The first group to enter the Evil Infested Ridge was the Eastern Empire's team!
The Eastern Empire's vanguard, outside of being the host to welcome the disciples from the great powers, was also responsible for screening the qualifications of the sects and cultivators to enter the Evil Infested Ridge.
This time, the Eastern Empire's vanguard was personally led by Eldest Princess Mo Yu. In addition, the Eastern Gorge County Governor, Lin Yang, was the vice commander.
In the first Hidden Dragon Exam after the reformation, Lin Yang performed well and was ranked in the top five of the empire. At that time, he was appointed as the Demon Slayer General and took orders from Eldest Princess Mo Yu.
In the war against the Pantheon of Demons in the following years, he fought valiantly at the vanguard and made remarkable contributions time and time again. His official rank was jumping every year. Right now, he was already in the level of a governor of a border!
Today, the Myriad Demon Temple only existed in name. The demons either surrendered or were killed. Dongfang Jie's whereabouts were unknown.
Outside of the fact that his official rank was not hereditary, his authority was even greater than his father's in the past. The original one hundred and eight territories were divided into more than fifty counties. As the governor, the area under his jurisdiction was even larger than Zhenyuan Hou.
In order to eliminate the Myriad Demon Temple, Lin Yang fought in the Evil Infested Ridge for many years. Since he was the governor, he understood the situation and was fully responsible.
Ten years of fighting, ten years of tempering, Lin Yang was no longer the ignorant youth of the past.
His face had become resolute while his gloomy gaze carried traces of fierceness. He wasn't as lively and frail as he was all those years ago. His cultivation also increased by leaps and bounds, entering the early Spirit Severing stage. His aura was mighty and his future was limitless.
When the Eastern Empire's team was stationed at the Evil Infested Ridge's entrance, many cultivators had already heard the news and came.
Especially the vagrant cultivators and young cultivators in the vicinity, after hearing the news, they came early to watch from afar.
These vagrant cultivators and young cultivators definitely didn't have the qualifications to enter the Evil Infested Ridge.
However, they wanted to fish in troubled waters and see if they could sneak into the Evil Infested Ridge during the chaos.
Even if they couldn't sneak into the Evil Infested Ridge, they could use this chance to see the grand characters of the great powers. If they had the chance to see the grand characters of the saints, then this trip wouldn't be a waste.
After the Eastern Empire's troops arrived at the Evil Infested Ridge, these vagrant cultivators wisely left the ridge and watched from afar. They were not foolish enough to oppose a monster like the Eastern Empire.
"The Flying Phoenix Sect's sect master is here!"
Not long after Lin Yang and the others arrived on the mountain, they saw a cultivator riding a Flood Dragon Horse.
There were only three to five people following this Sect Master. Even so, this Sect Master's natural laws surged, and there were Great Dao fragments submitting to him. This made the expressions of many small cultivators change.
"The Flying Phoenix School is amazing, ah. Third place in the second Hidden Dragon Exam. They actually received special permission from his majesty to create a school and obtain the qualifications to enter the Evil Infested Ridge and explore the grand canyon."
Many young cultivators enviously commented after seeing the Flying Phoenix School in the distance.
When the Sect Master of the Flying Phoenix Sect arrived, Lin Yang, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, only cupped his fists from afar.
The Sovereign Xu Da didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Lin Yang, so he settled down on his own.
Next, a few sect masters from the Eastern Kingdom who were qualified to enter the Evil Infested Ridge also came.
However, they didn't bring many people and didn't dare to show off. They were very respectful towards Lin Yang and Mo Yu.
This was the characteristic of the Eastern Kingdom. The sects were no longer high up, they were vassals of the imperial power. The imperial power was not naturally obtained, it was bestowed by the people. The ruler was light while the people were important. The responsibility of cultivators was to fight for the mortals!
"The real big head is still the Starfire Academy, ah!"
"The Starfire Academy is supported by the entire kingdom!"
"That's right. Sect masters like Xu Da were all recruited from other countries and sects in the continent through the Hidden Dragon Exam. They were allowed to create the Flying Phoenix Sect in order to maintain the diversity of cultivation methods. Originally, they were all supposed to be teachers at the Starfire Academy! "
Many cultivators laughed and said.
Very quickly, they also arrived at the Starfire Academy.
Rays of light pierced through the heaven and earth. Natural laws surged and the grand dao surrendered. There were dozens of Spirit Formation cultivators and several hundred Nascent Soul cultivators. Unfortunately, there were no Saints. However, this momentum was not inferior to the ten great divine schools. Their development could be said to be rapid.
The leaders were Lin Hanqing and Fang Jinlong.
The two of them had already given up their ancestral titles and fiefs. Moreover, they disliked the competition in the imperial court and were unwilling to become ministers. Furthermore, they missed Jiang Tian and helped him fulfill his wish. Thus, they became the principals of the Starfire Academy and nurtured talents for the Eastern Kingdom.
Even though ten years had passed, the Eastern Kingdom still missed Jiang Tian.
The Starfire Academy erected a stone statue of him that was as high as the clouds.
Moreover, he would always be the honorary principal!
"The Blackmoon Empire's Emperor Yachang is here —"
As the days passed, experts from the other great sects and countries outside the Eastern Kingdom arrived one after another.
"Boom — Boom — Boom —" In the horizon, a series of rumbling sounds echoed. Suddenly, a group of armored cavalry trod on the sky. This armored cavalry trod on the void, and the divine steeds under them were like lightning. In an instant, they drew a long shadow in the void. This armored cavalry trod across the sky like a flash of light.
"Neigh —" Along with a long neigh, the cavalry that was like a torrent of steel instantly stopped above the cliff. The entire cavalry was close to a thousand people, but they stopped in an extremely orderly formation, and their movements were like moving clouds and flowing water.
This armored cavalry troop was all equipped with divine steeds and armor. It was as if they were a triumphant iron brigade that had just returned from the battlefield. Every disciple of the armored cavalry troop was cold and murderous. Such an entire troop was cold and merciless. Their murderous intent soared to the sky, making it hard for people to breathe.
Seeing such an armored cavalry troop, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. To be able to cultivate such an armored cavalry troop, one could only imagine how shocking their origin was. What kind of powerful sect and country was this?
"It's the Yachang Emperor and our teacher, the Iron Hand Saint!"
After the Yachang Emperor arrived, Mo Yu and Lin Yang personally welcomed him.
The Yachang Emperor was the Crown Prince of Yachang. After ten years of bitter cultivation and countless opportunities, he had already reached the cultivation of a Half-Saint.
What was even more terrifying was that behind him stood an old man dressed in hemp clothes. The old man was tall and burly. The laws around him were as vast as the sea, and the Great Dao was as heavy as a mountain. The pressure of a Void Return Saint was released mightily, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
"Iron Hand Saint!"
Mo Yu hurriedly bowed respectfully.
The strength of the Iron Hand Saint was much stronger than that of Xu Zhe. Moreover, he could be said to be one of the strongest Saints in the secular world!
"Greetings, Iron Hand Saint, Yachang Emperor!"
Lin Yang also bowed his head, concealing the hatred that flashed in his eyes, but a chill appeared in his heart.
Ten years ago, if it weren't for Yachang's instigation, although his sister Lin Dai 'er was stupid, she wouldn't have rashly provoked Jiang Tian and ended up being killed with a palm strike!
There were dozens of disciples of the Iron Hand Saint, and all of them were extraordinary. With one look, one could tell that most of these disciples had stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm.
As a disciple of the younger generation, to be able to step into the Divine Transformation Realm was already very impressive. Especially in recent years, the Blackmoon Empire had been reforming the system of counties and counties. Feudal lords were rising, and the flames of war were spreading. The essence of heaven and earth was exhausted, and cultivation was very difficult!
"The Tian Luo Sect is here too! Yan Nanxian is leading the group! I heard that Yan Nanxian was extremely lucky. A dozen years ago, he was only at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, but now he has reached the Half-Step Void Return Realm and is known as a Half-Saint. As the deputy sect leader, he has a chance to become a true Saint in the future! "
Someone said emotionally.
When the Tian Luo Sect arrived, they were also extremely arrogant.
The man in the lead wore a simple and natural long robe. His beard was as dense as steel needles, and his expression was solemn. There was also a long sword on his back.
If there were knowledgeable people, they would be able to tell that the scabbard was made from the thinnest piece of dragon skin on the back of the Silver-Bearded Golden Eye Dragon. Although this kind of dragon was only a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, it was extremely rare and lived in the forbidden area of the universe.
If Jiang Tian was here, he would probably be greatly shocked as well.
This was because at this time in his previous life, Yan Nanxian was only at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, but now he was at the Half-Step Void Return Realm.
This was probably due to Jiang Tian's return, which more or less caused a butterfly effect and changed the course of history. For example, the Pantheon of Demons was destroyed earlier, the eruption of the canyon earlier, and Yan Nanxian's advancement earlier!
The man and woman behind him were his son Yan Beifei and his disciple Zhao Feifei.
The man wore a white robe that shone brightly. He was tall and straight like an unsheathed sword. He had reached the Early Divine Transformation Realm and was also a sacred-grade God.
As for the woman, she was dressed in crimson clothes. Her waist was slender like a snake, and her two long legs were wrapped in a short skirt. Her entire body was like a burning flame, but her pretty face was delicate and pretty. Her black hair hung down like ink, and she lowered her head slightly. Her two big eyes blinked, just like the girl next door.
However, her cultivation level was not to be underestimated. She was also at the Early Divine Transformation Realm.
"Why haven't I seen any Ancient Saints come?"
As the mighty figures of the Divine Sects, Holy Grounds, and Aristocratic Families arrived one after another, some inexperienced cultivators did not know the reason and asked curiously.
The so-called Ancient Sages were still Return to Void Stage Saints, but they had already reached the Return to Void Final Stage.
Ancient Saints basically did not show themselves. They were all in a state of concealment, so they were even more mysterious. Some people even said that the Ancient Saints were just illusory legends and that they had all died out long ago.
"You don't know. Legend has it that the Critical Canyon is very strange. Even Saints at the Mid and Late Divine Transformation Realm can't pass through the barrier. "
An old cultivator said.
"Ancient Saints won't appear easily now!"
An even older cultivator shook his head gently and said.
"In the past thirty thousand years, no new Late Divine Transformation Realm Ancient Saints have appeared on the continent. The original lifespan of the Ancient Saints was more than thirty thousand years, and the lifespan of a Return Void Cultivator is thirty thousand years. Therefore, they are either at the end of their lifespan or have stopped their blood flow and are unwilling to come out. "
"That's right. Although the Critical Canyon is a great opportunity, it's not enough for a Return Void Cultivator to reach the Dao Integration Realm! If they come out, it'll be a waste of their essence. It's not worth it! "
Some people expressed their agreement.
With the arrival of the disciples from the great sects, the Evil Infested Ridge became a sea of people and many cultivators set up camp. Some sects had treasure pavilions that were floating in the air, and their disciples directly lived in the pavilions. Some sects came with a huge ancient ship, which was both their flying treasure and their temporary residence. There were also cultivators who gathered in groups of three to five, chatting loudly and rubbing their palms together, waiting for the right moment to strike …
However, the number of cultivators that came to the Evil Infested Ridge was not limited to just these.
In the sky, there were disciples from the great sects that came from time to time. Some rode on swords, some rode on rocs, and some rode on huge flying mountains … There were all kinds of colors and strange things.
It could even be said that those below the Nascent Soul realm and vagrant cultivators that didn't have the backing of a great sect didn't dare to enter. After all, there were too many powerful forces here. Outside of the Ancient Saints that didn't take action, it could be said that the experts of the entire continent had gathered here with an unprecedented lineup.
Even though there was a certain amount of order, if you offended an expert and they wanted to kill you, no one would risk their life for a little cultivator like you. That would be an unforeseen disaster.
In this chaotic atmosphere, Jiang Tian arrived with the identity of a servant with the Luo Ying Sect.
He saw Yan Nanxian at first glance.
