The three Daoists were Heavenly Lord He Xianyin of the Profound Flood Heavens, the Sect Leader of the Tanbo Sect, Daoist Tongguang, and the Sect Leader of the Milky Pool Sect, Guo Juying.
Although these three were not cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, they were all from the same bloodline as the Dark Azure Sect. Therefore, they had been invited to the Mountain and Sea Realm to observe the Dharma. However, for some reason, the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm had intentionally concealed their whereabouts.
Lian Jishan and the people behind him knew that these three sects had some connection to the Qincang School, and had been keeping an eye on them. However, they hadn't made any moves, and had gradually let their guard down.
"Fellow Daoist Lian," Guo Juying said, "if you're not in a hurry to make a move, why don't you come out and have a chat?"
Lian Jishan thought for a moment, then sent a Shadow Clone out from the Heaven-Scraping Palace. "Sect Leader Guo, what do you want to say?"
"Fellow Daoist Lian," Guo Juying said, "I don't care what you've been planning. Now that you've been exposed, you might as well give up. After the competition is over, we can ask the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm to give you some face and let you go."
Lian Jishan chuckled coldly. "It seems the three of you are determined to take me down. However, do you really think that I'm the only one involved in this matter?" He looked at the three of them. "I advise the three of you to leave as soon as possible. I'll pretend I never saw you. Once the matter of the Mountain and Sea Realm is over, I'm afraid that your sects will be implicated."
He Xianyin said coolly, "You're overthinking things, sir. Even if the three of us weren't here, you wouldn't be able to do anything to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Lian Jishan seemed to have thought of something. In that instant, his mind cleared up a little.
Considering that the sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm had made ample preparations, it wouldn't be a good idea to fight them. Besides, he had worked so hard just to kill a few disciples of the Junior generation. Not only was it not worth it, it was laughable.
Moreover, even if he were to let go now, he could say that he was no match for the three of them when he saw his fellow Daoists again. In this way, no one would be able to say anything.
However, just as he understood all this and was about to stop, another distracting thought suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, immediately washing away all these clear thoughts. A ruthless expression once again appeared on his face. He immediately contacted Luo Chu with his Divine Will, ready to make a move immediately. However, when his Divine Will landed, there was no response.
His expression changed. In such a situation, either the Divine Will was disturbed by someone with a higher cultivation base, or he and Fang Luo were no longer in the same world.
He tried to look around again, and only then did he feel that the aura here was somewhat familiar. He said, "This is the Turbid Azure Sky?"
Guo Juying said, "That's right, but this is another Turbid Heaven Clear Sky, and not where Tianyue is."
Lian Jishan had assumed that the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm would use the restrictive spells of Tianyue to trap him, but he had never imagined that they would actually teleport him to another part of the Turbid Heaven Clear Sky. Face grim, he said, "How did you manage to teleport me here?"
If the Mountain and Sea Realm had some sort of teleportation technique that could directly teleport him to the Outer Realm, then that would be a bit troublesome. Even if he defeated the three of them, he would still end up in the same situation.
"This was done by Fellow Daoists of the Mountain and Sea Realm," said Daoist Tongguang. "We don't know why."
The truth was that there were certain techniques that could be used to travel between the Turbid Heaven Clear Sky. This particular part of the Turbid Heaven Clear Sky had long since been teleported to a half-world by the various sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm, in order to deal with dangerous situations.
Lian Jishan sneered. "Even if you can trap me here, there are still a few other Fellow Daoists in the Mountain and Sea Realm. How are you going to deal with them?"
In his opinion, even if he couldn't use his Divine Will to communicate with Fang Luo, Fang Luo would still try to contact him. When that person realized that he couldn't respond, it wouldn't be difficult to guess that something had happened to him. Furthermore, all of the Enlightenment Crossing cultivators that the Mountain and Sea Realm could invite were already here. How could the Mountain and Sea Realm possibly deal with Fang Luo and the others?
"This matter has nothing to do with us," He Xianyin said coolly. "All we care about is capturing you, Fellow Daoist."
"Fellow Daoist," said Daoist Tongguang, "if you're willing to back out now, you can put an end to this dispute."
Lian Jishan didn't even spare them a glance. He looked back and forth between the three of them, then said, "Since you're so confident, why don't you give it a try?"
With that, his clone faded away, and his consciousness returned to his true body.
The Heaven-Scraping Palace Tower he was sitting on was roughly equivalent to a sect's grand spell formation, and could be used both offensively and defensively. Furthermore, under his control, it could pierce through the void, which was why he had dared to venture into the Realm of the Underworld alone. Now that he wasn't in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he had even fewer misgivings. If the situation turned dire, he could simply find an opportunity to fly away.
When Guo Juying saw the flickering restrictive spells on the Heaven-Scraping Palace Tower, he turned to He Xianyin and said, "Heavenly Lord He, since he refuses to come to his senses, there's no need for us to be polite with him."
He Xianyin didn't say anything further. Instead, he produced a small seal from his sleeve, which he tossed up into the air.
The various sects and clans of the Mountain and Sea Realm had long since set up this area, and naturally, there was no lack of restrictive spells. Otherwise, Lian Jishan wouldn't have been sent here. As soon as the spell formation began to rotate, boundless restrictive power bore down on the Heaven-Scraping Palace Tower, causing the restrictive spells to clash against each other. It was impossible to tell which side had the upper hand.
However, the Turbid Heaven Clear Sky was being supported by an endless stream of spiritual energy. The Heaven-Scraping Palace Tower was different, and could only be sustained by Lian Jishan's own magical power. Therefore, if they continued to fight, the Heaven-Scraping Palace Tower would definitely be at a disadvantage.
An unsightly expression appeared on Lian Jishan's face. He had never imagined that the Turbid Heaven Clear Sky would be protected by such a powerful restrictive spell formation. Now, his magical power was being rapidly depleted. As an Enlightenment Enlightenment cultivator, he had plenty of magical power, but if things went on like this, he would eventually run out.
Now that he realized that he had no chance of winning, he decided to break through the barrier and escape. Then he would find an opportunity to return. However, the restrictive spells continued to batter him, and with the three of them watching him closely, his chances of success were minuscule. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was try to hold on. Once his fellow Daoists from beyond the Heavens reached the Mountain and Sea Realm, he would have a chance.
Back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Fang Luo stood on the Magic Altar, watching the battles of the disciples. However, he was different from Lian Jishan. He wasn't interested in the battles of the lower echelons, but rather, he was keeping an eye on the Yuanying level elites from the great sects and clans. Those people were the best among their generation, and it was entirely possible that they would become Heavenly Envoys of the various sects.
Considering the techniques of the Mountain and Sea Realm, as well as the abundance of spiritual energy, the likelihood of that happening was very high.
Therefore, he decided that if he could get rid of all of these disciples, then it would be a huge blow to the vitality of the various sects and clans.
He wasn't sure where this obsession had come from, or why it was so strong. However, he had the feeling that it was something he had to do.
After watching another battle, he suddenly felt a sense of unease. He tried to connect with Lian Jishan using his divine will, but found nothing, as if Lian Jishan had already left the Heaven Realm.
"What's going on here?"
He asked, summoning one of the quick-witted disciples. "Remember, just take a look," he said. "There's no need to be too anxious, and no need to ask any questions."
A moment later, the disciple returned and said, "Disciple has taken a look. Lian Jishan and his disciples are all there, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. The Heavenly Towering Palace Platform is still in place."
Fang Luo nodded and said, "Alright, you may leave."
After dismissing the disciple, his heart was in turmoil. Even the Divine Will of Mount Ji couldn't be connected, so his true body was definitely not here. However, it was impossible for his true body to leave the Skyscraping Palace behind, so something must have happened to him.
But if something really did happen to Lian Jishan, then what should he do? Or continue with his original plan?
If the people of the Mountain and Sea Realm could subdue a cultivator with a similar level of Dao as himself, then it was entirely possible that they could do the same to him. In that case, continuing with his original plan wouldn't be a good idea.
Even as he was considering the matter, a disciple came in to report, "There's a Mountain and Sea Realm Grand Sage looking for you, Master."
Fang Luo's thoughts raced, then he chuckled and said, "If a Fellow Daoist is here, how could I refuse him? Hurry up and invite him in."
Not long after, Shen Dong came to the altar and bowed to Fang Luo. He told Fang Luo his name and said, "There are a few Shangzhen in Tianyue who have heard of Zhenren Fang Luo's Dao skills, so they would like to invite you over to discuss Dao skills. I wonder if you have time?"
Fang Luo laughed and waved his hands. "Don't tease me, don't tease me. I've been studying the Daoist magic of the various sects for the past few days, and it's all profound and profound. With my meager Dao, how could I possibly dare to embarrass myself in front of fellow Daoists? Forget it."
Shen Dong didn't force the issue. "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you."
Fang Luo said, "Not at all, not at all. Please don't take offense, Fellow Daoists."
After Shen Dong left, Fang Luo's face darkened. He knew without a doubt that he had been targeted.
However, there was one thing he didn't understand. Why didn't they deal with him the way they had dealt with Lian Jishan?
Having reached this point in his train of thought, his heart suddenly thumped as he thought of a possibility.
Although the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't have a cultivator of Enlightenment Crossing, there were still a few who had severed their past and future bodies. Furthermore, their magical power was clearly higher than that of their peers. If they joined forces, and used their restrictive spell formations and magical treasures, they would be able to fight against cultivators of Enlightenment Crossing.
Perhaps it was because this person was currently busy dealing with Lian Jishan, and therefore didn't have the power to deal with Fang Luo. Perhaps they were afraid that Fang Luo would make a move, and therefore had intentionally come to him in order to strike fear into his heart and prevent him from acting rashly.
Although Fang Luo felt that it was very likely that this was the truth, a guess was just a guess. Perhaps the truth was the exact opposite.
However, sitting there and not doing anything would be too passive. After pondering the matter for a long time, he finally came up with a plan.
In addition to him, there were two other fellow Daoists who had snuck into the Mountain and Sea Realm. He could let them make a move first, and then use them to probe the Mountain and Sea Realm's current strength. If the two of them could be easily suppressed, then he would have to figure a way to leave. If he couldn't, then the sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm were only putting up a strong front. In that case, there would be no need for him to have any misgivings, and he could join his two fellow Daoists in toppling the Heavenly Mountains!
