Chapter 1065: Chapter 374: New Joy (Double-Length Chapter)

In a direct confrontation, Yuanmie Monk’s strength surpassed Shang Nan’s.

He had once stirred up storms in the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty.

But now he lies dead beneath Canglang Rock, unnoticed and unknown to others in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

Lei Jun doesn’t care what kind of reputation this battle might bring him, nor does he care about the regrets of Yuanmie Monk’s unfulfilled ambitions.

At this moment, his attention is on that black lotus.

The black lotus was restless, with something remaining at its center.

But more striking was the faint flickering of white light, as if trying to pierce through the void.

Through that white light, Lei Jun felt its connection not with Yuanmie, but with someone else.

A different kind of will emanated from it.

It seemed not to belong to this world.

As far as Lei Jun knew, the Great Void Temple’s heritage didn’t involve creating Buddha statues or worshipping them.

Yet within the white light at the center of the black lotus, an illusory Buddha image seemed to appear, ambiguous and faint.

Although he was not familiar with the heritage of the Great Void Temple, with Lei Jun’s current insight and comprehension, a cursory glance revealed the general idea.

This white light indeed did not belong to the Tang Dynasty Human Realm and vaguely established connections with other worlds.

Yuanmie Monk could use the white light to communicate with others, though the interaction was quite difficult.

Recalling what Kang Ming said about the world of the Great Han, Lei Jun guessed that Yuanmie might have also established a connection with the Great Han world.

Over there, while the Great Void Temple wasn’t prominent either, it was far more prosperous than on this side of the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

With Yuanmie’s death, the white light at the center of the black lotus intensified somewhat.

Even across the void realm between the Han and Tang, could there still be such a keen perception... Lei Jun pondered.

The possible hidden dangers mentioned in the moderately good lot seemed to reside here.

Lei Jun pondered while calmly erasing it with the power of the dark side of the Celestial Book.

The mana traces formed by the Great Void Temple’s Taoist heritage were quite difficult to erase.

The mana aura from members of the Great Void Temple resisted stubbornly, even turning to attack the dark side of the Celestial Book in return.

But Lei Jun himself, having advanced in his cultivation over the years, successfully suppressed the aura of the Great Void Temple’s Taoist heritage, sealing the white light.

A cold, low chant of Zen rang in his ears but then faded away, eventually disappearing.

After resolving the situation with Yuanmie and the other monks of the Great Void Temple, Lei Jun took back his Divine Court Superior Vista Profound Yellow Universe.

Only the massive black lotus remained on the spot.

This black lotus was quite unique, not formed by Yuanmie’s mana, nor was it like the White Lotus Sect’s supreme treasure Ninth-grade Lotus Platform.

Previously, a ritual instrument was running on the black lotus.

Lei Jun observed it, noting that it simultaneously established connections with the Tang Dynasty Human Realm and the Earth Sea.

The ritual instrument would assist people of the Jiuli in the Earth Sea in further destabilizing the Tang Dynasty Human Realm’s landscape and geography.

But it might not be solely to help the people of Jiuli.

It’s more likely to take advantage of the situation to tear open the Southern Wilderness’s portal to the Earth Sea, further expanding it.

Or, at the South Sea Shore, tear open more void gateways.

Indeed, for Yuanmie and the Great Void Temple, there was no true ally.

Previously, the famous noble families of the Great Tang were treated this way, and now the people of Jiuli in the Earth Sea were the same.

Under the turmoil of the Earth Sea, the Great Witch of Jiuli, familiar with the situation, could handle it, but for Tang practitioners entering within, enduring the harsh environment and further impacted by this, the situation would certainly not be favorable.

In this regard, this was the reason hinted at in the perfectly neutral lot for why ignoring the situation at Canglang Rock and directly entering the Earth Sea might lead to unexpected disturbances.

With Lei Jun’s current cultivation, it posed no major problem.

But it might affect other Tang practitioners and also Lei Jun’s subsequent actions.

Lei Jun did not completely end the ritual instrument, but instead, with his own mana, condensed a Tai Chi Diagram to seal the ritual instrument.

Then, he left the massive black lotus undisturbed in the sea below Canglang Rock.

He circled the black lotus, examined it for a moment, deep in thought, and gently extended his finger to tap it.

The black lotus, initially in an open posture, immediately closed its petals.

The aura of destruction that shattered everything around it instantly receded.

Under the sea, the black lotus seemingly vanished, resembling the state when initially ambushed before the Reversed Round Mirror Wisdom Array at the East Sea was activated.

After carefully examining again and confirming no one else was around or any other changes, Lei Jun set off, heading towards the void gateway linking the Earth Sea with the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

On the way, he took the spare time to inspect some of Yuanmie Monk’s personal collection.

Due to the unique powerful intent of the Great Void Temple’s heritage, there were fewer Buddhist Sect magic artifacts refined.

Yuanmie’s possessions left behind were not many.

Aside from the massive black lotus left at the bottom of the sea, two items particularly caught Lei Jun’s attention.

One of them seemed to fluctuate between illusion and reality, constantly alternating between the two states, exuding a subtle spiritual energy, appearing to be an innate treasure.

Lei Jun had a stroke of insight, a name emerged in his mind:

[Shattering Void Return Origin Stone]

"Oh?" Lei Jun’s eyes lit up.

He remembered this was precisely the treasure Tang Xiaotang had been searching for.

One of the treasures used to elevate her Pure Yang Immortal Physique to the Tai Chu Dao Body.

After Tang Xiaotang found the Yin Soul, combined with previous accumulations, only this last spiritual object was missing.

Regrettably, she had searched for a long time thereafter but to no avail.

This journey indeed turned out to be a case of the flower planted with care not blooming, while the willow planted unintentionally became shade... Lei Jun nodded repeatedly.

The moderately good lot only indicated a third-grade opportunity, but to Lei Jun, this Shattering Void Return Origin Stone was also a rare heavenly material and earthly treasure.

However, for Tang Xiaotang, it couldn’t be described as just a third-grade opportunity.

"Senior Sister had searched in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm for a long time with not even half a clue, and given her progress with the Heavenly Heart Clarity Talisman, this was unusual."
