Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 839: Chapter 327: Second Rank Expandable Opportunity (Double Chapter)

Mount Shu under calamity, the news of an underworld uprising in the mortal realm, they have also heard about it, just not aware of the details yet.

"The turmoil of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands gradually returning to the world, although presently there is no news of the underworld appearing in the Great Ming, it is hard to say in the future," Shang Nan said.

Xue Xingzi: "Gather more information, let’s report back to the Emperor for a decision.

We shouldn’t delay too long either. Being absent in the Great Ming for an extended period, the rationalism gentlemen in the Imperial Court might grow suspicious, as well as the sect leader of your sect."

Shang Nan: "Indeed."

.........

After leaving Mount Shu, the form of "Chen Donglou" disappeared.

Under the cover of the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat, Lei Jun reappeared in his true form.

"It’s a pity, Huang Xuanpu never showed up."

Lei Jun slightly shook his head: "Logically, there should not have been any alarming disturbance, so does it mean he never came? Is he not in the Great Tang Mortal Realm, or is he in seclusion, avoiding worldly matters?"

Tang Xiaotang’s voice came through the Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman: "All our efforts have been in vain!"

The tone of a certain Celestial Master sounded quite displeased: "I feel like diving into the underworld myself!"

She was currently right on Mount Shu.

And appeared publicly.

Representing the Celestial Master Mansion in aid of the Mount Shu Sect.

Also present there was the Pure Yang Palace Elder Lü Jinduan.

However, the Mount Shu Sect resolved to use the North Abyss Divine Spear to seal the entrance to the underworld.

Hence, for the time being, Zhang Taigang and others were the victims, trying to appease the agitated Celestial Master Tang who was eager to let off steam.

"Objectives must be achieved one at a time."

Lei Jun: "We should first focus on finding Huang Xuanpu."

Xu Yuanzhen’s cool voice came through another Heaven’s Sight Earth’s Hearing Talisman: "How much benefit did we get from dealing with Fu Dongsen?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Lei Jun: "It’s still uncertain whether we can definitely find Huang Xuanpu, let’s discuss it together a bit later.

However, we already have some confidence in finding the Taiyi Innate Tower, but they are just vague clues that need time to be precisely deduced."

Xu Yuanzhen: "I’ll continue looking for Huang Xuanpu and discuss once I return later."

Lei Jun: "By the way, Senior Sister, you’ve been to many places, regarding the two unfamiliar Taoists mentioned by Elder Zhang Dongyuan of Mount Shu, what do you think?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "In the Ming Realm."

Lei Jun: "Oh?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "According to your account of what Zhang Dongyuan saw and heard, the one who is also a descendant of Mount Shu can be set aside for now.

The other one who follows the Alchemy Cauldron Sect of cultivation is very much like a descendant of the True Martial Taoist Temple in the Ming Mortal Realm."

According to Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun learned that in the Great Ming Mortal Realm, the Daoist Talismans lineage was sparse and no longer influential.

However, both the Taoist Alchemy Cauldron Sect and Refinement Sect had lineages.

The Refinement Sect was still Mount Shu.

But the Dan Ding Sect’s Pure Yang Palace had already vanished, with the current leader reportedly descended from the Black Tortoise lineage of the Pure Yang Palace, known as True Martial Taoist Temple.

Of course, Neo-Confucianism remained dominant in the Great Ming Mortal Realm.

It is worth mentioning, it was said that the True Martial Taoist Temple was more influential than the Great Ming Shu Mountain Sect.

Currently, it is only known they come seeking the Ziwei Sword, thus it is hard to judge whether they align with Huang Xuanpu and Fu Dongsen.

The Purple Azure Twin Swords, after all, are the founding treasures of the Mount Shu Sect, and are equally significant for both Great Tang Shu Mountain and the Great Ming Shu Mountain.

Unfamiliar with the area, it is understandable that they are cautious in making contact easily.

However, it’s also hard to tell, further observation is needed.

When friends come, there’s fine wine.

When jackals come, then...

Tang Xiaotang’s thoughts come and go quickly, having thrown the Netherworld concerns behind and instead caring about another aspect, she said smilingly:

"Lei Jun, I’ve heard people from Mount Shu say that you brought a great deal of honor to their Elder Chen this time."

"If he were still in the world, perhaps it would be so." Lei Jun: "Since that’s the case, it’s my duty to fulfill, not acting in vain invested under his name."

Tang Xiaotang, leisurely fascinated: "It’s quite intriguing, similar to some stories you’ve told me, hmm, I’ve decided, I also want to craft such a fake identity!"

Lei Jun: "..."

Xu Yuanzhen casually commented: "Think twice before acting, you better find that disciple you’ve been concerned about first."

Tang Xiaotang immediately retorted: "I’d like to if only there were a suitable match for my taste."

Lei Jun shook his head with a smile.

Ending the conversation with Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, he returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion’s own mountain gate, without alerting anyone.

As if Elder Lei had been resting quietly on the mountain all along, never leaving.

After greeting Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun quietly entered his own Altar of Wanfa Sect.

Inside the altar, he sat cross-legged, silently gazing at the floating Heavenly Palace Chapter Tablet and other treasures before him, feeling the profound essence of Tao circling around him.

Then gradually coalescing onto the newly obtained Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue before him.

Pair of precious jade, gleaming with bifurcated brilliance.

The heavens and the earth, at this moment, seemed wholly connected, ascending from below straight into the Nine Heavens and Star River.

Lei Jun’s expression was tranquil, a clear understanding in his heart:

Only one last thing is missing.

The Netherworld rising to the bluestone sky.

Bluestone dropping directly to the Netherworld.

The intertwining of various principles becoming natural by transitioning from grand to subtle.

"According to the divination, this step seems reliant on a First Grade Opportunity? I have yet to encounter a First Grade Opportunity."

Lei Jun serenely: "Though I don’t know its whereabouts."

To gain is my fortune, to lose is my fate, to follow the heavens, and to move with fate.

He was not in a hurry, for now, slowly warming and nurturing the Nine Springs Ascending Spirit Jue.

At the same time, he took out the Talisman Decree he obtained from Fu Dongsen, carefully pondering and studying it.
