Chapter 209: After the Passage of Time, Master and Disciple Recognize Each Other

"Having left for only a few short days, even Leping County is seeing the Demon Race running rampant?"

Watching that streak of sword light before them, as if it were about to tear open the nine layers of clouds and sever the karmic obstacles of the world, both Gu Jiangming and the others, including Long Xi, furrowed their brows.

They had known about the Demon Race entering the borders early on, but Leping County itself was remote, and furthermore, it was located in the easternmost part of the Human Race; by all logic, these demons should not have appeared in Leping County so quickly.

Yet, as it happened, a Nascent Soul Great Demon had appeared in the vicinity of Leping County at this very moment.

In this current End of Dharma era, the Nascent Soul realm was already that of a regional hegemon; calling it a Great Demon was not an exaggeration at all, and some of the stronger demons in the Nascent Soul realm could even be crowned with the title of Demon King.

"Has the Northern Front completely collapsed?"

"By all logic, it shouldn't be like this!"

"According to the information I gathered, there are hundreds of great cultivators in the Human Race who have reached the Enlightenment Realm alone; why would such a major change occur in such a short time?"

Jiu Jiu frowned as she watched that sword light shred the Great Demon, feeling somewhat unconfident in the intelligence she had previously gathered.

"That sword light, it should belong to a Shushan Disciple, right?"

"Once that Shushan Disciple finishes dealing with the Great Demon, we shall go and ask them."

Gu Jiangming also harbored countless doubts in his heart; after all, according to what Jiu Jiu had said, the Human Race was currently the most powerful force in Heaven and Earth, and the Northern Border, which was even further north than the Northern Front, should not have been able to impact the Human Race.

What's more, Gu Jiangming remembered clearly that he had left behind arrays for all the cities of the Human Race.

With those arrays protecting the Human Race, the east, south, west, and north should all be safe, right? "I don't know why, but I suddenly have a rather bad feeling in my heart..."

Unlike Gu Jiangming and Jiu Jiu, as Liu Moran frowned at this moment, the image of her son, Gu Nianmo, flashed through her mind for no reason at all.

It was as if a voice in the dark was telling her that everything happening within the Human Race's territory at this moment was inseparable from Gu Nianmo.

Meanwhile, in the Human Central City.

"Who is it!"

"Who leaked the Starry Array that the Human Emperor Supreme once set up?"

"Our Human Race has enjoyed peace for one hundred thousand years; in these one hundred thousand years, has another traitor who eats inside and out emerged among us?"

At this moment, inside the Central City Grand Hall, phantom images manifested by thoughts were lined up within the Human Race's grand hall; this was a secret technique that Jiao Qing and the others had once created, sufficient to allow the Enlightenment Realm thoughts of various races and groups to gather.

As the Human Race continued to grow, this secret technique, which was originally only in the hands of Jiao Qing and the others, was also learned by the Human Race.

With the current turmoil throughout the Human Race, it was naturally impossible to summon the many Enlightenment Realm figures within the Human Race's territory again, but the secret technique left behind by Jiao Qing and the others was enough for the Human Race to still be able to communicate at this time.

But just looking at the figures at the head of the grand hall, their hair standing on end with rage, the interior of the Central City Grand Hall was deathly silent.

The Northern Border Demon Race breaking through the borders, and the Enlightenment Realm deities of the Northern Front increasing their strength by several points using unknown methods—these were things they could understand; after all, among the various races with long-standing inheritances, no one knew how many years they had existed.

But the one hundred and eight cities across the four regions of the Human Race were set up by the last Heavenly Human of the Heavenly Human Era and even the Human Emperor Supreme, specifically to ensure that the Human Race's territory remained secure.

Yet the Demon Race entered the borders, having silently broken the array foundations of several major cities, and even bypassed the Northern Front array through various methods; it was no wonder that the Longhu Mountain Chat Room standing at the head was so furious.

To put it bluntly, at this moment inside the Central City Grand Hall, as the various Human Race experts looked at one another, their hearts were all filled with a bit of suspicion. The Starry Array of the cities was the foundation of the Human Race.

And at this moment, the foundation of the Human Race had been dug out just like that, so how could these people not be furious and suspicious? Within the vast Human Central City Grand Hall, countless rustling sounds echoed for a time, and then the emperors of the major dynasties walked out, beginning to discuss how to block those increasingly crazed Northern Border demons.

Yet Gu Jiangming was completely unaware of all this.

When that sword light in Leping County dissipated, the corpse of that Nascent Soul Great Demon disappeared along with it.

At this moment, Gu Jiangming and Jiu Jiu were looking with complex expressions at Liuyu, who was kneeling before them, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Neither Gu Jiangming nor Jiu Jiu had expected that even though time and space had changed, Liuyu was still Gu Jiangming's personal disciple, and that after the passage of years, they would see this disciple of his again.

"Master..."

"Master!!!"

At this moment, where was there any sign of Jiu Jiu in Liuyu's eyes? He gazed at that familiar yet strange figure, and then looked at the standing positions of Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming; he no longer had the slightest doubt about whether the Gu Jiangming before him was his master.

Although he could not figure out how his master was alive in this era, Liuyu dared to swear that the person before him was definitely his master.

Thinking of the past, Liuyu's eyes held only joy, and as for Jiu Jiu, who was the original target of this trip...

How could a mistress be better than a master? "Get up and speak!"

Gu Jiangming looked at this disciple of his and could understand what Liuyu was feeling, but looking at Liuyu's strength, Gu Jiangming sighed once again.

He could see that Liuyu was clearly capable of using the Heaven and Earth Dao Principles to become a deity.

But Liuyu was stuck at that very last step, having only polished his sword path to the extreme, yet he was unwilling to become a deity controlled by Heaven and Earth no matter what.

And looking at Liuyu's spirit, it was clear that Liuyu was prepared to break through to the Enlightenment Realm on his own.

However, in this era of the End of Dharma, wanting to break through to the Enlightenment Realm by one's own power was truly no less difficult than stepping into the Quasi-Supreme Realm before Gu Jiangming became a Heavenly Human.

"Yes!"

As Liuyu responded, he remembered the purpose of his trip.

After Liuyu's emotions had recovered slightly, he informed Gu Jiangming of the discoveries Shushan had made in recent years without any concealment.

And when Gu Jiangming heard that Shushan had discovered that an internal and external boundary had also appeared in the Southern Border, south of the Southern Kingdom, Gu Jiangming, Jiu Jiu, and the others looked at each other, all seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

By this time, they had completely confirmed it—confirmed that the Great Wilderness was truly prepared to harvest Heaven and Earth!

What the Great Wilderness coveted was not just the Immortal Dao Principle about to be born in Heaven and Earth, but this very world filled with vibrant vitality!

"By the way, Master, when I was slaying that Nascent Soul Great Demon, I felt a somewhat familiar aura on its body."

"That aura is extremely similar to the aura of the Great Wilderness!"

"The Northern Front being broken, I suspect it has an inseparable connection with the Great Wilderness!"
