Sima Quan and Deng Zhenjun knew that they couldn't interfere in a battle of this scale. They would die if they got caught in the crossfire, so they didn't dare to waste any more time. With the help of the Jade Talisman, they jumped out of this small world.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the room and looked back, the two of them were stunned.
Deng Zhenjun was even more surprised. "Is this where the small world is? “
There was a glowing jade pot floating in front of them, and there was nothing around them. They were in a void. It wasn't hard to tell from the aura that they had come out of the pot Just Now.
As they looked, the small pot turned and leaped away, disappearing into thin air. They didn't know where it went.
Sima Quan's eyes flickered. "I see. No wonder Wanderer wanted to lure Gong Xiao here." “
Deng Zhenjun also reacted. He thought for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that Wanderer already had a plan?"
Sima Quan nodded. "That should be the case. This treasure must have been left behind by Lord Jade Pot. In the endless void, even Kong Yin would have a hard time finding it. The way to enter and exit is only in the hands of Wanderer. Even if Gong Xiao wins this battle, without Wanderer's permission, he won't be able to come out of the pot."
If he guessed correctly, Rao Wanderer looked like he was being chased and had to hide, but he must have been prepared to lure the enemy here.
Deng Zhenjun thought of something else, and his expression brightened. "In that case, no matter what the result of this battle, Wanderer won't lose?"
Sima Quan said, "Maybe so. We should follow Wanderer's suggestion and go to the Polar Ring Heaven Domain. We'll take out the Devil Sect's teachings first, so that we won't lose it in the future."
Although he didn't covet the teachings of the Devil Sect in this realm, he didn't lose interest. If he could take a look, it would at least broaden his horizons.
Deng Zhenjun agreed, "This is what Scattered Cultivator told us, we really can't neglect it." He looked over and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Quan Ming, now that Scattered Cultivator isn't here, I'm afraid the two of us are the ones with the highest cultivation in the lower realm. We must hold the situation."
Sima Quan said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. I know what to do."
After hiding in the small world for twenty years and cutting off contact with his clones, he urgently needed to find a place to settle down so that he could learn about the movements of the two families as soon as possible. After a brief discussion with Deng Zhenjun, he drove the flying boat to the Polar Ring Heavenly Domain.
At first, the two of them were still careful to hide their tracks, deliberately avoiding the Heavenly Regions where cultivators resided. However, they later discovered that no matter where they went, no one seemed to pay attention to them, so they let go.
In fact, if not for the fact that Unfettered Rao's cultivation had already reached the level of a Sovereign Emperor, the two clans would not have been able to deal with him after the upper echelons of the two clans were wiped out. Otherwise, they would not have pursued him for over a hundred years.
As for Sima Quan and his companion, they were not much of a threat in the eyes of the two clans. As long as they did not send themselves to their doorstep, it was not worth spending so much effort to eliminate them.
After a few months, the two of them arrived above the Polar Ring Heavenly Domain without a hitch. This was also a barren Heavenly Domain. Moreover, the stars here were barren, and the air was filled with turbid Yin Qi. Other than a few Devil Sect cultivators who cultivated bitterly, there were almost no living creatures here. It could be said that this place was isolated from the world.
According to Unfettered Rao's instructions, they took out all the Daoist books they had hidden, made copies of them, and hid them back in their original places.
For the sake of convenience, Sima Quan decided to separate from Deng Zhenjun, so he suggested, "Fellow Daoist Deng, I wonder if the battle between Unfettered Rao and Gongxiao has ended. I'm afraid that we won't be able to obtain any useful information by hiding here. I intend to contact my old subordinates and see if I can find out anything."
Deng Zhenjun cupped his hands and sighed. "I can't be of much help. I'll have to trouble you with this."
Sima Quan said, "Why don't you wait here? If Unfettered Rao wins against Gongxiao and comes out, he might come here to look for us."
Deng Zhenjun thought about it seriously, then agreed. "Alright, I'll stay here. If Fellow Daoist receives any news, please let me know."
Sima Quan immediately agreed. After discussing with Deng Zhenjun how to communicate with each other, he steered the ship out of the Polar Ring Heavenly Domain. A hundred days later, he hid on an Earth Star under the jurisdiction of the Qi Accumulation Palace, then went around contacting his clones and subordinates.
This time, he focused on finding out about Gongxiao. If he didn't return, then the battle was either not over, or he was trapped in the Jade Pot Small World.
In the following months, he didn't receive any news about this person, so he relaxed.
No matter what the result was, it was a good thing for him. During this time, he even took the time to contact the Mountain and Sea Realm, reporting the situation in the Jun Chen Realm.
This went on for five years, but there was still no news about Gongxiao and Rao Sanren. Just when he thought that the situation would remain calm, something caught his attention.
Now, there were countless flying ships flying back and forth between the two clans. The Dao of Formations was in operation, and the various Heavenly Domains were being mobilized. Most of them were disciples of the two clans.
For the sake of caution, he used his clones to observe the two clans for dozens of days. He was able to conclude that the two clans weren't targeting each other, but were most likely preparing for the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He thought to himself, 'Gongxiao still hasn't returned, so he should still be trapped in the Jade Pot Small World. From the looks of it, Kong Yin, Yang Chuan, and the others can't wait for the outcome of the battle and are preparing to make a move.'
He sighed deeply, then took the Dual Realm Dial and pressed it with his hand. After a while, a spiritual light floated out.
Jing You's figure appeared, then he cupped his hands and said, "Does Daoist Sima have any more news to send?"
Sima Quan said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Jing, the Jun Chen Realm is making a lot of movements. They are gathering the cultivators of the various clans. I suspect that they are about to attack. Please quickly report this matter to the Daoists of the various clans."
Jing You's expression turned cold, and he quickly said, "Daoist Sima, don't worry. I will report this matter to the sect as soon as possible."
Because Zhang Yan hadn't come out of seclusion yet, when the spiritual light disappeared, he did as he was told. He went to the table, wrote two letters, and sent them to the left and right halls.
After a short while, Sect Leader Qin received the report from the Palace of Crossing Truth. He pondered for a moment, then gathered his divine will. In an instant, he appeared in a mysterious space. There was a flash of spiritual light, and Yue Xuanxiao, Xue Dingyuan, Meng Zhide, and Ying Chunqiu all arrived.
After the five of them greeted each other, Sect Leader Qin said, "Today, I called you all here because Daoist Sima saw that the Jun Chen Realm is making a lot of movements. It is very likely that they are preparing to invade our Mountain and Sea Realm. According to our previous plan, if there are no obstacles, I will make my move first, and kill my way into the Jun Chen Realm before they arrive."
Everyone's expressions became serious. They knew that the war between the two realms was inevitable, but they didn't think that the day would finally come. However, the various clans had prepared for this for more than a hundred years. Now that everything had been sorted out, they could go into battle at any time.
At this moment, Yue Xuanxiao asked, "Sect Leader Qin, where is your sect's Daoist Zhang?"
Sect Leader Qin said, "Palace Master Du Zhen is still in seclusion, and his cultivation has reached a critical juncture, so he can't come here. Right now, the Jun Chen Realm is acting strangely, and mobilizing the power of a realm is no small matter. It will take at least ten years to prepare. We can wait for five years, and if Palace Master Du Zhen still hasn't come out by then, then we can only change our plan, and face the enemy in the Mountain and Sea Realm. "
Zhang Yan was an important battle force of the Nine Continents, and they couldn't do without him. Moreover, the Black Tortoise only listened to his orders. Without him, even if they attacked the Jun Chen Realm, their chances of winning were not high. In that case, it was better to wait for the enemy in the Jun Chen Realm.
Yue Xuanxiao nodded and said, "Then we'll see when Daoist Zhang comes out."
In the Du Zhen Inner Palace, Zhang Yan was still in seclusion.
Under the search of the incantation he deduced, he was gradually able to guard the twelfth heaven. At this stage, the root fruit had long been exposed, but it still refused to submit and wandered around the various heavenly passes.
But as time passed, the Root Fruit became clearer and clearer in his mind. In the end, it was clearly moving, but to him, it seemed to have stopped.
He knew that the time had come, and he immediately gathered his spirit and went up!
Boom!
The moment he found the Root Fruit, it was as if Yin and Yang were overturned, and the world was reversed. The 12 heavens shook together, and he felt his body become light. The dust on his mind was gone, and everything in the past, including the karma entanglement, seemed to have been cut off.
But at this moment, there was no aura flowing out from his body, and the hall was silent. There were no tremors or ripples, but he had already stepped into the Mortal Transformation Stage without a sound!
He smiled and chanted, "The 12 heavens contain the teachings of the Dao. Plant Xuanyuan in the Purple Qi Embryo, pluck the true flower to see the Root Fruit, and wipe away the immortal in the mortal world. "
After chanting, he shook his sleeves and opened the forbidden door of the palace. Then, he stood up and walked out.
Outside the palace, Jing You had already sensed it, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly went up and bowed, "Congratulations, Master, for coming out of seclusion." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Master, Sage Sima sent an important message not long ago, and I have already sent it to the two hall masters."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I already know. Go and call Yan Yi and the rest over, I have something to tell them."
Jing You said yes, and then left to carry out the order.
Because the war between the two worlds was near, several disciples of Xuanyuan Sect were gathered in the mountain gate. Hearing their master's order, they all moved to the Du Zhen Hall.
Zhang Yan waited for a while, and then he saw a ball of clear light flying over from below, landing in front of the hall. After the light dissipated, Liu Yanyi, Tian Kun, Jiang Zheng, Wei Zihong, Fu Baoxing, and Yuan JIngqing all appeared, and then came up to greet him.
Because the Wang sisters and Han Zuocheng had already been reincarnated, there were only these six disciples in front of him now.
His gaze swept over them, and he couldn't help but nod. The Mountain and Sea Realm didn't lack Spirit Qi. After hundreds of years, Liu Yanyi, Tian Kun, and Jiang Zheng had all entered the second stage. Wei Zihong's success was a little later, but he was only a step away from opening his Paradise.
As for the ninth disciple, Yuan JIngqing, he had also cultivated the Yuanying Dharma Body while he was in seclusion. After asking him a few questions, he found out that Yuan JIngqing had already achieved this in his early 500 years, and had a promising future.
Finally, he looked at Fu Baoxing. Not only was this disciple's Qi not obvious, but he was also lethargic, like a pool of stagnant water, with no room to move. This was clearly the result of his unsuccessful attempt to climb to the Paradise, which resulted in his yuan qi stagnating, and he had no hope of reaching the top in this lifetime.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Fu Baoxing knelt down and kowtowed deeply, saying, "Disciple has disappointed Master."
Zhang Yan shook his head, saying, "It's not that I'm disappointed in you, it's just that your lifespan is coming to an end, and you will soon be reincarnated. I don't know when we will meet again, Master and disciple."
When Fu Baoxing heard this, his body trembled, and he bowed again, saying, "Disciple has failed to live up to Master's kindness. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Your Majesty in this lifetime."
Zhang Yan lifted his sleeve and helped him to his feet, saying, "If you can't succeed in this life, you can always cultivate in the next. Your Master will wait here for you to come to this door in the future."
