Zhang Yan continuously deduced many times, and was more or less able to confirm his previous judgement. Although the Great Prosperity this time had the operation of the heavens, it was also pushed by some people. However, he still couldn't figure out the purpose of doing this, and could only faintly feel that it should be related to the matter of that existence retreating.
Based on what Daoist Faceless had done last time, it seemed likely that he and the sword-bearing Daoist weren't doing as they wished. If that was the case, then it was entirely possible that they would try to pull some tricks.
After some thought, he came to the conclusion that although this wasn't an actual battle, it was still a game. The only difference was that the two sides weren't going to meet face to face, which was also a test of their abilities. Since the worlds were about to usher in a great rise, then he might as well push the boat along with the current. He wasn't going to do anything to stop it. After all, was he really worried that more Upper Realm cultivators would appear? Soul Refinement cultivators hoped to have more fellow Daoists. That way, they would be able to make progress in their Daoist magics. Since the workings of the Heavens were leaning toward this matter, then he might as well go along. Even if someone wanted to do something, he would wait and see how the situation played out before making a decision.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, in the Western Sky Badlands, in the Crane Lofty Continent, in the Soaring Star Sect.
The Soaring Star Sect was a sect that had only risen to prominence a hundred years ago. It was founded by a dozen or so rogue cultivators, as well as several cultivators from the Daoist Sect who had been pushed out.
The Mountain and Sea Realm was vast and boundless, and the Western Sky Badlands were filled with countless Demons, Devils, and Outsiders. However, ever since the Shaoqing Sect established itself on Mount Shockwave, they had wiped out all of the greater Demons and Monsters. Most of the remaining Demons and Monsters had gone into hiding, and didn't dare to show their faces. Therefore, many unorthodox cultivators from other continents had come to the Western Sky Badlands to establish their sect.
The Shaoqing Sect didn't care what sect you were from. As long as you were willing to fight Outsiders and Demons and Devils, they would allow you to establish your sect. Although the techniques of these sects weren't of the highest quality, any sect that could survive for so long was no slouch in battle.
The Soaring Star Sect had been absorbing and annexing other sects over the past few decades. Furthermore, the sect happened to be located in a valley that was filled with abundant Spirit Qi, as well as an enormous catacomb with a Spirit Spring. More than a dozen Yuanying cultivators had emerged from the sect, making it one of the most powerful unorthodox sects in the Southwest.
At this point, if there was another Grotto-Heaven cultivator in the sect, it was very likely that the sect would become one of the big sects.
Inside a stone room on the mountain wall of the sect, the Core Formation disciple Jiang Mingtang came out from his meditation. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Yesterday, he cultivated a technique from the sect. If he successfully cultivated this technique, he would be able to know the weaknesses of his body in his dreams. From there, he would be able to make up for it. This was also the most valuable secret technique of the Soaring Star Faction. Although they could not cultivate superior techniques like the Xuan Men disciples, they could use this technique to make up for their weaknesses. This way, their cultivation would not fall too far behind their peers from the big sects.
But when he woke up today, he found that not only did he see the flaws in himself, but there were also many things in his mind. Not only were there all the secret techniques and tricks of the sect that he didn't know about, but everything that happened hundreds of years later was reflected in his mind. Although he had forgotten many things, he still remembered the more important ones, which made him really scared.
Were these things real or fake?
Or did someone want to do something to the sect? Did they purposely let him see these things?
Assuming that it was fake, the person who knew how to do this should have a high cultivation level. It seemed like there was no need to plot against a junior who had just entered the Core Transformation Realm. But there were some things that a powerful cultivator didn't need a reason to do. Perhaps, they could do it on a whim.
Of course, it was not impossible for him to directly go to the big sects to verify it.
Nowadays, there were frequent exchanges between the various sects. Even if a disciple from a small sect took a detour, he could still be related to a big sect. Moreover, the Soaring Star Faction had always considered itself to be a Lower Sect of the Shao Qing Dynasty. With his position in the sect, it was really not difficult for him to ask for a solution.
But he did not dare to do such a thing. If it really involved some powerful cultivator, unless he had the protection of an upper realm cultivator at all times, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Moreover, he also had a thought. What if these were all opportunities that he obtained by chance when he was comprehending the technique? If this matter was spread out, just the fact that he knew all the techniques of the sect would be difficult to resolve.
Just as he was pondering, he heard a voice outside the door. "Is Senior Martial Brother in?"
Jiang Mingtang was startled. He heaved a sigh of relief and composed himself. "Is it Junior Martial Brother An? Please come in and talk."
The curtain was lifted and light shone in from outside the door. A young cultivator walked in. He cupped his hands and asked, "Senior Martial Brother, how was your cultivation yesterday?"
Jiang Mingtang sighed. "I was not able to fulfill my wish."
The young cultivator consoled him. "Our sect's techniques are originally concise and deep in meaning. It is harder to comprehend. Senior Martial Brother, try it a few more times and I believe you will be able to gain some understanding."
Jiang Mingtang casually agreed. He was very clear that the Soaring Star Faction's techniques were said to be concise and deep in meaning. In reality, it was because the techniques of the Soaring Star Faction were crude. They could only talk about it in general and could not explain all the principles. They could only rely on the disciple's own comprehension.
However, the Soaring Star Faction's techniques were originally deduced by the current Sect Leader and a few Elders by combining a portion of Xuanmen's techniques with unorthodox techniques. In order to compete with the other sects, they had no choice but to take an unorthodox path. Because of this, the possibility of Qi deviation was also very high. He suspected that he had also encountered such an incident. It was just that his luck was better and he saw something that he should not have seen.
He asked, "Junior Martial Brother, why are you here so early?"
The young cultivator clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot what I came here for. Just Now, the Greater Sect has sent out news that within two or three years, there will be a Grand Tournament of the various sects. They want us to prepare."
Jiang Mingtang's heart skipped a beat. This was the first thing he had experienced in the dreamscape. He also knew that the Grand Tournament would not only be held in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but also against the cultivators of the Yuhuan Heavens and other Heavens. The scale of the tournament would be unprecedentedly large.
However, the Grand Tournament would at most involve the Yuanying level. Cultivators of the Celestial Paradise could break through the barriers of Heaven and Earth, and were almighty beings who could travel through the void. At that level, they could be said to be on a completely different level from Heaven and Earth. Naturally, they would not participate in something like this.
The young cultivator continued to speak excitedly, "Elder Brother's cultivation base is at least in the top three among your peers in the sect. If our Soaring Star School can get a place in the Grand Tournament of the Grand Tournament, Elder Brother might even have a chance to follow disciples of the great sects to the Kunshi Continent. I've heard that there is boundless spiritual opportunity there, as well as countless foreign objects. If you cultivate there, your cultivation base will definitely improve quickly.
Jiang Mingtang laughed. "The demons of the Kunshi Continent are also incredible. For Side Sect disciples like me, it would be good if we could stay alive there. How could we possibly cultivate there?"
The young cultivator laughed. "Elder Brother, your words don't match your heart again. If you had the chance, why wouldn't you go?"
Jiang Mingtang was speechless. If he really could go to the Kunshi Continent, he wouldn't care about such things. If everything in the dream was real, then he really did have a chance to go there. However, in the dream, someone had interfered and prevented him from going.
He sighed inwardly. This Junior Martial Brother of his couldn't see hundreds of years in the future. How could he have imagined that his thoughts would be even more daring? Jiang Mingtang felt that he knew too much, and his courage had become weaker.
Just as they were talking, a young man came in from outside the door. He said respectfully, "Two Senior Martial Brothers, Master has summoned you."
The young cultivator said excitedly, "Senior Martial Brother, Master must have summoned us for the Grand Tournament."
Jiang Mingtang said, "Alright, I'll go with you."
Their Master was the sect's Elder, Spiritual Master Mian. He was easy-going with his disciples and didn't restrain them at all. After calling the two of them in, he let them out.
This time, it was indeed for the Grand Tournament. However, the sect didn't force them and only let them make their own choice. Obviously, the higher-ups of the sect also knew that although the Soaring Star School could compete with ordinary sects, it couldn't compare to the great sects of Xuanmen. Hence, they didn't expect anything from their disciples. They just treated it as an opportunity to broaden their horizons.
Jiang Mingtang came back and sat for an entire day. After thinking about it repeatedly, he still decided to go.
Regardless of whether the things in his mind were done by an almighty being or not, since they were in his body, he couldn't escape. Hence, he might as well go with the flow. If everything he saw was real, then everything would be fine. If it was just an illusion, then it was all his own imagination. As for the more complicated situation, he didn't think about it anymore. He didn't even dare to think about it.
He tried to recall. Perhaps it was because his cultivation wasn't refined enough, he forgot most of the details in his dream. He only roughly remembered that he was very lucky this time. He defeated many opponents of the same generation as him, and even received a few pointers from an almighty being. It was also because of this relationship that he obtained many benefits later on.
This time, if he were to go back, he believed that he wouldn't be able to do better than he did in his dream. Hence, the first thing he needed to do was not to change too much, lest he lost his original luck.
After he could preserve these, he would try to ask for more.
Although the battle of magical powers would happen in a few years, it was time to prepare now. In particular, the sect needed to try to push the cultivation of the disciples as much as possible before the battle. Hence, in the next few days, any disciple who agreed to the battle of magical powers would have their cultivation pills and secret medicines covered by the sect. They would also be given many secret cultivation methods.
Jiang Mingtang used this to confirm what he saw in his dream. After reading it, he was slightly excited. No matter what the future changes were, at least the cultivation methods and secret techniques he saw were real.
However, he felt that it was a pity because he didn't need these now. In the hundreds of years in his dream, he successfully cultivated to the Yuanying realm. For the sake of the younger generation of disciples, he once found many superior cultivation methods. Although he couldn't remember many things clearly, the contents here were firmly remembered.
Since there was an orthodox method to follow, there was no need to take such a radical unorthodox path.
He carefully cultivated according to the records of the cultivation method in his dream. In a flash, two years had passed. Although his cultivation didn't make much progress, the original flaws were filled up by him. His foundation was more stable than before.
At this time, there was also confirmed news that the battle of magical powers between the sects would be in two years.
The Ang Xing Faction attached great importance to this matter. For this reason, they sent five Yuanying elders. They brought along more than thirty Core Transformation disciples and more than a hundred Profound Light disciples, including Jiang Mingtang. They boarded a flying ship and headed to the highest peak in the southwest, Mount Orchid. They were prepared to meet up with the many unorthodox sects of the Western Absolute Domain and head to the location of the battle of magical powers together.
