Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 909: Chapter 341: Celestial Master, Lei Jun (Part 2)

Besides rewarding the achievements of the Celestial Master Mansion, this move will have a more profound impact and significance on the Great Tang’s current situation.

Regarding the matter of just making up the numbers and basking in reflected glory, Yuan Mobai didn’t mind. Instead, his gaze became more lively and he jokingly looked at his disciple.

Lei Jun blinked his eyes.

For this trip, Chu Yu and Zhang Mu had come earlier to discuss and coordinate with the Celestial Master Mansion regarding the titles of the four Masters. The Tang Court had already drafted several versions, primarily differing in the case of Tang Xiaotang.

In the Mount Longhu lineage, aside from personal titles, there is actually a long-standing title passed down for all the Masters, known as the Three Caves Three Heavens Master Dragon Tiger Master.

However, it was mainly passed down in the early years, and later generations rarely speak it aloud.

During the Great Tang Dynasty, if conferring the title of Guardian Law Master to the Celestial Master Mansion, there was a precedent set before.

For instance, Li Zhiyuan’s title is Heaven-connecting Yuchi Guarding Law Master.

According to the current calculation, Tang Xiaotang is the Celestial Master, and her title should naturally be "Connecting Heaven".

But she is about to hand over the position to Lei Jun, and it’s not a posthumous conferment.

Therefore, the Tang Court needs to understand Tang Xiaotang’s own thoughts in advance.

Before becoming the Celestial Master, one’s mind is set on the position of Celestial Master.

But now, as she is about to hand over the position, she is indifferent to these things.

"Heaven Cleansing Demon Guarding Master, Shenxiao Demon Cleansing Guarding Master..."

Tang Xiaotang thought for a moment: "I prefer the latter."

Chu Yu laughed: "There is time still, no rush to decide."

Tang Xiaotang waved her hand: "No need, the latter one will do."

Zhang Mu nodded: "In that case, I will report to His Majesty, and this matter will be completely settled after the Celestial Master’s succession ceremony, officially announced to the world."

Profound Heaven Extensive Mystery Guarding Master, Xu Yuanzhen.

Shenxiao Demon Cleansing Guarding Master, Tang Xiaotang.

Doumu Harmonizing Light Guarding Law Master, Yuan Mobai.

And...the soon-to-be Celestial Master, Heaven-connecting Primordial Guarding Law Master, Lei Jun.

"Recently, is the rumor about the State Preceptor true or false?" The still-serving Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang was more interested in another matter.

Chu Yu and Xun’an Prince Zhang Mu both nodded, honestly saying: "There is indeed such a thing, but it’s not yet settled."

Tang Xiaotang was curious: "Since the establishment of the Great Tang, there has never been a case like this, right?"

Chu Yu: "Indeed, so there are many discussions in the court at present... many are against it."

"Oh..." The Celestial Master thought, her eyes swirling.

Chu Yu understood her quite well, smiling slightly: "His Majesty mentioned this matter, and his word is golden. Based on merits and virtues, naturally, the first choice now is the Taoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain, but whether this will come to fruition depends solely on His Majesty’s intention."

Celestial Master Tang coughed: "No worries, no rush."

The titles were settled, and Chu Yu and Zhang Mu then reported to the court.

The specific conferring will wait until after the New Year during the succession ceremony at Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion.

However, before then, the Tang Court has already delivered substantial rewards regarding Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion’s effort in suppressing the chaos of the Human Path Country and Inner Mount Shu Heretical Cultivators. Chu Yu and Zhang Mu have already brought them to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Compared to the hard-working Xumi Vajra Division, the achievements here at Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion are undoubtedly solid.

The Tang Court is generous with rewards, bringing a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures along with Chu Yu and Zhang Mu to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The most eye-catching among these treasures for the cultivators in the Celestial Master Mansion is the three Taiyu Stones.

Rumored to originate from before the creation of heaven and earth, containing abundant spiritual power and spatial mystery.

For cultivators of the Talisman Sect, it is an invaluable and rare treasure.

The cultivation path from the Seventh Heavenly Layer to the Eighth Heavenly Layer involves the effort to develop one’s own Divine Court Inner Scene Universe.

In the Eighth Heavenly Layer realm, the internal universe is constantly perfected, resonating with the external world universe, transforming into reality and affecting the outer world.

The wonder of expansion in this void is absolutely crucial.

And this Taiyu Stone can play a significant role in it.

For cultivators like Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai, who are in the Eighth Heavenly Layer Third Level Outer Scenery Realm of Divine Court, the study and integration of the Taiyu Stone will help them advance to the Eighth Heavenly Layer Fourth Level Divine Court Superior Vista faster than expected.

The reward treasures from the Tang Court are truly appealing to the cultivators of the Talisman Sect.

"A treasure like this is difficult even for the Tang Court to find." Lei Jun pondered.

The surge of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi in the Mortal World aids the cultivation of cultivators, simultaneously nurturing all things and allowing some long-lost heavenly materials and earthly treasures to reappear.

But among these, the Taiyu Stone is evidently not included.

This kind of spiritual object must have existed before the creation of a prehistoric world.

"Not bad. Zhang Wantong is not someone who only talks with empty words, he means business."

Xu Yuanzhen casually picked up a Taiyu Stone, toyed with it briefly, then put it away: "I’ll take one that I can use."

Lei Jun looked at Yuan Mobai.

Yuan Mobai shook his head with a smile: "Although it’s useful for my current cultivation, it’s not good to be overly greedy in cultivation. The Vermilion Spirit Barren Bone you brought back, Chongyun, is enough for me to study at present."

Tang Xiaotang’s focus wasn’t on the Taiyu Stone.

She looked around at everyone, smiling and said: "Grand Tang National Master, sounds nice."

Xu Yuanzhen: "The art of emperors and kings lies in the balance and fluctuations between the Taoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect, but the monks in Sumi seem quite interested in this, don’t they?"

Lei Jun: "Judging from their usual behavior and demands, it seems reasonable."

Xu Yuanzhen: "I’m interested in this matter, but not in that position."

Wang Guiyuan sighed lightly: "For anyone, it’s like cooking oil on fire, a target amidst all."

He looked at Tang Xiaotang: "Sect Leader, this Grand Tang National Master... means State-protecting Mage, not the mentor of the Dynasty, Du Shi."
