On the Green Jade Palace's side, Elder Peng had guessed that Bailing Heaven would attack sooner or later after Liang Jinglong escaped, so he made preparations to deal with it. He summoned all the Heaven Lords and told them about what happened in Bailing Heaven. He also said that this place was likely to have been breached by the Evil Demons and that the Yu Huan Heavens would probably face a large-scale attack from another world.
After Yang Yougong and the others were defeated, the other worlds were taken over by the Green Jade Palace's Secret Hall Elder. With Ao Shao's full support and the other Heaven Lords' subordinates, most of the Yu Huan Heavens' power could be mobilized. Although the Yu Huan Heavens might not be invincible, it was no longer as scattered as before.
Liang Jinglong's judgement was right. As long as there was no conflict between the few worlds, it was almost impossible to destroy the Karma Method from the inside.
After the Heaven Lords learned of this, they were also shocked. They had discussed for over ten days in the Cloud Continent's Golden Hall and Just Now, they had come up with a plan to deal with it.
It was agreed that when the Heaven Lords returned, they were to speed up the construction of the restriction formation. No matter which world was invaded by the enemy, those who received the talisman should immediately send help without any hesitation.
Because they didn't know when the enemy would arrive, no one wanted anything to happen to their territory. Thus, after everyone finished their discussion, they hurried back to their worlds to make preparations.
Elder Peng also returned to his cave dwelling. After sitting down, he asked, "Is there still no news of Elder Min?"
The deacon replied, "Not yet."
Elder Peng sighed. "I hope Elder Min can return safely."
After learning that Bailing Heaven had fallen into the enemy's hands, he felt that the odds were against this elder. But even if he could return, he might have joined the Evil Demons like Liang Jinglong.
Feng Lan said, "Elder Min has always been cautious and never does anything he isn't confident in. The Evil Demons are good at bewitching people, so to me, it's a good thing that there is no news."
Elder Peng thought for a while and said, "You're right."
At this moment, Guan Longzhao walked in and bowed. "Greetings, Elder."
Elder Peng saw his strange expression and asked in a low voice, "Is something the matter?"
Guan Longzhao said, "Elder will know as soon as he sees it." He turned sideways and called out, "Bring it up."
A moment later, a rumbling sound could be heard as two thirty feet tall strong men walked in with great difficulty, carrying a huge stone slab in.
Guan Longzhao said, "This is a stone slab that we found in one of Zhu Zhutian's secret caves. There seems to be a demonic aura on it. Not only can I not store it in my Cosmos Sack, I can't use my transcendence energy to move it either. I could only summon a few great demons to move it over."
Elder Peng sensed that there was indeed an evil aura lingering on it. Previously, he had found something similar in Yang Yougong's cave abode, so he was sure that the two of them were in cahoots with evil spirits.
Guan Longzhao asked, "Elder, how should we deal with these two items?"
Peng Zhang Daoren said, "Throw it into the Heavenly Furnace of Cloud Continent and try to destroy it."
Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, cracks would suddenly appear on the stone slab, emitting a crisp shattering sound. Not long after, the stone slab shattered into a pile of rubble, and finally turned into a cloud of black smoke, drifting away and disappearing.
Feng Lan was shocked and said, "Did the evil spirit behind us sense it?"
Elder Peng pondered for a moment and said, "That's not the case, but because this stone slab will definitely be damaged in the future, so it no longer exists in the present world."
Feng Lan was startled and then laughed coldly, "That evil spirit is really capable, no wonder even someone like Yang Yougong was bewitched by it. Maybe there are still some that have not been exposed and are still hiding among us."
The deacon Daoist said, "Elder Feng, don't worry. The technique that Zhang Shangzhen deduced last time is very effective against evil spirits. I have already seen it during the discussion in the hall, and none of the Sky Lords were infected, so we don't have to worry about it for now."
Guan Longzhao said, "The evil spirit is good at changing, if it comes again, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
Peng Zhang Daoren said, "Our Yuhuan All-Heavens is not the same as before. If the evil spirit wants to come, let it come."
As they spoke, another disciple came to report, "Elder, Suyang Sky Lord requests an audience."
Elder Peng's expression changed and he said, "Quickly invite him in."
Not long after, a green-robed Daoist entered, but his appearance was blurry. This time, in order to prevent the evil spirit from attacking, the All-Heavens Sky Lords had only sent Shadow Clones here.
Elder Peng bowed and said, "Greetings, Sky Lord Cheng."
Cheng Liyi returned the greeting, then sat down at Elder Peng's invitation. Before Elder Peng could ask, Cheng Liyi said, "Elder Peng delivered the Tribulation Evasion Technique to me some time ago. This is indeed something that I need, so I have no choice but to accept it. However, I don't like to take advantage of others for no reason, so I've come to sign a contract with your esteemed palace."
Elder Peng was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
Ever since Yang Yougong's death, Cheng Liyi was the only person in the infinite realms whose cultivation was similar to Ao Shao's. After sending the Tribulation Avoidance Technique, Elder Peng thought that it would be very difficult to win Cheng Liyi over. After all, he no longer had any bargaining chips in his hands, so he didn't expect Cheng Liyi to take the initiative to sign a contract.
Elder Peng sighed and said, "Sky Lord Cheng, I thank you on behalf of Master Gong."
Cheng Liyi said calmly, "Elder Peng, you don't have to say that. If I don't do this, I may not have a good ending in the future. This is just to protect myself. The evil spirit can come at any time, so I need to return as soon as possible to make arrangements. Elder Peng, you don't have to be so courteous with me. Take out the contract, and we can sign it as soon as possible. "
Peng Zhang Daoren agreed and immediately ordered someone to take out the contract.
Cheng Liyi didn't hesitate in the slightest and immediately injected his own aura into the contract. When the contract disintegrated into a streak of light, Cheng Liyi picked up his copy and stood up. After bidding farewell, he transformed into a streak of light and left.
Elder Peng's expression relaxed a little. He finally felt relieved. Cheng Liyi had always been a loner, and Elder Peng was worried that Cheng Liyi would be targeted by the evil spirit.
This was not impossible. Even Yang Yougong had been roped in, so it was clear that the evil spirit was very powerful. Elder Peng had wanted to ask Ao Shao to pay a visit to the Suyang Heaven, but now he didn't have to worry about this anymore.
In the following days, the Heavenly Lords of the various worlds stepped up their preparations for battle. The atmosphere of the Vast Heavens was filled with an atmosphere of impending war. But what was surprising was that the great enemy still did not arrive. This wait lasted for an entire thirty years.
To the mighty cultivators, a mere few decades was not a long time. However, the people of the various realms didn't relax because of this. Instead, they were even more vigilant. The later the evil spirit arrived, the more ferocious it would be.
However, at this time, the Green Jade Palace unexpectedly received a talisman. Not only did it clearly explain the general strength of the Bailing Spirit Heaven, it also revealed the date of their attack.
When Elder Peng received the talisman, he immediately realized the value of this information. He asked, "Where is the person who sent this?"
The Daoist in charge replied, "I've asked around. I only know that this was sent by a strange wind, but I don't know who did it. If it wasn't for the fact that the restrictions on it are extremely profound, the person below wouldn't have sent it here.
Elder Peng thought for a moment and said, "Summon Feng Lan and Guan Longzhao."
Soon, Feng Lan and Guan Longzhao arrived.
Elder Peng showed the talisman to the two of them and asked, "What do you two think?"
Feng Lan looked at it in disbelief and asked, "Could this have been sent by Elder Min?"
Elder Peng shook his head and said, "No. This was sent by Elder Min, so there must be a seal of authority. It wouldn't be this random."
Guan Longzhao said, "Then could it be someone from the Bailing Spirit Heaven who refused to submit to the demons?"
Elder Peng Daoren said, "It doesn't seem like it. This talisman was clearly given to me, which means that it's someone familiar with our world."
Feng Lan said, "Then who could it be? Could it be that Liang Jinglong and the others are trying to mislead us? "
Elder Peng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for them to do this. Forget it, let's not look into their origins for now. If this talisman is real, then it seems that the demons' subordinates are about to move out from the Bailing Spirit Heaven." At this point, he emphasized, "Within ten years, we will be facing a battle!"
In the Kun Residence, a clear light flashed and Zhang Yan appeared.
He had encountered some problems during his repeated deductions with the remnant jade. Although he could solve them in the end, he always felt that there were some areas that he had overlooked. As he was thinking of a solution, he suddenly had a strong feeling that there might be something he wanted in the Ancestral Master's Cave Abode, so he returned here.
From his previous experience, it was difficult to see the secret techniques hidden in the cave abode as long as they were beyond his knowledge or cultivation level. However, after dozens of years of deductions, he had roughly practiced the True Yang Cultivation Technique in advance, so his understanding of the path of Dao and the Upper Realm could not be compared to before.
He gazed at the sky, and not long after, a floating island appeared in his eyes. There was a high peak on top of it, and it was the place he had returned to before. With a thought, he felt the scene before his eyes flash, and he was already standing in front of a stone door. With a light wave of his sleeve, the door was pushed open with a rumble.
He walked into the courtyard, his eyes sweeping around.
The last time he came to this place, there were only a few jade scrolls on the wall. But now, when he looked again, he saw many jade scrolls placed on the wall. It was as if someone had been here before.
With a faint smile on his face, he walked over to one of the caves and picked up a jade scroll. He opened it and couldn't help but nod. Just as he had expected, all of the secret manuals here were related to the cultivation of True Yang Cultivation.
He compared these with the memories that Fu Qingming had imparted to him. He realized that what was recorded here was even more detailed and complete. However, it only involved how to get past the obstacles on the path of Dao. There were no follow-up techniques. Anything that exceeded his own understanding did not exist.
He had no hope of obtaining the secret technique that would allow him to reach the heavens in a single step. After carefully looking through it, he put the jade slip back.
However, the moment it left his hand, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared. It was impossible to tell whether what he was looking at Just Now was a shadow of the past or a vision of the future.
He shook his head and did not look into it. He turned around and walked to another place, took out another jade slip, and read it with concentration.
He'd stayed here for half a year, and he'd read through all the secret manuals and comprehended them thoroughly. His understanding of his future path towards the Dao had become even clearer. He raised his head and gazed at the empty cave before him, and he felt that it was time for him to return and continue cultivating. Thus, a thought arose in his heart, and he instantly returned to the Crimson Continent.
