Originally the territory of the Ink Octopus Clan, now the Western Sea Prefecture City.
After being established as the center of cultivation for the entire Western Sea Prefecture by the Dao Court, this place became the center of cultivation for the entire Western Sea Prefecture.
The entire territory of the Ink Octopus Clan underwent a radical transformation.
A colossal underwater city rises from the ground.
The original territory of the Ink Octopus Clan has now completely lost its former appearance.
The city wall was carved from a single piece of seabed basalt.
Runes, like veins, were densely distributed throughout, shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
The buildings in the city are of varying heights, with coral as roof tiles and shells as windows.
Sea Race that have not yet fully transformed can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
A vendor with a human head and a crab's body was hawking his wares.
A cultivator resembling a semi-transparent jellyfish floated by.
There were also three or five siren-like cubs chasing and playing, their scales shimmering like stars in the spiritual light.
In the city center, a nine-story tower stretches straight into the sea.
The sacred pearl atop the tower, like the moon, illuminates the hundred-mile stretch of sea.
As the Western Sea Prefecture City, this colossal city's grandeur is awe-inspiring.
But what was even more terrifying than the giant city at this moment were the dozens of figures hovering above it.
"Reporting to the Dao Lord, all forty Void Return Sea Race in the Western Sea Prefecture have assembled."
"In addition, fifteen people from the Eastern Continent surrendered and Void Return."
"Including the remaining cultivators, all fifty-seven Void Return have arrived!"
Having removed his dragon robe Ao Li stood before these figures.
He shouted loudly at the figure in the blue robe at the front.
Nearly sixty cultivators who Void Return, including many who Void Return Great Perfection.
Such combat power would have been enough to sweep aside the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture and the Pacify the West Prince's Palace a hundred years ago.
Today, the Dao Court has finally completed its high-end combat force.
With such a large base of high-end power, it is definitely a transcendent force on the Eastern Desolation Star, second only to the Central Continent!
They heard Ao Li's shouts.
Lu Li slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators behind him.
After returning from the Endless Sea Trench, he wasted no time and went straight to this place.
The goal was to capture the most outstanding talents in each state as quickly as possible, and then send troops to the four states to directly control the four states of east, west, south, and north.
The team he has now formed is the foundation of his confidence in ruling the four states.
With so many cultivators at the Void Return, the four states will inevitably be governed by the Dao Court into a unified whole.
The conquest of four provinces is finally about to be realized!
Thinking of this, Lu Li calculated the time and looked at Yinyang Qingfan beside him.
Has Zou Moshan not returned yet?
"Not yet, this person..."
Yinyang Qingfan was just about to respond to Lu Li.
But then he suddenly realized something.
His eyes flickered slightly, then he changed his tune.
" Dao Lord, you're back."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The void in front of him suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a hunched figure with white hair and beard appeared on the spot.
This was none other than Zou Moshan, whom Lu Li mentioned.
There was no one else beside him.
Clearly, he came back alone.
Zou Moshan looked at Yinyang Qingfan and Lu Li in the distance, a trace of fear and shyness appearing on his old face.
They seemed to feel somewhat ashamed.
" Dao Lord, I... I am incompetent. That prodigy from the Eastern Continent seems to have already left the Western Sea..."
"The distance is too far; my subordinates cannot locate the other party."
"Please punish me Dao Lord!"
As Zou Moshan spoke, he clasped his hands in a deep fist salute to Lu Li.
He looked resigned to his fate.
He, a Perfected Dao Integration stage, was unable to divine the location of a Void Return cultivator.
Coming back empty-handed is utterly shameful.
In such a setting, the entire high-ranking combat force of the Dao Court is present.
This makes his Great Perfection of Dao Integration seem utterly useless.
Lu Li, however, did not blame the other party too much.
The fact that he managed to escape shows that he has some skill.
In that case, let's focus on dealing with the immediate issues first.
Lu Li waved his hand, deciding not to waste any more time.
"You're back just in time. If you didn't find it, you didn't find it."
"Anyway, after capturing these prodigies from each state, our Dao Court will then take control of the four states."
"We can conduct a more thorough search later. Let's rejoin the team."
Lu Li gave his approval.
Zou Moshan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
He then stood at the Perfected Person.
Thus, there were fifty-seven Void Return, one Perfected Dao Integration, and Yinyang Qingfan, who possessed the combat power of Venerable.
And Lu Li, who successfully broke through to the Void Return realm.
The entire Dao Court's top combat force has been assembled here.
He took a deep breath and glanced at everyone.
Lu Li's voice was cold and clear. "Let's go!"
On his journey back to the Western Continent, Lu Li captured the most outstanding talents from various states without bringing anyone with him.
Changming, Changye, and the others were left behind in the Endless Western Sea to assist various departments in accelerating the reorganization of the Western Sea Prefecture.
After all, once the prodigies of each state are captured, the Dao Court will inevitably send troops to the four states.
That was a much more complex and massive undertaking.
The Dao Court must begin preparations now.
The Eleven Departments and the Changming Changye should begin their work now.
Lu Li only brought this group of high-end combatants with him.
The sight of nearly sixty Void Return simultaneously Void Breaking and returning to Emptiness is extremely rare.
As one after another, cultivators who Void Return Void Breaking.
It summons the void, as if stepping into a water mirror in the sky.
Ripples spread outwards.
It's truly spectacular.
The group quickly left...
Several days later.
Gu Yuan, along with Bing Wuhen and the others, had already arrived above Litian Prefecture City.
In fact, they had arrived in Litian Prefecture City three days earlier.
However, he has been secretly observing the developments in the city for the past few days and has not taken any action.
To be honest, neither Gu Yuan nor Bing Wuhen had ever seen such a strange city.
I've never seen such a prosperous city for cultivation.
The city was full of magical inspiration; even the lighting fixtures had Talisman Inscription embedded in them.
The entire city resembled a gigantic magical Law Artifact.
The precise operation made them hesitant to act rashly for a moment.
"Young Master, the power established by this person Dragon Fate is extremely strange."
"Not only are cultivators and mortals living together in the city, but mortals are even involved in cultivation matters."
"I see hundreds of thousands of mortals leaving their homes every morning and entering various cultivation shops."
"They might participate in crafting various Law Artifact artifacts or components, or identify spirit medicine and prepare medicinal pills."
"Even mortals dare to interfere in the affairs of cultivators like myself? This is utterly absurd!"
An elder of the Gu Clan clearly disapproved of the changes within Litian Prefecture City.
In his view, mortals were merely food for the flesh.
Mortals are born to serve monks.
Even the mortals in his clan exist solely to support the cultivators within their clan.
But now, this land of the Western Continent is supporting tens or even hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
Not only were they allowed to meddle in matters of cultivation, but they were also treated as if they were of the same status and position as cultivators.
Both sides treated each other with the utmost courtesy.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
If everyone were like this city, what would be the point of them being special cultivators?
The names of immortal masters, which are often recited by mortals, will probably disappear in a few years!
"No wonder the elders of the Central Continent so despise this person Dragon Fate."
"If this Dragon Fate truly grows up and possesses the power of the Great Jin Dynasty, wouldn't it turn the entire Eastern Wasteland into this state!"
"This... is even more despicable than the Great Jin back then!"
" Devil Cultivator! What Litian Dao Court? I think it's more like the Litian Devil Court!"
"Where are we cultivators supposed to be placed?!"
The elder grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, eventually losing all his temper.
I plan to take direct action.
"Young Master, please step back. Let me test the cultivation level of that person destined for the Dragon Fate!"
Having said that, he didn't waste any more words.
With a raised hand Hand Seals, he immediately unleashed Gu Clan technique at the Void Return level.
A streak of green light suddenly appeared in the sky, transforming into a gigantic phantom of a Gu worm, and charged violently towards the city below...
