Chapter 533: 261. Celestial Master Mansion Settles Accounts (Two-in-One Chapter)

Lei Jun raised his head to the sky.

Under the effect of the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript, his vision and perception exceeded those of the vast majority of cultivators at the same realm.

Thus, in the early stages, Lei Jun was still able to observe the Great Celestial Sky Jade ascending.

However, as the Great Celestial Sky Jade continued to rise, it gradually disappeared from Lei Jun’s field of vision.

At this time, between Lei Jun’s eyebrows, a faint glimmer of light could be seen piercing through, shooting straight up into the heavens.

The light was subtle, yet it traveled a great distance with little decay, exceptionally stable.

In the firmament above, a fine thread of light, much like starlight, seemed to fall.

As the slender beams of light interwove and connected, they vanished together into the invisible.

In Lei Jun’s field of vision, the Great Celestial Sky Jade reappeared, ascending into the high skies.

Then, his perspective changed once more, as if he himself had risen to a high altitude, looking down at the world of mountains and rivers shrouded in the night.

But there were many issues with this viewpoint.

Lei Jun had a calm expression as he waved towards the sky.

Amidst the twinkling of stars, the Great Celestial Sky Jade fell back down from the sky.

Lei Jun spread open his palm and caught the treasure.

"There’s still much room for improvement and refinement."

Despite saying so, Lei Jun nodded in satisfaction.

Regarding the Great Celestial Sky Jade, he was even more pleased; at this moment, Elder Lei quite hoped to obtain more such Spiritual Objects.

Speaking of which, despite their opposing stances, the first time Lei Jun saw the Wuyou Tribulation of the Jinzhou Ye Clan, he had become interested in related matters.

At that time, Ye Moquan used the technique of channeling distant celestial light to draw upon the power of the Wuyou Tribulation’s Sacrificial Ritual Ceremony to aid him, utilizing the Great Celestial Sky Jade that hung in the sky.

In this way, the Wuyou Tribulation ritual could be set up in a distant location, and Ye Moquan, being in the Ye Clan Ancestral Land, did not have to worry about enemies undermining him and interrupting the ritual.

Moreover, through the mediation of the Great Celestial Sky Jade above the heavens, it was also difficult for others to pinpoint the location of the ritual; thus, Ye Han and her companions were also much safer.

Unless there were spies among Ye Han or her companions, under normal circumstances, their location would not have been exposed. Lei Jun finding them at Tianle Mountain was a highly unusual event.

In fact, even before Lei Jun himself went to Tianle Mountain, he was not certain what exactly was there.

The so-called Wuyou Tribulation not only referred to Ye Moquan’s backup plan when facing an enemy but also indicated that the ritual on Tianle Mountain itself was secure and untroubled.

However, overall, even though the technique of channeling distant celestial light helped Ye Moquan coordinate from within and without to attack Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene, the primary function of this spell was supportive and augmentative.

Lei Jun, on the other hand, had many more ideas, hoping it could serve more purposes.

He anticipated that once everything matured, he would combine the Great Celestial Sky Jade with the Yu Chen Real Water infused within, along with other treasures, to refine a rather special magical treasure that would eventually reach a stable state.

However, there was no need to rush at the moment, as Lei Jun still had many ideas and plans waiting to be tried.

For now, he continuously refined both the Great Celestial Sky Jade and the Yu Chen Real Water.

And so, as the starlight rose and fell, ascended and descended, the process continued repeatedly, cycling over and over.

In the following days, Lei Jun stayed peacefully within the sect gates, focusing on his own cultivation practice while also teaching his disciples.

As time passed, more and more news arrived from the Guanlong region. With an increasing number of Human Race cultivators rushing to aid Guanzhong, the crisis there was lifted.

Pure Yang Palace’s two Eighth Heavenly Layer Elders, Guan Jing and Lü Jinduan, returned together, and Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu also arrived in Guanzhong one after another.

Although the current Clan Chief of the Jingxiang Fang Clan, Fang Jingsheng, and the Sect Leader of the Mount Shu Sect, Fu Dongsen, did not arrive, neither the Fang Clan nor the Mount Shu Sect skimped on their efforts this time; both sent top experts leading a host of capable forces to Guanzhong.

Great Demons like the Long Sky Gray Wolf that had wreaked havoc before had to restrain themselves and could no longer act recklessly.

And the Snow Country Bear King, who commanded another contingent of Great Demons besieging the Old Capital Chang’an, although still overwhelmingly arrogant, could no longer act as unbridled as before.

Before Empress Zhang Wantong’s holy carriage arrived in Chang’an, the siege on Chang’an was successfully lifted.

After arriving and establishing her presence in Chang’an, she did not pursue them northwards but instead stayed temporarily to preside over Chang’an.

On one hand, she stabilized the hearts of the people and the situation in Guanzhong.

On the other hand, the Vajra Temple, representing Mount Sumeru’s Vajra Division, presented documents to the Great Tang, hoping to be granted an audience with the Tang Emperor. Empress Zhang Wantong approved this audience.

During her stay in Chang’an, the battle against the demons in Guanlong continued.

The Great Demons withdrew north from Guanzhong but had not yet crossed the Grand River.

Human Race cultivators clashed with the Great Demons multiple times on the highlands south of the Grand River.

The Current Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang, wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword, shook the highlands. She directly fought Great Demons equivalent in strength to the Human Race’s Eightfold Heaven Realm and even withstood the Northern Lands’ Demon King, Long Sky Gray Wolf—a being of the Nine Heavens Levels—becoming the most dazzling figure in this battle.

Tang Xiaotang, carrying the Celestial Master’s Sword, and Mount Shu Elder Zhang Dongyuan, with the Blue Abyss Sword, became the pillars of the Human Race’s side, facing the pressure brought by Long Sky Gray Wolf and the Snow Country Bear King.

Another individual of note on the Human Race’s side was Chu Yu, who shot and killed another Great Demon of the Eightfold Heaven Realm with his well-aimed arrows. He also killed one Seventh Heavenly Layer Great Demon and injured another, though his performance was not as eye-catching as Tang Xiaotang’s.

In the fierce battles, not only did the Demon Race suffer losses, but the Human Race cultivators also faced further deaths and injuries.

It was only when several red-robed Dharma Kings from the Buddhist Sect arrived on the southern bank of the Grand River that the demons finally gave up on maintaining their position on the south bank, retreating to the north of the Grand River and beginning to withdraw back to the Northern Border.

These red-robed Dharma Kings were from the Vajra Temple.

To be precise, they came from what they called the Vajra Division of Mount Sumeru.

They first visited the Old Capital Chang’an to meet the Empress.

The outcome of the meeting between the two parties was unknown to the outside world.

However, several Dharma Kings from the Vajra Division subsequently headed north, helping Human Race cultivators quell the demon chaos.

The leader among them, known as Jiasheng Upper Master, was surprisingly a reclusive cultivation expert from the Buddhist Handprint Lineage at the Nine Heavens Realm. When he revealed his cultivation, it shook the world.
