Chapter 1167: Chapter 393: Cave Heavens of the Taiqing Sorcerers (Double-Length Chapter)

Because the Little Ming Court insisted on forcibly establishing the nation’s fortune, the Spiritual Energy in Guicang was consumed quite severely.

Strictly speaking, the current Spiritual Energy can still be called abundant.

But in recent years, the flow of Spiritual Energy within Guicang has already shown a declining trend.

Previously, the Little Ming Court in Guicang was attacked on both sides by the Mortal Worlds of the Great Tang and the Great Ming. To support itself, the Little Ming Court also employed some further depletion tactics.

Therefore, while the Little Ming Court no longer exists now, the trend of Spiritual Energy declining in Guicang has already formed in the short term. It needs quite a few years of recuperation to replenish back.

Of course, compared to many mediocre and barren places in the Mortal World, Guicang situated in the Nine Heavens is still considered a wondrous Immortal Realm with abundant Spiritual Energy.

Especially with many independent Blessed Land Cave Heavens within it, it’s exceptionally favorable for all the practitioners.

It still holds extremely high excavation value today.

And the situation in Great Unity is better than Guicang in this regard.

Besides, the current Spiritual Energy in Great Unity is more abundant itself, and the various medium and small Blessed Land Cave Heavens derived within also present a good posture.

However, right now, the Great Tang cultivators need to clean it up.

After the reversal of the Ironblood Loyal Spirit’s great ritual previously, the rolling smoke rushed back into Great Unity.

Under the interaction of the aurae, apart from the ancestral land of the Five Prestiges being most severely affected, the Spiritual Energy intertwined with the smoke in various larger Blessed Land Cave Heavens.

Lei Jun is currently guiding Chu Kun and others to purify the Blessed Land Cave Heavens, restoring the wondrous scenes of the past.

During this period, Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu have already met the high ministers from the Han Dynasty, Ouyang Jingyuan and Fang Junmei.

Fang Junmei’s surname attracts attention.

"A student from Jingxiang Fang Clan... Hmm, the Han Jingxiang Fang Clan."

Fang Junmei said frankly about it: "However, the clan has long expelled the student from the clan records. To the Han Jingxiang Fang Clan, the student is a disgraceful progeny like a stain."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaotang blinked and looked at Chu Yu next to her, her actions equally undisguised.

Ouyang Jingyuan and Fang Junmei heard the name Chu Yu and likewise had guesses in their hearts, yet their expressions remained normal.

"Thank you both for coming all the way."

Chu Yu also remained unperturbed, smiling: "General Yin will be here soon. Celestial Master Lei and National Master Tang never made things difficult for him. Celestial Master Lei mentioned before that General Yin coming near Great Unity is due to his responsibilities, not surprising, but previously, the dust inside Great Unity hadn’t settled, hence neglecting General Yin."

Ouyang Jingyuan and Fang Junmei both said: "Sect Leader Lei is too courteous."

The Han Dynasty also has a lineage of Celestial Master Mansion at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Moreover, through the years, Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain has mostly had harmonious interactions with the Han imperial family. The Han Emperor favors Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain, making it the pillar of the Sacred Land within Han Dynasty, holding the position like the head of the correct path.

Hence, Ouyang Jingyuan and other Han Ministers wouldn’t call the head of the line of Dragon Tiger Mountain of Great Tang "Celestial Master."

However, they also wouldn’t, in front of Chu Yu and Tang Xiaotang, call the head of Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain line Ji Daocheng "Celestial Master," but rather "Sect Leader Ji."

Lei Jun did not make things difficult for Han’s Left General Yin Ming and his subordinates, making Ouyang Jingyuan partly relieved.

The other half of his concern lies in Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain group like Ma Zongxiang.

"Our emperor is benevolent and loves the people, not the one to blindly wage war. This time, troubling the three real persons of the Celestial Master Mansion is because the Five Prestiges of Great Unity involve a rebellion case from several years ago for our dynasty."

Chu Yu narrates serenely: "There is no grudge between our dynasty and your nation, nor hostility in this matter. It’s just... the lineage of Dragon Tiger Mountain within your nation seems to think otherwise."

Ouyang Jingyuan said slowly: "There must be a misunderstanding here."

Chu Yu smiled: "We hope so too."

Tang Xiaotang rare not speaking, quietly listening at the side.

Yet what she thought was:

Did Senior Sister already head to the Human World of Han?

Later seeing Yin Ming, Ouyang Jingyuan understood Ma Zongxiang’s previous actions clearer, also surprised by them.

Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain taking such a tough stance, are they truly relying on something, or bluffing?

No matter which possibility, Ouyang Jingyuan hopes not to see it.

Although the Han Dynasty has some thoughts about Great Unity, the Great Tang swept through like autumn leaves, quickly ending the battle, instead leaving the Han dynasty officials regretful, halting their ideas.

For them, it can be considered to grasp the opportunity and take a share.

But to risk everything to start a full-scale war with the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty is best avoided.

Currently, within Han Dynasty itself, things are not peaceful.

Seeing the dual-sun looming already seen in the sky, it’s not a good thing for the nation.

Of course, the decision not to open war with Great Tang has its bottom line.

If Great Tang experts cross Great Unity and the Human World of Han on a large scale or formally and enter Han territory, then Han Dynasty will have no choice but to try putting aside and suppressing internal disputes and prepare to fight.

Except, it will unavoidably need to mediate with the Prestigious Families and Sumeru Treasure Department.

Han’s Dragon Tiger Mountain, being both a precious support to the Han Imperial Family and a potential fuse for an all-out war with Great Tang’s Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Ma Zongxiang being detained in Great Unity makes Ouyang Jingyuan have to proceed cautiously.

After hearing about the relevant news, Chu Kun curiously asked:

"It’s said that currently the Crown Prince governs the Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor often stays in the deep palace or imperial palace, rarely appearing.

Now that this Ouyang Shao Fu is Crown Prince Shao Fu, he must be a heavyweight minister of the Eastern Palace, right?"

Lei Jun: "Hmm, his cultivation strength is quite extraordinary, reportedly renowned for his talent in the Han Dynasty since early on."
