Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 563: The origin of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster (562-word chapter)

When he reached the state of ultimate truth, Lei Jun felt that the universe and the world before him had undergone other changes.

Having achieved the state of infinity and reached the realm of truth, all the principles of the universe are clearly visible before Lei Jun's eyes.

From some perspectives, it is acceptable to regard him as the Buddha, the Confucian saint, the martial arts saint, the witch god, or even a great sage who was transformed from demons and immortals.

From then on, he has been high above the sky, living as long as nature, going through countless calamities without getting old or dying, neither born nor destroyed. Under normal circumstances, he is no longer limited by time and lifespan.

As for abnormal situations...

Unfortunately, for various reasons, there are many examples in history.

Lei Jun, who had reached the realm of Dongzhen, did not look pleased.

Even though he had achieved the realm of Dongzhen with his Wuji attitude and had been ahead of most of his predecessors on this road from the very beginning, Lei Jun was still calm at the moment.

If there is some joy, it is because many of the ideas that he had during his time in the third level of the fairyland can now be put into practice one after another.

At this moment, in front of Lei Jun, mysterious invisible and colorless air currents were intertwined, but no specific image could be seen.

But the artistic conception revealed there is like... a "door".

A "door" that had never existed in the world before, a "door" created by Lei Jun.

The mysteries of the world are constantly revealed in it.

Lei Jun sat opposite the "door", and all the changes in the world and his own Taoist knowledge seemed to be reflected in it.

Having achieved the state of Wuji, Lei Jun, when he was in the third level of fairyland and had not yet reached the state of enlightenment, had already constructed a preliminary idea of ​​the Tao formula after he achieved the state of enlightenment. He was unlike Gao Tiansui, Yan Aoyun and others who had to really open the door to Taoism before they could gain some understanding.

And now, this elusive and unfathomable "portal" is the manifestation of the Tao that Lei Jun realized after he reached the realm of Dongzhen.

After his initial exploration of the subject, Lei Jun thought about it carefully and further perfected and improved it.

Until he was moved and sensed the arrival of a familiar person outside the Wanfa Sect altar.

Lei Jun stood up.

But the "portal" has not disappeared and still remains in this world.

When he came out of the Wanfa Sect Altar, he saw that except Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai, Wang Guiyuan, Chu Kun, Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei, Feng Ting and others were all present.

Yuan Mobai was smiling as usual, but compared to usual, there was more admiration and emotion in his smile.

Although he had expected this, he was still very nervous at this moment.

"Master, I hope you are well." Yuan Mobai was the first to bow.

Beside him, Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun made the same gesture: "Master, I wish you good health."

From today on, there will no longer be Lei Tianjun.

Only Thunder Lord.

Tang Xiaotang looked at Lei Jun, her eyes full of envy and yearning.

However, today she also bowed to Lei Jun in a Taoist way: "Congratulations, Lord Lei."

This is the first time since the Heavenly Master's succession ceremony.

Behind Yuan Mobai, Tang Xiaotang and others, Zhuo Baojie, along with his junior sister Han Xiaofei and junior brother Feng Ting, saluted respectfully to Lei Jun:

"Congratulations to Master for completing his mission and attaining the truth!"

After Lei Jun returned the greetings to everyone, the Heaven-Connecting and Earth-Connecting Dharma Talisman flashed with light in his pupils, and a human figure condensed out of light and shadow outside, which was Xu Yuanzhen.

Xu Yuanzhen's voice came: "Congratulations."

Lei Jun: "I'll go ahead and wait for you."

Tang Xiaotang asked, "What are your plans, Lei Jun, in the Diyuan World?"

Lei Jun: "No need to change. The sixty-year period is only halfway through. We will just wait for another thirty years."

Wang Guiyuan pondered and asked, "Brother Lei, your situation is not comparable to Yan Zi and the Taiyi Wuzun and the Demon Dragon Emperor. Maybe you can try to strengthen and continue the seal of the Emperor's Circle World?"

Lei Jun: "There is a certain chance, but it may also cause the seal to break and unlock prematurely. The chance is 50-50."

However, if he did that, he would need to focus all his attention and energy on sealing the Emperor's World, which would inevitably delay his own practice.

If you succeed, that's enough.

If you fail, you will face the Emperor Circle that has broken the seal.

The other party is a martial arts saint emperor with the appearance of an emperor, just like the ancient emperor coming back to life.

Although he experienced a great war and was suppressed for thousands of years afterwards, it has undoubtedly been many years since then that he has reached his current realm.

Lei Jun will not belittle himself, but he will not be blinded by his reaching the realm of Dongzhen with his Wuji status.

Currently, he can face Di Yuan himself.

For Di Yuan, Lei Jun will also be an unprecedentedly powerful opponent.

The outcome is unknown to both sides before the actual confrontation.

However, if Emperor Yuan were to sweep through the worlds and attack other people as he did before, he would be a huge threat.

"This problem needs to be solved eventually." Lei Junping said calmly: "I have some ideas in mind, but it will take some time to prepare."

Tang Xiaotang thought for a moment: "You mentioned before, the improved formation?"

Lei Jun: “Well, that’s part of it.”

As he spoke, with him as the center, the mysterious aura circulated and the Three Caves and Three Days Taixuan Yuanshi Formation had already unfolded.

Unlike the earlier Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation, the new formation seemed to be between existence and non-existence, quietly placed within the realm of the Three Purities and Three Treasures, without causing any impact on the surrounding world.

Although spiritual treasures such as the Soil of Six Harmonies have turned into the seal of the Emperor's Circular World, as if they had disappeared in this created universe, but the moment the great formation was established, it had already circulated not only the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also the power of the universe outside the domain, and even the void.

Lei Jun was in the middle of it, and without him having to think, the formation had already vaguely split into three.

There seemed to be no concept of time and space in the formation, and speed and direction had lost their meaning.

The large formation divided into three parts looks neither like a tripod standing on a flat surface nor like layers stacked up and down.

Separated from each other, yet seem closely united.

Chu Kun was shocked: "The three Qis of Xuan, Yuan and Shi interact with each other, and the Jade Pure Realm of Qingwei Heaven, the Upper Pure Realm of Yuyu Heaven, and the Great Pure Realm of Dachi Heaven are clearly distinguished... Senior brother is so generous, the Three Heavens and Three Treasures Realm that have not existed since ancient times have reappeared in the world!"

If we say that the current location of the Wandashi Altar and the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave where everyone is located are the result of acquired condensation.

Now, the Three Heavens and Three Treasures Realm that Lei Jun has evolved with the great formation seems to have returned to the wonders of innate creation.

Lei Junyan said: "Imitating the Three Pure Ones' transformation of the Three Qi in the past, killing lives to protect the Dao may be a bit abrupt and disrespectful, so I need to apologize to the master in advance."

"Good formation." Xu Yuanzhen's voice came from the light and shadow.

After Tang Xiaotang took a turn in the formation, he guessed, "You mentioned that you had other plans for keeping the Gu God, Zu Taotie, and the Great Destroyer Bodhisattva. Could it be that you were referring to this place?"

Lei Jun: "Ancestor Taotie, Ancestor Qiongqi, Gushen, and Demon Dragon Emperor are the most suitable, but Ancestor Qiongqi and Demon Dragon Emperor are no longer here, so I'll ask Bodhisattva Da Mie to put together a copy. Based on his past deeds, he won't be defeated."

Tang Xiaotang: "When the Emperor's Circle world reappears, the universe of creation will be in turmoil. They can no longer hide and will be forced to show up."

Although Wang Guiyuan was currently wearing a crimson Taoist robe, he could not help but put his palms together when thinking of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Great Destruction Tathagata, as well as the various things in the Pure Land before:

"My Buddha is merciful."

After a brief thought, he said, "With this formation, I do feel more confident, but I still feel a little unstable..."

Lei Jun nodded: "Well, this is part of it, there are others..."

The Three Caves and Three Days Taixuan Yuanshi Formation did not converge.

In the formation, Lei Jun raised his hand, and streams of light appeared in his palm.

Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei and Feng Ting saw each other and felt familiar with each other.

They all had their mentor Lei Jun temporarily pass on three treasures: the Shangqing Yuchen Immortal Bamboo, the Taiqing Eight Scenes Treasure Straw Hat and the Yuqing Zhoutian Magic Mirror.

The current stream of light in Lei Jun's hand is the combination of the three treasures.

After Lei Jun achieved the state of Wuji, but before he achieved the state of Dongzhen, he already had an idea of ​​the strategy for his sacrifice and training.

When he finally attained enlightenment, he began to formally refine his magic weapon.

When it fell into his palm, the mysterious light gradually faded away, as if it was undergoing the cleansing of an invisible mysterious Qi.

It didn't take too long before the light faded away and the true appearance of the treasure was revealed:
However, it was a bamboo branch whose length and number of nodes far exceeded those of the Shangqing Yuchen Immortal Bamboo.

During the third level of Lei Jun's fairyland, the Shangqing Yuchen Immortal Bamboo has twelve sections long.

As one of Lei Jun's magic weapons for achieving enlightenment, this treasure corresponds to Lei Jun's cultivation process of the ninth level of the Cave God and the third level of the Fairyland.

And now this bamboo branch is divided into thirty-six sections.

In the eyes of mortals, it is just an unusually long emerald green bamboo stick.

But to the Taoist immortals present at the scene, it seemed as if they were looking up at the sky.

Every bamboo joint seems like a palace in heaven or a fairyland.

And now, they are condensed and gathered together, and just looking at them makes people feel extremely heavy, as if no part of the world can bear it.

Yet it seemed extremely light, like an elusive mysterious energy, going straight up, passing through the layers of heaven and leading to beyond the sky.

"Does it correspond to the thirty-six heavens?" Yuan Mobai asked softly.

Lei Jun: "That's true. I call it the Thirty-Six Heavens Taixuan Yuanshi Immortal Bamboo."

Everyone was silent, all focused on looking at the treasure that seemed to be the condensation and manifestation of the Taoist thirty-six heavens.

Just observing and looking at this treasure can bring great benefits to Taoist practitioners.

Especially when Lei Jun's eldest disciple Zhuo Baojie came to his senses, he bowed to Lei Jun and said, "Thanks to Master's guidance, I feel it in my heart, and I am more confident in the profound and profound."

Lei Jun smiled and said, "The master will give a lecture next. After you listen to it, it won't be too late to go into seclusion again."

Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, Master!"

When the news that Lei Jun had reached the realm of Dongzhen and was about to start preaching spread, the entire universe was shaken.

The seal of the Emperor's World will be broken in half a century.

Before this, the Gu God, the Taotie Ancestor, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva and the like were not included.

Gao Tian died with him.

Yan Aoyun was silent.

The strength and threats of the Emperor Yuan always make people feel like a dark cloud is pressing down on their heads, and the closer the time gets, the more suffocating they feel.

And now, a new Taoist Tianzun has finally been born, and he is the legendary Lei Tianzun.

The dark clouds in everyone's hearts were suddenly blown away as if by a breeze.

The whole world is rejoicing.

Upon learning that Thunder Lord was about to give a lecture, many people rushed to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The ancestral temple of Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Lei Jun did not wait until the last moment to show up. When all the guests arrived, he was already on the Dragon and Tiger Sect Altar. He seemed to be in auspicious clouds, looming in and out of sight. Above his head was a colorful crane canopy that seemed to be waving in the sky, reaching the heavens and the earth.

Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei and Feng Ting, dressed in purple Taoist robes, stood behind Lei Jun.

Chi Haifeng, the contemporary Heavenly Master, who was wearing a nine-colored Li Luo robe, a Yuanshi crown on his head, and a white jade seal and a purple thunder sword on his waist, led other high-ranking elders of Mount Longhu to stand on one side, acting as receptionist and welcoming and seeing off guests.

"Sit for three days and stay away from dust and dirt; observe the three realms and save all people. Assist the mysterious Tao and enlighten all living beings. You are the Master of the Three Caves and Three Days, the Supreme Wuji Tianzun." Bai Mei, the founder of Shushan, was the first to arrive this time and saluted Lei Jun.

Lei Jun calmly returned the greeting: "I am disturbing Master Bai's peace."

Afterwards, white clouds and colorful light appeared from two directions but arrived at the same time.

The white clouds and mist finally dispersed, revealing a young Taoist priest in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was none other than Zhao Chanyang, a Taoist master of the Danding Sect who was at the third level of the fairyland.

In the colorful light, there appeared a golden figure about six feet tall, with extremely long tail feathers and five words on his body. It was none other than the Phoenix Saint Feng Ming.

Both the man and the phoenix saluted Lei Jun, and Lei Jun returned the salute.

"Sit in the three heavens and stay away from the dust and dirt; observe the three realms and save all people. Assist the mysterious Tao and enlighten all living beings. You are the Master of the Three Caves and Three Heavens, the Supreme Wuji Tianzun." Tianshu and other golden-bodied Buddhist masters who came from the Pure Land also put their palms together and saluted Lei Jun.

Venerable Ruyuan also returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but missed the path of Venerable Tongtianshu and the others.

On the witch clan side, Sun Li, Li Tianqing and Zhao Qianran, who had successfully cultivated to the second level of the immortal realm, came together.

Huangfu Qi, Xing Feng, Qiao Yang and others were also on the list.

There are even Li Jin and Li Ying who are from the Jiuli tribe.

Warriors including Xiao Xueting, Shen Qubing, Shangguan Yunbo, Luo Hai, etc.

Great scholars such as Zhang Hui, Chu Yu, Zhu Junjie, Li Feiyang, and Wang Buzhi.

Most of the leaders of various sects and top cultivators in the world rushed to Mount Longhu upon hearing the news.

On the Taoist side, after Bai Mei and Zhao Chanyang, almost all the top masters were present.

"Master, I hope you are well." All the Taoists bowed and greeted the figure under the ten-colored crane canopy with the most solemn etiquette.

"No need to formalize, fellow practitioners." Lei Jun raised his hand and supported everyone.

He spoke calmly, like a gentle breeze, unheard of by the common people, but all the monks in all directions heard it clearly, a mysterious voice that seemed to rise directly from the bottom of everyone's heart:
"I have been practicing recently and have gained something new, so I am opening a forum. I am not bound by the Taoist tradition and I am bothering fellow Taoists from all over the world."

Including Bai Mei, Zhao Chanyang, and Fenghuang Fengming, everyone responded with greetings: "Thunder Lord, you are too kind."

"Let's begin." Lei Jun was informal and didn't say much. His actions were somewhat casual, and he enjoyed the fun of heaven and earth. He then discussed various principles, not just Taoism, but also a wide range of Taoist traditions.

Upon hearing this, the monks from various sects seemed to have cleared up many of the confusions and difficulties they had previously encountered in their practice with just a few words.

Xing Feng, who had already resigned as the head of the Xuehe Sect of the Wu Sect, had a glittering look in his eyes and smiled softly to Li Tianqing beside him:

"Master of the Dao Sect, please solve my doubts. After this trip, I will return to the underworld to practice seclusion."

Li Tianqing smiled upon hearing this: "Then I congratulate you in advance and wish you success and further success."

He was in the second level of fairyland and was also very excited and benefited a lot from listening to Lei Jun's words.

Xiao Xueting, Shen Qubing, Chu Yu, Fang Yue, Zhou Pu and others present also had shining eyes. Some bowed their heads in contemplation, some were overjoyed, and some even hurriedly saluted Lei Jun and said goodbye, without staying for a moment, and immediately returned to practice in seclusion.

Even many great scholars of the new school of thought in the Confucian world rushed to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths upon hearing the news.

Zhang Wantong, Jiao Feiyang and Xiao Chunhui did not go.

They have to help Yan Aoyun recover as soon as possible and must not be distracted at the moment.

However, after hearing the news, they also sent representatives to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to congratulate Lei Jun.

The Emperor's World will be unsealed in thirty years. Lei Jun has achieved the status of the Supreme Lord of the True World, which has largely dispelled the gloom in everyone's heart.

“Up to now, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has surpassed any period after the ancient catastrophe, and can be compared with the ancient heyday recorded in history books.” Jiao Feiyang sighed.

Zhang Wantong nodded.

Lei Jun, the celestial master in the realm of Dongzhen.

Tang Xiaotang and Xu Yuanzhen, the celestial monarchs who returned to the Pure Land from the third day of the Dongxuan Ziwei Heaven.

Dongxuan Taiwei, Yuan Mobai, Chu Kun, and Chi Haifeng, the second level of the fairyland.

In Dongxuantian City, Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei, Feng Ting, Qin Caiwei, Cheng Rongrong, Xin Beiyuan, and An Buzheng opened the immortal gate.

Up to now, the lineage of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is led by Lei Tianzun, who opened the door to Taoism, and there are twelve Dongxuan immortals who opened the door to immortality. They are from the same faction.

This does not include Wang Guiyuan who has attained the Golden Body of Buddhism and Kang Ming from Huang Tiandao.

Such a momentum is unique in the world.

Even in the Confucian world, the new Confucianism is a general term, and within it there are also various schools of thought and academies. The Jiangdong School led by Yan Aoyun did not have such a prosperous atmosphere in the past.

Xiao Chunhui smiled and said, "Thunder Lord, Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, and the Dao Sect have indeed gained great fortune in this era."

Later in the evening, the Longhushan Dharma Assembly where Lei Tianzun gave a lecture ended.

His direct disciple, An Buzheng, the abbot of Tiandu Temple, a holy place of Taoist in Rulin Daqian, returned to Rulin Daqian from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He brought a Dharma scroll and came to meet Zhang Wantong and others: "Three laymen, I am here on the orders of the head teacher to deliver this Dharma scroll."

Zhang Wantong, who had already communicated with Lei Jun, took the talisman and said, "Please thank Master Lei for me. With his help, Yan Zidang will be able to return earlier than expected."

Jiao Feiyang and Xiao Chunhui also expressed their gratitude.

After the ceremony was over, Lei Jun left the human world and returned to the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave in the Penglai Sea in heaven.

He continued to focus on his own cultivation, preparing for the reopening of the Imperial World after half a century.

Tang Xiaotang, Xu Yuanzhen, and Wang Guiyuan returned from time to time to communicate and coordinate with Lei Jun to make various plans for the future.

Time is like water, years are like a shuttle.

For Yu Leijun personally, time is something he has lost track of.

But to the outside world, after a period of gestation and settling, the influence of Lei Tianzun's previous lectures began to gradually become apparent.

The first was Lei Jun’s own founding disciple, the former Heavenly Master Zhuo Baojie.

Not long after his master gave his lecture, Taoist Master Bi Huangzi went into seclusion to practice meditation.

He spent five years in seclusion.

In the year when Lei Jun celebrated his 275th birthday, all Taoist talisman monks who had cultivated to the Shenting Universe realm or above were shocked.

That means a new immortal from the talisman school who has reached the second level of the immortal realm of Dongxuan Taiwei has been born.

The former Heavenly Master Zhuo Baojie came out of retreat successfully and made further progress, reaching the second level of cultivation in the immortal realm.

He went to the Sanqing Sanbao Cave to express his gratitude and greetings to his mentor Lei Jun.

Lei Jun smiled and said, "Baobao has caught up with Monk Xiao Meng this time."

Like Zhang Wantong and others, Meng Shaojie is one of the few masters from the fairyland who did not participate in the Longhu Mountain Dharma Assembly five years ago.

It was not that he was unwilling to come, but he happened to be studying behind closed doors at that time, making final preparations to achieve the second level of Confucian sage.

This year, he finally succeeded in taking this step.

After coming out of isolation, Meng Shaojie heard the news from the outside world and rushed to meet Lei Jun to make up for his belated congratulations. He had just left not long ago.

Over seventy years ago, Meng Shaojie and Zhuo Baojie ascended to heaven one after another.

The former was slightly faster at first, but now the gap between the two is basically negligible.

"Mr. Meng and Mr. Tianrui have developed a new school of thought together. Their natural talent has also been reflected by the great Dao of heaven and earth, which is beyond the reach of their disciples."

Zhuo Baojie said: "Thanks to my teacher's guidance, I am now where I am today."

To a large extent, Meng Shaojie's teacher was Zhang Wantong.

It is often commented that Zhuo Baojie is luckier than his master Yuan Mobai in that his mentor Lei Jun is far more capable than Yuan Mobai's teacher.

There is no need to explain the talent and strength of Tianrui lay Buddhist Zhang Wantong.

Zhuo Baojie could not have expected in his early years that he would be able to benefit from the advantage of his own master in his "competition" with Meng Shaojie today.

Chu Kun, who had also recently returned to the Three Pure Ones Three Treasures Cave to practice, smiled and said, "Brother, it's still a little late for you to reach the realm of the Cave of Truth. If you were earlier, Junior Brother Huajie might be able to surpass Master Meng."

Lei Jun nodded: "Yeah, blame me."

Zhuo Baojie stood aside and treated it calmly, having long been accustomed to the immaturity of his master and uncle.

But Lei Jun continued, "Besides hugging this, Third Junior Brother, you got the Seven Treasures Beams too late, otherwise you would have achieved the natural level of enlightenment earlier, and I think you could have achieved the Mysterious Taiwei like Xu Hai.

The past is a lesson for the future, and we should always be vigilant. After the death of Gao Tianzun, the Taisu Dao Body was missing, and your Tianhe Xian Body has a chance. I hope we can make up for it as soon as possible. "

Chu Kun smiled bitterly: "Okay, Senior Brother, I can't argue with you, let's just do as usual and go with the flow."

Lei Jun: "I'm talking about serious matters."

Chu Kun sighed: "We haven't even started yet, how can we be sure of this?"

Lei Jun looked into the distance, his sight seemed to pass through the boundaries of the cave and into the vast void of the universe: "Yes, the future is the most difficult to grasp."

At his current state, there are countless secrets of the past, present and future, just like observing the lines on the palm of his hand, and there are few secrets left.

Many of the future directions of nature's great changes also appear clear.

But as for the future, there are still some variables, either from a small number of people similar to yourself, or from yourself.

Lei Jun's mind is clear.

Under the invisible mystery of Chu Kun and Zhuo Baojie, a ball of light no longer appeared in the depths of Lei Jun's mind, but seemed to appear directly in front of him.

With such a level of cultivation and natural strength, the ball of light in front of Lei Jun finally began to become clearer.

Under the light, it looked like a book written on bamboo slips.

Lei Jun had tried to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune many times before, and every time he saw the fortune sticks, it seemed as if the bamboo sticks were being peeled off from the bamboo slips one by one.

But the bamboo slips still look intact at this moment, as if the bamboo sticks falling off from them have no effect on the whole, neither adding nor subtracting anything.

There is no famous name in the bamboo slips books.

Under Lei Jun's gaze, the rolled up bamboo slips slowly unfolded.

It was blank at first.

As Lei Jun looked at it, a large number of mysterious markings and symbols began to change their arrangement on it, without staying still for a moment.

The marking symbols are more like talismans, which are different from the common characters in the world, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

But in Lei Jun's eyes, he could see that this was a very standard teaching of the ancient talisman school.

He suddenly smiled.

In the past, it was difficult to deal with these bamboo slips or light balls.

Every time the symbol information was fixed, it was converted into text content that Lei Jun could clearly see in the past.

Even the choice of words and sentences are in line with Lei Jun's usual thinking and cognitive habits.

Lei Jun looked at the unfolded bamboo slips calmly.

His gaze continued forward, as if passing through the bamboo slips. His eyes not only passed through the illusory space, but also went upstream through the long river of time.

Behind the bamboo slips, Lei Jun vaguely saw a figure.

The other party was also wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat, with two male and female swords and a jade seal hanging from his waist. Three-hole magic scrolls and various spiritual texts were surrounding his body. Above his body, there was also a colorful crane canopy. Under the flowing light, strands of clear air hung in all directions.

Lei Jun nodded slightly and saluted the other party.

As the successor of the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun was very familiar with this figure.

The founder of Mount Longhu, the first Heavenly Master in history, and also the founder of the Taoist Talisman School. He was the first and only Taoist acquired Wuji before Lei Jun.

He left behind many legends, but most of them were lost in the dust of history, making it difficult for later generations to get a glimpse of his true thoughts.

The ancient Heavenly Palace is closely related to the Taoist Talisman Sect and the entanglement between them is profound.

Zu Tianshi also held an important position in the ancient heavenly palace and was rumored to have a close relationship with the Emperor of Heaven.

The inheritance of ancient talismans played a vital role in the establishment of the laws of the Heavenly Palace.

The first time the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion declined after the ancient catastrophe was because of its deep entanglement with the Heavenly Palace.

After the catastrophe, the former owners of the Heavenly Palace wanted to restore it, which was also the reason they excavated the remains of the Heavenly Palace and discovered the heritage of the ancient talisman school.

but……

Zu Tianshi also died because of his opposition to Huangtian, and he was one of the earliest Taoist Dongzhen Tianzun to die.

Fortunately, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

But the backup plan does not lie in one’s own rebirth.

But to earn a chance for future generations.

Ever since the Supreme God of Heaven came to rule over the universe and dominated the three realms, he had a profound influence on Taoism, and the Taoist method of fortune-telling has become history.

As for other Taoist traditions, they also gradually declined.

After the death of the Patriarch Tianshi, the Emperor of Heaven no longer had this ability, which laid the foundation for his ultimate defeat.

Strictly speaking, just like Lei Jun now, the Emperor can see most of the changes in the world, past and future.

However, the higher the level of cultivation of the people involved, the more difficult it is to see clearly.

As a result, He missed the most crucial opportunity.

For top masters with such high cultivation strength, victory or failure often depends on this slight chance.

The ancestor Tianshi himself was unable to transcend and died, but he sent that glimmer of hope beyond the universe of creation, to a more distant world.

However, this glimmer of hope will eventually return here.

It may only take a moment to return.

It may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years before we see it again.

All of this is not something that Master Zu Tianshi can decide.

If we return quickly, we may still fall into the hands of the Supreme God, and the entire course of history of the universe will surely be changed.

However, this chance of success ultimately came too late.

And also bring back a person who does not belong to this world, does not belong to the nine heavens and ten earths, and does not belong to this universe.

"The movement of Qi is the most miraculous thing in the world." Lei Jun stared at the unfolded bamboo slips and suddenly laughed.

Senior sister Xu Yuanzhen does whatever she wants, likes and dislikes as she pleases and is indifferent and aloof.

Junior sister Tang Xiaotang was eager to compete with him, but Xu Yuanzhen didn't really care about winning or losing. He was more enjoying the constant sparks of inspiration from the exchanges and discussions with Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun and others.

However, if she can win, she will not lose.

Neither Tang Xiaotang nor Lei Jun are her enemies.

As for her enemies, she treated them with a different standard.

Therefore, even if she was really overshadowed by Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun, she didn't care much.

Since they met, Lei Jun had only one memory of this senior sister really breaking down his defense. She only realized in her early years that she was initially connected with Lei Jun because of the Heavenly Master Seal, but she misjudged it at that time and missed the opportunity to get it.

Her defense was broken because of her own mistake, not because of winning or losing with others.

But actually...

The two of them got together not because of the Heavenly Master Seal, or rather, it was not entirely because of the Heavenly Master Seal.

Lei Jun burst out laughing.

He shook his head slightly, collected his thoughts, and continued to browse the bamboo slips.

With his current level of cultivation and strength, the various mysteries recorded in the bamboo slips are no longer a secret to him, and he can deduce most of them based on his own cultivation.

To a certain extent, the same is true for the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven.

Therefore, when the Emperor's universe was reopened for the first time more than thirty years ago, although the bamboo slips and light ball had initially predicted it, Emperor's universe also felt a sense of it.

This creates variables, making the future even more difficult to predict.

However, He was predicted after all.

In the past, the ancestor Tianshi sent this chance of opportunity to outside the universe of creation, and it returned later. Although it is not true transcendence, it is not limited by the current universe of creation.

At this moment, Lei Jun completely understood the secret of the bamboo slips' light ball. He combined it with what he knew and saw, and verified it with his own knowledge. Endless inspiration burst out in his mind.

Lei Jun stared at the bamboo slips in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, the real Him reached forward.

His hand seemed to reach into an illusory "portal".

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the same "door" appeared next to the shining bamboo slips, and then Lei Jun's palm appeared and grabbed the bamboo slips.

Next, take out the bamboo slips.

The illusory existence, at this moment, condensed into a entity in Lei Jun's palm.

Continuing to browse the bamboo slips, Lei Jun gained more.

By browsing the bamboo slips, his mind gradually ascended, leaving the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave Heaven, leaving the Penglai Sea, leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand Worlds, and entering the void outside the domain.

Then, rise further.

He felt as if for a moment he had left the entire universe and was heading out into the sky.

Going in the direction from which He had come.

In the other side of the universe, a blue planet appeared in Lei Jun's sight.

He seemed to be isolated from the world and fell into it silently.

The two sides created the universe, and there are huge differences in the basic laws and principles, which leads to distortion.

For Yu Leijun personally, since the moment he left, time in this created universe seemed to have completely stopped.

Perhaps, only after he has truly transcended the universe of creation in which he has lived for more than two hundred years and reached a higher level, and then gone to other universes of creation, everything will be easy.

At that time, the time that passes in the other universe will not affect this side.

To the universe of creation where the Blue Star originally existed, perhaps he is now a visitor.

As for being able to leave here before, it was because of the bamboo slips.

Whether it was entirely the work of Master Zu Tianshi alone, or whether it might involve higher-level beings, is currently unknown.

After all, not only the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, but also other powerful people who have transcended, have never returned to and interfered with that universe of creation.

Or, if there is interference, those who have not transcended will have no way of knowing?
The answer to the question may need to be left for the future.

Lei Jun does not reject the unknown.

He stopped dwelling on related matters and began to focus his mind.

Return to the universe of creation where you have been practicing.

The great world of nine heavens and ten earths, in the cave of the Three Pure Ones and the Three Treasures of Penglai Sea.

Lei Jun continued to stare at the bamboo slips flashing with light in his hands.

After going there and back, many things became clearer.

For Taoists, "three" is indeed an important number.

He became acquainted with Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen and Junior Sister Tang Xiaotang, and also settled here.

The bamboo slips of Zu Tianshi left a great legacy for Taoism.

But this fate did not ultimately end up in a simple bamboo slip.

To some extent, it is shared among three.

Senior sister Xu Yuanzhen was not gifted when she was young, but like Lei Jun, Chu Kun and others, she improved her own roots and comprehension talents later in life.

The thing is, she has it much easier than most people.

There are all kinds of rare natural treasures, and you can often pick up a lot by just walking around.

Speaking of opportunities, she has them everywhere.

But in other words, it is a great opportunity that can continue to play a role.

Junior sister Tang Xiaotang is very clear-minded, able to discern good from evil and to avoid danger. Her astuteness is rare in this world.

Other practitioners do have similar abilities, but they often use them against opponents who are weaker than themselves, and rarely are they able to sense threats from higher beings.

The rare thing about Tang Xiaotang is that she can keenly perceive when people with higher cultivation levels than her have evil thoughts, which pose a hidden danger and disadvantage to her.

Now that he has understood the secret of the bamboo slips, Lei Jun knows that their peculiarities actually come from the same source as his own bamboo slips.

To be precise, when the bamboo slips were about to return to this created universe, they peeled off from it, and one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and together they carried the destiny of the Taoism in the future.

It is only because of the distortion caused by the interval between the time and space boundaries of the created universe that a dislocation is finally formed in the world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Xu Yuanzhen was the earliest.

Tang Xiaotang came second.

Lei Jun, who was carrying the bamboo slips, finally appeared in the world.

But since they have the same origin, even if there is a time difference, the gap is not big, and they finally landed in this era together.

Speaking of which, in this era, there is a small number of people who may seize this opportunity, and that person is Di Yuan... Lei Jun thought.

But the other party is currently being sealed in the territory of the Imperial Garden World.

Time is fate, the so-called destiny, which is mysterious.

Although it was difficult to use the bamboo slips to calculate the opponent after the Imperial Garden was on guard, Lei Jun could try another method to make it work by taking out the physical bamboo slips.

In front of Him, an invisible "door" formed by the interweaving of mysterious air currents appeared.

Lei Jun threw the bamboo slips in his hand into it.

The bamboo slips disappeared inside the "door", and the "door" seemed to have no changes.

Lei Jun sat opposite him.

At this time, the Three Caves and Three Pure Realms after He attained enlightenment changed.

It seemed to have degenerated and reappeared as the Xuanhuang Universe.

And it is divided into two again and stands opposite to each other.

In the days that followed, everything went as usual and he continued to meditate and practice.

In the following years, after Meng Shaojie and Zhuo Baojie, Xiao Xueting and Xing Feng made breakthroughs one after another.

By the year of Lei Jun's 280th birthday, the world had added two more cultivators who had reached the second level of the fairyland.

Xiao Xueting and Xing Feng, whose cultivation had reached a higher level, went to the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave Heaven in Penglai Sea to express their gratitude to Lei Tianzun.

Previously, at the Longhushan Dharma Assembly, the two of them listened to the lectures and benefited greatly.

They were not the only ones who received help.

Time flies, years pass.

In the following ten years, Shen Qubing and Chu Yu also made further progress one after another. The former cultivated to the second level of Martial Immortal, and the latter completed the second of the Three Immortals of Confucianism and reached the second level of Confucian Sage.

In addition, after Nie Fang, Xuanji Temple has added a new immortal from the Taoist Yanshi lineage.

Niu Gushou, who has taken over the position of the master of Xuanji Temple, has successfully opened the gate to immortality.

The second-generation abbot of Xuanji Temple is very famous in the human world of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The related controversies have spread to other worlds and are also full of legends.

As the most outstanding cultivator in Xuanji Temple after Nie Fang, many new innovations were born under his leadership.

The vast majority of them have a profound impact on the current cultivation world's alchemy, weapon refining, mining, and planting.

Because of this reason, and the fact that Nie Fang and Niu Gushou ascended to heaven one after another, although the history of Xuanji Temple is only about 200 years, its position in the world of cultivation is very important.

The reason why Master Niu is surrounded by controversy is that in addition to the spiritual world, many of his innovations are used by ordinary people.

After he took over Xuanji Temple, in addition to the disciples in the temple, he even opened another Taoist temple. Now it is getting bigger and bigger, and later it was named "Gongyuan".

There were many who failed to achieve success in their practice, but they were still kept. Although they often assisted the disciples in the temple in preparing various tools and materials, they were not dependent on them or served as servants. Instead, they provided reference while independently setting up special teaching courses to learn and study.

Today, all of this has grown to a considerable scale and has achieved remarkable results.

In his early years, Niu Gushou himself studied the smoldering charcoal blast furnace, and changed the single furnace with carbon and iron in the same furnace room into a double furnace, with separate fire chamber and iron chamber. This led to a leap forward in folk smelting, reduced impurities in the refined iron, and the first signs of steel appeared.

Today, students from the Institute of Technology have further improved the blowing part of this refining method, making it easier for the flame in the fire chamber to blow into the iron chamber to melt the iron.

Niu Gu Shou was particularly pleased with this development.

For practitioners, the relevant methods are of course not worth mentioning.

But even among the Taoist children at the Qi Refining Realm, how many are willing to guard a blast furnace that smelt iron for ordinary people?
Even if someone is willing and can gather a considerable number, we can directly improve the blast furnace technology so that ordinary people can operate it. Why not do it?
As all of this unfolds and continues to develop, how great will the impact on the human world be?
And many things often do not exist in isolation.

The continuous development of smelting has put forward more demands and requirements for the mining of coal raw materials. The mining and excavation of more high-quality mineral deposits has also continuously promoted the creation of newer technologies.

Niu Gushou had previously discovered a large deposit of high-quality coal when he was traveling on earth.

Around this area, not only did iron smelting develop rapidly, but students from the Institute of Technology also imitated volcanic ash to burn a new mud for use in construction.

In fact, Niu Gu Shou himself had done related research in his early years.

Just because it is easy for a great monk like him to do it, it doesn't mean that everyone can do it.

Firing such mud requires extremely high kiln temperatures, which not only places high demands on the kiln, but also requires strong coal fire, similar to that of porcelain and glass.

In the past, the cost for the public was extremely high and it was completely useless as expected.

Later, Niu Gushou and others discovered and mined higher quality, cheaper and more abundant coal deposits, and around these deposits, the related mud and iron smelting industries had room to develop formally.

Even so, there are also considerations related to transportation, freight, etc. that affect further development and promotion.

But similar changes continue to emerge in the world as time goes by, with increasing numbers and faster innovations.

Some people welcome the birth of new things, while others reject them.

The mysterious background of the Institute of Technology often leads the trend.

For ordinary people, the new things used and promoted by the Taoist masters with great cultivation make them more desirable and give them more confidence.

In recent years, there has been news that a precedent has been set in which Taoist priests who have been ordained at the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain have been transferred to the Xuanji Guangong Temple.

The Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain has been a Taoist holy place since ancient times, and the threshold for entry is quite high.

But even so, for various reasons, there will still be people who find it difficult to achieve great things.

If the Taoist children in the Taoist Children's Court are unable to meet the standards for participating in the ordination ceremony, they may be sent away in the future, return to the secular world, and go to the various industries in the palace inside and outside the mountains to make a living.

The relevant systems have long been mature and have been so since ancient times.

However, as the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has continued to grow in popularity in recent years, it has become the de facto number one holy place. They do not expand on a large scale, and with so many people yearning for it, the entry threshold has been raised further.

As a result, untalented Taoist children naturally became increasingly rare, and basically most of them could pass the transmission and become formal disciples.

But nothing is absolute, there are always a few exceptions, more or less.

Those Taoist children who are unable to participate in the ordination will naturally be arranged according to the previous rules and customs.

However, in recent years, some people have started to transfer to Xuanjiguan Institute of Technology to study.

Some of them were even recommended by the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

To date, some successful people have emerged.

However, they were all Taoist children in the past.

Strictly speaking, he cannot be considered an official successor of the Tianshi Temple.

And now, the first disciple of Longhu Mountain has appeared and went to Xuanjiguan Institute of Technology to study.

When the news came out, it naturally attracted attention from all sides.

Although he was only a young disciple at the second level of the foundation-building realm, on the one hand, going from the Tianshi Mansion to the Xuanji Temple was the next step forward in the eyes of the public; on the other hand, from the Taoist tradition of the Xuanji Temple itself to the Institute of Technology at the foot of the mountain, it was a shift from the world of cultivation to the secular people.

It would be fine if the road ahead was already dead, but for those who do have a bright future, they do the opposite in front of the public.

People can't help but make all kinds of speculations about this.

"It is not necessary for us to interfere in matters that have been carefully considered by the individual."

When contemporary Heavenly Master Chi Haifeng saw Niu Gushou who had just come out of retreat, he congratulated him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist."

Niu Gushou: "Master, you are too kind. Your disciples care about the people and want to benefit the people. This is admirable.

According to his talent, he still has a bright future in spiritual practice."

Chi Haifeng smiled: "Daoyou is the best example in this regard."

Niu Gushou: “I am ashamed, but I really hope that there will be more examples like mine, so that many younger generations can be relieved of their worries and more people of the same path can join in.

I am grateful to the Heavenly Master for his help over the years. Without him, some things would not have gone so smoothly. "

Chi Haifeng smiled and shook his head: "I am not worthy of this position. It is the foundation framework laid by my great-uncle Hezhuo, the head teacher. I am just following suit."

Niu Gu Shou: "You are too polite, Master."

After Lei Tianzun set the initial tone, many things have continued from the previous Tianshi Zhuo Baojie to the current Tianshi Chi Haifeng.

However, people are different and cannot be exactly the same.

Compared to Zhuo Baojie who was relatively peaceful before, Chi Haifeng is now more flamboyant.

He himself is a genius with extraordinary understanding, and he has a wide range of interests and hobbies and a wide circle of friends.

He had already ascended to heaven before taking over the position of Heavenly Master. After taking over, just like Lei Jun and Zhuo Baojie before him, he rarely cared about the specific affairs of the palace or even the human world.

Most of the time, he socialized with fellow practitioners from various sects and discussed the mysteries of the Tao.

This naturally includes Xuanji Temple, and Chi Haifeng has particularly close contacts with Nie Fang and Niu Gushou.

During this period, countless sparks of inspiration and new ideas were generated.

Naturally, many of them are related to spiritual practice, but there are also some that can be directly used by the people.

Compared with Zhuo Baojie before him, Chi Haifeng walked the earth less often, but his influence on the earth during his tenure was greater than Zhuo Baojie's.

Of course, this is partly due to Zhuo Baojie's previous stable development.

Up to now, Chi Haifeng's tenure can be said to be a result of great accumulation.

"I heard that both the Tang Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty were planning to open technical schools under the academy?" Chi Haifeng asked.

Niu Gushou nodded: "The Tang Dynasty Academy has actually had a relevant foundation over the years. Now it has gone a step further and has a foundation in the Later Han Dynasty. In addition, His Royal Highness the King of the Later Han Dynasty and Mr. Geng and Mr. Gu have all asked about it this time."

The current emperor of the Later Han Dynasty is still Zhou Pu.

However, since he ascended to heaven, his situation has become similar to Zhang Wantong's.

"When the situation in the Institute of Technology becomes more stable, I will pass on the position of the abbot to the younger generation later." Niu Gu Shou said.

Chi Haifeng asked with great interest, "I heard that the Institute of Engineering has developed a new machine that can automatically reciprocate with water vapor, without the need for manpower?"

Niu Gu Shou: "It is true, but it is still very rough."

Having said that, he, like Chi Haifeng opposite him, was very excited when talking about this matter.

Things like this are nothing to them.

But it was created entirely by ordinary mortals and constantly improved upon.

"It's not mature yet, and can only replace the work of a few people, but the cost is very high." Niu Gu Shouyan said: "In comparison, it is not as good as hiring more people to do the work, so it needs to be continuously improved, and the related costs will be very huge during the period."

The "several people" and "cost" he mentioned are of course directed at ordinary people in the world.

Chi Haifeng was lost in thought: "I think it has great potential, but I am concerned about whether we should get involved?"

Not only Chi Haifeng and Niu Gushou, but also Zhuo Baojie and Nie Fang are paying attention to the relevant news.

Upon hearing the news, Lei Jun waited and watched what would happen.

For the world of cultivation, it is easy to interrupt such a process.

All of this is not even tender and fragile seedlings, it's just sprouting.

But if it is allowed to develop naturally, it may overturn the world and society that have existed for thousands of years in just a few hundred years.

Production efficiency, wealth accumulation and material civilization that are unimaginable in the current era have emerged.

Along with it, there may also be all kinds of darkness and blood.

But from Lei Jun's personal experience, whether in terms of life expectancy or living standards, it will eventually be a world that is more conducive to the survival of ordinary people than the current era.

Therefore, Lei Jun is willing to see such a world come true.

From Zhuo Baojie, Nie Fang, Hu Hengyuan, as well as Zhang Taigang, Xie Yiying, Yu Boyan and others from the Shushan School, to Chi Haifeng, Niu Gushou, Cai Yu and others now, everything has been on track.

Niu Gushou pays attention to secular changes, but never forgets the connection between the secular world and the spiritual world.

In addition to his own personal example and gradually improving his cultivation, various secular things also constantly assisted the monks in their practice, thus continuously attracting more and more practitioners to actively join in.

Lei Jun's figure disappeared into the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave.

Counting the days, on the other hand, there will be results now.

When he reappeared, he appeared in the Jiangdong area of ​​the Confucian world.

There is the former residence of the late Saint Yan Aoyun.

It has been decades since the catastrophe, when no one has lived here.

But the courtyard is tidy and someone cleans it every day.

Today, a monument is erected here.

Zhang Wantong and Jiao Feiyang, the Confucian kings of the third level of the fairyland, and Zhang Hui and Xiao Chunhui, the Confucian saints of the second level, are all here.

When the Taoist master Lei Jun arrived, everyone nodded to him but remained silent.

Lei Jun also did not say anything, but nodded slightly in return, his eyes fixed on the monument in front of him.

There, there were already many tiny points of light floating and flickering, and they were gathering more and more.

And as time goes by, the speed at which the light spots gather is also accelerating.

As if it had broken through a certain critical point, as tiny light dust condensed, the surface of the monument itself began to emit bright light, like a night fire.

The fire is warm and bright, seemingly not blazing, but it seems to herald, record and continue the fire of life and civilization.

Finally, at some point, a breeze seemed to be blowing in the courtyard, in front of the monument.

Seeing this, Lei Jun nodded slightly again.

A scroll flashing white light suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Wantong and flipped through the pages quickly.

Zhang Hui, Xiao Chunhui and Jiao Feiyang all breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, the Confucian saint Yan Aoyun has been revived and returned to the world.

In front of the monument, specks of light gathered together, and a human figure began to emerge from them.

After a while, a scholar in Confucian robes stepped out.

It turned out to be Yan Aoyun who had died at the hands of Diyuan earlier.

Yan Aoyun, who walked out from the dim light, seemed a little dazed at this moment.

But he accepted the visions and ideas of all living beings and returned, and in an instant he understood the general situation.

He possesses the talent of Wenquxing, who can observe and care for all living things, and he also has the Confucian understanding of the world. His ability to be reborn and revived far surpasses that of other Confucian saints at the same level.

After reaching the realm of a Confucian sage, one's knowledge becomes even more profound. All living beings, wherever they wish, have the possibility of returning and being reborn.

Of course, the so-called possibilities vary in size, and the specific details still depend on the specific circumstances.

However, the Fist of the Imperial Garden dominates the destiny and destroys the rules.

That domineering and unparalleled fist intent can cut off the opponent's basis and reason for resurrection, and completely destroy the opponent's body and soul, with no possibility of resurrection.

Many immortals and Buddhas in the past, as well as Taiyi Wuzun, a wizard god in recent years, have all died completely because of this.

When Yan Aoyun ignited his soul with the fire of civilization and made the final attack on the opponent, his soul was also destroyed on the spot by Di Yuan, and the immortal monument somewhere else was shattered through the air.

If Lei Jun and others had not seized the opportunity to reseal the Imperial Garden in the first place, and if Zhang Wantong had not intervened to intercept a small amount of the Light Dust that Yan Aoyun used to revive the world, and then completely wiped out all the Light Dust in the Imperial Garden, then Yan Aoyun's last hope of resurrection would have been completely cut off, and the fire of civilization would have been extinguished.

Even so, he was seriously injured.

There is a possibility of rebirth. The possibility can be big or small, and this is the smaller possibility.

Without help, I don’t know how long it will take to return.

But after that battle, Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong and others actively promoted Yan Aoyun's achievements and reputation in all walks of life.

As the world becomes more stable and the population continues to grow, more and more people are praising and commemorating the Holy Master Yan Zi, which is constantly accelerating the rebirth of Yan Aoyun.

Even so, it cannot be achieved in just decades.

After the head of Xuanmen, Lei Jun, attained enlightenment, he had some thoughts and feelings in his mind. He condensed his own magic power into talismans and passed them on to the Confucian world.

With his help, Yan Aoyun finally succeeded in being reborn and returning.

"I am very grateful for your help." Yan Aoyun looked solemn and bowed to Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong and others.

Everyone returned the greeting: "You are doing this for the sake of the people. You deserve the people's consideration. We are also grateful to Yan Zi for sacrificing his life for justice."

Yan Aoyun: "No, I am also one of the common people."

He bowed to Lei Jun again and said, "Congratulations to Master Lei for reaching the Great Dao. May all people be blessed."

Lei Jun bowed in return, "I have gained a little, but it is not as happy as Yan Zi's return."

Yan Aoyun: "Over at the Imperial Garden?"

After listening to everyone's introduction, Yan Aoyun sighed: "In this case, Master Lei's true enlightenment is far more important than Yan's rebirth."

Although he has been reborn, Yan Aoyun is still in extremely weak condition.

Although he has not fallen from the realm of Saint Master, he is not far away.

Now, the sixty-year period before the Imperial Garden reopens is not far away.

Even though Yan Aoyun slowly recovered with the help of Lei Jun during this period, the improvement was still limited.

Not to mention compared to Taiyi Wu Zun, Yan Aoyun's situation by then would probably not be much better than that of the Demon Dragon Emperor, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree.

Under such circumstances, the significance of his rebirth is naturally far less than Lei Jundong becoming the new Taoist Heavenly Master.

Especially from Yan Aoyun's perspective, he could feel that Lei Jun had already achieved the Taoist Wuji status, which was on par with the Emperor of Martial Arts and the Confucian sages.

This must be an important reason why the other party was able to open the door so quickly.

The changes in the universe have somehow brought this about, leaving a glimmer of hope for the world where the Imperial Garden is about to reappear... Yan Aoyun sighed.

"As the world changes, we just need to follow the trend." Lei Jun said, "Don't worry, Yan Zi, just rest and take care of yourself first."

When others say such things, they may just be offering comforting words.

After hearing what Lei Jun said, Yan Aoyun felt relieved.

After visiting Yan Aoyun, Lei Jun returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and entered the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave in the Penglai Sea in the Heavenly Realm. He continued his meditation and practice, silently perfecting and creating his own new and old knowledge.

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

During this process, time flies by.

Sixty years have passed since the second sealing of the Imperial Garden and the world.

Lei Tianzun is also gradually approaching his 300th birthday.

During this period, following Zhuo Baojie, his other direct disciple Han Xiaofei also successfully reached the second level of immortality, Dongxuan Taiwei.

Since her enlightenment was elevated from the level of clarity to the level of tranquility, Han Xiaofei, who had always been determined and diligent in her cultivation, had improved her cultivation at an even faster pace.

In addition, the Confucian sage Fang Yue and the martial immortal Zhou Pu are also currently in seclusion and practicing, making the final sprint to achieve the second level of the fairyland.

And in the Pure Land world, after many years, a great Buddhist master who reached the third level of golden body finally appeared.

The Great Master Faqing.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for attaining the third level of the Buddhist golden body realm." Lei Jun congratulated Wang Guiyuan with a smile.

Wang Guiyuan first used the body of the Great Venerable Faqing to perform eleven salutes to Lei Jun:
"I have benefited greatly from your teachings, and today I have attained the triple golden body."

Lei Jun shook his head: "Brother, you carried the responsibility of suppressing Wujian, and later transformed the evil land into the pure land, and the end of the Dharma into the true Dharma. You have been working for decades to rectify the origin and clear the source for the Pure Land. You have accumulated so much experience to achieve today's achievements."

The golden body of the Great Master Faqing disappeared, and Wang Guiyuan reappeared as a young Taoist priest in a red robe, sitting opposite Lei Jun:

"A new calamity is coming. I can be considered to have barely caught up, but the final outcome still depends on you, Junior Brother. At best, I can only help out from the side.

Although I have made some preparations, there are still some deficiencies. While there is still some time left, I plan to borrow the immortal secrets of Senior Sister, Youwu Xuanmen, to help me."

Lei Jun: "I have also made some preparations."

Wang Guiyuan sighed, "It's a pity that Senior Sister and Junior Sister Tang couldn't make it in time to reach the same great Dao and profound truth as Junior Brother, otherwise things would be more certain."

Lei Jun returned to the true self after three days of Dongxuan Ziwei at the age of 170, and opened the door to Taoism at the age of 270 to officially ascend to the realm of Dongzhen. It took him a hundred years, which was the fastest time since the great catastrophe in ancient times.

But he first had the ten-colored crane canopy and sacrificed the sword to the three realms, and then achieved the Taoist Wuji style, which is difficult for others to replicate.

Not only Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang missed the trip, but Zhao Chanyang and Fenghuang Fengming also missed it.

"Just let it be." Lei Jun smiled and said, "After this calamity, more and more outstanding young people will grow up, and there will surely be new Tathagatas, Sages, and Taiyis in the future."

Wang Guiyuan nodded slightly.

Just recently, Master Zhizhen, a disciple of Venerable Huiyin, successfully attained the Golden Body of Buddhism.

This person possesses the root of concentration, one of the five roots of purity in Buddhism, and his understanding is also very high.

Buddhist practice emphasizes sudden enlightenment, which may lead to late success, but it is also possible to achieve enlightenment at a young age.

Venerable Zhizhen improved very quickly and became another cultivator after Chi Haifeng who opened the door to immortality within a hundred years of practice.

With the current ability of Venerable Zhizhen, even if he attains Buddhahood, it would be difficult for him to reach the tyranny of the Imperial Garden.

But in the long run, more outstanding Buddhists will emerge.

When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Shanyoubu Gongde Buddha and other Buddhist predecessors fought against the Imperial Garden in the past, although they failed to wait for the Buddha's Tathagata, they finally had the Taoist Wuji Lei Jun who appeared in the world.

"Where is Mr. Tianrui?" Wang Guiyuan asked.

If there is anyone who could possibly catch up and further improve his cultivation strength, the most likely person would be Zhang Wantong, a lay Buddhist from Tianrui.

She achieved the third level of the fairyland earlier than Lei Jun, Zhao Chanyang and others.

"I have communicated with Tianrui before." Lei Junyan said, "She is almost there."

With the foundation of past practice, Zhang Wantong was half recovering and half re-cultivating, and the speed of his realm improvement was even faster than Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang.

But she had never seriously set foot in the realm of Confucian saints in the past.

What she is currently studying, learning and thinking are all unprecedented, and every step is carefully explored by herself through overcoming difficulties.

While the Dao of Heaven and Earth gives feedback and rewards, a lot of necessary effort is still indispensable.

Especially when she is about to open the door to the Dao and achieve the realm of a saint master, she needs to plan carefully.

The so-called law of karma has its ups and downs.

When the Imperial Garden reopened last time, Gao Tian opened the Dao Gate along with the Dao Dao Dong Zhen.

Yan Aoyun successfully revived before the arrival of the Jiazi period.

Wang Guiyuan also successfully achieved the status of the Three Great Golden Body Masters of Buddhism this year.

Zhang Wantong was just a little short of the final barrier.

She now begins to study quietly behind closed doors. Perhaps in the next few years, she will be able to open the door to Taoism like Lei Jun and Yan Aoyun and become a Confucian saint.

But when the Jiazi period arrived, the seal was broken again, the several worlds merged again, the entire universe was shaken, and the Imperial Garden reappeared, but all this would not wait patiently for Zhang Wantong.

Such is the fate, destiny plays tricks on us.

Zhang Wantong remained calm about this and went with the flow without going into seclusion. He planned to take up related matters only after the next catastrophe.

As for whether they can survive the catastrophe, what will happen afterwards, and the outcome of this battle, no one can give an answer at present.

Although Lei Jun achieved the Taoist Dongzhen Tianzun with his Wuji appearance, the final outcome is still hard to say.

The same qualifications, the same realm, different experiences, and different people may also have huge differences.

During the great catastrophe at the end of the ancient times, the ancestor of Longhu Mountain, who was also of the Wuji appearance, faced the Emperor of Heaven, who was of the Emperor of Heaven. He tried to do it independently, but was still powerless.

The final result was that Huang Tian was killed by the siege of many top masters, but He also buried countless immortals and Buddhas, including Zu Tianshi.

The ancestor Tianshi seized the secrets of heaven and won a chance for the Taoist sect in later generations.

This is exactly what is happening to Lei Jun now.

His current opponent will be another martial arts saint emperor with the aura of an emperor, Di Yuan.

The lineup for besieging Huangtian is better than the lineup for besieging Diyuan.

But in the end, the emperor died, but the imperial garden remained.

Next, Lei Jun will face his sharp edge.

What will be the outcome?
Perhaps Lei Jun himself can be worry-free, but the fate of others is not certain.

No one knows the final outcome.

Everyone is just saving and preparing silently.

until……

The universe of creation shook again.

Just like sixty years ago, the universe and time are distorted and changing as time passes.

Several worlds seem to be reunited again.

The boundaries between the worlds began to become blurred, resisting each other and yet blending with each other.

The unnatural waves forcibly stimulated by humans swept across the universe, forcing the worlds to reunite as one, in an attempt to recreate the three realms of time and space before the ancient catastrophe.

Earlier, Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang used the old seal to impose a new seal formation, and a huge talisman covering the universe gradually emerged.

What appeared along with it was the Imperial Garden, which had previously seemed isolated from the entire universe of creation and finally reappeared.

Affected by this, some beings that originally fled to the void outside the domain and recuperated in the vast universe can no longer hide their whereabouts and are involuntarily reappearing in the world.

The Great Sage Taotie, also known as the Taotie Ancestor, has a sheep's body and a human face, eyes under his armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a voice like a baby, and an aura of greed that can swallow the heavens and the earth.

He was dressed in a white robe, looking calm and composed, as if he were a Taoist master, or a ghostly and unpredictable poisonous spirit.

The whole body of the Bodhisattva of Destruction is pitch black, sitting cross-legged in the void, exuding distortion and destructive power from head to toe.

The three top powerful men who pushed open the door of Taoism appeared together at this time, and were in different directions of the universe.

But their current conditions are quite bad.

The Gu God and the Ancestral Taotie were both top-notch warriors who left their names in history.

But after being severely injured by Diyuan, his injuries have never been fully healed.

The Liuhe method also failed. New injuries plus old injuries made their situation worse, which continues to this day.

Resting in the void for all these years is just a way to survive.

The condition of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva is better than theirs, but there was a flaw when it opened the door to the Tao before. This was because the legacy of the Great Destruction Tathagata after his death was incomplete, so his realm was incomplete and he could never attain the true realm of the Demon Buddha.

Over the years, it has killed and destroyed countless people, but has never gotten to the bottom of it.

Later, it was forced to leave the Pure Land, and most of the descendants of the Demon Buddha in the Pure Land were successively wiped out by Wang Guiyuan, Huiyin Zunzhe and others, and almost all of them were killed or injured.

Until now, the only one left in the lineage of the devil and Buddha is the lonely Bodhisattva Da Mie.

At this moment, it appeared from the void, with no expression on its dark face, as cold and indifferent as ever, and its eyes swept across, with only indifference and murderousness.

The ancestor Taotie kept making sharp and piercing roars, being extremely manic and extremely greedy.

Of these two, one destroys everything and destabilizes the void; the other is greedy by nature, hiding in the vast empty space of the universe outside the domain, still constantly devouring everything in all directions.

Even though the void outside the domain is vast, they still cause large fluctuations.

After Lei Jun Dong Zhen, it would not be difficult to find the whereabouts of Da Mie Bodhisattva and Zu Taotie by spending some time, but He had other arrangements, so he waited until today.

The Gu God was relatively hidden, so it took Lei Jun more time to determine his whereabouts. At this time, the emotions on his face were most obvious.

The Gu God was forced to emerge from outside the domain due to the vibration of the void. He was attracted by the unity of the universe. At this time, he looked at the gradually reappearing world of the Imperial Garden with a sigh.

But only for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the witch god who looked like a man in white robe had regained his composure.

In the distance, several figures appeared one after another.

Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Wang Guiyuan, Yan Aoyun, Zhang Wantong and Zhao Chanyang were among them.

Most of the top cultivators in the world have arrived.

But the most important thing is...

A colorless auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere in the void outside the domain without any warning, as if it had always been there.

The colorful crane canopy shone brightly above the auspicious clouds, and streams of pure air hung down like silk ribbons.

Under the crane canopy sat a tall young Taoist priest in a yellow brocade robe.

The current leader of the Xuanmen sect is Lei Jun, the Heavenly Master of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

Although he was just standing there calmly, wherever his eyes reached, Wang Guiyuan and others felt at ease.

The Gu God felt his heart tremble.

Compared to the Emperor of Heaven and the Imperial Garden, the gaze of the tall young Taoist in front of him did not have that cold, overbearing, and oppressive feeling. Instead, it was indifferent and peaceful, but it also made the Gu God feel cold in his heart.

"Backup plans are still needed, but it doesn't hurt to have them in place if they are not used."

Lei Jun didn't seem to pay attention to Gu Shen, Zu Taotie, and Da Mie Bodhisattva. He turned to Yan Aoyun and Zhang Wantong and said, "Thank you for your hard work, lay Buddhists."

Yan Aoyun's injuries have not yet healed, and his condition is not better than that of Zu Taotie and Gu Shen.

Therefore, in this battle, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will no longer go to the front line to face the Imperial Garden directly. Instead, he will join hands with Zhang Wantong to prepare for the third sealing of the Imperial Garden, with Lei Jun and others also participating.

From Lei Jun's perspective, if feasible, he hopes to completely resolve the Imperial Garden.

When the fight really comes, life and death, success or failure, all become irrelevant, and you just have to give it your all.

But this did not affect his preparation of more contingency plans as usual before the war to be on the safe side.

Except for masters like Fenghuang Fengming and Bai Mei who remained in the world to protect the people, the rest of the top cultivators were arranged by Lei Jun to do their own things and act quickly.

With Lei Jun as the center, the colorless auspicious clouds under His seat began to spread, and in an instant they seemed to cover the entire universe.

The array no longer had the interweaving of clear air from the previous Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Array. Only an indescribable mysterious aura was flowing.

These auras did not immediately curb the trend of the unity of all the worlds, but continued to expand, diffusing into every corner of the universe, reaching everywhere.

The Gu God, the Ancestral Taotie, and the Great Destruction Bodhisattva tried to avoid it, but they were already in the formation set up by Lei Jun.

They were all startled and immediately tried to escape.

There was no trace of black air around the body of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva. The ultimate destructive power was contained in his body. He didn't even need to lift a hand or move a foot. Just by being there, he could destroy anything that any part of his body touched.

However, it was impossible to damage the invisible, intangible, colorless and formless mysterious aura in the formation.

The ancestor Taotie opened his mouth to swallow the sky and the earth, swallowing these mysterious auras. It was both an act of greed and a means of achieving his goal.

It can swallow the sky and the earth. On the one hand, it has a domineering devouring ability, and on the other hand, it can devour the opponent and turn it into its own use in an instant, which makes it extremely powerful.

The mysterious energy in the formation did not resist being devoured by Taotie.

But after Zu Taotie swallowed it, he was unable to refine it.

The mysterious aura always existed, integrated with the formation, making it impossible for Zu Taotie to advance or retreat.

The body of the Gu God, which seemed to be gathering and dispersing at will, now dispersed, as if it had also turned into many invisible, intangible and colorless gases, which merged into the formation and disappeared.

After Lei Jun deployed a large formation to cover the entire universe, his sight shifted away from the Imperial Garden world.

He himself also left under the ten-colored crane canopy.

When he appeared again, he was beside the Bodhisattva Mahamutprakarn.

So fast that the other party couldn't react at all.

Then he raised his hand and slapped the Bodhisattva Damie on the top of his head.

A black “卍” character suddenly started rotating above the head of Bodhisattva Damie.

The power and artistic conception of destroying the heaven and earth and shattering all things, all laws, all phenomena and all principles suddenly emerges.

There was no need for Great Destruction Bodhisattva to raise his hand to parry. On top of its head or at any part of its body, he could attack and defend at the same time, automatically generating terrible power.

But, it couldn't hurt Lei Jun at all.

Lei Jun slapped down with one palm, and the black head of Bodhisattva Damie disappeared immediately.

Just as silent and even more understated.

The disappeared part has no fragments or residues, no light or shadow, and no ashes.

It was like being wiped out of thin air and disappeared from then on.

All that was left was the headless, pitch-black Buddha body.

Under Lei Jun's deliberate control, Bodhisattva Damie did not die.

Even though he had lost his head, the Buddha still raised his palm to resist the endless mysterious aura that surrounded him.

At the same time when Lei Jun casually slapped the head of Bodhisattva Da Mie, two other figures, without any time interval and not illusion, appeared directly at the place where Zu Taotie was and the direction where Gu Shen disappeared.

Three Lei Juns acted and attacked at the same time.

Zu Taotie has been restrained by the mysterious energy of the formation and cannot advance or retreat.

Lei Jun kindly took back the mysterious energy and helped Zu Taotie out of trouble.

Then, he followed suit and wiped off its head with one palm.

Likewise, He did not take the other person's life immediately.

Having lost its head, Zu Taotie was still able to devour everything thanks to the wound on its neck, but it suddenly became even weaker as it was already seriously injured.

The third Lei Jun appeared at the place where the Gu God had just disappeared.

When He appeared here, the Gu God who had just disappeared also reappeared, as if he had never left.

The scattered air currents reunited, restoring the image of the man in white robe.

The Gu God watched Lei Jun's palm appear above his head, and a look of sighing appeared on his face again.

In ancient times, although it was not as ancient as the Great Siming, the Lesser Siming and other witch gods, it was also an orthodox witch god who cultivated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was revered by all the people in the southern wilderness and officially created the way of practicing witchcraft.

His second-generation disciples founded a sect in Yinshandong, and eventually laid the foundation for the inheritance of the sacred land of witches.

To this day, Yinshandong still worships it.

Unfortunately, in the first battle to seal the Imperial Garden, even though it escaped early, it was still severely damaged by the Imperial Garden.

For various reasons, it, together with its ancestors Taotie and Qiongqi, refined the remains of Shao Siming and eventually transformed into Taiyi Wu Zun.

One of them is good at refining, and the other is good at pollution.

Taiyi Wu Zun no longer cultivated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but instead cultivated demonic energy and evil spirits.

Every step you take is a step forward.

Then, there are the remains of the Buddha Shanyoubu Gongde and the remains of the Pure Yang Patriarch...

After achieving Liuhe, is that the end?

But not necessarily.

On one hand there is greed, on the other hand there is fear.

Finally, it will come to this.

Sixty years ago, Taiyi Wu Zun split and the Gu God reappeared in the world.

At this point, it discovered that it had also cultivated the same evil spirit as its ancestors Taotie and Qiongqi.

Looking back on the past, it is hard to say whether I was influenced by Qiongqi and Taotie or was half-hearted.

At first, everything was because of the Imperial Garden.

But now, everything is in vain.

The Saint Emperor of Martial Arts with the appearance of a Heavenly Emperor is about to reappear.

And before that, there was another Taoist master with the infinite appearance who became his opponent.

The Yinshandong lineage is currently under the protection of the other party, and even the Gu God cannot influence it.

And the ancestor of the witchcraft lineage that people in later generations continue to worship must be it from ancient times, rather than the evil witch of today, right?

When the Gu God was halfway through his thought, Lei Jun's hand fell.

The head of the man in white robe suddenly disappeared from his neck.

It was as if the body was composed of countless witch auras. When Lei Jun slapped it on the top of the head, the witch auras were completely unable to gather and disperse, but were always condensed into one entity, and it endured Lei Jun's palm.

Although he still had his life, the Gu God was severely injured by Lei Jun, just like Zu Taotie and Damie Bodhisattva, and could not escape from the formation that covered all directions.

However, the formation has not yet launched an attack against these three.

Mysterious currents began to gather together in the recreated world of the Imperial Garden.

Lei Jun himself, with three figures in one, also appeared there.

The Jiazi seal was opened, and the Imperial Garden world began to squeeze the surrounding void.

A domineering, cold, and self-centered fist spirit burst out from it.

Time and space were in turmoil, and the Taiyi Universe, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Universe, the Rulin Universe, and the Pure Land Universe all seemed to be sliding involuntarily towards the Diyuan Universe with a collapse in the center.

But as Lei Jun appeared there, the collapse momentum stopped immediately.

In the vast formation shrouded in the void, mysterious auras began to gather towards the center on a large scale.

The Gu God, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, and the Ancestral Taotie, who were in three places, discovered at this time that not only Lei Jun had left, but the mysterious aura that had just besieged them was also much thinner.

In the large formation, with the three of them as the center, it seemed as if three huge holes appeared.

Be it the Gu God, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva or the Taotie, none of them felt relieved when they saw this.

Considering Lei Jun's abnormal behavior of severely injuring them but not killing them, they suddenly felt that a greater crisis was coming.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, who knew Lei Jun's plan in advance, had already stepped into the core of the formation.

Wang Guiyuan looked at the Great Extinction Bodhisattva, then retracted his gaze and looked at Zhao Chanyang who was shrouded in white clouds and smoke:

"This demon has a grudge against my Buddhist sect. Thank you, Master Zhao."

Zhao Chanyang's voice came from the white cloud: "Brother, you are too kind."

He is a Taiyi Taoist body. Although he practices the Taoist Danding School's tradition of refining the spirit and returning to the void, it is also possible for him to cooperate with Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang of the Taoist Fulu School.

The Wang Guiyuan in front of him is a Buddhist.

However, Wang Guiyuan is a great venerable of a vowed lineage, and is familiar with Lei Jun and others, often preaching and discussing Taoism, so entering the formation will not cause any problems.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Chanyang would not fight with Wang Guiyuan, so he stayed outside the formation to assist Zhang Wantong and Yan Aoyun in planning a backup sealing plan just in case.

Wang Guiyuan entered the core area of ​​the formation together with Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang.

Lei Jun himself is currently at the core hub of the formation.

It is also the place where several worlds converge and merge.

The area between time and space has become blurred.

A body that seemed only vaguely visible, but with an extremely clear and distinct feeling, and a strong sense of existence, as if it was the center of the universe.

Except for those who have already opened the door, the others are watching, completely unable to discern his true appearance, and are trembling from the bottom of their hearts, as if they are being bathed in the power of heaven.

In Lei Jun's field of vision, it was a man wearing a dark imperial robe, with an extremely tall stature and an appearance of about thirty years old.

Judging from the appearance alone, apart from his tall stature, he has an ordinary face and is not very impressive.

There is only a pair of eyes, cold and emotionless, but full of oppression.
