Yu Daiwei turned her hand and produced a Tracking Disc. She bit her fingertip and wrote Lu Yi Ye’s name on the disc with blood. The needle spun and pointed in a particular direction. Bing Zhou was in that direction.

 

Although Tracking Discs were rare, it wasn’t impossible to get them. Many top Sects in Jiu Zhou had a reserve of Tracking Discs.

 

The one in Yu Daiwei’s hands was given by the Lord. She would never have used it if she hadn’t intended to capture Lu Ye sooner.

 

It was only normal that he was located in Bing Zhou. Since he was from Bing Zhou, he would certainly go there once he returned to Jiu Zhou from an unknown Small Hidden Realm.

 

She didn’t think the task was difficult to complete. The world was in chaos now, and cultivators were scattered everywhere. It wouldn’t take her much effort to capture a Real Lake Realm Master. She had done that previously.

 

She activated her Spiritual Power and flew towards Bing Zhou. As an Eighth-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master, she could fly quickly.

 

Meanwhile, Tai Shan stood atop a peak with his hands behind his back as he looked at the rolling clouds.

 

Despite being powerful, he was still caught off guard by the series of unexpected events in Jiu Zhou for the past two years. The insectoid plague forced him to make changes to his plans. Anyway, he was adamant to execute his most important plan. That wouldn’t change.

 

The insectoid plague was a calamity for Jiu Zhou. If not for the fact that there were countless cultivators, this world would’ve been ruined.

 

On the other hand, it was a good chance for Tai Shan to win over the people’s support.

 

The entire Jiu Zhou had been haunted by the insectoid plague for two years. Even the cultivators were frustrated, let alone the commoners. At this point, if a person or a great force could step forward and solve the insectoid plague, they would gain massive support.

 

If he wanted to establish a third great force outside of the Grand Sky Coalition and Thousand Demon Ridge and solve the strife between the two sides that had been ongoing for countless years, he had to show everyone he was powerful and charismatic enough to change the status quo.

 

He had the charisma, though he still lacked the power. It was fine as long as he had the chance.

 

The insectoid plague had indeed disrupted his plan, but it had also presented a good chance to him.

 

Before he executed the plan, he needed someone’s help. That was because only that person was able to use the rare item and get the Heavens’ permission to create the third great force.

 

He didn’t have the right previously because the time hadn’t come yet. Now, the time had come. Tai Shan knew that the person already had the right to activate the rare item without needing a probe.

 

It was just a feeling he had. His cultivation had come to a point where most of the time his feelings would be the truth.

 

He just had to meet Lu Ye and tell him how he could solve the crisis. With his help, they would create Chaos and use their power to solve the insectoid plague. Then, Chaos would have the right to gain a footing. He believed the Grand Sky Coalition and Thousand Demon Ridge wouldn’t be so despicable as to get rid of them when the crisis was over.

 

Chaos gaining a footing was only the first step. Too many cultivators were sick of the endless strife between the two sides. If they started recruiting people to Chaos, they didn’t have to worry that no one would come as they had solved the insectoid plague.

 

By then, they just had to erode the heritages of the two sides and slowly change the status quo in Jiu Zhou.

 

The goal couldn’t be achieved in a short time. It would take a hundred or even several hundred years.

 

Tai Shan was ambitious, and he was already used to waiting patiently.

 

In the Sanctum of Providence in Dark Moon Forest Pass, Lu Ye spent a lot of Contribution points to purchase Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills. These cultivation resources were usually useless to him. They could be used to replenish his energy after a battle at most. But following his experience in Blood Refinement Boundary, he knew he’d better keep those things in possession as he might need to use them at any moment.

 

Besides that, he had also purchased many Spirit Artifacts and Spell Artifacts, which were to be devoured by the Sword Gourd.

 

Only a little Sword Qi was left in the Sword Gourd. Since he was Li Taibai now, he had to use the moves of a Sword Cultivator. The Sword Gourd was something he had to rely on now.

 

Although he had nearly a million Contribution points, he spent most of it quickly, keeping only around 100,000 points.

 

Following that, he connected his soul to the Hall of Battle Points. Soon, he stood in front of the hefty door. The two Flood Dragons immediately awakened. Silver Flood Dragon stuck out its head and said enthusiastically, “Little brat, why did you not visit us for such a long time? Have you forgotten about us?”

 

For the past two years, the two Flood Dragons had been waiting anxiously. It wasn’t that they craved the food Lu Ye would bring every time he came. It was just that there was finally someone they could talk to. They wouldn’t want him to die so soon. Since they hadn’t seen him for two years, they thought he was killed.

 

Now that Lu Ye finally showed up, Silver Flood Dragon was elated. Even the usually sedate Golden Flood Dragon looked caringly at him.

 

Lu Ye replied with a smile, “I will never forget about you two, Seniors. I was trapped somewhere for the past few years. I’ve come to visit you after I’ve broken free.”

 

“Well, that’s thoughtful of you.” Silver Flood Dragon was relieved.

 

On the other hand, Golden Flood Dragon noticed an anomaly. “Did you come across a powerful enemy? Why is the move we’ve left behind in your Divine Ocean shattered?”

 

“Well, yeah.” Lu Ye had no intention of explaining anything to them.

 

Golden Flood Dragon was shocked by another thing he discovered. “You’re a Divine Ocean Realm Master now?”

 

It had only been two years since they last met. When Lu Ye was here previously, he was only a Fifth-Order Real Lake Realm Master. Although he had the Heavens’ blessing, his speed of increasing his power was outrageously fast.

 

From his Storage Bag, Lu Ye fished out the meat he had just purchased and tossed it at the two Flood Dragons. Silver Flood Dragon immediately munched on it and said in a muffled voice, “It’s so delicious!”

 

It always seemed so famished. In comparison, Golden Flood Dragon was more sedate.

 

“Please enjoy your food, Seniors. I’ll go in and have a look.” Lu Ye smiled. He didn’t ask the two of them to grant him Two Dragons Protecting the Ocean in his Divine Ocean again because he no longer needed it.

 

Before he ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm, even though he was lucky enough to nurture a Soul Body and develop a Divine Ego, he wasn’t a real Divine Ocean Realm Master. He wasn’t comparable to Divine Ocean Realm Masters.

 

The move left behind by the two Flood Dragons could help him fend off the Soul Attacks cast by Divine Ocean Realm Masters.

 

Now that he was a Divine Ocean Realm Master himself, he no longer needed any external protection. Moreover, he had the Soul Soothing Tower in his Divine Ocean which ensured he wouldn’t have to worry about ordinary Soul Attacks.

 

After pushing the door open, he stepped into the Hall of Battle Points.

 

He didn’t have any special needs this time, so he spent 30,000 battle points to replenish the Sword of Divine Destruction’s power first.

 

The Sword of Divine Destruction was of great help when he was in Blood Refinement Boundary. Without it, Lu Ye wouldn’t have been able to break Dao Thirteen’s Soul Power Shield and leave behind Soul Control. In that environment where his cultivation had been suppressed, he might come across danger he couldn’t ward off.

 

At the very least, during the beginning of his stay in Blood Refinement Boundary, Dao Thirteen had helped him solve a lot of unnecessary trouble so that he could do things without worries.

 

Now that he was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, it was inevitable that he would contend with other Divine Ocean Realm Masters in the future. The Sword of Divine Destruction would be immensely important. Although the item was powerful, it could only be used once, after which it had to be brought to the Hall of Battle Points for its power to be replenished, which was troublesome.

 

Since he had a million battle points, spending 30,000 points was nothing. He was ready to purchase some Golden Amulets.

 

Thanks to the Seniors in Blood Refinement Boundary, his cultivation in the First-Order Divine Ocean Realm had been fortified. Therefore, he decided to continue increasing his power. Naturally, he would take things slow and let nature take its course.

 

But before he could purchase some Golden Amulets, he sensitively detected the changes in the number of stone platforms.

 

He had visited the Hall of Battle Points several times. Although he had never counted the number of stone platforms, he was familiar with the layout.

 

Some new platforms had appeared in a certain area.

 

This wasn’t the first time it had happened. As his cultivation improved, new items he had never seen before would appear in the Hall of Battle Points. They were all valuable treasures.

 

He would usually take a look at them without intending to buy them. Although it was easy for him to earn battle points, he also used a lot of it. The reason he could increase his power quickly was that he spent his battle points generously.

 

Also, even though these treasures were precious, they were merely external items. He would rather purchase some Golden Amulets to increase his power.

 

It was only normal for cultivators to use external power, but they couldn’t be overly reliant on it. Therefore, besides the Inviolable Saber, Lu Ye only had the Red Dragon Warsuit. He only purchased the warsuit because his body would expand when he activated Beast Form. If not for this consideration, he wouldn’t even have bought the Red Dragon Warsuit.

 

Although he had no intention of buying anything, he could take a look at the new items to expand his horizons. If some people used those items to hurt him in the future, he would know what the uses of the items were at the very least and deal with them accordingly.

 

He strode towards the stone platforms and looked at one of them before arching his brows. That was because there was a saber on the stone platform.

 

It looked ordinary, just like a chopper commonly used by the commoners.

 

He lost interest the moment he saw the item. It was undeniable that this saber was of better quality than the Inviolable Saber. Perhaps it was a Spirit Treasure.

 

He was used to using the Inviolable Saber, and he had established a spiritual connection with the weapon. With the saber in his hand, he could fully activate his power. If it was a saber he wasn’t familiar with, even if it was of higher quality and looked the same as the Inviolable Saber, he would have a hard time using it.

 

There were several sabers in the Hall of Battle Points, and all of them were better than the Inviolable Saber. If Lu Ye had wanted to purchase any of them, he would’ve done so long ago.

 

Therefore, he had no intention of finding out more about the saber when he saw it.

 

But before he moved his eyes away, the saber suddenly squirmed and turned into some dark liquid. It wasn’t water-like, for it was much thicker. It looked like the kind of liquid after some metal had melted.

 

The liquid continued to contort and turned into a different-looking saber.

 

Lu Ye was astounded. He observed the saber and discovered that it would keep shifting, but it would always end up becoming a saber.

 

Only then was his interest piqued as he took a look at the item’s information.
