Chapter 178 The Great Dream, the Name of the Jade Emperor

Huashan has steep cliffs and a cave on the wall.

There is a stone chamber in the cave, and in the chamber there are a stone table, stone chairs and stone bed.

A person was lying in it, his body glowing, like a human-shaped sun.

After a long time, Liang Yue woke up.

There was no change on his handsome face, and the sunlight on his face slowly faded.

The Yin God is unexpectedly compatible with the Sun, Moon and Heaven.

The lifespans of the sun, moon and celestial beings are long, so perhaps there will be no problem with lifespan in this life.

This is the experience Liang Yue gained.

This may not be true, but the lifespan of the Sun and Moon celestial beings is at least much longer than that of ordinary people, and living beyond 120 years is no problem.

If you learn a few more methods, your lifespan can easily reach 180 years in this life.

Liang Yue conjured up a jade tripod and began refining elixirs in the alchemy room.

The main types of elixirs currently taken are yang-dominant and yin-dominant.

The next period of time will be focused on recovering your state of mind.

At the end of the Human Immortal Era, warriors' power had reached the peak of humanity, and there were some things that had to be guarded against, to avoid an accident in this small ravine.

Two years later, it was the fourth year of Kaiping in the Liang Dynasty (910).

This year, Liang Yue was eighteen years old.

At the foot of Huashan Mountain.

One day, a middle-aged Taoist priest came to the foot of the mountain.

"Huashan is extremely steep, and this place is suitable for seclusion."

After saying this, the middle-aged Taoist counted with his fingers.

"It's a good omen, a good sign."

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked delighted, as he had never heard of such a sign in his life.

Good luck and no disaster, this sign is the ultimate blessing.

After saying this, the middle-aged Taoist figure flashed and disappeared into the mountains and forests. His figure seemed illusory and blended perfectly with the surrounding environment. At first glance, he was a Taoist master with superb internal skills.

At the top of the mountain, the middle-aged Taoist found a cool place.

"Not bad, not bad, the old Taoist is going to sleep."

The Taoist fell into a deep sleep, breathing long and deep, each inhalation and exhalation lasting at least one stick of incense.

As he breathed, his body surface flashed with soft white light.

The Taoist's name is Chen Tuan, a Taoist from Bozhou and the successor of Yuan Tiangang's Feng Shui school.

He has been sleepy since childhood, sometimes not waking up for three days. No matter how loud the thunder and lightning hit him, he could not be awakened. His life was deeply troubled.

Later, he was taught the art of inner cultivation by a wandering Taoist priest, so he was able to control his awakening freely.

Chen Tuan had a unique skill of practicing martial arts in a dream. Because white light shone from his body while he was practicing, people thought he was a god. He was deeply troubled and moved many times before finally coming to Mount Hua.

Huashan is steep and difficult for ordinary people to come here, making it a rare place for secluded retreat and spiritual practice.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Chen Tuan opened his eyes and found a young man standing beside him.

He wore white clothes and a black cap, and had a handsome appearance.

Surprisingly, this person has a golden Dharma eye between his eyebrows.

The Dharma eye sees through the reality and falsehood of all things, and everything about oneself is revealed without a doubt.

When Chen Tuan saw the Dharma Eye, he was shocked. Could it be that he had met a fairy?

He forced himself to calm down, stood up, bowed, and said, "I am Chen Tuan, may I ask the name of the immortal master?"

"You can just call me Lingbao..." Liang Yue put away his three eyes, and the divine light between his eyebrows slowly disappeared, "You have a good talent."

This person must have similar talents, which is why he has such miraculous abilities.

Perhaps the era of earthly immortals is the era of supernatural powers. Warriors and Taoists will not cultivate immortality, but due to some coincidence, mysterious supernatural powers will be born.

The principle is similar to that of the birth of exotic flowers and plants. The spiritual energy is revived, and due to various coincidences, innate superpowers are born.

"Master Lingbao? Are you the Jade Emperor, the lord of Baiyun Imperial Township?" Chen Tuan was shocked.

Doesn’t the Jade Emperor live high up in the White Jade Capital, in the Taixu fairyland with its twelve jade towers?

Chen Tuan still couldn't quite believe that the legendary Lord of Baiyun Imperial Township actually appeared before him.

But the divine vision just now was not fake. Apart from gods, who else has such ability?
"Jade Emperor? I am Lingbao. Jade Emperor... should be a title given by mortals. Call me whatever you want." Liang Yue was stunned. Is this a title given to himself by mortals?

Before this, during the Tang Dynasty, he had never heard of the belief in the Jade Emperor.

Perhaps it is because of a poem by Li Bai that this title was passed down to the world.

In ancient times, only the innate gods had a unified god. The human race generally had human leaders such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

There will be abdication among leaders, and there will not be a supreme leader who will remain unchanged for eternity.

Therefore, the title of Jade Emperor has only appeared in recent years, and there will be no cause and effect in calling him that, as he has many names anyway.

Chen Tuan came back to his senses, bowed solemnly, and said:
"Disciples of the Imperial Observatory lineage pay homage to the Grandmaster!"

In terms of seniority, Yuan Tiangang is Chen Tuan's great-grandmaster, and his great-grandmaster was one of Yuan Tiangang's disciples.

This lineage did not receive any succession from the head of the Imperial Observatory, and its main focus was to retreat from the world and practice asceticism.

"No gift."

Liang Yue had already seen through it, so he showed up on his own initiative.

Next, Liang Yue understood the world situation.

Chen Tuan couldn't help but ask: "Grandmaster, is there really a way to achieve immortality in this world?"

"Yes, you will know it when you have completed your merits in the future."

Liang Yue wouldn't reveal too much.

The two of them came into the stone chamber, made tea and chatted.

The purple clay teapot floats in the air, with real fire suspended underneath and tea leaves boiling in the water.

Chen Tuan frequently looked at this magical scene.

"Fuyao, do you understand your own special abilities?" Liang Yue asked. Fuyaozi is Chen Tuan's name.

Chen Tuan smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "I have never understood it. I am just practicing ignorantly. I hope the master can give me some guidance."

The ability to possess power in dreams is really unsafe. Even if you have a vague perception of the outside world, you won’t be able to react if you encounter an expert.

"it is good."

The method of tortoise breathing, the magical power of sleep and dream, and even the blood of the sun, moon and heaven, may be integrated to form a new magical power of sleep and dream, practice in dreams, and reduce the loss.

From then on, Liang Yue taught Chen Tuan how to practice internal skills while also studying his body.

Inside the stone chamber.

The eternal lamp emitted a golden flame, illuminating the dark room.

Liang Yue sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, taking long breaths, his body emitting a jade-like luster.

This is not a practice of full concentration.

But a dream.

While sleeping, the true Qi automatically circulates throughout the body.

Motionless, like a corpse.

Three months later.

When Liang Yue woke up, his shoulders were covered with a light dust.

"This skill is called the Great Dream Divine Skill, which is similar to the ancients' method of long-term cultivation in seclusion."

Time may pass a lot faster in the future, and combined with the blood of heaven and man, it can help slow down the passage of life.

This is the difference between monks and mortals. Monks have many tens or twenty years to waste.

After the essence of life changes, the concept of time will also change.

Whoosh!
Liang Yue jumped out of the cave.

Chen Tuan, who was sleeping under the tree, woke up.

"Fuyao, the technique is complete."

This technique may not extend Chen Tuan's life, but at least it will keep his body in peak condition and allow him to control his sleep freely.

Chen Tuan took over the skills.

"Walk."

"Where did the ancestor go?"

"Wander around."

The two figures were covered in golden light and gradually became smaller and farther away.

The road down the mountain.

Chen Tuan looked at the mysterious ancestor with curiosity from time to time.

This historical figure appears again at this moment.

Could it be that a god came down to earth to experience tribulation?
Chen Tuan didn't understand.

The two of them traveled across mountains, rivers, and oceans.

the following year.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, Liang Yue hangs the sword of Heaven on his waist and watches the waves of the Yangtze River.

Chen Tuan stood behind Liang Yue. After practicing the Great Dream Divine Art for a period of time, he seemed to look a lot younger.

"Fuyao, you can go now."

"Where?"

Chen Tuan was stunned. He wanted to travel around the world with his master and learn more.

"You have your own path."

Following himself is just repeating the path of his predecessors. Liang Yue hopes that Chen Tuan can have his own understanding, which may be useful in the future even if it is not useful now.

After leaving behind a few words, Liang Yue soared into the air and disappeared in a streak of golden light.

Only the confused Chen Tuan was left.

Chen Tuan's gaze gradually became firm, and he began his new journey.

Liang Yue rode on a white cloud and traveled around the world.

Sometimes sleeping, sometimes waking.

This land is too familiar to him.

The mountains and rivers have never changed, what has changed are the people, with the same inner heart, the same joys and sorrows.

"From now on, learn to be a fairy."

In the Dharma Ending Age, no one teaches him how to cultivate his mind, so Liang Yue can only explore step by step and gain insights through personal experience.

The thoughts and behaviors of the nobles and common people among ordinary people are very different, not to mention an immortal like Liang Yue who has transcended fame and fortune.

"In the future world, I may become the real Jade Emperor."

Ever since Chen Tuan appeared, Liang Yue gradually began to understand.

The world not only offers sensory pleasures, but also the interest in studying the great principles and building for the future.

Man lives for a lifetime, just as plants and trees live for only a few autumns. It is not just about surviving in troubled times.

Study the infinite Taoism, absorb human talents, accumulate wealth, and when the era of spiritual energy revive comes, the human race will have enough talent reserves.

The Lingbao sect's growth did not happen overnight.

But in the distant future.

Liang Yue is ten feet tall, with a gorgeous magic pattern between his eyebrows.

High above, with eyes of the law, he travels through the world. His heart only pays attention to what he wants to see.

There is no sadness or joy, no sorrow or resentment in daily life.

His mind was as calm as a peaceful well, a mortal was transforming into a god.

Flowers bloom and fall, the sun rises and sets.

As warlords continued to fight each other, the Mingjiao sect from the Western Regions began to become popular in the northwest region. This sect originated from Persia and worshiped the sacred fire and the god of fire.

Central Plains, Luoyang.

People's livelihood is in decline, and the common people are pale and thin.

Warlords fought wars year after year, men were conscripted, women were violated, and occasionally served as military rations.

This is an era of moral decline and the collapse of rituals and music.

Faith is confused and people are uncertain.

On this day, a strange legend was circulating among the people.

"There are 108 gods and demons in the heavens and earth. The day they descend upon the world will be the day of peace."
