Compared to the completely incomprehensible Fang Cun Secret Realm before, at least there is a solution to the problem at hand.
The simplest method is to wait until this world is strong enough to bear the coming of a true spirit refiner, and then guide the true spirit refiners from the various cave heavens to join the game.
The advantage of doing this is that it is the safest and most effective, but the disadvantage is that it takes a certain amount of time. With the current recovery speed of the rules of heaven and earth, it will take at least a year for the True God of Refining to be born.
This is naturally nothing for other powerful gods, but it is too long for Shen Yuan.
“And even if the Soul Refining Master walks in the world, how to trick them into the Fang Cun Secret Realm is also a big problem.
After tens of thousands of years of spiritual energy tide, even in the blessed land that once dominated the Xuanhuang world, there are only a few true spirit cultivators left.
It is definitely not an easy task to trick these soul-refining masters who suppress the sect’s foundation into coming in.”
Shen Yuan's eyes were thoughtful. He took a step forward and the space in front of him changed, returning to the secret realm of the courtyard.
The small secret realm that originally looked like a deep black hole now had colorful colors symbolizing order and rules, and the chaotic power gradually returned to order.
Shen Yuan slowly raised his right hand, and with a wave of his sleeve, he incorporated the square inch secret realm into the space in his sleeve. The world with a radius of dozens of kilometers replaced the original space in his sleeve.
After this lower-level magical power created by Shen Yuan himself was integrated into the Fangcun Secret Realm, it finally gained the ability to attack.
The original space in the sleeve was only used by Shen Yuan as a magical power to temporarily suppress and store some things. In this process, the other party must not resist at all, otherwise it would be difficult to store the things in it.
It can be said that apart from its ability to store things, there is no other highlight.
But now, with the integration of Fang Cun Secret Realm, and with the help of Fang Cun Secret Realm's status comparable to a small world, even a real person of spirit refining can be easily taken in, and suppressed with the four Qi of heaven and earth born from the opening up of the small world.
"After this modification, this magical power has acquired a bit of the flavor of hidden secrets.
However, the small world-level space in the sleeve is still too fragile after all. The sleeve's all-encompassing universe is no longer limited to the space world. If you want to truly control a trace of the charm, you may have to practice the Hutian magic to the fifth level. "
Shen Yuan said to himself with some regret: "But for now, it is enough."
Opening up the Fangcun Secret Realm consumed a great deal of Shen Yuan's energy. Unable to resolve the matter of the Spirit Refining Immortal in a short period of time, Shen Yuan also gave up on completing the main task in one go.
Shen Yuan waved his hand to disperse the Yuan Qi and spatial fluctuations gathered in the secret realm of the courtyard. He looked around the deserted courtyard and felt a little surprised.
"Three days have passed, and Buyu hasn't returned calmly into Dayutian?"
Normally, it wouldn't take so much time just to obtain the magical power of Taiyin.
Starlight was flowing in his eyes, and with his magical power of counting stars, the stars in the secret courtyard turned into a chessboard to interpret all things. In the direction where Rong Cheng Dayutian was, a cold moon was gradually condensing, and its aura was becoming more ethereal and unpredictable.
"Has the Way of Taiyin made further progress?"
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Shen Yuan's eyes.
It doesn't take time to obtain the magical power, but judging from the current situation, it seems that Junior Brother Gong has prepared other treasures for Gong Buyu.
Anything that can enable Gong Buyu, who has reached the state of spiritual transformation, to make further progress in the way of Taiyin is definitely not an ordinary thing from the lower realm.
Especially since the properties were so compatible, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of the source of the moon-taking magical power.
“The treasure that Junior Brother Gong gave to Buyu might be related to Guanghan Palace that has disappeared in history.”
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but be a little shocked:
"As expected of the top second generation immortals in Xuanhuang Realm, I'm afraid the saint sons and saint daughters of the cave heaven holy lands don't have this kind of treatment."
This is indeed the case. The foundation of the Dongtian Holy Land is far stronger than that of Rongcheng Dayutian, but there are many factions within it, as well as many Taoist monarchs and immortal ancestors.
In this situation, it is impossible to devote all the resources of the entire Dongtian Holy Land to train a holy son or daughter.
On the contrary, Rongcheng Dayutian has long been the one with the final say by Patriarch Gong, and he is also a great figure in the fairyland who has existed for thousands of years. In addition, Gong Buyu is his legitimate daughter, the future pillar of Rongcheng Dayutian, so naturally he will do his best to cultivate her.
"It looks like it will take some time for Buyu to come back, and as for that little Bai Xue, I don't know where she ran off to.
Even if one's cultivation reaches the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it is still the upper limit of the present world, and further seclusion will be of no use.
Going out for a trip? Or...”
As his thoughts flowed, the space in Shen Yuan's hand twisted slightly, and a Tianyuan secret order appeared in his hand.
This was the second Tianyuan secret order that Shen Yuan had obtained after completing the trial in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. It was also his second chance to go back ten thousand years.
The last time Shen Yuan returned to Wanzai, he participated in the trial of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, leaving behind a Wanzai legend. Many of the causes and effects in it have affected the present world across Wanzai.
Various causes and effects eventually led Shen Yuan to intervene in the chaos in the underworld to suppress the Ten Yama Kings, from which he gained unimaginable huge benefits.
And in this process, Shen Yuan also discovered the various arrangements he had made thousands of years ago.
The Ox Head, the King of Five Senses, and the Fengdu Emperor's Seal. These are all suspected to be related to himself, which makes Shen Yuan even more interested in what happened ten thousand years ago.
Shen Yuan's eyes were hesitant, and he was carefully thinking whether he should use the Tianyuan secret order at this time.
For a long time before, Shen Yuan did not consider using the Tianyuan Secret Order again, because he knew very well that the Tianyuan Secret Order was an opportunity, but also implied huge risks.
In the current Xuanhuang Realm, apart from the old monsters in the paradise, there are very few who can threaten Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan can almost do whatever he wants.
But if we go back to the heyday of cultivation ten thousand years ago, the Xuanhuang Realm was prosperous and the major caves and blessed lands were full of powerful people. Even the Taoist Master Hedao and the immortal immortal could walk around the world at will.
In such a prosperous era, if an accident happened, Shen Yuan would have difficulty protecting himself.
Even the connection between Heaven and Hell and the Xuanhuang Realm has not been severed, and the great celestial immortals, the Hunyuan golden immortals, and even the Daluo Emperor can take action against the Xuanhuang Realm.
Shen Yuan possesses many magical powers, if he rashly returns to ten thousand years ago, his unique characteristics in this world and among all the worlds will be enough to have a huge impact on ten thousand years ago.
The Donghua Emperor who was behind the magical power of exorcising gods, the Taishan Lord who was behind the magical power of communicating with the netherworlds, and a Taoist deity who once possessed the magical power of nine breaths to subdue the qi, almost encompass the three most influential and powerful forces in the heavens: heaven, underworld, and Taoism.
Because the Taoist Tianzun's Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi supernatural power is unique in the world, the relevant information was erased when Shen Yuan regained control of the supernatural power, so the influence it brought was relatively small.
But Emperor Donghua and Lord Taishan are the real Daluo Emperors.
“Last time, we had the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and Zhenlong Small World as a cover, and the first time we came, Emperor Donghua didn’t notice it, so he used it to bully others.
If it descends again, without the influence of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and the Zhenlong Small World, it is hard to say what kind of changes it will bring."
With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan reached out and stroked the Tianyuan Secret Order, thinking about the possible dangers and opportunities he might encounter.
Just as Shen Yuan was deep in thought, a beam of light landed silently in front of the courtyard gate. When the light dissipated, Xue Mingzhi revealed his figure.
Three months later, Xue Mingzhi has successfully entered the middle stage of Qi training, and his temperament has changed significantly. Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Xue Mingzhi's eyes were a little apprehensive.
Three months ago, he was instructed by Shen Yuan to seek help from various major caves and blessed places, but was delayed for several days because of Patriarch Gong's retreat. By the time Patriarch Gong woke up, the chaos in the underworld had already been quelled.
This result made Xue Mingzhi feel very guilty. He was ready to return to Beimang Mountain to apologize to Shen Yuan, but was stopped by Patriarch Gong.
Patriarch Gong believed that the matter of the underworld had been settled. Although there were mistakes, the responsibility did not lie with Xue Mingzhi but with Patriarch Gong himself. So he passed down several magical powers and a magical treasure as compensation.
During this process, the oldest ancestor of Rongcheng Dayutian asked Xue Mingzhi a lot about Gong Buyu and Shen Yuan.
Unable to withstand the temptation of Lingbao's magical power, Xue Mingzhi selected some unimportant ones and told them to Patriarch Gong.
But even so, Patriarch Gong was already quite satisfied.
After staying in Rongcheng Dayutian for half a month, Xue Mingzhi rushed back to the secret courtyard and learned from Bai Xue that Shen Yuan and Gong Buyu were in seclusion.
Over the next two months, Xue Mingzhi came from the imperial capital to visit every week, but was unable to enter the secret courtyard.
In addition to his own wishes, this visit today was also carried out on the basis of an order from Emperor Xia.
Standing in front of the simple wooden door, Xue Mingzhi straightened his posture and said respectfully:
"Disciple Xue Mingzhi, requesting to see Mr. Shen!"
In the secret realm of the courtyard, Shen Yuan, who was stroking the Tianyuan secret order, was stunned and looked outside the door, with a smile on his face.
Shen Yuan put away the Tianyuan secret order and temporarily put his mind aside, preparing to find a way to reduce the risk before heading to Wanzai.
The door to the secret courtyard slowly opened, and the space inside was also opened to Xue Mingzhi at this moment.
"Come in!"
Shen Yuan said casually.
Xue Mingzhi looked delighted when he heard this and quickly walked into the secret courtyard.
Even though it was not his first time to step into the secret realm, Xue Mingzhi was still astonished by the magnificent starry sky and the magical world that was played out in this small world.
Especially after entering the famous Rongcheng Dayutian, Xue Mingzhi's amazement not only did not decrease, but gradually increased.
Rongcheng Dayutian is indeed extremely vast, but whether it is the concentration of spiritual energy or the unchanging sky, it is far inferior to this secret courtyard.
“I heard that Patriarch Gong once said that the Luoyun Sect has mastered the great way of earthly immortals, and Mr. Shen, as the supreme Taoist of the Luoyun Sect, has been studying this way for thousands of years.
It is precisely because of this that this small courtyard is qualified to be called a small paradise."
Feeling more and more impressed, Xue Mingzhi quickly walked into the courtyard and saw Shen Yuan sitting under the jujube tree.
He quickly stepped forward to pay his respects. Xue Mingzhi's manner was impeccable:
"Xue Mingzhi meets sir!"
Shen Yuan looked up and down at Xue Mingzhi with a smile on his face, and said with interest:
"It seems that my Junior Brother Gong has offered quite a lot of benefits."
Xue Mingzhi's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Sir, it was my fault that I went to Rongcheng Dayutian to deliver the message, which delayed your plan."
Shen Yuan placed his right hand on the stone table and rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "It's just a small matter, why are you so panicked?
You have done your part, and it is your chance to get something from my Junior Brother Gong, so why would I care about anything?"
Shen Yuan's words immediately made Xue Mingzhi feel much more at ease.
"Tell me, this time you came to see me it should be more than just a simple visit to me.
I see some strong cause and effect in you."
Shen Yuan spoke softly, with a barely perceptible hint of strangeness in his eyes.
If we count the times recently, Shen Yuan left the secret courtyard several times, and they were all related to Xue Mingzhi.
At first, Shen Yuan only thought that Xue Mingzhi knew a lot of information and could always provide Shen Yuan with the information he needed, which led to this situation.
Now that Shen Yuan has achieved the status of Yang God, and his astrological power has entered the third realm, when he looks at Xue Mingzhi again, he can vaguely feel some traces of cause and effect.
This trace was not the result of human interference, but came from the influence of the will of heaven and earth, which made Shen Yuan couldn't help but have some guesses.
"The will of heaven and earth in Xuanhuang Realm has noticed that I am an alien, and wants to use Xue Mingzhi's influence to let me solve some problems involving Xuanhuang Realm?
The chaos in the underworld caused by the invasion of the Ten Kings of Hell, as well as the strange aura in the eighteen levels of hell, are all related to the safety of the Xuanhuang Realm itself."
Shen Yuan had some enlightenment in his mind.
The will of heaven and earth does not possess the emotions of any living being. It only acts according to its instincts and eliminates any possible harm. Influencing Xue Mingzhi is also one of its instincts.
Shen Yuan was not dissatisfied with such things. After all, he was just passing on information through Xue Mingzhi, and the final choice was still in his hands.
Moreover, this discovery also made Shen Yuan realize an opportunity, an opportunity to establish a connection with the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm.
When the Xuanhuang Realm was at its peak, it was the Great Thousand World, with hundreds of Middle Thousand and Small Thousand Worlds attached to it, and even more small worlds. In terms of status alone, it was almost comparable to the Daluo Emperor.
If Shen Yuan wanted to establish contact with the Xuanhuang Realm ten thousand years ago, it would undoubtedly be wishful thinking.
But now that the Xuanhuang Realm has been connected to heaven and earth for ten thousand years, Shen Yuan might not be without a chance.
As long as he could establish contact with the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm and go back to ten thousand years ago and use the will of heaven and earth to help cover his tracks, even if Emperor Donghua noticed something, he might not be able to find Shen Yuan.
Just when Shen Yuan was already thinking about it, Xue Mingzhi finally spoke:
"Sir, you are really good at predicting things. I came here for other things besides visiting you."
After a slight pause, Xue Mingzhi showed a complicated expression on his face and said:
"Three days ago, Emperor Xia sent an edict to the Xue family, ordering me to come and invite you to participate in the grand event in ten days."
“Daxia has formed an alliance with the underworld and wants to invite the ten sacred caves, thirty-six caves, and seventy-two blessed places to the imperial capital to watch the ceremony.
Daxia wants to re-establish the city gods, and use the incense and fire gods as the thread to connect the incense and fire domains of various states, so as to regain control of the world!"
