After a year, the shock and panic brought to the people by the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance's capture of Xuanji Cave has finally faded away a lot.
During this year, Star Source Continent seemed to be relatively calm, and the turbulent situation gradually subsided.
However, there are many things that are changing secretly that ordinary people are not aware of.
Even the thoughts of hundreds of millions of people have been subtly affected.
In everyone's perception, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance is already equal to Xuanjidong Tian and is qualified to take charge of the Star Source Continent.
The people of Li and many empires and forces are no longer so resistant and afraid of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance taking over the Star Source Continent.
These subtle changes may seem insignificant.
But in fact, this is destined to cause no major problems when the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance takes over the Star Source Continent in the future.
…
In Xuanji Cave, in the divine palace among the mountains.
Ji Tianxing left the distorted time and space and ended his forty-five-year retreat in self-cultivation.
That's right, while the outside world has spent the past year, he has been in seclusion in the pagoda for more than forty years.
Hard work pays off.
After this retreat, he consumed more than 200 billion worth of cultivation resources and finally achieved his goal.
He successfully broke through to the eighth level of the God King Realm!
He also deduced and perfected the fifth-level technique of the God-Slaying Technique.
His combat effectiveness has increased several times, and his Shinto foundation is also very solid.
Now, even if he faces the Jinyuan Dragon Emperor head-on, he is more confident.
"Whoosh!"
Leaving the sacred palace in the mountains, he set foot on the high sky and rushed to the exit of the Xuanji Cave.
After staying in Xuanji Cave for a year without seeing the Jinyuan Dragon Emperor, he finally got tired of staying there.
Quietly thinking, he wanted to go out for a walk and find some guy to settle old scores.
Not long after, he passed through the sealed exit of the Jiuqu Tianhe Formation and left the Xuanji Cave.
Crossing the top of Tianhe Mountain, he flew north as fast as the aurora, thinking to himself: "It's been a year, and if that guy has already escaped from Star Source Continent, let's let this matter go.
It would be embarrassing if he stayed and still hoped to escape the disaster..."
After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade slip and planned to ask Ao Jinying about the situation.
After all, Ao Jinying has intelligence power and is relatively clear about all news.
After sending the summons, Ji Tianxing continued on his way, rushing to the north in an instant.
Soon, two quarters of an hour passed, and Ao Jinying also sent a message back.
Ji Tianxing took a look at the jade slip and immediately frowned, with a sneer on his face.
"Haha... I really guessed it, but this guy is quite interesting."
After muttering to himself, he put away the jade slips and continued on his way.
…
In the nebula cave sky, it is as calm and peaceful as ever.
Although the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance's capture of Xuanji Cave made Star Source Continent turbulent for a year.
But during this year, the Nebula Cave has always been closed and isolated from the world.
The patriarchs and elders of the Qiongqi tribe neither have contact with outside forces nor get involved in the battle between the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and Xuanji Cave Heaven.
It seems that no matter who is in charge of Star Source Continent, it has nothing to do with the Qiongqi Clan.
The entrance and exit of Xingyun Cave has always been closed, and tribesmen are not allowed to enter or exit.
Even when the clan leader returned from the bloody battle a year ago, he ordered the construction of two more divine formations to seal and reinforce the entrances and exits.
More than 4,000 members of the Qiongqi tribe thought that the leader of the Blood Shang tribe was determined to avoid worldly affairs and decided to go into seclusion to practice cultivation.
This puzzled many tribesmen, and they discussed and complained in private.
Many young experts believe that the current chaotic situation in Star Source Continent is a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to gain profits and make a fortune.
In fact, if the leader of the Xue Shang clan can use clever methods, he will definitely be able to achieve great benefits for the Qiongqi clan.
Those young masters thought so, so they preached and persuaded them everywhere in the clan.
After several months of deliberation and development, nearly half of the clan members agreed with this view.
They united and asked the clan leader to open the exit of Xingyun Cave, so that the Qiongqi clan could join in the chaos and take advantage of the situation to make profits.
However, the proposals of many tribesmen were severely rejected by Xue Shang.
Not only that, Xue Shang also became furious and severely punished several deacons and young masters who took the lead in provoking trouble.
After this incident, the clan members knew Xue Shang's determination, and no longer mentioned taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and they all stayed in Xingyun Cave to practice.
Everyone thought that the patriarch wanted to be alone and wait and see what would happen.
Only a few elders knew that the leader of the Blood Shang Clan was not just waiting for a price, waiting for the battle between the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Xuanji Cave Heaven to end before deciding on his stance.
But... the leader of the Blood Shang clan is very anxious. He is worried every day and has trouble sleeping and eating!
Although he claimed to his tribe that he had been practicing in seclusion in a secret room.
But in fact, Xue Shang just rested for a month.
After his condition returned to its peak, he never practiced for a day again.
He couldn't calm down and practice at all, he was always frowning and worried about the future of the Qiongqi clan.
Confused, several elders asked Xue Shang many times what was going on that made him so worried.
At first, Xue Shang was hesitant and hesitant, talking about other things and refusing to reveal anything.
Two or three months after the incident, Xue Shang probably couldn't bear the pressure and mental torture, so he finally revealed the truth.
It turned out that when the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance attacked the Xuanji Cave, he took refuge in the Xuanji Cave without telling his tribe, and formed a grudge against the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
Only then did several elders understand that Xue Shang was afraid of the revenge of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
We are all smart people, and we all know some truths without discussing them.
For example, after the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance captured the Xuanji Cave, it seemed that they did nothing and did not expand their power in a big way to eliminate their opponents.
However, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance is to stabilize people's hearts, which does not mean that it will not liquidate various hostile forces after the situation stabilizes.
What Xue Shang did to the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance will definitely be settled by the Queen of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
So, Xue Shang and several elders stayed in the secret room to discuss countermeasures together.
Someone suggested that Xue Shang and the Qiongqi tribe should abandon the Nebula Cave and escape from the Star Source Continent.
With the strength of the Qiongqi clan, even if they go to other continents, they can still create a world.
But this proposal was rejected by Xue Shang and several elders.
The Qiongqi tribe has occupied Xingyun Cave for more than 20,000 years, and has long regarded this place as their home, and all their forces and industries are in the surrounding areas.
Leaving your homeland and fleeing to other continents is bound to be difficult and dangerous, and you have to start from scratch.
Xue Shang and several elders were reluctant to give up Xingyun Cave, and the thousands of tribesmen would definitely not agree either.
Soon, another elder made a suggestion to submit to the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and apologize for the previous incident, hoping to gain forgiveness from the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
Of course, this is just a temporary measure to resolve the hatred between the Qiongqi Clan and the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, and will not actually join the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
After thinking about it for a few days, Xue Shang actually agreed to the proposal and wrote a letter in person, sending a gift to the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, apologizing, and asking for peace.
