Liang Jinglong left the Yuhuan Heavens and hurried back through the Void Primordial Sea. After three years, he finally returned to Binling Heavens.
Unlike the Yuhuan Heavens, this place didn't have the Ten Thousand Empty Ring. Therefore, it took him another ten years to enter the realm Just Now.
As soon as they arrived in this world, all they saw was a dusky purple color. There was no sun, moon, or stars at all. Looking at it was extremely depressing and nauseating. Although this was not the first time Han Xiao Ruo had seen such a scene, she still felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but knit her brows and raise her hand to cover her chest.
Liang Jinglong saw this and comforted her, "Daughter, I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to perform a ritual for you. If I can pass this time, I will personally perform the ritual for you. Not only will you not be affected by the Divine Qi, but you will also benefit greatly from it."
Han Xiaoying said, "I know that you have important matters to attend to. Don't worry about me. It's fine even if you have to wait a little longer."
Liang Jinglong's expression was very gratified. Although he had many descendants, they were left behind before he entered Dao. They were already very far apart and were not as close as Han Xiaoying. Moreover, this daughter of his had great potential and he really wanted to nurture her.
After flying for a day, they finally descended before a completely black serene hall. This hall seemed to be constructed with flowing air, and it looked like splashed ink that drifted around and merged with the surrounding scenery. As they stood here, the entire world seemed to only be left with black and white, and it was ghastly and empty without the slightest bit of vitality.
Liang Jinglong led everyone down from the carriage. He said to Han Su, "Now that you have lost your Dharmakaya, you can't withstand the Lord's Qi. It's better for you to wait outside."
Han Su said, "I will wait here for my husband."
She was full of worry. If Liang Jinglong could escape this time, then she and her daughter still had some hope. If they were punished by the Lord he mentioned, then the outcome would not be good.
After Liang Jinglong gave his instructions, he called the young cultivator over and walked into the hall. However, when he stepped into the place where the Qi flowed, he suddenly felt that his magic power was suppressed and it was extremely difficult to use. They had long since become accustomed to this. They walked along a cliff and after a hundred breaths, they arrived in front of the main hall.
The two knelt down and kowtowed. Liang Jinglong said, "Disciples Liang Jinglong and Guan Tunzhong have returned from Yuhuan. Please pay your respects to the Lord."
A four or five-year-old child came out of the hall and said, "Liang Jinglong, the Lord asks if you have done what he asked you to do?"
Liang Jinlong hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Lord, this disciple is incompetent and failed." As he spoke, he kowtowed again. "Lord, please punish me."
After a while, the boy spoke again, "The Lord said that you did not take the oath, and that it was not you. Now I ask you for the details, and you must tell me the truth."
Liang Jinglong's face was full of gratitude, and he immediately explained what Yu Huan had experienced in the All-Heavens.
But after he finished, there was no reply for a long time.
The two waited anxiously for a long time. Finally, they heard the child say, "The Lord wants the two of you to talk in the hall."
Liang Jinglong acknowledged and hurriedly got up. He walked into the hall with the young cultivator.
There were no pillars in the hall. It was empty and the ceiling couldn't be seen. The two walls were full of stone carvings. The people in the carvings were walking back and forth. There were a few people sitting high up in the carvings. When they saw the two enter, they all showed looks of disdain.
On the jade platform opposite them, there was a tall stone statue. It was roughly carved and looked like a human or a bird. It was surrounded by an ink-colored aura, giving off the feeling that it was alive.
When the two saw it, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Lord."
The stone statue said in a booming voice, "Elder Qu, what do you think about this?"
One of the people on the carvings turned around and bowed to the stone statue. He said respectfully, "Lord, I think that the problem lies in the name list. That group of people in the past had a secret agreement with the Green Jade Palace that we don't know about. I destroyed them and didn't leave anything behind. I don't think there's any way to verify it."
At this point, he raised his voice a bit and his tone became a bit more intense. "My lord, this one has already said that Elder Liang's method isn't advisable because there are too many unforeseeable matters and it is extremely easy for one's actions to be exposed. Right now, this is proof."
The stone statue said, "Elder Qu, it's my fault."
Elder Qu said fearfully, "I don't dare. I didn't mean that. It's just that Elder Liang thought that he had a deep understanding of Yu Huan's heavens and misled the Lord."
The stone statue said, "Since we can't destroy this person from the inside, we'll use your method. Liang Jinglong, do you know how powerful Yu Huan is now?"
Liang Jinglong bowed and said, "Lord, I've already investigated. Yu Huan had a great battle and several Heaven Masters died. Their strength isn't great, but it's not as great as before. The disciples of the Green Jade Palace's Secret Hall can't see the exact situation, but I've found out that there are still two Fourth Tribulation cultivators."
The stone statue said, "Elder Qu, are you confident?"
Elder Qu replied loudly, "Lord, I dare to swear that if I don't destroy this world, my soul will be destroyed."
The stone statue said, "How long will it take?
Elder Qu was very cautious and replied carefully, "Although Elder Liang and I are both Fourth Tribulation cultivators, there are still Elders of the Secret Hall in Green Jade Palace. We can't fight them head-on, so we have to start from other worlds and attack them one by one. It'll take at least seven to eight hundred years, or at least a few thousand years."
Although he had been clamoring for a forceful attack, the Bailing Spirit Sky didn't have the capability to do so. He could only attack from the corners and gradually nibble away at them, which might take a long time. It was also because of this that the Secret Hall approved of Elder Liang's strategy.
The stone statue said, "It's going to take a long time."
Elder Qu Daoren said, "I have another plan. If it's possible, we can join forces with that Evil Lord. That way, we'll have a better chance of winning and it'll take less time."
At this moment, Liang Jinglong raised his head and said, "Lord, that Evil Lord isn't reliable. Back then, we decided to take one world each, but now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, Lord has completely taken over the Bailing Spirit Sky, but there's still no progress on the Evil Lord's side. I'm afraid he's not serious about it."
The stone statue said, "That's not the case. The previous internal strife in the Yu Huan Heavens was caused by him. Although I don't remember many things, the method to destroy the merit points is our obsession. He will do his best. I'll discuss this with him. Elder Qu, I'll leave it to you to make arrangements for the attack on the Yu Huan Heavens. You're free to allocate the resources you need."
Elder Qu acknowledged the order loudly.
The stone statue continued, "Liang Zhanglao, you escaped and came back, I should have punished you, but this time it was not your fault, and now I am in need of manpower, I will allow you to redeem yourself. You and your martial brother Cheng Guan Tun Zhong, you will be under Qu Zhanglao's command. If anything happens to you, I will allow you to report to me."
Liang Jinglong hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm very grateful for Lord's benevolence."
The stone statue said, "That's all. Don't disappoint me this time." With that, the voice faded and the ink-colored mass of air above the stone statue slowly dissipated.
Elder Qu knew that the Exalted Lord had left. With a shake of his body, he came down from the wall and walked to Liang Jinglong. With a stern expression, he said, "Elder Liang, attacking Yu Huan is not a small matter. Let's put aside the grudges between us for now. You've just returned, so you should be more familiar with the situation than I am. Let's discuss a general plan later."
Liang Jinglong was lucky to escape, so he kept a low profile. He said, "That's what I should do. Elder Qu, can you give me some time? I still have some matters to attend to here. I'll visit you later."
Elder Qu frowned and said, "Don't make me wait too long." With that said, his body blurred and turned into a dark cloud light. He soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The young cultivator watched him leave. He came up and asked, "Senior Martial Brother, are we really going to listen to him?"
Liang Jinglong said, "That's all we can do for now.
The young cultivator said, "Qu Weigong still needs us now, so he's being so polite to us. Once he understands what's going on, he might let us take the vanguard. At that time, our lives will be in his hands."
Liang Jinglong said, "Just Now, didn't you hear what Lord said? If I encounter any danger, I can report to Lord and ask Lord to make a decision. Moreover, Qu Weigong and I are the only ones in the Ling Heavens. If I'm not here, he won't be able to do anything alone. There's no need to do that now. "
The young cultivator was relieved after hearing that.
Seeing that everything was fine, the two of them left the hall. When they reached the outside, Han Su came up and asked, "Husband, how is it?"
Liang Jinglong said, "The matter has been resolved, so we've passed this hurdle. However, I'll be accompanying Elder Qu to attack Yu Huan Heavens soon. Before that, I'll make arrangements for you and your daughter."
Han Su hesitated for a moment. She touched her forehead and took out a crystal bead. She handed it over and said, "Husband, this is the other half of the secret technique."
Liang Jinglong was a little surprised. When he asked for it previously, Han Su refused to hand it over no matter what. He didn't expect her to hand it over voluntarily now. He nodded and received it. He said in a deep voice, "I'll choose a place for you in two days and send you to reincarnate. I'll also take good care of our daughter."
Han Su bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, husband."
However, just as she bowed, a formless yin wind emerged from her body. When it reached the sky, Peng Xiang appeared and looked down at the world beneath his feet.
Originally, he had been guarding Xuan Hongtian under Zhang Yan's orders. However, Guan Tunzhong's spying outside had attracted his attention. He followed Guan Tunzhong and did not expect to accidentally discover Xuan Hongtian's plot.
Actually, even a Enlightenment Realm cultivator would find it difficult to detect him under the invasion of Qi. However, Liang Jinglong and his senior brother both had an obscure Qi that he did not dare to touch. He was afraid that if he intruded, he would alert the mastermind. Therefore, he chose to attach himself to Han Su and her daughter and successfully arrived here with them.
Over the past few days, he had more or less figured out Xuan Hongtian's motive. He thought to himself, "These people want to destroy the method of good deeds. This is not tolerated by Shangzhen. I'll first investigate the situation in this world. When there's a chance, I'll try to inform Green Jade Palace so that they'll be on guard." After making up his mind, his body suddenly dispersed and turned into gusts of yin wind that flew in all directions.
