After completing the world advancement, Jiang Yun left the Quiet Room.
At this time, both Three Xiaos and Zhang Gongming had built their dwellings near the mountain where his Cave Abode was located, and Three Xiaos stayed together as before.
Jiang Yun found the Black Tortoise and told it that he planned to go to the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Dao Field and didn't intend to come back before the Third Lecture, so he would continue to develop the Northern Region Earthly Realm there.
"I plan to go to the main hall to inform my teachers and the others, and then set off for Spirit Bamboo Mountain. Senior Mysterious Turtle, are you planning to continue sleeping in your Cave Abode or come with me?"
Jiang Yun asked the Black Tortoise a question.
"I see your cultivation has improved again; your realm has advanced quite quickly! As long as I'm not going to the open sea, I'm quite willing to go out and wander around. This time when you go to Spirit Bamboo Mountain, do you plan to take some time to investigate Guixu?"
"I've made some progress in my cultivation, thanks to my trip to Penglai last time. My main task this time is to develop the several Spirit Land Node in the Northern Region. I've been away for so long now, I don't know how things are going there. As for the matter of Guixu, I'll probably have to wait until after the Third Lecture. I feel a little uneasy, I'll wait until my cultivation advances further and then I can discuss this matter with my teachers in the main hall and see what they think."
After understanding Jiang Yun's thoughts, the Black Tortoise got it and flew to his shoulder, continuing to be his shoulder-clinging turtle.
Jiang Yun led the Black Tortoise to the main hall.
Upon meeting Zhunti and Jieyin, he explained his purpose.
"Teacher, Uncle-Master, I have been away from the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Dao Field for a long time. Now I am preparing to set off for the Northern Region to see how things are developing there. It is also time to establish a new Spirit Land Node."
"Do you have a plan in mind? It will take a lot of your own people to set up the framework in the early stages!" Jieyin nodded first, and then asked Jiang Yun if he had a proper arrangement in mind.
"I have left training grounds for reserve personnel in Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven and Spirit Bamboo Mountain Dao Field. After so many years, they should have yielded considerable results and be sufficient for the construction of the Northern Region."
Moreover, there will be manpower to help from the Northern Sea Dragon Palace, so I believe that the initial framework construction will not take much effort.
"The Yaoshi, Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, and the newly initiated Gongming and Yunxiao all have decent cultivation levels. I think with some targeted training, they could all become capable of handling things independently. Do you and your senior uncles have any ideas about sending them to the other three directions to carry out the 'Eight-One Plan'?"
Now that his fellow disciples have made some progress in their cultivation, Jiang Yun feels it's time to fully roll out the plan.
After listening to his thoughts, Jieyin and Zhunti did not answer immediately, but instead brought up another matter.
"There's something you probably don't know yet. The Demon Clan of the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens is currently gathering its forces to attack the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky. They want to destroy the Lord of the Stars, the Ziwei Star Lord, and rule all the ancient Stars. With his dual identity as the Sun Star Lord and the Lord of the Demon Clan, Di Jun and the others have already subdued many star lords."
When we used the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation to Jieyin the starlight, the Ziwei Star Lord had already noticed it, but he did not stop us. On the contrary, he instructed the other star lords to help us with all their might.
Now that he's facing imminent disaster, he's sent us a distress message. What are your thoughts on this?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly realized why Stars phantoms appeared when he fully activated the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation. It must have been the work of the Ziwei Star Lord.
"The Ziwei Star Lord must have already realized our intentions from the matter of Jieyin the starlight, and he should have gained a lot of Merit Fortune from it."
The Demon Clan attacked the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky for two reasons: first, to eliminate surrounding threats and cut off the possibility of attacking the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens from other places; and second, to control the entire sky and thus gather more Fortune.
Ziwei Star Lord wants to be saved, and I think we should start from the following points:
First, they should give up their dominance over the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky. As long as they all want to hold onto their power, only one side will survive in the end.
Secondly, we can take this opportunity to discuss the role of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation with the Demon Clan race. This is a great benefit to all three of us. The Demon Court can gain Merit and Fortune, we in the Western Region can rebuild with the power of the Stars, and the Ziwei Star Lord can use this opportunity to bestow favors on the Demon Clan and thus escape.
Now we need to figure out what the Ziwei Star Lord is thinking: is he willing to give up his identity Lord of the Stars?
There is currently no irreconcilable conflict between the Demon Clan and the Stellar God. Judging from the low-key nature of the Ziwei Star Lord, he should be more concerned with his own cultivation. If the opportunity arises, could we try to recruit him into the Western Teachings?
Jiang Yun had a good impression of the Ziwei Star Lord. His low-key cultivation was in line with their Western Region temperament. Moreover, he was a powerful figure with profound Root Foundation. It was really a shame that he was gone!
Zhunti hearing Jiang Yun's suggestion to recruit people into the Western Teachings, Zhunti seemed to awaken some kind of attribute, and his whole being became excited.
He excitedly pulled a few people aside to discuss the feasibility of this matter. He would probably do his best to plan it if there was even the slightest possibility.
At this moment, Jiang Yun's mind was already filled with images. "Zhunti: Fellow Daoist Ziwei, Fellow Daoist, Please Stay. You are destined to join my Western Teachings and share in peace and tranquility. Why bother to wallow in this mortal world!"
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Jiang Yun continued to listen attentively to the discussion between Zhunti and Jieyin.
"As fellow guests of the Purple Sky Palace, everything we do is merely to facilitate our own cultivation. Anything unrelated to cultivation is just external possessions. I wonder if the position of Lord of the Stars is related to Fellow Daoist Ziwei's path of cultivation? If so, this matter may be difficult to handle. Let's first share our thoughts with Fellow Daoist Ziwei. I think Junior Brother, why don't you come with me to the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky?"
Jieyin shared his opinion.
"What you say makes sense, senior brother. We still need to go to the Starry Sky for this matter. It concerns the great prosperity of our Western Region. No matter what, the matter of Jieyin starlight cannot be stopped."
"Teacher, Uncle-Master, do you need Senior Mysterious Turtle and I to accompany you at this time?" Jiang Yun saw that the Two were preparing to go to heaven and wanted to do his part.
"Your uncle and I are enough; you don't need to go this time. Until this matter is properly resolved, you should stay and oversee Mount Sumeru. There's not much point in going Northern Region to build the Spirit Land Node right now. It's not too late to act after everything is settled."
Jieyin arranged for him to stand guard at Mount Sumeru in place of himself and Zhunti, so that if things went wrong, there would be a way to deal with it and prevent their home from being robbed.
"What you say is true, teacher. I will cultivate in the mountains for a while and wait for you and my uncle to return with a full harvest."
"Haha, my nephew is right. Perhaps when we return from this trip, our Western Teachings will have gained another Dharma Protector Elder!"
Afterwards, the two made some preparations, then transformed into a rainbow and set off into the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky.
