Chapter 547: 546. Pushing the Old and Creating the New, Carrying on the Legacy



Aside from the three Daoist treasures for enlightenment, Lei Jun also contemplated other aspects.

For instance, his Tri-Hole Tri-Days Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array.

This grand formation was extremely formidable, especially now that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dharma Realm's Three Realms had been redefined, and Lei Jun himself had reached the Profound Enlightenment Return to True Nature of the Intermediate Third Level of Cavern Deity. With careful improvements and refinements, the power of the formation would further increase.

If the former Triple Immortal Realm's Zheng Baiyu had appeared after the Three Realms had completely stabilized, Lei Jun could have deployed the Tri-Hole Tri-Days Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array. As long as he could pinpoint Zheng Baiyu's exact location, even without engaging in close combat, the chances of the opponent escaping would be slim.

Lei Jun didn't make any absolute statements because he had witnessed Zheng Baiyu's third Immortal Martial Art, Three Realms Collapse.

Zheng Baiyu's intention was more focused on countering the opponent's attacks, and with his cultivation, strength, and insightful eyes, he had indeed achieved remarkable success.

One of Zheng Baiyu's earliest major hypothetical enemies was the first master of the ancient past in the previous Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dharma Realm, Gao Tiansui.

The Immortal Martial Art, Three Realms Collapse, specifically targeted the Daoist Talisman School's Immortal Dao Jing Xuan Yuan, while also being effective against Daoist formations, with unparalleled destructive power.

However, if Lei Jun deployed the Tri-Hole Tri-Days Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array, it would be much easier for him to capture the opponent and engage in close combat.

After the Three Realms stabilized, Lei Jun didn't bother with any post-disaster work and didn't go to the Scholar Forest World to meet Yan Aoyun. Instead, he focused on healing and recuperating in the Netherworld Hell's Wudu, where he could quickly recover.

With this, Lei Jun could stay in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dharma Realm and deploy the Tri-Hole Tri-Days Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array in the now-stabilized Three Realms, giving Lei Jun a certain level of confidence in facing threats from the Demon World.

Even if the Demon Dragon Emperor was unwilling to give up and wanted to cross the Time Abyss to try to reclaim the Imperial Furnace and Mystic Primordial Lotus, Lei Jun had the confidence to confront him.

Lei Jun appreciated Yan Aoyun's help with the post-disaster work, but he couldn't just rest easy because of it.

Moreover, even without the threat from the Demon World, Lei Jun continued to improve his skills.

When his cultivation reached the Intermediate Third Level of Cavern Deity, Lei Jun created the Primagnetic Flying Sword, which, combined with the Heaven-Eye Earth-Ear Talisman and the subsequent Heaven-Piercing Earth-Transcending Talisman, made him nearly invincible. Even opponents with higher cultivation realms found it difficult to defend against his sudden attacks.

Upon reaching the Advanced Third Level of Cavern Deity, the Primagnetic Flying Sword's killing power remained sharp, with unparalleled offensive strength. Any hit was guaranteed to succeed.

However, as Lei Jun frequently encountered opponents in the Ninth Heaven Fifth Level Perfection Realm and even Immortal Realm experts, he began to feel the Primagnetic Flying Sword's killing power wane.

Theoretically, Lei Jun could concentrate all his spiritual power into a mighty sword strike, maintaining its formidable attacking and destructive power, making it virtually indestructible.

The higher Lei Jun's cultivation, the greater the power of the Primagnetic Flying Sword.

The issue was that as his cultivation realm increased, his opponents became stronger, with more profound methods to avoid the Primagnetic Flying Sword.

Especially after reaching the Immortal Realm, even the earlier Daoist experts who excelled in body movement found that their agile maneuvers were becoming extremely swift.

As a result, hitting the target with the Primagnetic Flying Sword became increasingly difficult.

With Lei Jun's cultivation and methods, he could naturally use other immortal techniques and divine abilities to restrain and capture enemies, thus improving the Primagnetic Flying Sword's accuracy.

However, this meant increasing the upfront cost of injuring the enemy with the Primagnetic Flying Sword.

Comparatively, Lei Jun could use more convenient methods to directly inflict damage.

Among his Ten Heavenly Sceneries, he had both the Yin-Yang Two Instruments Heavenly Yuan Sword Formation and the Primagnetic Flying Sword.

However, Lei Jun didn't become complacent.

He constantly contemplated and improved various immortal techniques and divine abilities, leading to the development of Universe Radiance, Jiazi Immortal City, Supreme Non-Ultimate True Interpretation, and Six Imperial Divine Bodies.

As he continued to progress in the future, the enemies he faced would become even more formidable and unpredictable, and these divine abilities and methods, including the Tri-Hole Tri-Days Supreme Dragon Tiger Immortal Array, might follow the same path as the Primagnetic Flying Sword.

While continuously refining and improving these immortal techniques and methods, Lei Jun was also constantly devising new approaches.

The refinement of the three treasures, Supreme Purity Jade Heaven Immortal Bamboo, Supreme Purity Eight Scenery Immortal Mantle, and Jade Purity Heavenly Law Mirror, followed a consistent line of thought.

Lei Jun could feel sparks of inspiration constantly bursting in his mind.

He continuously polished and refined these inspirations, keeping some, discarding others, and further contemplating some.

Even after the Three Realms stabilized, there was still much chaos and noise in the Earth Plane.

But Wudu remained peaceful.

Lei Jun sat within it, his injuries gradually healing, and his cultivation silently progressing.

Time passed quietly during his cultivation.

Lei Jun remained unaffected by the outside world, focusing on his practice with his usual pace and rhythm.

The human world, influenced by the unification of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, was still dealing with the aftermath, but the overall situation was stable.

Silver Moon Dark Phoenix successfully opened the Immortal Gate in the Netherworld Hell, and aside from Pixiu Kong, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dharma Realm gained another Demon Saint.

She was a unique species, cultivating demonic energy and evil aura, but her temperament remained aloof, disliking human flesh and blood. She only wished to continue living in the Earth Plane.

In addition to Silver Moon Dark Phoenix, a new human, Tang Xiaotang from the Great Xia Dynasty, had also successfully opened the Immortal Gate, becoming an Earthly Saint.

After nurturing herself in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World, she didn't linger there for long and instead went to study in the Scholar Forest World.

In the outside world beyond Time's Abyss, Meng Shaojie bid farewell to Chu Yu.

Afterward, she went to another place to meet someone else's appointment.

In the quiet wilderness, where no one was around, a Taoist dressed in a purple robe and yellow garments, with the appearance of a young man, stood silently among the trees.

When Meng Shaojie arrived, the Taoist turned and looked over, then bowed in the Taoist manner, "Greetings, Fellow Meng."

Meng Shaojie returned the greeting, "Greetings, Master Kang. Thank you for waiting."

The visitor was none other than Kang Ming, the leader of the Yellow Heaven Dao, "Not at all, I've just arrived as well. I'm fortunate to have found the treasure you sought, Fellow Meng."

By this day, the situation of the Yellow Heaven Dao was no longer as difficult as it had been in the early years, but they still maintained a low profile.

They were still more akin to a secret underground society, but there was no apparent state of development.

After two consecutive Yellow Heaven Reunions, they lacked new blood.

However, Kang Ming didn't seem to mind this.

He continued to act in a secretive and low-key manner, and his interactions with Zhou Pu, Nie Fang, and Meng Shaojie became increasingly public.

Although there were suspicions and precautions in the early years, over time, their private interactions became more frequent and stable.

As their interactions increased, their identities were no longer a secret.

In the decades after their reunion in the mortal world, they finally broke through that thin veil.

Although they still appeared secretive to the outside world, their interactions became more open and frequent.

As for the original owner of the Dark Side Universe of the Heavenly Text, everyone now had an unspoken understanding and rarely mentioned it.

"Thank you, Master Kang," said Meng Shaojie, as he received a miniature bag from Kang Ming and expressed his gratitude.

Kang Ming shook his head, "Fellow Meng, you're too kind. We help each other, and I've also received much assistance from you, for which I'm deeply grateful."

In the end, the gratitude should go to the original owner of the Dark Side Universe of the Heavenly Text.

Because of him, she had met Meng Shaojie and others and gained much through the Dark Side Universe.

Thirty-five years ago, he successfully transformed his root bone from the Two-Saint Body to the Primordial Immortal Body, thanks to Meng Shaojie's help.

The related spiritual treasure couldn't be found anywhere in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World; it had completely disappeared without a trace, let alone a glimpse of it.

Kang Ming speculated that Meng Shaojie had obtained the spiritual treasure from the Scholar Forest World through connections with Zhang Wantong, Zhang Hui, and Xiao Chunhui.

This heavenly treasure was the final piece of the puzzle in his achievement of the Primordial Immortal Body.

Upon reaching the Primordial Immortal Body, his strength significantly increased, and his cultivation progress visibly accelerated.

Of course, Kang Ming also did his best to repay Meng Shaojie.

Additionally, his disciple Xia Hou Bo had already successfully reached the Eighth Heaven Divine Court Realm many years ago.

The Yellow Heaven Dao currently acted low-key, with limited resources, and Xia Hou Bo and a small number of other young disciples could cultivate freely, thanks to Kang Ming's connections with Zhou Pu, Meng Shaojie, and Nie Fang.

Lei Jun was aware of this and didn't interfere.

It was because of the unspoken understanding with the original owner of the Dark Side Universe that Lei Jun, Meng Shaojie, Nie Fang, and Zhou Pu, who were close to the Taoist School, could openly interact with Kang Ming, the leader of the Yellow Heaven Dao.

This was because the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor had a more relaxed attitude towards the Yellow Heaven Dao.

The Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor, under the influence of Lei Jun's temperament, was more focused on improving itself.

After two Yellow Heaven Reunions, although the number of Three Heavens Cultivators in the Yellow Heaven Dao had increased in recent years, compared to the Dragon Tiger Mountain Ancestral Hall, they were like a small witch in front of a great witch.

A few years after the Three Realms were reestablished, good news came from the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor.

Lei Jun's closed-door disciple, Elder Feng Ting, successfully broke through the Heavenly Chasm Tribulation between the Eighth and Ninth Heavens, ascending to the Ninth Heaven Great Vehicle Realm.

The Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor welcomed another Great Deity Sage.

For the current Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor, this was the seventh contemporary Great Deity Sage of the Ninth Heaven.

As Han Xiaofei, Cheng Rongrong, and Zhang Jingzhen, as well as Feng Ting, successively broke through to the Ninth Heaven Realm within twenty years, the Celestial Master Manor's Eighth Heaven Cultivators seemed somewhat insufficient. Fortunately, Chi Haifeng and An Bu Zheng emerged to fill the gap.

Following them, there was a vast group of Seventh Heaven High-Achieving Cultivators, laying a solid foundation for the emergence of more experts.

The younger generation of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Manor was gradually growing.

Their origins were diverse and varied, attracting talents from all directions.

Qiu Ming and Xin Lu from the former Great Unity.

Zhu Wei, Hou Yu, and Zhong Jinxuan from the Great Han lineage.

Xue Yu from the land of Youyan.

Su He from the Southern Wilderness.

Wang Yansen, a descendant of the Wang clan of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liang Xiao Jun, who joined the Yellow Heaven Dao during the second reunion.

Chen Ning, a descendant of the Song Dynasty's imperial family.

Many of the younger disciples had already grown up, reaching the Seventh Heaven Realm, becoming High-Achieving Elders, and contributing to the Celestial Master Manor.

Among them, Xue Yu, Zhu Wei, and Qiu Ming had already secluded themselves for some time, striving to break through to the Eighth Heaven Realm.

Among the many Sixth Heaven cultivators who were acquainted with Lei Jun, Shangguan Hong and Guo Yan were also in seclusion, striving to break through to the Seventh Heaven realm.

In the past, Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, and other exceptional talents had risen, leading the Celestial Master Mansion out of its slump. During this special period, the Celestial Master Mansion had an unusually long period where the top talents were outstanding, but the lower-level cultivators were lacking, resulting in an imbalanced situation.

Although the top experts remained exceptional, the foundation of the lower-level cultivators had finally begun to accumulate once more.

For the time being, there wasn't much difference.

However, in the long run, greater influence would come with a larger base, which might foster more talents like Chi Haifeng and An Buzheng.

As the younger generation of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion continued to rise, for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dharma Realm, most matters could be left to the management of the Immortal Realm cultivators like Lei Jun without interference.

The stubborn and resistant denizens of the Netherworld and the demons of the Abyss were currently struggling to find a foothold in the outer reaches of the Shadow Realm. They were being hunted down in large numbers.

In the dimly lit underground world, a spark suddenly flashed.

But there were many of them.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion of fire erupted, and multiple areas lit up, spreading in all four directions.

A group of purple-robed and red-robed Taoists, led by Cheng Rongrong, a high-achieving cultivator of the Ninth Heaven Great Vehicle Realm from Dragon Tiger Mountain, stood in the Shadow Realm.

Surrounding them was an abundance of Primagnetic power.

Through her purple Taoist robe, Cheng Rongrong's brown-red hair was visible, and her relatively short stature belied her gaze, which was fixed on the distant horizon without a moment's distraction.

Above her head, a round mirror-shaped Magical Artifact, resembling Lei Jun's Jade Purity Heavenly Law Mirror, hovered, emitting a flashing light that illuminated the distant area.

Cheng Rongrong's eyes also shone with brilliance, and she issued a series of commands.

In front of her stood Wang Yansen, Liang Xiaojun, and Mo Gaoyuan, three high-achieving elders of the Seventh Heaven realm from the Celestial Master Mansion.

They concentrated their Talisman power, drawing upon the Primagnetic force, causing their Flying Swords to hover in mid-air with their tips trembling slightly, pointing forward.

One of his direct disciples, Elder Han Xiaofei of the Mansion, was even more adept at the Flying Fire Talisman as one of her innate talismanic arts, making her a master in this field.

Inspired by this, Chi Haifeng's thoughts gradually turned in a different direction.

Earlier, Lei Jun's Flying Fire Talisman had greatly improved the attacking range of the Celestial Master Mansion disciples, allowing them to suppress or match most opponents, only falling short of the external elixir flying swords of the Taoist School and the divine archery of the Confucian School.

With the emergence of the Primagnetic Flying Sword, the range of the Talisman School cultivators further increased.

Lei Jun's own accuracy was naturally impeccable.

However, he couldn't represent the average level of the entire Celestial Master Mansion.

So, what if the Flying Fire Talisman's principles were combined with the Primagnetic Flying Sword? Chi Haifeng thought there was a way.

Zhuo Baojie, Xin Beiyuan, Cheng Rongrong, and Han Xiaofei all encouraged him to give it a try.

Currently, it was the Upper Three Heavens cultivators taking turns testing their shots.

Of course, there were still many issues, especially when it came to spreading this to the middle and lower-level disciples, which required considering various other factors.

But overall, there was already a glimmer of hope.

"Continue." Cheng Rongrong's gaze remained fixed on the distant horizon.

This time, it was Chi Haifeng and An Buzheng, two Eighth Heaven cultivators, who stepped forward.

However, the flying swords they used were not much different from those of Wang Yansen, Liang Xiaojun, and Mo Gaoyuan, all belonging to the same category.

They were all of the "explosive type"...

In the next instant, Primagnetic energy surged again, followed by a thunderous explosion. In a flash of firelight, the flying sword vanished in the blink of an eye.

In the more distant darkness of the Earth Plane, flames suddenly erupted, and thunder and fire soared into the sky.

The Great Demon, the Ninefold Heaven Perfected Overturning Sea Dragon King, was not at the site of the explosion.

It was watching from a distance in another direction as the thunder and fire illuminated the darkness.

Then, it saw a Great Demon being struck by a flying sword amidst the firelight.

The flying sword itself was already powerful enough to instantly slice the Great Demon in half.

But at the same time, the sword itself also shattered and disintegrated.

Countless fragments, accompanied by raging thunder and fire, spread and swept across the surroundings, instantly engulfing a large area.

As the two swords landed, they seemed far apart, but the surging thunder and fire quickly met in the center.

The Overturning Sea Dragon King's expression turned extremely grim.

As a Ninefold Heaven Perfected Great Demon with a robust physical body and sturdy scales, the attacks of Eighth Heaven cultivators were not an immediate threat to it.

However, what about the elders of the Celestial Master Mansion in the Ninth Heaven?

The Overturning Sea Dragon King didn't even consider the higher-realm Perfected cultivators of the Talisman School.

If they wanted to use these cultivators for training, giving them a chance to escape, it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

But whether they could seize this opportunity was still uncertain.

"Retreat to the Abyssal Abyss," the Overturning Sea Dragon King finally left without looking back.

The Great Demons by its side also wore grim expressions.

The human cultivators seemed like hunters, causing their ferocity and anger to surge.

But the Overturning Sea Dragon King dared not lead them to deal with these arrogant human cultivators.

Not to mention those terrifying Daoist School Perfected cultivators.

Right behind Cheng Rongrong, Chi Haifeng, and An Buzheng, in this vast and boundless wilderness, there was the existence of the Demon Sage Yin Yue Minghuang, whose icy eyes scanned the surroundings, causing other Great Demons cultivating demonic energy and malevolent aura to hastily flee.

However, the Abyssal Abyss in the Earth Plane was now completely different from the previous Abyss, one of the Ten Earths.

The Abyss, one of the Ten Earths, was formed after the Earth Plane shattered, and the spatial domain underwent an overall transformation, merging with the Abyss. Eventually, it became an independent world.

Overall, this world could be considered stable, with spiritual energy and malevolent aura intertwining and abundant, allowing life to thrive and cultivate within it.

From a certain perspective, it could even be said that the original Abyssal Abyss had fallen into a state of silence or closure.

The Abyssal Abyss now resembled a human realm rather than the legendary end of the world.

After the Ten Earths merged into one, the Earth Plane reappeared, and everything naturally started anew, as if the Abyssal Abyss had regained its vitality and reopened.

The current Abyssal Abyss seemed like the true end of the Three Realms, the end of all phenomena.

Not to mention the Overturning Sea Dragon King and its companions, even the Demon Sage had to be cautious when approaching.

But for the current Overturning Sea Dragon King and the others, there was no other choice. To avoid the threat and sweep of human cultivators, they could only keep getting closer to the Abyssal Abyss.

"Junior Xu Hai, after referring to Master and Second Senior Sister's ideas about the Flying Fire Talisman, has already realized a new approach to the Primagnetic Flying Sword." In the Shadow Realm of the Netherworld, Feng Lei reported to his teacher, Lei Jun.

In this matter, he had also helped with the deliberations.

Lei Jun nodded, "Very good."

He could make the necessary improvements, but there was no need for him personally.

For the younger disciples of the Mansion, there was a need, but it didn't require the concern of the former Celestial Master. Among the disciples, there were outstanding individuals who either pondered independently or worked together as a group, and they had basically already taken care of the matter.

Even if they didn't surpass their predecessors, it could still be said that there were capable successors.

Lei Jun was naturally pleased with this outcome.

He continued to focus on his own cultivation.

After his injuries healed, Lei Jun could focus more on his cultivation and the contemplation of immortal techniques.

Time flew by, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.

Winter faded, and summer approached.

The head of the School of Taoism, Lei Jun, was about to celebrate his 180th birthday, marking three cycles of the Chinese zodiac.
