Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 349 Portal
Several days later, as the world of Liaozhai was upgraded, countless blessings and the power of the Heavenly Dao poured into Baiyujing, eventually expanding this immortal abode into the third realm of this world, the Immortal Realm.

Many immortals who comprehended the Great Dao were granted authority by the Heavenly Dao, and were given the power to govern the Great Dao and fulfill their duties. They also became immortals who lived as long as the heavens.

At this moment, deep within the Jade Capital, in the magnificent Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

Wearing a crown and a white-gold imperial robe, Niu Yi looked down at the Demon Lord, who was pinned to the ground by the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd and whose aura was extremely weak.

At this moment, the Demon Lord was bound by golden rune chains, and all his demonic energy was suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world, unable to reveal even a trace of it. The power within his body was also being constantly worn down by the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd, which was constantly emitting a faint white light.

Even the Demon Lord's divine consciousness has been sealed by Niu Yi with a restriction.

He Liansheng half-squatted beside the Demon Lord, ignoring the constant trembling of the demonic sword in his arms. After a while, he stood up and nodded, saying:

"If this continues, in less than a hundred years, this guy will be completely suppressed by you, with no chance of ever rising again."

Niu Yi shook his head slightly.

"No matter what, this Demon Lord is a Great Luo Realm cultivator who has attained the Dao Fruit. He cannot be underestimated. Even with the Heavenly Dao's erosion in this world, it would probably take ten thousand years to completely destroy him."

“Ten thousand years is too long. I will not stay in this world for too long, as things may change. It is better to send him to the Three Realms as soon as possible, where someone will take care of him.”

Looking at the halberd that had pinned the Demon Lord to the ground, He Liansheng nodded with emotion and said:
"That's good. I see that you have a very deep foundation in the Three Realms, so it's no wonder that you are the one who came to this world."

He Liansheng shifted his gaze upwards to the lowest point of the halberd shaft, right next to the pointed end, where there was a line of writing.

"The Sun and Moon Steel Halberd weighs 21,000 jin."

"If I'm not mistaken, was this halberd forged by one of the Three Pure Ones? Perhaps the Supreme Dao Ancestor? Shennong had a set of farming tools bestowed upon him by the Supreme Dao Ancestor; it seems very similar."

"Indeed, this halberd was bestowed upon us by the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

Niu Yi nodded with a smile, slowly walked down the jade steps, came to He Liansheng's side, and looked at the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd in front of him.

It's definitely easier to use your own family's magic weapon.
However, like other magical treasures, the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd still has a lot of room for improvement, so it should be sent back to the Three Realms as soon as possible to be nurtured there.

However, this world also needs something that can suppress the Heavenly Dao and ensure the stable operation of the world even when he is no longer here. That is the Heavenly Dao Treasure that represents the authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

Niu Yi turned to look at the pitch-black demonic sword in He Liansheng's arms.

"If I were to assist you with the incense offerings of the Divine Physician Daojun, how long would it take to completely purify this demonic sword?"

This demonic sword is, after all, a magic weapon belonging to a Great Luo Realm expert. Although it is a demonic magic weapon, its essence is still there. If it can be completely purified and refined, it would be sufficient to be used as a Heavenly Dao magic weapon.

He Liansheng pondered for a moment and said:
"Once you send this Demon Lord to the Three Realms to completely suppress him, I can begin refining him. If I want to complete the task, a hundred years will be enough."

"but."

He Liansheng looked at Niu Yi, his expression somewhat complicated, and said:

"Once this matter is resolved, may I use your 'portal' that you are currently building to travel to the Three Realms?"

"Of course it's possible."

Niu Yi nodded with a smile and readily agreed to the matter. Although each teleportation required a massive amount of incense and spiritual energy, it was not a big deal for Niu Yi as long as he did not activate it frequently.

On the other hand, this green lotus was left behind by Shennong, and it had also helped him, so it was only right to agree to his small request. "Thank you."

Upon hearing this, He Liansheng bowed respectfully to Niu Yi.

He hadn't seen what the Three Realms looked like for many years. Now that Shennong had disappeared and the crisis in this world had been resolved by the person in front of him, perhaps he could go back to the Three Realms to take a look.

And this person before me seems to be quite an extraordinary being in the Three Realms.
After Niu Yi and He Liansheng finished discussing the matter, the two left the Heavenly Emperor Palace together and temporarily sealed the Demon Lord inside.

Niu Yi was not worried about the Demon Lord causing any trouble. In this world, if any situation required his attention, the Heavenly Dao would issue a warning, and he could also see the entire world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio with a single thought.

As soon as the two left, He Liansheng took his leave and returned to his residence in Baiyujing to prepare for refining the demonic sword.

Niu Yi headed towards the incense passage that had fallen into the Three Realms, but he was blocked by a pine tree that suddenly appeared on the jade bridge when he was only halfway there.

Niu Yi smiled and patted the pine tree in front of him.

“Junior brother, in this world, only you and I understand the transformation technique of creating an avatar. Yours is far too obvious.”

"Hehe, it's just that it's too boring here, senior brother~"

As a burst of laughter rang out, the pine tree in front of Niu Yi rapidly transformed in a flash of light, becoming the figure of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and laughed:

"Senior brother, I'm really not used to you looking like this. I wonder how your cultivation is progressing and when you will be able to return to the Three Realms?"

Niu Yi joked:
"If we can achieve this every time, we might be able to return to the Three Realms and attain the Primordial Dao Fruit in a few thousand years."

His gains this time were indeed excellent. Since he mastered the Heavenly Dao of this world, there were no more secrets in this world for him. Everything was laid out before him, waiting for him to carefully comprehend it.

During this period, his understanding of the Primordial Dao Fruit will surely increase greatly. According to Niu Yi's calculations, this period will be about three hundred years.

Niu Yi looked at the white jade palace he had created.

Three hundred years is enough time for him to arrange everything in this world, to fully comprehend its laws, and to continue his next journey.
Sun Wukong couldn't help but scratch the back of his hand and whispered:

"Thousands of years, that's a long time."

Niu Yi chuckled:
"It's not long, it's not long. How long have we been cultivating? If we can achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit before this era ends, that's enough. Several thousand years isn't a long time."

"Let's go. It's not a good idea to keep the incense channel open all the time. We should hurry up and welcome Zhang and Lu to connect the two worlds as soon as possible."

"Alright, alright, I see that you've taken care of things here, Senior Brother. I should return to the Three Realms as soon as possible and ask your Dao Lord avatar for some peaches to eat."

Niu Yi nodded with a smile and said:
"Go ahead, go ahead. If it weren't for your help this time, the Demon Lord wouldn't have been so easy to deal with."

"There are plenty of peaches. If you want to eat them, you can pick as many peaches as you like from my mountain."

Sun Wukong chuckled.

"Tch~ That fiend even calls himself the Demon Lord, he's nothing but a heretical demonic cultivator~"
