Chapter 320: Chapter 319: Heaven's Secret Art - Backup from the Universe (Part 1)
In the distant galaxy, a majestic fortress stood, its walls shimmering with starlight, resembling countless banners and weapons, making the fortress not only impregnable but also exuding a formidable aura.
This spectacle outside the Divine Court was the embodiment of a Fu Lu sect disciple's profound spiritual power at the Eightfold Heaven Realm.
Lei Jun gazed upon the manifestation of his esteemed master's spiritual power, finding it consistent with the teachings he had received.
Moreover, it reflected a certain degree of complexity and contradiction.
The gathering of the starry river formed a majestic city, solid as a golden soup.
Yet, the starlight resembled weapons and military formations, always ready to disperse and change endlessly.
No wonder Yuan Mo Bai had mentioned earlier that the Purple Mansion Mist was of little help to him.
Refining the Purple Mansion Mist might strengthen the city but would hinder the expansion of the galaxy and the movement of the stars.
"The Divine Court manifestation of the senior master sister is called the 'End of the Deep Sky,' and the junior master sister's is called the 'Pure Yang Realm.'"
Lei Jun asked curiously, "What about you, Master?"
Yuan Mo Bai replied with his usual calm and gentle tone, "I haven't thought much about it due to my focus on cultivation. But now, I think I'll call it the 'Galaxy Pass.'"
Lei Jun bowed once more to Yuan Mo Bai, "Congratulations, Master."
"It's a small achievement, and the path of cultivation is long. Both you and I have just begun our journey, and we should encourage each other." With that, Yuan Mo Bai took the lead, and Lei Jun followed by his side.
The purple-robed young Daoist smiled as he walked, looking up at his disciple, who was half a head taller than him, "Revered Cloud, your cultivation progress has been even faster lately. I believe that in recent years, you will also cultivate your own Divine Court manifestation."
Lei Jun replied, "I have some ideas, but they still need more refinement and maturation."
Yuan Mo Bai said leisurely, "With the Divine Court manifestation, the realms of you and I, master and disciple, will be equal once again. From then on, I believe you will surpass me, truly transcending my realm, and then continue forward, leaving me behind."
He spoke with a peaceful tone, even with a hint of delight, "The so-called inheritance is passed down from one generation to the next. But if one wishes to make greater progress, they must build upon the past and forge new paths. This is truly wonderful."
Lei Jun said, "I will keep your teachings in mind, Master, and continue the legacy. I hope that my disciples in the future will also surpass me and achieve even greater heights."
Yuan Mo Bai laughed, "That might be a difficult task. Don't put too much pressure on Hua Jie."
Lei Jun reported another matter, "The timing of this trip is quite coincidental. Master, you emerged from seclusion today, and the senior master brother and the third junior brother are currently in closed-door cultivation."
Yuan Mo Bai asked, "Revered Guang must have his own reasons and discretion for his return. Could it be that..."
"The third junior brother has accumulated a lot, and he is now officially preparing to challenge the tribulation between the sixth and seventh heavens," Lei Jun confirmed his master's speculation.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mo Bai's smile became more apparent, "Good!"
Chu Kun was also a cautious person. When it came to cultivation, he would not take risks without a certain level of assurance.
"Master, I'm refining a pill, and I would like to ask for your guidance," Lei Jun invited Yuan Mo Bai to his separate residence.
Inside the residence, Zhuo Bao Jie was guarding the pill furnace. When he saw Lei Jun and the others enter, he quickly straightened up and bowed, "Disciple greets Master and Grand Master."
Yuan Mo Bai glanced up and down at Zhuo Bao Jie and smiled, "Hua Jie's cultivation has also improved."
"It's all thanks to the teachings of Master and Grand Master," Zhuo Bao Jie said earnestly, "Congratulations, Grand Master, on your successful emergence from seclusion."
Lei Jun waved his hand, and the senior disciple retreated to the side with a fan in his hand.
Yuan Mo Bai then approached the pill furnace and examined it for a moment before turning to Lei Jun and asking, "The Calm Spirit Pill? Did you obtain the Spirit Void Immortal Fruit?"
Lei Jun nodded, "Yes, I first obtained it through the Heaven's Secret Art Universe from Fang Yu, the Recluse.
Recently, I publicly traded with Recluse Fang again and obtained more spirit fruits, which I then used to attempt cultivating the Spirit Void Divine Tree.
Currently, it is being taken care of by Hua Wei, one of Master Luo's disciples. I hope that it will eventually mature and provide a continuous supply of Spirit Void Immortal Fruits for our sect.
As for the batch of spirit fruits I obtained from Recluse Fang earlier, I am trying to refine them into Calm Spirit Pills."
This was one of the Tian Shi Fu's ancestral spirit pills. It calms the spirit and nourishes the body while also nurturing the soul and consciousness, aiding the disciples of the Fu Lu sect in their cultivation.
Another effect of the pill was that it helped further temper the spirituality of young disciples.
While it might not directly improve one's level of enlightenment, it had the wondrous effect of facilitating analogous comprehension, benefiting cultivators with enlightenment levels below 'Exceptional.'
In a small probability, it could even nurture 'Middle-Upper Grade' enlightenment to 'Upper Grade' or even 'Exceptional' enlightenment.
For people like Xu Yuan Zhen, Lei Jun, and Tang Xiao Tang, this slight difference seemed negligible.
However, for most cultivators, due to their lifespan, this slight difference could even determine their fate, provided that all other conditions remained unchanged.
Long Hu Mountain was the ancestral court of the Fu Lu sect of the Daoist School.
And Tian Shi Fu was the sect's very foundation.
As the various branches spread and flourished, their influence expanded, attracting more believers, and their foundation became increasingly deep and solid.
"Revered Cloud, you've done well," Yuan Mo Bai said, nodding slightly as he looked at Lei Jun.
Lei Jun smiled faintly, "To be honest, I've often focused on my own well-being when facing challenges. But if I were to truly take over from Junior Master Sister and lead our sect, I would need to consider the greater good and the responsibilities that come with such a position."
Yuan Mo Bai shook his head and chuckled, "Even without the Calm Spirit Pill, you have already done a lot for our sect."
If not for that, how could he have gained such respect?
And this was all while most of his actions remained unknown to the public.
Just speaking of pill formulas, even before the Calm Spirit Pill, Lei Jun had helped the sect recreate the Heaven's Origin Azure Essence Pill.
"It's all thanks to your guidance, Master," Lei Jun said.
Yuan Mo Bai asked, "What news do we have of the sect leader and Yuan Zhen?"
Lei Jun replied, "The senior master sister has gone overseas, according to her. She believes that Huang Xuan Pu may be abroad, and she is currently searching for him.
The junior master sister is currently in the Southern Wasteland, where she previously detected traces of the Pre-Natal Tower of Tai Yi.
However, I recently heard that she also clashed with experts from the Jiuli tribe..."
The master and disciple exchanged glances and simultaneously coughed dryly, averting their gazes.
The senior master sister, Xu Yuan Zhen, was often unpredictable due to her uninhibited nature and unusual interests.
But when it came to something that piqued her interest, she displayed an extraordinary focus and even obsession.
When she had no particular goal, Xu Yuan Zhen liked to wander around, but once she set her sights on something, she pursued it relentlessly.
On the other hand, the junior master sister, Tang Xiao Tang, had a rather fickle interest in matters outside of cultivation.
In Lei Jun's opinion, his junior master sister, Tang Xiaotang, was a fickle person who could be passionate about something for only three minutes before easily shifting her focus elsewhere. Every time she emerged from her reclusive lifestyle, she would eventually lose interest and become distracted. The only exception to this pattern was when she had embarked on a quest for the Heavenly Master's Sword years ago, displaying a rare sense of dedication.
This time, however, as Tang Xiaotang ventured out, she was led purely by her whims and fancy, wandering wherever her heart desired. Up until now, she had not only traveled far and wide but had also visited the Southern Wasteland for the second time on this journey...
"Hmm?"
As Lei Jun was inwardly mocking the eccentricities of his master sister, he suddenly felt a slight disturbance in his spiritual sense.
Yuan Mobai looked at him inquiringly. "What is it?"
Lei Jun's eyes narrowed slightly. "I've completely lost contact with Junior Master Sister's Heaven's Sight and Earth's Hearing Talisman."
It didn't feel like the talisman had been destroyed by external forces but rather...
"It seems to be blocked by the spatial forces of a different realm," Lei Jun furrowed his brows. "A void portal, perhaps?"
Soon after, news started trickling in from the south: Tang Xiaotang, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, had ventured into the Earthly Sea.
Lei Jun sighed and entered the Grand Hall of the Wanfa Zong Sect.
Amidst the myriad of magical techniques and talismans swirling within the hall, Lei Jun ignited a Heaven's Sight and Earth's Hearing Talisman in his hand.
The talisman transformed into wisps of blue smoke that rose gracefully.
Lei Jun's eyes, imbued with the Heaven-Penetrating and Earth-Piercing Technique, shone with a brilliant light.
Under his gaze, the smoke gradually took on the shape of a woman—the silhouette of Tang Xiaotang.
Finally, Tang Xiaotang's voice, intermittent and faint, reached them: "...Lei Jun?"
"Do you need help, Junior Master Sister?" Lei Jun asked.
Tang Xiaotang replied, "For now...no. I recall Master once said something like...ah, how did it go? I'm having fun right now."
Her voice, filled with excitement, also carried a hint of eagerness for battle.
She sounded like a hunter who had spotted her prey.
Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
He refrained from reminding her of the original purpose of her journey and simply said, "The Earthly Sea is separated from the human realm by a void, making communication difficult. Just be careful, Junior Master Sister, and try to maintain contact as much as possible. Other than that, you're free to do as you please."
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now..." Tang Xiaotang's voice trailed off.
As the transmission ended, Lei Jun turned to Yuan Mobai, who stood by his side.
Yuan Mobai let out a soft sigh and said with a smile, "Let's leave it at that for now."
Although he had emerged from seclusion, he did not take over the management of the sect from Lei Jun. Instead, like Shangguan Ning and Zhang Jingzhen, he assisted Lei Jun from the sidelines, leaving the decision-making to Lei Jun.
In the following days, Lei Jun continued his usual routine. He oversaw the affairs of the sect, cultivated and instructed his disciples, and refined pills in his free time. With Yuan Mobai by his side for guidance and verification, Lei Jun's pill refining process became even smoother.
On the day the Calm Spirit Pill was completed, the entire room was filled with a pleasant fragrance, and rays of light soared into the sky.
Although the sect had anticipated this outcome ever since Lei Jun publicly communicated with Fang Yu and obtained the Spirit Void Immortal Fruit, the successful refinement of the Calm Spirit Pill still caused a stir within and outside the sect.
Numerous visitors flocked to their door, seeking the pill.
Lei Jun's personal reputation rose to new heights, but he remained unfazed, continuing to live his life at his own pace.
Junior Master Sister Tang Xiaotang had not stirred up any new trouble. However, some people and events turned out to be unexpected.
One day, after checking on his disciples' progress, Lei Jun received an urgent message from someone in the Tian Shu Universe.
Lei Jun immersed his consciousness into the Tian Shu Universe and found that the message was from Shen Quibing, the Mars Star of the Five Planets.
They had heard that he was engaged in battles in the Southern Wasteland. Although the fighting was intense, the situation was still under control for the Tang Empire. Shen Quibing had been very active in the war, gaining fame in all four directions. However, he now found himself in some trouble.
"Mars...are you currently in the Earthly Sea?" Lei Jun read the message and couldn't help but be surprised.
Well, aside from Junior Master Sister Tang Xiaotang, Shen Quibing had also ventured into the Earthly Sea.
"Mars is in trouble and is seeking help from all of us."
The Moon Star, the Yin Planet, shone brightly at that moment: "He has gone silent again, and he's not responding to my reply. He might indeed be in danger and cannot afford to be distracted."
It would undoubtedly compromise his safety if he had to divide his attention between dealing with the danger and communicating through the Tian Shu Universe.
Shen Quibing would have to wait for a relatively safe opportunity to "come online" again.
The Saturn Star, the Zhen Planet, spoke up: "It seems he has left a message for everyone."
Lei Jun looked in the direction of the Sun Star, the Yang Planet, but it remained unlit, indicating that Empress Zhang Wantong might also be occupied with other matters and unable to "come online."
The Moon Star, the Yin Planet, spoke up: "We've known each other for quite some time now, and over the years, we've interacted quite a bit. Now that Mars is in danger, I personally think we should help him within our capacity.
The Earthly Sea is treacherous, but it is also said to be filled with heavenly treasures and earthly gems. By helping Mars now, perhaps we can ask him to bring back what we desire from the Earthly Sea in the future?"
The Fixed Star, the Zhen Planet, represented by Fang Yu, said: "As long as it's a mutual aid, I see no problem as long as it's fair. I won't hesitate to lend a helping hand, but I know very little about the Earthly Sea, so I'm not sure how I can help him out of his urgent situation."
Lei Jun did not respond immediately. Instead, he carefully read through Shen Quibing's message.
According to Shen Quibing, he was currently being pursued and blocked by a large number of Jiuli experts in the Earthly Sea. In the urgency of the situation, he didn't elaborate much on the cause or provide many details about the location, only mentioning that there was a mountain called Xiongbo in the Earthly Sea, and he was currently near it.
"The entrance to the Earthly Sea is currently occupied by the people of the Jiuli tribe, and other void portals are unknown. Even if we want to go to the Earthly Sea to help, I'm afraid we won't make it in time. Mars is alone and needs to rely on the local forces to get out of this predicament."
The Saturn Star, the Chen Planet, spoke: "But we need him to further explain the details and the surrounding environment so that we can give him some advice. Otherwise, we might end up sending him straight into a tiger's den."
The Moon Star, the Yin Planet, agreed: "What you said makes sense..."
Just as they were feeling helpless, the star representing the Mars Star suddenly lit up.
"Phew...I finally have a moment to catch my breath," Shen Quibing said.
