Chapter 1848 The New Order of the Nine Provinces, the Passionate Minotaur
When the Sky-Piercing Shuttle returned to the Nine Provinces Continent, it was already more than half a year later.
At this moment, there are only a little over a hundred years left until the thousand-year period promised by Mo Fan.
When Mo Fan saw that towering trees had grown on the original site of Black Wind Mountain, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Even he himself did not expect that this trip to another world would last for more than two hundred years. However, although the time spent there was long, the gains were still enormous.
He had taken all the demons from both worlds into the Xuanhuang Gourd, and now they had all been refined, turning into a vast and pure primordial liquid.
Although these Yuan liquids are not of much use to Mo Fan now, they can help the Myriad Demon Emperor Dynasty cultivate some Saint Emperor Realm cultivators again, which can be considered as strengthening the foundation of the Myriad Demon Emperor Dynasty.
Of course, the biggest gain for Mo Fan from this trip was successfully comprehending the power of the Law of Time, and the changes in his sea of consciousness were also gratifying.
With the strengthening of his sea of consciousness and divine soul, he could completely rival a low-level Great Sage in terms of mental power. In addition, with the Law of Time and the Devouring Bone as his trump cards, Mo Fan was confident that he could go toe-to-toe with some Great Sages.
At this moment, his cultivation level was so high that he could be considered a giant even in the upper realm, let alone in the lower realm.
This pleased Mo Fan greatly.
"There are still over a hundred years before I truly leave Kyushu. If I can further improve my cultivation before I leave, that would be even better!"
Mo Fan murmured to himself, a determined look in his eyes.
However, to comprehend another law within a mere hundred years is a considerable challenge even for him.
Upon returning to the Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Realm, Mo Fan did not relocate Black Wind Mountain this time.
Because he discovered that more than two hundred years had passed, and the entire Kyushu continent had a new order.
Perhaps because Black Wind Mountain has been gone for so long, Phoenix Cry Mountain has now become a new holy land for all living beings in the Nine Provinces.
Although cultivators throughout the Nine Provinces still revere the laws of the Myriad Demon Dynasty, the lack of direct jurisdiction from several major departments has made the Myriad Demon Dynasty almost a spiritual belief.
The organization that truly governs all living beings across the entire Kyushu continent is a power structure called the Kyushu Alliance.
The so-called Nine Provinces Alliance was established by some powerful figures who remained in the Nine Provinces Continent during the former Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dynasty.
Those who control the Nine Provinces Alliance are the strongest among the major races of the Nine Provinces Continent.
The four races are the Demon Race, the Human Race, the Witch Race, and the Sea Demon Race. In order to better manage the Nine Provinces Alliance, each race has also selected a leader.
Although they jointly established the Nine Provinces Alliance and formulated a series of new orders, all of these new orders were based on the Law of Ten Thousand Demons and did not change the basic order of the Law of Ten Thousand Demons.
What surprised Mo Fan even more was that although the Nine Provinces Alliance had actually taken control of all aspects of affairs on the Nine Provinces Continent, it had not completely replaced the Myriad Demons Dynasty. Instead, it claimed that the Nine Provinces Alliance belonged to the Myriad Demons Dynasty, but that the Heavenly Demon Emperor had led the high-ranking officials of the Myriad Demons Dynasty to another world, so it was temporarily managing the affairs of the Nine Provinces.
"I see. So the Nine Provinces Alliance is the true ruler of our Nine Provinces Continent now?" Mo Fan asked with a smile, looking at a minotaur in front of him.
He learned about the Nine Provinces Alliance from this minotaur.
"That's for sure. Although the Nine Provinces Alliance doesn't acknowledge replacing the Myriad Demon Dynasty, everyone knows very well that the Nine Provinces now belong to the Nine Provinces Alliance."
As for the Myriad Demon Dynasty, although it once enjoyed great glory, it ultimately left the Nine Provinces. No one knows when the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the others will return; they might have already ascended to the Upper Realm!
As the bull-headed demon got carried away, he told Mo Fan some of the so-called "secrets" within the Nine Provinces Alliance, such as which powerful female demon had a hundred male lovers, and which human powerhouse's wife was having an affair with a certain great demon without her knowledge...
Mo Fan listened with great interest.
Although he knew very well that most of these so-called secrets were rumors and fabrications, it did not affect his enjoyment of the gossip.
After chatting for half a day, the minotaur suddenly looked at Mo Fan with a wary expression, "Brother, have you really been in seclusion for the past two hundred years, completely unaware of any information from the outside world?"
“That’s right, that’s why I came here specifically to ask you, Brother Niu.” Mo Fan nodded, looking quite emotional. “I never imagined that the outside world would change so much while I was in seclusion. Even the Myriad Demon Dynasty has been replaced by other forces. It’s truly unbelievable!”
"Hey!"
"Brother, you've just come out of seclusion, so I'm afraid you don't have a good place to go. Luckily, I have connections in the Nine Provinces Alliance. Would you like me to introduce you to a job there?"
The bull-headed demon rolled its eyes and gave Mo Fan a simple, honest smile.
"Brother Niu, you have this kind of connection?"
Mo Fan was taken aback at first, then waved his hand and said, "I appreciate Brother Niu's kindness, but it's much better for us cultivators to be free and unrestrained. Why should we be bound by others? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"
"Hey! Bro, your thinking is way too negative!"
Upon hearing this, the bull-headed demon chuckled. Seeing Mo Fan's puzzled expression, he spoke again: "Brother, you don't know this. Being a rogue cultivator may be carefree and unrestrained, but without anyone above you, you are extremely vulnerable to being targeted."
Moreover, most independent cultivators are poor and hardworking. Just collecting cultivation resources from all directions is exhausting enough. How often do they have time to cultivate properly?
If someone possesses a valuable treasure, being intercepted and killed by other cultivators would be a pointless death.
But if you join the Nine Provinces Alliance, it will be different. Although you will be bound by the rules of the Nine Provinces Alliance, the Nine Provinces Alliance will also become your support.
With the current strength of the Nine Provinces Alliance, you will be superior to others wherever you go, and few cultivators will dare to offend you.
Of course, more importantly, the Nine Provinces Alliance offers excellent benefits, providing regular stipends that are more than enough for your cultivation needs!
"That's because Brother Niu feels a connection with you, brother, that's why he's willing to recommend you for a job. Otherwise, Brother Niu wouldn't even agree to let someone else pay him!"
"What you say makes sense. Well then, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Niu?"
Mo Fan's eyes darted around, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, brother. I've always been a kind-hearted person and I love helping others, especially rogue cultivators like you. I'm happy to help you, after all, I used to be a rogue cultivator myself."
Seeing that Mo Fan had agreed, the bull-headed demon was overjoyed. He immediately took charge, stood up, and said to Mo Fan, "Brother, come with me!"
"So urgent?"
"Hey! Brother, don't you even realize that's the Nine Provinces Alliance!"
"Even the menial job in the Nine Provinces Alliance is a lucrative one, with plenty of cultivators eyeing it every day! We must strike while the iron is hot!!"
"Brother Niu, it's better to do it sooner rather than later!"
"Hey! You're really cultured, bro. But they're all pretty much the same, as long as you get the gist of it."
"Speaking of which, judging from your aura, you should be at the early King Realm, right? It's quite an achievement that you've cultivated to this level all by yourself..."
As the bull-headed demon led the way, he chatted idly with Mo Fan.
What seemed like casual conversation was actually a ploy to probe Mo Fan's background, which made Mo Fan sneer inwardly, and at the same time, he gradually understood what this guy wanted to do.
When they reached a mountain hollow that was easy to ambush, the bull-headed demon suddenly slowed down, deliberately falling about ten feet behind Mo Fan, and then suddenly swung the long-handled black axe in its hand directly at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan, as if possessed, took a small step to the side, successfully avoiding the attack. He then turned around and asked, feigning ignorance, "Brother Niu, weren't you going to take me to the Nine Provinces Alliance to find a job? I remember you said the Nine Provinces Alliance was in Phoenix Cry Mountain, but we're getting further and further away from here!"
