Chapter 600: After the Great War, Peace Returns to Central Plains!
After the battle in Holy Pill City, the entire Dou Qi Continent was shaken to its core. The entire land trembled as a massive upheaval began.
Many people were still struggling to process the aftermath of the battle the power dynamics of the Central Plains had been completely reshuffled.
The once-revered "One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions" had been nearly obliterated, leaving only a few surviving factions. These remaining powers had now banded together to form an overwhelmingly terrifying force the Heavenly Court Alliance.
The war between the Heavenly Court and the Soul Hall had completely shattered people's understanding of the world.
The legendary Dou Saint-level experts, who were once considered untouchable beings, had been nothing more than insignificant figures in this battle.
It was a true clash of the continent's most supreme forces.
Although the battle ended in a devastating defeat for the Soul Hall, no one dared to underestimate or dismiss them.
Both sides were absolute titans, and even after the war, the crisis had not subsided. In fact, many factions now had to make a choice and quickly.
One wrong step… and complete annihilation awaited.
Yet, despite the Heavenly Court's victory, many were still drawn to the Soul Hall.
Because…
The true terror of the Soul Hall was not something the newly formed Heavenly Court could resist just yet.
Especially considering… the mysterious emergence of the Heavenly Court's new ruler, the Alliance Leader of Cai Lin Pavilion.
Rumors spread that after the war, this Alliance Leader had been gravely wounded and would be incapacitated for a long time.
Now, it was clear which side had the advantage.
The Soul Hall's surviving Elders secretly contacted various factions in the Central Plains, drawing them into their fold.
But these fools had no idea what kind of nightmare they were walking into.
The Soul Hall was ruthless even towards its own.
Betrayal was inevitable, and aligning with them was akin to courting death.
And indeed that was exactly what happened.
While Wu Tian was recovering, the Heavenly Court did not rest.
A brutal counterattack was launched against the remaining Soul Halls.
The Hall of Humanity, which had been significantly weakened after the war, fell in just half a day.
Only a handful of their experts remained, alongside other factions that had aligned with them.
Their fate was sealed.
From the moment they sided with the Soul Hall, they had become nothing more than pawns to be sacrificed.
The Hall of Earth fell next.
The Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, who had barely survived Void Devouring Flame's absorption, had no escape this time.
A coalition of Pill Tower's Grand Elders surrounded him, leaving him no way out.
He chose to self-destruct rather than be captured.
Had it not been for the combined power of the Pill Tower's ancient formations, his self-destruction would have wiped out everyone.
With his death, the Hall of Earth was completely annihilated, and despite their efforts, the Soul Hall's remaining Elders were swiftly eliminated.
Finally, they reached the Hall of Heaven the birthplace of the Soul Hall's master, Soul Extinguishing Life.
It was expected to have the strongest defense.
However…
When Queen Medusa led her forces to attack, they found it completely abandoned.
Not even a single soul remained.
They had vanished.
This abrupt retreat caused great concern among the Heavenly Court's leaders.
The Soul Hall's ability to evacuate so swiftly proved that their intelligence network was still frighteningly efficient.
The most alarming discovery was that the prison cells where Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan had been held were now empty.
Only a faint afterimage remained.
And that shadow belonged to none other than Grand Heaven Elder the most powerful figure within the Soul Hall.
He had escaped.
Grand Heaven Elder knew that the Soul Hall was finished.
Trying to continue operating in the Central Plains was pointless.
As soon as he received orders from the Soul Clan, he immediately led the remaining forces back to the Soul Realm.
The Soul Hall was no longer needed.
Their identities and true masters had been exposed there was no point in maintaining a front anymore.
Without strong leadership, the remnants of the Soul Hall were nothing more than wolves without fangs.
Soul Extinguishing Life had been defeated, but the true blame lay with those incompetent fools beneath him.
They had ignored the growing power of Cai Lin Pavilion and the Heavenly Court.
And when they finally took them seriously
They were already too late.
They called for reinforcements from the Soul Clan, even convincing Void Devouring Flame to descend in person.
Yet, even with his presence, they had suffered a humiliating defeat.
That so-called Alliance Leader of Cai Lin Pavilion Wu Tian
Had played them all.
He had pretended to be weak, allowing the Soul Hall to waste resources and expose their hand…
Before devouring them in one final, decisive strike.
And now, because of this single battle, the Soul Clan itself had been exposed to the world.
The other Ancient Eight Clans had begun making their move.
The sudden emergence of a faction as powerful as the Heavenly Court forced them to take action.
And to their shock
They discovered that one of the legendary Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade pieces…
Was in Wu Tian's hands.
No wonder the Soul Clan had gone to such lengths to destroy them.
Had the other Ancient Clans known sooner…
They would have made their move as well.
But for now
They remained in hiding, waiting for the perfect time to strike.
Time passed quickly…
Regardless of what the Ancient Clans were planning, in Holy Pill City, Wu Tian finally awoke after half a month.
When he did
He was completely healed.
His body was perfectly intact, without a single wound or scar.
The reason?
After absorbing Three Thousand Burning Flames, Wu Tian had fully awakened the Three Thousand Star Body.
An immortal physique.
Now, unless he faced an opponent who vastly outmatched him, killing him would be impossible.
At that moment, a soft and soothing voice whispered in his ear.
"You're finally awake."
Wu Tian opened his eyes, seeing the beautiful and concerned face of Cai Lin.
His heart warmed as he gently replied:
"You've worked hard, my love. You shouldn't have to worry so much, especially in your condition."
Cai Lin shook her head, a soft smile gracing her lips as she caressed her yet-to-show belly.
"Husband, it is precisely because of my condition that I should take care of these matters."
Wu Tian sighed and murmured with excitement and impatience:
"I wonder when our little one will finally show some signs…"
Cai Lin's beautiful eyes narrowed as she shot him a playful glare.
"Oh? So now you're getting impatient? Back then… if I hadn't stopped you, you would have "
Wu Tian cleared his throat awkwardly, quickly changing the subject.
"Ahem… Right. What's the situation outside?"
Cai Lin's expression turned serious as she sat down beside him, her voice filled with curiosity.
"The three halls of the Soul Hall have been eradicated. However, Grand Heaven Elder and some remaining Elders escaped.
I spread rumors that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade is in Cai Lin Pavilion. As a result… the Soul Clan and the other Ancient Clans have vanished completely from the public eye."
