Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 15: Strength Enhancement, Five Luck Huagai
Over the years, with the alternation of day and night, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, Chang'e can be said to be the person who has the most thorough understanding of the sun, except for Xiao Jinwu.
Now that the sun has changed, Chang'e can naturally feel it.
However, Chang'e was not a person who liked to explore things. Although she was a little curious, she did not delve into it deeply. Within this Zhoutian, there were secrets everywhere. If she really wanted to delve into it, she might not even have time to practice.
"Sister Chang'e, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
A woman next to Chang'e saw Chang'e's absent-minded look and couldn't help but ask. Chang'e came back to her senses then. Chang'e was already extremely beautiful, nourished by the power of the moon. In the three realms, there were probably not many women who could compare with Chang'e in temperament and appearance, but the woman next to Chang'e was definitely one of them.
If Chang'e is the kind of aloof fairy who is detached from the mundane world, then the woman in front of him is the kind of fresh and elegant girl next door.
"Yes, Sister Chang'e, you can see the Sun Star almost every day. How come you are still so fascinated by it today? I heard that no one else owns the Sun Star except the little prince. After so many years, Sister Chang'e still has us sisters to accompany her. I'm afraid that the little prince must have had a harder time than her."
Another fairy who spoke was no less beautiful than Chang'e, with impeccable appearance. Compared with Yang Chan's girl-next-door temperament, this one was more like an older sister next door, indescribably calm and elegant.
"Hehe, my two sisters may not know this. If it is true that there were no other people on the Sun Star before, it will not be the case in the future."
Um!
Upon hearing this, Chang'e, Yang Chan and Ao Tingxin all turned their gazes to the beautiful woman who was gorgeous yet not vulgar, charming yet not coquettish. This woman was the Lord of Flowers appointed by the Heavenly Court, in charge of matters concerning flowers and plants in the three realms. She was the most well-informed. If there was any new news from the Heavenly Court, she would definitely be the first to know.
"Did Sister Baihua hear some news?"
Chang'e couldn't help but ask at this time. Yang Chan and Ao Tingxin looked impatient. It was related to the Sun Star, so it was no small matter. It was earth-shattering news. The fire of gossip was burning. No matter whether it was in the mortal world or in heaven, no matter whether it was an ordinary woman or a fairy, everyone had a gossipy heart.
The Fairy of Flowers took a sip of the hot tea and savored it, but she had already determined her stance. Seeing that the three sisters opposite her were showing signs of taking action, she did not dare to delay any longer and spoke quickly.
"You all should know about the Seventh Princess, right?"
Seventh Princess!
Chang'e and the other two looked at each other, this matter had already become a hot topic. Although the love between immortals and mortals was a disgrace to the Heavenly Court, the disgrace was ultimately caused by the Jade Emperor. Even the immortals and gods in Heaven would probably be happy to see the Jade Emperor make a fool of himself. So when the matter of the seventh princess falling in love with a mortal was revealed, the whole Heavenly Court was already in an uproar, how could they not know about it.
"Could this matter be related to the Seventh Princess?"
The Fairy of Flowers nodded, then shook her head, "Yes and no."
The appetites of Chang'e and the other two were really whetted, and they gradually lost their patience.
"Baihua, we're wondering if you've been drifting off the track again. Do you want us to use the Taiyin Cold Stone to cool you down?"
Seeing that the three sisters were already rolling up their sleeves, the Fairy of Flowers shuddered immediately. The Taiyin Cold Stone was the coldest and coldest thing in the world, and even she didn't dare touch it. It didn't just cool them down, it would turn into ice in an instant. She didn't dare tease the three of them anymore, so she opened her mouth quickly and told them everything in one breath.
"I heard that the Seventh Princess hid in a Taoist temple of the Three Goddesses in the Southern Continent, hoping to avoid being hunted by the Giant Spirit God. Unexpectedly, a disciple of Shangqing appeared at this time. He was also the owner of the Taoist temple. He praised the Heavenly Rules and thought that the one prohibiting immortals and mortals from falling in love was very good.
As for the Seventh Princess, he gave her a lecture with words and praised Tian Tiao and the Emperor a lot. However, the Seventh Princess Lian Fan was very ignorant. It was said that she was enjoying the benefits of the Seventh Princess and the emperor, but now she was causing trouble for the emperor, which was really wrong.
Finally, Master Ge also came. The Seventh Princess was naturally taken back by the Giant Spirit God. It is said that the mortal was also sent to the underworld. The Shangqing disciple who spoke was soon brought to the Heaven by Master Ge to meet the Emperor. His words pleased the Emperor. Just think about it, the Emperor conferred the title of Sun Star Lord on him because of this word, and now he has settled in the Sun Star. "
What!
Sun Star God!
Like Taiyin Star Lord, Taiyang Star Lord is a fourth-grade deity. How could he be given this title without any hesitation? And he was given this title to a person who had just entered the fairy world, just because he flattered him? This was too absurd.
You know, Chang'e has been in heaven for a long time, but she is only a fourth-rank deity. This person has reached the sky in one step.
Yang Chan and Ao Tingxin found it even more ridiculous.
Yang Chan is the niece of the Jade Emperor. She was conferred the title of the Holy Mother of Mount Hua and enjoyed the incense of Mount Hua. She looked good, but she was only a fifth-rank deity. Ao Tingxin's father, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, was only a fifth-rank deity. All of a sudden, he was much higher than them.
"Yes, that's the expression on your face. Although this incident only happened yesterday, some well-informed immortals and gods have already known about it. After hearing the news, they all had the same expression. I'm afraid it won't be long before the news spreads that there is another person in the Heavenly Court who ascended to the fourth-grade Sun Star Lord throne by flattering others. This person will become famous overnight."
The three of them looked at each other, "Who is this person?"
"It is said that he is a disciple of Master Ge Tianshi, a direct descendant of Shangqing, and his name is Jingchun."
I see!
Sun Palace.
Jiale's cultivation has entered a critical moment. For a true immortal to practice, the two most important things are the comprehension of the laws and the accumulation of magic power.
For Jiale, these two things can actually be said to be one thing, which is the accumulation of energy beads.
There are more than a hundred True Immortal-level energy beads, including some True Immortal Tenth-level energy beads. The abundant energy in them is beyond words.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. One day in heaven is one year on earth.
At this time, the Jade Emperor had already issued an edict to confer the title of Sun Star God on Jiale. The three realms were in an uproar, and everyone felt that it was a joke. After all, he was just a true immortal. The Jade Emperor conferred the title of Sun Star God on him just because he flattered him. This was too frivolous. What a tyrant!
Of course, the tyrant was cursing in his heart. The Jade Emperor was still very majestic, and no one dared to test the sharpness of the Heavenly Court's Xing Knife.
Jing Chun is Ge Xuan’s disciple?
That's okay.
No wonder, it turns out that he is not only good at flattering, but also has someone behind him. Ge Xuan is one of the four great heavenly masters and a direct descendant of Shangqing. He is an important figure in the heavenly court of Shangqing. The only ones who can be compared with him are the North Pole Purple Qi Lord, the Yongzuo Kan Palace Dou Mu Goddess, the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, the Southern Three Qi Fire Star Lord and the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming.
It's okay for a person like this to help his disciple get a fourth-grade god position in the Heavenly Palace. But that's the Sun Star God, isn't he afraid that his disciple's butt will be burned while sitting there?
Therefore, after the court meeting, Jiale left people with only two impressions.
A cunning boy who only knows how to flatter, a second-generation rich man who relied on his master to get to the top.
Jiale naturally didn't know this. At this moment, with the support of a large amount of energy beads, Jiale had already comprehended 70% of it.
At the same time, the accumulation of magic power also reached the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm. In other words, Jiale completed the transition from the fifth level to the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm in just ten days. His strength has more than increased a hundred times.
However, the energy beads were completely consumed, and it was impossible to improve at such a rapid pace.
The Sun Star Crystal in his hand had also been refined. The Sun Star was definitely the best place to cultivate the Sun God Body. Jia Le traveled through this world and got help from the essence and blood of the Nine Golden Crows to break through to the Sun God Body. However, it was still a long way from perfection. However, after arriving at the Sun Star, Jia Le seemed to have found the rhythm of cultivating the Sun God Body at the beginning, and his cultivation progressed rapidly.
With the addition of the Sun Star Crystal given by Yunxiao, Jiale has taken another solid step forward on the basis of achieving the perfection of his divine body.
If you look closely, you can find that the sun mark between Jiale's eyebrows has become much brighter. This mark was completely solidified after Jiale's divine body was perfected. Its significance is not only beautiful, but also a great magical power of the Sun Divine Body. Once activated, it can use the power of the sun to fight the enemy. In addition, with the authority of the Sun Star Lord, he can mobilize the power of the sun.
Adding the two together, with Jiale's current strength, he would probably be able to advance and retreat freely even when facing a Xuanxian.
A circle of lucky blue cloud appeared behind his head, and if he looked closely, he could find that the majestic lucky blue cloud had been interwoven into a colorful canopy, indestructible, with five colors: red, yellow, green, gold and purple.
Purple Qi is the core, which is Jia Le's original fortune and the accumulation of Jia Le along the way. Most of it is obtained through his improvement in cultivation, and cannot be taken away by others no matter what means are used.
The golden energy is the secondary core, which represents Jiale's accumulated power and is also the accumulation of the three worlds, Uncle Jiu's world and Liao Zhai world. Jiale has almost gathered 30% of the luck of these two worlds, which are now manifested in this golden energy, as well as the short-term accumulation in the Precious Lotus Lantern.
The green air is in the middle, which is the luck protection given to Jiale by the Shangqing lineage. Jiale is now the fourth generation disciple of the Shangqing lineage. Under the protection of the Shangqing lineage, he has his own luck. Although Jiale seems to have a lot of luck now, it is still not worth mentioning compared to the Shangqing lineage. The luck given by the Shangqing lineage is definitely not small.
The second yellow energy was the result of Jiale's status and his previous painstaking planning, including the 30% luck of the emperor of mankind that Jiale had obtained in the world of Liao Zhai, as well as the luck of the position of god in heaven that he had just obtained by being conferred the title of the fourth-rank Sun Star Lord, and so on.
The red energy represents the accumulation of Jiale's fame, as well as the luck bestowed by Jiale's own spiritual treasures, spiritual beasts, etc.
These five kinds of luck, when taken separately, are all quite explosive in the realm of True Immortal. Now that they are gathered together, they are enough to make him the number one True Immortal in this world. Not to mention True Immortal, I am afraid that no one can compare to him among the Mysterious Immortals. After all, no one has heard of any immortal who can interweave the Five Lucks at the True Immortal stage. Yang Jian and Monkey King may be able to do it, but I have never heard of it.
Ming!
A golden rainbow streaked out of the Sun Palace like a stream of light and flew over the Sun Star. Xiao Qi and the others felt the breath of the golden rainbow and immediately followed it happily. They followed it all the way and actually formed a beautiful landscape in the entire sky. The eight golden crows flew around the Sun Star, making it even hotter.
Little Golden Crow was also stunned when he saw this scene, and he actually had an urge to join in. He didn't know how Jiale managed to transform into a Golden Crow, but for many years, the ten brothers had also traveled through the starry sky in this way. Now that nine of the brothers were gone, such a grand scene no longer existed.
Ming!
The little Golden Crow couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart after all, and he followed with a loud cry. The nine Golden Crows flew around the Sun Star once, but they were still not satisfied, so they flew directly out of the Sun Star.
Jiale is in a very good mood as his cultivation and spirit improve.
Since he took office as the Sun God, he has not had a good look at the starry sky. In his previous life, he had seen a corner of the starry sky through a telescope, but how could he have had the opportunity to get so close to the starry sky.
The Golden Crow Transformation was activated, and he immediately transformed into the Golden Crow, and then the Golden Crow turned into a rainbow. It was so fast.
However, Jiale had not expected that, not only would Xiaoqi and the others be able to escape, but Little Golden Crow would actually follow. The nine Golden Crows flew out of the Sun Star, lighting up the entire starry sky. The temperature also rose a lot at once. The star gods in the entire starry sky were all shocked and hurriedly looked outside, wanting to know what was going on.
It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it. Nine Golden Crows! Was I dazzled? However, the aura of the sun that was unique to the Golden Crows could not be imitated no matter what. This scene showed that nine Golden Crows really appeared in the Three Realms.
Could it be that the Queen Mother has given birth again?
The star gods have endless lifespans, and many of them have seen the Little Golden Crow. At first, they were a little unsure, but later they recognized that the last of the nine Golden Crows was the Little Golden Crow.
Little Golden Crow actually gave birth to the Sun Star?
At this moment, the entire starry sky was shocked. After all, this little Golden Crow has never appeared again since entering the Sun Star.
Heaven.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were suddenly excited, and the next moment their figures appeared in the starry sky. Looking at the nine golden crows flying across the sky, and watching the little golden crow walk out of the Sun Star, and looking at their happy faces, the Jade Emperor was fine, but the Queen Mother's eyes were already wet. Their choice was right, and Jiale was indeed the opportunity. Although the little golden crow's knot was still there, Jiale was able to make the little golden crow walk out of the Sun Star. So, is it still a long way for the little golden crow to untie the knot?
"Congratulations, Emperor, and congratulations, Empress."
Taibai Jinxing stood in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and was genuinely happy for them. His eyes fell on Jiale, the leader of the Nine Golden Crows.
Others may not know, but as a close minister of the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing still knows a thing or two. At this time, he has already confirmed that this person is the Jade Emperor's newly appointed Sun Star Lord. Seeing that Jia Le can actually transform into a golden crow, and his strength is not like the fifth level of the True Fairyland as those immortals said. With this kind of aura, even the tenth level is low. If a real fight breaks out, I am afraid that no one in the True Fairyland can be Jia Le's opponent.
The most important thing is that many people are still worried that Jiale will burn his butt sitting in the position of Sun Star Lord, but now it seems that within the Three Realms, there is probably no one else more suitable for this position than Jiale.
However, other immortals and gods in heaven are not like Taibai Jinxing. They know Jiale’s identity and are still guessing what is going on with the Nine Golden Crows.
On the moon.
Chang'e looked at this scene and finally understood the source of the abnormal change of the Sun Star that day. With the Nine Golden Crows, the Sun Star's luck increased greatly and had already surpassed her own Moon Star.
The west.
"Nine days in the sky, the mysteries of the heavens are hard to predict, and there are many variables."
The Buddha looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh. His gaze returned to the Merit Pool in front of him. A black shadow appeared in the golden water.
"Hey , what about the variables? Fate is changeable. You spend the whole day trying to control everything. You use up all your thoughts and schemes. You say I am a demon, but I think you are more like a demon. Since there are changes, just kill them. Kill all the living beings in this world, and naturally you don't need to worry about anything else. Tathagata, I will be born soon, and you can't trap me."
Listening to the devil's voice beside his ears, Tathagata did not react. The thought of Buddha and devil is not just talk. The Buddhist practice seems to be the nemesis of the devil, but who knows how many of the demons in this world are transformed by Buddha?
Without the devil, where would the Buddha come from!
"Buddha has already made his move."
A figure appeared, and Tathagata nodded. It might not work with the Seventh Princess of Heaven, so now he could only make another move. However, he could not give up on the Seventh Princess, so he had to follow up simultaneously.
At their level, if they want to improve their cultivation, they cannot do without luck.
Where does good luck come from?
For Buddhism, it is nothing more than preaching. This was the case when Buddhism was introduced to Jambudvīpa, and it is also the case when Buddhism is now being spread to the East. However, the spread of Buddhism to the East is not such an easy task. The first obstacle facing Buddhism is the Heavenly Court.
Dongsheng Shenzhou seems to be the territory of the Three Pure Ones, but the vanguard in preventing Buddhism from spreading eastward is actually the Heavenly Court.
The huge Heavenly Palace, at this time, did not have a single Buddhist lord. Why? Wasn't it because the Jade Emperor was afraid that the Heavenly Palace would be infiltrated by Buddhism like the Underworld? In the Underworld today, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has basically taken over half of the Underworld, with a much stronger voice and the power of reincarnation in his hands. However, the one who entered the Underworld at that time was only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
With this previous experience as a lesson, how could the Jade Emperor not worry about Buddhism?
If Buddhism really infiltrates into the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor is not sure whether he can resist the development of Buddhism, so the best way is to block it at the root.
The Three Pure Ones will not covet the throne of the Emperor as long as their interests are not affected, but it is different for Buddhism.
Therefore, compared with the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor was more resistant to the spread of Buddhism to the East. After all, with the overbearing nature of Buddhism, the more territory Buddhism gained, the less authority the Heavenly Court would have. So although the two sometimes cooperated, the boundary was very clear. They came together for profit and divided because of profit. However, there were some benefits that the Jade Emperor was unwilling to take even if they were right at his fingertips.
The Heavenly Court and Buddhism understand each other, and Buddhism has never relaxed its intention to spread Buddhism to the East.
From Yao Ji to the seven princesses, the Jade Emperor knew everything, but these things could not be made public, so he could only work hard in secret. The Buddhists celebrated the first day of the month, and the Jade Emperor also celebrated the fifteenth day. Everything was just a game. It was not about the length of the moment, but only about the final win or loss. To be born as the children of the Jade Emperor was sometimes a misfortune.
The foundation of Heaven is the Heavenly Law, and the best way to shake the foundation of Heaven is to start with the people around the Jade Emperor. With a little effort, he was able to achieve a great result. In the matter of Yao Ji, the Jade Emperor handled it decisively and thoroughly, and the Buddhist sect was not surprised. If the Jade Emperor did not have this skill, the Buddhist sect would not have regarded him as an opponent.
But once is fine, but what about twice? Three times?
Buddhism can afford to wait, it just depends on whether Heaven can afford to consume the energy.
He didn't travel in the starry sky for too long, and he dared not walk out of the starry sky. Although there was no Kuafu or Houyi in the Three Realms now, who could be sure that there wouldn't be a second Kuafu or Houyi? If he was shot while traveling for a while, Jiale wouldn't even have a place to cry. His strength was still shallow, so he dared not be too reckless.
Now that his cultivation has reached a breakthrough, if he takes this opportunity to show off, his goal has already been achieved, but too much is as bad as too little.
Sun Palace.
Jiale and Xiaojinwu looked at each other in surprise.
"How can you transform into the Golden Crow?"
Jiale actually likes this little Golden Crow very much. He has a good temper and is not too cunning, making him the perfect person to make friends with.
"My master has a technique called Thirty-Six Celestial Transformations. As long as you have the blood of a divine beast, you can transform into a divine beast. The nine princes gave me essence and blood, which gave me a trace of Golden Crow blood in my body. I can practice Golden Crow Transformations, and this is how I transform into a Golden Crow. The Thirty-Six Celestial Transformations are very magical. After I transform into a Golden Crow, I can also possess many of the Golden Crow's magical powers, as I did just now."
Listening to Jiale's explanation, Little Golden Crow had a complicated look.
"Thank you. Every time I see you, I feel like my nine brothers are alive again."
Jiale nodded. Isn't this the purpose of the Jade Emperor? "Your Highness, I understand your feelings very well. If you don't mind, you can tell me what's in your heart. Just treat it as talking to your brother."
Little Golden Crow hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally spoke slowly.
A lot has been said, from birth to now, at this moment, Jiale seems to have really become Xiao Jinwu's older brother, and Xiao Jinwu also truly regards Jiale as his own brother. Xiao Jinwu has too many helplessness and nowhere to confide. For so many years, even if he wanted to find someone to talk to, he didn't know who to find.
Everything that had been pent up for so many years came out today like pouring out beans.
Jiale listened very seriously. The knot in Xiao Jinwu's heart was actually that his nine brothers died to save him. In his opinion, even if he died, it would be better if any one of his brothers survived. But it was all too late and irreversible. After so many years, Xiao Jinwu actually knew that even if it happened again, his nine brothers would choose to sacrifice their lives to save him, because he would make the same choice.
But knowing and understanding are two different things.
To put it bluntly, it is just a competition between oneself and others. Jiale has seen this kind of situation too many times, but it is also the most troublesome to persuade them.
"Does it feel better to say it out loud?"
Xiao Jinwu nodded. Indeed, after saying this, he felt as relaxed as if he had washed off two pounds of mud all over his body. He felt more relaxed than ever before. Jiale, looking at Xiao Jinwu like this, was not so optimistic. This was only a temporary solution and it was impossible to fundamentally solve Xiao Jinwu's problem.
"Your Highness, you are now carrying the hopes and expectations of the nine princes. In other words, Your Highness is not only living for yourself, but also for the nine princes. Such decadence is not what the nine princes want to see. Just like this sun, no matter how many sufferings happen under the sun today, the sun will not stop running. The next day, it will appear where it should appear, because those sufferings are only temporary. More people believe that as long as the sun is there, everything will be fine."
Jiale didn't say much. There was still enough time and it was okay to take it slowly. It was just like coaxing a child. It wasn't enough to just talk about big principles. Just set the guidelines and then slowly help them to establish the right mindset again.
"Big Sun?"
Little Golden Crow seemed to be thinking about something, so Jiale stopped disturbing him and left quietly.
"Master, I want to go to the Undying Volcano."
The sound of the Angry Chicken reached Jiale's ears. Looking at the appearance of the Angry Chicken, Jiale knew what it was thinking.
Speaking of which, among all the spiritual beasts in Jiale, the Angry Chicken is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of bloodline, but bloodline is also a shackle. As time goes by, Tiangou and Xiaoqi have all got the opportunity to break through the true fairyland, but only the Angry Chicken is still stagnant in the mortal realm and cannot break through. It needs an opportunity. Watching Tiangou and the others moving forward step by step, the Angry Chicken does not want to fall behind. It knows that if it waits any longer, it may really not be able to catch up in the future.
The lazy Angry Chicken also began to get anxious at this time. It had the blood of the Phoenix and if it wanted to transform, it had to find the Phoenix clan.
Jiale has been in this world for so long, and Angry Chicken has also gained a lot. He knows that there is a Phoenix Clan in this world, and their base camp is in the Undead Volcano, but they don't often appear in the world.
Immortal volcano!
This mountain is between reality and illusion. It is not located somewhere in the four continents, but a different space attached to the World of Precious Lotus Lantern. However, this different space may not be worse than the Small Thousand Worlds. The World of Precious Lotus Lantern is undoubtedly special. There are countless Small Thousand Worlds in the universe, but if the World of Precious Lotus Lantern is counted, it is undoubtedly the first-class existence among these worlds.
Behind Jiale is the entire Shangqing lineage, so naturally they know the entrance to the Immortal Volcano.
The coast of the South China Sea!
"Have you decided?"
Angry Chicken nodded, and Jiale did not stop him, "Okay, then I will accompany you."
"Master, I."
The Angry Chicken wanted to say that it could do it. It knew that Jiale was also very pressed for time. As Jiale's spirit beasts, no one knew better than them how eager Jiale was to improve his strength. They could sense that there seemed to be a string always taut in Jiale's heart, as if some danger would happen at any time.
It is precisely because of this that these spiritual beasts never dare to slack off. When Jiale does not need them, they never slack off. They basically practice hard in the Kunlun Mirror because they do not want to be powerless when the danger really comes. Even if they want to find the Phoenix Clan now, the Angry Chicken does not know whether the Phoenix Clan will accept it.
Even with the help of Jia Le, Angry Chicken is confident that its phoenix bloodline is purer than most phoenixes, but it is an outsider after all, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
Jiale stopped Nu Qing Ji from talking. Nu Qing Ji was only at the peak of the mortal realm, which was nothing in this world. Moreover, he had the blood of the Phoenix. If he went out by himself, he might be caught by someone tomorrow and thrown into the alchemy furnace to make medicine.
"No need to say more. I just want to go out for a walk. The South China Sea is a great place."
