After the meeting, the Heaven's Abodes of the various sects returned to their respective Immortal's Caves. Every day, they would refine their magical treasures and gather medicinal pills in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Just Now, the Nine Continents' Mortal Tribulation had just ended, and they had gained a lot from it. Many of their techniques needed to be tested, and this battle was undoubtedly an opportunity.
In a dark Immortal's Cave, Great Sage Yeyang was curled up in a ball, his eyes closed, as if he were in a deep sleep. However, his feathers trembled from time to time, and it was clear that he was not calm.
Xue Dingyuan sat on a high platform, and behind him was an illusory Sea Serpent Qi, which was constantly changing.
At this moment, he was using the Origin Mirage Sect's secret magic to drag the demon into an illusory world. All of the demon's experiences, from when it was young to when it grew up, would be displayed by his divine ability.
This method was much more convenient than using divine sense to search, and even the faded memories of the target would be dug up.
He was not very interested in the demon itself. This time, he had been instructed by Zhang Yan to observe the demon's experiences in the Mie Ming Bird Tribe before it came to the Eastern Wasteland, so that he could find the tribe's weaknesses and what they needed to be wary of.
After a few days, he withdrew from the divine ability and pointed out with his finger, which transformed into a magical talisman. Then, he waved his sleeve, and the copper bell hanging high above him began to buzz.
After a while, a young boy walked in and said, "What are your orders, Reverend?"
Xue Dingyuan handed the talisman to him and said, "You can give this to Reverend Zhang."
The young boy took it, bowed, and carefully retreated.
Xue Dingyuan stood up and said, "The Mountain and Sea Realm is indeed vast. Even in the Northern Heaven Frigid Abyss, the Green Nightmare Demon King Tribe is not the only power there. However, if I can capture some of them, it will be convenient for me to improve my cultivation base."
He glanced at Great Sage Yeyang, then flicked his sleeve and left.
In the southeast of the Heaven Mending Formation was a huge medicinal herb garden, where alchemists from all sects of the Nine Continents were gathered.
"Dean Zhou, this is the medicinal herb I've collected from the Mountain and Sea Realm this month. They are all here. "
Zhou Chongju picked up a piece of pitch-black vine, but it suddenly began to wriggle like a little person, continuously wailing there. Gradually, it revealed a ferocious ghost face and let out a series of howls, trying its best to intimidate.
Zhou Chongju was not affected at all. His expression was normal as he said, "Strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The medicinal power is only ordinary. "He reached out his hand and the ghost face immediately disappeared. A puff of smoke floated out.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, saying, "Natural baleful energy, gather a thousand and you can refine a martial pill."
The pills were divided into civil and martial ones. The civil pill protected one's life, while the martial pill could kill. Most of them were Wen Dan, and the Ruyi Dan that was given to Zhang Yan before the Human Tribulation was a Martial Dan.
A disciple beside him hurriedly picked up a brush and wrote down everything he said on the jade board, not daring to miss a single word.
Zhou Chongju tossed the vine aside and picked up a withered yellow beard. Although it looked light, it sank slightly when he held it in his hand. He used two fingers to clamp the Yin and Yang sides. With a single stroke, drops of juice dripped down. When it fell to the ground, it made a clanging sound like copper beans.
He said, "If I come across this grass in the future, I'll be very happy. All of them will be dealt with according to this rule. "
The disciple quickly wrote it down.
Zhou Chongju spent an entire day looking through all the medicinal herbs he had gathered. Naturally, other than a few special plants that he needed to personally examine, most of them were illuminated by the magical treasures of the Pill Cauldron Courtyard. Thus, he was able to get some clues.
He stroked his beard. In a low voice, he said, "Too little. Too little. Is this all you've collected in the past month?"
The disciple bowed his head. "Dean Zhou, it's not that we didn't do our best, but the Mountain and Sea Realm is simply too big. Many of the exotic plants are living creatures, and they run wild. Some of them are even under the protection of the Outsider demons, making them very difficult to harvest."
The Mountain and Sea Realm was different from the Nine Continents. Cultivators occupied all of the famous mountains and lakes, while the demons were mostly trapped in the North Darkstar Continent. Gathering precious materials was not easy.
Zhou Chongju muttered to himself for a moment, then waved his hand. "You may leave. I'll think about it."
The disciple felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly retreated.
Zhou Chongju stroked his beard thoughtfully. Because of this, the Mountain and the Nine Continents were different. Most of the pill formulas were useless, and needed to be tested again.
During the past month, he had sent disciples out to gather medicinal plants. Although they had gained quite a bit, most of the medicinal plants they had collected were ordinary.
That was because most of the precious materials in the Mountain and Sea Realm were found in the lands of the Outsiders and demons. If he wanted to get them, he couldn't avoid them.
However, if he could use them to gather medicinal plants, it would be far more convenient than sending disciples out. Of course, he would have to offer them some sort of reward.
"This is an important matter," he thought. "I need to ask Junior Brother what he thinks."
Having reached this point in his train of thought, he wrote a letter and sent it out.
Zhang Yan was currently sitting cross-legged in his Immortal's cave. Although he had cultivated the Dao of Strength to the sixth revolution, and his battle prowess was no less than that of a mortal molting, the longer he stayed in the Dao of Strength, and the more he fought, the more likely it was that he would be compatible with it. Therefore, he hadn't given up on cultivating the Dao of Energy.
In this place, there were countless spiritual opportunities. After a month of cultivation, he could sense that in another year, he would be able to break through the eighth barrier.
Jing You handed over a letter and said, "Master, Sect Leader Zhou Just Now You sent a letter. I didn't dare to delay, so I delivered it first."
Zhang Yan took the letter and read it. After a moment of thought, he said, "Senior Brother, this matter is indeed important. However, I'll have to put it aside for now. I'll deal with it after I return from conquering the Icy Jade Continent."
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about coming into contact with the Outsiders, but there were tens of thousands of tribes, and they were all mixed up. They weren't like the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Wasteland, which only had a few large nations.
The reason for this situation was that many of the tribes had the shadow of an Ancient Demon behind them. Before figuring out their background, it wasn't a good idea to come into contact with them.
Furthermore, from the information he had received from the Eastern Wasteland, almost all of the Outsider tribes respected strength. Normally speaking with them was useless, and the only way was to intimidate them.
This time, as long as he conquered the Icy Jade Continent, he would be able to intimidate them.
In the guesthouse, Gongxi Zao and Gongzi You were fiddling with their instruments.
Just like Shen Fangguo and Mo Du, the two of them also realized that having a talisman in hand could greatly increase their combat ability. That way, they would undoubtedly have a great advantage in the battle against the Outsiders and demons.
After trying many times, Gongzi You still couldn't get the gist of it. He suppressed the blood in his chest and said irritably, "Although the treasure is good, it's not easy to successfully refine it."
Gongxi Zao said, "I've told you many times that this talisman isn't for us Mystic cultivators to use. Blood Qi can't be used to refine it, and can only be guided by spiritual opportunity."
Gongzi You couldn't help but shake his head. He also knew the logic behind it. However, after hundreds of years of cultivation, he had already refined the blood Qi, spirit, and will into one. Once the spiritual opportunity was triggered, blood Qi would definitely come out. How could it be changed so easily?
He put the instrument in his hand aside and said, "Even if this item is successfully refined, it can't be used to its fullest potential. Only when I know the method of refining and become a treasure for us Mystic cultivators can it be of great use."
However, Gongxi Zao said, "That's the logic, but the cultivators of the nine continents won't hand over the method of refining to us so easily. Then, I'll have to figure it out myself."
Gongzi You took a look and frowned. "Jiyue, can't the country take out something useful to exchange with the cultivators of the nine continents?"
Gongxi Zao said in a deep voice, "Our Eastern Barren Country has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. How can we not take out something of this level? However, we can't put all our hopes on this. We still have to do what needs to be done. "
Gongzi You thought for a while and reached out to pick up the instrument again.
At this moment, the jade curtain moved slightly, and a servant said from outside, "Young Master, that Priest Zhou is here to visit."
Gongzi You didn't dare to delay and said, "Invite him in."
Not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Zhou Xuan walked in and bowed. "Greetings to the two of you."
Gongzi You quickly returned the greeting. Because they had interacted many times these days, they could be considered to be familiar with each other. After exchanging a few polite words, Gongzi You invited Gongzi You to sit down and talk. Then, he ordered the servant to bring over the heart-calming tea that he had exchanged for with a considerable price.
Zhou Xuan thanked him and sat down. He straightened his body and said in a clear voice, "I have come to inform the two of you that the cultivators of the nine continents will be heading north to attack the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture next month. In a few days, we will be leaving these six continents. If it's not convenient, Envoy, you may leave first."
"Attack the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture?"
Gongxi Zao's body trembled and a look of shock appeared on his face. He stood up and asked again, "Sir, you mean to say that you want to attack the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture?"
Zhou Xuan didn't move from his seat. He picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip. Then, in a natural manner, he said, "Honored Envoy did not hear wrongly."
He wasn't afraid that the news would leak out. There were no flying swords or talismans in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they relied on birds to send messages from afar. The Northern Heaven Frigid Abyss was very far away, and the news would not arrive in a short period of time. Even now, it was likely that Green Grasshopper still didn't know that his daughter was imprisoned.
Besides, even if the Demon King knew, it wouldn't be a big deal. With so many people from the Heaven's Abode moving out, it would definitely cause quite a commotion. There was no way to hide it. This was an open war, so there was no need to hide it.
Gongzi You said bitterly, "But, that's Demon King Green Grasshopper …"
Zhou Xuan's expression was calm as he casually said, "So what? The Heaven's Abode has already taken a liking to the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture. It can be the place where the Qincang School will establish our sect. If any demons, devils, or Outsiders are disobedient, I don't care if they are Demon Kings or Great Sages, I'll just kill them all."
Gong Qincang's heart trembled. After he sent Great Sage Yeyang to these people from beyond the heavens, he thought that they would tighten their defenses. Who knew that these cultivators not only didn't do so, but also wanted to take the initiative to attack, and even wanted to invade the place where he lived.
After a while, he finally calmed down from this shocking news and couldn't help but guess the real intention of the other party. Telling them about this, was it to let them leave earlier? Or to attack the Cold Jade Ocean Prefecture together?
If it was the latter, it would be a bit difficult. Great Sage Green Grasshopper's reputation was extremely great, and it was unknown how strong he was.
If they didn't destroy it in one go, the cultivators of the nine continents could just return to beyond the heavens, but the Eastern Barren Country wouldn't be able to escape.
However, when he thought about the ability of the Du Zhen Hall Master, he suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity. So, he took a deep breath, put his hands together, and said, "Fellow Zhou, if you can trust me, I'm willing to do my best to help."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "If you have a decision, there's no need to tell me. I've troubled you today, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he stood up, waved his sleeve, and turned to leave.
