As they were talking, the Star Gate lit up again, Ao Shun several Dragon Clan cultivators out.
Upon seeing Jiang Yun, Ao Shun up. "Daoist Friend Jiang Yun! It's been a long time!"
Jiang Yun stepped forward to greet him, "Ao Shun, what brings you here?"
Ao Shun laughed and said, "Of course, we're talking business."
The bamboo dew from the Fairy Bixiao is very popular in my North Sea, and I have come today specifically to discuss a long-term supply.
He lowered his voice, "By the way, I have some news for you: the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace has completely severed ties with the Immortal Court. That old fellow Ao Guang has finally come to his senses."
Ling Xi interjected, "Dragon King, does that mean our bamboo dew from Spirit Bamboo Valley can now sell well in the East Sea without having to hide it anymore?"
Ao Shun laughed loudly, "Of course! He really wants to get along well with you guys!"
He turned to Jiang Yun, "I've heard that your Western Teachings intends to establish Reincarnation in conjunction with the Ancestral Witch Houtu? If you need the assistance of the Water Tribe at that time..."
Jiang Yun understood. "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will discuss this matter with my teacher."
The Guixu Entrance is located within the territory of the North Sea. The Dragon Clan is naturally the best guardian and barrier for the Guixu Entrance. The participation of the Dragon Clan is a good thing for everyone. However, there are many forces involved, and you may not be able to gain much influence. I hope you understand this, fellow Daoist."
The four chatted for a long time. Ao Shun told Jiang Yun a lot about the current battlefield situation between the Witch-Demon and the Immortal Court, and then they also talked about some topics related to the Heavenly Marriage Ceremony of the Demon Clan Race.
As if listening to a storyteller, Jiang Yun, Ling Xi, the Two Gao Shou listened to the old Dragon King recount many interesting tales. The Dragon Clan truly lived up to its reputation as a once-powerful clan in the Primordial World; their information gathering was incredibly meticulous, and they seemed to know a thing or two about everything.
After Ao Shun finished speaking, he felt that the relationship had been maintained sufficiently, so he took his leave, saying, "I have taken care of the things I came here to do, so I won't stay any longer. Please excuse me."
"If Daoist Friend Jiang Yun has the time, you are welcome to visit my Northern Sea Dragon Palace. I will then give you a proper welcome."
"You're too kind, Dragon King. Please take care!"
After Ao Shun left, Jiang Yun had Ling Xi and Gao Shou accompany him on a tour of Spirit Bamboo Mountain.
The Hall Master of the various halls in the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Office have now dispersed. Some have gone to serve as managers of the next level of Spirit Land, while others have gone to the Mount Sumeru headquarters to cultivate and take up positions. This is what they have earned through their hard work over the years, and of course, it is also because their teacher is Jiang Yun.
However, the successors to the hall Hall Master were all from Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven. In recent years, Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven has developed very well. With Jiang Yun as the cave master, and relying on Spirit Bamboo Mountain and the North Sea, it has no shortage of resources and connections. It has always produced outstanding talents and made great contributions to the development of the Western World.
After inspecting Spirit Bamboo Mountain, Jiang Yun went to Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven and took several Nine-Rank White Lotus from the cave into his Inner World. Afterwards, Jiang Yun inspected some other Spirit Land, including the four major Spirit Land that he later developed, such as Yunmiao Peak and Golden Cloud Valley.
The last one remaining was the Southern Spirit Land of the Western Teachings. When he arrived Southern Spirit Land, he happened to find Kong Xuan instructing Phoenix Clan cultivators on how to set up the "Great Li Fire Array."
Upon seeing Jiang Yun's arrival, Kong Xuan smiled as if reuniting with an old friend. His previously serious face broke into a smile. He gave a few instructions to his subordinate cultivators, then walked up to Jiang Yun, his voice filled with joy, and said, "So it's the new Vice Sect Leader of the Western Teachings. It's been quite a while. Has your cultivation improved greatly? Would you like to spar with me?"
"After tens of thousands of years, you're still as arrogant as ever, hahaha..."
You always pull this stunt every time we meet; you really are a battle maniac.
"Hey, don't slander me out of thin air. I rarely spar with others."
Others of similar cultivation level to mine couldn't withstand more than a few moves from me. Only fighting you can truly satisfy me. I'm very picky about my opponents!
Jiang Yun believed him. Kong Xuan's cultivation path was very smooth. He had excellent talent for cultivation since birth, and with the blessing of the Five Elements he was born with, he had a smooth journey and his combat power was also extremely high.
Since he began cultivating, no being who has surpassed his cultivation level has ever been able to catch up with him; they have only fallen further and further behind. It is precisely because of this experience that he has developed such an unyielding spirit.
"Over the past tens of thousands of years, although I have devoted a lot of energy to working with your Western Teachings to build the Western Region Spirit Land, after things were sorted out, I have also devoted myself to cultivation for many years."
Since we started working together, I have continuously gained a lot of Merit and Fortune, which has made my cultivation progress much faster than before. Now my cultivation has reached the Great Luo Perfection Realm.
I heard you went to the Land of Guixu and got trapped there for a long time. Don't let me surpass you!
Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes, wanting to compete with Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun found his behavior quite amusing; this arrogant guy was always trying to surpass him!
"Oh, you've actually reached the Great Luo Perfection stage!" Jiang Yun feigned surprise. "That's really... Congratulations!"
"Haha... How's your cultivation now?" Kong Xuan was very pleased to see Jiang Yun's surprised expression.
"Me? Compared to you... sigh..." Jiang Yun said, shaking his head and sighing. But then he immediately changed his tone and said, "I'm still a notch above you. I've already entered the Quasi-Saint Realm!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Kong Xuan's originally happy expression freeze, and then turn into disbelief.
"How could your cultivation progress so quickly? No way, I have to fight you and see if you're just spouting nonsense..."
After exchanging a few playful banter with Kong Xuan, they found a suitable spot for a fierce fight before returning to discuss serious matters.
Jiang Yun first asked Kong Xuan about the Demon Court Ceremony.
"The Heavenly Marriage Ceremony of the Demon Court is just around the corner. Your Phoenix Clan should have received an invitation, right? Why didn't you go to see it?"
Kong Xuan said nonchalantly, "Those matters are handled by the elders of the clan. Besides, I'm only interested in cultivation."
Suddenly, he remembered something. "That's right, a few days ago, Fellow Daoist Maitreya and Ksitigarbha said they were going to go into seclusion at the Five Elements Peak of Mount Sumeru. How come they all ended up here at the same time?"
Jiang Yun nodded. "That's right, I had them choose a time for a unified Closed-door Cultivation. Right now, I'm inspecting the various Spirit Land on their behalf!"
As you know, I took the Fire Spirit Pearl right in front of you and your brother Yuyi. Later, I collected Five Elements Spirit Pearls. The primordial spiritual energy inside these Spiritual Treasure is the best resource for cultivating the Five Qi in the Chest.
My trip to Guixu took tens of thousands of years, and they were getting impatient waiting for me. They were hoping to borrow my Spiritual Treasure to cultivate after I returned!
What, do you need to see him?
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that with them gone, a lot of things have fallen on my shoulders, which makes me feel a little uneasy. I just hope they finish their seclusion soon and come back quickly."
"There's one more thing. My mother has heard of your reputation for a long time. She once told me that next time I see you, I should invite you to visit the Immortal Volcano so that I can meet you."
Our relationship has grown increasingly closer with the deepening of our cooperation, and we need to have a frank and open discussion!
