Several days later, when Bai Wei was cultivating the fundamental method, he sensed something strange. He checked and found that all the monsters sent to the Kunshi Continent were killed. None of them were left.
He said in a deep voice, "The death of those monsters means that their whereabouts have been exposed."
Lu Li frowned. "I don't think I can explain to Taiyi."
Bai Wei thought about it and waved his hand. "It's okay. We can try to continue and explain to him at the same time."
Compared to this, he was more concerned about something else. He had clearly concealed these beasts, yet not a single one of them had been able to escape. This meant that someone among the Dao Yuan Venerates had a higher cultivation level than them.
Cultivation was not equal to cultivation. However, in order to reach higher realms or to figure out the enemy's secret skills, those who were good at cultivation would be better.
But it was reasonable. In this era, the world was still ruled by the human path. Now that Yuan Zun had returned, he could peek into the Great Dao and benefit a lot from it.
The "Fundamental Superior Sutra" they created could not replace the human path in the end, so it was not as good.
Actually, there was another reason. Zhang Yan hadn't been cultivating for a long time. In terms of Dao Techniques alone, he might not be able to defeat these Connate Demons. However, he had been cultivating the secret techniques passed down by the Founding Master for many years. So, he was far better than the Connate Demons. Moreover, this advantage would only grow bigger as time passed.
Lu Li said, "I will tell him now."
After a while, he said, "There is a rumor that Taiyi wants me to try again. This time, he will escort me."
Bai Wei said, "You can tell him that if he fails this time, Yuan Zun will be on high alert. He will have to wait for some time before he makes another move."
Lu Li said, "Understood."
Bai Wei, on the other hand, continued to capture ferocious beasts and monsters and infused them with Primordial Qi, raising the level of the beasts. When he was done, he waved his sleeve and sent them to Daoist Priest Daoyi, letting him deal with them as he pleased.
On the Kun Shi Continent, the various tribes fought and made peace. Soon, another ten years passed.
Now that the war was at a stalemate, the Yue clan was powerless to wipe out the other races, and the other tribes could not do anything to the Yue clan, who had the aid of many vicious beasts. The Human Dao Domain seemed to have returned to its previous state of unity.
Because they understood that it was not appropriate for them to fight on their own, a few years ago, the various divisions formed an alliance and elected Cheng Liang, the leader of the Cheng Division, as the leader.
The Cheng Tribe was one of the five great tribes in the past. Even though they had been defeated by the Yu Tribe back then, they still maintained a certain amount of strength. Over the years, the Yue Clan had gathered their strength and launched several expeditions, but they were unable to completely defeat the Cheng Tribe. However, after exhausting themselves time and time again, the Cheng Tribe gradually found it difficult to hold on.
Inside the tent, the chief of the tribe, Cheng Liang, said with a solemn expression, "Dear tribe members, Just Now, I've checked the warehouse and found that there aren't many treasures left."
The clan elders were all shocked.
Now, the tribes only retained a small number of soldiers. Most of the adult men were engaged in herding and farming in the tribes. Otherwise, they would not have lasted for more than ten years. On the battlefield, it was entirely up to the cultivators to fight against the demons and beasts.
However, the cultivators would not work for free. They needed external herbs and treasures to cultivate or refine magic treasures and pills.
An elder asked anxiously, "Why didn't you send people to harvest them, Clan Leader?"
On the left sat an old man in a white robe and a golden circlet on his head. He said, "How can it be so easy? After ten years, all the external herbs around the tribe have been harvested clean. We need to search further away. How can we fill this hole in time? "
Cheng Liang said in a low voice, "The Yue Clan has been preparing for more than ten years. Needless to say, there are still countless treasures accumulated in the past in the treasury. Given the current situation, as long as they use up all the treasures in our hands, they will not have the help of the immortals, and they will be able to win this war."
The elder from before, Daoren, said, "Then what if we borrow from other tribes?"
Cheng Liang shook his head and said, "Nowadays, most of the tribes are in the same situation. There is only one exception …"
Before he finished speaking, a servant came in from outside and presented a letter to the table. He said, "My Lord, Just Now, the messenger from the Ying Tribe has arrived. He said that in at most ten days, he will be here."
Cheng Liang's expression changed. He picked up the letter and looked at it. He said, "There is the obstruction of the Qiong Mountain outside. How can they come here?"
The servant said, "The messenger said that they have their own ways."
"Ying Tribe?" The elder's expression changed. "Is it the exception that the Clan Leader mentioned?"
Cheng Liang said, "Exactly. The Ying Tribe's treasury is full of treasures and medicines. This time, not only will they send people to deliver them to us, they will also send soldiers to help us in battle."
The elder was stunned. He said, "I heard that this tribe only has a population of two to three hundred thousand. How many strong soldiers can there be in the tribe? What's the use even if they come? "
The elder with the golden circlet said, "Of course not. The Ying Tribe and the Bi Tribe are located outside of the Qiong Mountain, but they are able to multiply on the barren land. This is enough to prove that they are capable. I heard that the Ying Tribe obtained a treasure in the early years that can be used to frighten the beasts. If we bring this treasure here, I believe that our generation has a chance of winning."
Hearing this, he was more confident.
Yuan Zhen stood on top of the Dharma Pagoda and looked to the east. After ten years of trekking, in a few more days, the three thousand soldiers he sent out would reach Zhaoyuan. At that time, as long as everything went according to his plan, the great plan would succeed.
In the past, the Yue Clan asking for the beasts to help them in battle was actually related to him.
Of course, he did not ask anyone to do so. This kind of karma was not something he dared to touch. He only sent a few obedient beasts over. As long as anyone was willing to pay the price, this generation would be willing to serve. As long as the Yue Clan was not stupid, they would naturally make the right choice.
Later, things developed as he expected. Now that the tribes could not do anything to the Yue Clan, it was time for the Ying Tribe to step in. As long as they defeated the Yue Clan in one fell swoop and helped the son of King Zhao to the position of ruler, then he would have a place in the human path. This way, he could openly search for fated people in the world.
Although many fated people had already been found by some cultivators and beasts, that was only a small portion of them. Most of the rest were still in the human path. It was not too late for him to act now. If he succeeded, there was a high chance that he could obtain the Zhou Huanyuan Jade.
Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt something strange. His expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and looked in a certain direction. "Hmm, could it be …"
One of the reasons why Deng Zhang and Yin Ping had sent him here was to find something left behind by a True Yang cultivator. Although he was scheming to obtain the Zhou Huanyuan Jade, he had always been paying attention to that place. Just Now, he had clearly sensed something.
But now that he looked again, he found that everything had returned to normal, as if Just Now was just an illusion.
At his level of cultivation, he would not normally lose his mind, but when it came to the True Yang Yuan Zun, it was very difficult to say.
He changed his mind. If he went to that person's historical abode, who knew how long it would take. Right now, he was at a crucial point in his plan. At most, he would have a result in a few decades. He might as well wait a little longer and go to that place to investigate.
After making up his mind, he sat back down, still staring at where Zhaoyuan was.
In a nameless valley in the continent, Chen Mang stood in a pavilion, looking towards the east, lost in thought.
Although he had followed Cen Xiao to this place and avoided the chaos of the human path, this place was not completely closed off. From time to time, there would be flying letters. The day before yesterday, he heard that the tribes were losing ground, and there were even voices of peace talks with the Yue clan. He was very anxious about this, and wanted to go down the mountain to help in the battle.
Once this thought appeared, it became more and more difficult to suppress.
He had followed Cen Xiao and practiced for ten years. Because he was already old when he became his disciple, it was impossible for him to open his meridians and break through. Therefore, what he practiced was the Mystic art of refining qi and blood. He also had the ability to use elixirs and treasures. He could be said to have some skills, but he also understood that even those cultivators were the opponents of demons. With his own ability, it was impossible for him to achieve his goal, and he might not even be able to rush there.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked up and said, "Oh right, Senior Brother Bai Yi!"
He turned around and went back to his residence. He poured out a few pills from the gourd hanging on the wall, then ran to the backyard. A white jade lion was lying there, its tail gently swaying. When it saw him, it came up to him in a fawning manner, circling around him.
Chen Mang tossed the elixir to it, and let it swallow it. Then, he went up to the majestic mane, and said, "Senior Brother Bai Yi, aren't you bored staying here all day? Why don't you follow me down the mountain to play?"
The jade lion shook its head, and sent a thought to him.
Chen Mang said, "Alright, we'll go early and return early."
The jade lion grunted, and agreed.
Chen Mang thought, "With Senior Brother Bai Yi's help, I'll be able to avoid enemies in time."
He was afraid that Cen Xiao would find out and stop him, so he decided to leave immediately. At this moment, he glanced over and saw an incense burner on the stone table. His eyes brightened. This item looked normal, but it was actually a treasure. The last time he saw it, when Cen Xiao used it, he only needed to chant a spell, and anything would turn into ashes. So, with a sweep of his sleeves, he rolled it in, and flipped onto the back of the jade lion. With a soft cry, he flew into the sky.
At this moment, in another pavilion, Cen Xiao was standing there and watching.
He could tell that this disciple had a lot on his mind, but he was told by Zhang Yan that if he insisted on doing something, he could persuade him, but it was best not to forcefully stop him. In fact, he could even help him when it was convenient, such as the white jade lion and that treasured incense burner. Without his permission, he could forget about controlling them.
Seeing this disciple disappear into the sky, he returned to the cave abode and bowed to a jade annulus.
After a short while, spiritual light floated, and Zhang Yan's figure appeared. After seeing him, he bowed again and said, "Teacher, my disciple has gone down the mountain. “
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I understand. Since Chen Mang has entered my sect, if he encounters any danger, you don't have to worry about anything else. You can help him resolve it."
He felt that although Chen Mang was a fated person, no matter what, he was still a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect. If he encountered a situation where he would definitely die, it meant that it was impossible for the Origin Jade to appear. So, at that time, he should still help him.
