Racing eastward, several days later.
Ye Fan, accompanied by Wuma Changkong, Wuma Xian'er, Lang Sun Chuan, and ten thousand elite disciples from the Supreme Demon Sect, finally arrived at their destination: Barrier Mountain, the easternmost point.
This was the edge beyond the Eastern Wilderness.
In the Azure Wave Continent, the four cardinal directions were defined.
The Southern Region belonged to the Demoness's territory.
The Northern Region encompassed the Riotous Immortal Sea and Overseas Immortal Island.
The Western Capital Shengjing was directly governed by the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom.
And at the very eastern edge, beyond Barrier Mountain, lay the Eastern Wilderness.
This was also the destination of Ye Fan and his companions.
When Ye Fan and his group arrived, the area beneath Barrier Mountain was already bustling with people; many forces had gathered there.
In addition to the strong members of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, Azure Wave Emperor Qing Shengyu had also led nearly ten thousand powerful individuals to this location.
There were also the White Jade Dragon Sovereign from the White Jade Dragon Palace and Nangong Xuandie and Yu Qingfeng from Sky Edge Pavilion.
They too had brought a considerable number of strong individuals. However, given the strength of the White Jade Dragon Palace and Sky Edge Pavilion, their numbers seemed somewhat lacking compared to others.
Their presence felt diminished as their groups stood together, appearing somewhat isolated on the side.
"Young Friend Ye Fan has arrived!"
"I have met Lord Wuma."
Seeing Ye Fan and the strong members of the Supreme Demon Sect arrive, White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie quickly stepped forward to greet them and bowed to Wuma Changkong.
"Mm."
Wuma Changkong's gaze merely swept lightly over Nangong Xuandie, and with a grunt, he walked directly toward Azure Wave Emperor and Dugu Laomo.
They were figures of the same caliber, which is why they shared a common language.
As for White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie, in Wuma Changkong's eyes, they held little weight.
"Sister Xuandie, Azure Dragon Emperor." Ye Fan smiled as he approached the two.
"You all chat." Wuma Xian'er said to Ye Fan with a smile, then led several other Late Stage of God Slaying experts to find a place for the Supreme Demon Sect members to settle down.
After all, with over ten thousand people, even standing in place required a certain amount of space.
Only Lang Sun Chuan remained beside Ye Fan, respectfully standing behind him.
"Young Friend Ye Fan, may I ask who this senior is?"
Noticing Lang Sun Chuan standing respectfully behind Ye Fan, White Jade Dragon Sovereign couldn't help but ask.
Ye Fan smiled and replied, "He is a disciple I took in at the Supreme Demon Sect."
"What? You have taken in a disciple?"
White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie exchanged glances, both showing a hint of disbelief.
They could clearly sense an overwhelming pressure emanating from Lang Sun Chuan.
It was evident that Lang Sun Chuan's strength far surpassed theirs.
Yet Ye Fan claimed that he was one of his disciples!
It was truly hard to believe.
Noticing the shocked expressions on White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie, Lang Sun Chuan couldn't help but let out a slight snort. "In the path of cultivation, the capable take precedence. My master's abilities far exceed my own; what is so strange about me taking him as my teacher?"
Feeling the coldness in Lang Sun Chuan's tone, White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie were taken aback.
They quickly clasped their fists and smiled apologetically. "What you say is indeed true, we spoke out of turn. Please forgive us, senior..."
"Alas!"
Ye Fan frowned slightly and turned to Lang Sun Chuan, speaking with irritation. "Azure Dragon Emperor and Sister Xuan Die are my friends. Why do you speak to them like that?"
Lang Sun Chuan was startled; the aloof demeanor he had just displayed before White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie vanished in an instant. He quickly lowered his voice, saying, "Master, I was wrong! Please don't be angry; I will apologize to them right away."
With that, Lang Sun Chuan looked up at White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie, genuinely preparing to clasp his fists in apology.
What is happening here?
He really is his disciple!
Seeing how Ye Fan's words had frightened Lang Sun Chuan so much, White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie were once again taken aback.
But to have Lang Sun Chuan apologize to himself?
Don't be ridiculous!
Lang Sun Chuan exuded an aura that commanded respect, and even the mere presence of him made White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie feel a chill run down their spines.
Although Ye Fan dared to suggest it, they did not have the courage to accept such an apology from a powerful figure like him.
Thus, White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie quickly stepped aside, speaking respectfully, "Senior, that would be too much for us!"
"Uh... Master, they..." Lang Sun Chuan pointed at the two who had retreated to the side.
Ye Fan waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Forget it; just be more careful in the future."
"Yes, Master. I will remember your teachings," Lang Sun Chuan replied with a grin, nodding respectfully.
This eased the tension for White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie.
"Ye Fan, about the matter I entrusted to you, have you mentioned it to Lord Wuma?" After a brief exchange, Nangong Xuandie suddenly asked through voice transmission.
Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly. Gratitude flickered in Nangong Xuandie's eyes.
…………
The Inner Domain was relatively farther away.
However, just as everyone was conversing, the Four Major Powers of the Inner Domain—Ten Thousand Seas Dragon Palace, Qilin Temple, Suspended King Sword Sect, and Ninefold Celestial Gate—arrived in full force.
In the vast void, countless figures and Sword Rain filled the air, creating a series of piercing sounds as they descended.
Draped in golden robes and wearing a Crown, the noble figure of the Wanjin Dragon Emperor walked at the forefront.
On her left and right sides were the Four Ancestors of Qilin Temple, Jin Shan from the Suspended King Sword Sect, Baili Qinghong from the Ninefold Celestial Gate, along with their respective powerful allies leading them into the immortal realm.
"Greetings, Wanjin Dragon Emperor."
As the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and her entourage approached, Wuma Changkong, Azure Wave Emperor Qing Shengyu, Dugu Laomo, and others all stepped forward to clasp their fists in respect.
Ye Fan and his companions also moved forward in greeting.
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
She then surveyed the strong individuals brought by everyone; there were quite a number of them.
Once everyone had exchanged pleasantries, the Wanjin Dragon Emperor turned her gaze toward Barrier Mountain ahead and calmly spoke, "Since everyone is prepared, shall we proceed to enter the Eastern Wilderness Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew serious as they looked toward the towering divine mountain before them.
Barrier Mountain earned its name for its endless expanse, stretching across countless billions of miles.
Its peaks soared high into the clouds, shrouded in mist and darkness, as if it were one with the heavens, forming a continuous line.
Like a natural barrier, it was thus referred to as Barrier Mountain.
"Whoosh..."
Everyone took a deep breath and then nodded solemnly.
"Since that's the case, all major forces and everyone present, let's set off immediately." The Wanjin Dragon Emperor soared into the air, flicking his sleeve, his imposing aura radiating as he spoke. He was the first to fly towards the peak of Barrier Mountain.
As long as they crossed the peak of Barrier Mountain, they would reach the other side, which was the Eastern Wilderness Secret Realm.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and the strong members of the Ten Thousand Seas Dragon Palace had already taken off, everyone from the various forces shouted in unison. In an instant, figures shot up into the sky, all rushing towards Barrier Mountain.
"Move."
Wuma Changkong glanced at Ye Fan.
"Once we enter the Eastern Wilderness, Sister Xuan Die should stay close to us." Ye Fan nodded and transmitted a message to Nangong Xuandie before moving towards Wuma Changkong and Wuma Xian'er, instantly taking flight as well.
Moments later, the combined forces of all major powers amounted to tens of thousands of people, all crossing Barrier Mountain and stepping into the Eastern Wilderness Secret Realm.
