When Master Zhang returned to Chang 'an with the captives, Jinghua, Yu Tianquan, and the others were sitting opposite each other in the Buddhist Land of the Aparagodaniya.
"Since the World Honored One is not here, we can only use the empty fort strategy. Fortunately, the people of Chang 'an didn't continue to pursue us." Thunder Dragon King Zhen Yu sighed.
"If they really come after us, we'll try our best to stop them. If we can't stop them, we can only retreat temporarily and give up Aparagodaniya. When the World Honored One returns, we'll make a comeback." Miao Kunluo said.
Master Jia Shu sighed. "Chang 'an has destroyed the foundation of the Buddhist Land, so we have no geographical advantage. Besides, our Buddhist followers in Aparagodaniya will definitely be slaughtered by Chang' an."
"As long as the World Honored One gains something in the Ci Hang Pure Land, we don't have to worry even if we don't have geographical advantage." Miao Kunluo looked serious. "As for the Nanzhan Department Continent, I'm afraid we won't have another chance. Chang 'an will definitely destroy the Moon Spring."
Jinghua said, "It's my fault. I didn't do it well."
"I think it's not that you didn't do it well, but that you didn't do it well."
Yu Tianquan suddenly said, "Chang 'an obviously knew about our plan and was waiting for us. How did the news leak out?"
Thunder Dragon King Zhen Yu Slowly said, "It's not Yuanyun's fault. He has already fallen in the hands of the Chang 'an villains."
Yu Tianquan smiled. "Let's just assume that he's fine. But that doesn't mean that everyone else is fine."
Zhen Yu and Yu Tianquan looked at each other. "Mr. Yu, are you suspecting me?"
Yu Tianquan smiled but didn't say anything.
Master Jia Shu tried to smooth things over. "Maybe Chang 'an discovered the secret of the Moon Spring in advance and guessed that we might go there, so they set up an ambush."
Yu Tianquan nodded indifferently. "That's also possible."
Thunder Dragon King Zhen Yu was silent.
"Losing the prayer beads can be a big deal." At this moment, Jinghua said, "Disciple must head to the Benevolent Travel Pure Land and inform Master to discuss this matter. Uncle-Masters, please take care of the Aparagodaniya Continent."
"Yes, this matter is of great importance. You indeed need to make this trip." Venerable Master Jia Shu and Miao Kunluo both nodded slowly.
Jinghua then looked at Yu Tianquan. "Thank you, Mr. Yu."
Yu Tianquan smiled. "We're on the same path now, so of course I won't hold back."
"If Benefactor Lei of the North Continent comes out of seclusion and wants to wage war with the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the few of you can act as you see fit. However, please be careful," Jinghua continued.
She bid them farewell and entered a stupa at the core of the Pure Land. Then, she sat down cross-legged in meditation.
Inside and outside the stupa, a glazed fire suddenly ignited.
Jing Hua's figure gradually disappeared in the Glazed Fire.
…
After Zhang Dongyun returned to Chang 'an City from the Nanzhan Department Continent, he returned the freedom of the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
He returned to his own Daming Palace and walked into the core hall. He walked to his throne and sat down.
The moment he entered the Invincible City, he basically knew everything that Qiongqi and Juehuang knew.
"Twelfth Sister, how is it?"
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand and a light image appeared in mid-air.
Shen Herong's voice came from it. "There's no substantial progress at the moment."
Zhang Dongyun said, "In that case, come back first. I have some new clues here."
"Okay," Shen Herong replied.
The light image in front of Zhang Dongyun disappeared.
In his hand, the jade prayer beads appeared and he played with them carefully.
Now that he was in the vicinity of the Invincible City, this thing was no longer a secret to him.
To be precise, this very superior Buddhist treasure was actually an unfinished rough embryo.
To put it simply, Mahaloni and Jing Hua, the master and disciple, hoped to draw out the power contained in the fragments of the Immortals and make use of it.
The power contained in the fragment itself was too vast and far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But it was too mysterious, so even if people got it, it was difficult to use it and control it.
For example, Yang Li was like guarding a treasure mountain but couldn't enter it. Even his injuries were difficult to heal.
Of course, if he wasn't so badly injured, he might have a chance to explore some of the mysteries of the Immortal Fragment.
The Shen family of the Nine Peaks Academy had no choice but to use the evil method of the Birth Sacrifice.
It was not easy for Shen Herong to draw out some of the mysteries of the fragment and establish the Nine Peaks Academy and the Shen family's rapid rise.
Peng Ziling and Ying Xiao were also able to make the [Genesis Six Directions Formation] and the [Thunder Ancestor Sword] come true with a little power of the Immortal Fragment.
However, that was all there was to it. It would be extremely difficult to obtain more than that.
In the Aparagodānīya, Jing Hua's research on the Immortal Fragment seemed to have improved.
The power contained in the fragment was too vast and mysterious, so Jing Hua and her master tried to break it down.
It must be said that they succeeded in making a breakthrough.
This string of jade prayer beads was one of the results.
After a long time of refining by the Buddha, the prayer beads were successfully contaminated with some of the fragment's power.
But the problem was that the power and mysteries were all sealed in the jade prayer beads.
The Buddhists were still unable to use the Immortal's Psionic Power contained in the prayer beads.
But they had succeeded in taking a big step forward.
At least, it was much easier to figure out what was inside the prayer beads compared to the enormous Psionic Power in the fragment.
The Buddhist Kingdom's idea was to use the special terrain below the Moon Spring to extract the Psionic Power from the jade prayer beads.
Unfortunately, this was destined to be a long work. It would take years and months. It couldn't be done overnight.
Jing Hua and the others had to spend a lot of time and effort just to prepare for the ritual.
In the end, the Nanzhan Section State, including the Moon Spring, couldn't stop Chang 'an and was taken over by Chang' an.
Jing Hua and the others could only take the risk and try, but they failed in the end.
In the Daming Palace in Chang 'an City, Zhang Dongyun suddenly laughed.
He had to admit that Mahaloni and Jing Hua, the pair of master and disciple, were indeed talented and had some skills.
They really made a small gap in the profound and mysterious existence of the fragment of the Immortal.
They were on the right path.
As long as they were given enough time and external conditions, they would definitely achieve greater results.
But unfortunately, Zhang Dongyun wouldn't let them do as they wished.
At this moment, he looked at the jade prayer beads and threw them into the air.
The prayer beads hovered in the air and didn't fall. Zhang Dongyun's mind moved, and the Psionic Power in the jade prayer beads was immediately released.
Golden streamers flew out of the prayer beads, and then after hovering in the main hall, they disappeared without a trace.
These lights didn't really disappear completely. Instead, they became one with Chang 'an City.
Zhang Dongyun glanced at his system.
[11 381664,113 81663,1138 1662 …]
The duration of invincibility had indeed increased.
Zhang Dongyun was sure that the previous number should be "10517664". Now that it had increased by 864000, he estimated that it should be ten days.
It didn't sound like much, but in the jade prayer beads, there was only a very small amount of Psionic Power in Jing Hua's fragment.
If he could get her fragment of the Immortal, it would probably be a great help to him.
Zhang Dongyun estimated that Invincible City still had a little more than three years.
In these three years, he had to get Jing Hua's fragment.
Otherwise, as the City Lord, he would have to move out of Invincible City.
If the City Lord wasn't in Invincible City, it wouldn't count.
But unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhang Dongyun wouldn't take that step.
It didn't seem to affect him much. If he was in danger, he could enter the city. But outside Invincible City, he couldn't enjoy the constant influx of Spirit Qi.
Master Zhang's cultivation speed was rapid, far surpassing that of ordinary people. At the same time, his strength was so strong that it made Orange Light and the other great demons tremble in fear. It was all thanks to the continuous help of Invincible City over the past few years.
If he wanted to live a good life, he needed Jing Hua's fragment.
Unfortunately, the other party was very cautious and refused to take the initiative to enter Master Zhang's bowl …
While he was thinking, Zhang Dongyun felt that Shen Herong and the others had returned.
Shen Herong's current cultivation was still at the twelfth realm.
Chen Chaoyan's realm was even lower.
But Twilight Mist was an expert who had cultivated to the peak of the Essence Soul realm. When her Yang Spirit flew, she could travel thousands of miles in an instant. She was not inferior to a peak Martial Emperor flying through the air.
Thus, the group of them quickly returned.
After entering Daming Palace, Twilight Mist and Chen Chaoyan bowed respectfully to Zhang Dongyun.
After Shen Herong greeted Zhang Dongyun, he sat quietly at the side.
"Juehuang, who was taken away by Fang Cun, has been recaptured."
Zhang Dongyun said, "But he doesn't know Fang Cun's whereabouts either."
Twilight Mist nodded slightly. She wasn't disappointed.
She had been searching for Fang Cun for so long without finding anything. She naturally knew how difficult it was.
"Your Majesty, did that Qiong Qi confess? Why did Fang Cun take him away?" Twilight Mist bowed to Zhang Dongyun first and then asked softly.
"He was looking for something."
Zhang Dongyun said, "It was originally produced in the Evil Emperor Lake of the Qiong Qi Clan in the Nanzhan Ministry Continent. It was called the Strange Fate Flower. But he couldn't find it after searching, so he took Juehuang away."
Twilight Mist fell into deep thought. "The Strange Fate Flower …"
Shen Herong muttered, "I've heard about this flower, but I don't know much about it. But …"
She looked up thoughtfully. "… As far as I know, the pollen of this flower won't disperse for a long time after it touches a person's body. Even cultivators in the thirteenth and fourteenth realms need a long time and a lot of effort to get rid of it. Generally speaking, this flower isn't used as medicine, but it's suitable for tracking."
Twilight Mist's eyes brightened slightly. She had a guess. "Could it be that Fang Cun wants this flower not for tracking, but for finding people or objects?"
Shen Herong nodded. "It's not impossible. He may have mastered some unique ritual that requires the use of the Strange Fate Flower to help him search for his target. Of course, this is only one of the possibilities."
Zhang Dongyun said, "Unfortunately, the Strange Fate Flower has been extinct for a long time. It's not even found near the Evil Emperor Lake. Fang Cun's information is lagging behind. He came for nothing."
Twilight Mist took a deep breath. "If we have this flower, we might be able to use it to find him."
Shen Herong's gaze fell on Chen Chaoyan. "If his goal isn't to track but to search, then what is he looking for?"
