Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 23: Three Suns Rise Together, I Am the Great Sun
The master of Yin and Yang meridians!
Changren's face changed when he heard that, and he looked at Jiale with astonishment, as if he had thought of something. It was said that Taoist Zhenliang had come out of seclusion this time to look for a true disciple who was stranded outside. Now, the only one who came back with Taoist Zhenliang was Jiale, and he was a stranger at that.
Welcoming the Master of Yin and Yang! Who else could it be besides Jia Le?
Cultivation in the realm of Yuanshen!
Since Jiale did not deliberately hide it, Changren could see through Jiale's depth at a glance. The cultivation conditions in the outside world were naturally not as good as those in Maoshan. Being able to cultivate outside without the support of Maoshan, he could reach such a level, and his bone age was so young. Even Changren had to admire him at this moment.
"Changren pays homage to the Master of Yin Yang!"
Changren did not ring the bell immediately, but bowed to Jiale first, his eyes showing excitement, but without any false intention. Jiale was also stunned. He was somewhat uncomfortable with being bowed to by such a great master.
Respecting teachers and seniors is certainly important in the immortal sect, but the immortal sect has its own rules. The mountain master, the supreme elder, the vein master, the elders, the deacons...
In many cases, this layered structure has much higher priority than seniority. Otherwise, how can many rules be implemented and important sect affairs be carried out?
"Elder Changren, please stand up. Nengchun is just a junior and should not be treated like this."
When you first return to Maoshan, establishing your authority is not the most important thing. When an elder salutes you, you must also give these old seniors enough respect.
After all, Jiale was once the master of Mount Maoshan. He is not the kind of person who is indifferent to worldly affairs and does not understand the ways of the world.
You can use your fists to your advantage externally, but you still need to use methods and strategies internally.
Seeing Jiale being so humble, Zhenliang Daoren was very satisfied, and Changren's liking for Jiale doubled.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Master Yin Yang, please wait a moment. I will go and ring the golden bell. We in Maoshan have been waiting for the return of all the veins for a long time. Now we have finally got our wish. This is the greatest joyous event in our Maoshan in the past thousand years."
After saying this, Changren returned to Shangqing Temple.
At this time, all the elders and disciples in Shangqing Temple also looked at Jiale. They did not follow Changren to come to Taoist Zhenliang to pay their respects, but only greeted him from afar. They didn't know what had happened. Changren showed a happy expression, which surprised them even more.
You have to know that Changren, as the abbot of Shangqing Temple and the external affairs elder of Maoshan, is usually known for his seriousness. Those who have stayed in Maoshan for dozens, hundreds or even thousands of years have almost never seen Changren smile at anyone. In the past thousand years, no one has ever seen Changren so happy.
Although Changren's cultivation was only at the peak of the Return to Void Realm, his status was no less than that of the Maoshan elders, and he was in charge of Maoshan's external affairs. All the old disciples of Maoshan knew that Changren was an eyewitness to the demonic calamity a thousand years ago, and Changren was already a leader in Maoshan with extraordinary talent. At that time, he was praised by the Maoshan high-level officials as a person who could become an immortal.
Unfortunately, when the demonic calamity came, Changren led the charge and in one battle, his foundation was damaged. Even with the profound Maoshan heritage, it could only allow Changren to preserve his life and it was impossible for him to continue to improve his cultivation.
Just when all the Maoshan disciples thought that Changren would be devastated and unable to recover because he could not improve his cultivation, Changren took a few days to recover and stood up again. He was no longer obsessed with cultivation, but chose to take on the position of Maoshan's External Affairs Elder and continue to work hard for Maoshan.
For thousands of years, even the Maoshan disciples did not say anything, but they were full of admiration for Changren. After all, he was a man who dedicated his entire life to Maoshan.
Because his foundation was damaged, Changren not only lost his cultivation but also his lifespan. Some rumors said that Changren might be dying. For this reason, the entire Maoshan was somewhat depressed after seeing Changren. Only Changren was still working hard as always, as if it was not him who was dying.
However, few people know the bitterness of this. It is said that Elder Changren used to love to laugh and was very generous. However, since the demonic calamity, no one has ever seen Changren smile. Today is definitely the first time that all the disciples of Shangqing Temple have seen Changren laugh.
"What is the Yin Yang Master coming back?"
Changren did not hide it, but told the news with a smile, and then took two disciples to the bell tower in the temple.
However, these disciples were a little confused. What Yin and Yang Vein Master? Wasn't it said that Yin and Yang Peak had been closed? Where did the Yin and Yang Vein Master come from? No, could it be?
These disciples also thought of something and couldn't help but look at Jiale. They finally understood why Changren was so happy. This Maoshan old man dedicated his entire life to Maoshan. Apart from Maoshan's development and growth, becoming better and better, it seemed that nothing could make him happier.
Moreover, it seems that Elder Changren's Taoist partner is from the Yin-Yang lineage. However, under the demonic calamity, almost all members of the Yin-Yang lineage died. Even if some survived, they had been exiled. Naturally, there was no surprise that Elder Changren's Taoist partner was also from the same lineage. Now, seeing the leader of the Yin-Yang lineage returning to Maoshan, perhaps while Elder Changren was happy that Maoshan had become complete again, he also had some hope for his deceased Taoist partner.
Boom boom boom!
The golden bell rang suddenly, and the pilgrims who came to burn incense had no idea what was going on. When they were confused, they saw countless auras rising from the entire Maoshan Mountain.
When the golden bell rang nine times, more than ten thousand ordinary disciples of Maoshan stopped what they were doing. Except for the disciples who were in seclusion, they all headed towards the mountain gate at this moment.
The golden bell rang eighteen times, and the faces of the Maoshan deacons and true disciples changed. Although they didn't know what had happened, they didn't dare to delay and hurried to the mountain gate.
The golden bell rang twenty-seven times, and all the elders of Mount Mao shook their bodies and disappeared into the Elders' Hall.
The golden bell rang thirty-two times and everyone in Maoshan was shocked. The existing sixty-four vein masters and the masters of each hall were all shocked. At this moment, the whole Maoshan was surrounded by countless powerful auras, and the foundation was revealed at this moment. The immortal gates around Maoshan were all suddenly shocked at this time. They didn't know what had happened that caused Maoshan, which had been silent for a thousand years, to suddenly burst out with such a huge energy.
Could it be that some demonic force has offended Maoshan, causing it to start a war?
The golden bell rang thirty-two times. At this moment, the minds of all the disciples and elders of Maoshan were drawn. You know, Maoshan has not experienced the ringing of the golden bell thirty-two times in the past thousand years.
The Maoshan Golden Bell is the most precious treasure of Maoshan. Fortune and luck are concentrated in it and it should not be rung easily. Even when the Linghuan Pulse Master broke through to the Lianxu Realm last time, the golden bell only rang eighteen times. Now, no one knows what happened that could cause a drastic change in Maoshan's fortune, and it was worth ringing the golden bell thirty-two times.
Jiale looked at the countless powerful auras rising from Maoshan and couldn't help but be shocked. Is this the foundation of Maoshan in this world?
Even though Maoshan was the first to bear the brunt of the demonic calamity a thousand years ago, causing heavy losses, it still has such a powerful force today. The top immortal sect is surprisingly so strong.
“…Greetings to the Mountain Master!”
The leaders of various sects, the masters of various halls, the elders, the deacons, the true disciples, and the ordinary disciples were all gathered here at this time. After seeing that there was only Taoist Zhenliang and a strange cultivator, they hurriedly saluted and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it is not a bad thing, it will be fine. The last time the devil befell Maoshan, the golden bell rang sixty-four times and Maoshan was in danger of being wiped out. Today, a thousand years later, even if the golden bell only rings thirty-two times, they dare not underestimate it.
The ordinary pilgrims who were queuing up the mountain only realized at this time that the person standing in front of the team was actually the master of Mount Maoshan. No wonder Elder Changren was so respectful to him.
Not daring to hesitate, the countless pilgrims also hurriedly prostrated themselves and paid their respects.
These pilgrims are all from the foot of Mount Maoshan. They do not think anything strange about the monks' affairs and are very used to it. Now they are very excited, as if they are lucky and happened to catch up with some grand event in Mount Maoshan.
"Changren pays respects to the mountain master, and to the Yin Yang Vein master! Changren has finished ringing the bell, and is here to hand over the order!"
Changren rang the bell and returned, unexpectedly coming before Jiale and Zhenliang Daoren, bowing once again.
Although Changren said this lightly, it was like dropping a bomb to the tens of thousands of Maoshan disciples gathered at Shangqing Temple.
The master of Yin and Yang meridians!
Changren worships the Lord of Yin and Yang Meridians.
At this moment, tens of thousands of eyes fell on Jia Le. Ordinary disciples were fine, but those powerful ones like the masters of each sect, the masters of each hall, and the elders of internal affairs looked at him with some scrutiny. Even though Jia Le was not an ordinary Yuan Shen realm, and his Yuan Shen was condensed to be no less than the peak of the Return to Void Realm, he could not stand the gazes of so many big shots at this moment.
However, this time is different from facing Changren. Now he is facing all the high-level leaders of Maoshan as the master of the Maoshan Yin-Yang Vein. If he can't even withstand such a little pressure, he will lose more than just his face.
Taoist Zhenliang did not interfere. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Although Maoshan suffered heavy losses from the demonic calamity a thousand years ago, the remaining sixty vein masters at this time, not to mention the five main vein masters, even the branch vein masters are all at the peak of the Return to Void Realm, and many have already reached the Refining Void Realm. The five main vein masters are all at the He Dao realm.
Now Jia Le, a minor cultivator at the Yuanshen realm, is going to take over as the leader of one of the nine main veins, the Yin-Yang vein. Even if it is possible according to the rules, if he is not recognized by all the veins, he will be in name only in the future.
boom!
At this time, most of the high-ranking officials of Maoshan also understood the truth of the matter. Taoist Zhenliang personally went out of the mountain to look for a true disciple who was stranded outside. This matter was no longer a secret to these high-ranking officials. Now that Taoist Zhenliang brought Jiale back, there was no need to think too much, that true disciple must be Jiale.
With the cultivation level at the Yuanshen realm, this kind of talent is enough to be considered a true disciple of Maoshan.
But they could never have imagined that this true inheritance was, by such a coincidence, a disciple of the Yin-Yang lineage who was left behind. According to Taoist Zhenliang's actions, Jiale might be the only inheritance of the Yin-Yang lineage now, otherwise Jiale would not have been pushed to the position of the head of the Yin-Yang lineage.
Since Taoist Zhenliang asked Changren to ring the golden bell thirty-two times, it means that Jiale has been recognized by Taoist Zhenliang.
However, Maoshan is not just the Maoshan of Taoist Zhenliang, the master of Maoshan. The Yin-Yang lineage, as one of the nine main lineages of Maoshan, is not comparable to ordinary branches. A disciple in the Yuanshen realm wants to become the leader of the Yin-Yang lineage. As high-level officials of Maoshan, they have the responsibility to test Jiale and not let the reputation of Maoshan be damaged.
Seeing that Jiale remained calm under the pressure of their momentum, they also understood why Jiale was recognized by Taoist Zhenliang. He had a pure aura of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra and a soul that was as refined as that of the Return to the Void Realm. Such a disciple, who was practicing outside, was already among the top of the Maoshan True Sect.
Moreover, as the fundamental law of Maoshan, only a few people in each generation can comprehend and practice the Shangqing Dadong Sutra successfully. Even in this generation, only two people have practiced it successfully. Although Jia Le has returned to Maoshan for the first time, the value of it has actually surpassed more than 90% of the people in Maoshan.
However, if one wants to become the head of the Yin-Yang lineage, this alone is not enough .
boom!
Since it was a test, they would certainly not be ruthless. Even if they could not allow such a talented disciple to become the leader of the Yin-Yang lineage, they could not force him to leave. He had been practicing at the foot of the mountain, and they did not think that Jiale would have much sense of belonging to Maoshan. If he left in anger, with Jiale's qualifications, it would not be impossible for him to become an immortal. By then, Maoshan would become a laughing stock in the practice world.
They will also be sinners of Maoshan, so moderation is very important.
However, seeing how outstanding Jiale was, they couldn't help but put in more effort. At this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, Maoshan needed someone to step up.
The sudden increase in pressure made Jiale feel refreshed.
Two huge suns suddenly rose up behind him. Jiale could not resist such a huge momentum relying on his own cultivation alone. Even though Jiale had a profound foundation, he was facing so many Maoshan high-level officials. Even one person at the Lianxu Hedao realm was enough to give Jiale a hard time, let alone so many people at the Lianxu Hedao realm.
Of course, Jiale also knew that they did not use their full strength, otherwise, he would probably have become a meat pie by now.
As a former master of Mount Mao, he could understand this. However, this test also aroused Jiale's competitive spirit. It is true that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but that also depends on the time and place. Now that they are in Mount Mao, he will be the master of the Yin and Yang lineage of Mount Mao. There are also a large number of demons under Mount Mao waiting for him to harvest.
His cultivation was rapidly improving, so there was no need to hesitate. Since they wanted to test him, Jiale could take this opportunity to establish his authority.
This will prevent those short-sighted people from causing trouble after we enter Maoshan in the future, which will not only be tiring to deal with but also a waste of time.
To this day, Jiale's Sun God Body has achieved a small success and has reached the stage of two suns rising simultaneously. He is only one step away from three suns rising simultaneously. However, Jiale has not yet met anyone who can allow him to fully unleash the power of the Sun God Body. Even in Lanruo Temple, he only used two magical powers with the help of the god body.
Even Jiale himself was actually a little curious about how powerful his Sun God Body would be if it fully erupted. Now was a good time. Since he had no worries, he might as well release it to his heart's content.
boom!
Two suns rose together, shining in harmony with the big sun in the sky. At this moment, the entire Maoshan seemed to be immersed in the reflection of three suns.
The pilgrims who went up the mountain to burn incense immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, believing it to be a miracle, that a god had descended to earth.
A group of Maoshan high-ranking officials were looking at Jiale in shock at this time. Such an aura, such an aura of the sun, a divine body, it must be a divine body.
In fact, the so-called divine body is not like what many fabricated stories say.
In fact, strictly speaking, there is only a distinction between acquired physique and innate physique. For example, the human race today actually all have acquired physique. However, nothing is absolute. There are hundreds of millions of humans, and there will always be some lucky ones who are favored by heaven and earth when they are born, and have an innate foundation, or they awaken the bloodline of the innate gods, or they are favored by the innate spirit and become innate bodies.
The sun is also an innate spirit, and it is one of the most important innate spirits.
If one is favored by the spirit of the sun and achieves an innate body, it will be the body of the sun god. With such a god body, the spiritual energy will be converted faster, the Tao will be comprehended faster, the luck will be even stronger, and one will be favored by the spirit of the sun, and often becoming an immortal will be a piece of cake.
All the Maoshan high-ranking officials could see that Jiale had extraordinary talent, but before Jiale displayed the miraculous power of the Sun God Body, they never imagined that Jiale actually possessed the Sun God Body.
Jiale didn't care about what the Maoshan leaders were thinking at this moment. At this moment, Jiale fully released his Sun God Body. It was also the first time that he released it so vigorously. Jiale, who had been unable to withstand the pressure from the Maoshan leaders' aura, released his God Body at this moment. With two suns rising at the same time, he actually felt as if he was the sun. A lot of the pressure was shared by the sun, and he felt relieved immediately.
At the same time, Jiale was also in a state of enlightenment.
The Great Sun Divine Form Secret Art was flowing through Jiale's mind at this moment. However, Jiale, who had been practicing according to the Great Sun Divine Form Secret Art, now had some new ideas.
In fact, the creator of the Great Sun Divine Form Secret also did not succeed in practicing the Great Sun Divine Form Secret. This method is actually more like a general outline, providing a method to gather yang essence, visualize the sun, and condense one's body. As Jia Le's divine body entered the door, this method was actually slowly unable to keep up with Jia Le's steps.
This is also the reason why Jia Le wanted to simplify the Great Sun Divine Form Secret and pass it on to Uncle Jiu and others to practice, but was unable to do so.
If it weren't for the Kunlun Mirror, even Jia Le would have found it difficult to practice successfully, let alone complete this technique. Even he himself found it difficult to practice, let alone simplify it, let alone teach it. That would be no different from sending Uncle Jiu and others to their deaths.
Jiale has also always wanted to further optimize the Great Sun Divine Form Secret and form a method that truly belongs to him.
Unfortunately, this has never been an easy matter. Although Jia Le did not know what level of cultivation the senior who created the Great Sun Divine Form True Art had, he thought it must be no lower than the fairyland. The jade ring must have been passed down from ancient times. Such a person could only achieve this level, let alone him.
But today, after Jiale's Sun God Body fully erupted, he entered a strange state. He gained new insights into the Great Sun God Form Secret. Things that he had never dared to think about before now became possible.
Moreover, as his understanding deepened, Jiale's speed in practicing the Great Sun Divine Form Secret became faster and faster, and his Sun Divine Body improved at a terrifying speed.
In the Kunlun mirror.
All the energy beads obtained from Lanruo Temple were now activated, gathering the Yang essence power that was surging in from the sky, entering Jiale's body and being absorbed by Jiale. Jiale, who was already only one step away from the Three-Sun Ascension , now took a step forward.
“Three suns rise together!”
Someone exclaimed in surprise, but the two suns that had originally risen behind Jiale suddenly changed again, and a new sun rose again.
It’s done!
All the Maoshan leaders were shocked at this moment. They must have used only 10% of their power.
You know, this is not just one tenth of the power of a Return to the Void and Combined with the Dao realm. It's the five main vein masters, the ten main vein elders, the twelve hall masters of the five halls, the twelve branch vein masters, and the eight internal affairs elders, nearly fifty Return to the Void and Combined with the Dao realm cultivators' one tenth of the power. Even the Refining Void realm cannot bear it, and the Combined with the Dao realm will feel uncomfortable. But now it is being borne by Jia Le, who has only the cultivation base of the Yuanshen realm.
Just when they were considering whether to stop, they were suddenly startled.
They saw that the three suns were shining together with the big sun in the sky, bursting out with unparalleled power and pouring towards them.
At this time, Jiale actually started to fight back.
All the Maoshan high-level officials were horrified in their hearts. This Yin-Yang Vein Master really gave them too big a surprise. No, they were already frightened.
As for the elders, deacons, and disciples below the Return to Void and Integration of Dao realm, their jaws dropped in shock at this point.
Siting and Siluan.
Standing at the front of the group of Maoshan disciples were Si Ting and Si Luan, who were known as the first and second true disciples of Maoshan.
Maoshan has accepted disciples for this generation, which is already the Si generation, which is younger than Jiale's Neng generation. The two of them are also extremely talented. They have formed the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir and comprehended the Shangqing Great Cave Sutra. Along the way, they are no worse than Jiale.
The strength of both of them has even broken through the Return to Void Realm.
Before arriving at the mountain gate, it would have been impossible for Jiale, Siting and Siluan to remain emotionless as they watched Jiale, Siting and Siluan, who were about to take over as the masters of the Yin-Yang meridians and ring the golden bell thirty-two times, standing beside the mountain master, Taoist Zhenliang. Now, four of the nine main meridians were missing, and a thousand years had passed. The people of Maoshan had actually given up hope that the four meridians would return.
Therefore, there was an idea to choose from among the disciples to inherit the thirty-six veins.
Si Ting and Si Luan have already set their sights on the four main veins and have made countless efforts for this. However, despite all their efforts, they have not yet obtained the position of the master of the main vein. Now it has been easily obtained by a wild boy who came back from outside. How can they feel balanced? The most important thing is that Jia Le's cultivation level is even worse than theirs.
But it is such a disciple who is now enjoying the highest level of reception treatment in Maoshan.
This made them feel that no matter how hard they worked, it would not be as good as being born well. They felt extremely unbalanced. Looking at the Maoshan high-level officials testing them with their aura, they also wanted to make Jiale look bad. If Jiale looked bad in front of all the Maoshan disciples, he would naturally not dare to take the position of the Maoshan Yin Yang Master.
However, they had good intentions, but they could never have imagined that Jiale was such a monstrous being. Even though they were regarded as the most gifted disciples of this generation at Maoshan, when they saw the three suns rising together behind Jiale, competing with the big sun for glory, they could not help but feel inferior.
The many dissatisfactions that had arisen in my heart before began to dissipate at this time.
Just as Jiale thought, by showing enough strength, he could make those ignorant people give up and not have to bother with these trivial matters in the future.
Jia Le defeated all the Maoshan high-ranking officials in three days, which made them give up the idea of hiding their power. They were all Maoshan's high-ranking officials and well-known figures in the entire cultivation world. Now there were so many disciples watching them. If they stopped at this point, they would not be able to save face.
In that case, let them see how far Jiale can go.
