Lu Li into seclusion.
After confirming the reasonable division of the million-strong herd of beasts.
After the dozens of demons Ying Fengquan and Yuanhao Qiu Mingzi, they ceased to cause trouble.
Lu Li announced that he would be going into seclusion.
Before going into seclusion, he sent one last message to the Great Xia.
He explained many trivial matters.
They conducted a final cross-border communication and planning meeting with Great Xia.
The Great Xia is preparing to establish a global cultivation integration system.
This is to integrate the fortunes of all humankind worldwide.
They also simultaneously launched a major extraterrestrial spiritual exploration program.
In this era of heightened Spiritual Qi resurgence, we strive to firmly grasp control of deep space.
It has been confirmed that Great Xia is unharmed.
Lu Li issued the final imperial decree.
" In the Primordial Beginning, all the provisions I needed for my seclusion were provided."
"Notify the Spirit Source Division to quickly gather the missing spiritual materials."
The advantages of having a large power are now fully apparent.
With just a single sentence, Lu Li could make the entire Dao Court function.
Millions of Demon Beast and hundreds of thousands of humans, regardless of whether they were cultivators or mortals.
After being relayed through layers of commands, they will all fall on the individual and be translated into actual actions.
After wasting decades, Lu Li has only reached this point.
Only then can they receive offerings.
With the support provided, everything else went smoothly.
Lu Li began his indefinite seclusion.
Under its sound system, the Dao Court continued to operate powerfully and quietly.
The elders far away in the Central Continent would never sit idly by and watch Lu Li develop silently.
Especially Zou Heng, who had learned his lesson the hard way once.
Having experienced a setback due to unpredictable factors, he learned that unpredictability is unpredictability.
We must not let our guard down.
Any slight change could turn into a catastrophe in the near future.
In the Central Continent, within the Yin-Yang Celestial Pivot Palace.
Zou Heng sat alone on the smooth floor.
His gaze fell upon the map of the Western Continent, and his expression turned much colder.
A sudden sound.
"Someone come here."
As soon as the words were spoken, a shadow in the hall stirred slightly.
A moment later, a thin crack appeared in the void.
A figure appeared silently and knelt on one knee.
"The chief priest."
Zou Heng didn't even raise his eyes, only saying calmly, "Go to Eastern Extremity Prefecture and summon the head of the Dongfang Household."
"Yes."
The figure vanished, and silence returned to the hall.
Within days, the void tore open again.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, breathing heavily, staggered out, his eyes still filled with horror.
"The Grand Master of Ceremonies summoned me urgently; what is the reason?"
Upon hearing the voice of the person who had entered, Zou Heng finally raised his eyes, his gaze calm and unwavering.
But this sent a chill down Dongfang Ce's spine.
Faced with this being that could control the life and death of the Dongfang Clan.
He dared not disobey in the slightest.
He bowed respectfully, not daring to speak again, awaiting Zou Heng's judgment.
"Back then... your Dongfang Household carefully selected a daughter from your direct lineage."
"He swore that this woman was most compatible with the Eastern Ancestral Artifact, and offered her into the Yin-Yang School in exchange for the Eastern Extremity Prefecture."
"But now..."
Before Zou Heng could finish speaking, the hall suddenly turned icy cold.
An invisible pressure, like a mountain collapsing.
He pinned Dongfang Ce to the spot, his spine creaking.
It revealed his anger and authority.
This filled Dongfang Ce with fear.
Even though his body was trembling uncontrollably, he dared not utter a single nonsense.
Zou Heng slowly rose to his feet, looking down at Dongfang Ce, who was prostrate on the ground.
The voice continued to emerge, as light as a feather.
"But now,"
"I have not sensed any movement."
"No movement means something unexpected has happened."
"Can your Dongfang Household bear the responsibility for this accident?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ce's pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
As the head of the Dongfang Household, he was the one most informed about the selection of the person to slay the dragon back then.
Of course, I know how much secrets are involved behind this.
If it weren't for offering up Dongfang Jiangxue and the ancestral artifact...
Where did the eternal Eastern Extremity Prefecture and the now powerful Yin-Yang School Dongfang Household come from?
He also knew that all of this depended on the person in front of him.
If Zou Heng were unwilling, the Dongfang Household would be overthrown immediately.
Upon realizing this, Dongfang Ce's body trembled violently, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He kowtowed violently, his forehead touching the ground.
His voice trembled urgently.
"Chancellor, please calm your anger! Chancellor, please calm your anger!"
" The Dongfang Household possesses Secret Method that allows them to forcibly summon ancestral artifacts and use their power to guide the Divine Soul!"
"No matter where that girl is, as long as the ancestral artifact exists, her life and death can be controlled!"
"Please allow me to make a fool of myself!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and formed Hand Seals.
Crimson blood gushed from his fingertips.
A mysterious rune quickly formed in front of him.
The runes spun, emitting a ghostly glow.
"Eastern Ancestral Weapon, heed my command!"
Dongfang Ce shouted in a low voice, and the runes suddenly exploded.
It transformed into countless threads of light and disappeared into the void.
It seems they are making contact about something.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
No response.
Dongfang Ce's face turned deathly pale. He activated the Secret Method once more, his Qi and Blood boiling, and veins bulging on his forehead.
Still silence.
Zou Heng's gaze gradually darkened.
For over a year, Dongfang Jiangxue remained completely silent.
He knew then that something had gone wrong again.
Although I don't know exactly what happened.
But Zou Heng knew that once a variable emerged, it would not be easily resolved.
This woman must have some inexplicable methods.
This tactic made him feel vaguely uneasy.
I just find it troublesome.
Why is it that everything becomes troublesome when it involves someone with the Dragon Fate?
From the Dragon Qi to prove the Dragon Fate, to the failure of the Dongfang Jiangxue.
Everything seemed to be foreshadowing something.
Zou Heng looked at the map in front of him.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on the increasingly solidified Dragon Qi in the Western Continent.
complex.
That was his only feeling at that moment.
When the state of Jin was divided into three parts, he personally participated in that upheaval.
For ten thousand years, each of the Hundred Schools governed its own prefecture, the Central Continent were at peace, and no one dared to utter the words "Great Jin" again.
But now, another true dragon has appeared.
It is very similar to the power of the Great Jin in its heyday.
I recall the Great Jin of yesteryear.
The royal family is ruthless, cultivators are like dogs, and the methods are rigid.
All cultivators in the world are born with their entire destiny predetermined.
Even the Legalist School most revered the law, found it difficult to tolerate.
He would never allow such an era to return.
Even the Hundred Schools wouldn't allow it.
When he opened his eyes, all the complex emotions in Zou Heng's eyes had vanished, leaving only a cold and clear expression.
He slowly clenched his fist in his sleeve and muttered to himself.
"Even the most difficult times, I have overcome them."
"This golden age of Hundred Schools can never be destroyed by anyone."
"This time, with the combined efforts of Hundred Schools, even those blessed by the Dragon Fate have no chance to take advantage!"
"Get lost."
" Eastern Extremity Prefecture can be renamed."
The last two sentences were spoken to Dongfang Ce.
Two sentences decided the fate of the Dongfang Household.
It determines the future of a Lineage.
The Dongfang Household may still exist in the Central Continent, but they will never again have the power they have today.
Dongfang Ce's face was ashen.
They were led out of the Yin-Yang Celestial Pivot Palace in a daze.
Zou Heng never looked at him again.
Right now, his only focus is on the Western Continent.
Standing before the map.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly, his voice as cold as iron.
"Inviting Hundred Schools, a wicked man has emerged from the Western Continent, usurping the title of supreme ruler, Dragon Qi, and disrupting the seasons."
"Now, in the name of Hundred Schools in the Central Continent, we unite to punish this barbarian and restore order to the world."
