Taiyin Yueyao answered, "It’s fine, we can talk about it later."
Taiyang Riyao also spoke up at this ti. However, after Lei Jun’s increased interactions with Empress Zhang Wantong, he found Taiyang Riyao’s tone and phrasing to be completely undisguised. She now said simply, "Vajra Realm."
Over the years, the issues she had raised in the Celestial Book Universe were mostly related to Western Region Buddhism. Initially, she inquired about news of the Sumi Vajra Sect. Lei Jun had once traded an Earth Core Fla Heart with her. Afterward, her questions began to escalate.
The last few tis, her question had beco: "Other than the Vajra Division, do the other four divisions of the Five Vajra Sects—the Lotus Division, Buddha Departnt, Treasure Departnt, and Jiamu Departnt, also known as the Karma Departnt—truly exist? Who has definite news or related details?"
No answer was needed; the question itself was enough to make everyone, including Lei Jun, pay close attention. When the Sumi Vajra Sect first erged, Lei Jun, Yuan Mobai, Wang Guiyuan, and others had considered this matter when discussing Western Region Buddhism. Speaking of the Vajra Realm, Buddhist Scriptures ntion that it contains five divisions: the Lotus Division, the Vajra Division, the Buddha Departnt, the Treasure Departnt, and the Jiamu Departnt, which was also known as the Karma Departnt. But Sumi had always been a mystery; the external world found it hard to discern its true foundation. Between illusion and reality, it was difficult to tell whether it was rely the ostentatious blowing of a Dharma Conch or if there was indeed sothing profound yet deeply hidden.
Xu Yuanzhen once said that disciples in Sumi ca from a wide range of backgrounds before becoming monks, but the details remained unknown. Because of Li Qingfeng’s death, she now prioritized targeting Huang Xuanpu. Although Sumi and the Great Ming Dynasty had piqued her interest, she had set them aside for now.
"I’m not sure about the existence of the other four divisions of the Vajra Realm, but I do have so news about the Sumi Vajra Sect," rcury Water Luminary spoke up at this ti.
Taiyang Riyao asked, "What do you want?"
rcury Water Luminary replied, "Let’s talk in private."
Taiyang Riyao agreed, "Okay."
Mars Fire Radiance, Shen Qubing, was absent this ti. The others did not ask much about the reason. Lei Jun had heard that there had been so movents in the Southern Wilderness recently. The conflict between Great Tang and Jiuli had flared up again. With Shen Qubing in the Southern Wilderness, he might well be in combat right now. It would probably be best not to disturb him for the ti being.
As far as Lei Jun was concerned, the transaction was complete once he obtained the large quantity of Spirit Void Immortal Fruit he needed; it was a perfect fulfillnt of his expectations. Although he did not know where Fang Yue had acquired the Spirit Fruit, which had almost been lost in the Great Tang Realm, Lei Jun calmly accepted them once he verified there was nothing wrong with the fruit.
The White Lotus Frost Dew obtained from Luoyang, as the saying goes that the wool cos from the sheep’s back, was ant for the White Lotus Sect’s Future Maitreya. This Future Maitreya then handed over to Fang Yue the large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required by the Confucian Sect for cultivation, thereby successfully completing the three-party trade.
However, after retrieving the Spirit Void Immortal Fruit, Lei Jun did not imdiately consu it. He still needed to make so preparations. Now that he knew Fang Yue possessed Spirit Void Immortal Fruits, he could consider openly trading for a few more with him later and then openly plant them in the dicine fields of his mansion, attempting to cultivate a new Spirit Void Treasure Tree. Although it would inevitably be a lengthy process fraught with many difficulties.
Though his identity as Taibai tal Scepter in the Celestial Book Universe had never been a secret to the Empress, as Lei Jun’s cultivation progressed, he no longer had to worry about his identity being known to others. But true to his habits, he had no intention of voluntarily revealing himself; it was up to others’ abilities to figure it out.
「As autumn passed and winter approached, the end of the year was near.」
This year there was no Transcension Ritual nor Talisman-bestowed ceremony, but there would always be a grand ceremony every New Year. Since Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang was not on the mountain, the New Year’s grand ceremony would be presided over by a High rit Elder instead. Today, the one presiding over the grand ceremony was Lei Jun.
With Yuan Mobai in seclusion, Yao Yuan residing in the back mountain, Xu Yuanzhen away on a journey, and Shangguan Ning with Zhang Jingzhen leading other Middle Three Heavens Elders, they assisted Lei Jun from the side. All the ceremonial rites were carried out properly, and the grand ceremony proceeded smoothly and concluded successfully.
In this winter, Lei Jun refined his Spiritual Soul using both Lethean Mist and White Jade Bodhi. With both working in tandem, Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul beca more resilient than before, without losing its forr agility and sharpness.
「As winter gave way to spring.」
「One clear morning.」
Although Lei Jun was seated in the Supre Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven, his mind and body were in sync with the rising sun. As the morning sun began to ascend, his Spiritual Soul started to vibrate and unexpectedly flew out of his physical body.
Upon reaching the Divine Court Realm of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, Talisman Sect cultivators possess tightly fused souls, a matter of life and death. They rge Divine Skills and Mana to form the Divine Court. But this did not hamper cultivators from continuing to practice visualization and divine transformation.
At this mont, Lei Jun allowed his Spiritual Soul to manifest externally. For a mont, he resembled an External Alchemy School cultivator undergoing an Immortal Soul transformation. As his thoughts stirred, streams of Primordial Magnet Force radiated outward from his physical body located at Biyou Immortal Mountain, expanding into the surroundings.
Within the Supre Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven, Lei Jun was the only one present; now was the ti for him to fully exert his power. The Primordial Magnet Force wandered extensively, covering the entire Biyou Immortal Mountain and affecting most of the Cave Heaven.
Above, purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder continuously descended, clashing against the geomagnetism below, montarily dividing the Cave Heaven into layers. The upper half was streaked with purple thunder, while the lower half roiled with white magnetic force.
Even in such an environnt, Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul, having departed his body, remained tranquil. The beneficial effects of the refinent by Lethean Mist and White Jade Bodhi were fully displayed.
He silently mobilized his Mana. The whitish geomagnetic force gradually beca invisible.
At this ti, nurous Mysterious Gold Sword Pills were suspended around Lei Jun’s body. Sword light flashed across the sky in quick succession.
Lei Jun executed his Primordial Magnet Flying Sword technique with greater agility and swiftness than before. More importantly, within the large area currently covered by the Primordial Magnet Force, although the "sword light" still traveled in straight lines, it retained Elder Lei’s characteristic style and imposing might of striking without regret.
