As Yao Canbei's cultivation continued to improve, his sense of the beckoning force also became stronger. However, his cultivation was still a little short of perfection, so it was still difficult for him to proceed.
However, it was no longer as easy as before for him to illuminate more cultivators.
After entering the Mortal Metamorphosis level, the effect of illuminating lower generation cultivators was negligible. Only illuminating those of the same generation was useful.
Mortal Metamorphosis cultivators were mostly the pillars of the sects. Their every move was watched by countless people, and they were not as easy to deal with as those cultivators from before. In addition, those who cultivated to this level all had a firm Dao heart, and external methods could not easily shake them.
Not only that, he had now encountered a problem.
Due to the dozens of sects successively falling into conflict, and the scope was still expanding, this matter had finally aroused the vigilance of the surrounding sects. Many of them were sects with deep backgrounds, so if his actions were slightly inappropriate, he would probably be exposed in front of others.
Because of this, he called He Yifang over again and said, "Recently, there have been more and more people coming to investigate. If this continues, it will be disadvantageous to me. I wonder if fellow daoist can think of a way to resolve this?"
He Yifang pondered for a moment and said, "Then has fellow daoist ever thought of temporarily delaying this?"
Yao Canbei repeatedly waved his hand and said with a resolute expression, "I'm afraid that won't work. Before I succeed, I will definitely not stop."
He Yifang pondered and said nothing.
Yao Canbei looked at him and said in a slightly low voice, "If there is no other choice, it seems that I can only abandon these fellow daoists."
Hearing this, He Yifang raised his head and looked at him, saying, "What does fellow daoist want to do?"
Yao Canbei said, "As long as these dozens of sects launch an attack and attract everyone's attention, this can temporarily conceal our existence."
He Yifang frowned, "This method can only delay for a while."
Yao Canbei said indifferently, "Fellow daoist knows that I only need this little time."
He Yifang thought for a moment and said with a solemn expression, "I think fellow daoist doesn't need to do this. I will try to help fellow daoist conceal some more. It's hard to say more, but like what I said before, another year and a half is still possible."
According to what Yao Canbei had said last time, he would have to leave this place sooner or later. Then, everything that remained would be taken over by him. Of course, he didn't want to use up all of these fellow Daoists that he had painstakingly recruited into the Daoist Law. If he could integrate them, he would be able to open up an even larger world in the future.
Yao Canbei revealed a hint of hesitation. Actually, he did not care about these cultivators. As long as he could obtain his own opportunities, it would be fine.
However, these people were not puppets that could be manipulated at will. They also had their own thoughts. Right now, they were standing together with him only because they cultivated the same Dao and there was no conflict between them.
If the order he gave was unreasonable, then he might not really listen to him.
He asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you really confident?"
He Yifang said with certainty, "I am." Then, he added, "If I can't conceal it, fellow daoist can act according to your heart."
Judging from Elder Yuan's attitude, there was no longer any suspense about the position of Chief Protector. After another year, he would be able to sit on this position rightfully. If he could drag it until then, not to mention other things, he could at least suppress the voices within the Yan Sect. As for the other sects, it looked like they were keeping a very close eye on things right now. However, he was very clear that as long as it did not involve his own personal interests, why would this person easily stand up for others?
Yao Canbei looked at him for a moment and said, "Alright, then I will trust fellow daoist this once."
He Yifang returned to the sect and immediately summoned his disciples over. He passed down many instructions. Under his series of arrangements, the disturbance temporarily calmed down.
Another half a year passed by very quickly. It was getting closer and closer to the time when the positions of Altar Master and Chief Protector would change. At this time, under Elder Yuan's deliberate arrangements, many matters that originally belonged to the Chief Protector had been handed over to him.
He originally thought that he could smoothly hold on until he sat on the position of Chief Protector. However, he still overestimated himself. Because no matter how close he was to that position, he had not actually sat on it yet.
Duan Cheng stood in the main hall of the Protector, frowning as he read the report sent by his disciples.
The chaotic situation between the dozens of sects in recent days made him feel that something was wrong.
Originally, the fights between the various sects had nothing to do with the Yan Sect. However, news came from the main altar that it was very likely that the Spirit of Creation had not left the Kun Shi Continent. If this matter was caused by this person, then the consequences would be unthinkable.
This matter was originally handed over to He Yifang to handle, but there was no result even after so long. This made him very dissatisfied. When he investigated again, he found that there were many contradictions here.
He pondered for a while. Even if this was a matter that Elder Yuan had instructed, it might involve the Spirit of Creation and the branch altar's safety. He didn't dare to neglect it. He knew that He Yifang had already returned to the branch altar at this time, so he sent a disciple to invite him to give him an explanation.
When He Yifang received the letter, he immediately knew that the matter would not be good. He thought for a while, then took out a talisman from his sleeve. In a flash, a light rose, and Yao Canbei's figure appeared there.
Seeing his serious expression, Yao Canbei asked, "Has there been a change in the situation?"
He Yifang said with a serious expression, "My branch altar's Chief Protector Duan Cheng has very likely sensed your traces.
Yao Canbei's gaze became dangerous, "Are you unable to conceal it?"
He Yifang shook his head and said, "This person has always been swift and decisive in his actions. Moreover, once he has decided on something, he will never change his mind. Right now, he is calling me over for questioning only to give face to Elder Yuan who assigned me to handle this matter. Later, if there is even the slightest flaw in my words, he won't give me any chance to explain at all. I'm afraid that he will immediately take action."
Yao Canbei said, "Then what does Fellow Daoist want to do?"
He Yifang's gaze was calm as he said, "Since we still lack some resources, then what about Duan Cheng?"
Yao Canbei smiled faintly and shook his head, "This person is able to become your branch altar's Chief Protector, his will and Dao are extraordinary. My Dao might not be able to do anything to him." You also need to look at the target to illuminate. Those with mental flaws are just the easiest to deal with Just Now. "
He Yifang seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "But he will come to find you."
Yao Canbei chuckled a few times, and then the aura shook a little before disappearing.
He Yifang frowned and stood where he was. He really didn't know what Yao Canbei's final words meant. Could it be that something happened during the time he was away?
His heart skipped a beat, or …
He didn't continue thinking about it. He rubbed the space between his brows and turned to go outside, preparing to meet Duan Cheng first so that he could deal with this hurdle.
At this moment, a disciple hurried over and bowed when he saw him. He said, "Protector, Protector Duan has been waiting for you for a long time, and seems to be quite angry. Just Now, he has already left."
He Yifang was startled, then his gaze flickered a few times. Without a doubt, this person reacted very quickly. Seeing that He Yifang didn't come, he sensed that something was wrong and immediately prepared to act.
The reason why He Yifang didn't do anything to him was probably because he didn't have any concrete evidence in his hands, and he was wary of Elder Yuan, so he didn't want to make too much of a ruckus in the branch altar.
He Yifang thought about it and relaxed instead. The biggest mistake that Duan Cheng made was to think that he could solve this matter. Little did he know, compared to a few years ago, Yao Canbei was already very different. Moreover, another half a year had passed. At this moment, even he didn't know to what extent Yao Canbei's cultivation had advanced.
Half a day later, there was an earth-shattering noise coming from the west.
Elder Yuan's expression was solemn. It wasn't difficult for him to sense that Duan Cheng was fighting with someone, and the opponent's strength was definitely not weak. He wanted to go and help, but the branch altar had its own rules. If there was an enemy, between the Branch Master and the Chief Protector, one must stay in the branch altar and not leave at the same time. Otherwise, if there was no one to guard the array, not to mention the enemy, even a fierce monster could cause great damage to the branch altar.
What caused him to be even more infuriated was that Duan Cheng utterly didn't notify him before he left, causing him to not even know who his enemy was. In his helplessness, he could only draft a few letters and send them to the headquarters and the sects he was on good terms with, hoping that help would arrive in time.
However, after only an hour, Duan Cheng began to retreat and his Qi movement became weak.
Elder Yuan knew that this was caused by Duan Cheng's continuous retreat. Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, the result would be obvious.
However, even as his anxiety mounted, the worst case scenario did not occur. For some unknown reason, the enemy's Qi movement suddenly disappeared.
Back in the Ingenious Space World, Bai Wei's spirits were lifted. Just Now, he could sense that the Weili was becoming strangely active. However, even with his magical power, it was difficult to determine the source of that power. All he could tell was that it was definitely from an almighty Upper Realm expert.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it, he would have gone in to take a look himself. Sighing, he ordered two of his disciples to come over and sit down. "Now that the opportunity has arrived," he said. "You can go there now. Remember, if you can fight, then fight. If you can't, then remember to stop."
The two disciples respectfully complied, and then left.
Bai Wei could sense that as soon as they left the temple, the Qi movement had disappeared, and knew that they had already gone to the other side of the mountain. After a moment's examination, he discovered that Deng Zhang and the six Devil Masters had also sent their disciples into the other side of the mountain. After a moment of thought, he said, "It doesn't matter if my disciples can't get their hands on the Profound Stones. As long as they don't fall into the hands of the Dao Realm."
Mountain and Sea Realm. Nameless Island Peak.
Hong You slowly rose to his feet. In front of him, a tiny speck of light suddenly appeared, as dazzling and intense as the Heavenly Sun.
The wheel of light slowly grew larger, and as it spun, it grew larger, causing the wind to howl and the sea to churn.
His pupils constricted slightly.
He could sense that, Just Now, if that power exploded out, the entire Mountain and Sea Realm would collapse.
However, a moment later, before the power could even spill out, it was easily swallowed up by another power of some unknown origin. It didn't even cause any damage to anything in the area. It was at this point that the result he had been waiting for happened. A hole appeared in the middle of the wheel of light, as if there was nothing inside of it.
When he saw that, his eyes shone brightly, and without any hesitation, he flicked his sleeve and disappeared into the hole.
