From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 452 Invincible in the World
'Azure Guardian' was just a rough outline thought up by Li Yang and Chi Yanhong. The purpose of Li Yang inviting the eighteen innates of the Taoist Alliance to come first today was mainly to perfect this plan.

After all, this plan concerns the entire China and even Blue Star, and the main body responsible for implementing this plan still has to be the leaders of the major Taoist academies under the Taoist Alliance.

Fortunately, China had laid a good foundation for the development of spiritual practice. Whether it was the adaptation of primary and secondary school textbooks or the establishment of thirty-six Taoist temples, they were all subtly cultivating the seeds of spiritual practice.

In terms of macro-control of the overall situation, it has only been six years since the recovery of spiritual energy. As the scope of the recovery continues to expand, after the first spiritual energy exploration in which Li Yang participated, China actually conducted two more spiritual energy explorations in conjunction with the Special Bureau. Areas with high spiritual energy concentrations are basically under the control of the official authorities.

However, in Li Yang's opinion, this is not enough. A powerful enemy is approaching, and the lukewarm and gradual approach is obviously not suitable for China's development. They need to quickly and efficiently train a group of masters within 20 years so that they will be qualified to fight when that world comes in 20 years.

After listening to Li Yang's story, the eighteen innates and Qi Qiansu felt a tragic sense of mission to witness the changes of time.

Among these eighteen innates, people like Wu Peng, Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan had all participated in the Luotian Grand Ceremony held in Qingcheng Mountain six years ago. In that secret meeting, they learned about the emergence of Taoism, accepted the official amnesty, and were trained in a unified and secret manner in Qingcheng Mountain.

That time, it was to seek the truth and to find the way.

This time, it is for survival, for the survival of the entire China!

At this moment, those who could cultivate to the innate level were basically people of extraordinary talent. The eighteen Taoist priests together with Li Yang, Chi Yanhong, and Qi Qiansu had secret talks on Baiyun Mountain for three days. Among them, Qi Qiansu also went to the capital once to pick up the head of the Special Bureau.

The purpose of the development plan is simple. First, establish a complete spiritual practice education system to cultivate high-quality spiritual practice talents. Second, build a strong spiritual practice defense system to resist future invasions. Third, safeguard national sovereignty and national security.

Having not slept for three days, all the innates had dark circles under their eyes. Older ones like Zheng Zhaoyuan and Chen Xiyan even had bloodshot eyes.

Leaving aside the small details, the big picture is that the teaching speed of a Taoist academy will be accelerated, and then relying on the thirty-six Taoist academies, the Special Bureau Taoist Alliance and the Chinese military will form a real army of practitioners.

Another is to repair and restore traditional Taoist temples, palaces, monasteries and other places of practice across the country. In fact, it is a comprehensive sweep of all Taoist temples, caves and blessed places of all sizes in China, bringing all practice resources under central control and tilting them towards the Thirty-Six Taoist Temples.

Then, we separated out some things that had existed vaguely before due to lack of experience, and set up a separate organization within the Taoist Alliance.

For example, there is an organization for refining magical instruments, a department for researching formations, or a department for drawing talismans and refining pills.

Li Yang proposed a hypothesis. Since the location of the great repairer from that world who had crossed over to the next level has been determined, he should first set up a large formation. He could try to kill an earthly immortal by relying on stacked formations or direct nuclear weapons.

As soon as this thought came to mind, even someone like Qi Qiansu, who had seen big scenes, felt his body tremble with excitement.

Earthly immortal, that is an earthly immortal!

Under normal circumstances, this is impossible. For example, Li Yang. Although Li Yang cannot take on a nuclear weapon head-on at present, nuclear weapons can't hurt him. With his speed and spiritual awareness, he can fly out of the explosion range long before the explosion.

But it’s different for the earth immortals who come from across the border. If they have stacked enough formations in advance to obscure their spiritual consciousness and immobilize their bodies, they might be able to eliminate one of them by surprise.

People always have to dream, what if they accidentally come true?
The draft of the entire "Blue Guardian" plan is half a person's height. These materials will be brought to the capital by Qi Qiansu and the director of the Special Bureau for final national-level adjustments.

After bidding farewell to all the Taoist leaders one by one, Li Yang stood on the top of Baiyun Mountain, looking at Qi Qiansu's sword light heading north with his brows lowered.

"I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate. This is all I can do."

Chi Yanhong, dressed in white, stood beside him with a look of pity in his eyes.

Ever since returning from Xianfeng Mountain after dealing with 'Chongming', she could feel that Li Yang's nerves had been tense, as if he was carrying mountains and rocks on his back and couldn't breathe.

He is invincible in the world, the true monarch of the time. Just like countless times before, this time, the entire Taoist alliance still chooses to believe in him.

Moreover, Chi Yanhong believed that when the news of the invasion from another world was exposed to the whole world, the whole world would also choose to believe him.

"This time, you are not alone." In the misty mountain wind, Chi Yanhong gently held Li Yang's hand and leaned on Li Yang's shoulder: "The whole world is by your side."

Hearing this, Li Yang's tense mood finally relaxed a little, and he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I can still hold on."

"Are you going to the freshman orientation ceremony tomorrow?"

"Of course I have to go, but it's just three days, which is nothing to me." Li Yang rubbed his temple with his right hand and said, "Since we have to change, let's start from my Baiyun Taoist Academy."
-
The opening ceremony for new students of Baiyun Taoist Temple was held as scheduled.

What was different from the last time was that at this opening ceremony, senior students like Liu Ming, Yang Xinwu and Yang Jiaqi found that there were many more media reporters on the mountain, carrying cameras and shooting randomly.

"What's going on? Hasn't our academy always followed the principle of keeping a low profile? Where did these reporters come from?"

Liu Ming sat on Baiyun Square, playing with the Five Thunders and Heavenly Ding flag in his hand, whispering to Yang Jiaqi in front of him,
Yang Jiaqi frowned slightly and looked at the front of the team: "I don't know. It stands to reason that Taoist Yubao hates these media reporters the most, but you see Taoist Yubao is sitting in the front now, and he doesn't seem to be expressing his opinion at all."

Song Ling heard the conversation between the two and interrupted them, saying jokingly, "Being high-profile is not good. Liu Ming, don't you like being high-profile the most? Walk around in front of the camera a few more times and put up a marriage advertisement. Damn, with the gimmick of being a formal disciple of Baiyun Taoist Academy, you can choose any loli or mature woman you want..."

"What are you saying? What are you saying? You are slandering me! Do you know that you are slandering me?" Liu Ming hurriedly interrupted Song Ling's fierce words and said righteously:
"Well, ask around in the entire Chunyang Palace, everyone knows that I, Liu Ming, am the most self-disciplined and devoted to Taoism! I am studying the Huangting Sutra, and I want to become a Taoist ancestor and heavenly master in the future!"

As he spoke, Liu Ming glanced at Yubao guiltily.

Song Ling seemed to have heard a big joke, covering her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud: "You playboy, you keep yourself clean? And you are devoted to Taoism? Liu Ming, Senior Sister Zheng Lu from the Performance Hall is still hiring someone to hunt you down at a high price!"

Yang Jiaqi also smiled, and shook her head slightly when she recalled some rumors: "Liu Ming, you are not really interested in Taoist Priest Yubao, are you? It's impossible. She is just a fairy who is not interested in worldly things. Look at yourself again?"

After saying that, Yang Jiaqi curled her lips and looked Liu Ming up and down. The most annoying thing was that she was shaking her head while looking him up.

Liu Ming saw Yang Jiaqi expose his secrets and laugh at him, and his face suddenly became a little tense: "Yang Jiaqi, you laugh at me? Of course you can laugh at me, your most threatening rival has gone down the mountain anyway, so you can sit back and relax and enjoy the success."

"What are you talking about? Love rival or not? I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Yang Jiaqi's face suddenly turned red, her face as rosy as a peach, and she turned around to hit Liu Ming.

The little movements of several people were sensed by Yubao in front. After opening his eyes and looking over here, the little ones returned to silence. Liu Ming's words were actually very annoying.

That is what happened, but how to say it and how to say it is very important.

Yang Jiaqi no longer paid attention to Liu Ming, and Song Ling's face darkened. She only looked at the empty seat in front of her.

That was the position belonging to Wang Shuhuan. Wang Shuhuan's thunder and fire refining had not yet been completed and he was still in seclusion.

Song Ling felt uncomfortable, she lowered her head and wiped her tears secretly: "A new generation replacing the old one?"

"I didn't expect that within a few months of your leaving, they would no longer even mention your name."

"Will Wang Shuhuan still remember you after he comes out of confinement?"

The small episode passed quickly, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, at eight o'clock in the morning, the second opening ceremony for freshmen of Baiyun Taoist Academy officially began.

Two sword lights, one blue and one red, rose from the back mountain and landed on the square. A huge wave of air suddenly rose on the square, making it impossible for the freshmen to open their eyes.

When the storm subsided, the freshmen opened their eyes and saw two large holes appearing on the bluestone square. Two figures, one in blue and one in white, flew up to the podium like flying birds.

The freshmen were greatly shocked and immediately became agitated. They stood up and leaned forward one by one, just to get a clear view of the two extraordinary figures on the stage.

Zhu Ling and Wang Xin maintained order while looking at the broken floor with distress.
Well, we have to call workers to come up the mountain to repair it.

Li Yang has always disliked clichés and unnecessary nonsense, so the whole process was quick. After the freshmen received their task cards and the freshman admission gift packs, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong gave encouraging speeches.

The content of Chi Yanhong's speech is naturally "The Ten Commandments of Baiyun"

"The first commandment is not to kill the little ones, so as to teach you to have compassion."

"The second commandment is not to have lustful thoughts, so that you can develop a pure heart."

"The third precept is not to have quarrelsome thoughts, which teaches you to be patient and patient."

"..."

"May sincerity move mountains and break stones. As long as you are sincere and determined to practice hard, you will not worry about not having the mercy of your teacher. After you receive the precepts, you will enter the Taoist sect and join the Taoist practice. Therefore, even if you are not blessed with good fortune and good fate, you will eventually achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven."

"The Ten Commandments of Baiyun" is the first sutra that freshmen of Baiyun Taoist Temple must learn after they go up the mountain. It is engraved on a large bluestone in front of Qiwu Garden and Linlang Palace, and disciples of the Taoist Temple can see it every day when they enter and leave the dormitory.

Seeing Chi Yanhong's serious expression, the freshmen dared not play or joke, and they all stood up and recited aloud.

Old actors like Liu Ming and Song Ling feel that time flies by and the seasons pass by. A year passes when they recite "Ten Commandments of Baiyun" once.

After everyone finished reciting and sat down, Li Yang slowly walked to the front of everyone amid everyone's anticipation. He looked around calmly and nodded. He was quite satisfied with the qualifications of this year's freshmen.

“I don’t know how many of you will be able to stay after a year, nor do I know how many of you will be able to feel the energy, how many will be able to enter the stage of spiritual awakening, and how many will be able to attain innateness.”

Clearing his throat, Li Yang continued, "The world of cultivation is very cruel. It is not beautiful at all. Those who are sincere may not achieve enlightenment, and those who are not ambitious may not fall into the mortal realm. Those who cultivate for immortality may not be able to achieve immortality, and those who have achieved freedom may find it difficult to achieve freedom."

The freshmen below did not know the deeper meaning of Li Yang's words. Only Chi Yanhong saw a trace of loneliness and fatigue in Li Yang's eyes when he said, 'Those who cultivate for immortality may not necessarily achieve immortality, and those who achieve freedom may find it difficult to achieve freedom.'

He is already a human immortal and has attained Yang Shen, which allows him to live for eight hundred years. His achievement of Yang Shen has allowed him to transcend the Three Realms and Six Paths, allowing him to never reincarnate like the Ximo Zhenzong.

This is already the immortal and free person in the traditional sense of the Chinese people.

But with powerful enemies all around, even Li Yang did not have absolute confidence in the battle twenty years later. If he attacked the strong from below, one wrong move would lead to his death, and all his attempts at eternal life would be in vain.

Li Yang continued to talk, although his words were few and thought-provoking: "The movement of the heaven and earth's Qi is sometimes dry and sometimes full. To understand the path to the Mysterious Gate, one must have one's character, one's bone structure, one's chance, and one's luck. None of them can be missing."

Li Yang suppressed his strange feelings, and his face straightened. His voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch, like the crack of metal and stone, waking up the sleepy people in the audience: "You are now admitted to the Taoist temple, which is your destiny."

"Perhaps in one year, or two years, or within ten years, I will select someone from the Taoist Academy's outstanding disciples to be my personal disciple and pass on my Taoist tradition."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Baiyun Square below suddenly fell into an uproar.

Li Zhenjun wants to accept a disciple? A personal disciple?
Not only the freshmen were uneasy, but the veterans as well. Those who were at the top in cultivation, such as Yang Xinwu and Yan Fu, were even more excited and eager to try.

Being a disciple of Baiyun Taoist Temple and being Li Yang's direct disciple are two completely different concepts. This person is invincible in the world. If one could really become his disciple, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step and overlooking the world.

"Those who are destined to meet Li Yang can see him, and those who meet him can achieve immortality." This is not an empty talk!
Li Yang looked at the noisy and noisy chattering below, his face turned cold, and a huge pressure immediately covered the whole place. The nearly 2,000 disciples, both new and old, felt creepy and frightened, and dared not speak in private anymore.

However, although his face was calm, the burning restlessness in his heart could not be calmed down.

Seeing that the crowd was finally quiet, Li Yang turned his head and looked at Liu Ming, Yang Xinwu and other senior students who had passed the assessment period:

"In addition, among the formal disciples of the Second Chunyang Yanfa Hall, there will be a Chunyang Class A and a Yanfa Class A. Each class will have 36 students. The selection will be held in the year after the assessment period. Fellow Daoist Chi and I will announce the selection criteria in a few days."

"This class will pass down the fetal breathing method from the 'Jade Leaf and Golden Tablet'."

The so-called benefits of Chunyang Acting Class A were just this light sentence, nothing else, and all the students were confused.

However, when Zhu Ling heard the words "Jade Leaf and Golden Tablet", his eyes suddenly widened.
