The southeastern part of the Southern Border had always been under the control of several neutral sects. Within a thousand miles of the plains under the Chao Phraya River, the Bright King Dao forces that had merged with the other sects over the past few decades had not been able to control them.
The reason was simple. The cultivation sects here were not big, and they were all subordinate to the Bright King Road. Therefore, the Bright King Road's orders were given directly to the local sect masters, and the direct forces of the Bright King Road did not extend too far into this area.
After the battle on the island, Di Yutian suffered a heavy blow. The former sect master, Shangguan Wufeng, fell into the Devil Dao and willingly accepted the Devil Qi Infusion. After that, Grand Elder Wen Xin and the shapeshifting demonic beast Ying Xiao worked together to defeat him. Grand Elder Di Yutian and Zhuge Jidian were severely injured during the investigation. Fortunately, they were still conscious and did not receive the Demonic Qi Infusion.
After returning from the Southern Sea, Zhuge Jidian took the position of sect master with the permission of the Bright King Holy Son and Grand Elder Wen Xin. This could be considered as fulfilling his small wish.
Afterward, Zhuge Jidian entrusted all the affairs of Di Yutian to Shangguan Dingsheng and Zhuge Wudi, the two acting sect masters, while he went into seclusion to cultivate.
A month later, the Bright King Road and Myriad Eagle King's forces jointly announced that the Southern Sea was banned. All cultivators who went ashore had to go to Seawatch City to register.
All cultivators who went to the Southern Sea had to carry a special detection token to determine their location, so that the Bright King Road and the Devil Race could monitor them.
For a time, the entire Southern Border was in a state of panic. Everyone was guessing that something big had happened in the Southern Sea, and it even involved the Devil Race.
However, Yi Tian did not care about these things. At this time, he was leisurely strolling in the Southern Border's mortal capital, Nanyue City. Now that there were more and more things to do, especially after the alliance with the Devil Race, he had to report all the big and small matters, so he did not have any free time.
In the end, Yi Tian had no choice but to act shamelessly. He kicked the ball to Shangguan Dingsheng and Zhuge Wudi, and asked Le Tongxuan to help him. Furthermore, he made it clear that these matters would be used as a basis for his future promotion to the Imperial Sky Sect Master, so the two of them were particularly attentive to this matter.
After arranging these things, Yi Tian became a hands-off shopkeeper and slipped out by himself. During this time, Great Elder Wen Xin and Xiong Batian sent messages asking about him. However, they were all sent away by Yi Tian's one sentence. The content of the reply was very simple, "Find Qin Mingyue's reincarnation."
Both of them remained silent. Although Yi Tian was the Holy Son now, the higher-ups of the Saint still had sacred feelings for Qin Mingyue, so they didn't pursue the matter.
Previously, Yi Tian had asked Xiao Linhang to calculate the place of Qin Mingyue's reincarnation, and the results were gratifying. Xiao Linhang used the stone lock as a guide and figured out the approximate location.
In the end, he only told Yi Tian that he could find it in the southeast of Nanjiang, but the specific location could not be determined. Therefore, Yi Tian brought Qin Mingyue's stone lock all the way to the South Yue Kingdom's capital. Only then did he discover that the small lock had a little reaction, but this reaction was also intermittent.
This time, Yi Tian became more attentive. Since the direction was correct and the stone lock had a reaction, it meant that it should be very close. With this, Yi Tian began to walk in circles in the South Yue Kingdom's capital. Unfortunately, the stone lock's reaction was intermittent.
After keeping the stone lock, Yi Tian's face turned bitter. This stone lock had been completely silent since a burst of buzzing three days ago. On the way here, there were two continuous reactions, but the duration was not long. It stopped in less than half a quarter of an hour.
After arriving at the South Yue Kingdom's capital, Yi Tian walked around a few times in the day to no avail, so he rested in the air for a while. Wandering around the streets during the day was not a problem, but at night, if he were to be discovered by the cultivators in the city, it would be troublesome.
Although he had already investigated the South Yue Kingdom's capital early in the morning, there were only a few strong spiritual pressures that faintly flashed in the imperial palace. Looking at the intensity, they should be Jin Dan cultivators. He guessed that this was a place of worship for some cultivation sect, so there were Jin Dan cultivators overseeing it.
When it was almost dawn, Yi Tian faintly heard what seemed to be the sound of monks chanting scriptures from the South Yue Kingdom's capital. There seemed to be many people chanting scriptures. Just when he was feeling bored, the stone lock in his hand suddenly moved again. This time, it was no longer a buzzing sound, but a real vibration.
Then Yi Tian's body flashed and he directly descended from the cloud, sneaking into the Kingdom's capital. After landing on the ground, he discovered that there were palace maids and eunuchs shuttling back and forth in the corridors.
Quietly using an invisibility technique, he followed the stone lock's reaction into the depths of the palace to search. After passing through several palaces, he arrived in front of a magnificent main hall. Looking up, he saw the three words' State Teacher Hall '.
But from inside came the sound of monks chanting scriptures, which made Yi Tian a little puzzled. In the Sky Wave Continent, he only knew of the Central Region's Sanskrit Temple. How could there be monks in the South Border? Moreover, they were honored guests of the South Yue Kingdom's King.
After quickly going through the map of the South Border in his mind, Yi Tian sighed. In the southeast corner of the South Border, there was a clear indication of the Precious Lotus Temple's Buddhist Sect. It seemed like it should be these people inside.
Just as he was about to enter the State Teacher Hall, Yi Tian discovered that there were bursts of golden light coming from inside, which swept over his body and caused the space around him to distort. Not good, the mental power fluctuations produced by the chanting of these monks could actually block the prying eyes of others. Then, with a flash, he arrived at the corner of the lower level. Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Yi Tian revealed his original body. Then, he used the Thousand Faces Technique to transform himself into a young monk. Then, he changed his clothes into a kasaya monk's robe.
Then, he swaggered into the State Teacher Hall through the side door. Just as he entered the door, the stone lock's reaction stopped. Yi Tian glanced sideways. In the entire main hall, there were over a hundred monks sitting below chanting scriptures. And in the middle, there was a senior monk leading everyone in chanting scriptures.
Yi Tian didn't want to interrupt. In any case, Qin Mingyue's reincarnation should be mixed in with these monks. As for which one it was, he would have to wait until later to identify them one by one.
On the contrary, the old monk sitting at the front had a cultivation level of mid-stage Jin Dan. However, the Buddhist Sect cultivated the sarira, which was qualitatively different from the Daoist Sect's cultivation of Qi.
At this time, Yi Tian also followed suit and mixed in with the last row. He directly took a scripture book from the wall and placed it in front of him, pretending to be immersed in chanting.
Half an hour later, he heard the old monk stand up and say, "Please wait for a moment. I'll go invite the Great Master to take a seat." After saying that, he slowly walked down the stairs towards the back of the hall.
Yi Tian was also stunned. This Great Daoist Master's cultivation must be even more profound. He didn't expect that this small Treasure Lotus Temple would have two Aurous Core Stage cultivators. In other places in the Southern Border, this Treasure Lotus Temple would be a medium-sized sect.
Not long after, a burst of hearty laughter came from the back of the hall. The old monk from before led a young man in a yellow monk's robe out. Hearing that person's voice, Yi Tian was shocked. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
