My clan is super powerful

Master Changtian actually wanted to stay and have a good talk with Zhang Zhi and the others, or rather, he planned to start discussing the agenda of how the human races of the two worlds should communicate in the future.

However, due to another problem with the delegation, Master Changtian and Feiyun were in a hurry to return to their clan to report the situation, so they had to give up.

However, they each left behind a trusted confidant to lay the groundwork for future cooperation.

Zhang Zhi originally intended to leave the subsequent communication with the human race on the Desolate Sky Continent to the elephant demons of the Jin Kingdom.

But then I thought, this is an exchange between humans, what do you mean by sending the demon race to communicate with the Desolate Heaven Continent?
The humans of the Desolate Sky Continent might think that I am deliberately neglecting them.

However, Zhang Zhi did not intend to have a human from within the Lingbao Small World take charge of this matter. After much deliberation, he finally decided to wait until the next opening of the Gates of Hell before bringing Yang out to preside over it.

When Zhang Zhizhe thought about the opening of the Gates of Hell, he suddenly realized a serious problem that he had previously overlooked: the strange phenomena that would occur when the Gates of Hell opened!

If the unusual phenomena that occur when the gates of hell open are not dealt with properly, it could lead to serious problems.

In that case, I'll have to ask my teacher to cover for me.

So, it seems I need to inform my teacher about matters related to the underworld?
After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhi thought that he could still cover it up for a short period of time.

There weren't many souls around the Lingbao Small World, and the souls that had accumulated over the past few hundred years had already entered the Gates of Hell when it opened.

Therefore, even if the Gates of Hell open in the Lingbao Small World, the scene of countless monsters rushing about in the Refining Qi Small World will not occur.

If there are no cultivators around who understand the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and if one controls the range of the Six Paths of Reincarnation when the Gates of Hell open, then it's not certain that anyone will notice anything amiss.

Therefore, I must find a way to refuse high-level cultivators from going to my spiritual treasure world, so that the situation of my underworld will not spread.

Well, it would be best to be honest with the teacher about matters related to the underworld, and ask Him to cover it up. Then, I can find a way to control the number of high-level cultivators from the Desolate Heaven Continent entering the small world.

After all, the enormous vortex that appears when the gates of hell open can only be considered foolproof if the teacher takes action to arrange and conceal it.

With double insurance, the possibility of the Six Paths of Reincarnation being leaked is not high.

Therefore, the best option is to follow Professor Yuan Zi's suggestion and find a cave somewhere outside the Desolate Sky Continent, and then move all the places where we communicate with the Desolate Sky Continent there.

In this way, the risk of leakage will be greatly reduced.

After making up his mind, Zhang Zhi thought he could ask the two human cultivators who stayed behind later to see if the humans on the Desolate Heaven Continent had occupied any cave dwellings outside the Desolate Heaven Continent.

...

In the following period, the huge red cloud formed by the fire began to develop in an irregular shape, and at the same time, the pressure it emitted became stronger and stronger.

After about a month, the oppressive force emanating from the cloud reached its peak, and then began to slowly decrease.

As the oppressive force began to decrease, many of the professors present turned to look at the enormous fiery cloud.

Professor Confucius looked at the cloud and said in a cryptic tone, "The soul fluctuations have completely disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Professor Yuan Zi, who was standing nearby, said with some emotion, "The fluctuations of the soul have all disappeared; this is equivalent to the soul being scattered!"

"This Huo Ran is really quite harsh on himself."

Many of the professors present nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Indeed, this person is truly ruthless to himself. If He had been even a tiny bit selfish, He would surely be back on the Desolate Sky Continent alive and kicking by now.

As many people were reflecting on this, a professor nearby spoke up: "If the soul fluctuations have dissipated, then the Dispersing Element Elimination should be entering the next stage."

"However, the elemental race's ability to disperse and disappear is indeed quite sophisticated."

“I have been paying attention to the process of the fire-burning elemental dissipation, but I still can’t be sure how the elemental race integrates their memories and heritage into that special energy cluster.”

"There's no way to determine exactly how this 'dispersing essence and disappearing form' spreads the inheritance."

Another professor next to him laughed and said, "If you could so easily uncover the secret of the elemental race's ability to dissipate and disappear, then this supernatural power would be something that everyone in the multiverse possesses."

"After all, this divine power is most suitable for nurturing the next generation."

The professor laughed and said, "That's true. After all, this is the elemental race's signature divine ability. If it were so easy for us to see through it, then this ability to disperse and disappear would be a disgrace."

Professor Confucius listened to the discussions of the professors around him, glanced at Huo Ran's now completely deformed body, and said, "This Dispersing Element and Disappearing Form has only entered the second stage. Let's wait until this supernatural power has completely subsided before we discuss it again."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

However, the second stage of the dispersive element elimination took longer than anyone expected.

About a month later, the huge cloud began to slowly disperse the purest fire elemental energy in all directions.

Professor Confucius went to the cloud and walked around it. He came back and said that, judging from the current rate at which the energy is dissipating, it would take about 180 years for the energy contained in the cloud to completely dissipate.

Upon hearing that it would take so long, all the professors shook their heads in disapproval.

After checking the red cloud and confirming that there was no way to see the scattered elements disappear in a short time, the professors began to return to the main world one after another.

This is the most crucial juncture in the development of the human race, and all the professors are extremely busy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are handling a myriad of affairs every day.

They had squeezed in time to come to the Lingbao Small World, so after confirming that the power of dispersing essence and vanishing form would not subside in a short time, they all began to head back home.

As the professors were preparing to head home, Professor Yuan jokingly remarked that the reason the Dispersing Element Disappearance lasted for so long was likely due to the elemental race's deliberate manipulation.

Because there is simply no one who could have observed the changes in a cloud with complete focus for over a hundred years.

Even a God-level being wouldn't be able to do it.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

If this Dispersing Essence and Disappearing Form Divine Power only lasts for a few months or a year or two, there will definitely be many beings at the God Realm who would be willing to spend several years observing the entire process of the divine power.

However, if it were a hundred years or more, very few God-level beings would be willing to do that. After all, a cursory observation is certainly not enough to see what's so special about the Dispersing Essence and Disappearing Form.

However, concentrating on observing a cloud cluster the size of a small world consumes a great deal of mental energy, and very few people can persist for a hundred or eighty years or even longer.

It is very likely that the elemental race has preserved the secret of the dispersing and disappearing of elements precisely because of this characteristic.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, before leaving, Confucius left behind a clone of himself.

At the same time, when Professor Confucius was about to leave, Zhang Zhi also privately reported the relevant matters of the underworld to Him.

After hearing Zhang Zhi's account of the information related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld, Professor Confucius looked Zhang Zhi up and down again.

However, He didn't say much this time, only saying, "When that so-called Gate of Hell is about to open, remember to let me know."

After seeing all the professors off, Zhang Zhi glanced at the three women beside him and then asked, "Would you like to continue wandering around in my little world, or would you like to return to the main world now?"

In the past few months, Zixia and her friends have actually toured the entire Lingbao Small World.

So, after thinking it over, the three women also chose to return to the main world.

After sending the three women to the exit of the Gate of the World, Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment and did not rush back to the main world.

He first gave a general overview of the entire small world.

Because of the visiting delegation, the main gods of the human race, and the cloud formed by the enormous body of Huo Ran outside the small world, the Lingbao Small World was very peaceful during this period.

The Buddhist sect was relieved during this time because the demons of the gods surrounding them in Jin retreated back into Jin after Huo Ran revealed his enormous form.

Without those few demon race members at the Divine Realm level overseeing things, the Buddhist path suddenly became much easier.

Zhang Zhi carefully examined the cultivators along the Buddhist path, and after confirming that the branch of cultivation techniques from that Buddhist path had not reappeared, he nodded slowly in his heart.

Then, with a thought, he entered the underworld.

His trip to the underworld was naturally to inform Yang and instruct him to prepare for receiving the next group of visitors from the human race of the Desolate Heaven Continent.

After listening to Zhang Zhi's instructions, Yang pondered for a long time before finally speaking with a hint of helplessness: "Your Excellency, I haven't had any contact with those younger generations of humans in the small world for a long time. It can be said that I have completely severed all ties with them."

"You're sending Xia Xiu back to the mortal realm to preside over negotiations between the human races of these two worlds. Doesn't that make everything Xia Xiu did before a waste?"

"Furthermore, Xia Xiu hasn't shown his face in front of the human race in the small world for a long time. There's no way to be sure whether Xia Xiu's old face can still command human cultivators."

Hearing Yang's words, Zhang Zhi shook his head and said, "I didn't want everything you did before to be in vain, so I brought you back to the Lingbao Small World to take charge of the clan's affairs."

"Let me tell you straight, the human race that you have painstakingly nurtured is now in a very bad state."

"If your successors remain in the same situation, I plan to give up on them completely."

Yang was startled upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words.

After his pupils contracted sharply, Yang slowly spoke, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what have those junior cultivators done that has caused you to have such a strong opinion against them?"

Zhang Zhi glanced down at him, then shook his head and said, "I think you should know the answer to this."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have said just now whether those high-ranking human leaders would still recognize your old face."

"If you really can't be sure, then you'd better take on the task I've given you and go back to the small world to find out what's going on with your descendants."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi continued, "There are still three months until the next opening of the Gates of Hell. I will come to ask you again when the Gates of Hell open."

"If you really don't want to, I won't force you."

"However, there is one thing you need to understand: I have quite a few humans under my command."

"The people inside the Lingbao Small World are in a very strange state."

"I don't like it very much."

"Therefore, if their current situation does not improve within a certain period of time, they will have no future in my world!"

"I even plan to have humans from other worlds replace them!"

Upon hearing what His Excellency said, Yang took a deep breath, then bowed and said, "Yang understands!"

After glancing at Yang again, Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly, and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

Zhang Zhi could probably understand Yang's ulterior motives.

Currently, Yang and Fang Sanzang's power in the underworld can be said to be evenly matched.

At the same time, with Yang's power, he had long ago seen how promising the Six Paths of Reincarnation were.

If he were to leave the Underworld now and return to the Spirit Treasure Small World, the power he had painstakingly built within the Underworld would likely be dismantled and infiltrated by Fang Sanzang through various means.

At that time, the foundation he painstakingly built in the underworld will likely be lost.

Therefore, he was not very willing to return to the Lingbao Small World to preside over the matters of human communication between the two worlds.

After all, this was a huge loss for him.

However, the human race in the Lingbao Small World is his base. If he were to abandon the human race in the Lingbao Small World, he would almost never be able to obtain enough high-level cultivators from the Lingbao Small World in the future.

Meanwhile, Fang Sanzang is able to continuously replenish his reserve power from the Qi Refining Small World. With this ebb and flow, even if he can currently hold his own against Fang Sanzang, he will definitely be gradually suppressed by Fang Sanzang in the future.

As for how to choose between these two aspects, that depends on what Yang ultimately thinks. (End of Chapter)
