Chapter 1235: Chapter 409: Third Layer of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Five Spirits and Five Qi (Long Chapter)

Besides Zhang Jingzhen, Ke Sicheng in the residence also announced entering secluded cultivation.

He finally began formally launching an assault on the Seventh Heavenly Layer, although compared to Liu Xiao and Zhuo Baojie, he was a bit late, but nevertheless took the successful step forward.

Lei Jun, as the Celestial Master, was thoroughly aware of the progression of his peers in the residence.

Among the young disciples, Qin Caiwei and her master Luo Haoran, Xu Rui and Fang Jian, who was primarily overseeing his cultivation before, were currently at the Sixth Heavenly Layer.

As their cultivation deepened, they also began preparing to launch assaults on the Seventh Heavenly Layer.

Xu Rui was initially leading by a step.

However, due to various reasons, he was currently stuck at the peak of the Dao Mark Realm in the Sixth Heavenly Layer, never attempting to take the final step.

Apart from Ke Sicheng who had already entered secluded cultivation, Qin Caiwei was perhaps closer to the Seventh Heavenly Layer.

Previously, Qin Caiwei went to Great Unity and has not returned to the Tang Dynasty mortal world.

But recently, she sent back a secret report mentioning she inadvertently acquired a Talisman Decree, possibly related to the Ancient Talisman Sect, and dared not act rashly, so she sent it to the residence for the Sect Leader’s decision.

Lei Jun weighed that Talisman Decree, lost in thought.

......

Inside Great Unity.

Qin Caiwei stood between the medicine fields, unusually distracted.

"...Will the senior still go to the Han people’s mortal world later?" she spoke seemingly to herself.

A voice sounded, but only Qin Caiwei could hear it: "Not in the near future, but perhaps after some days, I will take another trip to the mortal world."

Qin Caiwei softly said: "Former Heavenly Palace affiliates... it’s unimaginable that such beings exist, back during the Han Dynasty’s Great Tribulation, they triggered it? It’s hard to imagine what kind of vast integrity it would take..."

"Former Heavenly Palace affiliates is a collective term, countless newcomers joined them, otherwise how could it have affected so widely? Of course, in today’s era, those newcomers are now all aged."

Qin Caiwei: "Even you, senior..."

Feeling she misspoke, she quickly shut her mouth.

The voice was unconcerned: "There were defectors among the former Heavenly Palace affiliates, otherwise they might have succeeded."

Qin Caiwei was curious: "What happened to those people later? Hmm... are they still around?"

"It’s too early to say, but with the surge of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy, those who are still alive gradually start to reveal signs, becoming clearer and more distinct soon."

"Hmm..." Qin Caiwei pondered: "Senior, I wonder... I wonder if I can..."

"Do you mean to tell your fellow disciples what you’ve heard?"

Qin Caiwei: "My master, Sect Leader, and other elders of the Sect, fellow disciples, are all good people... but I’m worried it might leak your secret to them."

"By this time, it no longer matters, especially since the contemporary heirs of Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Tang Dynasty mortal world, though young, have considerable tolerance, you can tell them what you deem appropriate, it won’t matter."

Qin Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, senior!"

The disguise of the related Talisman Decree was handled by the other party.

Qin Caiwei did not mention a word about herself, only recorded the things she heard from the other party related to former Heavenly Palace affiliates and the Han Dynasty’s Great Tribulation, then claimed she inadvertently acquired an ancient times Edict Talisman, thus seeking the Sect’s decision.

......

"Refinement Sect’s technique." Lei Jun handed the Talisman Decree to Xu Yuanzhen, who returned from the Han people’s mortal world.

Xu Yuanzhen looked at it with interest and said: "I initially felt something was amiss, and it seems the issue lies here."

Lei Jun: "Above the Ninth Heavenly Layer, existing prior to the Han Dynasty’s Great Tribulation?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "Yes, and it’s likely related to Kunlun."

Lei Jun: "Is there indeed someone backing Dragon Tiger Mountain from above the Ninth Heavenly Layer in the Great Han?"

Xu Yuanzhen raised the Talisman Decree: "Yes, not much difference, but they are entirely different people."

Lei Jun slightly nodded, remaining silent in contemplation, having no specific intent to inquire Qin Caiwei about this matter.

His attention at the moment was primarily focused on the group mentioned in the Talisman Decree, the former Heavenly Palace affiliates.

"The former Heavenly Palace affiliates failed due to defections." Xu Yuanzhen chuckled: "Sounds delightful."

Like Qin Caiwei, she didn’t inquire too much.

"We’ll take one step at a time, Kunlun can wait for now."

Xu Yuanzhen swiftly said: "The ritual instrument I’ve set up is slowly deducing, it will become clear in due course.

Regarding Sumi, I’ll go to Xiaotang’s side, and look for those Sumi monks to verify some things.

Looking back, I misjudged last time outside Guixu, this trip is a good opportunity to take another look."

Lei Jun: "Wait a moment, senior sister, take Baobao along."

Looking at Xu Yuanzhen, he added: "Just take Baobao, I’ll send the Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo, Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat over to Junior Sister, exchange them for the Celestial Master’s Sword and Celestial Master Robe."

The Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo and Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat had been re-refined by Lei Jun.

The remnants of the Primeval Heavens were still somewhat remaining, if time is squeezed tightly, the Celestial Master’s Sword and Celestial Master Robe could also be warmed and refined.

These two treasures, like the Celestial Master Seal, had been honed over the years, with few imperfections left.

But all the more, one must cherish the rare opportunity to advance further atop the pole.

Moreover, with the reunion of the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, Lei Jun had some ideas he wanted to try.

Since his insight elevated to the Serene Insight level, he frequently had moments of brilliant realization, especially now that his insight had reached the natural level.

After warming and refining, the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat’s protective abilities were almost on par with the Celestial Master Robe.

Whereas Tang Xiaotang was currently dealing with Li Yuanheng, instead of directly clashing with Master Tang, constantly shifting through sorcery and witchcraft transformations.
