‘The Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Upper Province can no longer send people to the Lower Province?’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. The joy he felt from his breakthrough disappeared in just a blink of an eye!
Perhaps, it did not affect most people from the Upper Province since most of them did not go to the Lower Province often. However, this news was like a lightning bolt that struck Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, this was because his family and friends were in the Lower Province!
‘Maybe it’s just a few Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Upper Province that have problems,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself in an attempt to calm and console himself. How was it possible for all the Inter-province Transportation Formations that connected the Upper Province and the Lower Province to have problems? He refused to believe it. He chose to think of it as a baseless rumor.
However, as Duan Ling Tian wandered the streets of Sin City, the news he heard made it hard for him to hold onto his belief.
‘I-Is it really possible that there are problems with all the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Upper Province?’ Duan Ling Tian frowned. If there was really no way to go to the Lower Province, it meant that he would not be able to see his family and friends ever again. When he thought of this, he became even more anxious and distressed.



I heard that it’s the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Lower Province that have problems… There’s nothing wrong with the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Upper Province. We can’t activate the Inter-province Transportation Formations here because they’re affected by the problems with the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Lower Province.


I’ve heard about it as well… We need to rely on the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transportation Formations to receive us when we go to the Lower Province. On the other hand, when one comes to the Upper Province from the Lower Province, one doesn’t have to rely on the Upper Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations. It’s one-sided and random.


Now that there’s something wrong with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations, this means people from the Lower Province won’t be able to come to the Upper Province and vice versa.


I’ve never wanted to go to the Lower Province anyway. It’s so remote that birds don’t even shit there. It doesn’t bother me that there’s something wrong with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations.

Similar conversations could be heard all over Sin City.
Most people had the mindset where if something did not affect them, the matter would be irrelevant to them.
To the people in the Upper Province, it did not affect them much even if they could not go to the Lower Province.
However, people soon discovered things were not as simple as they thought.

Do you really think the matter is so simple and the only consequence is that we can’t go to the Lower Province?

Soon after, a terrifying news began to spread in Sin City like a wildfire. It was spread by the sectless cultivators in Sin City.



If there’s a problem with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations, it means there’s also a problem with the Sealant Grand Formation our predecessors set up hundreds of thousands of years ago!


Are you telling me you don’t know the purpose of the Sealant Grand Formation that has existed for hundreds and thousands of years?


The Sealant Grand Formation is the Formation that seals the Land of Exile… More accurately, it seals the tear in the space barrier that stands between the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Land of Exile!


You don’t even know what the Land of Exile is? We’ll have to start with the war that happened during the Human-Devil Era 100,000 year ago…

…
Human-Devil Era.
Land of Exile.
Devil Clans.
These things that were previously not known were made known to the public, causing panic in the city.
At this point, many people learned about how dark it was 100,000 years ago during the Human-Devil Era. During that era, a group of Devil Clans invaded the Dao Martial Saint Land from the Land of Exile through the tear in the space barrier. They massacred everyone they encountered and absorbed their vital essence and life blood, turning them into dried corpses. This was 90% of the devils’ means to improve their strength.


‘Human-Devil Era? Land of Exile? Devil clans?’
During this time, Duan Ling Tian also learned about the Human-Devil Era, the Land of Exile, and the Devil clans. ‘There are a few devils at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? The Lower Province’s Inter-province Transportation Formations share the Defensive Formation with the Sealant Grand Formation? If there’s a problem with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations, it means there’s also a problem with the Sealant Grand Formation. It’s likely that it can no longer seal the tear in the space barrier that stands between the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Land of Exile!’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim.
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian first learned he might not be able to return to the Lower Province, his first thought was that he would not be able to see his family and friends anymore. At that time, he was not worried about their safety. Since his father was at the Azure Cloud Mansion, he believed his father would be able to keep everyone safe. However, that was before he found out the Devil clans might invade the Lower Province.
‘If the Devil clans really invade the Dao Martial Saint Land, they’ll invade the Lower Province first. 100,000 thousand years ago, the Dao Martial Saint Land hasn’t been split into the Upper and Lower Province so there were many powerhouses, including powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, currently in the Lower Province, even powerhouses at the Quintessential Stage are a rarity, let alone powerhouses at the Saint Celestial Stage! If the Devil clans invade the Lower Province, I’m afraid no humans will survive!’
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was about to go crazy from being worried! His family and friends were all in the Lower Province. If the Devil clans invaded, it would be impossible for them to fight back with their strength!
…

The Devil clans will invade the Dao Martial Saint Land again? They’ll only be invading the Lower Province, right? The Upper Province is a different realm from the Lower Province after all!


Doesn’t this mean it won’t affect us even if the Devil clans come from the Land of Exile through the tear in the space barrier?


That seems to be the case. I’ve wasted my time worrying about nothing. I think we’re safe.


If the Devil clans really invade the Lower Province, the people there are finished. However, since there are problems with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formations, this means the Devil clans won’t be able to come to the Upper Province!




Previously, I’d planned to go to the Lower Province. It’s fortunate that I ended up not going. Otherwise, I would’ve been stranded there!

Many people in Sin City expressed their relief as they discussed among themselves.
However, similar to when the first news broke, they were quickly refuted.

You think it won’t affect the Upper Province and they won’t be able to come here? Are you dreaming?


That’s right! There is no shortage of devils at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and Formation experts in the Devil Clans. It’s within their abilities to repair or even set up a new Inter-province Transportation Formation. At that time, they’ll be able to come to the Upper Province!


Are you so naive to think the devils are so useless?

As this news circulated, many people in Sin City felt the precarious situation they were in. After all, the Devil clans would come to the Upper Province sooner or later!

We can only hope now that it’s just a small malfunction with the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Lower Province and it doesn’t affect the space barrier. Otherwise, it won’t only be the Lower Province that would be decimated, even the Upper Province would be decimated!


The Human-Devil Era! It’s too scary to think about. I hope there won’t be an era like that again!


Just hearing about the Devil clans send chills up my spine. I really don’t want to fight them. If it’s possible, I don’t want to encounter any of the devils at all.



The atmosphere in Sin City gradually grew tense.
As time passed, almost the entire Upper Province learned about this matter. Everyone felt a sense of danger.
Many people went to the various Inter-province Transportation Formations to see for themselves if it was working or not. Duan Ling Tian was one of these people.
For a month, Duan Ling Tian traveled at his fastest speed to various Inter-province Transportation Formations near Sin City. After that, he even went to check on those that were located further away, but the results were the same. It was true that the Inter-province Transportation Formations could no longer send people to the Lower Province!
‘I-Is there really a problem with the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transformation Formation? Have the Devil clans invade the Lower Province? Is this the dawn of a new Human-Devil Era?’ Various thoughts flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as his heart sank. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. However, there was nothing he could do no matter how worried he was. At this moment, he felt absolutely powerless!

Elder Huo… Is there another way?
Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo solemnly.
A few days ago, Duan Ling Tian had asked Elder Huo whether there was another way to return to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land without using an Inter-province Transportation Formation.
Elder Huo had told him it was only possible if Duan Ling Tian was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and had passed the Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, he would be able to tear the space barrier between Upper and Lower Province by sheer force.
Naturally, this was not the most realistic solution. Even with a violet Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Ling Tian would require quite a long time to break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, let alone the fact that he currently only possessed an indigo Innate Spiritual Root!
As the saying went, ‘Water from a distance won’t be able to put out a fire nearby!’
If too much time passed, there would not be any living person left in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
