Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 538 537. Playing the long game to catch the big dragon (two chapters in one)

Lei Jun was surprised when he received the first message from Zhao Chanyang.

But it's probably still within the scope of understanding.

When he went to the demon world, he used his own Tai Chi to help Zhao Chanyang. The combination of the first Taiyi and the last Taiji of the Five Innate Taiji, coupled with the fact that Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang both had extraordinary comprehension, led to various unusual changes, thus producing more additional magical effects.
They are all people seeking the Tao, and they had several layers of affinity with each other before, so Lei Jun is considered to be one of Zhao Chanyang's rare friends, even better than many of his fellow disciples of Kunwu Sect.

After that, Lei Jun became the leader of Xuanmen, and Zhao Chanyang also made an exception and went to Longhu Mountain in person to participate in the Xuanmen ceremony.

After that, the two sides occasionally exchanged views on the path of spiritual practice, and both felt that they had gained a lot.

But that was basically just news and letters.

As it is now, it is really rare for Zhao Chanyang to take the initiative to invite others to visit without going through Zhang Haipeng.

Apart from the fact that Zhao Chanyang himself suddenly came to Longhu Mountain in person, Lei Jun couldn't think of anything more surprising than this.

Judging from the other party's behavior, it seemed that the situation was unusual.

Lei Jun's first reaction to this matter was to wait and not respond immediately.

He was waiting to see if the ball of light in his mind would react and provide luck.

Although with Zhao Chanyang's current cultivation strength and amazing talent, it should not be possible for someone to kill him silently and then use that to set a trap to ambush Master Lei.

But the situation was so abnormal that Lei Jun became accustomed to it and became more cautious.

Even if the possibility is low given Zhao Chanyang's strength and talent, but in the current known circumstances, there are still strong people above the third level of the fairyland who can bring him down.

Lei Jun also needs to be careful and cautious against similar opponents.

Fortunately, the light ball in Lei Jun's mind did not react.

This made him even more curious, and since there was nothing else important happening around, he agreed and set off for Kunlun.

When we arrived at Kunlun Qingwei Heaven, Zhang Haipeng, the head of Kunwu Sect, was already waiting for us.

Seeing Lei Jun coming, he quickly saluted: "Zhang Haipeng greets the Master."

Lei Jun returned the greeting: "But what's the emergency?"

Zhang Haipeng: "At the moment, it doesn't seem to be imminent, but it is quite strange, and Chan Yang is also hard to say for sure, so I'm bothering you, Master."

Lei Jun: “No problem.”

Zhao Chanyang is currently in seclusion.

Led by Zhang Haipeng, Lei Jun and the other two arrived at the place where Zhao Chanyang was in seclusion without alerting other people from the Kunwu Sect.

When Lei Jun arrived, the light white mist dispersed, revealing Zhao Chanyang in a moon-white Taoist robe. He bowed to Lei Jun and said, "Master."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, is this matter related to the Demon Dragon Emperor?" Lei Jun sat down with the master and disciple.

Zhao Chanyang can't be said to be a man who never leaves the house.

Before he ascended to heaven and achieved his primordial spirit, he had traveled outside and accidentally met Zhang Wantong, who had also failed to achieve sainthood at that time.

But whenever he went out, he was always alone and tried his best to avoid interacting with people.

Up to now, in addition to Kunwu Sect's old enemy Ge Xuanzhi, the one with whom Zhao Chanyang has a deep karmic entanglement is the Demon Dragon Emperor, whom he offended during his last wandering in the world of demons.

Like the Great Destroying Bodhisattva and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, although the situation of the Demon Dragon Emperor is not very stable, but in most of the time, especially in frontal combat, he can basically be regarded as a great saint above the demon saint.

Zhao Chanyang's talent and strength are extraordinary, and he is incomparable to other cultivators at the same level.

His double flowers gathered at the top of his head in the second level of the fairyland firmly defeated Ge Xuanzhi, a powerful soul master at the same level.

If he successfully reaches the third level of the fairyland, gathers the three flowers at the top of his head to practice spirit and return to the void, then he will naturally be better than the third level masters of the fairyland such as Ku Hai Da Zun, Lian Feng, Zheng Yan, Qiu Li and so on.

However, Zhao Chanyang is still in the second level of the fairyland. Unlike Lei Jun, he can not circulate the power of the universe through the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Fairy Formation to meet the enemy. An opponent like the Demon Dragon Emperor may capsize him. Depending on the situation, there is a possibility that he cannot even escape.

Fortunately, Zhao Chanyang managed to escape successfully last time.

According to him, the Demon Dragon Emperor seemed to be distracted by other things.

But now it seems that there may be other mysteries behind the other things that the other party had been distractedly planning.

And the reason why Zhao Chanyang managed to escape successfully at that time might be that the other party was planning to take advantage of the situation.

"I'm ashamed. I'm not sure whether this is what the Demon Dragon Emperor is planning."

Zhao Chanyang said softly: "However, I also made this guess."

He raised his hand, and some kind of illusory and invisible existence gradually condensed and finally turned into a hazy auspicious cloud.

Lei Jun watched quietly.

It shouldn't be something like parasitism or possession.

Unless Zhao Chanyang is captured alive by the Demon Dragon Emperor and slowly dealt with, even if there is a gap in the realm of both parties, with Zhao Chanyang's talent and strength, the Demon Dragon Emperor will not be able to succeed.

What's more, Zhao Chanyang had just returned from the world of demons, and Lei Jun had dealt with him at close range several times, but he also didn't notice anything unusual in this regard.

Zhao Chanyang was injured at that time, and his recovery went smoothly afterwards, and he kept reflecting on himself.

Even if the other party's hiding methods were very secretive and cunning, whether they could be exorcised after such a long time was another matter, but Zhao Chanyang would not be unable to find any clues.

In fact, he did find something strange now, but it was not that the Demon Dragon Emperor had left something extra on him.

But... the other party seemed to be taking something from him slowly but continuously.

"It is related to my Taiyi Dao body, but Taiyi is not much to speak of, it neither increases nor decreases."

Zhao Chanyang frowned slightly: "It's more like... secretly sharing what I have gained from my practice. Although it's subtle and has almost no impact on me, it's still a continuous profit sharing."

At first he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

After obtaining the talisman formed by Lei Jun's condensed Tai Chi true meaning, he combined it with his own Tai Yi and further studied it, making the outline of things become much clearer.

But the overall situation remains unclear.

So after much deliberation, Zhao Chanyang finally decided to ask Lei Jun for help.

Lei Jun listened quietly to Zhao Chanyang's introduction of the situation, while his eyes were fixed on the fuzzy auspicious clouds formed by the opponent's magical power.

He didn't speak at the first moment. After looking at it for a while, he said, "I'm sorry."

Like Zhao Chanyang, Lei Jun raised his hand, and strands of magic power condensed and transformed into a black and white Tai Chi diagram.

However, this Tai Chi diagram did not directly confirm Zhao Chanyang's auspicious clouds, but was unfolded on the spot, vaguely turning into a formation diagram.

The seemingly concise and delicate formation flows silently.

Zhang Haipeng, who was currently at the perfect ninth level of cultivation, could only barely see that Sect Leader Lei was clearly using a simplified formation diagram to circulate the power of the universe.

I think that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are used as a further isolation to prevent the culprit suspected to be the Demon Dragon Emperor from noticing the changes here, so as not to alert the enemy.

Zhao Chanyang's eyes lit up immediately when he looked at the miniature formation diagram.

After the miniature formation covered them, Lei Jun used his own magic power to condense an even smaller black and white Tai Chi diagram and combined it with Zhao Chanyang's hazy auspicious clouds.

The two looked at each other, and strange lights began to flash in their pupils.

After a moment, Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang nodded at the same time and said in unison: "Demon Dragon Emperor."

When Zhao Chanyang escaped from the world of demons, it seemed that he still had some sequelae.

The aftereffects don't seem to be obvious and have no obvious lethality to him.

Strictly speaking, during his daily practice, the Demon Dragon Emperor would take a small amount of his practice proceeds and use them for other purposes.

The reason why he was targeted by the Demon Dragon Emperor is probably closely related to his Taiyi Taoist body.

At present, the harm is not great, and it will last for a long time. Even the impact on his daily practice and improvement is very limited, and it will not slow down his progress much.

Therefore, it was extremely secretive, and Zhao Chanyang only realized something was wrong recently.

But on the one hand, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party will expand it further, and on the other hand, how to exorcise it remains a difficult problem.

"Quite ingenious, and quite stubborn."

Lei Jun's tone was full of admiration: "The abyss of time blocks the connection between the two worlds, solid and tenacious."

Such means are amazing.

However, combined with the unstable situation of the Demon Dragon Emperor, Lei Jun further speculated whether there was another mystery and it was not entirely the Demon Dragon Emperor's own means?

"It's like he's borrowing my power to refine pills or treasures..." Zhao Chanyang pondered.

Although the Taoist Danding School does not emphasize external elixirs, and refining of instruments and medicines are rare, Zhao Chanyang's current cultivation strength is already very close to mastering all methods. What's more, he has a Taiyi Taoist body and can practice all kinds of Taoist methods in the world. He just doesn't care much about this aspect.

Now face to face with Lei Jun and with his help, Zhao Chanyang quickly noticed more problems.

Lei Jun confirmed Zhao Chanyang's judgment: "I feel the same way. It should be about the same."

He thought for a moment and then said, "This is about the Demon Dragon Emperor. I would like to ask other Taoist friends for help. I wonder what Taoist Zhao thinks?"

Zhao Chanyang smiled bitterly: "...Thank you, Master."

Although the impact does not seem to be significant at the moment, things have come to this point and he will not choose to turn a blind eye to it.

Zhang Haipeng also stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Master."

Lei Jun: "You two are too kind."

After bidding farewell to Zhang Haipeng, he took Zhao Chanyang to Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After decades of separation, Zhang Wantong returned to Luoyang for the first time.

However, although her presence in Luoyang still exists, this time she returns to her hometown, she is no longer visiting as the Emperor of Tang, but as the Confucian sage Tianrui.

He Ying is history.

Now it is Tianrui lay Buddhist Zhang Wantong.

Given the current situation, the members of the Zhang and Tang royal families have nothing else to say.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for opening up new disciplines and achieving the three immortal realms of a historical saint." Lei Junze looked calm and congratulated Zhang Wantong.

The same is true for Zhao Chanyang.

Zhang Wantong, who was fishing, did not put down his fishing rod. He greeted the two Taoists and sat down directly without any hesitation.

Just like when he was traveling with Zhang Haipeng, Zhao Chanyang was now traveling with Lei Jun. He spoke even less, while Lei Jun went straight to the point and introduced the situation.

"Demon Dragon Emperor..." Zhang Wantong thought for a moment and turned to look at Zhao Chanyang.

The other party is a Taiyi Dao body, which is not easy for the enemy to spy on, and it is also not easy for friends to see through his depth.

Zhang Wantong also saw the clues only after Zhao Chanyang deliberately revealed some traces:
"It is indeed the work of the Demon Dragon Emperor. It intends to use Taoist Zhao's Taiyi Dao Body to refine the magic weapon it needs. The purpose of this magic weapon is still unknown, but... it was able to silently allow Taoist Zhao to be possessed for more than ten years without him noticing. It must have borrowed some special magic treasure related to Taoism to achieve its purpose."

Is it the Taixuan treasure related to the Conferred God Talisman... Lei Jun guessed in his heart.

"In order to keep it secret, the tricks done by the Demon Dragon Emperor are still relatively subtle." Zhang Wantong said: "If we work together to study it, it is possible to exorcise it."

Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang both nodded.

Unlike them, he is still at the second level of fairyland cultivation.

Zhang Wantong has successfully reached the third level of the fairyland.

When they joined forces, they had many methods to use. The Demon Dragon Emperor's methods were sophisticated and strong, and even though they were separated by two great worlds and the abyss of time, his secret methods could still take effect.

But on the other hand, it is still separated by the Abyss of Time, which restrains and reduces it a lot.

Even if we take a step back and say that the worst that can happen is that we have Yan Aoyun, who has already reached the level of a Saint Master, to support us.

"Since this is a ritual that spans two worlds, it would be best if there is someone in the demon world to help." Zhang Wantong looked at Lei Jun: "Is Taoist Master Xu still there?"

Lei Jun: "Yes, our sect's senior sister has not left that world yet."

He contacted Xu Yuanzhen.

As time goes by, his personal cultivation becomes deeper, and his understanding of the Abyss of Time becomes better and better. Lei Jun can now contact people from the other world more accurately and quickly than before.

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yuanzhen became interested.

She seemed to laugh: "Demon Dragon Emperor, you deserve it."

The heaven in the world of demons is not peaceful at present.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Previously, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva was chasing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree. In order to maintain the balance between the three parties, the Demon Dragon Emperor intervened and helped the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree to temporarily rescue itself.

But its abnormality at that time was keenly noticed by Bodhisattva Damie.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree and the demons in the human world retreated, and the Great Destruction Bodhisattva led the descendants of the Demon Buddha to invade the human world.

Next, although the Bodhisattva Damie failed to capture the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree, he became more and more aggressive and even began to invade the heavens.

This time, its actions were not so violent, but more to test the true situation of the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Perhaps it was because the Demon Dragon Emperor was busy dealing with the Great Destruction Bodhisattva that his already unstable self became more volatile, which caused Zhao Chanyang to notice something was wrong.

Among the three great demons, the Dragon Emperor is the most slippery and agile.

Therefore, Lei Jun and others did not consider this trip and went straight to kill the other party.

It seems that the situation is not right and the Demon Dragon Emperor may retreat.

What’s more, it is impossible to tell whether Mahāmie Bodhisattva is an enemy or a friend.

But according to the current situation, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to resolve Zhao Chanyang’s problem.

However, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree recovered later and made a comeback. It must have been difficult for the Great Destruction Bodhisattva to continue to focus on the Demon Dragon Emperor and the Heaven.

The window for Lei Jun, Zhao Chanyang and others to take action is relatively limited, and they need to grasp the opportunity carefully.

"I am actually interested in what kind of magic weapon it is refining using the energy created by Taiyi," Xu Yuanzhen said.

The image of the other person's mouth corners slightly raised appeared in Lei Jun's mind.

"Big sister, do you want to play the long game and catch the big dragon?" Lei Jun asked.

Under the current conditions, they can cut off the influence of the Demon Dragon Emperor on Zhao Chanyang and stop him from having any thoughts.

But it is difficult to respond to the Demon Dragon Emperor himself.

Without Zhao Chanyang, it is difficult to judge whether the other party will fail to refine the treasure or just need more time.

The so-called "playing the long game" means making preparations secretly without alerting the enemy, so that when there is a chance later, you can give the demon sage a severe blow.

Let’s not talk about whether there is still room for improvement in their subsequent strength.

Facing such a strong enemy, is there any chance if we keep waiting?
It really does.

Not only Xu Yuanzhen, but Lei Jun also thought of it.

The moment when the nine heavens and ten earths in the world of nine heavens and ten earths become one again.

At that moment, the force that shakes the universe as a whole will be extremely powerful.

Hence the saying of fishing for dragons.

Lei Jun turned to look at Zhao Chanyang.

Zhao Chanyang, who was able to hear what Xu Yuanzhen said through Lei Jun, did not answer immediately, but concentrated on thinking.

Xu Yuanzhen continued, "It depends on what Zhao Chanyang wants."

If we don't alert the enemy and keep our troops in place for the time being, Zhao Chanyang will continue to be "sucked" by the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Fortunately, it basically does not affect his daily practice.

but……

"Although he is not in a good condition, he is a demon sage after all." Lei Junyan said: "Having a plan to give him a hard blow does not mean that the cause and effect can be completely severed. The cause and effect may be more deeply entangled."

"Unless you continue to allow the other party to do what it wants, whether it offends you slightly or more severely, it will probably come back again."

Zhao Chanyang shook his head and said, "Cause and effect must be resolved eventually. It is better to be proactive than passive."

Just like when he faced Ge Xuanzhi, although Zhao Chanyang didn't like dealing with people, he was not lacking in courage.

Lei Jun nodded, then turned to Zhang Wantong who was listening quietly at the side and said, "We need to ask Yan Zi for help beforehand."

Zhang Wantong: “Not bad.”

After everything was basically ready, Lei Jun went to Wujian together with Zhao Chanyang and Zhang Wantong and arrived at the Abyss of Time.

Wang Guiyuan, who had already received the news, looked at them speechlessly.

According to his idea, it would be better to be conservative and help Zhao Chanyang out of trouble instead of trying to dig a hole further, which might provoke the Demon Dragon Emperor, the great sage of the demon clan.

Although the other party is currently unable to be distracted because of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, if Lei Jun and others can seize this window of time to quietly complete the arrangements and then restore silence, they can avoid the other party's eyes and ears. However, in Wang Guiyuan's opinion, this is still somewhat unsafe...

Lei Jun saw no movement in the ball of light in his mind, so he and Zhao Chanyang sat cross-legged facing each other.

A black and white Tai Chi diagram appears behind one person, and Yuanshi Qingyun appears behind another person.

The two sides gradually intertwined and merged.

Zhang Wantong was writing in the air with her fingers as a pen. No ink could be seen, but there was a shining white light, as if countless mirrors were spread out, surrounding her and Lei Jun.

Enshrouded in white light, they seemed to be completely integrated into a huge and illusory book.

At this moment, time and related people and events seemed to be frozen, and no changes could be seen from the outside.

But inside, everything was moving quietly.

With the cooperation of Lei Jun and Zhao Chanyang, everything becomes one with nothingness. Various changes come one after another, yet it seems as if they do not exist at all.

In the middle of the two people, an illusory figure appeared, whose outline was very similar to Lei Jun's Taiyi Emperor body, but it was very different from the usual one.

This illusory figure, like snow melting away, quietly disappeared into thin air.

Across the Abyss of Time is the world of demons.

Xu Yuanzhen smiled as he looked at the illusory figure in front of him, which seemed to be gradually accumulating and solidifying like snow.

A mysterious door opened beside her, and after a moment she took out a robe and put it on the illusory figure.

Next, she and the figure disappeared in the world of demons.

The evil spirit is still raging, but it seems as if nothing has happened.

On this side of the great thousand world of nine heavens and ten earths, in the middle of the universe.

Lei Jun looked at Zhao Chanyang and said, "In that case, thank you for your hard work in the next few years."

Zhao Chanyang bowed to Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong and Wang Guiyuan: "No, I am sorry to bother you all. I am very grateful for your help..."

For him, the next step is to return to Kunlun and do what he should do. He should pretend to be ignorant of everything related to the world of demons and the Demon Dragon Emperor.

After Lei Jun chatted with Zhang Wantong and Wang Guiyuan about some historical events in his early years, he returned to the human world and returned to the Sanqing Sanbao Cave Heaven.

The arrangements they made together have been completed. Next, Xu Yuanzhen from the demon world will take the lead. Lei Jun and others only need to wait and see, and wait for the nine heavens and ten earths to reunite.

Although he had made some preparations, Lei Jun did not change his personal habits. He continued to concentrate on practicing, studying Taoism, and perfecting himself.

Zhao Chanyang is in a similar situation.

Fortunately, there were no new changes on his side for a relatively long period of time.

In this way, eight years passed.

Lei Jun celebrates his 141st birthday.

"Congratulations, senior brother, for taking charge of our sect for 9981 years." Chu Kun congratulated him with a strange smile.

This senior brother of mine is so good at choosing the right spots, it's hard not to admire him.

At the age of sixty, he took over the position of Heavenly Master.

Later, on his 99th birthday, he ascended to the fairyland when he had been a monk for exactly 81 years and had completed the number of 99.

Lei Jun said calmly: "Are you already impatient for the change of dynasty?"

Chu Kun sat opposite him and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I am worried about you. I encouraged him to hold the prince, but now twenty years have passed. If he gets anxious waiting, it will be bad for the master and the disciple to become alienated."

Zhuo Baojie, who was standing aside, looked at his master and uncle helplessly.

There are two people and a bear present now.

He feels most human.

Because of teaching his direct disciple An Buzheng, he has stayed at the mountain gate all these years and has not been sent out to patrol.

Zhuo Baojie himself was not in a hurry either.

Firstly, he felt that there was no need for his master to step down in a hurry.

Secondly, in the history of the Tianshi Mansion, even if the successor to the Tianshi had sufficient cultivation, he would normally still need to be trained and tempered for a long time.

Generally speaking, considering the ages of the cultivators in the three realms mentioned above, the Heavenly Masters of all generations often succeed to the throne only after they are over 200 years old and enter the platform period of their own cultivation.

People like Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun are actually a minority.

It often represents that the Tianshi Mansion was in a turbulent or even emergency period at that time.

But Lei Jun didn't want to wait that long.

After some banter, he instructed Zhuo Baojie: "After Xuwu reaches the highest level for three days and your cultivation is stable, Huajie will be officially sent out to patrol the country."

Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, Master."

After he bowed and left, Lei Jun said to Chu Kun, "Junior brother, I want to borrow your Jiuhua Kunyuan Ding to take a look."

"it's here."

They were already used to such things as sharing what they had with each other, so Chu Kun immediately took out the Jiuhua Kunyuan Ding.

The cauldron was suspended in the air between the two of them.

Lei Jun stared at the magic weapon quietly.

After a while, light and shadow magic power condensed beside him, and gradually revealed the image of a deity. However, unlike the true body of Thunder Emperor and the true body of Taiyi Emperor in the past, this time the deity looked like a woman.
