Chapter 527 Time to go and meet those guys!
Li Xuanfeng had some understanding of the existence of the Boundary Pass, but not the detailed information that Lian Yuezhou had just transmitted.
A million years ago, a great catastrophe descended upon the Universe.
Countless planes and worlds were destroyed in the catastrophe, and the Canglan World became the last surviving place. A Great Emperor's sword strike carved out the endless Void Realm, protecting this last supreme plane, but also turning it into a cage.
The beings of the Canglan World could not cross the endless Void Realm, and foreign races could not pass through the Void Realm to descend upon the Canglan World.
However, at some unknown point, the supreme powerhouses of the Canglan World discovered traces of foreign races in the Void Realm.
These foreign races were sent into the Void Realm by some powerful means, approaching the Canglan World, preparing to sneak in quietly.
Realizing that foreign races might have mastered a method to traverse the endless Void Realm, the supreme powerhouses decided to unite and establish the Boundary Pass to resist external enemies.
At that time, the Canglan World still had the legacy of a Great Emperor. Relying on some methods left by the Great Emperor, the supreme powerhouses established a super-gigantic plane Formation that enveloped the entire world in the Void Realm, tens of millions of light-years away from the Canglan World—the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Universe Grand Formation!
It was a Great Emperor-level Formation, with a scope larger than a galaxy. Although the supreme powerhouses were only a step away from being a Great Emperor, their strength was vastly different from a Great Emperor. Even with the aid of some Great Emperor legacies, setting up the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Universe Grand Formation was an incredibly difficult challenge.
For the sake of the Canglan World, several supreme powerhouses sacrificed their lives, burning out their power, and finally managed to roughly set up the Grand Formation.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Universe Grand Formation enveloped the entire Canglan World like a bubble, protecting it within.
However, although the Grand Formation was formed, it was not complete and had many loopholes.
The main locations of the loopholes were the thirty-six critical Formation nodes. These nodes were relatively fragile, and once impacted by powerful forces, they would shake the Foundation of the Formation, allowing foreign races to invade the Canglan World through these gaps.
To mend the loopholes, later generations continuously sacrificed their lives to fill them, gradually repairing them.
That was an incredibly difficult period.
Fortunately, the foreign races entering the Void Realm at that time were not too strong or too numerous. The top-tier Cultivators of the Canglan World, while repairing the Formation, could also spare some effort to resist them.
Later, although the foreign race forces continuously expanded, and more and more powerhouses appeared, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Universe Grand Formation also became increasingly perfect, sufficient to resist the invasion of foreign races.
However, this was ultimately a Great Emperor-level Formation. Even combined with the Great Emperor's legacy, wanting to set it up perfectly and exert its due power was by no means something that could be achieved by simply having more supreme powerhouses.
Due to the absolute power gap between supreme powerhouses and Great Emperors, repairing twenty-seven of the thirty-six weak Formation points was already the limit. There were still nine weak nodes that could not be repaired no matter what, and had to be personally guarded by a supreme powerhouse, who would continuously maintain them with their own power to ensure the perfect operation of this Grand Formation, barely reaching Great Emperor-level power.
To ensure the complete operation of the Formation, all supreme powerhouses had to go tens of millions of light-years away to personally guard the weak Formation nodes.
At that time, the Canglan World did not even have nine supreme powerhouses. The missing positions were filled by the Great Sages and other Quasi-Emperors working together.
Due to the lack of top-tier power, the Canglan World experienced a long period of darkness. Countless powerhouses fell in resisting the invasion of foreign races, and the blood of countless beings spilled across the Void Realm.
Several times, those weak nodes not guarded by supreme powerhouses were almost breached, but with many Cultivators fighting selflessly, they ultimately held on tenaciously.
As time passed, the number of supreme powerhouses slowly increased, and everyone's lives became slightly better.
It can be said that throughout the long years of resisting foreign races, the Canglan World was mostly at a disadvantage.
It wasn't until the appearance of one person that the Canglan World for the first time gained a very clear upper hand.
That person was Lian Yuezhou!
Lian Yuezhou seemed to have condensed all the Luck of the Canglan World. From a young age, she displayed extremely astonishing talent, rising rapidly at an incredibly fast pace, becoming the fastest Cultivator to Break through to Quasi-Emperor in a million years!
After Breaking through to Quasi-Emperor, her cultivation speed did not slow down. She then cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor Nine Heavens at an extremely fast pace, becoming the ninth supreme powerhouse of the Canglan World.
And in battles against foreign races, she had displayed extremely astonishing combat power.
Currently, the Canglan World has nine supreme powerhouses, all at the same Realm—the Peak of Quasi-Emperor Nine Heavens.
Among the nine supreme powerhouses, there is no definitive answer as to who is the strongest. Even if Lian Yuezhou is not the strongest, she is definitely among the top three.
"Master is indeed powerful. It seems truly difficult to achieve Dual Cultivation with her to deduce secret techniques," Li Xuanfeng thought silently.
There was no clear answer as to which of the nine supreme powerhouses was the strongest, but Li Xuanfeng felt it might be Lian Yuezhou.
Lian Yuezhou has one main body and eight avatars, totaling nine true bodies.
Although the avatars vary in strength, the second avatar Li Xuanfeng is bound to is not actually the strongest.
Above this avatar, there is an even stronger avatar, which has already reached the Emperor Realm!
Lian Yuezhou can rank among the nine supreme powerhouses with just her main body. If all her avatars were to Fuse with her main body, wouldn't her strength increase?
So Li Xuanfeng felt that the strongest of the nine supreme powerhouses was most likely Lian Yuezhou, which means his Master should be the strongest person in the current Canglan World!
"The Eastern Xuan Boundary Pass that Master guards is one of the safest Boundary Passes. She once slaughtered countless foreign races, striking fear into their hearts, so much so that foreign races even reduced the number of personnel attacking the Eastern Xuan Boundary Pass," Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.
The so-called Boundary Passes are the nine weak Formation nodes of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Universe Grand Formation. They are the final checkpoints for resisting foreign race invasions. Once any of them are breached, it means the foreign races have successfully invaded the Canglan World.
Viewed from an extremely high vantage point, the Canglan World resembles a series of continents floating on an ocean.
There are a total of one hundred and eight continents, divided into five regions: Eastern Xuan Domain, Southern Nether Domain, Western Azure Domain, Northern Desolate Domain, and Central Heaven Domain.
Each great domain has a Domain Lord, and the Domain Lord is a supreme powerhouse, each guarding a Boundary Pass. These Boundary Passes are also named after their corresponding great domains.
For example, the Domain Lord of the Eastern Xuan Domain, Lian Yuezhou, guards the Boundary Pass called the Eastern Xuan Boundary Pass.
In addition, the endless sea also has territorial divisions: East Sea, South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea.
The four sea regions are all controlled by the Sea Clan, and each has a supreme powerhouse.
The East Sea is governed by the Dragon Clan, the West Sea by the Kun Clan, the East Sea by the Teng Snake Clan, and the North Sea by the Black Tortoise Clan.
The Clan Chiefs of these four top Sea Clans are the four supreme powerhouses, each guarding a Boundary Pass, which are also named after their sea regions.
"The foreign race attacks are becoming more frequent, and there are even supreme powerhouses colluding with foreign races. The Boundary Pass might be short-handed. It's time to meet those guys," Li Xuanfeng thought.
From the information transmitted by Lian Yuezhou, the Boundary Pass will definitely not be peaceful going forward.
