Although Gao Qingxuan said so, she wasn’t worried about them.
Instead, she looked towards the Jade Spring World.
After repelling Qu Su and Wang Guan, it wouldn’t be difficult for Yan Zhaoge and the others to escape.
Only, the Jade Spring World might suffer a calamity if they remained here.
This place and the World beyond Worlds were the same as the Roving Jade Heavens. Before their location was exposed, it would be fine if others didn’t know about it. Now that their location was exposed, it would be easy for them to cause trouble.
Yan Zhaoge swung his hand, and a sword appeared in his hand. The sword’s blade even pierced through an old Daoist’s body.
“The cause of the past, the effect of the present.”
Daoist Qing Zhang sighed. “My life is in your hands, fellow Daoists. I only hope that you won’t make things difficult for my disciples.”
Yan Zhaoge calmly said, “That depends on them. Just like what you said earlier, you reap what you sow.”
Then, the sword in his hand trembled, and Daoist Qing Zhang’s body instantly disintegrated, dying on the spot.
Then, they returned to the Jade Spring World.
Tong Xinlin, Guang Tongzi, and the others came forward. When they didn’t see Daoist Qing Zhang, Daoist Zhao Zhen, and Yao Yuncheng, they sighed inwardly. However, they didn’t say anything and only bowed towards Yan Zhaoge and the others, “Thanks to everyone repelling the heretics, my Jade Spring World is safe once more.”
“You’re being too polite.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “It’s all thanks to the Jade Cauldron Grand Master’s cadaver that we repelled our enemies and even killed the Sword Buddha to avenge our ancestors.”
The Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity’s cadaver was currently hovering beside Yan Zhaoge. It had already calmed down, and its eyes were closed.
Its aura and luster’s intensity had also returned to the Grand Heavenly Realm.
As for the jade sword’s half, it returned to Yan Zhaoge’s hand.
“Seniors, supporting us descendants is the sign of our Three Clear Lineage’s righteousness.” Yan Zhaoge solemnly bowed towards the Jade Cauldron cadaver.
Feng Yunsheng and Gao Qingxuan did the same.
The Jade Cauldron cadaver’s activation of the Immortal Trapping Sword was a huge part of their success in repelling their opponents and slaying the Sword Buddha on the spot to avenge Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian.
Upon seeing this, Tong Xinlin and the others said with a solemn expression, “We will never forget the Grand Master’s blessings.”
Yan Zhaoge’s words also expressed his stance.
The situation was urgent. He was only temporarily borrowing the power of Yu Ding’s slough to fight against the enemy. He had no intention of disrespecting his ancestors, and it was impossible for him to refine the slough of Zhenren Yu Ding into his clone.
It wasn’t because he cared about the thoughts of the people of the Jade Spring World. Rather, it was because the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity was a bigwig of the Jade Clear lineage, a senior and a Founding Ancestor.
While Yan Zhaoge’s lineage had not been passed down by the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity, his grandfather Yan Xintang had been of the Jade Cauldron direct lineage. Worshipping and guarding the corpse of the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity was in accordance with the principle of respecting one’s Master.
Of course, Yan Zhaoge would definitely take the Immortal Trapping Sword away. However, he did not intend to discuss it with anyone.
After experiencing what had just happened, Tong Xinlin and the others didn’t expect to leave behind the Immortal Trapping Sword. Yan Zhaoge’s respect for the jade cauldron cadaver already made them feel gratified.
“World’s, the Dao’t., the two. the Yan’t. the Cag World ‘Yang the Sect. the Yu’t’t the two World’s.
Yan Zhaoge said, “While we do not know when, the other party will definitely make a comeback one day. I wonder what our fellow Daoists plan to do?”
“Let’s talk about where to go later.”
Tong Xinlin didn’t need to look at the others and said frankly, “But just like what Daoist Yan has said, the Buddhists and heretics will definitely make a comeback. They are a Grand Heavenly Realm that we can’t defend against. If we don’t want to betray the orthodoxy, we can only leave the Jade Spring World.”
She smiled faintly, “Although it’s hard to leave one’s homeland, the Jade Spring World is too ancient and is on the brink of decline. Even without external enemies, its decline is foreseeable.”
Guang Tongzi and the others from the Jade Spring World nodded slowly.
“Previously, when the Jade Spring World was sealed, we were trapped and could only watch helplessly as dusk approached.
Now that the seal has been removed and the light of dawn has reappeared, what’s the harm in abandoning the Jade Spring World if there’s a better choice? “
Tong Xinlin said with a bitter smile, “After that battle, even though the Immortal Trapping Sword Light’s protection had stabilized the Heaven and Earth Realm, the Jade Spring World that was about to enter its twilight years has reached a point where it doesn’t have much time left. We can’t afford to stay here any longer.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “If that’s the case, please make your preparations.”
It wasn’t impossible for Yan Zhaoge and the others to settle down the Jade Spring World’s inhabitants. However, they had to make meticulous preparations.
While the Jade Spring World wasn’t as huge as the World beyond Worlds or the Roving Jade Heavens, it occupied a vast area, and its population was astronomical.
Moving around with these people was fine. However, if they wanted to settle them down for a long period of time, a suitable location was required.
Otherwise, if such a massive population were to swarm into the Sky beyond Skies or the Roving Jade Heavens, it would be a calamity for the natives.
Previously, eight hundred of the Immortal Court’s Immortal Territories were slain by the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus. Most of the population was relocated by the Immortal Court to the remaining two thousand and two hundred Immortal Territories.
However, the conflicts between the outsiders and the natives had even shaken the Immortal Court’s offerings.
Moreover, a massive group of martial art practitioners required a vast amount of resources to nurture. It wasn’t something that came out of nowhere.
The higher a powerhouse’s level was, the more resources they would consume on their path of growth would be a terrifying number that would leave ordinary people dumbfounded.
As such, if the Awakened Sky Cosmos wished to absorb the Jade Spring World’s inhabitants, they would have to establish a new world.
For the Awakened Sky Cosmos, which originated from the Pill Hall and wasn’t completely stable, it required careful planning and preparation.
Of course, absorbing the “refugees” would be filled with many obstacles. However, there were many benefits as well. It wasn’t as simple as having more mouths to feed.
First, there were already Tong Xinlin, a Profound Immortal with the Four Qis Fused Aura, and Guang Tongzi and other Immortal Realm experts of Daoism’s lineage.
Such a large population meant the emergence of more talents.
The Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus could nurture experts like Wang Guan, Yin Shiyang, and Qu Su, who were on par with orthodox Daoism and Buddhism. This was because their population far surpassed orthodox Daoism’s population.
The revival of orthodox Daoism had a long way to go. The nurturing of foundations mustn’t be neglected.
Now that the World beyond Worlds was facing a calamity, and the situation was unclear, Yan Zhaoge and the others were rather happy to have so many people of the same dao and were influenced by orthodox Daoism’s teachings.
“I wonder if your father is currently …” While the others went to arrange for the migration, Tong Xinlin and Guang Tongzi stayed behind to greet Yan Zhaoge’s group.
“My father is there.” Yan Zhaoge turned his head to look at Gao Qingxuan. Currently, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and Immortal Trapping Sword were both in her hands.
At the tip of the Immortal Trapping Sword’s hilt, dark-red radiances condensed into a tiny light spot.
