Chapter 540: Five Immortals (Part 2 of 2) (Part 2)
"Apart from that, there are other Daoists from the Talisman Sect appearing in both the Mortal Realm and the Celestial Realm, and they are likely from the same sect as those two Daoist nuns."
The Dark Profound Demon Saint solemnly reported, "The continuous appearance of the Daoists from the Talisman Sect is puzzling. We don't know what they are planning."
T
The Dark Profound Demon Saint agreed, "Yes, Imperial Lord."
The other party withdrew.
The Demon Dragon Imperial Lord's eyes shone with purple starlight as he silently watched the other's figure disappear.
Chu Kun communicated with Lei Jun in the Demon World, "He and Huating, my junior disciple, are likely from the same great thousand world as us. Based on my current relationship with the Time Abyss, the various signs indicate that they might also be from there."
Breaking his usual habit of being cautious, he took a rare risk and gained significant insights: "Furthermore, based on the current situation, I believe that the source of the Beyond World Demons is not consistent."
Lei Jun understood, "Apart from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths great thousand world where we are, the Scholar Forest great thousand world, and the Demon World, there are likely at least two other great thousand worlds."
Chu Kun said, "Currently, there are only three tributaries in the Time Abyss, and we don't know the specific situation of the other two great thousand worlds. We also don't understand why the Beyond World Demons can invade the Scholar Forest."
Lei Jun replied, "Your ascension to immortality has brought some changes, but they have not fully manifested yet, and the reasons are also unclear."
He and Wang Gui Yuan had prepared for a long time, specifically for precautions. Zhang Wantu and Yan Aoyun were also paying attention, but despite the Time Abyss's tremors, no real changes occurred.
Currently, it is not yet appropriate to determine which side has more advantages.
Lei Jun said, "Let's go with the flow and focus on accumulating our strength. Were you able to successfully create a secluded paradise of your own in that world?"
"
Through the previous encounters with Tang Xiaotang and Zhao Chanyang, Lei Jun and others could now roughly understand the situation of the demons in the Celestial Realm.
The most famous and formidable demons, in addition to the Demon Dragon Imperial Lord, were several other Demon Saints.
The Dark Profound Celestial Turtle, who occupied the Big Dipper in the starry river of the Demon World.
The Heavenly Trigram Tiger King, who occupied the Seven Kill Star in the starry river of the Demon World.
The Golden Crow Great Sun, who previously occupied the Sun Star in the starry river of the Demon World and cultivated a body of demonic energy.
Among the many Immortal Realm Demon Saints, these were the most renowned demons. In addition, there were many other powerful demons.
Chu Kun indeed had good fortune on this trip, as it seemed he would successfully create his own private domain.
Furthermore, according to Chu Kun's previous speculations, this private domain might not only be related to the Demon World but also closely connected to the Time Abyss.
Chu Kun said softly, "It's hard to say about other gains, but on this trip to the Demon World, by chance, I obtained some Heavenly Auspices."
"Oh?" Lei Jun was slightly surprised, "That's indeed an unexpected joy."
The Heavenly Auspices was one of the crucial opportunities needed for the Ten Thousand Phenomena Holy Body to evolve into the Forest of Ten Thousand Immortal Body.
After Lei Jun and the others expelled the Radiant Light Venerable from the Saha World, Xu Yuanzhen discovered the Heavenly Auspices there, which led to Xin Beiyuan's Forest of Ten Thousand Immortal Body.
Since then, this treasure had not been seen again.
Originally, it was thought that Chi Haifeng might have to wait for a long time, or even the possibility of never obtaining it. Now, it was unclear whether Chu Kun's luck was good or Lei Jun's luck was good.

In the world of demons, the Buddhist teachings once gained great fortune, and even after a hundred-legged worm dies, it doesn't stiffen immediately. Some remnants remain, and it's not entirely impossible for them to be revived."
Lei Jun spoke, "In this vast sea, there is such an opportunity, and it's a good thing."
Chu Kun nodded, "Indeed, after handling the matters at hand, I'll send these things back."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guiyuan couldn't help but sigh, "In just a few decades, two Ten Thousand Phenomena Holy Bodies have emerged, it truly is a heavenly blessed opportunity."
In recent years, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion has been collecting various heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, far more than in the past.
On one hand, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion has been producing exceptional experts.
On the other hand, it has expanded its reach beyond the human realm of the Tang Dynasty. After the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths reappeared, communication with other human realms was reestablished, and the influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged. With the merging of the human realms, long-lost treasures began to reappear.
In recent years, there has been increased interaction and exchange with other world systems, promoting mutual benefit.
The sources of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures have become increasingly diverse.
All of this, in turn, has promoted the emergence of talents within the Celestial Master Mansion, rapidly enhancing its strength and forming a positive cycle.
Even so, after Xin Beiyuan's short few decades, they managed to gather the resources for the opportunity to transform from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Holy Body to the Ten Thousand Immortal Body, which still surprised everyone, including Lei Jun.
However, with the opportunity at hand, the Celestial Master Mansion naturally welcomed it.
Following the flow of fate, they didn't see such good luck in other aspects, so they weren't anxious.
Just as Wang Guiyuan sighed, he didn't immediately plan to venture into the demon world. Instead, he continued his cultivation at his own pace.
"Regarding the second level of the Golden Body, have you made any progress, Senior Brother?" Lei Jun asked.
Wang Guiyuan replied, "It's still far off, and I need to explore it carefully."
As if knowing what Lei Jun wanted to say, he preemptively added, "It's truly far off, don't think too much about it!"
Lei Jun said, "I wasn't thinking of anything else; it's you who's overthinking."
Wang Guiyuan repeatedly shook his head, interrupting Lei Jun's continuous transmission of the Lifeforce Art Talisman Art.
He turned to look at Elder Zhuo, who was standing beside him.
Elder Zhuo, with his intense gaze, stared at the distant Time Abyss, as if ignoring everything that had just happened.
After succeeding Elder Xunfeng, he traveled the four directions, and he was already recognized as the next Celestial Master.
Elder Xunfeng's term was usually three years, but Elder Zhuo didn't step down immediately. Instead, he continued his duties until the present.
Aside from the various branches of the Talisman Sect within the Daoist School, Elder Zhuo also traveled to other Daoist schools, holy lands, human realms, and even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. In recent years, his connections have become increasingly extensive.
This time, he came to the Scholar Forest World System.
The Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion is becoming more prosperous, and its influence is no longer limited to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World System.
If the position of the Celestial Master were to change, it wouldn't just be a matter of concern within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World System.
Therefore, Elder Zhuo will also be heading to the Scholar Forest World System, paying respects to Yan Aoyun, Jiao Feiyang, and other Confucian Sage Masters and Saints, and visiting various Confucian academies.
At the same time, he has also been invited to visit the Luofu Mountain.
Elder Zhuo, with his Ninth Heaven cultivation realm, travels through the Time Abyss. While it's not impossible, there are still risks involved.
However, Master Lei Jun has specifically bestowed upon him the Taiqing Eight Sceneries Treasure Cloak for protection.
"Be extra careful on the way." Wang Guiyuan draped another monk's robe over Elder Zhuo's shoulders...
Feeling it wasn't sufficient, he took out a begging bowl for Elder Zhuo to hold.
"Disciple will follow the teachings of the master," Elder Zhuo said. Although he felt that wearing a monk's robe over his Daoist robe looked a bit strange, for safety reasons, he didn't hesitate to wrap himself tightly in the robe, holding the begging bowl with both hands, his cautious demeanor earning nods of approval from Wang Guiyuan, who praised him for being well-taught.
Elder Zhuo thanked Wang Guiyuan and bid farewell before stepping into the Time Abyss.
...
In the Ten Earths, within the Lian Mountain range.
Although many high-ranking members of the Xiao and Ye families perished, some members of the Xiao and Ye families who had followed Xiao Jing into the human realm of the Han Dynasty to escape the Great Catastrophe of the Great Unity still lived in the Lian Mountains, and after several decades of reproduction, their bloodline had gradually regained some vitality.
However, unease lingered in everyone's hearts.
It wasn't just because Xiao Jing and other high-ranking members of their clans had gone to the human realm and never returned.
It was also because the owner of the Lian Mountains, Jiang Fengge, hadn't appeared for many years. The courtyard surrounded by mountains seemed abandoned.
Their relationship with the He Xuan Mountain people was more intricate than the outside world imagined, especially for the Ye family.
Relying on the protection of the He Xuan Mountain people, they had moved here, but deep down, they felt uneasy.
They hoped Jiang Fengge would never appear again, but due to the unfavorable situation in the human realm and the various imperial dynasties, there was a possibility that the Daoist School and the imperial courts might invade the Lian Mountains, making it difficult for them to continue occupying this place.
With all these conflicting emotions, everyone felt extremely conflicted.
Until one day, the courtyard where Jiang Fengge resided suddenly emitted a burst of literary talent that soared into the sky, shining brightly and shaking the entire Lian Mountain range.
The Xiao, Ye, and Lin family members who had taken refuge here saw this and felt a mix of disappointment, worry, and relief, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
But before they could sort out their thoughts, the Lian Mountains underwent another transformation.
Black smoke rose straight up.
Everyone was astonished.
A member of the Xiao family from the Great Unity, who had followed Xiao Jing into the human realm of the Han Dynasty and survived until now, initially surprised, suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and in a somewhat distorted voice filled with panic and despair, he exclaimed,
"The Iron Blood Loyal Soul Great Sacrifice?"
The changes in the Lian Mountains were similar to the Great Sacrifice performed by the Five Peaks of the Great Unity, where countless lives were offered to try and stop Lei Jun and others.
However, the Great Sacrifice at the Five Peaks was used for defense against enemies, while the situation in the Lian Mountains was for nourishing the master of this place, Jiang Fengge.
There was no suspense, no room for resistance.
And so, no one could survive this calamity.
The members of the Xiao, Ye, and Lin families, whether voluntarily or forced, burned their bodies and souls, "offering" themselves to Jiang Fengge, who had been in seclusion for many years.
The Lian Mountains were turned upside down.
The originally inconspicuous courtyard in the mountains remained quiet.
Only the soaring scholarly vital energy, like a pillar of heaven, pierced through the Lian Mountains, supporting and connecting them, also linking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this area, circulating endlessly.
After an unknown amount of time, the Lian Mountains gradually returned to peace.
In the world, there was no bloodshed, no corpses.
However, there was also no sign of the many people who had taken refuge there before.
Under the burning flames, everything turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Within the separate courtyard, Jiang Fengge's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Only the immortal monument he had erected stood tall, unmoving for many years.
There was no change until the Lian Mountains shook and returned to normal.
At that moment, a breeze suddenly blew from an unknown direction.
As the gentle wind brushed past, Jiang Fengge's figure reappeared beside the immortal monument, appearing as calm and unharmed as before, no different from the past.
But that mysterious wind had already revealed everything.
Gentleman Virtuous Wind, or Immortal Virtuous Wind.
Achieving the three incorruptible realms of establishing words, establishing merit, and establishing virtue, reaching the triple realm of the Confucian Sage, the Sage King, was the only way to achieve such mystery.
After many years of planning, Jiang Fengge finally took this step.
His expression was as usual, showing no joy.
Instead, after flipping through the scrolls in the courtyard, Jiang Fengge frowned slightly.
The last news of Zheng Baiyu was nearly twenty years ago when he had a mishap in the Scholar Forest World.
After that, Jiang Fengge also lost contact with Zheng Baiyu.
Jiang Fengge didn't pay much attention to this; what he cared about was why Zheng Baiyu did this and what he was planning, and what it implied.
It didn't seem to be because of Gao Tian Sui.
Is it related to Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong, and others?
Zheng Baiyu intentionally ceased contact with Jiang Fengge.
It wasn't that he harbored ill intentions towards Jiang Fengge, but that he changed his approach and shifted his thinking.
Not only did Zheng Baiyu cut off contact with Jiang Fengge, but he also stopped communicating with others.
He quietly and patiently waited in the Demon Capital.
In recent years, the Beyond World Demons have not made any significant moves, except for a few exceptions; they no longer invaded the Scholar Forest World.
Zheng Baiyu wasn't worried about this.
The matters of the Scholar Forest World had already passed, and the opportunity to prepare for the sacrificial rituals and ceremonies was rare; there was only one chance, and after missing it, Zheng Baiyu couldn't repeat it.
Next, he could only look to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths World.
However, there was a problem.
The opponents in that world had a deeper understanding and more accurate judgment of him than he had anticipated.
Despite his painstaking efforts, in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths World's Concealment and the previous Scholar Forest World's Yuzhou, he had already suffered two major losses.
The first time, even Gao Tian Sui misjudged and went to the Saha World before rushing to Concealment.
If it was said that Zhang Wantong, Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun, and others had also spent a long time contemplating the Time Abyss and thus gained additional insights and accurate predictions, then the second time in the Scholar Forest World was outrageous!
It was understandable for Lei Jun and others to pay attention to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion appearing on the Golden Shore of the Time Abyss, as the disturbance there was too great.
Not only did Lei Jun and others notice, but Zheng Yan, the head of the Zheng family, even secretly followed to the Silver Abyss.
But Zhang Wantong accurately finding Yuzhou was too absurd.
She was more perceptive than Lian Feng, Qiu Li, and others, which Zheng Baiyu could accept.
However, her performance at that time was even more impressive than Wu Hailin and Yan Aoyun, although the attention of those two was mostly on the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva and the Hundred Eyes Demon Tree.
So, how did they do it? Zheng Baiyu didn't believe they had achieved this through prediction or detection.
If it wasn't prediction or detection, then what was it?
In terms of prediction or even precognition, historically, there have been very few Daoist lineages with such abilities, and they were also unstable.
There was no martial ancient emperor with a triple immortal realm attack lineage on the opposite side, and that was specifically aimed at the frontal attack.
The Sorcery Sect's Curse and Incantation lineage also had no triple immortal realm figures, so they could be ruled out.
After the Three Pure Patriarchs of the Daoist Talisman Sect transcended, due to the Royal Heaven's focus on itself, the Daoist mysteries in this aspect gradually disappeared, especially after the ancient times, they were never seen again.
However, from the end of the ancient times and the Heavenly Palace Cataclysm, it seemed that the Royal Heaven wasn't so effective in this aspect, and the water was particularly deep.
Next was only the "Yi" of the Confucian Canon Studies.
But that couldn't stop someone like Zheng Baiyu with such cultivation strength, talent, and foundation.
Zheng Baiyu himself was a great expert in this field.
If it wasn't prediction but detection, the new study established by Zhang Wantong might have some clues... Zheng Baiyu thought.
He and Zhang Wantong both had the Confucian scholarly wisdom of having a world within, although in actual combat confrontations, Zhang Wantong rarely revealed her foundation. But if Zhang Wantong could obtain his previous writings, the situation would become complicated.
Thinking this way, even Zheng Baiyu felt the urge to switch to studying history... He shook his head slightly.
And that so-called Xuanmen's leader, Lei Chongyun, seemed to have exceptional insight as well.
He had to change his usual style of doing things; even with Jiang Fengge, he temporarily cut off contact, and with the Grass and Trees Together in the Abyss, he also didn't make contact.
He comprehensively reduced the outflow of his own writings, whether it was his scholarly vital energy or mere words, he tried to minimize them.
It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but when discussing these matters with them, the information might be stolen or known by Zhang Wantong and others.
Of course, this couldn't guarantee that everything would be fine.
But Zheng Baiyu had to do this.
Currently, he had too little information about Zhang Wantong and others.
Even if it was just a test, he had to probe their depth.
Naturally, he also had to prepare more options for himself. Zheng Baiyu looked far.
