Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

In such a situation, when Mi Han and the others suddenly face an anomaly like Lei Jun, quickly injuring them greatly affects their teleportation speed, making it too late to escape when they try.

This might not be as bad as facing a Ninth Heavenly Layer master directly.

At least that way, they wouldn’t misjudge and could escape immediately.

"Actually, it’s quite difficult. If Xuanxiao Zi is in the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm, then he has cultivated the Great Vehicle Daoist Sight." Ye Song lamented.

Chu Pu looked down at the report handed over by Crown Prince Zhang Hui, reading as he said: "It’s hard to say for the others, but for Eighth Heavenly Layer martial artists, especially those in the Eightfold Heaven Perfect Realm, they can fully escape the capture and seize of the Great Vehicle Daoist Sight if they flee immediately, but..."

Ye Song replied: "However, if Xuanxiao Zi has indeed cultivated the Ninth Heavenly Layer, he is probably incredibly hard to fathom."

Even when he was in the Eighth Heavenly Layer realm, he was already such a monstrous being...

"If he specializes in Corporeal Life Mastery, having skills that rival or outmatch most martial arts experts in the same realm, he is already an anomaly, making one inevitably speculate if he comes from a special background, just like his master."

Chu Pu set down the report: "But while his Corporeal Life Mastery is so strong, he can still excel in Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire; how is he achieving this?"

"I am also very curious about how this Celestial Master Lei manages it."

At this point, Crown Prince Zhang Hui spoke: "However, this Celestial Master Lei indeed possesses such strength; it’s indisputably true. One can only say he is a Heavenly Talent with hidden capabilities."

Chu Pu and Ye Song remained silent.

At first, there might have been errors in the report, or someone might have lied.

But combined with Lei Jun’s past experiences, it can be confirmed that he truly has this capability.

"It’s also good to let those foreign tribe fighters test his edge first." Ye Song remarked.

Chu Pu pondered for a moment, then sighed lightly: "A master with such strength, even if we know his methods in advance, is still hard to deal with..."

Ye Song nodded gently.

He looked at Zhang Hui.

The Crown Prince of Great Tang picked up the report again, studying it closely.

.....

The border between Cangzhou and Qingzhou.

In an unremarkable mountain pavilion, two people stood side by side, gazing into the distance.

"Brother, have you been well recently?" asked Ye Yan, the Clan Chief of Qingzhou Ye Clan.

The elderly man standing with him was none other than Ye Moquan of Cangzhou Ye Clan.

The previous incident of Jiuli experts attacking the Ye Clan Ancestral Land in Cangzhou made it widely known that after the battle in Jinzhou, Ye Moquan’s health might not be perfect and he may not have fully recovered from injuries.

Ye Moquan did not deny this but did not elaborate on the details:

"Better than before, Chiyuan has been thoughtful. At this age, I have to accept that I cannot resist aging."

Ye Yan: "The world changes constantly, sometimes good, sometimes bad, brother, be at ease."

Ye Moquan smiled: "Indeed, it’s now the world of young people. This time, the second invasion by the Solitary Eagle Khanate was quickly repelled, further proving this point."

Ye Yan nodded lightly.

Just like Fang Hezhou inviting Guo Yuan and Guo Yuan responding immediately.

After hearing detailed reports on the Northwestern battle, the two major leaders of Cangzhou Ye Clan and Qingzhou Ye Clan finally met up again.

"Xuanxiao Zi Lei Chongyun... truly deep clouds locked away, and hidden capabilities unleashed, upon revealing, even the heavens tremble."

Ye Yan admitted he was just as shocked as Ye Cheng and Ye Song when he first saw the Northwestern war report.

Tang Xiaotang’s killing of the Ninefold Sky Great Demon Long Sky Gray Wolf was certainly remarkable but somewhat within everyone’s understanding.

Lei Jun defeating four opponents alone, repelling Mi Han and even killing one or two, wouldn’t be so difficult to accept.

But now, it is shocking and seems inconceivable.

"Previously, due to Xu Yuanzhen, I might have underestimated the role Lei Chongyun played in the fall of Huang Xuanpu." Ye Yan said.

Ye Moquan nodded lightly: "In the Northwest, facing four opponents, just this one battle, he surpasses Li Yang, Li Bai, and Li Qingfeng, and with his rapid advancement in cultivation, surpassing Li Zhiyuan is surely imminent."

He turned to Ye Yan: "In the past, when the Middle People of Heavenly Principle False Ming entered the East Sea, was there a Neo-Confucianism ritual that trapped Lei Chongyun for quite some time?"

Ye Yan: "Indeed, in recent years, Qingzhou, along with Suzhou and Jingxiang, have often studied this."

As time progresses, Lei Jun’s cultivation realm and supernatural powers grow stronger and stronger, encountering the same ritual again, Ye Yan and others do not expect it to pose a challenge to him.

The Neo-Confucian masters of Qingzhou and other regions are also continuously improving and innovating, aiming to make the ritual’s power stronger, to better deal with the growing strength of Celestial Master Lei.

Considerable progress has been made, but without actual attempts, no one dares to guarantee it will work.

"If convenient, old man and Yujing can also lend a small hand." Ye Moquan said.

Ye Yan: "Brother’s help would be deeply appreciated."

Although in many aspects there are conflicting demands, sometimes irreconcilable.

But on the current issue, it does not hinder several noble clans from working together.

Just like when that "Barbarian" Martial Arts realm first appeared, it became a common enemy for everyone.

If not resolved quickly, should the Solitary Eagle Khanate truly invade the Great Tang Realm now, Ye Cheng, Fang Zhu, and others would have no choice but to retreat.

Now, everyone faces the same challenge again.

"Although there has been some progress currently, that Taoist Xuanxiao Zi is not someone stagnating." Ye Yan said solemnly.

On the contrary, the other’s progress is astonishingly rapid.

So rapid that the Nine Heavens Great Confucian Ye Yan feels the footsteps drawing ever closer from behind.

"Rowing against the current, if you do not advance, you fall behind. The current situation for us is like a dull knife cutting flesh and a slow flame searing the heart."
