Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 460 459. The First Scene of the Eight Scenes of Taiqing (Two Chapters in One)

Through the sword spirit of time, Lei Jun practiced meditation.

At this moment, he seemed to be immersed in the long river of time. As time passed, his own perception of time and the passage of time in the outside world formed an inexplicable distortion.

It is not like a day in heaven equals a year on earth, where the passage of time and the course of his life are accelerated, but under the influence of the Time Sword Spirit, the time he spends on cultivation is invisibly shortened, and he can complete his accumulation of cultivation in a shorter time.

When it comes to understanding the Tao, it is difficult to take shortcuts at many key points, and Lei Jun still needs to carefully study the many mysteries of the Tao.

When Lei Jun gradually mastered the relevant tricks, the use of the Time Sword Spirit could save him a lot of time required for hard work, thus greatly speeding up his own practice.

For Lei Jun, who has natural understanding and has learned many skills almost without a teacher, this Time Sword Spirit is undoubtedly just what he needs at the moment.

"Unfortunately, it's not easy to form." Lei Jun flicked the Time Blade Spirit with his fingers.

It is not just a matter of a martial immortal drawing his sword that his sword intent can condense into this treasure.

Even if the mysterious artistic conception of the Abyss of Time is involved, it is still not enough to directly create the Sword Spirit of Time.

It also involves a world like Daju. Since the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, chaos in heaven and earth has been accumulating for thousands of years, and spiritual energy has been surging.

With the accumulation of spiritual energy and time, an unexpected transformation eventually occurred due to the sword intent of the martial immortal Yan Rizhong and the mysterious artistic conception of the Abyss of Time.

Even if other martial immortals wanted to use the Abyss of Time to create a second Time Blade, they would also need to spend a lot of time.

Strictly speaking, it may not be unworthy of a try depending on the circumstances, but it is clear that results will not be seen in the coming years.

Lei Jun will use this time sword spirit to help him practice.

At present, he has already paved the way for many tricks and hurdles related to his own realm.

In order to reach a higher level, Lei Jun’s main task at present is to further accumulate the Seven Qi of Hao Ling and wait for the final qualitative change.

This requires a lot of hard work.

Now with the blessing of the Time Sword Spirit, he can save a lot of time.

In addition, Lei Jun has further ideas about this magical treasure.

While silently accumulating the seven Qi of Haoling, Lei Jun's Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Raincoat appeared in front of him.

As his own cultivation level gradually improved, Lei Jun had new ideas about the several magical weapons he had cultivated.

He sat on the top of the Biyou Fairy Mountain, and the straw of the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Straw was fluttering in the wind.

Amid the rain and fog, strong winds gradually arose, covering all directions.

Under the influence of Lei Jun's magic power, the wind and rain seemed to freeze, and the time and space affected by the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Cape became sluggish.

"Edict!"

As Lei Jun shouted, the Eight Scenic Winds seemed to reappear, forming eight illusory screens that surrounded the straw raincoat like eight walls.

Lei Jun did not use the Time Blade Spirit immediately.

The first thing he touched was another treasure.

The Haoran Xuangui that he had previously used to imitate the great scholar of the Ninth Heaven.

The black jade sceptre that circulated the noble aura of Wenhua was now under the control of Lei Jun and thrown into the Eight Scenery Wind.

The next moment, the Nine Abyss True Fire was ignited on the top of Biyou Fairy Mountain to help Lei Jun refine the magic weapon.

The Haoran Xuangui gradually merged into one with the Taiqing Bajing Baosu.

But it has not lost its original mystery.

Instead, it is like becoming one of the eight scenic spots, contained in the precious raincoat of the Eight Scenic Spots of Taiqing.

It is currently just a prototype and requires further refinement and nurturing for a long time.

The Time Sword Spirit can provide assistance and try to shorten the time required for treasure refining.

In Lei Jun's expectation, it could also become one of the eight scenic spots, but he was not in a hurry to start it immediately.

While silently accumulating his own seven bright spirits, he was also nurturing the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Raincoat.

Time flies by.

As time passed, Lei Jun celebrated his 89th birthday.

During this period of time, the fighting among the people of the Song Dynasty was fierce.

Faced with the advance of the Golden Khanate and the Sumeru Lotus Tribe, the Canglang Khanate was defeated step by step.

Due to various factors such as the route and environment, as the battlefield between the two foreign khanates moved further and further westward, it became difficult for the remnants of the Song Dynasty to obtain first-hand information.

By the time the news reaches the south of the Central Plains, it is often a long time ago and difficult to verify its truth.

However, the latest news is that a few months ago, a decisive battle broke out between the Wolf Khanate and the Golden Khanate.

The Canglang Khan Zhuoligtu, who had been evading sight for a long time and whose whereabouts were unknown, finally showed up.

It is said that the Gray Wolf Khanate has retreated to the vicinity of the Red Sun Grassland, which originally belonged to the Lone Eagle Khanate.

They intend to reopen the empty portal from the ancient Song Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

It goes without saying that under such circumstances, the Gray Wolf Khanate naturally did not want to make additional enemies, but rather tried to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and win new allies to fight against the Golden Khanate.

They even followed the example of the Lone Eagle Khanate, retreated into the Tang Dynasty, pledged loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and tried to avoid the Golden Khanate's relentless pressure.

But this intention was destroyed by the Golden Khanate.

At the critical moment, the Wolf Khan Zhuoligtu personally joined the battle, while the Golden Khan Angqinfu did not return to the world.

However, the tiger demon Alata, who was regarded as the greatest demon in the world of the ancient Song Dynasty, was extremely ferocious. He was assisted by top masters such as Hasen, the leader of the Sumeru Lotus Tribe, and Haritana of the Golden Khanate. In the end, although the Canglang Khanate did not suffer serious losses, its strategic intention to open the portal to the void completely failed.

The final outcome of the war was that the Canglang Khanate was forced to retreat again and withdraw from the Red Sun Grassland.

They continued westward.

The Golden Khanate continued to pursue.

Therefore, the territory where the void portal that originally led to the Tang Dynasty was located in the Song Dynasty was now occupied by the Golden Khanate.

In the southern part of the Middle-earth in the ancient Song Dynasty, the Guixu monster was wreaking havoc and continuing to commit crimes southwards.

Among them there are many great monsters at the ninth level.

They even contacted the native demon tribe in the southern wilderness.

Under the pincer attack, Zhu Junjie and other remnants of the Song Dynasty fought and retreated.

The old man "Zheng Chen" from Chunyang Palace finally reappears in the world.

However, there were many top monsters, and even though the survivors of the Song Dynasty had an additional Taoist master from the ninth heaven, they were still not easy to resist.

Of course, although Tang Xiaotang tried very hard to play the role of the elder of Chunyang Palace, so that she could not fully display her powerful strength, but when she was besieged by big monsters and fought to the point of fire, if she could have held back, she would not be Tang Xiaotang anymore.

In the chaos of the fight, she found a lone Nine Heavens Guixu monster, the Golden Sea Ape, and had an opportunity with no one around. She immediately changed her face, and Elder Zheng became Elder Tang, beating the monster to pieces.

Lei Jun was not surprised at all when he heard the news.

He was not worried about Tang Xiaotang.

In addition to Tang Xiaotang's strong personal strength, it is also because she achieved the Taichu Sea and transformed all things into the Taichu Qi, and naturally possessed the effect of Lei Jun's Heavenly Book's dark side cleansing the ground.

To be precise, those who were killed by Tang Xiaotang in the Taichu Sea did not need to be cleaned up, but no trace was left from the beginning.

It would be fine if her cultivation was still shallow, but Tang Xiaotang has already perfected the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven, achieving the level of the Five Qis of the Taoist Talisman School.

There was no one else around, and even if she killed the Ninth Heaven's Golden Sea-Turning Ape, it would be difficult for the Demon Saint Kunpeng in Guixu to know the details.

However, the death of such a powerful demon at the ninth level was not taken lightly by Guixu.

A sea-covering dragon king, who was even stronger than the golden sea-turning ape, came in person.

His cultivation strength is not inferior to that of the great demon like Youluo Shanjun in Luoyuan in the past, and is enough to be on par with the human race's masters who have reached the ninth level of perfection.

Because of Lei Jun's previous speculations about the Golden Khan Angqinfu, the Sumeru Shanzhizhe, and the Guixu Kunpeng Demon Saint, Tang Xiaotang, who had had his fill, suppressed his temper and was also willing to wait for the big fish to take the bait, so he turned back into "Elder Zheng" of the Chunyang Palace of the Great Song Dynasty and did not confront the Sea Dragon King head-on.

Under the protection of masters such as "Elder Zheng" and Zhu Junjie, the remnants of the Song Dynasty fought and retreated.

Most of the river systems in the major river basins are occupied by the Guixu demon clan.

Lei Jun got the news and was thoughtful.

It really looks like a clearing.

To the west, the Golden Khanate cut off the possibility of reconnection between the people of the Song Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty.

In the south, the Guixu monster took action and occupied the area approximately the area of ​​the void portal through which Dihai, Kongsang and even Huangquan descended to the human world of the former Song Dynasty. It drove out the remnants of the Song Dynasty to prevent them from colluding with each other from inside and outside to help Dihai, Kongsang and Huangquan descend to this human world again.

The gate to the Earth Sea has been closed for some years. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to get news so quickly on the riverside of the Tang Dynasty.

But Lei Jun is different.

Even Zhu Junjie didn't realize that Lei Jun could learn a lot of information through them. With the help of the Jade Purity Zhoutian Magic Mirror, he observed the ancient Song Dynasty world in Penglai, and many guesses arose in his mind.

The actions of the Golden Khanate and the Guixu Demon to clear the area actually reminded him.

Now that Tang Xiaotang has passed, we can just wait and see what happens next.

Lei Jun guessed that the other party might have other preparations.

After thinking for a while, Lei Jun calmed his mind and continued to concentrate on his own practice and the affairs at the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

His second disciple, Han Xiaofei, has been making rapid progress and is second only to Tang Xiaotang among the current disciples of Longhu Mountain, and is even better than Lei Jun himself at this stage in the past.

Not long ago, she successfully survived the calamity between the fourth and fifth heavens and achieved the Dao Palace realm of the Taoist Talisman School.

Her senior brother Zhuo Baojie commented on this:

"Master, I think that Junior Sister Huarong has brought a lot of encouragement to Second Junior Sister's rapid progress."

Is it convenient for her to rub other people's tails?
Lei Jun glanced at his eldest disciple and said, "Don't be so modest. You should have contributed to this as well."

Zhuo Baojie's black and white face showed a very human expression. He looked serious, but his words were somewhat irrelevant: "Master, I usually practice very hard."

Well, this is to avoid being bullied by my junior sister, so I try my best to ensure that I am ahead.

Lei Jun looked up and down and nodded slightly: "Are you ready?"

Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, disciple is ready to try to survive the calamity between the seventh and eighth heavens."

"You already have a solid foundation when you were three days into the middle school. Now you just need to concentrate on your cultivation. Since you are confident, I believe that you will be able to successfully pass this level and cultivate into my Taoist Divine Court Universe."

Lei Jun smiled slightly, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his eldest disciple's head: "Regarding the second innate magical power after cultivating to the eighth level of the divine court, do you have any idea at the moment?"

Zhuo Baojie: "I have some ideas, but they are not mature yet. I want to wait until I have overcome the tribulation and refer to the three great Doubu treasure scrolls inherited from the Han branch of our sect before making a decision."

Among the twelve supreme treasure talismans in the three caves of the Longhu Mountain lineage of the Han Dynasty, there are the Dou Mu Zhongtian Treasure talisman, the Dou Mu Four Symbols Treasure talisman and the Dou Mu Seven Yaos Treasure talisman.

The supernatural powers and magical images achieved are like star maps on the outside and star gods on the inside. They not only reveal the supernatural powers, but can also be used to bless the physical body.

Although it originated from Zhou Tiandao, it has its own unique features and was later improved by Lei Jun.

When Zhuo Baojie reached the seventh level of heaven, his first innate magical power was the image of the Dou Mu star god achieved through the calligraphy of a life practitioner.

Now he has the potential to reach the eighth level, but he did not choose to continue practicing the Thunder Method Heavenly Calligraphy Talisman, Fire Method Earthly Calligraphy Talisman, nor did he ask his master Yuan Mobai for the Yin-Yang Disaster Relief Talisman and the Nine-Turn Nine-Refining Palm Weapon Talisman. It seems that Xiao Xiong has already had an idea and plans to create his second innate magical power.

It may not be better than the Nine Turns and Nine Refinements Palm Military Strategy and other magical powers, but it must be extremely suitable for itself.

With reference to the Three Treasures Talismans of the Dou Department at Longhu Mountain in the Han Dynasty, it seems that he should continue to study the aspects of physical life skills.

He himself has a very solid foundation in this area.

Zhuo Baojie also benefited from the many talismans that Lei Jun brought back from Daju that condensed the true meaning of martial arts.

To some extent, because of his special foundation, he benefited more than his other fellow disciples.

"Go ahead and express yourself freely. If you have any questions, you can come and seek my help." Lei Jun said with a smile.

Zhuo Baojie has a very good understanding, but in comparison, he is inferior to Cheng Rongrong in this aspect.

His talent is more reflected in his physical body.

The eldest disciple prepared for his second innate magical power.

The second disciple who had just reached the Dao Palace realm also began to study his own second innate method.

This time, Han Xiaofei did not try to be unconventional, but chose the Stepping Fighting Technique that many of her fellow disciples practiced.

However, Lei Jun was looking at a flying bird landing on the ground, spreading its wings, and flying around with its two claws following the steps of the Gangbu Fighting Technique, which made him want to hold his forehead with his hands.

"Master, I have figured out some tricks." The bird spoke in human language, and it sounded like a girl's voice.

Seeing Lei Jun looking at her expressionlessly, Fei Niao's face clearly showed an embarrassment like a human: "Uh... I lost my composure, Master, please forgive me."

As she spoke, she retracted her wings and transformed herself, with a red light flashing in the air.

A female Taoist priest in a scarlet Taoist robe appeared in front of Lei Jun and stood obediently with her hands behind her back.

The girl who was not yet an adult when she first entered the sect has now grown into a graceful young lady.

But she looked a little embarrassed at the moment, with a rather fawning smile on her face: "Master, please forgive me."

Lei Jun sat still: "Continue."

Han Xiaofei immediately calmed her mind, and seriously practiced the stepping fighting method again.

As a result, spots of light appeared, as if the stars in the sky were surrounding the girl, and gradually turned into a nebula of light and mist.

Lei Jun saw this and gave some advice, which benefited Han Xiaofei a lot.

After the lecture, Lei Jun asked, "You exchanged some natural treasures from the treasure pavilion before, and you want to make your own magic tools?"

Han Xiaofei stood with her hands behind her back: "Yes, Master, although I have the magic weapon you gave me, I want to make some more magic weapons to fight against foreign enemies."

Lei Jun: "Of course, you already have an idea?"

Han Xiaofei nodded vigorously, her face beaming with joy: "It already has a prototype!"

After saying that, she took out an object from her miniature bag. It was quite large, more than two feet in diameter. She held it in her hand and raised it high.

From Lei Jun's perspective, it is indeed just a prototype, and Han Xiaofei still needs more refinement and polishing.

However, maybe it’s because it hasn’t been completely completed, but judging from its current appearance, Lei Jun feels that it looks like a huge... round hammer.

Thinking of the fact that Han Xiaofei, like Zhuo Baojie, had received a talisman with martial arts connotations from Daju from the treasure pavilion, Lei Jun suddenly felt that the magic weapon that Han Xiaofei had created by herself was essentially a hammer.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, she was able to do such a thing...

Fine.

I also said before that I wanted to improve the painting style inherited from our lineage.

With such a powerful and huge weapon, the style of painting must be upright, right?
Lei Jun calmly taught his second disciple some tips on refining magic weapons and instruments.

"Brother, I got some Ruyi gold from Daju. Give it to niece Hua Fei to refine her magic weapon."

Chu Kun, who learned about this after coming out of seclusion, suggested: "Then her hammer can change in size, making it hard to defend against."

"Okay..." Lei Jun felt something was wrong after he said this, as if it went against the original intention of improving the painting style.

He shook his head slightly, collected his thoughts, and turned to congratulate Chu Kun: "Congratulations to Third Junior Brother for achieving the Divine Court Upper Realm and reaching the Perfect Realm of the Fourth Layer of the Eighth Heaven. Mahayana is in sight."

Chu Kun waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, you are too kind. I am just a beginner in the realm of the Divine Court. I have just stepped onto the ladder of the fourth level of the Eighth Heaven. I am still far from perfection, let alone the Mahayana realm."

He looked at Lei Jun and asked, "Brother, how is your accumulation of Haoling Qi?"

Lei Jun: "It should be within this year or so."

Chu Kun let out a long breath: "In this troubled time, this really couldn't be better."

Lei Jun: "Yes, there is news from the Imperial Capital Luoyang that Lay Buddhist Shen Qubing has achieved the status of a Martial Saint. The Tang Dynasty has added a new Ninth Heaven cultivator."

Chu Kun: "It's good that General Shen has successfully taken this step. Will the next one be Mr. Yongshan from the Academy?"

Lei Jun: "Most likely, it should be in the next few years."

He looked at Chu Kun and repeated what he had said before: "I hope that you, Third Junior Brother, can take this step soon."

Chu Kun: "I would like to borrow your good words, Senior Brother."

After what happened in the previous big rule, he didn't need to hide anything in front of Lei Jun. He tapped his forehead lightly, but he didn't disappear in front of Lei Jun. He just said:

"I haven't been there during my retreat. I'll go there and take a look after I consolidate my cultivation."

Lei Jun: "If you need anything, feel free to contact Master and me."

Chu Kun: "Of course."

He went to recuperate on his own.

There are more and more high-ranking elders in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain. Therefore, although Chu Kun and Zhuo Baojie have focused on their own cultivation in recent years and have spent more time in seclusion, it does not affect the daily affairs of the mansion.

Lei Jun usually only needs to take charge of the general direction.

The affairs in the mansion that he was most concerned about were giving lectures to his younger disciples.

In addition, he focused on his own practice and taught Han Xiaofei and Cheng Rongrong to practice Taoism.

In the Tang Dynasty, the situation has been stable in recent years.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the Golden Khanate and the Guixu Great Demon took actions to clear the area, but the Golden Khan Angqinfu did not return.

Lei Jun was not in a hurry and waited and saw what would happen.

There has been new news coming back from the Han people recently.

The throne of the Han emperor has been delayed due to concerns from all sides.

As time went by, the communication between the Han people and the people of the Jin Dynasty was no longer a secret among the top leaders of all parties.

After learning about the north-south confrontation during the Jin Dynasty, many people in the Han Dynasty worried that they would follow in the footsteps of the Jin Dynasty.

The situation, which was already confrontational, became even more delicate.

On the other hand, in Mobei, there have been recent reports that the two Wumen Tianjing and Didu, which originally came from Kongsang, have further determined the outcome of the battle.

Lei Jun silently looked at the information sent back by Fu Yuzhou and Ma Zongxiang from Longhu Mountain, and compared it with what Huang Tiandao and Kang Ming knew.

According to rumors, the leader of the Tianjing Witch Clan, Peng Youshan, was severely injured and his life or death is unknown. The rest of the Tianjing Witch Clan monks all suffered heavy casualties.

But the Didu Witch Clan was also severely damaged.

After a brief thought, Lei Jun secretly contacted the top leaders of the Didu Witch Clan who had visited him before.

Ke Lang, the leader of the Didu Witch Clan, is currently in seclusion recuperating from his injuries.

The elder of Didu, Chen Xiao, reported back and revealed the key to this battle.

Vandatta, the leader of the Xumi Treasure Tribe, who had been keeping a low profile among the Han people for a long time, personally took action and brought many masters of the Xumi Treasure Tribe to help Kongsang Didu, severely damaging Kongsang Tianjing.

According to Chen Xiao, Vandatta had returned to Mount Sumeru afterwards.

Before Ke Lang went into seclusion, he had some doubts in his heart and told Chen Xiao and others to be extra cautious.

Lei Jun paused for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Has your sect's Elder Xiang ever participated in a war before?"

Chen Xiao: "Elder Xiang has been secretly rebuilding his body in the past few years. He has not participated in the war and has not appeared in public."

Lei Jun: "When Elder Xiang of your sect is free, please invite him to come to the Tang Dynasty as a guest. I am waiting for good news."

Chen Xiao: "Master Tian, ​​you are too polite. Elder Xiang originally wanted to reshape his body and then travel to visit the human world of the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely pass on your message for you."

........................

Inside Sumeru.

The Lord of the Treasures, Bhandada, returned from the human world and came to the foot of Mount Sumeru. He bowed to the Venerable Good Wisdom and said, "Venerable, I have fulfilled my mission."

After that, he presented a seemingly inconspicuous prayer wheel: "Kongsang Tianjing and Didu should not be a big problem."

Venerable Shanzhizhi took the prayer wheel and said, "Okay."

Vandat was about to speak but stopped: "Venerable sir..."

Venerable Shanzhihui seemed to know what the other party was thinking: "Although some preparations have been made in the Han and Song human worlds, and Xumi is also ready for the Vajra Reincarnation, the Tang Dynasty human world and the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion lineage should not be underestimated, and Saha also needs to be on guard.

In order to avoid any complications, more preparations need to be made when the Golden Khan wakes up and returns."

After saying this, he put away the prayer wheel and took out a huge Buddhist orb.

The jewel floated before Bhimasha, the lord of the Buddha family.

After respectfully accepting the precious pearl, Vimasha made a seal to Venerable Shanzhi as a gesture of greeting, and then returned to the human world of the Two Jin Dynasties.

........................

The Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

Winter goes and spring comes, time passes and gradually enters summer.

Contemporary Taoist priest Lei Jun is about to celebrate his 90th birthday.

As summer was approaching, Lei Junxian received good news.

He personally taught his eldest disciple Zhuo Baojie, who successfully reached the eighth level of the Divine Court of the Taoist Talisman School.

The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has a new elder who has reached the eighth level of heaven. He is also the first successor among the third generation of disciples in the mansion to reach the eighth level of heaven.

Upon hearing the news, people inside and outside the Tianshi Mansion came to congratulate.

Lei Jun was pleased to give his disciples some more advice on how to pass on the Dharma.

Later he sent his disciples to the Longhu Mountain branch of the Han Dynasty to observe the Three Caves and Twelve Supreme Treasures.

Next, Master Lei Tianshi himself began to practice in seclusion once again.

His Haoling Qi has already been accumulated to perfection.
