Chapter 1164: Chapter 392: Great Tang’s Dragon Crossing the River (Double-Length Chapter)

Moreover, Ji Daocheng was not the only Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator in the history of the Great Han Dragon Tiger Mountain; the length of history of this Great Han mortal realm is similar to that of the Great Tang on the other side. It has been several thousand years since the tumultuous era at the end of the Han dynasty, when human paths diverged, during which Dragon Tiger Mountain produced more than one Ninth Heavenly Layer Mahayana High Immortal.

Previously, Huang Xuanpu made use of the talisman decree and inheritance left by the Shangguan Fu Charm Sect to lay the foundation for the Mortal Tao Country.

But at that time, when Huang Xuanpu bestowed the talisman decree, it could only enhance Rong Guangchen, Hong Jie, Fu Dongsen, and other Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivators, unable to enhance those like Huang Xuanpu himself in the Ninth Heavenly Layer, let alone directly create a Ninth Heavenly Layer Mahayana High Immortal of the Talisman Sect.

However, the Great Han Dragon Tiger Mountain can.

And it is not a solitary example in history.

This proves they are indeed the legitimate inheritors of the ancient Talisman Sect, proving that there must be a presence that has ascended beyond the Ninth Heavenly Layer, having reached Cavern Mystery Ascension, to grant them the talisman.

Even if what was granted was not the anciently transmitted Three Cavern True Scriptures talisman.

The key question now is, in recent years, facing provocation and advancement from Great Void Temple and the Sumeru Treasure Department, the Great Han Dragon Tiger Mountain has not provided the powerful response expected.

Of course, Dragon Tiger Mountain has not suffered great losses, but it feels less formidable than anticipated.

However, according to Ma Zongxiang’s clear attitude, it seems like they have received higher-level instructions.

Amidst this contradictory situation, Lei Jun is somewhat perplexed.

"Did you hold the person on the other side?" Tang Xiaotang asked.

Lei Jun: "Yes, it was a rather risky move."

Yet, the light orb in my mind did not provide any forewarning signs.

Lei Jun did not feel assured, thinking he could act recklessly without concern.

Perhaps it was just not the right time, place, or person.

"Is Senior Sister over there?" Tang Xiaotang was not concerned that Lei Jun was taking a risk, instead he was rather enthusiastic: "I’ll go take a look too, at that Xiao Clan Ancestral Land, you get busy."

With that, she waved at Lei Jun, fully retracted the Pure Yang Realm, and transformed into a stream of light, flying away to the distance.

Lei Jun smiled as he watched Tang Xiaotang leave, then proceeded to contact the Celestial Master Mansion of the Great Tang Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Hui guarding the entrance to the Great Tang’s Void Gateway, and aspects of the Tang Imperial Court.

Later, the Celestial Master Mansion of the Great Tang Dragon Tiger Mountain arrived at Great Unity, led by High Merit Elder Chu Kun and Zhang Jingzhen.

Traveling with them were also members from the Tang Imperial Court, led by Chu Yu, their number relatively limited.

"The Emperor’s decree is that for matters in Great Unity, please let Celestial Master Lei and Celestial Master Tang decide."

Chu Yu stated: "Our main purpose here is to organize various academic texts and documents of Great Unity’s Five Prestiges, and request the Celestial Masters for facilitation."

Lei Jun: "Wenhua’s widespread transmission to all people is truly a grand event in the mortal realm. I, along with my sect, are delighted to see it come to fruition."

Chu Yu nodded: "With today’s grand occasion, the Celestial Master’s contributions are noteworthy."

During the battle in Luoyang, Chu Xiuyuan perished at Lei Jun’s hands.

Chu Yu had long been aware of this.

Facing Lei Jun now, there was no visible awkwardness on her face.

As Chu Xiuyuan said that day, when they, father and daughter, meet face to face under permissible circumstances, the other side might survive, being spared and kept alive.

Between rival factions, if one clashes and meets their end in someone else’s hands, it’s fate; the living bear no grievance.

Had it not been decided long ago, why did Chu Yu leave Suzhou initially?

Now facing Lei Jun, Lei Jun could see the fluctuation in her mood, but her gaze remained clear.

He would not bring up any related matters.

Just like during the battle in Luoyang when he spoke with Chu Xiuyuan, Suzhou’s Chu Clan was Suzhou’s Chu Clan, and Chu Yu was Chu Yu.

In this regard, people differ.

Chu Yu, Chu Kun, that is.

Fang Yue, that is.

Fang Jian similarly.

In a way, Chu Xiuyuan’s arrangements at that time succeeded; not counting Chu Yu, there are still Chu Kun, Chu Andong, and others.

The bloodline of the Suzhou Chu Clan will not be extinguished.

Nevertheless, though the Chu clan remains, the Suzhou Chu Clan, once one of Five Clans and Seven Families, in the Great Tang will eventually become history.

Including the Chu Clan and Fang Clan, the aristocratic families of Great Tang fall, their cultural pulse severed, yet alongside the spread of numerous Confucian classics, a new cultural pulse is gradually forming within the realm of Great Tang.

Widely scattered, deeply embedded.

In recent years, the cultural influence among Great Tang’s populace has been even greater.

This time, the Five Prestiges in Great Unity also become history.

Their various literary and academic texts will mostly be transported back to the Tang Dynasty mortal realm.

However, a significant portion will remain in Great Unity.

The population here is considerable, even surpassing Sumi and other places, not beneath the apex of Guicang; even if it does not compare to a true mortal realm, it is still quite impressive.

"The Emperor has learned of the local populace’s feelings here?" Lei Jun inquired to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded.

The Empress’s decree authorized Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang to fully handle matters in Great Unity. Hearing this, Lei Jun already had a general understanding of the Empress’s inclination.

This coincidentally aligns with his thoughts: "I wish to request the Empress’s decree, to preserve the sixteen feudal territories here, allowing those called ’Kings and Emperors’ to continue being honored by the sixteen nations."

This place differs from the Tang Dynasty mortal realm, perhaps allowing a different development.

Or perhaps, some new attempts can be made.

Of course, it is generally said that the sixteen nations remain unchanged, but various specific details will change a lot in the future.

Setting aside others, this would require considerable human resources.

Lei Jun has no intention to have Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion take complete control.

Neither he personally aims for this.

"Master Chu, I have one matter to inquire about." Lei Jun is currently focused on another aspect.

Chu Yu: "Please speak, Celestial Master."

Lei Jun: "Is Layman Xiao Yumen still alive currently?"

Mister Gucheng Xiao Yumen, father of Xiao Hang, Xiao Chunhui, and Xiao Xueting, is the foremost expert of the Xiao Clan in the Longwai region, many decades ago reaching the Eighth Heavenly Layer Perfection Realm as a Great Scholar, renowned as one of those in the Tang Imperial Dynasty with the most potential to reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
