In Ping Du Sect, the Hidden Appearance Pagoda suddenly shone brightly. Precious pearls hung down from the top of the pagoda, and thousands of strands of clear air flowed like dust being washed away. Everyone standing below felt refreshed, and even their own auras became livelier. Witch God Era
Suddenly, the pagoda door opened, and a ray of light shot out. Ping Du Sect Master Qi Hongchan walked out of the pagoda. However, compared to before he entered seclusion, he was like a portrait imprinted in this world. Although he was no different from an ordinary person, he seemed to be in a different world.
Perfected Master Wu and Perfected Master Zhao only took a glance and were forced to keep their eyes open by the spiritual light above his head. They quickly lowered their heads and walked forward, bowing. "Congratulations, Perfected Master, for coming out of seclusion."
Qi Hongchan raised his hands and smiled. "Perfected Masters, please rise. When I was in seclusion, I had to thank you for guarding the sect. Thank you for your hard work."
Perfected Master Zhao said, "This is what we should do. We don't dare to call it hard work."
Perfected Master Wu straightened up and said, "Perfected Master, are you …"
Qi Hongchan nodded and said in high spirits, "With this opportunity, I have broken through the sixth barrier and formed an origin fetus."
Although they had already guessed the result, the two Perfected Masters were excited to hear it from him.
There were sixteen major sects in Donghua Continent, and almost all of them had people from grotto-heavens guarding them. However, most of them were hovering before the second barrier. There were very few people who could form an origin fetus, and most of them only existed in the major sects.
If the sect had a third stage cultivator, their reputation would immediately change. From then on, as long as Qi Hongchan was in the sect, no one would dare to look down on Ping Du Sect as a small sect.
Just look at the Yuan Yang Sect. It was because of a talented person like Qu Ruyi that they were able to support the sect. Sometimes, they didn't even have to give face to the three major sects.
Qi Hongchan saw their expressions and shook his head. "Perfected Masters, things are not the same as before. If I had reached this realm a few hundred years ago, I could have pushed our sect even higher. However, the great calamity is before us. There is no such chance. "
Zhao and Wu calmed down, they cupped their fists and said, "We have forgotten ourselves."
Qi Hongchan asked, "Did Qincang School send any letters while I was in seclusion?"
The two of them moved to the side, allowing a disciple to come forward. He held a jade box in his hand. When he got closer, he bowed and held it up. He said respectfully, "Headmaster, there was a letter from Qincang School and a letter of thanks from Huanzhen Temple. It was stated that it was for Headmaster Zhenren."
Qi Hongchan took out the letters from the jade box. He first brought the letter from Huanzhen Temple to his eyes and opened it. He saw that it was from Pu Xuansheng from Huanzhen Temple. The content of the letter was to thank him for helping Immortal Pang capture the Heavenly Demon last time. He also said that if he had the time, he would like to personally pay a visit to thank him.
This was not an important matter, so he put it aside for now. He then took the letter from the Qincang School and read it. This time, his expression froze. He waved his hand at the disciple and said, "All of you can leave first. I have something to discuss with the two Zhenrens. "
The disciple bowed deeply and walked back down. He called out to all the disciples and servants standing at the side, and after bowing, he turned around and left. After they bowed, they all left. In a short while, they were all gone.
The three of them rode on the breeze and rose to the white jade platform.
Immortal Wu asked cautiously, "Headmaster Zhenren, is there something important in the letter?"
Qi Hongchan said, "Because I have an appointment with Headmaster Qin, I can't tell you the details yet. You only need to know that Pingdu Cult is ready to act at any time. "
Zhao and Wu were shocked. They knew that this day would come, but they didn't think it would come so quickly. They looked at each other and bowed at the same time. They said, "We will wait for Headmaster Zhenren's instructions."
Qi Hongchan said, "When I was in seclusion, I had already roughly refined the Hidden Aspect Pagoda. This pagoda is an ancient wonder. Because my cultivation has not reached perfection, I can't fully understand its changes. However, I can only use it now. Pingdu Cult will at least have a way out in the great calamity, so the two of you don't need to worry too much."
At this point, he turned to look at the scenery of the mountain gate below. "It's a pity that when this calamity comes, this important mountain gate of Pingdu Cult will most likely be difficult to protect."
The two elders were extremely shocked when they heard this, but they followed the rules and didn't ask any more questions.
Qi Hongchan said, "I will travel outside in the next few days and go to the Qincang School. Everything in the sect will be as usual. Don't let anyone see anything unusual."
Zhao Zhenren said in a low voice, "We will obey Headmaster's orders."
After Qi Hongchan gave his instructions, he was about to return to the pagoda to cultivate. However, Just Now, he was about to take a step when his figure paused. His eyes shone as he looked toward the north.
Zhenren Wu followed his gaze but didn't see anything. He couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Headmaster."
Qi Hongchan thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I think fellow Daoists from the Qincang School can handle it."
After saying this, he turned around and leaped toward the spiritual eye in the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Zhenren and Zhenren Wu bowed to send him off. They only stood up after his figure disappeared.
Zhao Zhenren sighed. "I originally thought that after the precious pearl returned, there would be one more seat on the pagoda. If there were a few hundred years, we could try to promote a disciple to go up against the calamity. But from what Headmaster said, we won't be able to make it in time."
Zhenren Wu, on the other hand, was full of confidence. He said, "If we feel that it's too hasty, then the other sects' preparations must be even more inadequate. Instead, we have the advantage."
Just as Zhao Zhenren was about to speak again, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head abruptly and saw a spiritual cloud soaring into the sky from the north. He and Zhenren Wu looked at each other and both of them leaped into the sky at the same time. They gathered their energy and looked over. They saw that it was a beam of light that penetrated straight into the high clouds.
Zhenren Wu said, "Looking at that direction, it's from the Northern Darkstar Continent. It's just strange that this light is scattered but not condensed, and the spiritual opportunity is not abundant. Someone must have deliberately fiddled with it, but I don't know why they did it. They didn't use up their own mana."
Zhao Zhenren said, "Maybe it's that Northern Darkstar Demon cultivator playing some tricks. Headmaster Just Now is aware of it. He said fellow Daoists from the Qincang School can handle it, so it shouldn't be a big deal."
Zhenren Wu nodded and said, "Then we don't have to worry about it. We don't know when the calamity will descend. The time is pressing, so we should go back and prepare early."
After the two of them finished speaking, they flew off in different streaks of light, returning to their respective caves.
The commotion was so big that the Zhenrens from the Qincang School immediately sensed it. They all stopped cultivating and looked in the direction of the Northern Darkstar Continent with inquiring eyes.
Zhang Yan was in the Upper Extreme Hall at the moment. He had already sensed it before the light appeared. His gaze was focused on the beam of light, and his eyes were cold.
Qi Yuntian said, "The area occupied by the Lord Yuanjun's Forbidden Matrix has only expanded by half in this short period of time. There's still the figure of the matrix spirit in the light, and it's even more secure than before. If the Demon Court had such a trick before, they would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. There should be people from the Yuxiao school behind this."
Zhang Yan said, "Once the power of the Palace Guarding Matrix has increased, we won't act rashly before we have absolute confidence. We can only allow these demon cultivators to continue to exist in the Northern Darkstar Continent. This must be their goal."
Qi Yuntian said in a low voice, "This can be done in secret, but they purposely made such a big fuss. This is obviously a show for us, the Qincang School. The meaning behind this is to say that the Demon Court has the support of the Demon Court, so they don't fear our attack."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is also expected. When the Forbidden Matrix was erected in the South Sea, the Yuxiao school had to be on full alert in order to protect their backyard. Now that there's no one to disturb them, they will naturally extend their hands elsewhere. I have already suppressed half of the Northern Darkstar Continent, and I think I have offended them. They are extremely afraid that we will wipe out the hidden danger of the Northern Darkstar Continent, so they are using some means to salvage the situation."
He thought for a moment and said, "But we, the Qincang School, have not been doing much recently, and even did not insist on setting up the matrix in the South Sea. The Yuxiao school must have grown suspicious, and may want to take this opportunity to see our reaction."
Qi Yuntian changed his mind and said decisively, "No matter what reaction we make, it may arouse their suspicion. The more we hide, the easier it is to be exposed. We don't need to care about them, we just need to do our own thing. The hundreds of years of planning of the Qincang School is just like the surging waves of a mighty river, but it is not something these little tricks can stop."
Zhang Yan nodded. But no matter how the situation changed, the Demon Court of the Northern Darkstar Continent was the main target of the Qincang School, or they might be attacked from two sides. His arrangement in the South Sea was also for this purpose. But similarly, if Yuxiao wanted to make a move, the first place they would clean up would be their own backyard.
He thought for a moment and said, "We will not fight with him in the open, but we can use force in the dark. Compared to the Forbidden Matrix of the Palace of Yuan Jun, the matrix board that Fellow Daoist Li left in the South Sea is far from comparable. If we really fight, if Yuxiao uses all his strength, it will not be difficult to break through it in a short period of time. If we have not broken into Yuan Jun's Palace by then, we will be at a disadvantage, so we need to think of other ways."
Qi Yuntian said, "Junior Brother Zhang has been setting up in the South Sea for a long time, I think you already have an idea."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Originally I did have an arrangement, and I have reported it to the Head Immortal. But now that the situation has changed, I naturally can't stick to the old rules. My idea is that since we can't attack Yuan Jun's Palace before the disaster, we might as well send Senior Brother Huo's Thirty-six Mountains to the South Sea. It should be enough to hold back Yuxiao for a while."
Qi Yuntian thought for a moment, nodded and praised, "This is a good plan."
Originally, Huo Xuan had made the Thirty-six Mountains to take care of the Demon Court before the disaster. Now, due to various reasons, it seemed that this matter could not be completed smoothly, so he might as well send this treasure to the South Sea to suppress the matrix board. Even if it was not as good as Yuan Jun's Palace, it would not be too far off.
