A few days later, the yearly gathering of the six sects came to an end.
Gu Bei and his best friend Lu Piao went to the League Hall to recruit for his new "Blue Wing League".
Xiao Yan left one of his bodies in the Divine Feathers Sect and teleported to the Gods Craft Pavilion.
He still kept his void-form as he only wanted to add all of their books to his LoHP and to read them after.
During the next few weeks, he stayed home to forge artifacts, starting from rank 1 to 7.
Beyond, he had to do it with the body of Xuan Yu who was already a peak Stage-9 Martial Ancestor.
With the help of the LoHP, Xiao Yan found the last few slaves that his underlings couldn't find.
Right now, Xuan Yu was in charge of nearly six thousand underlings, two thousand of which were Sky Origin Divine Clan experts.
He was the only one who had the clan's slave within the Draconic Ruins Realm.
Since there was nothing else to do, he told the underlings to cultivate their new cultivation techniques.
The clan members who lived in the Endless Wilderness already received enough resources for ten years and he told them to stop selling themselves.
——————————
One day, when he just finished forging a Rank 10 Artifact, a rainbow enveloped the eleventh body of his stone-artifact.
{Finally}, thought Xiao Yan, {I was going to think that he would never show up}
He knew that it was the Emperor of the Sky Origin Divine Clan who used a technique to bring him in his own realm.
After his loss to the Sage Emperor, Emperor Tian Yuan's remnant soul kept looking after the members of his clan.
Xuan Yu cupped his hands and respectfully said, "Descendant Xuan Yu greets Ancestor Tian Yuan"
An old voice asked with shock, "Brat, how do you know me?"
"I was bought and released by the holder of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book, Xiao Yan. He is now my friend. He asked me to assemble the rest of our clan and to wait here until the ancestor revealed himself with the Gargantuan Intent Divine Technique. We need the ancestor to give us the Myriad Spiritual Sword Array to help us into the fight against the Sage Emperor"
After a few seconds of silence, the voice said, "Did he tell you how strong the Sage Emperor was?"
"He told me that he should be at least at the peak of the Deity Rank, but the most frightening thing about him is the thousands of Deity Rank underlings serving him. The plan is to accumulate all of the resources possible, then for my two thousand brothers to cultivate to the Deity Rank inside of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book and stay hidden there until the final battle"
There was too much informations for Tian Yuan to doubt him but there was still something he wanted to know.
"Why didn't he release the rest of the clan members from the curse?"
"To be sure that everyone would obey my orders on the battlefield. The fight is too important to take the slightest risk"
Tian Yuan then gave him all of his treasures, consisting of artifacts, ores, Divine Phaseless Fruits and so on.
——————————
Having done everything needed in that part of the Draconic Ruins Realm, Xuan Yu and his six thousands underlings went inside of Xiao Yan's Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting to cultivate.
Xiao Yan didn't use the TDSB on the painting-artifact.
Right now was the time to play with Gu Heng!
——————————
Gu Bei already recruited around three thousand underlings and judged that it was time to head to the outside world!
They received a message from Yin Wufeng stating that his Yin League would hunt the Blue Wing League if they dared to step out of the Skysoul Institute.
Yin Wufeng was the first-in-line successor of the Yin Clan, which was only second to the top three families of the sect.
He was also Gu Heng's friend and that's why he was against Gu Bei.
Coincidentally, one of Xiao Yan's underlings, Yin Long, was also from the Yin Clan.
Xiao Yan teleported to the Ling Jade Deity Lake to take its Deity Root.
He then told his eight hundred underlings to officially disband their forces and to form a new one with Yin Long as their leader.
When Yin Long started to attack Yin Wufeng's Deity's Lake, Gu Bei did the same with Gu Heng's.
To the public, Gu Heng's force was much stronger than Gu Bei's.
Even if they both had three thousand underlings, Gu Heng had hundreds of Heavenly Axis expert while Gu Bei only had one, himself.
But his friends from the Tiny World were like him, at the peak of the Heavenly Axis Realm.
Taking into account their combat techniques, it was a given that Gu Heng's side got totally crushed.
After killing Gu Heng and his underlings guarding his three Deity Lakes, the Blue Wing League settled on the Heiyun Deity Lake.
Xiao Yan then gave everyone their compiled cultivation techniques to reach the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm.
He also gave them enough Spiritual Stone Essences to rapidly become 9-Star Heavenly Star experts.
By the time Gu Heng formed his new body and assembled all of his underlings, the dead Heavenly Fate experts of Gu Bei's side were back to the Heiyun Deity Lake and already cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Star realm.
Gu Heng didn't know of this, he thought that if he concentrated all of his Blood Moon League in one spot, he would crush the Blue Wing League.
After all, he already saw them in action.
He was absolutely sure that he could defeat Gu Bei!
The foul attacked the Heiyun Deity Lake, giving himself and all of his underlings a second death.
He then regrouped them on each of his other two lakes.
His moves were so predictable that it earned him a third death.
