210: Sweeping across the five continents

The Sect Master of the Nine Yin Sect, a gaunt figure enveloped in a wide black robe, spoke in an eerie voice: "Palace Revered Master, this boy is truly bizarre."

"According to reports from our scouts, he possesses a magical treasure mirror capable of seeing through falsehoods, leaving our clansmen with nowhere to hide."

"Moreover, his rise is too rapid, his cultivation level is increasing unreasonably, and the resources in his hands seem inexhaustible... Your subordinate suspects that he has very likely discovered some ancient ruin and obtained a Heaven-Defying Legacy and Treasure Trove!"

The Gu Revered Master of the Heaven Refining Gu Sect, a burly man covered in various strange poisonous insects, rumbled: "That's right! If the Eastern Wasteland is allowed to develop at this speed, with the resources and means at that boy's disposal, it is by no means impossible for him to cultivate a powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage! By then, our Demon Nether Domain will be attacked from both sides!"

The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, a beautiful woman with natural seductive charm and flowing eyes, lightly licked her red lips, but her tone was heavy: "Those hypocrites in the Southern Continent have always been eyeing our Demon Nether Domain covetously; if not for the Palace Revered Master and the Old Ancestor holding the fort, they would have invaded in full force long ago."

"If the Eastern Wasteland produces another Tribulation Transcendence expert, forming a pincer attack, our Demon Nether Domain will be in danger!"

The Sect Master of the Blood Transformation Sect, a red-haired giant exuding a thick, bloody Aura, roared irritably: "Then what are we waiting for! While that boy's wings are not yet fully formed and no Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator has appeared in the Eastern Wasteland, let's assemble our armies and directly trample the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Seize his Opportunity! If we can obtain that treasure mirror and the ruin's Treasure Trove, the strength of our Demon Nether Domain will surely skyrocket, and then what will we have to fear from the Southern Continent?"

The newly appointed Sect Master of the Sacred Demon Sect gritted his teeth even harder; their Sect had suffered the heaviest losses and they hated Chen Yuan and the Eastern Wasteland to the bone: "I beseech the Palace Revered Master to give the order! My Sacred Demon Sect is willing to serve as the vanguard and wash away our humiliation!"

The purple flames in the eyes of the You Sha Demon Venerable flickered violently, clearly weighing the situation intensely.

The integration and rise of the Eastern Wasteland had indeed touched the bottom line of the Demon Nether Domain and constituted a substantial threat. The 'secrets' and 'resources' on Chen Yuan made them covetous beyond measure.

"We cannot wait any longer." The You Sha Demon Venerable finally made a decision, his voice filled with chilling killing intent, "Pass down my decree: Assemble the elites of the five Sects, mobilize the army of Demon Servants, let the five of you lead them personally, and I shall oversee the battle myself!"

"In half a day, march to the Eastern Wasteland! The primary target is to destroy the Eastern Profound Hall, capture Chen Yuan alive, and seize all the Opportunities and treasures in his hands!"

"In this battle, we must strike quickly and decisively. Before the Southern Continent can react, we must completely resolve this thorn in our side that is the Eastern Wasteland!"

"We obey the Palace Revered Master's decree!" The five Sect Masters replied in unison, their eyes filled with greed and bloodlust.

A plan targeting the Eastern Wasteland and Chen Yuan was already being meticulously brewed in the Demon Nether Domain.

Eastern Profound Hall, Main Hall.

Previously, the Eastern Profound Hall mainly selected Disciples from within the four major Sects. Although this ensured basic strength, it also limited the absorption of broader talent.

"The layout needs to be bigger."

Chen Yuan summoned the Old Ancestors of the four Sects and the current high-level officials of the Hall to the main hall of the Eastern Profound Hall to announce his decision: "Effective immediately, the Eastern Profound Hall will open its gates wide to the entire Eastern Wasteland to recruit Disciples!"

"Regardless of background or region, anyone with an inclination towards the Dao and decent Aptitude may come to participate in the assessment!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked upon hearing this.

Chen Yuan continued to deploy, his voice steady and filled with majesty: "To ensure the smooth progress of this Disciple-recruitment ceremony and to use this Opportunity to spread the order of the Eastern Profound Hall to every inch of the Eastern Wasteland, I have decided that within one month, we shall establish branches of the Eastern Profound Hall in every continent, every prefecture, every county, and even every important city in the Eastern Wasteland!"

He scanned the people standing solemnly below: "Each branch will not only be responsible for the preliminary selection of local Disciples and transporting talent upwards but will also be responsible for maintaining local order, monitoring illegal activities, and conveying the Hall Revered Master's decrees."

"I want the banner of the Eastern Profound Hall to be planted all over the Eastern Wasteland, and for the Hall's rules and Laws to be deeply rooted in people's hearts!"

Regarding specific personnel, Chen Yuan appointed his own Old Ancestor as the General Elder in charge of the recruitment affairs.

At the same time, each Sect must send two highly respected Core Elders and dozens of capable Inner Sect Elders to go to various places to preside over the construction of branches and the selection of Disciples.

"Resources and manpower will be uniformly allocated by the main hall. You must build a network covering the entire Eastern Wasteland within one month!"

Chen Yuan's order was unquestionable, carrying an Aura that swept across the world. Everyone took their orders, shocked by Chen Yuan's grand gesture.

After discussing the specific details with the Old Ancestors and high-level officials of the Sects, Chen Yuan came to a quiet side hall next to the main hall. A cold, ethereal figure had already been waiting here; it was his Revered Master, Leng Youmeng.

Looking at Chen Yuan, who walked with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger, his whole body subtly in harmony with heaven and earth, a trace of complexity and trance flashed in Leng Youmeng's cold eyes.

Once upon a time, this was still the Disciple under her seat who needed her protection, but now he already stood at the Peak of the Eastern Wasteland, his words becoming Law, with none daring to disobey.

"Yuan'er... no, perhaps I should call you Hall Revered Master now."

Leng Youmeng's voice carried a hint of imperceptible sighing, "Your changes are too great."

Chen Yuan walked to her side and naturally took her slightly cool jade hand: "No matter what status I have, you will always be my Revered Master, my little Meng baby."

He pulled her to the window and looked out at the boundless horizon in the distance.

"Revered Master, what do you think my next plan should be?"

Leng Youmeng pondered for a moment and said: "Integrating the Eastern Wasteland has already cost you countless efforts. Now that the Eastern Profound Hall is newly established, with a hundred things waiting to be done, you should stabilize the Foundation and plan slowly."

"The Demon Nether Domain in the south is eyeing us covetously; they are by no means easy to deal with."

Chen Yuan shook his head slowly upon hearing this, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Void Realm to see even more distant places. An Aura of looking down on the world arose spontaneously from him.

"Stabilizing the Eastern Wasteland is just the first step."

He raised his hand to point south, then north, his voice not loud but deafening, "My goal has never been just this one continent. What I want is this world!"

"I want the name of the Eastern Profound Hall to resound throughout the four seas and eight wildernesses; I want my will to become the Law of this world!"

"Unifying the world?!"

Leng Youmeng's body trembled, her beautiful eyes wide open, looking at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

This goal was too terrifying, exceeding all her imagination. The unification of the Eastern Wasteland was already an unprecedented feat in history; unifying the world?

How many terrifying forces would one need to face? She took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in her heart, and her tone was extremely solemn:

"Yuan'er, do you know about the Divine Continent? I traveled there when I was young; that is the true Holy Land for practitioners!"

"Any random second-grade Sect there might have the background and strength to sweep through our entire Eastern Wasteland! Not to mention those super-grade forces standing at the Peak, possessing 'Everlasting Beings'!"

She grabbed Chen Yuan's arm tightly: "After Undergoing Tribulation, there are the legendary Immortals! Those are terrifying existences who truly live as long as heaven and earth and wield the Law! How can we be their enemy?"

Chen Yuan felt Leng Youmeng's worry and shock, but he did not retreat; instead, an even more intense flame burned in his eyes. He gently held her shoulders, his gaze still firmly looking into the distance.

"Immortals... so what?"

"It is precisely because there are mountains on the road ahead that we need to climb them even more."

"Whether it is the Divine Continent or the Everlasting Beings, one day, they will hear the name of the Eastern Profound Hall, and they will understand... who is the true Dominator of this world."

His voice was calm but confident, making Leng Youmeng forget to speak for a moment, just staring blankly at his determined profile.
