Luo Hou and Ji Du flashed briefly, one with a faint golden glow and the other with a faint silver light, adding so varied hues to the monotonous black-and-white world in the sky. Both sides remained silent for a long ti.
Inside Ji Du, ng Shaojie snapped back to reality. He stared at the Luo Hou opposite, which shimred with golden light. After a slight hesitation, he chose not to attempt contact and instead planned to leave.
"My friend?"
It was Kang Ming within Luo Hou who broke the silence, taking the initiative to speak. Under Lei Jun’s control, his voice, after so alteration, no longer sounded like its original self.
After hesitating for a good while, ng Shaojie finally answered, "I await your instruction."
His voice, much like Kang Ming’s from the opposing Luo Hou, was now altered beyond recognition. It was as if this signaled that everyone’s identities were to be kept secret. This realization made both Kang Ming and ng Shaojie breathe a sigh of relief.
Kang Ming was the first to start a conversation. Lei Jun obscured his own presence, treating himself rely as an unfeeling task dispenser, and listened calmly to the exchange between Kang Ming and ng Shaojie. The situation was not unlike Lei Jun’s own when he first arrived at the starry universe of the neighboring Heavenly Book Main Chapter.
Due to the caution they harbored, the first conversation between Kang Ming and ng Shaojie was shallow. However, despite their efforts to maintain secrecy, they still exchanged a considerable amount of intelligence. For the ti being, no obvious downsides to this mysterious starry universe could be seen, but neither Kang Ming nor ng Shaojie let their guard down.
Soti later, they both "logged off."

Near a small town on the East Sea Coast, within a concealed farmstead, Kang Ming pushed open the door and left the courtyard. He wore his hair in a Taoist bun and was dressed in everyday clothes, appearing as a Layman, indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
The sun was high in the sky. Kang Ming looked up, squinting slightly against the sunlight. It wasn’t because the sunlight was dazzling; rather, Kang Ming was reminded again of that peculiar, pitch-black sun. Luo Hou, huh... Kang Ming silently chewed on these words.
It could still possibly be a trap.If this isn’t a trap, but sothing real... does that an a Taoist Inheritance of the Taoist Talisman Sect, from the Ancient Taoist Heritage before a change of era, still exists today? And that top-tier masters have reappeared in the Mortal World?Such thods, at the very least, undoubtedly belonged to Upper Three Heavens Cultivators.But he hadn’t heard of such a thing before.Could it be that they had been living outside of the Great Tang Realm, in the Foreign Lands, and had only recently returned?What had they co back for?Are they rely searching for ancient relics, or are they seeking like-minded individuals to reshape the current Taoist Inheritance of the Taoist Talisman Sect?
Kang Ming pondered many possibilities in an instant. But should he tell the others in the Yellow Sky Sect, inform the Sect Leader Master, or tell High rit Elders Qi Shuo and Zhao Zongjie? At this mont, Kang Ming hesitated. Was this a trap or an opportunity?If it were a trap, there was no need to elaborate.But if it were an opportunity...
Kang Ming slightly lowered his head, no longer gazing up at the sky. The Yellow Sky Sect was currently under severe constraints in many aspects. They could only maintain themselves with the clandestine support of more than one power. But in comparison to the openly supported Celestial Master Mansion, the Yellow Sky Sect was always lacking in resources and conditions. Consequently, they had to make differentiated allocations.
Kang Ming’s talent was not poor, but within the Yellow Sky Sect, there were other young prodigies, and the competition was fierce. Chen Ziyang and Han Wuyou were both young talents of the Yellow Sky Sect who had entered the sect, cultivated, and beco renowned before him. One of Kang Ming’s major disadvantages was that the elders of his direct lineage in the sect were no longer around; his own ntor had perished during the Heavenly Moat Tribulation between the Sixth Heavenly Layer and the Seventh Heavenly Layer. anwhile, Chen Ziyang was a direct disciple of the Sect Leader, Taoist Taiping, and Han Wuyou was a direct disciple of High rit Elder Qi Shuo. Kang Ming had previously leaned closer to another High rit Elder, Zhao Zongjie. However, Zhao Zongjie had taken in a new direct disciple in recent years who was advancing rapidly...
The Yellow Sky Ancestral Altar is about to open, but this ti, only one person will be able to attend. Kang Ming took a deep breath. The Yellow Sky Ancestral Altar was unlike the Ancestral Altar of the Wanfa Sect at Dragon Tiger Mountain, which could uphold its sect’s fortunes for nearly ten thousand years. Instead, the Yellow Sky Ancestral Altar, much like a person, had a limited lifespan and was now entering its "old age." This was no secret to those both inside and outside the Yellow Sky Sect. Moreover, the Yellow Sky Ancestral Altar required extra caution to prevent sabotage by enemies. Due to various considerations, including conservation and secrecy, the Yellow Sky Sect would only select their most exemplary Sixth Heavenly Realm young disciple to go to the Ancestral Altar for secluded cultivation.
For everyone else, falling behind at this point could an being slower at every subsequent step. Kang Ming felt considerable pressure in his heart. Due to their environnt and experiences, every Yellow Sky Sect disciple walked a tightrope between the traps set by external foes and fortuitous opportunities. When luck presented itself, if one didn’t fight to seize it, their destiny could diverge dramatically. Kang Ming had walked his path this way. And now, another opportunity, which might well be a trap, lay before him.
What path should he choose? Kang Ming looked up once more, staring directly at the rising sun above.
「...」
On Dragon Tiger Mountain, Lei Jun’s consciousness had also withdrawn from the Dark Side of the Celestial Book. Looking at the inherently tranquil Dark Side of the Celestial Book, he shook his head slightly. It was sowhat regrettable that he was currently unable to fully pinpoint the whereabouts of the separated shadow. However, Riyao would likely also find it difficult to use half a volu of the Heavenly Book Main Chapter to confirm the locations of a few scattered pages of the Celestial Book.
As for other thods...
As Lei Jun’s eyes opened and closed, light seed to converge into Talisman Scriptures deep within them, flickering continuously. Between his brows, a faint glimr also seed to erge. On his earlobes, Talisman Scriptures surfaced, radiating a subtle light.
ng Shaojie was of little concern. However, if a Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman personally crafted by Kang Ming were to fall into Lei Jun’s hands, Lei Jun could potentially lock onto Kang Ming’s position within a very large area at any ti, and even eavesdrop on him.
