Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 47 Three Hundred Years Later
The throne of Heaven changes, and the new emperor takes the throne. He also appoints eighteen new emperors, taking over all the forces in the three realms.
It seems that the Heavenly Court today has truly unified the three realms except for Buddhism and the devil.
Everything that happened afterwards was done according to plan. Jiale handed everything over to the three members of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. He could get the benefits, but don't count on him to do the work.
In the Peach Garden.
Jiale felt refreshed immediately when he saw the garden full of peaches. With the good fortune of Heaven upon him and the Peach Garden in his hands, this was the real benefit. Fame, wealth and power were of no use to him. They were just tools to enhance his strength. If he just wanted to control the three realms, Jiale would not bother to take over Heaven.
The Golden Spirit Mother wanted to use this opportunity to help Yunxiao break through to the Golden Immortal level and increase her chances, and Jiale naturally cooperated with her.
Each of the peaches that ripen once every three thousand years is a true immortal-level energy bead.
The peaches ripen once every six thousand years, and each one is a Xuanxian-level energy bead.
The peaches ripen once every nine thousand years, and each one is a golden immortal-level energy bead.
At this time, in the Peach Garden, there were tens of thousands of peaches that ripen once every three thousand years, and the entire garden was filled with them.
Further in, there are thousands of peaches that ripen once every six thousand years.
It is obvious that the Queen Mother had a secret in holding the Peach Banquet for so many years. With so many peaches, she only gave one peach to each fairy.
Entering deep into the Peach Garden, there are purple-veined peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years. There are only nine such peach trees, and hanging ninety-nine peaches and eighty-one golden fairy-level energy beads. It seems that Jiuyou's butcher knife can take a break for a while, because in order to collect energy beads for Jiale, he has been killing batches of demons and monsters recently.
In the center surrounded by nine peach trees, Jiale felt the spatial fluctuations and stepped into it.
It turned out to be a strange space, with a peach tree standing in it.
Abundant spiritual energy came towards me, and it turned out to be the mother peach tree.
In fact, all the peach trees in the entire Peach Garden are just differentiated from the mother peach tree. The real peach tree is the Guishui Peach Tree in front of you.
At this time, there were only two peaches hanging on the tree, but the energy of these two peaches was at the peak level of Golden Immortal.
It really is worthy of being the mother tree of the peach tree, and its reputation is well-deserved.
Without any hesitation, he picked them all. For Jiale, there was no point in keeping the peaches. Only the energy beads were eternal.
The energy beads in Kunlun quickly filled up.
Two peak-level Golden Immortal energy beads, eighty-one Golden Immortal energy beads, thousands of Mysterious Immortal energy beads, and tens of thousands of True Immortal energy beads. It was a huge wave of wealth, so much so that Jiale couldn't help but want to go to Wuzhuang Temple to take a look.
After leaving Pantao Garden, Jiale went to the treasure house of Heaven. After taking control of Heaven, Jiale felt something in his heart and directly found the location of the treasure house.
Looking at the dazzling array of spiritual materials, spiritual herbs, magic weapons, skills, etc., almost countless treasures in front of him, Jiale couldn't help but sigh again that the Heavenly Court has a profound foundation. Even the Shangqing lineage is probably not much stronger than the Heavenly Court.
However, in such a huge treasure trove, there was not much that Jiale could take a fancy to.
He picked out some spiritual materials that could be used to refine innate magic weapons, some spiritual herbs that could be used to refine elixirs, and took a look at those exercises, and gained quite a lot.
As for the magic weapon, there was only one that Jiale was interested in.
Jiale looked at the fiery red gourd in his hand. It was a space gourd with nothing in it. It was not the flying knife that Jiale had imagined. However, after seeing the fiery red gourd, Jiale had an idea. Jiale had always wanted to refine a gourd of ten thousand crows to collect a group of fire crows. When needed, he would release them directly, and the crows would devour souls and true fire would fill the sky.
Now the gourd is ready-made, and it is a mid-grade innate magic weapon, which is absolutely perfect.
Jin Hong has already broken through to the peak of Xuanxian, and is only one step away from breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. With his aptitude, breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm is not a problem at all, and Yuhua must be above the ninth rank.
The Fire Crow clan has good bloodlines, and they have been arranged to live on the Sun Star by Jiale during this period, so their strength has soared.
The number of Xuanxian has increased to thirty-six, and the number of Zhenxian has reached nearly a thousand.
Xiao Qi and the others have also reached the peak of True Immortal at this time. Now that Jia Le occupies the Heavenly Palace and has countless resources at his hands, if he is trained well, breaking through to the Profound Immortal is a foregone conclusion.
Before Jia Le left this world, he was even able to train them to the peak of Xuanxian, or even Golden Immortal.
The number of the Fire Crows has also exceeded 100,000. If they are all put into the Ten Thousand Crows Gourd, just imagine that when fighting, it is clearly a one-on-one duel, but suddenly 100,000 Fire Crows are released. Isn't that scene shocking?
Just thinking about it made Jiale already excited.
These are just two of the benefits. Jiale now discovered the benefits of being the leader of a big force. No, it is the benefits of directly reaping the benefits of a big force. The process of discovering and harvesting treasures is so pleasant.
Not only is she the Lord of Heaven, but the Golden Spirit Mother has also given up her position as the leader of the Shangqing Sect to Jiale.
There are still many treasures on Jin'ao Island waiting for Jiale to discover.
Qiaojiazhuang, Xiniuhezhou.
Jiuyou looked at the young man in front of him with a smile in his eyes, but Qiao Ling'er opposite was not so happy.
Since the monkey did not cooperate, his plan collapsed immediately. After waiting for a hundred years, he had already broken through to the Golden Immortal level and regained his memory, but he still did not see the revival of Buddhism. What made Qiao Linger even more distressed was that the first person he saw when he had just recovered his true spirit was Jiuyou.
"How do you know I'm here?"
Qiao Linger is the reincarnation of Tathagata, but he can't understand how Jiuyouzhi found him. He had obviously made full preparations. He believed that no one in the Three Realms should be able to find him, except the monkey who was also arranged by him.
But now the monkey did not enter the game as he planned, so how did Jiuyou find him?
Jiuyou smiled when he heard this.
"I knew this from the first day of your reincarnation. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many variables in allowing you to break through to the peak of the Golden Immortal, I would have wanted to wait until you recovered to the peak of the Golden Immortal before reaping you."
Harvest!
Tathagata's face darkened. What did this mean? It turned out that Jiuyou was waiting for him to break through to the Golden Immortal level.
Although Tathagata did not know about Jiuyou's collection of energy beads, he felt greatly insulted when he heard it. If you want to kill someone, then kill him. But it is wrong for you to destroy his heart.
In fact, it is not only Tathagata, but also other Buddhist Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc.
These Buddhist disciples have been able to practice until today because they have made some preparations. They have prepared some means of recovery after their death. After consuming their foundation, they can quickly recover their cultivation. Just like Tathagata, he has recovered to the level of Golden Immortal after a hundred years of practice.
Jiale needs energy beads, so what could be easier than this?
Tathagata is just the beginning; Guanyin, Maitreya, Bhaisajyaguru and so on will not be spared.
This is equivalent to cleaning the Small Leiyin Temple after cleaning the Big Leiyin Temple. Jiale was able to make a breakthrough all the way, and Buddhism definitely made a great contribution. Not to mention, Jiale is now somewhat grateful to Buddhism.
At this time, Tathagata, who had just broken through to the Golden Immortal, was naturally no match for Jiuyou. Jiuyou even sent Tathagata to nirvana with just a glance. It was just unknown whether Tathagata had the foundation to start over again. Jiuyou naturally hoped that he did. Sustainable development is the real development.
Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
During the three hundred years, Jiale sat in the Heaven Palace, reciting the manuals of skills accumulated by the Heaven Palace and the Shangqing lineage every day, comprehending the great principles of heaven and earth, practicing to improve his cultivation, and even practicing a variety of supernatural powers.
Thirty-six changes of Tiangang.
This martial art that Jiale had previously practiced in the Shangqing lineage originally only had the Golden Crow Transformation technique, after all, the essence and blood of the divine beast were rare.
But after obtaining the foundation of Heaven and Shangqing, things were completely different.
As for the dragon clan's blood essence, although we cannot get the blood essence of the ancestor dragon, the second generation one is still okay. As for the phoenix clan's blood essence, except for the phoenix ancestor, what other better blood essence is there than the second generation blood essence of the Peacock King and the Golden-winged Roc? The Qilin clan's blood essence is easier to get. Compared to the dragon clan and the phoenix clan, the Qilin clan is much more decadent. Jia Le doesn't need to say much, his blood essence is right in front of him.
There was also the kind-hearted Patriarch Kunpeng. Jia Le only asked to borrow a drop of his essence and blood, and the Patriarch Kunpeng gave it to him with a constipated look on his face. There were also other mythical beasts, and so on. Jia Le had collected a total of twenty-four of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang. Now he has mastered twenty-four of them. The remaining twelve are rare in this world, but this is enough.
The Seventy-two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends were even easier to collect, and Jiale collected them all right away.
Then there are the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends. Although the inheritance , the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends do exist.
To clear the mountains, drive away the gods, carry the water, borrow the wind, spread the fog, and pray for clear weather and rain
Sitting on fire, entering water, blocking the sun, controlling the wind, boiling stones, spitting out flames, swallowing knives, pots, and heaven
Ask the immortal to chase the soul, capture the soul, summon the cloud, take the moon, move, marry the dream
Sending a staff to stop the flow and ward off disasters and relieve misfortunes, yellow and white swordsmanship, shooting the earth
The stars are arranged in a fake shape, spraying and transforming, and the corpse is transformed and the scene is moved.
Drive away the beasts, regulate the bird spirit, restrain the power, penetrate the stone, generate light and block the eyes
Guided intake, opening the wall, jumping over the rocks, climbing the mountain, drinking water, lying on the snow
Sun-blasted pills, talismans, water, medicine, knowing the time and the place, fasting, nightmare prayer
Among the 72 Earthly Fiends, Jiale has already learned and mastered the art of communicating with the dead. The others are also easy to learn. After all, Jiale's current level of cultivation is there. Compared with the 36 Heavenly Star Techniques, the 72 Earthly Fiends are much simpler. However, the learning of the 72 Earthly Fiends has made Jiale, this immortal, more versatile.
He knew everything about controlling the clouds and rain, gathering beasts and birds, etc.
The Ten Thousand Crows Gourd has also been successfully refined. The middle-grade innate magic weapon, the Ten Thousand Crows Gourd, now houses hundreds of thousands of Fire Crows. Led by Xiao Qi and the seven Golden Crows, their strength has reached the peak of Xuanxian. Jin Hong, the patriarch of the Fire Crows, has finally broken through to the early stage of Golden Immortal under Jia Le's training.
When the Ten Thousand Crows Gourd was taken out, the Ten Thousand Crows Formation was set up, and with the help of the power of the sun, even a peak Golden Immortal could be defeated.
After three hundred years of practice, with the support of a large number of energy beads, Jiale had perfected the eight hundred laws he had comprehended before. Later, with the help of the Shangqing lineage and the foundation of the Heavenly Court, he comprehended thousands of laws. Although it was only his first step, constructing a world of laws still allowed Jiale's strength to reach a new level.
As for the realm of cultivation, Jia Le is now only one step away from the peak of the Golden Immortal.
For the past three hundred years, Jiale had basically not been involved in the affairs of Heaven. They were all handled by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and others, and handled by the Shangqing disciples. It was inevitable that they were somewhat biased. They were definitely acting in the interests of the Shangqing lineage. This was always inevitable, and Jiale was happy to do so. He was the head of the Shangqing lineage, and he would not be biased towards his own people, so who else could he favor?
He will leave this world sooner or later, and he doesn't want to stay in this world for long, so of course he will do whatever he can to be good to the Shangqing lineage.
Three hundred years later, the Golden Spirit Mother actually believed that Jia Le was not obsessed with power. After all, although Jia Le was the master of Heaven, he had never stopped the Golden Spirit Mother's suggestions and actions. Thanks to the Golden Spirit Mother's efforts, there are now basically no forces outside of Heaven in the Three Realms except for the Demonic Path.
His luck was completely condensed in him, and he was not far from breaking through to the sky.
"Emperor, Buddhism is now in name only. The only thing missing from the Three Realms that has not been returned to Heaven is the Demonic Path. With Heaven's current strength, it is more than enough to take down the Demonic Path. Once the Demonic Path is taken down, the luck will condense, and Junior Sister Yunxiao will break through. The chances will definitely increase greatly, and we can send out troops."
Sure enough, when the Golden Spirit Mother appeared again, she set her sights on the evildoer.
As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Fellow Daoist, you are being a bit unfair. I took the initiative to send you the Immortal Execution Formation Map, and you even said that you owed me a favor. But now, you are turning your back on me and even want to destroy my Demonic Path. How unfair."
Um!
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit looked at Jiuyou who suddenly appeared. After not seeing him for three hundred years, the aura on Jiuyou became even stronger, which even made the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit feel a sense of crisis. She stepped in front of Jiale, obviously afraid that Jiuyou would do something bad to Jiale.
"Humph, human feelings are human feelings, and the general trend is the general trend. The Heaven Court has unified the three realms, and your demonic path is the only exception. Isn't this going against the general trend? Now I am just going with the flow."
Jiuyou smiled when he heard that and bowed to Jiale.
"Jiuyou pays homage to the Emperor."
this!
When Holy Mother Jin Ling saw Jiuyou's respectful appearance, her expression immediately changed. What was going on?
"Grandmaster, the Nine Nether Demon Lord has already decided to join our Heavenly Court. He will be one of our own from now on, so there is no need to bother clearing him out anymore."
What!
Join the fight!
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother was completely shocked. One has to know that the power of the demons is very strong, and cannot be compared with the Taiqing and Yuqing lineages. What happened now? They actually surrendered directly. This was too unbelievable.
Jiuyou looked at the appearance of the Golden Spirit Mother and shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist, you are obsessed with appearances. Didn't you say that it is the general trend for Heaven to unify the three realms? Naturally, my demonic sect will follow the trend."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother spat. This was like lying to a child. She looked at Jia Le suspiciously. She doubted whether there was something fishy going on. However, today, three hundred years later, she was becoming more and more unable to see through Jia Le. If Jiuyou could still give her a sense of crisis, she was completely unable to sense Jia Le's depth.
In this situation, the Golden Spirit Mother really didn't know whether she should believe it or not. What if it was Jiuyou who tricked Jiale?
"Master, don't worry, Jiuyou is trustworthy."
And Jiuyou was also using his actions to show how trustworthy he was, he actually swore directly that the evil path would return to heaven and that fortune would flow eastward. At this moment, the fortune of heaven and earth completely returned to him. At this moment, all three realms were shocked. After all, who could have thought that things would happen so suddenly? This was the evil path.
For three hundred years, all the gods and immortals in the Three Realms had been looking forward to the plot of the Buddhist counterattack, but in the end, they saw nothing. They saw that the traces of Buddhism were gradually wiped out, and there was no longer any ripples. How could they not know at this time that they had underestimated the strength of the demons? They concluded that the only opponent of the Heavenly Court in the future must be the demons.
Those who are interested are even looking forward to the day when the war between the devil and heaven breaks out.
But after all this waiting, the evildoers suddenly surrendered to the Heavenly Court and took off their pants, only to see this. It really made everyone in the world heartbroken.
After the shock, everyone was filled with disappointment. After all, although the evil path was evil, it was also the hope of many people. Now, all hopes were shattered.
Fortunes have returned to their normal state, and there is no longer any hidden conspiracy. All the benefits have been taken, who would play this game like this?
Three Immortals Island.
Yunxiao has already adjusted her aura to the best at this time. She was already in the late Golden Immortal stage during the catastrophe, and now it has been more than tens of millions of years since she stagnated. She has already improved her foundation to the deepest level. Now with the full support of the Shangqing lineage and Jiale, the Lord of Heaven, she is equipped to the teeth.
If Yunxiao had no confidence at all before, he should have at least 30% hope now.
Three points of hope may not seem like much, but he is definitely the person in this world who has the greatest hope of completing a breakthrough to the Golden Immortal level. Of course, Jia Le is not among them.
"Senior sister, Jingchun, I'm about to start."
Although she was about to officially break through, Yunxiao's expression remained calm, as if she was not the one who was about to break through.
However, seeing Yunxiao's appearance, Jin Ling Shengmu and others felt relieved. This kind of state of mind is what a breakthrough should be like, and it must succeed.
Everyone was looking at Yunxiao nervously, not only the disciples of the Shangqing lineage, but also the immortals and gods of the three realms.
After the Three Pure Ones, no one has been able to reach the realm above the Golden Immortal. Yunxiao's breakthrough now is not just a personal breakthrough, but is also paving the way for all sentient beings in the Three Realms. If Yunxiao can break through, they can also break through, but the difficulty is there, and they need to work hard. But it's always better to have hope than nothing.
Yunxiao disappeared at Sanxian Island, and when he reappeared he was already outside the Nine Heavens.
Above the Golden Immortal realm is the Taiyi Golden Immortal, which condenses the Taiyi Dao Fruit.
The Golden Immortal seeks the Tao, the Taiyi realizes the Tao, and breaking through the threshold of the Taiyi Golden Immortal means comprehending a little bit of the Tao. The greatest difficulty facing Yunxiao is the door to the Tao. If he can't even enter the door to the Tao, how can he realize the Tao? All the preparations Yunxiao has made are for him to step into that door.
Now the time has finally come.
In a flash, the three flowers gathered at the top of the head. For Yunxiao, breaking through the peak of the Golden Immortal was just a matter of a thought. The next step was the most difficult. All his foundation was condensed, and the Hunyuan Golden Bowl turned, spreading out a thousand-foot-long river, sweeping towards the gate of the avenue. At this moment, Jiale's mind moved, and he sent the luck of heaven to Yunxiao.
Jiale is the master of heaven, and he has been able to use this luck freely for a long time. Now he is just lending it to Yunxiao temporarily, and there is no problem at all.
However, when the luck surged and Yunxiao officially formed an impact on the Gate of the Avenue, the whole world changed color, and a vertical eye appeared in the sky. Endless pressure descended, as if just being looked at would make one feel dead. And the target of this vertical eye was not others like them, but Yunxiao who was breaking through.
However, all this seemed to have been expected by Yunxiao. Without any pause, the laws he comprehended were like a drill. He began to use this as a starting point to pry open the door to the avenue.
squeak!
Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of a door opening. Yunxiao showed no sadness or joy on his face, he just tried harder.
boom!
The punishment from heaven is thunder.
A bolt of lightning descended, its power actually surpassed the limit of Golden Immortal, making Jiale look solemn. With such power, even he was not sure he could withstand it. It was obvious that Heaven was serious, and whoever was called would be angry.
When a cultivator practices cultivation, he is stealing from heaven, stealing spiritual energy, stealing laws, and stealing the great way.
But stealing is okay, but robbing is wrong. Yunxiao's behavior now is obviously robbery, and it is robbery in the open, robbing directly in front of the law enforcer. How much do you look down on others? A thunderbolt is already merciful enough.
As thunder filled his body, Yunxiao's figure became weak and it seemed that he would be completely destroyed in the next moment.
"Big sister! "
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao both shouted loudly at the same time, and Jia Le and others were silent at this time.
The great way must be achieved, otherwise one will die. The practice of a cultivator is difficult at every step, and one should be prepared to die in the pursuit of the truth. Yunxiao is now merely following the path that most cultivators must take.
squeak!
The gate of the avenue actually moved at this moment, and a ray of light seemed to be released from the gate.
"Chaos is limitless!"
Yunxiao shouted loudly, and his whole body turned into a golden light and rushed towards the open door.
Naturally, heaven would not allow this. Another bolt of thunder struck, and this time it was significantly more powerful. Jiale felt a chill all over his body just by watching. If this bolt of thunder struck him, he would be completely destroyed.
And this is not just for Jiale himself. If he is really struck by lightning, under the law of heaven, Jiuyou will not be spared. They are of the same root, but not all life and death can be replaced by clones.
Can Yunxiao withstand this thunder?
Of course that was impossible. The speed of thunder was very fast. It had already fallen before Yunxiao was about to enter the Gate of the Avenue. If nothing unexpected happened, this breakthrough would have ended with Yunxiao's death.
Everyone's heart tensed up involuntarily. Even the immortal gods who disliked the Shangqing lineage, did not want the Shangqing lineage to be well, and did not want the Shangqing lineage to become too powerful, could not help but shout "Come on!" at this moment. Yunxiao was paving the way for the Three Realms. They did not want Yunxiao to break through, but they hoped that this road would be open. No one wanted to be bound for a lifetime.
Especially Master Xuandu, Guangchengzi and others, they have hope in their hearts. If Yunxiao breaks through, the world will change, which will bring them hope!
Yunxiao felt the power of thunder, but his heart was at peace.
Is it true that human power cannot defeat destiny? Looking at the gate of the avenue that was so close, Yunxiao knew that even if it was only one step away, it would still be a chasm for her at this moment.
"Goodbye, fellow disciples! Goodbye, Jingchun!"
With this thought in mind, Yunxiao took the initiative to leap towards the thunder, determined to die in the pursuit of the Tao, with no regrets in death.
However, just as Yunxiao made a move, a green light suddenly appeared on his body. The green light appeared with a power beyond that of a Golden Immortal and was not half weaker than Lei Fa at all. The green light rushed straight towards Lei Fa. Yunxiao's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he felt a little nostalgic.
“Master!”
Yunxiao murmured softly but did not stop. He continued to exert all his strength to rush towards the gate of the avenue.
