Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 879 - 334: Fame Across the World After a Single Battle (Part 6)

"Master Zongcuo was indeed killed by sword cultivators outside of the Great Tang."Abbot Miaoxin calmly said: "Brother Miaokong’s words have left room for interpretation, indeed violating the precepts, but they may help avoid a dispute between the Xumi Vajra Division and the Celestial Master Mansion, potentially preventing a calamity. For those who have renounced the world, compassion should guide our actions."

Elder Miaoyi remained silent upon hearing this.

The relationship between them and the Xumi Vajra Division was rather delicate.

Facing a formidable enemy, Tianlong Temple might not resist.

However, Tianlong Temple was currently in a turbulent period internally.

If the Great Tang Dynasty was in chaos outside, it would not be beneficial for them.

One less conflict is better than more conflict.

Moreover, they have been closer to the Celestial Master Mansion lately, forming a bond that may not be a bad thing.

Furthermore, the Celestial Master Mansion also involves Monk Faqing.

"Brother Miaohui and the others..." Elder Miaoyi looked at Abbot Miaoxin.

Abbot Miaoxin pressed his palms together and sighed softly.

......

In the northern sea domain.

A peculiar Void Gateway in the depths of the ocean turbulence appeared like a giant abyssal mouth ready to devour.

Yet this invisible beast seemed to be constrained at present.

The force restraining it was now scattered in various directions.

The greatest expert in the Great Tang Dynasty, apart from the Empress, Prince Zhao Teng.

The clan chief of one of the contemporary prestigious families, Qingzhou Ye Clan, Ye Yan.

The high monk of the Xumi Vajra Division in the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Jiasheng Upper Master.

And another top expert of the Tang Imperial Court, Princess Zhang Ying of Shanyang.

Besides them, there are other Great Tang cultivators dispersed around the periphery, assisting in sealing the Void Gateway over the ocean.

Prince Zhang Teng and others all appeared solemn and serious.

But their thoughts were not entirely focused on the Void Gateway before them at the moment.

"The Great General, Prince Huayang, and Mr. Chu from Suzhou are currently cleaning up the remnants of the Mortal Tao Country in the South Sea."

Someone reported to Zhang Ying: "Celestial Master Tang from the Celestial Master Mansion is aiding Bashu, Elder Xu’s current whereabouts are unknown, Elder Lei is handling newly discovered Yellow Sky Sect Main Altar after killing Huang Xuanpu in the Snow Mountains of Western Sichuan."

Besides Zhang Ying, others have also received the news.

Jiasheng Upper Master remained expressionless.

Although it was heard that Xu Yuanzhen and Lei Jun were both injured, in the great battle against the Mortal Tao Country, the only one to lose his life was actually his Xumi Vajra Division’s Master Zongcuo.

Was it Zongcuo’s lack of strength?

No matter how lacking in strength, Zongcuo shouldn’t have been the main target of the opponent’s attack...

"Master Zongcuo, endowed with great wisdom and courage, subdued heretical paths, indeed a high monk of attained Tao."

Princess Zhang Ying of Shanyang consoled: "In this strike against the Mortal Tao Country, Master Zongcuo deserves great credit."

Jiasheng Upper Master said slowly: "Your Highness exaggerates, although all from this monastery are outsiders, we have always been resolute in our desire to eliminate demons and protect the Tao for the Great Tang, as witnessed by all beings. Despite being heartbroken over Brother Zongcuo’s death, I will not shrink back... Just hope, over there at the Celestial Master Mansion, they won’t misunderstand us again."

Zhang Ying: "The strike against the Mortal Tao Country, the retrieval of the Celestial Master Robe, I believe the Taoists at the Celestial Master Mansion will also appreciate Master Zongcuo’s sentiments."

Ye Yan remained silent nearby.

He was pondering other aspects.

Xu Yuanzhen.

Tang Xiaotang.

They were already cultivators in the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and strong.

With their presence, the threat posed by the duel of magic among the top level of the Celestial Master Mansion now exceeds any of the contemporary prestigious families of the Confucian sect.

The contemporary prestigious families of the Confucian sect can only respond by joining forces.

And now, there was another Lei Jun.

Though Huang Xuanpu was injured, he was still at the foundation of Perfect Nine Heavens Daoist Mahayana High Truth.

Yet, he was slain by Lei Jun of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Lei Jun, with current strength, can no longer be seen as an Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivator.

And he was equally youthful.

Equally had profound potential, progressing rapidly.

Can the barrier between the Eighth Heavenly Layer and the Ninth Heavenly Layer hold him back?

Ye Yan had no doubt at this moment, the other side will eventually reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm someday.

The only suspense lies in, when, and how long will it take?

If by then the Celestial Master Mansion has such three Ninth Heavenly Layer experts coexisting, what will the state of the Great Tang be?

Where should Qingzhou head?

Ye Yan suddenly glanced at Prince Zhang Teng, who was also silent.

The other quietly observed the entrance to Luo Yuan below, silent and speechless.
