Chapter 1127: Chapter 386: Celestial Master Lei Battles State Preceptor Tang (Ten-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter) (Part 2)

Only the Scholarly Cultivators hold the dominant position among them.

Many royal descendants study literature, also following the path of Neo-Confucianism.

"Previously, I heard Shang Nan from the Taoist Nation of the Ming Realm mention to Master Zongcuo of the Jiamu Department of the Vajra Division that there is also a Sumi Department in the Ming Realm."

Lei Jun recalled something: "I remember it’s the Jiamu Department, one of the five Vajra Sects of Sumi, also known as the Karma Department."

Wang Guiyuan nodded: "Elder Sister mentioned that the Sumi Jiamu Department has indeed established a foothold in the Ming Realm.

However, they are deeply feared by the Scholarly Cultivators and have not been able to achieve significant development within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Hence, over the past hundred years or so, the Sumi Jiamu Department has turned northward, deepening ties with the northern tribes of that realm, mutually supporting each other, and has now become a major border crisis for the Ming Dynasty."

At the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they overthrew the Qian Dynasty of the aliens.

The aliens retreated from the Central Plains, but over the years, they have thrived and gradually grown strong again, showing tendencies of frequent southward movements.

The Sumi Jiamu Department contacted them, allowing significant development in the Western Regions, grasslands, and snowy plains outside Ming’s territory. They collaborate together, eyeing the Ming Court’s Central Plains.

Last year, the Great Tang experienced the calamity brought by the Sumi Vajra Division introducing the Solitary Eagle Khanate to invade, so Lei Jun and others could not help but feel a bit subtle hearing about the Sumi Jiamu Department from the Ming Realm.

"This time, Yuan Zhen returned from the Ming Realm, mentioning that most of the Southern Wildernes Lands are now part of the Ming Dynasty’s territory."

Yuan Mobai said: "Only by heading further south, closer to the South Sea Shore, can one find cultivators of the Witchcraft Sect, but it is said that the Ming Realm had previously connected with another realm, and they had conflicts, but the Void Gateway is now long sealed."

Lei Jun: "Do you know which realm it is?"

Yuan Mobai: "Yuan Zhen did not know at the time; her staying in the Ming Realm to investigate this matter was one of her interests.

Currently, it’s rumored that those entering the Ming Realm from that realm are mainly Martial Artists, but they are not from the alien Khanate."

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? No wonder Elder Sister is interested; I also find it quite curious."

The majority being Martial Tao cultivators, yet Han people, not aliens.

So it’s most likely not the Great Song Realm, or not the alien Khanate Realm.

Based on the current information, it doesn’t seem like the Great Han Realm either.

For certain, it’s not the Great Tang.

"At least, this Void Gateway in the south of the Ming Realm is currently sealed."

Yuan Mobai said: "In comparison, for the Ming Dynasty, the current threats aside from the internal chaos caused by the Little Ming Court and the Taoist Nation, are mainly one from the north and one from the east. The northern tribes and the Sumi Jiamu Department mutually foster growth and have become a climate, while the east is said to have an oceanic void opening, connecting to another place in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, named Guixu."

Lei Jun silently nodded.

Guixu, one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, along with Earth Sea, Netherworld, Luo Yuan, and Avici, constitute the Ten Earths.

Rumored to be the flow and destination of the transformations of heaven and earth creation.

In those days, it was said to be occupied by a large number of powerful demons, cold and silent, abundant in Spiritual Energy, but also filled with malice.

The intertwining of both turned it into a bottomless abyss, devouring heaven and earth.

Overall, while the Ming Dynasty’s state apparatus is under threat, it appears supportable at present.

Their accumulations are profound, but their strengths and weaknesses are now almost identical to the previous Little Ming Court.

In some respects, it can be regarded as an enlarged, water-filled version of the Little Ming Court.

The relative advantage lies in that the Ming Dynasty stands in the real Mortal World, where the flow of National Fate Dragon Vein Earth Qi differs from the temporal and spatial concerns of the Little Ming Court in Guicang.

But whether the empire can stabilize depends on various factors, and it’s too early to predict.

After chatting for a while, Wang Guiyuan pondered and asked Lei Jun: "Sect Leader, regarding the future direction of our dynasty, does His Majesty have any plans?"

Lei Jun: "For the time being, it doesn’t seem like there’s a tendency to wage war on all fronts, but His Majesty is also focused on Great Unity."

Wang Guiyuan: "That’s understandable, after all, the Youzhou Forest Clan and Jingxiang Fang Clan have already been involved in cause and effect.

The key lies in what comes next.

The Empress gives opportunities to the world, heralding a prosperous age.

With the surge of Global Spiritual Qi, it’s an opportune moment.

If development continues for long, as long as the internal environment meets the needs, it’s fine; if not, perhaps some will start to seek beyond.

By then, changes will be plentiful.

Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan: "Are you worried that if we look outward, once the snowball starts rolling, it will be difficult to stop and potentially lose control?"

Wang Guiyuan sighed lightly: "From my perspective, I still look forward more to the attempt you’re currently making with the fellows from the Mount Shu Sect and Mystery Observatory."

Lei Jun: "For now, everything is fine; if there’s any long-term concern, I’m more focused on another aspect."

Wang Guiyuan: "... Will the different realms, diverging since the Late Han, ever merge again in the future?"

Lei Jun nodded silently.

Beside him, Chu Kun took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"No matter what is done or left undone, you all have done well so far, just continue." Yuan Mobai’s smile remained unchanged.

He looked at Lei Jun and the others: "Our actions should follow heavenly order and human nature, no need to force."

Lei Jun, Wang Guiyuan, and Chu Kun said in unison: "Disciple diligently follows the master’s teachings."

Yuan Mobai smiled and shook his head: "A shared endeavor, for we are all the same?"

"Since you and the senior brother have both returned to the mountain, allow me to leave the mountain for a while and return later with the junior sister."

Lei Jun then rose to take his leave: "Let’s still choose the East Sea as the place."
