Chapter 342: Chapter 339 Sanqing Hall
One month.
He had just used the Void Projection Technique, and a whole month had passed.
Do the two worlds have different time flow rates?
No, that’s not right!
If the time flow rates were different, why would he be able to communicate with Qiushan Mountain and Blue Star in real time?
In a flash, countless thoughts emerged in his mind.
Among them, the most clear was the speculation about the Immortal Projection World on Blue Star.
Blue Star!
This world.
The two originally existed in the same space but at different times.
It’s like two trains passing on the same track at different times.
For some reason, the two trains, which should have crossed at different times, intersected on the time dimension.
In the end, the two "saw" each other.
And the possibility of "contact" arose.
This one-month time difference.
Stems from the leap between the two worlds.
Just like the time needed to traverse the distance between the two trains.
In other words, it’s only when he wanted to truly cross the world timelines that this change occurred.
In the future, as time goes by and the two trains draw closer, this change will become smaller and smaller.
When one day the timelines of both worlds align perfectly, it will be the time when the two worlds completely overlap.
"Before that, it’s not that the two worlds can’t intersect at all."
He himself is the best example.
Even...
As time goes by, more and more cases like his will emerge.
It’s just that those people won’t be able to grow strong enough to touch the "True Spirit Realm" and return to Blue Star to confirm their speculations in a short period.
"So, my speculation is true. The reason why projecting the Void Projection Technique onto Xie Yusheng consumed so much energy is because I broke through the spacetime constraints between them. It’s as if I’m projecting from the past to the future, or from the future to the past. And the feeling of weakness before, as well as the reduced perception between my main body and I, is not due to the issues with Spiritual Sense or True Spirit..."
Gu Jinlai had a moment of enlightenment.
It was time.
The flow of time obstructed the connection between the True Spirit and the main body.
So much so that even if he infused Qingguang, he couldn’t completely eliminate this effect.
"Patriarch, are you alright?"
Gu Chaoyang couldn’t help but ask with concern.
The situation in Lingxiao Palace was currently very promising, and the fortunes of both the Gu family and the entire Tian Nan were tied to Gu Jinlai. If anything happened to him...
It would be a fatal blow to both the Gu family and the emerging powerhouse that was Lingxiao Palace.
"I’m fine. I was just too engrossed in comprehending Divine Skills," replied Gu Jinlai.
He looked at everyone present: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be time to send troops to Mu State, right?"
"Yes," Xin Tianqi nodded. "The troops from our Lingxiao Palace headquarters, as well as those from the various halls of Lingxiao Palace, have all gathered. We’re just waiting for the order from the Southern King to set off."
He paused slightly as he said this, looking at Gu Jinlai with some concern: "Your Highness, you don’t seem to be in the best condition now. Maybe... the advance on Mu State should be postponed by a month?"
"There’s no need," Gu Jinlai calmed himself. "I’ve just consumed some Spiritual Sense. If I take some Primordial Spirit Pills, I can recover quickly. Since the strategy for the battle of Mu State has already been formulated, it should be executed strictly."
Xin Tianqi, Zhang Lihuo, Jing Yunshan, and the others exchanged looks. Considering the forces Lingxiao Palace currently possessed...
At that moment, everyone nodded their heads.
"We will duly follow the Palace Master’s will."
Everyone respectfully withdrew.
However, Zhang Lihuo didn’t leave. He approached and said, "Venerable Daoist, we don’t need to rush troops to Mu State. The construction of the Cheng Ying Mecha is not something that can be completed swiftly... Besides, if we wait a little longer and produce more Sword Heavy Cannons and shells, the battle to subjugate Mu State will go more smoothly."
He obviously thought that Gu Jinlai wanted to gather enough Immortal Essence Gold quickly to forge a second Cheng Ying Mecha.
But Gu Jinlai shook his head.
He looked toward Mu State to the south.
In a few months, Mu State’s dark Lucky Qi had grown substantially.
Considering Mu State’s perfunctory attack on Blue State and the tranquility of the demons in this period...
He sensed the ominous signs of an impending storm.
"We cannot let the demons of Mu State continue unchecked; such a latent threat is best eliminated swiftly," Gu Jinlai advised gravely. "Enough said, you and Xin Tianqi will take charge here, while I will take all the Emperor’s Masters like Zhang Yukan with me to ensure a successful sweep of the demons in Mu State."
Zhang Lihuo nodded, "Emperor Qian, upon learning that we’re amassing an army for an advance into Mu State, issued an edict three days ago to express his approval and encouragement, along with a warning to the other forces."
Mu State is not the Yunqi Mountain Range, nor is it Tianhe.
It is a territory that has completely fallen.
Over the years, the number of demons that have entrenched themselves there must have reached hundreds of thousands, if not millions, or even several millions.
Though because Mu State’s fall is relatively recent, these demons are not as elite as those in Tianhe. But such a vast number is enough to make any force feel anxious.
And considering the extent of Mu State, which spans tens of thousands of kilometers...
Now that Lingxiao Palace has rallied the power of everything south of Tianhe, it would take half a year, or even one to two years, to pacify Mu State.
During this period, the power structure of Lingxiao Palace would inevitably be empty.
And the decree from Emperor Qian, Jiang Tianji, full of warnings, undoubtedly told the world that Lingxiao City’s recovery of Mu State was meritorious to the state and was an act of revenge against the devils on behalf of all humanity. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
During this period, any force that dared to launch an attack taking advantage of the emptiness of Lingxiao Palace would be met with a thunderous strike from the Daqian Dynasty.
"Emperor Qian has been considerate,"
Gu Jinlai said with a voice, "With this, we have even less to worry about now."
"Here, I wish the Supreme Elder all success in exterminating the devils and achieving a triumphant victory."
Zhang Lihuo said earnestly with a cupped-fist salute.
"Then I’ll take your propitious words."
Gu Jinlai smiled slightly.
...
Moon State.
Sanqing Hall.
As the number one force in Qiantian, just the openly known strength of Sanqing Hall which includes two Saints, two Divine Weapons, and an Earthly True Immortal, was almost unimaginable.
If they wished, they could even overturn the reign of the Daqian Dynasty.
Even the formidable Emperor’s Master Tai Yuan, when faced with two Saints wielding Divine Weapons and Master Wushi, who was an Earthly True Immortal and the foremost expert in the world, had no path but defeat.
Moreover, if Master Wushi wanted to target him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to flee.
Because...
Compared to Tai Yuan who wielded a Divine Weapon, Master Wushi had been recognized by the Divine Weapon as its master.
The difference between the two...
Those who wield a Divine Weapon are somewhat like a person with a sniper rifle, battling an opponent with a wooden stick using its superior steel quality, and gaining an overwhelming advantage.
Whereas those who are recognized by a Divine Weapon as its master are akin to a top marksman facing an enemy of the same realm with a wooden stick.
There is no comparison between the two.
It’s just a pity...
The Saints and the Earthly True Immortal of Sanqing Hall were not in harmony.
In particular, a hundred years ago, Master Wushi seemed to have suffered heavy injuries and transferred the Star Heart and the World Sword, both Divine Weapons, to the care of True Monarchs Wu Zhong and Wu Nian. Since then he remained in seclusion.
It was unknown whether he was healing or comprehending the legendary True Immortal Realm, said to bestow longevity and ageless vision for a thousand years.
With Master Wushi in seclusion and not emerging, the conflicts between True Monarchs Wu Zhong and Wu Nian only continued to accumulate.
Now, the three Monarchs had already parted ways, residing separately in different places within Moon State.
Nominally, Sanqing Hall was still a single force, but internally it had already split into three branches and there was still some degree of contention.
This was also the reason why, for a hundred years, Sanqing Hall had never raised their banner to turn over the ruling of Daqian Royal Family over the Qiantian World.
...
At this moment, in the most core location of Sanqing Hall——the Wuchen Residence.
Three adults, two men and one woman, rushed to the Wuchen Residence with a young man in tow.
Any one of these three, if placed outside, would be a significant figure capable of making Moon State, even the greater Daqian, tremble with a stomp of their foot.
Xuanqing, Xuan Chi, and Xuanwu.
All three of them were Devas.
Devas within the main branch of Sanqing Hall.
Yet at this moment, their faces were filled with worry.
"How could this be? How could Xuan Yue suffer such a severe injury? His soul has been gravely wounded!?"
Xuanqing’s voice was full of urgency.
"According to the young man who brought him here, they discovered a crack in the Demon Realm during their adventure and invited him, as well as two Heavenly Masters, to go seal the rift; in the end, they were injured by the Demon Spirits from the crack,"
Xuanwu said solemnly.
"A crack in the Demon Realm!? Those three dared to engage Xuan Yue in such a risky matter, they deserve death!"
Xuanqing’s face was filled with severity.
"Xuan Yue snuck out because we locked him up for too long, and joined an adventure team with someone named Zong Xuan; those people had no idea of his identity... And when he was gravely injured, they brought Xuan Yue back with utmost haste over a long distance..."
Xuanwu let out a sigh.
But before he could finish, Xuanqing interrupted him, "So what!?"
This woman, appearing to be in her thirties and exuding an air of elegance and nobility, wore a slight shade of indifference, "Xuan Yue is hurt because of them, they should die! Do you not realize what Xuan Yue means to us?"
Xuanwu glanced at the young man still showing signs of pain even in unconsciousness and said no more.
The young man looked very young, not because he had reached the state of True Monarch and lived to two hundred.
He was indeed young.
He was not yet thirty.
He became a True Monarch before thirty, not because of his talent.
The reason, which only a very few in the main branch of Sanqing Hall knew, was that he was the only one who could resonate with the World Sword.
In other words, if it weren’t for the current master of the World Sword—Master Wushi—still being alive, he would be the next master of the Divine Weapon.
And the potential that comes with being recognized by a Divine Weapon as its master...
The glorious achievements of Emperor Tianji, Master Wushi, Abyss Lord, Wuying, and Tai A, dazzled the world with their luster.
Even Xuan Yue, therefore, became a Primordial Spirit True Monarch before the age of thirty.
But now, this future certain master of the Divine Weapon, who would reach the same heights as Master Wushi, Abyss Lord, Wuying, and Tai A, was gravely injured and on the brink of death!
How could the three Devas not be enraged!?
