Chapter 266: Overlord of the East China Sea
For more than 20 years after that, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue have been secretly visiting all over Cangzhou.
The intelligence they found in Yuezhou that year showed that Ren Zixian and Yao Yuzhi disappeared because they fell into the kind of teleportation channel that appeared randomly.
Just like when Ren Hanyue was suddenly swept to Yanzhou by the undersea whirlpool, Ren Zixian and Yao Yuzhi also encountered a similar situation.
Ren Hanyue also learned from Xia Weiyuan's words later that it turned out that the plane they were in had a great fight between Mahayana monks tens of thousands of years ago.
Since then, the laws of heaven and earth in this plane have become chaotic, and the monks here can no longer accurately sense the way of heaven, and those monks who have not yet had time to cross the threshold from the primordial infant to the distraction can only stop at the primordial infant because they cannot touch the laws of heaven and earth.
For tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many monks who have cultivated to the consummation of the Yuan Infant have died with hatred because of this.
In addition to the high-level monks who were cut off from the immortal path because they couldn't sense the Heavenly Dao, that big brawl also had a great impact on the low-level monks of this plane.
On the one hand, many of the best spiritual veins, mineral deposits, and cave heaven blessed lands were destroyed in that big brawl, and the immortal cultivation resources of this plane were extremely scarce because of this.
On the other hand, many places in this plane were unstable because of the great brawl at that time, and the number of people who strayed into it over the years was not a million, but there were 800,000.
It was okay to be teleported to an inexplicable place like Ren Hanyue, and many people were simply thrown directly into the void outside the realm or some confined place.
Monks who are usually thrown into these two places either die outright or, after a period of time, go mad because of a long period of confinement.
If it weren't for Bai Yu's constant presence of the old god, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue would have been unable to help but think in the worst direction.
In the more than 20 years that they were looking for Ren Zixian and Yao Yuzhi everywhere, Ren Hanjun and Liu Yi managed the Ming Dao Sect very well.
While they used the proceeds from mining spirit stone veins and capturing demon beasts in the sea to carefully cultivate the disciples in the sect and continuously strengthen the defense force of the Ming Dao Sect, they also attracted the scattered cultivators of the East China Sea Islands to join them with relatively generous treatment.
In just over twenty years, they used an incredible speed to develop the Ming Dao Sect into the most powerful and large-scale immortal cultivation force in the East China Sea.
Originally, they didn't take the Ming Dao Sect in their eyes at all, and none of the immortal cultivators in the East China Sea were left behind by the Ming Dao Sect without paying attention, and when they wanted to catch up, the Ming Dao Sect had already taken advantage of it.
The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that the Ming Dao Sect did not take the opportunity to expand and annex the spiritual veins and mineral deposits they occupied in one fell swoop.
And there are two main reasons why Ren Hanjun and Liu Yi did not do this.
First, they didn't want to cause a violent backlash from the various immortal cultivators in the East China Sea.
Although the scale of the Ming Dao Sect is now larger than that of any immortal cultivation family in the East China Sea, the largest number of disciples in the Ming Dao Sect are still in the Qi Refining Period and Foundation Building Period.
The Jindan monks who can really decide the outcome are still only four of them.
In other words, the high-end strength of the Ming Dao Sect is actually comparable to those immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea.
In this case, Ren Hanjun and Liu Yi will never encroach on each other's interests.
After all, if those immortal cultivators were to be twisted into a rope because of a strong sense of crisis, it would undoubtedly be their Ming Dao Sect that would suffer losses and be unlucky in the end.
When their wings weren't hard enough, they didn't want to be the public enemy of most of the monks in the East China Sea.
Second, Ren Hanjun still prefers self-reliance rather than picking up ready-made cheap.
The ocean is very vast, and there are countless demon beasts in the ocean, and their Ming Dao Sect is not a robber, and the resources for cultivation are enough for their disciples.
There is also good news that Ren Hanfeng and others, who had traveled abroad, finally returned to Qushan Island.
Ren Hanfeng has not only successfully married the Dan, but also contracted a wind beast.
The only fly in the ointment is that due to the haste of tying the knot when he was outside, he was still a little unstable when he returned to Qushan Island, and in order to avoid leaving future troubles, he was afraid that he would have to retreat honestly in the last year or two.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, who had been wandering outside, did not abandon their cultivation, they looked for people during the day and practiced hard at night, and finally broke through to the middle stage of Jindan in recent years.
Because it was only a breakthrough in a small realm, they didn't make any eye-catching movements when the two of them were promoted one after another, they took care of each other, took turns to protect each other, and completed the promotion process very plainly.
When Ren Hanyue turned one hundred years old, they had already traveled to almost all places in the Cangzhou Continent, but Ren Zixian and Yao Yuzhi were still nowhere to be found.
Those small and micro secret realms belonging to the big and small forces in different regions, they have also changed their faces to explore, but the final results are still disappointing.
Fortunately, they didn't risk it in vain.
Except for the time in Fengxi Mountain, they and Lin Shiyu each had ghosts and calculated with each other, and in the end, no one could get a bargain, and they basically didn't work in vain at other times.
Well, Fengxi Mountain may not have been busy in vain that time, at least, they gained Bai Shijie, a loyal subordinate.
Over the years, Bai Shijie has been unwilling to return to Qushan Island to cultivate steadily, no matter where Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue go, he will follow them with hard work.
Although his cultivation is limited and he basically can't help when fighting, his carefulness and steadiness are just right for helping Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue take care of trivial matters, collect intelligence, and come forward to conduct interpersonal interactions.
After spending seventeen years to remove the hidden danger of unstable foundation little by little, Bai Shijie redevoted himself to cultivation.
As a reward for his conscientious performance of his subordinate duties for more than ten years, Ren Hantang gave him a relatively precious book of exercises.
Bai Shijie, who entered the Tao from the wild road and had not systematically practiced any exercises at all, was like a treasure, he didn't say a word, knelt down and kowtowed to Ren Hantang three times.
Ren Hantang didn't expect it, and it wasn't until he finished knocking that he hurriedly pulled him up.
Although Bai Shijie's qualifications are average, he is smart, stoic, and has a high comprehension, plus he has Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, two "seniors", to guide him, so his cultivation speed is not much slower than Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six years later.
This year, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, who had traveled all over Cangzhou, finally waited for the Five Spirits Festival held in the Cangzhou Continent every fifty years.
The Five Spirits Festival is the largest monk festival in the territory of Cangzhou, and every fifty years, the major sects of Cangzhou will unite to hold it.
The puja is mainly based on the competition, supplemented by trading, and the monks who achieve a good ranking in the competition can not only become famous in one battle, but also get the jade medal of the Five Spirits Secret Realm that all the monks in Cangzhou dream of.
