It's only a matter of time before a great ruler emerges in the Central Continent.
Moreover, the one who comes is definitely not an ordinary Venerable.
If they really knew that even the Perfected Dao Integration Realm had fallen after the small Western Continent.
That will inevitably happen.
By then, even with Yinyang Qingfan's fighting prowess, they will find it difficult to withstand.
Dao Court and Lu Li are about to face a true crisis.
It would be a lie to say I don't feel a sense of urgency.
Lu Li currently only at the Middle Spirit Transformation.
One cannot even withstand the challenge of reaching the Dao Integration, let alone attain the position of Venerable.
Right now, his only option is to improve himself to the maximum extent possible within the limited time available.
They tried every means to improve their own strength and that of the Dao Court.
In case of future troubles, when a ruler emerges in the Central Continent, he will be able to handle the situation.
There was just one thing that Lu Li couldn't understand.
Or rather, it puzzled Lu Li.
"Is there such a deep grudge?"
"Even if I seize the Yin-Yang School's millennia-long plan, is it worth sacrificing a Venerable's hope of ascension for a cultivator's long life?"
"It could even prevent their clan from producing a Venerable for ten thousand years, and even prevent their bloodline from ascending to immortality thereafter."
"Such a huge price to pay just because I proved my Dragon Fate?"
Other factions were even willing to risk being drawn by lot to participate...
Lu Li silent.
He actually had some suspicions in his mind.
Such was the reaction from various schools of thought in the Central Continent.
It made him feel that the other person didn't seem to want to kill him, but rather... was afraid!
That's right, it's fear.
However, what's truly frightening isn't him, but rather the potential meaning behind his Fate Pattern.
Lu Li didn't know the specifics.
He raised his head, looked at Yinyang Qingfan, and threw the question back at him.
"What are your thoughts on the reaction of the elders of the Central Continent?"
"I..."
Yinyang Qingfan pondered softly.
Her attitude towards Lu Li had already undergone a subtle change.
Deep down, she knew that Lu Li was definitely connected to the Upper Realm.
One can glean some insight from his Divine Ability.
That was someone even she had to look up to.
But Lu Li's behavior seemed very strange.
Yinyang Qingfan could only conclude that Lu Li was someone who had lost his former wisdom.
This is not surprising.
It is rumored that a powerful being is plotting against all ages, and in order to achieve his goal, he will seal away past wisdom, sever karmic ties, and cut off all origins.
Lu Li's performance perfectly matched all of these.
As for the reactions of the various schools in the Central Continent, Yinyang Qingfan seems to know more about them.
"In Jiangxue Xue's memory, there was a record of a dynasty here ten thousand years ago, called the Great Jin."
"After being destroyed, the Hundred Schools of the Eastern Desolation Star claimed to have overthrown the Demonic Jin."
"But in my guess, such a powerful force must have been destroyed by people from other planets."
"The strong reaction from the various factions in the Central Continent is perhaps because they are worried..."
What are you worried about?
"Perhaps the Dao Lord's Fate Pattern will once again bring about such a calamity."
"Of course, or perhaps they're also afraid of being discovered again."
Yinyang Qingfan explained it simply and clearly.
With her discerning eye, she could roughly guess what was going on.
In the lower realms, Dragon Fate are not actually favored or loved by cultivators.
This kind of Fate Pattern often brings rules, strictness, and rule.
This is completely opposite to what spiritual practitioners do.
It's like the conflict between a mortal dynasty and a chivalrous knight-errant.
The reason why the Great Jin Dynasty collapsed ten thousand years ago must be because its Dragon Fate had threatened some existence in this world.
That's why it was destroyed in a single day.
Now, on this Eastern Desolation Star, the various families of the Central Continent simply believe that Lu Li has proven his Dragon Fate.
This reaction is most likely due to this reason.
But what they didn't know was that Lu Li didn't have the Dragon Fate.
He is the true Emperor Fate!
It is an extremely special existence even in the vast and upper realms.
In contrast to the Middle Thousand, the cultivators of the Middle Thousand abhor the Dragon Fate, while those of the Upper Thousand revere the Emperor Fate.
When an Emperor Fate decree is issued, the entire world will be affected.
This explains why Yinyang Qingfan was so surprised when he saw that Lu Li had signs of being destined for the Emperor Fate.
"Worry..."
You're right.
Lu Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly thought of something.
A strange light flickered in his eyes.
Yes, he had thought about this question before.
What Yinyang Qingfan guessed, he could also guess some of.
Previously, they had always considered potential future disasters that might befall the Great Jin Dynasty as hypothetical enemies.
But if it truly comes to the point where a supreme being emerges in the Central Continent, there will be no way to resist.
This disaster may not be solely his fault.
"Call..."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li already had a last resort plan in mind.
He silently connected the jade pendant.
A simple request was made.
"We urge the nation to attempt research into deep-space signal transmission."
Any message Lu Li sends back is, in a sense, a strategic direction for Great Xia.
The moment the request was received.
The Bureau 749 and its headquarters almost immediately formed a targeted research team.
The original seven research institutes, plus the newly added Spirit Descent Research Institute, instantly formed a research team of eight research institutes.
Organize personnel from the deep space fleet that was already in the planning stages.
The project was approved quickly.
Simulation study.
Then comes the development of basic materials and the construction of experimental sites.
Everything happened across the entire Blue Star within 24 hours.
It occurred within the twelve major regions of the Great Xia.
A global effort was launched solely to resolve the issue raised by Lu Li.
Meanwhile, the entire Great Xia was working efficiently to process Lu Li send back the latest spiritual materials.
When conducting multiple studies simultaneously.
The French warship where Lu Li is located has already arrived at the Western Sea Dragon Palace!
"Is this the location of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm?"
A sixth-tier Void Breaking Grade magic ship was anchored in the deep sea.
Below is the ruins of the sea.
The pavilions and towers were all empty, but there were no living creatures in them.
It's clear that this place was once very prosperous.
Due to the crushing defeat of the Western Sea Allied Forces, they had already fallen into obscurity.
The French warship hovered silently in place, with a dozen or so Void Return and numerous high-ranking officials of the Dao Court lined up on both sides of the deck.
Lu Li stood at the bow of the ship, followed by Yinyang Qingfan.
He surveyed his surroundings.
Lu Li frowned slightly.
Within his Divine Sense probe, he detected no trace of the entrance to the secret realm.
Could it really be as these Sea Race creatures say?
Is the Dragon Palace Secret Realm only accessible from the inside, and powerful outsiders are forbidden from entering?
" Yinyang Qingfan, do you know what this Dragon Palace Secret Realm truly is?"
"This... I don't know either, but I did perform a soul search when I killed that Dao Integration Sea Beast."
"Legend Endless Sea —east, west, south, north, and south—only the Western Sea Dragon Manor possesses Dragon Palace Secret Realm."
"During the great war between the four seas, the three Dragon Kings of the seas all came to this place, but the Dragon King of the Western Sea escaped using a secret realm."
"This shows that the Dragon Palace Secret Realm is indeed quite special."
Yinyang Qingfan is knowledgeable and well-informed.
But she had never seen what this Dragon Palace Secret Realm actually contained.
It is impossible to judge.
There isn't even an entrance to the secret realm yet, let alone any way to break through it.
How can we attack if we can't even find the door?
Upon hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but frown.
Are we really going to send someone to guard this place indefinitely?
Who knows when this Dragon Palace Secret Realm will open? What if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years?
Wouldn't that be a complete waste?
But there's nothing he can do right now; he has no choice but to wait, even if he doesn't want to.
Who knows when it will be able to restart?
Shaking his head, Lu Li lost interest.
They intended to order a search, but finding nothing amiss, they planned to turn back.
But then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of light.
Immediately afterwards, a brilliant light shone forth!
A faint dragon's might illuminated everyone's eyes...
