173: Go to Nitian Pavilion

After a few days of warm, comfortable, and harmonious life on the ground, everyone was relaxed and at ease.

Even Wen Ruyu came out of the Ling Tian Pagoda to gather with everyone for two days, then re-entered the Ling Tian Pagoda to cultivate again. This time, not only Wen Ruyu went in, but also Xie Nanqiao.

One day, a Quasi-God Realm White Striped Tiger arrived in the Cage Domain and found Xun Xiuyuan.

It informed Xiuyuan that Hei Bu Guan had already consolidated the three domains, and all Quasi-God Realm and above Ghost Clan members from the three domains had arrived at the Ghost Clan's great city in the Orchid Domain.

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and immediately rushed to the Beast Domain, leading the Quasi-God Realm and above powerhouses from the White Striped Tiger, Golden Feather Eagle, and Heaven Splitting Ape clans to the Orchid Domain.

Wei Tieshan remained as violent as ever, directly tearing open a passage, and everyone entered the Orchid Domain directly.

The Ghost Clan's great city was called Orchid City.

A cold, dark world with a poetic and picturesque name.

Looking at the city's name, then at the dim sky and falling snowflakes, the contrast was unparalleled.

Inside a massive council hall, Xun Xiuyuan sat in the highest seat, with Wei Tieshan and Hei Bu Guan seated to his left and right.

Everyone else listened from below.

Xun Xiuyuan skipped the pleasantries and directly began to speak of Hei Bu Guan's plan, then sat quietly, observing the reactions below.

It was very calm; the calmness of the three domains he had occupied was understandable, as they were all controlled by the Soul Control Technique.

However, the Ghost Clan from the three domains brought by Hei Bu Guan were also so calm, which still surprised Xun Xiuyuan.

He turned to glance at Hei Bu Guan beside him; one truly couldn't judge a book by its cover. This fellow had strong leadership abilities, and his prestige in the three domains was probably very high.

At Xun Xiuyuan's Hint, Hei Bu Guan spoke, saying, “My plan is very simple. The three major powers are still behemoths to us right now. For the time being, we don't have the ability to attack them. First, we will consolidate all the internal forces that can be mobilized, conquering the scattered, individual domains around us one by one. I can handle this matter.”

Hei Bu Guan paused here, looking at Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan smiled, saying, “We share the same goal, just speak directly.”

Hei Bu Guan no longer hesitated, saying, “Among the three major powers, the Defying Heaven Pavilion is occupied by humans. I hope Master can personally go there. The goal is not high; we must not become enemies.”

“With the Defying Heaven Pavilion not participating, we will directly bypass the behemoth that is Ghost Valley in the middle and seek out the Beast Alliance. If we can occupy the Beast Alliance, then the subsequent plan will be decided. If we cannot occupy the Beast Alliance, then everything is off the table.”

Wei Tieshan looked at Hei Bu Guan with a playful glint in his eyes: “Why is the first opponent the Beast Alliance? Didn't you say the Beast Alliance is much more powerful than the Defying Heaven Pavilion?”

Hei Bu Guan was not flustered in the slightest: “Although the Defying Heaven Pavilion appears weaker on the surface, they are united. They are difficult to break through. While the Beast Alliance is powerful, it is a disorganized mess. As long as the situation is handled properly, it should be the easiest of the three major powers to take down.”

After listening, Xun Xiuyuan also nodded, agreeing with Hei Bu Guan's assessment.

Because Hei Bu Guan's plan was basically the same as what Ghost Elder had said, and furthermore, he was controlled by the Soul Control Technique, so there would be no problem with his loyalty.

After the plan was finalized, Xun Xiuyuan said to Hei Bu Guan, “I won't mention the Six Regions for now, but if you discover spirit veins in other domains, try your best to acquire them.”

Upon hearing this, Hei Bu Guan thought Xun Xiuyuan was giving him a hint, and immediately took out nearly ten spirit veins from his spatial equipment, handing them to Xun Xiuyuan, saying, “This subordinate happens to have some. Master can use them first.”

Xun Xiuyuan hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise and smiled as he accepted them: “The more the better.”

The main reason the humans of the Initial Domain were banished to the Cage Domain was because their cultivation talent was too heaven-defying.

In fact, looking at Xie Nanqiao's advancement, and then Wen Ruyu's advancement, it's not hard to see how powerful the mid-tier strength of the Cage Domain would become after a period of development.

However, the prerequisite for strength is resources. Originally, Xun Xiuyuan's cultivation only required battle. If Xun Xiuyuan were alone now, it would be simple.

But Xun Xiuyuan's responsibilities were growing, which was quite helpless.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't want this either, but step by step, he had come to this point, and it was all voluntary. Perhaps with the passage of time, everyone's life goals would change with the advance of time.

Xun Xiuyuan thought helplessly.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan say this, Hei Bu Guan also nodded and said, “Master, rest assured! This subordinate understands.”

Xun Xiuyuan then said, “To conquer the scattered domains around us, is the strength of the Six Regions enough? Elder Wei is coming with me to the Defying Heaven Pavilion, so don't even think about using him.”

Hei Bu Guan shook his head and smiled, “Why would we need a master like Elder Wei? I can lead the people from the three domains myself.”

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, and finally used the Soul Control Technique on all the Quasi-God Realm and above individuals from the three later domains.

Spending some exotic beast value to buy peace of mind.

Lest he leave and the backyard catches fire.

After arranging everything, Xun Xiuyuan and Wei Tieshan directly left the Lan Hua Domain. The two did not return to the Beast Domain.

Instead, they flew directly westward.

Xun Xiuyuan could continuously teleport, but there was no need to.

Wei Tieshan was even more indifferent; for him, the primary goal was to protect Xun Xiuyuan's safety.

As for the situation in the Chaotic Realm, he was not very concerned.

In the void, there were dangerous places such as inexplicable spatial rifts and magnetic storm whirlpools.

For Xun Xiuyuan, who was traveling long distances in the void for the first time, it was very novel.

They flew for over ten days, and during those ten days of flying, they didn't encounter many domains.

It's important to know that under normal circumstances, the distance between two ordinary domains is very far; situations like the Cage Domain, Beast Domain, and Lan Hua Domain being connected are very rare.

In fact, from Ghost Elder's words, Xun Xiuyuan knew that the three domains were not originally together, but slowly approached and collided about a thousand years ago.

Xun Xiuyuan actually had a guess in his heart that the collision of the Cage Domain and the Beast Domain was very likely the work of the Ling Tian Pagoda, or perhaps a part of Ling Tian's plan to find disciples.

Wei Tieshan said, “The domain ahead, according to the map, belongs to Ghost Valley. If we want to pass through Ghost Valley to reach the Defying Heaven Pavilion, it will take at least another month of flying.”

Xun Xiuyuan said, “So big!”

Wei Tieshan chuckled, “It's not small, but if we constantly teleport, it will be very fast.”

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head and said, “No, we can't. The environment is unfamiliar. If we teleport into someone's lair, it would be difficult to explain and would definitely cause conflict. Hei Bu Guan's plan is to temporarily avoid conflict with Ghost Valley. We shouldn't disrupt his plan.”

Wei Tieshan liked Xun Xiuyuan's cautious nature; this was very similar to Ling Tian.

Then his eyes dimmed. Even the most cautious person couldn't guard against betrayal from within.

A wisp of Ling Tian's soul, left in the War God Hall, once informed the War God Hall members that his demise was the result of a collusion between high-ranking human officials and the Extraterritorial Evil Race, after which the wisp of soul dissipated.

“Since that's the case, then we'll fly slowly. You can also familiarize yourself with the void; the Extraterritorial Battlefield is all within the void.”

Wei Tieshan cast aside that hint of discomfort in his heart and smiled as he agreed to Xun Xiuyuan's words.
