After bidding farewell to Ying Kuang, Danguang returned to Yanlu Kingdom and decided to stay there.
The safety of the Eleventh Prince was of utmost importance. Even though he had left the cave abode behind to protect it, he still had to take precautions. If the Eleventh Prince was killed, then all the preparations he had made would go down the drain.
In order to prevent the Heavenly Court's possible attack, he and his fellow sect members set up a large restrictive array around the Yanlu Kingdom.
Apart from this matter, he would come out once in a while to preach Dao. The main purpose of this was to improve the cultivation of the Qi Practitioners under the Eleventh Prince so that they could be used in the future.
Many Itinerant Immortals who lived in other continents heard about this and felt that this was a rare opportunity, so they also came to listen to his preaching. In the end, even some of the Qi Practitioners who served the Third Prince secretly came to listen to his preaching.
Danguang did not stop them. After all, the two factions were still allies in name, so there was no need to stop them. Moreover, after these people listened to his preaching, they might not necessarily side with him in the future, but they would form an invisible bond of karma. Who knows, they might need to use it one day.
After a hundred days passed, one day, when he was preaching Dao, he suddenly sensed something. He looked up into the sky and saw two rays of clear light flying into the sky. He recognized the two people. One was named Quan Jian, while the other was named De Dao Zhi Sheng. He guessed that the battle between the two parties had begun.
After being informed by Zhang Yan, he understood that this battle would not determine the outcome of the battle. Thus, he was not interested in watching any longer. Just as he was about to return to his senses, the sky suddenly darkened and the stars in the sky suddenly lit up.
His expression froze and he said, "Star Lord is descending?"
Just as he had guessed, in the blink of an eye, countless meteors fell from the sky and landed on the human world.
If there were no accidents, this was the Heavenly Court's move.
However, none of these meteors were heading towards the Yanlu Kingdom. Instead, they were heading towards the Xing Tai Continent. It seemed like the Heavenly Court was placing more importance on the Third Prince.
Wan Guang didn't let his guard down because of this. Who knew if the Heavenly Court would create a diversion? Thus, he immediately called his fellow sect members over and ordered them to stand guard in case of any mishaps.
Over at the Apricot Continent, Third Prince Hao Chang looked calm and composed on the surface, but his body was trembling slightly. After all, the might of the Heavenly Court's Star Lord was too great. Even with the protection of a Perfected Immortal, he could not completely dispel the fear in his heart.
Moreover, there were three experts from the Quan Dao who were battling with De Dao in the Zique Mountain, so the Celestial Emperor was obviously taking advantage of this gap to come and capture him.
He took a deep breath and looked back at the Daoist standing behind him, "Daoist Runming? What do you think? "
Daoist Runming replied calmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The so-called Star Lords are merely formed from the essence of the stars. They can only deal with the ordinary demons and cultivators from the lower realm. They might not even be able to get past the array formation set up by I. If Your Highness feels that something is wrong, you can hide in the eye of the array formation behind the palace."
Hao Chang didn't listen to this. He believed that he was where everyone's morale was. No matter how afraid he was, he couldn't retreat so easily. Moreover, although this Daoist Runming was a little arrogant, his cultivation was impressive. Hao Chang was confident in his judgment.
Just as the starlight was about to crash down, Daoist Run Ming lightly flicked his horsetail whisk. A circle of light rose above the Small Chengyang Palace. In a split second, clouds and smoke swirled around, forcefully restraining the starlight. One could see that the sky was shaking, the mountains were collapsing, and dust and smoke were billowing. But inside the palace, it was peaceful, not even the slightest tremor could be felt.
At this moment, he finally had the time to look elsewhere. He saw that all the Star Lords were rushing towards him, but there was no movement from the Yanlu Kingdom. He knew that he had helped his eleventh brother block the calamity, and he couldn't help but snort.
Right at this moment, the boundless starlight outside the formation dispersed, and then numerous enormous divine generals that blotted out the sky appeared in the sky. All of them held weapons in their hands, and one of the largest divine generals among them, who was dressed in golden armor, took a step forward. He held a golden hammer in his hands, and when he was about to raise it up high, he suddenly swung it down!
Boom!
This time, the Little Chengyang Palace shook as well.
Runming was a little surprised and said, "Not bad." His eyes lit up. He stared for a moment and said, "I see. Is it because of the talisman of Dao of Virtue?" He turned around and said to the Third Prince, "This time, there is Dao of Virtue involved, but I can still deal with it. To avoid being distracted, I hope Your Highness can retreat for now."
Haochang didn't insist this time. Just Now, that Star Lord's shocking attack didn't break the restriction, but it still made his spirit tremble. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Daoist." Then, he turned around and retreated into the inner palace.
As for the Yanlu Kingdom, Dandy Guang didn't let his guard down. If the Star Lords' attack didn't go smoothly, it was possible that they would turn around and attack the Yanlu Kingdom.
At this moment, he felt a trace of disharmony. It was as if there was a flaw in something that was originally perfect, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was. He changed his mind and leaped up. He walked around the array and suddenly stopped at a certain spot. He blew a breath of clear air in that direction. Immediately, a ray of rainbow light flew up. However, before it could get far, the clear air caught up to it and it disappeared in an instant.
Dandy Guang sneered. Just Now, he saw clearly that it was a statue of a god. This should have been buried by the Immortal Official in the Yanlu Kingdom. He didn't notice it before, so Dao of Virtue must have done something to deal with the Eleventh Prince. After the array was activated, it was forced to reveal itself. It could be said that they had unintentionally gotten rid of a hidden danger.
The Star Lords' descent caused quite a commotion. At this moment, Ying Kuang, who was far away in the Great Zhou Dynasty, also felt it.
He took out the Heavenly Talisman and immediately saw the scene in the Apricot Continent. Through observation, he found that at least half of the Star Lords had descended. His eyes lit up.
If he charged into the void now, he could catch the Heavenly Court off guard and even severely injure these Star Lords.
He didn't act rashly. Instead, he calculated in his heart and thought that since these Star Lords had come out, it would be easy to retreat. If he really wanted to make a move, it would be best to wait until the other Perfected Immortals fought fiercely.
Thus, he kept his cool and adjusted his aura, waiting for an opportunity.
After a few days, he saw that the battle between the two sides was getting more and more intense. It was difficult to separate for a while, so he didn't hesitate and leaped up into the void. At the same time, he took out the green leaf he got from Dandy Guang and concealed himself.
As expected, as he flew, no one discovered his tracks.
With the help of the Heavenly Talisman, he entered the depths of the void in an instant. There were billions of starlight reflected on the walls of the void. Every star shone with boundless light. This was the sign of the Yang Manifestation of the Heavens and Earth. It had existed since the beginning of time. Anyone with a weaker cultivation would be instantly swallowed up by the starlight.
He had the Heavenly Talisman with him, so he wasn't afraid of this. With a thought, a golden talisman appeared behind him and hovered above his head. As he activated it, halos of light appeared.
However, right at this moment, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart. Before he even had the time to check, he suddenly saw a large hand stretch out from the void and grab towards him. The fingers were slender and white as if they were carved from fine jade.
"Dao of Virtue's Grand Supreme?"
Ying Kuang was shocked. However, when he looked again, he realized that it was a setup left by the Grand Supreme. He suddenly realized something. Though Dao of Virtue's Grand Supreme said he wouldn't interfere with the Heavenly Talisman, if he came here on his own accord, then it wouldn't count as breaking his promise. Perhaps the Grand Supreme predicted that he would come here, so he set up this trap first.
At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Dao of Virtue's setup was something he could easily deduce with a little deduction. However, he didn't think about it beforehand. His mind must've been deceived.
The Heavenly Talisman came from Dao of Virtue's Grand Supreme, so it was very likely that Dao of Virtue had hidden such a trick.
If that was the case, did Heaven Ruler know about this? Was the reason why he was able to steal the Heavenly Talisman so easily?
However, even if he understood all of this, he couldn't solve the crisis before him.
In the face of the Grand Supreme's power, even with the Heavenly Talisman in hand, he had no power to resist. He could only watch the jade hand fall.
Just as he was about to be grabbed, the green leaf floating in front of him suddenly bloomed with a five-colored brilliance and stopped the big hand. Then, the two collided and disappeared like smoke in the wind.
At the same time, Ying Kuang found that he could move again. The green leaf floated down and fell into his hand. He understood that this time, it was the Grand Supreme of Mount Li Wang that helped him escape from this disaster. He bowed deeply in the direction of Mount Li Wang.
In the Nameless Dao Palace, Zhang Yan withdrew his gaze from Ying Kuang. At this moment, he was invited by two Grand Supreme of Daoism to wait here for the outcome of the battle with Dao of Virtue.
The Daoist on the left suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, Just Now Fellow Daoist De?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's just a small test."
The Daoist nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhang Yan looked into the void again. The two disciples who were fighting were very similar in strength. It was impossible to determine the winner in a short period of time. He said, "The result of this battle will be ten years later. If the next two battles are like this, it will be delayed for thirty years. If the fourteenth prince ascends the throne here, he will be able to stabilize the world in a few years. Once his name is established, it will not be easy to overthrow him.
The Daoist on the right said in a low voice, "We will definitely not let this happen."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and didn't deny it. In his opinion, if they didn't personally participate in this battle, this battle was completely unnecessary. So what if Daoism won? They only had a slight advantage. It was impossible to force Dao of Virtue to give in.
Similarly, if Daoism was defeated, it was impossible for them to retreat.
At this point, both parties had reached the point where they had to overturn the other party to become the winner. However, both parties were too restrained and were unwilling to take that last step.
The reason for this was that the two parties didn't have an agreement that he didn't know about. Instead, they had not walked out of the shackles of the original battle.
However, when this battle ended, both parties would not get the result they wanted. At that time, it would be impossible to ease the tension.
