Sage of Humanity
Chapter 851 - 849 Domain Fusion

When Pang Huanyin suddenly appeared in the Heaven's Augury Hall of the Righteous Blood Sect headquarters, Shui Yuan thought there was an intruder. Luckily, Pang Huanyin's cultivation was not high, and she was captured immediately.

"Domain fusion!" The sect master, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Lu Ye quickly saluted and humbly asked, "Sect Master, so the floating land that suddenly appeared above the Cloud River battlefield is indeed from the Unparalleled Continent?"

It was quite a fantastical idea. The corpse disaster of the Unparalleled Continent had been eradicated by the Nine Provinces cultivators just a month ago, and now the Unparalleled Continent had migrated to the Cloud River battlefield.

There must have been celestial operations at play behind this, not as simple as Pang Huanyin suggested. As for what methods Heaven's Augury used to migrate such a large domain fragment to the Cloud River battlefield, Lu Ye couldn't fathom, and even Pang Huanyin might not know.

The sect master stroked his beard and said, "It should be correct. My master once experienced such an event."

Lu Ye didn't know the age of the sect master, and as for his master, that was an even more ancient figure.

"It is said that the Cloud River battlefield wasn't so vast at first. It grew by merging one fragmented or ruined domain after another, including the Spirit Stream battlefield."

Lu Ye still had a vague idea of how large the entire Cloud River battlefield was, but it was definitely hundreds of times larger than the Unparalleled Continent.

He had thought about how such a vast battlefield came into existence but never delved deeply. He believed it to be a part of the Nine Provinces split off by Heaven's Augury. But now, it seemed that was not the case.

The creation and expansion of the Spirit Stream battlefield and the Cloud River battlefield were closely tied to fragmented domains like the Unparalleled Continent.

"Fusion between domains is no simple matter, nor just an expansion of territory. The entire process might take a long time. During this period, cultivators of the Cloud River Realm should not stay in the battlefield, hence why you were expelled."

Lu Ye understood, "Then what about the demon beasts that were born in the Cloud River battlefield?"

Giant Armor immediately pricked up his ears, listening intently with a tense expression.

The sect master said, "During the fusion process, the Heaven and Earth spirit force stirs fiercely, making it unsuitable for cultivators to stay, mainly because it hinders cultivation. There is no danger to life, so the native demon beasts won't be greatly affected, only frightened at most."

Hearing the sect master's words, the tense Giant Armor finally relaxed.

"So, will the Cloud River battlefield be inaccessible for a while?" Lu Ye asked.

"Yes, it will stabilize in at least ten days or half a month, or at most a few months."

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

With his cultivation at Cloud River Level 9 and many gold-hued spirit fortune sticks in hand, it made little difference whether he cultivated in the Cloud River battlefield or the Nine Provinces.

The only pity was that he hadn't had the chance to reconfigure the big array at the spirit ground.

The expansion of the spirit ground had long concluded, upgrading from a small ground that could accommodate a few people to a large one that could hold a hundred. Naturally, the previously set up Formation needed changes or a complete reconfiguration.

He had planned to handle these matters when he reached the peak of the Cloud River Realm and was ready to leave the battlefield, but now unforeseen events had occurred.

The Unparalleled Continent had migrated across domains, even bringing Pang Huanyin, the master of the Ziwei Dao Palace, to the Righteous Blood Sect.

"Little friend Pang, since you are acquainted with Yiye, let him guide you in exploring. The Mount Ao territory is vast, with many spirit mountaintops, so accommodating your Dao Palace shouldn't be a problem." The sect master instructed.

"Thank you, Sect Master Thang." Pang Huanyin saluted, then turned to Lu Ye, playfully blinking her left eye. "Thank you, senior brother."

Lu Ye was puzzled, "What is this about?"

The sect master explained, "Little friend Pang wants to establish a sect in the Nine Provinces. You know her situation over there, and I heard you helped them solve their troubles in the Unparalleled Continent. They have no roots here in the Nine Provinces, so they wish to be affiliated with our sect. I have already agreed. You will lead her to find some spirit mountaintops to establish their sect, a gift from our Righteous Blood Sect."

Lu Ye finally understood Pang Huanyin's purpose.

In the Nine Provinces, the idea of superior and inferior sects wasn't unusual. Many newly established sects would choose a nearby powerful sect for reliance, to receive support and aid from the superior sect's cultivators, avoiding fighting alone.

The relationship was somewhat like that of subordinates.

The latest to hold such a relationship with the Righteous Blood Sect was the Loyal Heart Sect!

However, back then the superior sect was powerful, now it's the reverse. The Loyal Heart Sect was 2nd grade, while the Righteous Blood Sect had declined drastically.

The Unparalleled Continent had been migrated to the Cloud River battlefield through some strange methods by Heaven's Augury. In the future, it will no longer exist as the Unparalleled Continent but as part of the Cloud River battlefield.

The cultivators of the Unparalleled Continent naturally wouldn't stay there permanently.

Formerly limited by Heaven and Earth, they could only cultivate to the peak of the Cloud River Realm, unable to glimpse the mysteries of the next realm.

Yet for any cultivator, reaching higher realms is an irresistible temptation. Therefore, Unparalleled Continent's cultivators would ultimately leave for the Nine Provinces.

After the recent battle, the number of Ziwei Dao Palace's people had not decreased but increased, mainly by absorbing many cultivators who came to support them.

Having arrived, these people were now Nine Provinces cultivators and needed a place to settle.

Thus, Pang Huanyin had to establish a sect in the Nine Provinces and rebuild the Ziwei Dao Palace unless she decided to disband the Dao Palace and let its members find their own ways.

During the migration, Pang Huanyin learned a lot about the Nine Provinces from Heaven's Augury, deciding to rebuild the Ziwei Dao Palace, and came there with Heaven's Augury's help, appearing at the Righteous Blood Sect.

Initially, the sect master was opposed to such matters, having learned from the Loyal Heart Sect's experience.

However, after hearing Pang Huanyin's detailed explanation, he changed his mind.

He recognized Pang Huanyin's extraordinary talent.

In such a broken domain as the Unparalleled Continent, her achievements in the Cloud River Realm were no less than those of Fong Rulie and others. If she had been born in the Nine Provinces, her foundation would undoubtedly be stronger.

As an experienced individual, the sect master also sensed the good impression Pang Huanyin seemed to have of Lu Ye. Moreover, with the middle ranks of the Righteous Blood Sect being bleak, future development required considering more factors. Accepting the Ziwei Dao Palace as an inferior sect could immediately remedy shortcomings without waiting for their disciples to grow.

The Ziwei Dao Palace also needed a supreme cultivator to oversee it, which could complement each sect perfectly.

However, being an upright person and a strong cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm, the sect master disclosed the Righteous Blood Sect's current situation honestly, advising Pang Huanyin to consider other big sects as superior sects and even offering to mediate.

Of course, Pang Huanyin refused. As she had said, she came to the Nine Provinces for one person and for the Righteous Blood Sect, considering nothing else.

Thus, the matter of the Ziwei Dao Palace establishing a sect and recognizing the Righteous Blood Sect as a superior sect was settled.

To establish a sect, a land as the sect's base was needed.

The Bingzhou territory was vast, with many suitable places for establishing a sect. But the sect master intended to allocate part of Mount Ao to the Ziwei Dao Palace as their foothold in the Nine Provinces.

This was understandable. Mount Ao was large, even at the peak of its time, the Righteous Blood Sect hadn't fully utilized it. Accommodating two sects was not a problem.

Lu Ye was bewildered, with many strange events happening in such a brief time, even he was affected.

"Senior brother?" Pang Huanyin called softly, seeing Lu Ye lost in thought.

Lu Ye nodded, "Follow me."

With that, he soared into the sky, heading in a random direction.

Pang Huanyin smiled slightly and followed.

Shui Yuan watched them leave and turned to Hua Ci, contemplating, "Junior sister, aren't you going?"

Hua Ci smiled gently, "Why should I go?"

Shui Yuan earnestly said, "Junior sister, act early; it might be too late otherwise."

"What are you saying?"

"Don't play dumb..."

"Senior sister, I have some questions about medical techniques to ask you recently." Hua Ci interrupted Shui Yuan, taking her arm.

It wasn't a lie; Hua Ci had long wanted to ask Shui Yuan about medical techniques but had been engrossed in cultivation, missing the chance.

With the Cloud River battlefield issues, cultivators couldn't enter for now; it was a golden opportunity.

Her legacy included medical knowledge, but the focus was mostly on poisons. Yet she never forgot her role as a healing cultivator, caring for someone who often got injured.

The two women left, leaving the sect master and Giant Armor staring at each other.

The sect master valued this sturdy disciple, having recognized his talent. However, Giant Armor's blunt nature and limited time at the headquarters left the sect master knowing little about him.

He prepared to ask if Giant Armor had any cultivation troubles...

People only knew Tang Yifeng of the Righteous Blood Sect as a powerful magic cultivator, not his dual cultivation. Offering guidance to a fellow physique cultivator was of no issue.

Before he could speak, Giant Armor saluted and walked away silently.

The sect master looked disheartened...

As a sect master who once wielded great influence, now he didn't even have chances to guide his disciples— how pitiful...

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Old man, come here quickly!"

The sect master shuddered, promptly heading towards Bright Heart Peak, responding urgently, "Coming, coming!"
