Chapter 1066 Unrest, Start of War...
As Yi Min settled down in the Star Shattering Sect and managed to recover the ability to walk around without any help, it did not take long before she began getting acquainted with the different elders of the sect.
At the same time, she also used some of her time to explore the Star Shattering Sect by herself. Ending up rather surprised after finding out about the existence of the winged lion demon beast that was lazing around not too far away from the Seventh Star Peak.
Even if she had expected to find other Domain Lord Realm Experts inside of the Star Shattering Sect, she had never expected to find a demon beast. Not only that, but the demon beast had actually reached the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm!
If not for the fact that she had already broken through to the Soul Ascension Realm, she doubted that she would have been able to win against such a powerful demon beast without the assistance of her formation back in the Iron Sky Kingdom.
Even more surprising than that, she found out that the demon beast had not recently been accepted into the Star Shattering Sect but had instead been around for several years already. Meaning that it was likely that Xuan Hao had managed to subdue the demon beast before he had broken through to the Soul Ascension Realm.
Considering that a demon beast would normally be a bit stronger than a human at the same realm due to their powerful physical bodies, she could easily guess just how strong Xuan Hao was for him to be capable of subduing such a powerful demon beast in the Domain Lord Relam.
"Hm...? Why is it just laying around?"
However, after observing the majestic demon beast for a few hours, she was shocked to discover that the winged lion demon beast spent most of its time just sleeping in the sun on a large warm rock while having the disciples of the sect come over with spirit stones and other foods for it. Even if demon beasts would normally spend most of their time laying around, they would at least be cultivating in their own way to increase their strength during this time.
Looking at the winged lion demon beast, it didn't even seem to be doing this and was indeed just sleeping or eating all the time.
Maybe all he needed to do to subdue it was offering a place to sleep and food to eat...
Although it wouldn't be a difficult thing to accomplish with the Star Shattering Sect's current strength and the fact that they now also had someone in the Soul Ascension Realm to crush any ambition that some of the remaining powers inside these kingdoms might have, it would still take years before these kingdoms could be considered to officially have been integrated into the Star Shattering Sect.
Outside of that, there was also the increasing unrest that had begun spreading through the Sky Empire. Even though it had yet to affect the Star Shattering Sect due to the strength of the Star Shattering Sect serving as a deterrent for anyone wanting to start up trouble inside their territory, it would only be a matter of time before the surrounding empires set their sights on the Star Shattering Sect.
After all, even if they heard about the presence of a Soul Ascension Realm Expert in the Star Shattering Sect, it would be far from enough to stop them. In a sense, the only reason why the Star Shattering Sect had been ignored by these empires was because it was located at the border of the Sky Empire, while also bordering the Frozen Wastelands.
In case something ended up happening with the Sky Empire's border with the Frozen Wastelands, one of the first places affected would be the Star Shattering Sect. If there was a Soul Ascension Realm Expert there, it would be beneficial for them, as he would draw the attention of the demonic cultivators away from the rest of the Sky Empire. Potentially giving them enough time to destroy and divide the Sky Empire before the demonic cultivators managed to reach the core region of the Sky Empire.
Because of this, a month slowly passed with Elder Song sending out countless elders to stabilize the new territory of the Star Shattering Sect, while the situation in the Sky Empire continued to grow more chaotic with each passing day.
However, this did not last for long, as the Onyx Empire who had been enemies with the Sky Empire for a long time, officially crossed the border and entered the Sky Empire.
...
"Huh!? The Onyx Empire crossed the border!?"
"Yes, I heard that they mobilized three Soul Ascension Realm Experts for this. Apparently intending to take over the Earth Hill Spiritual Metal Mines..." "This... Isn't most of our spiritual metal coming from that place following the Iron Sky Kingdom cutting off their supply of spiritual metal?"
Back in the capital city of the Sky Empire, this news spread like wildfire as everyone began panicking. Understanding that the surrounding empires had concluded that the imperial family and the old ancestor were indeed gone.
Not only that, but the Onyx Empire had decided to go after one of the most important mines in the Sky Empire from the start. Intending to take control of it before any of the other empires had the chance to...Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
