Chapter 1170: Chapter 393: Taiqing Sorcerers’ Cave Heavens (Double-Length Chapter)

After hearing the two pieces of news, Lei Jun said he was thoughtful.

He remained in Great Unity, without rashly moving.

After some time, many people entered Great Unity from the direction of the Great Tang mortal world.

The newcomers were all cultivators from the Great Tang.

Further exchanges and communications between Han and Tang dynasties officially began.

The two sides were no longer confined to meeting within Great Unity but began to formally send cultivators to each other’s places.

According to the previous discussion results, in the first batch, the Great Tang side first organized cultivators to go to the Great Han mortal world.

This first batch did not involve the courts of either side.

At the same time, the Celestial Master Mansion of Mount Longhu from Tang, which performed extremely strongly in the Battle of Great Unity, likewise did not send anyone to participate.

This group of Tang cultivators mainly consisted of representatives from other sacred lands of Buddhism and Taoism.

They traveled through Great Unity to the Great Han mortal world, naturally stopping to visit Celestial Master Lei Jun stationed here first.

"Elder Wang, Master Kongjing, Brother Ji, Master Shounian, thank you all for this effort." Lei Jun bid farewell to everyone.

Besides the Celestial Master Mansion, no one from Tianlong Temple set forth either.

It’s not that Abbot Miaoxin, Elder Miaokong, and others were excluding, but because there was currently no Tianlong Temple legacy in the Great Han mortal world.

This Buddhist Vow Lineage sacred land had already vanished from historical records in the Great Han mortal world.

However, Pure Yang Palace, Mount Shu Sect, Xuantian Temple, and Bodhi Temple still have sect succession on the Great Han mortal world side.

Though not as dominant as the Great Han Mount Longhu, Great Han’s Great Sky Temple, and Sumeru Treasure Department, the incense never completely ceased.

Therefore, this time, the Great Tang selected representatives from these four sects first.

"Celestial Master and National Master Tang, Master Xu are truly the ones who are burdened." Elder Wang Xuan of Pure Yang Palace smiled, "We can enjoy the fruits of their labor in this case."

This time, Tang’s Pure Yang Palace legatees visiting the Great Han mortal world were led by Wang Xuan.

Through refining the Blood Marrow Jade Body that Lei Jun had gifted earlier, Elder Wang of Pure Yang Palace was no longer in the state of Nascent Soul Travel and finally succeeded in remolding the physical body.

Therefore, he was quite grateful to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun said, "Elder Wang is modest."

Although Tang Xiaotang left Great Unity, with him and Xu Yuanzhen present here and in the Great Han mortal world, Wang Xuan and others likely wouldn’t encounter major issues.

Besides the Nascent Soul Transformation realm Wang Xuan from Alchemy Cauldron Sect, there was also an Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivator in this team, which was Elder Master Kongjing from Xuantian Temple of the Buddhist Precept Holder Lineage.

Years ago, when there was internal strife within Xuantian Temple, Master Kongjing still had the Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivation. Many years passed, and he succeeded in advancing further.

In terms of enhancement of realms, the Precept Holder Lineage of the Buddhist Sect can be said to have relatively lenient age requirements among the various inheritances.

However, due to their rigorous cultivation style, the number of monks in the temple has always been limited.

After the internal turmoil and split, successors became even rarer.

The invasion of Solitary Eagle Khanate and the Battle of Yunzhou further destroyed the mountain gate of Xuantian Temple.

Luckily, Abbot Ningru, Master Kongjing, and other experts from Xuantian Temple were still present and, through support from the Tang Imperial Court, now steadily regained their footing.

The other lineage sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect, Bodhi Temple, had experienced a catastrophe approximately forty years ago.

After forty years of silent recovery, they finally started to flourish again.

This time, the representative from Bodhi Temple going to the Great Han mortal world was Elder Shounian, who was very young, under fifty years, a disciple who joined after Bodhi Temple’s catastrophe and the establishment of the Southern Bodhi, but successfully achieved the Seventh Heavenly Layer in the Buddhist Sect, becoming a new high monk of Bodhi Temple’s Upper Three Heavens.

He carried a dignified and solemn appearance, quietly following Elder Wang Xuan, Master Kongjing, and others.

The high merit elder of the Mount Shu Sect leading the team to the Great Han mortal world was also from the younger generation, none other than Lei Jun’s old acquaintance Ji Chuan.

"I’ve heard that Elder Ji recently retreated, with the intent of challenging the Eighth Heavenly Layer?" Lei Jun inquired during a private chat.

Ji Chuan replied, "Indeed."

His father Ji Dongquan, an elder of Mount Shu Sect, was not young, over three hundred years old.

Nevertheless, he was quite skilled in Daoist Artifact Refining, with outstanding abilities in various aspects, though due to various reasons, he never attempted to cross the Heavenly Moat Tribulation from the Seventh to the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

The Great Tang’s situation was stable.

Mount Shu Sect also finally started a slow resurgence from the low point.

Under the surge of Global Spiritual Qi, inspiration and vitality blossomed.

Now, Ji Dongquan finally intended to attempt this step.

He exceeded the best cultivation age for Upper Three Heavens cultivators, entering the plateau stage, but not yet four hundred years old, still with potential for further advancement, although it’s more difficult than for younger cultivators like his son Ji Chuan.

However, according to Lei Jun’s understanding of Ji Dongquan, since he made such a choice, he must have considerable confidence.

"Elder Ji with deep accumulation will likely find it like walking on a flat path." Lei Jun conversed with Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan said, "In this matter, I can’t help my father, just sincerely pray for him." ℴ

After a few more words of exchanging between them, Ji Chuan took his disciples from Mount Shu Sect to join Wang Xuan and others, and then together headed to the Great Han mortal world.

Over there, representatives from the Han ministers and four major Buddhist and Taoist sacred lands awaited them.

Lei Jun quietly stayed in Great Unity, calm and low-key.

However, within and outside of Great Unity, no one dared to ignore his presence.

After Ji Chuan, Wang Xuan, and others left, some time later, a group of disciples from the Celestial Master Mansion also arrived at Great Unity.

They were not preparing to go to the Great Han mortal world but ordered to come to Great Unity for training and cultivation.

The leader among them wore a deep red Taoist robe, not tall but looked short and stout, with black and white fur peeking out from his collar and cuffs.

Clearly it was the only personal disciple of the Celestial Master in Mount Longhu of Tang, Zhuo Baojie.

He was also a Talisman-bestowed Elder of the Celestial Master Mansion, who often undertakes various assignments.

This time, Zhuo Baojie was responsible for leading the disciples on their training expedition in Great Unity, but Elder Zhuo himself also had matters at hand.

He was preparing to begin to challenge the Seventh Heavenly Layer.

With his mentor Lei Jun in Great Unity, Zhuo Baojie came to accompany and receive teachings from Lei Jun.

After instructing his first disciple, Lei Jun quietly watched the other’s cultivation.

Seeing Zhuo Baojie quickly get everything on track, Lei Jun nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze.

His sight shifted to another direction.

Among the Celestial Master Mansion legatees coming to Great Unity this time, there was someone that slightly surprised Lei Jun.

Qin Caiwei.

In Lei Celestial Master’s impression, this person rarely emerged from seclusion.

But this time, coming to Great Unity was Qin Caiwei’s own initiative.

There were quite a few Spirit Plants in Great Unity not found in the Tang mortal world, Qin Caiwei eagerly came to broaden her horizons.

Such is hardly surprising.

But Lei Jun intuitively felt it wasn’t so simple, though he couldn’t discern any improper intentions, so he did not probe further into her privacy.

"Is this Great Unity?"

At this point, Qin Caiwei was in Great Unity, having a satisfying sense of happiness amidst countless dazzling choices: "This truly wasn’t a wasted trip!"

She paused slightly, looked around, and then said softly:

"Are you going to the Great Han mortal world, to Mount Longhu over there?

I thought you would go over with Elder Ji of Mount Shu Sect and them.

Yes, yes... okay, there’s no rush, first observe and watch.

However, I heard Mount Longhu over there has hidden away due to Taiqing Sorcerers’ Cave Heavens.

Oh, okay, I don’t mind, Great Unity is excellent here, I’m planning to stay a few more years."
