Roar!
A soaring, resonant dragon's cry seemed to ring through heaven and earth. A streak of golden light shot skyward from North Heaven Pass, crashed into the astral winds, thunder, and flames after flying millions of li through the air, then soared straight into the sea of stars.
The moment they raised their heads, every living being in Yanzhou could see the profound golden radiance within that sea of stars. Its light swam through the starry sea like a dragon, coiling through the sky before scattering into several hundred streaks of light that descended into Yanzhou's Northern Region.
As those hundreds of streaks of light landed respectively within the fifty-three Dao Palaces of Yanzhou's Northern Region, the living beings throughout the entire region felt, almost simultaneously, that heaven and earth had become somewhat clearer. The unseen shackles binding all living beings also began to collapse and disperse.
This was felt most clearly by Rogue Cultivators, demon beasts, and spirit beasts. The countless fetters and barriers that had once limited their breakthroughs began to weaken, as though this world had started welcoming and accepting them.
Countless Rogue Cultivators, demon beasts, and spirit beasts were so excited that they nearly wept with joy. Especially those already in their twilight years and on the verge of exhausting their lifespans—they had suddenly gained another measure of hope for extending their lives.
In the past, the Qiankun Dao Sect had suppressed Yanzhou. It had established fifty-three Dao Palaces in Yanzhou's Northern Region, erected North Heaven Pass, controlled the region's earth veins and spiritual currents, and locked down its dragon qi.
On the surface, the Qiankun Dao Sect appeared to be suppressing humanity's fortune. In truth, it had placed chains around the necks of every living being in Yanzhou's Northern Region.
Cultivation posed no great problem
