Southern Region desert.
This place is sparsely populated.
Not just because the desert is teeming with deadly Devil Beast!
The Spiritual Qi here is extremely thin!
Cultivators fighting here are constantly consuming their spiritual Spiritual Qi.
At the same time, it is also unable to absorb Spiritual Qi from the outside world!
This means that it's impossible to engage in prolonged combat here!
Ordinary people cannot deal with the Devil Beast in this place.
Cultivators would find their practice inefficient here!
And at this moment.
The powerful figures from the Southern Region are forming a sealing array here, and they must always conserve their Spiritual Qi reserves!
"Everyone, let's begin."
After Qin Tiannan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Remember to stabilize the formation. If there are any abnormalities, reinforce it immediately."
Reinforcement?
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Immediately, everyone began to unleash their cultivation levels!
The sealing formation has been activated!
A stream of sealing power began to converge within those narrow spatial rifts!
This space is currently extremely unstable!
To get inside, a sealing array must be used to stabilize it!
Only then can we go in and see what's hidden in this space!
on the other hand.
Within the former site of Cloud Phoenix.
Inside a grand hall.
A tall man stood in front of Hong Ying and Yun Ming.
Above the man's head was an illusory soul.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the face of this soul is completely similar to that of the man!
And this soul.
It is slowly merging into the body!
Not long after.
Her soul completely merged into the man's body.
At that moment, the tall man opened his eyes!
Looking at the Hong Ying before him, his eyes shone with wild joy!
He immediately knelt on one knee before Hong Ying and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Hong Ying smiled and nodded. " Yun Zhan, you're still very weak. Get up."
The tall man was none other than Yun Zhan!
He is the head of the Nine Heavens Division of the Cloud Phoenix Empire!
Its combat strength is second only to Hong Ying and the Grand Master.
"Yes!"
Yun Zhan excitedly stood up, looked at Yun Ming behind Hong Ying, and smiled, "It seems the rest of the brothers have also broken free of their seals?"
Yun Ming laughed loudly, "Of course."
"Good!"
Yun Zhan patted Yun Ming on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "We can fight the Heavenly Road together again!"
"That's for sure!"
Hong Ying glanced around and asked, "Where is the Grand Preceptor sealed?"
Upon hearing this...
Yun Zhan's smile faded slightly, and he said with a hint of seriousness, "The Grand Master did not suffer from the seal imposed by those people from beyond the realm; instead, he chose to seal himself."
"Um?"
Hong Ying was slightly taken aback.
She knew all about the sealed locations of the Nine Heavens Division.
However, Hong Ying knew nothing about the Grand Preceptor.
Yun Zhan explained, "After we were sealed, the Grand Preceptor sealed himself away in the Grand Preceptor Palace, and at the same time, he transformed the Grand Preceptor Palace into a secret realm!"
"According to the Grand Master's plan, this world will inevitably undergo tremendous changes after we are sealed!"
"We previously mobilized the entire continent's resources but still failed to conquer it. It will likely be very difficult for us, the Nine Heavens Division, and His Majesty alone, to conquer the Heavenly Road again..."
Hong Ying nodded.
The Grand Master.
He served as a strategist in the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Offer advice and strategies to Hong Ying!
No Detail Left Unaccounted For!
The considerations were extremely meticulous.
Yun Zhan continued, "Therefore, the Grand Preceptor sealed himself in the Grand Preceptor Palace, created a secret realm, and established countless inheritances!"
"I just want to see if, many years later, anyone will be able to enter the secret realm and obtain those inheritances."
Hong Ying understood.
The Grand Master's actions were not merely aimed at preserving High Antiquity traditions to the greatest extent possible!
They also wanted to see if there was anyone in this world who could be of high caliber after they were fully revealed to the world!
Gather the strength needed for another conquest of the Heavenly Road!
Where is that secret realm?
Yun Zhan thought for a moment, then said, "In the Southern Region."
"Judging from the timing, that secret realm should be about to emerge."
On the other side.
Western Region.
Unlike the other four regions, this place is not characterized by a complex web of intertwined power dynamics.
Here, there is only one dominant force!
That is Buddhist Sect.
In the Western Region, Buddhist Sect is the absolute dominant force!
At the same time, it is also extremely mysterious.
At that moment, a man carrying a basket of books arrived in the Buddha City.
The Buddha City is the place where Buddhist Sect is located!
Within the Buddha City.
There is a restaurant.
Not everyone in the Buddha City is a Buddhist Dao practitioner.
There were also other practitioners among them.
A scholar carrying a basket of books walked into the restaurant.
I found a place to sit down.
Around him, a small group of people were talking.
"I've heard that Buddhist Sect disciple has been born!"
"I've also heard that this Buddhist child seems to be the reincarnation of a great Buddha, radiating Buddha's light from birth!"
"Nowadays, this Buddhist disciple's Buddhist Dao cultivation is extremely profound; it is said that he is already comparable to some of the great Buddhas in the Buddhist Sect."
"And this Buddhist disciple seems to be experiencing trials in the mortal world, carrying on the Buddhist Dao."
I heard this.
The scholar stood up and went to the side of the crowd.
Does the Buddhist Sect tradition of passing down Buddhist Dao include eliminating dissidents?
Hearing the scholar's words...
Their expressions changed drastically!
You need to know.
In the Western Region, and even in this Buddha City, speaking ill of the Buddhist Sect is a grave taboo!
What makes this young gentleman say?
"Be careful what you say!"
The scholar remained unmoved and continued, "Shouldn't Buddhist Dao and Daoists be magnanimous and forgiving, unable to tolerate even the slightest criticism?"
In the crowd.
There was a man in brocade robes; he was the eldest son of a Lineage in this Buddha City.
Ning Lineage Buddha City!
They are one of the strongest Lineage in the Buddha City, besides the Buddhist Sect.
Ning Ming then reminded him, "Young master, it's one thing to say such things in front of us, but you can't say them in front of those Buddhist cultivators."
The scholar's expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "What I have seen and heard, what I have witnessed with my own eyes, is that Buddhist cultivators, because mortals do not believe in Buddhist Dao, simply watched helplessly as Devil Beast beasts tore the entire village to pieces, without doing anything to help."
"And why can't it be said?"
"Could it be that all Buddhist Sect are like this?"
Ning Ming and the others all had solemn expressions.
This sentence.
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit!
If Buddhist Sect monks heard these words, they would probably take the scholar back to their Buddhist Sect!
More bad than good!
Because in the Western Region, in this Buddha City, Buddhist Sect is heaven!
Furthermore, there are countless believers in Buddhist Dao who regard Buddhist Sect as sacred sites!
Ning Ming said again, "Young master, it's best not to discuss Buddhist Sect here."
The scholar wouldn't listen and wanted to say more.
But someone walked over from the side.
"What are your intentions! To slander Buddhist Sect like this!"
Ning Ming and the others all retreated.
Clearly, he didn't want to be associated with scholars.
Ning Chenxin looked at these people and said calmly, "I have wandered the world, and I originally held expectations for the Buddhist Sect and Buddhist Dao practitioners, but I have watched this scene unfold before my eyes."
"What our eyes have seen is not slander."
"What did you see with your own eyes? How could there be such a scoundrel among the Buddhist Sect community?"
Ning Chenxin nodded and said, "Indeed, we cannot generalize from a single instance. Therefore, I also intend to visit the Buddhist Sect to take a look and ask some questions to resolve my doubts."
