When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 916 Isolation
"Qingyun, do you think the other states have truly lost their lineage and their traditions have been severed?" Shen Zhimei looked at Zhou Qingyun with concern. "Otherwise, why have we not received a single response until now?"

More than five years have passed since the Bozhou Cauldron was erected. The people of the Earthly Immortal Realm have become accustomed to the illusory cauldron that lies across the sky and no longer regard it as a wonder. They have simply added the visualization of the illusory cauldron to their daily routine of cultivation to resolve their doubts.

One of the fundamental purposes of casting the tripod in the Immortal Qin Dynasty was to spread wisdom, enlighten minds, and impart knowledge and skills.

Although everyone's gains are different, according to incomplete statistics from a high-level post on [Ling Shu Fa Jie], the average cultivation speed of the entire Earth Immortal Realm has increased by at least 40%.

Such a terrifying enhancement effect is difficult to compare with even the secret realms and blessed lands of top sects that have the ability to improve mental clarity and wisdom.

This makes one wonder what it would be like if all nine cauldrons were gathered together, given that even a single cauldron could have such a powerful blessing.

Even a glimpse through a tube reveals just how prosperous and flourishing the cultivation of immortality must have been during the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, all of this, including the memories of those who experienced it firsthand, has been buried in the unknown.

However, the appearance of the [Dust Tribulation Floating World] has given most cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm a rudimentary understanding of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. Some have even speculated in the Dharma Realm that the giant cauldron in the sky is one of the legendary Nine Cauldrons of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

Compared to the cultivators of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Mo Palace disciples who resided there knew more about the inside story, at least knowing that this giant cauldron was closely related to their future fate.

But as the days went by and she waited in vain, Shen Zhimei grew increasingly uncertain.

Zhou Qingyun put down the armor she was modifying and comforted her, "You're just worried. Five years is not even enough time for one seclusion. The Void Abyss is so vast that this news may not have reached the other realms yet. Besides, this is a matter that your son and our sect leader discussed together. How could it not be accomplished?"

Shen Zhimei nodded slightly and sighed, "This concerns the lives of billions of people in our realm. Who can remain indifferent? It is precisely because the Bozhou Cauldron has remained unchanged for so long that this group of disciples who came to the Earthly Immortal Realm have already begun to have different intentions."

"Some want to return to the Ink Palace to be with their families, while others just want to stay in the Earthly Immortal Realm and no longer be bound by constraints. As the senior sister, I have to listen to their complaints every day and also comfort them. My head is about to burst."

In fact, if we disregard the Great World of Tai'a and only take people across realms, it would only take a little more time for a great cultivator like Ju Zi.

But if they weren't at their wits' end, who would willingly abandon their home and become a homeless dog?

Not to mention that as one of the eight prefectures of the Immortal Qin, the Tai'a Great World is one of the most precious treasures in all the heavens and myriad realms, how could it be easily abandoned?

However, Shen Zhimei's concerns were not without merit. Even the Grand Prince did not have complete confidence in guaranteeing that the inheritance of the other families would remain unchanged.

After all, the Immortal Qin Dynasty has been destroyed for far too long!

In the endless years when the world is worn down and decayed, the Ink Palace has also experienced several storms and setbacks, and the danger of its succession has not been guaranteed. It is possible that the situation of the other palaces is even worse.

The reason why the cultivators were willing to participate was simply because the name "Immortal Qin" gave them too much confidence. They felt that since the Nine Cauldrons and Eight Mansions were a method left behind by Immortal Qin, it couldn't possibly have failed so easily.

The development of Xianqin is not a matter for the Three Immortal Islands or the sect alone, but is led by the Tian Shu Academy, with the participation of various sects.

This is partly why Tang Yuan was able to cleanse the aristocratic families so smoothly. If they were to suffer such pain and loss, they would naturally have to be compensated.

Therefore, all sects have their primordial spirits and true immortals traversing the void to observe whether there are any unusual movements in other realms after the Bozhou Cauldron has been ignited.

The result was not very optimistic. Bo Zhou Ding's flame of civilization failed to penetrate the void. Apart from a few small realms attached to the Earth Immortal Realm, the realms that were a little further away did not change, not to mention the other seven prefectures that were located in unknown places.

“There has been no unusual activity in the thirteen realms of the Southern Region.” Fan Xiang lay casually on the cloud chair. “In my opinion, it seems that there is an invisible barrier that directly cuts off the Bozhou Cauldron…” He pondered for a moment before finding a fitting description: “All the messages being transmitted outward.”

Li You reached out and tapped lightly, and thirteen more places on the cloud screen in front of him darkened. At a glance, the darkness merged into a circle, surrounding the Earthly Immortal Realm in the middle.

"It's not just light and sound, but a complete isolation from the Bozhou Cauldron?" Li You frowned in thought. "Is it because of the membrane of the Earth Immortal Realm, that it's intentionally blocking the information emitted by the Bozhou Cauldron?"

"I've never heard of the World Membrane having this function besides blocking the invasion of the Nine Netherworlds and Heavenly Demons," Fan Xiang said meaningfully. "This is a divine object that established the Earthly Immortal Realm, so why would our realm target it?"

"It's simply because of external support. Although the Immortal Qin is the common enemy of all the heavens and myriad realms, there aren't many who have the ability to set up such methods in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Li Youdao: "You mean the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court?"

Although the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court governs all realms and is the ruler of all heavens, it was ultimately established with the support of the Taoist sect, and the direct descendants of the three religions can be treated equally.

Moreover, it has the deepest relationship with the Yuqing lineage. As for the Taiqing and Shangqing lineages, especially the relationship between the Shangqing lineage and the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court, they are not exactly like fire and water, and there are no taboos in their speech.

“But ever since the separation of heaven and earth, no trace of the Heavenly Court has descended to earth, and now all communication has been cut off.” Li You nodded in thought. “Logically speaking, our realm has experienced many changes, and their methods should have been completely eliminated by now.”

"Even so, can the Heavenly Court still transcend time and block the remnants of the Immortal Qin?"

Since the separation of heaven and earth, the influence of the Heavenly Court on the Earthly Immortal Realm has gradually decreased. Especially after the great demonic calamities that led to several changes in the celestial dynasties, it was almost completely wiped out by the tacit cooperation of various forces.

As the main base of rebellion against Heaven, the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm have always had an irreconcilable conflict.

Among the three religions, the Demonic Sect is undoubtedly its enemy. Although Buddhism considers itself to be detached from the world and uninvolved in cause and effect, it spares no effort in weakening the influence of the Heavenly Court.

Even the relationship between the Taoist sect and the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court has always been ambiguous.

Even though the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court was established with the support of the Taoist sect, subsequent events, such as the abolition and establishment of the Great Void World, all indicate that the relationship between the two has long since changed.

"Although the heavens and the mortals are separated, the lineage of the Jade Emperor in the Immortal Realm has never been broken," Li You said, tapping the edge of the table lightly.

"Jade Emperor Mountain?"

"This lineage usually remains hidden in the shadows, never revealing its power. Although we know that its foundation and strength are extraordinary, it has never come into our sight. If it weren't for the previous incident, no one would know that Jade Emperor Mountain actually hides a primordial spiritual treasure that can awaken before the final calamity."

The three religions, especially the Taoist lineage, have never lacked innate spiritual treasures, but in this era, not a single one has awakened.

If it weren't for the Golden Dragon Scissors, the three religions wouldn't even have had an existence comparable to the Heavenly Mirror. At this critical juncture when the final calamity is approaching, who knows what kind of chain reaction it would have triggered.

This is one of the reasons why many Taoist sects, including the Shangqing lineage, believe that the Three Immortal Islands are the key to the final tribulation of Taoism.

Innate spiritual treasures, to some extent, can already represent the will of those great supernatural beings who make the moves in the game.

"Given the Heavenly Court's level of apprehension towards the Immortal Qin, the most important task for the Jade Emperor Mountain lineage is probably to monitor whether the Immortal Qin Dynasty will rise from the ashes in the Earthly Immortal Realm."
