Chapter 329 Seven Veins Unite, Mountain and River Map
A tremendous fortune descended from the heavens.

Yu Que stood in front of the Tai Sui Temple, and was momentarily astonished by such good fortune.

He observed carefully and discovered that the amount of fortune surging from the Tai Sui Temple at this moment was no less than that of the other five ancestral temples, and even slightly surpassed them.

This situation is quite different from its shabby appearance.

However, upon closer reflection, Yu Que understood and realized the truth.

The other five ancestral temples, as well as the Tiandi Temple, have been consuming their fortune year after year. Although they have accumulated a lot, they have also consumed a lot.

The Tai Sui Ancestral Temple is different. It has been closed off for a long time, and the fortune of the Tai Sui lineage has not been depleted by anyone.

In addition, the cultivation of the Tai Sui lineage has increased significantly in recent years compared to the past.

Its nearly thousand-year-old reserves have never been depleted, so having this much is actually quite a lot.

Faced with the fortune of the Tai Sui lineage, Yu Que was filled with emotion, and for a moment he was even reluctant to waste it.

After all, compared to the Yama King's lineage, the Tai Sui lineage was undoubtedly somewhat special to him, especially now that he had inherited the Taiyin Sword Sect's legacy.

But despite his feelings of admiration, with so much good fortune laid out before him, how could Yu Que possibly not take advantage of it?

He immediately waved his hand, and the fortune above the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple poured into his fairy garden and accumulated there.

Because the fortune descended from the heavens, but was somewhat obstructed by the array formations of those imperial tombs that had been used for worship for a single dynasty.

Yu Que frowned, and he simply released his own Baiyujing Immortal Garden, directly crushing or leveling all the tombs that were blocked above the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple.

Rumble!
The massive commotion that occurred beneath the capital city once again filled the people there with apprehension, who thought that the battle between Yu Que and Tian Ce Hou had not yet ended and had begun again.

Those Huangshan disciples and other Daoist disciples who were slowly breathing in their fortune on the altar of heaven were also startled and opened their eyes.

Then they witnessed an amazing scene.

In the center of the Temple of Heaven, a cave-in occurred, and Yu Que, supporting a thatched hut, slowly rose from the ground.

The building was enveloped in a strong aura of good fortune. Putting aside its appearance, its imposing presence was in no way inferior to the Five Ancestral Temples on the Temple of Heaven!

"What is this?"

"After a single day of offerings, are such treasures still hidden underground?"

Those knowledgeable immortals present, based on the aura emanating from the thatched hut, began to make some guesses.

At this moment, Yu Que seemed to sense everyone's doubts. He looked at the thatched hut in front of him and sighed:
"This is the ancestral temple of the Tai Sui lineage."

"For the sake of a single dynasty's incense offerings, it was suppressed by the tombs of emperors for centuries, and today it has finally been able to see the light of day again."

These words reached the ears of the others, causing many of them to display interesting expressions.

In particular, there was a small group of immortals among them, who were either minor cultivators or major cultivators of the Tai Sui lineage.

These immortals suddenly stood up, their eyes fixed intently on the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple.

"How hateful! I never imagined that the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple was actually suppressed within the dragon vein."

"These guys who only serve one day are truly treacherous and utterly depraved!"

Their curses were cold and harsh.

At the same time, there were also immortals with tears streaming down their faces:

"Alas! I have finally seen the ancestral temple of Tai Sui."

"Haha, it wasn't for nothing that I made this special trip to the capital to just go through the motions. I never expected to be accepted or pass the exam, after all, the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple isn't even among the Five Temples!"

Whoohoo!
Amid the discussions among the crowd.

Because the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple had been completely rediscovered, an immense aura descended from the sky, permeating the area and suppressing the aura of the other five ancestral temples for a time.

Yu Que looked at these energies and slowly collected them.

But suddenly, he noticed something amiss.

As soon as the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple appeared, the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple, which he had just set up in the distance, began to buzz and seemed to want to stand up and rush over to this place.

The commotion startled the incense master who was still near the Temple of Heaven and Earth, who was filled with fear that something had happened to the temple again.

Not only the Temple of Heaven and Earth, but also the Five Ancestral Temples above the Temple of Heaven were humming and trembling.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Seven golden pillars of fortune rose from above the seven ancestral temples, and the fortunes of the seven lineages merged into one, forming a golden auspicious cloud.

Just as the capital city had begun to calm down, another major disturbance erupted.

Yu Que curiously observed this scene.

He discovered that the Gate of Immortality, which had been put away, was also faintly emerging from the golden auspicious clouds.

"Seven meridians converging, does this mean something else is about to appear?" Yu Que wondered to himself.

And just as he had predicted, things unfolded.

Within the auspicious clouds where the seven meridians of fortune converged, countless scenes appeared, including old Taoists chanting, children learning to speak, women singing, and farmers tilling the land. The mountains and rivers of the Central Plains seemed to be contained within them.

The Taoist priests at the Temple of Heaven exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Lotus Peak of my Huangshan Mountain?"

"Isn't this Guling Town in my Lushan?"

They all caught glimpses of their respective Taoist palaces amidst auspicious clouds.

Yu Que did not merely stand by and watch; he immediately and forcefully channeled his divine sense into the auspicious cloud to see what was happening.

As a result, a message actively rushed into his consciousness from the auspicious clouds, transforming into the five large characters "Mountains and Rivers Map" and appearing in Yu Que's heart.

This item is actually a magical artifact, and its status is quite high.

Because within the magic treasure, there was actually a nascent immortal garden, or even a nascent blessed land!

According to the message, since the birth of the immortals in the Central Plains, each dynasty has established its own blessed land with dragon energy. However, these blessed lands with dragon energy are pseudo-blessed lands, and they can hardly even compare to immortal gardens.

The Dragon's Blessed Land can only house the spirits of fallen heroes; it cannot house living people.

Whenever a dynasty falls, the blessed land of dragon energy will also shatter on its own, unable to protect the heroes and martyrs of that dynasty. When a new dynasty is established, the dragon energy gathers and will spontaneously condense into a new blessed land of dragon energy.

However, over tens of thousands of years, those blessed lands of dragon energy that have come and gone have not ultimately perished in the world, but have been incorporated into the mountains and rivers of the nation.

Over tens of thousands of years, countless dynasties accumulated their auspicious energies, eventually nurturing a nascent blessed land within the landscape map!

Its area spans tens of thousands of miles, resembling a miniature version of the Middle-earth. Furthermore, it remains unowned, as no immortal has yet been able to refine it.

If you want to refine it, you either need to approach the level of an Earth Immortal, merge with it, and use this to break through to become an Earth Immortal, then you can make it your own.

Either a celestial being must be alive to refine it into a magical artifact.

Apart from these two methods, there is no other way in the world to refine it and obtain it.

This is also a treasure accumulated by countless immortals in the Central Plains since the establishment of the immortal system, who contributed their fortune during their lifetime and their ancestral temples after their death!
Those who obtain it can attain the Dao and become an Earth Immortal, possess a blessed land, or have the opportunity to protect all things, or even ascend from their homes to become a Celestial Immortal and escape to the Dao Secret Realm!
As Yu Que sorted through his thoughts, aside from his initial surprise, he also thought to himself:
"The ancients left behind this map of mountains and rivers to make up for a major shortcoming in the path to becoming a celestial being."

As far as he knew, blessed lands and grotto-heavens were shortcuts to becoming earth immortals or celestial immortals!
Especially in the current Daoist Mystic Realm, without the nourishment of blessed lands or grotto-heavens, it would be impossible for Earth Immortals or Heavenly Immortals to emerge. After all, the origin of the Daoist Mystic Realm is extremely thin, and the fact that it could nurture multiple True Immortals already indicates that its foundation was once incredibly strong.

As Yu Que and the many immortals gazed upon the magnificent landscape painting,

It is located in a region far on the edge of Central China.

The two True Immortals who were waging war overseas were tens of thousands of miles apart, but they both raised their eyes and looked back at the capital of the Central Plains.

In their eyes, the fortune of the Central Plains converged into threads, surging continuously toward the direction of the capital.

"Is this commotion the appearance of the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers'?"

Such a thought appeared in both of their minds at the same time, leaving them both surprised and astonished.

For a time, both of them felt somewhat numb, both physically and mentally.

In just over a month, the two of them have gone from initial wariness to current anxiety, experiencing several dramatic emotional fluctuations.

The two thought that even if a true immortal appeared in the Central Plains region, or if their grand plan to conquer the Central Plains was thwarted, they would no longer have any emotional fluctuations.

Unexpectedly, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" has now appeared!

After a moment of intense thought, their eyes gleamed with fervor:
"This picture is a treasure of mountains and rivers, which was created by Taoists from all over the world in order to plan for the future, imitating the legendary treasure of mountains and seas."

Unfortunately, it was ultimately seized by these immortals through their treacherous schemes and enshrined within the fortune of the Central Plains!

"But it's all for the best. If it weren't for the fortune of successive dynasties in the Central Plains, nourishing it with the world as its sustenance, such a treasure would never have been cultivated. It's beyond human capability."

Both True Immortal cultivators were ultimately filled with only one thought:
"This treasure must be related to me; it will help me attain the Dao of the Earth Immortal!"

The reason why the two of them are attacking the Central Plains is not only to reclaim the Central Plains and gain the upper hand in this spiritual revival.

The deepest purpose is actually to plot the "Map of Mountains and Rivers", and to seek the opportunity to become an earth immortal, or even a celestial immortal!

Now that the treasure has appeared, how can we continue to slowly conquer the Central Plains?
With a whoosh, the two True Immortals made their decision immediately.

They abandoned the Dao Palace they were attacking, and they also abandoned their disciples who were dying without hesitation.

The two transformed into streaks of light, hurtling towards the capital of the Central Plains at an unimaginable speed.

If we continue to delay, even if the treasure is not ruined by the immortals of the Central Plains, it may be seized and refined by that old black ghost (old white monster).

This is something neither of them can accept!

They hurried on their way, their hearts filled with anxiety.

The only thing that could give them some peace of mind was that the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" had appeared more than once in historical records.

However, each time, because no one became an immortal, or even if someone did become an immortal, no one with the right destiny was born, no one successfully obtained this treasure.

Therefore, in their view, even if the immortals of the Central Plains released this treasure, they would not be able to refine it, at least not in the short term.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Even so, the two of them still wished they possessed the power to tear open space and instantly teleport to the capital, lest something unexpected happen if they were too late.

………………

In the capital city.

Yu Que silently digested the information about the Mountain and River Map, while also paying attention to the many old immortals on the Altar of Heaven, exchanging information about the object with them.

With the additions from many experienced immortals, he suddenly gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Mountain and River Map.

A half-step Nascent Soul Immortal, his voice aged, said: "It is said that this object is the source of life and fortune for our Dao Secret Realm. I hope that True Immortal Yu will treat it with care."

Yu Que looked up at the map of the land and nodded slightly.

But the next moment, he reached his hand into the sky.

Its palm grew to a size of a thousand feet, tearing at the vast mountains and rivers, attempting to create a gash in them.

This scene immediately drew tense stares from many immortals.

They either hoped Yu Que would prove himself, or they were worried about the treasure map.

As a result, the remaining True Immortal power surged forth, but it only shook the treasure map slightly, causing its appearance to fluctuate, and it failed to tear open a hole.

Given its vast expanse, it is truly difficult to find a way to refine it without entering its territory.

This made Yu Que think to himself, "Could it be that one must cultivate to at least the level of a near-Earth Immortal to refine this diagram?"

He squinted, not believing the superstition whatsoever.

“What our predecessors envisioned was refining this treasure without a Celestial Garden,” Yu Que muttered to himself. “But I am different from them; I possess a Celestial Garden myself.”

Such a vast and unclaimed celestial garden, placed before him, was like a huge resource, waiting for him to use the celestial garden to devour it.

Do it when you think of it.

Yu Que did not hesitate for long. He immediately stepped out and appeared under the golden auspicious clouds. Then he revealed his Jade Palace, which covered all directions.

In an instant, a strange sight appeared before everyone's eyes.

In the sky, two mirage-like scenes appeared, one gold and one white.

Yu Que lifted his own Jade Palace and swallowed the Mountain and River Map, attempting to absorb it all in one go and then slowly digest it.

However, his once invincible fairy garden has suffered a setback.

That vast map of mountains and rivers was not as ethereal as it appeared on the surface; rather, it seemed to resemble the real world, even more substantial than the real world itself.

Yu Que could only swallow a small part of the vast Jade Capital Immortal Garden, which spanned over a thousand miles.

Even with Xianyuan taking action, it was just like when he himself made a move; there was no way to get a word in edgewise.
