Chapter 1042: Chapter 369: Comprehension Ascends Again, Natural Levels (Ten-Thousand Character Chapter)

Of course, the difficulty is still extremely high.

Given the threat of the Great Demons on the Snowy Plateau and the existence of the Inner Mount Shu lineage in the Netherworld, the Mount Shu Sect cannot widely mobilize their people to search.

Therefore, only the High Merit Elder Ye Dongming set off after organizing some clues.

Sect Leader Zhang Taigang and Supreme Elder Xu Duan, along with the treasured Purple Azure Twin Swords and the South Bright Separation Fire Cauldron, remained at the Summit of Mount Shu and did not venture out.

Currently, the Netherworld Gate has not opened, and the Snowy Region Sky Eagle has not appeared. Although unrest is brewing all around, the situation still allows the Mount Shu Sect to first attempt to retrieve their Qingxiao Manor.

With Qingxiao Manor returned to the mountain, the foundation of Mount Shu would be much steadier, which would be beneficial to the overall situation.

"Sect Leader, regarding the Taiyi Primordial Tower?" Yuan Mobai inquired about another lost treasure of Mount Shu.

Lei Jun shook his head: "The feeling is faint."

Yuan Mobai nodded gently.

Back then, in order to find Huang Xuanpu, Lei Jun had mastered some clues about the Taiyi Primordial Tower and successfully discovered this treasure.

But this treasure also attracted the Western White Emperor from the Ming Realm.

Ultimately, during the confrontation between both parties, the Taiyi Primordial Tower spontaneously broke through the void, its whereabouts unknown.

Most of the related clues Lei Jun held have dispersed, requiring a renewed search.

However, after years of accumulation, Lei Jun faintly feels that the Taiyi Primordial Tower, a special void treasure, might have already flowed out of the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

At that time, many void portals were opening in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

The Taiyi Primordial Tower, with its unique function, hidden in invisibility, might have left this world.

Currently, Yuan Mobai was actually asking Lei Jun if there was any sense of the Taiyi Primordial Tower flowing back into the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

"Then for now, we can only wish the Mount Shu Sect friends success in retrieving Qingxiao Manor." Yuan Mobai said.

.........

Nanzhao, Red Tea Ridge.

The Netherworld Gate here has always been relatively stable, unlike other void portals which are turbulent.

But now, this void portal silently opened.

This place was initially sealed by the Inner Mount Shu lineage from the Netherworld.

Therefore, it was less influenced by the Tang’s interference.

Conversely, the current initiative to reopen it by the Inner Mount Shu lineage is less challenging.

Rolling gray mist rises from within.

Silhouettes are faintly seen within the gray mist.

Personnel from both the Tang Imperial Family and the Mount Shu Sect were stationed here for monitoring.

Upon witnessing the void portal opening, they did not stay long and immediately withdrew.

With many experts from the Inner Mount Shu in Netherworld, those stationed here could not possibly resist.

The Tang’s administration is currently unable to station personnel for long-term monitoring.

Thus, the sole task of the monitors is to immediately report any disturbances.

In this way, the administration can arrange to gather experts to confront the situation.

The Inner Mount Shu is well aware of this.

However, given the rare opportunity, they decisively set off.

"The so-called Tang Imperial Dynasty in this realm indeed shows signs of decline in national fate."

The Mount Shu Sect’s current highest elder, Li Linsnow, with eyes closed, expanded Mortal Dust Qi from the Mahayana of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Refinement Sect to perceive the surroundings, quickly drawing a conclusion.

"Ghost King" Zonghan’s Walking Corpses stood calmly beside them, replying: "There has been no activity from the Jiuli in Earth Sea; if they also take action, it might be better."

Inner Mount Shu Sect Leader Ji Yao stood with hands behind, the treasured Banner of Ten Thousand Souls beside him: "Some things cannot wait any longer."

He shook the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Black mist swirled around the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, while a middle-aged Taoist’s silhouette appeared.

"Ghost King" Zonghan found the figure unfamiliar.

Not a current-era Mount Shu Sect practitioner.

Thinking of the various functions of the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, Zonghan roughly guessed a few things.

"The treasure known as Qingxiao Manor indeed shows signs of reappearing."

Upon reaching the mortal realm, Ji Yao and Li Linsnow felt more certain than before when they were in the Netherworld.

Qingxiao Manor is a treasure forged by previous Mount Shu Sect elder Li Ke of the Great Tang and preserved to this day.

Ji Yao’s Banner of Ten Thousand Souls could not capture Li Ke’s Evil Soul.

Currently, the middle-aged practitioner in the black mist, expressionless and lifeless, was Li Ke’s direct disciple, and also a former elder of the Great Tang Mount Shu Sect, named Shi Chunbin.

After Li Ke’s passing, Qingxiao Manor was warmed and nurtured by Shi Chunbin.

Through the Evil Soul of Shi Chunbin, Ji Yao and Li Linsnow sensed something.

"The Sumi Vajra Division has been wiped out, the Tang Imperial Family wounded after a major battle with the Solitary Eagle Khanate, and how is the Celestial Master Mansion of Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Li Linsnow asked Zonghan.

Zonghan: "Following the battle with the Sumi Vajra Division, the Celestial Master Lei Jun was injured, recuperating at Dragon Tiger Mountain; the Tang’s National Master Tang Xiaotang is abroad subduing demons, the other Mahayana of the Ninth Heavenly Layer High Immortal Xu Yuanzhen has entered the legendary Penglai."

Li Linsnow looked at the Inner Mount Shu Sect Leader Ji Yao: "This realm’s Mount Shu is weakened, yet might be at the center of where the Tang Imperial Family gathers remaining forces for reinforcement. Meanwhile, Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Celestial Master Mansion is similarly hollow."

During the battle in Bashu and Nanzhao, the Inner Mount Shu lineage lost many experts, including High Merit Elder Taoist Kong An, led by him.

Among them, Taoist Kong An was slain by previous Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang.

The opponent further injured the White Bone Divine Boat, resulting in the Inner Mount Shu’s prolonged efforts in warming and repairing.

Ji Yao: "Neither going to Mount Shu nor Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Our objectives this trip are threefold.

First, the treasure known as Qingxiao Manor.

Second, personnel.

Third, high-level Great Demons.

As for the rest, we shall decide later, depending on circumstances."

Though Taoist Kong An fell before the sword of Tang Xiaotang at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Ji Yao remained composed at this moment.

Following the previous battles, although the Sumi Vajra Division is gone, Ji Yao plans not to directly strike against the Tang Imperial Family.

Even if action is to be taken, as Zonghan noted, it would be better to wait until other regions like Earth Sea Jiuli, East Sea Heavenly Principle, and North Sea Luo Yuan show activity before hunting the Tang together.

For now, ensuring Qingxiao Manor and other presences are safely secured is paramount.

He nodded to a nearby Inner Mount Shu High Merit Elder.

The elder then handed a Miniature Bag to the Walking Corpses of "Ghost King" Zonghan.

Zonghan thanked them and promptly left.

Looking at the contents inside the Miniature Bag, he felt a slight heat of excitement.

On another front, Inner Mount Shu Sect Leader Ji Yao instructed Li Linsnow: "Tian shall remain in the Netherworld; I will retrieve Qingxiao Manor; here, Master Uncle will shoulder the burden."

Li Linsnow, along with a group of Inner Mount Shu practitioners behind her, responded in unison.
