Chapter 1207: Chapter 402: Former Heavenly Palace Affiliates (Double-Length Chapter)

Lei Jun: "Given the current state of the Mortal World, it seems your cultivation is even more challenging."

Zhu Junjie sighed deeply: "To act with firmness yet not align with righteousness, though lofty, brings no benefit; to set aspirations yet not be mindful of the world, though virtuous, is ineffectual. I often question my heart, not daring to casually claim I could save the world. In all matters, I strive for consistency, to be true to myself and without regret."

That is his way.

Others may not be the same.

Lei Jun offered no comment on this.

Zhu Junjie bowed to Lei Jun: "Today, many experts from the Golden Khanate have been slain by Celestial Master Lei and Master Tang, which for us is an unexpected joy, greatly improving our situation. Zhu is deeply grateful."

Numerous experts from the Golden Khanate and the Sumeru Lotus Sect have gone to the Northwest to face off against the Gray Wolf and the Bailu.

Those who remain in the Central Plains are inevitably limited.

If they succeed in eliminating Zhu Junjie, then the Old Song realm can be carefree in the short term.

Yet now Saleheng, Liang Zhuo, and others have fallen, and the dynamics have changed significantly.

Now, the Golden Khanate finds itself rather vulnerable in the Old Song realm.

However, as long as the Golden Khan, the top master of the Mortal World, remains, upheaval won’t easily repeat.

Zhu Junjie neither hopes he can reverse the situation.

Yet if this could disrupt or delay the other side’s advance, that would be one level of success.

Moreover, taking a step back, Zhu Junjie, being the Great Scholar of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, causes significant disruption in peacekeeping fights without enough quality opponents, his destructive power would be terrifying...

"Take care, Layman." Lei Jun returned the courtesy.

Zhu Junjie handed over an empty envelope to Lei Jun: "Should the Celestial Master need manpower assistance while here, just send Zhu a letter.

Hopefully, when peace prevails, there will be a chance to visit another Mortal World, to ascend Dragon Tiger Mountain and pay respects to the Celestial Master."

"Layman, you are too kind." Lei Jun accepted the empty envelope bearing the essence of the Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person Technique, bidding farewell to Zhu Junjie, watching him leave.

The young Great Scholar still harbors injuries, but the forthcoming hiatus is rare; how he chooses is up to him.

Lei Jun first thanked the Celestial Master Seal for its return to the Earth Sea.

Tang Xiaotang is tracing Li Yuanheng despite being unfamiliar with the area, but it should be unproblematic during the ongoing battle among the three major khanates.

Lei Jun will leave the Void Gateway to this Mortal World temporarily unsealed.

However, concerning Li Yuanheng himself, although greatly injured, Lei Jun harbors some doubts about the Earth Sea Jiuli, thus opting to return to the Earth Sea first to verify.

...

One of the Nine Heavens, Penglai.

Though previously in turmoil, after years of recuperation, it has regained its celestial appearance.

A middle-aged Taoist in traditional attire from the Pure Yang Palace sits quietly cross-legged by the Immortal Pond, silently practicing Breathing Skills to Warming and Nurturing his Nascent Soul Yang God.

As a Great Vehicle High Immortal of the fourth realm of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Li Hang’s Nascent Soul Yang God is exceptionally sturdy.

With Pure Soul Qi, he attains Serene Soul, capable of resisting threats of intent.

The inherently resilient physique and Nascent Soul further increase the ability to withstand attacks from Divine Soul Secret Skills.

Only just now, that peculiar Nine-Section Bamboo Staff shimmering with purple and gold hues truly puzzled him.

Even with Li Hang’s skill, he was struck dizzy by its sweep.

He wouldn’t doubt that without the support of Pure Soul Qi and Serene Soul, just that strike alone could have harmed the Nascent Soul Yang God.

Beside Xu Yuanzhen, the Celestial Master Mansion of Dragon Tiger Mountain in Great Tang harbors more than one expert, no wonder Huang Xuanpu would fall there.

Regrettably, he missed the rare chance to seize the Celestial Master Seal; finding an opportunity again may become even harder.

As for the Altar of Wanfa Sect in the Great Tang Mortal World, it goes without saying.

Time waits for no one...Li Hang concluded his rest, opening his eyes to gaze into the distance.

Soon, before him, clear light appeared, automatically outlining into a Talisman Decree.

Upon reading the Talisman Decree, Li Hang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly but soon relaxed, putting away the decree, rising to proceed.

He arrived at a celestial peak.

At the summit, another awaited.

A woman in cloth garments and hemp sandals.

It was the former Sect Leader of the Ming Shushan Sect, now Western White Emperor of the Mortal Tao Country, Han Qingtao.

Without Mu Chunyang, she finally escaped pursuit and returned to Penglai.

Yet her foundation in the Ming Realm has already dwindled.

Li Hang did not intend to mock her predicament.

Not long ago, in the Old Song Mortal World, he sought fortune amidst danger, not without risk.

Although he managed to flee safely, if Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang converse with Zhu Junjie, they might likely connect him, Li Hang, to the Southern Red Emperor of the Mortal Tao Country.

His foundation in the Old Song Mortal World would also face upheaval.

Li Hang was mentally prepared before acting, hence his current composure.

"Daoist Li." Han Qingtao nodded slightly.

Li Hang returned the gesture: "Does Daoist require assistance on your side?"

"Rarely did Daoist Han propose the Alliance of the Five Directions."

Han Qingtao: "Please pardon the disturbance, Daoist Li, as it indeed pertains to significant matters."

Li Hang’s gaze settled on her face.

Han Qingtao: "There are suspicious movements in Bluestone Drop."

Li Hang gradually asked: "Former Heavenly Palace Affiliates?"
