"There have been rumors about the Twelve Kings of Hell in the Dongsheng Divine Continent for a long time, but the North Continent is still uncertain."
The nun Jinghua said, "If there is a connection, it is more likely that the North Continent will contact the Dongsheng Divine Continent first."
Slowly, Kong Shengzhen of the Middle Earth Evolving Saint Mansion nodded. "I heard that the Nine Saints Palace, a demonic sect in the Southern Wilderness, originated from the North Continent. I believe that the news about Chang 'an has been spread there a long time ago."
Abbot Huai Yong of the Dabei Temple put his palms together and sighed. "That means that the two might join forces."
"It's not impossible." Venerable Jiashu nodded. "However, since the Pure Land has started to pay attention to the North Continent, I believe that they will inform us immediately if there is any news."
Everyone present nodded slightly.
However, the pressure from the east and the north still weighed on everyone's hearts.
Song Jun's gaze fell on Jinghua. "The Tai Qing Palace of Daoism has an array that is passed down from generation to generation, and its power is indeed extraordinary. However, it requires six fourteenth-level cultivators to set up the array, and we are lacking manpower here …"
Although he did not finish his sentence, Jinghua already understood what he meant. "I'm sorry, but I'm still a distance away from the Boundless Realm."
Hearing that, everyone present was slightly disappointed.
Could it be that Venerable Jiashu had to fill the gap himself?
When they saw Jinghua just now, although they did not fight with her, everyone could faintly feel that this Buddhist nun was the direct disciple of the Revered One. Her cultivation attainments were indeed extraordinary.
Even with their fourteenth-level cultivation, they could not see through Jinghua's details.
Compared to the title of the Revered One's disciple, this made Kong Shengzhen, Song Jun, and the others pay more attention.
If her cultivation had really reached the fourteenth-level, even Venerable Jiashu might not be her match.
Unfortunately, she was just one step away, and that was really the case.
Jinghua's cultivation was not there. Although her strength was extraordinary, she still could not fill the gap in the Genesis Six Directions Formation.
"May I know where Senior Brother Jing Ge of the Longxiang Temple is now?" Jinghua asked.
"Martial Nephew Jing Ge has also retreated from the Western Region. He has found a small island in the Wilderness Sea and is cultivating in peace," Abbot Huai Yong of the Dabei Temple answered.
As he answered, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Abbot Jing Ge of the Longxiang Temple was the most outstanding rising star of the Buddhist sects in the Western Region of the Dongsheng Divine Land in recent years.
Buddhists placed great importance on enlightenment, especially testing the talent of their disciples.
In just a few decades, Abbot Jing Ge had already reached the thirteenth realm of Buddhism, and was only one step away from the fourteenth realm.
In recent years, there had been a rumor in the Western Region that Buddhism was likely to have a third Immeasurable after Abbot Huai Yong of Dabei Temple and Abbot Xiankong of Sensual Temple.
However, just like Jing Hua, even though he had unlimited potential and was determined to reach the fourteenth level, if he hadn't reached it yet, then he hadn't.
Abbot Jing Ge was still at the thirteenth realm.
He led many disciples of Longxiang Temple and was forced to retreat to the sea with the others. After settling down, he no longer cared about external affairs and focused on cultivation, hoping to take that final step as soon as possible.
When Abbot Huai Yong and Abbot Xiankong heard Jinghua suddenly ask about Jing Ge, they immediately had some guesses.
Jing Hua quickly confirmed their guesses, "The Pure Land is lacking in manpower, so only the few of us are here. However, before we leave, the elders ordered me to bring some things to the Dongsheng Divine Land. Maybe Senior Jing Ge will be able to use them."
Not only Abbot Huai Yong and Abbot Xiankong, but the others were also overjoyed.
After Venerable Jiashu, the Aparagodaniya specially sent people to bring things over, which would definitely be beneficial to Abbot Jing Ge.
Maybe it could help him reach the fourteenth realm sooner.
Even though the Aparagodaniya Continent couldn't squeeze out other experts to help in the short term, they could help the Buddhists of the Dongsheng Divine Land to tap into their own potential.
If Abbot Jing Ge successfully reached the fourteenth realm, there would be hope for the Taichu Six Directions Formation to be re-established.
Other than the formation, Venerable Jiashu, Jing Hua and the rest were also on the side.
In this way, everyone would have more confidence against Chang 'an City.
"Since it's a Daoist formation, why don't we meet Chief Peng of the Tai Qing Palace?" Jing Hua asked again.
Abbot Huai Yong of Dabei Temple sighed, "Almsgiver Peng was injured by Sword Demon Su Po, and his injuries are not light. Even though I can help heal him, Almsgiver Peng still needs to rest."
Jing Hua thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe I can help. Even though I can't say it will be of great help, at least I can help Almsgiver Peng recover sooner."
"Oh?" Everyone was surprised.
When Abbot Huai Yong was at the thirteenth realm, he didn't dare to say that Sweet Rain would be of use to Su Po's sword wound.
Jing Hua's words were polite, but judging from her expression and tone, it was obvious that she had some confidence in speaking.
The Revered One's personal disciple was really amazing …
Everyone praised her in their hearts. Abbot Huai Yong immediately led Jing Hua to meet Abbot Jing Ge and Peng Ziling.
Venerable Jiashu turned his head and looked towards the northwest, towards the direction of the North Continent.
Was that really where the Demonic Dragon Emperor Lei Han was?
Su Po alone was already so troublesome. With Lei Han, Ao Kong, Shen Herong, and the others, plus the City Lord of Chang 'an behind them …
Venerable Jiashu only thought about it and sighed slightly. He wondered if the Revered One would break his vows and come out of seclusion.
Beside him, Abbot Xiankong, Kong Shengzhen, and Song Jun all looked towards the east and northwest.
…
North Continent.
On the ground, there was a storm that wasn't inferior to the one in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
After the intense collision, the storm gradually calmed down, and the smoke gradually dispersed. The drastic change that changed the world was coming to an end.
Nine Infants King Gui Nanshan's figure flew over the barren plains that had been burned to the ground.
The center of the barren plains had collapsed, forming a huge basin that was hundreds of miles wide.
When he reached the basin, this unparalleled Great Demon who had cultivated the Nine Infants Transformation and reached the fourteenth realm of the Demonic Way landed on the ground. He changed from flying to walking.
He quickly reached the center of the basin.
A few people stood outside in twos and threes. When they saw Gui Nanshan arrive, they nodded slightly.
Gui Nanshan returned their greetings and stopped in his tracks.
The four of them stood in four different directions. Their gazes all fell on the center.
There were two people there.
One was standing, and the other was kneeling.
The kneeling person struggled to stand up, but it was futile.
The standing person stretched out a hand. Black Qi surged and turned into a pitch-black dragon's head.
The black dragon opened its mouth and bit the head of the kneeling person in front of it.
Under the black Qi, the fingers of the hand opened and grabbed the head of the kneeling person, forcing him to kneel.
Gui Nanshan and the other three watched this scene quietly.
They all recognized the kneeling person.
He was none other than the Martial Emperor of the North Continent, the Sun Emperor, Xiang Tianye.
He was also at the fourteenth realm, and his skills were even stronger than Nine Infants King Gui Nanshan's.
But at this moment, the peak Martial Emperor who had once been as brilliant as the sun was pressed to the ground by another person. He couldn't move.
The dragon's head formed by the black Qi was like a darkness that swallowed the heavens and the earth. It swallowed the sunlight.
The standing person was shrouded by the black Qi, making it difficult to see his appearance.
Only a pair of cold, black eyes looked down at Sun Emperor Xiang Tianye from above.
"Surrender or die."
Xiang Tianye's arms were already broken at the shoulders. No one knew where they were.
He was pressed to one knee on the ground. He desperately tried to struggle and stand up.
But the demonic claw on his head didn't move at all.
"Give me a quick death!" Xiang Tianye said hatefully.
The tall man covered by the black Qi nodded. "Alright."
With that, the black dragon formed by the rolling black Qi suddenly enlarged. The dragon opened its mouth and swallowed Sun Emperor Xiang Tianye whole.
Xiang Tianye couldn't make any more sounds. The sunlight dissipated. A fourteenth-realm Martial Emperor died without a burial place.
"Congratulations, Emperor, for unifying the North Continent."
Gui Nanshan and the other three kneeled in unison.
The tall man nodded. "Rise."
The four stood up. Gui Nanshan asked, "Your Majesty, Xiang Tianye's family and disciples …"
The tall man waved his hand casually.
The person beside him immediately understood. "Leave it to me. I promise not to leave a single one alive."
After he left, the remaining three people followed the tall man and left the basin together.
"Your Majesty, Dongsheng Divine Prefecture …" Gui Nanshan asked tentatively.
"Ignore them for now. Do your jobs well and wait for my orders." The tall man's tone was cold.
Gui Nanshan and the other two answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
…
Zhang Dongyun didn't care about the Aparagodaniya and the North Continent for now.
In the following days, Master Zhang's attention was mainly on his own cultivation and the literacy that Shen Herong was in charge of.
With Shen Herong taking the lead and a large number of high-level Confucian cultivators helping to educate the people, it was much more convenient than ordinary teachers.
However, after the eighth expansion, Invincible City's territory was too vast.
The entire Eastern Border, the eastern side of Middle Earth, and the vast sea around Eastern Border were all covered by Invincible City.
An extremely vast territory meant an extremely large population.
Although the current world was different from the Blue Planet in Zhang Dongyun's memory, the productivity was better, so the population wasn't too explosive.
However, the Eastern Border alone covered more than one billion square kilometers.
The number of people on the land was naturally exaggerated.
It was already a year later when the System finally determined that Invincible City had reached the literacy standard.
[Within Invincible City under the City Lord's rule, the illiteracy rate of the people is officially lower than 10%. Construction Mission 9.4 has been successfully completed. Obtained 4,000 construction experience points.]
In Invincible City's Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
This one year of waiting had really made him anxious.
Fortunately, he had obtained Shen Herong's fragment of the Immortals. Otherwise, the invincible time would have exceeded the limit.
However, after completing this mission, his Construction Experience Points had already reached 16,600 points.
He was only one mission away from his goal of 19,000 points.
