Chapter 517: 516. A New Generation, Times Have Changed



Standing before Lei Jun, Han Xiaofei reported to her master, "Senior Uncle Zhong Wei, Senior Sister Zhong Hua, and Senior Brother Hou Yu have all begun their seclusion for cultivation, preparing for the Heavenly Chasm Tribulation between the Sixth and Seventh Heavens."

Before the merging of the two worlds, the lengths of history and the passage of time in the Han and Tang realms were nearly synchronized, with minimal differences.

One advantage of this was that while the lineage and seniority among the same sect in different realms were often confusing, the Han and Tang sects under the Han and Tang dynasties, respectively, could still maintain a clear understanding of their lineage and seniority.

For instance, when the Pure Yang Palace's Lu Jin, Wang Xuan, Jiang Yu, Yue Xiling, and Yu Yicheng from the Tang realm encountered their counterparts from the Han realm, Deng Lei and Zhao Haoran, they found it much easier to interact without the need for pretense.

Similarly, when the Shu Mountain School's Zhang Taogang, Xie Yiyng, Ji Chuan, and Xu Duan from the Tang realm met their counterparts from the Han realm, Chen Lingfeng, He Yuhang, and Yu Boyan, they also felt more at ease.

However, dealing with the Shu Mountain School's Shen Xi and Li Wanqiu from the Southern Jin realm was an entirely different matter.

In the past, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion's Han branch had it easy as they only needed to interact with the Han Dynasty branch.

Moreover, after the Dao Law Reform, many newcomers brought about new changes.

Zhu Zongwei, with the Dao name Zhu Zhongwei, was of the same generation as Lei Jun, Chu Kun, and Luo Haoran.

Zhong Hua Xuan, with the Dao name Zhong Hua, and Hou Huayu, with the Dao name Hou Hua, were of the same generation as Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei, Qin Caimei, and Zhang Fengxuan.

All three of them were descendants of the Han Dynasty branch of Dragon Tiger Mountain, but they entered the sect relatively late.

When Yuan Zhen defeated Zhou Tian Daoren, Lei Jun slew Ji Daocheng, and Xiang Jing, disguised as Pan Hailin, they were still transmission disciples and had not yet undergone the talismanic ordination.

Hou Huayu only joined the Han Dynasty branch of Dragon Tiger Mountain after Lei Jun led the Dao Law Reform.

For this reason, they participated in the talismanic ordination after the Dao Law Reform had matured.

In this regard, they were no different from the Tang Dynasty disciples.

Although Zhu Zongwei and Zhong Hua Xuan faced some setbacks, their impact was minimal. Both Hou Huayu and his fellow disciples possessed remarkable talent and determination. With dedicated cultivation, they had already reached the Sixth Heaven realm, and after these years of seclusion, they were on the verge of breaking through to the next level.

Compared to the Han disciples who underwent talismanic ordination before the Dao Law Reform, Zhu Zongwei and his peers were undoubtedly less affected, and with smooth sailing, they became the first beneficiaries of Lei Jun's Dao Law Reform.

Over the years, the Han Dynasty's Dragon Tiger Mountain had never been entirely peaceful, experiencing ups and downs.

Now that the Han and Tang realms had fully merged, with no distinction between them, once Zhu Zongwei, Zhong Hua Xuan, and Hou Huayu officially ascended to the Upper Three Heavens realm, this second Dao Law Reform after the end of the Han Dynasty would mark the beginning of a new chapter.

There might still be some turbulence, more or less."

But the trend was already set, and successors would continue to emerge.

Aside from Zhu Zongwei, Zhong Hua Xuan, and Hou Huayu, who were from the Han Dynasty branch, there were also many elders from the Celestial Master Mansion in the Tang realm who were about to break through to the Seventh Heaven realm.

"Senior Uncle, has Senior Brother Xue already entered seclusion?"

In the Celestial Master Mansion's executive hall, Zhuo Baojie finished handling his tasks and asked the high-achieving elder Liu Xiao, who was sitting nearby.

Liu Elder, of the same generation as Yuan Mo Bai, Shangguan Ning, and Yao Yuan, nodded, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhong Yu has begun his seclusion. Thanks to the meticulous arrangements made by the Celestial Master and Senior Brother Hua, he has everything he needs. It's all up to him now."

Liu Xiao rarely took on disciples. After Lei Jun took over the Dragon Tiger Mountain sect and became the Celestial Master, Liu Xiao embarked on a journey to explore the world.

During his travels in the northern Youzhou region of the Tang realm, he encountered a young man named Xue Yu, who was fated to inherit his Dao teachings. Liu Xiao brought him back to the mountain and initiated him into the Dao.

Although Xue Yu entered the sect late, his generation was relatively high.

However, he was low-key, dedicated to the Dao, and steadily cultivated.

In terms of talent, he wasn't particularly outstanding among the disciples in the Celestial Master Mansion.

But he possessed a calm and composed temperament, neither arrogant nor timid, nor hasty nor impatient. Following in Liu Xiao's footsteps, he favored alchemy and medicine. Among the Middle Three Heavens elders in the Mansion, Xue Yu was one of the best.

Across from Liu Xiao, sitting next to Zhuo Baojie, was another elderly Daoist wearing a deep red robe. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhong He is not as fast as Senior Brother Zhong Yu, but it won't be long for him either."

Liu Xiao replied, "Senior Brother Zhong He entered the sect late, but his progress is even faster than Senior Brother Zhong Yu. I believe he won't be far behind."

The elder on the left, Left Elder, smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhuo Baojie agreed with the two elders but sighed inwardly.

Liu Xiao and Left Elder were both elders of the previous generation in the Mansion.

Among them, Liu Xiao had taken a bold risk and successfully passed through the Heavenly Chasm Tribulation between the Sixth and Seventh Heavens, reaching the Upper Three Heavens realm. His lifespan increased from four hundred to eight hundred years.

Therefore, although he had passed the golden stage of rapid progress in cultivation, he could still be considered in his prime.

In contrast, Left Elder, who was even older, had already entered a period of decline.

As the years passed, he had entered a period of rapid deterioration in all aspects.

The reason he appeared calm and composed at the moment was because they were within the Dragon Tiger Mountain sect.

With the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Celestial Master Lei Jun's profound cultivation and vast abilities continuously improved and supported the Dragon Tiger Mountain sect, allowing elders like Left Elder to significantly slow down their decline while within the sect's boundaries.

However, Left Elder had less than a century left before his lifespan ended.

In recent years, both Lei Jun and Zhuo Baojie had witnessed numerous cases similar to Lu Zhaoqing's peaceful passing.

It was foreseeable that there would be more in the future.

Left Elder himself was at peace with his situation.

For him, witnessing the prosperity of the Dragon Tiger Mountain sect and the Daoist community during his lifetime was already a great satisfaction.

The world's transformation is still unfolding, and it's far from reaching a conclusion.

Zuo Li wasn't sure if he would live to see the day when everything was truly peaceful.

But he didn't dwell on it.

Living in the mountain sect was the best form of nurturing. Although his physical condition inevitably declined with age, it was also nourished, slowing down the deterioration.

Zuo Elder accepted this with serenity, continuing his duties within the mansion, managing daily affairs, and guiding younger disciples, just as he had in the past.

The mansion had considered allowing him, an elder, to retire and enjoy his twilight years, but Zuo Li had refused.

The current situation made him feel even more at ease.

Zuo Li had been serving in the Executive Hall for many years, becoming highly experienced and skilled in various aspects.

Before Zhuo Baojie took up his post as the guarding elder in the Executive Hall, he had gained much guidance and instruction from Zuo Li during his training there.

Now, with Zhuo Baojie in charge of the Executive Hall, he also received considerable assistance from Zuo Li.

Like Liu Xiao, Zuo Li had also taken on a closed-door disciple in recent years, named Su He, who had recently reached the Sixth Heaven realm, catching up with his master.

Although not as prepared as Xue Yu to challenge the Seventh Heaven realm, Su He was still young, and with the current environment of Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, he had a good chance of ascending to the Three Heavens.

For Zuo Li, life was already without regrets.

If his junior disciples could surpass him, it would be an unexpected joy.

At this thought, Elder Zuo suddenly smiled:

"Senior Brother Yuan, you must be thinking along similar lines."

Not to mention Wang Guiyuan's special circumstances, Chu Kun had already attained the Nine Heavens Great Vehicle realm of the Daoist Secret Sect.

Even with just Lei Jun, for Yuan Mo Bai, it was already a case of the student surpassing the master.

On the contrary, it was Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei, and Feng Ting who had the difficult task of surpassing their master, Lei Jun, and excelling beyond him.

However, in terms of sectarian inheritance, while continuing the legacy is the goal, ups and downs are the norm.

As long as there are successors to carry on the tradition, it's best to approach it with a calm and natural mindset.

Similar to Xue Yu and Su He, in terms of innate talent and potential, they fall short compared to Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei, Feng Ting, Qin Caimei, Cheng Rongrong, and Xin Beiyuan.

But with a calm and steady cultivation, even if they don't become pillars, they are still the foundation of the sect.

The same can be said for Qiu Ming, Xin Lu, and others.

With the integration of the human world and the growing influence of Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, more and more people are eager to join the sect.

Their backgrounds vary, but as time passes, these factors become less influential.

For Qiu Ming, his widely known identity is as the Conferring Talisman Elder of Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, not as the prince of Rongguo, one of the sixteen countries of Datong.

The same goes for Xin Lu.

Nowadays, whether inside or outside Dragon and Tiger Mountain, when people mention him, they refer to him as Elder Xin of the Celestial Master Mansion, and few still associate him with the relationship between Datong and the Zhou Heavenly Son.

Within Datong, similar matters are also rarely mentioned these days.

It's not that the Duke of Rongguo and the Zhou Heavenly Son don't benefit from this relationship.

But for them, the identities of Qiu Ming and Xin Lu are starting to transcend their previous connections.

Especially for Qiu Ming, after years of quiet cultivation, he has recently entered seclusion to prepare for the challenge of the Seventh Heaven.

Xin Lu is slightly behind Qiu Ming in this regard. On one hand, it's because he received the talisman conferment a session later, and on the other hand, his innate talent and foundation are not as well-suited to the Talisman Sect's lineage as Qiu Ming's.

In the past, Xin Lu used to be quite concerned about this, striving day and night in his cultivation.

But in recent years, he no longer has such thoughts.

His cultivation path has become smoother.

It's not that he has become lazy, but rather, he continues to cultivate diligently, without the previous tension, avoiding the pitfall of haste leading to failure.

Although Qiu Ming may reach the Upper Three Heavens first, Xin Lu doesn't mind and instead wishes his fellow disciple success.

"Guo Meimei, you have the intention to venture out and establish a new sect?"

In the Three Pure Ones Three Treasures Heavenly Realm, Lei Jun received his fellow disciple, Guo Yan.

Guo Yan paid her respects to Lei Jun, "With the integration of the human world, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Recently, I happened to find a spiritually blessed place, so I have the intention to establish a new branch for our sect. I've come to seek permission from Elder Zhuo."

Lei Jun replied, "The flourishing of our sect through branching out is a fortunate event. Your dedication, Guo Meimei, is admirable, and I will certainly grant your request. Please discuss the necessary arrangements with Elder Hua and Elder Zuo."

Guo Yan bowed, "I will follow Elder Zhuo's instructions."

Most of the daily affairs in the Celestial Master Mansion no longer require Lei Jun's attention.

However, for matters like Guo Yan's intention to establish a new sect and continue the Talisman Sect's lineage, due to their special significance, neither Zhuo Baojie, Zhang Jingzhen, nor the elders like Shangguan Ning and Liu Xiao would make decisions on their own. Instead, they instructed Guo Yan to personally seek Lei Jun's approval.

Guo Yan and Shangguan Ning's disciple, Shangguan Hong, were officially inducted into the mansion during the same conferment ceremony as Lei Jun.

Now, both of them have reached the Sixth Heaven realm in their cultivation.

In terms of age, they are only a few years younger than Lei Jun, and they have already passed the age of one hundred.

For Middle Three Heavens cultivators with a lifespan of four hundred years, they have reached a plateau in their cultivation, and while it's not impossible to continue ascending, the difficulty is relatively higher.

Nevertheless, before the age of two hundred, they still have a chance to make a final push for the Seventh Heaven.

For Guo Yan and Shangguan Hong, this is the best they can hope for.

This is the result of the abundant heavenly and earthly energy and the improved environment within the mansion.

If we look back a hundred years, given their qualifications, they would have been at the Fifth Heaven realm at this stage.

Even with the opportunity for a final push, it would be a challenge to reach the Sixth Heaven before the age of two hundred.

To reach the Seventh Heaven, one would need a stroke of destiny-defying fortune, as the chances are otherwise slim, with historical precedents being extremely rare and few.

For Shangguan Hong and Guo Yan, they still hold on to the hope of reaching the Seventh Heaven.

Even if they only attain the Seventh Heaven at the age of two hundred, and with their lifespan extended to eight hundred years, they feel as if they've been given a new lease on life, retaining the hope of continuing to strive for the Eighth Heaven between the ages of two hundred and four hundred.

The contrast is stark, and the difference is as clear as day, almost akin to a life-changing opportunity.

Amongst the myriad changes, the most crucial one is the ever-rising momentum of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, which they rely on.

As such, whether it's Guo Yan, Shangguan Hong, or the other younger Middle Three Heavens cultivators in the Mansion who still aspire to ascend, they feel not only reverence but also immense gratitude towards their Supreme True Monarch, Lei Tian Shi.

Lei Jun can sense the thoughts of others.

He remains calm and unperturbed by these thoughts, not letting them stir his emotions.

For him, it's a matter of fulfilling his duties in the position he holds. Since he has taken over the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, he dedicates himself to its management.

With the Mansion thriving and its future secured, he feels he has not betrayed the decision he made when he first assumed the role of Celestial Master.

"Apart from the Sixth Heaven cultivators, the younger generation is also progressing rapidly," Lei Jun nods in satisfaction.

Although he doesn't usually involve himself in the Mansion's affairs, he is still well-informed about the general situation of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain without having to specifically inquire.

In recent years, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain has seen an increasing number of talents emerge, and their sources are becoming more diverse.

There's Wang Bujiu and Wang Jianan's distant relative, Wang Yansen, from the once-powerful Wang clan of Langya, who has long since split into different families.

There's Liang Xiaojun, who returned to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain branch after the second Huangtian Reunion, and then fully rejoined the ancestral court after the human merger.

There's even Chai Ning, a noble lady from the Song Dynasty's imperial family.

After the human merger, various factions intertwined, making the origins of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion's disciples diverse and varied.

Lei Jun has no intention of suppressing or stopping this.

Whether it's the early disciples like Zhang Jingzhen and Fang Jian, or the later ones like Qiu Ming and Xin Lu, they all serve as role models for the others.

However, there's one person in a slightly different situation.

Only a few insiders are aware of this, and Lei Jun, upon learning about it, remains as composed as ever: "Bring the person back to the mountain and initiate them into the Dao."

"I shall obey the Supreme Master's decree," Elder Ke Sicheng bows to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun's expression remains calm: "Summer Senior Brother and Summer Senior Sister have good intentions."

Hearing Lei Jun's address, Ke Sicheng breathes a slight sigh of relief, but his heart is filled with mixed emotions.

The Li family of Xinzhou has long faded into the past.

The Xia family, who were once closely associated with the Li family, has changed their name and kept a low profile over the years, to the extent that most people have forgotten that this family produced outstanding disciples like Xia Bo, Xia Xiushan, and Xia Qing.

When the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion did not expel Li Hongyu, they also did not expel Xia Bo, Xia Xiushan, and Xia Qing.

"In the past, our sect had a conflict with the Lin family of Jiangzhou. Summer Senior Brother sacrificed himself in the Battle of Poyang Marsh, and regardless of the circumstances, he died serving the greater good."

Lei Jun speaks: "The case from the past involved many parties, so our sect handled it discreetly. Now, the dust has settled, and many matters are no longer as urgent."

Ke Sicheng sighs: "The Supreme Master's magnanimity is admired by all. The Xia family has no hope of returning to the mountain gate. By not expelling them, you've already earned their gratitude. Summer Junior Brother and Summer Junior Sister only wish to contribute more to the Mansion, and that's enough to fulfill their wishes."

Lei Jun says, "We welcome the talents they recommend to the Mansion."

The person recommended by Xia Xiushan and Xia Qing is named Mo Gaoyuan.

Mo Gaoyuan is not a member of the Xia family who changed their name; instead, Xia Qing personally encountered this astonishing talent during her travels and recommended him to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, hoping he could become a disciple.

Xia Bo, the husband of Li Hongyu, was once close to Ke Sicheng's master, Yao Yuan, and they shared a deep friendship. Ke Sicheng also has a good relationship with Xia Xiushan.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Ke Sicheng, after much deliberation, finally decides to seek an audience with Lei Jun.

After leaving the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, Xia Xiushan and Xia Qing spent their entire lives with their cultivation stuck at the Middle Three Heavens and Lower Three Heavens levels.

For the massive Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, this is not a significant matter.

However, the current situation is very special in nature.

The Li family had set a bad precedent within the Mansion.

Nearly a century has passed since their demise.

After a hundred years, the related impact has gradually faded.

Especially with the current prosperity of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, which rivals the era before the Han Dynasty's great calamity, it is far superior to the post-Han era.

This contrast further diminishes the previous influence of the Li family.

But when considering the aspect of preventing small issues from becoming big ones, no one can predict whether a new catalyst might stir up the remnants of the past.

Especially with some of the current disciples being descendants of the Huangtian Reunion.

Mo Gaoyuan is not a member of the Xia family.

However, his entry will inevitably trigger memories for some.

The so-called possibility of a slippery slope often arises involuntarily.

If someone recommended by the Xia family can enter today, will it be the Xia family's turn tomorrow?

And after that?

Ke Sicheng has a good relationship with Xia Xiushan and Xia Qing, and the Supreme Master of the Tianxu Sect, Tu Guangyu, once showed kindness to the Xia family.

But even they, faced with a similar situation, cannot help but be cautious.

Therefore, after receiving the news from Xia Qing, Ke Sicheng first comes to report the matter to Lei Jun.

Seeing Lei Jun's usual calm and unperturbed demeanor, Ke Sicheng's worries subside.

"If he truly possesses exceptional talent and character, then congratulations, Elder Ke, on gaining an excellent disciple this time."

Lei Jun said.

Given Yao Yuan's relationship with Xia Bo and Ke Sicheng's willingness to take responsibility, it was natural for Ke Sicheng to take on the task of guiding Mo Gaoyuan to join the sect and become his future mentor.

Ke Sicheng bowed to Lei Jun once more before taking his leave.

Yao Yuan had not been involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, only now learning about it from Ke Sicheng's report.

He smiled and said, "Your approach is not wrong, but you underestimated the magnanimity of the Supreme Master."

Ke Sicheng spoke softly, "Disciple understands. The Supreme Master has attained the pinnacle of cultivation, ascending to immortality in the Grotto Profound realm, and resides high above in the heavens. Even if the Li family were to reappear within our sect, they would not be able to stir up any more trouble."

Yao Yuan nodded, "Indeed, the times and environment are completely different now."

Nearly a hundred years ago, the Li family's internal strife had left the Celestial Master Mansion in ruins, and it was in dire need of revival.

Tang Xiaotang took over the Dragon and Tiger Mountain sect, and within less than thirty years, the Celestial Master Mansion rose to prominence once again.

At that time, many inside and outside the mansion were already astonished by the achievements of the new Celestial Master. They often wondered what kind of accomplishments the successor would need to achieve to take the sect even further.

Maintaining a stable status quo was already enough to satisfy everyone.

But now, looking back at the sixty years since Lei Tian Shi took over the sect, the changes have been even more dramatic.

Yao Yuan and Ke Sicheng, master and disciple, stood silently, both feeling a sense of unreality, yet hoping that their sect would continue to ride the waves of the times and keep rising.

...

Although Tang Xiaotang, the former Celestial Master, was still young in terms of her current lifespan, she had already begun to be remembered fondly by her fellow sect members.

At this moment, she was in the vast universe of the demon world, engaged in a thrilling battle against a group of demons.

In the darkness of the starry sea, swept by demon winds, a majestic divine vessel flew like a spear piercing through the deep sea.

Tang Xiaotang stood at the bow of the vessel, holding the Reverse Yuan Sword, which was created by the Great Chaos, and its power was now at its peak.

She completely disregarded the Reverse Yuan Robe and the Reverse Yuan Seal.

Even though her main opponent at this moment was a Great Day Demon Sage in the second level of the Immortal realm, surrounded by numerous other heavenly demons,

But even the Great Day Demon Sage found it difficult to reach Tang Xiaotang, and the attacks of the other demons, whose powers were concentrated, also missed their mark.

The vast and majestic Supreme Vessel seemed to be burning at this moment.

It was not the vessel itself that was burning, but Tang Xiaotang's Primordial Qi.

The originally formless and intangible Primordial Qi now seemed to transform into a dazzling flame under Tang Xiaotang's will, illuminating the dark Milky Way around them.

With such power propelling it, the Supreme Vessel's speed became unimaginable.

Although the Great Day Demon Sage's speed was not as fast as the Kunpeng Demon Sage in the same realm, it was still a divine bird, and its speed was ultimately among the fastest of the great demons.

But at this moment, it clearly felt that it could not catch up with Tang Xiaotang, who was in the first level of the Immortal realm!

This Daoist nun, what speed!

The Supreme Vessel appeared massive, but under the dazzling flames, it seemed illusory and ethereal, with shimmering lights that seemed to ignore the distance of time and space, instantly closing in on the Great Day Demon Sage.

The Great Day Demon Sage was different from the Golden Crow Demon Sage, as its demonic power did not manifest as brilliant sunlight or flames, but rather as boundless darkness, devouring everything around it.

It combined its demonic power with its innate abilities, and Tang Xiaotang's previous Pre-Heaven Dragon Tiger Strike and the Reverse Yuan Sword, which she had not used to its full potential, could not break through this darkness.

But at this moment, relying on her speed advantage, Tang Xiaotang did not consider defense and struck with all her might using the Reverse Yuan Sword.

Even the darkness created by the Great Day Demon Sage was slashed apart by her.

With her understanding elevated to the level of nature, and combined with her previous accumulations, Tang Xiaotang further improved her understanding of her divine abilities and techniques, taking another step forward.

"Lei Jun's fighting style is truly exhilarating!" Tang Xiaotang's laughter filled the air as her figure flashed and disappeared, only to reappear from another direction, attacking the Great Day Demon Sage once more.

The Great Day Demon Sage let out a mournful roar and quickly fled into the distance.

Tang Xiaotang's speed was even faster than the demon's, and during the pursuit, the demon could only use its darkness to absorb and devour other demons to act as decoys.

Even so, due to Tang Xiaotang's unpredictable speed, it was difficult for the other demons to serve as shields, and her attacks still occasionally reached the Great Day Demon Sage.

However, casting such spells consumed a significant amount of energy for Tang Xiaotang, who had already ascended to immortality in the Grotto Profound realm, especially in this demon-filled world.

Therefore, the Great Day Demon Sage still had the intention to delay, waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.

As the two fought, they left the heavenly realm and descended into the vast universe of the human world, and even further, into the earth.

Tang Xiaotang, with her heroic spirit, suddenly felt a stir in her heart, and the Supreme Vessel beneath her feet trembled slightly.

It was not a direct threat, but a sense of danger arose.

Although Tang Xiaotang was fearless, she was curious and remained vigilant.

As they entered the human world and descended into the earth, they happened to arrive near the Time Abyss.

In the next moment, the Time Abyss shook, and a chaotic tide seemed to surge out from the abyss of time and space, sweeping through the four directions.

Tang Xiaotang was unaffected, but the Great Day Demon Sage, who was on guard, almost lost his footing.

He quickly stabilized his body, and with his cultivation and strength, he managed to avoid injury.

At this moment, Tang Xiaotang's attention was drawn to the other side of the Time Abyss, where there seemed to be a figure.

However, this did not distract her from continuing to slash towards the Great Day Demon Sage.

The Great Day Demon Sage's eyes widened in anger, as he was now caught between Tang Xiaotang's attack and the choice of entering the Time Abyss.

With a roar, the Great Day Demon Sage retreated into the Time Abyss.

Tang Xiaotang, for once, did not pursue, but instead watched the figure on the other side of the Time Abyss, noticing that most of them were dressed in Confucian robes.
