Situ Mingyue did not mind telling the people of every sect why Martial Dao had emerged.
After all, six or seven years had passed. Those who were meant to cultivate Martial Dao had long since embarked upon it.
Countless sects had also poured vast resources into this matter.
Even if they were told the purpose now, could they still stop?
Besides, the Martial Dao tournament offered a chance to obtain Immortal Artifacts.
For countless cultivators, that was an extremely worthwhile bargain.
They could not use fragments of the "Beyond-Heaven Meteorite," but they could always use Immortal Artifacts, couldn't they?
Only after the many experts of the Northern Sect Alliance received Situ Mingyue's message did they learn the truth behind Xu Qingchuan's death.
A demon?
Thinking of Xu Qingchuan's blood-red Power of the Great Dao and those strange actions, had he turned demonic?
Meanwhile, Situ Mingyue returned to her sect.
She had originally intended to investigate whether anyone else within the Great Yang Sect had cultivated Extraterritorial Power.
But that group had all fled, and she could not be bothered to pursue them.
She was not Zhang Yang. Without Spatial Power, chasing them across tens of thousands of miles would not be easy.
Her overwhelming suppression, coupled with the warning from Martial Dao's power, caused the experts of the Northern Sect Alliance to restrain themselves considerably.
Many experts who had secretly cultivated Extraterritorial Power went into hiding, not daring to show themselves lightly for fear of being discovered.
The chaos on Azure Cloud Continent was brought under control.
But the other continents were another matter entirely.
Ling Xu, Kong Xu, and Zixu of One-Guard Monastery gathered together again, helpless and troubled.
"Only three years remain!" Ling Xu said slowly. "Although we have made some overall changes, many internal problems still remain."
