A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.
A thousand years ago, after Jieyin and Zhunti emerged from Zhunti, they had already informed Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun and set a departure time. At this moment, the two had arrived at Mount Sumeru as agreed and were exchanging their seclusion gains with others in the main hall.
After the Third Lecture, the two of them went into seclusion. Although they had not yet found a suitable Spiritual Treasure to sever their Two Corpses, they had improved their cultivation considerably by drawing on the World Law. Zhenyuanzi's "Sleeve Universe "Qiankun had also undergone a great improvement.
This journey to the Land of Guixu is uncertain; we don't know what we'll encounter or how long it will take. Therefore, Zhenyuanzi left his Good Corpse at Wuzhuang Temple.
When this matter was discussed, Zhunti also decided to leave behind his Evil Corpse, which was transformed from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, to guard Mount Sumeru.
Jiang Yun had already retrieved his Five Elements Spirit Pearls from the Yaoshi. Now, the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus in his possession had become Evil Corpse that Jieyin. Without the protection of the Twelve-grade White Lotus, he felt much less safe and could only rely on the Five Elements Spirit Pearls to form Five Elements Grand Formation for defense.
During the more than ten thousand years he was in seclusion, with the help of the Five Elements Origin Qi in the Five Elements Spirit Pearls, the Yaoshi's cultivation level greatly improved. With a continuous source of Five Elements Origin Qi, he successfully nurtured the Five Qi in the Chest and broke through to the perfect Perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
However, precisely because his cultivation progressed too rapidly, although his cultivation level improved, his Magical Power and mental state were not yet fully commensurate with his cultivation level. He needed to carefully refine his Physical Body, Magical Power, and mental state, and spend some time consolidating his foundation.
The appointed time has arrived, and everyone has gathered atop the Main Peak of Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin, Jieyin in a blue Daoist robe, stood in front of the peak. Behind him, Zhunti the Great Formation- protecting formation to the Yaoshi. Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun stood to the side. Jiang Yun had also arrived at the Main Peak with the Black Tortoise to wait. As usual, the Black Tortoise shrank its size and perched on Jiang Yun's shoulder.
As everyone was exchanging pleasantries, a streak of starlight flashed across the distance, and the figure of the Ziwei Star Lord appeared before them.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, have you settled everything regarding the Star Academy?"
The Ziwei Star Lord nodded.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off for the North Sea," the Jieyin said.
"Let's go through the Star Gate and head directly to the Northern Sea Dragon Palace to find out some of the latest news from the Dragon King of the Northern Sea!" Zhenyuanzi suggested.
"That's exactly right!"
The group passed through the Star Formation at the foot of Mount Sumeru and soon appeared on the Star Gate Formation Platform in the North Sea.
"Let's go! We'll go to the Dragon Palace first and find Ao Shun."
Upon arriving in the North Sea, Hong Yun excitedly invited everyone to head to the Dragon Palace. He was an old acquaintance of the Northern Sea Dragon Palace, and the others followed behind him in the direction of the Dragon Palace.
Meanwhile, as they were exploring the Guixu, the Three Pure Ones in the Kunlun Mountain also ended their seclusion.
During this seclusion, all three successfully severed their Two Corpses and advanced to the Quasi-Saint Middle Stage.
At the same time, the three of them also tried out the World Proving Dao Method proposed by Jiang Yun. With their combined resources, each of them successfully created a large world to verify the Dao method.
The three divided the Immortal Apricot, one of the Ten Great Spirit Root, into three parts, each obtaining a top-grade Spirit Root. They Enter the world their respective Immortal Apricot into the world, and as the world advanced to Lesser Thousand World, they successfully transformed into a Heavenly Crown Root.
From then on, this Immortal Apricot tree became like World Tree within this world, able to grow together with this world. This was an experience they learned from Jiang Yun, and it really was a good method for cultivating Spirit Root.
When the world advanced, the Physical Body of the three were refined by the World Power. The pure World Power flowed through their bodies, which actually improved their Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, which they had not used for a long time. This was a happy thing.
This also made them realize that the World Power is at a higher level than the Chaos Qi, which is very helpful for their Physical Body cultivation. Thinking in this direction, perhaps the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique can be perfected through the World Power, Physical Body can prove the Hunyuan Great Luo. This path is really an unexpected surprise, and they can give it a try!
After emerging from seclusion, the three of them exchanged their findings, summarizing their practical experience with the World Law and how the World Power helped their profound skills. They especially valued the latter, and together they conducted a detailed deduction.
Before the Three Pure Ones Palace on Kunlun Mountain, a golden bridge formed from the Taiji Diagram spans east to west. Laozi lightly sweeps his whisk, and behind him, the Two Corpses of good and evil simultaneously form hand seals. The Yin-Yang Two Energies circulate Perfect World among the three. Above the Primordial One's head, the Pangu Banner flutters in the auspicious Auspicious Cloud. In the newly opened Lesser Thousand World, the branches of the Immortal Apricot tree are lifting the pure energy even higher.
"Eldest brother, second brother, we've been working together on this for quite some time now. It's time to head to the Witch Clan; delay might cause unforeseen problems." The four swords behind Tongtian hummed, and the Evil Corpse slain by the Qingping Sword suddenly materialized. "Those barbarians of the Witch Clan aren't easy to talk to."
When the Demon Clan joined the Hongmen Alliance Covenant, they sensed it during their seclusion and were amazed by Nuwa's efficiency. Now that they had emerged from seclusion, after exchanging their findings, Tongtian couldn't help but urge them on to travel together to the Witch Clan.
Three Paths of Evasion Light flew out from Kunlun Mountain and headed straight towards Buzhou Mountain.
When the group arrived at the Buzhou Mountain, starlight suddenly shone brightly in the sky above, as if some Demon Clan had used the starlight to Jieyin there.
Laozi suddenly pressed down on his two junior brothers, Taiji Diagram unfolded into an array beneath their feet. "Let's conceal ourselves and observe the situation."
In a Mountain Valley not far from the starlight, the Ancestor Witch Dijiang tore open space and emerged, followed by Zhujiuyin and Houtu.
The commotion caused by the Demon Clan's starlight Jieyin was quite significant, and the three Ancestral Witch sensed it and came to take a look.
As the starlight faded, the figures of Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Demon Master Kunpeng appeared before everyone.
"Taiyi, Kunpeng, so it's you two who have come. It seems there's something quite serious going on!" Dijiang's tone turned somber upon seeing the newcomers.
"Dijiang, if it weren't for the importance of this matter, the Two us wouldn't have come here. This isn't the place to talk. I've heard that your Witch Clan's Pangu Hall can isolate the Heavenly Dao. I think that's a more suitable place for us to discuss things." Taiyi spoke very directly, choosing a place to talk right away.
"You have quite the nerve, daring to go directly to our Witch Clan's headquarters. Aren't you afraid that all of us will attack and leave you there!" Zhujiuyin's voice was slightly sinister.
"Although we are opponents, I know the style of your Ancestral Witch. They have never stooped to such behavior, so I am at ease." Taiyi didn't seem to care about the other party's tone.
"Haha~ That's true, let's go!"
The Three Pure Ones, who had concealed their presence, saw this exchange and understood. It seemed that the Demon Clan was impatient with the Three Pure Ones' actions and had taken the initiative to pull the Witch Clan into the alliance.
Faced with the pressure from the Chaos Demon Gods like Hongjun, the Demon Clan race was able to set aside their hatred and decisively choose to ally with the Witch Clan. Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others truly have a broad mind!
Realizing his purpose, Laozi sent a telepathic message to Yuanshi and Tongtian, and the three of them revealed themselves together.
"Please wait, everyone! Allow the three of us to come together!"
