The closer to the center of the East Divine Continent, the more prosperous the Martial Dao was. Most of the powerful empires were gathered in the center of the East Divine Continent.
The border regions were dominated by the lower regions. Most of the strongest forces were superior one-star sects, but there were a few two-star forces that were at the bottom of the empires but were respected in the border regions.
The True Xuan Region, the Watersun Region, the Jiangning Region, and the Dual River Region were all located in the eastern border regions of the East Divine Continent.
Among them were the two upper regions, the Azure Dragon Region and the Green Feather Region.
The Azure Dragon Empire was the ruler of the Azure Dragon Region and one of the two two-star empires in the surrounding ten regions.
In the surrounding ten regions, only the Green Feather Empire in the Green Feather Region could compete with the Azure Dragon Empire. The other forces were nothing in the Azure Dragon Empire's eyes.
In the surrounding ten regions, only the Green Feather Empire dared to go against the Azure Dragon Empire.
But even the Green Feather Empire was afraid of the Azure Dragon Empire. Even though they were not on friendly terms and had always been at odds with the Azure Dragon Empire, they did not dare to kill the Azure Dragon Empire's martial artists openly.
This time, the Ninth Prince of the Blue Dragon Empire, Long Xiao, had led a team of martial artists. Among them, there were more than ten Venerables and two Level Three Array Grandmasters. However, they were all killed in the Sky Corpse Mountain Range.
What was more serious was that the Ninth Prince's meridians were broken and his martial arts were crippled.
Moreover, what outsiders didn't know was that the Half Step Exalt Realm expert of the Azure Dragon Empire that guarded Black City had perished because of this, and his corpse was obliterated!
This was tantamount to touching the Azure Dragon Empire's reverse scale. The Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire, Honorable Yuan Guang, was furious. He personally led two one-star Venerables, dozens of Venerables, and close to a thousand Perfected Persons to the Sky Corpse Mountain Range to capture the murderer.
However, Honorable Yuan Guang and his people did not catch the murderer. It was as if the murderer had evaporated into thin air and disappeared without a trace.
According to the witnesses, the murderer's name was unknown. He was a young man with a sallow face, a Level Three Astral Realm cultivation, and a Level Three Array Grandmaster. He had a Red Flame Set, a supreme-grade flying spiritual weapon, and a supreme-grade spiritual bow with seven gems.
The experts of the Blue Dragon Empire used this as a clue to search the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range. They even sent teams to guard the main entrances and exits of the mountain range, but they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the yellow-faced young man.
His face was sallow, like a sickly invalid. With such obvious characteristics, it should be easy to find him, but there was no news at all.
Moreover, the tracking experts of the Azure Dragon Empire had been tracking the murderer's aura the entire time. After tracking for a period of time, they had completely lost the trail. No matter how powerful the tracking experts were, they still couldn't find any traces of the murderer.
Since the murderer dared to kill, it was obvious that he had something to rely on and wasn't afraid of being tracked down by the experts of the Blue Dragon Empire.
The Blue Dragon Empire's martial artists deduced that the murderer's face was most likely a fake. The real person's Qi and blood were abundant. In a thousand people, it was rare for one to appear sickly. A sickly person with a sallow complexion, although the characteristics were obvious, if it was a fake face, no matter how they investigated, they would not be able to find out.
One's appearance could be faked, but one's cultivation during battle could not be faked. One's attainments in formations could not be faked either.
Therefore, the Blue Dragon Empire expanded the scope of their investigation. All the Three Star Venerables in the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range were listed as targets.
Because of this, most of the witnesses of this incident were found by the Blue Dragon Empire. Even the Blue Feather Empire's team was no exception.
Among the Blue Feather Empire's team, only Yu Chenggan knew Ye Xing's identity. Of course, he wouldn't reveal it. The Blue Dragon Empire's experts simply didn't ask anything.
The Blue Feather Empire's Crown Prince being controlled by the Blue Dragon Empire's experts was also a big matter for the Blue Feather Empire. The Blue Feather Empire's Venerable Chen Yue personally rushed to the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range and took away the Blue Feather Empire's martial artists.
The only useful information the Blue Dragon Empire obtained was that the murderer had obtained a large amount of treasures and corpse jades in the Red Flame Venerable's burial ground.
Thinking that the murderer might take the risk to absorb the corpse jades and break through, the Blue Dragon Empire expanded the scope of their investigation. Not only the Three Star Venerables, but the Four Star Venerables were also listed as targets.
For a time, the people in the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range were in a state of panic, especially the Three Star and Four Star Venerables. Many of them were treated as suspects and arrested by the Blue Dragon Empire's experts. Although many were released, there were also those who died unjustly.
After a month of investigation, the murderer was still nowhere to be found. There was no news at all.
If there was any news of the murderer, the Blue Dragon Empire would definitely pursue it. However, there was no news at all. The Blue Dragon Empire naturally couldn't waste a large number of their experts in the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range, so they could only give up.
Venerable Yuan Guang led the majority of the experts back to the Blue Dragon Empire's capital, leaving behind a small number of people to continue the search in the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range.
… …
Ye Xing's top grade spirit grade Falling Star Art had broken through to the fourth stage. He had already been hiding in the underground cave for a month and a half.
"So much time has passed, the Blue Dragon Empire should have already given up. Even if they continue to investigate, there won't be too many people!"
"Counting the days, it's already October. The Yin Qi in the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range is gradually increasing. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range will be sealed and become a forbidden area!"
"The array, the Scarlet Flame Set, and the Big Dipper Bow will all expose my identity. If I encounter any danger in the future, I'll have to rely on my own strength to deal with it. I have to seize the time to break through to the fifth stage of the Astral Realm and then leave the Heavenly Corpse Mountain Range!"
Ye Xing thought to himself. He was now a four-star Enlightened Master, but his astral energy wasn't inferior to a six-star Enlightened Master. The corpse jade he needed for cultivation was the same as a six-star Enlightened Master's corpse jade.
Ye Xing had a total of three tenth grade Spiritual Corpse Jades. For an ordinary six-star Enlightened Master, two tenth grade Spiritual Corpse Jades would be enough for a breakthrough. However, Ye Xing needed more, so three pieces would be enough.
Ye Xing circulated the top grade spirit grade Falling Star Art and activated the Black Hole Stellar Vortex, absorbing the star energy in the corpse jades at a rapid speed.
In two days, Ye Xing would absorb one piece, and his cultivation would increase by a thousand miles every day.
Six days later, Ye Xing finished absorbing the three tenth grade Spiritual Corpse Jades. His cultivation in the fourth stage of the Astral Realm had reached its limit.
The astral energy in his body was vigorous and surging. Ye Xing controlled the astral energy and madly attacked the barrier of the fifth stage of the Astral Realm.
The breakthrough from the fourth stage of the Astral Realm to the fifth stage wasn't as difficult as the breakthrough from the third stage to the fourth stage. Ye Xing had accumulated enough astral energy in his body, so it didn't take long for him to break through the barrier of the fifth stage of the Astral Realm.
The astral energy in Ye Xing's body had a qualitative improvement again, and the connection between his meridians and Stellar Vortex was smoother.
Ye Xing successfully broke through to the fifth stage of the Enlightened Master.
At the end of last year, he broke through to the Astral Realm at the Young Hero Assembly and became a one-star Enlightened Master.
At that time, his goal was to break through to the fourth stage of the Enlightened Master in a year. Now that he was a five-star Enlightened Master, he exceeded his goal.
