Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 553: Emperor Garden Fist, Taiyi Gudan (two chapters in one)

"Although it is that half of the universe map, it has been refined by the Demon Dragon Emperor. According to his mind, it no longer has its original function."

Lei Jun flipped through the crystal and thought, "No wonder Gao Tianjun has never been able to find this half of the universe map."

On the contrary, if Lei Jun wants to rely on the crystal in hand to search for the other half of the cosmic map mastered by Gao Tiansui, he will also need to refine the current crystal again. It can be roughly predicted that this will take a considerable amount of time.

In comparison, after this half of the universe map was concocted by the Demon Dragon Emperor, Lei Jun thought about it and might try to modify and remake it from another angle to play another role. Although it also takes some years to refine, it will take less time.

He had been improving and perfecting his Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation over the years, and had made quite a few progress. However, to complete some of his ideas, he still needed the support of some unique treasures.

The half of the universe map that has turned into a crystal is exactly what Lei Jun needs right now.

If it is combined with the Three Caves Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation after refining, it may cause wonderful changes in the formation:

It still relies on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but Lei Jun can set up this Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation in other universes.

Because of the attraction of the power of his own universe and the characteristics of the formation, Lei Jun can only deploy the immortal formation in the universe of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But if his previous idea could come true, then Lei Jun would be able to go to the world of demons, the Confucian world, or the Taiyi world to set up the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation.

In this way, other worlds will no longer have any unfavorable terrain for him. The immortal formation is not only used to defend the world of nine heavens and ten earths, but can also play a role in active attack.

It will undoubtedly be of great help to the current situation and Lei Jun personally who has not yet understood the truth.

However, relevant improvements and adaptations will take some years.

Lei Jun is not in a hurry for the time being and focuses on the present.

Before leaving, the Demon Dragon Emperor let out a last long roar at him, which was full of meaning.

"Its last long howl seemed to contain different emotions..." Zhang Wantong also mentioned this.

Although Zhao Chanyang remained silent, his eyes revealed curiosity, and it was obvious that he had noticed something as well.

"You... don't know... what you are going to face... You will all die... You can't escape... Don't even think about having an easy life?" Zhang Wantong said after pondering.

What she studied and learned was special.

The Demon Dragon Emperor let out a long howl mixed with strong emotions. Even if Hua Ming, a real dragon from the same dragon clan, was present at the scene, it would be difficult for him to clearly discern the meaning of his howl.

But Zhang Wantong observed the past and present, and had insight into the information of the past and present, and barely deduced the meaning of the other party's howl, which was half regret and half curse.

As the direct target of the Demonic Dragon Emperor's roar, Lei Jun had a vague understanding of its meaning, but he could feel the other party's complex emotions very clearly:

"Well, it seems that's what it means. As for the reason..."

Lei Jun looked at the cosmic map crystal in his hand, which was still filled with evil spirits.

Whether it was the artistic conception of the treasure that the other party had refined with the help of the mystery of Zhao Chanyang's Taiyi Dao body, or the magic of the Demon Dragon Emperor's own escape today with the help of the crystals of the universe map, they all showed the other party's idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation to hide and escape.

Also, when it faced the "Emperor Heaven" fist intention, it was still stunned and made a timely evasive choice as if its body had already prepared instinctively, and it was relatively accurate and effective.

Referring to the reaction of the Emperor Furnace to Chu Kun and Feng Ting, today it was thoroughly verified that the Demon Dragon Emperor had indeed been beaten by the fist of other "Emperor Heaven" in the past.

Since then, it has been planning how to dodge and avoid similar attacks.

"It seems that besides the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the world of demons, the Confucian world and the Taiyi world, there is indeed another world. It is a world where the top martial arts masters have great fortune, as if the heaven has come again." Zhang Wantong said.

While Lei Jun was keeping the secret for Chu Kun and Feng Ting, he also discussed the general information related to the Emperor Furnace and the "Emperor Heaven" fist with Zhang Wantong, Zhao Chanyang and Yan Aoyun.

At this moment, it was not difficult for them to associate the Imperial Furnace with today's Demonic Dragon Emperor.

Lei Junchong signaled to Zhang Wantong and Zhao Chanyang, asking them to continue paying attention to the movements of the Abyss of Time.

Lei Jun took out the imperial furnace and placed it side by side with the cosmic map crystal.

Although both had been processed initially by Lei Jun, the auras of both sides still attracted each other and formed a vague resonance.

Lei Jun sat in the center of the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation and waved his hands in the air.

The crystal of the cosmic map then quietly floated into the imperial furnace.

The imperial furnace suddenly shook violently.

Lei Jun, who was always paying attention to the Imperial Furnace, also saw changes in the scene in his mind.

The "Emperor Heaven" fist intent that was previously felt from the Emperor Furnace suddenly became much more powerful and real.

Not to mention that it is not easy for ordinary masters of the third level of the fairyland to resist, even Lei Jun with his current cultivation strength feels the pressure.

The pure energy in the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation surged, and suddenly the Three Caves Morality and Mysterious Origin Diagram appeared surrounding Lei Jun, as if it had transformed into a black and white Taoist robe.

Protected by his Taoist robe, Lei Jun did not dodge or resist. He just watched the scene in the imperial furnace quietly like a bystander.

It seemed like a real scene, and it was indeed not directed at Lei Jun, but seemed to be a reproduction of the original scene.

It is engraved deep in the soul of the Demon Dragon Emperor, causing it to tremble from time to time, and it is also engraved as an eternal scene in the depths of the Emperor's furnace.

In the vast universe, at first glance, there is only the human world, and no distinction between the three realms.

All living things live here.

There are both cultivators who cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live and work in it, and there are also big monsters who cultivate evil spirits.

There are frequent fights between humans, humans and monsters, and monsters and monsters, but it looks no different from the rest of the world.

Among them there are also many top-notch experts who have already opened the door to immortality.

Lei Jun took a quick look and found that the human cultivators were indeed led by the martial arts masters.

But at some unknown time, suddenly, the entire world shook violently.

The earthly realm was still missing, but the lost heavenly realm reappeared.

Whether human or demon, most of them were shocked and excited about the reappearance of the heaven and wanted to find out what was going on.

But what they were greeted with was an overwhelming iron fist falling from the sky.

No matter where they are, no matter how skilled they are, it seems that they cannot avoid the fist that seems to completely ignore time and space.

The entire world was hit by a tragic natural disaster.

The targets of boxing are all those who have cultivated themselves. No matter whether they cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the evil spirit of demons, they are all targets to be attacked.

But they don’t care whether it affects ordinary creatures.

In this vast world, there doesn't seem to be anything like the Abyss of Time.

Countless practitioners had no way to escape and died tragically under the iron fist of heaven's punishment.

Only a few top masters try to escape to the outer void.

As long as they are human or monsters that come from this world, no matter where they flee to, the fists will break through the void and continue to chase and attack them, leaving them with no way to escape.

Lei Jun took a rough look and saw only three streams of light, which barely allowed him to avoid the subsequent pursuit.

In a stream of light was the Dongfang Canglong, who was once the strongest demon in that vast world and practiced evil spirits.

It carried the emperor's furnace and fled into the world of demons.

There, the fist intent was still chasing through the imperial furnace, but it was finally a little weaker. Dongfang Canglong also took advantage of the purple star that stole the world and shook the sky river, barely achieving the body of the great saint of the demon clan, but his innate flaws.

In a stream of light, there was an ancient emperor who was one of the top martial immortals of the human race. He was protecting his relatives who had also escaped into the world of demons.

But unlike the Demon Dragon Emperor who was alone, this ancient human martial immortal emperor eventually died of exhaustion under the terrifying fist because of his family.

The scene suddenly appeared, and Lei Jun, watching from the side, only felt that the opponent was very powerful. Although it was inconvenient to directly judge his comprehension, the way he attacked was very similar to the Western Emperor Body, one of the five top martial arts roots recorded in ancient books.

Unfortunately, there are always mountains higher than the other, and the mountains are more brutal.

The ancient martial immortal emperor eventually died under an even more tyrannical iron fist.

But judging from his appearance, Lei Jun guessed that it should be the ancestor of his last disciple Feng Ting.

As for the other streak of light that escaped, it is difficult to say whether it really escaped.

Because there was someone occupying a palace that looked magnificent, flashing golden light, and flying like a meteor.

This golden light even tore apart that vast world, causing the Abyss of Time to suddenly appear.

But the terrifying fist intent seemed to be everywhere, chasing the golden light into the abyss of time and completely shattering the shining palace.

The monks in the palace were all shot dead shortly afterwards, their bodies and souls destroyed.

Only the scattered light after the palace was destroyed continued to float in the abyss of time.

But that world was special, and the abyss of time that suddenly appeared seemed to be closed again by some force.

As the Abyss of Time closed, the scene of the vast world in front of Lei Jun gradually disappeared.

The last scene that remained in Lei Jun's eyes was that most of the practitioners in that vast world, regardless of whether they were good or evil, were basically killed or injured, as if they had never existed.

And the heaven that had sent down the terrifying fist of divine punishment seemed to have returned to silence.

On the contrary, the land that had been invisible underground in the human world seemed to appear for a moment.

And in that fleeting underground world, it was as if a pair of eyes suddenly opened, with no emotions of good or evil, only a cold and domineering look of self-centeredness.

...Imperial Garden.

Just at this moment, this name suddenly appeared in Lei Jun's mind.

Is this the name of the owner of those eyes and fist intent?
Although he did not talk directly with the Demon Dragon Emperor, Lei Jun was able to confirm this through his sense of the natural world.

Even that vast world seemed to be directly named the Imperial Garden World.

This was the case before the Demon Dragon Emperor and his men encountered disaster. It has been like this since ancient times.

"The Imperial Garden... should be the people who appeared there after the division after the ancient catastrophe and the birth of that vast world." Zhang Wantong made a judgment after listening to Lei Jun's general description.

The white light in her pupils kept flickering.

Lei Jun said: "Although the heaven has reappeared over there and then the fist intent from heaven has descended, the most core blockage should be in the earthly realm." The scene of the Feng family's ancestors and the Demon Dragon Emperor at that time should have been that the seal was gradually weakening.

The outer layer of the heaven was "damaged" first, but the inner layer of the earth is still there.

But that was also a long time ago, and I don’t know what the specific situation is now.

The seal should not be completely broken, otherwise the Demon Dragon Emperor would not have been able to live in the world of demons for many years and plan further ways to hide.

But looking at its anxious, anxious, even frustrated and somewhat desperate look, the situation is definitely not optimistic.

"In the Earth Realm, there are too few clues at the moment, so I cannot make a conclusion. I need to at least go to the Demon World and investigate in person before I can make a judgment."

The flashing white light in Zhang Wantong's eyes gradually calmed down: "But now it seems that it may be related to the disappearance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."

Although she said it was not appropriate to make assertions and further verification was needed, Lei Jun intuitively agreed with her judgment.

The Demon Dragon Emperor and the descendants of the Feng family eventually took refuge in the world of demons, and perhaps this was the reason.

That place was once the place where Buddhism flourished after a great catastrophe in ancient times. According to legend, it was because of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

but……

"It's not disrespectful to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but the fist is half-sealed and still has such powerful means. I'm afraid Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva alone is not enough to seal the opponent there." Lei Junyan said.

Zhang Wantong: “The historical truth needs to be further explored.”

Zhao Chanyang, who had been listening silently, suddenly asked softly, "Could it be that the transcendent Buddha has returned?"

Lei Jun: "There is no similar precedent, otherwise there would not be a catastrophe at the end of the ancient times, but it is not completely impossible. As Mr. Zhang said, we cannot make a conclusion yet."

Zhao Chanyang nodded slightly.

Chu Kun, who was at the ancestral temple of Mount Longhu, got in touch with Lei Jun and solved the mystery that had been in his mind for a long time:

"My relationship with the Abyss of Time seems to be that the palace was shattered by that... Imperial Garden and turned into a stream of light that fell into the Abyss of Time.

I was able to open up a cave in the Abyss of Time, probably because of this."

Lei Jun: "The reasons are similar, but the specific details are still unclear."

Chu Kun sighed softly: "After all, I am still a person from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. I just have some connections with them. As for Junior Brother Hua Ting..."

Lei Jun: "Later, I will tell him the relevant things in person. Hua Ting is calm and should be able to control his mind. As for that world, we will continue to explore and understand it later, but we still focus on improving ourselves."

Chu Kun: "That's what senior brother said."

The owner of that fist intent and that pair of eyes must be a martial arts saint emperor without a doubt, and he is also a leader in that realm.

"Besides, maybe I'll have the opportunity to congratulate you again in the future." Lei Jun changed the subject.

Chu Kun roughly knew what Lei Jun meant.

That palace shattered into streams of light, creating the current relationship between Chu Kun and Zhi Yuan.

As time goes by, as his cultivation level increases, as the Abyss of Time and the universe change, although the palace may not reappear, if some things come together to form a tower, he, Chu, may be able to get a great opportunity.

The great rules before and the continuous changes in the abyss of time afterwards were of invisible help to him.

It would have been fine in the early years. It only took Chu Kun a little over fifty years from the time he completed the first level of the Ninth Heaven to the time he ascended to immortality.

Although this speed is still far from Zhao Chanyang and Lei Jun, it is already far beyond most people, and is even close to Tang Xiaotang's speed back then.

Chu Kun was able to ascend to heaven in the same year as his master Yuan Mobai, and it became a story celebrated by the whole world. It was indeed due to his good fortune.

In addition to his own comprehension which had already been elevated from the transparent level to the quiet level during this period of time, and which worked together with the Tianhe immortal body, there was additional help from the Great Law and the Abyss of Time, which ultimately enabled Chu Kun to successfully open the door to immortality in just over fifty-one years.

“Brother, you’re too polite. I can’t have too high expectations for this kind of thing. Let’s just take things as they come. I’ll be thankful if nothing bad happens.” Chu Kun sighed.

Lei Jun: "We share the same wish."

Not long after, the latest news came back from the Confucian world.

Yan Aoyun temporarily retreated from the Taiyi Universe.

The Hundred-Eyed Demonic Tree was rampaging wildly in the Abyss of Time, attempting to break through the restrictions left by Yan Aoyun and invade the world of Confucianism.

Although Yan Aoyun's restriction has not been broken yet, under the continuous attack of a powerful being like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, the restriction is destined to last only for a limited time.

However, after Yan Aoyun left the Taiyi World, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree also retreated, further confirming its relationship with the Taiyi World.

"The one who caused the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Great Venerable and other Buddhist masters to become possessed by demons should be the Taiyi Dao Venerable."

Lei Junyan said: "Its strength is not comparable to the current Demon Dragon Emperor, Hundred Eyes Demon Tree, and Great Destruction Bodhisattva. Yan Zi can't do much to deal with him for the time being, especially since that world is strange and controlled by Taiyi Daozun. The best strategy is to understand the situation first and then retreat. Knowing yourself and the enemy before making plans is undoubtedly the best strategy."

Zhang Wantong nodded slightly.

Zhao Chanyang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Lei Jun knew what the other party was curious about, and explained: "Although it took some trouble, Yan Zi is fine after returning to the Rulin World. We can safely drive away the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree at the entrance of the Abyss of Time. The Liuhe Taiyi Daozun seems to be unable to leave that Taiyi World for some reason, or it is unwilling to leave that World."

Before this, the other party had never appeared in other worlds, but there were many extraterritorial demons scattered around, most likely for similar reasons.

As for how it "polluted" the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Great Lord, the specific details are unclear.

It could be that Taiyi Daozun had the opportunity to go out and act in secret, or it could be that the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Great Zun once left his original universe and mistakenly entered the Taiyi Universe.

"It is exactly as expected. It is closely related to our Dao Sect. The reason is that it devoured and melted the remains of a Taoist master. It was not achieved overnight. It was a process. This may be the reason why it has been stuck in that world and cannot leave."

Lei Jun glanced at Zhao Chanyang and said softly, "Yan Zi fought it face to face this time. Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Tang of our sect also observed it. It is very likely... the Grandmaster Chunyang."

Zhang Wantong nodded silently.

Zhao Chanyang also remained silent after hearing this.

Taoism is divided into several different inheritances. Among them, talismans and alchemy cauldrons have a long history and were born in ancient times. At that time, the exchanges between the two sides were also close.

Therefore, when Taoist disciples in later generations mentioned "Chun Yang Patriarch", they usually referred to the founder of Chun Yang Palace who created the Taoist alchemy lineage.

Customarily, later generations do not call him Chunyang Tianzun or Chunyang Daozun, but Chunyang Taoist or Chunyang Patriarch.

There was no news of this person after the great catastrophe in ancient times. He disappeared without a trace and no one knows his exact whereabouts.

There are rumors that he, like Zu Tianshi, has passed away along with the Three Pure Ones, and there are also rumors that they all perished in the ancient catastrophe.

There are so many complicated pieces of information that it has been difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. Now, after so many years, it has almost become a legend.

But now, the legend seems to have finally come to fruition.

But this news makes people sigh.

Even though Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang were not descendants of the Chunyang Palace, as both were Taoists, they both had mixed feelings when they heard this.

"Then do you know who this witch god is who devoured and refined the remains of Chunyang?" Zhao Chanyang asked softly after a while.

Zhang Wantong: "The specific background is still unknown, but it is clear that he is proficient in witchcraft. It is very likely that the ancient Gu God is still alive. However, it is complicated and cannot be determined at present, especially when it involves the Hundred Eyes Demon Tree in the world of demons, which makes it even more suspicious."

Zhao Chanyang understood what Zhang Wantong meant.

The Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Great Lord was possessed by the devil and turned into the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, which had a lot to do with the evil spirit and atmosphere.

The ancient Gu God has been active for a long time and is mysterious itself, so little news about him is circulated nowadays.

Zhang Wantong was able to get a glimpse of some information.

As far as she knew, the ancient Gu God should be cultivating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now, its relationship with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree is very interesting.

"The Taiyi World has a righteous name, but the current situation is not much better than the world of demons." Lei Jun said indifferently.

There are also demons everywhere, killing and blood everywhere.

Although the human cultivators there cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they are easily infected by demonic energy and evil aura. The overall environment of the universe is the same as the world of demons. The demonic energy and evil aura are more intense and active, overwhelming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

People struggle to survive in it, trying to fight against the dangerous environment and powerful demons.

A considerable proportion of the demons there, like the Buddhist disciples who have been possessed by demons in the demon world, are local monks who have gone mad and become possessed.

On the surface, the Taiyi World lives up to its name.

The most powerful ones there are the Taoist monks, but not the Taoist Talisman School, nor the Taoist Alchemy School, or the later-born Weapon Refining School, Yanshi School, etc.

Instead, it is a talisman inheritance similar to that of Luofu Mountain in the Confucian world.

There are numerous sects and powerful factions, and they work hard to protect the people on earth from the invasion of demons.

But in addition to facing the threat of external demons, they also have to work hard to avoid being possessed by the demons and becoming part of the demon world.

struggling to support.

Practice hard.

The only thing that can still support everyone's hope is the existence of Taiyi Daozun, who is worshipped by thousands of families and respectfully called the God.

When the demons in the world were wreaking havoc, the gods sent down rain to subdue the demons, save the people from suffering, and allow the practitioners and human civilization here to continue.

The desire to survive and become immortal constantly spurs on the cultivators in the Taiyi Universe, but few have succeeded.

It was as if the door to the fairyland had been completely closed.

“But actually, there is.”

Lei Jun said slowly: "These cultivators who are called Fudan or Danfu may be more appropriately called Gudan. The golden elixir is like an insect egg, the Yuanying is like a pupa, and the immortal is like a butterfly.

The number is not particularly large, but after thousands of years of accumulation, the scale is actually much larger than our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand Worlds.”

Zhao Chanyang's eyes moved back and forth between Lei Jun and Zhang Wantong.

Zhang Wantong nodded: "Yes, those extraterritorial demons in the Confucian world."
