Chapter 136 The Old Way Of The East China Sea, Bai Yujing, The Female Bodhisattva, And The Dragon Gi
Chapter 136: East Sea Old Dao, Baiyu Jing, Female Bodhisattva, Dragon Girl Reappears!
East Sea.
To the east of Xuan Domain, passing through Dao Domain or Luan Domain, one can enter the East Sea.
From the mainland of Shenzhou, going east for 180 million miles, deep in the East Sea, there is a land called Penglai, known as the Penglai Immortal Island.
Penglai Immortal Island is enormous, with an area of nearly 30 million square miles, inhabited by countless human beings, numbering in the trillions.
There are also countless cultivators on the Immortal Island, with numerous sects and families, collectively forming a vast cultivation world.
In the center of Penglai Immortal Island, there is a divine mountain towering into the sky, reaching tens of thousands of zhang in height, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.
This mountain is called Penglai, the divine mountain in the center of Penglai Immortal Island.
On top of Penglai Immortal Mountain, there is a sect also called "Penglai," known as the Penglai Immortal Sect. It is said that in ancient times, immortals emerged from this sect, shaking the entire Shenzhou for 800 years. The sect has been passed down for millions of years.
The Penglai Immortal Sect is the largest power on Penglai Immortal Island and the sect that all living beings on the island aspire to join. There is a saying in the mortal world: "Joining the Penglai Immortal Sect will lead to enlightenment and immortality."
At this moment, on top of the floating Immortal Mountain in the Penglai Immortal Sect.
There is an old Dao sitting on a cliff, facing the direction of the mainland of Shenzhou, observing the vast East Sea. Although he is free from worldly dust, there is a sense of vicissitude in his aura, as if he has been sitting here for thousands of years.
Beside him, there is a dilapidated water jar, only three feet in diameter, with a mud loach inside, almost motionless, lifeless, as if it had long died.
If one observes carefully, they will notice that this mud loach only moves once in a long while, as if even a slight movement requires great effort and consumes a long time.
This mud loach is colorful, resembling a dragon, and is actually a rare and precious seven-colored dragon loach, worth much more than a thousand-year divine medicine.
At a certain moment, the old Dao's eyelids twitched, and then he opened his eyes. In an instant, the turbulent sea area of millions of miles calmed down, becoming calm and peaceful.
"A thousand years in a dream, what year is it tonight?"
The old Dao sighed and looked at the dilapidated water jar. He reached out and wiped it, and scenes appeared one after another.
Those were magnificent mountains and rivers, bustling imperial dynasties, and vibrant immortal realms. Finally, the picture froze on a continuous mountain range.
The mountain range stretches like a dragon, majestic and revealing a vast aura of Soul Formation, as if no one has noticed this scene.
The main peak of this mountain range has been cut off, revealing the hidden aura of this ten-thousand-mile dragon map.
The old Dao pinched his fingers and after a long time, he said, "The time is almost right. If this matter succeeds, the dragon will transform into a dragon, and it will happen soon."
As if talking to himself, yet also as if speaking to someone.
The whiskers of the seven-colored dragon loach in the dilapidated water jar moved.
The old Dao reached out and wiped it, and the images disappeared. He sat back down, still facing Shenzhou, as if he wanted to continue observing the sea.
"Dragons can be large or small, they can rise or hide; when they are large, they soar in the universe, and when they are small, they hide and conceal their form; when they rise, they fly between the cosmos, and when they hide, they lurk within the waves. Now, in the deep spring, the dragon takes advantage of the changing times."
With these words, the old Dao closed his eyes again.
Dao Domain.
This can be said to be the best domain for cultivation in the Qianzhou region, relatively peaceful and harmonious, with fewer conflicts, and more discussions on the mysteries of cultivation among cultivators.
In Qianzhou, there is a widely circulated poem: "In the sky, there is the White Jade Capital, with twelve towers and five cities. Immortals caress my head, and we pledge our hair to receive eternal life."
The White Jade Capital, twelve towers, five cities, and immortal beings mentioned in the poem all originate from Dao Domain.
The Dao Domain consists of eight major forces, with Baiyujing as the leader, being the ancestral land of the Daoist sect. The other forces, Tian Di Ren, Tai Xuan, Long Hu, True Martial, and Chunyang, all originated from Baiyujing and each cultivate their own lineage.
Baiyujing is a city in the sky, hanging high in the nine heavens, invisible, untraceable, and unfathomable.
The Five Cities and Twelve Towers are on the ground, forming the Five Elements and Twelve Branches, serving as the eyes of the Daoist sect's grand formation, collectively supporting Baiyujing and concealing it.
The Twelve Towers are distributed among the Five Cities, towering into the clouds, rumored to have a direct connection to Baiyujing, with the ability to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth.
Legend has it that in ancient times, a Celestial Immortal resided in Baiyujing, descending from the nine heavens to bless a mortal and bestow upon them the path to immortality, before returning to Baiyujing.
Five thousand years later, another Celestial Immortal emerged from Baiyujing, surpassing the limits of swordsmanship and poetry, earning the title of "Poetic Sword Immortal," leaving behind countless legends in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province.
However, just like the Penglai Immortal Sect, although Baiyujing is the ancestral land of the Daoist sect, its glory has faded, and the city in the sky has not appeared for tens of thousands of years.
But its profound heritage is unmatched in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province, or even beyond.
At this moment, inside the Chunfeng Tower, two Daoists are in conversation. One is elegant and easy-going, exuding a refreshing aura, like a piece of unpolished jade returning to its true nature. The other has an ordinary appearance, but every move and gesture reveals a sharpness, like a unsheathed immortal sword.
These two individuals are the Second and Third Elders of Baiyujing, respectively.
"The Dragon Pearl of the Dragon Saint has appeared, and the demon clan dares to reach out. Should I take my sword and go to the demon realm?" The ordinary-looking Third Elder speaks with a fierce and decisive tone.
"No need, it's just an early-stage Demon King. The forces in Xuan Domain will handle it." The Second Elder shakes his head, speaking in a gentle tone, feeling somewhat helpless towards the Third Elder.
This junior of his has always loved fighting and killing, which is completely contrary to the tranquility and peace of the Daoist sect. He doesn't know why their Master accepted him as a disciple in the first place.
But this junior's talent is indeed exceptional, and his combat power is astonishing, claiming to have never been defeated in three thousand years.
"You, when will you cultivate your heart? When will you break through that threshold of the Dao?" The Second Elder's tone is heavy, having great expectations for this junior.
The Third Elder remains silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but he doesn't bring up the matter of going to the demon realm with his sword again.
The Second Elder walks to the window, hands behind his back, looking towards the west with a worried expression. "The current demon and barbarian tribes are not worth fearing. What we need to consider is the pressure from the west."
"Those bald donkeys!" The Third Elder's tone suddenly changes upon hearing this, seemingly disdainful.
The Second Elder continues, "Over the past ten thousand years, the Buddhist sect has become increasingly prosperous. Now, they want to spread their influence to the east, and they have been secretly planning for it."
"Although the Sword Domain and Demon Domain can block the spread of the Buddhist sect to the east, the Xuan Domain cannot. The Buddhist sect has long established the Kuroyuri Temple in the Xuan Domain and even extended their reach to the Great Qian Dynasty. Although it was severed, the current Great Qian is in great danger, and the Buddhist sect will surely take advantage of the situation."
"We need to prepare early, otherwise, there will be a trend of the decline of the Dao and the rise of Buddhism. When our Master blames us, it won't be easy to explain."
"Hmph~" The Third Elder coldly snorts, his hand caressing the immortal sword at his waist, showing no concern.
"I want to see if those bald donkeys have bodies as tough as gold, or if my immortal sword is sharp enough."
The Second Elder is speechless. It seems that he has been talking to a wall all this time.
The Buddhist Domain is vast, known as the Land of a Million Buddhas, filled with monks and practitioners, both immortal and mortal.
In the far west, there is a mountain that reaches the heavens, constantly resounding with thunderous sounds, known as Mount Xumi. On top of it stands the Great Thunderous Monastery.
Mount Xumi is the ancestral land of the Buddhist sect, and the Great Thunderous Monastery is in charge of the Buddhist sect, also known as the Monastery of a Million Buddhas.
On Mount Xumi, a Bodhisattva is sitting in the air, giving sermons and teaching profound Buddhist principles.
Around her, the Arhats, Vajras, and Dharma Protectors were all focused on listening to the teachings, each in different postures, with solemn expressions and varying levels of comprehension.
After the sermon ended, many monks dispersed, leaving only the Bodhisattva and a Vajra behind.
"Vajra of Camel Mountain, go to Daqian and assist Vajra of Emptiness and Prosperity in retrieving the Dragon Pearl of the Jiao Holy Dragon," said the Bodhisattva.
"Yes," the Vajra replied.
With hands clasped together, the Vajra respectfully agreed and immediately set off.
"The transmission of Buddhism from the West to the East is an unstoppable trend. The Daoist Sword and other traditions cannot stop it," the Bodhisattva said with a smile, speaking softly to herself.
Ten thousand years ago, Buddhism was supposed to spread to the East, but it encountered three battles and could only join forces with other traditions to resist the invasion of demons and barbarians.
In the three battles, all sides suffered heavy losses, with their vitality greatly damaged. Buddhism was no exception, and the momentum of spreading to the East was forcibly interrupted.
But now, Buddhism has risen again and returned to its peak. Without the interference of demons and barbarians, the transmission to the East is inevitable, and no one can stop it.
Daqian, Yuanzhou.
Above the nine heavens, the Dragon Maiden traveled with the wind, stepping on a colorful auspicious cloud.
After leaving the capital of Daqian, she first went to a certain place, retrieved something, and then set off for Leizhou.
She did not fly at an extremely fast speed, but rather leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way, with her spiritual awareness covering a large area.
"Oh, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this small Yuanzhou."
Passing by Yongchang Prefecture, her spiritual awareness swept over Chengsheng Mountain and saw three figures standing on Chengdao Peak, which surprised her.
The great formation of Chengsheng Mountain could not stop her spiritual awareness, and she easily saw everything inside. She was not interested in anything else, only the two women and one man caught her attention.
The man was handsome and at the peak of the Empty Void Realm, while the two women were both in the later stage of the Soul Refining Realm, with exquisite beauty that was not inferior to her own.
The three of them stood there, as if they were a perfect match.
These three people seemed young, indicating that their aptitude was not low, at least a fourth-grade aptitude.
Yuanzhou did not have ten major sects rooted in it, and there was not even a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster on the surface. However, within this sect, there were three geniuses with the potential to reach the Myriad Manifestations Realm, which was truly rare.
However, the Dragon Maiden was only slightly interested and did not look much. Her spiritual awareness quickly swept to other places.
If these three people were all in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, she would bestow them with opportunities and accept them as her disciples to serve her. But now they were not qualified.
In the later stage of the Soul Refining Realm and at the peak of the Empty Void Realm, they were considered good in the Great Qian Dynasty, but the Dragon Maiden's standards were extremely high.
In her previous life, she was the Dragon Saint of the Holy Abyss Realm, with unparalleled strength that shook the Eight Hundred Divine Continents. Countless True Martial Realm and Divine Origin Realm experts fought to become her disciples, but she didn't even bother to look at them.
After passing by Yongchang Prefecture, the Dragon Maiden quickly arrived at Xuanshi Prefecture. Her spiritual awareness also discovered the woman in the purple dress and the woman in the yellow dress in the city.
A faint smile appeared on the Dragon Maiden's face. She didn't disturb the two of them enjoying their peaceful lives and headed straight for Leizhou.
Compared to the previous three individuals, the aptitude of the woman in the purple dress and the woman in the yellow dress was even lower. Back then, she had helped them escape from the capital of Daqian, but it was only because they were barely considered the same race.
The Dragon Maiden flew over Yuanzhou, thinking that she had hidden herself well and that no one could detect her.
After all, she was a True Martial Realm Martial King, and Yuanzhou didn't even have a Myriad Manifestations Realm. Who could detect her if she wanted to hide?
But someone happened to notice.
Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.
Han Li was embracing two extraordinary beauties, feeling like he had reached the pinnacle of life. In his arms were two rare and stunning women, each one a peerless beauty in the world.
But now, he not only had two of them, but both had also become his shape. One had given birth to his child, while the other was already pregnant with his child.
Han Li was about to say something to Lu Tianxiang and Jiang Baiye when his brows suddenly furrowed. He sensed a powerful aura approaching from outside Yuancheng, without any deliberate concealment, as if it felt that no one could detect its presence.
It turned out to be a True Martial Realm Martial King!
Han Li immediately gathered his spiritual awareness, rapidly weakening his own aura, leaving only the peak of the Empty Void Realm. He also concealed Lu Tianxiang, preventing the passing Martial King from discovering that her cultivation had been sealed.
Soon, the True Martial Realm Martial King passed through Yongchang Prefecture and headed towards Leizhou.
Han Li could clearly feel a tremendously powerful spiritual awareness sweeping over them, lingering for a moment before departing, without detecting anything unusual.
After the passing True Martial Realm Martial King left Yuancheng, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was truly dangerous just now.
This True Martial Realm Martial King's strength might not necessarily be stronger than his, but her spiritual awareness was indeed much stronger than Han Li's. Her realm was definitely not just the first level of the True Martial Realm.
"Why would a True Martial Realm Martial King suddenly appear in the Great Qian Dynasty?" Han Li muttered to himself in his mind, pondering in secret.
According to his understanding, the Great Qian Dynasty had at most two True Martial Realm Martial Kings, including the Martial King Wu'an, who possessed True Martial Realm strength.
In the past, Han Li had always thought that the Great Qian Dynasty did not have True Martial Realm Martial Kings. It was only when his cultivation level became higher and he had access to a higher level of information that he discovered it was not the case.
The Great Qian Dynasty had always hidden a True Martial Realm Martial King, who was said to have lived for thousands of years, with profound and unfathomable cultivation, making other forces that coveted the Great Qian Dynasty quite wary.
Wu'an, the Martial King, was still in Huozhou. Could it be that the hidden True Martial Realm Martial King of the Great Qian Dynasty had made a move?
No, Han Li had just caught a glimpse and found that the True Martial Realm Martial King seemed to be a woman, not quite like the hidden True Martial Realm ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"It's really a troublesome autumn. Fortunately, I shifted my strategy quickly," Han Li thought to himself.
Regardless of the identity of the passing True Martial Realm Martial King, it was highly likely that she was heading towards Leizhou. Han Li didn't know what incredible opportunity awaited in Leizhou that attracted the attention of these two powerful figures.
Wu'an, the Martial King, had been waiting in Huozhou for a long time and had never set foot in Leizhou. It was too obvious that he was trying to cover up his intentions. Han Li had long guessed that his purpose was Leizhou, which was one of the reasons he moved from Leizhou.
If Wu'an had been waiting for so many years, then the opportunity in Leizhou must be extremely significant. There might even be other True Martial Realm experts coming to compete for it. When the time came, a True Martial Realm battle might erupt in Leizhou, and no matter how he tried to hide, he would easily be affected.
Now it seemed that his decision was wise. With the mysterious True Martial Realm Martial King rushing over, it indicated that the opportunity Wu'an had been waiting for was about to appear.
Han Li even felt that there might be multiple True Martial Realm experts intervening. The top forces like the Yin Yang Sect, the Withered Prosperity Temple, and the Great Jing Dynasty had probably received the news long ago and were unlikely to just watch Wu'an obtain the great opportunity.
"Should I take advantage of the chaos?" Han Li suddenly had this thought.
He had quite a few True Martial Realm puppets that he hadn't used yet, so the plan of taking advantage of the chaos was feasible.
But after thinking about it, Han Li gave up. He didn't know what use that opportunity had, so there was no need to take risks.
He could just stay honestly in Chengsheng Mountain. In a while, when the number of his descendants reached eight hundred, his cultivation would be able to advance to the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm in one fell swoop.
By then, his strength would also increase, so why bother competing for a treasure opportunity at great risk?
Did Han Li, the Old Ancestor Han, need to engage in fighting and killing?
PS: Second update, there are still two chapters today, please vote for monthly tickets, please vote for monthly tickets, please vote for monthly tickets.
This chapter was really difficult to write. Although there were many settings, writing the details consumed a lot of brain cells. I spent more than two hours on it, sigh.
