Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 242 The Real Big Plan

Under normal circumstances, within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," advancing to a higher realm automatically elevates one's seniority.

Now, people who are not close to Li Yunjing and the others have to change their address when they see them, calling them Uncle Li, Uncle Yu, or Uncle Lü.

"By the way, how's Senior Brother Li doing?"

After chatting for a while, an inner disciple asked a question out of curiosity.

"There's no news coming back yet. But our sect's attack went smoothly, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Yu Yunyi shook her head slightly; she also wanted to know the specifics.

Unfortunately, even as a true disciple, I wasn't qualified to receive specific battle reports from the front lines.

Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere among the crowd, Lü Ruoxi smiled and said, "With the sound of spring thunder, Heaven blesses my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'! This is the best opportunity to attack! My 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' will surely win!"

"Senior Sister Lü is absolutely right!"

Many seasoned experts, understanding Lü Ruoxi's meaning, nodded in agreement.

"Senior Sister Lü, what does this mean?"

Some disciples who didn't understand asked curiously.

“Your cultivation levels are too low! You don’t know that almost all Foundation Establishment cultivators in my ‘Divine Firmament Dao Sect’ have practiced thunder magic.”

Lu Ruoxi said calmly, "Whenever spring thunder rumbles, my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' is blessed by the power of nature and possesses supreme thunder magic. Subduing demons and monsters is a piece of cake!"

"I never knew there was such a saying!"

Ma Xingyuan was surprised. He immediately asked, "But can one use lightning magic without a lightning spiritual root?"

When asked this question, Ma Xingyuan was a little uneasy. He didn't have a lightning spiritual root and didn't know if he had any hope of using lightning magic.

He was eager to know the answer to this question.

"Don't worry! Thunder magic is very special! There are many kinds. My 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' has all kinds of thunder magic that you can cultivate."

Yu Yunyi remained calm. This kind of thing was known to almost all true disciples and Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Ma Xingyuan and the others would find out about it sooner or later.

"I see!"

Ma Xingyuan nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Who among those who join the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" wouldn't want to learn the incredibly powerful lightning magic?

Now that he has a chance, he is naturally happy.

……

While Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were leading everyone in a meeting for the outer sect competition, on the other side, Xing'er, Yue'er, and Feng Xueting, guided by Cong Rujin, had already arrived at "Ten Thousand Swords City".

The four of them personally went to the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" and sought an audience with the sect leader, Tian Jianzi.

In the spacious reception room of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect," both sides took their seats as host and guest.

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Li to have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm! Congratulations!"

After Xing'er and Yue'er introduced their identities and origins, Tian Jianzi's expression became somewhat complicated.

Around this time last year, Li Yunjing came to the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" to check the accounts. Because he had been assassinated, Tian Jianzi still had a deep impression of this nobody.

"Back then, Li Yunjing's cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, right?"

Who could have imagined that in just one year, this inner disciple would break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm? This caused a huge uproar in Tian Jianzi's heart.

Such talent and gift were something Tian Jianzi had never even heard of before!

Such a person would surely stand out in a major sect like the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" and gain a reputation that would shock the Southern Heaven Continent.

Thinking of this, Tian Jianzi's expression became even more amiable. The twins in front of him were Li Yunjing's women, so he would grant their request and form a good relationship.

"Hehe! Miss Xing'er, Miss Yue'er, since you are Fellow Daoist Li's partners and wish to do business in my 'Ten Thousand Swords City', there's nothing more to say! I will definitely give you my full support!"

Having made up his mind, Tian Jianzi immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Thank you so much, Sect Leader Tianjianzi! We will definitely tell our husband that when he returns from the front lines, we will have him come in person to express our gratitude for Sect Leader Tianjianzi's care!"

"I've gained a lot of experience now," Yue'er said with a light laugh.

"Hahaha! No problem! No problem!"

Tian Jianzi stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. Wasn't this exactly what he had been waiting for?
Tian Jianzi thought for a moment, then turned to an elder of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" beside him and asked, "Are there any shops in the city with good locations?"

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, there is a shop located near the square, with an area of ​​over a thousand square meters, a three-story building."

"The owner of this shop is getting old and doesn't want to run it anymore. He's been busy selling it recently, but because of the high price, there are many people interested, but he hasn't found a suitable person to take it over yet."

The elder beside him responded.

"Oh? Is this shop called 'Qingya Talisman Shop'?"

Cong Rujin's heart stirred, and he asked with great curiosity.

After hearing Cong Rujin's words, Xing'er, Yue'er, and Feng Xueting looked at Cong Rujin and gestured with their eyes to ask him if the location of the shop was good or bad.

Cong Rujin understood and nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Cong, you remember it clearly! It's this very shop. Everyone, look!"

The elder nodded to Cong Rujin, then took out a map, unfolded it with a "whoosh," and held it in his hand, instantly revealing the street scene of "Ten Thousand Swords City."

The elder pointed towards the commercial street, then pointed to a shop and said, "This is it! Look at this! The location is absolutely fantastic!"

Xing'er, Yue'er, Feng Xueting, and Cong Rujin took one look and found it to be a good place.

The "Qingya Talisman Shop" is located near the intersection of the crossroads. The square in front of it is the street stall area prepared by the "Wanjian Sect" for independent cultivators.

While this place may not be considered one of the best locations, it is certainly among the top-tier locations within "Ten Thousand Swords City".

Xing'er, Yue'er, Feng Xueting, and Cong Rujin nodded to each other, clearly indicating that they all approved of the place.

"Alright! We'll choose this place! I wonder if Sect Leader Tianjianzi could send a disciple to guide us? We'd like to talk to the merchants."

"Xing'er asked."

"That's easy to say!"

Tian Jianzi was very magnanimous. He waved his hand to indicate his agreement. "Summon Deacon Deng Yanshi! He used to have a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Li! I'll feel more at ease having Deacon Deng Yanshi in charge of this matter."

Tian Jianzi gave the order.

Immediately, a disciple used a "message talisman" to send a message to Master Deng Yan, telling him what had happened.

Before long, Deng Yanshi arrived.

He looked at the twins, Xing'er and Yue'er, and was captivated by their beauty, secretly envying Li Yunjing's good fortune with women.

However, he was even more shocked that Li Yunjing was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in such a short time. He could hardly believe that he had actually communicated with such a genius for so many days.

"Master Deng Yan, you must take good care of our distinguished guests! Try to lower the prices at 'Qingya Talisman Shop,' don't let the people from 'Xingyue Trading Company' suffer losses. Understand?"

Tian Jianzi looked at this disciple who had the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader! This disciple understands!"

Deng Yanshi nodded, indicating that he understood.

With the assistance of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect", Xing'er and Yue'er quickly reached a deal with the owner of the "Qingya Talisman Shop" after finding him.

These days, "Star Moon Trading Company" is doing very well and has become one of the most famous shops in "Red Sun Market".

In the "Red Sun Valley", many of the resident disciples of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" chose "Star Moon Trading Company" as their first choice of shop because of Fang Yuxuan's instructions.

It was precisely because of this that Xing'er and Yue'er had the confidence to come to "Ten Thousand Swords City" to rent shops and open a second branch.

……

While both sides were pushing forward with the cause they wanted to accomplish, as Li Yunjing intended, the spring thunder in the "Crossing Mountains" indeed greatly boosted the morale of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

This thunderstorm lasted for seven days and seven nights.

The thunder covering the "crossing mountains" almost never stopped.

Almost any gathering point of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was bombarded by countless bolts of lightning.

Those places were filled with disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" who were using the method of drawing down the power of thunder from the sky and integrating it into their bodies.

No one knows why this spring thunder came so suddenly and for so long.

Everyone, including Li Yunjing, had collected saturated lightning power within their bodies. When no one could absorb any more lightning, suddenly, terrifying lightning erupted everywhere across the "Across the Mountains," and the shouts and battle cries of countless cultivators resounded continuously.

"Attention everyone! Four people stay behind! The rest of you, follow me!"

After Li Yunjing and the others had absorbed all the lightning power, Yu Yuanhua suddenly floated in mid-air and shouted.

Yu Yuanhua also received the signal to attack!

"Boom!"

Yu Yuanhua released a "Azure Cloud Boat". Azure light shone on the entire "Azure Cloud Boat". The "Azure Cloud Boat" was activated immediately and pushed to its limit.

Li Yunjing was the first to fly into the air on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Then, countless streaks of light rose up from within "Huanglong Ridge," and everyone headed towards "Qingyun Boat."

Only four slow-moving disciples remained, looking at each other in bewilderment, and had no choice but to stay and guard the "Huanglongling Mine".

"set off!"

Seeing the twenty-four Foundation Establishment cultivators enter the "Azure Cloud Boat," Yu Yuanhua immediately gave an order, and the "Azure Cloud Boat" began its journey northward with a rumbling sound.

"I didn't expect the final battle to begin so soon!"

On the "Azure Cloud Boat," Li Yunjing looked solemn and seemed to be deep in thought.

The real battle has arrived, which seems to have been exactly as Li Yunjing expected. With the sound of "spring thunder", everyone in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has become much stronger. With the support of the thunder and rain, how could other sects be a match for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?

"Could some important figure from a sect have been performing a ritual during this thunderstorm?"

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

Not long after the "Azure Cloud Boat" set sail, amidst thunder and rain, more and more "Azure Cloud Boats" converged on this side, forming a fleet.

Two, three, four... Finally, after Li Yunjing's "Azure Cloud Boat" flew out of the "Crossing Mountains", their fleet consisted of a total of thirty-six "Azure Cloud Boats".

Ahead of the fleet lay a vast battlefield.

High in the sky, in mid-air, and on the ground, there were warships of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" everywhere, including "Qingyun Boat" and "Shenxiao Warship". There were hundreds of these warships of all sizes!

"Boom!"

The warships continued to bombard the flying objects in front of them!

Between the two sides, warships were constantly being hit, bursting with colorful light as they fell towards the ground. Many powerful cultivators also flew out of their warships and engaged in fierce battles.

Especially high in the sky, a tremendous roar comparable to thunder could be faintly heard. In the sky, beams of divine light pierced through the clouds and shot down to the earth, directly blasting out a crater thousands of feet deep.

At the edge of the earth, on a huge "Gate of Hell," eerie ghosts constantly materialized, flying towards the warships of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to tear them apart.

As soon as Li Yunjing's fleet appeared on the battlefield, it fired "Thunder Cannons" at the enemy opposite it.

Ahead of Li Yunjing and his group were rows of large, skeletal ships, all adorned with ghost banners. These ships varied in size and fired black rays at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" fleet in retaliation.

"Ahead lies the behemoth of the demonic path, the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect'! A sect on par with my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'! This time, we are waging war against the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect'! We will crush them, occupy the 'Nether Moon Kingdom', and incorporate the 'Across the Mountains' into the territory of my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

Finally, Yu Yuanhua shouted passionately, his eyes shining brightly, and his whole body trembling with excitement.

The moment has finally arrived to unveil the grand plan of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

He could finally open his heart and share his joy with his fellow disciples!
"Wow..."

Li Yunjing and his group of twenty-four were all shocked. Although they had witnessed the scene of war before them, they still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after hearing Yu Yuanhua's words.

No one expected that the sect's ambitions were so great!

They actually want to conquer a behemoth sect, a demonic sect with several Nascent Soul Realm experts!

"This is the sect I serve!"

Even Li Yunjing's breathing became rapid. He never expected that the Sect Master would plan such a big move after emerging from seclusion!

If the plan is realized and the "Youyue Kingdom" is indeed conquered, the "Hengyue Mountain Range" that blocked the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" from conquering the Southern Continent will become an internal mountain range!
Once the demons and monsters on the mountain are wiped out and a wide road is carved out, and then the weather is changed by supernatural powers, one can travel freely and venture into all parts of the Southern Continent!
In this way, the blockade that other forces attempted to block against the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" was completely lifted.
