Ch. 626Which Great Thousand Realm Was the Military School's Ancestor In?

Lu Li used the White Bone Sarira’s Supreme’s strike to kill Bing Wuji, then seized the token that had protected the Military School and ordered its remaining Mahayana cultivators killed. While studying Bing Wuji’s treasures, he discovered a Pseudo-Immortal Artifact bearing Immortal Inscriptions and sought to learn which Great Thousand Immortal Realm the Military School’s ancestor had entered.

Ch. 628Thirty years, thirty years to reshape the Eastern Wasteland!

Lu Li opened the Military School’s ancestral treasury, claimed a rare Venerable Ascension Pill, and set out a thirty-year plan to unite the Eastern Wasteland and expand the Dao Court. He dispatched his subordinates to organize and survey the Central Continent while Great Xia prepared a development plan for the region.

Ch. 629Why Did the Ji Household and the Eastern Wasteland Have This Teleportation Array?

Thirty years after being stranded on the Awakening of Insects Continent, Ye Chenfeng had become a Void Return guard in the Ji Household's Combat Hall but still sought a way back to the Eastern Wasteland. He suspected the Ji Household was concealing information about the teleportation array that brought him there, and Suanni revealed it might visit the Beast Hall to investigate.

  • After the Dao Court began administering the Eastern Wasteland and Central Continent, thirty years passed as Ye Chenfeng fought nine battles, won his freedom, and advanced to Void Return in the Ji Household's Combat Hall.
  • Ye Chenfeng rejected fellow cultivators' invitation and reflected on how he had been transported from the Eastern Wasteland to the Jichen Star Domain.
  • He reasoned that a teleportation array connected the Eastern Wasteland to the Ji Household's territory and wondered why the Ji Household's records about the Eastern Wasteland were so sparse.
  • Ye Chenfeng asked Suanni where the array had been, but Suanni said it had forgotten.
  • Suanni told Ye Chenfeng it would go to the Ji Household's Beast Hall the next day and suggested the trip might help reveal the array's location.

Ch. 630Dimwit... This beast's bloodline truly was extraordinary!

Suanni secretly met a woman in the Beast Hall and agreed to provide her with what she wanted in exchange for a reward. The woman was Ji Qingyang, who returned to her hall and activated a concealment formation as her two chained Mahayana Demon Venerables watched in fear.

  • Suanni descended into the Beast Hall and entered a hidden passage to meet a woman behind a concealed door.
  • The woman gave Suanni a glazed bottle and ordered him to return the next day; he protested that they had agreed to exchange payment and goods together.
  • After Suanni left, the black-robed woman revealed herself as Ji Qingyang and reflected that she could not freely use him because he was a registered Combat Hall guard.
  • Ji Qingyang returned to her cave abode, where two Mahayana Demon Venerables were chained as watchdogs.
  • Ji Qingyang activated a concealment formation, entered it, and screams rang out inside.

Ch. 631Four branches, eight lineages, twelve halls!

Ji Qingyang examined her stitched-together Demon Beasts and planned to breed a creature with powerful bloodlines by implanting four beast seeds in a flood dragon’s womb. News that the Dao Child was convening a Ji Household Minor Gathering spread through the household, drawing Ye Chenfeng into security preparations while he wondered why Suanni seemed dispirited.

  • Ji Qingyang studied her bound, mutilated Demon Beasts and concluded that gestation might fuse bloodlines better than stitching them together.
  • Ji Qingyang prepared seeds from an evil tiger, a spirit sparrow, a demonic tortoise, and Suanni to place in a flood dragon’s womb.
  • Ji Qingyang received word that the Dao Child was convening a lineage gathering, an event that would shape the next generation’s power and resources.
  • The Ji Household began preparations, and Ye Chenfeng was ordered to lead guards on patrol outside the Heaven-Shrouding Palace.

Ch. 632Until I become a Supreme, I will never return!

Ye Chenfeng and Suanni took part in the grand guard formation around the Ji Household’s Heaven-Shrouding Palace, where the clan’s power awed them. After Elder Jian urged Ye Chenfeng to grow strong enough to support the Dao Court, Ye Chenfeng vowed not to return until he became a Supreme, just as a Supreme’s summons rang out.

  • Ye Chenfeng and Suanni joined the silver-armored guards forming an honor guard around the Heaven-Shrouding Palace for the Ji Household assembly.
  • Suanni observed that the Ji Household’s flood dragons had all reached perfected Dao Integration and resolved to leave as soon as he could complete his business and obtain a star chart.
  • Ye Chenfeng wondered whether the Ji Household had immortals, while Elder Jian compared its splendor to the legendary Heavenly Court and called it a great opportunity for cultivation.
  • Elder Jian reminded Ye Chenfeng that he was no longer strong enough to protect the Dao Court, so Ye Chenfeng resolved to temper himself and become a Supreme before returning.
  • A commanding voice ordered the cultivators of the four houses and eight branches into the palace, and Ye Chenfeng and the guards recognized that a Supreme had spoken.

Ch. 633This man probably... had formidable means at his disposal!

Ye Chenfeng watched the Ji Household’s talented Qing-generation cultivators gather for the Minor Gathering and awaited its Dao Child, Ji Shanhai. Ji Shanhai noticed Ye Chenfeng and ordered that the silver-armored guard be assigned to his personal guard, while Elder Jian realized someone had discovered him again.

  • A Supreme appeared to preside over the Ji Household Minor Gathering, startling Ye Chenfeng and Elder Jian.
  • Ji Household heaven’s chosen arrived, and Ye Chenfeng learned that even its outstanding Qing-generation cultivators had failed to become Dao Child.

Ch. 634Junior Brother Ye, where exactly are you...

Ye Chenfeng received a token ordering him to join the Ji Household Dao Scion’s personal guard, while Lu Li continued to search for him after thirty years of ruling the Eastern Wasteland. With his search still fruitless, Lu Li prepared to leave for the Starry Sky Immortal Market and displayed his second Primordial Spirit and spirit fish.

  • Elder Jian realized the Ji Household Dao Scion had noticed him, and Ye Chenfeng accepted a token appointing him to the Dao Scion’s personal guard.
  • Ye Chenfeng wondered whether he would ever see Senior Brother Lu again and feared their farewell in the Eastern Wasteland had been their last.
  • Lu Li learned from Primordial Beginning that the Dao Court still had no news of Ye Chenfeng after thirty years of searching.
  • Lu Li told Primordial Beginning to oversee the Dao Court and maintain intelligence at Twin Star Ferry before departing for the Starry Sky Immortal Market.
  • Lu Li summoned his second Primordial Spirit and reflected on his pseudo-immortal foundation and the fish-shaped jade pendant.
  • The spirit fish emerged before Lu Li and called him master.

Ch. 635Off to Farm the Entire Endless Deep Trench!

Lu Li set out with his followers to farm the Endless Deep Trench, using his Spirit Artifact pendant to extract valuable Dao Laws Crystals from demon beasts. He reached the trench with four Mahayana cultivators and planned to clear every trench in the Eastern Wasteland before heading into the starry sky.

  • The fish-shaped jade pendant produced two Dao Laws Crystals, which Lu Li absorbed to strengthen his Dao Laws.
  • Lu Li gathered Yinyang Qingfan, Bone Jia, Bone Evil, Zou Heng, and his other followers, announcing that they would clear the Eastern Wasteland before venturing into the starry sky.

  • A guard captain told Lu Li that the trench lay eight hundred li ahead and a thousand li beneath the sea.

  • With four Mahayana cultivators accompanying him, Lu Li ordered the group to farm the entire Endless Deep Trench.

Ch. 636Hmm? Why has a human Mahayana come to my waters?

Lu Li entered the Endless Deep Trench with his four Venerables to hunt sea beasts and harvest Dao Laws Crystals. After using Dragon Qi to draw out a Demon Venerable, his companions surrounded it, leaving its fate sealed.

  • Lu Li traveled to the Endless Deep Trench, planning to use its powerful sea beasts to strengthen himself and obtain Dao Laws Crystals.
  • Bone Jia reported that Demon Venerables were territorial, so Lu Li ordered Zou Heng to lure them out while Bone Evil concealed himself for an ambush.
  • Zou Heng and the others hunted Dao Integration and Tribulation Transcendence sea beasts, and Lu Li refined the Dao Laws Crystals produced by the jade pendant.
  • When no Demon Venerable appeared, Lu Li released a trace of Dragon Qi, attracting a Demon Venerable from the trench’s depths.
  • The Demon Venerable considered ambushing Zou Heng, but Bone Evil struck first, and Yinyang Qingfan and the other Venerables joined the attack to surround it.

Ch. 637Supremes Were Never Broad-Minded!

Lu Li and the four Venerables killed a Mahayana demon in the Endless Deep Trench, and Lu Li absorbed its Dao Laws Crystal before pressing on with plans to reach Tribulation Transcendence. At Bone Mountain Immortal Market, Bone Mountain Supreme killed Jian Ersan for demanding Jian Wujiu’s release and asked You Jun about the investigation into the Ji Household’s Dao child.

  • Lu Li and the four Venerables shattered a Middle Mahayana demon Venerable, and Lu Li collected its remains in his jade pendant.

Ch. 638Reincarnated? Or Here Through Possession?

  • You Jun told Bone Mountain Supreme that the Ji Household’s Dao Child had few records, bore the designation Shan, and had unexpectedly won the Immortal Seed Battle.
  • Bone Mountain Supreme considered whether the Dao Child was a reincarnated or possessing cultivator, or someone sent down from the upper realm, and ordered You Jun not to provoke the Ji Household.
  • Bone Mountain Supreme directed You Jun to manipulate events involving the Heavenly Firmament Sword Sect and sent his clone to consult Heaven-Dominating Supreme and Ten Thousand Demons Supreme.

  • Bone Mountain Supreme entered the Chaotic Star Palace and sensed that more than one Supreme was present.

Ch. 639Even in an All-Out Fight, They Had a Forty Percent Chance!

Bone Mountain Supreme met with Su Beixiao and Ao Zhuyuan to discuss whether Lu Li’s Dragon Fate could reopen the path of ascension and whether they should protect him from the Ji Household.

Ch. 640Something was wrong! The Ji Household was far too strong!

Bone Mountain Supreme explained that the Ji Household had four Supremes and a vast force, prompting Ao Zhuyuan and Su Beixiao to suspect it had access to resources beyond a single star domain. Bone Mountain concealed his suspicion that the Ji Household might still contact the upper realm and proposed protecting Lu Li until he ascended, then fleeing if the Ji Household discovered their plan.

  • Bone Mountain Supreme described the Ji Household's four branches, powerful cultivators, and extensive forces to Ao Zhuyuan and Su Beixiao.
  • Ao Zhuyuan, Su Beixiao, and Bone Mountain realized the Ji Household was too powerful to have been supported by one star domain's resources.

After returning to the Bone Mountain Immortal Market, he instructed You Jun to keep Jian Wujiu from escaping, but Jian Wujiu warned You Jun that his life was in danger.
