Chapter 627
Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Yeo Dongbin could feel the potential of his sword flow growing ever greater, and he had arbitrarily named its perfected form the Six Intents Holy Heaven Diagram. However, since it was a perfected form without any fixed techniques to begin with, it was ambiguous how to judge its completion. This fact also meant that arduous hurdles still awaited him if he truly wished to attain the Six Intents Holy Heaven Diagram.
At Yeo Dongbin's request, the Eight Immortals began to move with agility.
Li Tieguai and Lan Caihe focused on subjugating demonic beasts and rescuing humans as they had been doing, while Cao Guojiu, Zhang Guolao, and He Xiangu spread grand barrier formations near major cities to aid their subjugation efforts. Subjugating demonic beasts had been ongoing work up to now, but this was the first time five of the Eight Immortals were moving in organic unison. The extreme consumption of their Taoist power etched deep mental fatigue into them, but they endured.
Meanwhile, Yeo Dongbin entered secluded cultivation, and to prevent him from being ambushed by special demonic beasts or yokai, Zhongli Quan and Han Xiangzi stood guard as his protectors.
On the first day of seclusion, Zhongli Quan said solemnly to Yeo Dongbin.
"Dongbin. You know why, even with far more powerful Great Immortals in the Heavenly Realm than us, we Eight Immortals must take the lead in subjugating yokai and heteroraces on the earthly plane."
Zhongli Quan was another teacher to Yeo Dongbin. Meeting his eyes, Yeo Dongbin replied.
"It's because of the laws of causality."
