Chapter 621: 281. The Celestial Master’s Robe is Here? (Two-in-One Chapter)_3

Lei Jun plunged into the river.

Then, he gently exhaled.

The sounds of the Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar resonated as true dragon and tiger figures emerged, merging into a pattern resembling the Yin Yang Taiji. This depicted the interplay of dragon and tiger, unfolding all sorts of profundities.

It was none other than the Dragon-Tiger Talisman.

As the Dragon-Tiger Talisman flickered, nine streams of radiance descended upon Lei Jun, manifesting the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights.

The Nine-colored Radiance floated directly above the river water, while an illusory Dragon-Tiger Talisman was simultaneously reflected in the mid-air.

Soon, a gleam of mirror light approached from afar.

It was Gao Yuyang and his Bright Flower Mirror.

This Mount Shu Sect Elder was known for his composed nature and seldom wavered from his original intentions.

He had descended the mountain with Fu Dongsen this time in search of Spiritual Objects related to the Ancient Heavenly Palace.

However, as his Bright Flower Mirror swept across the area at this moment, he could not help but be stunned.

The Celestial Master Robe? he thought, stunned. It looks like the genuine Mixed Cavern Nine Lights. And it’s even coalesced a Dragon-Tiger Talisman. This cannot be faked. So the Celestial Master Robe is actually here? Though moving with the river water, it should be influenced by the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi. Could it be that Jiuli’s return to the Mortal World and the subsequent changes in the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi caused the Celestial Master Robe to reappear?

Although he was an Artifact Refining Sect cultivator, a treasure as significant as the Celestial Master Robe still captured Gao Yuyang’s attention. Moreover, as a supreme treasure of the Talisman Sect, the Celestial Master Robe held immense value for the Mortal Tao Country.

Gao Yuyang, who had been without any clues regarding his original target, felt his spirits lift slightly. It seems my deliberate efforts to find one thing have been fruitless, while an unexpected treasure has practically fallen into my lap.

He immediately went to investigate.

The Mixed Cavern Nine Lights undulated with the river water, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Fortunately, Gao Yuyang’s Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Bright Flower Mirror, could perceive clearly in all directions, allowing him to ascertain its general direction, so he immediately gave chase. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Lei Jun had chosen the Yu River and his current direction for specific reasons.

As he traveled downstream, moving from the upper to the middle reaches of the Yu River, he was also approaching a small contingent from the Western Region Buddhist Sect.

Their leader was an acquaintance.

It was none other than Master Longjia.

He was leading several other monks, searching along the Yu River basin for Tian Linlong and the Blood River Sect disciples.

As Master Longjia walked, he formed Hand Seals before his chest, directly enhancing his spiritual perception and remaining vigilant of any disturbances in his surroundings.

He did not encounter an enemy attack, but an astonishing Spiritual Power aura approached, making him wary.

As a native-born Elder of Vajra Temple with profound experience and extensive knowledge, he was well-informed about matters both within and outside Great Tang.

In the past, he had even personally witnessed the former Celestial Master, Li Qingfeng, wearing the Celestial Master Robe.

And at this moment, Master Longjia distinctly felt the aura of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights.

The Celestial Master Robe is actually here?

Master Longjia stopped in his tracks and looked back.

He remembered that they had previously followed the river downstream and encountered a branch of the river that formed a large lake amidst the mountains.

The aura of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, in its flow, had not continued along the main course of the Yu River but had instead entered a tributary system, seemingly diverting into that large lake.

Then, the aura gradually faded.

It appeared due to the changes in the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, but now it’s fluctuating, about to be hidden deep once more...? Master Longjia speculated inwardly.

He made a swift decision, turned his group around, and headed upstream along the river towards that large lake.

Although Taoism and Buddhism follow different paths, such a significant treasure holds value in many respects, Master Longjia mused. Especially since entanglements between the Western Region Buddhist Sect and the Great Tang Dao Sect might arise in the future. While it’s crucial to avoid making more enemies at present, as long as word doesn’t get out, obtaining the Celestial Master Robe would naturally be a huge gain. For the Celestial Master Mansion, it would also be a significant blow. We can secure it first and decide how to deal with it specifically in the future. But if we miss this chance, it’s hard to say if another will come. To think, to think, after missing the Celestial Master Seal back then, today there’s an opportunity to obtain the Celestial Master Robe. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed... He was filled with a myriad of emotions.

And then, he ran right into Elder Gao Yuyang from the Mortal Tao Country.

In the mountain lake, a massive vortex had now formed, its currents sweeping everything around.

But at the bottom of the vortex, the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights were clearly visible.

The whirlpool, infused with the Spiritual Energy of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, appeared exceedingly dangerous at this moment.

The Middle Three Heavens Cultivators from both the Western Region Buddhist Sect and the Mortal Tao Country recoiled at the sight; they could only remain on the outskirts of the lake, anxiously watching their respective sect elders from the Upper Three Heavens delve deep into the water.

The two parties soon engaged in battle.

However, both sides still exercised some caution and restraint.

Since we’re already fighting, and fighting for the Celestial Master Robe, why not just be ruthless, silence them permanently, and prevent news of the Robe from leaking? Such thoughts occasionally surfaced in their minds, but considering the bigger picture, both sides remained hesitant.

The fundamental conflict in their objectives and claims perhaps allowed them to maintain this restraint, yet it also made sincere negotiation nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights waited for no one and were already about to sink to the bottom of the lake, back into the earth and stone.

Master Longjia’s gaze grew resolute. One hand formed a Hand Seal before his chest while his other palm struck upwards.

High above, a Treasure Mirror hung, but Gao Yuyang himself was nowhere to be seen.

In truth, Gao Yuyang, an Elder of the Artifact Refining Sect at the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm, had merged his Spiritual Soul with his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Bright Flower Mirror, thereby further elevating the Magical Treasure’s power, making it formidable even for Master Longjia to handle.

Master Longjia thrust his palm out, hoping only to momentarily impede the Bright Flower Mirror.

He himself then dove deeper, intending to seize the chance to retrieve the Celestial Master Robe.

Who would have thought? CRACK! Master Longjia’s palm struck the surface of the Bright Flower Mirror head-on!

The Buddhist Family’s Hand Seal Lineage emphasized both physical constitution and spiritual fortitude. Empowered by his Hand Seal, Master Longjia’s palm strike actually cracked the surface of the Bright Flower Mirror.

A large handprint was starkly imprinted on its surface, and the mirror’s light dimmed instantly.

On the lakeshore, several individuals from the Mortal Tao Country were in a standoff with disciples from the Western Region Buddhist Sect. They couldn’t discern the precise details through the swirling vortex, but when everyone saw a black handprint appear on the Bright Flower Mirror, they were all aghast.
