Hunting God Era

Chapter 209 You need to go outside.

The northern border region, the northern desert.

Countless demonic realms merged with the land, expanding their territories, and the land of Shenzhou naturally became many times larger, including this northern desert region.

However, the size of the place has little to do with certain sects and families. For those who are preparing to completely abandon the mortal world and find a way to ascend, the only thing they need to do during this period is to unite with others and seize resources so that they can ascend one day.

The Divine Eagle Sect, a major sect in the northern desert, can be traced back to the Xiongnu period. Over the years, it has integrated various forces and gradually grown into a sect based on the divine eagle of the grasslands.

This sect values ​​bloodline inheritance, and the disciples it recruits must come from prestigious families or have the bloodline of powerful clans. Because of this, they have considerable influence in the northern desert region.

At this moment, the sect leader of the Divine Eagle Sect looked down with a worried expression and sighed softly as he gazed at the people below.

They were currently inside a large tent, which was also the original residence of the Divine Eagle Sect. There were several large tents set up in the boundless grassland.

His disciples roamed the grasslands, training eagles and teasing dogs, using this as the foundation of their cultivation.

Inside the large tent, it wasn't just people from their sect; representatives from the northern desert, the entire north, and other remaining forces from different directions were also gathered there.

Each of them had a solemn expression, making the air inside the tent feel thicker.

Unfortunately, China has been doing some really big things lately, and we didn't realize it at first.

When the southern sects and aristocratic families were all gone, they only heard some rumors, but they didn't take them seriously. After all, the stories were too exaggerated. In less than half a month, the southern sects and aristocratic families were all gone, and not a single person came out to bring any news.
Even if China were to take real action, it wouldn't be able to do it. They haven't heard of any land submersion or widespread suffering; it's all pure nonsense.

If we're talking about wiping out a few sects and powerful families, then we can only say that the Central Plains was enraged and must have done something beyond their tolerance. In that case, they deserved it.

Things are different now. The purge thirty years ago established the rules of China. In recent years, China has become increasingly powerful and can no longer afford to engage in petty tricks. If they do not act within the rules, they will die.

Everyone knows that China cannot tolerate them, but everyone also knows that it is impossible to eradicate them.

Inheritance, secret techniques, the primordial beginning—these things will never disappear. As long as humanity exists and demons exist, new Pan Demons will always be born, and new primordial beginnings will emerge.

They are indispensable too.

When they hid in the Yuan Chu, they still played a positive role in suppressing the Yuan Chu; they weren't just engaging in petty scheming. Without them, the land of China would be in who knows what chaos it would be in.

But the wind quickly shifted, and the southern sects and aristocratic families were wiped out, which they treated as mere rumors.

When the powerful clans and families in the west were wiped out, they became alert and began to investigate. However, as soon as they started investigating, they discovered something even more terrifying.

The survivors all went north and told them that the powerful clans and sects in the east were also gone, either surrendering or dying, leaving only them.

The most terrifying thing is that all those primordial worlds are gone. The small worlds they believed they could suppress demons and cultivated in were all quickly wiped out, becoming one after another fiefdoms and demon realms in the human world.

"it's out of the question!"

The Divine Eagle Sect Master, Dugu Tian, ​​slammed his fist on the table, making the mutton on it tremble. "How many Primordial Chaos beasts would that be? How many corrupted demons are there in the Primordial Chaos? A million? Tens of millions? Even a million pigs wouldn't be slaughtered that quickly. How could they be gone so quickly!"

Not to mention that the Primordial Era also has a dormant mechanism, which is even slower than the Demon Realm's mechanism. A newly born Primordial Era, from its birth to its complete destruction, would take the entire Divine Continent a hundred years to eradicate without the use of weapons.

Using weapons would require more than a decade of relentless bombing.

Even if they are not newborns, it will still take seven or eight years.

Everyone knows what Shenzhou is doing, but they have been ignoring them, letting them cultivate through Yuan Chu, while at the same time weakening Yuan Chu's dormant mechanism, and controlling the demons outside, preferably preventing the Pan Demon from appearing, and digesting the existing forces one by one.

However, they are also racing against time. They want this window of opportunity. As long as they can unite the Yuan Chu into one place before the Shenzhou strategy is launched, they can be the first to ascend.

This was something that was tacitly understood from the start.

For example, his Divine Eagle Sect emphasizes alliances. As long as they take his grassland as their foundation and unite with other Primordial Beings to form the 'Great Desert Royal Court', they can ascend to immortality.

Those small sects, some even only at the fifth realm, but sects and families without history don't know how to ascend. They only know to continuously integrate and summarize the Primordial Beginning, but the Primordial Beginning itself also requires a status.

In China, there are only a handful of companies that can establish their status and have the resources to do so.

The royal court in the northern desert, the white mountains and black waters of the northeast, and the highest sacred mountain in the west.
There was another place in Qingzhou called "Unchanging for Ten Thousand Generations," but after changes occurred throughout history, that group of people disappeared, and the rest remained in the world.

People like the "rivers and streams" of the Grand Canal Gang could be considered, but their status was too low; they felt they were inferior to themselves.

Among them, the Divine Eagle Sect is currently the most successful. The White Mountain and Black Water Sect tried before, but failed.

In the North, they are the only ones with a high probability of success, so the major merchants in the North revere them.

But now, there's no point in talking about respect anymore.
All the sects and families with the same name as them are gone; they are the only ones who haven't been affected yet.

Dugu Tian lost his temper, but none of the people around him refuted him; they were either lost in thought or trembling with fear.

It wasn't that they were afraid of this person, but rather that they were still reeling from the shock of countless sects being wiped out.

"You tell me!"

Dugu Tian pointed at the person sitting below him, "Your Ye family is also a great family in the West, are you really the only one left? Are you trying to fool me?!"

He would rather believe there was some grand conspiracy targeting their sect than believe it was true.

After all, a grand conspiracy still has the power to resist; it is the overwhelming sense of panic that truly brings despair.

"Absolutely not!"

The man surnamed Ye was even more devastated. "That guy named Li Ye came up and asked if we were going to surrender. Before we could even say anything, he lost interest and started killing us all."

"That sword was like a missile lock-on, splitting into thousands of silver threads. If you touched it, you were injured; if you were stabbed, you were killed. Our retainers and elders were all killed."

"As you know, the core members of our family who are at the fifth level of cultivation were beaten to death for their physical prowess, and those skilled in weapons were hacked to death in the same way. Our patriarch used his great supernatural power, but he was killed by Li Ye with a single sword strike! He was killed with a single sword strike!"

After saying this, his face turned deathly pale. He lowered his head and pressed his trembling thigh, clearly still feeling palpitations, and his Dao heart was obviously shattered.

Such a person will likely not be able to make progress in martial arts in the future.

However, Dugu Tian showed no intention of mocking him; instead, his expression became even more solemn. The Ye family patriarch's great supernatural power, 'Interval Without Interruption,' allows him to pinpoint the opponent's weaknesses for attack and simultaneously retract his own.

Even the hardest refined iron, he can find gaps with his great supernatural powers and then break through them.

On the contrary, relying on this great supernatural power, even if others find his weakness, they can forcibly erase it.

This is a martial artist without weaknesses. Back when they were in the Fourth Realm, before he had mastered his great supernatural powers, they had seen him before. He was indeed a remarkable strongman.

There's no question of someone beheading him; the only way to defeat him is to fight him head-on and wear him down.

But judging from this, he was really hacked to death.

He was brutally killed by a fourth realm cultivator who wandered among mortals and intruded into the primordial realm ruled by the fifth realm.

He desperately wanted to say it was fake, but the news that came through indicated that it was indeed only their sects left; the entire heartland of the Divine Continent had been completely emptied.

"Chief, let's begin!"

One of the leaders of the Divine Eagle Sect couldn't take it anymore. "They're clearly serious over there, not giving us a way out. We might as well just take action!"

"How will you do it? Will you just attack directly?"

Another leader disagreed, saying, "If you were talking about a hundred years ago, I would agree with you, but at least a hundred years ago there were foreigners to help us. How do you think we can fight now? Go out from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and then be bombed by the Central Plains? We are martial artists, not gods. Even gods can't withstand modern weapons!"

“That’s right. In the end, we’re just flesh and blood, while they’re a bunch of cold machines. We’ll be at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle. They deliberately left the north until last, just because they think our land is vast and sparsely populated. If a fight really breaks out, they won’t have so many concerns.” Another leader said.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Just wait to die? If that rebel leader really breaks in, how many people will die?" the leader mocked.

This reputation has spread far and wide, and no one considers it to be an empty title.

To think that someone has won over countless sects and families and forced many people to surrender is simply foolish.

"Run."

The speaker was the leader of the 'Water Dragon Gate'. He stroked his beard and suggested, "Let's leave here directly. We've anticipated this situation over the years, but we didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Although they didn't give us time to relocate, they've left some backup plans. We can just connect Yuan Chu with them."

"Then we wouldn't be the authentic ones."

Dugu Tian narrowed his eyes, "You're just giving up the status of the Great Desert Royal Court?"

"It's better than being dead."

The sect leader said, "Paying a price is nothing. As long as we live, there is always a future. Fighting those people outside will only result in death. Even if the inheritance is mutated, it is still the inheritance. But here, none of us will stay."

He looked at Dugu Tian, ​​"Don't tell me that you haven't had any backup plans all these years?"

Dugu Tian remained silent for a moment, then said, "They still exist in Central Asia, but now they've fallen into the same situation as the mafia."

Central Asia also has grasslands, which can fit their status. Although it may be distorted, it is indeed designed as a backup plan.

He never thought he would have to use it. He always thought that the situation would continue to be deadlocked for at least a hundred years before he would think of using his backup plan. After another hundred years, he would be able to transfer most of the people out, which would be enough to establish a foothold.

"I understand. Let's do it this way. The Divine Eagle Sect plans to do it this way. What about you?"

Dugu Tian looked at the representatives of these forces and asked, "What are your plans? How about we leave here in exchange for establishing the 'Western Royal Court' with us?"

"There is no other way."

A representative from a prominent northern family sighed, “In that case, we’ll have to abandon our family business. But with this message, my ancestor might not agree.”

"If he doesn't agree, let him die alone!"

Dugu Tian picked up a piece of mutton and took a big bite. "Let's do it this way. Let's get together right here. The grasslands are vast, and our Yuan Chu is still mobile. We have time to make preparations!"

……

Beijing.

"We're just one last direction to go."

The secretary didn't give Li Ye a list this time, and said with a smile, "But this operation couldn't be kept secret after all, it was discovered, and the North has probably formed an alliance."

"So I need to go there now?"

Li Ye was eating at the time. Upon hearing this, he tore off a piece of pork leg, chewed it a couple of times, and looked at his secretary, saying, "It's better to get this over with sooner rather than later."

"It's not that simple. There's a special sect, also a major sect in the north, called the Divine Eagle Sect. According to the information we have, all the sects and families in the north have gone to the grasslands, and they should have united. But what makes the Yuan Chu sect special is that it follows the water and grass and has always been moving across the grasslands."

"It's not like we can open the gate to the Primordial Chaos just by figuring out the patterns and finding the path. Even you, if you can't find the specific entrance, you can't just create one out of thin air, can you?"

The secretary chuckled and said, "That will take time. We'll introduce you to a guide who will help you find the sect's entrance. Secondly, you need to be prepared to go outside."

Li Ye paused in his eating. "Outside? Just because we unify the entire land doesn't mean the whole country can ascend to immortality?"

"That makes sense, but some Yuan Chu cultivators have backup plans outside. We swept through the heart of Shenzhou, and it should have had a strong Yuan Chu atmosphere, but some martial artists who are specifically responsible for research say that it's missing a few gaps, and that we're not perfect."

Li Ye knew that these people were basically big shots from the Security Bureau. Although they were all at the fourth level, their ability to sense spiritual energy at the fourth level, combined with their professional knowledge, made them exceptionally professional in researching ascension.

"These openings are all things that were transferred from the Primordial Era, or rather, things that existed within the Primordial Era. Whether you call them positions, foundations, or attributes, whatever you want to call them, those things have disappeared. It's like the Locust God Cult outside, which also transferred some positions from the Primordial Era to merge with the Primordial Era outside."

Since the primordial era could be integrated, there was no such thing as something that was close but not far. What was close simply did not require any cost, while connecting to other places only required alienation.

"Those Primordial Realms have our positions, but they are not from the direction of Shenzhou. They have been alienated and integrated into a style that focuses on the outside and our side is secondary. Some people know that we do not allow Primordial Realms to ascend, so they moved away long ago."

“We couldn’t think of that before, and even when we did, it was too late. After you wipe out the North, we hope you will go out and bring those things back. Just wipe them out, and the lost Yuan Chu will naturally make up for the imperfections of our Shenzhou.”

The secretary laughed and said, "Of course, we are prepared. Do whatever you want. There are more demons, or rather, gods outside than here. They are not like us, and they will not deliberately control demons."
