Chapter 55: The Anomaly in the Southern Border, the Exploration of the Ghost Region

“In addition to that, everyone should know that our sect now has many powerful guest elders joining us. They will also appropriately impart quite a few unique skills.”

Sect leader Ding’s voice continued to ring out.

The commotion in the crowd became even more intense.

Many people swept their gazes towards the row of guests with powerful auras.

Regardless of whether these people were famous or not, they were all extremely powerful, and their skills were definitely extraordinary.

More and more aristocratic families were getting restless.

Many representatives of the sacred lands were anxious.

With this, their chances of obtaining good seedlings decreased.

“According to our discussion, every six months, the entire sect will hold a disciple recruitment ceremony and conduct a trial.”

“If an outstanding disciple passes the test and attracts the Emperor’s attention, it’s not impossible for him to become an Emperor’s disciple!”

“Everyone, you have to think carefully. Our Hidden Edge Sect, Reclining Firewood Peak, is still accepting disciples!”

“The person next to me, Li Shiyi, is an outstanding disciple of Reclining Firewood Peak. Everyone is very clear about his results, the Azure Cloud Hidden Dragon Double List!”

Listening to the sect master’s bragging, Li Shiyi appeared calm on the surface, but his heart skipped a beat.

When Ye Changge came out of closed-door cultivation, he had known of this and had already punished him.

He had to clean up the entire Reclining Firewood Peak while carrying a heavy load!

It even made him reflect on himself.

He already understood that his master had entered the three lists, and was also the top of the two lists, but no one knew his identity.

Li Shiyi’s appearance had already let many people know of his fame.

To Ye Changge, this was just stupidity.

For the time being, he wished he could be invisible.

“Sect leader Ding! We have something to ask you.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out from below.

“Sure. I don’t know who you are or what you have to say, but feel free to say it.”

“I’m from the Indigo Sect. I’d like to ask you about the heavenly tribulation.”

Hearing this, sect leader Ding looked normal, but deep down, he found it troublesome.

He did not know anything about it, and Ye Changge had not told him either.

In any case, if the sky fell, the tallest man would hold it up. What heavenly tribulation? Was it more important than developing a sect!?

“Regarding this, secrets of the heavens are involved. It’s not something I can interfere with. Please investigate the details yourself.”

“Sect leader Ding, the Eight Trigrams Quasi-emperor clearly said that there was a Heavenly Dao calamity. As a sect of a Great Emperor, it is impossible for the Hidden Edge Sect to not have any news.”

Frowning slightly, sect leader Ding somewhat understood what he meant.

Previously, the Eight Trigrams Quasi-emperor said that Ye Changge was too arrogant and overbearing. Rumors of him disregarding the common people in the world had been circulating.

Because Ye Changge was a Great Emperor that had not been seen for a long time, he did not respond. No one dared to spread that information pointedly, but it was still widely spread in private.

“Of course we have news. We’ve even begun to prepare for the great calamity.”

“Then why don’t we announce the specific details to the world?”

“Because the matter is too important for ordinary people to bear. We’ll slowly inform the various major factions in time.”

With one sentence, Sect Master Ding retorted.

‘It’s not that I am refusing to tell you about the matter. It’s just that your level is too low. Now that you know about it, there’s no benefit!’

The person who asked the question below turned red.

He did not have the confidence to face the Great Emperor’s sect. He said that the other party raised his own status and belittled him.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, sect leader Ding began to publicize the following matters.

Apart from a series of arrangements for the Hidden Edge Sect, there were changes in personnel, expansion of strength, resources, and other negotiations.

After everything was explained, it was downtime.

Many guests were invited into the main hall to drink and discuss Dao.

Li Shiyi bid farewell to the elders and returned to the Reclining Firewood Peak to report to Ye Changge about what had happened during the ceremony.

“It seems that some people are going to do something below.”

Ye Changge knew very well that there were many factions that were dissatisfied with his overbearing attitude.

Previously, when he was trying to break through to the Emperor Realm, many people were waiting outside to fight for the artifacts.

After being captured by them, many people could only admit defeat and give their gifts. They even had to sacrifice their own people to become pawns for the Hidden Edge Sect.

There were also the sacred lands. They were dissatisfied that they were not allowed to use the name of the sacred land.

There were also many experts who hoped to obtain the insights, resources, or cultivation techniques to break through to the Emperor Realm from them.

Everything was for profit.

However, their individual strength was not enough, so they could only act slowly.

The people who came to the Hidden Edge Sect ceremony were just probing.

However, Ye Changge did not care too much about these people.

‘Let’s not talk about their success rate of becoming an Emperor first.’

Yu Tianxing’s rate of improvement was so fast that a second emperor might very likely appear in the Hidden Edge Sect.

“Cultivate well. If you have anything you don’t understand, go ask your master or your younger sister.”

“In addition, you can go to the Heavenly Mortal Giant Pillar to comprehend it.”

Li Shiyi accepted the order and left.

Ye Changge remembered something.

Before, when he went to West Ocean, he had passed by the intersection of the southern border and the eastern region.

That place had an unusual aura.

Now that he had broken through to the Emperor Realm, it was time for him to take care of it and investigate the situation there.

Previously, he had thought of handling it personally. Now, he only needed to send people over.

Connecting his will to the guest elder jade token, he began to summon the Three-headed God-devil.

Then, he sent out his will, and the rift worm accepted his summons.

Now, the rift worm had become the Guardian Spirit Beast of Reclining Peak. It usually cultivated in a cave abode.

After receiving Ye Changge’s summons, he activated the void mark and instantly arrived outside Ye Changge’s study.

After waiting for a while, the Three-headed God-devil also arrived.

“I called the two of you over this time because I have a mission for the two of you.”

“Please instruct us, your majesty!”

“Your majesty, just say the word.”

The disciples outside did not know for the time being that the Emperor was Ye Changge, but they, the top experts, were all clear.

The rift worm, which had been taught a lesson by Ye Changge, was even more obedient.

Standing in front of Ye Changge, the two could feel Ye Changge’s powerful and ethereal aura.

The longer they interacted with him, the more they knew how big the gap between their strength and Ye Changge’s was.

Ye Changge took out a jade slip and recorded the detailed location in it.

“I once found something unusual at the border between the southern border and the eastern region, probably at the position of the Qilian Mountain. There was a potent smell of blood.”

“The two of you should go and check out the situation. If there are any strange arrays, you can just destroy them.”

“If possible, capture some people and bring them back.”

Taking the jade slip, the rift worm took the lead and shot out with the Three-headed God-devil.

After all, the rift worm’s speed was his forte. He directly tore open space and had the Three-headed God-devil follow him.

The two of them did not dare to delay Ye Changge’s mission.

Asura Ghost Region.

“One of the nine ghosts of the universe has disappeared out of nowhere. Have you found the reason?”
