The former Nine States where Chao Nian was from was a top-level domain. Unfortunately, a single shift had exhausted almost all of the domain's resources, causing the Nine States to weaken. It was only a few years ago that it was barely promoted to a large domain.
Now, everything was developing in a good direction. The cultivators of the Nine States had left the starry sky and connected with the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. The Nine States itself had the Flower Domain attached to it. The two complemented each other. Coupled with the special existence of Little Nine, the Nine States had leaped into a large domain that could rapidly grow.
This was an advantage that no other domain in the starry sky could reach. It could be said that the future of the Nine States was worth looking forward to.
In front of Lu Ye, Su Yuqing suddenly understood. "So, ten thousand years ago, although Chao Nian died, the inheritance of the Dao Tree was still left in the Nine States?"
"That should be the case." Lu Ye nodded.
This inheritance might have had other owners before Chao Nian, and after Chao Nian, it might have had several owners until Lu Ye obtained it a few years ago.
"I see!" Su Yuqing murmured.
Lu Ye looked at her. "What did you think of?"
Su Yuqing said, "Actually, when I saw these records about the Nine States and Chao Nian, I was puzzled about one thing. The Nine States was the top-level domain occupied by the Human Race. Even if Chao Nian had done many evil things, the various factions only needed to kill Chao Nian to take revenge. Why did they gang up to attack the Nine States? Now that I think about it, Chao Nian was probably just a trigger. The inheritance of the Dao Tree was their true goal. They must have known at the time that the inheritance of the Dao Tree was still in the Nine States!"
Ordinary grievances were not enough for those factions to target the Nine States, but if there were enough benefits, it would be different.
The temptation of the inheritance of the Dao Tree was too great, and Chao Nian's actions gave them enough reasons and excuses. Thus, a great show of many factions joining forces to besiege the Nine States began.
If the experts of the previous Nine States Era had not been prepared, expending enormous energy and wealth to create the Plate of Heavenly Secrets, and using the power of the Plate of Heavenly Secrets to shift the Nine States away, the entire Nine States would have been dug up after that battle.
"Lu Ye." Su Yuqing said in a serious voice, "The senior you mentioned was right. When you go out, you must not mention the Nine States. Ten thousand years is a long time, but for those great factions, it is not that long. The name of the Nine States and the inheritance of the Dao Tree can lead to disaster."
Lu Ye nodded.
"As for the Little Human Tribe, only Rizhao and I know about this. The news will not be leaked, so you can rest assured."
Right now, Lu Ye was the master of the core source. In the future, he was destined to become the master of Mount Fangcun. It could be said that he was already bound together with Mount Fangcun. It was a relationship where if one of them suffered, the other would suffer. If one of them rose or fell, they would rise or fall together. The sunshine of the Minimen Tribe naturally wouldn't do anything that was disadvantageous to him.
Lu Ye was not worried about this. But then again, after chatting with Su Yuqing today, she learned some secrets that were closely related to her.
Suddenly, he thought of something. "Oh right, how long would it take for the three Fangcun Mountains to merge together?"
Su Yuqing did some calculations and replied, "Our eastern region is the closest to here. It will probably take less than three years. The southern region will take more than ten years. The western region is the furthest. I'm afraid it will take at least thirty to forty years."
"Then I have to hurry." Lu Ye was deep in thought. There was plenty of time for the south and west to integrate, but the east only needed less than three years, which was very urgent.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuqing was confused.
Lu Ye explained, "Although I've already refined the core source and also refined the Blood Ancestor's precious blood's consciousness, that drop of precious blood's corrosion of the Core World is omnipresent. Now, there are still remnants of the precious blood's power in the entire Core World. I have to carefully sort it out and completely purify the remaining power of the precious blood. Only then will the Minimen Tribe have nothing to worry about after Mount Fangcun is integrated."
"Is three years enough time?" Su Yuqing's expression tensed up. She clearly also realized that if the remaining power of the precious blood was not completely sorted out, it would lead to terrible consequences.
"It's about time. It doesn't matter if it's not enough. When the time comes, I'll seal the core, and the eastern region won't be able to integrate."
He had already sealed the core before, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to do it again.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Su Yuqing nodded.
Lu Ye looked at her beautiful face and blinked. "It's indeed very difficult. If there's a reward, I'll be even more motivated!"
Su Yuqing smiled and stood up. "I'll wait until you're done sorting out the core!"
After saying this, she rushed out of the Core World. Lu Ye's voice came from behind her. "You said it!"
After watching Su Yuqing leave, Lu Ye finally calmed himself down. After a short while, his figure flickered and he entered the core space.
As far as the eye could see, the core source was like a great sun. However, it was different from when he first saw it. At this moment, the core source was no longer shrouded in blood-red light. Instead, it was pure and flawless.
The core source was unharmed, but the entire Core World had yet to be sorted out.
Lu Ye directly jumped onto the core source and sat down cross-legged. With his identity as the master of the core source, he investigated the entire Core World. He extended the power of the Talent Tree and slowly refined the remaining power of the precious blood.
He didn't need to worry about the Nine Provinces. Not to mention that there were now four late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivators overseeing the Nine Provinces, there were even two in the Sunshine Realm. Lu Ye believed that while he was sorting out the Core World, Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai would take good care of the Nine Provinces.
Day after day, year after year.
Sorting out the Core World was extremely boring, but Lu Ye didn't dare to be careless. Otherwise, if there was even a little bit of the precious blood's power remaining, it could cause unpredictable consequences.
As he continued to refine the remnant power of the treasure blood, Lu Ye could feel his own holiness growing. At this moment, he really wanted to know how much power Blazing Heaven would have been able to display if he hadn't died and stood in front of him. If he had used his holiness to suppress him, how much power would he have been able to display?
Before refining the Blood Ancestor's precious blood, his own divine nature was already incomparable to that of the Blood Race. Now that he had refined a drop of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood, his divine nature had grown even more. This kind of suppression was fatal to the Blood Race.
Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai would occasionally come to the Core World to investigate the situation, but they didn't disturb him. Only once did Lu Ye take the initiative to contact Su Yuqing. He learned that they were now in the Nine Provinces and were living leisurely and comfortably.
For the two of them, all they had to do now was wait. It wouldn't be long before the Core World led the Eastern Core World over.
In the future, when the Southern Core World and the Western Core World returned, the Hominid Race would be unified. Both Rizhao and Chen Xuanhai were looking forward to this.
Mount Fangcun had been divided for a long time. In their generation, they finally had the opportunity to restore the glory of their ancestors. Everyone felt honored.
Nearly three years passed by in a leisurely manner.
On this day, Lu Ye carefully examined the Core World several times. After confirming that there was no more power left in the Core World, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Including the three years he had spent refining the precious blood, he had spent a total of six years in the Core World.
During this time, he hadn't cultivated, so his strength hadn't increased at all. But in his opinion, it was all worth it.
First of all, although his strength hadn't increased, his divine nature had undergone earth-shaking changes. In the future, when he faced the Blood Race again, even if it was Rizhao, he would be able to deal with them calmly.
Moreover, he had become the Core World's Master. In the future, he would be the Realm Master of Mount Fangcun!
In this way, the Hominid Race would become the strongest backing of the Nine Provinces. When he traveled outside, he wouldn't have to worry about any problems in the Nine Provinces.
After six years of hard work, he had reaped all these benefits. He had profited greatly!
As for his own strength, he could make up for it with a trip to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea after the matters here were settled. Moreover, after so many years of consolidation, Yue Yao's mid-stage cultivation base was stable enough.
Delighted, Lu Ye came out of seclusion.
His figure flickered, and he exited the Core World.
"Lord!" A familiar voice immediately rang out.
Lu Ye turned around and found that it was Xiang Yin and her sister, who had been guarding here all this time.
Lu Ye nodded slightly and turned to look in a certain direction. He could vaguely feel that there was something very close to him rapidly approaching. It seemed to be a part of him that was missing.
He immediately understood that Mount Fangcun in the east was coming. That feeling of missing something was the Core World's Master's intuition. It wasn't that he was missing something.
"Where are Senior Brother Chen Xuanhai and Senior Sister Su Yuqing?" Lu Ye asked.
Xiang Yin immediately replied, "The two of them left a few days ago to welcome Mount Fangcun in the east. Madam said that there would be some turbulence in this fusion, so they had to return to the east to oversee it. Madam also asked me to pass on a message to Lord, please oversee the Core World and maintain stability."
Lu Ye nodded. "I understand."
After carefully sensing for a while, he confirmed that Mount Fangcun in the east would fuse in less than a few days. Lu Ye decided to wait in the Core World.
He instructed, "You two can leave. You're not needed here anymore."
"Yes!" Xiang Yin and her sister accepted the order and left, heading straight in the direction of the Nine States.
Lu Ye raised his head and glanced at the Blood Smelting Realm in the distance, suppressing the sudden throbbing in his heart. No matter what, the fusion of Mount Fangcun was a top priority. He had to resolve this matter first.
Once again, he flashed into the Inner World and waited quietly.
A few days later, Lu Ye, who was overseeing the Core World, suddenly opened his eyes. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could clearly sense that Mount Fangcun in the east was coming!
Almost at the instant this thought appeared in his mind, heaven and earth changed.
A loud buzzing sound rang out from all directions. The space of the Core World became distorted, and the entire world seemed to become much more complete all of a sudden. The territory was also rapidly expanding … It wasn't expanding. Instead, it was like the missing pieces of a puzzle had been pieced together.
And this piecing together caused the Core World and even the east to tremble and become restless.
Lu Ye raised his hand. With a thought, he mobilized his origin power. It was like a large invisible hand, brushing past the turbulent area. In an instant, the turbulent area became peaceful!
The turbulence caused by the fusion of Mount Fangcun in the east and the Core World lasted for half a month. After half a month, when the dust had settled, Lu Ye could clearly sense that the Core World had expanded many times. There were also many more familiar sceneries, sceneries that originally belonged to Mount Fangcun in the east.
