"Heading to Yun Ling Continent? Junior Brother, you are now at the Immortal realm, and you might be suppressed by the world's order. You'll likely only be able to exert three-tenths of your current strength on Yun Ling Continent," He Xiuzhu said with a slight frown upon hearing this.
Each continent possesses its own set of world order rules, and those who surpass its limits will naturally be suppressed. The higher one's strength, the greater the suppression. This is unless their power is immune to the world's rules.
"Senior Brother, if I recall correctly, there are ways to overcome the suppression of the world's order rules. If one can gain the recognition of the world's order, not only will their strength not diminish, but they can also borrow the power of the world's order," Li Xuan said after a moment of thought.
"Indeed. Junior Brother, what you said is true. However, even on our Eternal Continent, only Elder Dan can achieve this. To gain the recognition of the world's order, one likely needs to reach the Boundless realm."
"Back then, I had no way of knowing how to go about this process or how to gain the recognition of the world's order," He Xiuzhu nodded slightly.
"It's alright. Back then, Great Venerable Yun Qi was the ruler of Yun Ling Continent. Furthermore, I received Great Venerable Yun Qi's inheritance, making me somewhat of a member of Yun Ling Continent. It should be more convenient this way," Li Xuan said with a smile.
He Xiuzhu nodded slightly, then said, "So, Great Venerable Yun Qi's inheritance fell into your hands, Junior Brother. Now that Yun Ling Continent's grade has declined and its world order is damaged, with your comprehension and strength, you might actually succeed."
"Since that is the case, I will no longer object to your journey to Yun Ling Continent. However, for safety's sake, you must be careful in all matters. Also, take this communication talisman. If you make any progress or encounter any situations, you can inform us through it."
"Okay." Li Xuan nodded, then took the communication talisman from He Xiuzhu and stored it in his Zhen Prison Ring.
"Since Sheng Ling Xiao's next target is Yun Ling Continent, their manpower on the Eternal Continent will surely be insufficient. We will take this opportunity to minimize the influence of the Saint Clan. The four clan leaders, do you know if Sheng Ling Xiao will personally take action this time?" He Xiuzhu asked Yue Zhengqi and the other three.
"Sheng Ling Xiao seems to attach great importance to this invasion of Yun Ling Continent, so he might very well go personally. Within the clan, only Elders Sheng Tian and Sheng Di will likely remain to guard," Li Shu replied.
"Good." He Xiuzhu nodded, then formed hand seals, and four suppressed and sealed porcupines flew to the front of Yue Zhengqi and the other three.
"To avoid Sheng Ling Xiao discovering any clues, the four of you should take them with you first. Additionally, once the teleportation array is complete, you must inform us whether Sheng Ling Xiao has dispatched himself. We need to wait to see how to proceed next."
"Understood." The four nodded, then each took a porcupine into their bodies, and their gazes shifted to Li Xuan.
"Since everything has been discussed, let's go out," Li Xuan said, waving his hand. A flash of mystic light appeared, and everyone vanished.
"Now that matters are settled, we shall return to our respective places. If Sheng Ling Xiao discovers us, there will surely be trouble." After leaving the internal world of the Sacred Seal, Yue Zhengqi, Li Shu, and Yuan Chu Ge bowed to Li Xuan and He Xiuzhu and the others.
"That is for the best. Clan Leader Yue, esteemed ones, please continue to act discreetly as before. If there are any developments or plans, I will inform you immediately," He Xiuzhu said with a slight nod.
"We have noted it." The four nodded. Yue Zhengqi, Li Shu, and Yuan Chu Ge then moved, disappearing into the void.
Sacred Mountain, Saint Clan.
"Strange, could I have sensed it incorrectly?" Sheng Ling Xiao murmured in the Sacred Hall, frowning after finishing a call with Qin Ming Jue.
"Lord Saint Master, is something amiss?" Elder Sheng Tian asked.
Sheng Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes to sense.
A few breaths later, Sheng Ling Xiao opened his eyes and shook his head. "Earlier, I sensed that the restrictions I placed on Yue Zhengqi and the other three seemed to have lost contact. Due to the presence of the esteemed Envoy, I did not sense it immediately."
"However, after sensing it just now, the life contract and the restrictions are fine. Perhaps I sensed it incorrectly."
"Lord Saint Master's strength is no longer what it was. With your methods, the restrictions you placed should be fine. Moreover, the life contract cannot be faked, and Yue Zhengqi and the other three would not easily try to break it."
"Furthermore, the esteemed Envoy also said that Elder Dan is currently guarding outside in Tai Xu, so it is unlikely anyone can remove your restrictions, Lord Saint Master," Elder Sheng Tian said.
Sheng Ling Xiao nodded, then looked at Elder Sheng Tian and Elder Sheng Di. "You two have heard it. The Great Venerable has instructed us to accelerate our plans. The trip to Yun Ling Continent must be successful."
"Moreover, if we can use Yun Ling Continent's world order rules for our own, stepping into the true Boundless realm will be as easy as picking something up. This time, you two will stay behind to prevent those four clans from making any desperate moves."
"Lord Saint Master, you will personally take action?" Elder Sheng Tian asked in surprise.
"How dare I be negligent of the Great Venerable's plan? Furthermore, this trip is crucial for me to step into the Boundless realm, so I must go personally. Alright, the teleportation array will be completed in half a month. You two go and urge them to speed things up."
"Yes!" Elder Sheng Tian and Elder Sheng Di bowed and then turned to leave.
"Junior Brother, travel safely!" Outside the main hall of Sheng Yuan Peak, the six of them cupped their fists towards Li Xuan.
"Esteemed Senior Brothers and Sisters, take care!" Li Xuan nodded, then took Yue Fuyyao's hand and vanished into the void.
