Even though the Li family head had seen through the essence of the sacred land...

He knew that those sacred lands were made up of selfish people.

The reason why they would do something beneficial to the entire world this time was because it would be more beneficial to their sacred lands.

If it was not for the pressure from the Hidden Edge Emperor, if it was not for the pressure from the heavenly tribulation, the sacred lands would definitely fight with each other.

Therefore, not only did the Li family head not thank the sacred lands, he was even more grateful to the Hidden Edge Emperor. This was the person who had caused the world to change.

However, many mortals did not see it that way.

They did not have the ability to obtain information, so they could only gather their own information from the water screen in the sky.

"Look, look, look. Previously, you were blaming me for not moving, but now the sacred lands are here."

"Good, husband. It's my fault. I'm short-sighted. I'll make some soup for you."

This was the conversation between a young couple from the eastern region.

Before the changes in West Ocean, this young couple from a wealthy family planned to take their children there.

Now, the sacred land had arrived in the eastern region, so they did not have to go to a foreign country.

"Haha, now the sacred land has also come to the eastern region. Before this, I thought that with the Hidden Edge Sect here, we wouldn't be able to enjoy such good fortune."

"What are you talking about? The people of the sacred land have long said that they want to divide the entire world and then evenly arrange the Emperor artifacts."

"As expected of the sacred land. Calling it 'sacred' is a great deed."

Some cultivators who had received benefits from the sacred land and who had broken through to the next realm volunteered to promote Wen Xin Dao and other sects.

Countless people agreed.

Although there were also people who held different views, their words were quickly drowned out by the praises of others.

"I'll say, it's as I expected of a sacred land that has roamed the entire Heavenly Mortal World for countless years. They are much more powerful than some of the new forces."

Someone had a hidden meaning.

"He is right. As an old force, their understanding of the world is more comprehensive and their estimation of the situation is more accurate."

Someone added fuel to the fire.

"You don't want to live anymore, do you? That's an Emperor! The only Emperor in the world right now and you want to disobey him? Do you still want to live?"

Some people were sarcastic.

These people were all people with ulterior motives.

Most of them were not sent by the sacred lands.

Most of them were of the top three sects of the eastern region: the Full Moon Pavilion, the Exquisite Temple, and the Fixed Spirit Platform.

These were the forces that were once in the top three of the eastern region.

The Hidden Edge Sect had been neither too high nor too low in this ranking. They had almost no qualifications to be compared to these three sects.

After all, the vast majority of people would only remember the top three.

If it were not for the fact that the strength of these three sects were too close, no sect would be able to occupy the number one position for a long time.

It was likely that people would only remember the number one sect in the eastern region.

With the use of this title, these three sects could offer a lot of benefits.

In the past, all the geniuses of the eastern region would choose either of these three sects as their master.

After all, they were a powerful force right at their doorstep.

The sacred lands were mostly in the central region. For young geniuses, the journey was long, and it was easy to waste time and miss the time needed to lay a foundation.

Only a very small number of people were able to go to the central region and see the wider world, such as the Li Shiyi from before.

But now, everything had changed.

The unexpected variable, the Hidden Edge Sect, had appeared.

They had actually produced an Emperor!

This change had caught the three great sects completely unprepared.

Not only had their territory shrunk, but their rankings in the eastern region had also shifted backwards.

Now if they had a genius disciple, they had to first go to the Hidden Edge Sect for their first try. Only after failing would they go to the three great sects.

With Ye Changge's support, the Hidden Edge Sect did not lack spirit stones, resources, or cultivation techniques.

Now that they were in a period of rapid expansion, their thirst for disciples was very high.

This caused the three great eastern region's leading sects to be unable to find outstanding disciples in recent years.

As for the outer region disciples, they first had to compete with the local forces in the outer region.

If those outer region geniuses came to the eastern region, their first choice would still be the Hidden Edge Sect.

This directly caused the people of those sects to be distracted.

This was not weakening the three great sects!

This was seizing them by their roots!

Although the three great sects could not bear it and did not do anything on the surface, the argument between Ye Changge and the sacred lands was a good opportunity for them to see.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As a result, rumors spread throughout the eastern region about the Hidden Edge Sect and the Hidden Edge Emperor disapproving of them.

It even affected the thoughts of the Hidden Edge Sect's own disciples.

After all, although these disciples were in the Hidden Edge Sect, their families were in the eastern region.

Sect Leader Ding was very angry about this situation.

When the sect was in good shape, some people dealt with the Hidden Edge Sect, while others fanned the flames, making him very passive.

He began to gather information about the strength of all the eastern region sects.

On Reclining Firewood Peak, Ye Changge still believed in himself.

He dealt with the materials at his own pace every day and refined the array calmly.

He also had to clean up the fragments of the Giant Pillar of the Heavenly Mortal World.

This was because he had the influence of the Emperor.

The Heavenly Bell of Legacy was the hub and the people used the water screen to observe Ye Changge's movements, although his movements were somewhat blurry.

This caused many mortals to be unable to see his actions clearly.

They did not have many professional standards to begin with, and their cultivation was not high either, so it was difficult for them to tell who would win and who would lose.

For a time, public opinion shifted by a wide margin towards the sacred lands' triumph.

On Reclining Firewood Peak, Ye Changge calmly checked his own inventory.

He had seized many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the sacred lands, and the World Barrier required even more materials.

Not only were there many of them, but the quality of the requirements were also very high.

If those sacred lands knew that the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that they had given away with their own blood would be despised by Ye Changge, they would probably feel even more uncomfortable.

But the fact was that many of the materials' qualities actually did not meet the requirements.

Fortunately, Ye Changge still had his biggest trump card.

That was the Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven.

After sowing the cave heaven's foundation for so long, Ye Changge's strength had increased a lot.

Since he signed-in every day, he would naturally obtain many strange items that were also effective for the cave heaven.

These materials greatly accelerated the cave heaven's growth.

The current cave heaven had beautiful mountains and rivers, and strange flowers and plants.

Ye Changge moved many heavenly materials and earthly treasures into the Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven.

Those strange flowers and strange plants were full of vitality and were growing towards a higher quality.

There were even a few spiritual plants that had begun to bear fruit and produce seeds.

Under the powerful spiritual energy of the cave heaven, the other treasures also became much stronger.

Most importantly, the source of spiritual energy in the cave heaven was no longer the Mortal World.

Instead, it was the wandering energy in the vast universe.

After Ye Changge's rough calculations, the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave heaven now was almost comparable to the entire Mortal World.
