The great ship of the Blood Refinement World, which had been drifting in stellar space for countless millennia, finally stopped. From a vantage point in the stars, it appeared to have halted not far from the Nine Provinces.
However, this "not far" is, in the end, a relative distance. In reality, the distance between the two large domains remains a boundary that the current Nine Provinces cultivators cannot breach, as they lack the ability to traverse stellar space physically. To return to the Nine Provinces, they still need to rely on the teleportation of the Heaven's Augury Pillar.
The matters of the Blood Refinement World have largely settled, and the Nine Provinces cultivators participating in the expedition have embarked on their journey home.
Though many from the various minor and major sects have suffered casualties during this expedition, the surviving cultivators have reaped immense rewards, earning an unimaginable amount of battle merit.
