Zhang Yan was confident in his trip to the Jun Chen Realm. However, no matter what he did, he did not consider victory, but defeat. No matter what the outcome of the battle was, he had to prepare a path of retreat. The reason why he gathered the disciples today was to explain all the matters clearly before that.
"The sects of the Nine Continents and the cultivators of the Jun Chen Realm are about to fight. To prevent the Mountain and Sea Realm from suffering a calamity, I will fight our way into the Jun Chen Realm with the Sect Leader and a few other cultivators. However, the outcome of the battle is hard to predict. Now, the two Sect Leaders Meng and Ying have opened up an empty space in the Evil Realm that can accommodate us cultivators. If the battle goes badly, there is no need for you to stay in the Evil Realm. You can go there and hide. If the battle goes well, the next thing you need to do is to sweep through the Jun Chen Realm and collect all sorts of cultivation items for our Nine Continents to use. No matter what happens, all of you need to make preparations. "
When the disciples heard this, they bowed and accepted the order.
After Zhang Yan finished instructing them, he passed on the secret techniques that he had deduced and figured out over the years.
Among them, the most valuable were the techniques to break through the barriers. He himself had broken through 12 barriers, which he had never done before, so he had found some way to do it.
As for the method to find the root and fruit, the records that he had read could only be read by the three Hall Masters and could not be passed down. However, after he had personally deduced it, he had gained some understanding. Even in the sect, it could be considered a wonderful method. At this moment, he passed it down.
After the disciples left, he went into the hall and came to the gold and bronze bracket where the Two Realm Dial was placed.
Just Now, when he came out of seclusion, he had communicated with Sect Leader Qin and the others through his Divine Will. He already knew what was going on in the Jun Chen Realm. However, there were some things that he needed to ask Sima Quan.
When his gaze fell, the dial shone with spiritual light and rose one zhang high. After a while, Sima Quan's figure appeared. When he saw Zhang Yan in front of him, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Sage Zhang. I didn't think that Sage Zhang would come out of seclusion."
Last time, there were some matters that were inconvenient for him to discuss with Jing You. Originally, he was prepared to wait for Sect Leader Qin to contact him to explain in detail. Now that Zhang Yan had come out of seclusion, there was no need to do so.
Zhang Yan nodded his head slightly and said, "Master Sima, since the two families have decided to attack me, I assume that the future troubles in the world have already been dealt with. I have to ask, how strong are the two families now?"
Sima Quan replied, "I'm still investigating this matter. From the information I heard from Sanren Rao, it seems that each of the two clans has a Sovereign Emperor who has pledged allegiance."
When Zhang Yan heard this news, his expression was still calm. He said, "In that case, we have to deal with two more people than before."
Sima Quan thought about it and said, "Maybe only one."
Zhang Yan replied with an 'oh' and asked, "Is there any change in this?"
"There was indeed an accident."
Sima Quan then told him about how Gong Xiao chased after Sanren Rao and how he was trapped in the Jade Pot Small World. In the end, he said, "Now that Gong Xiao's status is unknown, I think it's very likely that he won't be able to participate in the battle."
Zhang Yan did not comment. He had always been a person who underestimated his enemies and would only try to overestimate them. He would not think about luck. Gong Xiao might not be here now, but he might be here after they killed their way into the Jun Chen World. Moreover, it was hard to predict Sanren Rao's attitude. To him, this was an uncertain variable. He thought about it and said, "Master Sima, how many more times can your Dual Realm Dial be used?"
Sima Quan replied, "In these hundreds of years, I have accumulated enough spirit opportunity. I can use it three more times in a short period of time. If it's any more, I'm afraid it won't work. It's not that there isn't enough spirit opportunity, but the dial might not be able to withstand it."
Zhang Yan said, "That's good. In a while, I will discuss the matters of this expedition with the other Venerables. At that time, there are some things that I need to ask Fellow Daoist."
Sima Quan cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. Sima has nothing to do now. I can listen to your orders at any time."
Zhang Yan nodded. With a wave of his sleeve, he scattered the spiritual light and put away the magical artifact. Then, he rode the wind and left the True Purification Palace. He flew into the heavens, and not long after, he arrived above the Heaven Mending Pavilion's formation diagram. With just a spatial shift, he landed in front of the main hall. When the disciples on duty saw him arrive, they all bowed respectfully.
He waved his sleeves and stepped into the hall. He saw that Sect Master Qin and Meng Zhen had already arrived. After greeting them, he sat down on a seat at the side.
Meng Zhen said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, please wait for a moment. The few Venerables are rushing over here and will arrive soon."
Even though Venerable Fan Tu could communicate with each other using his spirit intent, it would still consume his own mana and spirit opportunity. Furthermore, it was a huge matter that could not be explained in a few words. Hence, they needed to sit down and discuss.
Zhang Yan turned around and looked at the seat. He asked, "Sect Master Zhenren, how is Ying Gui doing?
Against cultivators like Jun Chen, this big Kun was an extremely important bargaining chip. Previously, Kong Ying was also afraid of its tyrannical Qi. Just Now, he retreated. It was clear how powerful it was. If he could get its help in battle, their chances of winning would be greatly increased.
Sect Master Qin smiled and said, "Even though Ying Gui is lazy, under my continuous supervision, his vitality has been replenished after more than a hundred years. Even though he is not at his peak, he should be able to fight with the enemy without any problems."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "In this case, our chances of winning are much higher."
About half a day later, brilliance flickered outside. The spiritual tide surged and the formation doors formed layers of heavenly grottoes. It was Yue Xuanxiao, Xue Dingyuan, and Ying Chunqiu. Not long after, they arrived at the hall. After greeting everyone, they sat down.
At this moment, Zhang Yan circulated his mana and took out the Dual Realm Dial. Then, he pointed at it. In a flash of spiritual light, Sima Quan's figure appeared. He looked around and bowed. He said, "Greetings, Venerables."
Zhang Yan said, "Venerables Sima, the sects of the Nine Continents are not going to wait for the enemy to come knocking on our door. Instead, we have decided to attack the Jun Chen Realm first. Therefore, we need you to explain the situation in this realm."
Sima Quan's heart trembled. He did not expect the sects to attack first. But after thinking about it, this method was very feasible. He thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Venerables Venerables should know that the Jun Chen Realm is currently ruled by Yu Liang and Ji Qi. Among them, Yuliangism is the most powerful. Apart from Sect Master Kong Ying, there are four Emperors guarding the Jun Chen Realm. They are Emperor Xiao of Cheng, Emperor Gong Chang of Qi, Emperor Gu Congrong of Chang, and Emperor Andi Bei Xiang Tong. “
"So, Gong Xiao and Gong Chang are the two High Priests of the Mountain and Sea Realm. In the information that Sima Quan sent me, there are many records about them. I won't go into too much detail. Gu Congrong is from the same sect as Kong Ying and is his trusted aide. As for Bei Xiang Tong, he was originally a cultivator from the Lower Realm. After his cultivation reached a certain level, he ascended to the Jun Chen Realm Just Now. I have no way of finding out about their cultivation, but in Yuliangism, both of them are below Gong Xiao and Gong Chang in terms of status and power.
"As for the Qi Accumulation Palace, it is slightly weaker. There were originally only three emperors in the palace, namely Palace Lord Yang Chuan, Great Imperial Executive Jiang Can, and High Supervisor Shang Zhou. Among the three, Palace Lord Yang Chuan had the highest achievements, and the others were inferior."
Zhang Yan said, "Daoist Sima Quan said that there is one more person in each of the two sects. Do you know who they are?"
Sima Quan said, "I know a little. One of them is surnamed Ming, and the other is surnamed Duan. After the rise of Yuliangism, they knew that they were no match for the other sects, so they took the initiative to give up their Emperor title and led their disciples to hide in the Wild Desolate Heaven Region. They showed that they did not want to compete, but in the end, they were still unable to escape."
When Ying Chunqiu heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Since we are already in the situation, unless we can truly escape, how can we truly be free and unfettered? Cultivating the Dao is also cultivating oneself. The master of oneself is the master of the Heavens. These two Fellow Daoists have forgotten their roots and only placed their hopes on the pity of others. It is not surprising that they ended up like this."
Yue Xuanxiao said coldly, "The path of the Great Dao is not one that cannot be fought."
Sect Leader Qin said in a low voice, "Now that I think about it, the ones we need to meet this time are the ten Emperors. According to our previous plan, we will attack one of them. Which one do you think should we attack first? “
In terms of numbers, Jun Chen World had more Emperor Emperors than them. Moreover, putting aside their battle prowess, Kong Ying's strength was unparalleled in both worlds.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Demon Patriarchs of the Lotus Heart Tribe and the Ox Dragon Tribe were restricted by the Heavens and Earth, so they could not fight. Only the cultivators of the Nine Continents could cross over. On the surface, it seemed that their chances of victory were very small.
However, it was important to note that this was only the strength of the Jun Chen Realm. In this realm, because the Heavens were very far away from each other, and for the sake of cultivation, the Emperors usually avoided each other and did not disturb each other.
Not only that, but Yuliangism and the Qi Accumulation Palace had fought several times before. Even if they temporarily put aside their enmity in order to attack the Mountain and Sea Realm, they still maintained vigilance against the other party. Before the real battle began, they would not gather together.
The Nine Continents had long since made a decision to use the conflict between the two parties to gather all their strength and attack one of them first. After dealing with it, they would turn around and deal with the rest.
At this time, Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said, "Sect Leader Reverend, disciple thinks that we should first take Yuliangism."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, why don't you tell me the reason?"
Zhang Yan said, "From the information that Reverend Sima sent us, Yuliangism was not very famous in the early years. Later on, someone like Kong Ying appeared, and Just Now, it is gradually becoming stronger. And in the sect, with the exception of Gu Congrong, the other upper echelons have been forced to submit to it. It can be said that the life and death of the entire sect are all tied to Kong Ying, and he is the person with the highest cultivation in the Jun Chen Realm. If we can kill or seriously injure him, we will have won half the battle. Even if we retreat now, the Jun Chen Realm will not have the power to attack us in the short term. Instead, they will be worried that I will attack them. "
Yue Xuanxiao laughed and said, "That makes sense! First strong and then weak, that is exactly what I want! "
Xue Dingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I agree. Reverend Sima once said that the Yuliang and Qi Accumulation Palace have a deep grudge, and they are only temporarily suppressing it. If we attack the Qi Accumulation Palace, it may seem like we have the upper hand, but with Kong Ying's courage, and the fact that he is the stronger party, he will most likely come to help. But if we switch sides, it is not certain. The Qi Accumulation Palace will most likely sit by and watch us fight, and when both sides are injured, they will make a move."
