When Pang Huanyin abruptly appeared in the Sanctum of Providence in the Crimson Blood Sect, Shui Yuan thought there was an invader. Since Pang Huanyin was weak, she was immediately subdued.
The Sect Master, who had been silent for quite a while, suddenly said, “The merger of the two worlds!”
Lu Ye quickly saluted him and asked humbly, “Sect Master, do you mean the floating continent above the Cloud River Battlefield is indeed the Peerless Continent?”
It was quite fantastical. It had only been a month since Jiu Zhou cultivators helped destroy the Corpse Race in the Peerless Continent, but now, the Continent was already right above the Cloud River Battlefield.
Surely, it wasn’t as simple as what Pang Huanyin had described. The Heavens must be the mastermind behind it. As for how the Heavens were able to move such a colossal continent to the Cloud River Battlefield, Lu Ye had no idea. Even Pang Huanyin might not know how it was done.
The Sect Master ran his fingers through his beard. “I think so. My Honoured Master had experienced a similar incident.”
Lu Ye had no idea how old the Sect Master was. Naturally, his Honoured Master was even older.
“It’s said that the Cloud River Battlefield wasn’t so big in the beginning. It grew in scale by merging with some broken worlds. It’s the same case for the Spirit Creek Battlefield.”
Lu Ye had a rough idea of how vast the Cloud River Battlefield was. Certainly, it was at least 100 times larger than the Peerless Continent.
He had thought about how such a huge Battlefield was born, but he didn’t ponder on it. In the past, he believed that the Heavens had split a part of Jiu Zhou and formed the Cloud River Battlefield, but now, that didn’t seem to be the case.
The expansion of the Spirit Creek Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield was largely due to the merger with broken worlds such as the Peerless Continent.
“It’s not easy for two worlds to become one. It’s also not as simple as an expansion. The process will take a long time. During this period, it won’t be suitable for cultivators to stay on the Cloud River Battlefield. That’s why all of you were sent back to Jiu Zhou.”
Lu Ye asked meditatively, “What about the Spirit Beasts on the Cloud River Battlefield?”
Ju Jia listened attentively with a nervous expression.
The Sect Master went on to say, “World Spiritual Qi will be unstable during the process, so cultivators can’t stay there. It’ll hinder the cultivation of power, but it’s not life-threatening. As such, the local Spirit Beasts won’t be affected. They’ll be frightened at most.”
Upon hearing that, Ju Jia set his mind at ease.
“In that case, we won’t be able to enter the Cloud River Battlefield. Is that right?” Lu Ye asked.
“That’s right. It’ll take more than ten days or even several months before the Cloud River Battlefield will stabilise.”
Lu Ye dipped his head.
He was now a Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Master, and he still had many Golden Amulets. Cultivating on the Cloud River Battlefield or in Jiu Zhou made no difference to him.
However, it was a shame that he hadn’t been able to modify the Grand Ward around the Arcane Glade.
The expansion of the Arcane Glade was completed. Initially, it could only accommodate several people, but now, it was a large Arcane Glade that could allow more than 100 people to stay and cultivate at the same time. As such, the old Grand Ward had to be modified or even rebuilt.
Initially, he had decided that he would make it to the peak of the Cloud River Realm and deal with the matter before leaving the Cloud River Battlefield. Alas, things went against his wishes.
Not only had the Peerless Continent moved to the Cloud River Battlefield, but Pang Huanyin, who was the Palace Master of Purple Star Palace, had also appeared in the Crimson Blood Sect.
“Little Friend Pang, since you and Yi Ye and friends, I’ll let him show you around. Our territory is vast, and we have many Spirit Peaks. We definitely can accommodate your Sect here,” said the Sect Master.
“Thanks, Sect Master Tang.” Pang Huanyin saluted him and turned to look at Lu Ye before winking mischievously. “I’m sorry for bothering you, Senior Brother.”
Lu Ye was puzzled. “What am I supposed to do?”
The Sect Master explained, “Little Friend Pang wants to establish a Sect in Jiu Zhou, but you know what has happened to them. I heard that all of you went to the Peerless Continent and helped them solve a crisis. Since they don’t have any foundation in Jiu Zhou, they’d like to come under our wing. I’ve already agreed to it. Your job is to help her find a suitable Spirit Peak so that she can build a Sect there. It’s our gift to them.”
Only then did Lu Ye understand the purpose of Pang Huanyin’s visit.
In Jiu Zhou, it was common for a Sect to fall under the wing of another Sect. Many newly established Sects would choose to be attached to stronger Sects. That way, they could get support from the stronger Sects, including the help of their cultivators. That way, they wouldn’t be on their own in this competitive world.
One Sect would be like the subsidiary of another Sect.
The previous subsidiary of the Crimson Blood Sect was the Devoted Ones.
Initially, the Crimson Blood Sect was the stronger one, but as time passed, the Devoted Ones was now a Tier-Two Sect while the Crimson Blood Sect was still pretty weak.
The Heavens had used a powerful move to bring the Peerless Continent to the Cloud River Battlefield. Now, there would be no more Peerless Continent. It would be part of the Cloud River Battlefield.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Peerless Continent wouldn’t stay there forever.
Previously, they were restricted by the limit of their world, so they could only make it to the peak of the Cloud River Realm at most. They were unable to explore the secrets of the next Realm.
To any cultivator, a higher Realm was an irresistible temptation. Therefore, the cultivators from the Peerless Continent would eventually leave the Cloud River Battlefield and arrive in Jiu Zhou.
Following the epic battle, the number of cultivators in Purple Star Palace had increased instead of decreased. That was because they had accepted many cultivators from the bases who were there to lend them a helping hand.
Since these people were there, they were Jiu Zhou cultivators as well. As such, they needed a place where they could live and cultivate.
That was why Pang Huanyin had to establish a Sect in Jiu Zhou and rebuild Purple Star Palace. It was unless she was willing to dissolve the Palace and let the disciples explore other options.
During the migration, Pang Huanyin learned a lot about Jiu Zhou from the Heavens. Since she had decided to rebuild Purple Star Palace, she asked the Heavens to help send her to the Crimson Blood Sect directly.
Initially, the Sect Master was against the idea, considering what had happened to the Devoted Ones.
However, he changed his mind upon hearing Pang Huanyin’s story.
Given his eyesight, he could tell that the woman was gifted.
Despite having grown up in a broken world such as the Peerless Continent, she was just as powerful as Feng Rulie and the others in the Cloud River Realm. If she had been born in Jiu Zhou, she would’ve had a greater heritage.
Moreover, as an experienced person, he noticed that the woman had some feelings for Lu Ye. Also, as they lacked Cloud River Realm Masters, he had to consider many things if he wanted to develop the Sect. If he accepted Purple Star Palace to be their subsidiary, they would have some Cloud River Realm Masters at once. They wouldn’t have to wait for their own disciples to grow their powers slowly.
On the other hand, Purple Star Palace lacked some powerful cultivators who could protect them. The two Sects could complement each other.
That said, the Sect Master was a righteous person. Being a Divine Ocean Realm Master, he wouldn’t want to hide anything from Pang Huanyin. He told her about the current situation in the Sect. He even persuaded her to choose another stronger Sect and was willing to help her contact them.
Naturally, Pang Huanyin had turned him down. Just like what she had said, she came all the way to Jiu Zhou only for one person and the Crimson Blood Sect. She wouldn’t consider other Sects.
Hence, it was decided that Pang Huanyin would rebuild Purple Star Palace there, and it would fall under the wing of the Crimson Blood Sect.
Since she had to establish a Sect, she had to choose a place and make it their foundation.
Bing Zhou was a vast area, so there were many places suitable for that purpose. Nevertheless, the Sect Master intended to give Purple Star Palace a part of Mount Ao where they could build their foundation in Jiu Zhou.
It was a reasonable thing to do. Mount Ao was expansive. Even when the Crimson Blood Sect was at its peak, they couldn’t fully make use of the entire area. Therefore, the area could definitely accommodate two Sects.
Lu Ye was in a dazed state as many strange incidents had happened in a short time. Despite his usually calm disposition, he was mentally impacted.
Seeing that Lu Ye was in a trance, Pang Huanyin called out, “Senior Brother.”
Only then did Lu Ye dip his head. “Come with me.”
With that, he shot into the sky and flew forward in a random direction.
Pang Huanyin put on a smile and followed him.
Shui Yuan watched them leave and fell into her thoughts. Then, she turned to look at Hua Ci. “Why aren’t you following them?”
Hua Ci replied with a smile, “Why would I do that?”
Shui Yuan said worriedly, “You have to make a move as quickly as you can, Junior Sister. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.”
“What are you talking about, Senior Sister?”
“Don’t play dumb with me…”
“Since you have some free time now, can you give me some guidance on the Way of Medicine?” Hua Ci cut her off and went over to hook her arm around the woman’s.
She was sincere. She had always wanted to get some guidance from Shui Yuan about the Way of Medicine. However, since she was focused on increasing her power quickly, she hadn’t had a chance to do so.
Since the merger was ongoing, no cultivators could enter the Cloud River Battlefield. This was a good chance for Hua Ci.
Although part of her inheritance was about medicine, it was mainly about poison.
She had never forgotten that she was a Medical Cultivator. Also, there was a certain someone who was frequently injured. She had to take care of him.
After they were gone, only the Sect Master and Ju Jia were there.
The Sect Master had high hopes for this burly disciple. That was because he could tell that Ju Jia was gifted. However, Ju Jia was inarticulate. Also, he wasn’t in the Crimson Blood Sect most of the time, so the Sect Master knew little about him.
As such, he was ready to ask Ju Jia if the latter was facing any difficulty when it came to cultivation.
Everyone knew that Tang Yi Feng was a powerful Spell Cultivator, but little did they know that he was also a mighty Body-tempering Cultivator. Naturally, he could give some guidance to a disciple who was also a Body-tempering Cultivator.
But before he could even offer to help, Ju Jia saluted him and turned around to leave.
Tang Yi Feng was crestfallen.
As the Sect Master of the Crimson Blood Sect, he used to command respect wherever he went. But now, he didn’t even have a chance to give some guidance to a disciple. How miserable was that?
Suddenly, he heard a stern voice speaking to him. “Where are you, Old Fart?”
The Sect Master shuddered and hurriedly headed to the Summit of Clarity. “I’m coming!”
