Although the main forces of the Stillwater Continent were able to borrow the Void Origin Pearl to escape the most tragic blow during the Battle of Lu Chen on Everbright Island, countless disciples had died in the nearly two hundred years of the Demon Subduing War. The Divine Guards, the Spirit Heavens, and the Divine Front armies had accumulated 40 to 50 million soldiers who had died on the battlefield.

Over the past few years, the number of people lost in the Western Continent of Tianjun had reached tens of billions.

Even though he had a psychological expectation of these things, when he thought of the familiar faces, he might never be able to see them again in this life. Chen Xun’s heartache was so intense that it was hard for him to suppress it.

In the end, only Li Sanli (mother) and Li Wuli (mother) survived; Among the six dragons, Jiao Pingjiang and Jiao Haichao died in battle; Even Su Qingying accidentally died during the Demon Subduing War. I wonder where she was reincarnated …

Compared to the Southern Sea Immortal Palace, the ancient Jiang Clan suffered a devastating blow. The Heavenly Dao Sect, Brahma Heaven Palace Sect, Shentu Clan, and Spirit Ruins Sect were destroyed. The casualties in Stillwater Continent were not considered heavy. The retreat to the Cloud Desolate Mountain and Cloud Continent was relatively complete and did not suffer a crushing blow.

Although the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm and the small thousand worlds of Kunzhou were captured by the demons, when they retreated from Snowdragon Mountain, the four million elites of the Divine Guards Legion Corps led by Zong Ya, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng, Qing King Jiang Lan, and Wu Yi directly retreated into Yunzhou State with the Nine Prisons Divine King Demon Execution Chariot.

At that time, considering the possibility that the demons would invade the Lesser Heaven Domain, Yun Zhou was likely to become the first target of the demons.

Afterwards, the demons reconstructed their spatial passageways in the Southern Court Ridge and Black Yin Ridge of Cloud Continent. They dispatched tens of millions of demon soldiers and generals to invade. However, due to the restriction of the Grand Heavenly Dao, the Demon Lord level demon race experts were unable to enter Cloud Continent. After several incursions, the demon race army was forced back by the Divine Guards.

After the Ancestral Dragon Mountain and Cloud Desolate Ridge re-established their spatial passageway, the Cloud Desolate Ridge could send a large number of disciples to reinforce Yun Zhou at any time. The demon army was forced to temporarily withdraw from Yun Zhou, but Yun Zhou did not have the ability to recapture the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

Although there had been several battles and nearly a billion mortals had been killed or injured, Cloud Continent had not suffered a devastating blow and had survived.

**************************

After hearing Tao Jinghong mention the latest situation in Cloud Continent and Tian Jun, Chen Xun remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed, “The Blood Sea Demon Tribulation lasted for 200 years. Tian Jun’s cultivation resources should be extremely scarce. How did Tao shi reach the Third Realm of Nirvana? How far did Martial Uncle Crimson Pine, Martial Uncle Hu, Chang Xi, Ji Shi, Zuo Qingmu, Su, Su Shousi, and Qiqian Mountain also cultivate?”

“After you were ambushed by the Six-Armed Witch and lost in the void, Chang Xi returned to Thundercloud Island and decided to fuse with the Primordial Embryo of the Qi Serpent Demon. Although she already has the cultivation of the seventh stage of Nirvana, the situation is a bit strange. You will know when you return to Cloud Barren Mountain …”

Chen Xun sighed slightly. Although Chang Xi had refined the Great Snake Demon into an avatar outside her body, because the Great Snake Demon’s origin soul had already passed the six tribulations, it was at the Six Tribulations Demon Embryo Realm, far higher than Chang Xi’s divine soul cultivation.

Chang Xi’s cultivation was not high, so forcefully fusing with the Primordial Embryo of the Qi Serpent Great Demon was equivalent to a child forcefully lifting a heavy object that far exceeded what she could withstand. How could it not have a negative effect?

The negative effects would even be extremely serious, but as long as Chang Xi didn’t die in the Blood Sea Demon Tribulation, everything would be fine.

“In addition, after learning that you were trapped in the void, the former master also gave me six divine soul marks, Chi Songzi, Huoyizi, Zhao Cheng’en, Ji Lie, and Beixuan Jia-after two hundred years, Beixuan Jia and I entered the third stage of Nirvana, and Chi Songzi, Ji Lie, Huoyizi, and Zhao Cheng’en also entered the second stage of Nirvana, all staying at the initial stage of Nirvana. Other than that, everyone else lacked sufficient resources, and it was very difficult for their cultivation to break through the bottleneck. During the Battle of Lu Chen on Yongming Island, Cloud Continent’s Ancestral Dragon perished, but Emperor Xi Wu comprehended the Grand Heavenly Dao at the critical moment, cultivated the Heavenly Dao Azure Dragon, and led the remnants of his forces to withdraw from Yongming Island. In the following 200 years, he also succeeded in two consecutive tribulations, cultivating to the Fourth Rebirth Realm … ”

“So that’s how it is,” Chen Xun sighed emotionally. The Great Dao Divine Soul Mark that Master Qingniu had given him was enough to benefit Tao Jinghong and the others greatly, even if it only condensed a small amount of his comprehension of the Great Dao.

Tao Jinghong and Bei Xuanjia had the highest aptitudes. They had obtained the Grand Dao Divine Spirit Mark from their master. Before cultivating into the Middle Three Realms of Nirvana, they didn’t have to worry that they wouldn’t be able to suppress the great calamity of wind and fire. They had cultivated to the Third Realm of Nirvana in 200 years, and their speed was not even considered fast. The main reason was that they were in the midst of the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation and could not concentrate on cultivating.

As for the Northern Profound Armor, it was only after the remnant soul that Fang Xiaohan left behind in the Profound Armament Seal in his previous life gave birth to his own spiritual sense that he became an independent individual. However, Fang Xiaohan himself did not expect that he would leave behind a bloodline descendant in this way, did he?

Of course, the cost of splitting the Grand Dao Divine Soul Mark was extremely shocking. Chen Xun had a deep understanding of this. He thought to himself that it would take a long time for a master to split out six Divine Soul Marks at a time, and he might be able to recover his cultivation to the fifth and sixth stages of Nirvana Realm, and he would be knocked back to the level of the initial stage of Nirvana Realm.

Afterwards, if the Azure Bull Immortal Master wanted to recover this portion of his lost cultivation, he might need to spend more time cultivating. However, Chen Xun believed that when the Azure Bull Immortal Master made this decision, he had made a trade-off.

Within the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation, a Middle Three Realms Nirvana Realm expert could only play a relatively limited role.

Moreover, before the Azure Ox Priest Master could recover to the peak of Middle Three Realms, he could not directly reconstruct his fleshly body, so he could not walk out of the Yi Clan’s secret hall at will.

“Did Jiang Chen Ge, the Jiang Clan’s Patriarch, succeed in reincarnating?” Chen Xun asked.

If he really returned to Samsara, he wouldn’t know which world he would reincarnate into, and if he couldn’t awaken his memories even in his ninth life, then he would completely obliterate everyone and have nothing to do with his previous life.

Of course, if Jiang Chengge doesn’t show up now, it’s very likely that he’s hiding somewhere to cultivate. He’s afraid that if he doesn’t have enough cultivation, he’ll be harmed by an adulterer if he comes out too early.

However, before Jiang Chengge appeared, the remaining forces of the Jiang clan had become a pile of scattered sand.

**********************

Three months later, the Nebula Boat and the Stunning Rainbow Boat arrived at the small world of Kunzhou.

Kunzhou was originally the Little Thousand Heavens Domain controlled by Cloud Continent. Tian was sealed here. It was first captured by the demons more than 40 years ago. Hundreds of millions of creatures were slaughtered, and in just 20 to 30 years, it had turned into a deathly silent Heavens Domain.

After the demon army left, Tao Jinghong and the others secretly built a new spatial passage between Cloud Continent and Kunzhou in order to enter the depths of the Star System and search for the copper pillar of lightning that had been floating in the depths of the Star System for countless years.

In this way, Tao Jinghong, Zhao Liangchen, and the other two sects’ disciples would be able to bypass the Nine Heavens Spirit Wind Layer that blocked Cloud Continent, bypass the field of vision of the demon army, and directly enter the boundless starfield through the spatial passageway of Kunzhou.

The entrance to the passageway was located at the bottom of a large rift valley. It was very concealed and had been closed for most of the time. Unless the demons were able to obtain clear information, it would be extremely difficult to discover the existence of the spatial passageway from outside Kunming State.
