Chapter 1137: Chapter 388: Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Great Han (Double-Chapter)_2

Complaining the special effects aren’t flashy enough... Lei Jun couldn’t help but laugh.

He shook his head and said, "Little Senior Sister, you don’t need to dwell on that. Lots of sound and light doesn’t necessarily mean the power is fierce. Whether it’s terrifying or not mainly depends on who you hit, and what the other side turns into after it lands."

Tang Xiaotang said, "Of course I understand that. But if we can have both at once, that’d be perfect."

Lei Jun said, "We’ve got plenty of time ahead of us."

The two sat facing each other and exchanged pointers on cultivation in Divine Skills and Taoist Laws.

Unlike earlier on the East Sea, their sparring now was more about the joy of discussion.

Both of them were people with exceptional cultivation and insight; even when they were just chatting, the various keys to cultivation embedded in their casual words would be enough to leave other listeners dazzled and entranced.

After exchanging on Taoist Laws, Lei Jun then casually chatted with Tang Xiaotang about the various pieces of information he’d received earlier.

Everything else was fine, but when she heard that Zhang Hui had successfully cultivated the Confucian Sect’s Ninth Heavenly Layer, the All-Under-Heaven Realm, Tang Xiaotang’s lips twitched slightly.

"I remember he should be fifty-three this year, right?" Tang Xiaotang asked.

Lei Jun answered, "Yeah, eighteen years younger than me, sixteen years younger than you."

He understood Tang Xiaotang very well; just by looking at her expression and listening to her tone, he could roughly guess what she was thinking.

Zhang Hui’s age upon achieving the Ninth Heavenly Layer was even one year younger than Tang Xiaotang’s.

And he possessed extremely superior Innate Root Bone and insight.

Compared to Lei Jun and Chu Kun, who both improved their Root Bone and insight later in life, Tang Xiaotang’s mind was more on those cultivators who, like her, had outstanding conditions innately.

It was just that National Master Tang’s own Root Bone Talent had now risen another level, so her thoughts in this regard had faded a lot.

"How is Senior Sister doing over in the Great Ming Realm?" Tang Xiaotang suddenly recalled.

Lei Jun said, "Senior Sister will be returning before long. She’s currently not in the Great Ming Realm."

Tang Xiaotang laughed and said, "Now that she’s achieved the Universe Immortal Body, there really aren’t many places she can’t go anymore."

Lei Jun nodded slightly. "Yes. She broke the boundary between the Great Ming Realm and another Mortal World—that same Mortal World whose Void Gateway she opened before in the Southern Wildernes Lands of the Great Ming Realm, and which once had a brief clash with the Ming Dynasty."

Tang Xiaotang said, "Oh? What’s the story over there?"

Lei Jun said, "According to Senior Sister, its historical era is about six hundred years ahead of ours. Right now there is no unified Human Realm Dynasty, but rather numerous small countries constantly warring and replacing one another. The situation is extremely chaotic and bloody."

Lei Jun paused slightly, then said, "It’s quite similar to the previous situation with the Witchcraft Sect in the Southern Wildernes, but on a much larger scale."

How should he put it?

He had a strong sense of déjà vu listening to it.

Like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms or something...

Tang Xiaotang, on the other hand, was curious: "I heard that world is dominated by Martial Artists?"

Lei Jun said, "Martial Artists hold sway there. Buddha and Wu are common; the Confucian Sect and Taoist Sect aren’t mainstream over there, at least not at present."

Tang Xiaotang thought of something. "About six hundred years more of history than we have? The Confucian Sect isn’t mainstream, then what about those Five Clans and Seven Families?"

Lei Jun said, "After more than a hundred years of bloody slaughter and war, in that Mortal World, the Five Clans and Seven Families have already become history."

His mood was faintly complicated at this moment.

Born from the fourth Dark Radiance hidden star of the Dark Side of the Celestial Book—Purple Qi—this was enough to make one both laugh and cry.

Flowing along the earth veins, the Purple Qi Star had earlier passed through the Great Tang’s Mountain and River Ley Lines and entered what was once Heavenly Principle and is now Guicang.

Then, before the Void Gateway between Guicang and the Great Ming Realm completely closed, the Purple Qi Star again followed the Global Spiritual Qi Flow into the Great Ming Realm.

Well, even in Great Ming it still couldn’t settle down and find a master suitable for it.

In the end, as it kept drifting along, it actually went one step further, following the Portal Xu Yuanzhen had opened and entered that Mortal World currently embroiled in multi-country warfare.

It’s just unknown whose hands this Purple Qi Star will ultimately fall into.

As for why Xu Yuanzhen left the Great Ming Realm and detoured to another Mortal World—

It was because the "show" she wanted to watch in the Great Ming Realm had basically wrapped up.

For example, the Little Ming Court had already been completely destroyed and become history.

Tang Xiaotang asked again, "How are things over in Great Unity at the moment?"

Lei Jun said, "Across the Void Realm between the Mortal World and Great Unity, the written information we can intercept is intermittent and fragmented."

The relatively valuable news is that both the Great Han imperial court and Great Han Dragon Tiger Mountain have, in succession, sent people to Great Unity to meet with the Clan Chiefs of several great families.

"And the Dongyang Mountain man’s other residence seems vaguely stirred as well."

Lei Jun said, "I imagine they’ve sensed that, due to the relics left by the Dongyang Mountain man, the Tang Dynasty Human Realm and the world of the Han people once briefly connected directly."

If they can link the world of the Han people directly with the Tang Dynasty Human Realm without going through Great Unity, then all the great prestigious families within Great Unity can simply sit back and observe the changes.

When Tang Xiaotang heard this, her brows immediately lifted a little. "I remember you said you wanted to research us taking the initiative to go make a trip to Great Unity. How’s that research coming along?"

Lei Jun said, "We already have some clues. Once Senior Sister returns, we’ll set out together."

Xu Yuanzhen’s interest in Great Unity itself actually isn’t that great.

What she’s truly interested in is the Great Han Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion.

.........

At the same time, within Great Unity—

The Clan Chief of the Xiao Family, Xiao Jing, wore a serene expression. "I’ll make a trip to the world of the Han people to meet that Crown Prince. As for all the various matters here in Great Unity, I’ll be troubling you, brother-in-law."

The middle-aged Scholar standing before her was one of the Five Prestiges of Great Unity, the current Clan Chief of the Han Clan, Han Tian.

Among the Five Prestiges of Great Unity, the Han Clan and Xiao Clan interact relatively often, with frequent marriages between them.

On major affairs, the two sides likewise often speak with one voice.

Given Great Unity’s special situation at present, facing a common threat, the five great clans are, while wary of one another, also supporting one another and cooperating in this rare instance.
