Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 456: The True Spirit is Perfect and the Yang Spirit is Clear, Entering the Clouds and Finding the Bright Moon

"The Taoist of Shangyang Speaks of the Wonderful Classic of the Great and True Dharma of the Great Cavern".

It can also be called "The True Scripture of the Great Dao of the Most High and the True Meaning as Spoken by the Taoist Master Shangyang".

The so-called true scriptures must at least be able to enter the upper three realms. They are the methods of great masters with high achievements and the true Lord of the Tao.

The fundamental skill is what was said and passed down by the Taoist Master Chunyang, which is to avoid the three disasters and five calamities in order to attain the immortality of Chunyang.

However, this wonderful scripture of Shangyang Taoist is far superior to the methods of Zhenjun and even better than the achievements of Daojun. It is a volume that records the wonderful methods and profound achievements of Shangyang Taoist, and was passed down by the sage Zhenyang, who is in the realm of Taoism.

It looks like a thin book, only about ten pages.

But each page is written with cloud-patterned golden seal characters, which are the authentic high-level talisman texts of Xuanmen Taoism. How many meanings can be contained in one golden seal character?
These mere thirteen pages appear to contain only a thousand three hundred words, but when the true meaning is analyzed, it is more than three million words.

In the Xuanqing Heavenly Palace, Shangyang Taoist was still teaching the Mahayana Dharma.

After explaining the Mahayana Dharma, in the last year, Shangyang Daojun will explain the Pure Yang Dharma.

This is a great opportunity for all those who aspire to enter the realm of Chunyang with great powers and high-level skills, and for those who are the geniuses.

But Jiang Sheng no longer needs these.

Leisurely leaving the Nine Heavens Palace and returning to Little Penglai, Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged in the Cloud Palace and opened "The True Scripture of the Great Dao of the Supreme Cave by the Taoist Master Shangyang" and started reading from the title page:

"I am Shangyang, a true disciple of Penglai for three generations. I practice the Great Sun Sutra and learn the Yin and Moon Methods. By combining the sun and the moon with Yin and Yang, I can see the wonders of the mysterious world."

"The way of Dongxuan is the method of pure yang, but Dongxuan is not the ultimate of Taiyi."

"The lower level of Taiyi is called the hole of emptiness, or breaking the emptiness. It lifts the body and flies up, and the body, spirit and body are floating."

"The middle stage of Taiyi is called the Dongshen. The body, spirit and intention are in harmony. The Tao can be seen and approached."

"The highest level of Taiyi is called Dongxuan, which means seeing the Tao, approaching the Tao and entering the Tao. It is also called seeing the nature and the truth, peeping into the origin and returning to me."

“But I secretly believe that there is still a way above the profound and mysterious, which I call the profound and true.”

"To understand the true way, to know oneself, to cut off the evil of others, to understand the principles of heaven and earth, to understand the truth of the great way, to see the essence of the way, is called truth."

Jiang Sheng carefully looked at Shangyang Taoist's insights on the Taiyi Path. Dongxu, Dongshen, Dongxuan and Dongzhen are what Shangyang Taoist considers to be the lower, middle, upper and ultimate realms.

The ultimate of Taiyi is called Dongzhen.

The corresponding one is this wonderful book, Tai Shang Dong Zhen Xuan Jing.

Jiang Sheng looked at the title page and in a trance, he seemed to see all kinds of righteous and wonderful Dharmas.

That is the true teaching of Taoism, the orthodox method of Xuanmen, and the basis of the shortcut.

That is, the Thirty-Six True Mantras of the Tiangang Dharma.

thump~
thump~
thump~
Before anyone knew it, the sound of the bell of the Great Dao resounded throughout the three realms, and Shangyang Daoist Monarch's preaching had ended.

At this time, among the nine-layered heavens, all the great masters, true gods and star gods looked either happy or contented. They all thanked Shangyang Daojun and left Xuanqing Heavenly Palace.

All of a sudden, countless stars were shining brightly in the sky, and the big stars shone brightly, and then scattered in all directions.

Countless True Lords’ Dharma chariots emerged one after another from the four heavenly gates.

Jiang Sheng was not paying attention to any of this. He was completely immersed in the scriptures, practicing the Tiangang Orthodox Method that could only be performed by an immortal who had attained the Tao.

For a moment, Jiang Sheng was immersed in the mystery and couldn't extricate himself.

However, between heaven and earth, a large number of living beings could no longer hold back and began to break through during the last seventy years when the Three Realms were still unstable.

The first ones to break through were the creatures in the middle and lower six realms. A large number of creatures in the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm succeeded in breaking through after hearing the wonderful Dharma of the Taoist Master.

Afterwards, great masters of the upper three realms began to break through one after another.

For those beings in the upper three realms who have been stuck in their current realm for thousands of years, this precious time to break through is limited.

During these seventy years, it is not uncommon to see people going from the early stage of refining the void to the late stage of refining the void, and even breaking through to the realm of fusion in the late stage of refining the void, and breaking through to the realm of Mahayana through fusion.

Normally, it would take thousands of years for a True Lord to successfully break through to the realm. However, in the past seventy years, more beings in the upper three realms have succeeded in breaking through than in the ordinary ten thousand years combined.

Above the sky, various strange phenomena have never ceased to occur for nearly seventy years, with some occurring almost every year.

This kind of thing can only be seen in this new world after the three realms merged after experiencing a catastrophe that lasted for ten thousand years.

The contribution of Shangyang Daojun in spreading the teachings this time can be said to be immeasurable.

Faced with the endless breakthroughs from all sides, and even a large number of creatures in the middle and lower six realms reaching the Dharmakāya level, Jiang Sheng didn't care at all.

The clone was busy in the underworld accumulating merits for him and nurturing the positive results. Jiang Sheng himself was also not idle. Seeing that more than half of the hundred years had passed, Jiang Sheng also began to prepare the things to break through the realm and refine the void.

"The Jade Dragon Gold Plate, the Delicate Turtle Shell, the Broken Moon and Stars Gourd, and the Five-Coin Magic Sword. The magic weapons on hand should be enough to overcome the calamity."

"The Qingping Sword, the Zhu Lu Xian Jue Sword, and the other four swords must not be discarded. As for the other items, they can all be discarded."

"Come to think of it, there is one thing I haven't taken yet."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng called Tian Mingan.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

"Tianhe Dao Sect promised me something in the past. You go to Tianhe Dao Sect on my behalf and bring that thing back."

Tian Mingan took Jiang Sheng's seal and rode a crane to leave Xiao Penglai and head to Tianhe Taoist Sect.

Cranes are extremely fast and can travel tens of millions of miles in a day. Even so, it still takes several months to travel from Xiao Penglai in the South China Sea to Tianhe Dao Sect.

When he arrived at Tianhe Taoist Sect, Tian Ming'an told Ning Chuan, the Mingdong Zhenren who received him, what Jiang Sheng said.

At this time, Ning Chuan had already reached the realm of Heavenly Dao Yuanshen, and was the most important person in charge of Tianhe Dao Sect of this generation.

Since the eldest senior brother Mingxian is not in this world, Ningchuan is the leader of this generation of Tianhe Dao Sect.

Maybe Ning Chuan's cultivation is not the highest, but his temperament is the most stable. He has been working for the sect all these years without any mistakes, so he is naturally valued by the True Lords of Tianhe Dao Sect.

Hearing Tian Mingan's frank words, Ning Chuan smiled and said, "It turns out that the item has been kept in the sect, waiting for Brother Lingyuan to come and take it."

"I thought Brother Lingyuan would take some time to come, but now it seems that Brother Lingyuan is about to break through to the realm of refining emptiness."

"Good, good, just wait."

As he was speaking, Ning Chuan left and came back with a jade box a moment later.

"Give this jade box to Brother Lingyuan, he will understand."

"Boy understands."

Tian Mingan carefully put away the jade box and returned to Xiao Penglai.

Looking at Tian Mingan riding a crane and leaving, Ning Chuan couldn't help but sigh: "Who said Ling Yuan has been inactive these days? Another famous True Lord figure is about to appear in the Three Realms."

After Tian Mingan returned to Xiao Penglai and handed the jade box to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng dismissed his disciples and servants and took out a crystal the size of a fingernail from the jade box.

This crystal is filled with gray, floc-like mist, which means it is a crystal of heaven and earth taken from a world that is about to be destroyed.

And its function is to serve as a beacon to guide that world.

After putting away the Taoist mark, Jiang Sheng slowly closed his eyes and continued to practice. "Master Lingyuan's Wonderful Method of Yin-Yang Tribulation and Three Transformations of Five Elements" was slowly running, and before he knew it, Jiang Sheng's Yang Shen had gradually filled up.

The true spirit hidden in the body had already ignited a raging true fire, and the yang energy filled the true spirit, allowing the original yin spirit to transform into a yang spirit and continue to move towards a more full and complete state.

As time goes by, more and more people break through in the Three Realms.

After Fahui and Ye Wenshu, another Bodhi disciple in the Dalingyin Temple broke through the realm of refining emptiness and attained Bodhi. Li Shubai, Lin Renxian and others were also promoted to Qingchi gods by the Jinque Emperor.

However, in the Mountain and River Realm, neither Xuanyi of the Qinghua Taoist Sect, Lingwei of the Penglai Taoist Sect, nor Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong of the Demon King Palace showed any signs of a breakthrough.

However, among the true disciples of the previous generation, several of the Ming generation masters of the Qinghua Taoist Sect, the Cheng generation masters of the Tianhe Taoist Sect and the Dao generation masters of the Penglai Taoist Sect succeeded in breaking through the realm of refining emptiness.

After all, the true teachings of the Xuanmen in the Shanhe Realm have only been around for about seven or eight hundred years, so the foundation is still a little lacking in comparison.

However, the real people of the previous generation, such as Taoist Ming, Taoist Daoyan, Taoist Chenghe, and Taoist Mingxing, already had sufficient foundation and were just waiting for an opportunity.

Now is the right time to break through.

After all, if we don't seize the opportunity to break through now when the world is unstable and the rules are incomplete, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to break through easily like now when the three realms stabilize in the future.

More than half a hundred years have passed, and seeing that the day of stability in the Three Realms is getting closer, the geniuses of this generation in the Mountain and River Realm can finally sit still no longer.

First, Xuanyi successfully broke through the realm of refining emptiness at the age of 800 and achieved the realm of Taiyi Dongxuan.

Later, Kong Zhen got help from his ancestor Kong Xuan, the Great Sage of the Five Elements, and successfully broke through the realm of refining emptiness and became the Demon King.

In comparison, the Tianhe Taoist Sect currently has the will but not the strength, while the Penglai Taoist Sect's Lingwei still lacks some foundation. For a while, many people asked about Jiang Sheng's whereabouts.

After all, Lingwei, who has a relatively gentle temperament and no "great achievements", is the representative figure of this generation of Penglai Taoist Sect in the eyes of everyone.

The reputation of Penglai Lingyuan spread throughout the three realms. How come the man who once subdued the geniuses of the three realms with a single sword and was tacitly regarded as the contemporary leader of the three realms has disappeared now?

And then, another news came out: Jiang Sheng was expelled from Xuanqing Palace when Shangyang Daojun was lecturing on the Mahayana Dharma.

This news has been confirmed by many parties. There is no doubt that in the eyes of many people, although Jiang Sheng can break through the realm of refining emptiness and even merge, he is afraid that he has no chance of reaching the realm of Mahayana.

For a moment, many people sighed, and many people were thankful.

The land in the southern region is trapped in the empty mountain.

Luo Tianze, the former son of disaster in the Southern Continent, could hardly hide his excitement when he heard the news that Master Puhua had received.

It can be said that Luo Tianze was also unlucky. As the son of disaster, he was involved in the battle between the two holy places in the Mountain and River Realm, and was used as a pawn by Taoist Yue Heng. The son of disaster who was born for the destiny and the proud genius was chased away in the end and had no way to go to heaven or to the earth. It was not until Sun Xing, the True Lord Fantian, responded to the disaster that he finally hid in the Xiankong Mountain.

However, Zhenren Puhua had better luck than Luo Tianze. After all, he had accumulated some merits. Even though he was implicated by Luo Tianze, the remaining merits still allowed him to enter Xuanqing Palace to listen to Shangyang Taoist's lectures.

Among the side sect cultivators who broke through to the realm of emptiness this time, there was Master Puhua.

Today, Puhua Zhenren can be respected as Puhua Zhenjun.

"Master, does that mean Jiang Sheng really have no chance of becoming a Mahayana?"

Seeing Luo Tianze so excited, Master Puhua sighed, "Even if he has no chance of becoming a great master, he will have no problem becoming a master of the Void Refining or even the Body Merging Realm in the future. Ze'er, why are you so entangled in this?"

"In the great calamity, everyone is for themselves. Now that the calamity has passed, why bother to stir up trouble again?"

Luo Tianze shook his head: "I am not obsessed with this, but An Ran, Brother Gu, and Brother Su all died at the hands of Jiang Sheng, how can I forget?"

"I am naturally powerless to seek revenge on him, but Jiang Sheng has been so powerful and arrogant over the years. How many people has he offended?"

"If someone else seeks revenge in the future, I will take a look and it will always work."

When these words came out of Luo Tianze's mouth, True Lord Puhua couldn't help but nodded.

Yes, Jiang Sheng has been too glorious in these years and has offended many people. I wonder how many people are hoping that the seal holder of Penglai Taoist Sect will suffer misfortune.

The news that Jiang Sheng was asked to leave Xuanqing Palace spread to the three realms. It was inevitable that someone with ulterior motives was fanning the flames.

However, Jiang Sheng, who was in seclusion in Little Penglai, was unaware of this news.

Even if he knew, Jiang Sheng would not pay too much attention to it.

Why should we let others talk about our own affairs?

If you can't wait to announce your own plans or even boast about your achievements and future path just because others say a few words, you are a fool.

The highest virtue of a gentleman is like water, which does not contend with others in order to keep its mind upright.

As time went by, when less than five years were left to the hundred years, Jiang Sheng finally slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the light behind Jiang Sheng's head had become clear and complete, with a little green rainbow hanging on it, which was the transformation of Jiang Sheng's Taoist fruit.

squeak~
As the gate of the Yun Palace was reopened after more than thirty years, Tian Mingan and Qiu Buyu hurried in.

"Master."

Jiang Sheng nodded slowly: "Has there been any major events outside in these years?"

Tian Mingan and Qiu Buyu immediately told Jiang Sheng what had happened in the three realms over the years.

Including Xuanyi and Kong Zhen who broke through the realm of refining emptiness, as well as the true masters of the previous generation who successfully broke through, and many true masters from side doors who were fortunate enough to enter the realm of refining emptiness.

After hearing this series of news from the two disciples, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but sigh that the past hundred years of chaos had really become an era of great contention where many heroes emerged and competed for supremacy.

After saying this, Qiu Buyu felt a little conflicted again.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng said, "Just say whatever you want to say. You are my disciple, so what can't you say?"

Qiu Buyu did not hide anything after hearing this: "Master, you don't know that during the years you have been in seclusion, there have been many rumors in the Three Realms, and many of them are about you."

"Ever since people from all walks of life broke through to the realm of refining emptiness, you have been silent. It seems that many people in this world look down on you."

"They say you are arrogant and complacent, and that you have run out of ideas. Some also say that you killed too many people in the past, and that this is what you deserve."

Listening to what Qiu Buyu said, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let others talk about it."

Qiu Buyu said, "But Master, who are they, and what qualifications do they have to speak against you?"

"If you hadn't fought the other two realms alone, how could the current situation of the Mountain and River Realm have come about?"

Jiang Sheng slowly stood up, and looked at the two disciples in front of him with his eyes that were faintly shining with green light. Then he looked through the palace door behind them to the beautiful scenery of Little Penglai outside the Yun Palace.

There are waterfalls and fountains, fairy birds flying in the sky, colorful clouds and hazy rainbow clouds, creating a fairyland-like scene.

Jiang Sheng said calmly: "It's our own business, so why should we care about what others say?"

"Master has completed his cultivation and it is time for him to break through. The two of you will guard this small Penglai and wait for Master to return after completing his mission."

"If others ask, just say that the master is in seclusion and practicing."

Tian Mingan and Qiu Buyu's eyes lit up and their expressions were excited when they heard this.

At this time, the two of them had no complaints and said excitedly: "We will obey the master's orders!"

Jiang Sheng waved his hand, took a step forward, and then disappeared in Little Penglai.
