Buzz!
After a full four days, the entire underground river passage seemed to have an invisible ripple spreading out.
This force was much stronger than the previously faint sealing power, and it enveloped the entire passage of the underground river.
"Phew... finally figured out some clues."
At the location of the array, Lu Ye opened the shield and exhaled deeply.
It took him a full four days to step into the threshold of an Array Master, raising his Array Dao to a higher level.
After spending half a day, he finally repaired a small part of the breach in the sealing array.
To completely supplement it would require several more days without rest to achieve.
There was no choice; although he had advanced a level as an Array Master, the gap compared to the person who set up the sealing array was still too large.
While others could quickly set up this grand array, Lu Ye needed to spend a large amount of time just to repair a small part.
However, now that it was confirmed that it could be repaired, Lu Ye felt as if a great weight had lifted from his heart.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Territory.
With the official shattering of the Mist Heaven Hall, in these few days, many cultivators who had been teleported out fell within the Northern Territory.
Among them, the Yuanyang Saint Son from the Yuanyang Palace was also present.
In the few days since coming out of the Mist Heaven Hall, because he needed to gather the palace disciples who had been teleported to other places.
So, the Yuanyang Saint Son didn’t leave the Northern Territory immediately but waited for others to come in the Northern Territory.
In the past two days in the Northern Territory, in a small town, the Yuanyang Saint Son didn’t hear much else, but occasionally...
The legend of Chen Beixuan.
Including inns and storytelling stalls, every day, he could hear some new anecdotes.
"A mere poor cultivator, being revered as a god in a remote small place, is truly laughable."
Hearing these impassioned words, the Yuanyang Saint Son merely sneered.
Without recognizing the true god, they instead exalted a false god with little foundation.
"If I were to defeat him on the land of the Northern Territory..."
The eyes of the Yuanyang Saint Son narrowed, thinking that many people’s beliefs would also collapse as a result.
What young prodigy undefeated for years?
Thus, while waiting for the rest of the Yuanyang Palace to arrive, the Yuanyang Saint Son really intended to search for the trace of Chen Beixuan.
Planning to head directly to his latest location in the Northern Territory when he heard about it...
After all, the Yuanyang Saint Son held some resentment over Chen Beixuan’s refusal to exchange the Celestial Cyan Spirit Lotus Seed in the Mist Heaven Hall.
Now, if he could destroy the faith of many in the Northern Territory, it might also alleviate the resentment in the heart of the Yuanyang Saint Son.
Unfortunately, after waiting for two days, until the disciples of the Yuanyang Palace teleported to other places converged towards the Northern Territory.
Still, there was no news of Chen Beixuan appearing.
It’s as if, after the Mist Heaven Hall, the person had completely vanished.
"Was he teleported to a faraway place, or does he not dare to show up?"
Since he hadn’t shown up, the Yuanyang Saint Son, having just participated in the Mist Heaven Hall, definitely needed to return to report the achievements to the Sect.
After a brief thought, outside the small town, he left a giant pit a hundred meters deep with a single palm.
In the eyes of countless shocked people in the town, he left a message...
"I am the Yuanyang Saint Son of the Boundless Sea. Chen Beixuan, in my opinion, is merely a deceiver of false reputation. In the Mist Heaven Hall, I spared him once, and thereafter... I’ll await him at the Boundless Sea."
If he had suddenly said such a thing before creating a pit that would shock even Earth Realm experts with one palm.
People in the small town, be they ordinary folks or cultivators, would have thought he was a bit out of his mind.
Who is Chen Beixuan? Not just anyone would dare to smear his name.
But after seeing that deep pit, listening to the words of the Yuanyang Saint Son, the few Mortal Realm Earth Realm Grandmasters present in the town didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
This is real strength!
Anyway, based on their own strength, they definitely couldn’t casually create such an effect with one move.
After leaving that message, the Yuanyang Saint Son boarded the Yuanyang Palace flying boat, left the Northern Territory with his hands behind his back.
"Boundless Sea... where is this, how come I’ve never heard of it?" said an ordinary resident of the small town with a face full of confusion. They had never traveled far in their lives, knowing only a few places.
Only those cultivators and some people from outer regions who participated in the Mist Heaven Hall had solemn expressions.
"The Yuanyang Palace of the Boundless Sea... this is one of the top forces of the five in the Boundless Sea! How did Chen Beixuan get involved with him?"
Only those familiar with the Boundless Sea, or those frequently needing to make a living in the sea regions of the Boundless Sea, were clear.
These five forces symbolize what in the Boundless Sea.
Any one of them covers a sea area of over a million miles!
To provoke any one of them means it won’t be easy in the Boundless Sea.
They might either want to subdue you, giving you a chance to surrender.
Or... be relentlessly hunted until death!
"This is the end. No matter how strong Chen Beixuan is, he can’t possibly contend with the Yuanyang Saint Son, right? Even if he barely wins against the Yuanyang Saint Son, the Yuanyang Saint Son has people behind him!"
It’s having people behind them that’s most deadly.
Even if you can fight them, it’s hard to kill them, and you risk them retaliating with stronger forces.
"Indeed, Elder Chen... alas, if you ask me, he should leave the Northern Territory immediately, or change his name and identity. As long as I don’t say I’m Chen Beixuan, who would recognize me?"
"However, given Elder Beixuan’s previous style, this kind of changing identity to avoid others’ challenges might be something he wouldn’t do." Some analyzed Chen Beixuan’s previous conduct, thinking it unlikely.
Soon, in the small town, this explosive news began to spread throughout the Northern Territory as more people spread it.
The Yuanyang Saint Son of the Boundless Sea... challenging Chen Beixuan of the Northern Territory!
Above the Wuxiang Mountain Range, in the Wuxiang Sect.
In a small courtyard, Jiang Lingyue, who was cultivating, heard hurried knocks at the courtyard gate...
Knock knock knock...
"Lingyue Junior Sister, are you home? I have significant news you absolutely don’t know!"
Outside the courtyard, a rather handsome man was knocking on Jiang Lingyue’s courtyard gate.
Hearing the knock and the voice, Jiang Lingyue instinctively frowned, initially not wanting to respond.
But the next second, she heard the man continue, "I heard that the Yuanyang Saint Son of the Boundless Sea has challenged our Northern Territory’s top prodigy Chen Beixuan!"
