Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 385 - 222. Lei Jun: I gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

"Dragon Tiger Talisman, All Laws Return to the Origin."

Lei Jun studied the profound symbols intently, as if gaining some insight.

The Celestial Master Robe and the Celestial Master Seal both had the critical responsibility of supporting the Dragon Tiger Mountain heritage.

Through the Dragon Tiger Talisman, one could roughly deduce the Basic Spiritual Talisman Scripture and High-grade Spiritual Talisman Scripture inherited from the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion.

Owing to the unique movement technique and the Altar of Wanfa Sect at the Ancestral Courtyard of the Sect, it wouldn’t be truly leaked even if it fell into others’ hands. However, it could potentially facilitate their research into countermeasures.

Now that it was reclaimed by Lei Jun, such future troubles could be avoided.

Having practiced these two secret transmissions himself, Lei Jun could dismiss them from personal consideration.

But with the enhancement of the Dragon-Tiger Talisman, Lei Jun’s creation of various Spirit Talismans hereafter would be much more effective, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

However, what had a greater personal impact on Lei Jun currently was a different matter. Although he couldn’t pinpoint the location of the Celestial Master Robe, he could inversely channel some of its power. This allowed him to manifest the Nine Lights of True Qi, also known as the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights.

With the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights protecting him, he would have an extraordinary defensive capability.

With the aid of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, Lei Jun gained a significant layer of protection for himself.

This was true for his current cultivation in the Middle Three Heavens. Even when he reached the Upper Three Heavens, the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights would remain an extremely important protective force.

Because it was still incomplete, its duration might be inferior to the Breathing Soil Banner. However, its defensive power could exceed the banner’s in the short term.

In combination, the two complemented each other.

Lei Jun was not complacent about this; instead, his thoughts soared in another direction, Under the condition of maintaining secrecy, one could use the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, which emerged from the Celestial Master Robe, to confuse and mislead outsiders... For example, by pretending that someone else had obtained the Celestial Master Robe and then acting accordingly. This could achieve a deceptive switch... Hmm, for now, these thoughts are too far-fetched... Lei Jun shook his head slightly, gathering his scattered thoughts.

He attempted to contact his master, Yuan Moba.

But there was no response.

It didn’t seem to be an interception of communication by others, nor was it like the situation when Yuan Moba had previously entered the Jiuli sacred ground.

It was more like Yuan Moba himself had temporarily cut off the use of the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman.

Although uncommon, this was not particularly surprising and was considered a special feature when the direct descendants of the Celestial Master Mansion used the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman.

Generally, it meant that the current environment was special, used to hide one’s whereabouts, or to avoid being disturbed during focused seclusion.

In Lei Jun’s previous experience on Blue Star, it was akin to going "mute" on purpose.

It seemed that Yuan Moba was in a situation not conducive to using things like the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman.

Lei Jun put away the Spirit Talisman in his hand.

In such a situation, he naturally wouldn’t forcibly trigger his master’s Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, in case it spoiled Yuan Moba’s plans.

After a brief contemplation, Lei Jun left the True One Altar Cave Heaven, then stimulated the spiritual power of the Teng Snake Bone, took up the Breathing Soil Banner, and quietly vanished from the spot, leaving the area.

The situation at Sleeping Dragon Lake had now turned into a battlefield far more tragic than that at Zhu’an Mountain.

The scale of the battle and the number of experts involved were immense. It surpassed both the previous battle involving Li Wai of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the conflict between the Celestial Master’s Mansion and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan at Poyang Lake.

In recent years, perhaps only the cataclysms from demon incursions in the Western Regions, the East Sea, and the Northern Border could compare to the current battle at Sleeping Dragon Lake in the Southern Wildernes Lands.

The vast lakes had been completely evaporated, with no trace of shimmering waves to be seen. The parched lake bed was further ravaged, the earth ripped open and cracked. The surrounding watercourses were all twisted, either cut off or overflowing. The nearby mountains crumbled in sections, and the lush forests of the Southern Wildernes Lands appeared withered, as if their life force had been sucked dry by an invisible terror.

A gigantic Ghost God Sacrificial Array spanned a wide area. However, the array patterns were damaged.

A Blood Sea covered the sky, dyeing the entire horizon red. It hung inverted, oppressing minds and spirits, nearly inducing suffocation and madness. If not for strands of eerie black mist spiraling upwards, the Ghost God Sacrificial Array would undoubtedly have been unable to maintain its current scale against this overwhelming Blood Sea. This strange black mist, as it ascended, seemed to exist in another dimension, preventing the Blood Sea from polluting or engulfing the mist itself for the time being. However, the Blood Sea’s power was immense; though hindered by the black mist, it still dominated the overall situation. Blood rained down relentlessly, forming a torrential downpour that battered the Ghost God Sacrificial Array below, causing more and more flaws to appear in it.

As the Blood Sea and the Ghost God Sacrificial Array clashed and twisted space-time, the surrounding landscape was continually affected.

It was not like the direct destruction witnessed earlier. Now, the ravaged landscape silently turned ashen and colorless, as if the mountains themselves had life but were heading towards extinction. Whether it was the living vegetation or the hard rocks, at this moment, they all appeared as if eroded, silently turning into ash and then dissipating without a trace.

Wei Ancheng, the Sect Leader of the Blood River Sect from the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

Sang Lu, the Holy Master of Gepo Mountain from the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Feng Gui, the Holy Master of the Samsara Abyss from the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

When the leaders of the three major powerhouses of the Witchcraft Sect in the Southern Wildernes clashed, the scene was both magnificent and eerie.

For Sang Lu, the good news was that Feng Gui arrived earlier and faster than expected: earlier than her entanglement by Yuan Shanji and Xiong Gang at Sleeping Dragon Lake, and even before Wei Ancheng had left the Yintuo Mountain Sacred Land!

His arrival was earlier than expected by Sang Lu and her allies, and also by their opponents. As a result, Feng Gui not only avoided being intercepted mid-way by the Blood River Sect but also timely supported Sang Lu.

But the bad news was, the enemy’s approach was even more ferocious. Sang Lu and Feng Gui’s cultivation strengths were both above those of Ye Han and Gao Pu.
