After the meeting, Shen Lang quickly deployed operations, intending to first find the remnants of the United Army who were living on the deserted islands in the inland sea.
The Tianyuan Sea is extremely vast, and trying to find all the remnants of the United Army is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, Shen Lang had previously obtained a complete map of the Tianyuan Sea from the Peacock Holy Envoy's storage ring. The islands were recorded very completely on the map, making it easier to find and investigate.
Shen Lang burned multiple copies of the map and distributed them to the Ape King and others.
Even with a map, it is not easy to find all the remaining monks of the United Army in a short period of time.
Shen Lang's idea was to first find a group of monks and take them to the star realm. After he went to Cangxuan Immortal Domain to handle all the matters, he would then return to Tianyuan Sea and take away the remaining group of monks.
I don't have much time, so I have to race against time.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Lang searched all the islands in the inner sea of Tianyuan Sea as quickly as possible, and only found tens of millions of monks from the United Army. Although they were not many, they had many old acquaintances of Shen Lang.
For example, Yuan Tianzong, the master of the Seven Saints Palace, Yang Wei Jinhong and other descendants of the Seven Saints of Meishan, Bai Chen and the elders of Huaguoshan, as well as some senior officials of Jiangjun Palace.
The remnants of the United Army who were able to survive the pursuit of the Chan Cult forces all had relatively high cultivation levels.
These remnants who had been on the run all day were deeply moved when they saw the United Army regrouping under the leadership of Shen Lang. Shen Lang also gave them many training resources, allowing everyone to regain their confidence.
Although he had gained a lot in the past three months, Shen Lang searched all the islands in the inland sea and could not find Hua Ziling and others.
In fact, this is reasonable. It has only been a year since Shen Lang sent flowers to Zi Ling and others and left the sanctuary dome.
Even for Daluo Jinxian, it would take at least ten years to cross the Tianyuan Sea.
With Shen Lang's speed, it would take at least three to five years to search the entire Tianyuan Sea. He didn't have that much time to toss around the sea, so he had to give up.
According to the previous plan, Shen Lang planned to send the current group of monks to the star realm first, and after returning from the Cangxuan Immortal Realm, he would then look for Hua Ziling and others and the remaining remaining monks from the United Army.
But after he left, someone still had to continue looking for the remaining monks of the United Army. Shen Lang was quite confused about who should stay to deal with these matters.
Shen Lang held a brief meeting in the space in the belly of the Beluga star to discuss this matter.
The Ape King was the first to shout: "Second brother, I was the commander-in-chief of the United Army before. I have to shoulder this part of the responsibility. Please let me stay."
"I'll stay with eldest brother too!" King Nine Heads also shouted.
"I would also like to stay," Long Tuozi said.
Almost all the senior officials were willing to stay and continue to search for the remaining monks of the United Army, but it was obvious that there was no need for so many manpower, and Shen Lang had a headache for a while.
In the end, Shenxiu recommended himself: "Brother Shen, let Shenxiu stay and deal with this matter. Compared with other Taoist friends, Shenxiu knows Taoist friend Hua Ziling. If he finds Taoist friend Hua Ziling, it will be easier to communicate with him."
Shen Lang's eyes lit up and he said: "In this case, I have to ask my sworn brother to take the risk."
"Compared to what Brother Shen did, what Shenxiu did is not considered a risk." Shenxiu shook his head slightly.
Shen Lang continued: "There is only one sworn brother, I'm afraid it's not enough..."
Ancestor Juechen and Saint Yaoyue looked at each other, stepped forward and introduced themselves: "Commander Shen, I and my daughter are willing to stay and help the holy monk Shenxiu."
"Although my father and daughter have no special skills, they are quite familiar with the terrain of Tianmu Immortal Realm and Tianyuan Sea. They can serve as guides for the Shenxiu Holy Monk. I also ask Commander Shen to help me and my daughter!"
After Patriarch Juechen finished speaking, Saint Yaoyue bowed towards Shen Lang like a little jade.
The senior leaders of the United Army are either Shen Lang's Taoist brothers, mentors, apprentices, elders, or have been very kind to Shen Lang, and they all have very good relationships.
Only the relationship between Patriarch Juechen and Saint Yao Yue and Shen Lang was not too strong, but they still received so many benefits, which made them feel quite embarrassed.
Saint Yao Yue understands this, so she just sent a message to her father, Ancestor Juechen, and suggested that he take the initiative to stay and help Shen Lang solve his problems.
Seeing that Patriarch Juechen had spoken to such an extent, Shen Lang nodded and agreed: "Okay. I'll spare the trouble for fellow Taoist Juechen and Miss Yaoyue."
No one had any objections.
Shen Lang kept the Beluga Star Bead and gave it to Shenxiu, and sealed the huge star energy in the Star Bead for Shenxiu to use.
Although the Star Skeleton Bead can only be activated and used by the Constellation Apostles, Shen Lang can give orders to the Beluga Star Skeleton, allowing Shenxiu to issue simple instructions to the Beluga Star Skeleton within a certain range.
The combat power of the White Whale Star Skeleton is completely comparable to that of the early Daluo Jinxian monks, and coupled with its extremely fast escape speed in the sea, it is enough for Shenxiu and others to protect themselves.
In addition, Shen Lang also selected a group of about 100,000 monks to follow Shenxiu, Ancestor Juechen and Saint Yaoyue.
After explaining everything, Shen Lang finally felt at ease.
The next day, Shen Lang led the Ape King, Nine-Headed King, Xia Ling'er, Xia Shan'er, Lan Xian'er, Yu Luosha, Mei'er, Long Tuozi, Bai Chen, Hong Ling Emperor's daughter, Lian Gu Zhenren and other combined forces. The top brass, as well as tens of millions of United Army monks, left the space in the belly of the Beluga star skeleton.
Over the vast sea, Shen Lang said goodbye to Shenxiu and others.
"I'm going to say goodbye. It may take a hundred years before I can reunite with you. Please be careful, three of you!" Shen Lang warned in a deep voice.
Shenxiu clasped his palms together: "Brother Shen, please take care of yourself."
"Commander Shen, take care!"
Ancestor Juechen hugged Shen Lang heavily.
Saint Maiden Yaoyue also bowed to Shen Lang, with a somewhat complicated look on her face.
From the beginning to the end, she had a lingering affection for Shen Lang, perhaps it was worship or pure admiration.
But she also knew very well that she and Shen Lang were already in two different worlds, and she could only bury her good feelings for Shen Lang deep in her heart.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Shen Lang sacrificed the star wheel and injected chaotic spiritual power into the star wheel.
"Zizzizi!"
Countless gears inside the star wheel rotate rapidly like a chain, bursting out violent starlight.
Between the electric light and flint, the starlight in the sky enveloped the surrounding space for thousands of miles, embellishing the sky and sea as gorgeously as the galaxy and the universe.
Along with everyone's exclamations, the star wheel in Shen Lang's hand began to release the power of teleportation.
Under Shen Lang's control, the stars around the space began to rotate, and a huge power of teleportation enveloped everyone.
When the power of teleportation increased to a certain level, tens of millions of monks were instantly teleported out by the dazzling starlight.
The next moment.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Shen Lang and many United Army monks were suddenly teleported to the center of the floating island on the dome of the sanctuary.
A huge golden door appeared above the dome of the sanctuary, which was the door to the star world.
The star gate with shining golden light filled the entire sky, opening at a slow speed, and endless golden light burst out from the door, illuminating the entire dome of the sanctuary.
"Everyone, please follow me!"
Shen Lang rolled up a large piece of escaping light and led tens of millions of allied army monks to shuttle into the star gate.
