Hearing Lin Feng's special reminder, Luo Qingwu couldn't help but look curious. "What is it? Please tell me, Master."
Lin Feng's gaze then turned to Yang Qing. "It's about your Fifth Senior Brother's disciple, Zhou Yuncong."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qing, Luo Qingwu, and the others were slightly stunned at first, and then revealed thoughtful expressions.
Although everyone, including Yang Qing, was a little surprised, they all knew that their Master would not speak without thinking.
Zhu Yi and Wang Lin's eyes revealed some understanding. They looked at each other, and Zhu Yi Slowly said, "We have to start from the matter of Golden Cicada kidnapping people back then, but it has nothing to do with Golden Cicada."
Wang Lin nodded. "It's about the matter behind it, which originated from Cloud Cong himself."
Hearing this, the others also reacted. Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, hands on his knees, and said with a frown, "Although the whereabouts of the Future Star Glazed Buddha Lord and Golden Cicada are uncertain, the matter back then has already been settled for them. Even if they capture Cloud Cong again, it will be difficult to gain anything, not to mention that the Future Buddha himself has already been born."
"But if Taixu Temple also wants to enter the Spiritual Sea, how many people can they spare to make things difficult for our sect?"
The Dao-changing Talismans in Zhu Yi's eyes kept flashing, while Wang Lin's eyes seemed to have become two mirrors, reflecting a mysterious and strange light.
"Although I can't see it clearly, I feel that it's not necessarily a forcible kidnapping, but some other plan …" Zhu Yi said in a low voice. Wang Lin's gaze turned slightly cold. "The Supreme Yin Yang Mirror was, after all, a treasure of Taixu Temple in the past. Even if they don't have any special means, they should have some information that we don't know."
Li Yuanfang asked calmly, "Master, did Mr. Miao say anything about the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Shihao had left Taixu Temple long before Chen Xingyu entered the temple, so his knowledge of this matter was limited. Before this, this matter was quite secretive, and it was almost passed down from the Abbey Dean's lineage. Even the Tai Shang Elders did not know much about it."
Xiao Yan said with some regret, "In the memory of Taoist Master Red Sun, although he knows that the Taixu Taoist brought the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror into the Dead Sea, he entered the Underworld Sea because of the battle with Jihuang Shenyuan before the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror broke and returned to the universe. Therefore, his knowledge of this matter is limited."
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Although the clues at hand are still a little lacking, I have a general idea in my heart. Qingwu, you just have to handle it carefully."
When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted. Luo Qingwu nodded. "Please instruct me, Master."
…
At the same time, in White Cloud Mountain, there was another tense scene.
At the top of White Cloud Mountain, all the higher-ups of Taixu Temple were present, either in projection or in person.
"The day of the reopening of the Spiritual Sea is much earlier than expected. For our temple, there are advantages and disadvantages." The current Abbey Dean of Taixu Temple, Lin Daohan, said in a flat tone.
In front of him, Xuanlin Taoist, Yun Yuanzhen, and the others nodded without saying a word.
Although no one said it explicitly, even they had to admit that as time passed, the momentum of Xuanmen Tianzong's rise was becoming more and more terrifying. What was more terrifying was that this seemed to be endless. It was just the beginning, and he was far from reaching his peak.
As time passed, the growth of Xuanmen Tianzong's strength became more and more unimaginable.
From this point of view, the early reopening of the Spiritual Sea might not be a bad thing.
However, it was much earlier than expected, and the Haotian Mirror still couldn't recover to its peak. To Taixu Temple, this was naturally a disadvantage. After all, Xuanmen Tianzong wasn't the only opponent they had to face in the battle of the Spiritual Sea.
Heaven Punishing Sword couldn't enter the Spiritual Sea, but the Youdu Clan would definitely send in a large number of strong practitioners with Clan Master Huan Ri Youdu as their leader.
Other than that, it was hard to predict what kind of strong practitioners would interfere with the distribution of the Secret Key of the Spiritual Sea from The Enchantress, so they had to be on guard.
The Grand Elder of Taixu Temple, Kuang Heng, said Silently, "Now that things have come to this, there's no need to say more. We'll just do our best."
Lin Daohan nodded. "That's right. That's the logic."
Dao Venerable Xuan One said, "In the war between the two worlds, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was broken. Even though we've tried our best to repair it, the damaged vital qi is still hard to recover. After the Spiritual Sea reopens, if the demon race steps into the Divine Land, they might covet our temple."
"The Haotian Mirror will still have to leave the Divine Land and enter the Spiritual Sea. White Cloud Mountain will become extremely empty."
Shōichi Dōshin said, "This time, I'll stay in the Divine Land."
Lin Daohan said, "No, the three of you, along with your disciples, will enter the Spiritual Sea."
Dazzling brilliance shone in everyone's eyes as they looked at Lin Daohan. Lin Daohan's expression and tone didn't change at all. "The Master of Xuan Men has accepted the Son of Youdu in the Heavenly Ocean as his disciple. His thoughts can already be seen clearly."
"His thoughts can't be said to be wrong, but we can't say that it's impossible either. However, the risk of failure is also huge, so huge that not only Xuanmen Tianzong, but the entire Divine Land can't bear it. Since our paths are different, we can't work together. We'll definitely have to fight it out with him."
"And if the Spiritual Sea falls into the hands of the Youdu race or the demon race, the result will be even more unimaginable."
Lin Daohan said calmly, "No matter if it's for the sake of bringing order to the Divine Land or to fight against the demon race, the battle of the Spiritual Sea is of utmost importance to our temple. We can't afford any mistakes. After we refine the Spiritual Sea, even if the demons cause havoc on the land, we can still settle accounts with them."
Cai Fengzhou frowned slightly. "Isn't it too risky? If unpredictable changes happen in the Divine Land, it'll be hard for our temple to deal with them. "
Lin Daohan replied softly, "It's either the Haotian Mirror or the Heaven Punishment Sword. Other than these two, the King Of The Underworld most likely won't make a move. However, if the Haotian Mirror enters the Spiritual Sea, he won't be able to do anything about the Heaven Punishment Sword. Therefore, if the King Of The Underworld stays in the Boundless World, he'll at most have a backup plan at the Netherworld Sea. The person who should be wary of him is Xuanmen Tianzong."
"In the future, if the Star Glaze Buddha doesn't enter the Spiritual Sea, he might come to our temple to cut his karma. In that case, we'll return his karma. Due to Golden Cicada's mistake, his golden alms bowl ended up in the hands of the Master of the Celestial Gate. It's also fate."
Lin Daohan paused. "Speaking of this, it's related to another key point. If I go to the Spiritual Sea with the three elders, it'll be convenient for us to carry out our plan in the Divine Land. The Master of the Celestial Gate, Master Yi, and the High Venerable of the Extreme Dao are all proficient in the way of deducing karma and fate. They might have noticed something, but they probably haven't figured it out yet."
"The less we get involved, the less clues they can deduce. It'll be easier for us to carry out our plan."
Dao Venerable Yuyuan sighed. "If you didn't mention it to Uncle Master Taiyi, we wouldn't have expected things to turn out this way …"
Lin Daohan continued, "Tiansheng Daoist is a variable. But if he returns to the White Cloud Mountain, our temple has prepared a special method for him. At least, we can make him return empty-handed."
Everyone present nodded slightly. Although Tiansheng Daoist was a Grand Elder of the Taixu Realm in the Dharma Ending Realm, he came from the Taixu Temple after all. If they were prepared, they wouldn't have to worry about him causing trouble.
"As for the Nether Sea, we can only ask Uncle Master Wu to act according to the situation." Lin Daohan looked at Wu Mengqi. In Wu Mengqi's eyes, thousands of images of disasters and tribulations in the Nether Sea flashed. He nodded silently and didn't say anything.
Lin Daohan said, "I have to admit that if the Celestial Crushing Sword of the Master of the Celestial Sect stays in the Divine Land, the Demon Clan will become a variable and cause the least harm. At the moment, it's a blessing for the entire Divine Land, and even we will benefit from it."
"But at the same time, if the Master of the Celestial Sect enters the Spiritual Sea, no one will be able to control that evil sword. Once the sword goes out of control, the Demon Clan and the King Of The Underworld won't have to do anything evil. The people in the Divine Land will be plunged into misery and suffering. This is something I can't control the most, but I can only sigh."
Lin Daohan's tone had always been flat and emotionless. It was only at this moment that there was a slight fluctuation in his tone.
Because the Celestial Crushing Sword couldn't enter the Spiritual Sea, Xuanmen Tianzong's power to fight for the Spiritual Sea was greatly reduced. But in this way, there was also a hidden danger, which made Lin Daohan feel conflicted.
If the Celestial Crushing Sword really went out of control, it would be useless even if Shōichi Dōshin stayed. Even if Tai One Supremacy stayed, without the Haotian Mirror, there was nothing he could do.
On the other side, the fight for the Spiritual Sea did not allow the Taixu Temple to hold back.
"Man proposes, God disposes. Refining the Spiritual Sea and combining it with the Haotian Mirror, we can suppress this sword." Tai One Supremacy, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment, "How can there be anything in this world that is completely satisfactory and without any risks?"
He closed his eyes, but looked around. Everyone present seemed to feel Tai One Supremacy's "gaze". Slowly, Tai One Supremacy said, "This time, the reopening of the Spiritual Sea is very likely related to the future fate of the Heaven Primordial World. We can only do our best."
Lin Daohan, Shōichi Dōshin, Xuan One Supremacy and the others all nodded. "Of course."
Shōichi Dōshin looked at Kuang Heng and said Slowly, "I'll leave the Divine Land to you. This time, focus on the Spiritual Sea. As for the Boundless World, don't be hasty and be patient."
Kuang Heng said calmly, "I understand. First, the original plan is the most important. At other times, you can take a step back. Everything will be decided after the dust of the fight for the Spiritual Sea has settled."
His eyes became a little deep. "When necessary, we should follow Junior Brother Yan's example."
Xuan One Supremacy said, "In this fight for the Spiritual Sea, although our temple has the upper hand, the opponent is equally strong. We need to be careful."
"If things go wrong, activate the backup plan." Tai One Supremacy closed his eyes and looked emotionless. "In short, do your best."
Everyone looked up at the void above the peak of White Cloud Mountain. There, among the thick white clouds, there was a round mirror light. It was faintly visible, as if it was connected to the heavens and the whole Boundless World.
In the void above the northern foothills of Kunlun Mountain, on the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree at the peak of Jade Capital Mountain, Lin Feng sat upright Silently. All the disciples had already received his orders and went to either prepare or cultivate.
Lin Feng gazed at the empty space in the distance, slowly thinking in his heart: "Who would it be?"
