Vile Dominion

Chapter 52: Changes in the Central Continent

Li Gang was expressionless but there was surprise in his heart. 'He is only manifestation realm? And this is still the highest realm someone achieved in his belief?'

Li Gang didn't doubt his words, after all his information network is huge, and to think He Fan was able to reach Domain realm is just incredible. Li Gang believes He Fan was likely saying truth. He knows how difficult it is to reach Bow heart. He was already at Bow Intent level when he was just 11 years old. It took him about 14 more years to reach Bow Heart! He knows he is too far from Soul realm. He Fan is just little over 100 years, and shouldn't have reached Domain, it is too illogical. But he was able to sense Li Gang's realm, while Ming Chuan failed to do so!

In fact, Li Gang had already reached Bow Heart just a few days after meeting Ming Chuan. He also met him after that, but Ming Chuan failed to notice.

Ming Chuan saw Li Gang's silence and continued. "Even though I appreciated your talent, I never imagined you have already reached Bow Heart! I have to change my plans. I will teach you archery for the next few years."

Time flew in a blink of an eye. 3 years later

1st January, Year 42030 of Elemental Era

During this time, a lot of things has happened which shook the entire Central Continent.

The central continent undergone huge changes during this time. The Harmony Fang Sect has set a marriage alliance with Celestial Sect. The Verdant Forest Territory is now jointly under Celestial Sect and Harmony Fang Sect. There are rumours that Ji Changshen took a concubine from Harmony Fang Sect. Her name is Qin Hongyi. She rapidly rose in her status in last 8 years and became Holy Maiden of the sect. She reached the cultivation of Rank 4 peak stage from Rank 1 early stage in just 8 years. It is also said that he had a conflict with her brother and he killed him with just one move. Some people also say that he forced the holy maiden to be his concubine and some people say holy maiden doesn't know right from wrong and betrayed her own family.

Celestial sect and Harmony sect attacked Sword Gate from two directions to subjugate it. However, a new legend has appeared in Sword Gate: Lin Fan. 

He has made his first appearance in Sword Gate around 8 years ago with cultivation of Rank 3 early stage. He made a sensation at that time, but after that he silently disappeared from the gossips. However, during this war, he appeared like a King and swept his way through Harmony Fang Sect Warriors alone, while facing thousand Rank 4 Warriors. 

He has reached Rank 6 early stage in just 8 years! 

This incident alarmed the entire Central Continent. A genius rivalling Ji Changchen has appeared!

However, little did they know, the appearance of the genius also went down just as fast. In just a week, Ji Changchen appeared, with the cultivation of Rank 6 mid stage, and defeated Lin Fan after fighting with him for hundred rounds. At the right moment Jiang Fugui appeared and saved him. 

Ironically, Ji Changchen's glory couldn't spread much longer either. 

A small group of 15 people wearing black robe and skull mask entered Celestial Sect, and looted lot of their resource points. This caused a great sensation and even Ji Hongtian was alarmed. However, it was all useless. Not only did they succeed in looting, but under the subjugation of hundreds of Rank 6 Warriors, and tens of Kings, they escaped! And what caused the true surprise is, they were all below Rank 6 Warriors. 

One of them even fought Ji Changchen one on one, and with just the cultivation of Rank 4, he defeated Ji Changchen and escaped. This became greatest humiliation of Ji Changchen and Ji Hongtian. However, they failed to trace back even one of them.
