Chapter 545: An Old Friend

Fan Region, God Seeking Palace.
A layer of fog circled the above the mountain cliff. Qian Huanyi sat cross-legged and controlled his breathing, resembling a deity in heaven.
A flash appeared and Superior Wu Zun arrived with his hands behind his back, as though he had descended from above. "How's it?"
"I feel the same way too!"
Qian Huanyi composed himself. "The disturbed elemental energy and dream elemental force is beginning to settle down. It seems like the world is on the verge of recovery."
Both of them were among the best in their respective professions and had once been blessed by the realm's will before. Even after losing their positions, their senses were still as good.
"If that is so... The heavenly will is beginning to take action!"
Superior Wu Zun was elated.
"Even though the heavenly will is recovering, it is unlikely that the both of us will receive the blessings of the heavens once again! Are you still thinking of it?"
Qian Huanyi looked towards Superior Wu Zun and shook his head.
The both of them were blessed by the heavens previously because they had the support of the Imperial Court and the heavenly will felt that there was a need to keep the dream master sages under control.
Both conditions had to be satisfied. Now that Da Qian and the dream masters were severely injured, there was no longer a need for the heavenly will to bless and strengthen them.
"Hmph... It is always not wise to rely on others, for these benefits are only temporal, even if the entity we are relying on is the heavens!"
Superior Wu Zun scoffed. "After being blessed, both of us are as powerful as sages. However, at that point in time, our breakthroughs as martial artists and spiritual knights were restricted... Now that the restriction is lifted, we are free. Hehe..."
No matter what, the foundations of Da Qian would allow it to support the birth of countless sages!
Even Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi had the possibility of becoming a sage!
Now that everything was settling down, they were tempted to try. Otherwise, they wouldn't have joined the God Seeking Palace.
"Among the energies of the realm, although dream elemental force is still the most powerful, it is unable to affect the other forms of elemental force. This is the time for martial arts and spiritual spells to become more powerful... Soon, we will be able to control our armies and attack the demon spirits."
As long as there was fair competition, these organisations were not the least afraid of the demon spirits.
After all, they were not stupid and were beginning to learn about the habits of the demons spirits.
"Naturally! Even as of now, there are only a few demon generals who can fight against us. I am already intending to test my skills on them!"
Superior Wu Zun clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles.
"It would be best if we can take them under control. However, these demons spirits are too cunning, and especially so for the demon generals. They have countless clones of themselves and it is almost impossible to wipe out every single clone of theirs….."
Qian Huanyi's eyes glistened.
He had a different plan from Superior Wu Zun.
'Now that the realm is recovering, I should follow the heavenly trend. It will be favourable if I am able to achieve a breakthrough and become a sage. Otherwise, it is also fine if I am able to unify the lands and rule over them, thereby allowing the heavens to bless me once more!'
Martial artists were all about brute force and overpowering others, while Spiritual knights were more sensitive to the environment, trying their best to be one with the realm. To Qian Huanyi, there was no difference in achieving a breakthrough or receiving blessings from the heavenly will.
Of course, he felt no need to tell Superior Wu Zun about his plans.
"Only..."
He changed the topic of discussion. "The realm is recovering very quickly! There must be something fishy going on. We have to check it out!"
They would be speechless if all of this was heaven's work. However, if it was the doing of someone, then that person would be competing with them to get the blessings of the heavenly will. This would put them at a disadvantage and they would never allow for that to happen!
"Hmmm, I find this weird too. Don't worry, the God Seeking Palace has already sent people to investigate!"
Superior Wu Zun scoffed. "These people don't seem to trust me though..."
"This is normal..." Qian Huanyi looked down. "Although they claim that they are serving us, they are merely using us as a deterrent factor. After all, it was a fact that we were once rather close to the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards! However, it wouldn't matter... Everyone is plotting against each other, and we shall see who will have the last laugh."
...
In the heart of Da Qian, the Guang Region.
Tens of thousands of Demon Spirits resembled a black ocean as they surrounded a particular mountain.
"Leader, there is... There is the arrival of 8 Demon Generals, and even the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion is among them!"
In the ancestral hall, an elder reported the news, flustered.
"The Guangming Sect... have survived the oppression from the dream masters, and yet we cannot survive this?"
The leader of the sect, a True Elemental spiritual knight, seemed disheartened.
"Our location is not favourable. We are too close to the core of the demon army..."
"It's useless to say all this now. Gather reinforcements! After all, we are members of the Heavenly Spirit Association!"
"Heavenly Spirit Association? I don't think help will come in time... First of all, it will take time for us to get help. Secondly, all the members of the association have their own troubles to deal with! Who would be willing to help us?"
...
The elders were engaged in a heated discussion.
"Forget it!"
Finally, the leader made the decision. "Request aid from all our allies. We shall guard this place with our lives. On a separate note, how's the migration of the sect going?"
"Ever since the invasion, we have been already been making progress. We are now at the last stage!
All of them were not fools and could already predict the gloomy future, which explained their advanced preparations. "We have already made arrangements with the Martial Alliance in the North and the God Seeking Palace in the West. Of course, the focus is still on the East! However, although the invasion of demon spirits is not so intense there, they have their own troubles. We..."
An elder hesitated and his intentions were obvious.
Everyone would want to survive and would not sacrifice themselves at the expense of a certain ideal! Furthermore, in these troubled times, organisations would still require combat power!
"Do everyone have the same sentiment?"
The leader looked towards the few elders. "You're right, we need people to take charge there. The few of you can leave... I shall guard the mountain, even if it means I have to die!"
There were already at such a stage and yet, the leader of the sect was still resolute.
"Leader..."
The few elders exchanged looks and were speechless as they took their leave.
After three days.
In a bright glow, the entire mountain disintegrated into dust and even the army of demon spirits was severely injured.
From afar, a few demon generals observed the scene.
"A human True Elemental has sacrificed himself and his entire sect..."
"Agusi is such a poor thing. Too bad he was unlucky to have led the army."
"Nevertheless, he has many magical clones and all of them have the potential to assume his main body. Death doesn't really matter to him..."
These demon spirits would have numerous magical clones. Some of them were snakes, while others were in the form of humans with octopus tentacles, but all of them were equally weird and unnatural.
"I feel that something is not right!"
Suddenly, a huge black silhouette as large as a mountain appeared.
It had the form of a black lion and had three scorpion tails coming out from its back. However, it had the head of a human.
"Greetings, Three-Tailed Master! You were saying..."
With its appearance, all the demon generals bowed down in respect.
"This world has increased its resistance against us... Although this is inevitable, it has come too quickly..."
The 3-Tailed Scorpion Lion roared and spat out a mouthful of grass from its mouth. "I've done my investigations and found this!"
"Eh?"
The demon generals gathered around and were all in shock. "This grass can indeed stabilise the natural elemental energy in the surroundings. Although it is harmless against us, it is putting us at a disadvantage, for it will strengthen them! Could this be a natural retaliation from the world?"
Although these demon generals were not evolved from demon spirits, they were as mature and were full of experience and cultivation, making them similar to humans.
"These type of grass have propagated quickly throughout the world and we cannot stop it in time. However, judging from how it had appeared, this seems like the work of man and not nature!"
The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion heaved a puff of white smoke which formed the map of Da Qian, before marking out a certain point on the map. "From the way the grass is spreading, it seems like the source must be among these few regions... In the future, they will be the ones leading the resistance against us. We must destroy them!"
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
"This world will belong to us sooner or later! It belongs to the chaotic order!"
The demon generals agreed in unison and quickly came to a decision.
A new wave of demon spirits expansion had begun...
...
Nine Extremes Mountain.
Fang Yuan crossed his legs and started to explore the techniques of a dream master.
"To speak the truth, the dream master dao is extraordinary. Regardless if it is the 8 Gates Sword Array or any other paths, the final destination will be the same. One will be able to create beings and become a creator with power!"
After a few trades with the Dream Masters Alliance and understanding the information and secret techniques delivered from them, Fang Yuan began to grasp a new understanding of the dream master dao at an unprecedented rate.
"The only thing is... The foundation to all these is not sturdy enough!"
Initially, dream masters relied on dream elemental force and everything seemed lofty and unreliable. This was why the dream dao could be robbed off from Da Qian so easily.
Now, Fang Yuan felt that even the purest form of dream elemental force from the Demonic Heart Realm could not satisfy his needs.
Anyone who would encounter Original Energy would agree with Fang Yuan.
"It's a pity... If I were to use my Body Seal technique, I will bring trouble... I should not attract too much attention!"
Fang Yuan had to admit the fact that if not for his Body Seal ability, he would never dare to think of harnessing Original Energy.
"I can only use Original Energy as my goal in order to strengthen the foundations of dream masters."
Fang Yuan started to seem depressed. "I did not manage to fully explore it the previous time. Must I really explore another world? Where should I go? Everything in the vicinity has been affected by the Demonic Heart Realm and have become unpredictable..."
He felt that only he could have helped the Purple Eye Realm. If other normal dream masters had dream-traversed to the Purple Eye Realm, they would only die there. Even sages would be toyed with by the curses in the realm and would not have the chance to even encounter Original Energy!
"I should remain low-profile and explore a few other worlds to further improve the foundations of the dream dao..."
Fang Yuan felt troubled. It's a pity that Da Qian had shifted, resulting in all the initial coordinates of other realms to become useless... Considering my current cultivation level, I will still need to put in a lot of effort to locate the coordinates of other realms..."
"Mountain leader!"
At this point in time, after Liu Mengmei had obtained permission, she entered the room and seemed worried. "Outside... There's someone claiming to be your friend's sister, and she's here to see you!"
