Ran Xiushu looked at Taoist Lu and asked curiously, "Why do you insist on staying here? Now that the spiritual opportunity of all realms is flourishing and the desolation is gone, why can't you go?"
Taoist Lu was slightly startled and said thoughtfully, "Is that true?"
Previously, Ran Xiushu had said something similar to the gourd. At first, he thought that the gourd was being perfunctory. However, after arriving at the outer realm, he sensed the spiritual vigor in the surroundings and realized that the spiritual vigor in the outer realm seemed to be rising like this realm. It seemed that the gourd was telling the truth. However, he still insisted on his original intention. He bowed and said, "Although the spiritual opportunity of those realms is flourishing, it's still not as good as your land."
Qing Chenzi said, "I'll let you go for a hundred years."
Taoist Lu was very sensible and did not argue further. He said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Qing Chenzi took out a Jade Talisman and sent it to him. He said, "This is a token of our sect. I'll leave the matter of contacting our fellow disciples to you."
Taoist Lu quickly kept it and said, "I've already sent disciples to search for your people. It's just that the realm is rather far and will take some time. If everything goes well, there should be news in two or three months." He paused and said, "Do you want to know the whereabouts of the juniors of Rhinoceros Mountain?"
Hu Chu and the others also thought that they might lose, so before the battle, they sent their disciples to the outer realm so that they would not be wiped out by the orthodoxy after their deaths.
Qing Chenzi said, "That's not important."
He had no interest in the juniors of Rhinoceros Mountain. Others might worry about leaving behind a disaster, but the Shaoqing Sect was not afraid at all. They even hoped that these juniors could recover their strength as soon as possible so that they would have another opponent.
Taoist Lu saw that there was nothing more to say and left.
Cultivator Gu, who had been watching from the side Just Now, walked up and said carefully, "Fellow Daoists …"
Qing Chenzi looked at him and said, "What I've promised you before remains unchanged."
Cultivator Gu heaved a sigh of relief. He dared not say anything more and bowed before leaving in the conveyance light.
Ran Xiushu said, "Senior Brother, we've swept this place clean. Should we return to the sect?"
The spiritual energy in this Realm wasn't bad, but it was about the same as in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Now that all of his enemies had been wiped out, the place was empty, and there wasn't much to stay in. Presumably, he had left a clone behind to keep an eye on things.
Qing Chenzi came up with an idea and calculated a little. He said in a low voice, "We can't leave yet. With the death of the people of Rhinoceros Moon Mountain, the Qi dynamic of this realm has changed. Moreover, the Gate of Two Realms has always been connected to the outside world. I feel that there will be demons coming here in the next few days.
Ran Xiushu pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, the Gate of Two Realms might have been purposely opened by the Patriarch to train the younger generation. Hmm, the situation outside the realm is unclear. Why don't I go and investigate with Junior Brother Xun first? Senior Brother's identity is different, so there's no room for mistakes.
Qing Chenzi nodded in agreement. Even though he was also interested in what was on the other side of the border pass, he would never place his personal wishes above the interests of the sect.
Qing Chenzi nodded. Although he was interested in the other side of the Realm Pass, he would not put his personal interests above the interests of the sect. Two months later, Daoist Lu came back and found Qing Chenzi. After greeting him, he said, "I've found the original camp of your sect, but when I got there, they had already left." He took out an item. "I only found this."
Qing Chenzi took it. It was a sword sphere, but there was no spirituality on it, as if it had been refined Just Now. Usually, the sword spheres of Shaoqing disciples would contain some useful clues, but he did not see anything. He asked calmly, "What's the situation in the camp?"
Qing Chenzi took it. It was a sword pellet, but there was no spirituality on it. It seemed like it had just been refined not long ago. Usually, the sword pellets of Shaoqing disciples would contain some useful clues, but he did not see anything inside. His expression did not change as he asked, "What's the situation inside the encampment?"
Daoist Lu said, "That encampment doesn't seem to have been attacked. Fellow Daoist's fellow disciples didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave."
Qing Chenzi pondered for a moment before asking, "Fellow Daoist, did you send a disciple to make contact with my fellow disciples?"
Taoist Lu replied, "Yes."
Qing Chenzi said, "I understand. Continue searching."
Taoist Lu seemed to want to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, he didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and took his leave.
Qing Chenzi looked at the sword pellet. He had a feeling that these fellow disciples didn't seem to want to see them, so they had taken everything else away except for this one.
However, if he could strengthen the Shaoqing lineage by recruiting him, then what he thought was not important at all.
If he wanted them back, they had to come back.
In the silence, Towering Sky and Ren Du roused their magic power in an attempt to find the source of the Spiritual Opportunity. After a long period of hard work, the two of them were gradually approaching the source.
But at this point, they couldn't go any further no matter what.
Because in their senses, the source was definitely in front of them, but the Spiritual Opportunity was everywhere at the same time. If they persisted in following it, they might accidentally go somewhere else.
In this way, they would have to spend a lot of effort to squeeze in again from the outside, so they could only maintain a situation where they couldn't advance nor retreat.
Daoist Ren Du said, "Fellow Daoist, we can't go there. It seems that what fellow Daoist Ji Zhuang asked us to do can't be done."
Daoist Towering Sky tried to explore the depths of the magic power, and he could vaguely feel someone standing there. The Spiritual Opportunity didn't feel like a cultivator of the same path, but more like a Connate Cardinal Treasure, but it was also somewhat plausible.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since we can't go forward, let's do it here. Collect as much as we can. If fellow Daoist Ji Zhuang isn't satisfied, then we can ask him to send someone else here."
Daoist Ren Du nodded. With a thought, a green-skinned gourd appeared in his hand. He then threw it out and let it float in the air. The magic power that was fighting against them writhed for a while, and then a wisp of white gas was extracted from it and slowly absorbed into the gourd.
Daoist Ji Zhuang did not ask them to come here just to stop this person. Instead, he had instructed them that if they could not get close to the person, then they should use this treasure to absorb his Dharmic power and Qi activity. When they brought it back, they could calculate it and see if they could find a way to break it.
Daoist Ren Du looked at the bottom of the gourd. After absorbing the white gas, the bottom of the gourd gradually turned from green to light gold. At the moment, it seemed to be a shallow layer, and it would obviously take a long time to fill it up. He thought for a moment and said, "That Ji Zhuang wants us to lock up our Spiritual Opportunity. Are you really willing to do that?"
Daoist Towering Sky smiled indifferently and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry about it. As long as that Daoist Zhang didn't agree, then Ji Zhuang can't do it alone. Besides, how long can he hold the position of mirror master?"
It wasn't hard for Daoist Ren Du to understand what he meant. Including them, all the Spirit Refinement cultivators in the mirror lake came from outside. Their goal was to find a place to hide. No one really believed in Ji Zhuang. They were only under his control because he was the master of the mirror lake.
Yao Han Ancestor, who invited them here, was a scheming person. Although he didn't make any clear moves, it was clear that Ji Zhuang was a bit afraid of him. Who knew when a conflict would break out between the two.
After a long time, the gourd finally turned completely golden. Daoist Ren Du thought for a moment and put it back into his divine will. He said, "Fellow Daoist, this matter is over. We can go back now."
Daoist Towering Sky said, "Hold on. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't we search around and see if we can find a place of fortune? If we find it, then I will refine it and become the master of this place. Then I won't have to worry about Ji Zhuang anymore.
Daoist Ren Du sighed. "Fellow Daoist's idea isn't bad, but this kind of place is really hard to find."
It wasn't that they didn't try to find a place of fortune before, but they couldn't even find a fragment of fortune, let alone this kind of place.
Daoist Towering Sky was about to persuade him again, but suddenly, his expression changed. He felt a boundless malice pressing down on him. How could he not know that he was targeted by that existence?
Although he had already split his Divine Origin into three parts, it was still easy for him to deal with them. Luckily, when the two of them came out, they were already prepared for this. Right now, this body was only a clone, so there was no harm in giving it up.
Daoist Skysoar sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, this person had come too quickly, and his original plan had failed. Fortunately, he would have another chance in the future. Since he knew that resisting this person would be useless, he didn't resist at all and allowed the pressure to pour down on him. In an instant, he fell into darkness.
At the same time, within the mirror lake, Towering Sky and Daoist Ren Du's bodies trembled slightly. Then, they opened their eyes and woke up from their meditation. With a thought, they appeared on a high platform.
Jizhuang Daoren sat on the seat of honor. When he saw the two of them, he said in a friendly manner, "How did the two of you go on this trip?"
Daoist Ren Du stretched out his hand and took out the gourd from his Divine Will. Then, he sent it up and said, "The person who gave us the opportunity was very powerful. We only went with our clones, but it was difficult for us to get close. We even encountered that existence on the way, so we could only give up our lives and return. However, we managed to retrieve the opportunity, so we didn't fail our mission."
Jizhuang Daoren glanced at the gourd floating in front of him and smiled amiably. "Thank you for your trouble."
Daoist Ren Du said, "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
Jizhuang Daoren nodded.
Towering Sky and Daoist Ren Du bowed, then their figures faded away.
Jizhuang Daoren took the gourd and gently inhaled. Wisps of white gas flowed into his body. In the silence, an eye appeared on the smooth surface of the mirror lake. It turned for a moment, then quickly returned to its original appearance.
