Chapter 824: Chapter 324: Taking the Initiative (Double-Length Chapter)_3
The battle that broke through the ancestor land of Jinzhou left the high-level members of the Ye Clan largely unharmed, except for Ye Han and Ye Zhenxing, who were killed by Lei Jun on the outskirts.
Therefore, over the years, only Upper Three Heavens cultivators like Ye Morong, Ye Han, Ye Liang, Ye Feishan, Ye Lingxi, and Ye Zhenxing have perished.
This attack on the ancestor land in Cangzhou forced some of the Cangzhou Ye Clan’s elders, who had been in seclusion, to emerge. Much like Lin Jian and Lin Zhan of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, due to old age, these elders had secluded themselves for years, only appearing in the most critical moments.
Including these exposed individuals, the Cangzhou Ye Clan still has over twenty Upper Three Heavens Great Scholars, showcasing the foundation of their noble family.
Li Yan and others succeeded this time not only because the newly built Cangzhou ancestor land was unstable, but also because the clan leader Ye Moquan left the Ye Clan unprepared, resulting in being caught off guard.
Lei Jun: "If Ye Feishan were alive, there might be a chance to continue, but now that Ye Feishan is dead, Li Yan’s chance of continued revenge is much smaller."
Tang Xiaotang stopped in her tracks: "Then it’s time for me to find him."
Lei Jun: "That’s entirely up to you, junior sister, but since you’ve recently cultivated to the Ninth Heavenly Layer, you can choose your new Innate Divine Ability. Do you have a target? Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans, perhaps?"
Tang Xiaotang: "I already have my own Shenxiao Pure Yang Talisman and Pure Yang Immortal Thunder, so I’m not so focused on the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Speaking of new divine abilities, I do have some thoughts..."
As she said this, she gazed intently at Lei Jun.
Lei Jun looked down at his Taoist Robe.
The robe wasn’t dirty.
"Your Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript is quite impressive." Tang Xiaotang said earnestly.
Lei Jun knew she wasn’t looking to learn it, but had other ideas: "Junior sister is planning to create a divine ability tailored to your situation for insight?"
"Exactly!"
Tang Xiaotang puffed out her cheeks: "You and senior sister find people and things easily, but this time Li Yan escaped me in the Earth Sea. This can’t continue. I must find a way to enhance my supernatural power in this area!"
Lei Jun: "Actually, finding people in the Earth Sea isn’t as easy as outside..."
Tang Xiaotang sat down on a chair and snorted: "I want to drag Li Yan out right now, but you remind me. Sharpening a knife doesn’t delay the chopping of firewood; I’ll prepare for the supernatural spells aspect first, and settle accounts with him later."
After a slight pause, she added: "And Huang Xuanpu and the others!"
Lei Jun: "Wishing you swift success, junior sister. If needed, I can always condense the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript for your observation and reference."
Tang Xiaotang: "That’s not necessary, I already have ideas after looking at your Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman."
She then asked: "By the way, when is senior sister returning?"
Lei Jun: "Senior sister asked me to notify her once there’s further progress on the Ziwei Sword."
Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips at this word: "Tsk, I was hoping to spar with her."
With this said, she became enthusiastic, rubbing her hands: "Now that everyone is in the Mahayana Realm, we can finally have a real battle!"
Lei Jun: "Uh, junior sister, even within the Ninth Heavenly Layer, there are five levels..."
Tang Xiaotang waved her hand: "Those are not important!"
Lei Jun: "Let’s finish dealing with this Mortal Tao Country task first."
Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, senior sister mentioned looking for Time-related Spiritual Objects. Have you had any breakthrough?"
Lei Jun nodded, then recounted the matters involving Shen Qubing and the Dust of Flowing Water to her.
Tang Xiaotang showed no interest in seeing it before Xu Yuanzhen; instead, she was intrigued by Lei Jun and others helping Shen Qubing in the Celestial Book Universe.
"That Shuiyao is very familiar with Jiuli." She laughed: "That YueYao sounds like it’s from the Confucian Sect."
Age Star Muyao corresponds to White Lotus Sect’s Future Maitreya.
Mars Fire Radiance corresponds to Shen Qubing.
Saturn Earth Radiance corresponds to Fang Yue.
These can all be confirmed.
Riyao can also basically be confirmed as the current Empress Zhang Wantong.
Adding Lei Jun as the Taibai Metal Scepter, five identities among the Universe Seven Luminaries of Celestial Book can be basically confirmed.
Tang Xiaotang is quite interested in the real identities of Taiyin Yueyao and Mercury Water Luminary.
Lei Jun: "In such matters, let it be; as long as the other party bears no ill will, I have no intention to delve into it."
Tang Xiaotang clicked her tongue: "The current majesty has a good eye. White Lotus Sect monks, Qilin offspring from the Jingxiang Fang Clan, plus you and Shen Qubing, all are talented."
Not to mention others, but I saw that Shen Qubing in the Earth Sea this time; Supreme Thunder Immortal Body is indeed exceptional, and although his comprehension isn’t clear, he seems extraordinary."
Lei Jun: "As a martial artist, his comprehension won’t be inferior; though it may not compare to our Taoists’ Serene Insight, at least it’s Clear Insight."
In real combat, Shen Qubing often surprises with his strength beyond what many anticipate.
Martial artists excel in teleportation speed and the speed of attacking and switching moves, even at a general level.
And Shen Qubing, with the Supreme Thunder Immortal Body, has an advantageous edge, further enhancing his strengths.
Lei Jun, draped in various methods, far exceeds average Talisman Sect cultivators in speed.
Those who have witnessed him in action praise his speed comparable to a martial arts expert.
But at the same realm, he acknowledges falling short of Shen Qubing.
The opponent is the fastest one he has encountered in the same realm, bar none.
Encountering different Upper Seven Heavens cultivators in the Earth Sea before, any would have been surrounded by Jiuli Grand Shamans.
Yet Shen Qubing could fight on for a long time.
Eventually, it took an Eight Heavenly Layer shaman practicing the Ghost God Sacrificial Dance, leading a group of experts, to surround him at Xiongbo Mountain.
