Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Inside the hall, after hearing the judgment of the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng, all the combined cultivators frowned slightly.

At this time, Qianjizi, who was relatively senior, coughed lightly and said:

"If it's really like what Senior Weng said, it's a bit tricky. Once we extend the scope of suspicious people to half a year ago, it will be impossible to investigate. After all, many foreigners came to the four-race auction we held before. If this causes panic among other foreigners, it will probably cause more trouble."

"Yes, if this person leaves Yuncheng as soon as he succeeds, we can only adjust the earlier restrictions as soon as possible. If the other party is still lurking in the city, we will naturally never let him leave."

An old woman in a gray robe echoed.

"We have already mobilized a large number of troops to conduct a thorough search for several days. If we continue to search for more than ten days, or even one or two months, there will be no problem. But if the spy is determined to hide in the city for several years or even more than ten years, it seems impossible for us to keep the martial law like this forever."

An old man with a several-foot-long black beard also spoke at this time.

"Oh, now that Fellow Daoist Ning has said that, do you have any good ideas?"

When the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng heard the old man speak, his eyes flashed and he asked back a question.

"I don't have any good ideas, but don't we have Fairy Cai here? With Fellow Daoist Cai's intelligence, it should be easy for her to solve this problem."

The old man with black beard waved his hands repeatedly, but suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Cai Liuping who had been sitting quietly on the side.

When Cai Liuping heard the words of the black-bearded old man, her beautiful eyes turned, and she smiled and replied:
"Brother Ning, you are joking. With Senior Weng and Madam Sha here, there is no room for me to show off my cleverness. I just need to do my best to follow your instructions!"

"Fellow Daoist Cai, now is not the time to be modest. I want to hear the opinion of you, the elder of the Crystal Clan."

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng, however, straightened his expression and gave instructions directly to Cai Liupeng.

"Since the senior really asked me to tell you something, I will not overestimate my own abilities for once."

Cai Liupeng frowned, but then stood up as usual and bowed slightly to Dacheng Weng and the old woman.

"Well, Fairy Cai, just speak up."

"Yes, I think Fellow Daoist Cai will not let me down."

……

When Cai Liuping said this, most of the people present praised him with a smile on their faces.

Obviously, although Cai Liuping's cultivation level is not as high as the many third-level monks of the Holy Clan present here, his reputation seems to be quite high.

The old woman, whose eyes were almost half closed, raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Cai Liuping deeply.

As for the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng, he looked at Cai Liuping with a hint of anticipation.

"According to my opinion, since neither tight nor loose is appropriate, it is better to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside to lure the snake out of its hole."

Cai Liuping glanced at everyone in the hall and expressed his opinion.

"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside?"

Upon hearing this, the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng looked thoughtful.

Cai Liupeng then explained his idea in detail. It was nothing more than concentrating manpower to conduct a large-scale search for a month. If the spy was caught, it would naturally be a good thing.

If there is still no gain, we might as well reduce the manpower little by little and pretend to relax the matter. In fact, the number of people guarding the four gates of Yuncheng will increase instead of decrease without leaving any trace, just waiting for the opportunity.

In addition, another group of elite personnel will be specially organized to continue secretly investigating all suspicious people who want to leave Yuncheng in the near future.

Since the other party has obtained the diagram of Yuncheng's forbidden formation, he must be anxious to send it out. When the wind outside relaxes, he will always reveal some clues. Then maybe we can find this person.

"This method is still somewhat conventional. When the four gates are opened, if that person is really amazing in the way of illusion and has a way to hide from our detection, and takes the opportunity to slip away from the main gate, what should we do then?"

After listening to this, Mahayana monk surnamed Weng was silent for a while and then shook his head.

"Haha, Senior Weng. I have only told you half of my solution. The other half is left unsaid. You may as well continue to listen."

Cai Liupeng smiled sweetly.

Then the woman's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out of her mouth, and she actually transmitted the message directly to the Mahayana monk named Weng.

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng was a little surprised at first, but after listening to a few words, he uttered "Excuse me" and showed a hint of surprise on his face, and finally he even showed a look of surprise.

It took nearly a cup of tea for Cai Liupeng to finish transmitting the message.

"Sure?"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng took a deep breath, asked Cai Liupeng a question, then turned his eyes and looked in the direction of Qianjizi.

"How dare the junior joke about this matter."

Cai Liupeng preached with a solemn expression.

Seeing Cai Liuping and the Dacheng surnamed Weng looking mysterious, the other old monsters present looked at each other with different expressions, but they were very tactful and no one asked the meaning of the message.

"Well, since Fellow Daoist Cai said so, how can I not believe it? Madam Sha, I think you also heard Fellow Daoist Cai's voice transmission just now. What do you think?"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng turned around and asked an old woman who seemed to be half asleep beside him in a very polite manner.

"I don't have any objection. I am too lazy to think about anything when I go out on this trip. I am only responsible for helping these little guys when we encounter strong enemies. I will not take care of other things, and I don't have the energy to do so."

The old woman surnamed Sha chuckled, then stood up shakily and said weakly, "Well, since you have almost dealt with it, I will go downstairs to rest. Fellow Daoist Weng, you can make your own decisions about the next matter."

Hearing the old woman's words, the Mahayana surnamed Weng smiled bitterly. But before he could say anything to the old woman, she had already walked towards the side door of the main hall, and seemed to have really left the Mahayana surnamed Weng alone.

When the other saints saw this, they naturally looked strange.

Speaking of which, the origin of this old woman is extremely mysterious. Although everyone knows that there is such a Mahayana person among their thirteen clans, no one knows what clan the old woman came from or what kind of supernatural powers she cultivated to be able to advance to the Mahayana realm.

Moreover, according to some rumors, this old woman is the longest-lived among the existing Mahayana beings in their thirteen clans. It is said that her lifespan is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At the very least, as soon as these holy monks present here made some progress in their cultivation, they knew about the existence of this old lady Sha.

Therefore, although this old woman looked so old that she seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind, even the Mahayana being surnamed Weng always treated her as a junior when facing her.

Naturally, the other holy beings in Yuncheng did not dare to neglect them at all.

However, after the young man watched the old woman finally disappear through the side door, he could only sigh helplessly and retract his gaze.

"Since Madam Sha has left, there is nothing to discuss about this matter anymore. Let's do as Fellow Daoist Cai suggests. Fellow Daoist Cai, Fellow Daoist Bai, this matter will be left to you two to handle. Everyone else must fully cooperate."

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng thought for a moment and then gave the order decisively.

Naturally, everyone in the hall had no objection and said yes.

"Okay, let's discuss the Guanghan Realm's affairs. Qianjizi, you tell us something!"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the person by name.

When the others heard the words Guanghan Realm, their expressions changed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, what do you mean by this? Is the Guanghan Realm about to open?" Some impatient people couldn't help but ask directly.

"The Guanghan Instrument placed in the Spiritual Hall by our Wan Gu Clan responded two days ago. According to previous predictions, the Guanghan Realm will be opened in three to four years at most, or a few months at least."

Qianjizi said calmly.

“So fast!”

"Now is not the right time to open it."...

In a blink of an eye, everyone in the hall was in a commotion.

"Not long after the Guanghan Order appeared in the world, the Guanghan Instrument showed a sign. This time is a little different from the previous ones. It is a sign of the opening of the Guanghan Realm. However, now that the Jiaochi tribe has invaded our Tianyun, we can't focus all our attention on this."

Qianjizi said sternly, "But the opening of Guanghan Realm is a good opportunity for all the races in our Leiming Continent to increase their strength, so we naturally cannot neglect it. Therefore, how to prepare for this matter requires all Taoist friends and Senior Weng to come up with a plan together."

"Fellow Daoist Qian is right. The attack of the Jiao Chi tribe has already consumed most of our energy in Yuncheng. But fortunately, this is not the first time we have experienced the opening of the Guanghan Realm. Even if it opens earlier this time, there is no need to panic."

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng nodded and said.

"Yes, the opening of Guanghan Realm mainly depends on the potential and luck of the younger generations. All we can do is to confirm the list of candidates as soon as possible and arrange the formation for entering this realm."

A big man who was as black as charcoal grinned and agreed:
"We, the thirteen clans, didn't get too many Guanghan Orders this time. We only have two in Yuncheng. So, we only need to prepare two magic arrays. The rest of the Guanghan Orders will naturally be taken care of by people from other places, so we don't need to worry about anything."

"indeed so!"

"But there are many ninth-rank descendants of our upper clan in Yuncheng, so this list may be difficult to determine."

"We must be careful to prevent the spies of the Jiaochi tribe from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. We must increase the vigilance of these two teleportation arrays."

……

Some of the people present had happy expressions on their faces, while others had frowned and glanced at Cai Liupeng from time to time.

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng listened to the conversations of these saintly beings, smiled slightly, and said:
"In this case, the Guanghan Realm will still prepare according to previous practices this time. The specific list of juniors who will enter will be arranged by each of you when you return."

"In addition, the number of personnel guarding the teleportation array must be increased by three times, and the area within a ten-mile radius of the array must be designated as a restricted area. Strangers are prohibited from approaching this area at will. Only the Wan Gu Clan can set up the array, so all of this will be left to fellow Daoist Qian and the other two to take care of."

"Senior Weng is right."

Qianjizi and the other two elders sitting next to him naturally bowed and agreed to the order.

"By the way, you have chosen the person who will inspire Guanghan Order."

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng suddenly remembered something and asked.

"The candidate for one of them has been decided, and the other one is related to Fellow Daoist Cai, so let Fellow Daoist Cai tell us about it."

Qianjizi replied.

"Hmm? Is there any other problem?"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng looked at Cai Liuping with a little confusion on his face.

"Is such that……"

Cai Liuping bowed slightly and then explained in a few words the matters related to the Guanghan Order in Lu Tiandu's hand.

When they heard Cai Liuping mention Lu Tiandu, a third-rank monk of the Saint Clan who had become famous in Yuncheng in recent years, the eyes of several Tianyun elders flickered.

Some of them even had gloomy eyes and were filled with fear in their hearts.

"I see. So Yuncheng only got one Guanghan Order this time?"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng glanced at the elders of various tribes in the hall and frowned slightly.

Seeing this scene, these combined monks became embarrassed and kept silent.

“Since Fellow Daoist Cai is sure that he can activate the Guanghan Order on time, let’s still prepare two magic arrays!”

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng said this and looked at Cai Liupeng again, "Has this Daoist friend Lu not returned yet?"

"Tiandu left a message that it would take at least three months to return, and at most a month to return. Now it has been more than a month, so it should be soon."

Cai Liuping said.

"In that case, when Fellow Daoist Lu comes back, bring him to see me!"

The Mahayana monk surnamed Weng recalled the incident in which the soul lamps of three third-level monks from the Holy Clan in Yuncheng had gone out. He then recalled that someone had hinted that this matter was related to the human cultivator Lu Tiandu, and frowned secretly.

Since he had previously learned about the Mustard Seed Cave and the auction, he had actually thought of the possibility of this happening.

Honestly speaking, Lu Tiandu’s huge wealth was something even a Mahayana cultivator like him was somewhat envious of.

As one of the two great Mahayana monks in Yuncheng today, he would not do anything like killing people and stealing treasures in Yuncheng.

He had contacted Cai Liuping before and wanted to meet Lu Tiandu. In addition to the fact that he needed Lu Tiandu, a human cultivator, to fulfill certain agreements he had made with his good friend Fairy Bingpo, he also wanted to remind Lu Tiandu not to hang around outside.

Of course, other transactions are incidental.

It’s just that Lu Tiandu had been in seclusion since the auction, and then left Yuncheng. Shortly after that, the soul lamps of three third-level monks of the Saint Clan went out. Since those events happened, he has never seen Lu Tiandu in person.

And from all the information about Lu Tiandu, he was definitely a powerful third-level cultivator of the Saint Clan, and he became more and more curious.

After dealing with the two major events of the theft of the forbidden array diagram and the opening of the Guanghan Realm, the Mahayana monk surnamed Weng discussed with the elders the third major event, which was the latest battle situation of the Jiaochi tribe's invasion of Tianyun.

Judging from the recent attack by the Jiaochi tribe on three cities in Tianyun, it is clear that this invasion by the Jiaochi tribe is very different from the previous small-scale attacks...

Just as the high-level monks in Yuncheng were holding an important meeting, the two beams of light that had entered the Demon Gold Mountains quickly left the Demon Gold Mountains.

Although Lu Tiandu and Mingluo had never seen Baohua, Mingluo was relieved after confirming from Baohua's three saint-level subordinates that his good sister Baohua was fine.

As for Baohua, she happened to have left the Demon Gold Mountains several years ago in search of spiritual medicine to restore her cultivation. And the one who served her was the black crocodile that she had trained for the sake of the bloodline of the Demon Dragon clan.

A day later, Lu Tiandu returned to Yuncheng again.

His spiritual awareness was so vast that he discovered in just a moment that the alertness in Yuncheng had changed drastically in just over a month.

"If my guess is correct, the forbidden array diagram of Yuncheng has probably been stolen, and it is impossible to change the forbidden array of Yuncheng in just a few years. This is why Yuncheng was breached by the Jiaochi tribe four or five years later in the original plot!"

This thought flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could release his spiritual sense to cover the entire Yuncheng or use other spiritual secrets to find the traitor in the Jiaochi tribe and help the Tianyun tribe.

But this was not in his interest.

He was still waiting to take away this sky city of incredible value after Yuncheng was conquered.

Moreover, as he was entering the city openly, several hostile spiritual minds were secretly monitoring him.

Lu Tian naturally understood what was going on.

After all, after leaving Yuncheng, among the five late-stage fusion cultivators who were killed in the sting operation, the original bodies of three of them were cultivators from the Tianyun clans.

Although he is not a Yuncheng fusion cultivator, he should have a close connection with these Yuncheng cultivators who are monitoring him.

As for why these cultivators only dared to reveal their hostility secretly and did not dare to step forward to confront him, it was obvious that they were shocked by the way he killed five cultivators in the late stage of fusion.

As soon as Lu Tiandu returned to the cave, Cai Liuping again mentioned that the Mahayana monk named Weng wanted to meet him.

"Now that we are free, you and I will go meet him later!"

The gains from killing seven Mahayana monks and plundering the Zhenhai Palace were his greatest gains since coming to the Thunder Continent. Naturally, he had to digest them now.

Therefore, he does not need to go out next time, and can just wait quietly for Guanghan Realm to open. (End of this chapter)
