Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 521 Goodbye
盛会
Looking south, there are Wanshou Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple.

"Boom!"

The wind was rising, the clouds were rolling, the thunder was flashing, the might of heaven and earth covered thousands of miles, and all the monks looking south were looking at them with awe.

"This is……"

"A test in the fairyland?"

"Has it finally come to this?"

"Lord of Ten Thousand Daos..."

"Great Immortal Zhenyuan..."

As soon as this movement was made, thousands of cultivators in the Nanzhan territory flew up, and even an Immortal Lord from the Tribulation Realm came out in surprise.

The cultivators looked and saw in the distance a place with disaster clouds as endless as the sea, thunder swirling into a whirlpool, the might of heaven and earth calamity, and the terrifying ghosts and gods weeping. It was the Wanshou Fairy Mountain and the Wuzhuang Blessed Land.

"Boom!"

Everyone was still in shock when they saw the thunder roaring, as if chaos had just begun. The thunder tore through the clouds of disaster and created everything. First they saw the primordial qi, then the yin and yang, the five elements and four laws, and the mysteries of the eight trigrams...

Many strange phenomena appeared during the catastrophe, showing the power of heaven and earth and the mystery of the great way.

"This immortal calamity..."

"Is it so terrifying?"

“For ordinary immortals, I’m afraid they have to go through the third or fourth tribulation, or even the fourth or fifth tribulation before they can see such power, right?”

"Daoist Zhenyuan, you are truly a rare talent. We are no match for you!"

"With a heaven-defying appearance, there will be a heaven-defying calamity. I wonder if you can survive it?"

"The first tribulation is not difficult to overcome. After all, he has the fighting power of a true immortal. I just don't know about the ninth tribulation..."

Looking at the various strange phenomena that appeared in the calamity, even though they were also calamity immortals, they were still a little frightened.

This went on for who knows how long, until finally the clouds cleared and the rain dispersed, all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving only one figure. The Taiqing fish-tail crown was like yin and yang, the rainbow contained the five elements, the handsome eyebrows and bright eyes were like an immortal, the proud sword posture was like a green pine, the golden silk and jade belt was wrapped around the cloud dragon, and the seven-star steps climbed the ladder to the sky. He was truly the immortal of heaven and earth.

The clouds have dissipated and the rain has ceased, all calamities have vanished, the Taoist holds a whisk in his hand, three flowers gather on his head, five energies surge in his chest, harmonizing the mechanisms of movement and stillness, adjusting the principles of yin and yang, manifesting the energy of Tai Chi Hunyuan, and creating the images of the Five Elements and Four Methods, all of which are complete and flawless, and endless, fitting in between heaven and earth, as if connected to the Tao.

Three flowers gather at the top of the head, five qi converge to the origin, and the Taoist body becomes an immortal fetus!

"It's done!"

"Sure enough it happened!"

"With such a great reputation, how can there be any false people?"

"The academy is establishing the Dao, Zhen Yuan is in trouble, and the secret realm is about to open..."

"Nanzhan, there are so many things going on!"

Seeing this scene, the Immortal Lords in the Tribulation Realm had different expressions: some had frowned, some were laughing, some were relieved, and some were fidgeting.

But no matter what, it is difficult to change the result.

……

Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple.

When Xu Yang stepped down from the clouds, he saw everyone coming to greet him and congratulating him in unison.

"Congratulations, big brother, for entering the calamity realm, achieving immortality, and attaining immortality!"

“Daoyou, you are indeed a virtuous and true immortal. You passed through the calamity realm and the heavenly gate with ease!”

"Brother, you have extraordinary powers. A simple robbery will not be an obstacle for you."

"The Taoist master will enjoy eternal blessings and a lifespan as long as the heavens..."

All the people who came here were close friends, including Immortal Zi Yang, Lord Chun Jun Sword, Fairy Peony, as well as the Lord of Chun Yang Palace and Mahayana cultivators from the Feng Ming Academy. They were all smiling with joy and felt somewhat relieved.

Flowers are in full bloom, fire is boiling, after the academy was established, although it was extremely glorious, and it also controlled the Ascension Platform, patrolled the sky, and controlled all realms. It was unparalleled at the time, and its development was even more rapid, but...

Beneath the beautiful scenery, there are hidden dangers.

How can a beautiful flower stay green forever?

How can a raging fire keep boiling oil for long?
To the outside world, the demon country and the abyss are watching covetously.

Internally, the Buddhist realm in heaven is in appearance but not in spirit.

In addition, the conflicts over interests among various sects and schools are becoming increasingly fierce.

And as the period of ten thousand years approaches, the Tongtian Secret Realm will open, and the Jiexian True Immortal will appear in the world, and the situation will be even more pressing.

With such hidden worries, countless people are walking on thin ice, as if the bowstring is stretched tight, and dare not relax even a little.

Only now has the tension been relaxed a little.

Looking at the people who were relieved, Xu Yang also smiled: "How can I enjoy the joy of the calamity alone?"

After saying this, he swept his whisk and called the Taoist boy: "Clear wind and bright moon!"

"exist!"

The two boys came forward and bowed in worship.
Xu Yang smiled and waved his whisk: "Take my name card and send it to all directions. The Dan Yuan Conference will be celebrated by all the world!"

"Yes!"

The two boys responded, bowed and left.

Xu Yang turned around and looked at everyone: "What do you think?"

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

True Man Zi Yang stroked his beard and smiled, nodding repeatedly.

Fairy Peony also smiled sweetly: "Brother has fallen into disaster, and the whole world should celebrate together."

Chunjun Sword Master also said: "In another hundred years, the Tongtian Secret Realm will be opened, and the Heavenly Palace and Buddhist sects will each hold the Peach Festival and the Yulan Basin Festival. If the Five Villages Danyuan Conference is held first, it will surely become a good story in the future. Wonderful!"

"Hahaha!"

As they spoke, everyone looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Such and such...

Inside Lingxiao Palace.

"He really got robbed!"

Looking at the scene of the clouds and rain stopping in the ancient mirror, the Jade Emperor's face was solemn and his brows were even more difficult to relax.

Queen Yu was beside him, and seeing his expression, she also spoke with concern: "Your Majesty, do you feel troubled by this?"

"Hey!"

The Jade Emperor shook his head and sighed, "Just now in the palace, all the ministers came together to the Wandao Academy and asked me to take back their authority and not allow the Wandao to patrol the sky and control the worlds to continue."

"I see."

Queen Jade smiled and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty intend to take back this power?"

"This……"

The Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I have no such intention."

"That's it."

Empress Yu smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has no intention, then the Wandao Academy has no right to overstep the mark. Everything is done according to the law and regulations. How can it be changed by human selfishness? Your Majesty is the Supreme God, so you should follow the principles of heaven, be impartial and just, and be selfless. In this way, who can find fault with you?"

The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What does the Queen mean...?"

The Jade Queen nodded and said, "Your Majesty is the Emperor of Heaven. As long as you follow the way of Heaven, no one can offend the majesty of Heaven. Otherwise, there will be punishment from Heaven!"

"I understand!"

The Jade Emperor was finally relieved after hearing this, and then asked again: "My Lord Wandao, you are the Emperor of our Heavenly Court. Now that you have entered the realm of calamity, the Heavenly Court should congratulate you. However, as the Heavenly Lord, if I go in person, it may be inappropriate. If I send other nobles, it will show that I lack sincerity. In the Queen's opinion..."

The Jade Queen smiled, having expected this: "I will raise one person who can take on this important task!"

"Oh?"

The Jade Emperor's eyes narrowed: "Who is it?" The Jade Queen smiled and said: "The Master of Yaochi Palace!"

"This……"

The Jade Emperor was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses and laughed out loud: "Very wonderful, very wonderful."

"Come here, draft my decree and go to Yaochi!"

……

So and so, after March.

Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple and Danyuan Conference were all unprecedentedly grand.

The blue phoenix and white crane represent the arrival of fairies, and the auspicious golden lotus represents the arrival of Buddha.

There are auspicious clouds and brilliant lights, dragons roaring and tigers howling here, and fairy music lingering there.

There is also the sound of chanting, echoing at the mountain gate.

"Mulanchuan Lanfeng Fairy, I present you with a seventh-level spiritual object, three ten-thousand-year-old magnolia flowers!"

"The Linglong Heavenly Monarch of the Eight Immortals Mountain sends me an eighth-level spiritual object, the Cang Hai Ming Yue Pearl!"

"Qiongfeng Mountain Wangxuan Tianjun sent me an eighth-level spiritual object, a Taixuan Immortal Spirit Fruit!"

……

The sound of the ritual chanting continued, and the cultivators coming and going in the mountains and outside the mountains were moved and envious.

"This……"

“They are all seventh- and eighth-level fairy items!”

"So generous?"

"Nonsense, don't you even look at who is coming?"

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Daos has entered the calamity, the Buddhist sects in Heaven, and all the major Dao sects have come to celebrate."

"As for any immortal sect, those who come are all immortal masters in the Tribulation Realm, and for the Mahayana sects, the masters are also the Supremes."

"Isn't it generous of such a person to spend money?"

"The Immortal Zhenyuan is the master of the Wandao Academy. Although he has just entered the calamity realm, he is a real immortal emperor. The major sects naturally dare not neglect him. Not only must the visitors be dignified, but the gifts must also be expensive."

"Master, those immortals sent such precious gifts, can we afford them?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat? How can the Great Immortal be such a profit-seeker? When the Dan Yuan first met, I was only a Golden Elixir Master, without any sect or school, and was all alone. I was a very insignificant person in this earthly immortal world. How could I not be able to enter the Wuzhuang Temple and listen to the Great Immortal's teachings?"

"Three thousand years have passed. I wonder what the fellows who were at the beginning of the Dan Yuan Association are doing now?"

"It's a pity that our sect has already been established and we can no longer enter the gate of the Wandao Academy. Otherwise, today..."

"I am also an old man in the Danyuan Association. My experience can be summed up in four words: it is a sure win. No matter what gift you give, it will definitely be worth the trip."

"The Immortal Zhenyuan is well-versed in history and modern times, and is a scholar of heaven and earth. He is proficient in all kinds of elixirs, talismans, arrays and weapons. Not to mention the herbal elixir and ginseng fruit, the Immortal's lectures and teachings at the Danyuan Conference alone are worth a million dollars!"

"In addition to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, many of the major sects in the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Tribulation Realm Immortals and Buddhas from the Heavenly Court Buddhism have also come. I wonder if they will also come on stage to preach. If so, this alchemy meeting will be very lively."

Listening to the sound of the ritual, the cultivators began to discuss among themselves, and their steps became even quicker as they all rushed into Wanshou Mountain.

At this moment...

"hold head high!"

A dragon roar was heard, and wind and clouds came. Everyone in the temple looked up and saw a brilliant golden light. It turned out to be a real dragon treasure ship flying in the sky.

The treasure ship flew into the sky and landed in front of a mountain, where a group of people appeared. They were all dragon sons and daughters, the Dragon King and the Dragon Mother, and an old man with a human body and a prominent head. He seemed to be old but not weak, which showed the majesty of a real dragon.

Exactly...

"Nanhai Ao Qin, together with the Nanhai Dragon Clan, congratulates Daoist Fellow Zhen Yuan on his advancement into the Tribulation Realm, achieving the Immortal Fruit, and attaining immortality!"

The old man led the South China Sea dragons to the front of the mountain and spoke loudly, which echoed throughout Wanshou.

Then, from the Wuzhuang Point, a auspicious cloud appeared and landed in front of the dragons. It was none other than Immortal Zi Yang.

"Junior Zi Yang, greetings to Lord Dragon. The Taoist master is still refining the elixir and cannot get away for the moment, so he specially sent me here to greet Lord Dragon!"

Although they have entered the Wandao Academy and call each other fellow Taoists, in front of outsiders, Zi Yang Zhenren is still respected as the Taoist Master to show their status and hierarchy.

Looking at the Mahayana master Zi Yang, Ao Qin did not show any dissatisfaction. He nodded and said calmly, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

"please!"

Zi Yang smiled and welcomed the dragons from the South China Sea into the temple. Qing Feng Ming Yue, who was guarding the mountain gate, also received a gift list.

"The Dragon Palace of the South China Sea sends a gift of eight-level spiritual objects, three pieces of Taixu Mysterious Crystals, seven-level spiritual objects, six South China Sea pearls, nine pieces of purple cloud corals, and eighteen pieces of Dongcang spiritual jade..."

The gift list was extremely long, and after reading it for a while, the cultivators kept looking inside and outside, with extremely strange expressions on their faces.

"This……"

"South China Sea Dragon Palace?"

"You're here too?"

"Three thousand years ago, when the academy was not yet established, Senior Zhen Yuan caused a great disturbance in the South China Sea, causing great suffering to the South China Sea Dragon Clan. They even reported this to the Heavenly Court, triggering a war between the Heavenly Court and the Wan Dao Academy. With such a grudge before them, why did he come to congratulate us?"

"And you're sending me such a gift. That Taixu Mysterious Crystal is an ancient immortal object left in the Taixu Sea. Although it's only at the eighth level, it can help people understand the power of the Taixu Sea. It's a treasure for enlightenment. It can even be helpful to the Tribulation Immortal. It has always been regarded as life by the South Sea Dragon Palace. Only a few were given out on the Dragon Emperor's birthday. They were nowhere to be found in the past. Why are you willing to use it as a gift now?"

"It seems that this time we are going to make peace with Zhenyuan Daxian!"

"That's right. The old Dragon King is here, a real dragon from the Tribulation Realm has come in person, and has presented such a valuable gift. It's obvious that Nanhai is very thoughtful."

“Humph, arrogant at first but respectful later. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. Back then, when I complained to the heavens and the academy was established, they never had any contact with me. Now that the great immortal has entered the calamity realm, they have changed their attitude and come to congratulate me. This kind of behavior…”

"The world is like this, what can we say?"

"The Immortal is a man of great generosity. Now that we have welcomed them into the temple, it means that the matter has been exposed. Fellow Taoists, please be careful with your words and do not make it difficult for the Immortal."

……

Looking at the South China Sea Dragon Clan sitting down at the table, the cultivators expressed their admiration and the atmosphere became even more lively.

At this moment, another strange phenomenon was seen outside the mountain. The ground suddenly cracked open, and an undercurrent gushed out, filled with the dark energy of life and death. In the dark energy, a team of carriages, ghost soldiers and paper horses, and spirits and ghost servants were seen carrying a black sedan chair to the front of Wanshou Mountain.

The black sedan came down and a man walked out. He was the King of the Underworld, Yama.

"Yama of the underworld, Mount Tai of the Seventh Palace, congratulations to the Master of Ten Thousand Daos, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, for completing the calamity realm and attaining immortality."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword shadow appeared from the Wuzhuang Temple and landed in front of Yan Luo. It was indeed Chunjun Sword Master.

"The Lord of Hell has come in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. The Taoist master is busy refining the elixir and cannot spare time, so he specially sent me here to welcome the Lord of Hell into the temple. Please!"

Chunjun Sword Master smiled and prepared to welcome the guest.

"please!"

Upon seeing this, King Taishan said nothing and walked towards the temple.

The gentle breeze and bright moon greeted the Lord of Hell, and he took a gift list from the ghost servant.

"The Netherworld sends you an eighth-level spiritual object, a plant of the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass, and a seventh-level spiritual object, a bottle of the Three Paths Water of the Forgotten River..."

"The Lord of the Underworld, the Yama of the Seventh Palace, the King of Mount Tai?"

"Is this person here too?"

"The Dragon King of the South Sea has come. It's no wonder he's here."

"I heard that Lord Yin Tian's Book of Life and Death is still in Wuzhuang Temple and has never been returned to the underworld."

"Is there any hope of getting the Book of Life and Death back if we come here to stop the war?"

"Great Immortal, you are kind and benevolent. Now that the underworld has bowed its head, as long as you promise not to produce another Yin Tianjun, the Book of Life and Death will surely return to your hands."

"The South Sea Dragons are here, and the Netherworld is here too. So what's next..."

Everyone spoke in silence, then raised their heads in tacit agreement and looked into the sky.

As expected, another strange phenomenon was seen in the sky: a brilliant golden light, with auspicious clouds inside and a lotus seat. On the top was a Buddha statue, holding a mutton-fat bottle in one hand and a flower in the other, making a seal. He looked down at the world with a sad and pitiful look.
