Chapter 1145: Chapter 390: Celestial Master Lei’s Three Swords (Quadruple Chapter)

"Why does the ritual just now feel somewhat strange?"

Standing beside Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang frowned.

Lei Jun’s brow also furrowed: "...blood sacrifice?"

Xu Yuanzhen’s expression remained unchanged: "It is indeed a blood sacrifice."

Tang Xiaotang was somewhat surprised: "Are they in league with those evil cultists from the Netherworld?"

Lei Jun: "Seeing us as invaders, and themselves as leaders organizing the Middle People of Great Unity to resist and counter foreign invasions, some things seem to become necessary sacrifices and costs.

As for what exactly we are here to do, and whether the people of Great Unity agree to sacrifice for them, it becomes a side issue."

He looked blankly at the world shrouded in smoke and flames before him: "Generally, one can understand their way of thinking, but... it truly stretches one’s patience."

Tang Xiaotang: "While the great families on the side of the Great Tang are detestable, they’ve never gone to such lengths."

"The Five Prestiges have taken root and established themselves in Great Unity for many years, being hailed as the dominators from the very start, with both the Emperor of this realm and the mortal world under their command. Their way of thinking about certain matters inevitably differs from the external world."

Lei Jun said to Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, "Senior Sisters, allow me to proceed to the Void Gateway connecting the world of the Great Han and Great Unity to make some arrangements."

Xu Yuanzhen: "Very well."

Tang Xiaotang looked at the smoke-filled world ahead and sneered: "Just as I wanted, this round it’s like closing the door to hit the dog!"

Although Lei Jun said he would proceed first, she had already taken a step forward, leaping off the small boat: "Lei Jun, go as you please, but I won’t wait for you. I’ll start in Great Unity first!"

"May the Little Senior Sister achieve swift victory." As Lei Jun spoke, his eyes simultaneously rotated with the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript.

As the taliscript circulated, an invisible force connected with the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror he had left in the world of the Great Tang.

The Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror hovered above the heavens of the Great Tang’s mortal world, its mirror light flowing quietly, subtly, as if formless and traceless.

Yet, the seemingly illusory and ethereal mirror light now seemingly pierced through the layers of Void Realms and illuminated within Great Unity.

Under the shift of the mirror light, the scenes within Great Unity were presented, even penetrating the layers of smoke and flames to reach distant places.

Obstructed by the Void Realm, Lei Jun was unable to observe the scenes within Great Unity while in the world of the Great Tang.

But now, as he was personally within Great Unity, utilizing the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript, he successfully established a connection with the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror.

Even though the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror was left in the world of the Great Tang, with the assistance of treasures like the Miluo Shiwen Jade and Cosmic Starlight refined together, Lei Jun could observe the comprehensive distant scenes within Great Unity.

By integrating and comparing the correspondences intercepted from places like the Great Unity’s Forest Clan and Fang Clan, Lei Jun, observing the terrain of Great Unity, quickly gained insights.

"The ancestral land of the Five Prestiges, the Jingxiang Fang Clan is currently suffering from smoke and flames; they can be temporarily ignored."

Lei Jun indicated the basic directions to Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang: "The Lin Clan should be over there, the Xiao Clan here, then further to the southern area is where the Han Clan Ancestral Land is located, going downstream leads to the Su Clan Ancestral Land’s location, oh, right, and the nominal Imperial Capital is over there."

"Didn’t you mention before that the top expert in Great Unity currently is from the Youzhou Forest Clan?"

Tang Xiaotang laughed aloud, transformed into a stream of light, and darted towards the direction of the Forest Clan Ancestral Land: "I’ll challenge him first!"

The words were still in the air as she had already vanished into the distant horizon.

Xu Yuanzhen, indifferent, remarked: "The Lin, Fang, and Xiao are about the same, but the Han and Su Clans, having declined for many years in the mortal world, surprisingly still retain a branch in Great Unity. I’ll go take a look."

As she spoke, she also left the small boat, black thunderclouds floating in the air, seemingly leisurely, but also instantly moving far away.

After bidding farewell to Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun similarly put away the small boat and then donned his Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat, his figure disappearing into the world of Great Unity.

.........

Great Unity Fang Clan Ancestral Land, Qingliang Plains.

At present, it was a scene of devastation.

A vast amount of smoke poured into it, seemingly solidifying completely, sealing off the Fang Clan Ancestral Land located here.

The classical texts and cultural rituals of the Great Unity Fang Clan trace their origins to the Jingxiang Fang Clan of the Great Tang, which in turn shares its roots with the Jingxiang Fang Clan of the Great Han.

Although various factors such as history over time and the environment of Great Unity caused some differences between the Fang Clan of Great Unity and the Fang Clan of Jingxiang in the Great Tang, the overarching direction remained consistent.

Alongside the construction of the ancestral foundation and the accumulation of its Cultural Pulse, it was largely the same.

In the mortal world, the Fang Clan dominates the region of Jingxiang, a nexus of Jiuzhou, where earth veins converge, facilitating access via land and water in all directions.

Its ancestral foundations’ construction forms an evident characteristic.

Enduring yet accessible throughout Jiuzhou, it even involves considerable depth in the marvelous nuances of the void.

When attacked by strong enemies, it can hold its ground.

Alternatively, if the situation becomes genuinely critical, the Fang Clan of Jingxiang can utilize the ancestral lands to relocate and escape, to evade strong enemies, sacrificing territory to preserve the people.

However, earlier in the mortal world of the Great Tang, the clan chief Fang Jingsheng led many experts from the clan, together with the Treasure of the Clan, the Spring and Autumn Brush, to the Imperial Capital Luoyang, only to get trapped in the Illusory Imperial Capital.

Then Zhang Hui invited them into a trap. Using the prior connection of the Cultural Pulse of the three great families’ ancestral lands with the Mountain River Dragon Vein to resist against Prince Zhao, Youzhou Forest Clan, and Cangzhou Ye Clan, Zhang Hui instead seized the opportunity to explode the three great families’ ancestral lands.

Poor Jingxiang Fang Clan’s ancestral land didn’t even get a chance to exhibit its unique feature of being accessible throughout Jiuzhou before being utterly destroyed.

Even worse, with the pulling of the spiritual energies, it also harmed those who remained in the ancestral land, like Fang Huansheng and Fang Zhu.

By the time Shangguan Yunbo led his team from Luoyang to Jingxiang, what lay before him was nearly a defenseless Fang Clan Ancestral Land.
