Chapter 319: 318. Primordial Magnetic Sword Realm, New Divine Art Conception (Part 2)
Chapter 319: 318. Primordial Magnetic Sword Realm, New Divine Art Conception (Part 2)
However, Lei Jun remained calm and collected, neither acting aloof nor pretending to be close to those below him. He maintained his usual demeanor.
In addition to managing the Mansion's affairs, he focused on his own cultivation and instructed his disciples.
One day, he left a message for the others in the Celestial Book Cosmos, inviting them to a gathering.
At midnight, the various stars in the Celestial Book Cosmos lit up one by one.
"Everyone, I have a request. Does anyone have any Spirit Void Immortal Fruits?"
Lei Jun, in the form of Taibai Jinxing, was the first to speak.
Zhengxing Duyao of Saturn said, "I have some here."
Lei Jun continued, "I need a large number of Spirit Void Immortal Fruits, the more the better."
Zhengxing Duyao of Saturn replied, "I do have quite a lot here. However, I also need a large quantity of celestial treasures for Confucian scholars' cultivation. I don't have any specific requirements for the type, but the more the better."
Just like the last time, most of what he needed was not for himself.
Although the newly established Kaian Academy had already taken shape, it still required a lot of investment.
While the celestial treasures he needed were relatively basic and simple, the amount he required was enormous.
Lei Jun said, "I have a small amount, but I can't guarantee the quantity."
Taiyin Xinyue spoke up, "A three-way trade is also acceptable. If Jinxing has any information or treasure that piques my interest, I can chip in as well."
Lei Jun said, "I don't mind if others want to join in. I'm just not sure if what I have can impress anyone. I also have a bottle of White Lotus Frost Dew, originally from the White Lotus Sect. The quantity isn't much, but the quality is excellent."
Taiyin Xinyue pondered, "White Lotus Frost Dew..."
Before she could reply, Lei Jun suddenly received a private message from another person.
It was from Xuxing Moley of Jupiter: "May the White Lotus Frost Dew be offered to this monk. This monk is willing to provide Zhengxing Duyao with the Confucian celestial treasures he needs in return."
Since he had already revealed his identity to Lei Jun, he spoke frankly.
Lei Jun didn't ask why he had a large number of Confucian celestial treasures and directly agreed, "Alright, thank you, Master."
Xuxing Moley of Jupiter said, "You're too kind, we're just helping each other."
Thus, a semi-concealed three-way trade took place.
Lei Jun obtained the Spirit Void Immortal Fruits from Zhengxing Duyao of Saturn, who in turn received a large number of Confucian celestial treasures for cultivation from Xuxing Moley of Jupiter. Xuxing Moley of Jupiter received the White Lotus Frost Dew from Lei Jun.
Such transactions were not uncommon in the Celestial Book Cosmos, and after such a long period of cooperation, everyone was used to it.
Aside from Lei Jun and the other two, the others didn't ask too many questions.
Taiyin Xinyue changed the subject, "My question is the same as before. I want to ask about Chen Donglou, the elder of the Shu Mountain Sect, and in addition, Master Faqing of Tianlong Temple. Does anyone know anything about them?"
Lei Jun remained calm and collected.
Xuxing Moley of Jupiter spoke up, "I've heard some rumors about Master Faqing of Tianlong Temple, but they are unverified."
Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly but remained silent.
Taiyin Xinyue replied, "That's fine, we can talk about it later."
At this time, Riyang Xingri also spoke up.
However, after interacting more with Empress Zhang Wantong, Lei Jun felt that when he heard Riyang Xingri speak, the latter's tone and choice of words were completely unguarded: "Kingo Realm.
Over the years, the questions she had raised in the Celestial Book Cosmos were mostly related to the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions.
Initially, she inquired about news of the Sumeru Vajra Department.
Lei Jun had once obtained a Earth Spirit Flaming Heart from them in exchange.
After that, their questions started to escalate.
On the previous occasions, her question evolved into:
"Aside from the Vajra Department, do the other four departments of the Vajra Realm truly exist? Who has confirmed information or related details?"
No answer was needed, as the question itself piqued the interest of Lei Jun and the others.
When the Sumeru Vajra Department first appeared, Lei Jun, together with Yuan Mobai, Wang Guiyuan, and others, had discussed the Western Regions' Buddhist sects and considered this matter.
When it came to the Vajra Realm, the Buddhist scriptures mentioned that it comprised five departments: the Lotus Department, Vajra Department, Buddha Department, Treasure Department, and the Karma Department, also known as the Yamantaka Department.
However, Sumeru remained shrouded in mystery, making it difficult for outsiders to discern its true nature. It was hard to tell if they were exaggerating or if they were indeed hiding their true strength.
Xu Yuanzhen had once said that the disciples of the Buddhist sects in Sumeru came from diverse backgrounds before they took their vows, but the specifics were still unknown.
Due to Li Qingfeng's demise, she was now prioritizing her inquiries with Huang Xuanpu, putting Sumeru and the Great Ming Empire on hold for the time being, despite her curiosity about them.
"I'm not sure if the other four departments of the Vajra Realm exist, but I do have some information about the Sumeru Vajra Department here." Chen Xing Wuyi spoke up.
Taiyang Riyi asked, "What do you want in exchange?"
Chen Xing Wuyi replied, "Let's discuss this privately."
"Alright," Taiyang Riyi agreed.
Shen Qu Bing, the sole representative of the Mars Star, was absent this time.
Others did not inquire much about the reason for his absence.
Lei Jun had heard that there had been some disturbances in the Southern Wilderness recently.
The Great Tang and the Jiuli had resumed hostilities.
Shen Qu Bing was in the Southern Wilderness, and he might be engaged in a battle at that very moment. It would be best not to disturb him for the time being.
For Lei Jun, this transaction was considered a success as he obtained the large quantity of Spirit Void Immortal Fruits that he needed.
Although he didn't know where Fang Yue got these immortal fruits, which had almost become extinct in the human world of the Great Tang, Lei Jun thoroughly examined them and found no issues, so he accepted them without hesitation.
As for the White Lotus Frost Dew obtained from Luoyang, it was only right to give it to the future Maitreya of the White Lotus Sect.
Then, the future Maitreya would provide Fang Yue with the vast amount of heavenly treasures needed for his cultivation, thus concluding this three-way exchange.
However, after retrieving the Spirit Void Immortal Fruits, Lei Jun did not use them immediately.
He needed to make some preparations first.
Now that he knew that Fang Yue had the immortal fruits, he could consider openly trading with him again in the future for a small quantity. Then, he could cultivate them in the Medicine Garden on the mountain, attempting to grow new Spirit Void Immortal Trees.
Although this would undoubtedly be a long and challenging process, Lei Jun was determined to see it through.
Although Lei Jun's identity as Taibai Jinxing in the Celestial Book Cosmos had never been a secret to the Empress, as his cultivation progressed, he no longer had to worry about his identity being revealed to others.
However, it was not Lei Jun's habit to reveal himself intentionally. If others could discern his identity, then so be it.
As autumn turned to winter, the end of the year approached.
There were no transmissions or ordinations this year, but there was always a grand ceremony to mark the new year.
Since the Celestial Master, Tang Xiaotang, was not on the mountain at the moment, the grand ceremony was presided over by a high-achieving elder.
The person chosen to lead the ceremony this time was Lei Jun.
Yuan Mobai was in seclusion, Yao Yuan resided in the back mountains, and Xu Yuanzhen was away. Shangguan Ning and Zhang Jingzhen, along with other middle-stage elders, assisted Lei Jun from the sidelines.
The ceremony proceeded according to the established rituals and concluded successfully.
That winter, Lei Jun used the Forget-Me-Not Smoke and White Jade Bodhi to temper his soul, enhancing its resilience while retaining its agility and sharpness.
As winter faded and spring arrived, one morning, Lei Jun sat in the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven, his mental state in sync with the rising sun.
With the sunrise, his soul began to tremble and detached from his physical body.
Upon reaching the Eightfold Heaven Realm, the soul and body of a Fu Lu sect cultivator become closely intertwined, affecting their vitality. They merge their spiritual power and techniques to form the Divine Tribunal.
However, it does not hinder the cultivator from continuing to transform their soul.
Lei Jun, at this moment, caused his soul to evolve and manifest outside his body, resembling the transformation of an external alchemy cultivator's immortal soul.
With a thought, strands of Primordial Magnetic Force, centered on his physical body's location in the Jade Touring Immortal Mountain, expanded outward.
As he was the only one in the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven at the moment, he could exert his full strength without restraint.
The Primordial Magnetic Force spread widely, covering the entire Jade Touring Immortal Mountain and affecting half of the Cave Heaven.
Purple Nine Divine Thunders descended from above, clashing with the terrestrial magnetic force, creating a distinct division within the Cave Heaven.
Purple thunder raged in the upper half, while white magnetic force churned in the lower half.
Even in such an environment, Lei Jun's soul remained unharmed as it left his body.
The effects of the Forget-Me-Not Smoke and White Jade Bodhi tempering were evident.
He silently channeled his spiritual power.
The pale terrestrial magnetic force gradually became invisible.
At this moment, several Primordial Gold Sword Pills hovered around Lei Jun's body.
Sword lights flashed across the sky, one after another.
Lei Jun displayed his Primordial Magnetic Flying Sword technique, which was more agile and swift than before.
More importantly, within the vast range covered by the Primordial Magnetic Force, although the "sword lights" maintained their straightforward trajectory, embodying Elder Lei's unwavering style and might, they could be redirected by his Primordial Magnetic Force.
Moreover, even at a distance, the same sword pill could be manipulated to fly back and forth twice with the agitation of the Primordial Magnetic Force!
Thus, sword lights flashed continuously across the wide area, crisscrossing from different directions.
And so, it could gradually be called the Primordial Magnetic Sword Realm... Lei Jun silently contemplated, constantly summarizing and improving his technique.
The consumption of spiritual power was enormous.
Currently, it was still only the Primordial Gold Sword Pills, and if he were to use a treasure like the Seven Star Sword, its might would certainly be greater, but the consumption would also be more significant.
The control range was already quite large, but there were still some limitations.
Moreover, the overall commotion it created was quite loud, making it difficult to conceal.
These were all areas that needed further improvement and progress... Lei Jun nodded repeatedly.
Although there were still many problems, this type of research brought him great joy.
Gradually, as he gathered the Two Extremes Heavenly Principle and a large amount of Primordial Magnetic Force, Lei Jun's soul returned to his physical body.
Inside the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven, everything returned to normal, and the sky above Green Jade Immortal Mountain restored its former appearance.
After a brief respite to recover his spiritual power, Lei Jun began to cultivate in another aspect.
First, the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture and the Black Mystery Five Thunder Scripture appeared.
A purple Yang Thunder Dragon and a black Yin Thunder Dragon coiled around Lei Jun's body.
Then, the purple and black twin dragons began to merge, and the Yin and Yang twin thunders resonated together.
Under Lei Jun's deliberate control, a brilliant light began to burst forth from where the two forces intersected.
The light was dazzling, radiating in all directions.
However, Lei Jun's expression remained thoughtful, and he said nothing.
He waved his hand, and the newly refined Hao Ran Xuan Gui appeared.
The dazzling light of the Yin and Yang twin thunders, in conjunction with the Hao Ran Xuan Gui, caused boundless and majestic Hao Ran Qi to emerge, and the light transformed into a colorful spectacle.
Lei Jun fell into deep thought.
Among the three major techniques passed down by the Celestial Master's Mansion, he now understood them all. In addition, he had also created the Tian Chen Yan Zu technique and the Xuan Xiao Lei Zu technique.
Putting aside the latter two for now, the former three were infinitely profound, and even when Lei Jun successfully advanced to the Nine Heavens realm, he could continue to ponder and research them.
However, as Lei Jun's cultivation continued to improve, many of his original ideas could be further put into practice.
Just like the Five Thunder Talisman, the Two Extremes Primordial Magnetism Curse, and the Sky-Viewing Earth-Hearing Talisman before.
At that time, when his Thunder Dao reaches the Nine Heavens realm, and he begins to cultivate a new innate divine ability, he will once again be unable to suppress his desire to experiment and add his own flair.
To be precise, he already had a plan in mind.
The problem was that he had too many ideas and had to decide how to choose and organize them.
Lei Jun dismissed the Yin and Yang twin dragons, left the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven, and then waved his hand towards the sky above.
The Great Ultimate Heaven Mirror descended once more.
As Lei Jun examined the Great Ultimate Heaven Mirror, he took out a piece of Shen Xiao Liu Jin from his collection.
Recalling the brilliant light that burst forth when the Yin and Yang thunders merged earlier, Lei Jun fell into deep thought once more.
Later that day, he returned to the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven.
This time, what he condensed was no longer the Yin and Yang twin thunder dragons.
Instead, it was a pair of Yin and Yang twin fire tigers.
The Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor technique and the Tian Chen Flame Ancestor technique worked together, with tongues of fire intertwining and intertwining.
The Great Ultimate Heaven Mirror hung in mid-air, refining the Nine Abyss True Fire and Tian Chen True Fire through the fusion of Yin and Yang.
In addition, he needed to find a spirit crystal that was rich in spiritual energy but pure, to cooperate with the Yin and Yang twin thunders. Then, he could consider combining the Great Ultimate Heaven Mirror with the Shen Xiao Liu Jin... Lei Jun nodded slightly, a plan gradually forming in his mind.
Later, the Great Ultimate Heaven Mirror was sent back up into the sky.
Upon returning to the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven, the green Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor technique disappeared, leaving only the Tian Chen Flame Ancestor technique, burning like a great sun.
Lei Jun carefully controlled the technique, and the image of the Yang Fire Tiger faded, as the Tian Chen True Fire continued to burn and compress, gradually taking on a sense of weight.
It was as if a true Tian Chen Great Sun had appeared within the Upper Clarity Thunder Palace Cave Heaven.
Aside from a limited area above the Green Jade Immortal Mountain, the originally purple sky within the Cave Heaven began to brighten, resembling the real sky outside.
Lei Jun sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, silently absorbing and exhaling, constantly refining the Tian Chen fire above him.
Time passed quietly.
Winter turned to spring, and spring turned to summer.
After celebrating his fifty-fifth birthday last summer during his journey outside, Lei Jun now welcomed his fifty-sixth birthday in the summer of this year.
On a summer day, Lei Jun was in his cave abode, merging the Yin and Yang twin thunders and gathering them above the Lei Xin Furnace to refine a pill.
This pill was called the Xu Jing Dan, a true legacy of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
The pill formula had been passed down, but the divine pill had been lost for a long time.
This was because one of the main ingredients had disappeared from the mortal world of the Tang Dynasty for many years.
It was the Ling Xu Immortal Fruit.
Now that the celestial and earthly spiritual energy was surging, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Branches had returned, the Ling Xu Immortal Fruit had finally reappeared.
The Xu Jing Dan could also be recreated.
"Hug Hug, come and watch the pill furnace for your master."
Lei Jun's heart stirred, and he summoned his senior disciple to give him a rub.
"Yes, Master." Zhuo Bao Jie calmly tidied the fur on his head and then asked curiously, "What's going on, Master?"
Lei Jun: "Your Shizu has come out of seclusion."
Leaving his disciple to watch the pill furnace, Lei Jun went to Yuan Mobai's cave abode.
Soon, the cave abode opened.
Brilliant starlight flowed within.
Lei Jun: "Congratulations, Shifu, on your success."
A young Daoist dressed in purple, with a spring breeze-like countenance, emerged. It was Yuan Mobai, and he smiled, "I was able to succeed so quickly thanks to Chongyun's Buddhist Breath Immortal Gourd."
"Disciple dares not take credit."
Lei Jun's expression at this moment was similar to Zhuo Bao Jie's. First, he was solemn, and then he asked curiously, "Shifu, have you cultivated the Divine Court External Realm? What is it like?"
Yuan Mobai: "I have achieved a small success."
As he spoke, layers of starlight radiated out from him, forming a vast galaxy in Lei Jun's vision.
However, upon closer inspection, Lei Jun noticed that the galaxy seemed to transform into a majestic city.
