Chapter 544: 543. A First-Class Opportunity, Mystic Primordial Lotus (Part 1)





The Nine Heavens and the Ten Earths trembled in unison, causing the spiritual energy of the human realm to undergo changes as well.

However, most cultivators from various sects remained calm.

They had long anticipated this day, and under the arrangements of Lei Jun, Zhang Wantu, and others, they had made ample preparations.

With the experience of merging with the human realm, everything proceeded smoothly and orderly.

In contrast, some nearby places exhibited restlessness in the face of the impending arrival of this heavenly calamity.

The Dark Abyss, usually cold and silent, now buzzed with excitement among its inhabitants.

They had been suppressed for too long, and now they had a chance to return to the human realm.

Leading them was Ren Caomu, one of the few who maintained his composure.

Observing the agitated state of his fellow tribesmen, Ren Caomu couldn't help but feel a hint of concern.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a book flipped open, and numerous brushstrokes appeared on the paper surface automatically.

Before Ren Caomu, a vague human figure formed.

It was none other than the Dark Emperor of the Dark Abyss, Zheng Baiyu, who had not returned to the Dark Abyss for many years.

Zheng Baiyu looked at Ren Caomu and smiled slightly, "The second level of the Martial Immortal Realm, very good. I haven't returned to the Dark Abyss in over sixty years, but I'm glad you haven't slackened in your cultivation."

Ren Caomu bowed deeply to him, "Your Majesty, the achievements of the Dark Abyss and its people today are all due to your efforts. I am forever grateful."

Zheng Baiyu said, "A rotten tree cannot be carved. Your accomplishments today are also due to your own capabilities, not inferior to those of Wang Dengchen from the Shaman School. Our ruler and subject relationship is harmonious, and we shall create a beautiful legend. I haven't been in the Dark Abyss for a long time, and it hasn't been easy for you all these years."

Ren Caomu replied, "Your Majesty, you are too kind to us."

Zheng Baiyu smiled, "Fortunately, the opportunity is near. Let's begin."

Ren Caomu bowed, "I will follow your command."

...

At the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion in the human realm, Lei Jun looked at Zhuo Baojie, who was wearing a nine-colored Dharma robe, and smiled, "During the unification of the Nine Heavens and the Ten Earths, the fate of all living beings is entrusted to you."

Zhuo Baojie replied, "I have contacted fellow cultivators from the Nine Heavens, the Ten Earths, and the human realm, and we are prepared to do our best for the well-being of all."

Lei Jun said, "Regarding the Dark Abyss, Lian Mountain, and the Land of the Dead, Master, Zhang Jushi, Bai Zhenjun, and Feng Ming Shengzhu will handle the situation. You don't need to worry; everything will proceed according to the previous arrangements."

Zhuo Baojie bowed again, "Yes, Master."

Lei Jun then left the ancestral court of Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

His first stop was the turbulent Kunlun, but he did not go to Yu Yu Heaven, which was under the control of the Celestial Master Mansion. Instead, he headed for the Qing Wei Heaven, where the Kunwu Sect was located.

After being welcomed by the Kunwu Sect's leader, Zhang Haipeng, Lei Jun was led to the rear hall.

Zhao Chanyang's entire body was enveloped in a hazy mist, resembling an elusive and unpredictable auspicious cloud.

"Is Zhao Daoyou ready?" Lei Jun asked.

"Yes," came the reply.

Zhao Chanyang's voice echoed from within the clouds, "Thank you, Master, and the other Dao friends for your assistance."

Lei Jun replied, "Zhao Daoyou, you are too kind."

According to the previous discussions, within the hazy auspicious cloud, a subtle point of firelight flickered to life.

The fire gradually detached itself from the cloud and approached Lei Jun, further condensing into a tiny flame, akin to a flickering bean-sized lamp, its essence indescribable and elusive.

Even with Lei Jun's abilities, without reaching the third level of the Immortal Realm, attempting to touch this flame would be an arduous task.

However, with his cultivation surpassing Zhao Chanyang's, it was much easier.

The Black and White Taiji Diagram unfolded, enveloping the tiny flame, and then contracted, transforming into a talisman.

"If the Great Thousand World undergoes changes later, we might need your help," Lei Jun said.

Zhao Chanyang replied, "I will do my best."

After further conversation, they refined their plans for the upcoming unification of the Nine Heavens and the Ten Earths.

Then, Lei Jun bid farewell and left the Nine Heavens, heading straight for the Ten Earths, specifically the Land of No Interval.

In the Land of No Interval, in addition to Wang Guiyuan, who was often there, there were others present.

Surprisingly, Zhang Wantu had already arrived.

Besides her, Chu Kun was also there.

"The Kunwu Sect's preparations are complete," Lei Jun informed them. "The third senior brother and I will set off, leaving this side to Zhang Jushi and the senior brother."

Wang Guiyuan smiled, "I'll just help from the sidelines. It's mainly Zhang Jushi who will be busy."

Zhang Wantu asked, "How is Tang Zhenjun doing?"

Communicating with the Scholar Forest World was relatively smooth and easy for her.

After the Celestial Master Succession Ceremony, Tang Xiaotang had returned to the Scholar Forest World, successfully reopening the sealed dimensional gate to the Earth Plane, and then entered to wreak havoc.

With her previous experience, she had become quite familiar with the Earth Plane.

Determined to achieve her goal, she finally succeeded in a great feat, slaying a top-tier demon while being at the second level of the Immortal Realm, a feat that required the strength of the third level to accomplish.

Moreover, she had done this while enduring the pressure of another Demon Saint, the Hundun, and other demons.

The news spread, and once again, her name resonated throughout the Scholar Forest World, rivaling the fame she had gained when she had joined forces with Lei Jun to defeat Wu Hailin.

However, the price of slaying the Hundun Demon Saint while under the pressure of the Hundun Demon Saint was an injury, and Tang Xiaotang had been recovering for the past few years.

Lei Jun assured them, "Tang Shijie is doing well currently, although she still needs some time to avoid direct confrontations with powerful enemies. However, this won't affect our plans."

Zhang Wantu nodded, "Yanzi's side is also ready, waiting for us to begin."

Lei Jun nodded to Chu Kun, "Let's go."

The two senior brothers immediately stepped into the Time Abyss.

Amidst the chaotic flow of time and space, Lei Jun did not rush to leave. Instead, under Chu Kun's guidance, entered a serene area within the Time Abyss.

Within the chaotic flow of time and space, a tranquil sanctuary akin to the Peach Blossom Spring emerged.

This was an independent heaven and earth.

The spatial structure here was not stable, constantly changing within the Time Abyss.

Time itself seemed to come to a standstill.

Even Lei Jun, upon entering, felt his physical body and spiritual consciousness slow down.

Chu Kun, the founder of this place, was only at the first level of the Immortal Realm, and the profound influence of the environment affected him more intensely than Lei Jun.

It was only because he had previously ascended to the Profound Dao after his initial cultivation that he was able to establish himself here.

But now, he had accomplished a feat that even higher-level cultivators would struggle to achieve.

"Unusual," Lei Jun felt as if his speech had slowed down significantly.

Chu Kun's voice was even slower, "There's still much... that needs research and consolidation... to be useful... couldn't be better..."

Lei Jun nodded slowly and unfurled his collected talismans.

The talismans transformed into the image of the Black and White Taiji Diagram.

A flickering light appeared in the center.

Lei Jun then unfolded his Dao Scene Mystic Wall.

Within the Mystic Wall, Lei Jun felt as if time was passing normally again, no longer seeming to be at a standstill.

However, he also felt his immortal essence and spiritual power rapidly depleting from being in this environment for an extended period.

His expression remained calm as he resonated with Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang in the Great Dipper Constellation of another world, using his Purple Dipper Constellation.

Tang Xiaotang, who rarely showed weakness, seemed a bit listless due to the demon and monster world, but as she felt the vibrations in her Dao Scene Mystic Wall, she continued to gaze into the distance:

"Senior Sister, where's that demon tiger?"

Xu Yuanzhen, on the side, used her spiritual power to draw talismans, then arranged them into a ritual array, casually replying:

"That fellow is lazy and unreliable, not truly loyal to the Demon Dragon Emperor. Sensing that we're setting up the ritual array, it retreated. It's probably watching the situation, so let's focus on our task."

Tang Xiaotang spoke, "Lei Jun and the others have started, let's hurry too."

Xu Yuanzhen waved her hand dismissively, "Take care of yourself."

As she spoke, her Dao Scene Mystic Wall's End of Infinity unfolded, enveloping the two of them along with the ritual array.

With the Great Dipper Constellation resonating with Lei Jun's Purple Dipper Constellation, Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang's vision also began to show the flickering light, faintly visible.

At the same time, in the demon and monster world, as time passed, the tremors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths intensified.

Finally, as the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth flowed, the passages connecting the various worlds to the human realm automatically sealed themselves.

As space twisted, the sky and earth in the human realm trembled, mountains rose and fell, and winds howled.

In the sky above, in the cosmic starry space, time began to distort significantly.

Penglai, Kunlun, Azure Abyss, Great Unity, Returning to Mystery, Sumeru, Saha, Spirit Mountain, and Vast Heaven, the Nine Realms began to gather, seemingly merging and intertwining, causing the sky in the human realm to change.

And deep underground, where human observation was difficult, the spiritual energy veins seemed to connect to another ten worlds.

Affected by this, the entire world trembled, with spiritual energy flowing chaotically yet powerfully, forming a mighty force beyond ordinary human strength.

Zhang Wantu, who was originally in the Without Interval, paid no attention to this, focusing solely on observing the Time Abyss.

Wang Guiyuan also didn't suppress the Without Interval as he had before, merely observing the constant distortion and blurring of the Without Interval's void realm.

"True Lord Zhao, it's begun," Zhang Wantu said, standing above the Time Abyss, as if speaking to someone but also to herself.

Around her body, white light flickered, forming a vast existence like a book or a mirror, intertwining and overlapping, resembling a grand architecture.

Far away in Kunlun, Zhao Chanyang also didn't pay attention to Kunlun itself. Kunwu Sect disciples and the locals were evacuated to the human realm under Zhang Haipeng's arrangement.

Zhao Chanyang, alone in Kunlun, was enveloped in auspicious clouds, which began to shrink.

He seemed to condense into a single point, leaving only a wondrous light like a flickering lamp.

At the edge of the Time Abyss, through Zhang Wantu's relay, within the palace formed by the mirror light and book, a flickering light also lit up.

As the book flipped through, it revealed the gradual reunification of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of this world.

The vast and mighty power, at this moment, was shared and relayed by Zhao Chanyang and Zhang Wantu, transforming in a strange yet stable manner, seemingly turning reality into illusion, and entering the Time Abyss.

Transferred to Lei Jun, who was in Chu Kun's separate residence.

Lei Jun also remained focused, concentrating on the present.

Chu Kun's residence in the Time Abyss suddenly shook due to external influences, but Chu Kun exerted all his strength to maintain it, not distracting Lei Jun.

Lei Jun sat cross-legged in his Dao Scene Mystic Wall, and a giant Black and White Taiji Diagram had unfolded around him.

The mighty power was infused into the Taiji Diagram.

It was similar to when Lei Jun had set up the Three Caverns and Three Heavens Supreme True Person's Supreme Purity Great Cavern Scripture Talisman in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but it was far less stable and intensely violent.

Lei Jun guided the situation, using this mighty power to push his spiritual power to the extreme as he operated the Black and White Taiji Diagram.

The changing of all things and phenomena seemed to reach its peak at this moment.

And at the end of creation, the flickering light, though unable to be used directly in combat, was now empowered by Lei Jun's Black and White Taiji Diagram, and it began to expand.

The Taiyi, both the beginning and the end of the universe, was currently in a cycle of rebirth with Lei Jun's Taiji.

So the mighty force, relayed through Zhang Wantu and Zhao Chanyang, was further amplified by entering the Taiyi.

The flickering light began to expand, transforming back into the boundless auspicious clouds.

Starting with Zhang Wantu and Zhao Chanyang in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, relayed through Lei Jun in the Time Abyss, and finally reaching Xu Yuanzhen, who had been preparing for a long time in the demon and monster world.

However, Xu Yuanzhen didn't act immediately but turned to look at Tang Xiaotang beside her.

Tang Xiaotang looked weak, but she raised her hand.

The auspicious clouds, developed from the flickering light, transformed further.

It was as if it had truly come into existence, from nothing to something, from zero to one.

Amidst the ever-shifting mysteries, a new form of enigmatic transformation unfolds, entering a different state of enigmatic wonder.

Through Taiyi, into the Primordial Qi.

In this moment, Tang Xiaotang's Primordial Qi surges, even causing her to feel overwhelmed by the current burden of her weakness.

But Tang Xiaotang persists.

At the same time, the Primordial Qi burns intensely, as if illuminating the dark and profound universe with a dazzling light.

Xu Yuanzhen, at this moment, remains calm and composed, having undergone the vast power's transition.

Into the Primordial, and then into the Primordial Beginning.

In the illusory mirror, the dazzling light begins to reflect.

The Mystic Scene Mystic Wall, the universe trembles.

Xu Yuanzhen, who had previously set up formations in the Demon Realm for many years, becomes the ultimate outlet for the unleashed power.

The vast power, both magnificent and profound, is transferred through multiple methods by Lei Jun and others, arriving from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great Thousand World to the Demon Realm, and directly to this side's Black Wind-Ravaged Heaven.

Without any signs, the Demon Dragon Emperor is suddenly enveloped.

The Demon Dragon Emperor had been cautious towards Zhao Chanyang.

But it didn't expect the attack to be so fierce and sudden.

The Demon Dragon Emperor, who had been vigilant, was caught off guard.

...It wasn't something Zhao Chanyang could have done alone!

The Demon Dragon Emperor immediately made a judgment and reacted swiftly.

Even caught off guard, its massive body unfolded in the universe, causing the entire Heaven of the Demon Realm to shake.

The Purple Pole Constellation trembles, and the stars become unstable.

The powerful and profound force unfolds, colliding with the vast power that came from afar.

The entire Demon Realm seems to tremble slightly.

The impact is even more intense than the Great Destruction Bodhisattva's test, causing greater agitation.

It's the first time they've met, and the Demon Dragon Emperor already senses that the other party has mobilized the power of the Great Thousand World.

Unable to repel the other party immediately, it feels a sinking sensation.

Without thinking, it knows that the other party is confident and has other backing.

As for who that backing is, it doesn't need to guess.

The vast and profound aura fills the Demon Realm, sweeping away the black demonic winds in a short time.

If the Demon Dragon Emperor, the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, and the Hundred Eyes Demon Tree are left unchecked, they might completely alter the environment of the entire Demon Realm's Great Thousand World.

With such cultivation, the Demon Dragon Emperor only knows of one Great Sage.

The Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, the Sage Master of Confucianism, Yan Aoyun.

This Sage Master of Confucianism had previously entered the Demon Realm, briefly staying around the Time Abyss, and quickly returned.

But today, he has deeply entered the Demon Realm, arriving at this side's Heaven of the Great Thousand World, before the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Many years have passed since the events in the Scholar Forest Great Thousand World, and the Demon Dragon Emperor also has some understanding.

Hence, it's not surprising that Yan Aoyun is causing trouble in the Heaven of the Demon Realm, rather than the Great Destruction Bodhisattva and the Hundred Eyes Demon Tree.

On one hand, it's a rampaging Great Demon of the Great Thousand World, and they are not on the same path. On the other hand...

Yan Aoyun had previously entered the Sage Scholar Realm, which is closely related to the Taoists of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great Thousand World.

Both sides formed an implicit alliance, and this time, they must be here for those Taoists.

For Zhao Chanyang and the Demon Dragon Emperor's Imperial Furnace.

The Demon Dragon Emperor's demonic wind collides with Yan Aoyun's vast and profound aura, causing the already swaying Imperial Star Purple Pole to tremble even more, and even starts to deviate from the Central Heaven.

The Demon Dragon Emperor knows that without other powerful allies, it's no match for Yan Aoyun.

As the demonic wind and the vast and profound aura collide, a cauldron that appears neither Daoist nor Buddhist, neither Buddhist nor Daoist, manifests in the void, transforming from the illusory to the real.

Around the cauldron, a vast amount of profound aura flows, containing both heavenly and demonic energies.

And now, the heavenly energy surrounding the cauldron is clearly increasing.

It's caught by the power transferred from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great Thousand World.

The Demon Dragon Emperor, unable to sever the other party's interference with the Imperial Cauldron immediately, is now caught between advancing and retreating.

If it were only Yan Aoyun, it could still patiently deal with him.

Even if the Hundred Eyes Demon Tree doesn't understand the principle of lit. 'When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold', the Great Destruction Bodhisattva should understand.

But now, in addition to Yan Aoyun, there's also interference from Lei Jun and others, a two-pronged attack. Even with the Demon Dragon Emperor's abilities, it's at a disadvantage.

At this moment, it's thankful for its earlier vigilance and prior arrangements.

Thus, this Demon Race Great Sage makes a decisive move, using the extreme measure of severing the Imperial Cauldron at a critical moment.

With such a powerful action, the Imperial Cauldron also bursts with a power that reverses the universe, shaking the surrounding Demon Realm with wind and clouds.

The equally vast power, colliding with the power from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great Thousand World, causes both sides to tremble.

On Zhao Chanyang's side, the magnificent celebration clouds surrounding his body are first torn apart, dispersing without a trace.

He sits still, opening his eyes, and instead, exhales a long breath.

The Demon Dragon Emperor's entanglement with him, after this encounter, is completely severed.

The other party's demonic energy doesn't even have a chance to counterattack, leaving no room for future trouble.

The Demon Dragon Emperor's Imperial Cauldron dims.

Many years of hard work, all wasted in an instant.

But fortunately, it successfully protected the Imperial Cauldron and the treasures within.

After today's tribulation, it still has a chance to unseal and recast this treasure, a chance to start anew.

Although filled with anger, the Demon Dragon Emperor doesn't linger, immediately retracting the Imperial Cauldron, avoiding a direct confrontation with the approaching Yan Aoyun.

In the Time Abyss, Lei Jun retrieves his Mystic Scene Mystic Wall.

The Demon Dragon Emperor, with its decisive action, even at the cost of abandoning its previous efforts, severs its connection with Zhao Chanyang's side, causing Lei Jun and others to also lose the clue to transfer the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' Great Thousand World, a time for intimate interaction, and perhaps a new chapter is about to unfold.

The Thunder Lord, Lei Jun, did not lose heart. After giving an order to Chu Kun, he left his residence and traveled through the Time Abyss, heading towards the Demon World.

A sphere of light flashed in his mind, and words appeared:

"In the Central Heaven, the Star Palace rotates, and the Milky Way rises from the Mystic Primordial Lotus."

Along with this, four divination results appeared:

"The first divination result: At noon, travel to the Demon World's Heaven Realm and the Big Dipper Star Palace. There is a chance to obtain a first-grade opportunity, and there are no risks for now. However, be cautious of future entanglements, and it is auspicious."

"The second divination result: At noon, travel to the Demon World's Heaven Realm and the Northern Star Palace. There are turbulent waves, but nothing will be gained, and it is peaceful."

"The third divination result: At noon, travel to the Demon World's Heaven Realm, the Big Dipper Star Palace, and other locations. There is nothing extra to be gained, and nothing will be lost, and it is peaceful."

"The fourth divination result: At noon, travel to the Demon World's Heaven Realm and the Azure Dragon Star Palace. There is a chance to obtain a fourth-grade opportunity, but be cautious of the turbulent waves, and it is peaceful."

...

Lei Jun and the others used the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to regroup, and with Yan Ao Yun's dual pressure, they forced the Demon Dragon Emperor to abandon his original plan and retreat.

As they traveled to the Demon World, the Great Thousand World itself was also constantly shaking.

In contrast, in the Demon Capital, Zheng Baiyu stood up, surrounded by piles of manuscripts and books that were stacked like mountains.

"Gao Tian Sui hasn't made a move yet. Could it be that he's not in this Great Thousand World? Where is he, and what is he doing?" Zheng Baiyu shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Wantong and the Taoists in this Great Thousand World had indeed reached their limit, and their strength was now extremely powerful.

Without Gao Tian Sui and the others to restrain from the side, Zheng Baiyu's family alone would have limited control.

Fortunately, although Gao Tian Sui and the others hadn't made a move, the Taoists seemed to have gone to another Great Thousand World.

With both sides weakened, the control was regained... Zheng Baiyu's expression was calm.

Since it was like this, they could start.

Let's see if Zhang Wantong or someone else will detect it.

Although Zheng Baiyu hadn't directly returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand World, with a single order from him, the various preparations in various places started to take effect.

The Great Thousand World, which was already turbulent, began to automatically generate a large amount of radiance, condensing into beams of light that pierced through the sky and earth.

Those radiances originated from Confucian rituals.

"It's not Gao Tian Jun, but Northern Star Master." Yuan Mo Bai and Wang Guiyuan discussed this matter.

Wang Guiyuan said, "Because of the heavenly changes, the Time Abyss is also starting to change, and it will disappear from the Endless Abyss."

To be precise, as time passed, the Endless Abyss itself was gradually fading away.

And when the Time Abyss fissure reappeared, it wasn't certain if it would still be reunited and form a new Earth Plane.

It could be in the Heaven Realm, or even in the human world, all were possible.

Currently, their location was difficult to predict, and Zhang Wantong and Wang Guiyuan would also lose track of the Time Abyss for a certain period, making it hard to monitor.

Zheng Baiyu might take this opportunity to secretly return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand World.

Gao Tian Sui's whereabouts were also unknown, and it was uncertain if he would reappear.

"Hmm, Scholar Gao doesn't need to move hastily. For now, we'll handle the situation, and Scholar Gao can make a comeback later," Yuan Mo Bai said.

Wang Guiyuan said, "Master and fellow Taoists, be vigilant."

The Heaven Realm and Earth Plane were about to be reunited.

The human world was also shaking due to the connection.

At this moment, in the Eastern Deep Sea Ocean, there was also a Confucian ritual that formed a white light soaring into the sky.
