After leaving the Sanqing Sect, Hayashikawa contacted Mu Li. He still needed to make a trip to the Yuan Sect.
As a first-class cultivation force in the Nakagawa Continent, the Yuan Sect had always been one of the top forces in the continent. In terms of absolute strength, the Yuan Sect was even above the Sanqing Sect. This was because they had as many as four Tribulation Stage cultivators in their sect, which was one more than the three major sects of the Dao Sect combined. Therefore, the Yuan Sect was an existence that almost no one dared to provoke in the cultivation world.
However, Hayashikawa knew from Mu Li that although the Yuan Sect appeared to be powerful on the surface, there were irreconcilable conflicts within it. The factional divisions were very serious and might even reach the point of splitting. This was the opportunity that Hayashikawa needed to seize.
Relatively speaking, the Yuan Sect was basically divided into three factions. The faction of the Yuan Sect Sect Master was mainly composed of Sect Master Zhang Lin and his Tribulation Stage grandfather. There was also the faction of the Grand Elder, which was Feng Yuan's faction. They had two Tribulation Stage cultivators. Other than that, there was another faction that was neutral and had one Tribulation Stage elder.
Zhang Lin's faction was more moderate. Like the other major forces, they would participate in the affairs of the continent and would not use overly aggressive cultivation methods. However, Feng Yuan's faction was different. They were low-key and obscure, but their methods were extremely cruel. This could be seen when Feng Yuan destroyed Yijiang City in the Nanming Continent. They would do anything for the sake of cultivation and would often cause disastrous consequences.
However, because they were more secretive and did not take action much, and because the Yuan Sect was very powerful, the continent turned a blind eye to them. However, this also made it difficult for Zhang Lin's faction to participate in the affairs of the continent. On the other hand, Feng Yuan's faction thought that Zhang Lin's faction was too weak and could not be of great use. The two factions had already quarreled to the point where they could not tolerate each other.
As for the neutral faction, they were basically a peacemaker. They would not stand on any side, but if one side was too powerful, they would also be biased in their actions to balance out the disputes.
The problem now was that it was very difficult for Zhang Lin's faction to control the Origin Sect. The neutral Tribulation Passing Stage elder's attitude was also ambiguous. It was unknown when he would change sides. Therefore, Zhang Lin had to find a way to break this balance as soon as possible. Originally, Zhang Lin had high hopes for Mu Li because Mu Li was a descendant of the Buddha Clan and possessed one of the three great Origin Scriptures, the Buddha True Scripture. Therefore, even if he completely fell out with the other faction, Zhang Lin did not hesitate to snatch Mu Li over.
However, the relationship between the two factions was getting harder and harder to control. Mu Li's plan was too late. If Feng Yuan's faction launched an attack now and forcefully removed him from his position as the Sect Head of Yuan Sect, everything would be too late.
Therefore, Zhang Lin really needed an external force to break the current situation in the Yuan Sect. Hayashikawa, who had grasped the situation, would naturally not let go of such a great opportunity.
As the saying went, a fly would not bite a seamless egg. Although Hayashikawa was not the fly, the Yuan Sect was an egg with a crack. If there was no conflict between the factions in the Yuan Sect, it would be very difficult for Hayashikawa to intervene in the Yuan Sect. After all, although the pill could increase one's strength, it was equivalent to handing over part of the control of the Yuan Sect to Hayashikawa. Therefore, he would be restrained by Hayashikawa. However, Zhang Lin had no other choice. Instead of waiting for Feng Yuan's faction to launch an attack and force him to step down, he might as well fight for it.
Furthermore, Mu Li's existence had already proven the power of the pill. Therefore, Zhang Lin had nothing to worry about.
The meeting with Zhang Lin was not set in the Yuan Sect as they wanted to avoid Feng Yuan's faction. Therefore, only Zhang Lin and Mu Li came. The three of them did not meet for long. Zhang Lin and Hayashikawa discussed briefly and confirmed the matter of cooperation. Hayashikawa was also very generous and directly gave Zhang Lin one hundred pills. These pills were enough to allow Zhang Lin's faction to improve significantly in a short period of time and help them resist the existence of Feng Yuan's faction. Zhang Lin also agreed to help Hayashikawa delay time and organize the Nakagawa Royal Family to open the domain passage to the Nanming Continent.
Zhang Lin knew that Hayashikawa wanted to catch up with Mu Li. Therefore, he did not disturb the two of them. After taking the pills, he left directly and left the two brothers alone.
"The Nakagawa Continent is not safe now. With those Tribulation Stage cultivators making their move, your Netherworld will most likely be restrained. Once you are unable to escape, you will be in a very difficult situation. Moreover, the Nakagawa Royal Family is determined to open the domain passage. We can only think of ways to delay time, but we can't stop them!" Mu Li said worriedly.
He knew that Hayashikawa had many tricks up his sleeve. However, he was still a Tribulation Stage cultivator after all. He was the existence at the pinnacle of the entire continent. He could not help but think more about it.
"Don't worry. I should be able to leave the Nakagawa Continent and go to the Western River Continent soon. I should be able to find the Primary Zenith Grass there. Once I get it, my strength will increase greatly again. At that time, even if I am not a match for the Tribulation Stage cultivators, it will be easy for me to escape. You don't have to worry about me!" Hayashikawa said with a smile.
"You have already found a way to leave?" Mu Li asked in surprise.
"My cultivation is increasing rapidly. It should not be long before I have another breakthrough. At that time, I can use the Netherworld to go directly to the Western River Continent. After all, the Western River Continent is the continent closest to the Nakagawa Continent. Since the Sky Yi Sword Sect can open the domain passage, there shouldn't be much of a problem on my side," Hayashikawa explained.
"I see!" Mu Li's furrowed brows relaxed a lot. Finally, he nodded. "Then be careful on your side. If necessary, I can go with you to the Western River Continent!"
"You have a lot of things to do in the Sky Origin Sect. You don't have the time to care about me. Don't worry, the Akatsuki is enough!" Hayashikawa said with a smile.
"Alright then. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. You are my only brother. You don't have to be polite with me!" Mu Li said solemnly.
"Okay!" Hayashikawa nodded.
After the two of them separated, Hayashikawa went to look for Yue Nakagawa, Princess Youhua, and Xiao Kai. Although the forces of these three people were not enough to affect the situation of the continent, they were not weak forces. If he could use elixirs to control them, it would be good for the Akatsuki.
In addition, Hayashikawa also contacted Bu Ming, Shi Shuiqing, and the others whom he had met in the Immortal Ancient World, and further consolidated the layout of the Nakagawa Continent.
After doing all this, he and the rest of the Akatsuki went into hiding temporarily. The large number of Spiritual Stones that they had obtained from robbing the major sects could be used to burn the Universal Light Palace for a period of time. It would be a waste not to use them. The most important thing now was to improve their cultivation.
After a month in the outside world, Hayashikawa, who was in the Universal Light Palace, had another breakthrough. The cultivation of the three main doppelgangers had reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm. After the fusion, their cultivation had reached the late stage of the Combination Realm.
"The Western River Continent! I'm here! "Hayashikawa whispered to himself the moment he opened his eyes.
