Although the Tian Lan Continent was divided into the East, West, North, and South Plains, their combined area was not even comparable to the Middle State. Furthermore, since the Middle State, the number of high-level cultivators that appeared in the Middle State was often more than the sum of the four plains.
The reason was none other than the vast land and abundant resources. High-grade large-scale spirit veins crisscrossed and could accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators. In addition, there were many small and medium-sized spirit veins that were derived from the large-scale spirit veins spread throughout the Middle State, allowing some small sects and families to find a place to live and recuperate.
The surrounding Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were like natural barriers that separated the Central Province from the Four Wilderness. Except for the Northern Plains, which was completely controlled by the Soul-Devouring Rat King, the other Demon Kings in the other three Wilderness seemed to have sealed their own territories and restricted their own territories. They didn't care much about the territories of Eastern Ao, Southern Border, and Western Wasteland.
One day, a green beam of light suddenly flashed from the Eastern Myriad Mountains and stopped high in the sky. Then, it looked into the Middle State's hinterland. After a while, a blurry figure appeared in the beam of light. He was holding a map jade scroll in his hand, as if he was confirming his location.
The person who came was Yi Tian. After the Thousand Eagle King's birthday banquet, he rushed back to his sect's blessed land in Eastern Ao. Over the past decade, he had consolidated the forces in Eastern Ao. Only after the aftereffects of the Sea Race's invasion in the East Sea had been eliminated did he decide to head to the Middle State to deal with the Li Fire Sect's branch.
Before he came, Yi Tian had made sufficient preparations. Huo Chilian had also successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm with the support of his sect. Although he was later than Yi Tian by nearly a hundred years, he was still considered a rising star in Eastern Ao. As such, his sect became the sect with the most Yuanying cultivators among the Six Sects of Eastern Ao. With the sudden increase in strength, he had intimidated the other sects.
The two branch sects, Xuan Ling and Tie Jian, were happy to see this. After all, they were considered a united sect. Everyone was one family, so the main sect's strength would not suppress the other two branch sects.
As for the White Bone Gate, Yin Corpse and Medicine Valley, they surprisingly remained silent. After that, the three families actually came to congratulate him with lavish gifts. Among them, White Bone Gate was the most active.
Everyone knew that they were considering Liu Piaopao's original background. They had even entrusted the promising juniors of the Liu Yue Clan with important tasks. In this way, they hoped to use this line to tie together their interests.
As usual, Master Scarlet Sun was mainly responsible for the operations of the Sect, while the others did their best to assist him. Whenever there was an important matter, it would be left to Master Scarlet Sun.
Now that Daoist Scarlet Sun had consumed the Life Prolongation Pill concocted from the Spirit Yang Fruit, his vitality was obviously much more vigorous than before. In his words, even if he couldn't make any progress in his cultivation base, he could still stay in the sect for another three to four hundred years.
After hearing those words, Yi Tian felt confident enough to make a trip to the Central Continent. But, before leaving, he had a private conversation with Huo Chilian. In addition to giving him some pointers on his cultivation, he also specifically mentioned the matter of the sect's keepsake.
When Huo Chilian heard that, he immediately handed over the keepsake kept by the Origin Artifact Pavilion without another word. He only mentioned that he and Lu Jinyuan would definitely not sit together in the same hall.
With regards to this, Yi Tian could only helplessly nod his head in agreement. Finally, he explained the pros and cons to Huo Chilian and agreed to his request.
Now, he already had four keepsakes in his storage ring. As long as he obtained the two in Lu Jinyuan's hands, he would have all of them. However, when he recalled the time at the Myriad Eagle King's birthday banquet, Hu Yiyuan did not seem to treat him as warmly as before.
It was no wonder that Lu Jinyuan had tried every means to rope him in when they first met. Now, after unifying the three Eastern Ao Sects, his faction was on par with the Central Continent's Li Fire Sect, or it could be said that he had the potential to replace them.
Furthermore, he believed that Lu Jinyuan had planted quite a number of spies in Eastern Ao. As such, news of the changes in the Eastern Ao Six Sects over the past few decades would immediately reach Lu Jinyuan's hands.
Hence, Hu Yiyuan appeared indifferent to him at the Myriad Eagle King's birthday banquet. It was likely that Lu Jinyuan had come personally to visit. From this, it could be seen that Hu Yiyuan was trying to avoid arousing suspicion, trying his best to avoid an early encounter with him.
This was also what he wanted. Everyone would be busy with their own matters. As long as Hu Yiyuan did not interfere with him, he would let him be.
This trip to the Central Continent had many troubles. Previously, he had discussed with Daoist Scarlet Sun that he would visit the Heavenly Fortune Sect, Wisdom Monastery, as well as many other sects.
After all, the Li Fire Sect was an overlord from thousands of years ago. Now that he was rashly unifying them, it was inevitable that he would be criticized by others. As long as these large sects had suspicions, they would definitely secretly plot against him. They would definitely not allow him to succeed so easily.
However, Yi Tian still had some concerns for this trip to the Central Continent. Back then, he had offended the Thousand Spirit Sect's Thousand Spirit Abyss. He believed that after nearly a hundred years, they would definitely not sit still. It was unknown when the Thousand Spirit Sect's Qian Lingzi would appear.
For this trip to the Central Continent, Yi Tian did not deliberately use any long-distance teleportation arrays. Although he had two teleportation points on hand, one was the Wisdom King Path's internal passageway, and the other was the escape route left behind by the Heavenly Secrets Sect's Xiao Linhang.
However, he did not want to expose his whereabouts for the time being. Hence, after much discussion with the Myriad Eagle King, he chose a small path through the hundred thousand mountains. Along the way, he converged his aura and stealthily traversed the hundred thousand mountains through this path.
After entering the Central Continent for the first time, Yi Tian did not want to stir up any big waves. Now, it was best for him to lay low. After scanning the map jade scroll in his hand, he realized that the closest sect was the Thousand Spirit Sect. However, he had no plans of meeting the Thousand Spirit Abyss for the time being. Hence, he had to take a detour.
In the previous battle of the Taihuang Mountain, the Demonic Dragon Religion of the Central Continent was involved. He did not know how the Central Continent dealt with the Demonic Dragon Religion after that.
After scanning the map in the jade slip, this place was only a few thousand miles away from the Demonic Dragon Religion. It was suitable to be the first stop after setting foot in the Central Continent.
Then Yi Tian turned around and flew straight toward the territory of the Demonic Dragon Religion. There were many considerations in choosing the lair of the Demonic Dragon Religion. Previously, he used the Purifying Spirit Bottle to trap the primordial spirit of the Demon Realm's vanguard, then he refined it into a soul bead.
Although his Divine Thought had been suppressed, it was hard to guarantee that these upper realm's powerhouses would have a backup plan. Moreover, he only had two souls and five spirits in his hand. The remaining one soul and two spirits were also a hidden disaster. The best way now was to find a precious material to refine a spiritual weapon to suppress and integrate the two souls and five spirits into it.
Before the massacre, the Demonic Dragon Religion's lair must also have a source of demonic qi, so it was suitable to refine a spiritual weapon there.
