Lin Xuan then followed his usual practice and departed from the Thunder Yang Pavilion with the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, having spent just under a day there. He left behind half of the non-peak Emperor Level high-ranking members to oversee and handle affairs. After a burst of dazzling white light in the teleportation hall, the figures of Lin Xuan and his companions vanished.
The remaining Thunder Yang Pavilion leaders breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally departed. It was hard to believe that in less than a day, the Pavilion had experienced a monumental transformation, one that occurs only once in a century. It was now entirely different from its past.
With the loss of Thunder Mountain, the sect would need to adjust its developmental direction. Thankfully, the two peak Emperor Level Grand Elders were still alive and had not suffered significant losses in strength. Even if the Thunder Yang Pavilion faced potential decline, these Grand Elders could stabilize the situation and preserve the original status and resources.
However, there was now a Supreme Emperor to consider. From this day forward, he would be the true ruler of not just the Thunder Yang Pavilion, but the entire Thunder Yang Hall. More precisely, he would dominate the Dongyuan Continent.
The six major forces had seen the Devil Cloud Sect obliterated, leaving none behind. The remaining five, including the Elemental Spirit Sect, the East Saint Sect, and the Thunder Yang Pavilion, had all surrendered. They had been demoted to subordinate halls under the Tianyuan Palace he established. With this development, no other power on the Dongyuan Continent could challenge these halls, rendering them inconsequential. He had effectively become the de facto ruler of the entire Dongyuan Continent.
Fortunately, the situation was as the rumors had suggested: the Supreme Emperor was adopting a laissez-faire approach to the various halls. There were no significant changes; things remained as they were before. Moreover, the six sects had either been destroyed or had surrendered. The longstanding grudges and barriers between them would be greatly diminished, making communication much more straightforward. Looking ahead, they might even seize this opportunity for better development. However, those who had previously wavered like reeds between the six great powers would face a difficult future. But such concerns were not theirs to bear. With the disappearance of Thunder Mountain, the Thunder Yang Pavilion was on the cusp of a major transformation. They had plenty to attend to and couldn't afford to dwell on these matters.
Elsewhere, Cang Shuiyue of the Canglan Sect, a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, was tasked with leading the team. The Canglan Sect resided in Canglan State, a top First-class State on the Dongyuan Continent, second only to Dongyuan State. True to its name, Canglan State was abundant in rivers and lakes, with fewer mountain ranges. Its cities were built on land resembling islands, divided by a network of rivers, lakes, and swamps. It was indeed a place of unique wonder.
In this region, much like Leiyun State, the black water attribute spiritual energy dominated over other types. Rain fell for nearly half the year, creating a rather extraordinary landscape. The majority of warriors here practiced the black water attribute or the Green Wood attribute, which favored growth and water. While Green Wood and black water attributes weren't particularly aggressive in combat, they excelled in recovery and support, making them highly favored by many warriors. In Canglan State, the environmental boost made their combat strength formidable, elevating them to the top of their class.
Upon returning to Canglan State, Cang Shuiyue's demeanor grew more self-assured. Although she was at the pinnacle of the Emperor Level, her specific attributes and techniques rendered her relatively average among her peers.
Within Canglan State, there existed a prime opportunity, with individuals claiming prowess not inferior to Wei Zhengzhen or those of the Elemental Spirit Sect.
Of course, Lin Xuan was an exception—a formidable outlier.
Lin Xuan's power had already far exceeded the Martial Monarch Stage.
Such heights were not attainable through mere reliance on environment, martial arts, spirit weapons, or secret techniques.
Only if each aspect vastly surpassed one's own cultivation level could it be possible.
Lin Xuan himself was a testament to this.
With his Supreme Level talent, Half-level Emperor physique, and an array of profound insights coupled with Emperor Level Martial Arts, he achieved layer upon layer of enhancement.
Only then was he able to bridge the vast divide in cultivation, enabling him to stand against Half-level Emperor powerhouses with his Middle stage Martial Monarch Stage cultivation.
Yet, such a scenario would be nearly impossible on the Tianyuan Continent unless one had an unfair advantage. There was no second individual like him across the entire continent.
As he journeyed on, Lin Xuan found himself intrigued by new experiences.
Despite having traversed the boundless Heavenly Elemental Sea to reach the Central Essence Continent, it had only been a few years since he had set out from the Drifting Cloud Sect for his training, and his experiences were not extensive.
For instance, witnessing a state akin to a waterlogged marshland was a first for him, as was the case with Leiyun State.
Each city he passed maintained a protective shield year-round to guard against the sudden deluges.
This was why Canglan State had the fewest cities, yet in terms of size and quality, they were unparalleled.
Within the whole of Canglan State, there was only one peak Emperor Level individual—Cang Shuiyue, the true sovereign of the state in this era.
Under his leadership, the journey was exceptionally smooth.
It goes without saying that each member of their party was at least at the late period of Emperor Level, exuding profound auras and imposing presences that deterred any dissent or inquiry.
In just a few hours, they smoothly reached the Canglan Sect's base.
The Canglan Sect was situated on a relatively flat expanse of land, a rarity in other states where such terrain was commonplace.
In Canglan State, such treasures were exceedingly scarce. The Canglan Sect had claimed the largest expanse of land encountered on their journey. Beneath this land lay a High-grade spirit stone vein, serpentine in its length and richness, a singular find in the whole of Canglan State.
Flanking the Canglan Sect's flatlands were two colossal rivers, each spanning over a thousand meters in width and plunging to unfathomable depths. They resembled celestial rivers, cradling the Canglan Sect within their protective embrace. These rivers were the sect's most prized possessions, their bounty of spirit fish, materials, and mines providing abundantly for the sect's needs. The surplus was sold off, bartered for additional resources. Indeed, these rivers were the lifeblood of the entire Canglan Sect and were fittingly christened the Canglan River.
The Canglan Sect's residence was also a sight to behold, with its continuous array of pavilions, towers, and various palaces. The entirety of this majestic sight was shrouded by a transparent light barrier, shimmering like water ripples. This was the heart of the Canglan Sect's power and splendor.
