Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 509 Chapter 508. The Second Level of the Mysterious Cavern (Three-in-One Chapter of Words)

Ruan Qiao and Wang Dianchen stayed in Biluo and refused to come out.

Not only them, even the great wizard Peng Youshan, who had defected to the former subordinates of the Heavenly Palace, also kept a low profile and almost disappeared. In order to ensure the secrecy of his own whereabouts, he even had to give up his own external reconnaissance and information collection, thus isolating himself from the inside and the outside.

Lei Jun, who did not gain anything for a while, did not force it and just focused on his own practice.

As time went by, his cultivation continued to deepen.

In the next few years, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Two Jin Dynasties were all quietly accumulating recuperation and preparing for the merger with the human world.

Also because of the impending confluence of the human world, the world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which was once ravaged by bloody wars, has rarely calmed down in recent years.

The main reason was that the Later Han Dynasty, which occupied an absolute dominant position, officially began to move its capital from Zhongzhou to Jianye in Jiangdong.

The Ming Dynasty followed the footsteps of the previous Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with constant wars and confrontations.

Time flies.

Lei Jun celebrated his 116th birthday.

"The ritual system and patriarchal clan system are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in many places."

Nie Fang, the head of the Xuanji Temple of Taoism, looked into the distance: "Especially for those who were born and raised here, they have already been influenced by it. Many people don't even realize its existence, but when they make decisions, they are often already affected."

Standing next to him was Yu Yichen, a high-ranking elder of the Chunyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty. He nodded slightly when he heard this.

Nie Fangyan said: "I will go down the river and head east. Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Yu Yichen: "Master Nie, please be careful."

He had heard that Nie Zhongjie and his son Nie Song, who were closely related to Nie Fang, showed up there.

Yu Yichen was not in a position to say much about what Nie Fang was thinking. It was not easy for him to directly wish him success, but it was even harder for him to dissuade him. So he could only watch Nie Fang go down the river.

Nie Fang's body is no longer visible, but his soul has completely merged with the mechanical puppet.

The mechanical puppet, nearly ten feet tall, seemed to turn into a stream of light and instantly crossed the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

When they got close to the area indicated by the news, the light disappeared again and turned into a shadow-like existence, sneaking in quietly without revealing their whereabouts.

After some searching, one of the targets came into Nie Fang's sight.

He was a young official wearing the fourth-rank official uniform of the Ming Dynasty.

He looks somewhat similar to Nie Fang.

It was Nie Song, the disciple of his half-brother, Zhou Mingzhe, the former Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

There was a gleam of light in the eyes of Nie Fang's huge mechanical puppet, like two round mirrors, the light sweeping in all directions, revealing every detail.

After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to show up.

The huge mechanical puppet stood not far in front of Nie Song, looking at him calmly.

Nie Song looked up at the tall mechanical puppet and said slowly, "Why don't you show up and meet me face to face? You and I haven't really met in person for some years."

The mechanical puppet made Nie Fang's voice: "That's not necessary. If you have anything to say, just speak directly."

Nie Song looked calm and said, "I would like you to speak frankly. What exactly do you want to do?"

Nie Fang spoke calmly, without any violent emotional fluctuations: "In my early years, I was filled with resentment and wanted to seek justice for my mother and myself.

But over the years, although I have never taken personal grudges lightly, they are no longer the most important thing for me.

What I am thinking about now is to break the shackles and constraints of ritual and patriarchal system on people's hearts.

There is nothing wrong with a father being kind and a son being filial, and brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, but it shouldn’t be like this.”

Nie Song looked quietly at the huge mechanical puppet in front of him: "It is true that the Ming Dynasty is shaken, but as long as culture and culture flourish, this land of China will one day return to the right track.

Although your father has been distressed and angry about your heresy over the years, he still has high hopes for you. He hopes that you can become a bridge between the Tang and Ming dynasties and make contributions to the restoration of China.

But now after hearing what you said, I know that my father will be disappointed after all.

I had anticipated that you were going against human ethics and were dissatisfied with the Nie family and your father.

But now it seems that it is far worse than what my father and I thought. You are so bold and reckless that you have completely fallen into evil ways. Not only do you want to rebel against your family bloodline, but you also disrespect the words of your ancestors and the saints!"

The puppet's head looked around, its eyes like mirrors: "We are already face to face, why are you still saying such things? Have you really never imagined this? If not, why would you set up such a big scene today?"

Nie Song: "Originally I was just being prepared, but now it seems that you have gone too far astray and there is no cure."

As he spoke, a large amount of black ink rose up from all directions with him as the center, forming a pavilion-like existence.

Nie Fang's mechanical puppet "Ni Liu" was in the middle of it, and suddenly felt his body slow and heavy.

The moral codes and etiquette accumulated by the other party here are obviously extremely profound.

However, the mechanical puppet "Niliu" did not move, and there were already multiple talisman arrays on its body flashing with light, and a large amount of lightning was generated.

Nie Song placed himself behind a building made of layers of black ink, using the ink to block the lightning emitted by the mechanical puppets.

Feeling the hesitation in his words, he looked serious.

Compared to the previous information received, Nie Fang's mechanical puppet seems to be more powerful than before.

Although he denounced the other party as evil, Nie Song never underestimated the other party's strength.

To some extent, Nie Fang's Yanshi technique is one of the most hated types of opponents by their Confucian Neo-Confucianists.

The reason why the Ming court attached great importance to the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty before was that compared with the Taoist Danding Sect, the Shushan monks who refined magic tools and treasures instead of attacking themselves were not as directly suppressed by the Neo-Confucian clan law and rituals, and the effect was not as good.

The Yanshi mechanical puppet has the same effect in this respect.

Nie Fang has devoted himself to practice over the years, and with the help of Lei Jun and others, he has become like the cultivators outside the Ming Dynasty. He is not oppressed by the Neo-Confucian principles and patriarchal laws of the Ming Dynasty or the principles of heaven. The old rules of father being the guide for son and monarch being the guide for ministers can no longer restrict him.

His mechanical puppets are sturdy and powerful, and he focuses on speed and movement, so they are like martial arts masters who are not as flexible but have good speed in moving forward and backward in a straight line.

Martial arts masters can assassinate at close range with such speed and explosive power that their opponents often die before they have time to react. Even though they are suppressed by the moral principles and clan laws, they have always been feared by Neo-Confucianists.

Nie Song had just gone through a long period of preparation and was now confident enough to face this rebellious brother from the same father.

He knew that Nie Fang's "countercurrent" defense was powerful.

Not only is the material used to refine the mechanical puppet strong in itself, but after Nie Fang's soul is combined with it, he can circulate magic power to bless the mechanical puppet and further enhance its protective power.

But on the other hand, if he continues to withstand attacks, Nie Fang's mana will be greatly consumed.

The "Countercurrent" he has in front of him is a remake. The first "Countercurrent" was destroyed in his early years because it was besieged by many masters for a long time.

So at this moment, Nie Song covered the vast area around him with ink and brush, surrounding the "countercurrent" in it, and saw that the numerous pavilions and towers seemed to have become arrow towers and fortresses at this moment.

Countless ink characters, as dense as a rain of arrows, flew out in an overwhelming manner, surrounding the "countercurrent" from all directions.

The "countercurrent" was restrained by the accumulated ink and brush, and it was difficult to transform into light and fly up for a while. It was immediately covered by numerous ink characters as dense as rain.

Nie Song's ritual had been planned for a long time, and the ink characters formed at this moment were extremely powerful in attack.

Although the natural and precious gold material used to refine "Countercurrent" is solid, it was not damaged by the rain of ink arrows, but the light on its surface kept flowing and flickering, like rain hitting a pond.

Nie Fang's magic power was consumed rapidly.

The "countercurrent" magic circle started to work, and lightning condensed, turning into a rushing torrent that rushed forward, instantly evaporating all the ink.

But Nie Song, who had carefully prepared for a long time, started to paint, and then he saw the pavilions and towers transformed by the ink collapse, and the lightning continued to rush forward, but encountered an existence like a city gate, which continued to block it.

From behind the city gate, more ink characters rose up like a rain of arrows, and then fell, continuing to attack the "countercurrent".

Nie Song estimated in his mind that according to the information he had obtained previously, the opponent's magic power would be consumed very quickly, and after two more rounds of this, it would be exhausted.

His consumption was also huge, but as time went on, Wen Mo continued to accumulate, and he could hold out longer than Nie Fang who was living off his resources...

Just as this thought came to my mind, there suddenly seemed to be a flash of light in the distance.

The next moment, a terrifying sword light appeared in an instant and blasted open the gate of Wenmo City!

Then there was a roar of thunder coming from afar.

Nie Song looked into the distance in astonishment.

There, there was another huge mechanical puppet approaching.

There were actually two long parallel metal rails extending forward on its body, and between the rails, the power of lightning and magnetic field was constantly surging.

Nie Song was dumbfounded, watching as what had shattered his Wenmo City Gate was a thick, long cone that had been twisted and deformed by the violent impact.

However, the powerful force of thunder and fire not only shattered the city gate, but also caused a series of explosions, constantly burning the surrounding ink and paper.

"I have the first magical weapon of the mechanical level. I named it 'Countercurrent'. It goes against the muddy current of your secular world, not against the general trend of the world."

Nie Fang's calm voice came from the "countercurrent": "What is the general trend of the world? The universe, nature, and all living things.

Therefore, I wanted to name my second mechanical magic weapon "Cangsheng", but what virtue and ability do I have to bear such a great name?
Master Lei Tianshi once said that no matter who it is, no one should speak on behalf of the common people. The wishes of all living beings are also varied. We can only observe and let nature take its course.

Therefore, I can only speak for myself. Once I take off this Taoist robe, I will be just an ordinary man.

I named my second mechanical magic weapon "Pifu", but when Pifu gets angry, blood will splatter more than five steps away."

As he spoke, Nie Fang's second mechanical puppet in the distance had begun to gather strength again. The magnetic force continued to surge, and the new flying cone was suspended between the two metal rails.

Ever since the elder "Chen Donglou" of the Shushan School of the Tang Dynasty passed down the Yuanci Sword Technique, disciples of the Shushan School of the Tang Dynasty and the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty began to practice it.

However, one of the people who was particularly concerned about this was the master of the Xuanji Temple of the Tang Dynasty, Nie Fang.

In recent years, he made special trips to the Longhu Mountain and Shushan School of the Tang Dynasty to seek advice, and even received guidance from the Taoist priest Lei Jun, and made great progress in Yuanci swordsmanship.

Nie Fang designed the mechanical magic weapon and was greatly influenced by Lei Jun for various reasons.

Strong body.

High mobility.

Strong perception detection.

Concentrate all your strength to attack instantly, and it is best to attack from a distance.

These are the directions that Nie Fang pursues.

The emergence of Yuanci swordsmanship was like finding a treasure to him as he had already been studying thunder magic.

So at this moment, the "common man" was furious and destroyed everything in his power!

However, his "countercurrent" was still able to hold out in the face of continuous siege and attacks, which far exceeded Nie Song's expectations.

Inside the bodies of "Countercurrent" and "Ordinary Man", there is a small amount of pure Yang fire as the core, which constantly interweaves with the surrounding Yin fire power and circulates in a chain, thereby obtaining a total amount of mana and recovery far beyond the past.

If not, it would not be enough to support the "common man" to launch the magnetic flying sword.

This was the improvement Nie Fang made after he reached the fourth level of perfection in the eighth heaven.

As Nie Song had expected, he was looking for his sword on the boat.

As the gate of Wenmo City collapsed, the rain of arrows formed by the ink characters suddenly became sparse, and the impact of this area on the forelimbs of the "countercurrent" figure also weakened.

The "countercurrent" suddenly rushed out again, cooperating with the "common man" from far and near, and immediately began to tear apart the vast sea of ​​ink that had accumulated for a long time.

However, the mirror-like eyes of the mechanical puppet seemed to reveal a hint of humanity at this moment.

As his "gaze" swept over them, many people appeared one after another around him.

Many important officials of the Chu Party of the Ming Dynasty appeared around, including Zeng Kui, a great scholar who had reached the ninth level of perfection.

Nie Fang's father, Nie Zhongjie, was also among them.

The Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu overlooks the human world, which is terrifying.

But the Taoist sect is pressing forward step by step, seemingly at a leisurely pace, but it is actually digging up the foundations of all the great Neo-Confucian scholars, making people feel as if someone is strangling their necks and they are gradually suffocating.

No matter how much they feared the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, they had no choice but to deal with it when things got to this point.

While not moving the successor of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, we must also contain and stop the pressure from the Taoist sect.

Nie Fang is low-key and peaceful in other matters, but he is high-profile and has a special background in the Ming Dynasty, so he is a suitable target.

Because he was afraid of the heavenly punishment from Mount Longhu, Zeng Kui had no intention of taking action himself, but he supported Nie Zhongjie, Nie Song and others to prevent any other changes.

"Father, I am incompetent." Nie Song's face was full of shame.

Nie Zhong looked up and down at the mechanical puppet in front of him:
"I neglected to discipline you in the past, and you didn't read much of the sages' books, which is why you are so rebellious and evil today. I, Nie, feel ashamed of my ancestors."

The mechanical puppet's "eyes" were fixed on the other party, but it did not linger for long, and continued to scan the people of the Ming Dynasty around it.

Nie Fang's voice was as calm as usual: "It's rare that the three of us have a consensus. Compared with the grudges of one family, we are more concerned about the impact of Neo-Confucianism, patriarchal system and rituals on the entire human world.

Without you and your son, it is very important to me personally. Without all of you, it is very important to this world."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Kui's expression changed.

The soul of a Neo-Confucianist is only stronger than that of practitioners of the other three meridians of Confucianism, but inferior in agility, so his perception and insight are not as good as those of other Confucian practitioners.

But Zeng Kui was a great Neo-Confucian scholar who had reached the fifth level of perfection in the Ninth Heaven. At this time, he still sensed that there were other masters approaching.

Far more than one person.

And surrounded from all directions.

Unfortunately, Zeng Kui had no time to retreat. As soon as he thought about it, a sword light as bright as the long river of time had already surrounded him.

That meant that Shen Xi, the great swordsman from Shushan who had reached the fifth level of perfection in the Ninth Heaven and the head of the Shushan sect in Southern Jin, had arrived.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are no strangers to this Taoist weapon-refining immortal.

Zeng Kui looked around and saw many other Taoist masters arriving one after another.

They set up an ambush on Nie Fang.

The other side also ambushed them in return.

Nie Song used himself as bait.

The same is true for Nie Fang.

"Zizzsssssssssss!"

There was a sound of electricity. Since all the seniors from Shenxi Dao Sect were already there, Nie Fang said no more.

The second sword of "Common Man" flew out!

Nie Zhongjie stepped in to resist on behalf of Nie Song, but Wen Mo was still defeated.

Nie Song, who lost the protection of patriarchal rituals, had no time to dodge and his body was pierced and torn apart by the flying spikes on the spot!

Nie Zhongjie had no time to lament that he was sending off a young person.

"Countercurrent" moved like light and was already in front of him. He stretched out his palm and pressed down like collapsing the sky.

As Shen Xi's sword flashed, the literary and ritual systems set up by Zeng Kui were broken one after another, and Nie Zhongjie's methods were even more useless.

He could only temporarily mobilize Wen Mo to resist.

But after a slight delay, the "common man" who was originally far away came behind him.

After he swung out two swords in succession and the accumulated sword force exploded with power, the light in the eyes of the "common man" also dimmed.

But its sturdy body still contains powerful strength, and it is able to resist the "countercurrent".

"...Rebellious son!" Nie Zhongjie looked up and saw the sky gradually closing and disappearing between the fingers of the two iron weapons.

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

Under the guidance of the Yuqing Zhoutian Magic Mirror, Lei Jun swept his eyes across the place.

Today, Nie Fang settled his personal grudge.

However, as he said to Nie Zhongjie and Nie Song, father and son, what he cares about most now is no longer his personal past.

As for the changes in the Neo-Confucian patriarchal ritual system, they have only just begun.

Not to mention the existence of great Confucian scholars like Zhou Mingzhe, even if all the Neo-Confucianists were eradicated, their influence would still be far-reaching in the minds of ordinary people.

The three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight, and it also takes time to thaw slowly.

Lei Jun watched Nie Fang's two mechanical puppets with great interest.

The Taoist Yanshi technique has been passed down from generation to generation, and the knowledge of predecessors for Nie Fang to refer to is becoming less and less.

From then on, like Zhang Wantong and Meng Shaojie, he needed to continue to study and explore on his own.

The road ahead is bound to be bumpy, but the feedback from heaven and earth that the new lineage inherits will also be very rich.

After today's battle, Nie Fang carefully summarized and concluded that the realm of Ninth Heaven Mahayana is within sight.

No matter from which aspect, he is a master who founded a school.

When he reached the Ninth Heaven, there was no Yanshi in history who had a higher level of cultivation than him.

Every step he takes afterwards will be the latest, and he will be the first person and the first representative of this lineage.

Seeing his progress and the new Taoist tradition constantly innovating, Lei Jun felt happy.

He has always loved this kind of thing, and while he was happy for Nie Fang, he also enjoyed it.

Lei Jun also felt a little emotional.

In terms of actual combat methods, his three disciples actually inherited some or part of the characteristics of their master.

Overall, it was Nie Fang whose ideas were closest to his.

Han Xiaofei even discussed this with Zhuo Baojie, and felt that in terms of the characteristics of his magical powers, Master Nie of Xuanji Temple was like a shrunken version of his own master.

Lei Jun couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

With Shen Xi, Chen Lingfeng, Zhang Taigang and others present, Lei Jun no longer paid any attention to this battle.

However, he does not interfere in human affairs, but other people in the world dare not ignore this contemporary heavenly master.

In the human world of the Ming Dynasty, someone took the initiative to contact and visit Han Xiaofei, the second disciple of the Heavenly Master who was active in this human world.

In a way, a somewhat unexpected visitor.

Luo Hai is the current leader of the rebel army that controls a region in the Ming Dynasty.

To be precise, Luo Hai does not only represent himself.

Facing Han Xiaofei from the Tianshi Mansion, he rarely spoke directly and stated that he came on behalf of the Pixiu Demon Saint.

Han Xiaofei had heard her master Lei Jun mention the existence of the Pixiu Demon Saint before, and was full of curiosity at this time.

Although she has already walked the world, as a disciple of the Heavenly Master, she can decide many matters on her own. This is both her privilege as Lei Jun's disciple and the training of her master. However, the matter involves a demon saint above the Ninth Heaven. No matter how unsure Han Xiaofei is, she will not act on her own at this time, but will report it to her master Lei Jun first.

Lei Jun had a deep insight into the human world and knew that Luo Hai and the Pi Xiu Demon Saint had no ill intentions, so he allowed Luo Hai to enter Guizang and meet him there himself.

In other words, meeting the Pixiu Demon Saint. Luo Hai was led to Guizang by Han Xiaofei, feeling deeply moved.

Taoism and Longhu Mountain are indeed full of talented people.

Although Han Xiaofei was leading the way in front of him, Luo Hai always felt that he could not grasp her presence.

If the other person didn't speak from time to time, he might not even be able to detect his movements if he closed his eyes.

We were able to find Han Xiaofei earlier thanks to the Pixiu Demon Saint.

They can only find Han Xiaofei when the gap in the cultivation levels of the two parties is too great.

When he entered Guizang, the empty world here made Luo Hai feel nervous again.

Under the guidance of Han Xiaofei, Luo Hai saw the extremely tall Taoist priest, who looked like a young man, wearing a nine-colored robe and a Yuanshi crown on his head, standing calmly in the distance.

When Luo Hai looked at it, he felt as if he was looking up at the starry sky. It seemed all-encompassing, yet mysterious and unpredictable, making him feel extremely insignificant.

"Junior Luo Hai, I am here to pay my respects to the Heavenly Master." Luo Hai stepped forward and saluted.

After Han Xiaofei stood beside Lei Jun, Lei Jun said calmly, "Mr. Luo, please don't be polite."

Luo Hai: "May the Heavenly Master have infinite life and blessings."

After saying this, he stood with his hands behind his back and said no more.

A faint black aura emerged from his body.

The black gas condensed above his head and turned into the shape of a strange beast, which was the legendary Pixiu.

Lei Jun looked at it calmly.

Instead, a rather human and complex expression appeared on Pixiu's face.

Although the other party was a newly rising youngster, he was extremely wary of Lei Jun.

The reason is simple. Many of the top and most powerful demon tribes in the Ming Dynasty were killed by the Taoist in front of him.

Apart from the destruction of the Ming capital, Lei Jun rarely cared about the human cultivators of the Ming Dynasty.

Because other human cultivators have often traveled among the people of the Daming Dynasty in recent years and exchanged information with each other, Luo Hai and Pi Xiukong have also heard of them.

In other human worlds, Lei Jun also had times when he specifically killed powerful monsters.

Although Pixiu Kong has achieved the body of a demon saint, he still has to be vigilant about this.

But he finally decided to take this trip.

The reason is that according to rumors, there is a great demon, the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix, which is still safely in Luoyuan.

It's just that Pi Xiukong still took a huge risk by coming here and entering Guizang on his own initiative. When he really faced Lei Jun at this moment, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

"Demon Saint Pixiu, I've long heard of your great name." Lei Jun said calmly.

Pixiukong: "I don't deserve it."

Lei Jun: "What brings you here, sir?"

He looked normal and spoke in a calm tone. Although he was indifferent, at least there was no hostility or dissatisfaction on his face for the time being.

Luo Hai saw this and felt relieved:
It seems that the previous speculation was correct.

Master Lei Tianshi’s ability to identify monsters does not depend on whether they are cultivating evil spirits or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The decisive factor is more likely to be whether this monster has committed large-scale killings, causing great suffering to the people.

However, those who cultivate evil spirits are not only mostly brutal, cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, they will also develop a strong appetite for those who cultivate spiritual energy or even ordinary mortals, or they will use the souls and blood of living beings to practice demonic magic. Therefore, most big demons regard human life as worthless and are full of blood.

The demon saint Kunpeng in Guixu once caused the death of a large number of lives in the human world of the Song Dynasty.

Cases like the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix are extremely rare exceptions.

The current Pixiu Demon Saint is another exception.

On the one hand, it is because the Pixiu is also a auspicious beast. On the other hand, it is because the Pixiu itself is gifted, but it is different from the extremely greedy Taotie.

Strictly speaking, the Pixiu Demon Saint may not be like the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix who never comes into contact with the human world, but generally speaking, he rarely does evil.

Of course, if I must say this, it is also related to the fact that he was suppressed by Venerable Shanzhihui for many years.

After escaping, he urgently needed to recuperate, but the situation in the human world was special and it was difficult for the masters of the fairyland to move freely in it.

If the situation really reaches the end of its rope, the Pi Xiu Demon Saint might be forced to jump off the wall.

But it was the time and fate that led him to meet Luo Hai and other great Confucian scholars such as Zhou Mingzhe who worked to reform the current Neo-Confucian ritual system.

In the end, the Pixiu Demon Saint and Luo Hai benefited from each other, and in turn they took advantage of the old leaders in the Ming court.

Although the previous adventure to intercept Venerable Shanzhihui caused a large amount of the Pixiu Demon Saint's hard-earned gains to be consumed.

But as he was about to reunite with the human world, his situation had stabilized and there was no need for him to take any risks.

However, given the current situation in the human world and where the future will go, the Pixiu Demon Saint still has to care about Lei Jun's attitude.

"I don't want to be concerned about other human affairs. I just hope to be able to rest and recuperate." The Pixiu Demon Saint spoke in human language: "Thanks to the bald donkey, I have been regressing for many years. I no longer have the energy to continue to break through. I can't expect to make further progress. Now I just want to spend my old age in peace."

This is also the reason why he did not consider the old members of the Heavenly Palace.

Although Gao Tiansui tolerates cultivators from all backgrounds and seeks like-minded people without asking about their past origins, everything that happened during the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty has shown that the former followers of the Heavenly Palace are either our enemies or our enemies, and it is difficult for others to stay out of it.

Although Lei Jun is merciless in slaying demons and monsters, and even confronts his former subordinates in the Heavenly Palace, he does not mind the existence of neutral parties and does not force people to take sides.

Therefore, if he has to choose between the ancient and modern Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain, the Pixiu Demon Saint hopes that Lei Jun will win.

Although he wanted to stay out of it, he knew he had to say something, so he took the risk to meet Lei Jun.

"Your Excellency's cultivation is rare, I hope you will not change your mind and do not let the people suffer."

Lei Jun listened to what Pixiu Kong said, his expression was normal: "I also hope that you can get what you want."

Pixiukong looked towards Luo Hai.

Luo Hai saluted him and Lei Jun, and then said: "The Ming court is corrupt, and the replacement of the divine weapons is supposed to be occupied by the capable and the virtuous. I am not talented enough, and I don't think I have enough talent to compete for the world. I just hope that this world can put order, and that will be enough for me."

Pixiukong said to Luo Haiyan: "Human affairs are human affairs. The Heavenly Master acts on behalf of Heaven and rarely intervenes in the human world. I will try not to intervene in the future. The rest of the road depends on you."

Since this adventure was successful and Lei Jun did not show any hostility, Luo Hai could return to the Ming Dynasty and deal with other Taoist masters more freely. The two sides gradually merged and he no longer needed to rely on Pi Xiu Kong to help him establish a presence in troubled times.

"It is a blessing for the people if the laymen care about the common people," said Lei Junyan.

Luo Hai hurriedly said, "Master, your words are too kind. I don't deserve that."

Pixiu looked at Lei Jun with his eyes wide open. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke again:
“I want to retire and enjoy my old age, but I have also heard a saying from humans: ‘The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.’

Today, I have been grateful for the care of the Heavenly Master, and I should repay him. At the same time, helping you is also helping myself. If you can win the fight with the old people in the Heavenly Palace, I can rest in peace.

However, I need a long time to prepare. Water from afar cannot quench a nearby fire. The Heavenly Master is fighting with the old members of the Heavenly Palace, so I may not be able to catch up."

Lei Jun had a calm expression, "It's okay. People like us who practice Taoism should follow the will of heaven and act according to fate."

Han Xiaofei sent the guests off on behalf of her master. After sending the Pixiu Demon Saint and Luo Hai away from Guizang to the Daming world, she returned and asked curiously:
"Master, what method is the Pixiu Demon Saint planning? Since he has such a method, why doesn't he use it on himself to heal his wounds?"

Lei Jun smiled slightly: "It's okay, just wait and see."

He turned to look at his apprentice and nodded with satisfaction: "I have been running around outside a lot recently, but I haven't been lazy in my practice."

Han Xiaofei smiled brightly: "Master, I have always been very serious and hardworking in my practice!"

Lei Jun: "I haven't relaxed my cultivation of magical powers, I'm always making the most of my time."

Han Xiaofei nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes!"

Lei Jun: "You are so hardworking. After seeing off the guests, you turned into a Pixiu when you came back to your master."

Han Xiaofei: "Uh... Master, please forgive me."

The smaller Pixiu in front of him cried out in apology and ran away as if escaping.

Seeing this, Lei Jun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

The second disciple was often unreliable, but as she said, she never slacked off in her daily practice and was rather very hardworking.

In the next three years, she practiced hard and, following Zhuo Baojie, successfully cultivated to the eighth level of the Taoist Talisman School's Divine Court and began to open up the universe within her body.

After she came out of retreat, she officially took over the shift from her eldest senior brother Zhuo Baojie, and was responsible for supervising the practice of her third junior brother Feng Ting on behalf of her master Lei Jun on a daily basis.

Zhuo Baojie began to retreat, preparing for the natural disaster between the eighth and ninth heavens.

A few years later than him, Qin Caiwei successfully reached the fourth level of the eighth heaven.

However, compared to Zhuo Baojie who has already begun to prepare for the breakthrough to the Mahayana realm, Qin Caiwei, who has just reached the perfection of the eighth level, still needs quite some time of silent accumulation.

On the other hand, among the Han people today, after years of practice, Kang Ming has successfully taken this step forward.

For the first time in history, Huang Tiandao had his own Nine-Layered Heaven Mahayana master.

At this time, Lei Jun looked at the four dark lights that came out of the dark universe of his heavenly book. Zhou Pu and Kang Ming had successfully reached the ninth heaven realm, while Nie Fang and Meng Shaojie had also perfected the fourth level of the eighth heaven and began to prepare for the impact of the ninth heaven.

Compared to Nie Fang who has been very active in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, Meng Shaojie, who is also there, is much quieter.

He silently observed and recorded the ups and downs of the world, and almost completely experienced the Ming Dynasty's rise and fall, and then to its end.

For him who is studying the path of historian, such experience is invaluable.

So much so that Meng Shaojie himself treasured it and studied it carefully.

With his talent and experience, his speed of breaking through to the Ninth Heaven realm should not be slower than Kang Ming's.

However, in recent years, he has been calmly summarizing and organizing historical materials from all aspects, slightly slowing down the pace of self-accumulation and upward improvement.

Although it was not Meng Shaojie's personal intention, the trend of accumulating strength and then making a breakthrough gradually emerged.

Zhang Wantong is no longer in this world, and Meng Shaojie has lost his best mentor.

But compared to his early years, he can now face the current situation calmly and peacefully, hoping that Zhang Wantong is safe. He even observes and records the various changes in this world in recent years from a relatively detached perspective.

"Twenty years have passed since Master Lei Tianshi ascended to immortality and stopped the premature merging of the human world. Sixteen years have passed since Your Majesty entered the Abyss of Time..."

Meng Shaojie flipped through the book in front of him: "Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Master once said that without human interference, the time for the human world to merge will not be far away. I think it is almost here."

He closed the book in front of him and said, "I hope that Your Majesty will be blessed by heaven."

At the same time, Lei Jun sat in Guizang and waited quietly.

Later, Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen reappeared in Guizang.

"Almost twenty years, are you ready?" Xu Yuanzhen looked at Lei Jun with interest.

Lei Jun nodded: "It's about this year, so I have to disturb Senior Sister's meditation in Kunlun."

Xu Yuanzhen sat down casually beside the Abyss of Time: "It's okay, my side is almost fine, just keep warming it in the furnace."

Lei Jun: "In that case, thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Gui Zang."

After saying goodbye to Xu Yuanzhen, he left Guizang and headed for Saha.

Here, Lei Jun used his own magical powers to finally take out the Yuqing Miro Cave.

The Saha world did not completely collapse because of this.

In the deep valleys and cracks underground, a large number of talismans flashed with light, interweaving into a mist of light that filled the broken gaps in the Saha world.

Lei Jun raised his hand and drew a line in the air with his fingers, and then a black and white Tai Chi diagram emerged and fell into it.

Then the cracks in the Saha world began to heal gradually, and the light faded away.

Until finally, the talisman's light completely disappeared, and the cracks in the void also completely disappeared.

On the ground in the deep valley, there was only a huge black and white Tai Chi diagram left.

Wang Guiyuan, who looked like the monk Faqing, was watching on the side. Seeing this, his body shape changed and returned to his original appearance.

The Taoist in a crimson Taoist robe bowed to Lei Jun: "Sapo Suyu, the master has infinite blessings and virtues."

Lei Jun returned the greeting: "It's been years of preparation, and it's not just my work. I'll have to work hard next time, senior brother."

Wang Guiyuan: "May your success be complete."

Lei Jun said goodbye to him and stepped into the Yuqing Miluo Cave.

This cave finally regained its ability to move through the void.

Next, Lei Jun did not wander between the nine heavens and ten earths, but took the Yuqing Miro Cave Heaven and returned directly to the Tang Dynasty human world and returned to the ancestral temple of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Yuan Mobai, who had received the news early, had already made preparations in the Wanfa Sect.

The Yuqing Miluo Cave Heaven stopped in the void, echoing the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven from afar.

Lei Jun himself entered the Wanfa Sect.

He stayed here for the next year.

A faint dust of light fell from Lei Jun's body.

The immortals have not yet merged with the human world, and when they enter the human world, their immortal power and magic will still dissipate to some extent.

As Lei Jun's Tai Chi body circulated, he gradually gained replenishment from the surrounding human world.

Man and nature vaguely form a cycle.

Relatively speaking, Lei Jun lost more.

Given his foundation, there will be no major problems for a certain period of time.

But if the time span continues to lengthen, it will also cause a burden.

Especially since he is going to launch an attack towards the second level of Dongxuan realm next.

Lei Jun looked calm, breathing silently and concentrating his mind.

The light of the Wanfa Sect Altar was flowing, but no special scene was seen.

However, the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven, the Yuqing Miluo Cave Heaven and the Taiqing Duren Cave Heaven far away in the Han human world today all have talisman arrays glowing inside.

At the same time, the arrangements that Lei Jun had previously entrusted to Chu Kun, Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei and others to make among various people began to take effect.

The world of the Tang Dynasty, the world of the Song Dynasty, the world of the modern Han Dynasty, the world of the Two Jin Dynasties, the world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and even the world of the Ming Dynasty which has not yet calmed down.

The spiritual energy of the mountains, rivers and land flows quietly and imperceptibly.

In the six directions of the human world, the mundane atmosphere of ordinary people and the spiritual energy of the earth and mountains quietly converge, unknown to the outside world. Through special rituals, they cross the barriers of space and distance and converge at the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

Affected by these rituals, not only did Lei Jun not suffer an accelerated loss of his own immortal power, but as the black and white Tai Chi diagram circulated, he received more feedback from the human world.

The cycle established between each other gradually reaches a balance.

Although he needs to maintain his current state of sitting still, Lei Jun is now staying in the world forever, no longer affected or disturbed by anything.

He continues to nourish himself.

Winter goes and summer arrives.

Master Lei Tianshi celebrated his 120th birthday and entered the age of 200.

This summer, he unfolded his dual Dao Jing Xuan Yuan.

Then, the two mysterious universes gradually began to merge.

It's not the same as before, but it's really starting to merge into one.

It was during this process that Lei Jun began to strive for the second level of Dongxuan realm.

Different from his previous ascension to immortality which was a natural process without any disasters, now when he is going from the first level of Dongxuan to the second level of Dongxuan, Lei Jun is also facing the disaster of natural chasm.

In Lei Jun's sea of ​​consciousness, the world seemed to shatter before his eyes.

At the end of the ancient times, the scene of the nine heavens and ten earths splitting apart seemed to reappear.

At the same time, it also seemed to tear apart Lei Jun's immortal body and his Dao Jing Xuan Yuan.

But Lei Jun remained safe.

He is in constant contact with the six parties.

In contrast to these six human worlds, in other worlds, the talismans left by Lei Jun before began to take effect quietly.

Ranked among the nine heavens are Kunlun, Penglai, Datong, Saha, Xumi and Lingshan.

The ten lands are Dihai, Huangquan, Luoyuan, Daju, Kongsang, and... Dahuang.

With the restoration of the Song Dynasty, Mu Chunyang and others had previously conquered the wilderness, and the grassland ethnic minorities in the Song Dynasty officially became history.

The talisman left by Chu Kun was now controlled by Lei Jun and echoed with the human world.

six days.

Six places.

The six-sided world.

Although it is not a complete world of nine heavens and ten earths, under the circulation of Lei Jun's Tai Chi body, it continues to transform and evolve, gathering charm and blessing Lei Jun, helping him to face the natural disaster that seems like the split of the nine heavens and ten earths in the late ancient times.

Tai Chi Taoism is the basis and the method of conception is naturally enlightened.

All this not only accelerated Lei Jun's previous practice, but also prepared for this moment.

He has been operating and preparing in these heavens and earth and in the human world for many years, and has prepared his own magic method specifically for overcoming the current disaster.

then……

The second level of Dongxuan realm was achieved today.

Lei Jun opened his eyes.

His Dao Jing Xuan Yuan also changed from Tian Shi Yuan to Tai Wei Yuan.

The new immortal secret that had been conceived for many years was also born from this and turned from conception into reality.

As Lei Jun cultivated Taiweiyuan, all the talisman sect monks in the eighth heaven and above in this vast world were cheered up.

Yuan Mobai, Chu Kun and Kang Ming, who were in the Ninth Heaven realm, felt for a moment that their Mahayana vision was vibrating due to the external environment, as if it was unfolding automatically out of control.

There are more monks of the Talisman Sect in the Eighth Heaven Realm. The first and second levels of the Eighth Heaven are still okay, but for the monks at the third level of the Eighth Heaven Divine Court External Scene and the fourth level of the Eighth Heaven Divine Court Upper Scene, the Divine Court Universe immediately unfolds.

Release and then take it back.

As a true disciple of a holy land with a long history, everyone was surprised and recalled the situation recorded in the ancient books of the sect. Then they suddenly realized and their excitement was beyond words:
After the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, an immortal from the Taoist talisman sect reached the second level of the Dongxuan realm.
