C495 Ten Years

During this time when Changfeng and the others were cultivating in seclusion, the Martial God Palace disciples who were scattered all over the Holy Spirit Continent kept reporting about the recent developments regarding the Blood Shadow Sect's disciples.

Ye Daoxuan had been entrusted with the affairs of the War God's Palace by Long Wind for the time being. Thus, the information that had been reported to him from various places would be delivered to him as soon as possible.

Ye Daoxuan was most concerned about the Stone Forest Sacred Grounds, and according to the information sent over by the disciples of the Martial God Palace, more and more Blood Shadow Sect disciples were gathering in the area of the Stone Forest Sacred Grounds. Although the whereabouts of those Blood Shadow Sect disciples were unknown, it was inevitable that some things were overlooked.

However, there was another piece of news that caught Ye Daoxuan's attention. Apart from the Stone Forest Holy Land area, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect in the vicinity of the various sects of the Holy Spirit Continent also started to move frequently, gathering their forces and preparing to attack the various sects at the same time.

In the eyes of the disciples of the various sects, the Blood Shadow Sect was mysterious and powerful, especially after hearing from Changfeng Wanli and Xiao Tongxuan that the Blood Shadow Sect was likely to be the descendant of the Desolate Clan, which was a result of the human martial practitioners talking tens of millions of years ago.

Ye Daoxuan was somewhat puzzled by the Blood Shadow Sect's actions. He could not figure out the reason behind its actions.

If they wanted to restart the spatial teleportation formation of the Stone Woods Holy Land to welcome the foreign invaders, then their chances of success would be the highest when the Stone Forest Holy Land reopened ten years later. Otherwise, it would be easier to restore the spatial formation laid down by an ancient supreme elder.

If it wasn't to open the Stone Forest Holy Land, then what the Blood Shadow Sect was doing now was very likely to be a diversion, a ploy to confuse the eyes and ears of the large sects, and then take the opportunity to break them one by one, using it to weaken the strength of the human warriors and the confidence of the human warriors to lay the foundation for the Otherworldly Barren Tribe to return to the human world in the future.

However, what made Ye Daoxuan uncertain was how many Blood Shadow Sect disciples were lurking in this world.

No matter how many Blood Shadow Sect disciples there were, they wouldn't be more than the War God Palace. But now, it seemed that his guess was wrong, at least in terms of numbers, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect wouldn't be less than the War God Palace, and might even far surpass them.

Ye Daoxuan didn't dare to think about what kind of impact the disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect would inflict on the human world and how much damage they would cause if they were to suddenly erupt.

Although Changfeng Wanli and Xiao Tongxuan both realized the severity of this problem, as the two of them were trying to persuade the sect masters of the various sects of the Holy Spirit Continent to unite and eradicate the Blood Shadow Sect together, the vast majority of the sects, for their own interests, did not wish to unite to deal with the Blood Shadow Sect. This also created favourable conditions for the Blood Shadow Sect and gave them the opportunity to attack and destroy the various sects.

Ye Daoxuan couldn't do anything about this. He could only have the disciples of the War God Palace continue to monitor the movements of the Blood Shadow Sect's disciples. They could only wait until the War God Palace's higher-ups came out of seclusion.

Of course, during this period of seclusion, Ye Daoxuan didn't idle around. After explaining the cultivation path to the disciples of the War God Palace for three days, he began to meditate on the cultivation stone outside the main hall of the Palace of Martialism, gaining insights into the mystical arts, deducing secret arts, and comprehending the true essence of martial arts.

It was just as Ye Daoxuan had predicted. Long Wind had advanced from the early stage of Spirit Severing to the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage, and Gu Tianyou had successfully stepped into the Thunder Tribulation Realm, reaching the new realm that all warriors dreamed of.

Therefore, after Gu Tianyou came out of seclusion, he immediately left the Martial God Palace to find a hidden place to undergo his first stage of tribulation.

The Lightning Tribulations were divided into nine stages. With every stage passed, one's strength would multiply. Those who successfully passed the nine stages would then reach the Immortal Realm.

No one knew whether they had all perished or gone to some other place. As a result, whoever was able to reach the Immortal Realm was the strongest person in this world for tens of thousands of years.

A few days later, Gu Tianyou finally returned from the first stage of the tribulation. However, his clothes were tattered and his skin was charred black, making him look extremely miserable.

Seeing Gu Tianyou in such a state, Ye Daoxuan's heart couldn't help but to be moved. He thought back to the day when the Silver Tiger had followed the Rhinoceros back and was also in such a sorry state. Could it be that the Silver Tiger had also experienced the thunder tribulation outside?

Compared to Gu Tianyou who had just crossed the tribulation, the Silver Tiger's return gave Ye Daoxuan an even more unfathomable feeling. From this, Ye Daoxuan deduced that the Silver Tiger's strength was definitely stronger than Gu Tianyou's, but he didn't know that the Silver Tiger had already crossed several stages of tribulation lightning.

Instead, he explained to Ye Daoxuan all kinds of insights he had into the Primal Beginning Immortal Scripture during his cultivation. As a result, the three of them benefited from it once again, of which Ye Daoxuan benefited the most, he had recently comprehended the Sublime Beginning Immortal Scripture and was able to comprehend it together with the other four scriptures. Suddenly, he had an epiphany, and after three days of seclusion, he forcefully advanced to the Divine Division.

The Soul Division stage, the baby in the Qi Sea, was no different from a real person.

The main purpose of Ye Daoxuan's visit to the Martial God Palace was to pass on the Absolute Beginning Immortal Scripture to Long Wind, Gu Tianyou, and the others. Not only did it mean returning objects to their rightful owners, it also meant taking care of the descendents of the "Evil Immortal" and giving them the Spring of Life and Death, which greatly increased the strength of the Martial God Palace's upper echelons. In this way, the Martial God Palace would be able to deal with the Blood Shadow Sect in the future.

After completing these tasks, Ye Daoxuan had the intention to leave. He said to Chang Feng Wanli, "Back then, I was entrusted by a senior to destroy Blood Shadow Sect. Now, I have yet to finish the mission entrusted to me by that senior. I then bid my farewell and prepared to go look for the base of the Blood Shadow Sect. If Palace Head Changfeng has any matters, he can contact the Realm of the Gods and also contact me directly. The moment I discover any news about the Blood Shadow Sect, I will also notify you guys immediately. "

After leaving the War God Palace, Ye Daoxuan returned to the Realm of the Gods to take a look. Seeing that the disciples of the Realm of the Gods were focused on cultivation and safe and sound, he relaxed and entrusted the matter of the Realm of the Gods to Xin Bian.

Ye Daoxuan left this time, determined to travel throughout the entire Holy Spirit Continent, to gain experience first and to search for the Blood Shadow Sect.

After that, in the next ten years, some people who were paying attention to Ye Daoxuan discovered that Ye Daoxuan seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world without a trace.

… ….

To an ordinary person, 10 years was a very long time. But to a martial artist, 10 years was only a single seclusion, passing in an instant.

During these ten years, the Holy Spirit Continent was a place where many things happened. The main reason was that the mysterious Blood Shadow Sect had suddenly become high-profile and active. They repeatedly sent out powerful warriors to assassinate the genius disciples of various great sects.

Under the great proclamations of the War God Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect, the sects finally came to the conclusion that the Blood Shadow Sect was a force that had been left behind in the human world millions of years ago before the Otherworldly Desolate Tribe had left. While they were deliberately destroying the human world, they were also welcoming the return of the Otherworldly Desolate Clan.

In addition, during these ten years, the War God Palace had become increasingly powerful, and the Realm of the Gods had risen rapidly. They had also attracted the attention of the warriors of the Holy Spirit Continent.

It was said that the Martial God Palace's Supreme Elder, Gu Tianyou, had successfully passed through the third tribulation, becoming a third level Tribulation Realm expert with unrivalled strength; the Martial God Palace's Palace Master, Zhang Fengli, had also successfully advanced to the Tribulation Realm, becoming a first level Tribulation Realm expert; and the many Elders and Protectors of the Martial God Palace had all made astonishing progress in their cultivation.

It could be said that compared to ten years ago, the overall strength of the War God's Palace had increased more than tenfold. It had left the other nine sects far behind.

Although the Celestial domain wasn't one of the top ten great sects of the Holy Spirit Continent, everyone who was paying attention to it knew that the Celestial domain's overall strength wasn't any weaker than the second ranked sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect. Especially those beauties with peerless looks in the Celestial domain.

Countless young powerhouses had arrived at the Divine Realm not too far away from here, all for the sake of seeing the peerless beauty and peerless grace of those women. It was a pity that they were blocked by the Forbidden Land of Life and Death and couldn't enter the Divine Realm.
