Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 31 Golden Immortal
Sun Jiale!
Wasn’t Jiale’s previous life Sun Jiale before he traveled through time?
Thinking about his identity in modern times and everything he had experienced, Jiale was sure that it was definitely not a dream.
And everything that he experienced after traveling through time was not just a fantasy of a middle school boy before his death; it was all real.
However, everything in the previous life was cut off after all. If one counts carefully, it has been nearly two hundred years since he traveled through time. Most of the experiences in the previous life have become faint and vague. Only some details that are useful to Jiale can still be used by Jiale. Thinking about it carefully, the experience in the previous life can only enable Jiale to predict the future and be ahead of the enemy at certain times.
Now, Jiale’s most important goal is to practice cultivation and achieve immortality.
After traveling through time, he is no longer mediocre. No matter it is the previous life or the next life, everything he has experienced can only become the scenery on Jiale's journey. The path of cultivation is destined to be lonely. Even the people whom Jiale values, such as Simu and Jiu Shu, can only be left far behind on the road. Jiale walks too fast.
Not only were Uncle Jiu and others from the first world unable to catch up, but even some people who entered the Lotus Lantern world gradually fell behind.
Jiale didn't have time to plan for them. Maybe one day, Jiale would really reach the peak and be able to pull them up together, but that would definitely not be the case now. If a person who couldn't even control his own destiny still had the leisure to run things for others, it would simply be courting death.
Even now, Jiale is not without enemies, and there are people who want to kill Jiale. Moreover, as time goes by, these people will only become stronger and more numerous, so Jiale cannot stop and can only keep moving forward.
Previous life!
In the sea of gods, the Nine Nether Divine Lotus emitted a faint light, as if it could sense Jia Le's mind and was resonating with Jia Le.
The fetus changes into another shape!
When he broke through the Spirit Transformation Realm, he gained a total of three innate magical powers.
Master the Five Thunders, Returning Wind and Fire, and Fetal Transformation.
Among them, mastering the Five Thunders is the most effective, and is one of Jiale's strongest means of attack along the way. The next is Return Wind and Return Fire, which always allows Jiale to gain the upper hand in battle and achieve unexpected results. On the contrary, the Fetal Transformation, which contains the power of creation, is used a little roughly by Jiale.
It turns out that it has only been used to change and conceal the breath.
Jiale has not forgotten to this day that the real function of this magical power should be to create a clone, a clone that can be complete, a clone whose foundation may even surpass Jiale's.
However, unless one reaches the Golden Immortal stage, the use of such a clone is minimal. Jia Le’s understanding of the laws of creation was insufficient at the beginning, so even if he managed to create a clone, it was only a semi-finished product until today.
With the opportunity of sudden enlightenment, Jiale comprehended 90% of the laws of nature.
Ninety percent of the laws of creation are enough to enable Jiale to use fetal transformation to create an avatar.
His eyes fell on the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. This was the most suitable existence for forging an avatar that Jia Le valued. The lotus was born in nine grades, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Nine Nether Divine Lotus to bloom. Perhaps he needed to find his own opportunity.
A jade flower reflects the previous life and lets go.
Jia Le seemed to have realized something, and he began to use the fetal transformation technique, the laws of creation began to evolve, and the Nine Nether Divine Lotus also began to move.
A ray of spiritual light shot out from Jiale's sea of consciousness and fell directly into the Nine Nether Divine Lotus.
All previous lives are gone, only today is left, the past body is complete!
The Nine Nether Divine Lotus in the Divine Sea began to change, and gradually revealed its shape, transforming into a figure dressed in a dark robe.
He is somewhat similar to Jiale, but his temperament is completely different.
Darkness, killing, destruction, and devouring.
At this moment, the four ultimate laws of destruction were fully manifested on the black shadow, and the black shadow did not appear at this point. Instead, after taking shape, it continued to practice.
It seemed that Jiale's state of enlightenment was also continuing in Black Shadow. The four major laws of darkness, killing, destruction and devouring were constantly improving and were rapidly moving towards perfection.
And the black shadow's understanding was finally acquired by Jiale, who only then realized the power of fetal transformation.
Everything gained from cultivation in the past life will eventually be attributed to Jiale. It is like creating an extra cultivation helper for Jiale . The laws he has comprehended will also be gained by Jiale in the end. Having someone who is cultivating all the time, allowing you to share all the gains from cultivation, the only question is whether you are afraid or not.
However, Jiale's transformation into a fetus seems to be different, and Jiale's clone also seems to be different.
Past body!
This past body formed by Jiale's past spiritual light combined with the Nine Nether Divine Lotus seems to be more than just an incarnation . I heard that Buddhism also has the supernatural power of three bodies, but I don't know how it compares with Jiale's.
Didn't think much about it.
At this point, Jiale is only one step away from the Golden Immortal realm.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was no realm of Xuanxian. It was only in later generations that the spiritual energy declined, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not abundant, and the great Dao was difficult to comprehend. Therefore, in order to better practice, this realm was subdivided. In ancient times, this step was basically achieved in one go, and one could directly reach the Golden Immortal from the True Immortal.
Today's Jiale has some of the ancient style.
The Yin-Yang Law has been perfected. During the sudden enlightenment, the eight hundred laws are circulating, and those who have the least understanding have already reached more than 30%.
For example, the laws of the five elements, space, creation, darkness, etc. that I have been comprehending from the very beginning have now reached more than 70%. The field of laws has long been perfected with the perfection of the laws of yin and yang. The next step is to construct a world of laws, seek proof of the great way, and embark on the realm of seeking the truth.
Yin and Yang govern everything.
With the law of Yin and Yang as the core, the field of law began to change, and eight hundred laws filled it, constructing a new world.
One Yuan, Two Yi, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Combinations…
All things are born from life, yin and yang evolve, creation is infinite, and the new world of laws eventually turns into a world seed, falls into the divine sea of Jiale, takes root, and begins to sprout.
The eight hundred laws turned into nutrients, giving birth to this seed.
Let it germinate and bloom quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, a jade-colored flower bloomed. One, two, three...
It turns out that this is the process of the jade flower blooming when breaking through to the Golden Immortal.
In front of the Biyou Palace, a spiritual storm was howling. The disciples of the Biyou Palace who were preparing for the reopening of the palace were all shocked. Even the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and others could not sit still and hurried to the front of the Biyou Palace, their eyes falling on Jia Le.
Golden Immortal!
Jiale is about to break through to the Golden Immortal level!
He couldn't hide his shock in his heart. From the middle stage of Xuanxian, he went straight to Jinxian. And judging from the situation, Jiale's foundation was not weak at all. It was not impossible for his flower to bloom to the tenth level.
But this is only sixty years. Even with the blessing of the opportunity left by the Taoist Patriarch Shangqing, this is too far-fetched.
They didn't have such treatment in the beginning. Could it be that Jiale's qualifications are even more extraordinary than theirs, or is it that Jiale is really the son of heaven, blessed with all the secrets of heaven!
While I was surprised, I couldn't help but feel complicated.
Especially Bixiao, who was really conflicted and happy at this moment. She was happy about Yu Jiale's progress, and he was about to break through to the Golden Immortal so soon.
Yu Jiale is about to advance to the early stage of Golden Immortal, while she has just entered the middle stage of Golden Immortal. Fortunately, the previous battle allowed her to make a breakthrough, otherwise, she would have been so embarrassed this time. People call you great uncle, but your cultivation level is almost surpassed by others. How can you still have the nerve to respond to this great uncle?
But even now, the pressure is huge.
Jiale's progress was too fast. It only took this long for him to reach the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. How far was the middle stage of the Golden Immortal Realm? She wouldn't really be caught up, would she?
Ge Xuan felt both relieved and pressured.
Although Ge Xuan has extraordinary talent, he is only in the early stage of Golden Immortal at this time. He has been overtaken by his own disciples. He feels somewhat complicated. From now on, he probably won't be able to teach Jia Le anymore. He might even be left behind by Jia Le soon.
"Thanks to Master's blessing, I was able to find a disciple who could revive the Shangqing lineage. Junior Sister Wudang, you have found a great disciple."
The Golden Spirit Mother had a complicated look in her eyes. She also wanted such a good disciple.
Jiale is the first among the four generations of disciples to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. As time goes by, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is gradually dissipating, and the secrets of heaven are even more obscured. It will become increasingly difficult to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in the future. If you look closely, you will find that the people who broke through to the Golden Immortal realm recently were all from thousands of years ago, namely the Monkey King and Yang Jian, who were blessed with natural abilities.
None of the others could break through to the Golden Immortal level.
Jiale is the first one in this thousand years. Unlike the second-generation disciples who are all born with innate bodies, the third generation is still okay and has some chances. But after the fourth generation, the Golden Spirit Mother knows that it is unlikely that another Golden Immortal will appear. However, today, Jiale appeared in such a miraculous way.
If this isn’t Heaven’s will to revive the Shangqing lineage, then what is it?
At this time, when Jia Le's jade flower blossomed in the sea of consciousness, the phantom of the jade flower also appeared above his head.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother and others were able to see it, it opened, it opened.
First grade, second grade, third grade...
By the time the flower blossomed to the ninth level, the Shangqing disciples could no longer sit still. They had all witnessed Jiale's qualifications. In their view, the seventh level was just basic skills, but they were not sure about the next level and the next level. And now, Jiale's flower blossomed to the seventh level without any pause.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the eighth and ninth grades. Even at this time, there was no obstacle at all, and he directly entered the tenth grade.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother and others couldn't help but feel moved. It couldn't be possible to reach the twelfth level, right? With Jia Le's current situation, it was really possible. His foundation was too deep. The Golden Spirit Holy Mother discovered at this time that Jia Le's foundation was so deep that they couldn't see how deep it was until now.
The flower blossomed at twelve levels. Among the second-generation disciples of the entire Shangqing lineage, there were only a few who could be counted on the palm of one hand, and there were even fewer among the third-generation disciples. But now, Jia Le also had this ability.
"Junior brother, did you really teach me this?"
Wen Zhong was also feeling emotional at this time. He looked at Ge Xuan beside him and asked. They were from the same sect and were in the same heaven, both of them were in the second rank. They were natural allies. The two of them had a deep friendship. Now that he saw that Ge Xuan's disciples had reached this stage, Wen Zhong couldn't help but feel emotional.
Wen Zhong also had four great disciples, all of whom were accepted during the Conferred God Ceremony.
Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Ji Li, Yu Qing.
Among these four great disciples, Ji Li and Yu Qing were the attendant disciples accepted by Wen Zhong earlier. They were stronger but only in the middle stage of Xuanxian. Deng Zhong and Xin Huan were only in the early stage of Xuanxian. Because they were listed in the list due to calamity, their cultivation had not improved much. Now they have finally escaped the calamity, but they don’t know if they will have a chance to be promoted to Golden Immortal in the future.
Seeing that all the disciples accepted by Ge Xuan had reached this level, how could Wen Zhong not sigh?
Ge Xuan nodded subconsciously, thinking back to the time when he accepted Jia Le. Ge Xuan swore that even though he valued Jia Le very much at that time, he never thought that Jia Le could really break through to the Golden Immortal so quickly. This was no longer something that a genius could describe.
"Sister, this disciple has extraordinary luck. Perhaps the future of our Shangqing lineage really depends on him. Originally, he was only at the Xuanxian level. Even if he was extremely talented, he probably couldn't catch up with the big things. But today he was able to break through to the Jinxian level. He already has the strength to play chess."
An immortal beside the Holy Mother Wu Dang said with lowered eyebrows.
Wu Dang Shengmu had already accepted the fact that her disciple had broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm. She looked at her junior brother beside her and said, "Junior brother Ma, I have delayed Jingchun a bit. Perhaps I should have summoned him as soon as Ge Xuan mentioned him."
The golden hoop fairy horse is here!
That's right, the person who spoke just now was Ma Sui, the Golden Hoop Immortal, one of the Seven Immortals who attended Shangqing. Although their status was lower than that of the four great disciples, they were not inferior to Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao, and they were all the closest people to Shangqing Daoist Patriarch. It was a pity that after the battle in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, only the Golden Hoop Immortal was still free, and he left with the Holy Mother Wu Dang.
For so many years, he has been practicing with the Holy Mother Wu Dang in Mount Li and training disciples. His cultivation has reached the late Golden Immortal level and he is only one step away from the peak.
When he was in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he clamped Taoist Huanglong's head with just one move. Whether in terms of strength or magical powers, he was the best among the second-generation disciples of the Shangqing lineage.
"It's the eleventh level!"
After the flower blossomed to the tenth level, Jiale's improvement speed also slowed down, but although the speed was slow, there was no decline. Now, under the attention of everyone, his flower has blossomed to the eleventh level, and there is a trend of continuing to improve. The twelfth level seems to be really just around the corner.
Jia Le was unaware that his cultivation was being broadcast live throughout the process, and at this moment he was concentrating on improving his cultivation.
In fact, the momentum of sudden enlightenment had already disappeared at this time. The entire process of Jiale's breakthrough to the Golden Immortal was controlled by Jiale himself.
I have already comprehended twenty-four chapters of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra, and the method of breakthrough is all in my mind.
The world of laws constructed by the eight hundred laws has basically taken shape at this time, and the evolution of the eight hundred laws has made the entire world tend to be perfect. Laws can be derived, and the three thousand laws are just imaginary numbers. No one may know how many laws there are in the world, and how many laws there are in the new world of laws depends on how many are needed.
The eight hundred laws continued to evolve, making the world of laws complete. Now, there are more than three thousand laws in this entire world.
With the help of Kunlun Mirror, Jiale's breakthrough to the Golden Immortal was always in a mysterious state.
The jade flowers were in bloom and the inner demons were disturbing him, but at this moment, he turned a deaf ear to them and it had no effect on Jiale at all.
"Twelfth Grade!"
I don't know who shouted, but was glared at by the commander next to him and quickly shut up. This is the twelfth level of Huakai. If he disturbed her because of this shout, could he afford the compensation?
However, the excitement of the crowd could not be concealed, it really was like a flower in full bloom.
The jade flowers are crystal clear and are already emitting a refreshing fragrance.
When the jade flower blooms, opportunities are everywhere, and those who smell the fragrance will also be able to increase their understanding of the laws.
Those ordinary disciples, those with cultivation below the Golden Immortal level, were now hurriedly sniffing the fragrance of the jade flower and beginning to comprehend the foundation of a powerful force. In fact, this was the most important part, and was more direct than any resources, drugs, or secret realms.
boom!
After an unknown amount of time, the Jade Flower subsided, and Jiale's aura exploded, revealing his power as a Golden Immortal. Those with lower cultivation could not help but want to bow down to him. Fortunately, the Golden Spirit Mother waved her slender hand and blew away the aura emitted by Jiale. Otherwise, many people would not be able to face Jiale again in the future.
After all, many of them are Jiale’s elders.
Slowly gathering his aura and looking at the countless Shangqing disciples around him, Jiale was a little dumbfounded. Why was he still being watched?
Not daring to delay, he hurried to the side of the Golden Spirit Mother and others.
"Disciple Jingchun, I am sorry for delaying the progress of the teachers."
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the others also laughed when they heard this. "If there were more disciples like you, we would be happy to delay them for a while. Jing Chun, now you are the first of the four generations of disciples to break through to the Golden Immortal, and your flower has blossomed to the twelfth level, which is rare in the world. From today on, you are the fourth generation disciple of my Shangqing lineage, and you can manage all the disciples of the fourth generation and below."
Um!
Is this a promotion?
Jiale was a little confused, but this was definitely a good thing, as his status suddenly became much higher.
"I will follow the leader's orders."
After everyone left, Jiale realized that he had been practicing for sixty years. Looking at the Jin'ao Island and the Biyou Palace in front of him, they had been redecorated and looked even more majestic than before.
It seems that everything is almost ready.
After taking out the communication talisman, Jiale finally saw the message sent by Ao Tingxin.
"Jia Le, come with me to see your master."
At this moment, Ge Xuan's voice came, and Jiale hurried to catch up.
"You have really brought honor to our lineage this time. You are the first Golden Immortal in the fourth generation. Your cultivation is almost catching up with your master. Master has never met you formally. Please don't be disrespectful later."
Although he knew that Jiale was not the kind of person who would get carried away by success, Ge Xuan still couldn't help but remind him.
Jiale naturally knew what Ge Xuan meant.
In a large hall inside the Biyou Palace, Holy Mother Wu Dang was sitting cross-legged, comprehending something.
"Master, Jingchun is here."
"Come in."
A cold voice came. Jia Le had also heard Ge Xuan mention that the Holy Mother Wu Dang was a person of indifferent temperament. She was not very close to others. She was the kind of person who looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside. Apart from cultivation, she had little interest in other things. If it weren't for the disaster that the Shangqing lineage encountered, she would not have taken the initiative to carry the banner of the Shangqing lineage.
Now that the Golden Spirit Mother has appeared, it may really be a good thing for the Wu Dang Mother.
After entering the hall, Jiale took a look at the Holy Mother Wu Dang who was dressed in a plain robe and lowered his head.
"Disciple greets Master!"
"Disciple greets Grandmaster!"
The Holy Mother Wu Dang looked at Ge Xuan and Jia Le, "Stand up, I don't have too many rules here, just be casual. Jing Chun, I was planning to see you again during the sermon, but I didn't expect you to improve so quickly and now you have been promoted to the Golden Immortal, which surprised me a little. However, the road of cultivation is long, and the Golden Immortal has just embarked on the journey, so remember to be humble and not impatient."
Jiale naturally followed suit. Perhaps Jiale knew better than the Holy Mother Wu Dang how far the road ahead was.
"Disciple will follow the instruction."
Nodding, the Holy Mother Wu Dang asked Jiale if he had any questions in his practice. Jiale was naturally not polite. This was what happened when he practiced fast. Even though Jiale often had sudden realizations, he still had many questions on the road of practice. Now that his master was right in front of him and took the initiative to talk to him, Jiale was not polite and started asking questions all at once.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang was also very patient and answered all the questions one by one.
Another twenty years passed like this, and Jiale finally solved all the puzzles in his practice. Not only did his practice become more solid, but even his state of mind became more settled.
From this we can see the importance of teachers in spiritual practice. Building a high-level building and a forest can save countless people from going astray.
Ge Xuan also gained a lot of insights from this question and answer.
"This is the Three Souls Lamp, which was given to me by my master. It is no longer useful to me. You are now the fourth-generation disciple of my Shangqing lineage, so you should have a treasure that you can show off. I will give it to you."
As she spoke, the Holy Mother Wu Dang took out a lamp and pushed it towards Jia Le.
Three Soul Lanterns!
Jiale took the lamp directly and did not dare to refuse the gift from the elder. What's more, it was actually an innate magic weapon. Although it was only of low grade, it was still an innate magic weapon. He would not exchange it for a hundred magic treasures. It turned out that their Shangqing lineage was the most generous and could easily take out innate magic weapons.
"Thank you, Master, for the treasure!"
There was no rush to study it, but he expressed his gratitude directly. Ge Xuan felt a little envious when he saw it. This was an innate treasure, and his master had never given him even one. How could his master be so partial to him?
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
The Holy Mother Wu Dang was about to give her away, but Jia Le hurriedly said.
"Master, I have a friend in the East China Sea, the fourth princess of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. I gave her a token before, and she told me that the Dragon King of the East China Sea wants to meet you, Master. Would you like to meet him?"
Dragon King of the East Sea!
The Holy Mother Wu Dang pondered for a while. She was not an enthusiastic person and really didn't want to see anyone. But when she thought about it, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was the lord of the East China Sea, and when the Biyou Palace reopened in the future, he would be a close neighbor and they had come to her door, so there was no harm in meeting him, not to mention that it was Jia Le who said so.
"Okay, let's meet them. Just lead them to see me."
Jia Le didn't expect that Holy Mother Wu Dang would really agree. It seems that after being deified, Holy Mother Wu Dang really had to deal with a lot of human relationships.
After returning to the cave, Jiale sent a message to Ao Tingxin saying that he had agreed and asked him to bring the Dragon King of the East China Sea directly.
Then he began to study the Three Soul Lamp.
Every innate treasure represents one or more innate laws. The Three Soul Lamp is no exception, which contains the law of soul.
Innate magic weapons are engraved with treasure bans according to innate laws. One to twelve treasure bans are low-grade innate magic weapons, thirteen to twenty-four treasure bans are medium-grade innate magic weapons, twenty-five to thirty-six treasure bans are high-grade innate magic weapons, and thirty-seven to forty-eight treasure bans are top-grade innate magic weapons.
There are eight innate treasure bans in the Three Soul Lamp, which is not inferior among the lower-grade innate magic weapons.
If you feel it carefully, you will find that the Three Soul Lamp has three abilities.
The first is a passive ability that protects the owner's soul. If someone or magical power attacks the owner's soul, the Three Soul Lamp will spontaneously protect it.
Among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars, there is a magical power called Seven Arrows with a Nail on the Head.
This method is a curse technique. Make up like a bow and arrow, stick it on a straw man, and use it with the Seven Arrows Book. It can kill people in a foreign land. The victim has no ability to resist, and even the Great Luo Immortal cannot escape this disaster. Note: "This can be said to be weird and unpredictable."
This technique targets the soul. During the Conferred God Ceremony, a powerful being used this technique to take away Jiang Ziya's three souls and seven spirits. If it weren't for the Yuqing lineage who saw the opportunity quickly, the situation during the Conferred God Ceremony would have been very different.
The Three Soul Lamp has the ability to protect against such vicious secret techniques. Jia Le was very happy to see this function. It was like putting on a layer of armor for the soul.
The second is the ability to restrain souls. By offering up the Three Soul Lamps, one can restrain the souls of tens of thousands of living beings. Combined with the way of souls, one can even directly attack the enemy's soul and restrain it.
The third is the power of refining souls, which can refine the souls trapped in the lamp and transform them into pure soul energy to help nourish the owner's soul.
I have to say, this is really a treasure that Jiale can't stop wanting. Now, Jiale only has the Kunlun Mirror and the Precious Lotus Lantern that can surpass it. Among them, the Precious Lotus Lantern is still borrowed temporarily. The Three Soul Lantern will definitely become Jiale's trump card in the future. This master is really generous.
Thinking of Ge Xuan’s envious expression, it couldn’t be that even his own master didn’t have that.
He was even more proud in his heart. This was what it meant to have a grand disciple and forget about his own disciples. Sure enough, no matter where he went, he was the most favored.
Without further delay, he began to refine the Three Soul Lamp.
Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
Ao Tingxin was worried when she saw that Jiale hadn't replied to her letter. Could it be that Jiale had forgotten about her? It was possible. After all, as Ao Fan said, to Jiale, she was just a minor character.
bite!
Um!
Reply received!
Ao Ting's heart was lifted and he quickly took the message talisman in his hand.
"Just bring the Dragon King of the East Sea directly."
Promised!
Ao Tingxin was so surprised that he couldn't help but shout out loud. He didn't dare to delay and went straight to find the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"Father, father, the True Lord has agreed, let us go find him."
What!
The Dragon King of the East Sea was looking for Ao Fan and others to discuss matters. When he saw Ao Tingxin barging in, he was a little surprised at first, but when he heard what Ao Tingxin said, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"This is true!"
Ao Tingxin hurriedly handed the message talisman to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who immediately laughed.
"Okay, okay, hurry up, prepare the gifts, we'll go now."
