Central Province.
Central Province doesn't have many territories!
Only a total of ten!
But each territory's area is extremely vast, large enough to terrify people!
At the same time, among these nine territories, each one possesses a Saint-level power! Even the weakest Saint-level power here is over ten times stronger than the Town Prison Saint Domain!
However, the tenth territory in Central Province not only lacks a Saint-level power, but it's also rarely visited, and many cultivators are afraid to come here!
Because this place is the Ancient Spirit Domain!
The Ancient Spirit Domain is full of opportunities, with various ancient caves, endless ruins, and a plethora of heaven and earth treasures!
But at the same time...
The Ancient Spirit Domain is also the most dangerous territory!
It's home to many vicious monsters, as well as terrifying remnants from ancient times!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!" At this moment, a group of cultivators from Central Province is besieging a powerful monster!
Astonishingly, it's a Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast!
More than twenty Sea Wheel Realm cultivators are collaborating to attack, dressed in a way that suggests they're from four different forces.
"Damn it, we've just ventured slightly into the Ancient Spirit Domain and encountered such a powerful monster!"
"This is bad, if we scatter and flee, we might all be wiped out!"
"Hold on, the sect's reinforcements should be arriving soon!"
...
These more than twenty Sea Wheel Realm cultivators are struggling even when working together.
If it weren't for the four peak Sea Wheel Realm elders leading them, they would have collapsed long ago!
"Roar, roar, roar!!!" However, at this moment, the Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast let out a low growl, emitting a strange and eerie howl imbued with the power of true thunder!
Evidently, this Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast had inherited the bloodline of a powerful thunder-type exotic beast!
"Trouble!" The growl, carrying the scent of true thunder, directly caused paralysis in over ten Sea Wheel Realm experts, rendering them immobile.
Seizing the opportunity, the Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast raised its massive claw and brought it crashing down!
"We're done for!" The faces of the more than ten Sea Wheel Realm cultivators turned pale. They knew they were doomed this time.
The Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast was just too powerful!
Could they not even hold on until the sect's seniors arrived to support them?
"Boom!!!" However, at this moment, a tremendously huge palm imprint descended from the sky, and with one strike, it turned this giant Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast, over eight hundred meters in size, into a pool of flesh!
The next moment, a rune-covered hand of massive proportions appeared, stretching about a kilometer, and casually grabbed the Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast's corpse before tossing it into a huge vortex that made it disappear.
"???" The more than twenty Sea Wheel Realm cultivators were all dumbfounded.
What in the world just happened?
What's going on?
How was the Half-Step Heavenly Pill Beast killed with just one strike? And why did such a massive corpse disappear in an instant?
But soon, a figure leisurely stepped out and glanced at these more than twenty cultivators before taking out a map.
"May I ask if you know where the Ancient Spirit Plateau is?" this figure asked casually.
"What a handsome young man!" The more than twenty cultivators were all stunned. The man in front of them was young, yet he exuded an indescribable ethereal aura!
Extremely noble, yet gentle and calm. Not only was his temperament unique, but he was also extraordinarily handsome!
It's none other than He Yiming, who had come all the way here!
"Senior, the Ancient Spirit Plateau is the central area of the Ancient Spirit Domain. Just head in that direction, and when you see the mountain range covered in black snow, you'll have arrived!" a peak Sea Wheel Realm cultivator hurriedly answered respectfully.
"Thanks!" He Yiming nodded and felt considerably relieved.
After arriving at Central Province through the teleportation array he had set up earlier, He Yiming had investigated and found out that the Ancient Spirit Domain was the only unclaimed territory. Moreover, it was a region full of opportunities that hadn't been opened up yet.
Furthermore, the Ancient Spirit Domain was located at the center of Central Province and gathered the aura of the entire province. It was undoubtedly the best geographical location in Central Province.
Among them, the Ancient Spirit Plateau was the central region of the Ancient Spirit Domain! It was also the best place within the Ancient Spirit Domain!
Since he was establishing a new sect, he naturally had to occupy the best place!
Therefore, without hesitation, He Yiming decided to establish the new sect on the Ancient Spirit Plateau of the Ancient Spirit Domain!
Turning around, He Yiming was about to head to the Ancient Spirit Plateau.
"Wait, Senior!" At this moment, the peak Sea Wheel Realm cultivator suddenly shouted.
"What's the matter?" He Yiming turned back and asked.
"In the Ancient Spirit Plateau, there's a terrifying monster at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm! It's said that this monster reached Half-Step Nascent Soul thousands of years ago, and perhaps it has already entered the true Nascent Soul Realm! Moreover, the surrounding area is almost filled with peak Heavenly Pill-level great monsters, extremely dangerous! Although Senior's strength is astonishing..."
"It doesn't matter! Even if that monster has reached Nascent Soul, it's still just a matter of a single slap!"
...
He Yiming directly cut off the person's well-intentioned persuasion and then left without looking back!
"???" The more than twenty cultivators exchanged confused glances.
"This Senior's confidence is way too strong, right? A Nascent Soul Realm monster can be slapped to death?" None of these more than twenty cultivators believed it.
An hour later...
"Roar!!!" A three-headed giant snake that had recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm emitted a desperate and mournful scream!
"Boom!!!" The next moment, an immense imprint the size of ten thousand meters descended from the sky. With one strike, it directly killed this creature.
"Is that it?" He Yiming looked at the Ancient Spirit Plateau. Indeed, it was a blessed place, but the earth tyrant guarding it seemed a bit weak?
He Yiming quickly selected a place of exceptional talent and spirit on the Ancient Spirit Plateau.
To the west was a vast lake, to the east were stretching mountains, to the north was a grassland, and to the south was a dense forest.
"System, is this place suitable?" He Yiming asked immediately.
"Conditions met! The upgrade is about to begin 4.0. A completely new sect will be established in the area chosen by the host. After the completion of the 4.0 upgrade, most of the buildings from the old sect will be automatically transferred over."
"Host, are you sure you want to upgrade?"
...
The system quickly explained.
"Upgrade!" He Yiming agreed without hesitation!
"Ding! The system is beginning the upgrade. The transition to version 4.0 will last for 7 days. During this period, all connections to foreign realm souls will be severed, and various system functions will be temporarily suspended!"
With a series of prompt sounds, the system entered the upgrade state.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!" Soon, He Yiming saw countless huge patterns appearing on the once-empty ground in front of him. One after another, slightly illusory frameworks began to slowly emerge!
Evidently, this wave of upgrade by the system had completely restructured the new buildings and sect grounds.
Very well done!
Just to be safe, He Yiming had a thought!
"Boom!!!" The next moment, five streams of light flashed, appearing in front of He Yiming!
Five Elements Saint Swords!
Astonishingly, these were five celestial-level flying swords made from the five-color saint stone that He Yiming obtained in the primordial era!
These five Elements Saint Swords each had one of the five attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Crafted from five-color saint stones, they were extraordinarily sharp and incredibly sturdy! After being inscribed with ancient basic techniques of the Five Elements, combined with the six-grade formations carved onto each of the five flying swords by He Yiming!
The power of these five Elements Saint Swords was absolutely earth-shattering!
They were suitable for both offense and defense!
Moreover, they could also set up powerful defensive formations!
"Five Elements Saint Sword Array, activate!!!" He Yiming had a thought, and the five Elements Saint Swords rose into the air simultaneously, turning the void into a massive realm, flying towards the five directions of the Ancient Spirit Plateau.
After traveling for a hundred miles, the five Elements Saint Swords finally stopped, and then crashed down, embedding themselves in the ground!
"Boom, boom, boom!" After a moment, five-colored rays of light swept across an area of a hundred miles in radius. Finally, they transformed into a five-colored vast sky, covering an area of a hundred miles!
It was a sixth-grade defense formation, the Five Elements Saint Sword Array!
To break this formation, the opponent either needed to be a Nascent Soul powerhouse who could forcefully destroy it, or a formation master who had a deeper understanding of formations and the origin of formation paths than He Yiming, who had a formation book!
Moreover, the Five Elements Saint Sword Array was self-sustaining, continuously absorbing the power of heaven and earth to nourish itself and recover!
In other words, even if hundreds or thousands of Heavenly Pill Realm experts gathered, it would still be impossible for them to break this Five Elements Saint Sword Array! The damage caused by their joint attack formation would be less than the array's self-repair rate!
With the formation set up, the system also began to upgrade, but He Yiming had one last thing to do!
"I am He Yiming!"
"Starting today!"
"The Ancient Spirit Domain belongs to our new Huang Sect!"
"I hereby announce this to all of Central Province!!!"
...
He Yiming operated the Divine Demon Dao, turning his words into a sound that spread throughout the world, sweeping across!
For hundreds of miles, thousands of miles!
Tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles!
He Yiming's voice spread across over half of Central Province, resonating in the ears of most cultivators in Central Province.
Naturally, it also shocked the nine major territories of Central Province and their controllers, the nine major Saint Domains!
