Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 743 - 384 Going Home_2

This ability does not come without a cost; as the cultivator gets closer to the essence of all things, their own existence becomes increasingly blurred.

With each step forward, they tread on thin ice; a single misstep can lead to eternal damnation.

The path after Refining Void is a process of maintaining one's self while pursuing the singular solution to all things in the world, reaching transcendence beyond all.

Because of the differences in paths of cultivation, for this ultimate realm after Mahayana, Dragon Tiger Mountain calls it Yuan Mixed Wuji, the Celestial Sect terms it Unity of Heaven and Man, the Sword Sect regards it as Extreme Path Sword Realm, while the Buddhist Sect discusses it as Other Shore Transcendence...

The Demon Race is no different; Sister Wang calls that realm the Earth Sea Realm.

In the eyes of the Demon Race, apart from matter and Spiritual Qi, there is a place known as Earth Sea.

All ripples in the world are reflected there.

The Demon Race believes that fully controlling Earth Sea is the only condition for attaining perfection.

The array in the Northern Territory is built upon Earth Sea, with White Emperor City as its anchor, aiming to create ripples in Earth Sea for the purpose of purifying the Demon Race.

Upon entering the Northern Territory, cultivators who have refined void cannot perceive the existence of Earth Sea but are nevertheless subject to its influence.

By amplifying these effects through the array, the paths of the two races can thus be made to clash.

"That's how it is, and now the array has been dismantled by me; henceforth, Earth Sea will no longer affect you."

Sister Wang sighed and said.

"If leaving the array means not being affected, why are you all so cautious in the East Continent?" Tang asked.

Sister Wang, "Of course, to act out the whole drama; otherwise, how could we deceive you all?"

"Was it necessary? For such a matter, you put on such a grand show." Tang murmured quietly.

"Why isn't it necessary?" Sister Wang looked at Tang, "You are the habitual offender!"

Sister Wang pulled out a scroll from her bosom, unfurled it with a snap, and the other end rolled to Tang's feet.

It was a long list. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Written here are all those human race cultivators secretly slipping into the Northern Territory over the years.

"Even under strict guard, this still happened. Otherwise, it would be even more frequent; if there were a mishap, it would be like the Great Wall collapsing, and the demon race would march south, returning us all to the past to play in the mud.

"Last time, that little rascal Xiao Jing caused trouble; had I not guarded closely, do you reckon the Eastern-Western war wouldn't have turned into a chaotic three-nation battle?"

Tang looked down at the list at his feet, the last line bore his name.

"Are you sure you were just protecting the array and had no other secrets?" Tang had a feeling Sister Wang wasn't being entirely honest.

Clearly, those spying on the Northern Territory wanted something beyond the array.

Of course, this didn't include him; he went there simply to get his feet washed.

"Yes, and not just one." Sister Wang replied candidly this time.

"What is it?" Tang eagerly asked.

Sister Wang pointed her finger, wearing the expression that warned he wouldn't like the answer if asked further.

Tang immediately fell silent.

A moment later, Master Konghai returned here before anyone else.

He was the last to flee; if there had been any mishap, it would have shown by now.

Moreover, he noticed just now, while above, that the city surrounding White Emperor City was indeed in ruins.

"Alas, is there anything we can assist with, is it related to Zhang Ze?" Master Konghai asked.

"Yes." Sister Wang nodded in response.

On hearing it involved Zhang Ze, several others returned here one after another.

"What happened?" Tang asked.

"Since I am asking everyone to lend a hand, some secrets indeed need not be concealed." Sister Wang ignored Tang and addressed the group.

"There was no need to conceal; you just refused to tell me." Tang slapped his thigh as he sat in his chair, clearly displeased.

Sister Wang pointed her finger again, and Tang fell silent once more.

After Tang quieted down, Sister Wang continued, "It relates to Earth Sea; the essence of the Illusion Realm Technique is touching Earth Sea.

"To perform the Illusion Realm Technique, one must carve out a limited space in the shallow waters of Earth Sea and let the cultivator enter it.

"Utilizing the properties of Earth Sea, in coordination with magical artifacts, one can reflect the inner world of the cultivator, thereby creating an almost perfect, realistic illusion.

"The reason you humans fail to grasp the technique and achieve no results in cultivation is because you cannot perceive the existence of Earth Sea."

"So how does this relate to Zhang Ze?" Mo Jingchun asked.

"While engaging with White Emperor in the illusion realm, some mishap occurred with Zhang Ze, causing him to fall deeper. Although I've managed to catch hold of him now, pulling both him and White Emperor out is proving difficult, I need help," Sister Wang explained.

Mo Jingchun asked, "What kind of mishap?"

"A ripple, a ripple from Central Continent,"

The one who answered Mo Jingchun was not Sister Wang but the incarnation of Lu Yuzhou from the Celestial Sect.

"I already felt something would go wrong in the Northern Territory while under house arrest recently, turns out it happened."

"Indeed, that ripple momentarily destabilized Earth Sea." Sister Wang nodded.

"So how do we assist?" Mo Jingchun asked.

"The Beast Taming Sect's Spirit Fusion Technique; employing this technique allows you to vaguely sense the existence of Earth Sea," Sister Wang replied.

Upon hearing this, Old Sect Leader Li, who had remained silently aloof, suddenly revealed an expression of realization.

"No wonder, so that's how it is..."

At the same time, Old Mr. Li puffed out his chest with pride.

Old Mr. Li had never lost to anyone in his life, and as for the Spirit Fusion Technique, only he possessed it.

This show of brilliance could only be performed by him.
