Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 1033: Chapter 367: Things the Celestial Master Wants to Do During His Tenure (First Update)

On Dragon Tiger Mountain, inside the Celestial Master Mansion.

Lei Jun quietly observed the reports from various places.

Although many of the messages were inaccurate and awaited verification, the atmosphere of mounting tension was already palpable.

Sure enough, it’s always these Great Demons that first become active... Lei Jun thought.

In the past, when the Great Tang’s national power was still stable, those Great Demons often caused trouble.

Now, the demonic atmosphere is even more intense.

They are filled with a bloodlust and greed for human flesh, especially the lives of cultivators, to the point where it’s ingrained in their very marrow.

Many Great Demons previously suffered severe defeats in the Great Tang territories, forcing them to be quiet for some years.

As time passed, they began to revert to their old habits.

Especially some newly risen Great Demons, who are in their prime, act recklessly and with great greed.

Just uncertain whether anyone else is secretly guiding the dance of the demons this time?

In the past few centuries, the one to achieve significant results in such matters was the exiled Great Void Temple.

The Great Void Temple was secretly supported by the Five Clans and Seven Families, each meeting the other’s needs.

However, before, the Great Void Temple had conflicts with both Qingzhou and Cangzhou Ye Clans.

Since Abbot Yuanmie helped the Cangzhou Ye Clan’s leader Li Yan during the Earth Sea Poli Clan crisis, he has rarely been seen.

After suffering heavy losses inland, the Great Void Temple has been healing overseas.

The formerly troubling Vajra Temple of the Western Regions, or rather the Sumi Vajra Division, has now vanished in the Great Tang human realm.

Still uncertain about what actions the Great Void Temple might take next.

But Lei Jun, even without deep thought, knows those heretic monks won’t express gratitude toward the Tang Imperial Court and Celestial Master Mansion.

In contrast to Lei Jun’s calmness, a certain Tang-named State Preceptor was rather excited.

She moved here and there, observing.

Various pieces of information flooded in, leaving Tang Xiaotang feeling somewhat dazzled.

Yet, a piece of news immediately caught Tang Xiaotang’s full attention.

This was the news from Master Sister Xu Yuanzhen.

Lei Jun was equally attentive upon receiving Xu Yuanzhen’s verbal message.

Master Sister Xu Yuanzhen had gone through Penglai to the realm of Great Ming where the Western White Emperor resides.

This news wasn’t particularly unexpected.

Lei Jun was somewhat prepared for this development, just hadn’t anticipated it happening at this time.

Judging by Master Sister’s tone, she wasn’t particularly excited.

In fact, she seemed slightly displeased from an earlier mistake.

Heaven pity, Master Xu initially planned to find a path from outside and directly breach into the Ming Realm.

Now, she entered through Penglai, though successful, it left her feeling slightly... uncomfortable.

But it made Tang Xiaotang quite envious.

She almost prepared to rush in immediately, heading into Penglai herself.

It was the earnest persuasion from the Tang Imperial Court that managed to temper her impulsive nature.

"Young Master Sister, there’s no need to rush, let’s wait for Master Sister’s reply first." Lei Jun reassured Tang Xiaotang through the Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman.

Due to the Void Realm’s barrier, even his Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman and Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman couldn’t conveniently contact Master Sister Xu Yuanzhen currently.

Although Xu Yuanzhen was displeased, she didn’t show any difficulty.

Based on Lei Jun’s understanding of her, perhaps she will soon enjoy herself in the Ming Realm.

To be fair, their current understanding of the Ming Realm mostly comes from Heavenly Principle, with some minor insights gained from the former Ming Realm Intermediary Path Country figures Shang Nan and Xue Xingzi.

Heavenly Principle itself lacks connection with the Ming Realm, hence has little awareness of its present condition.

Items from Shang Nan and Xue Xingzi provided sparse and fragmented information.

This time, with Master Sister Xu Yuanzhen personally visiting, hopefully, she will bring back more detailed information.

"Qingzhou Ye Clan’s Clan Chief Ye Yan hasn’t entered Penglai, nor returned to the Qingzhou Ye Clan Ancestral Land?" Yuan Mobai asked Lei Jun.

Lei Jun nodded: "It’s said he’s staying on the East Sea monitoring the Penglai portal, but specifics are vague."

He has become more acquainted with the Cangzhou Ye Clan’s communication means.

Yet, information on Qingzhou Ye Clan remains insufficient.

From currently gathered news, Ye Yan indeed remains on the East Sea, though exact whereabouts are unclear.

The channel linking Penglai with the Great Tang human realm still exists.

As for the old Clan Chief Chu Xiuyuan, who earlier went to the East Sea, it’s largely confirmed he’s no longer at sea.

"In Penglai, besides the so-called Western White Emperor, there are others... aiming to establish the Human Path Country."

Facing Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai sat a seemingly youthful Elder from Mount Shu, an old acquaintance, Ji Chuan, here representing Mount Shu Sect to visit the wounded Celestial Master Lei.

Ji Chuan, upon hearing about Penglai, felt deeply moved.

Toward the Human Path Country crowd, as a Mount Shu descendent, his view is uniquely complex.

It’s said that those with different paths don’t conspire together.

Yet, the former Tang Dynasty Human Path Country directly undermined Mount Shu Sect’s foundation, the damage to primordial qi still hasn’t fully recovered.

Fortunately, there is Master Xu, there is National Master Tang.

There is the present Celestial Master Lei.

The Tang Dynasty Human Path Country has become history.

Other Human Path Countries are closely tied to Penglai, and now Penglai was disrupted by Xu Yuanzhen.

The Western White Emperor of the Ming Realm Human Path Country has to worry about what kind of commotion Xu Yuanzhen might create upon arriving in the Ming Realm.

However, the Ming Realm isn’t like Heavenly Principle; it’s a genuine human realm.
