However, up ahead, there were many camps densely packed together, with various symbols on them, obviously belonging to different sects.

Ye Luo also noticed that among them were quite a few small inland factions, but the larger Sects were absent.

For instance, Great Sects like Tianzong and Sword Cultivating Sect did not make an appearance.

After thinking it through, Ye Luo suddenly understood, these major forces once waged war against the South Territory and always looked down on it.

Given that, how could they possibly lower themselves to come here! Or even if they came, they wouldn’t do so openly!

For example, they might hide amongst the small factions, or sneak in quietly. Great Sects naturally have their own dignity and pride.

At this time, cultivators occasionally passed by Ye Luo and his companions. Given the sheer number of cultivators here, they didn’t pay attention to Ye Luo and his group. Ye Luo also wasn’t concerned; aside from the Dragon Clan, no one could recognize them.

However, Feng Yun Xiner of the Wind Cloud Sect could recognize him, but since Wind Cloud Sect is a major sect here, and Feng Yun Xiner is the Sect Master, she is too high up to notice him.

"Master, let’s go over there!" said Nuonuo excitedly.

She might be seeing such a spectacle for the first time and felt a bit thrilled.

Ye Luo shook his head, "We can’t go in there. Going in would be akin to seeking death!"

Nuonuo was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

Near the Demon Beasts Mountain Range, the major forces of the South Territory had set up camp, and they even demarcated areas in their camps, with a clear boundary. If anyone dared to cross it, sorry, they’d be killed without mercy!

This is how South Territory Sects operate, generally speaking — domineering and straightforward, using their fists to make a point.

"These people are excessive, aren’t they? This is nothing short of robbery! Marking a spot just means it’s theirs!" said Nuonuo, pouting.

Ye Luo couldn’t help but laugh; in fact, he’d seen far worse than this.

"Alright, that place isn’t suitable for us anyway. Let’s go!"

"Go? Where to?" Nuonuo asked.

Ye Luo chuckled, "Didn’t I promise to let you go through a training? Follow me!"

Then, Ye Luo and his group headed in the opposite direction of the Demon Beasts Mountain Range.

There were far fewer cultivators here, and one might walk for an hour without encountering another cultivator!

Moreover, the environment here became quite harsh.

According to Ye Luo’s judgment, this must be the depths of the spatial rift.

Spatial rifts were quite numerous; with each step, they needed to cautiously probe. The spatial rifts here weren’t to be trifled with. Even if Ye Luo got caught in one, there was a huge chance it would swallow him.

Furthermore, the Power of Laws ravaged more wildly.

"Can you withstand it here?" Ye Luo turned to ask.

Nuonuo’s body was already trembling incessantly.

"Master, this is the limit for me!"

She said with a pale face.

Ye Luo nodded slightly; in reality, this far exceeded his expectations. After all, even he found it quite unbearable here, indicating the great pain Nuonuo was enduring!

This girl’s determination was completely disproportionate to her frail appearance.

"Alright, quickly activate the Great Saint Physique!" Ye Luo instructed.

In the next moment, with a bang, Nuonuo’s skin and flesh suddenly burst open.

Seeing this, Ye Luo’s mouth twitched slightly.

The Great Saint Physique wasn’t about alleviating the pain to enhance physical strength; rather, it was the exact opposite, maximizing the pain. Once this cultivation technique was activated, the injuries the body suffered would greatly increase!

No wonder this cultivation technique was considered masochistic; both its foundational principle and practical effect unequivocally verified this view.

Yet seeing a cute little girl suddenly turn into a blood-covered gourd was inevitably unsettling.

Ye Luo quickly took out a small bottle from his pocket, filled with golden liquid.

After opening the bottle, he poured the liquid over the little girl’s body.

Immediately, not only did the wounds on the little girl’s body not heal, but they boiled over as if in a pot.

"Oh no, Master, you’re actually pouring Dragon Clan blood on me, it’s disgusting!" Soon enough, Nuonuo grumbled discontentedly.

"Stop complaining. Quickly absorb and refine it; this is the essence of the blood I’ve extracted, containing a considerable amount of Dragon Soul power, which is greatly beneficial for the body!" Ye Luo said, glaring.

At this critical moment, this little girl still had the mind to focus on such things.

"Master, you also have Dragon Clan blood. If I absorb this Dragon Soul power, won’t we have the same bloodstream then?"

Ye Luo was stunned, what’s going on in her head!

"If you don’t absorb it, your body might just melt away!"

Finally, Nuonuo fell silent and began to refine the Dragon Soul power.

Naturally, Ye Luo had gone through the art of body exchange; more importantly, he possessed Dragon Soul power, making him a pure Dragon Clan member.

But Nuonuo was different; she was merely refining her body. Her bloodline could still only be enhanced through cultivation.

The benefits for her, however, were substantial.

Though her body was close to disintegration, new flesh began to grow, only to be slowly worn away by the Power of Laws, and then regrown.

Ultimately, Ye Luo couldn’t bear to watch anymore. The extent of pain here was unimaginable, even for him.

Sitting cross-legged, he too began activating the Great Saint Physique; the environment here was also greatly beneficial for him.

Time passed by the second, but the two remained motionless in their positions, like statues.

However, changes unfolded over at the Demon Beasts Mountain Range.

It was not that something happened to the demon beasts, but a few major forces began to fight.

Initially, it was just a small faction from the South Territory clashing with a small inland faction, and gradually, more and more factions got involved, turning it into chaos.

In this chaos, it turned out that the inland small factions had an endless stream of experts, Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators were as numerous as if they cost nothing!

Evidently, these major forces were covertly participating under the guise of small factions.

Nevertheless, outsiders wouldn’t know which faction they belonged to, so these experts had no need to hide.

Moreover, when they entered the Demon Beasts Mountain Range, such conflicts were inevitable, so there was nothing wrong with warming up beforehand.

Every contention at the Demon Beasts Mountain Range was accompanied by corpses strewn across the field.

People of the South Territory had little concept of life and death; when one died, they were simply gone, as commonplace as daily meals.

However, what others didn’t know was that the Sect Leaders of the major South Territory factions had gathered for a secret conspiracy.
