Accompanied by Jade Emperor's low shout, he was eating a peach with one hand while propping up his head with the other, his gaze fixed on the scene in the Vast Sky Realm.
However.
The scene in the Vast Sky Realm surprised him.
In the picture.
He saw Daoist Xuanqing, holding a feather duster transformed into a whip thousands of feet long, uprooting an entire mountain… He was actually using the Whip Mountain Moving Stone Technique.
"Huh… This place seems familiar?"
Jade Emperor was momentarily stunned before he saw a green-faced, fanged demon rushing out of the uprooted mountain peak.
Upon closer inspection…oh, wasn't this the Kui Wood Wolf he had sent to fulfill a catastrophe?
"So it's Bowl Mountain, no wonder it looked familiar." Jade Emperor suddenly realized.
"No, the key point is not Bowl Mountain, but why is Daoist Xuanqing using the Whip Mountain Moving Stone Technique again, altering the Earth's Qi without permission?"
Jade Emperor's mouth twitched slightly.
In his mind, he recalled the scene where he had wiped Daoist Xuanqing's butt and had Star Lord Taibai deliver the Relocation Order.
"I'll first see if this kid applied for a Relocation Order in advance. If not… I'm afraid Taibai will have to run another errand' "
Jade Emperor shook his head, secretly thinking.
Then
With a wave of his right hand, he sacrificed the 'seal' that represented authority.
"Search!"
However.
When he saw that there were actually more than a thousand Relocation Orders issued within the 'seal', and the last one had no signature…
"Over a thousand Relocation Orders… Let me see which immortal from the Ministry of Works issued them. Huh?"
Jade Emperor paused slightly, thinking he had seen it wrong.
But when he looked again and found the same result… disbelief filled his eyes.
No signature!
It wasn't issued by any immortal from the Ministry of Works, nor by any immortal from the Heavenly Court. It seemed to appear out of thin air, as if it had been generated by Heaven and Earth themselves.
"Hiss!" Jade Emperor drew a breath of cold air.
It wasn't the quantity of over a thousand Relocation Orders that surprised him, but the fact that there was no signature on these one thousand Relocation Orders.
No signature… What does this mean?
It means that these Relocation Orders were not issued by a certain immortal, but were generated by the rules of this world.
This… this was unprecedented.
"Why would Heaven and Earth generate Relocation Orders on their own?" Jade Emperor mumbled to himself, even forgetting to eat the Flat Peach in his hand.
Suddenly.
As if thinking of something.
Jade Emperor's body trembled.
He looked up at Heaven, his eyes filled with an indescribable color.
"Could it be…?"
Jade Emperor dared not continue thinking, shaking his head to cast away these unreasonable thoughts from his mind.
Crunch*
Swallowing a Flat Peach, a great joy surged through his heart, dispelling all his worries.
He relaxed his mind and resumed his reclining position, eating the Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach, while watching the Vast Sky Realm with relish.
Meanwhile, at another place.
At the border of the Wuji Kingdom.
There is a huge mountain range called Flat Top Mountain, on which there is a cave called Lotus Cave.
It was in this Lotus Cave that there were two great kings, one with golden horns and the other with silver horns.
This day.
Golden Horn Great King and Silver Horn Great King were drinking merrily with their golden cups.
"Hahaha- Good brother, life is so much cooler in the Lower Realm." Silver Horn Great King grinned.
"Indeed, we got crickets to play with and a bunch of little brothers to take care of us. This life… even the immortals wouldn't trade it."
Golden Horn Great King shook his head, his face flushed, already showing a bit of drunkenness.
As the two were chatting.
Suddenly.
Boom*
An earth-shattering tremor.
Broken rocks splattered from the cave ceiling, creating a scene as if an earth dragon had turned over, throwing the entire Lotus Cave into chaos.
"It's not good, the cave is collapsing, run!"
"Great King, the earth dragon has turned over."
A group of little demons on guard duty called out to the Golden Horn and Silver Horn Great Kings as they fled.
However.
While all the demons were frightened and panicked.
Golden Horn Great King and Silver Horn Great King, on the other hand, were filled with anger.
Slap*
"How daring, who dares to use the Whip Mountain Moving Stone Technique on me?" Golden Horn Great King roared angrily, slamming the table.
Being high-level demons that came from Douluo Palace, they naturally had the ability to see at a glance that the so-called earth dragon turning over by the little demons was nothing more than a Taoist using the Whip Mountain Moving Stone Technique.
Silver Horn Great King was also extremely angry.
Just drinking at home, someone actually wanted to destroy their house completely, it was simply outrageous!
"Brother, let's go see who it is!"
"Okay!"
The two leaped into the air, their bodies shimmering with golden light as they left the cave. Incredibly, even though they were two demons, they were using the Earth Leaping Golden Light Technique, a genuine mysterious divine power.
The two demons arrived outside.
They saw a lucky cloud floating high in the sky, thinking that the culprit must be on the cloud.
So.
The two demons flew to the side of the lucky cloud.
However.
When they saw the figure on the lucky cloud, their anger suddenly disappeared, replaced by boundless joy.
As the saying goes… there are four joys in life, and one of them is meeting old friends in a foreign land.
"Good Junior Brother!"
The two demons shouted and charged over, grabbing the arms of the figure with one on the left and one on the right, hanging like koalas on both sides.
At this moment.
Daoist Xuanqing looked at Senior Brother Jin Ling and Senior Brother Yin Ling on both sides of him, an expression of helplessness on his face.
"Withdraw!"
Rumble*
The entire Flat Top Mountain was lifted from the ground, with all the little demons shaken off of it.

Those exuding a bloody aura and having eaten humans were all killed, while those who had not eaten humans were gently carried away by a breeze and set down safely on the ground.
After completing this task.
Xuanqing slightly exerted some force with his arms, withdrawing his hands from the embrace of the two demons.
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, my two senior brothers, how have you been?"
Hehe~ We're good, we're good, just having fun here." The Golden Horn Great King grinned, scratched the back of his head, and chuckled foolishly.
"Indeed, indeed!"
The Silver Hom Great King also chimed in.
Immediately after.
Both demons spoke at the same time, "It's been a long time since we've seen our good junior brother, and we've been missing him dearly. Come, come, come, join your senior brothers in our cave mansion for drinks and conversation."
As they spoke.
The two demons grabbed Xuanqing's sleeve, Intending to take him to their cave mansion for drinks.
However…
When they turned around, they found their cave mansion was gone, and even the entire Flat Top Mountain had disappeared.
Only then did they realize.
Just now, their junior brother Xuanqing seemed to have used the Whip Mountain Moving Stone Technique, with their cave mansion as the target. "Ah… this… almost forgotten."
The Sliver Horn Great King asked suspiciously, "Junior brother, what did you use this technique for? Where did it move the entire mountain to?"
On the side,
the Golden Horn Great King was also looking at Xuanqing curiously.
Actually.
If their cave mansion had been taken away by someone else, they would have rushed over to fight for it. But if it was their own junior brother Xuanqing… well, in that case, it's fine.
"It's a long story,"
Xuanqing said leisurely, "I am about to establish a Daoist temple, but the Black Wind location is remote and the mountain small, so I thought…"
He then repeated the words he had said to Kui Wood Wolf for the two demons.
Upon hearing all of this,
the two demons suddenly understood.
As for where the mountain had been moved to, they didn't continue to ask.
Instead, they enthusiastically asked:
"Good junior brother, now that you've moved Flat Top Mountain away, we don't have a place to go. Can we go to your Black Wind Mountain and have some fun? It just so happens that we can attend the ceremony of your temple's establishment?"
Having said that,
they looked at their good junior brother, their eyes filled with expectation.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked up and down at his two good senior brothers.
From the strong aura of calamity on them, he knew these two were surely surrounded by calamity, waiting for the Journey team to pass by here, and then lose their sanity to eat Tang Monk's flesh.
"My two senior brothers, have you thought this through? My place isn't a good one to go to!" Xuanqing said gloomily.
The two demons hesitated.
"How do you mean?"
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow, and jokingly said, "You must have sneaked into the lower realm, right?"
'Uh… hehe, hehe- " The two demons laughed sheepishly, too embarrassed to answer.
"Since you sneaked into the lower realm, how dare you go to my Black Wind?" "You should know that the whole Three Realms will be paying attention to the establishment of my Daoist temple. The great powers of the Three Realms will be present, and the gods of the Heavenly Court will come to congratulate." As the words reached this point, he paused.
Xuanqing pointed to the sky, "By then… if your whereabouts are exposed, my two senior brothers, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid our Ancestor Master's scolding!"
"Hiss-"
The Golden Horn Great King and the Silver Horn Great King exchanged glances, then took a sharp breath, as if they had already anticipated their fate.
"Junior brother, our relationship is so close, you… you must not betray us."
"Yes… yes, good junior brother, just don't let the old man know."
The two demons looked nervous, glancing around and whispering, as if afraid of being overheard.
At this scene,
Xuanqing almost burst into laughter. He steadied himself, flicked his whisk, and asked in jest, "Alright, my two senior brothers have been good to me, how could I betray you?"
"But… are you still going to that Black Wind place or not?"
"No, we won't even go if we're killed."
"I won't go either."
Golden Hom Great King and Silver Hom Great King shook their heads repeatedly, as if Black Wind Mountain was a hellish abyss that would devour people.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.
His two senior brothers already had extremely dense calamity qi surrounding them, and the best way to deal with this situation was to simply face the tribulation honestly.
Moreover.
For ordinary cultivators, the calamity qi filled with thousands of disasters is terrifying, but for Golden Ling and Yin Ling, who are the children of the Ancestor Master…
Well, how to put it… It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they win just by lying down. They don't need to do anything, as long as they honestly follow the script, they will win in the end.
This… is the advantage of having a background.
Those without a background, once they enter the tribulation, either become mounts or are taken to guard the door. The worst fate would be getting killed by the Monkey King with one swing of his staff.
For example, among the eighty-one hardships, there are the python essence, white bone essence, leopard essence, and others. Without a background or support, and being entangled in the calamity qi, if they don't die… who will die? Therefore!
For Child Jin Ling and Child Yin Ling, just waiting on the spot for the scripturefetching team to arrive and earning their merits by lying down was the right path.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing waved his right hand and took out two Ginseng Fruits from the Game Backpack, "Two senior brothers, I accidentally moved your cave house. I am ashamed and offer you these Ginseng Fruits as an apology. I hope you won't despise them."
Ginseng Fruit?
The two demons' eyes lit up.
"We won't despise it! Such a good thing, even eating one is better than becoming an immortal, how could we possibly despise it?"
They didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the fruit from Xuanqing's hands. They took a bite and swallowed it after only a few chews.
Gulp-
"Ah, refreshing!"
In an instant,
A huge wave of pleasure swept over the Golden Hom Great King and Silver Horn Great King's hearts.
Especially in the state of being entangled with calamity qi, this pleasure… was magnified several times.
"Ah~"
The two demons couldn't help but let out a soft moan, then lay down in place closed their eyes, and showed a face full of enjoyment. They couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Seeing this scene,
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled and shook his head, cupping his hands and said, "Senior brothers, enjoy yourselves. I have some matters to attend to, I will come to play with you all after I finish!"
"Hm…"
The two demons were still Intoxicated in the pleasure and their minds were still in a daze, so they didn't respond, just waved their hands.
After leaving Flat Top Mountain, he continued his journey to the west and moved hundreds of mountains along the way.
In this manner,
Xuanqing's game backpack now contained nearly a thousand mountain peaks, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal of moving mountains. Crossing the border and entering Wuji Kingdom,
After an unknown amount of time, he came to a towering mountain peak. Unlike before, this peak was lush and green, with tall trees everywhere, as if he had entered the Amazon jungle in the real world.
Xuanqing measured it with his eyes.
It must be at least two thousand zhang high, much broader than the Flat Top Mountain he had encountered before.
"As long as I move this mountain, I should be able to elevate Black Wind Mountain to twenty thousand meters. When establishing a Taoist temple at that time, it shouldn't be too shameful."
Thinking this,
Xuanqing flicked the duster in his hand.
"Whip Mountain Move Stone."
The tail of the duster turned into a whip tens of thousands of zhang long and encircled the entire base of the mountain, binding it up.
Rumble-
There was a huge noise that echoed throughout the entire area, affecting tens of thousands of kilometers.
A short old man emerged from the ground, and when he saw his territory being lifted up entirely, his soul almost escaped from his body.
"Heavens, sir, sir, please retract your divine power." The Earth Deity knelt on the ground and begged with tears in his eyes.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing didn't waste any words. With another wave of his right hand, he shot a thick stream of faith into the crying Earth Deity, almost equal to a million Ingots' worth.
"Uh…"
The Earth Deity was stunned, with tears still on his face and not yet wiped away.
When he snapped out of it, he burst into wild joy, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the 'enormous' incense into his stomach.
Thump-
The Earth Deity knelt on the ground,
"Sir, you are my savior! Dare I ask what you are doing here moving the mountain? Is there anything I can help you with?"
You can't blame the Earth Deity for his drastic change in attitude… Ah, there's no helping it, the amount given was just too much.

"There's nothing to worry about, stand over there. After I move the mountain, you can head south to find Black Wind Country, where my Taoist temple is located."
Faced with this scenery…
Xuanqing is as practiced as if he was repeating a speech he'd given numerous times to the Earth Deity.
Upon hearing this…
The Earth Deity was greatly shocked and hastened to ask, "My god'You… You are the legendary… Daoist Xuanqing?"
"Oh?"
Xuanqing looked puzzled.
A legend…he truly had no idea what legends about him were circulating in the Three Realms.
"Tell me about this, what rumor is spread about me?" Xuanqing playfully asked, raising an eyebrow.
The Earth Deity perked up and began to explain without a break: "It is said that there is a Daoist Xuanqing in the Three Realms, incredibly wealthy. Consuming Ginseng Fruits as if they were insignificant, eating one and discarding another…"
"Moreover, according to the rumor, this Daoist Xuanqing has vast divine powers. He can turn a common white snake into a dragon, and his social connections…"
"Therefore, cultivators in the Three Realms privately gave him a nickname… saying: the Ginseng Fruit Taoist. Those who show more respect even add a title, saying: the Miraculous Ginseng Fruit Taoist."
After listening to the other party's words…
A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Xuanqing's mouth.
"The Miraculous Ginseng Fruit Taoist?"
What a haphazard nickname! And the rumor is absolutely exaggerated. What does it mean to eat one and throw one away? Although he doesn't lack Ginseng Fruits, he wouldn't waste them in such a way.
"Alright, I have urgent matters to deal with, you can leave first!" Xuanqing shook his head and waved at the Earth Deity.
"Yes!"
The Earth Deity bowed and prepared to leave.
Just at that moment…
"No one is going anywhere."
A tender and scolding voice came from the distance.
A child about three feet tall, wearing a red bellyband, with a short topknot, was riding on a red lucky cloud, speeding toward them. This child is known as the Red Boy.
Upon his arrival, the Red Boy, with a face full of anger, scolded the Earth Deity:
"You little deity, just a few days ago, you submitted to me, and now you pledged allegiance to a new lord. Are you aspiring to be disloyal like General Lv from the three-surnamed household?"
After scolding the Earth Deity, he turned to Xuanqing and gave him a fierce glare.
"Wait! You, a Taoist, dared to ruin my cave mansion. Today I will flay you and pull out your sinews, and make you into a soup to drink with my wine for three days and three nights!"
As soon as these words came out…
The Earth Deity carefully glanced at Sir, whom he had just pledged allegiance to. Noting that Sir didn't have any intention to speak, he stepped forward. "Hmph! You cannibalistic beast, I tolerated you before I found a wise lord, but now that Sir is here, how dare you continue to be presumptuous?" The Earth Deity reprimanded.
"Wow- You're pushing me too far."
These words infuriated Red Boy beyond words. He never expected that the once submissive little deity would now dare to call him a beast.
"If you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!" The Red Boy's face turned pale with rage. Unable to hold back any longer, he opened his mouth and used his ultimate skill…
"Samadhi True Fire!"
Boom~
With the outbreak of the fire, the heaven and earth within dozens of miles trembled. A scorching heat that seemed capable of burning the world surged towards them.
"Oh no- " The Earth Deity's expression turned to horror, and he quickly took shelter behind Sir.
However…
Faced with the imposing Samadhi True Fire…
Xuanqing looked calm, merely wielding the duster in his hand lightly.
"Disperse!"
The power of Fire Qi Chao Yuan, coupled with the duster which was almost at the chaotic treasure level, and furthermore, the immense Human Path Destiny.
The insignificant Samadhi True Fire, under such overpowering force, was as feeble as a firefly challenging the moonlight.
Just at the first contact…
Accompanied by a 'pop' sound, it deflated like a punctured ball, disintegrating on the spot.
Immediately after…
The Fire Qi imbued with Human Path Destiny… after extinguishing the Samadhi True Fire, its residual force surged towards Red Boy.
The next moment…
A cry of horror sounded.
"Ah…don't come over." Red Boy looked terrified.
When this Fire Qi washed over him, his entire body was almost cooked through.
The severe pain spread through his physical body.
What's worse…
The Human Path Destiny contained in the Fire Qi not only affected his physical pain, the bizarre force of destiny, like maggots on bones, infected his God Soul. Corruption, filth, weirdness, myriad thoughts of mortals.
All sorts of negative things made Red Boy feel like he had become a mortal, facing endless reincarnation and torment in the hustle and bustle of mundane life.
"Huh-"
Red Boy was breathing heavily, sweat dripping off his forehead freely.
His gaze towards Xuanqing was no longer arrogant, and only fear that could never be forgotten remained.
"You.. I… I won't hold you accountable for moving the mountain. You can leave, I have things to do… Goodbye forever."
Red Boy's face turned pale, his speech stumbled, and for a moment his logical thinking was off.
At this moment…
After testing his power…
Xuanqing silently nodded.
"It appears… after consolidating Five Qi Chaoyuan and pairing it with Human Path Destiny, it can unleash greater power when combined."
Then…
His gaze fell on Red Boy who was slumped on the ground, looking at him as if he were a dead man.
For Xuanqing…
There has always been a belief in life that is… those who provoke me, if they're not cannibalistic, I'll disable their limbs, if they are cannibalistic… I will reincarnate them."
Clearly…

Translator: 549690339
This Red Child's body was filled with an extremely dense bloodthirsty aura, and he constantly spoke of… eating people to accompany his drinks. Naturally, he should be sent to reincarnate.
"Little evil beast, in your next life, don't eat people!"
Xuanqing said lightly.
"Don't kill me…my father is the Bull Demon…." The Red Child screamed in terror, shouting anxiously.
Nevertheless.
His words hadn't finished yet.
The terrifying Taoist waved his duster again, as if turning it into countless thin swords, and slashed towards himself.
The eerie and domineering aura was suffocating.
"It's over!"
Red Child's body shuddered, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Images of his short life began to play in his mind, such as when he was a child, practicing diligently under his mother's control.
At some later point, after his parents argued and he became a child nobody cared for, his natural talents combined with his identity resulted in his gradually becoming an… arrogant and overbearing being.
By chance, after witnessing his father eating humans, he too developed a taste for it. Every time his mother tried to stop him from eating people, he would use his father as an excuse and even secretly eat people with him.
Scenes from his childhood fluttered through his mind like a slideshow.
It is said that beings will remember their entire lives when they are on the brink of death…Is it the same for him?
So, he was just an ordinary being after all. Before he died, he too would look back at his life.
"Daoist Xuanqing, you have already committed a great sin by moving the mountain without cause. The poor monk advises you to surrender and accept the judgment of the Buddha in the Western Heaven!"
Just as Red Child's thoughts were racing, and he was experiencing the sensation of 'death'.
A holy and benevolent voice entered his ears.
"Huh?"
Red Child opened his eyes and instinctively looked towards the source of the voice.
He saw a woman standing on a lotus platform, dressed in a white silk gown, holding a sheep-fat jade cleansing bottle in her hand, and with a sacred aura around her.
Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Red Child rejoiced, thinking that he was saved now, and immediately transformed into a red light, hiding behind Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Bodhisattva, save me!"
Guanyin didn't pay attention to the Red Child behind her, but just looked at Daoist Xuanqing with a cold gaze.
"Ah, Bodhisattva, how could you still be haunting me!" Xuanqing sighed, but had already mobilized the Chaoyuan Qi in his body.
Seeing this.
"It seems that after so long, my young friend's cultivation has greatly advanced. Are you trying to… fight the poor monk?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly.
With her cultivation, she could naturally see that Daoist Xuanqing had gathered the Five Qi Chaoyuan and could cultivate the Yin-Yang Realms at any time.
Against Guanyin's sarcasm.
Xuanqing sneered, waving his whisk violently.
"Enough talk, just give it a try!"
The numerous whisk tails flew through the sky, each one carrying the Human Way Fate Power, their might being a hundred times stronger than what it was before when he was attacking the Red Child.
This scene.
Left Red Child, hidden behind Guanyin, dumbstruck, and fearful. He didn't expect that he would provoke such a character.
"Showing off your petty skills in front of the poor monk is nothing but a display of axe-grinding skill in front of Lu Ban." Guanyin chuckled lightly, not taking it seriously.
In fact, she didn't even use the willow branches from her jade cleansing bottle.
She simply waved her jade-like arms, and a powerful and pure Buddha Power surged, forming a golden lotus, which acted as a barrier…protecting both herself and Red Child.
It's worth mentioning.
The golden lotus shield also emitted a strange fluctuation, faintly similar to the Human Path Destiny imparted by Xuanqing, but though its quality was not as high as the Human Path Destiny, it was several times greater in quantity.
Clang~
Clang, clang~
The countless whisk tails, like billions of sharp swords, bombarded the golden lotus surrounding Guanyin, the clashes producing waves powerful enough to flick any ordinary immortal to death.
However, just the power of the whisk itself wasn't enough to break Guanyin's casually cast golden lotus.
Even.
The domineering and eerie Human Path Destiny was neutralized by the special energy within the golden lotus, which was lower in quality but several times greater in quantity.
"Hehe~ Your power of the Human Emperor is quite mysterious, even stronger than the poor monk's Sentient Beings' Thoughts."
Guanyin showed a hint of appreciation, even though the whisk imbued with Human Path Destiny didn't manage to break the golden lotus. But she could sense the power within it from the collision between the two energies.
Even in terms of quality, it was stronger than the Sentient Beings' Thoughts she had cultivated for many years.
If it wasn't for the fact that her Sentient Beings' Thoughts far outnumbered her opponent's, the outcome might not be so clear.
"If you have any tricks left, go ahead…" Guanyin said with a faint smile, showing a slight interest.
She was curious to see what kind of skills Daoist Xuanqing had learned in such a short amount of time that he dared to confront her.
However,
Before her words could even fade, she found that Daoist Xuanqing's face showed a hint of a strange smile.
Something's not right!
Guanyin's brow furrowed slightly, and just as she was about to take action,
Suddenly,
A tiny red dot, the size of a grain, quietly emerged around the golden lotus, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
"Bang'"
Xuanqing's mouth curled slightly, softly spitting out a word.
And in his hand, there was now a small square box. It turned out that he had taken the Luck Jade Seal out of her body without her realizing it and had used a secret technique from the Dragon Control Technique.
Red-colored
ZZZZZ-…
The sound of a saw tearing through wood emerged.
From the surface, it seemed that the power was not impressive, but the even more magnificent Human Path Destiny instantly tore apart the golden lotus' sentient beings' thoughts.
Without the sentient beings' thoughts, the golden lotus became merely a Buddha power condensed from Guanyin's random attacks. How could it withstand the overbearing and strange Human Path Destiny?
Puff~*
Like a dream bubble, it shattered at the slightest touch!
Not only that,
The remaining Human Path Destiny power, like a shark that had smelled blood, crazily surged toward Guanyin's body.
"Not good!"
Guanyin's face changed, and she immediately mobilized the pure Buddha power in her body, trying to expel the Human Path Destiny that had entered her body.
However,
The moment the Human Path Destiny entered her body, it penetrated the obstruction of the Buddha power like maggots clinging to bones and instantly merged into her True Spirit.
When it reached her God Soul, it didn't stop but directly entered the True Spirit. The power of fate was so overbearing.
"Hoo~"
Guanyin's face turned cold, and she took a deep breath.
This moment,
The look she gave Xuanqing no longer had the initial contempt. No matter whether he took advantage of her negligence, he indeed had hurt her.
"Good, very good, a well-deserving Daoist Xuanqing!"
Guanyin said, word by word.
With no more reservations, her body's immense Buddha power roiled.
The next moment,
Countless jade arms appeared behind her, each emitting a divine and compassionate aura, as if capable of purifying all the demons in the world.
"Thousand Hands Seal!"
Thousands of Guanyin's jade arms emitted dazzling lights, forming numerous swastikas, arranged in a unique combination to seal within.
It was the Sealing Technique.
Of course,
Guanyin didn't intend to seal her opponent indefinitely, but planned to capture Xuanqing and take him to Lingxiao Bao Hall for the Jade Emperor to punish him for the crime of moving mountains.
Although it was impossible to send him to jail just for moving mountains, she had to at least slap him in the face harshly.
Only this way, she could vent her anger.
"Sealing Technique?"
Xuanqing was somewhat baffled.
Then,
Without any hesitation, he used his most powerful trump card, which he had relied on to survive in this world.
Self-destruction!
Physical self-destruction… God Soul self-destruction!!!
Regarding the physical body, it was the Chaos Morality Holy Body; in terms of cultivation, it was the convergence of Five Qi Chaoyuan.
What kind of power would self-destruction have under such circumstances?
No one in the entire Three Realms might know the answer to this question because no cultivator of this level had ever self-destructed.
Fortunately… Guanyin Bodhisattva would soon find out.
Ommin-
After Xuanqing's self-destruction, there was no huge explosion as imagined, but instead, a mysterious fluctuation appeared.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 327: Chapter 276: Death of Tao, The Three Realms Tremble!
Translator: 549690339
Although the fluctuation wasn't significant.
But.
Guanyin's face changed drastically.
"Not good, the space is collapsing!"
She never expected that in the face of the sealing technique, the opponent would be so unyielding and directly use self-destruction.
At this moment.
The originally insignificant fluctuation instantly distorted the entire space, with countless pitch-black cracks emerging.
Space cracks are not a big deal, many powerful beings use space cracks for travel, and even Daoist Xuanqing himself had experienced it thanks to Great Immortal Zhenyuan's help.
But space collapse is different.
For example, if we compare the world to a mortal body.
The former space crack is like cutting a negligible wound, which will heal in a short time. This small cause and effect can be borne as long as one's cultivation reaches a certain realm.
But the latter space collapse is akin to cutting off a large piece of flesh from the body.
In such a situation, the consequences are extremely serious, and the chaos and destruction caused by the Qi of cause and effect are incredibly terrifying.
For any living being, if the slightest bit of it is contaminated, no matter your level of cultivation, it will be a terrifying disaster as long as you have not transcended the world.
In other words, after being tainted by such Qi of cause and effect, the cause and effect of 'destroying the world' will fall on you.
Destroying the world… who can bear such an enormous cause and effect?
Even if the Tathagata Buddha himself was tainted with this cause and effect, he would not escape unscathed, let alone Guanyin.
At this moment.
Facing such terrifying Qi of cause and effect.
"Run!" In Guanyin's mind, apart from this word, she had no other thoughts.
She couldn't care less about the frightened Red Boy behind her.
She threw the sheep fat jade cleaning bottle in her hand into the air, took out the willow branches from inside, and then mercilessly smacked the sheep fat jade cleaning bottle with the branches.
Slap-
The sheep fat jade cleaning bottle shattered upon impact, and its fragments condensed into countless 'rE' characters, turning into golden rays of light that merged into the lotus platform under her feet.
"Puff!"
Guanyin's body trembled, her face turning pale, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Without caring about the backlash from sacrificing her life-saving Magic Treasure, she urged the lotus platform, which was enhanced by the sheep fat jade cleaning bottle, to forcefully tear the space apart and leave the area.
"Phew-"
Several hundred kilometers away.
Guanyin stumbled, and only just then managed to steady herself, immediately looking back at the twisted and shattered space behind her.
"That was close!"
If she hadn't decisively sacrificed the sheep fat jade cleaning bottle just now, or if her actions were just a bit slower, she would have been tainted by the immense Qi of cause and effect.
A look of relief couldn't help but appear on her face.
Soon after.
As if she had thought of something, Guanyin's brows furrowed again.
"That Daoist Xuanqing, it seemed like he detonated his own God Soul and Physical Body. In such a situation, can he still be resurrected?"
A question emerged in her heart.
She should know.
In this world, resurrection abilities similar to the Undying Body are not nonexistent, such as the Blood Sea Ancestor in the deep netherworld, or some ancient demon gods.
However, all these Undying Body abilities are based on the God Soul still existing. If they directly self-destruct their God Soul, though their True Spirit can escape into Reincarnation, their cultivation and abilities will be lost.
Honestly speaking.
Guanyin did not believe that Daoist Xuanqing would be so impulsive as to abandon his Physical Body and cultivation and enter Reincarnation to practice again.
"If he can really resurrect indefinitely, this Xuanqing Daoist… is just too…too against the odds."
"Sigh!"
Guanyin sighed deeply.
Dealing with such an illogical guy, even her, a powerful being whose cultivation surpassed the Yin-Yang Realms and reached the Quasi-sage level, still feels extremely difficult to handle.
"In just a few decades, Daoist Xuanqing has achieved so much. If another few decades or a hundred years pass, wouldn't he…"
Guanyin's expression was uncertain.
She recalled…
From the beginning, at Black Wind Mountain, fighting for her predestined guardian beast, to later destroying the Guanyin Zen Temple, and even further disrupting the Journey to the West plan and killing the Yellow Wind Monster… and finally, killing her Dispenser Boy.
"There was the Yellow Wind Monster first, and then the Red Boy. Did you lose your minds? Why did you provoke Daoist Xuanqing?"
Guanyin looked at the now completely lifeless Red Boy, whispering softly. The thought of these things made her head hurt.
She had some regrets.
If she had known that she couldn't protect Red Boy, she shouldn't have come out to meddle again.
After all.
She had finally resolved her previous conflict with Daoist Xuanqing, but now, because of the Red Boy incident, they were enemies once again.
Now the mission failed, and to make matters worse, she had brought trouble upon herself. She could only hope that Daoist Xuanqing would not be blinded by hatred and deliberately oppose her in matters concerning the Journey to the West. Otherwise… there would be big trouble.
For a moment.
Guanyin's heart was filled with countless thoughts.
But, there's a saying, isn't there?
No matter what life is like, life… must go on!
At the time when Guanyin and Jade Emperor had a conflict.
Here.
Heavenly Court.
Above the Nine Heavens, in the Golden Palace of Clouds.
The eyes of the Jade Emperor stared wide, the peach in his hand was only left with the pit, yet he was still unaware, as he stood dumbfounded in place.
The astonishment was because the scene in the Vast Sky Realm was truly astonishing, even more shocking than the previous examination of the thousands of Relocation Orders.
"This-this… This brat self-destructed…. and died?!"

Chapter 328: Chapter 276: Death of the Body, Disappearance of the Tao, Tremors in the Three Realms! _2
Translator: 549690339
Half a moment later.
The Jade Emperor's mouth was slightly open, and he could only utter this sentence.
He never imagined that Xuanqing was so unyielding in character. Just as he almost got captured by Guanyin, he directly exploded his physical body and soul.
Though he knew that the boy had an undying body and could resurrect even if his body was shattered or completely obliterated,
the key point was that now not only the body was gone, but his soul was gone too – having self-destructed at its source, which was the most severe kind.
In such a situation, no matter what creatures, even if the creator god Pangu was alive, would have been chilled to the bone.
Jade Emperor had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Immediately after that,
He stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the main hall, thinking about what kind of changes would occur in the Three Realms after Xuanqing's death.
Leaving other things aside,
Douluo Palace's Lord… having finally gained such a talented disciple, will not let Guanyin's death go unpunished.
"I'm afraid it's not just the Lord of Douluo Palace…"
The Jade Emperor frowned.
Unconsciously, the boy had already made many connections.
Apart from other factors, if Xuanqing died now at the hands of Guanyin, Longevity Mountain's Great Immortal Zhenyuan would not let it go without making a fuss.
Even the Heavenly Court wouldn't be able to keep a distance from the matter, let alone the many gods of the court that befriended Xuanqing, including the three human Heavenly Masters and the fairy queen Daoist friend Yaochi, who healed the Flat Peach Divine Tree, would step out.
Not to mention the many immortals.
Even he, the Jade Emperor himself, had eaten many of Xuanqing's nine-thousand-year flat peaches. Although the karmic ties were not significant, it still felt uneasy. Besides, Xuanqing was a heavenly immortal and a first-grade high-ranking official on the verge of expanding territories.
At this point, he, as the Jade Emperor, won't be able to ignore Xuanqing.
"Sigh-"
The Jade Emperor frowned and sighed.
Thinking of the huge impact brought about by Xuanqing's death, he could feel his brain throbbing with pain.
As the Emperor Haotian, who ruled the Three Realms, his responsibility lied in maintaining the stability of the realms, not just exercising power or enjoying privileges.
However,
Just when the Jade Emperor was at his wit's end,
There was another change in the scene reflected in the Vast Sky Realm.
"Hmm?"
The Jade Emperor turned his head to look at the scene in the Vast Sky Realm, and then became stunned.
Is..is it.. Is it possible to be alive?
With both the soul and physical body having self-destructed, and even causing a collapse in space, he could still be reborn?
"Hiss!"
The Jade Emperor was astonished.
Of course,
Besides being shocked, he felt relieved in his heart.
Since the boy was still alive, the chaos he had anticipated would not happen.
Even if there was a conflict with Guanyin, just short of a life-and-death situation, the powerful forces behind the scene would only maintain a wait-and-see attitude and let him solve it by himself.
Apart from the astonishment of the Jade Emperor in the Golden Palace of Clouds,
Across the Thirty-six Heavens,
In Douluo Palace,
An old man dressed in a Taoist robe with white whiskers, exuding natural Daoist aura, suddenly opened his eyes while he was sitting cross-legged.
"What audacity!"
Taishang Laojun's eyes filled with intense murderous intent, and the originally harmonious aura on his body disappeared, becoming violent.
Boom-
Affected by Taishang Laojun's emotional changes, the entire Thirty-six Heavenly World began to tremble as if depicting the scene of the end of the world.
It's hard to imagine that just the fluctuations of emotions could cause such commotion. If he truly took action, the entire world would tremble, and even be destroyed as a result.
However,
Just as Taishang Laojun was preparing to take action,
"Huh?"
It seemed as if he felt something. His expression suddenly became incredibly astonished, as if he had seen something incredible.
Moments later, rendered speechless,
Taishang Laojun held his forehead and couldn't help but laughingly scold,
"This stinky boy, he really is… really is…"
After sighing, he closed his eyes again, sinking into the intoxication.
It wasn't just the Heavenly Court and Douluo Palace.
This self-destructive explosion of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage caused such an uproar that it could be heard throughout the Three Realms.
Countless powerful beings turned their gazes to this place.
Those who observed earlier could even see Guanyin's escape, and they were utterly astonished.
Those who arrived later tried to deduce the course of the events by making finger gestures, but only found a mist in their deduction. Clearly, the secret had been hidden.
Let's not focus on how the Three Realms were shaken by this event.
On the other hand,
in the Real World,
inside the Taoist temple on Qingping Mountain,
Xuanqing opened his eyes and awakened from the Game.
Before he detonated his God Soul and Physical Body, he had already put his
Duster into his Game Backpack to avoid losing equipment after dying.
His cultivation had not diminished, nor had he lost anything in the process.
This was his ultimate trump card in the Primordial World.
"Guanyin dared to use the sealing technique on me, this grudge… I shall remember it," Xuanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
To be honest,
for someone like him who can resurrect infinitely, even death doesn't create much resentment.
But being sealed is different.
Once sealed, he can only forcefully exit the game, delete his account, and recreate his character.
At that time, all of his cultivation, innate talent, and the efforts he made over the past decades would vanish.
Of course,
there is another possibility: after being sealed, he waits for Ancestor Master to rescue him. However, even if he is rescued, it would be too embarrassing.
In short, whoever dares to seal Xuanqing will invite deeper hatred.
At the same time,
Xuanqing had made up his mind.
He must detonate himself without hesitation whenever he encounters a powerful figure from Shimen. There can be no doubt.
Now it's only Guanyin, and he can still react, just able to detonate himself to escape before being sealed.
But what if it's not Guanyin, but the even more powerful Tathagata Buddha, or maybe Randeng or Maitreya?
He doesn't want to end up being rescued by Ancestor Master and, even more, doesn't want to delete his account and start anew!
"Hu-"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, looked into the distance, and muttered to
himself, "In the future, I have to be more resolute!"
Afterward,
He moved his thoughts.
"Return to the city and resurrect!"
Game World.
Wuji Kingdom, Baolin City.
In a remote alley, the air suddenly began to ripple, and a young Taoist priest in Daoist Robe and cloth shoes slowly appeared.
This Taoist… happens to be Xuanqing, who chose to resurrect in the city.
By choosing to resurrect in the city, he would automatically appear in the nearest human town.
Upon resurrection,
Xuanqing immediately spread out his divine thoughts and enveloped the entire city, acquiring information about the location of his resurrection.
What he saw,
from the outside, was an ordinary city, but under his powerful divine soul, he discovered something out of the ordinary.
There was a temple in the city, and interestingly, in addition to enshrining the Buddhist statues, there was also the statue of a Dragon King.
What's even more bizarre was that beneath the Dragon King statue, there was an ancestral tablet, which read… Xuanmiao Huangjing Dragon King.
"Well Dragon King? Wuji Kingdom?"
"Wuji Kingdom… Baolin City, there's a Baolin Temple in the city…"
Xuanqing's mind stirred,
From his vast knowledge and study of countless documents, he instantly recognized the place.
Among the eighty-one hardships experienced by the Fetching the Scriptures team, one took place in the Baolin Temple of Wuji Kingdom.
In this hardship, the King of Wuji Kingdom lost his authority to the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva – the Qingmao Lion Boar Monster – who forcibly seized national luck. It wasn't until the Fetching the Scriptures team arrived that the king was rescued.
Of course,
Xuanqing saw this as merely a tactic employed by Shimen.
Firstly, they could arrange the eighty-one hardships to gain Heavenly Merit after accomplishing the mission.
Secondly, after rescuing the king, he would be immensely grateful to Shimen, thus promoting Shimen's teachings.
Thirdly, even Manjushri himself benefited greatly, as the decades of national luck from a country was not a trivial treasure.
"Hehe, you dared to seal me, now I'll start by collecting some interest from this Wuji Kingdom!" Xuanqing sneered coldly, his eyes flashing with an indescribable color.
The next moment!
He used the Earth Leaping Golden Light..

When he appeared again.
He was already standing next to an ancient well. On top of the well was a lid, and on top of that was a rock with an engraving of a rune formation that held it down.
"The corpse and soul of the king of Wuji Kingdom must be sealed within this ancient well!" Xuanqing looked at the old well, secretly thinking.
No matter which version of Journey to the West, the story in Wuji Kingdom is more or less the same, without much difference.
After the Qingmao Lion Giant killed the king, its soul was sealed in the ancient well, and a Well Dragon King was also created, using the Dragon Clan's fate to suppress the Emperor's Qi of the king of Wuji.
Only in this way could the theft of the Wuji Kingdom's fate be achieved.
With a thought.
Xuanqing took the duster out of the game backpack, and then…swung it at the stones that suppressed the ancient well.
Sizzling-
The formation engraved on the stone was struck by the whisk, and the shining runes began to fade, eventually turning the stone into an ordinary rock.
"Go!"
Xuanqing lightly flicked the stone away.
Then.
His whole body jumped into the ancient well.
After entering the well, passing through a dark path, he suddenly found
himself in a vast space.
At this moment.
Inside the ancient well.
An old dragon wearing a python robe and a dragon head, but with very weak cultivation, was listlessly asleep and daydreaming.
This old dragon…was the Well Dragon King.
Initially, it was just a small insect, but it was chosen by the Shimen to forcibly convert it into the Well Dragon King by using the power of faith.
Doing so..wasn't because they valued it, but simply because they wanted to use the Dragon Clan's fate to suppress the fate of Wuji's king.
Ever since the king of Wuji was suppressed…
The old dragon's days turned miserable. Not only was it trapped in the darkness of the well but also suffered the backlash of the dynasty's fate every day.
In this way.
The old dragon had to sleep every day to alleviate the pain inflicted by the fate's backlash.
On this day.
The commotion above the well woke him up.
"Sigh, those Shimen people, what tricks are they up to again?"
The old dragon sighed, just as he thought that it was people from the Shimen who wanted to make use of it once again.
But he saw that the person coming was…a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, with a graceful step, holding a whisk emitting a faint light!
A Taoist?
The old dragon's heart was filled with astonishment.
How could a Taoist appear in Shimen's territory, even the king of Wuji was still under the Shimen's control?
Just as it was lost in thought and pondering life.
He saw the Taoist walk towards him, passing by it directly towards the secret room in the back.
"You… you can't go in!" The old dragon came to his senses and hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Hmm?"
Xuanqing glanced at the old dragon, and his aura slightly emanated from his body.
Instantly.
The old dragon only felt a tremor in its heart, as a huge pressure fell upon it, making it seem as if it was plunging into a terrifying abyss.
"Abba- Abba"
It opened its mouth to say something, but under the massive pressure of the aura, it could only utter the words "Abba Abba."
Eventually.
It could only watch helplessly as the mysterious and powerful Taoist entered the secret chamber sealing the king of Wuji, step by step.
It was not until the figure of the Taoist completely disappeared into the secret room that the terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.
"Huh-"
The old dragon collapsed on the ground, its mind a blank.
Meanwhile.
Xuanqing entered the secret chamber.
What caught his eye was a stone bed, covered with innumerable golden runes. And lying on the stone bed was an old man wearing a dragon robe, who was the sealed king of Wuji Kingdom.
"With the three souls and seven spirits intact, all that's needed is to break the seal and infuse a trace of essence to awaken him."
Thinking thus.
"Luck Jade Seal!" Xuanqing waved his right hand, and with a low shout, he brought forth the Luck Jade Seal representing the national fate of Black Wind Country.
It was simple to revive the king of Wuji, but first, the seal on the stone bed had to be broken.
So…he planned to use the enormous luck of Black Wind Country to forcibly erase the runes on the stone bed.
"Disperse!"
Xuanqing shouted softly.
The Dynastic Qi from the Luck Jade Seal surged like a floodgate, overflowing towards the stone bed.
In an instant!
Sizzling- Sizzling
Like plastic foam encountering strong acid, the runes instantly melted.
Next.
He took a Ginseng Fruit from the game backpack.
"Meeting me is your good fortune!" Xuanqing held the Ginseng Fruit in his hand and muttered softly, guiding the essence of the Ginseng Fruit onto the body of the king of Wuji.
In a short while.
Mmm…" The king of Wuji slowly woke up, sat up in a daze, and looked around blankly.
When he came to his senses, only then did he see Xuanqing standing beside him, and he couldn't help but hold his head and ask uncertainly:
"This…Daoist Priest, who are you?"
After the king of Wuji had finished speaking, he looked around in a daze and muttered to himself, "What is this place? Why am I here?"
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, Your Majesty, you were framed by Shimen, and it was I who saved you!"
Xuanqing faintly smiled, then whispered, "Your Majesty, from now on, follow me… to watch a good show."
"Framed by Shimen… a good show?"
The king of Wuji's confusion deepened, as his memory was still before he fell unconscious and knew nothing.
However.
Before the king of Wuji could ask any further questions.
Xuanqing swung the whisk in his hand, and the dust on it transformed into countless fine threads, wrapping around the king of Wuji!
Earth Leaping Golden Light!
When he appeared again.
He had already arrived in a magnificent golden hall..

Translator: 549690339
Wuji Kingdom Palace, Morning Meeting Hall!
Inside the palace's main hall.
On the golden Dragon Throne.
The Qingmao Lion Giant sat upright, gazing at the ministers below, as if he was inspecting a group of ants.
Indeed, it was just like that.
Since becoming the king of Wuji Kingdom, as a demon, he naturally would not serve ministers or care for the people; all he needed to do was complete the task assigned to him by his master.
"Declare your issues, or leave the court!" A eunuch called out in a rising and falling tone.
Below.
The ministers remained silent, their eyes fixed and their hearts focused.
The reason for this was that those who did not remain silent had been killed by the Lion Boar Monster. He was here to steal Wuji Kingdom's national luck, not to help it develop.
Just when everyone thought this court meeting would be like the previous ones…
Suddenly.
Space inside the main hall fluctuated slightly.
Two streaks of golden light, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, arrived in the main hall and eventually transformed into two figures.
Without a doubt, these two figures were Daoist Xuanqing, who had rushed from Baolin Temple, and the true king of Wuji Kingdom.
???
This sudden scene.
Left all the ministers dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, their pupils suddenly constricting as they looked at the two sudden appearances in the main hall.
Especially since… one of the figures was wearing the Dragon Robe, and… looked so similar to their Majesty, it was indistinguishable!
Indistinguishable?
How could there be two Majesties in this world?
"This…"
Using their peripheral vision, the ministers looked at the Majesty on the high platform and then at the Majesty who suddenly appeared.
Atop the high platform.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Lion Boar Monster.
Gulp-
It stared at the figures in the main hall, swallowing painfully, the thick fear in its eyes almost overflowing.
Of course.
What it was afraid of was not the real King of Wuji, but the Taoist in the Daoist Robe, stepping with his gait, holding a faintly glowing duster in his hand.
"It's… it's the slayer of Buddhism… Daoist Xuanqing!"
The Lion Boar Monster's face was bitter, his legs trembling. This slayer was no pushover; it felt that it was doomed today. Even if a Bodhisattva came, it probably wouldn't be able to save it.
It's worth mentioning.
Xuanqing's current reputation was well-known throughout the Three Realms.
Cultivators who did not know the inside story might just sigh, "Daoist
Xuanqing is really wealthy."
But among his peers, it was a completely different story.
Clashing with Guanyin face-to-face!
Beheading Guanyin's incarnation!
Beheading the Yellow Wind Monster!
The subsequent death of Mo Ke Jiedi and the fact that even Venerable Fuhu could not escape their fate.
These were unprecedented events since the ancient wars.
Fortunately, the incident of Xuanqing forcing Guanyin to self-destruct her magic treasure not long ago hasn't been revealed yet, otherwise, this Lion Boar Monster would have been scared to death
in the main hall.
Xuanqing showed no emotion and said to the King of Wuji beside him, "Your Majesty, this demon is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva of Buddhism, known as the Lion Boar Monster!"
"Its purpose for coming to your Wuji Kingdom is simple: to steal the nation's luck, slander Buddhism, and seize the luck of Heaven and Earth for its own use!"
As soon as he said this.
The King of Wuji trembled, his eyes filled with visible bloodshot rage.
"Hoo~"
As the ruler of a country, no matter how angry he was, he quickly calmed down after taking a deep breath, and analyzed and judged the current situation.
He didn't know how true the Daoist's words were.
But one thing he could be sure of was that the person who was sitting on his throne, using his appearance was definitely his enemy.
"Daoist Priest, what price I must pay for you to take action and kill this impostor who is trying to seize my kingdom…?" The king asked, pausing between each word.
As soon as he said this.
"Hehe." Xuanqing chuckled and said lightly, "No substantial price. Just renounce… Buddhism!"
As soon as he said this.
Boom-
A great tumult stirred the hearts of the officials inside the main hall.
Naturally, everyone had climbed their way to their current positions through cunning means, and from the dialogue between them and the two identical emperors, combined with… the sudden change in the king's temperament not long ago, it wasn't hard to guess the one sitting on the Dragon Throne… might be an impostor taking the place of the crown prince.
On this side.
After hearing the Daoist's words beside him, the King of Wuji didn't hesitate. "Venerable Daoist, please kill this demon, and after I take back my territory, I will definitely… declare Buddhism as a heretical sect."
After saying this, he paused slightly…
"And… the entire Wuji Kingdom will regard Taoism as the state religion, and from now on, the Tao will be respected!" The King of Wuji said softly.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, looking highly at the King of Wuji.
To be honest,
He had come here to kill the Lion Boar Monster just to spite Guanyin, and whether the Wuji Kingdom would be held accountable by Buddhism afterwards was not within his considerations.
But now, if this King of Wuji could promote Taoism nationwide after the fact, even if he didn't personally protect Wuji, there would be gods from Heavenly Court Taoism to protect him.
At that time… Buddhism really wouldn't be able to do anything to him, at least on the surface, things like taking over the throne and stealing the National Luck would definitely not dare to be done.
At this moment,
The entire main hall was deathly silent.
Only the Lion Boar Monster on the high platform, watching Xuanqing and the
King of Wuji discussing how to kill itself as if no one was around, was both terrified and angry.
With a hardened heart, knowing that death was inevitable either way,
The Lion Boar Monster gritted its teeth and pointed at Xuanqing, scolding angrily:
"Come here!"
"Drag this evil Daoist down and behead him, along with the impostor pretending to be me!"
Upon these words,
Two armored guards actually came out from outside the Morning Meeting Hall and walked towards Xuanqing.
After all, no matter how bizarre the situation was, at least for now, the Lion Boar Monster slumped on the Dragon Throne was the king of their Wuji Kingdom.
Seeing this scene,
"Daoist Priest…" The King of Wuji was a little flustered and hurriedly called.
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Xuanqing sneered.
With no noticeable big movement, his duster only slightly waved, turning into a long rope, shooting towards the Lion Boar Monster on the high platform.
Swish-
Without any strength to resist,
The rope, transformed from the duster's tail, instantly restrained the Lion Boar Monster, and with a slight pull, it brought it flying upside down.
"Ah-"
The Lion Boar Monster screamed as its body uncontrollably flew below the main hall, eventually rolling to the feet of the King of Wuji.
This sudden scene.
Scared the two unsuspecting guards, their faces changed drastically, and they shouted:
"Protect the king, quickly, come here to protect the king!"
The loud voices attracted the guards patrolling outside, and they all poured into the main hall.
But seeing the two kings in the hall, one bound by a rope on the ground and the other standing next to a Daoist Priest,
For a moment,
They were puzzled.
Protect the king… Uh… Whose king should they protect?
"Outrageous, do you all not even recognize me? Strip him down!" The King of
Wuji screamed in anger, emitting the aura of a king.
The guards all trembled.
The Lion Boar Monster tied to the ground writhed like a maggot, stammering:
"I., am., the King of Wuji..!"
"Ah-"
Before the words could be finished, the duster that bound its body suddenly tightened, and a huge pressure overcame it, causing an involuntary scream of pain.
"Wretched beast, quickly reveal your true form."
Roar-
In the shocked gaze of everyone.
The body of the trapped Lion Boar Monster on the ground twisted and grew, finally turning into a large lion with a green face and sharp teeth.
"Demon… there's a demon!"
The officials in the court were terrified and trembled, constantly retreating to the corners of the main hall, looking fearfully at the Lion Boar Monster in the middle.
At this moment,
Only then did their hearts completely believe that for so long, their emperor had actually turned into this lion demon. No wonder they said his temperament had changed greatly.
"Do not fear, my loyal subjects.. Under the protection of a great expert, in the future, there will no longer be any demons who dare terrorize the Wuji Kingdom!"

Chapter 331: Chapter 278: Died again, this time it's Manjushri!
Translator: 549690339
The King of Wuji took this opportunity to stand up and loudly addressed his officials.
Upon hearing this,
Although the officials were still afraid, they gained some confidence, especially seeing the Taoist by their Majesty's side, their fear completely dissipated.
As expected of a king, he had a firm grasp on people's hearts. With just a single sentence, he managed to reestablish his authority and majesty.
This moment,
As if sensing something,
Daoist priest Xuanqing raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upward. He said to the King of Wuji, "Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, I am surprised that Your Majesty has accomplished this."
"I… it's time for me to leave."
"Daoist Priest…?"
The King of Wuji seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he discovered that Xuanqing's figure had already disappeared inside the main hall.
Disappearing along with Xuanqing was the Lion Boar Monster tied up on the ground.
Over here,
The Lion Boar Monster was tied up by the duster, with sparks and electricity all around it, and its flesh was painfully scraped by the Gang Wind.
However, in its heart, a glimmer of hope for survival emerged.
Since Daoist Xuanqing didn't kill it on the spot but chose to capture it instead, he could be concerned about the Manjushri Bodhisattva backing the monster.'
It seemed… rumors can't always be trusted!
With this thought,
The Lion Boar Monster carefully ventured to say,
Superior… superior immortal, this little demon knows its wrongs. This little demon is Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount. If you let me go, I promise not to report you!"
Xuanqing stopped in his tracks.
Seeing this,
The Lion Boar Monster was overjoyed. It thought that its words had worked and that the widespread reputation of Daoist Xuanqing wasn't that extraordinary after all. At least, he was still afraid of Sir Manjushri.
Of course,
Smart people don't push their luck unnecessarily.
It didn't become arrogant and domineering as a result; instead, it spoke more gently and persuasively:
"Daoist Priest Xuanqing, actually… this little demon admires you very much. If you let me go, then…"
"Ah~"
Before it could finish speaking, it let out a howl of agony.
"Shut up!"
Xuanqing shouted in rebuke, then he looked at a lucky cloud not far away.
"Tsk, tsk~ Manjushri Bodhisattva, you've been following me for a while now. If you don't come out, this little Lion Boar Monster will not survive!"
With that,
He manipulated the duster in his hand and gradually increased the binding force.
"Ah-., heh," the Lion Boar Monster's face turned from green to purple, and it visibly weakened in an instant.
"Sir… save… save me!" The Lion Boar Monster's eyes were filled with hope, hoping for his master to save him.
"Amitabha!"
A divine Sanskrit Chant appeared.
Right after,
Flowers rained from the sky and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground. Countless golden 'ft' characters floated in the air, as though they had entered a Buddhist realm.
It had to be said,
There was one common trait among those in the Shimen sect. When they made an appearance, they liked to create special effects, combining both sound and light effects.
"Get a little closer!"
Xuanqing muttered silently in his heart.
As soon as Manjushri Bodhisattva approached, he would let him know the power of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage's self-destruction.
That's right.
The reason he delayed so long in the royal palace was not to show off in front of those mortals,
It was merely to draw out the Manjushri behind the Lion Boar Monster and then move to the outskirts for a fireworks feast.
"Daoist Xuanqing, you… have crossed the line!" Manjushri rode on a Buddhist cloud, his voice melodious and sacred.
"Hehe, I have come here only to present you with an opportunity!" Xuanqing's face was filled with a bright smile.
"By the way, this opportunity is from the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has entrusted me to deliver it to you!"
While speaking,
The duster in his hand had already released the Lion Boar Monster.
With a flicker of thought, he put the duster into his backpack since, after self-destructing, there was a chance that the equipment on his body would explode, it would be safer to store it in the backpack.
An opportunity?
And it was an opportunity given by Guanyin herself?
Manjushri Bodhisattva was taken aback.
At the very moment when he was extremely puzzled, wondering the purpose behind Daoist Xuanqing's capturing the Lion Boar Monster and deliberately luring him out with all those inexplicable words,
It exploded!
Completely unexpectedly, it blew up.
The incredibly immense energy fluctuation distorted the entire space. In such a situation, it would be impossible to perform spatial jumps, let alone escape in the ordinary sense.
Seeing this scene,
Manjushri Bodhisattva's face changed suddenly, his calm demeanor vanished, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
"You… are mad!"
On the side,
As the Lion Boar Monster appeared puzzled over why its master was acting so distressed,
The next moment,
The spatial collapse caused by the explosion swallowed it completely. In an instant, it was devoured by the tearing force brought on by the collapse.
Before the power of cause and effect could take effect, the beast was annihilated solely by the tearing sensation that came with the collapsed space. "Dammit!"
Seeing his mount silently annihilated like that…
Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn't help but curse.
However, no matter how angry he was, it wouldn't help at the moment. He had to escape this space immediately; otherwise, even if he could withstand the tearing force of the spatial collapse, he couldn't withstand the immense disaster aura that would destroy the world.
Unfortunately,
Not everyone was as decisive as Guanyin. At least, Manjushri Bodhisattva hesitated, and it was precisely this hesitation that led him to face a huge catastrophe!
In an instant,
The cracks from the spatial collapse approached Manjushri, swallowing him in their wake.
"This is bad!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva's body trembled as he felt the bizarre and terrifying disaster aura, as though he was a frightened soul..

Chapter 332: Chapter 278: Died again, this time it's Manjushri!_2
Translator: 549690339
At this point!
Manjushri Bodhisattva finally couldn't hesitate any longer.
"Green Lotus…explode!"
He could only grit his teeth and bleed internally, offering up one of his life-bound magic treasures, the Green Lotus, and ruthlessly making it self-destruct.
Boom, boom, boom-
The energy produced by the sudden explosion of a magic treasure approaching the chaos level forcibly pushed back the collapsing spatial aura by a strand. However, this also caused an even more dangerous backlash, with the contained disaster aura so thick that it was horrifying.
"Escape…escape…escape!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva drove the power of the self-destructing magic treasure with all his might, using every ounce of strength he had, just wanting to escape from here.
However!
Although he had already self-destructed the magic treasure, although he had already tried his best, the consequences of his previous hesitation exploded at this moment.
Manjushri's eyes widened as he watched the disaster aura get closer and closer, but in the end, he could only stare helplessly as it entered his physical body. The moment the disaster aura entered his body.
It was over!
This is…his only thought at this moment.
The next moment.
Following the first strand of disaster aura entering his body, the enormous power of causality enveloped his form, instantly causing Manjushri's luck to plummet.
Moreover, due to the decline of Manjushri's luck, it led to even more disaster aura entering his body, as if forming a vicious cycle.
He felt the thick disaster aura inside his body, infecting his own soul, and even the true spirit.
His mind was shattered.
"No!"
Manjushri roared.
This time he didn't dare to hesitate anymore. Since his physical body was already entangled by the disaster aura of cause and effect, he had to give up this body.
The next moment.
A faint shadow emerged from the physical body. Its appearance was exactly the same as Manjushri. It was his soul and true spirit.
The soul emerged from the body.
Escape!
Desperately escape.
Thousands of miles away.
A semi-transparent figure appeared, Manjushri's soul. Without the restriction of a physical body, he finally escaped the danger successfully.
Looking at the collapsed space not far away.
In his soul state, Manjushri… couldn't just describe his current mood as extremely sad and indignant.
His physical body was gone.
Usually, at his level of cultivation, the physical body has reached an undying state, even capable of regrowing from a drop of blood or a single cell if destroyed in battle.
However, the situation just now was different.
His body had been infected by a world-ending level of karma, so if he didn't want to infect his soul and true spirit, the only choice was to abandon the body. Moreover… it was a permanent abandonment with no possibility of recovery. At most… he could learn from Nezha, create a special body using valuable materials and the Reversal of Creation technique.
"Opportunity, damn Daoist Xuanqing, this is the opportunity!"
Manjushri gritted his teeth… gritted his teeth as he yelled.
There was endless hatred in his heart. If possible, he really wanted to strip Daoist Xuanqing's sinews and flay his skin, then extract his soul and fry it thousands of times in oil.
Unfortunately… unfortunately, Daoist Xuanqing's sanity had somehow disappeared. After luring him out, he had directly caused his own death by exploding his soul and body.
Although it's said that Daoist Xuanqing had an undying physical body that could regenerate even after complete destruction,
The self-destruction just now had consumed the essence of his flesh and soul.
In such a situation, if one could still be reborn, it would be impossible to be in the category of being a "living creature."
With this in mind.
Manjushri felt slightly better.
Well, although he lost his physical body, Daoist Xuanqing also lost his life. Although he felt that his body was more valuable than the other's life, he could barely accept the exchange as a small loss…just a small loss.
After feeling his soul's condition.
"Roaming the Three Realms in a soul state is not appropriate. I should return to the Buddha Realm first, find some materials to recreate my body, and then act!"
Manjushri murmured softly.
He was well aware that Daoist Xuanqing had many friends and extensive connections.
Although he didn't know why the other party went mad and wanted to end up dead together, if this matter spread, and someone avenged Daoist Xuanqing in his current soul state, it would be extremely dangerous.
By the way.
He also had to go back and ask Guanyin about what Daoist Xuanqing meant by the phrase "Guanyin entrusted me to give this to you" before his self-destruction. Did this matter have anything to do with Guanyin Bodhisattva?
If it did, because they belonged to the same camp, at best, they could request compensation, but not try to avenge him in death.
Perhaps… the materials he needed to recreate his body had to be acquired from Guanyin.
Manjushri Bodhisattva secretly thought.
Elsewhere.
In an unknown human city within the Wuji Kingdom.
Accompanied by an imperceptible flash of light, someone who had just self-destructed reappeared in this place.
"Huff-"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, resurrected once again.
If Manjushri were to see this scene, he would surely widen his eyes in disbelief before being so angry that he spat out blood.
Good grief, someone who even self-destructed his God Soul can still be resurrected? Then did Manjushri's physical body die in vain?
"I must return and rebuild the Mountain Gate!"
Xuanqing gazes into the distance, thinking to himself.
After this round of mayhem, he finally vented the anger in his heart, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Speaking of which,
This trip out for the mountain-moving mission was full of ups and downs, encountering that Kui Wood Wolf, and stumbling upon Jin Ling and Yin Ling, his cheap Senior Brothers.
In the end,
He even killed the Red Boy and the Lion Boar Monster.
He just didn't know if his own self-destruction had harmed Guanyin and Manjushri!
After all,
"Earth Leaping Golden Light!"
A ray of light sprang under Xuanqing's feet, turning him into a beam of light, speeding towards the direction of the Nanshan Continent.
Black Wind Mountain.
Xuanqing returns to his Taoist arena and sits cross-legged.
"Open the Game Backpack!"
Looking at the more than one thousand colossal mountain peaks inside the Game Backpack, he was filled with satisfaction.
"Swallowing up these more than one thousand mountain peaks, I can at least raise the height of Black Wind Mountain by tens of thousands of meters.
Although it won't compare to the Shimen who have their own world, at least it will be on par with the Taoist arenas of the three Old Heavenly Masters!" About this,
Xuanqing nods his head in satisfaction.
Then,
With a thought,
His God Soul radiates and envelops the entire Black Wind Mountain, communicating with every living being residing there.
"I will be reconstructing the Mountain Gate soon, so all of you should quickly retreat to avoid injury!"
On Black Wind Mountain today,
There were no longer just a few small cats living there. Instead, countless creatures lived there, including the Human Race, Devil Race, Dragon Clan… and so on.
When Xuanqing's voice echoed in their minds,
In the Azure Dragon Sacred Domain of the east…
Young Lord Bai She opened his eyes, his expression showing a hint of joy, "Sir is going to rebuild the Mountain Gate… He's finally going to establish a Taoist temple!"
In the Sacred Domains of the south, west, and north, Qing Jiu, Bai Ling'er, and Old Turtle also opened their eyes and awakened.
They all stood up, looking towards Black Wind Mountain.
In addition to the Four Sacred Beasts of Black Wind Mountain,
Others living there like the Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, and the Earth Deity also packed their belongings one after another, keeping their distance from Black Wind Mountain to avoid being accidentally injured.
About an hour later,
In the sky above Black Wind Mountain,
Xuanqing held a feather duster and floated in the air.
With a thought,
The next moment,
A mountain a thousand feet tall appeared in the sky, blocking even the sun, casting a huge shadow.
"Whip Mountain and Move Rock!"
Xuanqing shouted.
The duster in his hand transformed into a whip tens of thousands of feet long, whipping the thousand-feet-tall mountain towards Black Wind Mountain.
The thousand-feet-tall mountain carried the momentum of tens of thousands of pounds, akin to the pressure of Mount Tai.
Boom-
Boom – Boom – Boom!!!
Chapter 333: Chapter 279: The Highest Standard, Directly Comparable to the Heavenly Court!
Translator: 549690339
The earth was trembling, and countless fragments of rock were scattered all over Black Wind Mountain, while the spirit plants and flowers were instantly crushed by the tremendous pressure.
Rising!
The height of Black Wind Mountain visibly increased at a rapid pace.
One meter…ten meters…one hundred meters…two hundred meters…it finally stopped after increasing by more than three hundred meters.
It's worth mentioning that.
This is the real world, not a game where a mountain would be integrated and increase the height by the same amount. The growth rate would have an exponential decline based on its original height.
For example,
If you throw a stone into a bucket of water, the water level immediately rises by a noticeable amount. But if you throw it into a pool or even a river or lake…the increased water level would be almost negligible.
"Continue!"
After integrating a mountain into Black Wind Mountain,
Xuanqing didn't stop his action but instead, with a thought, he took out another mountain from the Game Backpack.
"Whip Mountain and Move Rock!"
Just like before, the duster transformed into a whip, integrating the mountain into Black Wind Mountain.
Like this,
One mountain…ten mountains…a hundred mountains…sevcral hundred mountains…were integrated into Black Wind Mountain using the divine power of 'Whip Mountain and Move Rock' by him.
After integrating several hundred mountains, the changes in the earth's vein brought enough commotion to spread across the entire Three Realms.
Countless experts in closed-door cultivation once again set their sights on the Land of Black Wind located between Nanshan Continent and West Niu Hezhou.
When they discovered that it was Xuanqing causing the tremors in the Three Realms, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
It must be said that,
Since the Monkey King was pinned under Five Finger Mountain five hundred years ago, the world hadn't been this lively for a long time.
Soon,
In the Game Backpack, only the last two mountains remained—one was Flat Top Mountain where the two child-like beings, Jin Ling and Yin Ling were, and the other was the mountain where Red Boy resided.
With a thought,
Xuanqing directly took out both mountains from the Game Backpack, and the Qi Flower on his body appeared, furiously infusing mana into the duster.
"Whip Mountain and Move Rock!"
With a shout,
The two huge mountain peaks surged towards Black Wind Mountain.
Boom-boom boom.
A moment later,
Black Wind Mountain swallowed both mountain peaks whole, and its height had reached the sky, making it impossible to see the end at first glance.
Xuanqing hovered in the air, looking down at Black Wind Mountain, which was nearly thirty thousand meters high, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
"Such a divine mountain is truly worthy of my two self-exploding deaths," Xuanqing thought with a slight upward curve at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment,
The mountain gate for establishing the Dao Court had been recast.
However, although Black Wind Mountain was towering enough, it still seemed to lack something compared to other cave heavens, blessed lands, and immortal mountains of Dao Courts.
Spiritual Qi!
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
Although Black Wind Mountain now had a colossal body nearly two thousand meters tall, the concentration of spiritual energy within the mountain had actually become much thinner compared to before.
The reason for this,
Was naturally that the mountain had become larger, and the blessed land effect opened up by Zhu Ganglie's three spiked rakes had been weakened.
"Next, we plant the Ginseng Fruit Trees and make the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Black Wind Mountain more concentrated."
"The Flat Peach Divine Tree can also be planted to enrich the foundation of the Dao Court."
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Besides,
He actually had many other ideas, such as buying some treasures he uploaded to the Game Mall and setting up a 'Treasure Pavilion'.
As there was the Treasure Pavilion, he could also collect numerous Taoist scriptures, divine power techniques, and so on, and establish a Scripture Pavilion as well.
Of course, Rome was not built in a day; he planned to work on these minor details after the Dao Court was established.
With a thought,
"Redeem one million Heavenly Merits."
[Ding…- 10E ingots!]
As the ingots were deducted, a bundle of Heavenly Merits in millions appeared in the Backpack, which was equivalent to killing a hundred Yellow Wind Monsters.
"Buy nine Ginseng Fruit Tree Saplings and one Flat Peach Divine Tree Sapling!" Xuanqing silently muttered in his heart.
– 1OOW Heavenly Merits.
With a wave of Xuanqing's right hand, he took out the nine Ginseng Fruit Trees and the Flat Peach Divine Tree from the Game Backpack.
Then,
He scanned Black Wind Mountain and finally decided on a piece of land behind the Taoist temple.
"Go!"
With a swipe of the duster, it carried the nine Ginseng Fruit Tree saplings and a Flat Peach Divine Tree, flying towards the chosen location.
Hurns-
Each tree was spaced about a kilometer apart to ensure they didn't collide with each other.
"Use two hundred thousand years of time acceleration!"
"Use two hundred thousand years of time acceleration!"
As for time acceleration,
Xuanqing had quite a lot of experience. Without any unexpected circumstances, the maximum acceleration for all the spirit roots connected to Chaos Space was about two hundred thousand years.
This acceleration would completely drain the Chaotic Qi in its rooted Chaos Space, and to recover it, Chaotic Qi from other places must be replenished.
By the time he had accelerated all ten Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots,
Black Wind Mountain had completely transformed.
The concentration of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had thickened to the point where it had condensed into fog, giving it the appearance of a celestial land in the human world, with swirling mists everywhere.
"Not bad! Now it has the feeling of an immortal mountain!"
Xuanqing revealed a faint smile on his lips and nodded in satisfaction..

Chapter 334: Chapter 279: The Highest Standard, Directly Comparable to the Heavenly Court! _2
Translator: 549690339
The spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth was thick enough, but he still felt that it was not enough; after all, "spiritual qi" was somewhat low-level.
Basically.
After a cultivator achieves an Immortal Body, they can no longer rely on absorbing spiritual Qi to enhance their cultivation, and at most, it can be used as an energy source to restore mana.
Therefore, he plans to transform this spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth into a higher level of "Immortal Spirit Qi."
"The Heavenly Spirit Attraction Array can draw the power of the stars and transform the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into Immortal Spirit Qi."
"With Old Lord's protection, it should be no problem to borrow the star power from the Seven Luminaries Star Monarchs!"
Xuanqing thought to himself.
It's worth mentioning.
The reason why the Heavenly Court is full of Immortal Spirit Qi is because the stars of the world are centered around the Heavenly Court, forming a protective formation, with all their starlight projected into the Heavenly Court.
Thus, the unique environment of the Heavenly Court is created.
Apart from the Heavenly Court.
The spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth in the Western Buddha Court is also transformed into Buddha Power due to special "human developments."
Since there is nothing but an abundance of people, the use of "human development" is an inevitable choice because of the barrenness of the land.
That's why in the Buddha Realm, various Buddhas, Arhats, and Venerables have their distinct positions, and different postures to maintain the operation of the formation.
Of course, these are just side notes.
On this side.
After planning to set up the "Heavenly Immortal Spirit Attraction Array," he immediately started preparing, most of the materials needed for the formation were readily available to him, and if not, they were listed in the Game Mall…
Such riches were the result of hosting so many banquets and always remembering to upload materials wherever he went.
As time accumulates, a comprehensive treasure trove of heaven and earth is formed.
"The Heavenly Immortal Spirit Attraction Array takes the five elements and yin and yang orientations!"
A glimmer of light shines in Xuanqing's eyes.
In a wave of his hand.
A green flagpole was placed on the easternmost side of Black Wind Mountain, and then sank into the mountain, disappearing from sight.
"Eastwood's Virtue…"
"South's Fire Virtue…" With another wave of his hand, a fiery red flagpole was placed on the southernmost side of Black Wind Mountain.
Next.
"Westward Golden Virtue…"
"Northward Water Virtue…"
"Central Earth Virtue…"
After the five elements are complete, only the day and the month remain.
"Huff-" Xuanqing took a deep breath, his hands forming a seal and placing them in front of his chest as he offered a ceremony to the sky.
"I, Xuanqing, beg the Supreme Queen of the Moon Palace…"
"I, Xuanqing, beseech the Sun Palace Solar Star Lord…"
After reciting the prayer.
Xuanqing opened his palms, revealing a black and a white flagpole, throwing them into the sky and casting a spell of mana.
"Heavenly Immortal Spirit Attraction Array…"
"Array… rise!"
Just after Xuanqing recited the prayer.
Among the Nine Heavens above.
The star lords of the various Star Lord Mansions felt a sense of connection in their hearts and knew that there was a Taoist in the mortal world who wanted to borrow the power of the stars.
After learning it was Xuanqing who made the request, the star lords did not hesitate to grant their power.
Black Wind Mountain.
The moment the star power descended.
Buzz-
An extremely mysterious Daoist charm enveloped the entire Black Wind Mountain, causing the once ordinary spiritual Qi to slowly transform under this charm, eventually becoming an incredibly pure Immortal Spirit Qi.
Although it couldn't compare to the Heavenly Court, it was on par with the Dongtian Immortal Scenery associated with the Heavenly Court.
With this in place.
The environment of Black Wind Mountain was completely transformed.
Following the steps of establishing a Taoist temple, the next step is to take out the items used for suppressing luck in advance.
With a thought.
"Exchange 100,000 Heavenly Merit for the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake)"
[Beep…. -1E Ingot!]
[Beep… -1W Heavenly Merit!]
Xuanqing first used a hundred million ingots to exchange for Heavenly Merit, and then used the Heavenly Merit to purchase the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake).
It's worth mentioning.
The Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace, as the supreme treasure of the Ancestor Master, should originally be a Chaos level treasure.
However, the uploading time was too long, so a downgrade process was applied, and in the end, the word "Fake" was added to the 'Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace'.
In terms of grade, it fell to a half-step Chaos magic weapon, which is on par with the Ginseng Fruit Tree Seedling and the Flat Peach Divine Tree.
After successfully exchanging it, he took it out of the Game Backpack.
Humming
As soon as the Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared, space ripples formed one after another.
"It's truly a treasure of our Ancestor Master! Even with the 'Fake' word attached, it's still extraordinary!"
Xuanqing said in admiration.
At this moment.
All preparations were complete, just waiting for the favorable wind to come!
Now it's time to set up the altar and pray to the heavens to prepare for establishing the Taoist temple.
Speaking of…
Creating a Dao Court can be simple or difficult. The simple part is just reporting the information, waiting for the Jade Emperor to place his stamp, and the Dao Court is created.
However, it's also difficult because it requires the approval of the Jade Emperor's stamp. Other than that, no matter how powerful you are… even if you destroy the whole world, you still cannot create a Dao Court.
At most, you could create a fake Dao Court that is not recognized by Heaven and Earth, and it's only for self-entertainment without any use.
15 minutes later.
In the courtyard of Black Wind Mountain's Taoist temple, there was an altar 899 meters high. In addition to the livestock and spirit beasts on the altar, Ginseng Fruits and Nine Thousand Years Flat Peaches were also displayed.
All kinds of Taoist magic tools were readily available.
Xuanqing held nine sticks of spirit incense with his legs and shoulders parallel.
As for the 'Immortal Official Seal', it was brought out early and floated above the altar.
"I, Xuanqing, wish to create a Dao Court at Black Wind Mountain today. I pray to the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Nine Heavens "
With the end of the prayer.
Something incredible happened.
Almost instantly, the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court responded as if he had been waiting for him to establish the Dao Court.
"This fast?"
Xuanqing looked somewhat strange.
However.
Now is a critical time to establish the Taoist temple, so even if he felt it was strange, he could not afford to be distracted.
Then, after the Jade Emperor approved the application to establish the Dao Court.
In an instant.
The wind and clouds changed in Heaven and Earth.
Abeam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Black Wind Mountain… even Black Wind City.
Immediately after.
A gentle rain gradually drifted across the sky, accompanied by a colorful rainbow bridge.
It seemed as if heavenly music could be heard, and faintly visible were the fairy women dancing on the rainbow bridge.
As these Heaven and Earth phenomena appeared.
At the peak of Black Wind Mountain.
The Immortal Official Seal on the altar emitted a brighter light, releasing a huge gravitational force, as if to absorb everything around it.
Upon seeing this scene.
"Now is the time!
Xuanqing's spirits were lifted.
Then.
He muttered to himself, "Exchange ten million Innate Merits."
[Beep… -100E!]
As a hundred billion were deducted, the Game Backpack contained ten million Innate Merits.
The 'Innate Merit', which is handed out as a salary for heavenly court officials, has an exchange rate of 1000 to one with Ingots.
In the Three Realms, the ultimate dream of all cultivators is to 'ascend to immortality'. Aside from status, this is also because the Heavenly Court distributes a certain amount of salary every year.
This salary is not money, but Innate Merit, a higher level than Human Merit, Yin Virtue, and others.
Generally speaking.
When creating a Dao Court, the initial funding required is Human Merit. Even some inferior ones use Yin Virtue or even Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
In plain words.
If this were compared to a company, then it is the registered capital of the company.
On this point.
Xuanqing didn't want to settle for anything less than the best.
He aimed directly at the Heavenly Court, using 'Innate Merit' as the initial capital, which serves as the annual salary for all Dao Court members after its creation.
He just doesn't know what kind of expression the Jade Emperor will have when he sees this terrifying 'Dao Court Registered Capital'..

Translator: 549690339
A thought crossed his mind.
He pulled out that large mass of Innate Merit from his Game Backpack.
"Go!"
Xuanqing waved his whisk, and directed these ten million units of Innate Merit toward the floating Immortal Official Seal.
In an instant.
Buzzing-
The Immortal Official Record trembled, like a ferocious beast devouring these Innate Merits.
Following that… The Immortal Official Seal began to transform. Its originally square shape was gradually elongated, ultimately…
It resembled a scroll or a list.
• •
Meanwhile, as Xuanqing was performing the last steps of establishing his Taoist temple…
Elsewhere.
In the Golden Palace of Clouds above the Nine Heavens.
Emperor Haotian, who had been observing (spying on) a certain individual, naturally pulled out his stamp to approve the application for the Taoist temple as soon as he saw it.
However.
When it came to upload the dojo's source to the total bank….the Jade Emperor's eyes widened, and he froze in place.
"This…this… this is impossible!"
The Jade Emperor murmured in disbelief, his pupils constricting at the sight.
Innate Merit!
The dojo this young man created uses Innate Merit as its salary source.
You should know.
Innate Merit isn't something that can be produced by people. It's a precious, extremely convenient substance naturally produced by the Heaven and Earth of this world, though it's not as valuable as Heavenly Merit.
In the entire Primordial World, only the Heavenly Court has it.
"This amount of Innate Merit could not possibly have been saved up from his daily salary,"
Upon calming down,
The Jade Emperor contemplated internally.
Suddenly.
He couldn't help but think about the unheralded appearance of over a thousand Relocation Orders earlier, with no records. Undoubtedly, it proved that this… perhaps had something to do with Sir.
Now.
Following the thousand Relocation Orders, such a sum of untraceable 'Innate Merit' has appeared.
Isn't this situation obvious?
Thinking this,
The Jade Emperor stood up, unable to suppress himself, lifting his head as if his gaze could penetrate the Primordial World to view the Endless Chaos beyond.
"Sir, oh Sir, what are you trying to do?"
Everyone only knows that he, the Jade Emperor, is the high and mighty Emperor Haotian of the Nine Golden Heavens, the one who governs the Three Realms.
But who knows that in the presence of Sir, he, who governs the Three Realms, is simply a serving child.
Just as people can't guess his thoughts as the Jade Emperor, he also can't guess any of Sir's thoughts.
Let's not talk about the Heavenly Court.
Back to Xuanqing.
After infusing the Innate Merit into the Immortal Official Seal… No… There is no longer the slightest resemblance of a 'seal'. It clearly resembles a 'list' now.
It should be called the Immortal Official List!
As soon as the Innate Merit entered the Immortal Official List,
In a flash.
Bright light radiated.
A wave of grand fluctuations originating from this Immortal Official List spread in all directions.
Anyone who was swept by this wave felt an urge to kneel down, an instinct that seemed to come from the depths of their True Spirit.
"Today, I shall establish…the Taichu Dojo!"
Xuanqing whispered.
Boom-
Even though it was a whisper, the sound traveled along the fluctuations, spreading across the Three Realms.
Just after the words 'Taichu Dojo' were spoken, a long-awaited, familiar mechanical notification sound rang out in Xuanqing's mind.
[Ding…Congratulations on creating the beginning of your dojo, a new feature has been unlocked:…!
"Hmm?"
Xuanqing was taken aback. Upon checking the 'new feature', his whole body quivered, revealing an excited look in his eyes.
•••
• •
Leaving aside the excited Xuanqing in front of the altar with the newly unlocked feature, let us talk about the current situation.
This moment.
The time was just dawn, and the sun had barely shown its tip.
But the citizens of Black Wind City had also just risen. Unlike in the past when they would get up early, nowadays Black Wind Country had transformed from a manual agricultural society to a semi-industrial society.
Just at this moment,
A wave of majestic power swept from Black Wind Mountain.
In an instant,
No matter what the citizens were doing, they immediately looked toward Black Wind Mountain with reverence, their legs unconsciously kneeling in worship.
They felt as if a 'Heavenly Being', a true 'Sky God' belonging to them, was born on Black Wind Mountain.
"I, Xuanqing, shall establish the Taichu Dojo today!"
A whisper, yet it directly entered their minds or imprinted in their True Spirits.
All kneeling citizens had the phrase 'I, Xuanqing, shall establish the Taichu Dojo today' resounding in their minds.
It wasn't just the citizens of Black Wind Country.
Even Xuanqing's subordinates who were prepared in advance, were still shocked by the mysterious and majestic wave.
From the White Snake Young Lord, who had the highest cultivation, to the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods, all of them left their cave mansions and their realms.
They flew into the sky without any agreement.
Surrounding Black Wind Mountain, they formed a semi-circular guard formation and then knelt on the ground. On their faces, a fervid excitement that they could no longer suppress was evident.
"The Taichu Dojo is being established!"
"The Taichu Dojo is being established!"
"The Taichu Dojo is being established!"
All his subordinates knelt on the ground, shouting these six words.
Their excitement and ecstatic are all genuine because they understood clearly just what their Sir establishing a Taoist temple meant..

Translator: 549690339
This meant that all of these beings who joined the Black Wind Mountain before the establishment of the Dojo, now possessed the powers from the Dragon.
In the future, as the development of the "Taichu Dojo" progresses, these elders will also receive unimaginable huge benefits.
Of course.
They did not know yet that their master had benchmarked the Taichu Dojo to the Heavenly Court and planned to use "Innate Merit" as their salary.
If they knew this, they might be so overjoyed they would faint.
Heavenly Court.
Star Lord Mansion.
In front of a pill furnace, Star Lord Taibai was contemplating the refinement of a medicinal elixir when he suddenly felt a wave of fluctuations, causing the movements of his hand to involuntarily stop.
Whoosh-
Black smoke erupted from the spiritual medicine inside the furnace, turning it into a fine powder that completely dissipated.
However.
As if thinking of something,
Star Lord Taibai's excitement was barely concealed, despite the refining failure being somewhat displeasing, there was a trace of enthusiasm in his pupils.
"Call someone, prepare generous gifts… This Lord will personally go to the mortal realm!"
"Yes, Master."
In addition to the Star Lord Mansion.
Tenth Heaven.
Tai Xuan Three Dao Realm.
This was the realm of Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, Ge Xuan, the three old Heavenly Masters, or more accurately… a small world based in the Heavenly Court that was attached to the Heavenly Realm.
At this moment.
The three old Heavenly Masters were still playing chess.
Indeed, "watching a game of chess in the mountains, a glance lasts for thousands of years" referred to this kind of situation.
For these people, a game of chess is no longer just a simple game, but a reflection on the rules and an extrapolation of the principles of heaven and earth.
Just as Zhang Daoling was about to play his white piece.
Boom-
An extremely mysterious, yet very familiar fluctuation to them, came from the mortal realm beneath their feet.
Click…
With an unsteady grip, the chess piece fell freely from their hand, landing on the chessboard with a crisp sound.
"This is… the fluctuation from the establishment of a Dojo!" Zhang Daoling murmured lightly.
Suddenly.
Xu Xun, who sat opposite him playing chess, and Ge Xuan, who stood behind them watching the game, exchanged glances.
"One day in heaven equals one year on earth, we might as well go to the mortal realm first, and as for this game of chess… we'll resume it when we come back, how about that?"
"Good!
Thus.
Xu Xun and Ge Xuan both stood up and returned to their own Dao Courts one after another. As fellow humans, they had to prepare a generous gift for this junior human, Xuanqing.
Not just Star Lord Taibai of the Star Lord Mansion, and the three old Heavenly Masters of Tai Xuan Three Dojo.
Now.
The entire Heavenly Court was boiling because of the establishment of the Taichu Dojo.
Leaving other things aside, among these immortals in the Heavenly Court, nine out of ten either had a relationship with Xuanqing or had dealings with him, except for those from the Shimen.
In this case, the important event of establishing a Dojo naturally required a congratulatory visit.
Even… if there was nothing urgent that prevented them from leaving, they had to go there personally. When it came to the matter of establishing a Dojo, sending a child or subordinate to give a gift would seem disrespectful.
At the Southern Heavenly Gate.
A group of immortals met by chance.
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, it turns out that it's Nine Heavens respond to the Origin Thundering Universal Transcendence of the Department of Thunder, are you going to congratulate Daoist Master Xuanqing on establishing his Dojo?"
"Hahaha, I've seen the three old Heavenly Masters; I sensed something today, and then I found out that it was Daoist Master Xuanqing who established the Dojo, so I set off to congratulate him."
"Shall we go together?"
"Together, together!"
"Yo, Elder brother of Earth Virtue, it's rare to see you. Are you here to congratulate Daoist Master Xuanqing…?"
"Yes, just joining the excitement, haha."
"Eh… someone from the Central Agency is coming, and even Master Xiansheng of Siwei Mansion has come out in person."
"Tsk tsk, the Three Realms haven't been this lively for many years."
Black Wind Mountain was located in the middle area between Nanshan
Continent and West Niu Hezhou, so if one wanted to go there from the Heavenly Court, the closest route would undoubtedly be through the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Any immortal who plans to attend the opening ceremony of the Taoist temple will choose to descend from the South Heavenly Gate.
So… that's why it's so lively with all the gods gathered at the South Heavenly Gate.
Speaking of which!
The immortals in the Heavenly Court could be described as 'old shut-ins,' either playing chess, refining elixirs, or meditating in deep sleep, rarely going out to move around.
Now… they have a rare opportunity and a reason to go to the mortal world for some fun, and there are so many immortal colleagues, which is truly a great joy.
Not just in the Heavenly Court.
The establishment of the Taoist temple has caused a disturbance that spread throughout the Three Realms. Everyone knows that Daoist Xuanqing has established the 'Taichu Dojo'.
In this situation.
Almost everyone who has a relation with Xuanqing intends to personally go to Black Wind Mountain to attend the banquet.
Even those who have no relation want to join in the excitement.
After all.
One can imagine that such a high-level event must have many great powers attending. Gaining some insight and becoming acquainted with them is also a great thing.
Black Wind Mountain.
Young Lord White Snake is directing his subordinates to dismantle the altar and move many tables and chairs in preparation for the establishment of the Taoist temple and the follow-up banquet.
Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, Bai Ling'er… including the newly joined Qing Jiu, Old Turtle, and others are not idle, each busy with their own tasks.
As for Xuanqing, the host.
He naturally sits cross-legged in his room, researching the prompt that appeared in his mind just now.
"I didn't expect to have any new functions after such a long time, but after successfully establishing the Taoist temple, a new function was added!"
Xuanqing muttered softly.
After he said the words 'I, Xuanqing, today establish the Taichu Taoist temple,' the login prompt sounded in his mind.
The prompt goes like this:
[Ding… Congratulations to the player for establishing the Taoist temple and unlocking the new function: Original Fusion!]
That's right.
The new function is called 'Original Fusion'.
At that time, he was establishing the Taoist temple, and he had to temporarily ignore this prompt. Now that the Taoist temple has been established.
As for the preparation of the banquet later, with the followers handling it, he naturally can carefully study what this new function 'Original Fusion' is all about.
With a thought.
Xuanqing focuses his attention on the new function 'Original Fusion'.
In an instant.
His mind had an additional set of information on Original Fusion.
[Original Fusion: Consume the power of the Origin to upgrade and merge two items of the same origin into a brand new item.
Note: Items that have been fused and upgraded cannot be fused again!
Note: The acquisition of Origin Points can be exchanged by consuming Ingots or Heavenly Merits at a ratio of 1 Origin Point = 100,000 Heavenly Merits = 1E Ingot.
"Hiss!
Xuanqing was a bit shocked and couldn't help but gasp for breath.
The previous explanation about Original Fusion is acceptable, consuming the power of the Origin to merge and upgrade two items of the same origin.
Easy to understand. For example, two glass beads can be merged, but a piece of gold and a glass bead definitely won't work.
But the notation about the 'Ingot/Heavenly Merits exchange ratio for the Origin Points' is unbelievable.
One Origin Point requires a hundred thousand Heavenly Merits or a hundred million Ingots. This price is a bit too much.
"Let's try it out to see if it's worth it!
II
Xuanqing secretly thought.
It so happens.
Now that the Taoist temple has been established, a magical treasure is needed to suppress the Taoist temple's luck.
They can try to merge and upgrade the two Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake) to see if they can remove the 'Fake' suffix and upgrade them into a real Eight Trigrams Furnace.
Thinking of this.
"Exchange Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake)," Xuanqing silently murmured in his heart.
[Ding.. -1E Ingot!]
This Fusion Upgrade function requires two items of the same origin to merge. The one he bought from the Game Store should be considered the same origin, right?
It's worth mentioning.
Items of the same origin need to be placed in the Game Backpack to be merged.
"Put away!"
Xuanqing put the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace he had previously purchased into the backpack. Along with the one he just bought, there arc exactly two Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace.
At the next moment.
"Use the Fusion Upgrade function!"

Chapter 337: Chapter 281: Taishang Laojun's Shock!
Translator: 549690339
"Fusion Upgrade!"
Accompanied by Xuanqing's silent chant.
A crisp notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding… Origin Points less than too, fusion upgrade failed!]
One hundred Origin Points?
"This Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace (Imitation) should be considered a half-step chaos level magic treasure, too Origin Points… That's equivalent to needing too million ingots."
As for this price.
Xuanqing couldn't help but feel stunned.
This is a full too million ingots, even with his current income, it's still a considerable amount.
However.
New functions have appeared, and they must be tried out.
So…
"Exchange one hundred Origin Points." Xuanqing silently chanted in his heart.
[Ding… -100E Ingots!]
With the deduction of the ingots, he had an additional too Origin Points balance in his Game Backpack.
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, concentrated on the Chaos Eight Diagrams
Furnace (Imitation) in his Game Backpack, and whispered:
"Fusion upgrade!"
Humming-
They could see that within the Game Backpack, the two Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnaces (Imitation) began to tremble slightly, and then turned into two glowing orbs that merged together.
[Fusion progress: 1%….2%…]
"It even has a percentage progress bar like uploading goods?"
Xuanqing was left speechless.
Fortunately, this progress bar wasn't slow at all. According to this speed, it would not take more than a few days to complete.
And now that the Dao Court has just opened, it will take at least a year or two to hold a banquet. It's not that it takes so long to prepare, but the guests need some time to arrive.
Not to mention the immortals from the Heavenly Court, according to the ratio of one day in heaven being equivalent to one year on Earth, it would take a considerable amount of time for those from heaven to arrive.
A few days later.
[The fusion upgrade of Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace (Imitation) * Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace (Imitation) has been successful, please check!]
Upon hearing the notification in his mind,
Xuanqing's spirit couldn't help but lift up.
Then.
His mind immersed himself in the Game Backpack.
What came into sight was a magic treasure identical to his Ancestor Master's Eight Trigrams Furnace in Douluo Palace.
Even the aura of the Eight Trigrams Furnace was exactly the same. If the two Eight Trigrams Furnaces were placed together without looking at the traces of usage, even the Ancestor Master himself would have a hard time identifying them.
"Check the information on this magic treasure!" Xuanqing silently chanted in his heart.
In an instant.
The information about the 'Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace' was compiled into a table and appeared in his mind.
These pieces of information included how to use the magic treasure and the minimum requirements to use it, etc., roughly equivalent to the instructions manual.
[Name: Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace
[Grade: First-Class Chaotic Magical Instrument
[Usage: Alchemy, Protection, Suppressing Luck
It is worth mentioning that.
Unlike the previous times when checking magic treasures, this time it was different.
Not only was there a character panel-like thing provided, but a magic treasure grade was also given.
As for the last column of 'usage', it can be directly ignored. After all, it's up to you how to use this thing. Even if it's used as a brick to hit people, it's possible.
"A First-Class Chaotic Magical Instrument?"
Xuanqing pondered.
Speaking of which,
This world's magic treasures lack a specific registration.
In the real world, there are some primordial novels that set up something like primordial magic treasures, acquired magic treasures, or spiritual treasures, but there are none in this world.
"This is the first magic treasure to appear with grade levels. First-class… it shouldn't be the highest level, but the most basic level. There should be a second-class, third-class, etc."
He guessed to himself in his heart.
But he couldn't quite reconcile the fact that the Eight Trigrams Furnace was his Ancestor Master's signature magic treasure. Logically, its rank should be almost infinitely high. However, the magic treasure on the system side seems like beginner-level equipment, which is quite puzzling.
However.
If you can't figure something out, don't think about it. Maybe after a while, everything will fall into place, and you'll naturally understand.
At this moment.
The most important thing is to put this Eight Trigrams Furnace as the suppressing luck object in place.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace had already been refined when it was purchased from the store, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the ability to refine it and use it with my current Cultivation!"
Looking at the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace lying inside the Game Backpack,
Xuanqing thought quietly.
Next.
With a thought,
He took the Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace out of the Game Backpack and threw it into the sky. He then began to mutter a few words to himself:
"With the establishment of the Dao Court, I will use this object to suppress the Taichu Luck!"
Xuanqing shouted with a loud voice.
In an instant.
This First-Class Chaotic Magical Instrument Eight Trigrams Furnace released dazzling light, with waves of chaotic Qi spreading in all directions.
A moment later.
Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace's light gradually converged, and eventually turned into a stream of light and entered Black Wind Mountain.
From then on, Black Wind Mountain had become the sacred land of the Taichu Dao Court, just like the Lingxiao Bao Hall in Fairyland, or the Daxiong Baodian in the Buddha Realm.
Furthermore.
With the suppression of Luck provided by the First-Class Chaotic Magical Instrument Eight Trigrams Furnace, the difference with the Heavenly Court and Buddha Court was only in quantity, but not in quality.
Just as Xuanqing took out the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace from the backpack and placed it in Black Wind Mountain as a luck-suppressing object, Heavenly Realm.
In the Douluo Palace above the Thirty-six Heavens,
Taishang Laojun, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise..

Chapter 338: Chapter 281: Taishang Laojun's Shock! _2
Translator: 549690339
"Eh…"
In fact.
As for this kid from his own gate, although he wasn't as nosy as the Jade Emperor, who would often peek into Haotian Realm when he had nothing to do, he still paid close attention.
He actually sensed the aura of the 'Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace' on that Black Wind Mountain, as if his own Eight Diagrams Furnace was moved away.
"There's only one Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace in the entire Three Realms, where did this kid get it from?"
Taishang Laojun looked astonished.
He didn't know when, but he started to have trouble understanding Xuanqing.
The last time he revived after self-detonating his God Soul and even went to provoke Manjushri again, it was already incredibly bizarre.
Now, he actually brought out a Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace.
This thing is truly a Chaos-level magic treasure that even the entire Primordial World couldn't produce many of.
"It seems that this kid… is not just a foreign visitor!" Taishang Laojun stood up, his eyes gazing into the distance, faintly filled with an indescribable color.
That's right.
As an Ancestor Master, he should make some gestures for his disciple who is starting a Dao Court.
At the same time, some matters…can also be arranged.
Having thought about it.
Creak-
He pushed open the wooden door of his room and walked towards the back courtyard of Douluo Palace, where his mount, the old cow, was tied.
"Moo~"
The old cow, dozing on the ground, saw its master coming and quickly stood up, wagging its head to please him.
Taishang Laojun lightly stroked the old cow's neck and untied the rope that was locked on it.
Then.
He took out a jade slip and two small jade bottles from his bosom, handed them to the old cow, and instructed:
"Old cow, go down to the Lower Realm this time and give these two things to Daoist Xuanqing."
"Besides…it's time for the Journey to the West."
"Moo, I will obey your command, Master!"
The old cow slowly stood up and turned into a rugged man with a mossy green face, two horns on his head, and armor on his body.
After taking the jade slip and two small jade bottles from his master, his body began to spin, and he turned into a gust of wind with a 'whoosh' and disappeared inside the Great Hall.
Taishang Laojun's whisk swayed gently in the wind.
Watching the departing figure of his steed, the old cow, his eyes were filled with nostalgia, and he couldn't help but recall the memory of going to Hangu Pass back then.
"Old Cow, I hope that this time, the opportunity will help you advance further!" Taishang Laojun's expression was distant, whispering softly.
The scene shifts to Black Wind Mountain.
Time flies by.
It has been almost half a year since the Dao Court was successfully opened.
During this time, the news of Xuanqing's establishment of the Taichu Dao Court spread throughout the entire Three Realms.
From the gods of the Heavenly Court down to the little demons and monsters of the mortal world, everyone knew that in this world, there was a Daoist named 'Xuanqing' who had opened a Dao Court, becoming the fourth Daoist to do so among the human race.
Under such circumstances, the Dao Court banquet began.
At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
With a month left until the start of the banquet, it was already crowded with people, as busy as ever.
The vast majority of them were the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods in Black Wind Country and the surrounding small countries, as well as some wandering cultivators.
They naturally wouldn't miss this rare Dao Court banquet. Even if they couldn't enter the banquet itself, it wouldn't be too late to join in the fun and gain some insights outside.
"Haha, Bao Lao San, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Such a grand event, I naturally have to come and gain some insights."
"Eh, look, there's something going on in the distance."
Two cultivators were greeting each other when they suddenly looked up at the sky.
They saw a large shadow approaching from a distance. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was more than a dozen large dragons, twisting and wriggling in the air.
"What a huge dragon, it's at least a thousand feet long."
"Hiss… Could it be the Four Seas Dragon Tribe?"
One of the cultivators had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that there were four giant dragons that were a thousand feet long, followed by smaller dragons that were hundreds of feet long.
Of course.
The term 'small dragon' was relative. For those scattered cultivators, whether it was a hundred-foot-long 'small dragon', or a thousand-foot-long giant dragon, those were all unattainable existences.
Over here.
Under the guidance of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, to show their respect, the Dragon Clan stopped a few dozen miles away from Black Wind Mountain.
Leading them was the East Sea Dragon King, who held the highest status among the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and standing beside him was the West Sea Crown Prince Ao Moang.
Arriving at the mountain gate.
They saw Senior Brother Qingxu waving and greeting them.
"Junior Brother, over here…" Gentleman Bai She waved to Ao Moang to signal him.
Seeing Gentleman Bai She approaching, Ao Moang hastily straightened up, raising his hands with a ritual gesture over his head.
"I've met Senior Brother Qingxu."
After the greeting.
He then turned to the East Sea Dragon King beside him and introduced, "Elder Brother, Second Brother, Father Emperor, Uncle."
"This is our master's left-hand man and my senior brother… Daoist Qingxu!"
However.
Moang found that all his elders seemed to have been subjected to a paralysis technique, showing no reaction at all.
"Elder Brother…Father Emperor…?" Ao Moang was taken aback and quickly tugged at their sleeves.
It was only then that they
"Hiss-"
Everyone finally reacted, their eyes filled with horror when they looked at Gentleman Bai She.
"Truly, hearing the name alone can't compare to meeting in person. In Daoist Qingxu, I see the shadow of my late father, especially…especially that kind of momentum."
The East Sea Dragon King's voice was filled with emotion, and then he apologized, "I'm sorry, I was momentarily surprised and a bit out of sorts."
"Hahaha-" Moang laughed heartily, then explained;
"Elder Brother, as I've said before, Senior Brother Qingxu has already condensed a Destiny Golden Dragon body, which is of the same bloodline level as our Five-clawed Golden Dragon."
Upon seeing this.
Gentleman Bai She also went forward with a smile and greeted the dragons. "Welcome, Dragon Kings. Sir has already prepared a banquet inside. Please come in!"
"Alright, then Daoist friend Qingxu, please carry on." The East Sea Dragon King cupped his hands and led the dragon children and grandchildren towards the mountain.
Not long after the arrival of the Dragon Clan.
Before long.
The various immortals from the Heavenly Court, as if they had agreed upon it, rode their lucky clouds and arrived at Black Wind one after another.
Like the previous Dragon Clan, the gods showed their respect by descending from their lucky clouds from a distance far from Black Wind Mountain.
As the saying goes, things have changed since then.
Now, Xuanqing is the master of a Daoist temple, and no matter how you used to get along as Daoist friends, the respect and etiquette that should be shown must be shown.
"The Gods of the Department of Thunder are here to congratulate Taichu Dao on the establishment of his Daoist temple and wish him an early escape to the Great Dao!"
"The Gods of the Exorcism Academy are here to congratulate Taichu Dao on the establishment of his Daoist temple…."
"The Gods of the Household Register Department Fate Palace….. "
"The Sun and Moon alongside the Seven Luminaries Star Lords…"
"Erlang Perfected Xiansheng of Guanjiangkou, the Six Brothers of Xie Mei Mountain…."
Listening to the announcer's voice.
The cultivators at the foot of the mountain were dumbfounded, stretching their necks to see what the legendary figures looked like and whether they resembled those from myths.
Regardless of how astonished the little cultivators were at the foot of the mountain.
Back at the scene.
The Dragon Clan, led by Ao Moang, entered Black Wind Mountain.
In an instant.
There was an abundance of immortal spirit qi, thick enough to condense into fog, which was almost as abundant as the Heavenly Court's.
Under these circumstances!
It directly baffled the Dragon Clan. What was going on? Had they entered the Heavenly Court? How could Black Wind Mountain have immortal qi?
"Moang…this…" East Sea Dragon King hesitated.
"Elder Uncle, it's just some immortal spirit qi, which my master collected using the power of the Seven Luminaries Star Lords, attracting starlight to lay down the formation that transforms the Heaven and Earth spiritual qi!"
Ao Moang bowed his hands and spoke.
Yet, in his heart, he had the urge to laugh. Just now, they were shocked by the mere sight of immortal spirit qi.
What would happen when they reached the hillside later and saw the Nine Pearl Ginseng Fruit Tree, as well as the Flat Peach Divine Tree?
At this moment.
There was a commotion behind them, and the gods of the Heavenly Court, who had arrived a step behind, had caught up..
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 339: Chapter 282: Is this… the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Flat Peach Divine Tree?
Translator: 549690339
They observed a group of immortals, emitting an aura of spiritual Qi and radiating divine power, casually walking their way with conversation and laughter.
-Oh…Ifs the Four Seas Dragon Tribe, didn't expect you guys to come first…"
"Wait, this is….?"
-There is a flow of Immortal Spirit Qi here, and it's almost comparable to that
of the Heavenly Court."
just when they were about to greet the Dragon Clan, they sensed an intense spiritual aura emanating from the mountains.
And it wasn't just the Spirit Qi
They also felt the presence of a grand formation in the mountains that was giving off an overwhelming aura of majesty. It seemed somewhat similar to the Heavenly Court's formation.
Here.
Upon seeing the immortals enter, the members of the Dragon Clan hurried to welcome them.
"Haha, it's the officials from Department of Thunder, Household Registration Department, Demon Driving Institute, and Star Lord Mansion…" the East Sea Dragon King cheerfully greeted, bowing.
Ao Moang also opened his mouth and said, "Honorable immortals, when Sir established the Dao Court in this mountain, he borrowed from the Star Lord Mansion to project…"
At this.
The gods suddenly understood and simultaneously cast their eyes towards Star
Lord Taibai, as well as the Taiyin Divine Lord and Taiyang Divine Lord.
"Don't be alarmed. This matter has already been reported to the Jade Emperor by the Star Lord Mansion!" Taiyin Divine Lord slightly bowed as he spoke indifferently.
Speaking of which.
Among the Seven Luminaries Star Monarch, Taiyin and Taiyang have a far superior status in the Heavenly Court. Hence, they are addressed as 'Divine Lords' unlike the other Stellar Luminaries who are addressed as 'Star Monarch'.
"So it is like this, no wonder there is Immortal Spirit Qi here."
"Friends from the Dragon Clan, why don't we journey up the mountain together?" one of the immortals casually asked.
"Hahaha, let's go together-" The East Sea Dragon King laughed heartishly.
So it is.
The gods of the Heavenly Court and the members of the Dragon Clan journeyed up the mountain together.
Once they reached halfway up the mountain.
What greeted their eyes was a massive Martial Arts Arena.
In the center of this arena were neatly arranged tables and chairs; identity plaques were also placed on the tables and chairs, providing orderly seating for the guests.
However.
That was not what caught their attention.
The focus was on the ten towering trees surrounding the arena, each reaching high into the sky and radiating an aura of Daoist charm.
Nine of these were Ginseng Fruit Trees, each bearing several baby-like ginseng fruits.
The other tree was a Flat Peach Divine Tree that had countless branches, each resembling a nine-thousand-year Flat Peach Tree, and the branches were laden with fruits.
The rich fragrance of the fruits was intoxicatingly pleasant.
But the reactions of those present were as if they had seen a ghost.
Are these… the Ginseng Fruit Tree… and Flat Peach Divine Tree?
Unlike the clueless scattered practitioners at the base of the mountain, their knowledge of these towering trees wasn't limited to their impressive stature. The energy radiating from the trees and the fruits hanging on them made it easy to guess what trees these were.
But… there should only be one Ginseng Fruit Tree in this world, and it should be in the hands of the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan.
As for the Flat Peach Divine Tree, it is even more absurd. It lies within the Heavenly Court's Flat Peach Garden, owned by the Mother of the Jade Pond. There's no way it could have been gifted to Daoist Xuanqing.
What's even more unbelievable is.
There are nine… a full nine Ginseng Fruit Trees, is this wholesale?
Whether it was the immortals or the Dragon Clan, all were dumbstruck, standing still, unsure of what to do.
At this moment.
On the high platform of the Martial Arts Arena.
Seeing everyone's reaction.
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, but he understood the immortals and the Dragon Clan, after all, what he had done was indeed extraordinary.
If it weren't for his current high status, having a huge backing, and bemg capable of self-protection with the Shimen being his only enemy… he wouldn't dare reveal everything so easily.
As the saying goes, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his treasures, but if the treasures are in the hands of lords and generals, they are blameless. Now that he has a status that matches these treasures, there's naturally no need to hide them.
Just like the 'Eating Tang Monk's Flesh grants immortality and enhances cultivation', apart from the actors, there are many wild demons eyeing it.
But the Ginseng Fruits of Longevity Mountain, the Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach from the Jade Pool… things of this sort, aren't they better than Tang Monk's Flesh? But who dares to eye these treasures?
"Ahem!"
Xuanqing cleared his throat, redirecting the attention of the dazed gods and Dragon Clan members.
At this moment!
Standing tall with his hands behind his back, the duster swaying at his waist with the wind, his bright eyes firmly focused on the guests.
"In the decades since I started my cultivation, I have finally established a Dao Court."
"Looking back on the journey, I encountered many influential figures who provided assistance and guidance, and it is because of their support that I'm where I am today."
"Today, on the establishment of my Dao Court, I will say this – the Ginseng Fruit, the Nine Thousand Year Flat Peach… are up for grabs!"
The moment these words were spoken.
The gods' of Heavenly Court eyes lightened up.
The reason they attended this banquet in person was not only to give face to Daoist Xuanqing but also for the Ginseng Fruit.
They didn't expect that apart from the Ginseng Fruit, there would even be Flat Peaches available.
As for why… there are nine Ginseng Fruit Trees and a Flat Peach Divine Tree inside the courtyard… well, they say minding your own business leads to longevity.
"Haha, so generous, Master of the Primordial Beginning!"
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune….Good!"
"Thank you, Master of the Primordial Beginning, this Little God won t be shy then.."

Chapter 340: Chapter 282: Is This… the Ginseng Fruit Tree and Flat Peach Divine Tree? 2
Translator: 549690339
Everyone at the martial arts arena was sitting in their respective seats, talking with respect, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
And so it went.
Several days of eating and drinking passed.
Suddenly.
Buddhist light appeared in the sky, as if one could hear Sanskrit chants resounding, as if some great power had descended into the world.
Needless to say, this kind of brilliant light and dazzling special effects were certainly the work of someone from the Buddha Court. In the entire Three Realms, only those from the Buddha Court enjoyed such grandiose displays.
As expected.
A while after the special effects ended.
A figure standing on a shattered lotus platform while holding a sheep fat jade cleansing bottle… No, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva, clad in a white silk dress, who arrived above the banquet.
"I heard that Daoist Xuanqing has established a Dao Court, and in accordance with the rules, this poor monk is here on behalf of the Shimon to present… two Relic pearls of Arhat and wish the daoist to achieve the Great Dao soon."
Guanyin had an expressionless face, and her voice was holy and calm.
From her tone, one could not tell that not long ago, she had fought Xuanqing fiercely, even resorting to self-destructing her famed magic treasure, to barely escape with her life.
Upon seeing this.
Xuanqing smiled slightly, and graciously didn't mention the previous enmity. Some things still needed to be respected on the surface to avoid being accused of pettiness.
"Boundless longevity and fortune, thank you Guanyin Dashi, have a seat… have a seat, today we have enough Ginseng Fruit, and Nine Thousand Years Flat Peaches!"
As he spoke.
Xuanqing pointed his fingers at the nine Ginseng Fruit Trees surrounding them, as well as the Flat Peach Divine Tree nearby.
Hearing these words.
Guanyin was slightly startled, and only then did she pay attention to her surroundings.
"Hiss-"
When she clearly saw these Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots around her, just like the immortals and the Dragon Clan before her, she couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"How is this possible? There are ten Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, each one unique…how can there be nine Ginseng Fruit Trees, and… the Flat Peach Divine Tree should be in the Jade Pool…"
A tidal wave of emotions surged in Guanyin's heart, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
She wanted to ask about it but then remembered that she was neither his superior nor his friend, and they even had deep enmity between them.
She could only suppress the shock in her heart.
After deeply looking at Xuanqing, she spoke quietly, "Master of the Primordial Beginning has impressive skills! This poor monk has urgent matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After speaking.
Whoosh-
A breeze blew by.
Guanyin rode on her tattered lotus platform and left Black Wind Mountain, leaving behind a Sumeru Bag containing the Arhat relics.
After Guanyin's departure.
On the square.
The guests couldn't help but discuss the matter.
They were all aware of the enmity between Xuanqing and the Buddha Court. Although it hadn't reached an irreconcilable point, it was already quite intense.
It must be said.
Though Xuanqing was a bit shameless and arrogant, he still had the demeanor he should have.
After a while.
A lucky cloud flew over and landed directly outside the Taoist temple.
On this lucky cloud, there were three figures standing. The leader had a rosy complexion, his beard and hair fluttered, and he wore a Taoist robe and walked with a Buddhist fly-whisk. As the breeze blew, he waved it gently, looking like a worldly expert.
The two others beside this Taoist were a pair of exquisite Taoist boys, each exuding an extraordinary Immortal Spirit Qi.
"Hahaha, long time no see, Daoist friend! I never thought that you have now established your Dao Court."
The visitor was Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals of Longevity Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple. The two Taoist boys beside Zhen Yuanzi were none other than Qingfeng and Mingyue.
It's worth mentioning.
As Xuanqing had now established his Dao Court, not only his own power and influence, but even his status were on par with the Tathagata, the Master of the Western Buddha Court.
So, the previous appellation 'young friend' has now changed to 'Daoist friend.' No matter what the private relationship between the two, the propriety on the surface had to be observed.
However.
Just like Guanyin.
Having just greeted and prepared to chat for some time…
Suddenly.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan's body trembled, his pupils quickly contracted, and he looked at the nine ginseng fruit trees planted around the martial arts arena.
Because of the Defense Formation of the Four Sacred Beasts, the aura of the mountains could be completely shielded without leaking, and only by truly stepping into the mountains could one feel the aura of these ginseng fruit trees and the Flat Peach Divine Tree.
"You… what is this…"
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, senior's presence graces our humble Black Wind Mountain, truly bringing glory to the Taichu Dojo."
"Please… take a seat quickly!"
Xuanqing clasped his hands and performed a salute, hand gestures placed on his chest.
Such an attitude, however, was in sharp contrast to the courtesy he had shown to Guanyin earlier, as it was a heartfelt welcome.
Even in terms of etiquette, although he was giving an equal ceremony, he still regarded himself as a junior in his speech and did not become arrogant and self-satisfied because he had opened a Dao Court.
Because the great immortal standing before him, even without mentioning his status, just the favors received along the way were unforgettable.
"Hmm… alright."
Great Immortal Zhenyuan regained his senses, his face still showing astonishment. As he was about to ask something, suddenly,
"Great Immortal, after the banquet is over, this junior will reminisce with senior!" Xuanqing's voice whispered in his mind.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan imperceptibly nodded, then stepped forward to the table at the top of the main hall, as his name was written on it.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the entire martial arts arena, all seats, besides being orderly arranged, had name tags on each table.
They were arranged according to the guests' identities and statuses.
The reason for doing this was to avoid resentments among the immortals of the Heavenly Court who might mistakenly take the wrong seats on this day of great celebration.
This was not Xuanqing's disdain for others, deliberately placing those with low status and weak positions at the end; rather, it was for their protection.
For example, if a little deity accidentally took the seat of a great god, would anyone else be comfortable with that?
Of course, that great god wouldn't dare to blame Xuanqing, but they would definitely keep that little deity in mind. If they were a little more cautious, they might even make things difficult for the little deity afterward.
Apart from Great Immortal Zhenyuan's episode.
Not much later.
Outside the Black Wind Mountain formation.
Three old immortals descended from heaven, all with white hair and beards, and rosy complexions, looking just like the image of old immortals from outside the world.
It was Zhang Daoling, Ge Hong, and Xu Xun, the three old Heavenly Masters of the human race.
When they flew to the outside of the mountain's protective formation, they stopped, waiting for the host in the mountain to receive them. It was impolite to force one's way into the formation without permission.
The reason they personally came down to offer their congratulations… was of course because they were both of the human race and Daoist courts.
There was a natural affinity between them, and they naturally wouldn't miss this grand occasion, so they brought gifts and came down in person.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing hurried up to greet them.
He had great respect for the three old seniors in his heart. Back when he was still studying in the real world, he had often heard his teacher tell stories about these three senior figures.
"Welcome, seniors, I didn't expect the three seniors to come in person, this junior is overjoyed, please come inside… please come inside-"
"Hahaha, Daoist friend, don't be too polite."
Zhang Daoling laughed heartily, and then took out a Sumeru bag from his arms and handed it over.
"Fellow Daoist, your Dao Court is newly established. These are some books from our three families. We offer them as congratulations, and we hope you won't find them distasteful."
Hearing this,
Xuanqing was overjoyed and quickly thanked, "Thank you, thank you, seniors. My humble self was just worried about establishing a scripture pavilion after opening the Dao Court and now this is such timely help!"
"Please come in, I have prepared ginseng fruit and nine thousand year flat peaches inside."
"Oh… In addition to ginseng fruit, there are even nine thousand year-old flat peaches?"
The three old Heavenly Masters were quite surprised.
Then, after a moment's thought, they had already heard that Daoist Xuanqing, not only had a close relationship with Zhen Yuanzi but also had connections with the Jade Pool Queen Mother.
Now that he could take out so many nine thousand year-old flat peaches as banquet food… it seemed the rumor was true, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out so many flat peaches.

A few moments later.
When the three Old Heavenly Masters stepped into the mountain, they were also quite shocked.
Of course, these details need not be elaborated.
After Xuanqing settled the three Old Heavenly Masters at the same table as Great Immortal Zhenyuan, he found that Black Wind Mountain had welcomed several more guests.
One of the guests… well… wasn't a person but a cow!
"Moo~"
With a cow's head and a human's body, its face was azure, wearing leather armor, and even with an iron ring on its wrist.
Upon seeing this scene,
Xuanqing apologized to the guests before going out to greet the newcomer.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Qing Niu!"
"Moo- Sir asked me to bring you something."
Old Cow spoke in a deep voice, not saying much, and directly took out a small jade bottle and a jade slip from his bosom.
After doing what Sir had asked, the old cow turned around and left.
"Ah, Senior Brother Qing Niu, what is this…"
Looking at the small jade bottle and jade slip floating in front of him, and the hastily departing Old Cow.
Xuanqing sighed bitterly and murmured helplessly, "This Senior Brother Qing Niu, in such a hurry, not even staying to eat a ginseng fruit, is it because he still remembers the enmity from the severed tail?"
Huh… could it be that he is rushing to become a demon?
A thought crossed his mind.
Counting the days-
That Fetching the Scriptures event of Shimon, after being delayed for so long, should have started by now, right?
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Xuanqing shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Perhaps for the big shots of the Three Realms, this Journey to the West was a crucial event, but for him, it didn't matter.
The Heavenly Merit the big shots sought could be easily exchanged with ingot, and as for the contest between Buddhism and Taoism during the journey, it didn't matter cither.
After all, his base was in the real world, and this Journey to the West World was, for him, more of a place to practice for Daoism only.
Returning to the banquet.
Xuanqing warmly greeted the uppermost tables.
At the top… sat Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the Star Lords of Taiyin and Taiyang, Universal Transcendence, Fu Lu Shou, and representatives of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's personal soldiers, and so on…
The table below was occupied by Star Lord Taibai, Lord Huo De, Erlang Perfected Xiansheng, Wind Lady… and other second-tier figures.
In the tables further back, were the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the three-rank and fourth-rank immortals from the Heavenly Court, the Ten Temples Yan Luo… and so on.
The last tier consisted of the land mountain gods of Black Wind Mountain, along with little demons and monsters.
It is worth mentioning that-
Qingwan, Black Bear Essence, Young Lord Bai She, Bai Ling'er… and so on, those who were Xuanqing's confidants, were not seated.
They were responsible for replenishing the ginseng fruit or flat peaches as needed at the various tables, ensuring that everything was in order.
There was a sequence to positions to prevent chaos.
"Today, thanks to the Master of the Primordial Beginning, we secluded cultivators can gather together."
"Hahaha, indeed, let's toast to the Master of the Primordial Beginning!"
"Master of the Primordial Beginning, I wish you to attain the Great Dao soon. Let's drink to this."
Xuanqing also replied with a smile to each.
Among them-
To Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the elder who had been of immense help to him, he also specifically offered a toast.
"Great Immortal, this junior is able to have achieved such success today in no small part thanks to your help. This junior offers you a toast." Xuanqing held the wine glass with the utmost sincerity and promised, "In the future, if there's anything the Great Immortal needs help with, as long as it doesn't violate any principles, even if it means sacrificing this life…"
At this point, his words paused momentarily.
"Even if I have to blow myself up, I'll do it!"
With this remark –
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, their hearts stirred, and they never expected that Daoist Xuanqing would be such a person of great loyalty and affection.
To repay his gratitude, he even pledged to forfeit his 'life' and 'self-destruct.'
Keep in mind-
For ordinary mortals, casually making a promise, even if they renege on it, would at most damage their reputation.
But for cultivators like them, the deeper their cultivation, the less likely they are to make promises, because all cultivation paths share the tenet of 'free-flowing heart.'
So… once a cultivator makes a promise, if they break it, they may suffer cultivation regression at best or be invaded by heart demons and never progress in cultivation at worst.
After hearing such words-
Grcat Immortal Zhenyuan's eyes turned slightly red, deeply moved in his heart.
Feeling overwhelmed with emotion, he stood up, placed his hands on Xuanqing's shoulders, and said tenderly:
"Good… good child, I didn't judge you wrongly."
"I, too, take this opportunity to make a vow." As he spoke, Great Immortal Zhenyuan glanced around, and then solemnly said:
"From now on, whoever is against young friend Xuanqing is against me, even if it means putting my life…"
Upon seeing this-
"No!" Xuanqing quickly grabbed Great Immortal Zhenyuan's sleeve, wanting to stop him from making the vow.
He knew his own situation, and his life was cheap, having died twice just recently, so he dared to make such a promise.
But it was different for Elder Zhenyuan, who had only one life. He had been like a relative since he began cultivating, and he didn't want the elder to make such a promise.
However-
The more he did this.
The more touched Great Immortal Zhenyuan was.
What a good child, not only did he make such a pledge but also tried to stop him.. How pure-hearted could he be?

Chapter 342: Chapter 283: A banquet more grand than the Flat Peach Banquet. _2
Translator: 549690339
To be honest.
This moment.
Great Immortal Zhenyuan feels that the greatest fortune in recent millennia is getting to know Daoist Xuanqing and forming a connection with him at his most modest moment.
Otherwise… how could he obtain someone as pure, honest, and grateful as him?
"Don't block me!"
Immortal Zhenyuan swings his sleeve, using the trapping divine technique within his sleeve universe, directly fixing Xuanqing in place.
"From today onwards, anyone who opposes young friend Xuanqing opposes me. Even if I risk my life, I will ensure they pay for it in blood!"
Boom-
A thunderclap echoes in the sky, as if the heavenly path is moved by the genuine nature of these two, or perhaps Heaven and Earth are recording their pledge.
In short… both their pledges have been made.
This moment.
Xuanqing looks helpless.
How did this situation… evolve into this?
However.
His heart is still truly moved. Regardless of whether Zhenyuan respects his accelerated divine power, sees his potential, the friendship is genuine, especially given the pledge he just made.
"Sigh, let it be, I'll explain to the great immortal after the banquet," Xuanqing shakes his head, thinking secretly.
For a while.
The entire banquet is harmonious, maybe affected by Xuanqing and Zhenyuan's sincere feelings, the immortals at the banquet are reminded of their own emotions.
It's often said that liquor doesn't intoxicate, people intoxicate themselves. Ginseng fruit wine isn't strong enough to get immortals drunk, but it could intoxicate their hearts.
In the end.
This banquet… lasted for several months, with thousands of ginseng fruits consumed and countless nine-thousand-year-old flat peaches.
No banquet doesn't come to an end.
However!
When these immortals left… they couldn't help but reflect, it truly was a perfect banquet, even more intoxicating than the Heavenly Court's Peach Banquet.
After seeing off all the guests except Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
Xuanqing takes Zhenyuan to the guest room.
After entering the guest room.
Xuanqing pours Zhenyuan a cup of tea, then raises an eyebrow and asks: "Great Immortal, are you curious about the origin of my ginseng fruit trees?"
"Daoist, you really are generous, with nine ginseng fruit trees and one flat peach divine tree."
Zhenyuan sighs: "These are the top 10 Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual roots, it's unimaginable that so many would appear one day."
"Truthfully, if I said I didn't want to know, that would definitely be false."
"But, if you consider it a secret and inconvenient to reveal, then pretend I didn't ask, ha ha ha~"
Speaking of which.
Zhenyuan laughs heartily.
Who doesn't have secrets in this world? If you're overly curious and like to pry, I'm afraid your lifespan… won't be very long-
Who knows.
Xuanqing waves his hand, with no intention of concealing anything.
"To be frank Great Immortal, I possess a divine power that can seize the wonders of the world. No matter the treasure, as long as I imprint it once, it can be replicated."
"However, realizing the imprinted objects… requires a heavy price."
As he says this.
Xuanqing shrugs and points to the ginseng fruit trees planted around the Martial Arts Arena outside the room.
"I've saved up for quite a while, and only managed to realize these Heavenly and Earthly spiritual roots."
Upon hearing this.
Zhenyuan looks odd.
Just?… That's it?…
There are ten Heavenly and Earthly spiritual roots outside, is it really appropriate to describe them with the words 'just' and 'that's it'?
"Sigh, I must admit."
"Don't know what race your true form is, but your divine power of accelerating the growth of Heavenly and Earthly spiritual roots is extraordinary."
"Now… you also possess the divine power of replicating everything, an illogical power that makes me extremely envious."
While Zhenyuan feeling amazed, he's also moved.
In his view, such an important secret, yet the other party reveals it to him without any precautions, is the other party dumb?
If he's truly dumb, how could he cultivate up to this point, but if he's not, then there's only one possibility, the other party utterly trusts him, treating him like a true elder, even a family member.
It turns out life is indeed unpredictable.
Everyone envies him for owning a Ginseng Fruit Tree and for having the Qiankun in his sleeves, but compared to young friend Xuanqing, all those seem unimportant.
After some thought,
Great Immortal Zhenyuan comforted: "Young friend Xuanqing, as the saying goes, a man is criminal if he carries a treasure, with your astonishing Divine Powers, should you expose them…"
His words were unfinished, but his intention was clear.
However,
Xuanqing didn't care, he just shook his head, and then counter-asked: "Speaking of which, since I started cultivating, I have friends all over the world. The only issue is with that Shimen."
"Now that my Dao Court has been established, I am not inferior to Tathagata in terms of status. Could it be that Tathagata in his Shimen dares to make a move against me?"
"He dares!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan immediately smacked the table, coldly humphed saying: "If that Sakyamuni dares to act against you, I will definitely fight him to the death!"
Although his Cultivation is a bit inferior to Tathagata, as the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, he is not weak when he is in the realm of Earth Immortals, relying on the advantage of the terrain.
"Young friend Xuanqing, for taking care of me so, it really makes me feel ashamed. In the future, if you still call me… young friend, would it be okay?"
Xuanqing was somewhat moved and immediately suggested.
Upon hearing this,
Great Immortal Zhenyuan hesitated slightly, yet immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing that young friend Xuanqing treated him this way, how could he let down the other's good intentions?
Several days later,
At the entrance to the Black Wind Mountain,
Xuanqing bade farewell to Great Immortal Zhenyuan together with Qingfeng and Mingyue.
"Great Immortal, the friendship between us need not be discussed again. In the future, if there is anything you need, I hope you won't hesitate."
"Hahaha, well said, young friend, hold on, I'll be too!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and waved the Duster in his hand, creating a space tunnel.
"Senior Brother Xuanqing, we will take our leave!" Qingfeng and Mingyue also cupped their fists and gave a salute to Xuanqing.
Because the relationship between Xuanqing and Great Immortal Zhenyuan had become closer, they changed their address to Senior Brother Xuanqing.
"Take care!"
Xuanqing clasped his fist in salute, watching as Great Immortal Zhenyuan left.
Back in the secret room of the Taoist temple,
Xuanqing sat cross-legged.
He waved his right hand, took out a pile of Sumeru Bags from the Game Backpack, along with some special treasures that could not be put into Sumeru Bags.
This banquet cost him thousands of Ginseng Fruits, but he harvested innumerable treasures from the Three Realms.
With this wave, the variety in his 'Game Mall' could be greatly increased.
"Upload to the Mall!"
Xuanqing casually picked up a crystal stone that emitted faint light and silently said in his heart.
[Product uploading…i%….2%…3O%…56%…ioo/o!]
[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful. Mall increment: Nine-Leaf Fire
Essence Crystal (9W)]
"Continue to upload!"
Xuanqing put the Nine-Leaf Fire Essence Crystal into the Game Backpack, and picked up something that looked like a tree branch from the front.
A moment later.
[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful. Mall increment: Thousand-Year Merit Treasure Branch (2W)]
Just like that,
One treasure after another was uploaded into the Game Mall.
The entire upload process lasted a full month, and only then were all miscellaneous items uploaded into the Mall.
"By the way, there are the things that Uncle Teacher sent through Senior Brother Qing Niu."
Xuanqing had a thought in his heart.
The next moment,
A small jade bottle of forest green and a jade slip shining faintly were floating in front of him.
First, he held the small jade bottle in his hand.
Splash-
Upon opening the stopper,
Suddenly,
A strong medicinal aroma filled the entire room.
Xuanqing's body shook upon smelling it and he noticed an increase in his Power of the Soul. Note that he hadn't begun cultivating in the Yin-Yang Realms yet..

Chapter 343: Chapter 284: The Essence of Time is Particle Collision!
Translator: 549690339
This was equivalent to just smelling the scent, which forcibly increased the upper limit of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage's cultivation by a small margin. Divine thought entered the jade bottle.
In front of him, there were two elixirs, one black and one white. They exuded an incredibly profound aura that even with his current cultivation, he could barely see through.
However.
For Xuanqing, no matter what it was, his first priority was always to upload it to the Game Mall.
Then.
Xuanqing took out the black elixir, held it in his hand, and whispered…
"Upload!"
[Uploading…o.i%….o.2%….o.4%…o.5%….]
Unexpectedly,
The upload speed of this Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill was very slow. In about a quarter of an hour, it barely reached 0.1%.
Converted to real-world time, that would be 15 minutes for 0.1%, and only 0.3% per hour.
"So, this elixir takes thirteen days?"
Xuanqing calculated silently in his heart.
When it comes to cultivation, time flies like a thousand years. Although he wasn't the type to cultivate diligently for thousands of years, he could still wait for more than a dozen days.
Thirteen days passed in the blink of an eye.
[Beep- Congratulations, upload successful, Store increment: Extreme Yin Nine-Turn Divine Pill (10,000)]
A notification sounded in his mind.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
"Check the Extreme Yin Nine-Turn Divine Pill!"
[Extreme Yin Nine-Turn Divine Pill: An elixir containing Yin-Yang Law, the ultimate "Yin" Rule power. When ingested, it can greatly enhance the comprehension of the Yin Rule.
"Improve comprehension of the Yin Rule?"
In an instant.
Xuanqing understood.
This thing was given to him by Ancestor Master through Senior Brother Qing Niu, which combined with his current cultivation, would perfectly complete the Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage.
After this cultivation… it would be practicing the Yin-Yang Realms, mastering the rules of the Yin and Yang Realms completely.
Since this 'black pill' is to enhance the Yin Rule… it's not difficult to guess that the white pill must be used to enhance the Yang Rule.
The next moment.
Xuanqing took out the white elixir, held it in his hand and whispered…
"Upload!"
Just like when he uploaded the black elixir before.
It wasn't until thirteen days had passed that the quantifier's notification sounded in his mind.
[Beep- Congratulations, upload successful, Store increment: Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill (10,000)]
Sure enough.
The black one was the 'Extreme Yin Nine-Turn Divine Pill', and the white one was, as he had guessed, called the 'Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill.' With a thought in his heart.
"Check the Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill!"
[Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill: An elixir containing the Yin-Yang Law… the ultimate 'Yang' Rule power, which can greatly enhance the comprehension of the Yang Rule when ingested.
Xuanqing's face showed a knowing expression.
These two elixirs had no difference in their description other than the words "Yin" and "Yang."
Besides that,
To exchange for this kind of elixir, it required consuming 'ten thousand' Heavenly Merit. If calculated in terms of Incense Fire Ingots, that would be ten million.
For him in the past, this would have been a huge number, but now his foundation in the real world generates several tens of millions of ingots every day, so it's not a big deal.
"Apart from these elixirs, there's also this jade slip!"
After collecting the elixirs in his Game Backpack, Xuanqing turned his gaze to the jade slip suspended in the air.
There were two items given by the Ancestor Master. The small jade bottle contained Yin and Yang elixirs, but he didn't know what was in the jade slip…
The divine thought went out.
Humming-
In an instant,
A vast amount of information about "Alchemy" flooded his mind.
Although this information was extremely vast, with his current Perfect Five Qi Chaoyuan Stage, there was nothing but a slight headache and no other reactions.
Xuanqing closed his eyes, and in a short time absorbed this information.
"It's actually Ancestor Master's Pill Refining Art!"
Among these pill refining methods, there was the method to refine 'Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Nine-Turn Divine Pills', which used several semi-chaos materials.
"No wonder it was said that this elixir needs to be purchased with Heavenly Merit. It involves Chaos Level materials."
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
He had now figured out some rules about the Game Mall.
In the Store, if a purchase didn't involve the 'Chaos' level, the unit used for buying would be Ingots.
But once the product involved the 'Chaos' level, whether it was a half-step chaos or a true Chaos Level, they couldn't be bought with ingots. They had to be converted into Heavenly Merit first, and then purchased with Heavenly Merit.
"For me, this pill is quite good, as it can be bought directly with Heavenly Merit."
"As for the Pill Refining Art in this jade slip…"
Xuanqing shook his head.
Honestly,
With the Game Mall, there was no need for him to dabble in pill refining.
As long as he had one elixir, after uploading it to the Mall, it was equivalent to having countless elixirs.
However, the way of pill refining was not simple and easy to learn. To have a certain level of achievement, the time it consumed would be calculated in millennia.
More importantly, the time spent learning to refine pills was mental work, and it couldn't be accelerated using time acceleration.
He didn't have so much time to waste on the art of alchemy. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to cultivate and improve his cultivation?
'I will copy one for Qingxu later..'

Xuanqing thought to himself.
Back in the day, Gentleman Bai She established a reputation equal to that of Black Bear Essence with only the bloodline of an ordinary snake, thanks to his skills in alchemy.
Having organized everything,
With a thought,
Check the character panel!" Xuanqing whispered to himself.
[Name:Xuanqing
[Physique:Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade:Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation:Yin-Yang Realms (Early Stage)
[Cultivation Method: Food-Qi Decree
[Divine Ability:Fate Dragon Control Chapter (Infinite), Heavenly Thirty-six Methods (Perfection), Five Element Array (Perfection)….
[Ingots:68.2E
It's worth mentioning that,
On the character panel, the original long string of 'grades' has changed, leaving only the four characters 'Master of the Primordial Beginning'.
This… could also be considered the highest level that someone in the Daoist school could attain.
In the ingot column…
Only 6.8 billion remains.
Originally he had 38 billion, but the creation of the Dao Court consumed 20 billion as an initial investment, trading for nine Ginseng Fruit Trees and one Flat Peach Divine Tree cost one billion.
Later, he merged two fake Eight Trigram Furnaces into a real one, consuming 10 billion ingots to exchange for Origin Points.
Plus the miscellaneous usage of time acceleration and such, it came down to just 6.8 billion in the end.
"One Yin-Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill costs 10 million ingots, and with my 6.8 billion ingots, I can buy 680 pieces."
Xuanqing pondered slightly.
He wasn't sure about the effectiveness of this elixir, and how many pills were needed to achieve perfection in the cultivation of Yin and Yang rules.
"Let's give it a try first."
The next moment.
He turned his palm and took out the white 'Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill'.
"Hoo~"
Concentrating.
Xuanqing took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.
In an instant.
A mysterious and indescribable sensation surged into his heart, and the Five Qi Chaoyuan in his body started to operate spontaneously at this moment.
The Five Elements and Yin-Yang are the most basic rules of Heaven and Earth's operation.
Among them, the Five Elements rules form the particles of all things, while Yin and Yang represent space and time, respectively.
Particles combined with space and time form the most basic elements of a world, and on this basis, they evolve into various distinctive and splendid worlds.
Yin represents… space.
Yang represents… time!
'Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill'
Is an elixir used for comprehending Yang rules, and upon consumption can greatly enhance the God Soul's perception of 'time'.
At this moment.
Xuanqing's eyes were closed tightly.
After swallowing the Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill, his senses perceived that the entire world had undergone tremendous changes.
He could clearly sense that countless small particles were trembling and colliding around him.
And in this process, these particles underwent tremendous changes, transforming towards increasing entropy and decay.
However.
This sensation didn't last long before it disappeared.
"Hm?"
Xuanqing frowned slightly.
The next moment.
"Purchase ten Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills."
[Beep… -1E ingot!]
With the deduction of 100 million ingots, ten snowy white elixirs appeared in his game backpack.
Without any hesitation.
Xuanqing opened his palm, took out an Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill from the game backpack, and swallowed it.
After the pill entered his stomach.
That mysterious feeling continued from just now.
In this way.
Each time the sensation disappeared, it meant that the effect of an Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill was exhausted, and he would take another pill from the game backpack and swallow it.
Gradually.
As time passed,
Xuanqing gained an insight in his heart.
It turned out.
Time… was precisely the collision between particles, or more accurately, the movement of the basic particles that make up the world and its various things. For some reason,
Xuanqing released his God Soul.
He could see.
Upon seeing a weed on Black Wind Mountain, after ingesting the Nine-Turns Extreme Yang Divine Pill, this ordinary weed had turned into countless colorful small particles.
And moreover,
These small particles constantly collided with each other in a unique way.
In this collision process, small particles were constantly consumed and new ones were continually replenished.
Ultimately,
The particles that originally formed the weed, through the process of replenishment, consumption, further replenishment, and further consumption, became a whole new kind of particle.
At this moment, the medicinal effect of the last Extreme Yang Nine-Turns Divine Pill… disappeared!
Unlike before, after the medicinal effect disappeared this time…
Dizziness!
An intense dizzy sensation instantly swept through his mind.
"Hmm…."
Xuanqing opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and his stomach tumbled as feelings of nausea, dizziness, and the urge to vomit surfaced.
It's hard to imagine.
With his current cultivation and physical body, he would still experience a mortal-like reaction, which was simply unbelievable.
Subsequently,
Xuanqing, despite feeling unwell, once again released his divine soul and found the weed he had just observed.
"Huh…?"
The scene observed by his divine soul left him slightly stunned.
The original verdant weed disappeared, leaving behind only a patch of slightly darker black soil, which had already decomposed and become nutrients for the earth.
Upon witnessing this,
Xuanqing understood.
It turns out,
The mysterious scene he had observed through his divine soul, the continuous collision of particles, and the process of new particles replacing old ones was… time.
"So…"
"Time is nothing but the movement of fundamental particles, the entropy increase and replacement between them," Xuanqing's eyes grew brighter.
"This means that by observing the particle movement rules, it's essentially observing time. If one interferes with the movement of particles, it is tantamount to interfering with time."
"However… it's probably not accurate to say this."
"Time should be divided into two types, one being the relatively self-time, that is, the movement of self-particles."
"And the other would be the movement of non-self particles…"
Xuanqing furrowed his brows.
Thoughts collided in his mind, and without realizing it, he had even activated the 'Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom' function.
The so-called 'self-time flow rate' and 'non-self-time flow rate' have no essential difference, what's different… lies in the standpoint.
For example,
Taking Xuanqing as the reference.
If he used one year of time acceleration on himself,
Then… he would have accelerated his 'self-time flow rate' by one year.
Would the external world's time change because of his acceleration? It shouldn't, right?
This… is self-time flow rate, also known as 'self-particle movement.'
On the contrary,
If Xuanqing cast a 10,000-year time acceleration on a 'Ginseng Fruit Tree',
Then… from Xuanqing's standpoint, or even the standpoint of the whole world, this ginseng fruit tree would have instantly accelerated its particles' movement by 10,000 years.
This is non-self-time flow rate, also known as 'non-self-particle movement.'
In this way,
As Xuanqing delved into the perception of time, time quietly slipped away.
One month later,
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing woke up again, his eyes gleaming faintly.
Then,
He raised his right hand and casually grabbed a weed from the ground, making it float in mid-air.
"Activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom."
The next moment,
The ordinary weed in his eyes transformed into various combinations of particles, and every collision of particles was clearly visible.
"Accelerate!"
Xuanqing's mouth slightly curved upward, and he silently chanted in his heart.
Something magical happened.
As it turned out, the weed in the palm of his hand… which could also be called the combination of particles that made up the weed, started to tremble and collide continuously at a speed that was a hundred times faster than before.
In other words… a hundred times acceleration!
However,
This hundred times acceleration… only lasted for a short period.
Puff-
Accompanied by a muffled sound,
The weed in his hand exploded and turned into powder. It then vanished with the passing breeze.
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled lightly but didn't seem to mind.

If you want to know.
He wasn't using the 'time acceleration' feature of the quantifier just now, but rather, he was genuinely using the means of interfering particles to accelerate that weed.
Although the acceleration just now failed, it represents that his direction is correct, and he just needs to continue practicing in this direction.
So… mastering time rules is just a matter of time.
-However, even with the help of the Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill, it will still take a long time to master the time rules."
"If only there was a way to shorten this process!
Xuanqing was deep in thought.
in this more than one month's time, he had absorbed eleven Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills. Although he had found the direction of time rules, mastering it was still far away.
-After swallowing the Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill, the main effect is to enhance the ability to comprehend rules. In this case, we cannot use time acceleration."
If we practice in this ordinary way, it would take hundreds of years for a single Yin or Yang rule, and over a thousand years without assistance from the divine pills."
Xuanqing frowned.
This thousand years or so is based on the continuous use of 'Yin and Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills', which would take 'ten thousand years' if there were no divine pills to help in cultivation.
Just think about it.
Among the powerhouses of the Three Realms, who hasn't cultivated for tens of thousands of years or even experienced countless reincarnations to have their current cultivation level?
If he did not take elixirs,
Xuanqing's ability to achieve perfection within ten thousand years is due to the fact that he possesses the heaven-defying lineage of 'Chaos Virtue'.
As he pondered over a solution,
Suddenly.
A flash of insight hit Xuanqing's mind.
"I almost forgot that after setting up the Dao Court, the login quantifier has opened a fusion upgrade function. Why not give it a try and see if we can fusion upgrade these Yin and Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills?"
Thinking so, he immediately put his plan into action. •Exchange two thousand Heavenly Merits, and then use Heavenly Merits to purchase two Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills." Xuanqing whispered.
[Beep…-2000W ingots!]
With the deduction of ingots, two snow-white Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills appeared in his Game Backpack.
Xuanqing turned his palm over and took out the two Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills.
"Fusion Upgrade!"
[Fusion Upgrade Failed!]
[Friendly reminder: Your remaining Origin Points are less than io pomts.
Please recharge and exchange them before performing fusion upgrades again!]
Hearing the prompt in his mind,
Xuanqing's eyes lit up.
Sure enough.
The Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills can be fusion upgraded, although the price is a bit high, requiring a full 10 Origin Points.
One Origin Point requires a hundred million ingots, and the fusion upgrade requires ten Origin Points, which is equivalent to ten billion ingots plus twenty million to exchange for the elixir.
Ten billion twenty million… The consumption is a bit high, but… it's still acceptable!"
Xuanqing quietly calculated.
Then he whispered in his heart…:
"Exchange ten Origin Points."
[Beep… -ioE ingots!] Everything is ready except for the finishing touch!
Without any hesitation,
Xuanqing put the two Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills together and whispered in his heart again… "Fusion Upgrade!"
In an instant.
The two elixirs emitted strong light and turned into two beams of light, intertwining and continuously touching and spinning.
[Fusion Upgrade Successful! Please check!]
Hearing the prompt in his mind,
Xuanqing's body shook.
He immersed his mind in the Game Backpack and saw an elixir with a faint glow and a mysterious pattern engraved on it.
With a thought,
He took the elixir out of the Game Backpack.
"Check!"
[Name: Chaos Extreme Yang Pill
[Grade: First Grade Chaos Pill
[Usage: After consumption, automaticaUy comprehend the Extreme Yang Rules of Heaven and Earth.
Tsk, tsk.
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, after fusing and upgrading two ordinary Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills, it turned into a 'Chaos Level' elixir.
If you want to know.
Whether it's magic treasures or elixirs, when they reach the 'Chaos' grade, when he checks their information again…an individual panel will be automatically generated.
Just like the two previous Eight Trigrams Furnaces (Fake), after fusing and upgrading, their grade was upgraded to a First-Class Chaotic Magical Instrument, and now, they have individual information panels.
What's more important is,
These two words in the introduction of the Chaos Extreme Yang Pill' are tailor-made for him.
After taking it, will automaticaUy… comprehend Extreme Yang Rules of
Heaven and Earth?"
"Automatically… Comprehend…"
Xuanqing repeated these two words.
The more he recited them, the brighter his eyes.
The word 'automatic' means that as long as he takes the elixir, he doesn't need to actively control it and his comprehension of the Extreme Yang rules…that is, time rules, will passively and automatically increase.
Not to mention how much more potent this fusion upgraded elixir is compared to before.
Just relying on this automatic comprehension feature,
Does it mean that he can use the login quantifier's 'time acceleration' function after taking the elixir?
Since obtaining the quantifier, he has been using it all along.
Xuanqing has basically explored all of its functions.
For example, this 'time acceleration' function,
It can only be applied to certain situations where something 'passively increases with the passage of time..'
If it requires his active participation to improve, using time acceleration would be useless..

Translator: 549690339
With this thought in mind.
"Let's give it a try!"
Xuanqing took out the fusion upgraded Chaos Extreme Yang Pill from the Game Backpack and then swallowed it head back.
Gululu-
After the Elixir went down.
In an instant.
That mysterious feeling surged up in his mind, even stronger than before, wave after wave forcibly pouring into his brain.
This is the passive absorption of the Extreme Yang Rules of Heaven and Earth.
There was no need for him to control it, it's like feeding him directly.
"Huh-"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, trying not to think about time rules, but they were still pouring into his mind incessantly.
"Use time acceleration for one day."
[Beep… -too Ingot!]
The moment the ingots were deducted, the Time Acceleration feature was activated.
Humming'
Even more intense fluctuations emerged, but they disappeared in just an instant, apparently the impact of one day's time acceleration was too slight.
After calculating it in his heart, Xuanqing tried to increase the efficacy.
"Use time acceleration for one month."
[Beep… -3000 Ingot!]
The next moment.
An entire month's time elapsed in a very short time, and the effect of Chaos Extreme Yang Pill passively brought him more rules on 'Extreme Yang, Time'.
"Huh… One month of acceleration, the God Soul swells slightly, it seems… The limit should be around forty days of time acceleration, if it exceeds this number, the God Soul won't be able to withstand it."
Based on the previous use of 'One day' and the current 'One month' time acceleration feature.
Xuanqing deduced this result.
After a brief rest.
"Use one month time acceleration."
[Beep… -3000 Ingot.]
Although the limit state is forty days, doing so would undoubtedly be very painful, and there will only be harm and no benefit to his body and mind. After a tea break.
One month of time acceleration effect ended.
At the same time.
After two months of time acceleration, the effect of this Chaos Extreme Yang
Pill had all been played out.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
He could clearly feel that after digesting this Chaos Extreme Yang Pill, compared to before, his comprehension of the 'time' rules had increased several times.
This means that the fusion upgraded Chaos Extreme Yang Pill has several times the efficacy of the previous ordinary Extreme Yang Nine Revolutions Pill.
"Not only can I use time acceleration, but the efficacy is also several times stronger… Although it consumes a bit more, it's worth it!" Xuanqing exclaimed. "Check Ingot balance."
[Beep… Available Ingot balance: 57.6E.)
Originally had sixty-eight billion, exchanging for elixir only cost twenty million, but fusion upgrade cost a full ten billion.
"I have enough Ingots for only five practice sessions."
Xuanqing pondered for a moment and muttered softly, "It seems it's time to return to the real world and harvest some incense."
Not only that.
After returning to reality this time, he intends to focus on developing incense to cope with his increasingly larger secondary account.
He wasn't in a hurry before because there was more than enough incense.
But now it's different.
The two hundred million elixir and ten billion fusion upgrades, only one practice session consumes over one billion.
If he still wants to practice 'Yin-Yang Realms' to perfection like before, he probably would have to wait until the flowers withered.
Just as Xuanqing was thinking about it.
Suddenly.
An ingenious idea emerged in Xuanqing's mind.
This may be a way to exploit the 'BUG'.
"I can try if I can upload the fusion upgraded 'Chaos Extreme Yang Pill' to the
Store and see how much Ingot is needed."
"If it only takes the Ingot of two elixirs, wouldn't each pill save ten billion?"
Of course.
The previous fusion upgraded elixir had already been consumed by him, so trying again would require another exchange.
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing silently recited in his heart, "Purchase two Extreme Yang Nine
Rotation Divine Pills, exchange for ten Origin Points."
[Beep… -2000W Ingot!]
[Beep… -10E Ingot!]
After deducting the Ingots and receiving the Origin Points, Xuanqing immersed his mind in the Backpack and silently recited to the two purchased elixirs:
"Use fusion upgrade."
Both elixirs emitted a strong light, then collided and intertwined with each other, gradually merging into one, and finally transforming into a brand new elixir.
Moments later.
With a thought.
Xuanqing opened the palm of his hand and took out the newly fusion upgraded elixir from the Game Backpack.
"Upload to the Store!"
[BEEP…Uploading…o.l/o….o.2%….]
The upload progress bar is moving very slowly.
Regarding this,
Xuanqing is understanding.
Because this 'Chaos Extreme Yang Pill' has reached the 'First Grade Chaos' realm.
According to past experience, anything with the word 'Chaos' in it would have its upload speed and progress become as slow as a snail.
He is not in a hurry.
After waiting for a full two months,
Finally,
The uploaded successful notification sounded in his mind.
[BEEP- Congratulations, upload successful, Store increment: Chaos Extreme Yang Pill(i02W)]
"Finally succeeded, but…."
Xuanqing's expression is bizarre.
Without having to think about it, he knows that the '102W' behind the Chaos Extreme Yang Pill is definitely not in Ingots, let alone Origin Points.
In that case,
There is only one possibility, that is, one million and twenty thousand Heavenly Merits, which is equivalent to one billion and twenty million Ingots.
Thinking like this in his mind,
Xuanqing muttered to himself, "Open the Game Store."
Subsistence Pill (7)
Basic Breathing Exercise (too)
Taoist Novice Suit (100)
Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach (500W Ingots)
Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pill (1W Heavenly Merits)
Ginseng Fruit Tree Seedling (10W Heavenly Merits)
Chaos Divine Pill (102W Heavenly Merits)
As expected,
Looking at the items in the Game Store,
Xuanqing helplessly shook his head.
It seems… what he could think of, the Game Store would not…. leave such an obvious loophole.
"Although it isn't a loophole, it is much more convenient to buy."
Xuanqing's expression was gloomy, and he whispered to himself softly.
Originally, he had to first buy two Extreme Yang Nine Revolutions Divine Pills, then exchange Origin Points for fusion upgrading, and finally perform fusion upgrading.
The process was a bit cumbersome.
Now, by consuming one billion twenty million Ingots, he can directly buy a fused Chaos Extreme Yang Pill, which is more convenient than before, even though the price remains the same.
"Purchase four Chaos Extreme Yang Pills."
Xuanqing muttered to himself.
[BEEP… -40E Ingots]
Along with the deduction of Ingots, four Elixir-like pills exuding a milky-white glow appeared in his Game Backpack.
Together with the one in his hand, he now had a total of five Chaos Extreme Yang Pills.
"Continue practicing and use up these five first!"
Xuanqing sat cross-legged and subsequently swallowed the pill in his hand.
Gulp-
"Use one-month time acceleration."
[BEEP…. -3000 Ingots!]
Time acceleration feature activated. The immense power of the Extreme Yang Rules gushed out instantly like a dam releasing floodwaters.
The information contained in the power of the rules was extremely vast, and the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Rules within the power of the rules were even more overbearing.
Even for Xuanqing, after using a month of acceleration, he would feel a headache and dizziness.
Moments later,
The one-month effect disappeared.
After a slight rest,
"Use one month of time acceleration," Xuanqing muttered again.
Like this,
In the following time, each acceleration was based on a one-month unit, and after two accelerations, the medicinal effect would dissipate before he took another Chaos Extreme Yang Pill.
Such a cycle was repeated with ten accelerations, and the five Chaos Extreme Yang Pills that he had exchanged were completely digested and absorbed.
"Phew-" Xuanqing opened his eyes, rubbed the sides of his forehead, and his expression was extremely exhausted.
In just half a day,
The five Chaos Extreme Yang Pills were all digested and absorbed, and his understanding of the 'time' rule had also been greatly strengthened.
However,
Although he had made quite a progress, he still had no idea how far he was from breaking through to the Perfect Extreme Yang Rule.
Xuanqing frowned slightly.
After thinking for a moment,
"Can I inquire about the progress of my current practice of the Extreme Yang Rule?"

Hearing the prompt in his mind.
Xuanqing was a little bewildered.
Soon after.

[Ingot:?.iE
"Six Chaos Extreme Yang Pills only increased the progress by…"
Unexpectedly, after consuming six Chaos Extreme Yang Pills, the progress of
Extreme Yang Rules only increased by 3%, which meant that one pill raised it by 0.5%.
To achieve Perfection in the 'Yang' aspect of Yin-Yang Realms, at least 200 Chaos Extreme Yang Pills would be needed.
"One Chaos Extreme Yang Pill… requires one billion and twenty million. For two hundred pills, that's two thousand billion and forty billion!"
"Hiss-"
Xuanqing couldn't help but gasp for breath.
He didn't realize how expensive it would be until he calculated the cost, which gave him a fright.
This is only the 'Yang' rule, not to mention the 'Yin' rule, wouldn't it require a whopping four trillion ingots?
At this moment.
Xuanqing, who originally felt wealthy, suddenly felt poor, and not just poor but utterly destitute.
Keep in mind.
Ever since he began practicing cultivation, he had only accumulated hundreds of billions so far. Compared to the amount of four trillion, he seemed extremely impoverished.
However.
Xuanqing soon calmed his emotions.
"It seems that I have no choice but to put in a good effort… to develop the incense belief of the Water Blue Star."
"There are 7 billion people on the Water Blue Star, and if they all believe in me, it would bring in hundreds of billions of ingots every day."
"A mere four trillion, is nothing but ten days and a half of work.
Xuanqing stood up, his eyes gazing at the distant sky, but his heart had already made up its mind.
Previously.
He didn't pay much attention to the development of the Water Blue Star's faith.
The reasons for this were.
First, he didn't want to disrupt the original order of the Water Blue Star simply to gain ingots, after all, the Water Blue Star was his home.
Secondly, since he started cultivating, he has never lacked ingots. In fact, most of the time, he even had a surplus.
But the situation is different now.
Compared to breaking through his cultivation and attaining the Great Dao, throwing the Water Blue Star into chaos is a minor concern.
Besides, he has now established the Taiji Hall and has a large number of subordinates who can contain the chaos within a certain scope.
"First, establish the structure of the Taichu Dojo, and then return to the real world, focus on expanding the incense belief."
Having thought so in his heart.
Xuanqing's God Soul spread out, covering the entire Black Wind Country with his current soul strength.
"All of you… come outside the Taichu Hall!"
Using the Power of the Soul, he sent a Secret Sound Transmission to all his subordinate gods.
In an instant!
The entire Black Wind Country was in turmoil.
This was the first time since the Taichu Dojo was established that Xuanqing had gathered all his subordinates, and it was obvious that something big was happening.
All the creatures belonging to the Taichu Dojo, the moment they received the transmission, regardless of what they were doing, even if they were in the middle of passing on their genes, hesitated no further. They stopped what they were doing, fixed their appearance, and hurriedly flew towards Black Wind Sacred Mountain.
Four hours later.
Outside the Taichu Hall.
Thousands of creatures, according to their positions and rankings, stood neatly in a row.
The ones in the front were the original elders who followed Xuanqing, such as Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, Bai Ling'er, and several City God Deities… etc.
The next group were the human audience of the various Taoist temples of the Black Wind Country. Since the establishment of the Taichu Dojo, these people were now considered as representatives of Taichu Dao in the secular world.
The last tier consisted of ordinary Mountain Gods and Earth Gods, as well as small demons and monsters who pledged allegiance to the Black Ice Mountain. They usually did various odd jobs and relied on the "low guarantee" provided by Black Wind Mountain's incense to survive, most of them having very low cultivation and no special skills.
On the high platform.
Xuanqing stood with his hands behind him, his eyes gazing at the crowd under his command.
Without realizing it.
He had already established such a foundation in this world, and while not boasting the most powerful underlings when compared to the top powerhouses of the Three Realms, they were still a formidable force.
Especially Gentleman Bai She, with his Destiny Golden Dragon Body, brought tremendous combat power to Taichu Dojo, making him the current top expert.
"Today, I've gathered you all for the following matters.
Being a cultivator, naturally, he wouldn't beat around the bush. Xuanqing directly stated the purpose of gathering everyone.
"At the beginning of the Dojo's creation, I wanted to establish the Pill Pavilion, Scripture Pavilion, and the Spirit Medicine and Rare Beast Garden…"
Xuanqing explained leisurely.
When a dojo was first established, it wouldn't be difficult if it already had a foundation in "sects" or "schools." Once it had been established, expansion would follow.
However, in the case of his Black Wind Mountain, with a short development time and not much in place besides several major subordinates and a secular empire, virtually everything had to be built from scratch.
So.
Xuanqing's goal was to build the basic structure of a dojo.
He looked at the leader among his subordinates, Gentleman Bai She, and said solemnly: "Qingxu, step forward and listen to the decree!"

Translator: 549690339
"Disciple Qingxu… present!" Gentleman Bai She stepped forward, holding his fists with both hands and kneeling on one knee.
"I hereby confer upon you the title of Imperial Commander of the Household Registration Department in the Taichu Dojo and the Master of the Pill Pavilion, entitling you to the treatment of a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu, with an annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits."
Daoist Xuanqing said in a clear voice.
As soon as these words were spoken.
An annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits?
"Hiss-"
Some of the knowledgeable people among the audience were shocked and gasped in disbelief when they heard this conferment. They never expected that Qingxu's salary would be Heavenly Merits.
It must be known that in the Three Realms, the 'Innate Merit' distributed by the Heavenly Court is already the lifelong pursuit of most cultivators.
As for the ' Heavenly Merit', it has always been the exclusive domain of the big shots in the Three Realms, something people at their level dare not even touch.
And now?
Qingxu doesn't need to do anything, and he can receive thousands of Heavenly Merits as his annual salary.
If this were known to those big shots who were always calculating to gain a bit of Heavenly Merit, they would be utterly humiliated.
Regardless of the audience's astonishment, the enfeoffment continues.
Daoist Xuanqing's eyes turned to a completely black figure, as if he had just come out of a coal mine.
"Black Bear, step forward to accept your enfeoffment!"
"Hehe, I…Disciple Black Bear…am here!"
The Black Bear Essence happily hurried forward, mimicking the way Little Brother Bai She had just acted, holding his fists with both hands and kneeling on one knee.
Tsktsk
It has to be said that the Black Bear Essence is not only rough in appearance, but also careless in character.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he still uses the name 'Black Bear' after joining Black Wind Mountain for so long can reveal something about his nature.
Oh- Black Bear, such a simple and honest name.
"Hehe, this silly kid!"
Daoist Xuanqing chuckled lightly, shook his head, then said seriously:
"I hereby confer upon you the title of…Imperial Commander of Law Enforcement in the Siwei Mansion of the Taichu Dojo, and concurrently the envoy of the Spirit Medicine and Rare Beast Garden, enjoying the treatment as a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu, with an annual tribute of thousands of Heavenly Merits."
"Hiss-"
The audience gasped in shock again.
This is yet another high-ranking official with first-rank status. It was said that the Black Wind Mountain had a Black Bear Essence that was, like Qingxu, one of the first to follow Sir, but due to his low profile, he preferred to raise bees and brew wine in his spare time.
Now, he was also conferred the title of a first-rank Daoist Official of the Taichu Dojo, just like Qingxu. This is the treatment reserved for the founding elders.
The enfeoffment continued.
Subsequently,
Daoist Xuanqing conferred official titles upon Qingwan and Bai Ling'er.
The former was conferred the title of Great Emperor of Longevity of the Human Race and the Human Emperor, while the latter, with her playful and eccentric character, was unsuitable for any position, and was thus conferred the title of Sagely Free White Tiger Immortal.
Of course.
Both of them held the same rank, both as first-rank Daoist officials of the Taichu, however, when it came to annual tribute, they received slightly less than Gentleman Bai She and the Black Bear Essence, with only over eight hundred Heavenly Merits.
After the enfeoffment of the first batch of elders came to an end.
It was now time for the second batch of creatures.
The Land God of Black Wind Mountain, the City God of Black Wind City, the City God of Sand City, the City God of Miechan City…the four City Gods of the Black Wind Kingdom.
Before the establishment of the Black Wind Kingdom,
These four were, respectively, the Land God of Black Wind Mountain…the Land God of Black Wind Town…the Land God of the Azure Dragon Mountain…and the Water God of the Black Dragon Pool.
As the saying goes, when one man attains the Dao, his pets ascend to heaven along with him.
As Daoist Xuanqing's influence has grown rapidly, the subordinate gods under his command have naturally experienced a rise in status as well.
In the end,
Three of the City Gods were promoted to second-rank Daoist Officials of the Taichu and each of them held a position within the Taichu Dojo.
The Land God of Black Wind Mountain, however, remained in his position, continuing to serve as the Land God of Black Wind Mountain.
Although his position did not change,
No one dared to underestimate this small 'Earth God'.
It must be known,
This is the Land God of Black Wind Sacred Mountain, where Sir resides.
As the saying goes, there are still third-rank officials outside the prime minister's gate, yet this is the Land God at the gate of Sir, an existence that serves Sir every day.
As for the third tier of creatures, there is not much to say.
Even so,
Xuanqing didn't continue with the conferment himself; instead, he handed it over to Gentleman Bai She for the third tier, allowing him to fulfill his role as the 'Household Registration Emperor'.
As for the existence of this tier, the treatment under Taichu Dojo was still very good.
Of course.
As beings of the third tier, they naturally wouldn't have Heavenly Merit.
Not only them, even the Earth Gods of the second tier do not receive Heavenly Merit as part of their annual offerings.
However.
Although they don't have Heavenly Merit, they didn't lack Innate Merit either.
After all.
When Xuanqing created Taichu Dojo, he had transformed two hundred million ingots into Innate Merit, acting as Taichu Dojo's salary distribution.
And so.
The basic structure of the entire Taichu Dojo was set up.
The news about Xuanqing conferring the lower-ranking little demon cultivators as Daoist Officials spread throughout the Three Realms.
The most praiseworthy thing was… the salary of Taichu Dojo.
When the beings in the Three Realms learned that the Daoist Officials in Taichu Dojo received the same Innate Merit salary as the Heavenly Court, their tears flowed uncontrollably, and they couldn't help but covet it, since Innate Merit was exclusive to the formal members of the Heavenly Court.
However.
When they heard that the annual offerings of the few First Grade Elders and Emperors in the Taichu Dojo were 'Heavenly Merits', they were… utterly dumbstruck.
Even those old bosses in the Three Realms were shocked beyond measure by this news.
Good lord!
What everyone usually calculated as their own, Daoist Xuanqing simply distributed it directly as annual offerings?
Not only that.
When the Dao Court banquet was held previously.
The news about the nine Ginseng Fruit Trees planted around the square and the Flat Peach Divine Tree somehow spread out as well.
With such a series of… illogical news stirring up the Three Realms' situation, everyone wondered who Daoist Xuanqing was and how he could accomplish such astonishing things.
Is this guy… really a human?
Yi Province's Three Islands.
Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals gathered together.
After the great calamity, we have been indifferent to worldly matters for many years; are we really going to join Taichu Dojo now?"
Let's give it a try. The Flat Peach Divine Tree has been Shou's lifelong pursuit, and you too have been coveting Heavenly Merit for a long time."
With profound eyes, Fortune Star Immortal gazed towards the junction between Nanshan Continent and West Niu Hezhou, seemingly piercing through the vast distance and seeing Taichu Dojo.
This Taichu Dojo, located in Black Wind Country, has the potential to replace the Tang Dynasty as the center of human fate. I, who have cultivated the Dao of Good Fortune, intend to seize this opportunity and give it a try."
Upon hearing this.
Prosperity Star and Longevity Star Immortals fell silent.
Black Wind Country didn't matter much to these two.
But the Heavenly Merit and the Flat Peach Divine Tree were deadly temptations for them both, like a cat encountering catnip.
After a while.
Longevity Star Immortal sighed and murmured faintly, "If Daoist Xuanqing is willing to let me take charge of the Flat Peach Divine Tree, why not join him?"
Seeing this.
Prosperity Star Immortal's eyes showed some interest as well.
If Fortune and Longevity Stars were to go, leaving only Prosperity Star alone on the Three Islands, what would be the point?
Alright, let's go to Taichu!"
Great!
Fortune and Longevity Stars looked at each other, smiling and nodding.
Of course.
Although the Three Immortals intended to join Taichu Dojo, that was just their one-sided wish. Whether it could actually happen depended on how the other party would act and whether they would accept their requests.
Therefore, the Three Immortals didn't even pack their belongings.They directly rode their lucky clouds towards Black Wind Mountain, intending first to confirm their plans before coming back later to move their things.
On this side.
Black Wind Mountain.
After setting up Taichu Dojo and getting the structure up and running,
Xuanqing planned to return to the real world to collect incense and develop incense offerings in the real world.
Just as Xuanqing was about to exit the game, he noticed three beams filled with pure and clear spiritual energy rushing towards them.

Chapter 349: Chapter 287: Returning to Reality, The Proportion of Incense is Too Little.
Translator: 549690339
"Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals?"
Xuanqing couldn't help but feel perplexed. What were these three immortals doing at Black Wind Mountain, having just attended the Daoist temple establishment banquet not long ago.
Moments later.
These three figures arrived at the outside of Black Wind Mountain and walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple, visibly lowering their attitude.
"Yi Province's Three Islands Fu, Lu, Shou stars, seeking an audience with the Master of the Primordial Beginning!"
"So it's Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Friends who have come, please come in quickly!"
Xuanqing hurriedly walked out of the Taoist temple, warmly greeting them.
He obtained the Way of Celestial Immortals at first mainly as a favor from these three people. No matter why they were here, etiquette still had to be observed.
"Thankyou, Daoist Master!" Fortune Star Immortal said with a slight bow, courteously.
The group entered the Taoist temple.
In the room,
Xuanqing asked the Earth God to pour a few cups of tea.
"Three Daoist friends… please have some tea."
"Good…thank you."
The three immortals symbolically took a sip, then exchanged glances with each other. Finally, Fortune Star Immortal spoke up:
"To be honest, we came here with the idea of joining Taichu Daoist Temple."
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing was taken aback but then asked, "Why?"
As a matter of fact, the reputation of his Taichu Daoist Temple might have grown rapidly within the Three Realms, but these Three Immortals, as old- timers in the Three Realms, shouldn't worry about finding a place to stay.
For example, as long as the immortals are willing, no matter which force in the Three Realms, would welcome them with dazzling joy. Even Shiinen would be willing to give a "Buddha" position.
"Heavenly Merit!"
"Flat Peach Divine Tree!"
"Black Wind Country!"
Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals directly stated their demands. As cultivators, there was no need to beat around the bush for some things.
Upon hearing this,
Is that all?
Xuanqing smiled faintly and immediately waved his hand: "Three Daoist friends, if you join Taichu Daoist Temple, you will receive nine hundred and several Heavenly Merits annually!"
"Prosperity Star Daoist and Longevity Star Daoist, besides your salary, you both will also receive a Ginseng Fruit subsidy per year."
"Longevity Star Daoist…in addition to the annual offering, you will have a flat peach from the mother tree every year."
As soon as these words came out,
Fu, Lu, Shou Three Immortals' bodies trembled, and they asked in unison, "Is Daoist Master telling the truth?"
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, of course, it's true!"
The three immortals exchanged glances, saw each other's intentions, and nodded accordingly.
"Alright then, we will go back to pack our belongings and move to Black Wind Mountain tomorrow. At that time… we shall have to rely on Daoist Master's care!" said Fortune Star Immortal, clasping his hands.
"Good!"
Xuanqing nodded with a smile.
Although these three couldn't be considered as the top-tier powers in the Three Realms for Black Wind Mountain, they were the most powerful existence apart from Gentleman Bai She. Even the Black Bear Essence was no match for the three immortals.
It has to be said that,
in this world where fortune and foundation are contested, Gentleman Bai She, who has achieved the Luck Golden Dragon body, is like a cheat code, having reached his current status from being a small snake in a very short time.
Watching the three immortals leave,
The Taoist temple returned to its usual tranquility.
"Phew-"
"First, go back to the Real World to harvest some incense offerings, then make a development strategy, and finally enter the Game World for closed-door cultivation!"
After that,
Xuanqing sat down cross-legged and casually set up an isolation formation.
With a thought,
"Exit the game!"
Real World.
In the backyard of Qingping Mountain's Taoist temple.
A young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes suddenly opening. It was Xuanqing, who had just exited the game and returned to reality.
Xuanqing stood up and looked into the distance.
That being said,
despite all the events that occurred in the Game World, such as self- destructing, causing trouble, and establishing the Taichu Dojo, he spent just over two years in the Game World. In the Real World, it was only a little over two months.
"Let's see how much incense has accumulated in these two months," Xuanqing murmured softly.
The Real World was his foundation. The reason he could develop so quickly was largely due to the immense income of Incense Fire Ingots in the Real World, besides relying on the quantifier.
Xuanqing's thoughts moved…and his God Soul was released.
Hum hum-
In an instant,
half of the East Asia region, nearly half of Water Blue Star, was enveloped under his God Soul. Every living being's every move was observed by his God Soul.
After more than two months of development,
all the small towns of the Great Yan Kingdom and even some larger villages had built Taoist temples according to the population scale.
Under Xuanqing's God Soul observation,
he noticed that the original village clinics had disappeared, replaced by Taoist temples.
The commoners just needed to go to the village's Taoist temple, and under the talismans left by Xuanqing, all their ailments with a sweep would be cured.
Not to mention ordinary people,
now the Great Yan Kingdom had a batch of extraordinary people.
They were…cultivators.
These cultivators, besides controlling supernatural powers, also had their brains developed due to cultivation. They often achieved remarkable achievements in scientific research, learning, or business.
Generally speaking,
when there were significant differences between people in their social status, exploitation, or even enslavement, would occur. However, none of these things happened in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Because…
To cultivate on Water Blue Star, one must sincerely pray in a Taoist temple and receive the necessary item for cultivation…Spiritual Qi.

And the more devout the belief, the more heaven and earth spiritual energy one can obtain.
If there is no heaven and earth spiritual energy, no matter how extraordinary your talent, you will not be able to cultivate anything.
Those who can become cultivators and even achieve certain accomplishments must be believers in Xuanqing, even fanatical believers.
Of course.
These are digressions.
At this moment.
With the god soul spreading out and covering the entire Southeast Asian region, everything is in plain sight.
As for the current situation in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Xuanqing is quite satisfied, especially when feeling the strong power of incense fire floating in those Taoist temples, he is even more satisfied.
Subsequently.
Within the range covered by his God Soul, he found Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying, Huai Qingyun, and Cang Qingyu.
"Thou hast… quickly come to Qingping Mountain."
"First, collect the incense fire!"
With a thought in his heart.
"Take!" Xuanqing uttered a low cry.
At his current realm, he could forcefully absorb the power of these incense fires without the need for the authority of an Immortal Official's seal, directly using his powerful cultivation.
At the moment the word 'collect' fell.
The next moment.
The sky above the entire Great Yan Kingdom changed with the wind and clouds.
Countless invisible powers of incense fire, which cultivators could feel, seemed to have received some kind of call, one after another, leaving the sub-array plates used to preserve the incense, floating above the Taoist temples.
These forces of incense fire gathered in the air, turning into a torrent of swirling incense fire rainbows, and flying wildly in a certain direction.
Heavenly Master Mansion!
While attending a meeting, Elder Jingde's body suddenly paused, and the expression on his face became excited.
"Regarding the matter of strengthening the management of cultivators, let's discuss it later… Dismissed!" Elder Jingde said to the high-ranking members of the Taiji Hall below.
After finishing his speech.
He stood up and hurriedly left the conference room.
Just as everyone was wondering what had happened to make Heavenly Master Jingde so flustered…
Suddenly.
An anomaly appeared in the sky above Heavenly Master Mansion, and numerous rainbow-like things gathered together, surging wildly in a certain direction.
In an instant… the Daoists remembered a legend.
When the incense fire belief surged, it meant… the legendary person had emerged.
High-ranking members of the Taiji Hall got up in succession, looking at the surging power of incense fire with longing eyes.
"It's… the palace lord has emerged!"
Not only at Heavenly Master Mansion.
At Qianqing Elder's Daoist Academy, Yang Ying's secular forces in charge of Taiji Hall… also stopped their work and looked reverently in the direction of Qingping Holy Mountain.
Leaving aside the huge shock caused by Xuanqing's emergence in the outside world.
Here.
Qingping Mountain.
Under the vast divine soul, the accumulated incense fires in the entire Great Yan Kingdom were soon gathered in the sky above Qingping Mountain.
"Recharge!" Xuanqing silently exclaimed in his heart.
[Ding… 136E Ingots!]
"Almost eighty days, that's about 1.7 billion a day… this incense fire ratio… is a bit low!"
Xuanqing frowned.
According to the current population of 1.7 billion in the Great Yan Kingdom, the daily incense fire income ratio is almost one in ten.
That is to say, on average, only one incense fire income would be given to him every day by ten people in the Great Yan Kingdom.
This ratio is indeed too low.
After all.
As long as one is a normal person, they can generate five or six points a day, and those who are physically strong or mentally strong, or even cultivators, will produce even more incense fire.
With a population of 1.7 billion, even if everyone only contributed five or six incense fire points per day, there should be several billion per day. Why is it only 1.7 billion?
In fact.
The calculation is not done like this.
Out of these 1.7 billion people, non-believers must be deducted, followed by children with immature minds, and… corporate slaves!
Firstly, as time goes by, with so many Taoist temples across the country and the influence of various miracles, even the most steadfast people would eventually become believers, and even fanatical believers.
But the difficulty lies in the last point.
Corporate slaves!
As the name suggests, they are the beasts of burden for social development, earning meager wages but doing the most exhausting work. Either their bodies get sick from fatigue, or their minds collapse from exhaustion.
At least.
When Xuanqing just enveloped Great Yan Kingdom with his divine consciousness, he discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The places where the incense fire was the strongest tend to have more elderly people, and the easiest to generate incense fire is from retired elderly people.
On the contrary.
Those working on assembly lines in factories, spiderweb-like office cubicles in big companies, or miscellaneous workers on construction sites.
These people… except when they get sick and go to the Taoist temple for free treatment, contributing some incense fire, they hardly contribute any incense fire on a daily basis.
Wiry is this happening?
Tsk tsk- When they finish their work and can immediately fall asleep in bedin this situation, they are merely surviving, let alone talking about faith.
For some people, getting sick is undoubtedly very uncomfortable.
But for corporate slaves, it's the exact opposite. It's only when they get sick that they feel relaxed and feel like they are a real, living, and breathing person!
"Although the Great Yan Kingdom in the real world is much richer than my Black Wind Country, the happiness of the people is very low, and their lives are very bitter!"
Not knowing what he thought of,
Xuanqing's eyes were filled with an inexplicable color.
Moments later.
Several figures entered the Taoist temple.
"Greetings, temple master!"
"Greetings, temple master!"
"Greetings, Sir!"
Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying, Huai Qingyun, and Cang Qingyu, respectfully paid their respects to Xuanqing.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He looked at the five people.
After more than two… almost three months.
He found that Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing had refined about half of the ginseng fruits in their bodies, and their cultivation had reached the peak of Turning Qi into God. They were just half a step away from refining gods and returning to the void.
The two of them had made significant progress in their cultivation. It seemed that they did not neglect their cultivation while dealing with daily matters.
In contrast,
Yang Ying's progress was much worse. The chaotic energy of the Ginseng Fruit sealed in her body had hardly been consumed.
In terms of cultivation, when Xuanqing first helped her refine the Ginseng Fruit, she was at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi. Now, she had just broken through to Turning Qi into God, which was incomparable to the peak level achieved by the two old Daoists.
However, from another perspective, Yang Ying became a cultivator midway. It is normal for her to lag behind Elder Qianqing and Elder Jingde in cultivation.
As for Cang Qingyu and Huai Qingyun other than the two old Daoists and Yang Ying?
It's better not to mention their cultivation.
The former is the embodiment of Water Blue Star's rules, and the strength of its cultivation depends entirely on the intensity of Water Blue Star.
The latter, on the other hand, is a locust tree spirit who has been conferred as a faith spirit and embarked on the path of Shinto. Without Xuanqing's promotion, no matter how much he cultivates, it would be useless. At most, he could just practice some spells and the like.
"I called you all here because I have a few things to instruct!" Xuanqing said indifferently.
Hearing this,
The five people hurriedly put themselves in a listening position, listening to their master's instructions.
"Yang Ying, just now when I enveloped the Great Yan Kingdom with my divine consciousness, I found some unpleasant phenomena."
Xuanqing's hands were behind his back, and his eyes gazed into the distance.
"The people of the Great Yan Kingdom… are too bitter, bitter to the point of not having the energy to pursue faith, bitter to the point of living in a daze."
"So… I want you to do something."
As soon as these words came out,
Everyone's body trembled.
Especially when the word "faith" fell into their ears, they instantly understood what their temple master meant.
Speaking of which,
Now Elder Jingde, Yang Ying, and the others have followed their master for such a long time. They may not fully understand their master's temperament and character, but at least they know what he values the most.
Undoubtedly, what their master values the most is faith incense fire. As for worldly matters, they just have to avoid causing too much trouble.
With this thought in mind!
"Huh-"
Yang Ying took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and bowed slightly, saying, "Please, Sir, give your instructions!"

Chapter 351: Chapter 288: Well… Just be the Underworld Emperor!
Translator: 549690339
Aside from Yang Ying, Elder Jingde and the others were also listening intently, wanting to know how their Sir planned to proceed.
'I want you to… purchase all labor-intensive industries in the entire Great Yan Kingdom and turn them into internal industries within our Taoist sect."
"And then… make sweeping changes to these acquired industries."
"Reduce working hours, increase wages, build employee housing… or increase educational funding… whichever method is used, treat them as human beings first!"
As he said this,
Xuanqing looked at Elder Jingde, "Elder Jingde, you are in charge of Taiji Hall's Law Enforcement Team."
So… during Yang Ying's acquisition of these enterprises, if there are any short-sighted capitalists obstructing her, you will be responsible for handling them."
His tone was particularly cold as he said this.
Because,
Xuanqing had once seen a news article where a foreign company opened a factory in Great Yan Kingdom. However, because of its high wages, it was targeted by vampire-like capitalists.
In fact… these vampires even made some seemingly righteous and hypocritical statements.
Things like offering high salaries would discourage young people from striving, or that it would hinder the development of other 'entrepreneurs.'"
Honestly,
this was just absurd.
Although Xuanqing had an indifferent personality, he was extremely disgusted with such vampire-like beings.
At this moment,
Everyone thought to themselves after hearing their palace lord's words: it seemed that some people were about to have bad luck.
"I understand, Palace Lord!"
At some point, a notepad had appeared in Yang Ying's hand, and she recorded Xuanqing's words.
Hmm, Yang Ying, you have a heavy burden. Besides acquiring labor-intensive industries, I have other tasks for you."
Xuanqing gently tapped the table.
Starting now, establish a dedicated research department within Taiji Hall. You are to recruit researchers from all fields worldwide."
"Especially in material science and energy… for now, have a goal to achieve controlled nuclear fusion and solve the energy problem."
Having finished giving orders to Yang Ying,
Xuanqing asked in a deep voice, "Yang Ying, do you have any questions about any of this?"
Hearing this,
Yang Ying shook her head, then hesitated and carefully said, "Palace Lord, I understand everything you said, but…"
"But, achieving all of this would require astronomical amounts of money. With our current financial resources, unless we resort to robbery, otherwise…"
Whether it was acquiring the country's labor-intensive industries or setting up a research department exclusive to the Taoist sect, neither was a simple matter.
Not to mention, just the 'agricultural seed' research lab currently affiliated with the sect consumes hundreds of millions of funds annually for the research of better fertilizers and better seeds.
Let alone now, having full subject research, and even high-end projects like 'controlled nuclear fusion,' it was terrifying to think about how much money would be consumed.
However,
hearing the word 'robbery,'
Xuanqing chuckled and said, "Initially, to raise funds for the development of our sect, I created a life extension pill that could extend a person's life by two years."
"Later, when the funds were sufficient and the connections were established, production of the life extension pills ceased."
"Elder Jingde has reported to me that many wealthy individuals and foreign capital are inquiring whether this elixir can still be provided."
"Even officials at the top of Great Yan Kingdom have once pressured our sect, but they later gave up because of some other matters."
Hearing this,
Elder Jingde nodded understandingly.
Human nature is greedy. When initially using the life extension pills to establish connections, once people had tried a two-year life extension pill, they would want a five-year one, and then a ten-year, twenty-year, or even an eternal life one.
Had it not been for those shockingincidents that occurred later, who knows what kind of chaos would have arisen out of this.
"Palace Lord, do you mean… to continue selling life extension pills?" Elder Jingde asked tentatively.
"Yes!"
Xuanqing nodded but added, "However, this time we are selling them not to establish connections, but merely to raise funds. In terms of price… we can make them more expensive."
"Understood."
Elder Jingde nodded.
On the side,
Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Since their palace lord was planning to restart the production of life extension pills, dealing with mere worldly money would be a cinch.
I understand, Palace Lord. Once the funds are in place, I will expedite this matter," Yang Ying promised.
"There is no need to wait until the funds have been raised to do this. I will give you some gold to use as start-up capital," said Xuanqing.
As he said this,
Xuanqing waved his right hand,
Whoosh~
Countless gold bricks appeared out of thin air, neatly stacked in the courtyard, emitting a dazzling glow under the sunlight.
There are over a hundred tons of gold here, which should be enough for the early stage of spending, right?" asked Xuanqing.
This gold was all bought directly from the Game Mall, and it didn't cost many Ingots because it had never been circulated in the market, so it didn't contain any wealth Qi.
And the pricing of goods in the Game Mall was based on the item's level. Since this gold without wealth Qi was of low value, its price was very cheap.
Some might ask, if the price was so low, why not just make infinite exchanges and forget about selling life extension pills to the rich, sparing oneself the trouble?

If you have this kind of idea, anyone who has even a little knowledge of economics will probably roll their eyes at you and curse you with a vulgar word.
At this moment.
Seeing this suddenly appearing gold mountain, except for Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu, both old Dao and Yang Ying were dumbfounded.
"Ah… this… enough… it's enough."
Yang Ying was somewhat bewildered.
Although she was already a cultivator, and the master she followed was like an immortal figure, she was still greatly surprised when she saw so much gold.
After instructing Yang Ying.
Xuanqing looked at Elder Jingde.
This time, instead of being lethargic as usual, he decided to improve faith and incense power in the Real World.
"Elder Jingde, tell me about the current situation of the Taoist temple."
Although he had already covered the Great Yan Kingdom with his divine thought and had some understanding of the temples, he could not know the specifics. It would be clearer for the person in charge to speak.
"Yes!
Elder Jingde slightly bowed and then began to recount, "Reporting to the palace lord, the Taoist has now covered the whole Great Yan Kingdom."
"Taking towns as units, including some large villages, there are a total of twenty-one thousand six hundred and twenty-six Taoist temples in the country, including county and city religious associations, totaling seventy-eight thousand…"
"An average of each Taoist temple… "
As Elder Jingde recounted, the development of the entire Great Yan Kingdom's Taoist temple gradually appeared before Xuanqing.
After listening.
Xuanqing nodded, and then instructed:
"Elder Jingde, your next task is to cover all cities, at least at the municipal level, in the East Asia region with Taoist temples in the shortest time."
"During this process, try to use gentle means, either with money or the life extension pills. When encountering some stubborn people, you don't need to be polite, just deal with them as necessary."
Upon hearing this.
Elder Jingde was somewhat surprised.
Why would the palace lord suddenly change his usual behavior and command him to expand the Taoist temple at full speed, even saying words like "deal with them as necessary"?
After thinking it over.
"Palace lord, if we proceed this way… it may cause a certain degree of chaos…"
His words were not yet finished when he was interrupted.
"Let there be chaos."
Xuanqing waved his hand and then faintly said, "For the places outside the Great Yan Kingdom, you don't need to worry too much, as long as there are no large-scale killings."
In fact.
As far as Xuanqing was concerned, in the Real World, he only cared about the Great Yan Kingdom. As for places outside the Great Yan Kingdom… just like he said, as long as there was no massacre, everything else was as trivial as eating and drinking.
This moment.
Elder Jingde showed a sudden realization.
Having followed the palace lord for so long, he had never thought that he had always misunderstood him. It turned out that the palace lord only cared about the order of the Great Yan Kingdom.
"Hehe, palace lord… I understand!" Elder Jingde stroked his beard and chuckled softly.
After arranging the matters for Elder Jingde and Yang Ying.
Next.
It was Elder Qianqing's turn.
Nowadays, the Taoist temple, or more specifically, the Taiji Hall, has always been in charge of recruiting new members. He is still the current Dean of the Taoist Academy.
"Elder Qianqing, your task is more significant."
"Palace lord, just give your instructions. I, your subordinate, will take them."
Elder Qianqing smiled faintly and spoke calmly.
In his opinion, being given more tasks by the palace lord showed that he was useful, so he was not afraid of having more work to do; he was just afraid of not having anything to do.
Nowadays, the academy has been bestowed with the 'Heart-probing Road' and 'Refining Heart Tower' by the palace lord. He usually has a lot of free time, and the most he's done is handling seal issues and granting Scriptures for graduation.
"That's good."
Xuanqing nodded and continued, "Your next task is to establish a branch in each of the twenty-one provincial-level cities in the Great Yan Kingdom."
"Moreover, the Taoist Academy will no longer accept new students in the future."
Upon hearing this,
Elder Qianqing was slightly startled and immediately asked, "Palace Lord, if we do not accept new students, where will we get new enrollees from?"
"That's the reason for setting up branch schools." Xuanqing laughed softly, then continued to explain:
"This is my plan: In addition to enrolling fresh graduates in these twenty-one branch schools, we will also establish adult classes and recruit cultivators from various Taoist temples."
"Then, students in the main school will be selected from these branch schools based on their outstanding performance."
With this,
Elder Qianqing suddenly understood.
Now he got it: First, establish branch schools, expand enrollment, and then upgrade the main school, admitting students based on their outstanding performance from within these branch schools.
"Palace Lord, what are the requirements for student enrollment in the branch schools? Same as the current study academy?"
"The enrollment requirements are the same, but the internal structure of the school system in the branch schools will be changed." Xuanqing responded.
"In these branch schools, besides not offering liberal arts subjects like literature, philosophy, and archaeology, they will offer courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics like normal universities."
"In addition, they must complete the required Taoist courses. In short, these students have to learn both science and Taoist cultivation."
Hearing these words,
Elder Qianqing showed hesitation and carefully asked, "Wouldn't learning so many things result in an inability to keep up with their studies?"
"No!
"During the cultivation process, in addition to nourishing the body, the mind will also be nourished. Memory, reaction speed, comprehension… everything will be greatly enhanced, you should be very clear about this."
Xuanqing spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this,
Elder Qianqing nodded. Elder Jingde and Yang Ying, who were on the side, also shared the same sentiments.
Ever since they began cultivating, their entire aura had changed, and they even seemed to have transcended the realm of humanity.
Not to mention the existence of supernatural abilities like Mana. Just not needing to sleep for months, never needing to eat… having eidetic memory… or using divine thoughts to read hundreds of lines at a glance… all these abilities were already abnormal.
"Elder Qianqing, your responsibility is heavy. These children are the future of humanity, and the resources of Water Blue Star are ultimately limited. The only correct path is to focus on the vast universe."
Xuanqing spoke solemnly.
In his plan, the real world will eventually become a world where technology and cultivation coexist.
Cultivation concentrates power to oneself, while technology distributes power evenly among the people. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and if the two are combined, the power they can unleash will no longer be as simple as one plus one equals two.
As for him,
Because the resources of Water Blue Star are limited, the number of people it can support is also limited, and naturally, the amount of incense fire generated by faith is also limited.
Imagine,
When the human population in the real world reaches too billion and they have ventured into outer space, how terrifying will the amount of incense fire generated daily be?
Tens of billions… or even hundreds of billions a day?
Of course,
That's all in the future. At present, humans haven't even achieved controlled nuclear fusion, let alone stepping into the vast ocean of stars.
However,
Xuanqing believes that achieving these things is not difficult. To put it simply, the technological stagnation on Water Blue Star is largely due to the limitations of material strength.
And for materials that are extremely difficult to create using technology, just simple forging and purification in the cultivation world can easily solve the problem.
With the matters regarding Yang Ying and the two old Daoists already instructed, only Cangqingyu and Huai Qingyun were left.
At this moment,
Huai Qingyun was staring eagerly at his master.
Ever since his master was able to absorb incense fire on his own, Huai Qingyun spent his days idly playing with the foolish tree spirits.
At first, he thought it was quite leisurely, but as time passed, he felt increasingly empty, and even worried every day that his master would abandon him.
"Sir, what… what can I do?" Huai Qingyun asked weakly.
"You…."
With a slight smile on the corner of his lips, Xuanqing leisurely said, "I plan to make you the Underworld King of Hell. Are you confident?"
What?!
"Underworld King of Hell?"
Huai Qingyun was dumbfounded..
Chapter 353: Chapter 289: Elder Jingde's granddaughter kidnapped!
Translator: 549690339
Underworld Yama King.. When these four words were spoken, not only was Huai Qingyun shocked, but so were the people around him.
They looked at Huai Qingyun, who was just over a meter tall and appeared like a child, and the image of Yama King with a full beard emerged in their minds.
This… doesn't seem to match at all.
"Sir… Sir, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well…" Huai Qingyun said softly, with some self-doubt.
"Hehc!"
Xuanqing let out a light laugh and then said, "Qingyun, I believe in you. You'll be fine."
To be honest.
Although Yama King is the ruler of the Underworld and Earthly Path, there isn't much to do on a daily basis. Be it reincarnation or judgment, there arc specialized people for those tasks, and Yama himself only needs to sit in Yama's Palace.
Under such circumstances, even tying a dog to Yama's Palace would suffice, let alone having Huai Qingyun in the position.
Just like the immortals of the Heavenly Court, most of their daily tasks are handled by the rules. All they need to do is drink tea and play chess with their friends.
"Cang Qingyu."
"Ah..Yes."
The little foggy ball-like Cang Qingyu, hearing his master call himself, couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. He was now just a mascot, so why was his master calling him?
"You are the incarnation of the Heavenly and Earthy rules of the Water Blue Star. In the future, you will be Emperor Haotian, ruling the realms of the gods and responsible for the operation of the rules. Since this is your original role, I believe there should be no problem."
Xuanqing said lightly.
"Oh~" Cang Qingyu responded blankly.
He wasn't worried because he had experience in operating the rules of heaven and earth. After all, he was the incarnation of the rules. He just needed to act on instinct.
And so,
The Heaven, Earth, and Human Path of the Water Blue Star were thus determined.
However, while the Heaven and Earth paths were now identified, they were still empty shells, which meant that even the exclusive realms like Heaven and Hell and their office locations were yet to be there.
"The follow-up matters for the Heaven and Earth Paths will be slowly built later on."
Xuanqing waved his hands at the crowd, "If there is nothing else, everyone can leave."
Upon hearing this,
Everyone bowed down, shouting, "Subordinates take leave."…
In the Game World,
Black Wind Mountain, Taichu Dojo.
"Huh-"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, waking up after entering the game.
As for the affairs of the real world, he was quite confident in leaving them to Elder Jingde and his subordinates. He only needed to wait for the results.
This was one of the reasons for creating the Taiji Hall. Otherwise, he would be caught up in the mundane affairs, and his energy would be scattered, leaving him with no time to cultivate.
"Now… Now that the real world has been taken care of, I can close myself off and cultivate for a while." Xuanqing murmured softly.
With a thought,
"Open Character Panel."
[Name: Xuanqing
[Physique: Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation: Yin-Yang Realms (Extreme Yang 3%)
[Cultivation Method: Unknown
[Divine Ability: Fate Dragon Control Chapter (Infinite), Heavenly Thirty-six Methods (Perfection), Five Element Array (Perfection)….
[Ingots: 142E
On the character panel, there weren't any changes except in the ingots section. He had previously left with 700 million, but with the harvest from the Water Blue Star, he now had a total of 142 billion.
"With 142 billion ingots, I can exchange for thirteen Chaos Extreme Yang Pills."
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, pondering the thought.
He had previously tried one pill, which could rapidly increase his cultivation progress by 0.5%. Therefore, these thirteen Chaos Extreme Yang Pills were equivalent to an increase of 6.5% in his cultivation.
However,
This time, he didn't intend to continue increasing the 'Yang' rules in the Yin-Yang realms, but instead, decided to cultivate the 'Yin' rules.
In the Yin-Yang realms, Yang is the rule of time, and Yin is the rule of space.
Originally, it didn't matter which of Yin and Yang to cultivate first within the Yin-Yang realms. After all, in the end, to break through, one must achieve perfection in both Yin and Yang.
The reason why he decided to abandon cultivating Yang first and instead focus on perfecting the 'Yin' rules was mainly for the development of the real world.
"Yin represents space, and even with the current technology of the Water Blue Star, achieving controlled nuclear fusion is not enough to step into the interstellar civilization."
"However, if I were to cultivate the Yin rules, I would be able to set up ultra-long-range teleportation arrays. This would speed up the process and allow the Water Blue Star to enter the interstellar era ahead of schedule."
Xuanqing's eyes sparkled.
He was serious when he said earlier that he wanted to help the Water Blue Star step into the interstellar era, increase resources, and achieve a population explosion.
Cultivating along with developing technology was the right path to take.
With this in mind,
"Exchange ten origin points and twenty thousand Heavenly Merits." Xuanqing muttered in his heart.
[-10E ingots, 10 origin points!]
[-2000W ingots, 2W Heavenly Merits!]
It was worth mentioning that,
He decided to cultivate the Extreme Yin time rule, but he had only uploaded the Chaos Extreme Yang Pills before. Therefore, he needed to go through the steps once again.
"Exchange two Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills."
[Ding… -2W Heavenly Merits.]
Two Extreme Yang Nine Rotation Divine Pills were quietly lying inside the game backpack.
Then,
"Fusion Upgrade." Xuanqing muttered in his heart.
[Ding..- 10 origin points, Fusion Upgrade in progress…]
[Fusion successful, congratulations to the player for obtaining Chaos Extreme
Yin Pill*i]
Chapter 354: Chapter 289: Elder Jingde's granddaughter kidnapped! _2
Translator: 549690339
Xuanqing opened his palm, took out the Chaos Extreme Yin Pill from his backpack, and carefully examined it in front of him.
Unlike the Chaos Extreme Yang Pill, this Chaos Extreme Yin Pill also exudes the mysterious Chaotic Qi, but besides that, it is accompanied by an extreme chill of yin.
It gives a sense of infinite desolation in the universe, representing the extreme yin space.
"Upload to the game mall."
Two months later.
An alert sounded in Xuanqing's mind.
[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful, Mall increment: Chaos Extreme Yin Pill (102W)]
As expected.
Just like the previous Chaos Extreme Yang Pill, the value is 1020000, and naturally, in Heavenly Merits, which equals to one billion and twenty million Ingots.
"Exchange for twelve Chaos Extreme Yin Pills."
[Ding..-122.4E Ingots!]
[Your current remaining Ingots: 9.4E! ]
Counting the first Chaos Extreme Yin Pill used for fusion and upgrade, there are a total of thirteen Chaos Extreme Yin Pills, costing 1320000.
To exchange one pill, it requires one billion and twenty million Ingots, leaving only 940 million, which is not enough to exchange for another pill, so it can only be used for daily practice.
"It's time for closed-door cultivation."
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion, putting the Chaos Extreme Yin Pill in his mouth.
Gurgling-
The moment the elixir entered his abdomen, it turned into a stream of light and merged into his physical body.
"Use one month of time acceleration!" Xuanqing uttered silently.
Previously, with a Chaos Extreme Yang Pill, using one month of time acceleration was the limit that his God Soul and physical body could bear.
With this Chaos Extreme Yin Pill representing space, he naturally wouldn't rush and chose to progress gradually, cultivating in units of one month.
As the old saying goes, you can't rush to eat hot tofu.
[Ding…-3000 Ingots!]
At the moment Ingots are deducted, the quantifier's time acceleration function is successfully activated.
In an instant…
This Yin Rule, representing "space," causes the space around Xuanqing to fluctuate.
Space begins to twist
Under the influence of the spatial law, the space around Xuanqing twists and turns like layers of heat waves.
in this situation, his comprehension of the "Yin Rule" is also visibly increasing.
Two months later.
All the medicinal power of the elixir has been consumed.
"This is the law of space!"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, flashing a trace of sharpness, and then made a slight wave with his right hand.
The next moment.
Zi zi zi-
Under the guidance of his fingertips, thin black cracks appeared in the space in front of him, emitting a dangerous aura.
Of course.
Being able to do this not only depends on the spatial law but also on Xuanqing's own strength. The Chaos Extreme Yin Pill only plays an auxiliary role in enhancing the law of space.
After a short break, when his state of mind is somewhat restored…
"Continue to cultivate, striving to use the pure power of the law to tear space!"
Xuanqing's gaze was determined.
With a thought in his mind.
A Chaos Extreme Yin Pill was taken out from the game backpack, and then he swallowed the elixir.
Gurgling-
"Use one month of time acceleration."
[Ding…]
In this way.
Xuanqing entered a state of cultivation with closed doors.
As the Chaos Extreme Yang Pills were consumed one by one, Xuanqing's understanding of the 'Space Law' deepened.
At this moment.
In the real world on the other side.
"What, you say Xiao'er and the entire preaching team were hijacked by pirates in an open sea area of the Pacific Ocean?"
Elder Jingde looked astonished, his face incredulous as he listened to the words coming from the phone.
"Did the other party make any demands?"
An hour later.
In the conference hall of Heavenly Master Mansion.
Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying, Huai Qingyun, and Cang Qingyu, the five elders of Taiji Hall, gathered together.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Jingde had already informed them about the incident of Ru Xiao being kidnapped by sea pirates in the open sea.
"I think there's more to this than just pirates." Elder Qianqing said solemnly.
"Indeed, their demands are really weird. We're all genuine cultivators. Where do so-called 'Super Soldiers' come from?"
Yang Ying slightly nodded, agreeing with the others' thoughts, and then suggested: "Why don't we… report this to the palace lord?"
"No!
As soon as these words came out.
Elder Qianqing and Elder Jingde both retorted in unison.
For them, Xiao'er being kidnapped by pirates was naturally a big deal, but for the palace lord, it was just a trivial matter.
They would disturb the palace lord for such a small matter; what would the palace lord think?
Today it's your granddaughter looking for the palace lord because she got kidnapped, tomorrow it's his sister, and the day after it's someone else's aunt. What's the palace lord's purpose for them then?
At this moment.
Elder Jingde's brows were tightly knitted, pondering on the strategy to break the situation.
The demands made by the other party were too bizarre. Besides the one billion unlinked cash, they also demanded the so-called 'Super Soldier' research material.
Besides.
The other party also stipulated only he, as the grandfather, should go alone with the cash and Super Soldier research materials to the open sea to exchange for the hostage.
No matter how they looked at it, it was not simply an issue of 'robbery'. He even suspected that behind this, there might be the shadow of some large overseas military power.
For a time, the atmosphere in the main hall became somewhat oppressive.
The people present were shocked by the sudden incident and didn't know what to do.
A few moments later.
Elder Qianqing suddenly spoke, "I watched Xiao'er grow up. Jingde, I'll go with you."
"Ah, Elder Qianqing, I know you have good intentions, but the kidnappers specified that I should go alone, otherwise… they'll tear up the ticket. What can we do about this?"
Elder Jingde sighed, his face full of sorrow as he spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Elder Qianqing's eyes dimmed, feeling distressed by the situation where he was willing to help but couldn't.
However.
Huai Qingyun spoke from the side.
"Old Master Jingde, Old Master Qianqing, if the kidnappers say one person, do we really have to go alone?"
"Did you forget that you are cultivators? Even with the lowest level of invisibility talisman, cameras can't detect them."
Huai Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said irritably, "Not to mention, using high-level Breathing Talismans, neither cameras nor thermal imaging or lasers can detect anything."
Huh…?
Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing were stunned.
Being caught in the situation, they couldn't see the problem clearly or perhaps because the matter involved those close to them, they were too concerned and confused, and they didn't even think of such a basic issue.
From then on.
The more Huai Qingyun spoke, the more spirited he became, and he immediately slapped the table.
SLAP-
"At that time, we will join together to destroy all those so-called pirates."
Although the words were crude, that was exactly the point.
Elder Jingde nodded.
"Alright, let's do it this way."
Pacific Ocean.
A certain open sea area.
SPLASH-
An international medium-sized cruise ship was automatically sailing towards a designated coordinate.
On the vast cruise ship, besides Elder Jingde, there was no one else. Even the cruise ship itself was operated by Al automatic driving.
Of course.
That was only on the surface.
In the invisible areas unseen by the naked eyes and detection equipment, four individuals were hidden, to be precise: two people, one Old Master, and one Locust Tree Spirit.
A moment later.
As the cruise ship arrived at the designated coordinate, the ship automatically activated the centrifugal spiral device to stay steadily in place due to the absence of a driver.
At this moment.
Upon arriving at the destination.
Elder Jingde stood up, carrying a box in his hand, and slowly walked to the deck, taking out a satellite phone to dial the pirates on the other side.
"The cash is in the warehouse, this box contains the 'Super Soldier research material', hurry up and bring my granddaughter out.."
