After listening to Lin Feng’s instructions, Luo Qingwu was curious, “What matter? Please tell me, Master.”

Lin Feng turned his attention to Yang Qing at this point, “It’s regarding your Fifth Senior’s disciple, Zhou Yuncong.”

Yang Qing, Luo Qingwu and the rest were slightly stunned as they heard him. They all appeared to be thinking of something.

Although everyone including Yang Qing was surprised, they knew that Lin Feng had his reasons for doing things.

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin seemed to understand. They looked at each other and Zhu Yi said slowly, “It starts from his abduction by the Golden Cicada Master, but it has nothing to do with the Golden Cicada Master.”

Wang Lin nodded his head, “It starts from Yuncong himself.”

After hearing their words, everyone else reacted. Xiao Yan sat cross-legged and placed his hands on his knees. He furrowed his brows and said, “Although we’re unaware of where the Golden Cicada Master and Cosmic Marble Buddha are, the matter has already been settled. Even if they abduct Yuncong again, they’re unlikely to obtain anything. Moreover, the Cosmic Marble Buddha has already descended on his own.”

“But if the Great Void Sect is going to the Spirit Sea too, how many people can they leave to find trouble with us?”

Zhu Yi’s Yi Daoist talisman flashed continuously in his eyes, whereas Wang Lin’s eyes seemed to turn into mirror surfaces, reflecting mystical and strange radiances.

“Although I can’t clearly tell, it doesn’t have to be an abduction. It can be something else…” Zhu Yi pondered as he said. Wang Lin’s gaze turned cold, “The Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror was a Great Void Sect treasure in the past. Even if there’s no special plan, they must possess some information that we’re unaware.”

Li Yuanfang asked, “Master, does Mister Miao have any explanation regarding the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror?”

Lin Feng shook his head, “Before Chen Xingyu entered the sect, Shihao had already left the Great Void Sect. His knowledge is also limited. Before this, the matter was concealed very tightly too. Even the Supreme Elders have very little understanding of the matter.”

Xiao Yan was a little regretful as he said, “Although the Chi Yang Holy Man knows that the Great Void Holy Man brought the Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror into the Death Sea, he already entered the Netherworld Sea because of Shen Yuan before the broken Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror returned to the Greater World. His knowledge about the matter is also limited.”

Lin Feng laughed, “Although we don’t have many clues, I’m roughly aware. Qingwu, you just need to be prudent.”

Everyone focused as they heard his words, while Luo Qingwu nodded her head, “Master, please instruct me.”

…

On Mount Baiyun right now, there was also a discussion going on.

At the peak of the mountain, the bunch of elders gathered regardless whether it was their projections or their true selves.

“The Spirit Sea is about to re-open much earlier than expected. There are pros and cons to this matter.” Lin Daohan calmly said.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man, Yun Yuanzhen and the rest in front of him nodded their heads without speaking.

Although no one spoke, they knew in their hearts that the Celestial Sect of Wonders was growing more and more influential. The more frightening thing was that their growth didn’t seem to stop. It’d only just started and had yet to reach its peak.

It was very difficult to imagine how the Celestial Sect of Wonders would be like as their powers continued to grow.

From this perspective, it might be a good thing that the Spirit Sea was re-opening earlier.

But the date was brought forward by a lot. The Supreme Heavenly Mirror wouldn’t be able to restore in time. To the Great Void Sect, this was a huge disadvantage. After all, their opponents in the battle for the Spirit Sea weren’t just the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The Heaven-Destroying Sword couldn’t enter the Spirit Sea, but there were bound to be many powerful Hades demons entering the Spirit Sea under the leadership of the Illusory Sun Hades.

Besides, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage released the Secret Spirit Sea Keys. It was difficult to predict who would obtain these keys and join in the scramble. There’s a need to take precautions.

Kuang Heng softly said, “Since the matter has come to this stage, we don’t have to discuss so much. We just need to give it our all.”

Lin Daohan nodded his head, “That’s right. That’s what we should do.”

The Xuan Yi Holy Man said, “During the War of the Two Worlds, the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces was crushed. Although we’ve been trying to restore it over these few years, we can’t fully restore its vital energy. After the Spirit Sea re-opens, the demons might target our sect if they attack the Divine Lands.

“The Supreme Heavenly Mirror will leave the Divine Lands and enter the Spirit Sea. Mount Baiyun will become very empty.”

The Zheng Yi Holy Man opened his mouth, “This time, I’ll remain in the Divine Lands.”

Lin Daohan said, “No, the three elders must enter the Spirit Sea along with my disciples.”

Everyone was curious as they looked at Lin Daohan. Lin Daohan’s tone of voice didn’t seem to change, “I can roughly guess why Lin Feng accepted the Hades’ Emperor’s son as his disciple.”

“His thinking isn’t exactly wrong or implausible. However, it’s equally possible for him to fail and succeed. The ramifications of failure are so severe that even the Celestial Sect of Wonders and even the Divine Lands can’t bear them. We can’t have the same mindset as him. This battle cannot be avoided.”

“And if the Spirit Sea lands in the hands of the Hades tribe or the other demons, the consequences would be dire.”

Lin Daohan calmly said, “Whether it’s to curb the mess in the Divine Lands or to resist the demons, the battle for the Spirit Sea is an extremely important matter for the sect. We can’t have any mistakes. If we manage to cultivate the Spirit Sea, we can deal with the demons even if they cause trouble.”

Cai Fengzhou slightly creased her brows, “Will it be too risky? If something unexpected happens in the Divine Lands, we’ll be unable to adapt quickly.”

Lin Daohan answered softly, “It’s either the Supreme Heavenly Mirror or Heaven-Destroying Sword. The Emperor of the Dead is unlikely to act if it’s neither of these two treasures. But the Supreme Heavenly Mirror is entering the Spirit Sea and he’s no plan to snatch the Heaven-Destroying Sword. That’s why the Emperor of the Dead will only act in the Netherworld Sea if he remains. It’s the Celestial Sect of Wonders that should be wary of him.

“The Cosmic Marble Buddha has descended. If he doesn’t enter the Spirit Sea, he may come to our sect to settle the matter of karma. Then we’ll give him a round of karma. His golden bowl landed in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders due to the Golden Cicada Master’s mistake. It’s also his misfortune.”

Lin Daohan paused for a moment, “At this point, it involves something else that’s crucial. When the three elders and I proceed to the Spirit Sea, the plan in the Divine Lands will also begin. Lin Feng, Zhu Yi, and Wang Lin are brilliant in the deduction of karmic fate. They might have discovered something, but I don’t think it’s clear to them.”

“The less we interfere, the fewer clues they’ll have. This’ll be more beneficial to the execution of the plan.”

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman sighed, “If you and Senior Uncle Tai Yi didn’t mention it, we wouldn’t have expected things to be in this way…”

Lin Daohan continued speaking, “The Heavenly Born Daoist is a variable. But if he returns to Mount Baiyun, we’ll have something awaiting him. At least he’ll return with nothing.”

“I’ll need Uncle Wu to adapt to the situation in the Netherworld Sea.” Lin Daohan looked at Wu Mengqi. Wu Mengqi nodded his head silently and didn’t speak.

Lin Daohan said, “I’ve to admit that the demons have been less of a concern in the Divine Lands since the Heaven-Destroying Sword is remaining in the Divine Lands. This is a blessing for the Divine Lands and we’ve benefited from this too.”

“But at the same time, no one can control that sword once Lin Feng enters the Spirit Sea. Once it loses control, the Divine Lands would descend into an absolute mess even without the demons and Emperor of Dead wreaking havoc. This is something that I have the least grasp over. We’ve no control over this matter.”

Lin Daohan’s tone remained very calm throughout. There was no fluctuation in his emotions. But at this point, there was some fluctuation.

Because the Heavenly-Destroying Sword is unable to enter the Spirit Sea, the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ strength in the Spirit Sea was greatly reduced. But in this way, there might be hidden dangers. Lin Daohan was at a loss because of this.

If the Heaven-Destroying Sword really lost control, the Zheng Yi Holy Man would be useless even if he remained in the Divine Lands. Even the Tai Yi Holy Man was helpless without the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

The Great Void Sect had no room to conserve in the battle for the Ying Sea; they needed all their best people and treasures there.

“Man proposes, God disposes. Cultivating the Spirit Sea and combining it with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror will make it possible to suppress the sword.” The Tai Yi Holy Man spoke at this point. “The re-opening of the Spirit Sea concerns the fate of the Grand Celestial World. We must give our all.”

Lin Daohan, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the rest nodded their heads, “Indeed so.”

The Zheng Yi Holy Man looked at Kuang Heng and said slowly, “I’ll leave things in the Divine Lands to you. The Spirit Sea is the important thing here. As for the Greater World, we’ll have to exercise patience.”

Kuang Heng’s voice was very calm, “I understand. I’ll prioritize the original plan and adapt according to the situation. When the battle for the Spirit Sea is over, we can decide what to do again.”

His gaze became a little deep and serene, “When necessary, I’ll act just like Junior Yan.”

The Xuan Yi Holy Man said, “Our sect has an advantage in the battle for the Spirit Sea. But our opponents are also very strong. We need to be wary.”

“If things don’t go our way, we’ll have to resort to our backup plan.” The Tai Yi Holy Man shut his eyes. There was no emotion on his face, “In short, let’s give it our all.”

Everyone lifted their head to look into void space above Mount Baiyun. Between the clouds, there was a circular mirror light. It could subtly be seen. It seemed to connect the Heavens and guided the entire Greater World.

In void space above the north foot of Mount Kunlun, Lin Feng sat at the top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree on Mount Yujing. His disciples had already received his instructions. They were either preparing or cultivating.

Lin Feng looked at void space far away and pondered in his mind, “Who’ll be there?”
