Journey to the head

In the vast ocean, within the misty illusion, there is a green island standing in the waves.

In this Dharma-Ending Age, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted, but the island can still maintain a certain spiritual vitality. The spiritual energy is integrated into the mist and ripples on the island. The spiritual plants are lush and green, and the spiritual flowers are in full bloom.

A white-haired old man was standing in the middle of the island with an excited look on his face. The spiritual pressure rising from his body told everyone that he was actually a Jindan!
This is the Golden Immortal of Penglai Sect, the master of Penglai Island.

"It has been confirmed that not only is the spiritual energy produced on this island slowly recovering, but even the spiritual veins in the land-based sects that were about to dry up have begun to produce spiritual energy again!"

His words caused the people around him to burst into enthusiastic cheers. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and ecstasy, and many people fell to their knees, crying bitterly.

These people came from all corners of the world, from various sects and schools. To put it nicely, they were seeking truth in seclusion, but in fact, they were hiding in this Penglai Fairy Island, relying on one of the relatively healthy spiritual veins in the world, barely surviving and struggling to survive.

The one who had been hiding here the longest had been hiding here for hundreds of years. Even now, apart from Baiyujing, the only three remaining Jindan in Daxia gathered here.

Otherwise, with the external spiritual energy depleted, he wouldn't even be able to maintain his state.

Jindan has a life span of 800 years, so he still has some time to live. But others often die of old age, and they have been replaced one after another over the past few hundred years. How can this not make people feel sad?

but now!
"The world is changing, the spiritual energy is reviving!" Someone shouted with joy, "We can get out now!"

Five hundred years ago, the Penglai Sect was also preparing to follow Baiyujing's example and lock the mountain gate, but they were surrounded by several Jindan sect leaders and their men, who threatened to kill them all if they did not share their spiritual veins.

The Penglai Sect had no choice but to open Penglai Island and allocate some admission quotas to the outside world.

Once they entered the island, they were in self-imprisonment. The monks on the island would be great figures in the outside world, but now that they can escape and travel the world again, they are like being reborn and are ecstatic.

"It's not just about getting out, the most important thing is that there is hope for our path!" Kunlun Sect's Jindan shed tears. He has been living in seclusion on the island for hundreds of years and has long sent a message to Kunlun that he will not come out unless there is a crisis of extermination of the sect. Now, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining.

All the monks also shed tears together, and the noisy sounds filled the entire fairy island.

"Thank goodness, God, I can still see this day and have the opportunity to glimpse the realm above the Golden Elixir!" He shouted loudly, but suddenly heard a calm voice coming from the corner.

"Old senior, your life span is almost over, and you will not have the chance to break through to the golden elixir stage. Instead of making trouble and disturbing the world, it is better to return to the mountain gate and say goodbye to your disciples before you die."

"You--" Kunlun Jindan's face turned red, and his hair and beard stood up in anger.

Wherever he pointed, the crowd dispersed, revealing a Jindan cultivator standing quietly behind him.

This man was tall and thin, with his hair shaved only a thin layer. His face should have been extremely handsome, but there was a long and narrow knife scar running from the left corner of his forehead to the right side of his chin, dividing his face diagonally into two halves.

Being pointed at by Kunlun Jindan, he just quietly fiddled with the rosary in his hand, his tone still calm.

"Oh, that's right. You have been hiding in Penglai for five hundred years. Your disciples have long since turned into ashes. Even if you return to Kunlun, no one will see you."

"In that case." He smiled and pulled the terrible scar, "Why don't you travel with me and see the beautiful world again? I will accompany you until the end."

"Xiang Kong!" Kunlun Jindan cursed, "Only a devil would want to travel with you! Sooner or later I will tear your mouth apart!"

Xiang Kong shook his head: "You are no match for me."

Kunlun Jindan roared, and a rolling spiritual pressure rose. Penglai Jindan quickly blocked him and shouted, "Brother, why are you bothering him? It's been decades, haven't you gotten used to it? This is how they teach. If you can't stand it, just treat it as nonsense and don't take it to heart!"

Xiang Kong put his hands together and smiled happily: "Master Wuliang, Daoist friend Hu Tian's words deeply reflect the subtlety of our sect's 'peace of mind' doctrine."

Master Hu Tian was too lazy to argue with him, so he stretched out his hand and the illusion array of Penglai Fairy Island opened.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang Kong, you were imprisoned in Amaterasu Palace for three hundred years. After escaping, you were seriously injured and came to my island to recuperate. It has been several dozen years. Now that your injuries have fully recovered and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has revived, with your age and cultivation, you naturally have great potential, so I will not keep you here."

Xiang Kong nodded happily: "Good, I was just about to say goodbye to you and return to the world. The spiritual power of heaven and earth is revived at this time, which is a good sign of the blessing of the Holy Master."

Kunlun Jindan snorted angrily: "How much cultivation does your so-called founder of the religion have? Is there really such a person? No matter what, he was reduced to ashes ten thousand years ago. How can he be the one to bless and protect us? It's really ridiculous."

Xiang Kong did not show any sign of anger. He clasped his hands together, smiled and praised, "Saint Master Wuliang." Just as he was about to get up and leave, a disciple suddenly came running to report.

"There is a strange golden elixir fairy, whose Taoist name is 'Liquan Jun'. She suddenly appeared on Kunlun Golden Summit yesterday and is instructing various sects to find her junior brother 'Tianyuanzi' Lu Qian."

"According to what she said, that Tian Yuanzi's cultivation level is above the Golden Core level!"

There was a huge uproar on Penglai Island.

Outside the Great Xia ancestral temple, Lu Qian flashed away and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind Emperor Kaiyuan Li Sheng who was completely unable to react.

He had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and normally could fly at a speed of six thousand miles per hour. Now, in his fear, he had even escaped from the outskirts of the imperial city in an instant, and his surging spiritual consciousness spread out in all directions.

But Lu Qian soon stopped slowly again. There was nothing behind him and there was silence between heaven and earth.

Miaofa Tianjun is really a person who makes people feel extremely afraid.

Even though he had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and witnessed or even participated in the battles between high-level cultivators, Lu Qian still trembled when he thought of the immortal temple, of Miaofa Tianjun who was standing on the altar, holding the square tripod in his hand, with a halo condensed from thousands of bones hanging behind his head, and billions of creatures chanting magic sounds around him.

The power of that split soul caused the Lord of Life and Death to take action personally at any cost. His strength must be even greater than that of the Lord of Unity!
No matter how proud you are, you must avoid the Sixth Saint. No matter how far you travel, you must not encounter the Seventh Immortal!
Just a wisp of soul left in the world has such powerful strength. He is truly worthy of being the Merciful and Great Dharma Lord!

If I were in front of Miaofa Tianjun, I would be blown away by the breath. If Miaofa Tianjun's soul was really here, how could I escape? It would have been crushed to death long ago!

Since he was able to escape here, it proves that there is nothing unusual about the statue, at least for now.

But what about the threads of telekinesis that are flowing into the statue?

Lu Qian took a few deep breaths in the sky, and finally gritted his teeth, holding the golden branch high, and fled back.

This is related to the secret of the Heavenly Sovereign, and perhaps it is a great opportunity, so we must find out!

Li Sheng was standing at the entrance of the back hall with a serious face. He was staring at the statue, and he couldn't imagine why a statue that looked ordinary and actually had no effect could scare away a great foundation-building cultivator who could already dominate the world.

What is the origin of this so-called national treasure of Daxia and this immortal from outer space?
I am from a branch of the royal family. Perhaps the direct descendants of the royal family at that time would know these things better.

Lu Qian had already turned back. He carefully looked again and again to make sure that the statue was still standing in the hall without any signs of movement. Then he said to Li Sheng, "Your Majesty, I will take you away from here first."

Without waiting for Li Sheng to speak, Lu Qian had already picked him up and flew into the sky again.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the statue depicts an extremely evil immortal. I have personally encountered him and I am still frightened." Lu Qian explained, "I will deal with it carefully later. It is not safe for you to stay here."

Li Sheng did not completely believe Lu Qian's explanation. While he was thinking, he suddenly heard Lu Qian say, "I agree to your request to kill the treacherous and resist foreign aggression. I will take care of this immortal statue."

He was immediately overjoyed: "With Immortal Master Lu's assistance, I have nothing to worry about! I wonder how the Immortal Master will take action?"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Since I am assisting Your Majesty, of course I will obey your orders. Now, I am the sword in your hand, and it is up to you how I swing it."

Half an hour later, Prime Minister Qin Shi was blocked outside the palace. His face turned pale as he discovered that key positions such as the Imperial Guard Captain and the Imperial Guard Commander had been replaced, and the entire palace was out of his control.

He looked at the closed palace gate and turned away.

Everything has begun to fall apart. There is no other way but to start the movement early!

And Lu Qian stood in front of the back hall of the palace again.

Lu Qian was generally satisfied with Li Sheng. Although the young emperor was a little immature, he was resolute and decisive, had clear ideas, and had some initial skills in winning people's hearts.

Li Sheng knew that Qin Shi’s strength did not lie in himself, but in the network he had painstakingly built over decades in this vast empire, with both civil and military officials under his control.

Killing Li Sheng alone would be useless. These shadows and darkness would lurk again, causing endless harm and causing even more trouble.

I can only figure it out slowly.

Now that he had made up his mind, Lu Qian also wanted to see how far he could go.

Consider it a test for Li Sheng.

Now the entire ancestral temple was empty under Li Sheng's decree. Lu Qian took the golden branch in his hand and shook it towards the statue of Miaofa Tianjun.

"Hey, Master Miaofa. Please open your six eyes and take a look. Do you recognize this thing?"

"Guess who sent it to me? You definitely don't want to see him, so let's take it easy."

The statue of the Lord of Heaven did not move, and there was still a pair of eyes on his cheeks; he did not grow four more eyes.

Lu Qian gritted his teeth and raised his fingers rudely.

The boundary of the five elements is opening!

The five elements of spiritual energy interweave into a sea. Thousands of rays of light submerge the statue!

Five-colored divine light was rippling in the Baoyun Spirit Lamp, the necklaces on the Zhenling Pagoda were jingling, the light of the Dongzhen Mirror was bright and clear, and the golden branch in Lu Qian's hand was shining even brighter, and a ray of golden light made the entire roof of the hall shine dazzlingly.

At this moment, Lu Qian had already tried his best, but he knew in his heart that even so, if the statue really moved unusually, he could still be crushed to death with just one finger.

Fortunately, the statue of Miaofa Tianjun remains unchanged.

Lu Qian finally walked up to the statue and observed it closely.

After a moment, he let out a light exclamation.

The young immortal is dressed in fluttering white clothes and has an ethereal aura, and he looks lifelike.

His appearance is exactly the same as Myobeomcheonjun in the Immortal Temple in Cheorwon County.

But, there is no evil intent.

The more Lu Qian looked at it, the more he felt that the immortal in the statue had a warm smile and compassionate eyes, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

Moving your eyes downward, you can see three lines of ancient seal characters engraved on the base of the statue.

The compassionate and wonderful Heavenly Lord who spreads the Dharma.

If you take my basket, three disasters will never come near.

If you uphold my law, you will be immune to all calamities.

No, there are no two creepy sentences at the end: "Sacrifice your flesh and blood, and we will ascend to heaven together. Sacrifice your spirit, and we will go to the celestial palace together."

Lu Qian let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at it for a while before putting away all the magical powers, magic weapons and golden branches.

When we think about the fact that Miaofa Tianjun spreads Taoism and texts in this world, the answer is obvious.

This should be what was left behind by Miaofa Tianjun before he was corrupted by evil forces.

At that time, he was truly the compassionate and virtuous Lord of the Dharma!
In addition to the Yuanchen Realm, he also saves all living beings and comes to the smaller realms to spread the gospel of Taoism, bringing civilization to the ignorant small realms and a glimmer of hope to the monks there.

A glimmer of hope to escape from the small world by working hard and ascending before being completely drained by the Yuanchen Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian was suddenly stunned.

Or, would there be a powerful being in a small world who, after cultivating supreme power, cut off the spiritual vein channel and saved his own world?
If this is the case, to put it another way, Miaofa Tianjun is not only compassionate and spreads the Dharma to save all living beings, he is also using his own way to help all the heavens and worlds resist the bullying and oppression of the Yuanchen Realm!
Although the ascension of the small world also brought new talents to the Yuanchen World, the attitude of these people towards the Yuanchen World after they ascended was unclear. If they were attached to their homeland, it would cause disasters.

Besides, the Yuanchen Realm doesn't care about these small things. It just wants to eat up the small realm, extract its spiritual energy, and replenish the Great Dao. It will become stronger and stronger, and the cultivators it breeds will also become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, for the Yuanchen Realm, it would rather the smaller realms remain in a state of ignorance!
The Lord of Life and Death once said that he was not the Lord of Life and Death of the Yuanchen Realm, but the Lord of Life and Death of all the heavens and worlds.

Well, now it seems that if everything is true, Miaofa Tianjun can also be called Miaofa Tianjun of all the heavens and worlds!
Compassion and spreading the Dharma are the most worthy of the name.

However.
On that day, an extremely filthy, strange and evil aura rose into the sky. The Xuanyin Heaven, which was originally filled with auspicious clouds, golden flowers and wonderful sounds of the Tao, was corroded and fallen. The fairy children and maidens underwent a horrifying deformation in this turbid air.

Miaofa Tianjun became the world-destroying devil from then on.

Wait, Shengsha Tianjun once said that after Miaofa Tianjun turned from an immortal to a demon, his only goal was to completely destroy Yuanchen Realm.
Doesn't that mean he is completely on the side of all the small worlds?
Lu Qian wrote down these speculations and carefully studied the statue.

The material of the statue is neither gold nor jade, and it feels soft to the touch. However, because the world has lost its spiritual energy, its brilliance has been restrained and no clues can be seen.

That is to say, it must be of extremely high quality, so it can still maintain its spiritual power after tens of thousands of years of spiritual energy decline, otherwise it would have turned into dust long ago.

Lu Qian walked around a few times, but found nothing else.

He had no choice but to carefully use his spiritual sense to explore, ready to interrupt and escape at any time, while injecting his spiritual sense into the statue.

He didn't feel anything at first, until his powerful spiritual consciousness was almost exhausted, a soft and clear light began to emanate from the statue, and a vast and mighty aura spread outwards!

At this moment, a feeling of oppression that could not be described in words surged up, and Lu Qian's heart beat like a drum.

This is the existence that cannot be seen, understood or grasped by mortals, the true immortal!
Is this really a magical weapon?! (End of this chapter)
