Venerable Guijia
But now, Li Zhanying seems to have sensed something different about the Lingxian Sect's actions.
They seem to have something to say about these eyeliners?
Suppressing the turmoil surging within him, Li Zhanying resolved to handle the matter well.
In a short time, many countries and sects surrounding Pusi Kingdom received generous Sound Transmission Talisman from the Li Clan Ancestor via talismanic messages.
After hearing the contents of the Sound Transmission Talisman, although Li Zhanying did not specify in the Sound Transmission Talisman that it was the Lingxian Sect that wanted this item, it did not prevent these sects and royal families from having the same thought as Li Zhanying.
Their first reaction was that someone might be planning to take action against these spies planted in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Then, they naturally connected it to the Lingxian Sect, a sect that had recently been rumored to have a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Among them were many royal families from sects that had participated in the Xiushui City transaction. With them taking the lead in responding, other royal families from sects that had not yet had much contact with the Lingxian Sect also handed over the detailed information they had without any hesitation.
Not only that, they also leveraged their networks to spread to more sects and royal families, obtaining more and more detailed information about their spies in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Messages were quickly relayed to the capital of the Pusi Kingdom by Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivator from various sects and royal families.
Li Zhanying diligently organized these secret messages, quickly and carefully transcribing them one by one into the Jade Slip Lin Xiao had given him.

In a dark room within a city of a certain country in the Mortal Realm, there was a powerful isolation barrier.
"What?! You're saying that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heart Sect, Venerable Zhiyu, has already Nascent Soul Great Perfection the Nascent Soul stage and is preparing to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage?" A young man in a gray robe stood up angrily, questioning his kneeling subordinates below. "Didn't I keep telling you to keep a close eye on him? What about Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four? Are they all dead?!"
The subordinate replied in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency, we lost contact with the 23rd and 24th."
"Out of contact? Aren't there people responsible for contacting them every month? How could they be out of contact? Didn't you know they were out of contact the month before last?!" The young man was even more furious upon hearing his subordinate's answer, roaring, "Did the Heavenly Heart Sect Master only reach the Great Perfection in the last two months?! He just reached the Great Perfection and already started preparing to advance to the Spirit Transformation?! Huh?!"
This young man was the manager Myriad Connections had planted among the Mortal Realm, codenamed Guijia.
His cultivation level is actually not low; he is already in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm and has been managing affairs in the Mortal Realm for almost two hundred years.
Originally, his code name in Myriad Connections Guijia, but after arriving in the Mortal Realm, he made his subordinates address him as Venerable Guijia.
Because during the Myriad Connections, aside from the various spirit lords, there were only official titles, and no one ever addressed him as such.
It wasn't that this Venerable Guijia, as Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, was particularly loyal to Myriad Connections, giving up a promising future in cultivation to come to this remote corner of the Mortal Realm with its sparse Spiritual Qi to serve Myriad Connections the death.
However, his original aptitude was only at the Golden Core stage, and it was only through Myriad Connections's spirit medicine resources and various forms of assistance that he was able to reach his current cultivation level.
In exchange, Myriad Connections naturally wanted him to work for the organization.
Venerable Guijia was a person who was particularly eager for strength. Therefore, he agreed to the conditions that Myriad Connections offered him without hesitation. Later, he was sent to the Mortal Realm without any complaints. He only hoped that he could manage the Mortal Realm without making any mistakes and stay there for three hundred years before he could return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
He had been promised that if he successfully completed the task of overseeing the Mortal Realm, he would be able to reach the Spirit Transformation upon his return.
Unfortunately, with only a little over a hundred years left in his time limit, he was about to be able to leave this barren, godforsaken place of the Mortal Realm when, unexpectedly, the people below caused him such trouble!
You must understand that in Myriad Connections, accurately controlling the cultivation levels of the cultivators here to prevent them from having any hope of reaching the Spirit Transformation stage is a particularly important part of all his missions!
If this point wasn't handled properly, not only would he not be able to return, but it would also be a question of whether he could preserve his cultivation. Therefore, he couldn't help but be furious at this sudden mishap.
The subordinate kneeling below trembled, his body almost touching the ground. His shoulders shook as he weakly explained, "The messages they sent on the 23rd and 24th were all normal; they didn't report any unusual activity from the Heavenly Heart Sect, only saying everything was fine. Until a few days ago, when we contacted the person in charge again, we still hadn't received any news. We quickly infiltrated the Heavenly Heart Sect to investigate, only to find that their residence hadn't been returned to for almost a month..."
"Upon learning of this matter, my subordinates immediately dispatched additional personnel to investigate the situation. We even used our Myriad Connections's detection treasures, but we still couldn't find any trace of the two. However, through various details, we discovered the anomaly of the Heavenly Heart Sect. After using ten of the activation treasures given to us by our superiors, we discovered that Venerable Zhiyu of the Heavenly Heart Sect was about to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage."
The furious Venerable Guijia listened silently to his subordinate's words, his eyes dark as he stared at the ground in the distance, his lips pressed tightly together, remaining silent for a long time.
The subordinates, kneeling on the ground, saw that Venerable Guijia above them had remained silent for a long time. Feeling very uneasy, they slightly raised their heads, wanting to peek at the Venerable's expression to decide whether they should say a few more words in their defense.
Suddenly, Venerable Guijia spoke up, instructing, "Quickly send someone back to headquarters to report this matter. Remember, make sure the message reaches the Spirit Venerables so they can see it in person!" His tone was still furious, but he sounded much calmer than before.
Then he added, "Send all the eleventh to eighteenth rank! Have them get back to me as fast as possible!"
The eleven to eighteen mentioned by Venerable Guijia were eight spies sent to the Mortal Realm fifty years ago. They were all Golden Core cultivators and, among all Myriad Connections's spies here, the most adept at using Spiritual Power Spiritual Power and at the fastest speed.
Although it is generally very difficult for a Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage to successfully break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Venerable Zhiyu of the Heavenly Heart Sect is a person of extremely high talent recognized by the entire Mortal Realm. He is someone that Nascent Soul Cultivator like Venerable Guijia, who have risen to the top purely through various resources, can only envy.
Venerable Guijia knew very well that if such a powerful person were to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm without external interference, the success rate might not be too low.
Although breaking through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm will certainly not be too fast, and the time spent in between could be as short as two or three years or as long as five or ten years, even with the eight of them traveling at their fastest speed, it would still take them at least half a year to cross the Spiritless Land between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
