Chapter 560 Return to the Spirit World
The average lifespan of the Jiaochi monks is no shorter than that of humans, and may even be longer!
So based on this lifespan, how much will the number of combined cultivators increase after the Jiao Chi tribe takes control of the Guanghan Realm?
I'm afraid tens of thousands of people are not impossible!
This is equivalent to increasing the strength of the Jiaochi tribe several times, or even more than ten times.
With so many combinations, how many Mahayana vehicles will be born?
Even if calculated at a ratio of one hundred to one, it is a very astonishing number.
In this way, it is not a problem for the Jiaochi tribe to dominate an entire continent. They don’t even need any Xuantian treasures, nor do they need to worship any true spirits. With three-digit Mahayana cultivators on display, who dares to compete with them?
If a race can become this powerful, then as long as they don't make any stupid moves in the future, they will be able to devour the entire spiritual world step by step sooner or later.
By then, the spiritual world will probably be renamed the Jiaochi world!
Just like the Crow World, the entire interface is occupied by one ethnic group.
This is the opportunity for the Jiaochi tribe to prosper!
But now, their plans were completely destroyed by Ye Changsheng, and this formation was also discovered by him.
"After all the Guanghan Orders are collected here, I will take them all away, and then destroy this formation, so that it will never be able to collect and issue Guanghan Orders again. In this way..."
"From now on, Leiming Continent will lose Guanghan Realm!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"Well, take all the Guanghan Orders away. If this formation is gone in the future, once a person gets a Guanghan Order, it means that he or she will have control of that Order forever, and it will never be taken away by the Guanghan Realm again!"
"Then, this Guanghan Realm will become my personal property. I can use this realm to cultivate an extremely powerful force!"
"But this matter needs to be done slowly and secretly. I can't distribute Guanghan Orders on a large scale after returning to the human race!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After he thought about it, he soon came up with an idea.
…
Time passed quickly, and a year went by in a flash. When the time was up, the Guanghan Realm expelled all those who had entered.
Ye Changsheng took away hundreds of Guanghan Orders without anyone knowing, left Guanghan Realm as if no one was around, and returned to Yuncheng.
Before leaving, he discovered one thing, that is, when he held the compass formed by the five broken stone slabs, the rules of the Guanghan Realm would not produce any repulsive force on him.
"This compass carries the power of space, and it looks a bit like the Nixing Compass. I wonder if I can use the compass to enter the Guanghan Realm from the outside world. If possible..."
Standing in the magic circle of Yuncheng, all kinds of speculations emerged in Ye Changsheng's mind.
He shook his head. Now was not the time to think about these things because the scene before him was already a mess.
In the distant sky, all kinds of treasures were flying all over the sky, and colorful balls of light burst out from time to time.
Thousands of foreign races were fighting each other using all their magical powers. A small half of them were from the Jiaochi tribe, while the rest were guards from the Tianyun tribe.
At a higher place, two Jiaochi warships that looked like small cities were suspended motionlessly in the sky tens of thousands of feet high. More Jiaochi and Tianyun people were fighting in a group.
The Jiaochi tribe has broken through Yuncheng!
"Is it really the same as in the original book?" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Before entering the Guanghan Realm, he killed the four great guest officials of Yuncheng, and also killed many members of the Jiaochi tribe who were preparing to attack Yuncheng.
As a result, the strength of both sides weakened to a similar degree, so the fate of Cloud City became the same as in the original novel.
It seemed that it was also about to fall after being attacked by the Jiaochi tribe.
Fortunately, the magic circle that Ye Changsheng and others used to enter Guanghan Realm was set up in Bayun Mountain, which is the most core place in Yuncheng and has the strongest guarding force.
So now these two magic arrays have not been affected by the war, but on the streets of Yuncheng in the distance, the magic array that a certain Junior Brother Han, oh no, now it is Junior Nephew Han who entered the Guanghan Realm has been attacked by the cultivators of the Jiaochi tribe.
Ye Changsheng came out late. When he came out, he used his spiritual sense to sweep and found that Han Li was already fighting a desperate battle with those Jiaochi cultivators.
The current Han Li is not like in the original book who directly advanced to the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. His cultivation is still at the initial stage of the Void Refinement Realm, with no change.
With this level of cultivation, Han Li's means of surviving in such a chaotic army are not a problem, but it would be quite difficult for him to escape.
Fortunately, among his team, there was a cultivator who had successfully broken through to the state of fusion and was able to bear most of the pressure.
What’s strange is that neither side of the battle in Yuncheng has a single being above the fusion stage, and the highest-ranking cultivator is only some top-level Void Refinement cultivator.
This made the sudden appearance of the fusion monk extremely conspicuous and attracted most of the firepower.
This person had just broken through to the fusion stage, and seemed to have just barely stabilized his realm. He was still unfamiliar with the power of the fusion stage. Facing the siege of two top-level virtual refining masters, he was extremely embarrassed.
Ye Changsheng took a look and then withdrew his gaze. The two teams in the two magic circles on his side also all returned.
The strength of these two teams of Tianyun cultivators was relatively intact, with a total of seventeen or eighteen people surviving, including two who successfully broke through to the fusion stage.
Including Ye Changsheng, there are three people in fusion here. Ye Changsheng disguised his cultivation as the initial stage of fusion, so as not to be too shocking and cause any twists and turns.
He now just wanted to leave as quickly as possible with the help of the inter-continental teleportation array, but he didn't want to cause any trouble.
With his current strength, even a Mahayana cultivator would not be able to see his true strength if he deliberately concealed himself, let alone a Fusion cultivator of the same level.
Among the other two people who advanced to the fusion stage, one was the Moon Fairy who was the team leader like him at the beginning.
When she saw Ye Changsheng looking over here, the Moon Fairy also looked at him. After sizing him up, this girl apparently sensed his cultivation level in the fusion stage, so she suddenly smiled at him and greeted him.
Ye Changsheng nodded, shifted his gaze calmly, and looked at another person who had advanced to the fusion stage.
This is a white-haired old man. If I remember correctly, he should be the person brought in by his team.
Liu Shuier and Shi Kun, who Ye Changsheng was more familiar with, also returned safely. However, they had obviously failed to break through, and their aura remained at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage.
The two men looked at Ye Changsheng with obvious awe in their eyes, obviously still remembering his amazing performance in the Guanghan Realm.
"What's going on?" A cry of shock and anger came from the mouth of the white-haired old man who had broken through the fusion.
The man took a step forward and looked at the chaotic scene in the distance in disbelief. It had only been a year since he left, so how did the war suddenly spread to Yuncheng, which was still in the rear?
Not only was he so shocked and angry, but all the other cultivators of the Tianyun Clan were unable to calm down. After all, the scene before them was too shocking for them.
Just as these people were looking at the war scene in the distance with shock and anger, a team of more than a hundred soldiers suddenly rushed towards them.
The dark-faced man in the lead actually seemed to recognize them and laughed loudly:
"My fellow Taoists have finally returned from Guanghan Realm. Senior Weng is waiting for your news at the Spiritual Battle Fortress. Please follow me!"
"It turns out to be Senior Bing. How dare we trouble you to wait here?" Fairy Yue and the old man who had advanced to the fusion stage were shocked when they saw the black-faced man, and they both hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
This dark-faced man is actually in the late stage of fusion, no wonder these two people are so respectful.
"Friend Daoist Yue and Friend Daoist Bai have already advanced to the Saint level. From now on, you can just treat me as your equals. There is no need to be so polite." The big man smiled and waved at Fairy Yue and the other one who had already advanced.
Then, this person squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Ye Changsheng, then he cupped his hands and said, "This must be Brother Daoist Ye from the foreign race, right? Congratulations on breaking through to the Saint level!"
"You are too polite, fellow Daoist!" Ye Changsheng said with a bow.
The dark-faced man smiled when he heard this, and without saying much, he waved to everyone and said, "Please follow me, Senior Weng is in the spiritual battle fort ahead!"
Upon hearing the news from Elder Weng, many Tianyun Clan cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. Since this Mahayana-level Tianyun Grand Elder was here, the situation couldn't get any worse.
So, under the leadership of the black-faced man, Ye Changsheng and his party headed towards the depths of Mount Bayun, while the more than a hundred armored soldiers were divided into two teams, guarding them on the left and right.
In the clouds near Mount Yakumo, there were bronze chariots and huge puppets of different colors everywhere. The security here was extremely tight.
Not long after, after everyone climbed over the tall mountains, a castle several miles in size appeared before them.
The castle is surrounded by high walls, on which crouch silver-white statues of various shapes, including animals and humans.
The largest of them is over a hundred feet tall, while the smallest is seven or eight feet tall. They are all motionless, but an inexplicable evil aura emanates from them.
On top of the city walls, there were rows of blue-armored guards holding long spears, patrolling in an orderly manner, but there was no trace of life in their bodies, they were just human-shaped puppets.
Near the castle, there were more than a dozen metal puppets each hundreds of feet tall, standing there holding swords.
Led by the black-faced man, Ye Changsheng and others landed directly in front of the spiritual hall of the castle, and then entered the hall under the supervision of the two white-robed guards at the door.
There were not many people in the hall, only three. One of them was sitting on a chair with a calm and composed expression. He was the Mahayana stage being of the Tianyun clan—the young man named Weng.
The two people standing next to them were only in the Nascent Soul stage, and they listened to the young man's instructions with respect on their faces.
"Greetings to the Grand Elder!" As soon as Fairy Yue and the old man entered the hall, they immediately led the people of the Tianyun clan to pay homage.
"Oh, you are back. Good, good, two of you have advanced to the Saint Clan. Everyone, get up." When the young man saw the Moon Fairy and the old man, his eyes lit up slightly and he said with a smile on his face.
"Senior, there is another team that is located farther away. It will probably take some time for them to arrive!" The dark-faced man stepped forward and bowed.
"Well, is it the team led by Fellow Daoist Han? Just in case, you should go and support them!" The young man surnamed Weng said to the black-faced man after a moment of thought.
The dark-faced man agreed respectfully upon hearing this and then walked out of the hall.
Hearing the words of the young man surnamed Weng, Yue Xianzi and others stood up and stood on both sides with extremely respectful expressions.
After the young man surnamed Weng glanced at these people, he turned and looked at Ye Changsheng.
"Fellow Daoist Ye has entered the Saint level. This is truly a happy event. Congratulations!" The young man surnamed Weng said to Ye Changsheng with a kind look.
However, he showed special care to Ye Changsheng, with a smile on his face, as if seeing Ye Changsheng advance to the fusion stage made him happier than seeing the other two Tianyun people advance to the fusion stage .
This scene was indeed a bit strange, leaving many Tianyun people present confused and puzzled.
"I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough, and I would like to thank you for the treasure you gave me before I set out!" Ye Changsheng said with a bow.
At the same time, he felt relieved. The young man surnamed Weng really didn't realize that he had already advanced to the peak of the fusion.
If this person finds out, there will probably be some trouble. Who knows what kind of trouble the Tianyun clan will do.
Now that Ye Changsheng wants to borrow their teleportation formation, he would naturally try his best not to cause trouble.
When the young man surnamed Weng heard what he said, he smiled and nodded, looked away, and then waved his hand.
Immediately, the two Nascent Soul cultivators beside him tactfully excused themselves and left.
Then the young man surnamed Weng sat still, and everyone else fell silent as well.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, footsteps were heard outside, and then the dark-faced man came in with a group of people.
The aura of these people was a little unstable, and some of them looked a little disheveled, as if they had just experienced a battle.
"Senior Weng, I have brought the person here!" The dark-faced man bowed and said to the young man named Weng.
The group of people behind him were naturally Han Li and other cultivators who came out of the Guanghan Realm. They were too far away from here and had experienced a hard battle on the way here.
When these people saw the young man named Weng, their faces were naturally filled with joy, and they all came forward to pay their respects.
Seeing that there was also a combined cultivator among this group of people, the young man named Weng nodded with satisfaction and told them to stand up.
When he saw everyone was there, he spoke:
"The situation is rather special right now, so I'll keep it short. You've all seen what Yuncheng looks like now."
"It's very simple. Our tribe fell into a trap set by the Jiaochi people. They moved their main frontline forces to a dangerous place and trapped them temporarily. The Jiaochi army took the opportunity to capture thirteen cities in a row and reached Yuncheng in one breath."
"And the map of our city's restriction formation has also been stolen by the enemy. We can't rely on the restriction formation to fight against the enemy's army, so our city will be abandoned soon. You don't have to stay here any longer, and evacuate to the nearest Fujiao City immediately." The young man surnamed Weng said lightly.
