While Zhang Yan was in secluded meditation, Sect Leader Qin and Qi Yuntian had already arrived in front of Ying Gui.
This giant kun was the mount of the Great Underworld Patriarch, and because it had been sealed in the reflective wall for too long, its strength had yet to recover. It had been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for more than two hundred years, and although it had been constantly replenished with Pure Violet Spiritual Qi, it was still far from fully recovering.
There was a reason that was difficult for outsiders to understand. When the giant kun had first arrived in the Realm of the Nine Continents, it had only been a child.
However, it was not easy for a demon of this level to grow up.
Because the Nine Continents Realm did not have enough Pure Violet Spiritual Qi to support it, it had been in a weak state for a long time. Now that it had been unsealed, it would only be able to replenish its vitality for several hundred years. Although its strength would increase during this time, it would be very slow.
Fortunately, the giant kun had lived for a long time. Regardless of how strong it was in battle, its aura alone was strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with someone like Kong Ying.
This was one of the reasons why Demonic Patriarch Gou Yue had been frightened away by the sight of the giant kun when he arrived in the Frigid Jade Sea Prefecture.
After some thought, Sect Leader Qin realized that it would not be easy to hide from Kong Ying and Yang Chuan. As cultivators of the Qi Dao, they were a hundred times better than Demonic Patriarch Gou Yue in distinguishing between truth and falsehood. The only difference was that unless they actually entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, they would only be able to spy from the Outer Realm.
The Great Kun had never intentionally cultivated, and it only needed to continue growing before it would be able to obtain a formidable strength that could shake the heavens and the earth. Thus, it was usually extremely lazy, but if it could be urged to slightly adjust the scattered vital energy in its body and condense it seriously, then not only would it be sufficient to deceive those that intended to spy on it, even the speed at which it repaired itself would increase because of this.
After all, it had been brought by the Great Underworld Patriarch from the Outer Realm. It had a special meaning to the Qincang School, and its status was also very high. Therefore, after arriving in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Zhu Zhen of the Qincang School had not asked it to do anything. Instead, he had allowed it to do as it pleased. However, now that they were about to face a powerful enemy from the Outer Realm, they could not do so.
Sect Leader Qin began to converse with the giant kun.
Although Big Kun was lazy and reluctant at first, it couldn't go against the order of the Qincang Sect Leader after all, so it could only do as he was told.
After a while, Sect Leader Qin retracted his spirit. At this stage, he did not think that everything was settled. He believed that he still needed some celestial artifacts and external medicine to make preparations to patch up all the flaws and loopholes.
Based on this calculation, it would take about three to four years even if it was the fastest.
If Kong Yin and Yang Chuan were to arrive before this, then all these preparations would be useless.
It wasn't impossible. After all, if the two of them had rushed over to the Mountain and Sea Realm before the announcement was made, then they should have arrived by now.
Sect Master Qin considered this point and decided not to place all his hopes on the Big Kun. He decided to make another arrangement.
He reached into his sleeve and took out the Void Essence Blackhole. He silently circulated his magic power for a moment, then waved his horsetail whisk. In an instant, the treasure disappeared into the void.
With the sect's signature treasure floating in this realm, even if Kong Yin and the others tried to barge in, they could still act as a deterrent. If they were forced into a situation where they couldn't retreat, they could open the third restrictive spell and use the treasure's devouring power to deal with their opponents. However, it was very likely that both sides would perish together. Therefore, he had to make all the necessary arrangements.
He turned to Qi Yuntian and said, "Yuntian, listen carefully. Today, I will teach you how to use the Void Essence Blackhole. If we are not here in the future, you can take it."
If this sect's signature treasure wasn't infused with magic power beforehand, then only Daoist Master Fan Tu could wield it. Originally, Meng Zhen was the best candidate. However, he had gone to the Evil Realm and no one knew how long it would take for him to return. As for Zhang Yan, as Palace Master Du Zhen and the sect's strongest force, if there were invaders, he would be the first to face them. Therefore, the responsibility of cleaning up after the battle could only be placed on Qi Yuntian's shoulders.
Qi Yuntian listened attentively and memorized the technique.
Sect Master Qin reminded him, "When you go back, make some arrangements. If people from the Great Dust Realm break in, make sure that the sect's disciples can retreat in time. However, remember not to make too much of a commotion."
Qi Yuntian said, "Sect Master, do you want to order some disciples to leave first?"
Sect Master Qin shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's not good to panic."
Those who could leave in advance must be the elites of the sect. However, they didn't know when Kong Yin and the others would come. Even now, whether they would come or not was just a guess. Could it be that if Kong Yin and the others didn't come, the disciples wouldn't come? Then how could they cultivate?
Qi Yuntian bowed and said, "Disciple knows what to do."
In the Hall of Crossing Truth, Zhang Yan didn't care about what was happening outside. He only focused on improving his cultivation. A steady stream of First Origin Qi emerged from his body and was then channeled into the Twelve Heavens.
Before truly entering the mortal shedding stage, the qi path dharma body couldn't be separated from the corporeal body. Therefore, the person was considered to be the nascent embryo of the true seed.
His foundation was extremely firm and his magic power was abnormally thick. Most importantly, his corporeal body was at the Sixth Transformation of Strength Path. Almost every moment, he could feel his cultivation rising. At the same time, the purple clear spiritual vigor he consumed reached a huge amount.
If he took out the stone jade lake now, it would probably be sucked clean in a few hours.
However, after two years, he had used up hundreds of years of purple clear spiritual vigor. Therefore, he used five years to go to the outer space to collect spiritual vigor. After returning, he went into seclusion again. After another two years, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling. He couldn't help but look up. His gaze seemed to see outside the void. "They're finally here."
His magic power hadn't reached the level where he could detect the arrival of people from the outer space at any time. However, ever since he was on guard, he was always paying attention. Just Now, there was a trace of disharmony in his feeling. If there was no accident, it should be the people from the Jun Chen Realm.
In the Void Primordial Sea, there were two Daoists standing on a translucent and narrow spiritual boat. They were the sect master of Yuliangism, Kong Yin, and the palace master of Qi Accumulation Palace, Yang Chuan.
Kong Ying was dressed in a pure white cloak. His crown was adorned with jewels and pearls. His jade-like appearance was elegant and handsome, and his bearing was tall and straight. His gaze was gentle and polite. At first glance, he seemed to be a person with rich emotions. However, if one looked closely, there was only dead silence in his eyes. There was no ripple. It was as if the traces of emotions were constantly being worn away and killed.
Yang Chuan, on the other hand, had a head full of white hair. He looked old and withered, but in the blink of an eye, he turned back into a young child. In the next moment, he became a man in his prime, and in the next moment, he became a high-spirited young man. He seemed to be constantly changing from young to old. If it wasn't for the jade ruler in his hand, there seemed to be a few people taking turns.
At this moment, although the two of them were walking together, this was only for the convenience of communication. If there was a person with similar skills standing nearby, they would discover that Yang Chuan maintained a faint sense of alienation and vigilance towards the person beside him.
In fact, even though he joined hands with Kong Yin to fight against the old dragon, he did not trust him. Fortunately, they were in the Void Primordial Sea, and there was no point in fighting here. He did not need to be too afraid of this opponent.
He tried to sense for a long time, but he felt that in the opposite space, there was a powerful and vigorous aura wantonly leaking out. Because the aura was too strong, all other auras were covered by it. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What a powerful aura. Could it be that the cultivators of the nine continents knew that we were coming and were already prepared? That's why they let such a strange creature out?"
Kong Yin said, "No matter how prepared they are, they still need to have enough foundation and strength to rely on. It seems that there are powerful people among them who can compete with us."
He did not care whether the Nine Continents had seen through his plan or not. It could even be said that the previous news was released on purpose. Because in this way, if the cultivators of the Nine Continents did not want to start a war, they had to show their strongest side, which would reveal their true strength.
If the opponent was weaker than him, then he would rush in without hesitation. But if the opponent was strong enough, then he would choose to be cautious and wait for an opportunity to strike.
Yang Chuan stroked his beard and thought for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he said, "I thought that the other side was putting up a strong front. If they really have such strength, why not show weakness? This way, they can trick me and Headmaster Kong into going in. Won't they be able to deal with us at the same time? "
Kong Yin said indifferently, "Such a strong Qi cannot be faked. Moreover, they do not know when we will arrive. If they are not strong enough, they can maintain it for several years or even dozens of years. Even if they have the cultivation of an Imperial Emperor, they will not be able to withstand it. But there is one thing, whether the owner of this Qi is at his peak or not, we cannot tell."
Yang Chuan made an 'oh' sound. He thought for a moment and said, "Headmaster Kong, are you saying that the person might not be able to use his full strength? That is possible. If there was a powerful person in my palace who was injured by some accident and did not want to act, perhaps they would also put up such a formation." At this point, he turned to look at Kong Yin. "Since we are here, Headmaster Kong, would you like to enter the Realm with me?"
Kong Yin said calmly, "What we have gained today is enough. Let's go back."
Yang Chuan was a little surprised, but he did not object. He just snorted, turned the boat around, and headed back to the Great Dust Realm.
Kong Yin looked back in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It was possible that the cultivators of the Nine Continents were just bluffing. If he was just a rogue cultivator with no worries, he could do whatever he wanted. As long as there was a 30% chance that he could enter the Realm and find out the other side's strength.
But he was the leader of a sect, so he could not act so recklessly.
He not only had to consider himself, but also the hundreds of millions of followers behind him.
Right now, Yuliangism was being supported by his own power. If he died or was captured, it would immediately be torn apart, and the other powers in the Great Dust Realm would divide it up. With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he would not do something so dangerous.
In addition to that, there was another reason that he could not explain. If the cultivators of the Nine Continents were weak, and yet they were able to invite such a Greater Demon, that was even more terrifying. It meant that they had an extremely powerful legacy behind them, and who knew what kind of people were involved in that.
If he could, he would rather change his opponent. But the truth was that he had no other choice. The Mountain and Sea Realm was the only place in the Great Dust Realm that was suitable for cultivators to live in. And no matter what, the cultivators of the Nine Continents could not be more difficult to deal with than the True Yang Great Demon. The war between the two Realms was not now, but in the future. It would happen sooner or later.
