Chapter 1194: Chapter 399: Celestial Master Quells the Earth Sea Turmoil (Ten-Thousand-Word Epic)

Later, Lei Jun reached out, his fingers sketching in midair, inscribing a phantom talisman decree.

The talisman decree drifted towards the distance, its brilliance gathered and undispersed, yet it seemed to vanish, along with the talisman decree, as if disappearing into nothingness.

The talisman passed through the void gateway between the Earth Sea and the Great Tang’s Mortal World, traveling through the Southern Wilderness, heading northwest.

It traversed the Great Unity, destined for the world of the Han people.

Ultimately, it was delivered to Xu Yuanzhen’s hands.

Currently, the two were far apart, separated by multiple boundary space barriers. Lei Jun silently observed, waiting to confirm Xu Yuanzhen received the message, before turning his attention back to the present.

He was within the Earth Sea.

His current vision displayed the scene on the other side within Guicang.

Under the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror’s observation, variations began to appear within Guicang’s void realm.

There were signs of reopening the void gateway.

The connected void was precisely once linked with the Great Ming Mortal World.

The Little Ming Court has already perished.

These past years, the Ming Dynasty faced enemies all around, its primordial energy severely depleted.

Yet Guicang, or rather, the Heavenly Principle, was always viewed as the backyard of the Ming Dynasty.

Previously lost for many years due to various reasons.

Now that the Little Ming Court had been eradicated, Guicang should naturally return to the embrace of the Great Ming.

Thus, despite prior turbulent events such as the Guixu demon chaos, although the Ming Dynasty had not fully restored its primordial energy, it swiftly turned its spearhead towards Guicang.

Previously, Gao Shaobao, Gao Ming, was recalled to the court.

Now, a prominent minister from another faction of the Ming Court, Liu Chong, has been appointed to lead an expedition.

"This time, we must trouble Master Mu to take action." Liu Chong said indifferently.

Beside him, several Taoists accompanied the army.

The leading figure said, "Mr. Liu, you overestimate my worth; this humble Taoist came specifically to lend you a helping hand."

The Taoist bore an immortal demeanor, with features like jade, appearing no more than twenty or thirty years old in physical appearance.

Yet his identity and existence were quite unique concerning the Ming Dynasty.

The Taoist, named Mu Chunyang, was the current Temple Master of the Holy Land Zhenwu Temple, a branch of the Alchemical Sect under the Ming Dynasty’s Taoist Sect.

Zhenwu Temple held a special status within the Ming Dynasty, consistently receiving favors since the dynasty’s inception.

Including Mu Chunyang, successive Temple Masters have been conferred the title of "Master."

Mu Chunyang was a Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect at the Fifth Layer, Ninth Heavenly Layer stage, having achieved the Dawn Elemental Body with five Qi towards the primordial. He is hailed as the first in the Taoist Sect of the Great Ming.

Previously, he had been pursuing Han Qingtao, the former Sect Leader of Ming Shushan Sect, who was the Emperor of the Mortal Tao Country.

Recently, after achieving some results, a high-ranking Ming court official took over, and Master Mu turned to come to Guicang, assisting Liu Chong by imperial decree.

Among the disciples of Zhenwu Temple, some were discontented about this.

Mu Chunyang remained composed: "What happened with the Shushan Sect, given the current circumstances, it’s no surprise."

The Elder of Zhenwu Temple said in a low voice, "Sect Leader, they’re not just competing to grab credit; they simultaneously distrust you and our sect..."

Mu Chunyang calmly reiterated: "Naturally, it’s no surprise."

The Mortal Tao Country in the Great Ming not only gave birth to Han Qingtao, the Western White Emperor, but also included the Elder Xue Xingzi from the Ming Shushan Sect and some Shushan sect members recently identified further.

As well as Merchant Nan, a High Merit Elder in Zhenwu Temple, who was notable regardless of cultivation or rank.

Currently, the Ming Shushan Sect was in a precarious position, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Similarly, Zhenwu Temple no longer enjoyed its previous peace.

Towards Mu Chunyang and Zhenwu Temple, the current attitude of Liu Chong, Gao Ming, and other high-ranking Ming court officials was both used and guarded, with constant watchfulness.

There was unrest among Zhenwu Temple members.

Some were discontent, some were striving to excel, while others eyed their peers with suspicion.

Mu Chunyang himself appeared calm and serene, as usual.

With the court’s order, he complied.

Thus, after handing over the traces in pursuit of the Western White Emperor Han Qingtao to the imperial envoy, he came here to join Liu Chong.

The Ming Army intended to reopen the void gateway connecting the Great Ming Mortal World to Guicang.

In the past, they searched for years without success.

Having finally found an opportunity in recent years, they would not relent.

Even though the void gateway within Guicang had once again closed earlier, they had seized many clues.

Thus, after thoroughly dealing with the Little Ming Court, they began to target Guicang anew.

Led by Liu Chong, many Great Ming Scholarly Cultivators began arranging related ritual instruments.

As if ink became solid, then evaporated into black smoke, ascending to the sky, probing into the void.

The black smoke, within the void, reconsolidated into tangible ink.

This ink began to flow and sketch, remaining in the air, forming gates resembling ink paintings.

On the other side, opposing it, the void within Guicang felt a sense of shock.

Currently, within Guicang’s Ninth Heavenly Layer, a Great Scholar Zhang Hui immediately sensed something.

With sharp eyes and precise senses, he quickly determined the position: "Almost the same location as where Guicang previously linked to the Great Ming Mortal World."

Other regions connecting to Guicang, reopening the void gateway could also settle in that position.

But Zhang Hui, contemplating the changes within Guicang’s void realm, could be fairly certain the other side was still the Great Ming Mortal World.

While he sensed this, he endeavored to send a message back to the Great Tang Mortal World, while he himself hastened to the place within the void that was about to open.

However, once Zhang Hui arrived and examined the area, he was no longer anxious.

Later, Meng Shaojie, who had come by upon hearing the news, found Zhang Hui: "Jingtong Brother!"

Zhang Hui: "Qingyan is here, over here."

Meng Shaojie: "You earlier sent a message mentioning the void gateway..."

Zhang Hui: "The void gateway is no longer worrisome."
