In the Primordial Ocean of the Void, a boat was moving forward.
The four Daoists of Qingjue Mountain sat in a circle, but all of them were in low spirits. This time, the only ones who could escape were the four of them. The rest had all perished.
The black-robed Daoist looked up at the sky. The Mystic Crystal was floating there, emitting a faint light that enveloped the boat. This item was brought along this time as well. It was used to block the True Yang Almighty Being's sight. Otherwise, they would not be able to escape.
He asked in a low voice, "Are the arrangements for the disciples down there done?"
One of the disciples on duty replied, "Reporting to Shang Zhen, everything has been settled."
The grey-robed Daoist said, "Qingjue Mountain cannot go without a leader. Now that Mountain Master Yuan is dead, we should elect another one."
No one spoke.
The grey-robed Daoist ignored him and continued, "This matter cannot be delayed. Even when we speak to Yuan Zun in the future, we should have someone to talk to."
A middle-aged Daoist with a determined expression said, "Well said." He turned to look at the black-robed Daoist and said seriously, "Yan Du, Elder Yan is of high status and has the highest achievement among the four of us. You are always in charge of the sect's affairs and have always been calm and steady. I, Qian He, am willing to elect Elder Yan as the Mountain Master."
The young Daoist wearing a golden crown immediately said, "I, Lu Jianping, am also willing to elect Elder Yan as the Mountain Master."
The grey-robed Daoist nodded. He tidied his robe and stood up to bow to the black-robed Daoist. "Greetings, Mountain Master."
Lu Jianping and Qian He saw each other and stood up to bow as well. They said in unison, "Greetings, Mountain Master."
The black-robed Daoist did not decline. He stood up slowly and accepted the bow, confirming his status. He then said, "Greetings, Mountain Master."
When the four of them sat down again, there was a clear division between the leader and the follower. However, with the new Mountain Master taking over the position, the originally gloomy atmosphere was lifted.
Yan Du saw that the three of them were looking at him. He pondered for a while and said, "After the demons have destroyed Qingjue Mountain, there will be no more obstacles in the way. They will definitely try their best to break through the barrier. Their next step will be to invade the void's Primordial Sea. If we do not stop them, then our Dao will be in danger."
He paused for a moment and said, "Our top priority now is to find that Yuan Zun as soon as possible. However, the Glazed Crystal can only last for one to two hundred years. If there are no results by then, it is very likely that those demons will discover our whereabouts. However, although the Quan Stone has light, it is difficult to find this person's whereabouts in a short period of time. I wonder if the elders have any suggestions?"
Qian He said, "I remember that when the ancestor scattered the nightmare stones back then, there was a star sundial left behind and it should still be in the treasury. Combining the two, we might be able to find that person's whereabouts faster.
Lu Jianping, however, had a different opinion. He said, "Who knows how many Nightmare Stones were scattered in the past. In the boundless Void Primordial Sea, if we don't take the correct path, we'll just be trying our luck. I don't think so."
Yan Du turned to look at the grey-robed cultivator and said, "Elder Yu, I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Yu Fu said expressionlessly, "Only a True Yang almighty figure can find someone of the same generation. I think we should first look for the few Yuan Zun that the ancestor knows and ask them to help us deal with the demons and monsters. If they are unwilling, then we can ask them to help us find this person. That will be much easier."
When Lu Jianping heard this, he vehemently objected, "That's not appropriate. This time, I came out with the sect's treasure. This was brought out by the ancestor from Bu Xu Tian. Even those demons wanted to get their hands on it, but they didn't succeed. To put it bluntly, if those few Yuan Zun covet it and find an excuse to leave this item behind, what should we do?"
Qian He said, "Elder Lu's worries are not unreasonable. If a Venerable One has this idea, then we are indeed powerless to deal with it."
Actually, everyone present understood that if a certain Yuan Zun left this treasure behind and was also willing to accept this matter, then it would be fine. However, if he left the treasure behind and chased people away, then they would be powerless to resist.
Yu Fu did not say anything. He was only suggesting a strategy. As for what to do and how to choose, it was ultimately up to the leader of the sect to decide.
Yan Du thought about it and said, "It is indeed not easy to find that Yuan Zun with just us. However, the two elders are too concerned and have neglected one thing. The thoughts of the almighty figures of the upper realm are different from mine. In reality, there might not be a Yuan Zun who would be willing to take this treasure away. If he did, in my opinion, it would be a good thing."
Lu Jianping and Qian He were stunned. However, after thinking about it again, they somewhat understood what he meant.
This treasure was coveted even by the demon. If anyone took it away, then they would undoubtedly be targeted by the demon. It was even possible to say that it would lead to a battle between the two sides. If they could think of this, the almighty figures of True Yang would naturally be able to think of it as well. They might even be able to foresee the outcome. Therefore, if there was an almighty figure who was willing to take this treasure away, then they would most likely be prepared to fight. It was no wonder that Yan Du said this was a good thing.
Lu Jianping was still a little worried. He said, "But what if the treasure is taken away, and the demon doesn't move?"
Yan Du said, "Even if the demon doesn't fight, the treasure will still fall into the hands of the cultivators of the Human Path. It's still better than the demon getting it."
Qian He said, "Mountain Chieftain's words make sense. Being afraid of the slightest thing is not the way of our generation. Who can say for sure what will happen in this world? There's no need to be too calculative. In the worst case scenario, we will just have to fight with the demon. As long as we don't lose our conscience, we will have no regrets even if we have to go through a hundred tribulations. "
Lu Jianping's emotions were stirred up by his words. He said, "Elder Qian is right."
Yan Du said, "When the Ancestral Master was still alive, he had some friendship with Supreme Venerable Lin. Furthermore, he has the token. We can try to go there first. If we can't do it, then we'll go somewhere else."
Seeing that he had made his decision, the three of them all stood up and bowed. They said, "We will obey Mountain Chieftain's order."
With the help of the token, the Spirit Boat headed towards a world. The void's Primordial Sea didn't have any distance. The four of them only felt the flow of Qi. After three years, the response from the token became more and more obvious. Then, the surroundings trembled slightly. They knew that they had arrived at the Earth Boundary.
Yan Du focused his gaze and looked ahead. He felt a door to the world. However, he didn't dare to barge in without permission. He knew that the people of the Earth Boundary must have noticed their whereabouts by now. Someone would come over in a while.
Not long after, a tall and handsome cultivator walked out from the World Ring and headed towards the Spirit Boat.
Yan Du took the initiative to greet him with the three Elders. Seeing that the person was approaching them, he stepped forward and said, "Are you Yuan Zun's fellow Daoist? I am Yan Du of Mount Qingjue. I'm here to ask for a favor from Yuan Zun. "
The cultivator returned the greeting and said faintly, "The Yuan Venerate is in seclusion, so it is inconvenient for him to receive guests. However, he knew that fellow Daoist from Mount Qingjue would be here, so he prepared some things. Please keep them well." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a jade bottle flew out.
Yan Du sighed. He could see that although the other party was courteous, his attitude was rather cold. It was obvious that he didn't welcome them. He just wanted to send them away with some external objects.
He thought about it and accepted the jade bottle. If he was still an Elder, he would have rejected it. However, as the leader of a sect, he had to consider the whole of Mount Qingjue. He wouldn't do something so impulsive.
Then, he bowed again and returned to the Spirit Boat with the three silent Elders.
However, once they returned, Lu Jianping couldn't help but say angrily, "What is the meaning of this? Doesn't he know how much trouble the demons will cause when they invade the Primordial Sea of Void? By then, will the mighty ones really be able to sleep peacefully? "
Yu Fu calmly said the truth, "I'm afraid that's not the reason. It's because we are too insignificant to speak to the mighty ones of the upper state."
Everyone fell silent.
The True Yang mighty ones had already reached a different level. They could see things that ordinary people couldn't. They had their own considerations, so why would they care about the words of a lowly cultivator?
All in all, the status and cultivation of both parties were not equal. They couldn't even talk to each other.
Qian He said, "Hill Master, where should I go after this?"
Yan Du thought about it and said, "We can try to go to the Yaokong tribe again."
Lu Jianping said, "I'm afraid we'll hit a wall again."
Yan Du's attitude was very firm. He said, "If we don't do it, how will we know the result?"
At this moment, a voice rang out. "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to go there. They won't agree to wait for you."
This sudden voice startled the four of them. They turned around and saw a twelve or thirteen year old youth standing there. He had red lips and white teeth. His eyes were like lacquer, and his skin was like a jade sculpture. He was only wearing clothes made of coarse cloth.
This youth's appearance was very sudden. Yan Du's heart skipped a beat. He should be the one who had stopped at the Realm Gate Just Now. He had come on the Spirit Boat Just Now. However, to be able to come here without making a sound, he was definitely not someone easy to deal with. He gestured for the three of them to keep quiet and went forward to bow. He said, "May I ask who you are? And why do you say so? "
The youth said seriously, "I can't reveal my identity to you. I've tried to convince the few Yuan Zun to come with us to deal with the demons. However, just like what happened to the founding master of your sect a million years ago, no one was willing to respond to me. I advise you not to waste your efforts."
Yan Du was surprised. To be able to talk to the mighty people, this was not simple. Could it be that this person was also a mighty person? However, this youth gave them the feeling that he did not have any mana. He did not look like a clone, which was a little strange. He thought again and bowed. "Since you know about us, I wonder if you could give us some pointers?"
The youth nodded and said, "I'm here for this matter. Do you remember a sect called the Golden Phoenix Sect, Fellow Daoist Yan?"
Yan Du recalled and said, "I remember. It was a sect supported by an Innate Demon. Later, it was destroyed by Qingjue Mountain."
The youth said, "Fellow Daoist, you can look for opportunities from the things you seized back then."
Yan Du thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"
The youth shook his head and said, "I can only sense that the opportunity is here. As for what it is and what will happen next, I don't know."
Yan Du wanted to say something, but just as he was about to speak, he realized that the youth was no longer in front of him.
He pondered for a while. "The Golden Phoenix Sect?" He turned around and said, "Elder Yu, you're the oldest among the four of us. You were also in the battle with the Golden Phoenix Sect. Can you guess what it is?"
Yu Fu thought for a while and said, "Mountain Master, please wait for me."
Not long after, he turned around again, this time holding a Sky-reaching Sundial in his hand, and said, "After the destruction of the Golden Luan Sect, our sect obtained more than ten Sky-reaching Sundial, each pointing to a different world. Among them, only this one is very strange. At that time, when the sect tested it, we felt that the aura on the other side was obscure and unclear, as if there was a supreme being guarding that place. We were afraid that it was a demon trap, so after occupying the main world of the Golden Luan Sect, we didn't pay any more attention to it, and just sealed it. After thinking about it, I think that the opportunity that person mentioned just now might be here."
Yan Du thought for a while and said, "It might be this item."
Qian He said, "Then let's go there and see for ourselves."
Lu Jianping said, "This youth is mysterious and unpredictable. I wonder where he came from? Is Mountain Master really going to believe what he said? "
Yan Du said in a low voice, "Since that youth could board my Spirit Boat, if he was a demon, he would have found my tracks long ago. He wouldn't have to do this."
Qian He said in agreement, "I think that we can try."
Yu Fu said, "Even if we can't get through, it won't be too late to follow the previous path."
Yan Du nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go there!" As he said that, he pressed his hand on the Tongtian Gui. In an instant, he sensed a place with obscure Qi dynamic.
