Chapter 2113: Central Region Turmoil

The clone directly emitted a vanishing Technique, instantly melting Liang Ming's head.

Lei Ming and his companions also acted immediately.

Especially the Eighth Realm and later‑stage Martial Cultivators; after cloaking themselves, their power grew, allowing them to slay two opponents of the Eighth Realm's later stage in succession.

Those people were suddenly attacked and could not see anyone, so they immediately fell into chaos.

Moreover, once Liang Ming died, they fled at once, and some surrendered immediately.

Those who did not surrender were instantly taken down by Lei Ming and his companions.

The battle ended that quickly.

Even the onlookers who were waiting for the spectacle recovered, and no one dared to act again.

Ye Liuyun hovered in the air, looking down on the crowd inside the city.

Wherever his gaze fell, no one dared to meet his eyes.

"If you want to come to the City of No Guilt, you must obey the rules here.

Otherwise, die!"

Ye Liuyun coldly warned the Martial Cultivators who were causing trouble with Liang Ming's group.

"Obey the rules, we will obey the rules!"

The other Martial Cultivators agreed, and withdrew from this unfinished city one after another.

"These people are all yours! Plant Divine Soul Contracts on them!"

Ye Liuyun then had Hao Defu place Divine Soul Contracts on the six surrendered Martial Cultivators.

Chengzhu Fu is currently lacking high‑level Martial Cultivators.

Their cultivation levels are considered high here.

"Alright!"

Hao Defu cheerfully agreed, and immediately had them sign Master‑Servant Contracts.

Ye Liuyun recalled Lei Ming and his companions back to the Space World, and together with Hao Defu brought these people back to Chengzhu Fu to report information about the Central Region.

Under the control of the Divine Soul Contracts, they did not conceal anything and disclosed everything they knew.

In the entire Divine Realm, the Central Region is the most flourishing and resource‑rich area for martial arts, so Martial Cultivators there generally have very high cultivation levels.

However, the Central Region has two top factions that have been constantly opposing and draining each other.

These are the Central Region Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

People in the Central Region know that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance leads the fight against the Foreign Tribe, continuously guiding Martial Cultivators to protect the Divine Realm.

The Central Region Dynasty, on the other hand, employs every means to marginalize the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, aiming to become the sole dominant power.

Thus both sides constantly vie for Martial Cultivators, especially those who have reached the Ninth Realm, or young practitioners of the Seventh/Eighth Level Realm who show particular potential.

Although Liang Ming is no longer young, his cultivation has reached the Ninth Realm.

The Liang family was never a great clan and did not wish to play both sides in the gap between the two major powers.

So they sent Liang Ming with some promising young disciples to seek development beyond the Central Region.

Of course, this carries great risk.

It is possible that those dispatched could be completely wiped out, or that a lack of cultivation resources would delay their progress.

Even the Boundless Sea and Crossing Soul Mountain that encircle the outskirts of the Central Region are obstacles many Martial Cultivators cannot overcome.

Even if they pass through the Alien Battlefield, the Eastern Region does not accept Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, to avoid upsetting the local power balance.

The Southern and Western Regions accept Martial Cultivators of even lower realms.

They have no choice.

The Liang clan, relying on the ancestral treasure Crossing Heaven Boat, crossed the Boundless Sea.

Although the journey was perilous and they were bombarded by a dynasty warship, the Crossing Heaven Boat ultimately held up.

But the Crossing Heaven Boat eventually broke down, and they could not return directly.

These experts, after crossing the Boundless Sea, arrived nearby at the City of No Guilt.

They did not expect the Martial Cultivators here to have such low realms, which suited them for settling and developing, leading to a power grab.

After learning their background, Ye Liuyun inquired further about the Central Region Dynasty.

"The Central Region Dynasty is also called Zhongxing Wangchao; the royal family bears the surname Mo, and the God King is Mo Xiaotian.

It is said to be at the Ninth Layer Mid Stage."

Someone told Ye Liuyun.

Hearing the Mo surname, Ye Liuyun immediately thought of Mo Tianheng.

"I wonder whether Mo Tianheng has any connection to the Central Region royal family?"

He thought to himself.

"The Central Region Dynasty also sends Martial Cultivators to the Alien Battlefield, especially to real battlefields.

However, they never send their own royal kin; they recruit expendable substitutes from various families!"

Someone grew increasingly angry as they spoke.

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly: "It seems the Central Region is even more chaotic, not as stable as the Eastern Region!"

Nevertheless, according to them, the Central Region's resources are indeed abundant; even the spiritual energy is more than ten times that here, making the cultivation environment far superior to other places.

If a Martial Cultivator lacking strength goes there, they might find a great clan to rely on; otherwise they end up miserable, with hardly any dignity left.

The Central Region especially values strength above all.

Ye Liuyun gathered a great deal of information about the Central Region from these people.

Especially the Boundless Sea and Crossing Soul Mountain, two natural barriers that completely enclose the Central Region.

The Central Region is surrounded by sea on three sides and by mountains on one side.

The waters of the Boundless Sea are all black and possess extremely strong corrosiveness.

Even a ninth‑grade defensive armor can only hold for a moment.

So there is no treasure that can carry that seawater away.

The suction of the seawater is also huge; only Martial Cultivators whose realm exceeds Ninth Layer Mid Stage might be able to fly across directly.

The ferries that go back and forth are all operated by the Dynasty, and the fare is extremely expensive—up to over a million Crystal Stones per ticket—so ordinary people cannot afford such ferries.

Moreover, even ferries are not 100 % safe; incidents of ferries being attacked by sea monsters occur frequently.

As for what monsters dwell in the Boundless Sea, these disciples cannot explain.

Furthermore, the sea contains temporal‑spatial turbulence, which ordinary Flying Boats cannot withstand.

These people say that their safe crossing of the Boundless Sea this time is unparalleled luck.

As for Soul Ferry Mountain, it is even harder to traverse.

It inevitably demands a high realm for Martial Cultivators and especially high Divine Soul Power.

Any treasure that defends against Spiritual Soul Attack becomes completely ineffective once on the mountain.

It is said that to date no one has successfully crossed it.

Because no one who dared to ascend the mountain has ever returned.

Even at the foot of Soul Ferry Mountain, spanning hundreds of thousands of li, no one lives there.

That intense Soul pressure is only approached by some Soul Cultivators for cultivation; ordinary people or Martial Cultivators with weak Divine Soul Power dare not approach that area.

The Liang Family disciples speak of these two places with reverence; it seems that in the central region they have already become deeply ingrained forbidden zones.

Ye Liuyun, after hearing this, felt his own strength was far too lacking.

He now fights strong opponents relying on Divine Soul Power and his Golden Pupil clones.

"Better to seize the time to cultivate and then go to the Alien Battlefield more often for honing!"

Ye Liuyun constantly reminds himself to improve his own strength.

He handed the remaining matters to Hao Defu, and immediately returned to the Eastern Dynasty to cultivate.

The Dynasty's affairs do not require his concern; his women have arranged everything neatly.

The Martial Cultivators he subjugated on the Alien Battlefield also raised the Dynasty's strength a notch.

Although he now possesses only a single Ninth Layer Early Stage Martial Cultivator, the overall strength, aside from the Spirit Clan, is no worse than that of other major powers.
