Chen Heng had been suppressing the Flowing Cloud Sect using strength, and to be able to maintain its current state, it was already quite good.

Wanting everyone to be in alignment with him was not very realistic.

Chen Heng had never had hopes for this; to him, maintaining the status quo would be enough.

To him, the Flowing Cloud Sect was quite a good spoils of war.

The reason why he had not just plundered everything from the Flowing Cloud Sect was to preserve its strength so that he could use it for himself.

As for the three years, rather than Chen Heng becoming used to the Flowing Cloud Sect, it was more so for the Flowing Cloud Sect's disciples to get used to him.

After these disciples became used to Chen Heng's presence, it would be even easier to devour the Flowing Cloud Sect.

When that time came, Chen Heng would truly become the owner of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Of course, to him, this was not a big deal—his goals were far bigger than this, and the Flowing Cloud Sect was just the beginning.

In the following period of time, the surroundings became quite calm.

Time gradually passed peacefully.

Soon, ten years had passed.

During those 10 years, the Yue Kingdom went through great changes.

Three years after Chen Heng had become the Enforcement Elder, the Sect Master officially stepped down and passed the Sect Master position to Chen Heng, causing him to become the ruler of the Yue Kingdom's number one sect.

Following this, the entire Flowing Cloud Sect went through many changes.

Within the Flowing Cloud Sect, many disciples distinguished themselves, revealing their prowess.

Within the Yue Kingdom, the remaining factions began to become more and more suffocated.

As time went on, the Flowing Cloud Sect began to attack other factions.

At first, it was just some small factions, but as time went on, the Flowing Cloud Sect began to point its blade towards the two other major sects.

In response, the two other major sects quickly counterattacked.

Various factions began to fight all-out, resulting in massive waves.

In the end, as Chen Heng acted, he suppressed the Yue Kingdom's factions one by one, and soon, the Yue Kingdom was unified.

Apart from the Flowing Cloud Sect, there were no longer any other factions in the Yue Kingdom.

Moreover, the Flowing Cloud Sect's growth did not seem like it had reached its limit yet.

Time continued to pass.

Everyone was surprised to find that after unifying the Yue Kingdom, Chen Heng did not lead his forces to attack other forces. Instead, he silently stayed within the Yue Kingdom and did not do anything else.

For a whole 30 years, Chen Heng silently remained within the Yue Kingdom. Apart from sending out disciples to train themselves, there was nothing else.

This allowed many people to let out sighs of relief and relax.

Of course, even if he did not do much, the disciples who had gone out were enough to bolster Chen Heng's reputation.

By now, the Flowing Cloud Sect's fame had spread to many other kingdoms.

Finally, after 30 years.

Fog billowed as spirit qi covered the surroundings, making the surroundings look quite hazy.

The spirit qi here was massive, and it was bound here by the magic formations, looking like a man-made holy land of cultivation.

Even if mortals who did not cultivate came here, their lifespans would be extended and their bodies would go through changes.

In the surroundings, there were many spirit grasses and plants, looking quite captivating.

A figure slowly walked over.

"Has it begun?" Chen Heng walked out of the spirit garden as he looked at the surroundings.

"Yes."

In front of him, Zhang Ya nodded, "Based on the information from our people, the Demon Sect has attacked the Chen Kingdom recently. The Daybreak Sect has sent people to interfere, and we don't know how things are going. However, from how the situation seems, they are most likely going to fight."

"That's most likely the case," Chen Heng gave a slight smile as he said softly.

"The Daybreak Sect and Demon Sect have both sent ambassadors, hoping that you will lead the Yue Kingdom's forces to aid them."

"Aid?" Chen Heng chuckled, "Interesting. I wonder just how they want us to aid them."

Standing there, he looked into the distance, and the scenes in the distance appeared in his eyes.

Fate appeared before his eyes incredibly clearly.

Traces of a black aura fell from the sky, landing on the surroundings, including him.

A feeling of inauspiciousness and decay came from that black aura.

"Tribulation aura…" Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself.

When there was going to be great changes in the world, and the pressure of the heavens and earth reached a certain point, tribulation aura would spread.

This tribulation aura was a sign of decay, and it was tied to one's fate. If one was heavily affected by tribulation aura, even if they were a good person, they would end up having countless enemies and would be forced to run for their lives.

Tribulation aura was also the precursor to a great tribulation.

Of course, this tribulation aura was not something that exploded out suddenly, and it instead stacked up bit by bit.

Ten years ago, Chen Heng had discovered the appearance of tribulation aura, which continuously descended and affected the world.

This caused Chen Heng to change his original plans and choose to hide in the Yue Kingdom.

Now, after ten years, the tribulation aura in the world had become even denser.

Standing there and looking at Zhang Ya, Chen Heng thought to himself and prepared to agree to help the Daybreak Sect.

However, in the next moment, traces of tribulation aura immediately began to descend towards Chen Heng's body.
