432: Something happened in the Demon-Controlling Kingdom

Currently, the strength of the players is uneven, and the Legacies they possess are all different.

The Legacies available for purchase at fixed prices in the trading system only go up to the Fifth Grade; subsequent ones can only be obtained by spending high prices on items like "ancient treasure maps," "ancient storage rings," or "ancient stone tablets" to open blind boxes.

It is even possible to open nothing at all, getting absolutely nothing.

This results in it being extremely difficult for players to achieve a Breakthrough beyond the Fifth Grade.

In terms of cultivation, everyone practices the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage, which is the Five Elements Dao Lineage, and they are all stuck at the step of the Five Divine Abilities, unable to cross over to the Nascent Soul level.

In terms of the Hundred Arts, everyone is also stuck below the Fourth Grade, and Legacies higher than that are simply impossible to find.

The Ancient Battlefield of the East Sea is able to attract so many players, even to the point of building strongholds for long-term operations, precisely because it is very likely to produce sufficiently high-quality Legacies.

But after a prompt from Li Changfeng, Xiao Buyu immediately thought of a more convenient way to obtain them: the Qingling Sect.

"But, previously when we players conspired against the Qingling Sect, it ended in failure, and we were even almost spawn-camped at our Respawn Point...

"I don't think the Qingling Sect is an object we can conquer at the current stage."

Xiao Buyu was still very cautious.

Li Changfeng, however, noticed that he was clearly somewhat tempted and quickly said:

"It is precisely because the gap between us and True Lord Feng Chuan is large that we must seize the only opportunity we have!

"Think about it, there are not many players who currently know the situation at Sacred Emperor Mountain, so we can still maintain secrecy, but if we drag it out, Feng Chuan might eventually learn the detailed situation of Sacred Emperor Mountain.

"By then, wanting to plot against him will be even harder.

"Moreover, if we let Feng Chuan completely stabilize his cultivation, or even advance further and become a true Nascent Soul True Lord in name and deed, then it will be impossible to conquer the Qingling Sect!"

Relying solely on words, it was naturally difficult to completely sway Xiao Buyu.

Li Changfeng had no choice but to continue following him, paying out of his own pocket to fund his Formation setup, allowing him to gain some benefits.

He also discussed this matter with Wen Xinghai and others, and finally found a solution: find more Formation Masters to take over after Xiao Buyu constructs the core, which would free up his time.

Thus, Li Changfeng utilized his connections and financial resources to finally liberate Xiao Buyu from the tedious tasks.

"Good, let's head to Sacred Emperor Mountain now; we must set up the Formation there as soon as possible."

Li Changfeng's heart was pounding non-stop, feeling somewhat excited.

This was his most likely chance to plot against Feng Chuan.

The two headed north, moving at great speed.

But while passing by the Yuyao Kingdom, Xiao Buyu stopped abruptly and then looked around in astonishment.

Li Changfeng asked with some concern:

"What's wrong? This is, after all, within the territory of the Yuyao Kingdom. Although the Yuyao Kingdom's attitude toward us players is ambiguous, it is best not to linger here; who knows what might happen."

Xiao Buyu nodded: "I understand that, but... I need to confirm something."

With that said, he released his Spiritual Sense, covering as wide an area as possible.

Li Changfeng's eyelids twitched.

Within the territory of the Yuyao Kingdom, there were countless great demons, and Envoys and Thrones could cast their gazes at any moment; for Xiao Buyu to dare to use his Spiritual Sense over such a large area was simply audacious.

Li Changfeng originally wanted to stop him, but then he thought that Xiao Buyu, as a Formation Master, was not skilled in combat and therefore acted cautiously; he would definitely not shoot without a target, let alone provoke powerful enemies for no reason.

So if he released his Spiritual Sense now, he must have discovered something extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Li Changfeng also released his Spiritual Sense.

The scenery within the Yuyao Kingdom was not very different from the Four Kingdoms of the Immortal Dynasty.

After all, it was a great nation with a Legacy spanning ten thousand years; the appearance of various places differed, and the influence of terrain was greater than that of national borders, with mountains, plains, basins, and other terrains scattered like stars.

Places rich in resources gathered into large cities, while barren deserts were sparsely populated; this common logic had not been overturned in the Yuyao Kingdom.

Although some buildings had the characteristics of the Yuyao Kingdom, presenting a spire shape, on a larger scale, they were not very conspicuous or unique.

In short, Li Changfeng's Spiritual Sense swept across one area after another without discovering any abnormalities.

It was just that the Yuyao Kingdom was not populous, having a bit of a "de-urbanized" flavor, and the natural scenery was extremely well-preserved, which made Li Changfeng feel quite relaxed and happy.

He looked at Xiao Buyu, only to see that the other's expression was becoming increasingly grave, and there were even obvious fluctuations of spiritual power around him.

This was him employing methods, likely investigating something.

'Is this a method of a Formation Master?' Li Changfeng muttered to himself.

He was not skilled in Formations; to be precise, he was not skilled in any crafts.

This was his shortcoming, but he had more important things to do and no time to fill in the gaps.

When encountering issues, he could only choose to trust these players who were skilled in the Hundred Arts.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Buyu finally retracted his Spiritual Sense, stopping the methods that Li Changfeng could not understand.

Turning around, he said with a grave expression: "The Yuyao Kingdom is likely in big trouble."

Li Changfeng asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Buyu deliberated for a moment, trying to speak as accurately as possible:

"I had a slight premonition when I came, but I could only confirm it after penetrating deep into this place.

"The Yuyao Kingdom should originally have had an extremely massive Grand Array covering it, sufficient to protect the entire nation, but now a large hole has been torn open."

Li Changfeng asked in confusion:

"So what? The Yuyao Kingdom never stopped us players from entering or exiting; I think this Grand Array was not operating from the start. If it's just a hole, they can just repair it, and the impact shouldn't be that big."

Xiao Buyu shook his head:

"Although this Grand Array did not block our passage, it has a more important function."

Li Changfeng asked: "What function?"

Xiao Buyu shook his head again: "I don't know."

Li Changfeng was speechless: "You don't know, then how do you know it's an important function?"

Xiao Buyu pointed to the south, which should be the location of the opening.

"Although I don't know specifically what the function is, I just probed it, and the spiritual power of the entire Grand Array is gathering towards the direction of the opening, and there are a great many great demons contributing their power in various areas of the Grand Array.

"This shows that the Yuyao Kingdom is paying an extremely heavy price, attempting to repair the opening as quickly as possible."

Li Changfeng looked in the direction he pointed, suddenly feeling that this direction was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but go on the Forum to check the post recording Yan Xiao's movements.

Immediately, his eyelids twitched.

Sure enough, the direction of the opening was exactly the direction Yan Xiao was traveling north.

What big event had Yan Xiao stirred up again?

Xiao Buyu said:

"In short, something big has happened in the Yuyao Kingdom. Given their attitude towards players previously, they should be too busy to pay attention to us.

"Then I think, compared to the Qingling Sect, the Legacies and resources of the Yuyao Kingdom are likely even more precious... How about... we change our target?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Changfeng's expression changed.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Indeed, the scale of the Yuyao Kingdom was much larger than the Qingling Sect; the Legacies it controlled must be more numerous, and the cultivation resources it could provide must also be greater.

Moreover, Yan Xiao was involved this time...
