Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1441 - 607: Divining the Celestial Secret, Painting Grand Plans
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
In the scene, the Heavenly Spirit covers of the seven Demon Kings were opened, strands of life Essence Blood flowed along the altar’s pattern and converged onto a central altar.
Even more eerie was the appearance of the "Mountain and River Map" phantom on the altar.
"Exactly what is Profound Celestial plotting..."
Li Yunjing muttered to himself, "Didn’t he bring the ’Mountain and River Map’ to the front lines? What is this here? How is it connected?"
He was somewhat disoriented.
Really unable to decipher Profound Celestial’s intentions, nor did he know what the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" planned to do next!
"Senior, have you heard of any large numbers of cultivators disappearing within the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ territory over the past three years?"
After a long while, Li Yunjing suddenly raised his head and asked solemnly.
"How do you know?"
Yue Wuya’s pupils contracted: "Subsidiary sects have reported over a hundred cases, but all were suppressed..."
Yue Wuya’s beard trembled slightly, lowering his voice as he said, "Even odder is that most of the disappeared were Golden Core Cultivators, moreover..."
He suddenly conjured a soundproof spell, "All were people not on good terms with the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’..."
Li Yunjing, upon hearing this, cracked a fine line in the teacup he was holding with a "click."
He seemed to understand something!
"Have you heard of the legend of ’Blood Sacrifice to Patch the Heavens,’ Senior?"
Li Yunjing smeared his fingertips with tea, drawing a "Mountain and River Map" on the stone table.
Yue Wuya’s expression changed drastically, suddenly pressing his hand down: "Be cautious with your words! Such ancient forbidden techniques..."
Halfway through speaking, he abruptly fell silent, both sensing the restriction of the cave mansion being triggered.
The Everlasting Light on the stone wall suddenly flickered violently, the flame turning an uncanny shade of green.
The "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant" on Li Yunjing’s waist spontaneously floated, producing a "ding-dang ding-dang" sound.
"Oh no! It’s ’Celestial Secret Sensing’!"
Yue Wuya rapidly formed a spell, seven copper coins flew from his sleeve and arranged into a Big Dipper formation in the air, "They discovered we’re peering into the celestial secrets!"
"No worries! My ’Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant’ can disrupt the opponent’s Celestial Secret Master’s deductions!"
Li Yunjing suddenly exclaimed, "Profound Celestial is using the ’Mountain and River Map’ projection to suppress the earth vein; the real scroll is indeed at the front lines, but here..."
He pointed to the "Burial Island" on the map, "He is gaining mysterious power through sacrificial rites, transmitting the power remotely into the ’Mountain and River Map’ via the ’altar,’ thereby attacking our ’East Sea Alliance’!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Wuya’s face turned ashen, and the copper coins in his hand fell to the ground with a "ding-dang."
He trembled as he spoke: "No wonder the war report from the front said the ’Mountain and River Map’s’ power surged threefold compared to ancient records..."
"It’s not that the ’Mountain and River Map’s’ power surged threefold!"
Li Yunjing shook his head, explaining: "It’s that previously, the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ couldn’t activate it to the limit; even now, I suspect the ’Mountain and River Map’s’ power is still not at its peak."
"Is that so?"
Yue Wuya’s eyes widened, mumbling to himself.
He’s indeed a master, yet not one with top-tier inheritance; many deeper intricacies remain out of his reach.
Yue Wuya can access Tier Four magical treasures, even procure some ancient magical treasures, but Tier Five, even immortal artifact level treasures, are hard to access.
Such levels are too high.
Li Yunjing’s identity grants him knowledge of some related records, yet he hasn’t seen the three founding Big Killer Artifacts of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
"Profound Celestial requires live blood sacrifice to activate the forbidden technique, while maintaining the front line’s ’Mountain and River Map’s’ deterrence, necessitating a massive transfer hub."
Li Yunjing firmly pressed the edge of the "Mountain and River Map" phantom on the stone table with his fingertip, with the Everlasting Light casting a colder gleam in his eyes.
He tapped the mark for "No Edge Sect" on the map, "Have you ever thought, Senior, what will happen to the ’No Edge Sect’ once this undercover mission concludes?"
Yue Wuya’s entire body trembled, remaining tea splashing onto his lapel without him noticing.
As the founding ancestor of the "No Edge Sect," he knows full well the implications of betraying the "Celestial Net Dao Sect"!
This is what worries Yue Wuya the most: his sect, his disciples and grand-disciples, without emotion, how is that possible?
After hundreds of years of daily interaction, he’s filled with emotion for this sect he founded personally; it’s his spiritual solace.
He’s quite pleased at Ming Lingchuan’s delayed mission; he prefers maintaining the current situation, just living cautiously in the "Celestial Net Sea Region."
But Li Yunjing’s arrival dashed his hopes.
Ming Lingchuan once provided him great benefits, without which, even now, Yue Wuya couldn’t break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
His weakness is tightly held in Ming Lingchuan’s hand!
A single word from Ming Lingchuan can determine his life and death.
The dominance of "Celestial Net Dao Sect" won’t allow any spy to live!
He can only continue with Ming Lingchuan, with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," down to the abyss.
Now, Li Yunjing’s words imply a plan for the "No Edge Sect"?
This unconsciously raises a glimmer of hope in Yue Wuya’s heart.
Perhaps alongside task completion, there’s hope for "No Edge Sect" to relocate a major portion of its main force, to leave the "Celestial Net Sea Region" alive?
"Fellow Daoist Li, speak your mind straightforwardly!"
Yue Wuya spoke solemnly: "Not to deceive Fellow Daoist Li, these years I’ve painstakingly managed ’No Edge Sect’ and am filled with sentiment for this sect I established single-handedly! I hope you provide a reasonable plan."
"Indeed! I noticed!"
Li Yunjing revealed his gleaming white teeth, softly chuckling, "’No Edge Sect’ has developed nicely; it can return to the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ and become ’No Edge Peak,’ establishing its own hall!"
