Wu Shattered Star River

The Celestial Beast Cauldron rapidly absorbed, drawing in a great deal of the surrounding elemental energy.

After absorbing a certain amount, white energy began to appear at the mouth of the Celestial Beast Cauldron, spilling out and gradually dissipating into the Other Shore Space.

Jiang Han grew tense, closing his eyes to sense the surrounding space, focusing on monitoring the energy emanating from the Celestial Beast Cauldron.

Half an hour, an hour, half a day!

Excitement appeared on Jiang Han's face because, according to half a day's exploration, he discovered that the energy dissipated by the Celestial Beast Cauldron had disappeared.

In other words—this energy had already integrated into the Other Shore Space.

Previously, the elemental energy he had refined floated within the Other Shore Space, unable to merge at all, distinct and incompatible.

But now it could integrate, which was a very good sign.

Although integration didn't necessarily mean it would be useful, at least it was integrated, there was progress.

Jiang Han continued to observe, the Celestial Beast Cauldron absorbed continuously, at a rapid pace, and when the elemental energy here thinned, it would move to the side and continue absorbing.

"As expected…"

After sensing for another two or three days, Jiang Han confirmed that the energy absorbed and transformed by the Celestial Beast Cauldron did indeed completely integrate into the Other Shore Space.

Now, it depended on whether the transformed energy could complete the laws of the Other Shore Space and allow the Other Shore Space to undergo a preliminary transformation.

"Continue refining!"

Jiang Han became excited, regaining his motivation.

He didn't even need to manage the Celestial Beast Cauldron; after being activated by the artifact spirit, the cauldron would automatically operate, autonomously absorbing elemental laws from the Other Shore Space and then transforming them.

Jiang Han also gave the artifact spirit a few instructions, telling it not to absorb Heavenly Fire and Frozen Qi, otherwise, where would he get these heavenly materials?

After giving the instructions, Jiang Han continued refining, with over a hundred thousand pieces of heavenly materials still remaining, estimated to take another half a year to refine.

After refining, Jiang Han would sort out the spatial rings obtained from slaughtering the Ice Snow Clan and Lynx Clan some time ago.

That was a full tens of millions of rings, and although they belonged to ordinary cultivators, they would more or less have some heavenly materials that could be used for refining, right?

…

Half a year passed again, and the Central Domain completely ceased fighting.

With the Central Domain ceasing fighting, the Northern Domain's army retreated, and the Southern, Eastern, and Western Domains all breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Central Domain had not counterattacked during this half-year, it wouldn't continue to attack.

Of course, the Western Domain's defenses were still very tight, after all, the Western Domain suffered the greatest losses this time, and even the Western Domain Great Emperor, the strongest in the Western Domain, had been killed. The Supreme Emperor had already retreated to the second line, and now could only reappear to preside over the overall situation.

The Southern Domain completely stabilized.

Then, the Ice Snow Clan and Lynx Clan were somewhat embarrassed; after pausing for more than a year, should they continue to pursue Jiang Han?

If they didn't pursue, wouldn't the tens of millions of Ice Snow Clan and Lynx Clan members have died in vain?

If they did pursue, it would consume a large amount of manpower and financial resources, and the key was that they couldn't find Jiang Han.

The other great forces naturally wouldn't pursue; Jiang Han had already disappeared for so long. Since he wasn't coming out to continue slaughtering, why would they continue to pursue him? What if they angered Jiang Han and he went to their territory to slaughter?

The Ice Snow Clan and Star Cluster Association were naturally unwilling, anyway, they had issued a reward, and if any cultivators were willing to pursue, they could go ahead. They mobilized some experts and some tracking experts to continue the pursuit.

At the same time, the Ice Snow Queen secretly summoned the Nether Soul Clan and Human Clan Kings, as well as representatives from the Star Cluster Association, for a small meeting.

The Ice Snow Queen was now smarter; calling the Heavenly Ape Clan and Divine Flame Clan had no meaning, and far from supporting them, they would instead hold them back.

The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to kill Qing Ning and cut off the future of the Azure Feather Clan.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu were actually not a big deal and couldn't shake their foundations. The key was Qing Ning, they had to find a way to kill Qing Ning, otherwise, if Qing Ning grew up, they would all be in big trouble.

They discussed for a day, but couldn't think of a good solution!

Because Qing Ning wasn't coming out now, and was cultivating in seclusion under the Azure God Tree all day long.

If they wanted to assassinate Qing Ning, they would have to go to Azure King City. The city-protecting formation of Azure King City was activated at all times, and once the Azure God Tree sensed something was amiss, the Azure God Tree could release a light shield to cover the entire imperial city.

If they wanted to break through the light shield released by the Azure God Tree, even if ten Dao Ancestor Realm experts bombarded it, it would take two or three days. Would the Heavenly Ape Clan, Divine Flame Clan, and Fa Clan interfere then?

The Heavenly Ape Clan, Divine Flame Clan, and Fa Clan only wanted to establish their own territories and didn't want the entire Southern Domain to fall into turmoil. Therefore, the three clans extremely disapproved of destroying the Azure Feather Clan.

Once the Azure Feather Clan was destroyed, the other clans would definitely engage in infighting, and there would definitely be a large clan that wanted to unify the Southern Domain and become the King of the Southern Domain.

By the time the infighting had gone on for a while, most of the Southern Domain's experts would have died, and if the Central Domain launched a large-scale invasion, what would the Southern Domain use to resist?

In the end, the Heavenly Ape Clan, Divine Flame Clan, and Fa Clan still cared about their own clan's interests, didn't want the table of the Southern Domain to be overturned, and didn't want to be exterminated by the Heavenly Scale Clan, so they had to protect the Azure Feather Clan.

Moreover, the relationship between these three clans and the Azure Feather Clan wasn't good or bad, and they could defect at any time, the Azure Feather Clan wouldn't settle accounts with them.

But the Ice Snow Clan, Nether Soul Clan, Human Clan, and Star Cluster Association had no way out. If the Azure Feather Clan became strong, they would definitely settle accounts with them, and they had to find a way to kill Qing Ning.

"How about…"

The Lynx Clan King proposed an idea: "We go and secretly negotiate with the Heavenly Scale Clan, and let the Central Domain army kill their way in and destroy the Azure Feather Clan?"

"No!"

The Kong Clan King immediately rejected this proposal. He said: "This is inviting a wolf into the house. If the Heavenly Scale Clan destroys the Azure Feather Clan and Heavenly Ape Clan, what if they destroy us along the way and completely occupy the Southern Domain?"

The Ice Snow Queen nodded and said: "Yes, it's too dangerous, we can't take this risk. You have to know that we have killed quite a few members of the Heavenly Scale Clan over the years. If the Heavenly Scale Clan destroys the Azure Feather Clan and Heavenly Ape Clan, they are very likely to destroy all of us along the way, so that the Southern Domain can completely belong to the Heavenly Scale Clan."

The Lynx Clan King touched his nose and said: "Then what do we do? Risk a surprise attack on Azure King City once? The Star Cluster Association can mobilize some experts to lure Qing Xueyun out."

"Then we mobilize all the Dao Ancestor Realm experts and launch a surprise attack on Azure King City to see if there is a chance to kill Qing Ning? If we can't kill her, we'll just retreat. The Azure Feather Clan, Heavenly Ape Clan, Divine Flame Clan, and Fa Clan wouldn't really dare to declare war on us, would they?"

The Ice Snow Queen secretly calculated and said after a moment: "The Azure Feather Clan has three Dao Ancestor Realm experts, plus Ye Wanqiu makes four, and the Azure God Tree makes five."

"If we lure one away, that leaves four! We can mobilize up to twelve Dao Ancestor Realm experts. If all the Dao Ancestor Realm experts are mobilized, there is a chance to break through the Azure God Tree's shield within two days."

"If we arrange it well, we can instantly teleport near Azure King City… I feel there is still a chance!"

The Kong Clan King's eyes lit up and he said: "You mean, secretly build a teleportation array near Azure King City, and we can go there instantly. By the time the Heavenly Ape Clan, Divine Flame Clan, and Fa Clan experts receive the news and rush over, we will have a chance to break through the Azure God Tree's formation and then kill Qing Ning?"

"Yes!"

The Ice Snow Clan Queen nodded, and the Nether Soul Clan King's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said: "Then let's try it. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, Old Ape wouldn't really dare to start a war with us, would he!"

"Then let's try it!"

The Ice Snow Queen made a final decision: "First, secretly build a teleportation array. As long as the teleportation array can be built successfully, then this matter will be more than half done!"
