Ming Lingchuan reveals a long-term plan spanning three hundred years to consolidate power and achieve Divinity Transformation. He instructs Li Yunjing to infiltrate the Wu Ya Sect and ally with other factions. Ming Lingchuan also reveals he manipulated the Taotie Race, all as part of his grand scheme. He then declares Li Yunjing to be the "Child of Fortune" destined to revive the Shenxiao Dao Sect, a revelation that profoundly impacts Li Yunjing.

"Uh..."

Li Yunjing’s old face flushed red; he had always thought he’d done this so cleanly that not even ghosts or gods would know!

He hadn’t expected that the big shots of the Sect already knew.

They had just chosen not to deal with him at the time, that was all!

And he’d even been secretly pleased with himself, thinking he’d covered it up.

Ming Lingchuan waved his wide sleeve and instant teleported with Li Yunjing to the "Shenxiao Grand Hall."

"Yunjing!"

Ming Lingchuan turned around before the Sect Leader’s throne. "On this trip to the East Sea, there are three things you must keep in mind."

"First, although Sect Leader Wu Ya is our Sect’s hidden agent, he cannot be fully trusted."

He raised his first finger. "Anything he gives you, you must test with your own wisdom."

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing nodded solemnly.

Ming Lingchuan raised his second finger. "Second, the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s Mountain and River Map has undergone an abnormal change. If you encounter it, retreat at once, do not try to match it head-on."

Finally, as he raised his third finger, lightning and thunder suddenly erupted outside the hall. "Third, for any operation behind enemy lines, regardless of success or failure, you must withdraw immediately!"

"Disciple understands!"

Li Yunjing pledged in a deep voice.

"Mm! Do you have any other questions? If not, you can return to the East Sea."

Ming Lingchuan asked with a smile.

"Disciple does have some doubts, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask?"

A thought stirred in Li Yunjing’s heart; he’d just thought of a question.

"Ask."

Ming Lingchuan smiled and sat down on the throne. "You are now part of the core leadership. There are not many things that need be hidden from you."

"Then disciple will ask."

Li Yunjing said, "The Celestial Net Dao Sect has a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse. Does our Shenxiao Dao Sect have a powerhouse of that level?"

The Divinity Transformation Realm was a pillar that held up the sky!

Li Yunjing was very curious whether the Sect had someone capable of turning the tide!

When Ming Lingchuan heard this, a trace of profound light flashed in his eyes.

He lifted his hand and laid down a soundproof barrier; the entire great hall was instantly isolated from the Outer World.

"Yunjing, do you know why our Sect has been able to stand in the Southern Heaven Continent for hundreds of thousands of years without falling?"

Ming Lingchuan’s voice suddenly turned ethereal. "Because we do indeed have a Divinity Transformation True Monarch sitting in town, it’s just that..."

A Jade Talisman flew out from his sleeve and projected an image in the air.

An old man with white hair hung suspended in the Void with eyes closed, a decaying aura coiling around him.

"The Supreme Elder is advanced in years and can no longer casually make a move."

Ming Lingchuan sighed. "This is also why I am so anxious to set up my arrangements! Before the Supreme Elder falls, we must cultivate new Divinity Transformation Combat Power for the Sect."

Standing within the Shenxiao Grand Hall, Li Yunjing stared fixedly at the white-haired elder in the projection, and feeling the decay pervading that scene, his heart couldn’t help but sink.

So the pillar holding up the Sect had already reached the point of oil exhausted and lamp dried; no wonder the Sect Leader Venerable was laying out plans so urgently.

"Disciple will definitely not fail the Sect Leader’s great trust, and will exhaust all efforts to complete the mission!"

Li Yunjing said solemnly, a resolute light flashing through his eyes.

Ming Lingchuan nodded in satisfaction and waved away the barrier.

"Go, and be careful in all things."

Ming Lingchuan exhorted, "Remember, your safety is what matters most."

Li Yunjing took his leave of Ming Lingchuan and returned to his own "Qiuwu Manor," beginning to prepare to head for the East Sea.

He carefully inspected the resources he was carrying, re-arranged them according to Array Principle, and then ran through the "Celestial Thunder Stone Mountain" in his mind several times, ensuring that nothing could go wrong.

Lastly, he glanced at Little Yellow.

The little thing’s cultivation had risen a bit again.

Li Yunjing thought it over; having such a ferocious raptor just sit at home guarding the place really wasn’t appropriate.

He decided to bring Little Yellow along and let it temper itself in the East Sea.

Seeing its master willing to take it out, the little fellow flew all over the place in excitement, chirping non-stop to express its joy.

"Heh heh! This little guy’s been pent up for too long."

Li Yunjing shook his head; taking the little fellow with him, he stepped onto the Teleportation Array bound for the East Sea.

This time the mission was critical. After returning home, he hadn’t even gone to see Yu Yunyi or Lv Ruoxi, leaving in a great rush.

"Sigh..."

This left Li Yunjing a bit guilty.

As the light flashed, he felt the world spin; when he reopened his eyes, he was already on "Shenxiao Island" of the East Sea.

The air on the island carried the salty, damp scent of sea wind, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore rolled over from the distance.

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, feeling himself tense up again.

"Vice Sect Leader Li!"

A gatekeeping Disciple hurried over. "Five Elements Master instructed that you are to go to the forward camp immediately upon arrival."

Previously, when Li Yunjing went to the "Youlan Mountain Range," Five Elements Master, worried about the situation at the front, had already returned to the East Sea.

The fellow Sect Disciple guarding the Teleportation Array saw that Li Yunjing had returned and immediately conveyed Five Elements Master’s intentions to him.

"How is the situation at the front?"

Li Yunjing’s brows knit slightly as he asked in a deep voice.

"Not good at all!"

The Disciple lowered his voice. "The Celestial Net Dao Sect launched a sudden assault yesterday and has already broken through the Sea Region in front. They’re now only one Sea Region away from the Holy Sound Sea Region."

He swallowed hard. "The day of decisive battle is almost here."

Hearing this, Li Yunjing’s expression immediately turned grave.

He waved his hand and summoned the "Celestial Patrol Ship," turning into a streak of flowing light as he boarded the warship, preparing to rush to the front line.

Little Yellow flapped its wings and followed close behind; its keen instincts had also picked up on the tense atmosphere.

A day later, pushing himself hard, Li Yunjing finally arrived at the forward "Holy Sound Island."

In the main camp, Five Elements Master was seated around a sand table with several Nascent Soul Cultivators, their faces dark.

Seeing Li Yunjing come in, Five Elements Master immediately stood up. "Yunjing, you’ve come at just the right time!"

On the sand table, the blue flags representing the Celestial Net Dao Sect had already pressed up to the area of the Holy Sound Sea Region.

Five Elements Master pointed to one spot. "By relying on the might of the Mountain and River Map, those resisting forces have lost the will to fight. They’ve swept through all enemies with almost crushing momentum."
