Chapter 1166: Chapter 392: Great Tang Crosses the River (Double-Length Chapter)

Previously, the Great Unity only communicated with the world of the Han people.

The Sixteen Kingdoms could seek hope in the Han Imperial Court, but King Zhou found himself in a disadvantageous position.

The Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion of the Han Dynasty had a close relationship with the Great Han Imperial Court.

As for the Great Void Temple, anyone who knows a bit about them would understand that collaboration with them is akin to seeking a tiger’s skin.

There’s no need to mention the Confucian families in the Han world.

Counting them all, the only place left for the capital city of Great Unity’s emperor is:

The Buddhist Sacred Land, Sumeru Treasure Department.

After lengthy and cautious interactions, the two sides secretly established contacts.

Recently, the Sumeru Treasure Department even proposed to summon the son of King Zhou into their sect.

For King Zhou, although it is a legacy of the Buddhist Sect, being able to establish contact with them is undoubtedly the best outcome.

However, before anything could be settled, Great Unity suddenly encountered a great change.

A change of heavens.

The prominent clan reigning over Great Unity for thousands of years vanished into thin air, never to return.

The impact on the people of Great Unity is self-evident.

King Zhou was equally shocked.

In his mind, even if he established contact with the Sumeru Treasure Department, overthrowing them would have been extremely difficult; at best, the struggle between the two powers would provide Great Unity’s other people with more space to maneuver.

And yet, the five prestigious families of Great Unity became history just like that?

After recovering from shock, King Zhou immediately changed his plans.

The son who hadn’t had the chance to visit Sumeru was immediately arranged with various ceremonies, seeking a meeting with the Great Tang Taoist Sect’s true practitioners.

The consequences of reneging and offending the Sumeru Treasure Department, he also foresaw.

However...

"Neither the Sumeru Buddhist Sect nor the Great Tang Taoist Sect is ordinary; any one of them can cause the heavens to overturn with the lift of a hand."

King Zhou calmly said: "But firstly, the Great Tang Taoist Sect now occupies Great Unity, and secondly..."

His close minister beside him understood the unspoken implication.

Secondly, even if the Sumeru Treasure Department were to attack with full force, they may not be able to capture Great Unity guarded by the five prestigious clans.

While the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion of Tang had already effectively swept through and crushed Great Unity’s five prestigious clans.

Regarding the emperor’s family prestige, clearly it is not what needs consideration now.

The Buddhist Sect actively accepts disciples.

On the Taoist side, he approaches them out of necessity.

The latter is undoubtedly more passive.

But on the other hand, its motives are limited.

If successful, King Zhou’s lineage would be more at ease, with fewer future troubles.

"We do not have the luxury of slowly choosing; that is akin to choosing incorrectly." King Zhou calmly said.

Below, the Sixteen Kingdoms are eager to stir.

They will also likely dispatch many offspring, hoping to enter the world of the Great Tang to seek immortality, to study Tao in that revered sacred land that shakes the universe inside and out.

"Time waits for no one."

King Zhou sighed lightly: "Whether success can be achieved, is still unknown!"

.........

"In Great Unity, the people must be deeply unsettled now." ℯ

From the world of the Han people, a group travels a long way from the Imperial Capital Chang’an, heading to Great Unity.

The chief and assistant envoys are conversing.

They have already learned the general situation of the changes within Great Unity.

While the people of Great Unity are restless, the informed ones from the Han world are equally shocked.

"The five prominent clans, five Great Scholars of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, all perished?" The relatively young assistant envoy has a face still showing skepticism: "Did not even one manage to escape?"

The chief envoy, a middle-aged man, glanced at his counterpart: "Yes, five of them, although the Xiao Clan Master of Great Unity was absent, the Fang Clan of Great Unity originally hid a Great Scholar of the Ninth Layer."

The assistant envoy Fang Junmei met his counterpart’s gaze: "The Junior Tutor should not look at the official like this, although both come from the Fang Clan, the Fang Clan of Great Unity and the Fang Clan of Jingxiang have been divided for thousands of years.

Although sometimes they are closely united, the differences are more frequent, and on something like hiding a Great Scholar of the Ninth Layer, the Fang Clan of Great Unity would definitely not leak information to the Fang Clan of Jingxiang.

Moreover..."

He smiled: "This official is loyal to the court, loyal to His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and my family criticizes me a lot; any information won’t be disclosed to me."

As the chief envoy for this mission, the Crown Prince’s Junior Tutor Ouyang Jingyuan said indifferently: "Fang Master, what are you saying? Who in the Great Han isn’t loyal to the court?"

Fang Junmei lowered his head: "The Junior Tutor is right in his admonishments; this official will remember."

Ouyang Jingyuan glanced at the other party.

Beside His Majesty, there are too many such sycophantic villains who not only deceive the Sacred Hearing but also hinder the Crown Prince.

He turned his gaze forward, looking towards the direction of the Great Unity Void Gateway.

However, this villain did say something correct.

The Five Prestiges of Great Unity were so easily crushed?

From what is currently known, it wasn’t an encounter in a neutral place, but the Five Prestiges relied on their ancestral land to fortify themselves, yet were forcibly breached by the so-called Taoist Sect of the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty, leading to the destruction of their families?

The Great Tang Taoist Sect, as the attacking party, won, and in an encounter in a neutral setting, they would only win even more easily.

Moreover, in such a situation, Lin Zheng, Fang Xi, Han Tian, Su Guang, and Fang Xing couldn’t even manage to escape their ancestral land?

Han Tian and Su Guang aside, Lin Zheng is a Great Scholar already at the perfect realm of the Ninth Heavenly Layer and on a smooth ascent to the clouds.

Fang Xi and Fang Xing’s Fang Clan ancestral land has the ability to connect the four corners of Jiuzhou.

Yet, not a single one of these three managed to escape?

When Ouyang Jingyuan first heard the news, he almost thought it was wrong.

The entire Great Tang Imperial Dynasty united with all their experts attacking, achieving such a result?

Ouyang Jingyuan repeatedly confirmed, but the final information indicated that only the members of the Great Tang Taoist Sect appeared.

To be precise, only the experts from the Tang Talisman Sect appeared.

After recovering from the shock, Ouyang Jingyuan calmed himself and, under the Crown Prince’s orders, went to Great Unity to explore the situation.

The Left General of the Great Han, Yin Ming, was trapped there, but fortunately, he was reported to be unharmed for now.

Yet, what exactly is the intention of the Great Tang Taoist Sect and the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty, currently it is hard to be sure.

A fierce dragon crossing the river.

Throughout the Great Han Imperial Dynasty, everyone’s attention was already drawn to Great Unity.

Ouyang Jingyuan and Fang Junmei led the Great Han delegation through the Void Gateway to Great Unity.

With Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen having passed through, Lei Jun had already slowly dissipated the Mahayana Daoist Scene and formations blocking the Void Gateway.

Xu Yuanzhen was disinterested in interacting with Ouyang Jingyuan and Fang Junmei.

Tang Xiaotang, however, was filled with curiosity.

In Lei Jun’s opinion, Little Senior Sister should feel that meeting the Great Han delegation as the National Master of the Great Tang was quite prestigious.

Though she might be somewhat unreliable, having held the positions of Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain and National Master of the Great Tang, she handled major matters effortlessly.

Especially since she found such matters particularly interesting.

In addition, with Chu Yu, an official of the Great Tang, present, Lei Jun was temporarily unconcerned about that side.

When he broke through the ancestral land of the Xiao Clan in Great Unity, he instructed Chu Kun, Zhang Jingzhen, and others to first handle the aftermath within Great Unity.

He glanced through the Five Prestiges’ accumulations.

They were mostly suitable for Confucian cultivators to use for cultivation.

Many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had already been processed with Wenhua Vast Integrity Qi.

However, some items still caught Lei Jun’s attention.

"Senior Brother, is this the Six Dragons Heart Marrow?" Chu Kun curiously looked at the treasure Lei Jun was examining at the moment.

Lei Jun nodded: "Yes, it is indeed the Six Dragons Heart Marrow."

This treasure can be used for the cultivation of both Confucian and Taoist cultivators.

For Confucian cultivators, it serves a certain purpose.

For Taoist cultivators, the most precious effect of the Six Dragons Heart Marrow is its assistance in the daily cultivation of the Great Vehicle High Immortal at the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang are at the fourth and third layers of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, respectively, with relatively high cultivation, making this treasure less helpful for them.

For someone like Lei Jun, who recently achieved the first layer of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, the effect is most pronounced.

"This indeed suits my cultivation quite well." Lei Jun nodded slightly.

After achieving the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm, he spent a significant amount of time crafting magical treasures and cultivating new supernatural spells, which somewhat occupied the time for further refining Mysterious Spirit Primary Qi.

Now, with the assistance of the Six Dragons Heart Marrow, it would help him accumulate Mysterious Spirit Primary Qi more quickly.

With a deep accumulation of Mysterious Spirit Primary Qi, there is hope to refine the Pill Spirit Three Qi, thereby achieving the cultivation realm of the second layer of the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

Thus, it could save some time for Celestial Master Lei, or in other words, compensate him for some time.

"Senior Brother, the preservation here in Great Unity is much better than in Guicang." Chu Kun remarked.

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

Compared to Guicang, previously occupied by the Little Ming Court, the situation along the Great Unity River is indeed much better.

The Spiritual Energy is abundant and surging, and clearly, there are numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Although most have already been harvested and even refined and consumed by the Five Prestiges for their descendants, the number and types of new sprouts are abundant, continually emerging.
