Chapter 394: The Great Purity Cave of Immortal Ascension (Part 2)

With constant consultations between Chu Yu and Ouyang Jingyuan, they even arranged for more exchanges and interactions between the two dynasties in the future.
Lei Jun remained calm about all this.
After the Battle of Datong, his presence in Datong and the Great Han human realm began to fade.

It seems so.
Lei Jun spent most of his time and energy handling related matters in Datong.
The Five Princes became history, and the Zhou Emperor and the Sixteen Kingdoms still remained.
In addition to dealing with the Tang imperial family, the key figures they visited were the members of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.
"There are a few promising candidates."
Chu Kun sat with Lei Jun and said, "The son of King Zhou, Xin Lu, and the prince of Rong Kingdom, Qiu Ming, are both outstanding."
Lei Jun asked, "Oh? If I remember correctly, they are both only sons."
Chu Kun nodded, "Yes."
Whether it was Xin Lu or Qiu Ming, they were currently the only heirs to their fathers.
But without asking, they knew that if they truly joined the Heavenly Master's Mansion of the Tang Dragon and Tiger Mountain, they would have no chance of succeeding their fathers' positions in the future.
King Zhou and the ruler of Rong Kingdom would surely sire other heirs and groom them for succession.
Xin Lu's and Qiu Ming's thoughts, as well as those of their fathers, were not difficult to guess.
Having a place in the Heavenly Master's Mansion would surely influence the situation in Datong.
However, from a personal perspective, joining the Heavenly Master's Mansion did not guarantee a smooth and worry-free path.
One's achievements would still depend on one's talent and even luck.
"There's no rush."
Lei Jun said, "Let them travel through the Tang world first, broadening their horizons while also adapting to the environment.
As for whether they will be guided back to our sect to cultivate the Dao, it will depend on their individual karma and affinity. There's no need to force it. Let's inform them of this early on and let them make their own decisions."
Chu Kun replied, "Yes, Master Brother."
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang stayed in Datong instead of entering the Han world.
As time passed, Tang Xiaotang gradually became a little impatient.
Since they were not entering the Han world for the time being, she bid Lei Jun farewell and returned to the Tang world.
The Grand Preceptor of Tang worked on cultivating her magical powers and perfecting her Taoist methods while also beginning to focus on her own research.
After the battle of Datong, she wanted to reopen the portals to the Earthly Sea and the Yellow Springs.
Tang Xiaotang had always felt resentful about the day when she was forcibly pushed back to the mortal world by the Forgetful River and the tidal waves of the Earthly Sea.
Although she did not possess a Universal Immortal Body like Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang had achieved the Primordial Dao Body and comprehended the Primordial肇 Yuan Method and the肇 Yuan Pearl's law. She began to ponder whether she could also open a portal.
Lei Jun remained temporarily in Datong to preside over matters.
The aftermath of Datong's various affairs was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the Tang world, the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Dragon and Tiger Mountain was managed by elders like Yuan Mobai and Shangguan Ning, who were high-achieving cultivators.
If there were any matters that required Lei Jun's decision, they would send a message to him.
After things got on the right track, Lei Jun's presence in Datong was more of a symbolic gesture.
Usually, he would meditate and cultivate his newly refined divine powers, the Shenxiao Pure Yang Falu, and the Lingxiao Pure Yin Falu, as well as refine the Six Dragon Heart Essences.
These heavenly treasures had already been processed by Confucian experts and stored in a specially made vessel.
The six colors of blood essence seemed to flow with radiant light, coming together and scattering, scattering and reuniting, constantly undergoing changes between harmonious unity and distinct separation.
Until Lei Jun refined them with his magical powers.
Then the six rays of light scattered, soared into the sky, and turned into six light dragons in the air.
As these six light dragons whirled and danced, wondrous spiritual energy surged forth from them.
Although it was already filled with the essence of culture and grandeur, as Lei Jun reached out and pointed, those cultural and grand essences instantly turned back into pure spiritual energy.
Lei Jun unfolded his Great Vehicle Dao Scene: Primordial Chaos Universe.
The six-colored light dragons flew into it together and continued to whirl and intertwine.
Lei Jun himself sat in the center of the universe, quietly meditating, breathing and adjusting his breath, and observing the divine within.
As the light dragons' scales opened and closed, strands of light flew out from them, continuously empowering Lei Jun.
As the six-colored light streams converged, they seemed to form a huge heart that enveloped Lei Jun.
The heart throbbed, radiating vigorous vitality and spiritual power.
Later.
The gigantic heart, condensed from radiant light, began to contract and sank into Lei Jun's body, as if merging with his own heart.
The related spiritual power had not yet been completely refined by Lei Jun.
In the following days, he could slowly refine and carefully polish it.
After retracting his Great Vehicle Dao Scene, Lei Jun's eyes shone with the brilliance of the Heavenly Vision and Earth-Penetrating Falu.
The senior sister, Xu Yuanzhen, sent a message from the Han world.
There were two points that caught Xu Yuanzhen's interest and also attracted Lei Jun's attention.
First, the fact that Ji Daocheng and others had caused the entire Han Dragon and Tiger Mountain to hide in the Taiqing Duren Cave Heaven was indeed quite suspicious.
Second, the lineage of the Han Dragon and Tiger Mountain might be related to one of the Nine Heavens, Kunlun.
Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Lei Jun fell into deep thought.
He remained in Datong, refraining from any impulsive actions.
After some time, many cultivators from the Tang Dynasty entered Datong, marking the official start of further exchanges and communications between the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The two sides were no longer limited to meetings in Datong; instead, cultivators formally began to visit each other's worlds.
According to the previous agreement, the first batch of cultivators would be organized by the Tang Dynasty to visit the Han world.
This first batch would not involve the courts of either side.
At the same time, the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, which had shown great strength in the Battle of Datong, would also not send anyone to participate.
This group of Tang cultivators was mainly composed of heirs from Buddhist and Taoist sacred sites.
Passing through Datong on their way to the Han world, they naturally paid a visit to the Heavenly Master Lei Jun, who was stationed there.
"Elder Wang, Master Kongjing, Master Jidao, and Master Shou Nian, thank you all for your hard work on this trip," Lei Jun saw them off.
This time, apart from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, no one from Tianlong Temple set off either.
It was not that Abbot Miaoxin and Elder Miaokong were being exclusionary, but because there was currently no Tianlong Temple lineage in the Han world.
This Buddhist lineage, which had vowed to uphold the Dharma, had already perished in the history of the Han world.
However, the Pure Yang Palace, Shu Mountain Sect, Hanging Heaven Temple, and Bodhi Temple still had successors in the Han world.

Although they were not as powerful as the Dragon-Tiger Mountains, the Great Han Empty Temple, and the Sumeru Treasure Sect, their incense offerings remained uninterrupted.
Thus, for this trip, the representatives selected by the Great Tang would first be chosen from these four sects.
"The Heavenly Master, along with the Tang Kingdom Teacher and Master Xu, have worked hard." Elder Wang Xuan of Pure Yang Palace smiled, "I, on the other hand, have reaped the benefits of your labor."
This trip to the Great Han by the Pure Yang Palace disciples was led by Elder Wang.
Through the refinement of the blood and jade essence previously gifted by Lei Jun, Elder Wang of the Pure Yang Palace had finally succeeded in reincarnating his physical body and no longer bore the appearance of a Nascent Soul escaping its shell.
Thus, he felt deeply grateful to Lei Jun.
Lei Jun: "Elder Wang is too kind."
Although Tang Xiaotang had left Datong, with Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen present in Datong and the Great Han, Elder Wang and the others should not face any major obstacles.
In addition to Elder Wang of Pure Yang Palace, who had achieved the Infant Transformation realm of the丹鼎派, there was also an Eightfold Heaven cultivator among the group, the monk Kong Jing of the Suspended Heaven Temple.
Back when the Suspended Heaven Temple was embroiled in internal strife, Master Kong Jing had only attained the Seventhfold Heaven realm, but now, after many years, he had successfully ascended to the next level.
Among the various inheritances, the Buddhist tradition of self-discipline was relatively lenient when it came to age requirements for advancing in cultivation.
However, due to its emphasis on asceticism, the number of monks in the temple had always been limited.
After the initial turmoil and split, the number of disciples had dwindled even further.
The invasion of the Lone Eagle Khanate and the battle at Yunzhou had completely destroyed the mountain gate of the Suspended Heaven Temple.
Fortunately, Abbot Ning Ru, Master Kong Jing, and other experts of the temple had survived, and with the support of the Tang Imperial Family, they had managed to regain their footing.
The other Buddhist sacred ground, Bodhi Temple, had been recovering silently for around forty years since its calamity.
This time, the Bodhi Temple disciple sent to the Great Han was led by Elder Shou Nian, a young monk not yet fifty years old, who had entered the sect after the calamity and the establishment of South Bodhi, and had now attained the Seventhfold Heaven realm, becoming one of the new Upper Three Heavens monks of Bodhi Temple.
His dignified bearing and serene countenance marked him as a standout among the group led by Wang Xuan and Master Kong Jing.
The Great Tang's Shushan Sect also dispatched a young high-achieving elder on this trip to the Great Han, none other than the familiar face of Ji Chuan.
"I heard that Elder Ji has been in seclusion lately, preparing to challenge the Eighthfold Heaven realm?" Lei Jun inquired as they reminisced.
Ji Chuan replied, "That is correct."
His father, Ji Dongquan, was a venerable elder of the Shushan Sect, having lived for over three hundred years.
However, his profound expertise in the Daoist art of artifact refinement had kept him occupied, and for various reasons, he had never attempted to cross the heavenly tribulation between the Seventh and Eighth Heavens.
With the Great Tang enjoying stable times, the Shushan Sect was finally emerging from its low point and rising again.
Amidst the surging waves of spiritual energy, inspiration flourished.
Now, Ji Dongquan had finally set his heart on taking this step.
Having surpassed the optimal cultivation age of two hundred years for Upper Three Heavens cultivators, he had entered the plateau phase, and although he had not yet reached four hundred, there was still a possibility of further advancement, albeit with significantly increased difficulty compared to younger cultivators like his son, Ji Chuan.
However, given Lei Jun's understanding of Ji Dongquan, his decision to take on this challenge likely meant that he had a good chance of success.
"Elder Ji has profound accumulation, and this endeavor will surely be as easy as walking on flat ground," Lei Jun commented to Ji Chuan.
Ji Chuan: "In this matter, I can only offer my well-wishes and prayers for my father."
After exchanging a few more words, Ji Chuan departed with the Shushan Sect disciples who had accompanied him to meet up with Wang Xuan and the others, and together, they set off for the Great Han.
There, they would be received by representatives of the Han court and the four major Buddhist and Daoist sacred grounds.
Lei Jun remained quietly in Datong, maintaining a low profile yet commanding respect.
However, none within or without Datong dared to underestimate his presence.
After Ji Chuan, Wang Xuan, and the others had left, another group of Heavenly Master's Mansion disciples arrived in Datong later that day.
They were not preparing to venture into the Great Han but were there to hone their skills and gain experience.
Among them was a short elder clad in a deep red Daoist robe, his stature not tall but rather stout, with black and white hair peeking out from his collar.
It was none other than the Great Tang Dragon-Tiger Mountain's sole remaining personally taught disciple of the Heavenly Master, Zhu Bojie.
He also served as the Scripture-Conferring Elder of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, often tasked with various missions.
This trip to Datong for cultivation training was led by Elder Zhu, but he had his own matters to attend to as well.
He was preparing to attempt the breakthrough to the Seventhfold Heaven realm.
Having the opportunity to follow by his master, Lei Jun's, side and learn from him was a boon for Elder Zhu.
After instructing his foremost disciple, Lei Jun quietly observed his cultivation.
Seeing that Elder Zhu had swiftly brought all aspects under control, Lei Jun slightly nodded, his gaze shifting elsewhere.
His attention turned to another individual among this batch of Heavenly Master's Mansion disciples, one who evoked a slight surprise in Lei Jun.
Qin Caiwei.
In Lei Jun's impression, she rarely ventured out.
But this time, she had actively signed up for the trip to Datong.
That in itself was not surprising.
However, Lei Jun's intuition suggested that there was more to it, though he couldn't pinpoint any ulterior motive and thus refrained from prying into her privacy.
"So this is Datong?"
Qin Caiwei's eyes sparkled with delight as she took in the sights of Datong, "This trip has been more than worth it!"
She paused briefly before glancing around, then lowered her voice, "Are you heading to the Dragon-Tiger Mountain in the Great Han?
I thought you would be going with Elder Ji of the Shushan Sect.
Hmm...no rush, let's observe for a bit more.
But I heard that the Dragon-Tiger Mountain has disappeared without a trace due to the Taiqing Duren Grotto.
Oh, it's fine, I'm in no hurry. I plan to stay in Datong for a few more years."
