Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

After Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya returned to the valley, he began his cultivation. He had killed many experts at the peak of the Overlord Saint Realm, which could be used as resources for him to break through his realm.

Before cultivating, he released his Primal Avatar.

He had the avatar retrieve all the Saint-level materials from Qingyun and began crafting rune arrays.

These arrays possessed surveillance capabilities, and each array could form a close connection with others, which would be used within the future imperial territory to form a rune surveillance network.

Such arrays didn't require rune masters with high realms, but the runes themselves were not simple and had long been lost. Ordinary rune masters couldn't accomplish this at all.

But for a Primal Rune Master like Jun Wuxie, it wasn't a problem.

He could easily create and engrave rune arrays with just his avatar.

His true body was wholeheartedly devouring the corpses of experts, expanding his Sea of Stars within his Inner World.

While improving his realm, he didn't forget to evolve the Star Sea towards the form of the Taiji Eight Trigrams diagram.

This was a relatively long process that required gradual progress and a solid foundation.

He wasn't in a hurry, slowly evolving it, and was very satisfied as long as there was some improvement each time.

......

While Jun Wuxie was cultivating, Jing Ya quietly left the valley and appeared deep within the mountains, seemingly teleporting.

This place was relatively hidden, but she still waved her hand to create an invisible barrier.

She looked towards the distant sky, her beautiful eyes gleaming, her hands forming mysterious hand seals.

A cyan light lit up on her body, and soon a Qingluan manifested.

The Qingluan flapped its wings, emitting a melodious and graceful cry.

Mysterious bloodline power flowed in this area.

A smooth, mirror-like light screen soon appeared in front of Jing Ya.

The light screen was initially blurry, but it quickly became clear.

A noble and beautiful woman appeared in the light screen, her features somewhat similar to Jing Ya's, also a stunning beauty, but still slightly inferior to Jing Ya.

"Jing Ya?"

The beautiful woman in the light screen was filled with excitement, her voice trembling, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Sister."

Jing Ya's eyes trembled, revealing a knowing smile.

"Jing Ya, it's good that you're alright. When Qing Yu brought Qingcheng back from the Lower Realm, but didn't see you return, your sister's heart has never been at ease. Now that I see you are safe, I can finally rest assured."

"Sister, what is the internal situation of the demon race now?"

A hint of worry appeared between Jing Ya's brows. Ever since they descended to the Lower Realm, the two factions within the demon race had been constantly deteriorating towards opposition.

She didn't understand anything about the situation of the demon race and what had happened over the years.

"It's not at the worst point yet, so don't worry," the beautiful woman said, although she pretended to be calm, Jing Ya still saw the worry in her eyes from a fleeting change.

"Are Qing Yu and Qingcheng alright? That faction will never let it go. Have they secretly attacked Qing Yu and Qingcheng?"

"They've always wanted to, but it's hard to find an opportunity. Only once, they almost succeeded. Qing Yu and Qingcheng went to a secret realm to train and almost fell into their hands. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. Although they were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger, and they recovered after a period of recuperation. Since then, we have been more careful and have not given them any more opportunities. I'm just afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

Jing Ya was relieved to hear that they were safe and sound and that they were doing well.

"You know that the Great Era has begun, and various opportunities will appear one after another. Unless we don't let Qing Yu and Qingcheng go out again, but in that case, they will not be able to compete with their contemporaries in the future, which is not advisable. Therefore, I'm just afraid that in the future, when some secret realms are born, they will still have to go out, and then they will face the calculations of those people..."

Jing Ya was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Sister, the internal strife of the demon race will break out sooner or later. Now the surface is calm, but in fact, a storm is brewing in secret. The more they can hold back, the more serious the situation is. If the people above hadn't promised them something, how could they have endured it?"

"Indeed, the people above have given them some kind of promise, but what it is is unknown. But your sister can feel that we are losing power, perhaps the people who support us are at a disadvantage. Originally, they suffered heavy losses in the Lower Realm and their strength was weakened, so we should have the advantage. However, the powerful experts behind them broke the balance that had always existed..."

"Powerful experts, what do they want to do? What kind of era is this? Don't they know? It's not impossible for the clan to have internal strife, but as powerful experts, they should control the intensity of the internal strife within a certain range. But now it seems that they are doing this because they don't want to stick to any bottom line. This time, they want to completely subvert one faction?"

Jing Ya's heart was filled with anger. She couldn't understand why the powerful experts would make such a decision.

All along, although the two factions had been fighting openly and secretly, they had both retained something for each other and would not go too far.

This was because the powerful experts behind them suppressed them.

Now, their attitude has obviously changed.

This Great Era needs talent, and the demon race in this era is producing more talent than in previous eras.

There are many amazing talents in both factions.

If they can all grow up, it will be a good thing for the demon race in the future. If you want to support one faction and suppress the other, it will inevitably bring huge losses to talent!

"According to the news your sister received, it seems that a member of the Teng Snake faction has a bloodline that has returned to its ancestors. Who it is is still a mystery and we can't find out any specific information. They have been hiding it. We speculate that the powerful experts behind them chose to support the Teng Snake faction because of this. The powerful experts behind us are at a disadvantage and it is difficult to reverse the decision. Perhaps all they can do is delay us some time."

"Ancestral bloodline, pure-blooded Teng Snake?"

Jing Ya was a little surprised to hear this. If it was really a pure-blooded Teng Snake, it would indeed be an extremely powerful ancient god demon blood.

"Since they chose the Teng Snake faction because of this, it can be inferred that the current growth intensity of that ancestral bloodline has probably exceeded Qing Yu's, otherwise the powerful ancestors would not have been so decisive. It's just that they are not sure that Qing Yu will not be able to transform into pure blood in the future, so they are dragging it out, suppressing the Teng Snake clan and not letting them completely turn against each other. But no matter what, your sister's situation is very passive..."

"Now that things have reached this point, we have no other way to deal with it. Now, if we want to resolve this internal bloody struggle, we can only place our hopes on Qing Yu and hope that she can improve her talent and growth intensity as soon as possible, forcing those old ancestors to change their decision, otherwise a bloody event will be inevitable."

"Try to delay time. If you delay it, there will be a better solution. Sister, you believe me. Also, Qingcheng can't stay in the demon race any longer. Her identity will be exposed sooner or later, and it will not be good for her or you. I hope you send someone to Qingzhou as soon as possible to bring Qingcheng here."

"Qingcheng is currently in seclusion in a secret realm within the demon race and is at a critical juncture. As soon as she wakes up, your sister will arrange for someone to send her to Qingzhou," the beautiful woman said, with a look of doubt, "Qingzhou, isn't that the most remote continental edge? The resources there are low-grade and scarce, and the Saint Spirit Qi is thin. Jing Ya, how are you in Qingzhou?"

"He is in Qingzhou, so my sister is naturally in Qingzhou."

"He?" The beautiful woman was stunned. Seeing Jing Ya's face suddenly reveal a gentle and watery expression, she couldn't help but show surprise, "Jing Ya, you've changed. You're not the same as before."

The beautiful woman now knew who the 'he' her sister was talking about was.

Besides the young man named Jun Wuxie in the Lower Realm, there would be no one else.

Looking at her sister's expression, her relationship with Jun Wuxie was probably extraordinary.

"Is there any news about other people from the Lower Realm?"

Jing Ya asked, she believed that her sister knew who she was referring to.

"There is a woman named Yue Chenyu. Two years ago, her identity was exposed and she was hunted down, forced to hide in the Soul-stirring Ridge, and there has been no news since then."

The beautiful woman sighed, with a look of regret, "This matter has been kept from Qing Yu and Qingcheng until now. There is also a woman named Lilia, who was also hunted down, but was finally saved and taken away by the previous generation of Divine Archer of the Great Yi Sect. It is said that she has been accepted as a disciple by the previous generation of Divine Archer, so her safety is not a concern for the time being."

"As for the rest, there is no news. Presumably, they know that their identities are sensitive, so they dare not expose themselves and are disguising themselves very well. Over the years, not only the Teng Snake faction, but also many forces, such as the Enchanting Eye Saint Clan, the Nebula Sect, etc., have been constantly investigating news about cultivators from the Lower Realm. They have even sent people to guard near the City of Misfortune in the Unlucky State for several years."

"Chenyu, I hope she's alright, otherwise all the forces that participated in hunting her down will face the end of destruction!"

The image of the cold and aloof woman appeared in Jing Ya's mind. She was Wuxie's junior sister and held an important place in his heart.

If something really happened to Yue Chenyu, he couldn't imagine how Wuxie would react after hearing the news.

"There's one more thing. Someone deduced the secrets of heaven, and the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Land may appear within a few years. This secret land only appears once every hundreds of thousands of years, and every time it will bring great opportunities. If that young man can have the strength to compete with the contemporary Holy Sons within a few years, he can try it at that time."

Jing Ya nodded, looked at the beautiful woman in the light screen, and said, "Sister, protect Qing Yu and send Qingcheng to Qingzhou as soon as possible. You must also take care of yourselves."

"Jing Ya, you must also take care of yourself."

After the beautiful woman finished speaking, the picture began to blur, and finally even the light screen disappeared.

Jing Ya wiped the fine sweat from her face, breathing slightly.

This kind of contact method consumes too much energy and spirit.

With her realm, she can only use this method to contact people with the same bloodline imprint across such a long distance.

“Should I tell him about Chen Yu?”

Jingya frowned slightly, feeling conflicted.

Yue Chenyu has been in the Spirit Severing Ridge for two years now. If there was any danger, she would have encountered it long ago; if she is still alive, it means she has the means to survive there.

Jingya understands this, so temporarily not telling Jun Wuxie is the most rational choice.

However, she fears that if she hides it from him, she doesn't know how angry he will be when he finds out in the future.

If she tells him, she worries that he will rush to the Spirit Severing Ridge regardless of everything.

That kind of place is extremely terrifying. In ancient times, too many strong individuals were buried there. It is the place in the entire Eastern Territory with the most intense baleful and eerie aura.

Not to mention cultivators with low realms, even powerhouses in the Holy Ancestor Realm are unwilling to set foot there. If one enters the Spirit Severing Ridge, they may encounter danger and find it difficult to come out alive.
