Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Chapter 88 Today I'll Break Through to the Sixth Rank! Promotion to "Minister of Agriculture" (Ninth Update, Please Subscribe!)

Swish!

The fairy of Gushe floated in the air between heaven and earth, her white robes whiter than snow, her sleeves fluttering, looking down over the vast fairyland.

The glaciers stretch out like silver dragons lying on their backs, the lush vegetation meets the vast blue sea, the waterfalls hang from the sky and the mythical beasts roam freely, creating a magnificent and ever-changing landscape.

She touched her brow and looked around.

"It seems like outsiders have been here before?"

She slept here for nearly sixty years, completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

Now that they have awakened, they have sensed something unusual, though they are puzzled by it.

Beyond the Gushe Immortal Realm lies the ancient forbidden land of Jiaosha, unchanged for ten thousand years, further isolated by the Eternal Sword Formation. Even a Dao Ancestor who has received the Dao six times would find it difficult to cross this barrier. So why would an outsider enter?!

Swish.

With a flick of her finger, the threads of cause and effect easily reappeared.

The unique Karma Immortal Technique passed down by the Gushe Immortal Sect is extremely profound. It can grasp any trace in the world and see through it easily. Before meeting Jiang Tu, it was always invincible.

Swish!

The images immediately appeared clearly, and even the Taoist gate could not hide them.

The first incident was a strange disaster in Dajiang County—more than a hundred farmers and tens of thousands of innocent people perished in the monsters.

She examined it closely and easily discovered the cause of this strange disaster: it was ordered by Qing Shuzi, a Taoist master from Lingjiang Temple, who, fearing the development of agriculture, decided to eradicate evil completely, which led to the monsters that destroyed Dajiang County.

A faint hint of disgust flashed across Gu Shexian's brows, and her jade-like face shifted between light and shadow.

"These disciples are becoming increasingly unworthy of their positions, treating human life as worthless. For their own selfish gain, they are willing to use evil to destroy a city, causing immense suffering to countless innocent people."

She let out a long sigh, her heart filled with unresolved resentment.

Unfortunately, her master had repeatedly taught her that as a successor of the Gushe Immortal Sect, she must never act rashly, much less change the course of the world.

After the collapse of the heavens 30,000 years ago, Buddhism and Taoism occupied the east and west respectively, achieving great success and establishing a stable order in the world.

She cannot interfere under any circumstances, otherwise the future will be unpredictable and the causes and effects will change, making it impossible to foresee the future. Many of the mysterious immortal techniques and prophetic abilities of the Gushe Immortal Sect will be rendered useless, and even her cultivation on the Immortal Path will suffer the backlash of karma.

Thinking of this, she remembered something else.

"Now, because of my little husband, the cause and effect of the world throughout history has changed dramatically, causing many of my sect's immortal techniques to become ineffective within decades, making it difficult to foresee the changes in cause and effect in the near and future —"

"My dear husband, you have truly committed heinous crimes!"

"However—if you can truly teach those Buddhist and Taoist sects to change the world, and bring some blessings to all people, then I will forgive you."

As the scenes unfolded through the cause-and-effect relationships, she became increasingly amazed and deeply shocked.

It turns out that after the strange disaster in Dajiang County, the Taoist sect accidentally discovered that the remains of Nong Xiu after his death could purify the earth and regenerate it, dispel the strange energy, and solve the stubborn disaster that had plagued the strange realm for 30,000 years.

This led to the later great cultivation of agriculture by Taoist schools.

Only then could the Lingjiang Daoist sect devise a century-long plan to restore the ancient forbidden land and gradually explore beyond the Eternal Sword Formation.

Gu Shexian let out another long sigh.

"My dear husband, it is still your agricultural path sequence that brought about this change in cause and effect."

After dozens of lifetimes of cultivation, her mind had long been undisturbed and indifferent to external things. But now, because of her young husband, her temperament seems to have become much more petty. She sighs and complains at the drop of a hat, feeling helpless and melancholy.

She could only repeatedly comfort herself, telling herself not to argue with that guy, since she had made a mistake in marrying him.

But when she traced back to the day of the massacre, a blood-weeping deer spirit descended and was born, and was able to lead Wang Congyun into the depths of the Eternal Sword Formation unharmed, she became increasingly confused and fell into deep thought.

"That Blood-Weeping Deer Spirit seems to be a wondrous creature born of nature within the agricultural sequence, concealing divine will behind it. Furthermore, our Gushe Immortal Sect shares a common origin with the sequence's source, thus allowing it to easily bypass the protective sword formation established by our ancestors and enter and leave this place freely!"

"This further proves that there is a significant connection between my ancient path to immortality and my little husband's new path to immortality, and it is by no means a coincidence."

She looked around, and her mood changed again.

If Lu Ling brings more farmers from the outside world into the Gu She Immortal Realm in the future, this place will inevitably be entangled with her in a great karmic connection.

Furthermore, given the ever-changing political landscape of Jiangzhou and the emergence of the agricultural road system, it is certain that dragons and snakes will rise from the land and bring about great changes to the world within the next hundred or thousand years.

This place is no longer safe to stay!

Her gaze was fixed on the south, as if passing through an ancient sword formation, through the land of Jiangmei, and extending to a distant and unknowable realm.

In her next life, she will inevitably choose a place where her husband and the agricultural order cannot interfere with the cause and effect in the short term. She pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly to herself.

"Let's choose Suizhou."

Suizhou was the southernmost part of the Daomen territory, the southernmost of the ten prefectures, while Jiang and Mei prefectures were the northernmost two prefectures of Daomen.

One in the south and one in the north, spanning the vast and mysterious land, they are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.

No matter how rapidly agricultural roads develop, they would never extend all the way to the south of Suizhou without hundreds of years of vicissitudes.

She would then be free from the interference of karma and could peacefully undergo tribulations to break through to the tenth realm.

"My dear husband, please behave yourself—stop maliciously disrupting the cause and effect and delaying my tribulation!"

As she looked back at this paradise, a faint sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

From birth, she was chosen by her master to be here. Through more than two thousand four hundred years of vicissitudes, and despite constantly reincarnating and undergoing tribulations, her original form has always remained unchanged.

The land has never left.

There's not much reluctance about parting now; it's just a fleeting look back.

She glanced around quietly, then left with the star hidden in her sleeve.

Brush brush!

In an instant, the human and the cat shrank the earth to an inch, traversing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, and had already left the fairyland.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly clutched her high, proud chest, feeling uneasy and inexplicably feeling a sense of attachment and reluctance to part.

Oops.

Master often said that the most important thing for one to maintain a firm and unwavering Dao heart through countless eons is to have no attachments in the world and to never be tainted by the heavy karmic obstacles between people!

"What a terrible little husband—he actually disturbed my Dao heart today, almost shattering it!"

But the thought that if she left like this, she might never see her husband again for all eternity left her feeling somewhat empty.

"Forget it, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness!"

brush!

Swish!

As she murmured to herself, her slender, delicate hand extended, and boundless, profound Daoist techniques flowed forth, merging into the Eternal Sword Formation and disappearing into the sword-shaped Black Mountain.

on.

Buzz!

clank!

In an instant, the countless sword forests stretching endlessly trembled wildly, like the tolling of bells and drums.

The Eternal Sword Formation unleashed a torrent of swords, their energy resonating and surging.

The female sword, especially the one that was suppressed on the black mountain in the shape of a sword, trembled violently, its light flowing like a dragon, as if it were being summoned.

This sword is called "Tianyan," and it is the first of the sixteen immortal jade swords passed down through generations of the Gushe Immortal Sect.

"Tianyan, I leave you with a wisp of my will. If my little husband Jiang Tu ever faces a life-or-death calamity, you must save him once."

"Thus, my lifelong bond with him is severed; I must not harbor any further delusions!"

brush!

Without further hesitation, her figure transformed into celestial mist and vanished in an instant.

The glacier is silent, the fairyland is speechless.

The ancient sword formation hummed and hummed, and the Gushe Immortal Realm was deserted, except for the immortal sword "Tianyan" which continued to tremble.

Lone Goose City.

Wang Congyun was still in a daze after escaping the blood deer.

After several months away, he felt as if he had been in another world—the Blood Deer had taken him to the outskirts of the city and then disappeared without a trace, just as it had come, and he had no idea where it had gone.

After a while.

Wang Family Private Residence.

Li Xiaobing and Yan Xin had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him return, they immediately went to greet him, and their expressions relaxed.

"Brother Wang Dao, how are you?"

After his Dao heart shattered that day, Dong Daozi concealed Wang Congyun's whereabouts, telling the outside world that he was in seclusion cultivating the Dao.

Therefore, during these months, outsiders did not notice his disappearance. Only these two people, who were closest to him, were naturally worried when they did not see him for several months and waited for him day and night in his private residence.

"fine."

Upon entering the city, Wang Congyun immediately went to visit his mentor, Dong Daozi, to thank him for his help in concealing the truth, and also to inquire about his recent activities.

However, after searching everywhere in and around the city and the forbidden area without finding any trace of him, he had no choice but to return to his private residence to make further plans.

Yan and Xin looked him up and down, and in a daze, they both felt that he had undergone a complete transformation after not seeing him for several months.

His aura was strong and his cultivation had greatly improved, making him unfathomable. Even his demeanor and speech were more composed, as if he had truly become a centuries-old Taoist with a calm and still mind. There was no trace of his former unease or tension. How could the two of them know that this was due to the opening of his Dao meridians, which helped him stabilize his Dao body and undergo a complete transformation?

"Has anything happened at Jiaosha recently? Why haven't we seen Master and Uncle-Master guarding the Daoist front lines?"

Li Xiaobing's expression turned grim, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Dao, you probably don't know yet, but something terrible has happened!"

"After the massacre that day, Master Qing discovered that the flesh and blood of the farmers could indeed permeate the Eternal Sword Formation, slightly improving its oppressive power—if more of the flesh and blood of the farmers were used to fill it, it might actually be possible to carve out a path through that impenetrable sword formation, allowing several people to pass through!"

"At that time, a true immortal can enter and guide the millennia-old lineage back to its rightful place!"

"Therefore, Master Qingshu and Master Dongdao are discussing the strategy for entering the sword formation together, so you naturally cannot find them."

What?!

Wang Congyun was shocked, and his heart sank.

He immediately sensed that his foundation was becoming unstable again, and his three perfected realms were shaking violently, as if he were about to fall.

He quickly calmed his mind, realizing that this was the work of a demon. He took several deep breaths to stabilize his Dao heart and finally suppressed the shock and palpitations.

But I couldn't help but think about it.

Oh no, this is absolutely terrible!

This time, the Taoist sect has tasted the sweetness of success, but the agricultural sect may face turmoil and be in grave danger of being destroyed in a single day!

Previously, there was a foundation for more than 20 years of development, and the total number of agricultural cultivators exceeded tens of thousands. Although they were divided into four directions, they also benefited from the misfortune and gained the opportunity to spread their teachings and knowledge. The teachings were passed down in all directions and formed a myriad of phenomena.

But once the Daoist sect confirms that the flesh and blood of agricultural cultivators can truly break through the sword formation, the consequences will be unimaginable. They will likely have no more scruples and will relentlessly harvest the agricultural path. Even if it's killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, they will not stop until they completely overthrow the agricultural path and uproot the entire system!

He was bound to start planning early!

Fortunately, the appearance of the Blood-Weeping Deer Spirit has left a glimmer of hope for both the agricultural path and him!

If Lu Ling could lead him into the sword formation unharmed, then if there were another massacre in the future, he might be able to use Lu Ling's help to lead all the farmers into the immortal realm for refuge.

However, his strength is currently limited, and this matter needs to be considered carefully. Furthermore, it is even more difficult to keep it from Dongdaozi and Qingshuzi.

Although his master helped him stabilize his Dao body and open his Dao meridians, he might not be of one mind with him. His master's schemes lie in the Elder Council, or even in the position of sect leader. He is unlikely to help him plan the matter of saving the agricultural path, as this would create complications and arouse suspicion.

Wang Congyun slowly closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "This matter must not be made public—you two should remain calm for now, while I think it over carefully and make plans in secret. Perhaps there will be a turning point—"

Li Xiaobing and Yan Xin exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and asked no further questions.

They trusted Wang Congyun—but the problem was, even with all his wisdom and resourcefulness, how could the young Taoist priest deal with such a catastrophe?

The tide has turned and there's no going back!

Sunset and moonrise, half a month has passed in a flash.

Yingfeng City, Rong Residence.

A place of seclusion.

Jiang Tu suddenly opened his eyes, a burst of light shooting out like a thunderclap, shattering the long, silent night!

The elixir of enlightenment was completely dissipated, and with the combined blessing of the "Farmer's Bone" and "Farmer's Heart" enlightenments, a profound and natural understanding arose in his heart, causing the gate to loosen and tremble significantly.

Within it, a spiritual light shot out, reaching ten thousand feet high, seemingly filling the entire quiet room with the spiritual light of the Farmer's Way and the energy of heaven and earth.

His cultivation level suddenly reached an unprecedented peak. Immediately afterward, the heavens and earth faintly conveyed a sense of calling, as if the Great Dao was calling to him from the darkness, about to issue an edict to bestow upon him a position, an official post, and a Dao.

Is this... the way to seek the mandate of Heaven and Earth?!

The official in charge of agriculture said that after years of seclusion and the addition of century-old beans, the decree from Heaven and Earth could indeed replace the ritual. He was right!

Sixth-rank "Minister of Agriculture | Can be broken with a flick of the finger, let's break through the barrier today!"

He raised his hand and grabbed a crystal-clear green bean, the size of a baby's fist, from the void. It was none other than the century-old refined bean that had been prepared for so long.

It contains a century of experience; just holding it in your hand makes you feel the vicissitudes of a century pass in a flash, bringing clarity to your mind and stabilizing your Daoist heart.

Without further hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

The green beans went down my throat with a thunderous roar!

Click click click click!

A powerful, surging Daoist aura erupted from Chen Dou, easily pushing open the gate to the sixth rank.

There were no cracks on the door that forcefully broke through the barrier; it was only a natural result of water flowing into a channel.

As the greenery flourished, the spiritual light of heaven and earth danced and unfolded, and the quiet room was instantly filled with lush greenery. The earth seemed to tremble and reverberate in response, and the world was in constant turmoil!

The gates of the sixth rank, which had been shackled for over twenty years, were suddenly flung open, and a brand new world had arrived!

Heaven and earth are open and transparent, the agricultural path leads to a peaceful and prosperous land.

In a daze, he seemed to understand what it meant for all things to be born with him, for heaven and earth to be one with him, and for the earth beneath his feet to be an extension of his own life force.

The position of "Minister of Agriculture" has been filled!

A complete transformation, transcending the ordinary and attaining sainthood—this is nothing more than that.

Once you reach the sixth rank, you'll be reborn!

A world turned upside down!
