Taoist Xian Ding didn't want to confront Tianxia head-on, so he said, "Tianxia is powerful, and we can't resist him now. But Fellow Daoist in Shangchen has been saying that he has found a suitable place for us to hide. Why haven't you confirmed its location yet?"
Li Mishen said, "The person in charge of the Cymbidium Lucidum in Shangchen is just a junior. Although he has the help of Elder Ying, he is not as good as Guyang and the other two Fellow Daoists. It's already good that he can find it. And now it's not suitable to take it away. It's better to deal with Tianxia first."
Taoist Xian Ding frowned and said, "I don't know how determined Tianxia is this time. If he is really testing me this time, it's okay. If he is determined to force me, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future."
Li Mishen stroked his beard and said, "I don't think Tianxia really wants to fight with me this time."
In fact, he had the same judgment as Ying Chong. This time, Tianxia simply needed to find an external enemy.
If so, it was actually in line with the current situation. He could create an enemy to prevent himself from falling into depravity, and he didn't need to completely destroy them. He only needed to set off a confrontation from time to time.
In fact, if this judgment ignored Yuan Xia, it was not wrong.
How many years had it been since the battle between the two sides? No matter how he looked at it, Tianxia didn't need to rush to fight with them now. Even if Tianxia wanted to do so, they couldn't fight with him. They would only try to avoid him. Tianxia couldn't not understand this.
He said, "In short, we should prepare to retreat first. As for what happens after, we'll see how the situation changes. "
Taoist Xian Ding said, "We still need to urge Shangchen."
Li Mishen shook her head and said, "We don't need to do it. People in Huanyang school are used to being bad guys and they are happy to be bad guys. Let them be the bad guys."
In the airspace of Shangchen, Ying Chong was waiting for news. He already knew that Xian Ding and Li Mizhen had been summoned by Guan Chaosheng for a meeting. In fact, such a meeting was not hidden from them, but they were not allowed to participate. They could only passively accept the result of the meeting.
At this moment, he saw a ray of cloud coming from afar. He couldn't help but look over. Before long, the ray of cloud arrived in front of him. A Daoist cultivator from Huanyang school was standing on it. He cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "Elder Ying, Venerable Master sent me here to ask if the 'Heavenly Branch Essence' of Consecrator Yue is ready?"
Ying Chong also bowed and said, "It is ready. You can take it away at any time."
Now, wherever Huanyang school wanted to go, it needed Cymbidium Lucidum to transport and open. Not only that, it also needed Shangchen to provide Cymbidium Lucidum to refine the 'Heavenly Branch Essence' every month. In fact, this was the maximum limit of exploitation for Shangchen and further limiting their recovery.
The Daoist cultivator said again, "Venerable Master said that Tianxia is here to investigate us. We need to find another place to hide as soon as possible. He hopes that your school can find a suitable place as soon as possible. Therefore, there is no need to consecrator Yue for next month."
Ying Chong said, "Thank you for your understanding, Venerable Master." He raised his hand and a long branch hung down from the sky behind him. There was a ball of green essence on it and it landed in front of the Daoist cultivator. After the Daoist cultivator took it, he seemed to be worried and reminded again, "Venerable Master is very concerned about this matter. Please find a place to hide as soon as possible." After that, he bowed again and left on a cloud.
At this moment, the figure of a young girl who was shining with light appeared above. She said thoughtfully, "Is this the change that Elder Ying mentioned?"
Ying Chong replied, "Yes. The various sects are being oppressed by Tianxia. They have no choice but to let go of the pressure on Shangchen. If Tianxia continues to pressure us, Huanyang school will also let go of more restrictions and even allow us to recover a part of our strength first."
The young girl said, "I thought that under such circumstances, they would choose to squeeze us even more. This is more in line with their style."
Ying Chong said, "With the three Patriarchs around, they won't be able to go overboard in the end. What's more, Huanyang Sect will also have to consider the opinions of Shenzhao and You City during the confrontation."
The young girl said, "Elder Ying, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go into seclusion and try to improve my cultivation as soon as possible."
Ying Chong bowed and said, "Leave it to me."
On the other side, after the two left, Guan Chaosheng stood for a while and decided to start the induction ceremony immediately.
He got down from the rattan throne and appeared on top of an altar in a flash. He walked up and stood in front of a seemingly bottomless hole in the center of the altar.
Although Daoist Shusun told him that the result of his deduction was as he expected, he still felt that there was a chance of failure.
It was not because of anything else, but because he had a high enough estimation of Tianxia. His instincts told him that with Tianxia's abilities, he would not leave him with such an opening.
However, he still insisted on continuing with the induction ceremony, because he believed that even if he failed or something went wrong, he and Huanyang school would be able to bear the consequences and correct them in time. Besides, if he really succeeded, the benefits would be incredibly great. After weighing the pros and cons, it was still worth a try.
At that moment, he stared at the hole. With a thought, the aura above the sun instantly swayed, and the area around him started trembling violently.
To upper-tier Enchanted Vessels like Space Refining and Solar Kalpa, the amount of energy used to activate them could be said to be negligible. All along, the thing that limited the power of Enchanted Vessels was not the Enchanted Vessels themselves, but the people who controlled them.
Normally speaking, Solar Kalpa had three hosts. Only when all three hosts were around would the Enchanted Vessels be able to control most of their power. However, at that moment, he could achieve his goal by paying a certain price. This price mainly came from his own body, but he could make up for it by killing other people.
At that moment, as he activated his supernatural power and Qi, a ray of light gradually lit up in the hole.
The clones of the court enforcers had already arrived in the meeting hall above the sea of clouds.
Chen Yu acted swiftly and decisively. When everyone was gathered, he immediately asked Lin Tingzhi, "Lin Tingzhi, how's the situation on your side?"
Lin Tingzhi said, "With the help of the Enchanted Vessels, I've already found a place to go. That place is a region beyond the world, and it's boundless. I'll need all of you to continue making deductions and investigating it."
Zhong Tingzhi bowed at that moment and said, "The two of us are currently working together with all of you to make deductions. As of now, we've also gained some results. However, we've been disturbed too much, and the Secrets of Heaven are constantly shifting. We'll need more time to confirm it."
Previously, the Enlightened Master from Huanyang school had entered Tianxia's region to investigate. He might not have revealed his origins, but if that person could return to Tianxia, it meant that the Cymbidium Lucidum had at least kept a path that connected them to this world.
Besides, since that person had managed to pass through this path, he was an existence that could be used for deductions.
Tianxia had been fully prepared since the beginning, and he had all sorts of Enchanted Vessels to work with him. As long as there was enough time and the path had not been cut off, they could use this person to go back and find where he truly came from.
However, even though they had found the right direction, it would take a long time. It was like a millstone being pushed forward. If the four factions noticed it and decided to cut off the path, there was a possibility that they would fail.
However, they understood from Chen Yu that there might be a chance that would benefit Tianxia. If it truly came, there was a high possibility that they would be able to find the exact location within a short period of time. They had also made preparations for this.
Chen Yu stood at the head of the hall, and he stared at the void.
Zhang Yu had discussed this plan with him before, but because it involved personal changes in Dao, he did not ask too much. He roughly knew that this was a trick to exploit the enemy's schemes, and then beat them at their own game. If it succeeded, the annihilation of the four factions could be completed in an extremely short period of time. Now, it was up to them to see if the development of the situation was as they wished.
On the Void Warning Star, Daoist Bai Chun saw the talisman in his hand flashing incessantly, and he felt a guiding force from it. He understood that as long as he followed it, he would be able to reach a certain location.
He waved his horsetail whisk, and said to Daoist Xue beside him, "Daoist Xue, I need to leave for a while. You stay here and guard. Xuanting's decree will arrive soon, you need to take note of it."
Daoist Xue immediately responded, "Yes, I understand. Take care, my lord."
Daoist Bai Chun nodded with a smile. This time, he did not resist the guiding force of the talisman. Instead, he allowed the talisman to release a ray of light to cover his entire body, and then he was brought into a light vortex that appeared out of nowhere.
Guan Chaosheng looked ahead, and saw that the light vortex in the void suddenly turned into a light pillar that shot up continuously. After a few breaths, he saw a figure walking out of it.
It was a white-robed Daoist with a handsome face. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand, and stepped on a jade lotus. Wisps of white mist swirled around him, and he looked like an immortal.
Guan Chaosheng could feel that he was slightly similar to Zhang Yu, but he was definitely not Zhang Yu. This was because this Daoist had clearly cultivated the True Skill, but it seemed to be different from ordinary True Skills. He took the initiative to bow his head and asked, "How should I address you, Daoist?"
Daoist Bai Chun smiled, waved his horsetail whisk, and bowed, "I am Bai Chun. Greetings, my lord."
Guan Chaosheng asked, "Do you know me, Daoist Bai Chun?"
Daoist Bai Chun said with a profound tone, "After all, the person I know is the same person as Lord Guan. I also know quite a lot of things he knows."
Guan Chaosheng looked at him and said, "Oh? Is that so? I see that you are slightly different from what I imagined. "
He looked nonchalant on the surface, but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. This was because he could already sense that even though he had successfully brought the person here, Daoist Bai Chun did not seem to need the power of the Solar Kalpa to maintain himself.
He said, "Daoist Bai Chun, you didn't come alone, did you?"
Taoist Bai Zun smiled and raised the horsetail whisk in his hand. With a flash of green light, another person walked out from behind him. It was a tall and straight Taoist in green clothes, holding a jade ruler. He waved his sleeves and cupped his hands respectfully, "Guan Zun, I am Qing Shuo. Greetings."
