Ban Lan originally thought that it would take at least a day or two to get a result, but he didn't expect to receive a definite reply in less than a summer. He knew that all of this was because of the people from Shouzheng's base, which was why he could receive such great support.
At the same time, he also knew that he had to find a result this time. If he couldn't make up for his crimes, he might not be able to avoid a trip to prison.
Solemnly, he said to He Li, "Hurry up and get the things. We'll set off immediately after we're ready."
He Li also noticed the change in his mood. He solemnly responded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Because everything was directly transferred from the Fu Province's treasury, it was equivalent to requisition on the spot. Therefore, everything was prepared in just half a summer.
Ban Lan didn't delay any longer. He immediately took He Li to the flying boat and flew into the sky. They followed the guidance of the talisman and searched deep into the forest.
It could be seen that the direction the talisman was pointing was almost the same as the direction they found the other day. They were both facing the southeast. However, a few days later, the talisman suddenly changed direction.
He Li's expression froze. "Sir, this person is moving. Did he discover something?"
Ban Lan stood up and looked around. "Not necessarily. The turbid tide here is much thicker than before. We felt the change, but it might not be true."
In a place where the turbid tide was dense, all the senses might not be real. It was reasonable for the other party to hide here because it was not easy to be discovered.
Ban Lan said, "Whether we can find it or not, we'll know the result later."
After another half a day, the talisman suddenly stopped and spun in place. It didn't move forward any further.
He Li looked and judged, "Sir, the talisman is spinning in place. There should be a place similar to a divine country below."
They had long judged that the most likely place for the God Revival Society to hide was in some realm similar to a divine country. This kind of realm could only be entered through a special route. After the talisman locked their aura, it could only help them find this place. It couldn't break through the obstacles and enter.
Ban Lan looked down and said, "It's enough to be able to reach here."
He Li said, "Sir, shall we go in?"
Ban Lan decisively said, "No, there's no need to go in. Just throw a Xuan Weapon."
He Li was startled and hesitated. "Will it blow up the person we're looking for?"
Ban Lan said indifferently, "It's just a greeting. If a weak Xuan Weapon can break this place open or kill this person, then it means that this person is of little value. It's useless even if we find him."
He Li cupped his hands, and a moment later, a gap appeared in the lower abdomen of the flying boat, and a little starlight fell down.
In the misty land below, separated from the real world, the world was filled with bright light. In the warm river, young men and women wearing flower crowns were playing and floating. Colorful flower petals drifted along with the river. Canoes were piled with plump fruits, and on the riverside were grand and exquisite palaces.
Under the palace corridor, there were gods walking back and forth. They were all dressed in ancient robes. Their steps were relaxed and vigorous, full of an auspicious aura.
On a circular corridor inside the palace, a well-built man with a golden circlet on his head and a long staff in his hand was talking to a man wearing a half-mask in a low voice.
The man said, "I've said this many times. I'm very grateful to the messenger of the High God for waking us up from our long slumber. But now we need more support. Only by waking our king can we make a decision."
The masked man said, "I've also said that it requires too many sacrifices. Only if you agree to our conditions can we give more support."
Similar conversations had been held several times before, but the man was willing to make another breakthrough today. He said cautiously, "But we also saw the destruction of those divine countries. Even the Ipar was destroyed. We don't want to fight against the god Tianxia. Can you change your conditions?"
The masked man insisted, "I woke you up in the hope of getting what I need in return. I only hope that you can fulfill the covenant fairly."
The man said solemnly, "We will always remember the covenant before the Calamity Era. Although you woke us up, we also protected you."
The masked man looked at him and said, "What do you have to be afraid of? The Supreme Breath has appeared once again. The ancient gods will definitely return. Your King of Gods has already made a prophecy about this. Now that the sky and the earth are waiting for a new master, it's time for you to stand up. "
The man said cautiously, "Although the Supreme Breath has appeared, the ancient gods' mortal bodies in the prophecy have yet to be seen. Without the bodies of the ancient gods, the ancient gods have yet to return. It's useless to rely on us alone. Furthermore, we know that you have always been defeated in the battle against the god Tianxia. You have never won.
Now that the god Tianxia has become the master, before they come down from the position of master, we can't resist them, nor are we willing to resist them. "
The masked man sneered, "The god Tianxia has been eradicating your believers and destroying the temples of the gods. You think you are safe, but that's only because they haven't come yet. It doesn't mean that they won't come in the future. Do you want to see your believers and sacrifices being taken away?"
The man said, "But they haven't come yet, so we don't want to make a decision so soon."
At this time, his face suddenly changed. He raised the scepter in his hand, and a dazzling white light flashed. Then, there was a muffled thunder-like sound, and the whole divine kingdom shook because of it.
The masked man glanced at it, and his eyes were full of shock. His eyes turned a few times, and he turned to the man and said, "This is the artifact of the god Tianxia. I have already said that the god Tianxia will not let you go."
The man looked at him suspiciously and said, "But how did the god Tianxia know that we are here?"
Just when the masked man was about to speak, the man raised the scepter and said, "I will ask them this question. Messenger, please stay here."
Hearing the rumbling sound of footsteps, two divine guards who were half a body taller than the two of them came up and pressed the masked man on the left and right. He stared at the man for a moment, and when he saw the determination in his eyes, he said coldly, "You will regret it."
The man didn't say anything else to him. He gestured at him and brought him away. Then, with a flash of golden light, he turned into a white noble bird with a golden ring on its head. It had gorgeous tail feathers and bright red wings. When it spread its wings, it rushed out of the boundary. When it saw the flying boat, it folded its wings and landed on the protruding part of the bow of the boat.
He Li looked at the divine bird and said, "Mister, they have received the call."
The white bird said cautiously, "Respected god Tianxia, we have not harmed you or your believers in any way. Why are you attacking us?"
He was speaking in the Tianxia language.
Over the years, the Eastern Court Prefecture had been dealing with the indigenous tribes in the forest and displayed great power. Therefore, these indigenous tribes and gods all saw Tianxia as an extremely powerful divine nation, a new ruler of the world. Naturally, the Tianxia language was something that these EsGods had to learn.
Ban Lan looked at the white bird and said, "We need a person. He is with you. Give him to us, and we will leave."
The white bird thought for a moment and shook its head. "This is not enough."
Ban Lan smiled and said, "Then what do you want?"
The white bird said cautiously, "We know the greatness of the god Tianxia. We are willing to offer our loyalty to the ruler, and we only hope that the ruler can grant us the status we deserve."
He Li sneered. "What right do you have to negotiate with us?"
The white bird did not get angry. Instead, it maintained a respectful and not humble attitude. It spread its wings and said, "We can offer a piece of news to the great ruler to show our sincerity."
His eyes became more solemn as he spoke in the spiritual language in a half-chanting tone, "The ancient god first awoke from the sea. When He stepped onto the shore, the sun was His crown, the moonlight was His cloak, the grassland was His royal carpet, and His shadow covered the mountains and rivers …"
At the same time as it said this, boundless dark clouds surged over from the outer sea of the Dongting Prefecture. The day suddenly turned into an incomparably dusky darkness, and the fierce winds pushed the waves towards the shore in waves.
Xuan Zheng Cui Yue was patrolling the sea in a flying boat. He looked at the sudden change in the sky and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
However, when he carefully sensed it, the dark clouds dissipated as quickly as they came. The sky shone on the sea again, and the sea slowly returned to its calmness.
However, he felt that the situation was extremely abnormal.
Just as he was thinking, a disciple walked over and handed over a document. "Xuan Zheng, the reports from the various parties have arrived about the item that the Heavenly Secret Workshop provided."
Cui Yue took the document and flipped through it. He saw that whether it was the soldiers or the cultivators, they all agreed that the item from the Heavenly Secret Workshop was very useful. With this item, once the spiritual creatures in the sea approached, they would immediately be prepared in advance and would not have to be on guard like before. However, there would always be oversights.
Cui Yue put the document into his sleeve and said, "Since the item is good, it will be beneficial to distribute it."
The disciple cupped his fists and said yes.
Cui Yue looked at the surface of the sea. Although this thing had greatly reduced the burden of defense, he didn't feel that it would allow them to relax. As Xuan Zheng, he could see from the reports from various places that more and more mystical creatures were appearing in the sea.
In the distant sea, some people saw a monster that was more than ten miles long. It really floated on the water like an island, and when it swam, it could make deafening sounds.
These creatures posed a serious threat to the islands in the sea. The only reason they weren't seen here was that the East Court's Heaven's Chance Institute had released a dozen or so creator-level wyrms in the sea to temporarily curb their momentum.
However, he felt that this was only the beginning. The current situation was still manageable. What he was most worried about was the appearance of gods and monsters with superior power. If that happened, the sea route that was being actively built would not be preserved. If another strong turbid tide was set off and isolated the continents, the Eastern Court might repeat the scene of being isolated in the sea.
