The development of the Eastern Wasteland cannot be slow.
But we can't rush it either.
The task of organizing and coordinating tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of cultivators cannot be accomplished by a few Mahayana alone.
A complete system and a hierarchically differentiated central authority are necessary.
The role of the Mahayana Venerable in this matter was merely to suppress it.
In the Battle of the Central Continent, all ten major families perished.
Mahayana still exists in the Central Continent, has almost completely disappeared.
Although it cannot be ruled out that there may still be hermits practicing cultivation in the deep mountains and forests.
However, on the surface, the Dao Court's Mahayana has already achieved dominance.
The four Mahayana masters each performed their duties, taking the lead in stabilizing the Hundred Schools in the Central Continent Plains.
While overwhelming all the cultivators, the Dao Court's million-strong army and the elite troops of various departments no longer concealed themselves.
They began to focus all their efforts on unifying the four states, and even set out towards the Central Continent.
The entire Eastern Wasteland seemed to sprang into action in that instant.
From this moment until thirty years from now.
The Eastern Wasteland never stopped...
Thirty years is both a long and a short time.
For Qi Refinement cultivator, thirty years is almost a third of their life.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, thirty years is crucial to whether they can make further progress.
For those at the Golden Core Nascent Soul, this might simply be a period of seclusion.
Then apply it to cultivators at the stages of Spirit Transformation, Void Return, and even Dao Integration Tribulation Transcendence.
Thirty years is, in theory, nothing more than the blink of an eye.
Ye Chenfeng clearly remembered that he had been in this place called Awakening of Insects Continent for thirty years.
Over a period of thirty years, he fought nine battles, each involving a different enemy.
His nine victories not only freed him from slavery.
He became a guard in the Ji Household's Combat Hall and successfully broke through to the Void Return.
The speed was astonishing.
Logically speaking, his talent already suggests something fishy.
Anyone who sees this will surely be tempted.
But this is the Awakening of Insects Continent, the home of the Ji Household.
What's abundant here is talent.
Ye Chenfeng's amazing talent was only among the lower-level cultivators.
For the Ji Household, such a stunning prodigy was nothing more than another useful servant in the clan.
"Guard Ye! Guard Ye!"
"Your shift ends quite early today, why don't you come to my cave abode for a while?"
"I went to great lengths to invite that Ji Household today."
"If Guard Ye is extremely lucky, he might just have a chance to have a romantic relationship with this concubine's daughter today!"
On the Awakening of Insects Continent, outside the Ji Household's Combat Hall.
Ye Chenfeng, dressed in a sword robe, had just stepped out of the palace.
A warm voice came from behind.
Listen to what the person behind me is saying.
Ye Chenfeng didn't linger, only replying indifferently.
"No, I have something to do."
After saying that, Ye Chenfeng's voice disappeared in front of the hall.
Several cultivators followed and stepped out from behind.
Watching his retreating figure, her tone slightly resentful.
"What an oddball! If it weren't for his exceptional talent, why would we bother going to all this trouble to befriend him?"
"Exactly, could this person be deliberately looking down on us because he's hoping to eventually join the Ji Household?"
"Hmph! Joining the Ji Household? What are you thinking? It would be difficult enough if you could even gain the favor of one of the Ji Household's illegitimate sons."
"Given his personality, don't even think about it!"
"..."
The cultivators were abuzz with discussion.
The sound was piercing and carried by the wind.
Ye Chenfeng ignored the discussions in his mind.
The ground beneath our feet receded rapidly.
Giant ships, streaks of light, frequently appear and disappear in the sky.
Thirty years after arriving on this continent, Ye Chenfeng finally had a general idea of where he was.
Only then did he realize how far he was from the Eastern Wasteland.
" Jichen Star Domain, Awakening of Insects Continent, Ji Household..."
"This place is so far away from the Eastern Wasteland, yet I somehow managed to arrive in this starry sky back then."
"This means that there is a formation connecting the Eastern Wasteland to this starry sky."
On the way back to his cave abode, Ye Chenfeng's thoughts began to wander.
For the past thirty years, he has been thinking every day about how to get back to the Eastern Wasteland.
How can we get back to the Dao Court?
But besides figuring out the distribution of various forces in the Jichen Star Domain, he also...
There were no other clues.
Even now, he still can't figure out what Suanni touched back then.
That's why he was teleported here.
"According to the Suanni, it accidentally touched something resembling a teleportation array back then."
"This formation is set up halfway in the Eastern Wasteland and the other half within the star regions radiated by the two continents of the Ji Household."
"Although I don't know why the Ji Household possesses this secret formation."
"But... if I want to return to the Eastern Wasteland, I'm afraid I'll still need to rely on this teleportation array."
Ye Chenfeng has learned a great deal about the existence of teleportation arrays over the years.
Starry Sky Transmission Array is extremely common in the Ji Household.
The continents of Dark Radiance and Awakening of Insects are extremely vast.
Without the transmission array, cultivators on the continent would find it difficult to traverse the vast lands.
Not to mention, there are many guardian stars outside the two continents.
The larger stars are also connected by teleportation arrays.
Ye Chenfeng has also taken the teleportation array several times over the years.
Based on his observations and understanding.
Places where transmission arrays can be built are generally very important locations.
Or a crucial transit point.
But the Eastern Wasteland...
"There are very few records about the Eastern Wasteland within the various halls of the Ji Household."
"It only mentioned a few words, saying that this star was once considered one of the four stars and two continents, but later suffered disaster and declined..."
"But if they've already lost, why is there still a teleportation array directly connecting to the Ji Household's territory?"
"Could there be some shady dealings involved?"
Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss.
He always felt that the Ji Household had very few records about the Eastern Wasteland.
It even carries a clear sense of taboo.
This deepened his doubts.
As I pondered this, the entrance to a fairly spacious cave abode came into view in the distance.
The cave abode is built against the mountain, surrounded by beautiful green hills and clear waters.
There is also a platform several tens of meters in size at the entrance of the cave.
And at this moment, right above the platform at the cave entrance.
A lion-tiger Demon Beast, no more than a few meters long, was lying there contentedly.
Dozing off lazily.
He seemed completely oblivious to Ye Chenfeng's gaze.
"Snort!"
"You're sleeping so soundly!"
Ye Chenfeng flashed to the cave entrance and looked at the Suanni lion lying on the platform.
A complex look appeared in his eyes.
Over the years, he and the Suanni have gone from enemies to friends.
The two humans, one demon, and one human became rare friends and fellow countrymen on this alien planet.
Hearing Ye Chenfeng's voice.
The Suanni raised its eyelids slightly and yawned.
His tone was utterly listless.
"What else can we do but sleep? We barely survived that Ji Household's Combat Hall."
"Since we can't go back to the Eastern Wasteland, all we can do is sleep."
The Suanni, on the other hand, seemed cheerful, its tone showing no trace of worry.
It seems they've long been accustomed to this kind of life.
Ye Chenfeng wasn't as calm as it was; he still wanted to know how to reactivate that teleportation array.
" Old Ni, do you still remember the approximate location of the teleportation array when we first arrived in this starry sky?"
"Directions? I've completely forgotten."
The Suanni rolled over and stood up unsteadily.
This extinguished Ye Chenfeng's hopes.
Then, it walked into the cave abode, but when it reached cave abode entrance, it suddenly stopped.
He paused slightly.
I'm going to the Ji Household's Beast Hall tomorrow.
"Go to the Beast Hall? Why go there? Aren't you a guard of my Combat Hall now?"
"I... need to take care of some things. Anyway, if things go smoothly, I might be able to find out the location of that teleportation array..."
