Chapter 849: Chapter 330: Eighth Heavenly Layer Three, External Scenery of the Divine Court (10,000-Word Chapter)_2
"Hmm, it’s related to that Innate Dual Essence." Lei Jun confirmed Tang Xiaotang’s observation and judgment: "It’s more than just the Dual Division of Heaven and Earth’s Mysteries."
Tang Xiaotang nodded repeatedly, her eyes brightening: "Wonderful, truly wonderful, let me experience it."
She was not trying to compete with Lei Jun.
If they were both at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, she would really like to try.
Currently, there’s a gap in the great realm, so she refrained for now.
After all, Tang Xiaotang firmly believed Lei Jun couldn’t fail to reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer; there’s still time in the future.
For the time being, she was more focused on observing and pondering over Lei Jun’s Profound Yellow Universe.
Just as Lei Jun had observed and pondered over her Pure Yang Realm and Yuan Mobai’s Celestial Barrier of the Milky Way.
Yuan Mobai, still busy with mansion affairs, left after a few warm words to Lei Jun.
Tang Xiaotang stayed behind to discuss and exchange insights with Lei Jun carefully.
Both were exceptionally perceptive, and through constant exchange and collision of ideas, they each gained significantly.
Having cultivated to the Eighth Heavenly Layer’s third level, in addition to achieving the External Scenery of the Divine Court, Lei Jun’s foundational mana also increased, allowing previous concepts to be further developed.
Inside the Wanfa Ancestral Temple, he constructed a ritual instrument around the talisman decree he had obtained from Fu Dongsen earlier.
As the brilliance flowed, it seemed as though a smaller three-tiered Dharma Altar had been newly added within the Wanfa Ancestral Temple, shaped round at the top, square at the bottom, with an octagonal middle.
At the top of the three-tiered Dharma Altar, wisps of green smoke rose, eventually disappearing into the void.
Tang Xiaotang, with her hands behind her back, circled the altar a few times: "How much longer?"
Lei Jun: "Just finding the Taiyi Primordial Tower won’t take long, but I want to find Huang Xuanpu himself more, so let’s wait and see for now."
The news reached Xu Yuanzhen, who was traveling abroad, and she returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain.
After observing Lei Jun’s ritual instrument, she nodded slightly: "Not bad, let’s wait and see then, and I’ll refine something during this time."
Lei Jun recalled the ancient mirror that once briefly troubled Huang Xuanpu: "To restrain Huang Xuanpu?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "Given his cultivation strength, he would naturally be prepared after suffering a loss once, so I need to prepare some new items."
......
Snow Mountains of Western Sichuan.
Home of the new altar of the Yellow Sky Path.
Since the overseas ancestral altar was broken, the Yellow Sky Sect fell into an unprecedented low.
After years of low-profile recuperation and rest, they barely recovered some primordial Qi.
However, the rapid development of the Celestial Master Mansion in recent years put enormous pressure on the remaining people of the Yellow Sky Path.
Over time, the Celestial Master Mansion continuously squeezed the Yellow Sky Path’s space for recruiting disciples and followers.
Now, it’s challenging to recruit new disciples within the Great Tang, forced to seek development in the Snowy Plateau.
But that area is sparsely populated and home to the Western Region Buddhism.
In such a tight spot, the Yellow Sky Path finds it difficult to progress, with a tense atmosphere prevailing.
Kang Ming walked within the ancestral altar, his mind calm and serene.
He reached the second layer of the ancestral altar.
Inside, two others were already waiting.
One, wearing a nine-colored Taoist robe and looking as young as a teenager, nodded with a smile: "Brother Kang."
The other, dressed in a purple robe and appearing in his thirties or forties, also nodded in greeting: "Brother Kang."
Kang Ming: "Sect Leader, Chen."
The one in the nine-colored Taoist robe, looking youthful, was the current generation’s Sect Leader of the Yellow Sky Path, Yu Shao.
He was the closed-door disciple of the previous elder Zhao Zongjie of the Yellow Sky Sect.
A dozen years ago, after the overseas ancestral altar was broken, the Yellow Sky Path members were in a state of fear.
Zhao Zongjie transformed himself into the new ancestral altar, stabilizing and sustaining the Yellow Sky Path.
Though he passed away, he left behind a rich legacy of prestige, allowing Yu Shao to become the new Sect Leader of the Yellow Sky Path.
At that time, he was merely at the Fifth Heaven Layer cultivation level.
But with the backing of the new altar, Yu Shao successfully gained the support of the remaining Yellow Sky Path members.
As his cultivation progressed to the Sixth Heavenly Layer, he gradually began attracting significant figures within the Yellow Sky Path to the altar.
Kang Ming was also among them.
Due to some special reasons, Kang Ming was highly trusted by Yu Shao.
By contrast, the purple-robed Taoist sitting next to Yu Shao at the moment represented another faction within the current Yellow Sky Path.
His name was Chen Ziyang.
He was the only Upper Three Heavens Cultivator in the current Yellow Sky Path.
Years earlier, when Yu Shao had just entered and not yet established his presence, Kang Ming was competing with Chen Ziyang and Han Wuyou among the young cultivators of the Yellow Sky Path.
In recent years, Chen Ziyang was the first to make a leap forward, attaining the Taoist Talisman Sect’s Seventh Layer Heaven Realm.
He had been the direct disciple of the former Sect Leader Taoist Taiping.
But after the upheaval, Yu Shao later rose to the forefront.
Yu Shao not only had the legacy of Zhao Zongjie’s prestige but also was the one who guided Chen Ziyang to the Yellow Sky Altar to undergo Tribulation Crossing, combining both elements, demonstrating high integrity and virtue, earning the respect of others within the Yellow Sky Path.
Now, as the only Upper Three Heavens Cultivator of the Yellow Sky Path, what Chen Ziyang thinks can only be known to him.
Yu Shao governs the altar, and as long as he remains there, no matter what Chen Ziyang might have in mind, he cannot do anything to him.
On the other hand, both Kang Ming and Han Wuyou clearly show unwavering allegiance to Yu Shao.
Han Wuyou is also currently within the Yellow Sky Altar, and he is diligently cultivating to break through the last hurdle, crossing the Heavenly Moat Tribulation from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven.
If he succeeds, will any changes occur?
No changes will occur; Chen Ziyang will only have fewer opportunities unless the external world dramatically changes... thought Kang Ming.
Because the true determinant of the current fate of the Yellow Sky Path does not lie within the upper echelons of the Yellow Sky Sect present in the altar.
It is the so-called Mortal Tao Country.
Though, the Mortal Tao Country hit a brick wall under Dragon Tiger Mountain.
