"No... that's not right!!!"
"How is that possible!"
"How... how could there be such strong Yin-Yang Qi in this Savage Wilderness land of the Western Continent!"
The moment the tortoise shell shattered.
The gaunt old man cried out in horror.
It was as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
The boy with the folding fan standing to the side was stunned. He had never seen his great-uncle in such a state before.
Especially after leaving Central Continent.
Logically speaking, all the fortune and cultivation of the Eastern Wasteland should be concentrated in the Central Continent Plains.
The four provinces beyond the borders are nothing but barbarian lands.
Even if some powerful demons and old monsters can cultivate to the realm of Dao Integration Tribulation Transcendence, they are still exceptions.
The highest level of cultivation for humans is the Return to Void Return.
Even those Dao Integration are extremely rare.
Yet, this desolate place could surprise his great-uncle so much.
Zou Yu simply couldn't imagine it.
"Grand Uncle, what exactly happened?"
" The Yin-Yang Qi? Could it be the Dongfang Household woman from ten thousand years ago, whom the Third Ancestor spoke of when we left the clan?"
"What, does this woman now belong to the same camp as the Lord of the Dao Court?"
Zou Yu's mind raced.
He quickly recalled that when he and his great-uncle left home, their third ancestor had told them many things.
This includes the Dongfang Jiangxue.
If there is any Yin-Yang Qi left in the entire Western Continent, this woman is probably the most likely candidate.
"Impossible!"
But to everyone's surprise, Zou Yu had barely finished speaking when...
He was then firmly interrupted by the gaunt old man.
His tone was full of surprise and shock.
"Absolutely impossible! How could that Dongfang Household girl possibly cultivate such powerful Yin-Yang Qi?"
"They're almost on par with the Three Ancestors, how could it be her!"
"It must be someone else entirely, but who could it be...?"
The gaunt old man refused to believe it and couldn't fathom the truth.
His expression kept changing, and for a moment he didn't know how to handle it.
Just as they were hesitating...
He seemed to sense something within his Divine Sense.
He suddenly let out a muffled groan.
His expression immediately changed drastically.
"Oh no! This person has spotted me!"
"Hurry up!"
Zou Yu hadn't reacted yet.
The gaunt old man suddenly summoned two black and white copper coins.
As the copper coin flashed brightly, the two figures vanished.
Meanwhile, at the location of the Dao Court's residence.
Yinyang Qingfan stood on the deck of a sixth-tier Void Breaking Grade magic ship.
His brow furrowed.
" Dao Lord, the Yin-Yang School has arrived."
"His aura seems to be at the Perfected Dao Integration, and he even used what appears to be a Yin-Yang School secret treasure. He has already slipped out of the allied forces' territory ahead."
Yinyang Qingfan respectfully reported his feelings to Lu Li in front of him.
As the ancestor of the Yin-Yang School from countless generations ago, she was extremely sensitive to the Yin-Yang Qi.
She noticed the moment the other person started divining for her.
If it weren't for the distance, she could have directly sketched out the person's exact appearance and features.
" Yin-Yang School?"
Hearing what Yinyang Qingfan said.
Lu Li, of course, had no idea what had just happened.
Although he was strong in combat, his cultivation level was ultimately only at the Spirit Transformation.
Neither Divine Sense nor the Secret Method methods of detection were particularly mysterious or extraordinary.
In particular, they are naturally unaware of such Yin-Yang School Secret Method.
What puzzled him was...
"Isn't it said that the Central Continent, to completely Imprisoned Dragon Middle Thousand World's qi, has erected the Mystic Firmament Heavenly Wall, prohibiting anyone from leaving without permission?"
How did these Yin-Yang School people come about?
Lu Li asked the key question.
Central Continent remains a significant threat to him at present.
Each school has its own leaders, and one Yinyang Qingfan Duan alone is no match for them.
Previously, Lu Li had the time and opportunity to grow because he was unable to leave Central Continent due to the Central Continent cultivation.
But now, a cultivator from the Central Continent has actually appeared in the Western Continent.
This inevitably made him wary.
" Dao Lord, please calm down. While the Central Continent possesses a natural barrier that separates itself from the Central Plains, it is not entirely without a way to cross it."
" Jiangxue's memories are detailed: the various families of the Central Continent set up a Heavenly Wall to sever their own ties and cut off the Qi of the Imprisoned Dragon Middle Thousand World."
"All the families involved in the refining process have prepared backup plans. As long as a sufficient price is paid, they can cross the boundary wall and travel to various parts of the Eastern Wasteland."
Yinyang Qingfan gave a detailed explanation.
That's clear.
The price paid by the cultivators of the Central Continent for wanting to leave Central Continent was not small.
This price is not the price of external things, much less the price of resources.
Rather, whoever resorts to such methods will have their Lineage bloodline tainted to some extent by the aura of the Imprisoned Dragon Middle Thousand World when passing through the crack in the Heavenly Wall.
From now on, let alone ascension, even breaking through cultivation realms will be difficult.
Furthermore, the stronger the person sent out, the greater the price.
Even according to Yinyang Qingfan's speculation.
If any family wishes to send off a Venerable one.
That family must be prepared to accept the possibility that no Venerable will emerge for ten thousand years, and that their bloodline will be unable to ascend thereafter.
After all, the cultivation of Venerable is already extremely close to that of an immortal.
Sending away such a being would certainly come at a huge cost.
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
The Venerable's departure from the Central Continent comes at such a high price that the elders of the Central Continent would never attempt it lightly.
It's estimated that Dao Integration is already their limit.
" Perfected Dao Integration... Can you catch up?"
"Difficult. This person has stirred the energy of Yin-Yang School secret treasure. If he doesn't deliberately reveal it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to track him down."
"Well, then let it be. War is about to begin; let's deal with the immediate situation first."
Seeing that they could not capture the cultivator from the Central Continent.
Lu Li wasn't stubborn.
The Great War of the Western Sea is about to begin. After this war, the Endless Western Sea will be taken over by the Litian Dao Court.
We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes at this critical juncture.
Although the cultivators from the Central Continent are a hidden threat, with Yinyang Qingfan present, they should not dare to show themselves and cause trouble in the short term.
The most important thing is to take advantage of this time to quickly pacify the Western Sea.
"Go, prepare. Scouts have reported that a powerful demon at the Dao Integration level is lurking within the Western Sea Allied Forces."
"At that time, you will still need to be in charge of this demon."
"Hmm... Demons that Dao Integration can be judged by their life or death, but their flesh and blood must not be wasted."
He carefully gave Yinyang Qingfan a few words of instruction.
Lu Li waved his hand, signaling him to be on guard.
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be the day the two armies clash.
This was also the first major battle of this scale since the Dao Court.
The combined forces of both sides numbered nearly six million.
Whether in terms of numbers, or the combat strength at the grassroots level, or even the core and high-level combat strength, it is more terrifying than the Prefecture-Breaking War back then.
The intensity was exceptionally high, a level rarely seen.
Even Lu Li was somewhat unsettled.
During the Prefecture-Breaking War, although the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy fought countless battles, he single-handedly recruited a million demons.
But the power of the Demon Manor back then was nothing compared to what it is today.
The Spirit Transformation beings are all enormous, numbering in the thousands, in this sea area.
The Void Return Demon Beast was rapidly approaching his combat power limit.
Such a large-scale, high-intensity cultivation war is rare in the world.
Although Lu Li's emotions were fluctuating, he was not afraid.
Instead, a slightly strange thought arose within me.
"Millions of Sea Race Demon Beast, such a battle."
"After this battle... how much Blood Qi will the fish-shaped jade pendant have absorbed?"
