All of a sudden the Lightning Hall Sectmaster felt an indescrible aura come upon him this was none other than Yuan Li probing him to how strong he was. It was at that moment that Yuan Li appeared and looked at Ye Cheng and said "Nephew?" Why have you called me... This better be important.." Yuan Li said these words quite in an aggressive way however he had a bright smile on his face and Ye Cheng knew he was likley acting just to scare the Lightning Hall Sect Head. 

Afterall Yuan Li whilst travelling was able to sense that Ye Cheng was perfectly fine and in fact in a bit of a joyful mood however he still regardless decided to put on a somewhat angry tone and choice of words.

Ye Cheng quickly replied with "Uncle! He wants me to become his disciple when I already have a master and he isn't even as strong as you!" Obviously the Lightning Hall Elder couldn't tell that Yuan Li was actually the wide known Yuan Li as people rarely if ever barely got a glimpse of his face and the only ones who did were the council themselves. 

Yuan Li immediately then said "humph! You can at best be considered half a step into Soul..... But even if there were one hundread of you at Soul they wouldn't be able to do anything to me!" The Lightning Sect Master then grew scared and replied in a frightened tone

"May I ask this seniors name?...." The term Senior wasn't determined by age rather by strength however the Lightning Sect Master knew for certain to be in a realm higher than Soul it was likely Yuan Li was definitely older than him. 

Yuan Li then said "Yua Nil! Don't tell anyone about this meeting and if possible try and get him into Divine Lightning Alliance" The Divine Lightning Alliance was an alliance consisting of all Lightning (No thunder) cultivators Yuan Li was capable of trying to get Ye Cheng by himself with little dificulties however he felt the journey for Ye Cheng would be then to easy for him.

Yuan Li turned to Ye Cheng and said "Meet me home soon I have something to talk to you about" All of a sudden Yuan Li then disappeared and thought to himself "Ye Cheng must faces his tribulations by himself... I cannot help him or I may damage his path unintentionally...." 

Near a battlefield known as the "Crimson Land" as it was covered with blood from East to West and North to South all around the places with very fex expceptions. The Infernal Dusk Empire and the Holy Illumination Empire were currently fighting each other afterall the two of them were enemies and the end-war would eventually happen and even the neutral Zhenren Empire wouldn't be safe. 

The Zhenren of the Three Empires was without a doubt the weakest and without the Yuan Clan they would be considered a somewhat big sum of strength stronger than Teng Nation however not by a lot to the point without the Yuan Clan if the Zhenren Empire and Teng Nation fought Zhenren Empire would win however with atleast half their resources depleted and their manpower weakened to the point of barely being the same strength as Teng Nation. Afterall most of the powerful cultivators came from either the Grand Yuan Clan or the Zhenren Imperial Clan.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

The Holy and Infernal empire were constantly fighting each other with their beliefs. However it was a wide known fact that the two empires were only branches which was why they were yet to be life or death battle between the two empires as they were being held back.

Each of the Three Empires roughly had one hundread countries in terms of size on average the country had a size of one million and five hundread thousand square km with populations of one million to even five hundread million for the main countries of Great Kingdoms and Empires (Kingdoms have main countries where their capital is located and obviously the most amount of people are there). However the Three Empires weren't the only major power force present on the continent but they were definitely the strongest.

Other forces such as "Mystic Palace" and "Arcane Castle", "Second Establishment", "Forthright Freedom" and Divine Lightning Alliance were considered the only forces capable of matching the Empires however that was only if all five of the forces came together. 

Mystic Palace and Arcane Castle were very heavily affiliated with each other with deep roots together and they could be considered almost the exact same however there was one big difference Mystic Palace had thousands of disciples whilst Arcane Castle at most only had one hundread. In all other regards they were extremely simmilar such as their techniques and the alike.

Second Establishment was an unknown organisation which appeared all of a sudden on the continent and there were even rumors that it was called Second Establishment as a branch from the Golden Dragon Continent. The people were extremely mysterious and were all low-key and barely at all made any movements however in truth they feared the solitary enlightenment expert at the continet to make any(I ll get to this soon). 

Forthright Freedom was an extremely powerful organisation and of the five was without a doubt the strongest and barely considered to be stronger than Teng Nation they were simmilar to Holy Illumination Empire however they didn't have the same beliefs but their moralities were very simmilar. 

The Divine Lightning Alliance was considered the weakest of the five and only recently joined as one of the strongest organisations. As to why Yuan Li would have a little difficulties wasn't due to his strength or anything but rather it would seem disrespectful to the Divine Lightning Alliance as their standings as a top tier force.

However the true fear wasn't Forthright Freedom but rather Second Establishment as in the past a Soul King from Infernal Dusk Empire found himself wandering their territory and within the span of a single day the Soul King's Life Crystal which signified their status of being alive or dead had been destroyed been that the Soul King had died.

It wasn't until a few hundread years after that the Infernal Dusk Empire decided to reveal the news by trying to get the other three at the time forces to attack Second Establishment. 

Unbeknown was that there was currently something developing happening at the battlefield between the Holy Illumination and Infernal Dusk Empire.
