Chapter 878 - 334: Fame Shaken Across the World (Part 5)
But, is there a chance?Kang Ming asked himself.
He hoped so.
However, he would not completely pin his hopes on others.
Kang Ming’s gaze regained clarity and determination.
Even if the road ahead was filled with obstacles, he would strive to preserve this alternative possibility.
Even if everything might be in vain.
Perhaps, they might be completely annihilated tomorrow...
......
In Mount Shu of Western Sichuan, Lei Jun was in the southeastern sky of Medicine King.
There, a sliver of golden light cut through the sky, coming from the east.
Under the reflection of the Great Celestial Mirror’s rotation, it could be seen that Tang Xiaotang had arrived.
Celestial Master Tang was not in a good mood.
Endowed with the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, she was having a hearty battle with the so-called Western White Emperor.
Yet, as soon as the opponent realized the situation was unfavorable, they fled.
Tang Xiaotang chased for a while, but ultimately the opponent successfully escaped.
Tang Xiaotang turned back to seek Huang Xuanpu again, but when she rushed towards the Snow Mountains of Western Sichuan, she found out Huang Xuanpu had already been killed by Lei Jun.
The Northern Sea Whale King had likewise slipped away.
Someone felt quite helpless.
Her abundant energy was in desperate need of release.
Needless to say, the battles between Great Tang cultivators and Inner Mount Shu sect cultivators were still ongoing.
Alright then, that’s you.
Without a word, Celestial Master Tang charged directly south of the Bashu Basin.
With the distance being too far, Lei Jun couldn’t clearly see the details of the battle.
At present, without moving positions, he could only see the outskirts, where Lin Yuwei and others were engaged.
Overall, the situation was not particularly favorable for the Great Tang cultivators there.
Although there were two Ninth Heavenly Layer experts, Master Renzhu and Fang Jingsheng, their adversaries also had top-level champions, along with powerful magical treasures.
Nonetheless, Tang Xiaotang possessed the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, so with her cultivation strength, it shouldn’t be too worrisome.
As for Xu Yuanzhen, she hadn’t come over; she’s still overseas.
"Huang Xuanpu is dead?"
Xu Yuanzhen wasn’t particularly bothered by not being able to personally deal with Huang Xuanpu.
Though she had always wished to personally eliminate the opponent, it wouldn’t weigh on her mind.
If Huang Xuanpu had managed to escape this ordeal, she might have been more displeased.
"Since Xiaotang has already arrived at Mount Shu, I won’t rush there."
Xu Yuanzhen casually remarked: "Xiaotang is all bark, no bite. I am more interested in the Great Ming Artifact Refining Sect cultivator she lost track of, so I’ll look around for them now."
Although she was injured, with her current cultivation strength, anyone looking to take advantage would need to be a formidable opponent in a complete state like Huang Xuanpu.
So Lei Jun said little, only commented: "I have slain two members of the Great Ming Mortal Realm Kingdom, and among their belongings, there are some things we can examine later."
Xu Yuanzhen: "Good, keep those things; we’ll review them later."
Lei Jun ended the conversation with Xu Yuanzhen.
On his side, he did succeed in capturing some spoils of war.
Besides Shang Nan and Xue Xingzi, there were a few items from Huang Xuanpu.
Other things were returned first.
Huang Xuanpu’s items were few but exquisite, and among them, Lei Jun acquired a particularly refined spiritual treasure.
Named, Five Qi Three Cave Crystal.
This magical artifact had been absent in the Great Tang realm for many years.
Even in the past, it was exceedingly rare.
Its functionality and effects are incredibly potent, used to aid Eightfold Heaven cultivators in breaking through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer, avoiding disasters during the Heavenly Moat Tribulation.
Though possessing this treasure doesn’t make the transition from Eightfold Heaven to Ninth Heavenly Layer as smooth as a walk in the park, it can still cause top-tier cultivators worldwide to fight over it.
Even if it merely increases the chance of success, it still signifies a critical challenge between Eightfold Heaven and Ninth Heavenly Layer.
Throughout history, it has deterred countless Eightfold Heaven cultivators from attempting it, and likewise, caused many daring Eightfold Heaven complete realm experts to perish in the tribulation.
This is rare indeed... Lei Jun first put away these heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Meanwhile, Elder Miaokong, busy subduing the remnants of the Yellow Sky Altar, finished communication with his Tianlong Temple associates.
"Elder Lei, I’ve heard your sect’s Celestial Master Tang retrieved the Celestial Master Robe?" Elder Miaokong inquired Lei Jun.
Lei Jun, still appearing physically weakened and in slow recovery, gently nodded:
"Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, we’ve finally reclaimed the Celestial Master Robe from the Human Realm Kingdom; all the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures have returned to the mountain, and our sect leader and elder sisters, along with the disciples of Dragon Tiger, can finally comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven."
When Tang Xiaotang rushed out of the chaotic void caused by Taiyi Primordial Tower, she was already adorned in a dazzling kaleidoscope.
This time arriving in the Land of Bashu as a heroine, fully equipped with the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, she was indeed strikingly cool.
With the historical mission of the Human Realm Kingdom now concluded, the Celestial Master Robe naturally returned to ’the mountain.’
Neither Lei Jun nor the Celestial Master Mansion needed to shy away from celebrating the return of the Celestial Master Robe to Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Elder Miaokong: "Indeed, a joyous occasion."
......
Suzhou, within Tianlong Temple.
Abbot Miaoxin sat opposite Elder Miaoyi.
"Huang Xuanpu has fallen, the Celestial Master Robe has returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain; this time, the Celestial Master Mansion’s momentum is remarkable," Elder Miaoyi said emotionally.
Abbot Miaoxin: "Such is karma, beyond human control."
Elder Miaoyi: "What the Abbot brother says is true."
He paused slightly, then looked at his partner: "Brother, what you said to Elder Miaokong earlier seemed inappropriate; monks do not lie..."
Just earlier, Abbot Miaoxin and Elder Miaokong agreed on strategies regarding the demise of Master Zongcuo, leaving room for flexibility.
At the time, apart from Lei Jun, only Elder Miaokong was present...
