Chapter 190: The Yanfu Scheme, the Nine Provinces' Pride

Chapter 190: The Yanfu Scheme, the Nine Provinces' Pride

Among the Nine Provinces, whether in terms of territorial size or overall strength, Yanfu Province ranks among the top.

【Has there been a significant change in the Yanfu Province's situation compared to ten thousand years ago?】

"The battles among the various races have never ceased over the past ten thousand years, but the overall situation remains unchanged. Yanfu Province still has six dominant forces coexisting." Qian Chong slowly explained, "Hunter Gods Corporation, Sky God Tribe, Nine Palaces, Beast Sea, and Heaven Reach Arena."

"The changes at the dominant level mainly involve two points."

"One is that our Great Crimson Heavenly Palace has joined the Eight Palaces, now renamed the Nine Palaces."

"Secondly, the once-great force, the Mother Goddess Church, has been dismantled, replaced by a new church called 'Buddha Homeland.' They possess a power called 'Flame Seed,' which, like the Mother Goddess Church of the past, can dispel the deceptive fog at night. Over the past ten thousand years, they have developed rapidly and have completely occupied the Eastern and Northern Continents, replacing the Mother Goddess Church's position as the sixth dominant force."

【Buddha Homeland?】

They have tried to break free from the bloodline's shackles by entering the Forbidden Sequence, but ultimately failed.

In the 161st chapter, a book will reveal the truth.

However, the second method is akin to being at the mercy of others, with the initiative during the process entirely in the hands of the receiving party. Once they destroy the transit zone, the welcoming party will face sanctions from the higher powers.

To return to the Great Universe, there are only two paths.

This secret technique can allow the visualized creations to manifest in the physical world after entering the Divine Journey Realm, accompanying you at all times.

"When did you become so close to the Northern Azure Commerce Alliance?" Yang Yao asked in surprise, as the city's major renovation was no small matter.

"Yes," Ji Jingqiu added. "This planet is very important. We need to partially renovate the city of Taian, and we'll need everyone's help with this."

Up to this day, the largest dominant force in the Nine Provinces is rarely a single civilization or race; more often, it's a collection of multiple civilizations.

Subsequently, the ethereal law flowed through his fingers like sand, difficult to grasp yet clearly felt.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head. "As for money, the Northern Azure Commerce Alliance will cover most of it, and the government will provide subsidies. There will also be friendly sponsorships from certain forces."

Bloodline degeneration implies a lowering of the upper limit.

...

Within a year, this individual had completed a dazzling transformation in identity, rising from a critically ill teenager from an ordinary family to become the martial arts rising star in the Federal.

The encroachment of the borderlands.

Suddenly...

There are also neutral forces like the Heaven Reach Arena.

The Nine Provinces' heritage ancient path is connected to the Boundary Mountain.

Thus, the Beast Sea's strength has been declining since their migration to the Nine Provinces. Over the long years, they are left with only two slumbering ancestors, and the tribe has been trying to purify and integrate their bloodlines, but with limited success.

The first generation of Void Beasts can only be born in the Great Universe and its affiliated Secondary Universe Planes.

Under the vast night sky.

Stepping into the passage, he covered a distance of several meters in just two steps, feeling once again like every cell in his body was cheering.

He slowly walked along the edge of the arena, gently caressing the weathered cracks and dark red bloodstains on the stone wall. It was as if he were searching for his ancestors' battle spirits while also seeking his own path.

In the vicinity, there were only three shining points of light, brilliant like the sun.

At the highest point of the floating land, a majestic temple stood, weathered by time yet unyielding. Carved on its walls were vivid divine marks, a testament to its enduring legacy.

Afterward, Long Qingyang mentioned that the Dragon Tiger Dojo would establish a branch on Northern 3 Huang Star and relocate at least half of its power there.

They were born with a certain mark, enjoying a certain convenience while also losing their "freedom."

First, they needed to relocate the population, which wasn't difficult. The lower district had many unregistered residents who would gladly accept a legal identity to leave that place.

In one of the temples, a woman sat in meditation.

Not far away, Qian Chong, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise. How could such a small place have someone capable of crossing...

Over the long years, many once-powerful forces have declined, while others have endured for eternity.

In the center of the ancient arena.

"The Forbidden Gate...?"

Without Hela's protection, the demise of the Mother Goddess Church was inevitable, similar to the fate of the old royal city.

"As for whether there's a hidden force, I believe there isn't. After all, breaking through the Forbidden Sequence creates a huge commotion that would draw the attention of the Dark Sea to the Nine Provinces. It's a significant event that can't be hidden. But..."

Beast Sea, for example, is the holy land of the Void Beasts.

Not far away, several arena officials who noticed this scene looked grave and discussed in hushed tones.

【Jingqiu, have you crossed the threshold of the Forbidden Sequence?】

If there isn't a worthy opponent on the ancient path, you're lacking in terms of tempering?

True Seed is the foundation, and only by defying common sense and surpassing limits can one cross the threshold of the Forbidden Gate and then be listed above the Boundary Mountain, entering some mysterious sequence.

Now, after Hela's death, a new church has emerged, and they possess a power similar to that of the other three demons. Could they have intervened in the affairs of Yanfu Province?

The once light-hearted and giggling youth now exuded a transformed aura, their sharp brows raised like a blade, emitting a formidable and awe-inspiring presence that surged like a rising tide.

Qian Chong's eyes gleamed with intensity, having heard whispers of past events from his master and receiving repeated instructions before his departure.

Throughout history, only martial artists listed in the Forbidden Sequence were qualified to venture into the deepest parts of the Ancient Road.

They must return to the Great Universe to have a chance at survival in this lifetime.

Qian Chong was overjoyed, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

This feeling was so wonderful that it was hard to resist.

The Divine God Tribe, named after the Divine Gods, was one of the most powerful races across countless epochs, despite their scarcity and challenging inheritance. Each member of the tribe carried Divine Blood, inherently possessing divine nature and limitless potential.

"Senior, is this because the successor of Senior He has appeared?"

The next moment.

This was an ancient power with a long heritage, but in recent years, they faced a thorny issue—bloodline degeneration.

This trip was initially planned with Shi Xuanzhen, but Shi had other matters to attend to and would arrive later.

"The Divine God Tribe's Peerless Genius of this generation is a woman. If you can capture her and make her your servant, not only will you have the backing to become a branch manager, but even the top position in the headquarters will be within your reach!"

"On the contrary, they previously joined forces with external powers to kill me, but in the end, I turned the tables on them." Ji Jingqiu briefly explained.

...

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

In the boundless expanse of blue, a floating landmass appeared stationary but was slowly moving forward.

Qian Chong nodded in agreement with this statement.

She slowly walked out of the temple, following the source of the ethereal gaze, her eyes deep and mysterious as she whispered:

In a far-off realm, this number kept rising but never became excessive.

He abruptly turned around.

On the floating land, misty clouds enveloped the mountains, and various exotic flowers bloomed in competition. Numerous creatures from myths casually roamed the forests—unicorns with pristine manes, majestic dragon species...

Before this, the Zhang and Luo families in Taian City held some influence, but after this statement, their status skyrocketed! Ji Jingqiu briefly explained the situation to everyone.

Now, for the first time in history, with a True Seed Realm cultivator's status, he became the Star Lord of Dong3 Huang Star... Was this reasonable?

Was this the successor of the Southern Emperor?

Only those who achieve a thousand consecutive victories against opponents of the same level are qualified to join the Heaven Reach Arena and become official members.

The Nine Palaces, in essence, are a union of hundreds of civilizations, with the Nine Palaces at the forefront, resembling a scholastic system.

Ji Jingqiu, using the Mind Flame Omnipotent Lamp, forced the black mist to retreat once more.

Everyone exchanged glances, astonished.

These two "Holy Lands" have spanned countless epochs.

Moreover, the rules of the Nine Provinces differ from the Great Universe, making it easier to give birth to forbidden talents.

In addition to the Guardian God Lord's temple, a temple for the Four Divine Lords must be built, with funding provided by the federal government for this part.

After thorough preparation, Ji Jingqiu took some high-energy nutritional bars and other supplies, stepping into the passageway and returning to the Nine Provinces.

However, beings born in the Nine Provinces cannot freely traverse different planes of existence like those from the Great Universe.

He abruptly stood up and approached the window, gazing into the distant horizon, his aura intensifying like oil on fire, growing more intense by the second. Jiang Tunhai, who had been lazy for over a year, suddenly felt a surge of motivation, and the old man's eyes gleamed with understanding, instantly guessing the answer behind it all.

The decay of the starry sky.

"Currently, there are only three, each affiliated with the Divine God Tribe, Hunter Gods Corporation, and Heaven Reach Arena."

The mumbling continued intermittently.

Ji Jingqiu obtained the Spirit Form Technique from the Ancestor, as mentioned by Qingyang.

On this day.

And this time, the black mist did not retreat as the conclusion.

Regarding the fall of the Mother Goddess Church, Mu Qing felt no regret.

As the name was completely imprinted on the stele.

"The dojo will send professionals to handle the overall situation, but on the official side, we'll need the help of Zhang Shidi and Luo Shimei's families."

As remnants of the old universe, the Nine Provinces lacked the ability to nurture Void Beasts.

He sensed an invisible force landing on his "true self."

...

In that instant, his perception, guided by an unseen force, traversed endless time and space, catching a glimpse of the "world order."

Then, a mountain appeared in Ji Jingqiu's vision.

Next was the site selection and construction of the temple.

Behind him, the battle spirits seemed to dance, and the flames of war burned in his chest.

However, in the Floating Hell Province, where dark mist prevailed, not even hegemonic-level forces dared to venture into the second tier, as every night, the mysterious mist would appear.

He glanced sideways, as if crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, his gaze colliding with another's across the vastness of time and space.

Ji Jingqiu saw his name, stroke by stroke, appearing on the stele.

Everything was deteriorating.

In the Heaven Reach Arena, each battle could only have one survivor, though dangerous, dancing on the blade's edge remained the fastest way to evolve.

Under the flawless light, the dark mist of the Abyss Sea, which made countless powerful beings fear, was like snow meeting the sun, forced to retreat step by step, returning behind the gate!

The ethereal gate, rooted in the void, opened wide for him.

Suddenly, she glanced sideways, sensing an ethereal connection, and her mental power rose, responding to someone's gaze.

His bronze-toned skin was etched with scars like chiseled by knives and axes, a testament to his glory and battle records.

The crux of the Forbidden Sequence lies in the word "sequence."

It was the appearance of the Mysterious Fog that allowed Hela of the past to rapidly spread the Mother Goddess Church under the name of "protection," with its tendrils once covering the entire Floating Hell Province.

[I recently heard that someone from the Beast Sea, while challenging the Forbidden Sequence, encountered the Dark Sea Mist.]



[As for the Sky God Tribe and Hunter Gods Corporation... Haha, after fighting for so many years, how have they not decided on a winner yet?]



A heart-palpitating aura began to permeate.

But the Nine Provinces is different from the Great Universe. It's too "small," and the once-dominant civilizations and tribes live side by side, inevitably leading to constant competition.

"I'm not sure, but we should report this to His Majesty the War Emperor. The appearance of an Ultimate Warrior from the Forbidden Sequence will affect our plans on the Ancient Path."

"That's the situation." Ji Jingqiu's gaze involuntarily turned to the banner beside him.

Qian Chong expressed regret, "Yes, he was the Beast Sea's most successful attempt in recent years, but in the end, he still failed."

Has he arrived?!

The Beast Sea, a hegemonic power on par with the Nine Palaces, was initially founded by three top-tier bloodlines of Void Beasts. At their peak, they possessed ten peak-condition Void Beasts, making them one of the top two powers in the Nine Provinces.

Unless something unexpected happens, the one summoning them is likely a visitor from Senior He's homeland! [That's right, you stay here for now. When he returns to the Nine Provinces, you'll take him back to the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace and prepare for the Ancient Path. His goal is to challenge the rankings of the Eternal Steles.]



A young man, bare-chested, exuded a vigorous and wild vitality from every defined muscle.

While Void Beasts can reproduce offspring, their bloodlines gradually degenerate, with each generation weaker than the last.

...

His demeanor was rough and domineering, yet also deep and restrained. His sharp gaze could perceive the essence of all things.

A voice of surprise reached his ears; it was Mu Yi.

Nowadays, the situation in the Nine Provinces seems as stable as ever, but in the eyes of top-tier powers like the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace—

Ever since this young man crossed into the Forbidden Sequence a year ago, he has been unmatched in this realm. No one else can make him feel this excited! Another Ultimate Warrior from the Forbidden Sequence has emerged in this world!

One method is to use the gaps opened by the Abyss Sea to return, but this path is only suitable for Ultimate Warriors.

Within him, it's as if a gentle radiant sun is blooming, not domineering, but giving a sense of embracing all things, as if everyone can find their true nature in this light.

For martial artists, only through confrontations with strong enemies can they truly shine and see the higher realms.

This made Ji Jingqiu feel a bit disappointed.

Yang Yao stroked his chin, his gaze weary. "It's been so fast, has he already become 'My Star Lord's Junior Brother'? 'Jingqiu, are you planning to turn this planet into your dojo?" Yang Yan asked.

The hanging branches went silent for a moment.

Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi's eyes were lost in thought, as if wandering in the vast void.

The Far East War Zone encompasses the Floating Hell Province, the Oasis, and half of the Southern Wasteland Province, housing thousands of civilizations and powers.

He suddenly looked up.

"Incredible, could it be someone from the Nine Palaces? Or perhaps they don't belong to the Floating Hell Province."

"Don't worry, we have Heaven's Destiny on our side. He has cultivated His Majesty's Ultimate Battle Intention Sutra and can suppress all waves of fate!"

It was just a fleeting moment.

"Yes, Mu Yi, I recently achieved Martial Dao See God and successfully crossed the battle power forbidden threshold." Ji Jingqiu said calmly, "It seems I triggered some special rule, allowing me to sense the resonance of some powerful enemies. But there are too few strong enemies; the martial artists of this generation in the Nine Provinces are weaker than I expected."

The Nine Provinces is known for the coexistence of countless tribes, and most of these powers migrated from the Great Universe. They were either once dominant in the Great Universe or came as affiliated forces.

[This era is different from the past, and some checkpoints are inevitable, hence the appearance of Little Smart.]



Crossing the Forbidden Sequence is not the same as entering the Forbidden Sequence. He's hearing this for the first time!

The young man sitting across from him laughed, "Sure, sure, but can you handle the pressure from the Sky God Tribe?"

They were both Ji Jingqiu's fellow disciples at Yang Yan's dojo.

The Abyss Sea, the Realm Mountains...

He paused and said:

Her brows and eyes were like a painting, a peerless beauty, her skin translucent, radiating an immortal divine radiance.

And he, using the corpses of 1000 winners as his ladder, became the undisputed champion of the Heaven Reach Arena in this generation. He even crossed the forbidden threshold and became the disciple of the War Emperor, the backstage owner of the Heaven Reach Arena.

Is this era different?

Another method is to create a "transit zone" on the Great Universe side. As long as they can live there for more than ten years, the imprint can be washed away.

The gateway to the Nine Provinces is too important. Even with the initiative in their hands, they must heavily guard it.

Chapter: The Dragon Tiger Dojo's Power

Half of the Dragon Tiger Dojo's strength was deemed insufficient by Qingyang Ancestor, but it was not the right time to make it public, so it had to be left for another day.

As Ji Jingqiu stepped out of the passageway, he was about to take a deep breath of the Nine Provinces' air when a heart-stirring sensation coursed through him, like an electric current, instantly connecting every inch of his body.

In the next moment, an invisible force turned into silk threads, linking him with certain individuals.

One of them was a young man with a commanding presence. He stood tall, gazing up at the ethereal void, his expression calm, unafraid of the sudden appearance of this deadly phenomenon.

When she was quiet, her sacred and majestic aura exuded a sanctity that was beyond profanation.

...

This once-pure land was now withering.

At the heart of the steel city, extending to the horizon, stood a towering skyscraper that reached up to the heavens.

The invisible confrontation came to an end.

Mu Qing took over, expressing calmly, "This kind of person doesn't need to be worried about. They want to rely on the special rules of the ancient path to suppress the tribulation and even if they can cross the forbidden gate, they still can't enter the forbidden sequence."

"Is this money from the Dragon Tiger Dojo?" Yang Yao asked tentatively, thinking to himself, "How much money did the city renovation cost?"

This time, the notification was, "Congratulations on Ji Jingqiu's ascension to the Jade Capital, and for obtaining the True Seed for eternity!"

Therefore, they must seek a trustworthy party to forge an alliance.

It stood silently amidst the flow of time, witnessing countless generations of change and transformation, silent and voiceless.

He did not fear powerful enemies, but rather, he lamented their scarcity.

For the Void Beast, bloodline was both honor and shackle.

"The overall situation remains unchanged, which means those old guys are still alive? Are there any peerless geniuses in the Far East worth paying attention to?"

Needless to say, Hunter Gods Corporation was initially formed by various enemy Sky God Tribe civilizations.

The Sky God Tribe seemed like a single civilization, but in reality, they also had numerous subordinate tribes.

...

Ji Jingqiu looked towards Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi.

"Who can make Heavenly Destiny burn so fiercely? Is it Jiang Tunhai or Yu Tan?"

The portal in the void quickly closed, its movements swift as if it were just a passing moment.

But as soon as he stepped into the Nine Provinces, he triggered the forbidden tribulation?! For a moment, Qian Chong's heart burned with urgency, wondering how this forbidden tribulation could be crossed so hastily! Returning to the Nine Palaces and preparing thoroughly before attempting it again wouldn't be too late!

In the heyday of the ancient royal city, although it couldn't be ranked among the top-tier empires, it still belonged to the second tier.

In the top-floor office, an elder sat majestically, his eyes containing the scene of the sun, moon, and stars, exuding ancient wisdom and solemnity, his expression revealing neither joy nor sorrow, but a solemnity akin to a deity.

Ji Jingqiu noticed a middle-aged man approaching with an intense gaze and fiery expression.

Qian Chong's thoughts raced, as if entering the ancient path and trying to break through the threshold, a clever way to avoid the forbidden tribulation, a method with historical precedents, but never with any issues...

"I sense an invincible might above Jiang Tunhai and a dominance beyond Heavenly Destiny. This will be a formidable opponent."

"The Northern Azure Commerce Alliance?"

The elder glared, "Hmph, this old man is tougher than you think!"

"But I'm not sure if there's someone 'who has the qualifications to challenge the forbidden sequence, but out of fear of the tribulation, chooses to suppress it, and tries to break through when heading to the ancient path'?"

"Another companion on the journey." She spoke to herself, her voice like celestial music.

They nodded eagerly, their expressions excited, clearly understanding the significance of her words.

"Perhaps, a peerless genius has been born in this world, one who has entered the forbidden sequence."

The banner from last time had been replaced again.

But at this moment, the elder's words were a bit less serious.

Qian Chong pondered for a moment, "From our observations over the years, no one in the Oasis has entered the forbidden sequence. As for the Southern Wilderness, it's not within our sight, and as for the Floating Hell Province..."

A light that wasn't scorching rose slowly in the forest ahead.

...

Inside Yang Yan's Martial Arts Hall.

He clenched his fist, slowly striking towards the boundless distance, as if making a pact with someone, a fate that was sealed.

This renovation mainly involved the lower-tier regions.

Ji Jingqiu slowly withdrew his gaze.

The Dark Sea Mist's intrusion.

Compared to the vastness of the Nine Provinces and the countless powerful tribes residing here, this number could only be described as pitiful.

Mu Qing had anticipated that Ji Jingqiu could cross the threshold of the forbidden, but she never expected that Ji Jingqiu wouldn't need any guidance and would voluntarily step into the forbidden sequence! What surprised her even more was that Ji Jingqiu had displayed a never-before-seen divine ability, effortlessly dispelling the Dark Sea Mist that even Ultimate Warriors dreaded!

"What you've done... is excellent! Beyond my expectations! Compared to last time, your invincible momentum has truly taken shape, indicating that you've initially found your invincible path."

"I hope you can showcase Ah He's brilliance on the ancient path, pushing through and fighting all the way to the deepest part!"

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu clearly sensed the emotional fluctuations in Mu Qing, no longer the kind and amiable, but excited, nostalgic, and filled with strong anticipation!

Yesterday's Chapter and there will be another chapter later, possibly at 3 am, everyone can read it tomorrow morning.

(End of Chapter)
