Outside the Mountains, Seas, and Land, there was a Heavenly Ship floating in the air. It was the Victorious Heavenly Ship that Zhang Yan had refined using the Unfettered Wood. It could travel through the universe and land without a trace.
However, he no longer had any use for it after attaining the Spirit Refinement Realm, so he left it in the Mountain and Sea Realm and entrusted it to the sect's envoy. However, because of its cultivation, no one could use it. Those who could use it had to at least sever their past and future bodies. Therefore, the Qincang School simply used it as a place for secret meetings. If there was anything important that needed to be discussed, they could come here. This was equivalent to jumping out of karma. Even the True Yang Yuan Zun would not be able to detect it.
At that moment, the sound of huge waves suddenly came from the Heavenly Ship. A clear light flashed, and Meng Zhide appeared on the platform in the middle of the ship. He only stood there for a moment before he saw millions of specks of starlight sprinkling down in front of him. Then, they gathered into a human figure. It was the Shaoqing Elder Ying Chunqiu.
Meng Zhide bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ying, greetings.
Ying Chunqiu returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, greetings."
After the greeting, the two of them sat down cross-legged on the jade seats of the Heavenly Ship.
Meng Zhide said, "Fellow Daoist Ying, you must already know that there are cultivators from beyond the heavens coming to harm the Mountain and Sea Sects during the magical competition."
Ying Chunqiu said, "I was aware of it before. I was planning to divine it, but I found out that this person has long since mixed up the heavenly secrets. It seems like he is plotting something big. What does the Du Zhen Hall Master have to say about this?"
Meng Zhide said, "The Du Zhen Hall Master has not said a word."
Ying Chunqiu thought about it. Zhang Yan was a Spirit Refinement Almighty. Since he did not mention this matter, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. This was not something he could speculate about at the moment.
Meng Zhide said, "There are many people of the same generation coming, and there is no lack of Du Jue cultivators among them. Therefore, we have to make an appearance."
Ying Chunqiu nodded.
If it was an ordinary matter, there was no need for them to show up. However, there were many people with high cultivation and magic power in the Yu Huan All-Heavens, and it was unknown how many people would come this time. As the elders with the highest cultivation, they naturally could not sit idly by.
Meng Zhide said, "The two Divine Monarchs, Bo Bai and Bo Xuan, are currently blocked by their magic power and can't communicate with me. It's already difficult to rely on them. This crisis can only be overcome by the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Ying Chunqiu asked, "How will your sect deal with this?"
Meng Zhen said, "If we start fighting in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the losses will be too great. Therefore, it's best to keep the enemy outside the Realm Gate."
Ying Chunqiu said, "Indeed."
Even if Tianyue was placed in the Turbid Azure Sky, it was hard to guarantee that this place wouldn't collapse if many Mortal Metamorphosis Zhenren started to fight. Although this place was an independent world, it was also entrusted to the Mountain, Sea, and Land. If the Land was shaken, this great situation would definitely be damaged.
Now that the two realms were closed, although it was much stricter than before, it wasn't very useful. When faced with people with ulterior motives, even closing the Heaven and Earth Gate would be useless.
If the enemy could be stopped so easily, then this invasion would be too much of a trifling matter. The enemy would definitely have a way to break into the Realm in the blink of an eye, and wouldn't be delayed for dozens of years.
Therefore, it would be better to move the battlefield outside the Mountain and Sea Realm.
If the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't have the Prime Exalted Zhang Yan, then it would be difficult for the Mountain and Sea Realm to fight against the Yu Huan All-Heavens. However, the people who came this time were only a small portion of the Yu Huan All-Heavens, and they could still deal with them. After all, the sects of the Nine Continents had improved greatly, and were no longer the same as they had been when they faced Kong Yin.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. The Qincang and Shaoqing Sects finally arrived on Tianyue. However, the disciples of the two sects sat quietly in their encampments, and did not participate in the fighting.
The disciples of the other sects didn't find it strange. After all, everyone knew that the Legacy Disciples of the two sects were far more powerful than those of the same generation. If they joined the fray, the disciples of the other sects would have a hard time standing up to them.
Currently, in the Shaoqing Sect's encampment, Ran Xiushu was sitting on a dais. With a serious expression, he said, "XueYan, you are the most outstanding disciple of my bloodline. In this battle of magic, you absolutely must do well for me. I'm counting on you to make me proud."
Below the dais stood a beautiful young woman. Her hair was combed into two rings, and she wore a jade necklace ornament. She wore a black gauze gown, which was covered by a silk cape with thousands of knotted pearls. Her wide sleeves were decorated with dark-colored silk, and she wore a skirt with hundreds of ribbons. She listened attentively to Ran Xiushu's words, and then solemnly voiced her assent.
Ran Xiushu nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. You are the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation. The Extreme Sword Bloodline will be relying on you to carry it to greater heights."
The young woman fell silent for a moment before saying, "Although I'm cultivating under the Extreme Sword Masters, I'm learning the Killing Sword."
Ran Xiushu made a sound of acknowledgment. Then, he waved his sleeve and said, "So be it. Compared to victory or defeat, this is just a small matter. If you win, don't forget to announce that you're my disciple."
At the side, You Ning couldn't help but say, "Master, XueYan is my disciple."
Ran Xiushu said indifferently, "It's the same, it's the same."
You Ning mumbled, "How can it be the same?"
Ran Xiushu waved his sleeve and said, "Alright, I'm done. You can leave now."
You Ning had no choice but to bow and leave with her disciple, Yue XueYan.
Yue XueYan saw her master's gloomy expression, so she comforted her, "Master, Grandmaster is Just Reprimanding you now not because he's dissatisfied with you, nor is he going to teach me personally. He's just showing off his dignity as a master. Master, don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, You Ning's eyes widened. "Really?" She seemed to heave a sigh of relief. "Then I can be at ease. Disciple, you don't know that your grandmaster's cultivation is high, but the disciples he taught are all mediocre."
Yue XueYan silently glanced at her master and didn't say anything else.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Mingtang stood in front of the palace gate of the Shaoqing Sect's base.
After finding out that the Shaoqing Sect had arrived, he had been wanting to find his way here. However, he had been fighting on behalf of his sect. Today, he used fatigue as an excuse, and Just Now, he was able to find time to come here.
This was the only place among the various sects' bases that didn't have any restrictions or defenses set up. There weren't even any guards. This was because the disciples of the Shaoqing Sect were never afraid of enemies invading. If you're here, then feel free to come. I can't ask for more.
He walked through the gate and arrived at the front of the palace. He glanced around, and just as he was about to walk further in, he heard a voice nearby. "Fellow Daoist, who are you looking for? Perhaps I can help you."
Jiang Mingtang stopped in his tracks in shock. He turned around, and only then did he discover a young cultivator who was as gentle as jade standing just a few steps away. He was dressed in a button-down robe and a cloak with purple clouds and stars on the outside. His figure could be said to be handsome and tall. Jiang Mingtang thought for a moment. Actually, he had seen the other party Just Now, but for some reason, he just happened to ignore him. Only when the other party spoke did he come back to his senses. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't see Fellow Daoist here. Please forgive me."
The young cultivator smiled warmly and said, "It's fine."
He knew that even though his appearance was not bad, for some reason, he always gave others a feeling of mediocrity. In addition, the Sword Transformation Art that he cultivated was inclined towards concealment and transformation. Therefore, it was extremely easy for others to overlook him just by standing there. He had long been used to this.
At this moment, Jiang Mingtang said, "I'm Jiang Mingtang from the High Star Sect. This time, I've come to your station because I heard that there's a Fellow Daoist called Li Hanxiao here with extraordinary sword skills. Therefore, I've come here to spar with him."
From the memories in the dream, this time, the Shaoqing Sect had sent out many outstanding people. Among them, Yue Xueyan and Li Hanxiao were the most outstanding, and both of them had extraordinary achievements in the future. These two people could be approached in the name of a challenge. However, Yue Xueyan had never shown mercy when fighting with disciples from outside the sect. If he lost, it was very likely that he would be killed on the spot. This was not asking for help, but seeking death. As for Li Hanxiao, he could be said to be a good person. Even when he sparred with people from outside the sect, he rarely killed them. Compared to him, this person was easier to deal with.
The young cultivator looked at him and cupped his hands. "So Fellow Daoist Jiang has specially come to look for me. Forgive me for my rudeness."
Jiang Mingtang was stunned. He said in shock, "You … Fellow Daoist is Li Hanxiao?"
Li Hanxiao smiled. "If Fellow Daoist is looking for Li Hanxiao of the Shaoqing Sect and not someone else with the same name, then it's me."
Jiang Mingtang took a deep breath with great effort. His expression became solemn. He said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing to spar with me?"
Li Hanxiao's expression also became solemn. He said, "I'm a disciple of the Shaoqing Sect. I never refuse a challenge from my peers." He took a step to the side and raised his hand. "Fellow Daoist, please."
Jiang Mingtang cupped his hands and followed him to the arena of the Shaoqing Sect's station. He knew that there was no need for him to be courteous with a Shaoqing cultivator. So, when he arrived here, he made the first move after saying "sorry". His Pill Baleful Qi surged and pressed towards the other party. However, a sword-light flashed and tore the Pill Baleful Qi apart. Then, his vision blurred, and he saw dozens of sword-lights shooting towards him.
He could not help but feel shocked. At the same time, he felt that his protective magic treasure was trembling endlessly. His magic power also seemed to be colliding with the other party, unable to gather at a single point. In less than a breath's time, the magic treasure wailed. Its spiritual light dimmed, and it fell to the ground. Then, the dozens of rainbow lights gathered, and a hazy white sword-light landed before the tip of his nose.
He could not help but be stunned. Even though he knew that he would definitely lose to the other party, he did not expect the difference between them to be so great. He felt rather dejected and sighed. "I've lost."
Li Hanxiao looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no need to be discouraged. It's not like I've never competed with fellow Daoists outside of the sect. These fellow Daoists are usually unable to withstand a single strike of my sword, yet you need me to use the Light Splitting Sword to attack you. Compared to others, you're already not bad."
Jiang Mingtang smiled bitterly. This Fellow Daoist Li spoke honestly. He cupped his hands and said, "I have some doubts. May I ask you a few questions?"
Li Hanxiao looked at him and said, "I know that you're not here for a battle."
Jiang Mingtang was shocked. "You can tell, Fellow Daoist Li?"
Li Hanxiao summoned the sword pellet back and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Fellow Daoist, follow me." When he finished, he turned around and walked toward a pavilion not far away.
