Chapter 406: Lei Jun's New Joys (Part 1)
"Where is it? It should be near Suizhou. I wonder what this place is called in the human realm of the Foreign Khanate." Tang Xiaotang replied casually.
Although the land was in ruins, the overall terrain of the human realm of the Foreign Khanate was similar to that of the Great Tang human realm.
Thus, Tang Xiaotang could easily discern the approximate region and location.
"Near Suizhou, so it's relatively close to the Jiuzhou Estuary..." Lei Jun nodded slightly.
The situation was rather unique in the human realm of the Foreign Khanate, with the sudden appearance of the Gate of Guiyu.
According to Lei Jun's knowledge, the Gate of Guiyu that appeared earlier in the human realm of the Great Ming had opened in the deep sea of the distant ocean off the East China Sea, like a bottomless pit.
However, overall, it was still a clear gateway.
This time, in the human realm of the Foreign Khanate, it seemed like there was no definite gateway, and the location was not in the distant ocean seabed but in some of the largest water systems in the human realm, where varying amounts of extremely cold Guiyu tranquil waters had merged.
As a result, various Guiyu demons were spreading across the four directions in the human realm.
In this situation, not only were the Golden Khanate and the Sumeru Lotus Sect Master Zongga feeling headaches, but even Zhu Junjie, Li Hang, and even Ji Yao from Huangquan, everyone frowned secretly upon witnessing the situation.
Although there was no clear gateway, the fusion of the waters of Guiyu with the waters of the human realm gave birth to several spacetime-unique abysses.
These abysses were respectively located in the water veins of the Jiuzhou Estuary, Huangye Lake, the southern valley of Changfeng Mountain, and so on, thus becoming the paradise and initial base of the Guiyu demon horde, with a large number of Guiyu demons occupying these water veins.
"I've been to the ancestral sites of the Greedy Li tribe and Li Yuanheng in the Earth Sea and got some clues. I'm not sure if we can find Li Yuanheng, but it's worth a try."
Lei Jun said, "Little Senior Sister, you're closer to the Jiuzhou Estuary, right? Maybe you can try your luck there."
Tang Xiaotang: "Oh? Alright, then let's give it a shot."
Lei Jun: "Any news from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, Huangquan's Shushan, or Master Li Hang from this Pure Yang Palace?"
Tang Xiaotang: "I exchanged a few moves with the bald thief from Sumeru earlier, but later, the Gate of Guiyu descended, and a demon from Huangquan's Shushan appeared, making the scene too chaotic. We all went our separate ways."
As she spoke, a pair of illusory eyes appeared above her head, as if perceiving the ways of the world, quietly turning to look into the distance:
"I vaguely feel that there seems to be someone in the southeast, but they are very far away."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Huangye Lake was located in the Xiaoxiang region of the human realm, and could be considered part of Dongting Lake.
From the perspective of Tang Xiaotang's current location in Suizhou, Huangye Lake was in the southeast direction.
Tang Xiaotang herself had not been there, and the person or event perceived by her Tianxin Dongming Falu should not be the distant Huangye Lake itself, but rather someone she had encountered before.
Yes, a certain troublemaker.
"Let's take it one step at a time, and not be impatient. Let's find Li Yuanheng first." Lei Jun said.
Tang Xiaotang: "Alright, then I'll go take a look at the Jiuzhou Estuary first."
At the moment, she was still in high spirits, maintaining her disguise as Zheng Chen, the venerable elder of the Great Song's Pure Yang Palace.
Following Lei Jun's guidance, Tang Xiaotang headed toward the direction of the Jiuzhou Estuary.
The closer she got, the more Guiyu demons appeared.
Tang Xiaotang remained unfazed.
This was a good opportunity for her to practice and refine her imitation of the Pure Yang Palace's supernatural powers and techniques.
On the other side, Lei Jun was on his way while communicating with Tang Xiaotang through the Tian Shi Di Ting Fu, sharing insights and exchanging ideas.
Tang Xiaotang's unique qualifications and her original style of fighting gave her an innate advantage when imitating the moves of a Pure Yang Palace cultivator.
However, there were still differences between the cultivation of the Daoist Talisman Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect.
If they were to face off against top-notch experts, the deception would be easily uncovered.
"You had it easy back then." Tang Xiaotang said.
Lei Jun casually killed a Black-Armored Xuanqiong that came from Guiyu while replying,
"Our situations are different. I cultivated the Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword first and only obtained the remains of Elder Chen from the Shushan Sect after many years of practice.
Little Senior Sister, you, on the other hand, obtained the remains of Elder Zheng from the Pure Yang Palace first, and only then considered impersonating him. Your current performance on a whim is already quite remarkable."
Tang Xiaotang's impersonation of Zheng Chen was partly because she needed to refine her mastery of the related techniques.
Another reason was that some of her original supernatural powers and techniques, especially those with distinct characteristics, were not convenient to use in front of others at the moment.
Unless there were no witnesses around.
In such a situation, she would have many reservations, and her true strength would be limited.
To some extent, Tang Xiaotang's current situation was similar to that of Huang Xuanpu, the Black Emperor of the Northern Daoist Kingdom, back in the Great Tang human realm, where he had to conceal his true identity.
Generally speaking, being restricted in such a manner would make Tang Xiaotang impatient and frustrated.
However, at this moment, she viewed it more as a fun challenge, akin to creating a sanctuary within a tiny snail shell.
Although she had a carefree personality, when it came to the cultivation of divine channels and supernatural powers, Tang Xiaotang was equally adept at intricate and delicate practices.
As for whether Tang Xiaotang's impersonation of "Zheng Chen" resembled the real person, it had not yet been tested.
Previously, whenever they encountered enemies, "Elder Zheng" would simply crush them with Pure Yang True Fire, without the need for further interaction.
But there were exceptions.
On the way, Tang Xiaotang, in the form of "Zheng Chen," had her eyes slightly flicker as she looked into the distance.
There, a Confucian scholar was also crossing the great river.
It was Zhu Junjie, with whom she had met once before.
Zhu Junjie saw "Zheng Chen" and quickly stepped forward, "Could it be Elder Zheng of the Pure Yang Palace?"
"Zheng Chen" coughed dryly, pretending, "Indeed, it is this poor Daoist. May I ask who you are?"
Zhu Junjie bowed first, "Your junior, Zhu Junjie, has yet to make a name for himself. My teacher, Danxia, had the honor of meeting Elder Zheng once in the past.
"Zheng Chen": "Hmm... How is your master, Danxia?"
Zhu Junjie replied softly, "My master sacrificed himself six years ago to resist the southward invasion of the exotic Hu tribes."
"Zheng Chen" paused before speaking again, "I see... This old Taoist has been in seclusion for many years and only recently emerged. I am not yet well-informed about the recent developments of my acquaintances."
Zhu Junjie said, "I had heard that Elder Zheng of Pure Yang Palace left to wander the world. I never expected to encounter you today, Elder Zheng. I am truly fortunate in this life."
"Zheng Chen" was well-prepared for this: "Since emerging from seclusion, I heard that our sect produced an unfilial disciple, so I came out to investigate."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Junjie's expression became even more solemn. "Lee... Hang's actions are indeed quite different from the words and deeds of the high immortals of the Pure Yang Palace throughout the ages. I saw him not long ago, but I am currently uncertain of his whereabouts. If I have news of him in the future, I will inform you, Elder."
"Zheng Chen" said, "Then I thank you, layman. However, I see that you are injured, so it is best to rest and recuperate to reduce further strain."
Zhu Junjie said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder, but I have urgent matters to attend to in the north of the river."
"Zheng Chen" waved his hand, "If that is the case, then let us part ways here, and we shall meet again in the future."
As he watched Zhu Junjie leave, "Zheng Chen" seemed to be muttering to himself, "Why do I feel like he had something he wanted to say to me, but he didn't in the end?"
"It's probably not because he saw through you. Unlike his teacher, Master Danxia, in terms of age, he is more likely to have met you, Elder Zheng, for the first time and only seen your portrait and heard your name before."
Lei Jun's voice sounded in his ear, "The Golden Khanate trip took the lives of many top experts, so there is a shortage of manpower within the range of the Song realm. It is natural for the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty to want to take this opportunity to rebel. However, with demons running amok here and the situation with the Golden Khan being unclear, it may not be the best time to start a rebellion. This layman Zhu is patriotic and concerned for his people, but he seems calm and has extraordinary strength. With him around, whether or not they support the rebellion, he can help preserve the vitality of the Song remnants. To counter the Golden Khanate, having a high immortal like you, Elder Zheng, would be a great help."
"Elder Zheng" laughed, "I'm quite interested in seeing what kind of spectacle they can create. But first, as you said, I'll look for Li Yuanheng and the others."
Tang Xiaotang, who was in high spirits, continued to disguise himself as "Zheng Chen" and made his way to the Jiuzhou River Estuary.
Lei Jun, on the other hand, with the enhancement of his Yin Walk transformation from the Heavenly Walk Scripture, donned the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasure Cape and moved stealthily.
He carefully discerned the direction and chose his route, first arriving at the area between Changfeng Mountain and Huangye Lake.
In his eyes, the Heavenly Communication and Earth Penetration Scripture shone continuously.
High above in the almost immeasurable void, the Jade Clarity Heaven-Encompassing Treasure Mirror quietly turned, reflecting its light.
The threat from the Great Ming Empire to the hidden realm had temporarily eased, and they were already showing signs of retreat.
Therefore, Lei Jun had moved the Jade Clarity Heaven-Encompassing Treasure Mirror, retrieving it from the high skies above the Great Tang human realm and bringing it to this exotic Khanate human realm to refine it and familiarize himself with the spiritual energy veins here before sending the treasure back into the sky.
He had left the Star River Heaven-Encompassing Net in the Great Tang human realm.
The Jade Clarity Heaven-Encompassing Treasure Mirror was now functioning high above this exotic Khanate human realm.
Combined with Lei Jun's Heavenly Communication and Earth Penetration Scripture, this treasure further enhanced Lei Jun's already powerful senses, expanding his field of vision to a vast extent that even many Nine Heavens cultivators would find difficult to estimate.
Then, Lei Jun successfully discovered the expected target.
A vast expanse of crimson covered the mountains and fields, resembling a magnificent blooming red lotus or a giant peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Although it was his first time seeing it in person, Lei Jun easily associated it with the legendary treasure of the Sumeru Lotus Department, the Amitabha Peacock Throne.
Seated on the Buddhist dharma seat was a monk who appeared youthful, with an extremely handsome face, a dignified bearing, and a compassionate demeanor.
It was none other than the master of the Sumeru Lotus Department, Zongga.
"This should be the person Little Sister sensed in the southeast..." Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Then, he slightly diverted the mirror's light, avoiding direct eye contact with the Lotus Department Master and the Amitabha Peacock Throne.
Among the five departments of the Sumeru Vajra Realm, the Lotus Department was the one that focused most on spiritual cultivation, resulting in resilient and agile souls.
Consequently, their perception abilities were exceptionally outstanding.
Zongga, the master of the Nine Heavens Perfected Lotus Department, also possessed the Solitary Diamond Thunderbolt and the Amitabha Peacock Throne.
After fighting him, Tang Xiaotang had specifically mentioned to Lei Jun that this monk had a very keen sense of perception.
When he was restrained by other experts and was fully focused on his opponent, Lei Jun's observation might not catch his attention.
Currently, as Zongga was not engaged in a battle with a strong enemy, Lei Jun was cautious. He quickly swept the area with the Jade Clarity Heaven-Encompassing Treasure Mirror and left without lingering, not wanting to attract the other party's attention.
However, this was already sufficient for the time being.
Lei Jun stood on Dongting Marsh, and sparks of lightning and electricity began to shine around his body.
Golden lightning.
Pure Yang Immortal Thunder.
In mid-air, the thunderbolts wove into a huge and profound talisman.
As the talisman shone, it grew even larger.
And from this Shenxiao Pure Yang talisman emerged a massive pure gold thunder dragon, accompanied by a masculine roar.
Known to most, this was the thunder law created by Tang Xiaotang, the former head of Dragon Tiger Mountain, who was born with a pure yang immortal body.
The Pure Yang Thunder Ancestor Symbol, also known as the Pure Yang Thunder Dragon.
It was majestic and awe-inspiring, exuding masculine might.
"Thank you, Little Sister. I also have a new hobby to enjoy." Lei Jun nodded slightly.
As the Pure Yang Thunder Dragon roared, it instantly dried up a large area of Dongting Marsh.
In the lake, where the water of the Ruined Abyss met, many abyssal demons appeared.
But at that moment, the thunder dragon plunged into the water, instantly killing a large number of abyssal demons.
Within the dark and murky lake waters, a colossal shadow emerged.
It was none other than a giant Kun, its size resembling a small island.
Lei Jun recalled the Heavenly Master's Mansion scriptures he had read and surmised that this must be the ancient exotic species, the Over-the-Sea Kun, rumored to carry the bloodline of one of the ancient demon clan's overlord, the Kunpeng.
