Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 551. The Lonely Taoist Master Lei Jun (Two Chapters in One)

Lei Jun obviously had similar conjectures as Wang Guiyuan.

So after learning that Zhao Chanyang had successfully refined his spirit and returned to the void, he immediately informed the other party of the relevant news.

Zhao Chanyang is a non-confrontational person, one could even say he lives in seclusion.

But he was still a straightforward and decisive person, and he did not avoid enemies who had grudges with the Kunwu Sect or with himself.

This was what happened to Ge Xuanzhi in the past.

The same has happened to the Demon Dragon Emperor in recent years.

After receiving the news from Lei Jun, although Zhao Chanyang did not come to the place in person, he contacted Lei Jun in person as soon as possible to find out the specific details.

While Lei Jun was in contact with Zhao Chanyang, he also exchanged information with Zhang Wantong.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang are currently in the Confucian world, while Zhang Wantong is in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths world.

Lei Jun invited her and Zhao Chanyang to meet near the Abyss of Time in the human world later to discuss further countermeasures in person.

Wang Guiyuan listened quietly on the side, and only spoke again after Lei Jun finished communicating with Zhao Chanyang and Zhang Wantong:
"You should not underestimate the Demonic Dragon Emperor. If he really takes advantage of the reappearance of the Heaven Realm in the Rulin World to cause chaos, even though it has only been about thirty years, compared to the last time you dealt with him, his strength may be much greater than before."

Lei Jun: "Brother is right, I have the same guess. Among the rulers of the three realms of heaven, earth, and man in the world of demons, this demon is most likely the strongest."

To be precise, although the conditions of the three great demons are not very stable and perfect, and it is difficult to be compared with a genuine Confucian saint like Yan Aoyun, but if a comparison must be made, the Demon Dragon Emperor is the most normal of the three demons, or the one closest to normal.

It’s just that before this, it had spent too much energy and time on refining treasures in the imperial furnace.

And the situation of the imperial furnace is special.

Lei Jun is guarding it now, and everyone is living in peace because the vast world related to the Imperial Furnace has nothing to do with Lei Jun.

But Lei Jun would never let his junior fellow apprentice Chu Kun and disciple Feng Ting get in close contact with the imperial furnace alone.

The Demon Dragon Emperor's previous treasure refining was equivalent to spending his energy taking care of the Imperial Furnace while also enduring the Imperial Furnace's continuous and powerful attacks.

The Demon Dragon Emperor can bear it, but it is no different from bearing an extra burden while refining a treasure.

Fourteen years ago, when the heaven and earth of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were united, the Demon Dragon Emperor was counterattacked by Lei Jun, Zhao Chanyang and others, which ruined his plan. Before he could rest, he encountered Yan Aoyun and was beaten so badly that he couldn't raise his head.

Without the Imperial Furnace, all its previous efforts were wasted and it suffered heavy losses, but after these years of recuperation, the Demon Dragon Emperor must be in much stronger condition than before. Even if he is still not as good as Yan Aoyun, he is now in a different league.

Perhaps among the three great demons, the strongest is still the Great Destruction Bodhisattva in terms of frontal combat capability and destructive power, but in terms of comprehensive strength, the demon dragon that has been entrenched in the heaven for many years is the number one in the world of demons.

"Fortunately, Kunwu Sect's Master Zhao has also achieved spiritual enlightenment."

Wang Guiyuan said: "If Saint Feng Ming can catch up, it would be great."

The Phoenix Fengming is a spiritual beast, and its qualifications are difficult to accurately measure using the aptitude and level of understanding of human cultivators.

But it is recognized by the world that he is a peerless genius along with Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Zhang Wantong and Zhao Chanyang. Looking at the pure-blooded phoenixes in ancient and modern times, there are few who can be compared with him.

Previously, the time he took to reach the second level of immortality from the initial stage was similar to that of Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang, which was about twenty years.

Although their speed of progress in other realms may be different due to different ways of cultivation and different opportunities and circumstances, but unless there are major accidents, we can make a rough estimate as a reference.

During the period when Lei Jun advanced from the second level to the third level of the fairyland, he was much faster than Zhao Chanyang because he received help from the Ten-Colored Crane Cover and the Tianlu Jade Horn.

If Zhao Chanyang's progress speed is used as a reference, it will take Fenghuang Fengming about twenty years to achieve the third level of immortality.

An ordinary third-level fairyland master would be of limited use against a great demon sage like the Demon Dragon Emperor. However, the situation was somewhat different for Phoenix Fengming, who had gone from the second-level fairyland to the third-level fairyland.

I just don't know if I can make it in time.

Although Yan Aoyun is in charge, the changes in the world also involve special existences such as Tianmojing. The timing of the reappearance of the heaven in Rulin can only be predicted roughly, and cannot be artificially controlled before or after a specific time point.

"It is difficult to judge at the moment. We can only hope that Saint Master Fengming can catch up in time." Lei Junyan said: "Fortunately, Daoist Fellow Zhao has returned to the Void. We should just let nature take its course and not demand too much."

Wang Guiyuan: "Speaking of fellow Taoists from the Kunwu Sect, neither Master Zhao nor Master Zhang has any intention of recruiting disciples in the human world."

Lei Jun agreed after hearing this.

After the nine heavens and ten earths were unified, most of the population in Kunlun also moved to the human world.

Zhao Chanyang, the immortal from the Danding School, stayed in the heaven, while Zhang Haipeng and other masters from the Kunwu School eventually settled down in the Kunlun Mountains on earth, making it another holy place for practicing Taoism.

However, compared with the deep-rooted Chunyang Palace and the enterprising Zhenwu Temple, the Kunwu Sect, which is also the holy land of the Danding Sect, is much more low-key. It does not open its gates to many people. It is also relatively restrained and cautious in accepting new disciples and the selection is relatively strict.

Nowadays, the holy land of the Taoist Alchemy School in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is a little bit subtle.

For those who know a little about the world of spiritual practice, the Kunwu sect is the one they most yearn for.

The reason is the standard of people supporting the sect.

As the undisputed number one alchemy immortal in the world, Zhao Chanyang's legendary resume naturally attracts countless young people.

However, he often lives in heaven and rarely sets foot on earth. His presence is so weak that it is just like the legend. The image of another alchemy immortal, Mu Chunyang, is far less detailed than that of Mu Zhenjun.

At the same time, Kunwu Sect's geographical location is more remote than Chunyang Palace and Zhenwu Temple, and the journey is long and difficult.

In addition, Zhang Haipeng and others had no intention or action to actively expand the influence of their sect, so the Kunwu sect failed to achieve the reputation it should have.

As for the other two, the ancestors of Chunyang Palace were wealthy and their reputation remains, but there is currently no immortal in charge.

The Zhenwu Temple has a shallow foundation, but the alchemy immortal Mu Chunyang still exists.

Therefore, neither side was able to overwhelm the other.

A delicate balance was vaguely formed among the three holy places of Danding back then.

"It's almost broken. Brother Jiang Daoist of Chunyang Palace is about to take a further step forward." Lei Junyan said.

Wang Guiyuan suddenly smiled and said, "The fellow Taoists of Kunwu Sect are not very active, and our sect is almost the same. This is all due to your example.

Speaking of which, not being extravagant is of course a good thing, but as the current head of my Xuanmen Taoism, you don’t even have a Taoist child accompanying you, which is indeed a bit lacking in grandeur.

Junior Brother Hua Jie is the head of a sect, so it doesn't matter. Junior Brother Hua Fei and Junior Brother Hua Ting just happened to be there to make up the numbers. "

Lei Jun also smiled and said, "Don't be too ostentatious, otherwise if Junior Sister sees me, she will try to usurp the throne and force me to step down."

The two brothers talked casually, without taking it to heart.

However, to the outside world, this is actually a sensitive topic that has been discussed for a long time and has attracted attention from all parties.

Lei Jun has already resigned from the position of Heavenly Master.

Although he has always been a member of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, he has been either high above the clouds or deep under the nine earths for many years, paying little attention to the affairs of the world and no longer interrogating the affairs of the Tianshi Mansion. He usually handles things fairly and peacefully, and his lectures are not only to the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, but also to the Taoist disciples all over the world and even the practitioners of other sects.

Therefore, Lei Tianjun's status in the world became more and more transcendent.

He only has three direct disciples. Although he has never stated it directly, based on the disciples of his master Yuan Mobai, the outside world has basically confirmed that Elder Feng Tingfeng is the last disciple of Master Lei.

Naturally, other holy places do not want their most outstanding successors to switch to the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion, even if he becomes the direct disciple of the former Heavenly Master Lei Jun.

However, serving as a Taoist boy beside the current Xuanmen Sect Master is undoubtedly a good job. From time to time, you can get personal guidance from Sect Master Lei. Not only does it not delay your practice, but it is also of great benefit. In the future, after leaving Sect Master Lei, you can return to your own sect.

In this way, the sect itself can become more familiar to Sect Leader Lei, which is beneficial to its overall development.

Even if it cannot gain the same influence as the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, its weight is different.

It’s a pity that Master Lei has never made any offer in this regard.

Otherwise, the Taoist children from all sects would probably line up from Youdu in the underworld to Longhu Mountain in the human world.

Lei Jun himself has no intention of recruiting people specifically.

Occasionally when there was a need, he would ask his disciples to make a guest appearance. Anyway, he would always support and guide his disciples on a daily basis.

It must be said that with his current level of cultivation and the fact that he usually makes elixirs and treasures, not just anyone would be suitable to be Master Lei's Taoist child.

Not only does the level of cultivation need to be high, but the aptitude for physique and comprehension also needs to be as high as possible.

"Baobao is busy, and Senior Sister Huarong is also busy. Huafei often runs away, and now Xuwu has also run away. Fortunately, we still have Huating."

Lei Jun laughed at himself: "Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy."

This spring, Lei Jun's direct disciple An Buzheng successfully survived the natural disaster between the eighth and ninth heavens.

A new Mahayana master has been added to the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain.

However, after only a few days of recuperation, An Buzheng accepted Chi Haifeng's invitation to go to the Confucian world to broaden his horizons.

In the future, when he returns to the world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he will come to Lei Jun less often.

Since he had decided to establish a new sect, An Buzheng, in addition to traveling around looking for suitable mountain gates, temples, and caves, naturally had to learn from other experiences and make preliminary preparations.

Lei Jun did not object to this, and even had some expectations emotionally while letting things take their course.

Guo Yan, a fellow disciple who was ordained into the mansion in the past, left the mountain to open a new branch for the Tianshi Mansion, named Bi Bo Mountain, which has now begun to take shape.

Guo Yan herself also successfully reached the seventh level last year.

He is not even two hundred years old yet, and still has hope of reaching the eighth level.

Compared with many disciples with similar qualifications and circumstances in the past who remained at the middle three heavens level for their entire lives, Guo Yan has changed his own destiny.

Lei Jun also hopes that the Biboshan lineage will continue to prosper.

When An Buzheng leaves the mountain in the future, his cultivation level will be far higher than Guo Yan's.

Lei Jun doesn't mind whether the scene the other party creates in the future is big enough, as long as the other party can understand his own heart and is neither sad nor afraid.

Just like Lei Jun at the moment, he is aware of the changes in the universe inside and outside, and is well-informed, but not disturbed. He focuses on his own practice, lives and practices at his own pace and rhythm.

I don’t know how long the years are in the mountains.

From then on, the situation in the nine heavens and ten earths was stable, and people on earth were peaceful and prosperous.

The newborn baby grows into a strong teenager in the blink of an eye.

Sixteen years passed in the same way.

The head of Xuanmen, Lei Tianjun, also celebrated his 200th birthday.

Lei Jun spent his 200th birthday on earth.

Similarly, many people gathered to celebrate his birthday.

However, Jiandan met the guests who came to congratulate him at the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain in the human world, and Lei Jun returned to the vicinity of the Abyss of Time later.

The abyss of time that fell on the human world was like a huge and tragic wound torn between heaven and earth. Fortunately, the situation has been stable in recent years.

Including Lei Jun, four figures gathered outside the Abyss of Time, three Taoists and one secular.

Lei Jun in a yellow brocade robe.

The Taoist in purple robe is his fellow disciple Chu Kun.

Another Taoist priest in a moon-white Taoist robe seemed to be hidden in the white clouds. He was Zhao Chanyang, who rarely came out of the mountains.

The last woman in white Confucian clothing is Zhang Wantong, a lay Buddhist from Tianrui.

The four of them kept trying to figure out the changes in the Abyss of Time. Lei Jun, in particular, had a battle formation diagram in front of him. While he was explaining it, he also listened to other people's opinions and occasionally sketched and modified the battle formation diagram.

As they were talking, Zhang Wantong's eyes suddenly flashed: "Xiao Xiao's side is settled."

After she renamed herself Tianrui Jushi and the Tang Dynasty color on her faded less and less, she got used to calling the brothers Xiao Hang and Xiao Chunhui "Big Xiao" and "Little Xiao".

Xiao Xiao is Xiao Chunhui.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun nodded repeatedly: "Instant sainthood, that's great. His new learning is becoming more and more perfect, and it's unique. It's only natural for him to take this step."

Although he was later than Xiao Xueting, Shen Qubing, Fang Yue and others, Xiao Chunhui made rapid progress in his practice after he had a clear idea of ​​what he wanted to learn.

The natural feedback from the world he gained from studying new things, combined with the Confucian spirit, enabled him to make rapid progress and make up for the time he had lost in the seventh and eighth heavens.

Like Neo-Confucianism and history, what Xiao Chunhui was currently learning was also derived from Confucian classics. Therefore, when he had cultivated to perfection in the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven, he also obtained the Five Classics, and was able to rise to prominence quickly. He was more likely to open the door to immortality and become a saint than other cultivators at the same level.

As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, you will make a big splash when you do. The powerful boost brought by his accumulated strength enabled him to come from behind and overtake Meng Shaojie again, becoming one step ahead of the other.

Before Xiao Chunhui and after Zhou Pu, there was Jiang Yu, the Palace Master of Chunyang Palace, who successfully reached a higher level, practiced Qi and restored his spirit, and opened the door to immortality.

Leaving aside Ge Xuanzhi who happened before, the Chunyang Palace lineage finally produced another immortal spirit after the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty.

After the merger with the human world earlier, the various branches of Chunyang Palace in the human world unanimously elected Jiang Yu as the palace master representing the entire Chunyang Palace.

On the one hand, it was because the overall strength of the Chunyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty was stronger at that time, and on the other hand, it was because they had the closest contacts with the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

And now, Jiang Yu has ascended to heaven, finally making all his previous achievements worthy of the title.

“I heard that Master Zhuo has been making great progress in recent years, his cultivation has increased, and he has begun to prepare for opening the door to immortality?” Zhang Wantong said, “I wish Master Lei’s disciples to attain the state of immortality soon.”

Covered by white clouds, Zhao Chanyang's figure was looming, but at this time, one could roughly see his movements looking over here, and he spoke:
"I wish Master Zhuo Tian will ascend to immortality soon."

Lei Jun: "I would like to borrow your good words."

Chu Kun was also quite emotional.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

Recalling the time when he had just started learning, he was feeding a little bear on behalf of his senior brother Lei Jun. The little bear had gained intelligence but could not speak human language, and he even battled wits and courage with the bear.

In the blink of an eye, he had already become an immortal, and the little bear from the past had become the new Heavenly Master, and now he had begun to attack the fairyland.

Zhuo Baojie is a spiritual beast who practices human Taoism, so when Lei Jun was teaching him before, he was neither impatient nor anxious and gave it a lot of thought.

Although he has a solid foundation, the speed at which his cultivation level improves seems to be sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if he is constantly adjusting the pace artificially.

This is actually quite disadvantageous for normal human cultivators and may bury their talents.

But for Zhuo Baojie, the foundation has been basically laid, and the next step is to improve steadily and climb higher and higher.

The same situation existed for Yuan Mobai in his early years.

However, the advantage that Zhuo Baojie has over his own master is that there is a huge gap between the daily teachings received from their masters on the path of cultivation.

Yuan Mobai's experience as a pioneer can be absorbed and learned by Zhuo Baojie.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, merged with the human world, and later communicated with other universes. In addition, the many innovations of Taoist monks headed by the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain were all improvements in the acquired environment.

Today, nearly thirty years after Zhuo Baojie had cultivated to the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven and reached the state of perfect Five Qis Chaoxuan, his accumulation has become even deeper, and the originally illusory immortal gate has gradually become clear and within reach.

"After the King of the Later Han Dynasty, Fellow Daoist Jiang, and Mr. Xiao, not only my little disciple Huajie, but many heroes in this world are approaching the immortal gate. I believe there will be a concentrated surge in the next few years." Lei Junyan said.

Zhou Pu can be roughly regarded as the end of the last cycle. He should have opened the door to immortality at about the same time as Shen Qubing, but he was delayed for a period of time and ascended to immortality after Shen Qubing, Chu Yu and Fang Yue.

From another perspective, he can also be considered the beginning of a new batch.

After him, in the sixteen years, Jiang Yu and Xiao Chunhui ascended to heaven one after another.

Looks a little sparse.

But next up is this batch of large troops.

In addition to Zhuo Baojie, Zhu Junjie, Li Feiyang, Meng Shaojie of the Confucianists, Tianshu monk of the White Lotus Sect, and Huang Tiandao Kangming, who is a Mahayana cultivator of the Taoist Talisman Sect like Zhuo Baojie, are currently making final preparations to impact the fairyland.

Just as Lei Jun said, in the next few years, the world of nine heavens and ten earths will usher in a new round of fairyland masters' blowout.

The three Taoists and one Confucianist present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even Zhao Chanyang's eyes flickered as if he thought of something, and he did not continue the topic.

Including Xiao Chunhui who had just ascended to heaven, the cultivators who had recently attempted to reach the immortal realm, except for the monk Tianshu from the White Lotus Sect, were either Confucians or Taoists.

Although Xiao Chunhui and Meng Shaojie started new studies, they were still closely related to Confucian classics.

Zhu Junjie's learning is about practical affairs, and he emphasizes governing the country and benefiting the people, but he is also a Confucian scholar.

Li Feiyang is the most orthodox Confucian scholar in the world.

What they have in common is that after achieving perfection in the ninth level, they can achieve rapid success.

As for Zhuo Baojie and Kang Ming, they were both great Mahayana masters of the Taoist talisman school who had achieved perfection in the Five Qis and thus obtained the bridge to the mystery.

Confucianism and Taoism happen to be the two Taoist school of thought that theoretically have the lowest difficulty in reaching the realm of immortals.

If it were the era background and natural environment two or three hundred years ago, it would not be difficult for everyone to ascend to heaven.

But in today's environment, the advantages of Confucian classics and Taoist talismans have really begun to be reflected.

Of course, the majority of people cannot open the gate to immortality.

Some people struggled.

Lei Jun had heard that Li Feiyang's attack on the fairyland had an impact on the Han Dynasty that was, to some extent, no less than the impact of King Zhou Pu of the Later Han Dynasty becoming a martial immortal.

The reason is that Xiang Sheng, the contemporary Han emperor, is one of the more struggling people.

After Li Feiyang, he was not the one who had the hope of opening the gate to immortality.

The great scholar Wang Ruo from the Wang family of Langya and Yu Boyan, a high-level Mahayana practitioner of the Shushan School of the Han Dynasty, who was originally from the Han people today, were both more favored.

This brings us to the fact that Xiang Sheng was forced to give up the blessing of the emperor's royal skills.

If Xiang Sheng had been blessed with the power of an emperor, he would not have struggled like this.

There were many people in the royal family of the dynasty who shared the same suffering, but unfortunately they were helpless.

While Lei Jun was talking with Zhang Wantong, Chu Kun and others, he kept working.

The formation diagram was covered with numerous complex and exquisite talismans, flashing a faint light.

"It's almost time, the Confucian scholars should have already started." Lei Junyan said.

Before he finished speaking, his eyes flickered slightly.

Zhang Wantong on the other side also seemed to be aware of something: "Well, it has begun."

As time went on, Yan Aoyun, Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang and others in the Confucian world gradually figured out the exact date when the heaven would reappear.

This year exactly.

And, right now, these days.

Therefore, at Lei Jun's invitation, not only Zhang Wantong came here, but Zhao Chanyang also came down from heaven to the human world and gathered outside the Abyss of Time.

Today, another big change in the Confucian world has arrived as expected.

"It's a pity that we can't wait for Saint Lord Feng Ming and Senior Sister and Senior Sister Tang to reach a higher level." Chu Kun had similar emotions and regrets as his senior brother Wang Guiyuan.

Fenghuang Fengming, Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang reached the second level of the fairyland at about the same time, with the former arriving slightly earlier.

They are all extremely talented, making rapid progress, and are also close to reaching the third level of the fairyland.

But now it seems that I have not been able to make it to today.

Phoenix Fengming has already started preparations. According to their own estimates, Phoenix Fengming expects it to take about five years, while Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang expect it to take about ten years.

"Things in the world are ever-changing. It's hard to always be satisfied. We just need to do well in the present." Lei Jun looked calm and gestured to Chu Kun.

Chu Kun nodded, did not stay any longer, and went straight back to the ancestral temple of Mount Longhu in the human world.

At the same time, Yuan Mobai and Wang Guiyuan were sitting respectively in the Penglai Sea in the heavenly realm and the Netherworld Palace on earth.

Zhang Wantong and Zhao Chanyang stood beside Lei Jun, looking together at the Abyss of Time which had not changed in the world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the Confucian world across the way, the Abyss of Time that also stretches across the human world has been temporarily sealed by the Confucian saint Yan Aoyun, just like when he temporarily went to the world of demons.

After temporarily sealing the Abyss of Time to prevent the powerful demons from the demon world from invading the Confucian world, Yan Aoyun's main attention was focused on the sky above.

There, the Heavenly Realm, one of the three realms of the universe that had disappeared for about ten thousand years, now reappeared in the vast sky and universe.

Yan Aoyun looked up to the sky with a solemn expression.

The same is true for other great scholars in this world.

In the past, after the great catastrophe in ancient times, the Confucian monks here enjoyed great fortune.

There was once someone who reached the realm of a saintly master. He was an ancestor of the Qiu family in Qi and Lu, who was called Qiuzi by later generations.

That saintly teacher was also the founder of Confucianism for ten thousand years thereafter, and he successfully established the laws and regulations.

Since then, there have been many famous families here that are superior to the Five Surnames and Seven Families elsewhere, and they have lasted for thousands of years.

It was also from that time that the heaven disappeared in the Confucian world.

However, Qiuzi seemed to have left the Confucian world and there has been no news of him since then, until now.

And now there are new holy masters here.

The heavens finally reappeared, and the foundations of the old Confucian teachings and laws were completely destroyed.

Xu Yuanzhen watched with great interest, and Tang Xiaotang's eyes showed curiosity.

The heavens reappeared, shaking the sky and the universe.

The portal that was blurry in the past now becomes clear.

Tianmojing.

"Thank you, Brother Jiao and the two True Lords, for your help." Yan Aoyun spoke while affecting the shaking Tianmojing.

Matters related to the old Confucian learning have been resolved.

At this time, Tianmojing was in turmoil, and he happened to be dealing with another grudge from the past.

The former saint Chengzi, who was both a teacher and a friend to the later saint Yanzi, was severely injured by Tianmojing in the past and eventually died young.

Today, Yan Aoyun, who has become a saintly master, personally breaks through Tianmojing.
