Outside the vast distorted space, seven cultivators, each with a cultivation base no lower than the seventh level of Tribulation Transcendence, were each positioned outside a section of distorted space.
After the initial period of conflict and competition.
Finally, these seven Tribulation Transcendence cultivators who had completely divided the fragmented Dao Fall debris finally unified their thinking.
Each occupied a certain area outside the distorted space.
After all, their cultivation and combat power were similarly strong. Even if they wanted to obtain more Dao Fall fragments, the time spent fighting and competing would be wasted. Moreover, if the time dragged on, it would benefit the other five, making it too much of a loss.
And this distorted space seemed to be continuously spewing Dao Fall fragments from all directions due to its shrinking.
Under such circumstances, by competing and dividing territories, these seven Tribulation Transcendence cultivators could be considered to have divided them somewhat evenly.
However, even so, these seven people still had no intention of letting the lower-level Tribulation Transcendence cultivators in the vicinity have even a sliver of benefit.
Only Li Qi was an exception.
At the same time, because the fighting among these seven had stopped, and each was only searching for Dao Fall fragments at the edge of their occupied distorted space.
These seven people seemed to have some leisure time.
While searching for Dao Fall fragments, their gazes, as if by an unconscious common agreement, were drawn to the eighth occupied area outside their seven.
In that area, Li Qi, completely covered in black robes, his face and figure concealed by obscuring techniques, was engrossed in searching for Dao Fall fragments, paying no heed to these seven Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.
However, Li Qi's cultivation, which appeared to be only at the first level of Tribulation Transcendence, seemed so out of place amidst these cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of Tribulation Transcendence.
Just then, one of the cultivators, at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcendence, exuding a not-weak aura, with a stern face and slightly sinister eyes, looked in the direction of Li Qi. With a surge of divine sense, these seven Tribulation Transcendence cultivators established a special communication bridge among themselves.
"Does anyone among you know the background of that guy?"
During this period without fighting, where each occupied their own space to collect Dao Fall fragments, many people found themselves with spare time.
And with spare time, their thoughts invariably turned to Li Qi.
After all, the scene of Li Qi severely injuring Zhou Jin with just two punches had made them all extremely wary.
Thus, this group of cultivators, whose strength could be considered at the pinnacle of dozens of void black markets in the vicinity, began to speculate about Li Qi's identity.
They wanted to figure out who exactly Li Qi was.
Unfortunately, these few people had spent a considerable amount of time thinking of all the powerful cultivators in the surrounding void black markets whose names they could vaguely recall. But strangely, there was no one they could think of that matched Li Qi.
Another old man with white hair, wearing black robes stitched with a ferocious beast, and a faint scar on his left cheek, also shook his head slightly.
"I don't know either. Although many old monsters haven't come this time, none of the old monsters I know match.
In reality, it wasn't just that. This old man in black and white hair had not only thought of all the old monsters he knew.
He had even considered one by one all the old monsters he knew who were dead or had disappeared.
But unfortunately, none of them matched.
This was strange.
Suddenly, as if someone had thought of something, the stern-faced, slightly sinister-eyed cultivator's gaze suddenly shifted to two directions.
There were Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng, who had been in the same area as Li Qi at the time.
Although Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng's slight move to distance themselves from Li Qi earlier had seemed subtle, appearing to be casual.
But the cultivators present had all lived for an unknown amount of time. Even if they hadn't noticed at first, upon careful reflection now, most of them had realized.
"Fang Ying, Wang Yangfeng, although it was a coincidence, and Zhou Jin was somewhat used by you, wasn't he? That mysterious fellow was previously in the same area as you harvesting Dao Fall fragments. Looking at your actions, do you know something?"
In response, Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng's expressions remained unchanged, and they raised their hands.
In front of them, a large batch of meteor fragments that had just drifted out of the distorted space instantly exploded into dust. One by one, Dao Fall fragments shot out and were directly taken into their palms.
Wang Yangfeng's voice slowly sounded.
"Such a peculiar person, and you all don't know his background. How could we possibly know? To be honest, the reason we didn't attack that fellow just now was simply because we had witnessed his power before the distorted space underwent its anomaly and shrunk."
"Zhou Jin was simply bored and happened to be the first to step forward. If you say we used him, we won't admit it."
Upon hearing this, the stern, sinister man who had questioned them earlier fell silent.
But at this moment, Fang Ying's voice also sounded, drawing the attention of the other cultivators.
"However, I do have some information. Although we don't know his background, I have heard about a subordinate of his, also at the Tribulation Transcendence stage."
"Who?"
"You've all heard of the Yin Zong Domain, which was only integrated decades ago, haven't you? The subordinate I'm talking about is the strongest in that Yin Zong Domain, a young fellow who broke through to Tribulation Transcendence in the last few hundred years. Look, over there."
Saying this, Fang Ying pointed with his chin, signaling them to look towards the group of low-level Tribulation Transcendence cultivators who were still unwilling to leave.
As expected, in the next moment, their gazes all turned towards Yin Chuan's direction, and they saw Yin Chuan's unremarkable figure.
Then, suddenly, someone seemed to recall something.
"That's right, I remember now. The small world under the strongest cultivator of the Yin Zong District also broke through to Tribulation Transcendence a few days ago, didn't it? I heard before that some people wanted to seize that fellow's Heavenly Dao of Tribulation Transcendence, but all those who went were killed by a mysterious person. Could it be that the one who helped Yin Chuan kill the foreign enemies was..."
At this point, the person's voice stopped.
But everyone understood. That time when someone helped Yin Chuan kill those who tried to seize the Heavenly Dao of Tribulation Transcendence was most likely the mysterious fellow in front of them, who was "dividing the world" with them.
