Northwest Continent, Soul Hall Northwest Branch in the Mountain Range of Departed Souls.
"What?"
"Yun Shan's life plaque has shattered!"
"That useless thing. Quickly check the image from before his death."
At those words,
the Protectors of the Soul Hall Northwest Branch gathered around the crystal ball to watch.
After all, Yun Shan was a puppet they had spent no small price raising up. Now, he had died before even being put to use.
How could they not be furious?
The purple crystal ball glowed.
Under the spell of a Heaven-rank Protector, a Dou Zong from the Northwest Branch, an image emerged.
A middle-aged man appeared before their eyes.
The man gripped Yun Shan by the throat.
Yun Shan was lifted like a chick,
utterly unable to fight back.
Then he was crushed.
"Gasp!"
Before the Soul Hall Protectors could speak, the young man within the crystal ball seemed to notice someone spying on him.
His deep eyes glanced in their direction.
Then,
with a bang, the crystal ball exploded!
"What?!"
"Wasn't Yun Shan standing by in the Jia Ma Empire?"
"How could such an expert exist in a small nation so lacking in cultivation resources?"
"Which sect's younger generation does this man belong to?"
"He's actually this terrifying!"
The Northwest Continent was the place with the most impoverished cultivation resources on the Dou Qi Continent. In their understanding, it was impossible for such an expert to exist here.
Crushing a Dou Zong with a casual squeeze and attacking across space—such strength was likely no lower than a high-level Dou Zong!
"Chief Protector, according to Yun Shan's final message, he was planning to crusade against Ye Emperor Hall."
"It seems this man should be an expert from Ye Emperor Hall."
"Ye Emperor Hall?"
The Chief Protector of the Northwest Branch fell into thought.
The last time he had heard of Ye Emperor Hall was the previous time.
Three hundred years ago, when they had first arrived in the Jia Ma Empire, Ye Emperor Hall had been the strongest force there.
A hundred years had passed. Ye Emperor Hall should have vanished into the river of history by now.
But why did Ye Emperor Hall still have a Dou Zong expert stationed there?
"Could this man truly be an expert from Ye Emperor Hall?"
"Hmph, what is there to fear? Our Soul Hall Northwest Branch is likewise filled with experts. A mere Dou Zong is nothing!"
"Other than those Imperial Clans planted here, we've never feared anyone on this Northwest Continent."
"How dare Ye Emperor Hall provoke the dignity of our Northwest Branch!"
"Chief Protector, give the order!"
"This time, we must wipe out Ye Emperor Hall."
The Soul Hall Northwest Branch was the force with the deepest foundation on the Northwest Continent.
Its true founder behind the scenes was one of the Eight Great Imperial Clans—the Soul Clan!
"Do not act rashly."
"Do you remember that aura from a few days ago?"
The Chief Protector of the Northwest Branch seemed to recall something and hurriedly spoke.
"Chief Protector, you mean..."
With the Chief Protector's reminder, the Soul Hall Protectors suddenly understood.
"Yes, that's right."
"The vast Emperor's Might that appeared a few days ago came from the Jia Ma Empire."
"Gasp!"
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it..."
"Better safe than sorry!"
"This concerns the very survival of our Northwest Branch. We absolutely must not act recklessly."
Now, none of them could remain calm.
A Dou Emperor!
That was a Dou Emperor!
If they angered such an expert, then even if they searched the heavens and scoured the earth,
they would still die without a burial place!
Even with the Soul Clan's foundation, they might barely be able to contend for a moment.
But they would still suffer devastating losses, perhaps even be destroyed.
Since this might involve a Dou Emperor, they had no choice but to proceed carefully.
"I will report this matter to the elder of the Zhongzhou Human Hall before making further plans."
At the Chief Protector's order, the Soul Hall Protectors dispersed.
He alone headed toward the great hall where the elder of the Zhongzhou Human Hall resided.
Soul Hall's Human Hall in Central Continent.
"Hall Master, that is the situation."
"What? You're saying Ye Emperor Hall may be connected to a Dou Emperor?"
The Hall Master of Soul Hall's Zhongzhou Human Hall was initially doubtful. At his level, he knew more secrets.
In the present era, no Dou Emperor had emerged on the continent for ten thousand years. Forget Dou Emperors—even Dou Saints had long ceased to concern themselves with worldly affairs.
Yet he had indeed sensed Emperor's Might a few days ago.
"Very well. I shall conduct a small test and see exactly what Ye Emperor Hall is!"
As the Hall Master of Soul Hall's Zhongzhou Human Hall finished speaking, he circulated the Dou Qi throughout his body with all his strength. A pillar of light shot into the sky, and then his divine sense stepped into the river of time.
"Hehe, found it!"
Just as he was about to investigate, a sudden change occurred.
A sharp sword light struck out and severed his divine sense.
Within Soul Hall's Human Hall in Central Continent, the Hall Master of the Human Hall spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately withered away.
"Hall Master!"
The Chief Protector of the Northwest Branch hurried forward and supported the Human Hall Master, who had nearly fallen.
At the same time, he was greatly shocked. The Human Hall Master was a Half-Saint-level expert. How could such a powerful figure be injured so badly?
Could it be...
"Ye... Ye Emperor Hall contains great terror!"
"Rem... remember, do not provoke it!"
After the Hall Master of Soul Hall's Human Hall weakly finished speaking in fits and starts,
he went into seclusion. His soul had been damaged far too severely this time.
Thinking of what he had just seen still filled him with lingering fear.
A figure stood with its back to him, holding up heaven and earth, surrounded by sacred green lotuses that blotted out the sky.
Then, sword qi capable of splitting heaven and earth suddenly struck, shattering his soul.
Detected someone spying on Ye Emperor Hall. Automatically blocked.
"Spying on my Ye Emperor Hall?"
"How truly amusing!"
Ye Changge muttered as he fished.
Just anyone could spy on my Ye Emperor Hall now?
Didn't they know Ye Emperor Hall was protected by the system?
"Got one!"
"Looks like we're having grilled fish again tonight."
Being a sect master was truly leisurely. Whenever something came up, he could just leave it all to the elders and deacons below.
After fishing, he would take his bird for a walk.
As for cultivation? Cultivate my ass! Time to slack off!
How long had it even been since he transmigrated?
He had gone from zero cultivation to the Dou Ancestor Peak in that short time.
Had anyone ever seen such a young Dou Ancestor Peak Expert?
Ye Changge was not bragging. Looking across the entire continent, who could reach such cultivation at his age?
Any genius would be out of luck.
Meanwhile,
unlike him, everyone in Ye Emperor Hall was busy.
Ye Bai, the Outer Sect Elder, was busily coordinating with Xiao Zhan.
"Elder, this is the list of materials needed to construct Green Lotus City. Please take a look."
Xiao Zhan had listed all the materials needed for construction and handed the list to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai took the list, looked it over, and indicated that there was no problem.
They simply could not use up all the resources. Even when they were close to running out, an endless supply of resources would replenish them.
Because not long ago, Ye Emperor Hall had announced that it would build its own city, Green Lotus City.
Once the outside world received this news,
those with money contributed money, and those with materials contributed materials.
Well, having more people really did make things easier.
Construction was far too slow with the Xiao Family's small number of people alone.
Now, the outline of Green Lotus City could already be seen.
In terms of size alone, it was no less impressive than any city on the Northwest Continent.
In the future, it would truly deserve the title of the largest city on the Northwest Continent!
Meanwhile, inside another cultivation chamber of Ye Emperor Hall.
"So this is the Heavenly Flame my teacher obtained for me—the Green Lotus Core Flame?"
Inside the cultivation chamber, an enchanting green lotus flame slowly burned.
"Worthy of being a Heavenly Flame!"
"The energy it contains is truly terrifying!"
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. He was about to break through.
The Dou Qi within his body gradually poured outward. Wave after wave of Dou Qi transformed into liquid, continuously thickening the Dou Qi Garment around him. At the same time, as vast amounts of Dou Qi gathered in his dantian, he was about to reach the critical point!
"Break for me!"
With a roar from Xiao Yan, the barrier to a one-star Da Dou Shi shattered in response.
