Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 1: New World

The world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Mount Mao, and Yin Yang Peak.
Uncle Jiu and the others looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of them, their hearts were shocked and their eyes were stunned. They didn't know what had happened. They only felt that after a dizzying moment, they appeared here. However, the spiritual energy here was too rich. Compared with the Dukong Domain, it was simply a world of difference.
Are you dreaming? It’s best if you don’t wake up from it.
"Master, uncle, mountain master, supreme elder, uncle, Kunlun, how are you?"
A familiar voice sounded in the ears of Uncle Jiu and others. Uncle Jiu and others turned around suddenly, and that familiar face appeared in front of them.
It's Jiale! That's right, it's Jiale.
"Jia Le! You!"
Simu pointed at Jiale excitedly, stepped in front of Jiale, and was so excited that tears were about to flow out.
"It's really you who brought us here?"
Uncle Jiu and the others finally confirmed that the person in front of them was indeed Jia Le, and they all asked questions excitedly.
"Don't be anxious, let's talk slowly. After I overcame the tribulation, I came to this world. Now that my cultivation has improved and I have some ability to open up time and space channels, I brought you here." After saying that, Jiale looked at Simu again, "Master, your apprentice is not in vain, I have never forgotten you."
Simu's eyes were already filled with tears.
"I have always dreamed of seeing you again, but I never thought that the Grandmaster would open his eyes and actually let me see you again. Well done, Jiale, you are really great. The proudest thing in my life is that I accepted you."
The few of them quickly adapted to the concentration of spiritual energy in the world of Liao Zhai. With Jia Le's introduction, they also learned about the situation in their current world.
Yin and Yang are the main meridians.
They also marveled at the ingenious fate. Jiale introduced Changren, Sun Qing and others to them. Changren heard Jiale say that these were all members of the Yin-Yang lineage, and felt the aura of martial arts from Uncle Jiu and others. This was clearly the aura of pure Maoshan martial arts. But how come he had never seen these people before? Could they be disciples of various lineages who were left behind at the foot of the mountain?
After removing the formation, Jiale welcomed Taoist Zhenliang and the two supreme elders into Yin Yang Peak.
After seeing Uncle Jiu and the others, Taoist Zhenliang was no less surprised than Changren, but this time Jiale did not hide it from them.
“Ascension!”
Taoist Zhenliang had actually felt something was amiss a long time ago. After all, Jiale's past was somewhat mysterious. However, Jiale's talent was too outstanding, his strength improved too quickly, and he had no ill intentions towards Maoshan. So Taoist Zhenliang gradually forgot those details.
As Jiale walked step by step to the present, Taoist Zhenliang no longer cared. Even if Jiale practiced Maoshan's skills without permission and was not a disciple of Maoshan at all, he did not care.
But I just found out today that Jiale had such a background. No wonder there was no trace of Jiale before that. Now it all makes sense.
At the same time, Zhenliang Daoren and the other two were somewhat impressed by Jiale's methods, which allowed him to cross the world and bring Uncle Jiu and others here.
Taoist Zhenliang naturally welcomed the joining of Ziyin and others. Not to mention the relationship between Uncle Jiu and others and Jiale, the fact that they were all disciples of Maoshan was enough. Although they were not from the same world, they all worshipped the Taoist ancestor Shangqing, practiced the Maoshan Taoism, had the same beliefs and aspirations, and were from the same mountain sect. What was the difference?
What's more, whether it is Ziyin, Jiushu or Kunlun, they are all very qualified. After joining Maoshan, there will be only benefits and no disadvantages for Maoshan.
boom!
A month passed, and during this month, Jiale released Fahai, who was still in the Demon Subduing Tower. At this time, Fahai no longer had any evil thoughts. It was obvious that during the time in the Demon Subduing Tower, he not only completely suppressed his evil thoughts, but also had a new understanding of Buddhism. Jiale did not say much about this and directly released him back to Jinshan Temple.
There are also the white snake and the green snake.
Just like Jiale said, there are many ways to repay a favor, and Bai Suzhen did indeed get the idea. Xu Xian actually had a death calamity that was supposed to happen to Bai Suzhen. Although the two did not get married, the death calamity remained unchanged and still existed. Bai Suzhen also helped Xu Xian to overcome the death calamity and resolve the cause and effect.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, Jiale directly devoured the evil thoughts in her soul and sent her into reincarnation.
As for the ancestor brought back from Uncle Jiu's world, Jiale sent him directly into the underworld through the weak space of Black Mountain. There were many Yin gods from Maoshan in the underworld, and they took care of each other. The ancestor was also an expert in business, so he was naturally like a fish in water.
Zi Yin and the other two already had a profound foundation, and now had sufficient spiritual energy. Finally, one month after coming to the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, they successfully broke through to the Return to Void Realm.
After their lifespans were increased, the two finally no longer had to worry about their lifespans.
Uncle Jiu, Simu and others also made breakthroughs. Jiale refined elixirs to strengthen their foundation. Their future cultivation path will definitely be much better than before.
Even for Qiu Sheng, Jiale directly helped him to break his elixir and start over. Since Qiu Sheng had survived this level and waited for Jiale, Jiale naturally had to take their friendship into consideration. Although breaking the elixir and starting over was troublesome, it could also give Qiu Sheng more possibilities. With Jiale's help, it was only a matter of time for him to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm again. It was not impossible for him to reach the Spirit Refining Realm or even higher in the future.
The one who is least worried is Kunlun, as he had already broken through to the Yin Shen realm before Ziyin.
In terms of qualifications, he is the best among the nineteen.
Just as Jiale thought, with the addition of Uncle Jiu and others, the structure of Yin Yang Peak became more perfect. Changren was also relieved. After all, Jiale was not in charge of things. In the past, Yin Yang Peak was supported by him alone. Now, he finally had helpers, and so many of them.
Wansheng and Xiahou Jie were both left in Da Chu by Jiale. After all, they were both warriors, and practicing in Da Chu was the most suitable for them. However, Jiale also asked Su Tianxin to help teach them. With their qualifications, they could definitely make further progress.
Looking at Yin Yang Peak getting on the right track step by step and everything that has been arranged, Jia Le also realized that it might be time for him to leave the world of Liao Zhai.
This day.
The Kunlun Mirror was activated, and the energy beads began to be consumed violently. In front of Jiale's eyes, phantoms of the world began to appear, and finally stopped on a world with three thousand perfect laws. Feeling the breath of the world, Jiale knew that this must be a small world.
However, Jiale at this time also realized that it was indeed different with or without Qian. After this consumption, 50% of the energy beads in Jiale's Kunlun Mirror were directly consumed, and only 50% remained.
The space-time channel finally took shape.
Jiale turned around and took a look at the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, then stepped into it. As Jiale's figure disappeared, the passage to the world was also closed.
At this moment, Taoist Zhenliang and others seemed to have sensed something, but Jiale had already made some arrangements before leaving, so it did not cause any major chaos. People only knew that Maoshan Nengchun had gone into seclusion.
Inside the world channel, it is just like the journey from Uncle Jiu’s world to the Liao Zhai world.
However, practice makes perfect. This time Jia Le was well prepared. With sufficient energy, Jia Le was not afraid of the erosion of space-time energy. Instead, he was able to let the Kunlun Mirror absorb space-time energy to recover.
boom!
A dark shadow suddenly appeared, like a Kun, and attacked Jiale. The terrifying aura made Jiale lose the ability to move almost instantly.
But Jiale didn't dare to stay at this time. The beast's bloody mouth was wide open. Jiale had no doubt that if he didn't take action, he would be eaten.
Without sparing any energy, Jia Le directly used the Kunlun Mirror. He was not far away from the Small Thousand Worlds to begin with. After this move, Jia Le finally entered the Small Thousand Worlds anchored by the Kunlun Mirror before being bitten by the ferocious beast.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Beside a road, Jiale bent over and gasped for breath, the bloody mouth of the ferocious beast still in his mind. He was filled with fear. If he had been a little slower, he might have been dead.
It seems that the danger of traveling through time and space is far more than just the turbulence of time and space, but also the fact that such ferocious beasts lurk where this time and space flow.
Fortunately, no such ferocious beast appeared when I traveled through the time and space channel for the first time, otherwise, perhaps nothing would have happened later.
After calming down, Jiale finally had time to look around.
It is worthy of being a small world. The concentration of spiritual energy here is not comparable to that of the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Practicing in such a world can at least increase the progress of cultivation by ten times.
At this time, Jiale was on a road, and judging from the traces, it should be an official road.
"drive!"
At this moment, a carriage slowly drove over, no, it was a convoy, followed by three more carriages, a total of four, and more than a dozen horsemen. It must be a caravan or a escort vehicle.
Jiale stepped aside to make way for the carriage.
The leader looked at Jiale warily and drove slowly past. Jiale saw him and nodded.
The level of martial arts in this world should be quite high. He just arrived for the first time, but he has met a martial arts master at the grandmaster level.
Although the convoy was long, it only took a few breaths to pass by. Just when Jiale was about to find a place to rest and take a look at the world, one of the riders in the convoy actually came back.
A young man in the Xiantian realm stopped on horseback not far from Jiale, dismounted, and bowed.
"Master, the Madam invites you."
Jiale looked at himself. He was wearing a Maoshan Taoist robe. It was easy for people to recognize him as a Taoist priest. But why did this family invite him over?
After thinking about it, Jiale didn't refuse. After all, he had just arrived and didn't have anywhere to go. It would be a good opportunity to ask the team about the situation.
"Please lead the way."
Seeing Jiale's calm appearance and feeling his extraordinary temperament, the young man seemed to be much more cautious. He did not ride the horse, but just led Jiale forward by the hand.
When Jiale saw this look, he thought to himself that this world should still respect Taoists, otherwise, this young man would not look like this.
The convoy had just passed by, and the two men only took a few steps forward before arriving at the convoy.
The grandmaster who led the team also came over at this time.
He bowed to Jiale.
"Master, where are we going on this trip?"
where?
Jiale looked at the grandmaster in front of him and pointed in the direction the carriage was heading.
"Which city is the closest to here?"
"So the Taoist priest is also going to Jinling City. That's great. You may as well come with us. This is a wilderness, and it's inconvenient for Madam to get off the car. After we arrive in Jinling City, Madam would like to host a banquet for the Taoist priest and discuss something with him."
Jinling City!
Jiale also secretly thought it was fate. When he traveled to the world of Liao Zhai, his first stop was not far from Jinling City, and now he was near Jinling City again.
I didn't ask the lady what she wanted to discuss. After all, it wasn't necessary for them to travel together and I would have to owe her a favor.
"Okay."
Seeing Jiale agree, the grandmaster showed joy on his face.
"Li Tong, bring a horse to the Taoist priest."
It turned out that the young man was called Li Tong. Upon hearing the words of the great master, the young man hurriedly took a horse from the caravan and gave it to Jia Le.
Jiale is also an experienced driver. He can ride the black horse of the Ghost Lord realm steadily, let alone an ordinary horse.
Animals are most sensitive to danger. This horse is not a docile one. In Jiale's hands, it becomes like a cat and doesn't dare to mess around at all.
Jiale sat steadily on the horse and followed the convoy. When the great master saw this scene, his eyes moved, but he didn't say much and just moved forward.
"Set off."
Although Jiale continued to use energy beads to recover from his injuries in the space-time channel, he was frightened by the ferocious beast. Although he saved his life, injuries were still inevitable, especially the injuries to his soul. The momentum of the beast when it opened its big mouth almost knocked Jiale unconscious. Jiale estimated that the beast was at least at the Golden Immortal level.
Fortunately, there were still enough energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror. Energy flowed through the body, and soon the hidden injuries in the body began to recover.
It was morning now, and streams of Yang essence fell into Jiale's body, which Jiale used to recover from the hidden injuries in his body and soul.
About an hour later, Jiale's injuries had all healed.
The cultivation level at the peak of the Hedao realm seemed to have become even more vigorous after this day, and the breakthrough was somewhat unstoppable.
After figuring out the situation in this world, Jiale thought he would have to find a safe place and make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
The Small Thousand Worlds is indeed different from the Big World. At this moment, Jia Le senses the Yin-Yang Laws between heaven and earth with a clarity that is simply incomparable to the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Moreover, there is no harm without comparison. Feeling the Yin-Yang Laws of this world, compared with the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is found that the laws of the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are not only incomplete, but also greatly incomplete.
Fortunately, he held back and did not rush to break through, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss.
After walking for a while, they saw more and more people around. It must be summer, with red flowers, green willows and shady grass. The outline of a big city gradually appeared in front of Jiale's eyes.
The great master came to Jiale again.
"Master, the Jinling City is just ahead. Do you have a pass or a Taoist spy with you?"
Hmm! As expected of the Small Thousand Worlds, this mortal dynasty actually began to ask for ID cards. He shook his head. He didn't have that thing. He could conjure one, but it shouldn't be necessary. For a great cultivator at the peak of the Hedao realm, it would be so troublesome for him to enter a mortal city. It was too embarrassing.
"this!"
The grand master was also dumbfounded when he saw this. He had asked in a very tactful way. After probing all the way, he was sure that Jia Le was indeed a capable Taoist priest. Let alone other things, just making a wild horse obedient, closing its eyes, and moving forward steadily was not something that ordinary people could do.
But without a pass and a spy, he would be an illegal resident. The Su family had the ability to bring Jiale in, but in this troubled time, if Jiale turned out to be an evildoer and implicated their Su family, it would be adding insult to injury.
Jiale also saw the Grand Master's dilemma and smiled and shook his head.
"Which is the largest inn in this city?"
The Grand Master didn't know what Jiale meant, but he still answered truthfully, "It should be Xiankeju!"
Upon hearing this, Jiale immediately dismounted and walked towards the city gate. "I'll go ahead. If you really have something to do, come to Xiankeju to find me."
At this time, Jiale finally understood that this family might have encountered some evil spirits, which was why they were desperate and sought help from a Taoist priest like him. For Jiale, the business of exorcising demons and monsters could not be stopped no matter which world he was in. After all, this was the source of energy beads and the ladder for improving his cultivation.
He walked forward all the way, without queuing, and walked into the city gate in a swagger. The officers and soldiers on both sides ignored Jia Le and let him walk into the city.
The grandmaster who was looking at Jiale's back finally realized that this man must have real skills, as he had managed to enter the city like this.
He took two steps to the middle carriage.
"Madam, the Taoist priest said he would go ahead and told us to go to Xiankeju to find him if we have any business. He must be a capable person. Apart from the previous test, the fact that he entered the city gate without being stopped is enough to explain something. I just don't know if he will have any grudge against us after this incident."
"No problem," a lazy voice came from the carriage. Judging from the voice, the man should not be too old, and the voice was also very pleasant. "Since you are capable, you won't care about these things. If you really have a grudge, you won't tell you your whereabouts. Let's go into the city first."
Jinling City, where immortals live.
As expected of the largest restaurant in Jinling City, Jiale found it after just asking a few questions.
When he first arrived, Jiale did not use any divination techniques. Divination is a way to manipulate fate. When he first entered this new world, Jiale was still restrained and was not so reckless.
"Master, who are you?"
"Serve us some of our signature dishes and a good bottle of wine."
"Okay, wait a moment."
He took a look at the lobby of Xiankeju, and it was indeed worthy of being the number one restaurant in Jinling. The lobby was very large. It was noon, and there were more than a hundred people sitting there eating. Jiale found an inconspicuous place and sat down.
"Have you heard that the second master of the Su family is also dead?"
"What? Did the Su family offend someone they shouldn't have? Why are there so many deaths? The eldest master died just a month ago, and the second master is also dead. It really is the women who are in charge now."
"Who dares to say what happened? Do you remember when the old master of the Su family died? Wasn't it when he married Su Xiaoniang? That night, the old master of the Su family and more than a dozen wives and concubines died. This huge family fell into the hands of Su Xiaoniang who had just married. I heard that Su Xiaoniang had been escorting people herself some time ago. I guess the second master Su wanted to take advantage of Su Xiaoniang's absence to do something and take over the Su family. Now, he is dead too."
"You mean?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense."
The restaurant was indeed a gathering place for information. While Jiale was waiting for his dishes, he had already understood most of the situation in this dynasty.
"Sir, your dishes are ready. Enjoy."
What he heard just now was only a part of it. Although Jiale was recovering from his injuries when he followed the convoy, he also heard the conversation in the convoy. That convoy belonged to the Su family, and the lady following the car was probably the Su Xiaoniang mentioned by these people.
Dozens of people have died in the past month or so. It seems that the first energy bead of this new world has been found.
The dynasty that Jiale is in now is called "Song". The officials have the same surname as the Qian Dynasty, Zhao. However, it looks a bit like the Song Dynasty that Jiale knew before. However, it is only somewhat similar. The territory of the Song Dynasty is very large, and it has ruled for three hundred years. The previous dynasty is the Tang Dynasty.
Jinling was known as the Southern Capital and could be said to be one of the top five major cities in the Song Dynasty.
The emperor of the Zhao family would often go down the river and travel to Jinling.
Moreover, in this world, immortals and gods are not so mysterious. Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, Dragon Palace, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Bodhisattva, and Buddha seem to be heard from the mouths of ordinary people. Even if they have never seen them, they should be certain that these immortals and gods must exist in this world. After entering Jinling City, Jiale discovered that the city was filled with a strong smell of incense. It was probably that many immortal temples were built for worship.
In short, this time, he really seemed to have come to an extraordinary world, where even picture books of Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, and Nezha appeared, and the story was talked about by children with relish. It seemed that now he had not yet broken through to the level of a true immortal, and it was really not enough, so he saw that keeping a low profile was a must.
However, the Heavenly Palace’s ability to control public opinion is not good enough. Even such an embarrassing thing as causing trouble in Heavenly Palace was not controlled and was allowed to spread widely.
In this mortal dynasty, not only are there cultivators worshipping it, there are also warriors, and martial arts are widely spread. There are many warriors in Jinling City alone, and it seems that the grand master is not the strongest one.
In short, this is not an easy world.
True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, the top of the power in this small world is probably the Golden Immortal.
Although I still don't know much about the way of immortals, but I can understand the gap by thinking about it. Finally, I have to find an organization to see if I can become a disciple. We are Maoshan, a descendant of the Shangqing lineage. No matter which world we go to, we should be able to make a living.
"Master, my lady would like to invite you to her house for a chat. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
After finishing all the food on the table, Jiale was about to get up when the great master of the Su family walked in, bowed to Jiale and explained his purpose. This scene attracted a lot of people's attention. Jiale did not refuse, nodded, and let him lead the way.
"That must be Grandmaster Li, the leader of the Su Mansion's guards. He was so respectful to that Taoist priest. Could he be a Taoist priest from some famous mountain?"
"Is this the point? Why did the Su family invite a Taoist priest? I'm afraid the Su family really provoked some evil spirit."

As Jiale and his companion left, the sound of frogs could be heard again in Xiankeju.
However, the center of public opinion has completely become the Su family.
"If you are passing by, take a look. This is the axe that the True God Yang used to split the mountain to save his mother. What are you looking at? My last name is Yang too. This is a legacy passed down from generation to generation. If my family wasn't in financial difficulty, I would never have taken out this axe. Three taels of silver, that's a bargain for you."
This time, the Grand Master of the Su family came with a sedan chair to welcome Jiale. As he passed the street corner, a voice reached Jiale's ears.
Listening to the big liar's words, Jiale couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Splitting the mountain to save his mother! The True God Yang was referring to Yang Jian, right? In this world, there is a Yang Jian who split the mountain to save his mother, right?
