The middle-aged Daoist waited for an indeterminable amount of time before the disciple finally came to report. "Sect Uncle," he said, "it's time for us to pass. However, the cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm wants to ask us a few questions. I wonder...."
"Let him come up," said the middle-aged Daoist.
The disciple said yes, and before long, a Daoist steward appeared. He bowed respectfully and said, "Mountain and Sea Realm Daoist cultivator Che Ming offers greetings, Exalted True. I am the steward here, and the sect has instructed that anyone who passes through the Great Gate of the Two Realms must be questioned. I hope Exalted True won't take offense."
"What do you wish to know?" asked the Daoist steward.
"Dare I ask your true name, Exalted True? Which Realm do you come from? Which sect do you practice cultivation from?"
The middle-aged Daoist narrowed his eyes. "Stone Smashing Heaven, Tower Enclosure Sect, Mount Lian Ji."
The Daoist steward produced a booklet from his sleeve, wrote something down, and then handed it over. "Greetings, Exalted True. Exalted True, please use your seal."
Lian Ji Shan sat there motionlessly as a seal flew out. Spiritual light shone down onto the booklet, leaving a mark on it.
He knew that by leaving a mark, he would be able to use it to find his own foundation. However, he wasn't afraid. The workings of Heaven had long since been concealed, and the people of the Mountain and Sea Realm wouldn't be able to see anything.
The Daoist steward put away the booklet, clasped his hands, and said, "Exalted True has been waiting for a long time. We will now open the Great Gate of the Two Realms." "There's something I have to say," he said. "The Mountain and Sea Realm has two Divine Monarchs guarding the gate. They can divine the past and the future, and can see into the hearts of people. Quite a few people with evil intentions have been killed outside the Great Gate. Exalted True, if you have a disciple like that, please do not let him pass, lest his life be in danger."
Lian Ji Shan looked at him and said, "I'm just a guest. You worry too much."
Inwardly, he laughed coldly. Others might not know about the two Yuan Zun cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but how could he not? Those two were the incarnations of the deceased's true Yang energy. If they really were that powerful, then wouldn't all of his fellow Daoists have long since been killed?
The Deacon Daoist didn't say anything else. He bowed again and left.
Not long after, the Sky Towering Palace slowly moved, and the two worlds closed.
Lian Jishan could sense that none of his disciples had been injured, nor could he sense anything out of the ordinary. He couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the lands below him. "So this is the Mountain and Sea Realm, huh?"
However, as he looked around, he was deeply shocked by the abundance of spiritual opportunity in this place.
He had spent some time in the twelve great heavens of the Yu Huan Heavens, but he had never encountered a place with such dense Spiritual Qi. Even the Qinghua Heavens could not compare to it.
If a cultivator were to cultivate here, they would be able to obtain many benefits.
He couldn't help but think, "If I can use this place …"
At this moment, the disciple said, "Martial Uncle, no one else has entered the realm after us. It seems like they've been stopped again."
Lian Jishan looked around, and sure enough, no one else had entered. He smiled playfully. Before coming here, everyone had used their magical devices to make divinations about the dangers of this place, and how the situation would develop. Every time they did, the result was that they would come out on top. Therefore, no matter what the Mountain and Sea Realm did, it didn't matter.
Under the guidance of the deacons, the Skyscraping Palace Platform landed on top of the Tianyue Peak. Then, the middle-aged Daoist brought a group of disciples to the encampment. After settling down, he dismissed his disciples and changed his spiritual will. In an instant, he escaped into the unknown.
Before long, a dashing Daoist with a lotus leaf headband appeared in front of him. The Daoist clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fang Luo."
Reverend Fang Luo returned the greeting, then laughed and said, "I've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen any of you. Now that you've come, I'm relieved."
Lian Jishan said, "There's no need to worry, Fellow Daoist Fang. When the time comes, there will be other ways to enter. Since you've come here first, I'm sure you've already investigated the situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Can you tell me clearly?"
Fang Luo chuckled and said, "In the past, I thought the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm was just making a mountain out of a molehill. Now that I see it, it makes sense."
Lian Jishan said, "Oh? Did you see something, Fellow Daoist? "
Fang Luo said, "Just Now that you're here, Fellow Daoist, you should be able to see that the Spiritual Qi here far surpasses the Earth and Universe Heavens."
Lian Jishan said, "That's right. The Spiritual Qi here is flourishing, and I've never seen it before."
Fang Luo said, "How can cultivators not be strong when they cultivate here? After a million years, the Earth and Universe Heavens will definitely be suppressed by them. "
Lian Jishan didn't take it to heart. No matter how strong the Spiritual Qi was, could it be stronger than the Kunshi Continent? If they felt that they couldn't compete with others, they could just move their sect to the Kunshi Continent. Besides, the cultivators of the Earth and Universe Heavens weren't dead. Would they not change after seeing such a change? If that was the case, then it was only natural that they would be overtaken.
He had only come because of the benefits that someone had promised him, and because he wanted to get his hands on some of the treasures of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Nothing else mattered to him.
Fang Luo saw that Lian Jishan's expression was indifferent, and knew that he wasn't interested in listening. Therefore, he didn't pursue the topic. "The most powerful sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm are the Qincang and the Shaoqing sects," he said. "I heard that they led the other sects to take over the Mountain and Sea Realm. That's especially true of the Qincang School, where Yuan Zun came from."
"Yuan Zun, huh?"
Lian Jishan's expression flickered. Although Yuan Zun would be dealt with by Yuan Zun, he didn't dare to be disrespectful. However, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. By participating in the Mountain and Sea Realm, didn't that mean that he had offended Yuan Zun? How could he possibly end up in a good situation? Furthermore, how could so many Fellow Daoists not have thought about this?
Just Now that thought popped up in his mind, and yet another indescribable thought rose up in his mind. Immediately, he cast his misgivings to the back of his mind.
His eyes flickered with killing intent. "In that case, all we have to do is seriously injure the disciples of those two sects, and we'll have accomplished our goal?"
Fang Luo nodded. "You could say that."
Lian Jishan asked, "Where are the disciples of those two sects right now?"
"They haven't shown themselves yet," Fang Luo replied, "which means they're making some sort of arrangement. However, the battle is about to begin, so they'll show up eventually. There's no need to worry about that. My arrangements are almost complete. Now it's up to you, Fellow Daoists."
Back in Heaven Peak, Jiang Mingtang was fighting with an opponent. Jiang Mingtang had spotted a flaw in his opponent's defense, and had unleashed his Core Qi. His opponent's last line of defense was broken, and Jiang Mingtang unleashed a beam of spiritual light that slammed into his opponent, knocking him out of the arena.
Seeing that he had defeated his opponent, he left the arena as well. However, after he landed on the ground, he couldn't help but sway a little. It was obvious that he had used up a lot of mana.
Different from the previous battles, the people he was fighting now were all outstanding disciples of various sects, and they didn't lack any instruments or medicinal pills. However, when the opponent had an instrument to protect them, it meant that he had to find a way to break through the gap in order to attack them. This made the battle exceptionally long. Even those who were experienced in battle might not have much of an advantage. As long as the difference in mana wasn't too big, most of them would end up in a battle of attrition.
Luckily, there were rules in the battle, and the medicinal pills they brought were limited. Therefore, it couldn't be dragged out for too long. Even so, it was still abnormally strenuous. Just Now, he had used up all of his opponent's medicinal pills before he found a chance to defeat him.
At this moment, the Sect Elder walked over and handed him a bright red medicinal pill the size of a pigeon egg. He took it and consumed it. He sat down to regulate his breathing for a while, and his spirit was restored.
The Sect Elder asked warmly, "How is it? Can we continue the battle today?"
Jiang Mingtang took a breath, and said, "It's fine. I can still fight another round."
Although it had only been two days since the start of the Battle Gathering, it was unusually intense. There were quite a number of sects that lost every round, and no longer had the right to continue. The Soaring Star Sect was slightly better, but that was all. There weren't many disciples in the sect who could show their faces. If they wanted to continue staying in the Battle Gathering, then they had to rely on him to hold the fort.
This wasn't the only reason he was here. Even if the Soaring Star Sect was really eliminated, it was impossible for them to leave this place. If he continued to win, then he could easily obtain the chance to talk to the disciples of the major sects. However, up until now, the Qincang Sect and the Shaoqing Sect had yet to arrive, so he naturally couldn't see anyone who wanted to interact with them.
In his memory, about ten days later, these two sects would appear Just Now. He thought to himself, "I just hope that nothing goes wrong."
Within the Heavenly Mountain Formation's pivot, Zhang Zhen received the request of the two sects, and spent two days to set up a ceremonial platform. She also placed an arcane tool that she brought from the sect on top of it. As she willed it, bolts of lightning flashed past, and amidst the rumbling sounds, the item slowly sank into the formation.
Wei Zihong asked, "Senior apprentice-uncle, how is it?"
Zhang Zhen said, "After I buried this arcane tool, my senses can increase by several folds. As long as there's any abnormal Qi activity appearing in the Heavenly Mountain Formation, I can immediately go and eliminate it. However, there are three wisps of Qi activity that escaped outside, and are not within the Heaven's Secrets. They should have been intentionally concealed by someone. "
Wei Zihong asked, "I wonder if senior apprentice-uncle can calculate whose Qi activity it is? “
Zhang Zhen pondered for a while, then shook her head lightly and said, "The formation has just been set up, and it's still hard to know. After a few days, we might be able to see a thing or two. However, once the other party realizes that the Qi activity is being chased away, they will definitely counterattack. Thus, Sect Leader Wei still needs to prepare for a backup plan, and not place all our hopes on this."
Wei Zihong couldn't help but nod. At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and with a point of his finger, a formation door opened in front of him. After a while, Shen Tong walked out from inside. He first bowed to the two, then said to Wei Zihong, "Just now, there was another Zhenren from the Yuhuan Heavens. However, after he passed through the Forbidden Light, his Qi activity was different. This person is most likely a Enlightenment Cultivator, but he concealed his cultivation base. However, the two Divine Monarchs didn't say anything."
Wei Zihong thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the sky, and said, "The two Divine Monarchs haven't responded for a long time, so they are either being held back, or something strange has happened. Otherwise, this person wouldn't have the guts to enter the realm. Looks like we can only rely on our own strength.
