Chapter 1082 - 378: Ninth Heavenly Layer, Great Vehicle High Immortal!

Chapter 1082: Chapter 378: Ninth Heavenly Layer, Great Vehicle High Immortal!

At this moment, the sound of Chu Xiuyuan’s zither also concealed a reverberation.

Under the hidden influence of these reverberations, the Heavenly Principle cultivators finally succeeded in keeping the Great Tang cultivators outside the Void Gateway and successfully closed the Void Gateway between the Great Tang Human Realm and the Heavenly Principle.

Meanwhile, a side effect is that the path of Xu Yuanzhen, currently in the human world of the Great Ming, to return to the Great Tang Human Realm is also temporarily closed.

Just like Ye Yan outside the Penglai of the East Sea, the closure of the Void Gateway on the Heavenly Principle’s side also equates to Chu Xiuyuan adding a layer of double insurance.

In comparison to Ye Yan mimicking the techniques of the Taoist Sect masters of the Mortal Tao Country, Chu Xiuyuan mimicking the Heavenly Principle cultivators of the Confucian Sect was smoother.

At sea, the old man showed a look of fatigue, as if sighing at the inevitability of age, unable to reverse the situation.

However, being able to thwart the Heavenly Principle cultivators also allows the Great Tang cultivators, currently plagued by internal troubles and external threats, to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, they and the Elder Chu cannot afford to relax, as they still need to continue facing the Hexagonal Golden Shark and other native Great Tang Great Demons from the East Sea.

The Elder Chu, despite his advanced age, can only stand tall.

In the battle against the Great Demon, his gaze swept southward.

There, another old fellow like him should be.

Although there are differences between them, which may later lead to armed confrontation, for now, they share a mutual understanding.

.........

Chu Xiuyuan guessed correctly.

The Ye Clan Old Patriarch Ye Moquan, who is from the same era and even similar in age, is currently in the Southern Wilderness.

Originally supposed to be in the Northern Border, he arrived silently.

He himself only visited here many years ago during his youthful academic travels.

But in recent years, Ye Moquan and his Cangzhou Ye Clan have been deeply entwined with the Southern Wilderness.

His granddaughter Ye Lingxi, was killed here, and his daughter Ye Han also faced great hardship and was severely injured here.

His highly trusted clan brother, right-hand man, Ye Morong, along with other Ye Clan descendants like Ye Liang, died in both the Earth Sea and Southern Wilderness Lands.

It was precisely the incident leading to Ye Morong’s death that subsequently caused the Jiuli Great Witch to launch a surprise raid on the Ye Clan Ancestral Land in Cangzhou.

In that battle, Ye Moquan lost his eldest son and grandson, Ye Feishan.

His expectations for this eldest grandson were higher than for his eldest son Ye Wei, yet, unfortunately, he perished at the hands of the Jiuli Great Witch.

But this time coming south, Ye Moquan’s target is not the Jiuli Great Witch.

His time is limited; he cannot indulge willfully.

The most important task at present is to determine the fate of the Great Tang Human Realm going forward.

This will directly decide the overall future of the Cangzhou Ye Clan.

Ye Moquan has long arrived outside the Earth Sea portal of the Southern Wilderness, quietly observing from afar.

In contrast to the Great Tang cultivators and Jiuli civilians who are currently targeting the Earth Sea portal, Ye Moquan’s cultivation is higher, making it difficult for others to perceive him.

He silently analyzes the ritual instrument of the Great Tang Human Realm, feeling a chill in his heart:

Xuanxiao Lei Jun really is a great talent.

Even while severely injured, he can still perform so well.

If it weren’t for the extremely crucial situations in Chang’an and Luoyang, Ye Moquan introspects, he would also be tempted by the rare opportunity before him.

But... Ultimately, it still leaves a bit of dubious thoughts.

Compared to Chang’an and Luoyang, this place is still considered peripheral.

Ye Moquan’s thoughts always come back to the current Great Tang Imperial Dynasty.

Here, for now, remains according to the original plan.

Just the right time to make another confirmation regarding the current Celestial Master... Ye Moquan thought to himself.

Silently and without regret, he makes his move.

With the old man’s covert aid, the Jiuli Great Witch successfully severed the ritual instrument connections between the Human Realm and Earth Sea, sealing the Void Gateway leading from Earth Sea to the Great Tang Human Realm.

On the surface, everything seemed like the work of the Jiuli Great Witch.

Ye Moquan remained calm in thought.

Initially, the Ye Clan Ancestral Land in Cangzhou was stirred by the Jiuli Great Witch.

But for the late-arriving Ye Moquan, the matter was done, and he could only see if he could make amends from other aspects.

He did gain something.

So at this moment, just like Ye Yan mimicking Taoist Sect techniques, and Chu Xiuyuan mimicking Neo-Confucian techniques, Ye Moquan also successfully mimicked Witchcraft Sect techniques.

The Void Gateway must be closed to ensure everything goes smoothly henceforth, reducing obstacles.

But it cannot be done openly by them.

Closing the gateway can only be a temporary measure.

No matter what ideas Ye Moquan, Ye Yan, Chu Xiuyuan have, given the current situation, it is impossible to truly eradicate the lineage of the Celestial Master Mansion.

The injured Lei Jun goes without mention.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang may not necessarily die in the Ming Realm or Earth Sea.

To some extent, even the current Crown Prince and Prince Zhao might not want such a completely disastrous outcome.

In today’s chaotic times, for the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty to maintain itself, it must also strive to avoid substantial loss of Primordial Qi.

Both parties’ current focus is on that dragon throne.

Given this, the current situation must proceed as it is.

Ask Celestial Master Lei, National Master Tang, and Master Xu to vent any grievances they have at the Heavenly Principle, Penglai, Earth Sea, and Luo Yuan...

The Earth Sea portal closed, temporarily blocking Lei Jun, and Tang Xiaotang’s pathway to return to the Great Tang Human Realm.

Ye Moquan didn’t stay long in the Southern Wilderness, immediately heading northward.

.........

On Dragon Tiger Mountain, within the Celestial Master Mansion.

"The Earth Sea portal is closed..." Zhang Ziye received the report, his face changed dramatically.

Yuan Mobai and Shangguan Ning also had grave expressions.

"Are there any reports from the east and north currently?" Yuan Mobai slowly asked.

Zhang Ziye steadied himself: "The Penglai portal and the Heavenly Principle portal are both closed in succession, while the Luo Yuan portal over the North Sea remains unsealed, fortunately, no Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Demons have emerged from it, General Xiao has already returned to land with the Mountain and River Sword and is heading to Chang’an for protection."
