With the help of the Mingjiang River God, they arrived at Yunzhou Wharf half a day earlier than expected.

The Mingjiang River God also stopped the waves when the ship was about to reach the dock, allowing the ship to sail into the port on its own, and swam his huge body back into the river.

The Mingjiang River God did not take advantage of this opportunity to appear directly in front of the port terminal to publicize his magical powers and beliefs, but chose to leave early. There are two reasons for this.

The first reason is naturally that the Great Xia court’s hostility towards the aquatic people has not yet been eliminated. Large docks like the Yunzhou Dock are manned by monks from the Imperial Observatory. Rashly intrusion will arouse the hostility of the Great Xia court.

The second reason is that forcibly showing up and displaying supernatural powers is too deliberate. In this environment where there is general hatred towards the Jidu water tribe, it will instead cause disgust and resistance from the human race.

In this networked age, as long as the Mingjiang River God persists in escorting the human race in the Jishui River, his reputation will spread sooner or later, and there is no need to rush.

Seeing how the Mingjiang River God knew when to advance and retreat, Shen Yuan couldn't help but nod slightly.

Looking at the fat body gradually moving away, Shen Yuan noticed the remaining power of Cangzhou Shintoism that had been dissipating rapidly since he left Cangzhou.

After the remaining power of these gods leaves Cangzhou, it is likely that they will not last for a few hours before they are completely returned to heaven and earth. Even the magical power to drive away the gods cannot preserve them.

Rather than letting it dissipate naturally, it is better to let the remaining power of the Shintoism play its final value.

"You're lucky."

Shen Yuan stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face. He used his index finger as a pen and the remaining power of the gods as ink. A complex divine command took shape in the void.

In the river, the Mingjiang River God, who was riding the waves towards Cangzhou, suddenly heard a whisper with a hint of laughter.

"good!"

The majestic power descended upon the Jishui River. The Mingjiang River God only felt as if an infinitely majestic god in the void slowly opened his eyes and cast his gaze into the narrow river.

The next moment, all the shadows disappeared, but Mingjiang River God could feel that as the gaze of that majestic deity fell on him, his perception of the divine power floating between heaven and earth became clearer.

Because of the gaze of that deity, the gods of this world actually showed some favor to him.

Even though these favors may seem insignificant, in the vast world of incense and deity, the impact of these favors will enable him to ascend to a higher rank with less incense and faith, and it will be easier for him to condense the incense divine realm and the incense golden body.

In future Shinto battles, Shinto's favor will bring him a huge advantage. Even if other gods have higher cultivation, they will be far from being able to make up for the gap.

Among the three states in the southern region, there is only one existence who can make the gods of this world bless him with just a glance, and that is the god who appeared in Qingping County to suppress the Jidu Dragon Palace.

Thinking of this, the Mingjiang River God quickly turned around and looked towards the direction of the dock behind him.

He realized that it was most likely because of his act of escorting human ships that he received the reward from the God.

The Mingjiang River God was ecstatic.

This was not only because he was happy about the gift from the God, but the more important reason was that the Mingjiang River God knew that what he had done was recognized by the God.

For the aquatic creatures in the Jishui River, the god who untied the shackles of the Jidu Dragon Palace for hundreds of millions of aquatic creatures has incomparable prestige.

Being recognized by such a great figure is definitely a huge encouragement for the Mingjiang River God, and it is even more exciting to him than the favor of the gods.

"Little God Mingjiang, thank you, His Majesty!"

"Mingjiang will not let down the grace bestowed by His Majesty the Divine Lord, and will do more good deeds to benefit the people!"

A deep voice echoed in the river, and its sound spread over an area of ​​dozens of miles. Even at the port dock, the words of the Mingjiang River God could still be heard.

The next moment, the rich incense and faith gathered on the surface of the river, turning into a huge funnel and pouring into the body of the Mingjiang River God.

The thought of burning incense arose, and a small incense-burning divine domain was quietly opened up around the Mingjiang River God.

The Mingjiang River God, who originally had only a bit of the scent of incense, was successfully promoted to the fourth-level wild god under the favor of Shinto and stepped into the true Shinto level.

At this point, the Mingjiang River God completely broke through the shackles of the Jidu Dragon Palace and became the first water god on the Jishui River who was not restricted by the Jidu Dragon Palace.

When the Mingjiang River God woke up from the afterglow of his breakthrough, the huge ship in the distance had already sailed into the port.

The Mingjiang River God moved his huge body and bowed respectfully towards the pier.

Afterwards, the Mingjiang River God dived into the water and rushed towards Cangzhou, followed by aquatic creatures and surrounded by schools of fish.

Gong Buyu looked at everything in front of him. After a while, he said in a cold voice with a hint of curiosity:

"Master has given him divine favor. Does he think he can stand out and become the new Jidu Dragon King?"

Shen Yuan laughed in silence, shook his head slightly, turned and walked towards the room.

"Hundreds of millions of aquatic creatures are fighting for the divine way. The position of Jidu Dragon King cannot be determined by just a little favor from the divine way."

"Besides, it doesn't matter to me who can ascend to the position of Jidu Dragon Lord."

Gong Buyu couldn't help but ask, "But what if the real dragon of Jidu Dragon Palace sat on the throne of Jidu Dragon Lord and suppressed the Jishui Divine Road again?"

Shen Yuan paused for a moment, then said calmly:

"Then, cut it again."

It was already late at night when the ship docked at Yunzhou Pier. Shen Yuan and the other two got off the ship under the cover of the True Word Edict.

Standing on the dock, Xue Mingzhi bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan with an apologetic look on his face and said:

“This trip to the Dao Conference allowed me to meet the geniuses of various sects, which made me realize the shortcomings of my own cultivation and magical powers.

I decided to return to the imperial capital first to comprehend magical powers and spells, and look for an opportunity to break through the Qi training realm. After the breakthrough, I will go to Wencheng to meet the master. "

Hearing Xue Mingzhi's words, Shen Yuan's eyes showed some surprise.

Xue Mingzhi has been hiding in the room since he boarded the ship. Now it seems that he was struggling with this matter.

Shen Yuan naturally had no objection to Xue Mingzhi's sudden determination to become stronger. He smiled and praised:

"It's a good thing that you have such awareness. I look forward to the day when you break through the Qi training realm."

Upon hearing this, Xue Mingzhi bowed to Shen Yuan again, his eyes filled with complicated expressions.

With the help of the cup of spiritual tea given by Shen Yuan, Xue Mingzhi successfully broke through to the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. He was regarded as the top genius of the younger generation in the imperial capital, so naturally he was a bit arrogant.

But with this trip to the conference, Xue Mingzhi's arrogance was shattered.

Among the major sects present at the Dao Discussion Conference, there were quite a few young cultivators at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm, and among the cave heavens present, there were four geniuses at the Qi Training Realm.

Some of these sect monks have more than just cultivation skills, they have all cultivated magical powers to enter the realm, and the real strength they display in the arena is no less impressive.

Xue Mingzhi's peak Qi transformation realm is not the best. He has two extraordinary magical powers passed down by his family, but he has not even reached the initial stage of the realm and is far inferior to those disciples of the sect.

If Xue Mingzhi were to step onto the stage of the Dao Discussion Conference, he might not even be able to defeat those sects' late Qi Transformation Realm cultivators.

If it were just this, it would be fine, and Xue Mingzhi, who is lazy by nature, would not have suddenly woken up.

But the key point is that Gong Buyu, the disciple accepted by Shen Yuan, has shown an invincible style that dominates his peers and has already become one of the strongest people in the world. This makes Xue Mingzhi, who is determined to become Shen Yuan's disciple, clearly realize the gap between himself and others.

In addition, Xue Mingzhi encountered several crises at the conference, and although they were all easily resolved by Shen Yuan, it also made him think about what would happen in the future if Shen Yuan did not protect him?

After learning from his mistakes, Xue Mingzhi decided to return to the imperial capital and practice magic in seclusion.

During these days, the Xue family far away in the imperial capital had gained a lot of benefits because of the talent shown by Xue Mingzhi, and the Great Xia court was also willing to sponsor Xue Mingzhi, the newly rising prodigy of the imperial capital.

With the support of resources from the Great Xia court, and the fact that the tide of spiritual energy is returning more and more vigorously at this time, if one can seize the opportunity, he will have a chance to advance to the Qi training realm and become a true genius.

With such an obsession, Xue Mingzhi turned and walked away. Gong Buyu held Bai Xue in his arms, watching Xue Mingzhi's departing back, and suddenly whispered:

"He can break through the Qi training stage."

Shen Yuan looked at Gong Buyu curiously but did not deny the statement.

Xue Mingzhi himself has good talent, and after spending these days together, he has gained a certain understanding of the stage of drawing Qi into the body. With the help of certain resources, it is not difficult to complete the task of drawing Qi into the body.

“What he really needs is not a realm breakthrough, but a magical skill that suits him.

It seems that I should prepare some gifts for him when we meet next time."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan looked towards the direction of Wencheng.

This is the port terminal at the junction of Yunzhou and Cangzhou. It is still hundreds of kilometers away from Wencheng. There are not many transportation options available in the dead of night.

At this moment, Gong Buyu suddenly said:

"This place is only a few hundred kilometers away from Wencheng. My flying skills are definitely not as good as Master's, so I will go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of moonlight appeared in the night sky. Gong Buyu stepped on the silver-white moonlight and flew into the sky as if riding the moon. Then he quickly disappeared from Shen Yuan's sight.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked a bit troubled.

Whether going to Cangzhou or leaving the Dao Conference, Shen Yuan chose to travel by public transportation rather than mobilizing his Yuan Qi to fly in the air.

The biggest problem here is that Shen Yuan has not mastered any flying skills at all. The few small spells he has learned, such as controlling the wind, are still basic spells he found in the classics of the Tao Forum.

These methods may be enough to fool Xue Mingzhi, but they are not acceptable when facing Gong Buyu, who has the inheritance of Rong Cheng Dayutian.

Once exposed, it might even arouse Gong Buyu's suspicion.

After all, the inability to use magical powers such as space shifting can be attributed to the restrictions of the rules of this world that make it difficult to use.

But it would be too unreasonable if a supreme Taoist couldn't even master the method of flying.

“However, fortunately, I still gained a lot from the Dao Discussion Conference. I have entered the second level of the Disha Sword Technique, and can use the sword-qi fusion to transform it into a sword escape method.

I just haven’t tested it, so I don’t know what the speed is.”

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan simply stood where he was and began to try.

After a while, with the infusion of Yin Shen's power, the Huiming sword on Shen Yuan's waist made a soft hum.

Then a sword light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and Shen Yuan's body seemed to merge into the sword light and rushed straight into the sky.

Gong Buyu was flying above the clouds on the moonlight. The scenery in the sky was changing rapidly. Bai Xue in his arms curiously stretched out her claws and tried to explore the surrounding clouds.

The art of inviting the moon that Gong Buyu practiced was inherited from the art of taking the moon, which was one of the seventy-two earthly magical powers. It was also a well-known flying technique even in the world of cultivation.

When the idea of ​​using the flying technique to fly back to Wencheng was proposed, Gong Buyu did not have any extra thoughts, he just thought that it would be more convenient to fly back to Wencheng.

However, she had flown nearly a hundred kilometers, but her master did not catch up with her, which made Gong Buyu feel a little confused.

And at this moment, the sound of a sword chanting rang out above the clouds.

Gong Buyu subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a clear sword mark appearing in the dark night sky higher in the sky.

As the sword light like a dragon easily tore through the darkness, a huge crack spread rapidly forward.

Wherever the sword mark passed, the dark night sky turned into day, and the time that should have been late at night actually evolved into dawn.

That sword mark was like a messenger that drove away darkness and ushered in daylight, carrying the power to change the world and spread light to the mortal world.

Gong Buyu was stunned, and tried hard to catch up with the sword mark with the Inviting the Moon technique, but no matter how she mobilized her magic power, she was easily left behind. The sword mark that tore through the darkness spanned hundreds of miles and easily turned the celestial phenomena upside down.

On the earth, many creatures stared blankly at the scene before them.

They could not see the sword mark that cut through the darkness in the sky. In their eyes, the darkness seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand and turned into a clear sky in the daytime.

This is beyond their understanding and beyond their cognition.

This sword mark eventually spanned several cities and finally disappeared completely over Wencheng.

All the people in Wencheng looked up at the sky, and almost all of them could see the sky that was half dark and half white.

As the sword marks disappeared, darkness returned to the earth, but the strange phenomenon left behind caused a sensation throughout Yunzhou.

Gong Buyu looked at the sword mark that dissipated in the sky above Wencheng, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He quickly increased his speed and flew towards Wencheng.

The moonlight quietly dissipated over the old city. When Gong Buyu returned to the courtyard gate, Shen Yuan had already been there for a long time.

Gong Buyu looked at her master. For some reason, she seemed to feel that her master's face seemed a little paler than before, and her eyes were a little erratic.

Gong Buyu whispered, "What about the sword mark that just tore through the night sky?"

"Ahem, it's just a sword escape technique."

Shen Yuan waved his hands and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

It was also the first time that Shen Yuan used the sword escape method that combined sword and soul. His soul controlled the sword and his body combined with the soul of heaven and earth, Zhu Ming Chengye. The escape speed was indeed extremely terrifying, but the consumption of his magic power and soul was also astonishingly large.

But what Shen Yuan did not expect the most was that the sword mark left by the sword escape actually evolved into the rules of the Qi of heaven and earth, symbolizing the alternation of day and night.

Although it is not long, it spans hundreds of miles and is extremely powerful.

It was only after Shen Yuan flew back to Wencheng that he realized what kind of vision he had left behind.

Gong Buyu's red lips opened slightly, and her delicate little face was full of shock.

Although she already had some guesses in her mind, she was still shocked when she heard the truth from Shen Yuan.

Ten thousand years ago, there were indeed powerful monks who traveled and were accompanied by strange phenomena while flying. Even those who practiced the art of inviting the moon to the highest level could invoke the Guanghan Moon to bless themselves, but that was all based on a complete heaven and earth.

"The rules of this world are not yet complete, and a sword escape can produce such a miraculous scene. What will the scene be like when the spiritual energy tide is completely restored?"

Gong Buyu was about to continue asking questions, but Shen Yuan, feeling guilty, stepped directly into the secret courtyard.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, Shen Yuan mobilized the Hutian magical power, and the space was transformed back to the training room, leaving only a brief sentence.

"I'm going to stay in seclusion for a while."

Upon hearing this, Gong Buyu couldn't help but reveal disappointment on his face.

In the training room, Shen Yuan cast aside all those chaotic thoughts and looked at the words shining with golden light on the system interface.
