539: The difference in strength is too great, it's normal that they can't find it.
Such a person clearly possesses great Opportunities and great secrets.
He knew that the scene just now was the Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body.
Even he had not Cultivated to this extent, yet Duan Zhengchun, a junior, possessed such a technique, indicating that the Legacy he received was definitely extraordinary.
Furthermore, the fact that he could discover an issue with the Seal here without him having to say anything makes him even more unusual.
He was able to discover it based on the information left by his Master and his observations over the years.
However, Duan Zhengchun saw the problem here instantly. This insight, this knowledge—it was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all these years.
He could also recognize his identity with a single glance.
Back then, Turbid Clarity, who had dealt with him for many years, couldn't recognize his identity just because he had become younger.
There are only two possibilities for Duan Zhengchun to recognize his identity instantly. The first is that he already knew his identity.
Knowing that his former self was Eternal Life Li and his current self is Southern Palace Spring Water.
The other possibility is that he recognized his identity after a brief interaction.
The sudden appearance of such a Prodigy feels wrong; this is his intuition.
People who reach his Realm often have some sense of things that are about to happen in the future.
He felt that these matters were inseparable from Duan Zhengchun.
After leaving the Northern Territory, Duan Zhengchun observed the situation in several other Imperial Dynasties and indeed found several sealed locations, each guarded by a Master.
However, the situation in one of the Imperial Dynasties surprised Duan Zhengchun somewhat.
That was Great Tang. He hadn't expected the one guarding the sealed place to be Li Yuanba, the former Great Tang's Number One Fierce General.
That's right, it was Li Yuanba, the Number One Fierce General of Sui and Tang.
The news he learned was that after Great Tang overthrew the Sui Dynasty, on the way back to the capital, Li Yuanji deliberately provoked Li Yuanba with words, causing Li Yuanba to challenge the Might of Heaven, resulting in him being struck dead by lightning.
Now it seems that all of this was deliberate, news intentionally spread, and in reality, Li Yuanba went to guard the sealed land.
And Li Yuanba was not the simple-minded person the rumors claimed him to be.
Because he sensed through his Divine Sense that Li Yuanba's strength was actually even greater than Eternal Life Li's.
But thinking about it, it was normal. There were rumors at the time that Li Yuanba was the Reincarnation of the Golden-Winged Great Peng in the Immortal Realm, simply because he violated his Master's instructions not to kill Yuwen Chengdu.
It was just that Li Yuanba's consciousness hadn't awakened at the time; he was a First-rate brute. Once provoked, he would lose reason and would beat anyone who dared to challenge him to death.
Yuwen Chengdu's previous life was the Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thunder God Puhua Heavenly Venerate. This person was Grand Tutor Wen Zhong in the Investiture of the Gods, and he had some Karma with the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
In this life, he was not supposed to kill Yuwen Chengdu, but because his consciousness hadn't awakened, he did kill Yuwen Chengdu. Afterward, Li Yuanji deliberately provoked Li Yuanba, who challenged the Might of Heaven and was struck dead by lightning.
Now it seems that he did not die. All of this should be related to Li Yuanba's Master. And the fact that Li Yuanba can now guard the sealed land suggests his consciousness has awakened.
Otherwise, given his personality, it would be impossible for him to steadily guard the sealed land.
As for the Master guarding the sealed land on the Great Qin side, Duan Zhengchun also learned his identity: Marquis Wu'an, Bai Qi.
Great Qin's Number One Killing God. It turns out he didn't die either, but went to guard the sealed land.
The sealed land of the Great Song Imperial Dynasty was guarded by an old man in black robes. He sensed an astonishing Sword Intent emanating from this elder.
This reminded him of a person, a legend who crushed an entire era back then: Dugu Qiubai, the Sword Demon.
As for the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty, it was a slovenly old man. Duan Zhengchun couldn't figure out his identity at the moment and didn't disturb him.
As for the Great Sui side, he also didn't recognize the person's identity.
Just as Eternal Life Li said, all Nine Great Imperial Dynasties have powerful Masters guarding them.
The aura of every single one of them was no weaker than Eternal Life Li's. If they were to appear, they would certainly cause a sensation across the entire Kyushu Continent.
However, they all have their own missions, and it is precisely because of their existence that the Kyushu Continent can remain so stable and peaceful.
This also made him think of a saying: with great power comes great responsibility.
This principle, however, was useless when applied to Duan Zhengchun, but they couldn't just let things go unchecked either.
Once the guardians lose their Legacy, the Kyushu Continent will still fall into peril.
If they want to completely solve this problem, they must utterly destroy the sealed lands and completely obliterate the so-called Passage.
This way, with the Passage gone, the Yao Beasts from beyond the Passage would no longer be able to come to the Kyushu Continent.
But perhaps with his current strength, he still cannot achieve this.
Therefore, he must seize the time to improve his strength and also let the people around him improve their strength as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, once the Chaotic World arrives, lacking even the ability to protect oneself would be a tragedy.
His Divine Sense returned to his Main Body. Duan Zhengchun opened his eyes, only to see Li Hanyi, Ye Ruoyi, and Moon Princess all by his side.
They were looking at him with tense expressions, and only sighed in relief when they saw him wake up.
"What's wrong? Why are you all here? Don't you need to Cultivate?"
"You have the nerve to ask! You've been in Seclusion for a whole month. If we hadn't confirmed you were fine, we would have thought you died," Li Hanyi retorted, giving him a dirty look.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if the Kyushu Continent perished, This Prince would be fine," Duan Zhengchun said irritably.
"Hmph, talk about being full of yourself! What exactly happened? Why were you in Seclusion for so long? Also, during this time, I kept feeling like someone was spying on this place."
"But no matter what, I couldn't find where the other party was hiding." Li Hanyi's expression was solemn, and her tone was full of worry.
"Uh, it's normal that you couldn't find them. The difference in strength is too vast."
"But don't worry, it's nothing. That was my Divine Sense Sensing," Duan Zhengchun said dismissively, shrugging his hands.
"Ah? It was you? If it was you, why didn't you tell us? You made us worry unnecessarily." Li Hanyi punched Duan Zhengchun irritably.
"I luckily achieved a Breakthrough and was observing the situation across the Kyushu Continent. It truly allowed me to discover some things," Duan Zhengchun said.
"Huh? Observing the situation across the Kyushu Continent? What do you mean?"
The three women exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"Well, you can understand it as: This Prince can now observe the entire Kyushu Continent with a single thought. Since you are already in the Late Heaven-Man Realm, you should know that every rustle of grass and tree in Snow Moon City is within your single thought."
"And I can observe the entire Kyushu Continent," Duan Zhengchun explained after thinking for a moment, providing a simple analogy.
"..."
The three instantly turned to stone. Their strength was already very high, yet they could only barely sense some things happening throughout Snow Moon City.
Moreover, it was somewhat vague. They could only sense things clearly when a fight occurred or when Internal Energy fluctuations appeared.
If they tried to find one specific person, it would be difficult.
However, Duan Zhengchun could instantly cover the entire Kyushu Continent.
One must know that the Kyushu Continent stretches for tens of thousands of miles. To perceive it all in a single thought—is he even human?
