The Jade Conch Galaxy, though remote and rarely visited by strong individuals, does not imply absolute absence.
In the past, when Nine Provinces was merely a low-level domain, the Heaven's Augury Compass concealed its presence, so even if a strong individual passed by, they wouldn't notice Nine Provinces without close observation.
With Nine Provinces' promotion to a large domain, the compass's concealment has failed, making its discovery by strong individuals inevitable. Over the years, Lu Ye has been urgently advancing his own cultivation because Nine Provinces' overall strength is too weak, and without powerful forces, it would be impossible to withstand a true disaster.
Lu Ye was mentally prepared for Nine Provinces to be discovered by some strong individuals, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
