Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 495 494. Things Change (Two Chapters in One)

"The three realms of heaven, earth and man?" Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaotang's eyes lit up, just like Lei Jun's.

She asked anxiously, "That is to say, there are three realms of heaven, earth and man that still exist and have not collapsed?"

In the history that Lei Jun and others are familiar with, in ancient times, a disaster even greater than that at the end of the Han Dynasty broke out and spread to the three realms.

The heaven and earth in the three realms at that time were shattered in that battle.

Eventually, the heaven was divided into nine heavens.

The earth realm is divided into ten realms.

This situation has continued to this day.

The legendary Ancient Heavenly Palace was also destroyed in that catastrophe and vanished into thin air, leaving only ruins for later generations to excavate, which led to the name of the Old Heavenly Palace.

Gao Tiansui and others were naturally not real people from the ancient Heavenly Palace, but in order to recreate the Heavenly Palace of the past, they called themselves the former members of the Heavenly Palace.

Most of the things about ancient times have been lost without a trace.

The Fu Lu Sect is the oldest Taoist tradition, and the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion is the holy place of the Fu Lu Sect. There are some relevant records left about the ancient times.

However, due to various events that followed, especially the turmoil during the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Daoist change of era name, many records have been lost.

Therefore, Lei Jun and others could only get a rough glimpse of the books in the mansion when they browsed through the books in the mansion.

However, Tang Emperor Zhang Wantong, based on some of the findings from the previous excavation of the Heavenly Palace ruins, communicated with Lei Jun and others and supplemented each other's missing information.

"The founder of our sect, the Heavenly Master, once held an important position in the Heavenly Palace, but he was also deeply involved in the turmoil, which affected innocent people and put our sect in a difficult situation during that period."

Lei Jun shook his head slightly: "After the ancient times, Confucianism flourished, which may have something to do with this... or there may be other hidden reasons."

He brought the topic back to the topic: "According to the tone of the message from the senior sister, in that vast world, the three realms of heaven, earth, and man still exist. This should not be a misunderstanding, but the three realms are indeed still there. So, it is equivalent to saying..."

"Just like our world was divided into different parts at the end of the Han Dynasty, the war at the end of the ancient times also caused a division, which led to different worlds." Tang Xiaotang's eyes were bright.

Tang Zhenjun, who had already reached the state of immortality, seemed to have returned to his youth. He was excited, walked with his hands behind his back, and circled around Lei Jun:

"The heaven and earth of our world have been broken into nine heavens and ten earths.

And in the history of the world that Senior Sister went to, the heavens and earth still maintained their ancient appearance?"

She was eager to try, and for a moment she wished she could rush to Daju immediately, pass through the Abyss of Time, and explore the other world.

Lei Jun: "It's hard to say it's exactly the same. According to Senior Sister's description, the evil spirit over there is so dense that it overwhelms the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so many monsters rise up and evil spirits dance wildly.

At present, we still don’t know why the world has become like this.”

Tang Xiaotang put his hands behind his back and stopped walking: "Can you tell me more about it?"

Lei Jun: “It is difficult to communicate with each other due to the huge gap in time, so the words are relatively simple.

At present, we only know that Buddhism was once flourishing there, but now, according to them, it has entered the Dharma Ending Age, and it is already a world of chaos and demons, and all three realms are the same.

There is a powerful Great Extinction Bodhisattva who inherits the Great Extinction Tathagata and lives in the earth realm.

There is a demon dragon emperor who roams the Milky Way and the sea of ​​stars and lives in the heaven.

The most powerful demon in the world is a demon tree, also known as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, and is known as the Hundred-Eyed Great Sage.

In addition, we don’t know how long it took for the message from the eldest sister to be received by us, and it is not clear whether it is consistent with the latest situation. "

Tang Xiaotang listened with fascination: "Is there still our Longhu Mountain inheritance over there?"

Lei Jun shook his head: "No."

Tang Xiaotang's expression suddenly fell: "Although it's not completely unexpected, it still feels like a pity."

She thought for a moment and said, "Is it because the Wanfa Sect Altar is on our side?"

"Young Senior Sister, that's a good question. That's the problem."

Lei Jun said slowly: "In the world of the universe, the Wanfa Sect Altar is most likely not the only one.

The eldest sister found some clues over there, and there should be a Wanfa Sect Altar in that world..."

After a slight pause, Lei Jun added: "...once upon a time."

Tang Xiaotang's eyebrows immediately showed signs of rising: "It's been destroyed? It no longer exists?"

Lei Jun nodded: "It should be. It has been quite a while. As for who did it, the senior sister may not have a conclusion yet."

Tang Xiaotang remained silent after hearing this.

Lei Jun was also silent for a moment.

After a long time, Tang Xiaotang finally broke the silence. She seemed to suddenly remember something:
"Lei Jun, tell me, how many worlds like this are there?"

Obviously, she was thinking of the division of the human world at the end of the Han Dynasty, when more than one or two human worlds were divided, so she asked this question.

Lei Jun shook his head gently: "There are no more clues at the moment."

Tang Xiaotang stared into the distance in a trance: "Tell me, if there are other great worlds, what will happen to our Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion?"

Lei Jun: "I also want to know the answer to this question."

After carefully reading the message sent back by Xu Yuanzhen, he spoke again: "From what Senior Sister said, I can see that apart from our Talisman Sect, there is no inheritance from the Dan Ding Sect or the Refining Sect."

Tang Xiaotang: "This is not surprising. In ancient times, only our Fulu School inherited Taoism. The Chunyang Palace was founded after ancient times, and the Shushan School was even later.

If there are other Taoist traditions in that world, maybe they are not Danding Sect or Refining Sect, but other sects, such as Nie Fang's Yanshi Sect?"

Lei Jun thought for a moment: "Well, it is indeed possible..."

The message Xu Yuanzhen sent back was still too simple.

There is little mention of other major inheritance systems such as Wumen, Confucianism, etc.

Now we only know that Buddhism was once flourishing there, but now it is the Dharma Ending Age.

The evil atmosphere is thick and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, which is not conducive to the practice of human cultivators.

The inheritance of the Dakong Temple over there is probably very different from that of Monk Yuanmie and others here. Although Monk Yuanmie and other descendants of the Dakong Temple are exposed to evil spirits when they practice, they still focus on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It’s hard to say what’s going on in the vast world beyond the Abyss of Time.

"Given the situation over there, has Senior Sister crossed the last hurdle?" Tang Xiaotang asked with concern.

Lei Jun: "Senior Sister didn't mention it, but I think because of this, she should have successfully taken that step."

According to Xu Yuanzhen's description of that chaotic world full of demons, she really needed to further improve her cultivation level so that she could continue to enjoy "playing" in it.

It's easy to tell that this side of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the most chaotic and bloody, can be considered civilized compared to the other side.

According to what Xu Yuanzhen meant, the cultivators in the fairyland can move freely among the three realms of heaven, earth and man in that vast world.

If there are any restrictions, they are not restricted by the principles of the universe, but the "man-made disasters" that may be brought about by the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, the Demon Dragon Emperor, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree.

Tang Xiaotang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes rolling around.

Seeing this, Lei Jun said, "Little Senior Sister, please be patient. According to the information sent back by His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, the Abyss of Time in Daju has been in turmoil recently and is very unstable. It may change again in the next few years."

Tang Xiaotang: "Because of Biluo?"

Lei Jun: “That should be the reason.”

"Is Biluo still sealed?" Tang Xiaotang asked.

Lei Jun: "Yes, it's not easy to open."

Although he did not travel into the human world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, he was sensitive to the universe through his vague connection with the blue sky.

However, the place is no longer sealed by He Ying, a lay Buddhist of Tianrui, but by Gao Tiansui from the opposite side.

His cultivation strength is extraordinary.

Being sealed away in the blue sky by him, although Lei Jun seems to be looming outside, it is difficult to break the seal in recent years.

"To be precise, unlike the other nine heavens and ten earths, where the portals to the void are sealed and then disappear without a trace in the human world, it is still permeating the world of the war-torn human world, dyeing the world around the original portal into a green color."

Lei Junyan said: "In the past two years, according to the reports of Master Mu of Zhenwu Temple and Zhou Pu of the Later Han Dynasty, the blue sky has spread to the surrounding world and has a tendency to expand, and the speed is very fast. It has expanded from covering hundreds of miles to thousands of miles."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang immediately understood: "Gao Tiansui is in seclusion to heal his injuries?"

Lei Jun: "That should be the case, and there is progress."

According to the previous report by Emperor Tang Zhang Wantong, when Gao Tiansui first came out of Biluo and arrived at Daju, he was seriously injured.

If we really compare him with Venerable Kindness and Wisdom, although their cultivation levels are different, it is hard to say who is in a worse condition after returning to the world.

But now it seems that Gao Tiansui's healing speed is much faster than that of Venerable Shanzhihui.

In this situation, it is even difficult to judge whether he can stop and fight at any time if he encounters an external attack.

And with him in charge, Biluo seemed even more impregnable.

What's more, even if we don't consider Gao Tiansui, there are masters like Ge Xuanzhi, Ruan Qiao and Wang Dianchen on the opposite side.

"In the deep sea, there are people who are sitting on the mountain watching the fight between two tigers and waiting to take advantage of it." Lei Junyan said.

A three-way balance was barely reached between them, with the former members of Youyin and Tiangong given to them.

But the balance is fragile and ever-changing.

Tang Xiaotang thought for a moment and said, "I want to find out more about Youyin and Lianshan first, but it's a pity that it's not as easy to find the door as Kongsang."

Lei Jun: "Let's start with the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that Youyin has been operating in the Ming Dynasty for quite some time."

Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "Master Mu of Zhenwu Temple and Master Shen of Nanjin Shushan Sect are going there?"

Lei Jun: "We are already making preliminary preparations."

Tang Xiaotang sat cross-legged opposite Lei Jun and asked, "Who do you think is faster, Master Mu or Master Shen?"

Lei Jun: “It’s hard to judge at the moment.”

Mu Chunyang, the abbot of Zhenwu Temple, and Shen Xi, the head of the Shushan School of the Southern Jin Dynasty, are both high-level Taoist masters who have reached the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven.

Outside of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, among the Taoist monks who often walk around in the human world, the two of them basically represent the highest level in this world.

Although they are not as good as Zhao Chanyang, Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang of Kunwu Sect, Shen Xi and Mu Chunyang are still rare geniuses in the world. With the surge of spiritual energy in the world, they both have the hope of opening the door to immortality.

Among them, Mu Chunyang had already achieved the perfect body of the Five Qis to Origin method of the Taoist Danding School decades ago, even earlier than Lei Jun and others.

His accumulation of wealth is indeed rich.

However, when he was in the special environment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to fake his death and escape from the world, he was hit by the sword of the Good Wisdom Venerable. Although he successfully achieved his original goal with the help of the Immortal Body of Creation, that incident still caused Mu Chunyang to suffer a great loss of vitality.

Especially the potential impact, which lasted for many years, to some extent interrupted his previous steady upward momentum.

Therefore, since then, Mu Chunyang has been concentrating on recuperation and saving money.

Up to now, it cannot be said that the hope of practicing Qi to return to the gods and ascend to immortality is completely cut off, but it is entirely possible that Shen Xi will surpass him.

Although Shen Xi had only achieved the Taoist weapon-refining school's Five Qis to Immortality and Lesser Freedom Realm in recent years, and his foundation did not seem as strong as Mu Chunyang's, he had a strong character and was now able to stretch himself, with an upward momentum that was unprecedentedly high.

The Universe Light Immortal Body he possesses has an additional unique advantage in saving time for cultivation.

"Relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about Master Mu, but it would not be surprising if Master Shen came out on top."

In response to Tang Xiaotang's question, Lei Jun replied: "It's normal for either of them to come first or last. If there is no major accident, I think it is more likely that they will come one after the other."

"Yes, but we still have to wait for a few years, probably after the human world merges." Tang Xiaotang's judgment is similar to Lei Jun's: "They should not be faster than Senior Brother Wang."

Lei Jun agreed: "Except for Brother Feng Ming in Cang Huan, the eldest brother should be the fastest."

Phoenix Fengming is currently meditating in Cang Huan, and it seems that he has begun to attack the portal leading to the fairyland.

No other ninth-level master in the world could be faster than him.

Further down are Wang Guiyuan, Mu Chunyang, Shen Xi and others.

"The Yumen layman of the Xiao clan also has hope." Lei Junyan said: "In addition, Elder Zhao of Wuxian of Lingshan is accustomed to keeping a low profile, but he has accumulated a lot of experience, so he may not be slow."

Wu Zhen and Jia Xianting took risks at the beginning, but their steps were not necessarily as steady as Wu Xian and Zhao Qianran's calm steps.

The leader of the Ten Witches of Lingshan has always been Wu Xian and Zhao Qianran, not Wu Zhen and Jia Xianting.

Rather, it is better to say that in addition to the Lingshan Witch King Huangfu Qi, Zhao Qianran was also one of the reasons why Jia Xianting was so eager to take the risk.

It’s just that before this, Zhao Qianran lived in Lingshan all year round and never went out, so his reputation among the people was not as loud as Jia Xianting’s.

As for Xiao Yumen, the father of Xiao Hang, Xiao Chunhui and Xiao Xueting, he also seems to be inconspicuous, but he should not be underestimated.

"The three great wizards Ke, Peng and Xiang, have little hope if they are not blessed by a great opportunity," Lei Junyan said.

The head of Kongsang Tianjing, Peng Youshan, the head of Didu, Ke Lang, and the previous Han emperor Xiang Chengyuan have been displaced over the years and experienced a series of drastic changes, which have greatly dampened their morale. Considering their age, their possibility of making further progress is not as good as that of Jia Xianting in the past.

On the other hand, the early Crown Prince Xiang Jing of the Han Dynasty and the Zen Master Chonghui of the Leiyin Temple were both only one step away from the fairyland.

The distance between them is even closer than that between Jia Xianting, Tianshe Yi and Canglang Khan Zhuoligtu.

But now, of course, all that has come to naught.

"Zhong Hui, Xiang Jing, Zhuo Ligetu..." Lei Jun and the little sister Tang Xiaotang stared at each other: "Well, they were killed by the two of us."

Tang Xiaotang laughed and said, “Pu Guang and Shan Zhihui have both fallen, not to mention them.”

Lei Jun: "Zhou Mingzhe's situation in the Ming Dynasty was quite special. To be honest, if he had practiced the more traditional Confucian classics, he might have become a saint right away."

Tang Xiaotang curled her lips: "You deserve it."

She suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, the dragon in Guixu was also quite good. If I hadn't considered entering Kongsang, I would have almost killed him."

Lei Jun knew that the other party was talking about the greatest demon under the Guixu Kunpeng Demon Saint, the Fuhai Jiao King, who was a great demon equivalent to a human cultivator at the ninth level of perfection.

In addition to his powerful strength, he has profound cultivation and has the potential to become a demon saint.

"Elder Wu Pengqiao is expected to arrive later than Elder Wu Xian Zhao."

Lei Junyan said: "If we arrive too late, we may be overtaken by Mr. Zhang, Brother Li Dao and Master Huiyin from the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Hui, Hui Yin and Li Tianqing have now reached the fourth level of the Ninth Heaven.

After Huiyin specialized in one lineage, his realm improved rapidly.

Zhang Hui studied Confucian classics, and after achieving perfection in the Five Classics and rising to prominence, he will be able to reach the realm of immortality faster than others.

Xiao Jing, the former patriarch of the Xiao clan of Datong, had already reached perfection in the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven.

But if there is no major accident, she will not be faster than Zhang Hui and may even be surpassed by the latter.

Although both of them have mastered the Five Classics and are on the rise, in terms of other qualifications and potential, the two are not on the same level.

As for others, if there is no special opportunity, it will be later.

After watching Lei Jun's reply to Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang suppressed her urge to go to Daju Shizhiyuan and returned to Kongsang instead.

The Taoist alliance will take action against the Ming Dynasty.

It is still unknown how Youyin and Lianshan will react, so Tang Xiaotang temporarily lives in Kongsang and waits and sees what happens.

Lei Junze finally left the Earth Sea and returned to Penglai via the Tang Dynasty.

Although his immortal energy that he had been recuperating for some time had dissipated again after leaving the human world, Lei Jun didn't mind it.

While giving feedback to the human world, he is also receiving further feedback from the human world.

Although the magical power of immortals was actually lost, understanding the natural laws of heaven and earth and the various mysteries that gave back to himself was also a great gain for Lei Jun in his practice.

Benefited by this, he continued to practice.

Pushing open the fairy gate and entering the fairyland is just the beginning of a new experience in spiritual practice for him. It is not only a way to calm his mind, but also full of fun.

Returning to Penglai, sitting on the observation deck, Lei Jun raised his hand.

The Taiyi Poque Sword was suspended in front of him, and a green ocean of Nine Abyss True Fire unfolded.

In the vast sea of ​​fire, in addition to the Taiyi Poque Sword, there were several other sword magic weapons.

Arctic Sword.

Zhou Tian Sword.

The Vast Sea Sword.

Guangmo Sword.

The Taiyi Poque Sword was temporarily put aside.

Lei Jun then used the Nine Abyss True Fire to refine the treasure, starting with the North Pole Sword.

This magic sword refined by Lei Jun himself vibrated slightly, and unprecedented changes occurred on the surface of the sword.

As it rippled like water waves, the sword blade began to become illusory and transparent, and even lost its shape.

As if blending into the void.

Similar Taoist artistic conception has appeared in the past on magical weapons such as the Taiyi Xiantian Tower, Taiyi Poque Sword, Duxu Shuttle and Taiyi Huashang of the Shushan School of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

It involves the profound and mysterious Taoist conception of emptiness.

Based on Lei Jun's current cultivation strength and realm of understanding, although not as unique as Xu Yuanzhen's Universe Immortal Body, his grasp of the mysteries of the Void Taoism is also meticulous.

At this moment, he re-refined the Arctic Sword and incorporated various changes into it.

It is not about refining the North Pole Sword into the second Taiyi Poque Sword.

But then, Lei Jun's Yuan magnetic flying sword crossed the barrier of the void realm and came to the human world, making it much more convenient to use the Arctic Sword.

After the Arctic Sword, comes the Zhoutian Sword.

Lei Jun concentrated on refining one flying sword after another.

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

While Master Lei was refining the magic weapon, the portal leading to the human world of Daming in Guizang quietly opened.

Chu Kun, once again representing the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, saluted to the Lingshan Great Shamans Zhao Qianran, Qiao Yang, Lei Lei and others who were staying there temporarily:
“I will be returning to Zang later. I will need the care of everyone in Lingshan.

I hope that I won’t disturb the Witch King’s rest, otherwise it will be the fault of me and others.”

Zhao Qianran shook his head: "No, Elder Chu is too polite. We are grateful for your care in the past, so it is only natural for us to lend a helping hand now.

If our king was not still recuperating, we would be afraid that she would be disturbed. This time we should have followed the Taoist priests into the human world to share your worries.

I cannot go now, I hope you can forgive me, Taoist priests, please rest assured, Taoist priest Chu, we will definitely guard the Guizang Gate."

Chu Kun and other Taoist masters beside him, such as Mu Chunyang, all returned the greeting: "Thank you very much, everyone at Lingshan."

Therefore, next, led by Mu Chunyang, except for the Chunyang Palace of the Great Song Dynasty, which currently stayed in the Great Song Dynasty to stabilize the situation, the Taoist masters from all sides gathered in Guizang, and then went to the Great Ming Dynasty together through Guizang.

On the human side, the Guizang Gate is located in the southwest.

Over the years, the Ming court's main attention has been focused on the north.

As for the South, surveillance is the main focus.

The person in charge of handling important affairs in southern Xinjiang was Zheng Qing, an important official who served as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou.

But this time, no matter how carefully he monitored, it was of no use.

Nowadays, most of the people in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period are active, and the name of Mu Chunyang, the master of Zhenwu Temple, has been reintroduced into the Ming Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, there are the Longhu Mountain elder Chu Kun, the Shushan Sect leader Zhang Taigang, and the Chunyang Palace elder Yue Xiling.

Zhang Haipeng, the leader of the Kunwu sect, and Chen Lingfeng, the leader of the Shushan sect, both of Han people today.

A total of six great Taoist masters visited the Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou of the Ming Dynasty together.

Mu Chunyang didn't act too aggressively right from the start.

He detained Zheng Qing.

When the news spread back to the capital of the Ming Dynasty from the southwest, the whole government was shocked.

"What do they want to do?" Emperor Ming Han Zhining looked at the ministers in front of him.

Prime Minister Zhou Mingzhe sighed softly: "Although the head of Shushan Yuan did not act rashly, the fact that they detained people has already shown their intentions... They are here for the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and the Xianxiao Bell."

The Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and the Xianxiao Bell are both top-notch magic weapons passed down for many years by the Shushan School of the Ming Dynasty. They have always been known as the Chuitian Whip, the Three Mountains Fire Cover, and the Duxu Shuttle.

Among them, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot is one of the founding treasures of the Shushan School that has been passed down since before the division of the human world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In the early years, due to the Han Qingtao Rebellion, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and the Xianxiao Bell were confiscated by the Ming Dynasty court until today.

Since the Yuan Dynasty's celadon, no one has dared to comment on the Shushan School of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the situation seems to be completely different.
