Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 796 Qingqiu, Taixu

Li Haoran asked, puzzled, "True Lord, what does 'law vibration' mean?"

Zhenyue Zhenjun gave a brief explanation and said in a deep voice:
"Could you fly back to the sect to inquire? I have a feeling that the turmoil may have originated from within the Golden Spirit Sect."

"let me try."

As Li Haoran spoke, he leaped off the spirit boat, riding the sword light and flying forward at great speed.

He has an identity jade token, which allows him to freely enter and exit the sect's protective array. However, if the array is fully activated, a special array token is required to enter and exit.

The sword light stopped in front of the mountain-protecting formation. He made a hand seal, trying to open a gap in the formation, but found nothing.

He flew back to the spirit boat and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Reporting to the True Lord, the mountain-protecting formation has been fully activated, isolating both the inside and outside. I am unable to enter it."

Zhenyue Zhenjun frowned and pondered, then said:
"Back in the cabin, we need to raise the spirit boat and go above the mountain-protecting array to see what's going on over there."

The mountain-protecting formation can seal off the underground and the sky, but even the Taixu Sect's formation cannot seal off the high sky, so there is no need for it.

The larger the sealed area, the more spiritual energy is consumed, and the greater the burden on the spiritual veins.

The group returned to their cabin, and Zhenyue Zhenjun personally piloted the spirit boat, which quickly ascended and then sped off in a west-northwest direction.

The spirit boat was extremely fast, even faster than the flight speed of an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator. In less than a quarter of an hour, the flying boat arrived at the edge of the area where the law vibrations were most intense and hovered in the air.

Everyone saw the spiritual energy spread across hundreds of acres, with intense fluctuations like ocean waves, spreading outwards in waves. The mountain-protecting formation was impacted from within, causing ripples to spread outwards.

The tremors in the void startled Li Haoran, but what excited him even more was the vast fluctuations of spiritual energy below, which resembled the phenomenon that only occurs when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Senior Brother Ji has received the Five Elements Sect's inheritance; is this the final step?"

He was feeling excited when he heard the words of the True Lord of Huayin.

"The spiritual energy is soaring, but I can sense a faint trace of demonic power. Cousin, is my spiritual sense accurate?"

"Yes, it is a demon beast that is breaking through. This demon beast has great potential and its bloodline is very pure, which is why its demon power is faint."

Zhenyue Zhenjun sighed and laughed:
"Demonic beasts do not need Nascent Soul Pills to advance to the Transformation Realm. If they succeed in breaking through, your sect will have a powerful transformed demon as a guardian spirit beast."

He had many doubts in his heart. Along the way, he could see by the moonlight that the Western Continent had suffered severe ravages, but the Golden Spirit Sect seemed to have been unaffected.

'Could it be that the Western Continent is lucky enough that no Nascent Soul level True Demons have arrived?'

If that's the case, it must be said that this is a blessing for the Western Continent.

Huayin Zhenjun laughed crisply, "This is truly a joyous occasion, congratulations to you both!"

Li Haoran scratched his head, completely clueless as to what kind of spirit beast was breaking through, and he couldn't recall any spirit beast that had been able to take this step.

Huayin Zhenjun then said:
"Cousin, let's go around here. Nobody knows when the lightning tribulation will come down. It's dangerous to get too close."

"Alright, let's fly out of the protective array and visit again in a few days when things have settled down."

Li Xiaoyou, which way is closer to fly?

Now is not a good time to visit. If the demon beast has not successfully broken through, we should visit it in a few more days.

Li Haoran pointed to the vortex of spiritual energy that shimmered with a warm glow under the moonlight and said:
"You can leave by going around here and walking west for several dozen miles."

The following day, Li Haoran rode his sword and left the spirit boat.

Huayin Zhenjun lowered her long, dark eyebrows and said softly:

"Cousin, I have a bad feeling."

This morning she was somewhat uneasy, feeling that the negotiations with the Golden Spirit Sect would encounter unexpected twists and turns.

This premonition came out of nowhere, yet it was extremely strong; the cultivators had great faith in any sudden, intuitive feeling.

Zhenyue Zhenjun reached out and stroked his Daoist partner's cheek, speaking gently:

"A premonition about something?"

"Of course it's about 'negotiating with the Golden Spirit Sect to get Li Haoran to join the sect'."

After recounting his own situation, Huayin Zhenjun then said:
"According to our initial plan, many forces in the Western Continent had already been captured by the True Demon Army, so there would be no point in negotiating. Unexpectedly, the Golden Spirit Sect was completely unharmed."

In this regard, Master Xuanqing is safe in the sect, after all, he has done me a favor, and I cannot force him excessively.

Furthermore, if they possess powerful demons capable of transforming into human form, it would be an even greater disadvantage for us.

Although there was no formal contact with the Golden Spirit Sect cultivators, bad news had already arrived, and she felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over their side.

Zhenyue Zhenjun withdrew his raised hand and nodded slightly:
"Actually, I knew when I found out that Jinling Sect was not in any trouble that the most crucial factor was not on our side. The choice was in Li Haoran's hands, and it was up to him to decide."

The Taixu Sect is a top sect in the Central Continent. Although they highly regard Li Haoran, they would not resort to underhanded means to coerce him.

Furthermore, if you force someone to join you, their loyalty will be greatly reduced, and you won't get any help from them.

Huayin Zhenjun nodded, "Then let's see what Xiao Li chooses."

Hu Yujie and Hu Yuniang each rode their own spirit clouds, the wind whistling past their ears. The Celestial Fox Clan had spent a great deal of effort to purify the various points of the Qingqiu spiritual vein. Those points that were difficult to purify were isolated by magic arrays, and they planned to use the power of time to purify them slowly.

We don't ask that these nodes can be restored, we only hope that these places don't develop to the point of becoming a land of spiritual desolation. Even if the spiritual veins completely wither, it will still be a victory.

Now that everything in Qingqiu is settled, Hu Yujie borrowed a batch of resources from her clansmen, intending to repay the life-saving grace as soon as possible, so that people wouldn't think that the Heavenly Fox Clan was ungrateful.

Hu Yuniang pointed to a steep cliff in front of her and said:
“Sister, please look. That dangerous mountain is called Divine Eagle Cliff. If you cross the mountain and travel east for several hundred miles, you will reach the Golden Spirit Sect.”

There was a hint of regret in her voice.

Back then, she remotely controlled the various demon kings to attack the Western Continent. At that time, the Golden Spirit Sect, Fallen Maple Valley, and Yuanhe Mountain were the main targets. At that time, no one could have imagined that the Golden Spirit Sect would give birth to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Based on her sister's description, she couldn't believe that this Nascent Soul True Monarch was capable of slaughtering a late-stage Nascent Soul True Demon.

Did the other party have a motive to lie? Yes!

Being captured by a true demon is not a glorious thing, so exaggerating the enemy's strength can save face.

However, the Grand Elder was also aware of this matter, and the other party could not possibly lie to the Grand Elder.

A smile flashed in Hu Yujie's eyes. "Thank you for taking the time to accompany me, sister. We'll arrive at our destination in about fifteen minutes."

Although they spent very little time together, she felt a deep respect for that not-so-tall figure.

The other party was the first human cultivator she had come into contact with, and he was not at all as weak as her fellow clansmen had described; on the contrary, he was terrifyingly strong.

In other words, being friends with her makes her feel at ease.

"You're too kind, little sister."

Hu Yuniang smiled gently. She was still carrying out the Grand Elder's secret order to carefully assess the potential of the Golden Spirit Sect and True Monarch Xuanqing, as this would affect their relationship.

The Grand Elder was unwilling to see a powerful human force take root in the Western Continent, as this would hinder the status of the Celestial Fox Clan in the future.

In addition, the tradition of driving away low-level monsters that attack humans once every three thousand years must continue, and the number of monsters must be reduced in order to make room for survival.

These issues need to be discussed in detail; she is responsible for assessing whether the Golden Spirit Sect will have a stable Nascent Soul inheritance.

The elder did not distrust Hu Yujie, but such matters could not be discussed based solely on the one-sided account of a clansman.

The best outcome would be that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Golden Spirit Sect would be a fleeting phenomenon, unable to sustain their prosperity. This is what Qingqiu would most like to see, and it best serves the interests of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

The two celestial foxes activated their demonic power, increasing their speed even further.

The spirit boat hovered thirty miles away from the Golden Spirit Sect's protective array, while Zhenyue Zhenjun and his companion flew slowly close to the ground, leaving a few disciples to guard the spirit boat.

They were searching for and examining the traces left on the ground, from which they could deduce a great deal.

"Judging from the level of pollution, there is a true demon army stationed here, which means that the Golden Spirit Sect was not immune to the siege."

However, since it's impossible to determine the level of the True Demon Commander, it's also impossible to indirectly judge the true strength of the Golden Spirit Sect.

Huayin Zhenjun released her magic, and a crack appeared in the ground. She observed the color of the soil and made her judgment:

"This place was scorched by powerful flames, which means that cultivators went out to fight, probably a few years before the end of the great calamity."

Based on this, it can be inferred that the Golden Spirit Sect cultivators likely went out to fight, which also suggests that the Western Continent probably never encountered a Nascent Soul level True Demon Commander.

In her subconscious, she never imagined that a Nascent Soul cultivator would be born in the Golden Spirit Sect.

Zhenyue Zhenjun suddenly looked up, sensing a powerful aura rapidly approaching:
"Something's up. There are two auras at the Nascent Soul level."

As he spoke, he summoned the Heaven-Turning Seal and held it in his hand, releasing the aura of a Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivator.

The yellow, jade-like spiritual treasure was only the size of a fist. It concealed all its aura, like a plaything, only revealing its thunderous power when needed.

Huayin Zhenjun also secretly took precautions and summoned a white jade plate, which floated behind her like a full moon.

Although the serene light emitted by the magical artifact was not dazzling, it was clearly visible in the sunlight.

Soon, two female cultivators appeared in their field of vision, both dressed in white silk dresses, their flight as graceful as fairies descending to earth.

The female cultivators sensed their presence, slowed their flight, and stopped three miles away.

Hu Yuniang lowered her voice, "Strange, how come there are two unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivators in this place?"

She couldn't understand what was going on, and looked at her younger sister beside her, silently asking a question.

Hu Yujie observed for a moment, then pointed to the spirit boat not far from the cultivator and said:
"There's a mark on it. I remember it's the mark of a Nascent Soul sect in Central Continent. Do you recognize it, sister?"

Hu Yuniang then noticed the markings on the side of the incantation, and after a moment of recollection, said:
"I remember now, this is the mark of the Taixu Sect, which is also a top-tier Nascent Soul sect in the Central Continent."

Although it doesn't have as long a history as our Qingqiu, it is still a force that experienced the last True Demon Calamity.

"Sister, should we go around them?"
