Chapter 730: Canglang River

Since the appearance of the Celestial Tree, the Wutu Continent has had a rare opportunity to rest and recuperate. With the land area having expanded more than twice, it welcomed a surge in population from many Little Thousand Worlds. Numerous places quickly gathered vitality and gradually prospered.

Surprisingly, after the demonic creatures and spirits were vanquished, the land was infused with vibrant life. Spiritual flowers and extraordinary herbs grew wildly, and spiritual beasts multiplied in large numbers. The environment became very favorable for practitioners.

It is worth mentioning that in the original Little Thousand Worlds, many practitioners remained stuck in the All-Manifestation Realm for years due to the constraints of heaven and earth. Now that they have merged into the Great Thousand Worlds, they immediately gained opportunities to face tribulations and upgrade, bringing a large number of Profound Law Stage Practitioners into existence. As long as their subsequent cultivation methods connect properly, they will surely be able to soar through the skies given time.

Previously, it was equally difficult for practitioners on the Wutu Continent to advance to the Profound Law Stage. Now, after incorporating the Little Thousand Worlds, it seems the layout of the skies above them has elevated, making breakthroughs easier.

All these changes were undeniably progressing in a positive direction, especially since the Heavenly Talisman Sect opened its gates, allowing practitioners to freely enter to gather spirit fruits and read scriptures. This has stirred up a tremendous wave in the Wutu Continent.

This sect is admirable, showing no sign of cherishing their own defects. They offer significant help to those aspiring to learn talisman methods.

Some practitioners who entered the Heavenly Talisman Sect became particularly greedy, wanting everything and wishing to learn everything. The disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Sect only occasionally came out to warn them but did not reclaim the “harvest” of these practitioners, inadvertently fostering a corrupt atmosphere.

However, as time passed, everyone realized that these evildoers were bound to meet a bad end. As soon as they left the Heavenly Talisman Sect, they would inevitably encounter various misfortunes.

This situation grew increasingly common, alerting practitioners to the danger. High-level demon cultivators from Daxia shared words, warning that greedy practitioners would lose all their blessed fortunes and lifespans, that even luck-bringers would be stripped of their good fortune if they were too greedy.

From then on, outer practitioners regarded the Heavenly Talisman Sect with both respect and fear, no longer daring to act recklessly, instead becoming more compliant.

With such practices from the Heavenly Talisman Sect, a group of practitioners skilled in talisman methods quickly emerged. They used talismans to stimulate their potential and set up treasure cabinets based on their circumstances, only to be amazed to discover that within just a few months, the results they achieved surpassed what they had accomplished in the past ten or even twenty years.

Of course, the initial phase of talismans piercing acupoints and adjusting the body is the fastest stage of improvement.

Li Hui had once taken many detours, but now he eliminated barriers and taught, bringing many tangible benefits to Wutu practitioners. Thus, he constantly received the support of fortune, establishing himself in virtue, words, and character!

Recently, a significant event occurred: a magnificent city flew in from overseas and landed near the Heavenly Talisman Sect. It became uncertain whether this was true, but rumors spread that many Miao Jade veins appeared nearby, and even mountain rivers slowly changed direction. The dragon veins even shifted slightly, creating a pattern of countless sects converging around this city.

Li Hui returned with Mufeng City. The Wutu Continent is his old nest, and its support for him has reached an unparalleled level.

The moment his Yang God returned to his body, a thunderous sound erupted above his head, presenting a grand pillar of energy. Taibai, Tai Zi, Tai Qing, and Tai Hong shone brilliantly, signifying immense fortune, with an energy that could even influence celestial phenomena.

“Whew…” He sighed in relief, feeling that home was still the most comfortable. After previously battling Master Ji, both sides were injured, and he worried about whether he could recover. Now, upon further sensing, he discovered he could heal from even the heaviest injuries, and the lost lifespan could be gradually replenished.

Zhong Yuan and Jin Feng entered, feeling the immense fortune descending, knowing their Master had returned.

Zhong Yuan, the eldest disciple, was slightly older than Li Hui, yet he always showed utmost respect upon seeing his Master. In contrast, Jin Feng, who originally was rather timid, seemed more relaxed.

Having experienced external training several times, Jin Feng had now become much steadier. He greeted respectfully, “Master, it has been quite unsettled lately. Demonic masters seem to have entered the Heavenly Talisman Sect. If it weren’t for Yao’er and the other spirits stationed here, along with the Celestial Tree regularly drawing tribulations, unforeseen changes might have occurred.”

“Oh? The Heavenly Talisman Sect is currently prosperous, in a phase of gathering fortune. Who dares to challenge us at this time?” Li Hui did not delay, his thoughts creating a magnificent glow, transforming into numerous Fortune Ascending Talismans. In an instant, they shot off, not knowing where they had gone, before he closed his eyes to sense for a moment, saying, “I understand now. Reversed Demons are descending from the Heavenly Realm, observing the Heavenly Talisman Sect. The Heavenly Realm has indeed set up arrangements in the lower realm, and many long-hidden demonic sects originated from the Reversed Demons.”

“Please give us guidance, Master!” Zhong Yuan and Jin Feng rubbed their fists in anticipation, ready for a great fight; however, Master Li Hui withdrew a talisman brush and began to write in the air.

Moments later, Li Hui completed a talisman decree and lightly pointed toward the distance, grinning as he said, “Done! I’ll use fortune as a guide to stimulate the weakest part of the Reversed Demons’ hearts, causing cracks to form in their cold demonic hearts. They might not descend if they remain up high, but once they come down to Wutu, they will become tempted and will roll in the mortal realm for years. As for what happens afterward, it depends on their own fortune! Perhaps the Heavenly Talisman Sect will even gain Reversed Demon disciples!”

“Ah!” Zhong Yuan and Jin Feng exchanged glances and thought, “Master is so clever! The key is, if we want to confront the Reversed Demons, how can we compete with the disciples for the spoils?”

Li Hui smiled, “Ruling a great nation is like cooking a small fish; managing a sect should be the same! The Heavenly Talisman Sect is in its thriving period, brimming with youthful vigor and showing no signs of decline. This is a flourishing state, but we are still some distance from the supreme state. In the future, whoever sits in the position of sect leader can observe fortunes with Bai Ze Dao Talismans, allowing them to issue decrees for adjustments. Perhaps in doing so, we can unknowingly undermine our enemies’ intentions.”

“I’ll take your teachings to heart!” Zhong Yuan and Jin Feng’s expressions grew serious as they quickly performed a deep bow to express their gratitude. They were not foolish; they recognized that their Master intended to cultivate them to take on the role of sect leader.

Li Hui nodded in satisfaction; he indeed intended to pass on leadership to the two of them. Advancing on the path of the Dao needed to shed attachments. Some sect leaders had occupied their positions for thousands of years, watching their disciples die one after another, and even their apprentices would end up in coffins—what vitality could such a sect possess? It was like a stagnant pool!

Since entering the world from the Heavenly Talisman Sect, he had set the tone for rapid development, with emphasis on diligently training and deducing talisman methods. Not to mention making daily innovations, every ten days or half a month, they should find a new direction.

This was not about rushing for immediate results, but rather about renewing oneself, adapting to the current trends of heaven and earth.

While the master and disciples were discussing, Zhong Yuan suddenly received news. After reading the message, he could not help but frown and quickly reported, “Master, you often reminded us to pay attention to that location in the distant sea, and now there has been a change. Just last night, the seabed suddenly rose, and by this morning it has already breached the water’s surface. Then there was a shift in the sky; it’s unclear where a celestial river was drawn, flooding down and carrying away mud and sand. We could see the expansive ancient land emerging, with many ruins in sight. The disciples below immediately reported and did not dare to risk exploring.”

“The Canglang River has appeared? This concerns the fortunes of the Twenty-Three Great Thousand Worlds for the coming centuries. The Demonic Essence World is bound to go berserk,” Li Hui’s face turned grave as never before.
