On the other side!
Snow Bamboo Peak.
Ye Xuan was sitting cross-legged in the void, cultivating the Sky Burying Technique at a moderate pace. A faint image of the Sky Gate appeared behind him. Clearly, he was condensing his first Sky Gate.
However, if he wanted to condense a Heaven Gate, he would need an enormous amount of resources to fill it. According to Ye Xuan's cultivation speed, it would take him at least ten million years to condense the first Heaven Gate. He couldn't afford to wait.
"Why does the first Sky Gate make my Divine Soul throb?"
Ye Xuan stopped cultivating with a puzzled look in his eyes. During the process of condensing his first Sky Gate, his Divine Soul had been throbbing slightly. This throbbing made Ye Xuan extremely puzzled. It was as if something extraordinary was contained in the first Sky Gate.
Ye Xuan suppressed this strange emotion. He indifferently looked down at the sea of clouds in front of him. His heart gradually became calm, and his entire person seemed abnormally calm.
After stepping into the Immortal Realm, Ye Xuan's entire body became calm. This kind of calm state of mind was what he needed, because only by doing this would he be able to steadily increase his cultivation. This was also a type of mental training.
However, Ye Xuan had a faint premonition that when he opened the first Heaven Gate, there would definitely be some unexpected changes. This kind of change should be developing in a good direction, and this feeling was extremely strong.
…
Time was like water, fleeting. In the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years had passed. Ye Xuan cultivated on Snow Bamboo Peak every day and rarely appeared in the outside world. Apart from Fatso Huang and Gu Beichen who could occasionally see him, even Green Ghost Daoist and the other Immortal Realm experts couldn't see Ye Xuan.
These thirty thousand years passed very quickly. Ye Xuan cultivated quietly every day. However, the entire North Region was in chaos. This was because the North Region Celestial Court had begun to expand again. Everywhere they passed, there would be a reign of terror.
Plunder, endless plunder.
Massacre, monstrous massacre.
Under the lead of over ten Sempiternal Realm experts, the Celestial Court of the Northern Region seemed to have transformed into a terrifying killing machine. Everywhere they passed, sects and clans would be annihilated, and there was no one in the entire Northern Region who could stand up to them.
Such inhumane massacres and unscrupulous annihilation of sects and clans finally aroused the resistance of a large number of orthodoxies. These orthodoxies banded together and began to resist the Celestial Court of the Northern Region. War after war broke out in the Northern Region.
It was not that these sects and orthodoxies wanted to become enemies with the Celestial Court of the Northern Region. They were already willing to submit, but the Celestial Court of the Northern Region would not let them go. They had no choice but to resist knowing that they would die.
In fact, the instigator of all this was Ye Xuan. It was because Ye Xuan had issued an order, and this order was the reason why the Celestial Court of the Northern Region had started a massacre in the Northern Region.
As mentioned before, the Northern Region was a land of bitter cold. It snowed all year round, and resources were extremely scarce. When the Three Major Sects of the Northern Region were still around, they controlled almost all of the cultivation resources in the Northern Region. Some of the orthodoxies also relied on the Three Major Sects to survive.
However, after the war between the Three Sects, a large amount of cultivation resources were depleted. Even when Ye Xuan broke through to the Immortal Realm, the Three Sects' resources were depleted. The Celestial Court of the Northern Region had nothing left.
If Ye Xuan wanted to cultivate, he naturally needed endless resources to accumulate his cultivation base. Therefore, he ordered the Celestial Court of the Northern Region to annihilate sects and clans. He even frantically plundered the orthodoxies of all sizes and sent all of the cultivation resources to the Snow Bamboo Peak for his cultivation.
Ye Xuan's actions were completely deranged. He was also squeezing the entire Northern Region dry. He wanted to squeeze every last bit of useful value out of them.
Of course, Ye Xuan was not a kind person. He didn't have a compassionate heart either. He only wanted to open the first Gate of Heaven as soon as possible so that his cultivation could reach the next level. This was his most simple goal.
As for the life and death of the Northern Region, it had nothing to do with him because Ye Xuan had always believed in one phrase: every man for himself and the devil takes the hindrance. The weak were like dogs while the strong were like the heavens. The so-called compassionate heart was only a stumbling block for him.
These 30,000 years were filled with bloodshed. The Northern Region was extremely vast, but cultivation resources were truly scarce. However, under Ye Xuan's oppressive methods, the Celestial Court of the Northern Region plundered and slaughtered like a mad dog. Large amounts of cultivation resources were continuously sent back to the Snow Bamboo Peak.
Therefore, during these thirty thousand years, Ye Xuan had been cultivating every day. A large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures had been exhausted by him, and his cultivation had also increased day by day. This was indeed a joyous occasion for Ye Xuan.
As for how many creatures died in the outside world and how many orthodoxies and sects were destroyed, Ye Xuan didn't care about these. He only cared about how many Heaven and Earth treasures the Celestial Court of the Northern Region had plundered. This was what he truly cared about.
Grievances were everywhere and people were plunged into misery and suffering!
Ye Xuan's actions were like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. However, Ye Xuan didn't care because he didn't want to stay in the Northern Region. He only wanted to open the first Gate of Heaven as soon as possible because his battlefield was in the Central Region.
Of course, the Celestial Court of the Northern Region had been waging wars for years and had suffered great losses. More than ten Immortals had even come together to visit Ye Xuan, hoping to stop the slaughter.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was truly impulsive and a tyrant. He directly killed one of the Immortals, frightening them so much that they hurriedly begged for forgiveness. After that, he led the Celestial Court of the Northern Region to plunder resources from the outside world.
Ye Xuan's actions were too extreme and unbefitting of a leader. This would also cause the Celestial Court of the Northern Region to lose their morale. However, Ye Xuan didn't care because he clearly understood that only personal strength was eternal. The so-called influence was ultimately nothing more than an illusion.
Ever since he'd seen the most powerful and taboo figures of all times, Ye Xuan had understood a principle. In this chaotic universe, as long as you reached the peak, you would have everything. If you were only intoxicated by a certain power and complacent, then sooner or later, you would be eliminated by the experts and become the bones under the feet of others.
On the Snow Bamboo Peak.
Fatso Huang and Gu Beichen looked solemn. Ye Xuan was still immersed in cultivation. The Elysium's shadow behind him became more and more solid. Clearly, the 30,000 years of cultivation had deepened Ye Xuan's cultivation.
"What's the matter?" Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Sir, there are many complaints in the outside world. Even the Celestial Court of the Northern Region is gossiping. If this continues, I'm afraid …!" Fatso Huang hesitated.
"You're afraid that they'll betray me?" Ye Xuan smiled faintly.
"Sir, water can carry a boat, but it can also sink it. Right now, all the living beings in the Northern Region see you as the Devil King. Countless orthodoxies and sects have joined forces to suppress you. Even the entire Celestial Court of the Northern Region is dissatisfied with you. I'm afraid …" Gu Beichen was slightly worried.
"The wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and the betrayal of the people?"
Ye Xuan smiled. However, his smile was very strange. He looked down at the sea of clouds in front of him and said in a low voice, "If a person is so powerful that no one can stop him, then he's the one who makes the rules. Only the weak will care about the thoughts of some ants. Moreover, I'm also very curious to see who dares to rebel against me."
"Most importantly, I think that Old Demon Beiming and Hierarch Beiming won't be able to sit still."
Fatso Huang was slightly startled. He asked tentatively, "Sir, you mean …?"
"Our battlefield is in the Central Region. We're only staying in the Northern Region for a short while. Although the Celestial Court of the Northern Region was created by me, its members are originally from the six sects. They're not loyal to me at all. I'm just making use of trash."
"Only after a cruel selection can I truly make the Celestial Court of the Northern Region work for me." Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Sir, we understand!" Fatso Huang and Gu Beichen nodded slowly.
