This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 822 - 654: Emerging from Seclusion

Half a year slipped by swiftly, and since the outbreak of war between the Mystical Mechanism and the Abyss, there hasn't been a period as peaceful and harmonious as this.
Both the Mystical Mechanism Continent and the Abyss Continent were unusually quiet. Although skirmishes still occurred on the front lines, they were confined to small-scale battles between players and Abyss Cultivators, with no appearance of high-level combat power.
The players also sensed the change in the atmosphere. Though they were not privy to the truth, perceptive tacticians among them sniffed out the brewing storm.
Thus, many predicted on forums that both sides were likely in a phase of gathering strength. Although the current peace seemed stable, when the real war erupted, it would probably mean the decisive moment had arrived.
Over the span of half a year, a massive number of high-level players withdrew from the front lines and began focusing on tasks issued by Boss Liang.
Under the meticulous carpet searching by countless players, those previously concealed Abyss Gates were brought to light one by one.
Upon discovering an Abyss Gate, the Secret Realm it occupied became a magnet for a large number of players, initiating localized hidden quests. As long as the number of Abyss Cultivators or Abyss Demons killed in the Secret Realm was sufficiently high, players could make a profit even without snatching the reward for destroying the Abyss Gate.
The levels of the Abyss Cultivators and Abyss Demons emerging from the Abyss Gates weren't particularly high, equating to a difficult-level dungeon for players.
After half a year, the internal Abyss Gates on the Mystical Mechanism Continent dwindled, from initially discovering two or three per week to now rarely seeing any.
It's not that guilds didn't intend to monopolize an Abyss Gate for themselves, but even the top guilds couldn't handle an Abyss Gate on their own; they needed the collective power of all players.
And after killing the Abyss Cultivators and destroying the Abyss Gate, the dropped materials and equipment could be handed over to the sect in exchange for cultivation techniques or Daoist Skills of equal value, ensuring players never lost out.
After six months, with players leveling up, the overall strength of the player community rose significantly.
And on this day, the inverted, blooming epiphyllum on Youdao Mountain finally began to close, as several formidable auras surged skyward from the mountain!
The sky and clouds changed, the Great Dao roared, and the resplendent pillar of light drew the attention of every cultivator on the Mystical Mechanism Continent toward Youdao Mountain.
In the back mountain of the Purple Cloud Sect, while leisurely lying on a recliner with a book covering his face, a smile appeared on Liang Yi's lips as he sensed this energy. The next moment, his form disappeared, leaving the book to fall onto the recliner.
Meanwhile, in Abyss Battle City, stationed Chen Hua and Zhou Ruanxian's expressions shifted as they detected the commotion from Youdao Mountain.
"It's Youyi and the others."
Zhou Ruanxian set down the freshly made lotus seed soup, her words tinged with concern.
"Don't worry, they won't let us down."
Chen Hua, clad in white, retracted his gaze and, after tasting the sweet and delightful lotus seed soup, squinted and smiled.
"That kid Liang Yi came to me earlier too. He had me relay the promotion method they used to all the Super Forces. Truly worthy of being my disciple; his mere intent makes everyone admire him."
"Perhaps Liang Yi doesn't even realize how esteemed he is in the Mystical Mechanism Continent now."
Zhou Ruanxian recalled the astonished faces when Chen Hua handed over that promotion method to other forces and couldn't help but smile.
She too had seen that promotion method and admired Liang Yi's genius for forging a new path of advancement under conventional thinking.
Although not everyone could use this method and not everyone had the fortune to be guided personally by Liang Yi, the method could still enable disciples with sufficient cultivation talent from Super Forces to rapidly enhance their skills and unlock their potential.
"He just didn't want us to owe any favors, yet it turned all to owe him one."
Chen Hua shook his head, recalling the scene months ago when Liang Yi suddenly arrived.
Liang Yi first detailed the truth about the Cliff Sword Intent and then handed over a jade tube where he compiled a detailed promotion method painstakingly crafted over a month.
It was then that Chen Hua understood Liang Yi's intention was to ensure their Taoist Sect owed no favor to the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.
The Blooming Epiphyllum of You Meng Garden was a precious treasure of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, typically used by all its disciples. Loaning it for half a year meant that both the elders and the disciples of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool couldn't use the You Meng Garden Transformation Array for six months.
This sacrifice was significant!
Though other parties offered generous compensation, the temporary pause in practice for countless disciples of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool remained indisputable.
Thus, Liang Yi directly handed over this promotion method to enhance the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool disciples by other means.
Since the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool had given, others couldn't ignore it, so Liang Yi simply made it public, as he never intended to monopolize the method.
After receiving this jade tube, even some discontented elders from the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool had no complaints left.
"Therefore, as long as Liang Yi decides to do something, you can be sure he's confident about it. All we need to do is trust him."
