First Arrival on the Heavenly Azure Continent
The Great Thousand World, Extraterritorial Space.
Darkness, boundless darkness, accompanied by the endless howling Gale Wind. Terrifying Spatial Storm, like the sharpest blades in the world, tear and slicing through all matter in the dark void.
However, the Spatial Storm that terrifies ordinary people is nothing to the person who appeared here today. After curiously looking around, he shook his head in disappointment.
"As expected, an endless storm leaves no room for life!"
The person who arrived was Xiao Han. After leaving Langya Heavenly Palace, Xiao Han directly broke through the dimensional barrier and stepped into the Endless Void ordinary people were unwilling to set foot in.
Sensing the bright light in his mind, he flashed and easily passed through the storm's blockade, traveling several miles away. With a few leaps, he disappeared from sight.
The dangers of traversing the Endless Void are undeniable; without a precise route, there is only one outcome...
Completely lost and sinking into this darkness.
Perhaps it was Xiao Han's good fortune that the Lower Plane from which Battle Venerable Mingyu came from was not far from the Great Thousand World. After traveling in the darkness for only half a month, Xiao Han knew that he had arrived at his destination.
The reason I know about it, rather than see it with my own eyes, is because of that nauseating smell that I can smell from thousands of miles away.
"Extraterrestrial Evil race?"
Xiao Han was stunned at first, then overjoyed, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Finally found it."
"This strength is not bad; they actually have a Netherworld Nether Demon Emperor among them?"
With his spiritual power far exceeding that of his peers, Xiao Han easily spotted the most outstanding member of this group of Extraterrestrial Evil race —three thousand Demon Subjugation Points!
As they drew closer, a shimmering golden sphere with countless black spots appeared before Xiao Han's eyes.
This is the Heavenly Azure Continent, the hometown that Battle Venerable Mingyu remembers.
The outer golden sphere is a self-sealing array formed thousands of years ago by sacrificing the lives of countless super-strong individuals from the Heavenly Azure Continent. As long as the array remains intact, the powerful beings of the Extraterrestrial Evil race will be unable to invade the Heavenly Azure Continent, and those small fry who sneak in through the gaps in the array will not be a match for the Tian Lan powerhouses.
The black spots clinging to the golden magic circle are naturally the Extraterrestrial Evil race hoping to enter Tian Lan, like bloodsucking worms gnawing at the lifeline of this Tian Lan.
However, Xiao Han quickly frowned, a look of doubt on his face.
"These Extraterrestrial Evil race have actually gathered together?"
Surely it can't be a group banquet?
He hasn't even made a move yet, and they can't even get a seat at their boss's banquet!
He casually tossed a few Array Disc aside and concealed them. The following day, Xiao Han quietly circled the territory of the Extraterrestrial Evil race. Their gathering activities had not yet ended.
Xiao Han seized the opportunity and, without alerting the Extraterrestrial Evil race on the periphery, silently infiltrated the sealed continent before him.
······
"A false heaven."
At this Heavenly Azure Continent was bathed in clear skies and blazing Blazing Sun. Looking up at the sky above, one could only see the azure expanse, completely unaware of the world-ending crisis lurking beneath the surface of peace.
Xiao Han casually chose a city, landed outside the city, and entered the city through the city gate without even needing to disguise himself. There was no difficulty involved, and everything was so natural.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll have to borrow your purse for now."
Xiao Han weighed a cloth bag in his hand and muttered apologetically to himself.
After passing by a man dressed in fine clothes, he simply swiped the man's purse.
After all, he had no choice. He was new to the place and didn't have the currency of the Heavenly Azure Continent. He couldn't just randomly pick a road and shout, "This road is mine, this tree is mine."
Moreover, he didn't take it for free; he at least left the other party a copy of a cultivation technique from Battle Venerable Mingyu's memories, a technique that was considered above average in rank on the Heavenly Azure Continent.
"Hmm? It doesn't seem like it's a bad idea."
Xiao Han was trying to hypnotize himself to dispel his guilt when he suddenly paused and murmured.
Although robbery is against principles, he can still rob bandits!
Isn't this robbing the rich to help the poor and acting on behalf of Heaven?
However, now that he had entered the city, Xiao Han had no intention of leaving again. He walked into the lobby of a restaurant on the side of the street, sat down, and ordered a table of signature dishes and drinks like an ordinary diner.
His purpose in coming to the restaurant was also very clear: to gather intelligence.
The memories of the Battle Venerable Mingyu date back thousands of years. The world has changed, and thousands of years have passed. The Heavenly Azure Continent will naturally not stand still. Even if you want to go to the territory of other forces to gather some information, you have to find the right place.
His mental energy spread out, encompassing the entire restaurant, and a flood of conversations instantly entered his mind. The noisy sounds made Xiao Han frown.
This is also why Xiao Han did not release his spiritual power directly on the street. With people coming and going and the noise and commotion, he knew he couldn't withstand such torment.
And so, Xiao Han managed to endure for half an hour in such terrible conditions.
"Check, please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han walked out of the restaurant with a complicated expression.
This intelligence gathering was indeed necessary; at least we gained a clear understanding of the current power structure on the Heavenly Azure Continent.
The strongest force on the Heavenly Azure Continent today is undoubtedly the Heavenly Azure Hall. The very name "Tian Lan" speaks volumes about its power and ambition. The Heavenly Azure Hall is a transcendent entity on the Heavenly Azure Hall Heavenly Azure Continent, and besides it, there are four Super faction and more than ten first-rate forces.
Among them, the Ming Mingshen Palace, founded by Battle Venerable Mingyu, is a first-class force, which surprised Xiao Han. This Super faction, which suffered heavy losses due to the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Evil race thousands of years ago, has only declined slightly over the past few thousand years.
"Heavenly Azure Hall, Zhengyuan Sect."
These are the two forces that Xiao Han has doubts about.
The Heavenly Azure Hall, needless to say, was established two thousand years ago and became the strongest force on the Heavenly Azure Continent. Over the past thousand years, it has weathered countless storms and faced numerous challengers, yet the Heavenly Azure Hall remains as steadfast as a reef in a storm, and has only grown stronger.
There seem to be many rumors about the Heavenly Azure Hall on the Heavenly Azure Continent, and most of these rumors are negative. For example, the Heavenly Azure Hall suppresses other forces, secretly kidnaps and turns geniuses from other forces, and even more so, it is rumored that the unexplained disappearances of many talented and powerful individuals from various forces and independent cultivators are related to the Heavenly Azure Hall, and other forces dare not speak out against it.
With the Heavenly Azure Hall failing to issue a denial or even respond, these rumors have only spread more widely.
Upon learning this, Heavenly Azure Hall gave Xiao Han a sense of déjà vu of the Soul Clan, the only difference being that the Soul Clan's actions were undisguised and almost undeniable, belonging to the generally accepted "secrets".
However, Heavenly Azure Hall is different; most of what is said here is just hearsay, without any evidence.
Furthermore, unlike the Soul Clan who do absolutely nothing good, the disciples Elder of the Heavenly Azure Hall frequently appear throughout the Heavenly Azure Continent to clean up "Demonic Creature." Xiao Han speculates that these Demonic Creature are likely Extraterrestrial Evil race that have sneaked in.
However, without seeing it with his own eyes, Xiao Han dared not draw a conclusion.
If Heavenly Azure Hall can be considered strange, then Zhengyuan Sect, the leader of the four Super faction, is evil in Xiao Han's eyes.
