Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

With Lu Feifan's current cultivation level and strength.

In addition, his level of Chaos Meditation has been improved several times.

Therefore, they quickly followed their senses and found the source of the strange feeling.

It was the place where he once played chess with Henggu. Within that body that had completely passed away, Lu Feifan sensed a power of the same origin as that in the Southeast Region.

However, at this moment, this power was as if it were entangled in misfortune, and was experiencing decline.

This is also why Lu Feifan could sense that something was wrong.

If this power were at its peak, no, even if it were only one or two tenths, Lu Feifan would have a hard time perceiving it clearly.

But now, it has declined terribly.

The so-called ominous power is the boundary marker that is constantly being strengthened.

Lu Feifan realized that this Gu Heng might not be the Gu Heng mentioned in the legends of the Qiankun Realm.

The length of time he existed is beyond imagination.

But due to special circumstances, it has become what it is now.

His lingering soul, in the long river of time, sought a way to save itself.

Perhaps he has already found it; everything in the Qiankun Realm may not be his scheme, but rather a way to save himself.

The entire Southeast Region is actually this force itself.

This is a case of transforming oneself into another realm.

This is also why Lu Feifan didn't realize the problem at first.

The boundary marker's feedback to him was that it continuously assimilated the Southeast Region, making the Southeast Region stronger and stronger, and he also gained stronger and stronger control over the Southeast Region.

This was normal in Lu Feifan's view.

In addition, the influence of this special force caused Lu Feifan to overlook this problem.

Even if an ordinary strong person controls the Southeast Region, it's essentially just a facade.

They might even suffer a backlash in the end.

A powerful being who can transform their body into the world, even if it is only a remnant of their power, is still incredibly strong.

Even celestial artifacts may eventually be corrupted without their owners even realizing it.

But the result was the unexpected Lu Feifan.

His immortal artifact is not only the strongest of its kind, but it also has another characteristic: it will always belong to him.

If others want to have it, they need his approval.

Similarly, he can take back what he owns with a single thought.

It looked like an ordinary Earth-rank weapon on his person.

If someone receives it but doesn't give it away with his tacit approval, then besides being damaged, they can't truly possess it and it won't unleash its full power.

This is still at the Earthly Rank without spirituality. Once you reach the Emperor Rank and possess spirituality, without Lu Feifan's tacit approval, its use will be even weaker.

Therefore, the existence that manifests in the Southeast Region is a tragedy.

Perhaps at first, he also wanted to weaken his own existence, just like he had encountered in the past crises, and then gradually assimilate into them.

But now, it's clear that this is like inviting a wolf into the house, and instead, we've been assimilated.

The ominous influence we are now tainted by is the power of the boundary marker.

If they had resisted at the beginning, there would have been a chance, and at the very least, they could have caused the collapse of the Southeast Region.

However, the ancient beings were too confident, and the result was tragic.

With the blessing of the immortal veins, the boundary marker, as time went on and it became deeply integrated into the Southeast Region, completely eliminated his chance to resist.

Especially after Lu Feifan discovered this problem, he took the initiative to strengthen the power of the town's boundary marker and integrate it, which made the assimilation even faster.

Thus, everything in this ancient existence will be transformed into the boundary marker and the stepping stone for the ascension of the immortal vein.

It was at this moment that Lu Feifan discovered a problem.

It turns out that the treasures he gained from reading, if used correctly, can all help him grow.

That's a hidden Easter egg.

Lu Feifan rarely used these treasures, which is why he never discovered this problem.

Of course, for him, this was just icing on the cake.

He should use his time to read; there's no need to waste time looking for things to upgrade his treasures.

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

In other words, things like town boundary markers are a welcome surprise, and it's good to have some unexpected delights now and then.

As the power assimilated, Lu Feifan also discovered why his control over the Southeast Region was no weaker than before, even in the Land of the Dead.

That is, the original Southeast Region was backed by the World of the Dead.

The being who orchestrated all of this seems to have emerged from the world of the dead.

The most unique feature of the Southeast Region is not only its connection to the world of the dead, but also its connection to the Nine Realms.

However, this power connecting the nine realms comes from the ancient being itself.

Although he assimilated the original, he lost that power.

In other words, the Southeast Region has now lost its connection to the Nine Realms.

This should be the last struggle that the ancient beings could make.

This made Lu Feifan feel somewhat regretful.

And this person is doing all this, I don't know if it's out of desperation or if there's some other plan behind it.

After all, he was the one who arranged all of this, and no one can say for sure how much preparation he made for the arrival of the present era.

"Pity!"

After realizing everything, Lu Feifan felt regret.

If the passage were still there, he could freely travel between the Nine Heavens and the Ten Earths.

It's unclear how this ancient being managed to create a boundary around itself and connect to the Nine Realms and the World of the Dead.

"Could he be trying to become the tenth realm, beyond the nine realms?!"

Lu Feifan suddenly thought of a possibility.

The other party's transformation might not be what he intended, merely transforming into a small world, but rather an ambition to transform into a vast world like the Qiankun Realm.

That's probably why the problem arose.

Of course, Lu Feifan was only speculating about these things.

No one can say for sure what the specifics will be.

However, this also gave Lu Feifan an idea.

If you want to return to the Qiankun Realm and the Xuanxing Realm, you can try to find a way if your strength hasn't improved.

Unexpectedly, they figured out the whole situation in the southeast region.

But for Lu Feifan, upon closer reflection, it didn't seem to make much sense.

After all, even if it weren't discovered today, given the previous situation, once the site was controlled and digested in the Southeast Region, the problem would naturally be discovered, and it wouldn't take much time.

The moment that ancient being actively drew in the power of the town's boundary marker, with the intention of assimilation, everything was already destined.

Lu Feifan assessed the situation.

In summary, there was only one unexpected surprise.

That is, given the current situation, once everything ends, the town boundary marker might be able to be upgraded to the origin level.

If it's a celestial vein, then it can begin to grow.

"Although the Southeast Region connects to the Nine Realms plus the World of the Dead."

"It seems like the Nine Realms and the World of the Dead coexist, but in reality, it mainly connects the World of the Dead and the Qiankun Realm!"

Lu Feifan continued his investigation into the traces left by the ancient powerhouse and drew a conclusion.

He even had a feeling that this being, besides transforming itself into the Dao, might also have the heart to control the world of the dead and the Qiankun Realm through this bridge.
