Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 799 Bestowing the Name 'Five Sacred Mountains'

According to the description of Lianshan Zhenjun, the Five Elements Sect was once framed by a certain force, but tens of thousands of years have passed, and the truth has long been buried in the past.

Ji An openly stated that he inherited the legacy of the Five Elements Sect without incurring hostility, because the people who did the work back then were long gone and would not have left any relevant information.

Zhenyue Zhenjun and his wife looked at each other in disbelief. The Five Elements Sect ruins had been searched countless times by many Nascent Soul sects, yet their core inheritance had never been discovered.

Later, this ruin was gradually forgotten, and after the outbreak of the True Demon Calamity, the ruin collapsed completely.

I thought the glory of the Five Elements Sect would gradually fade away with the dust of time, but unexpectedly it took root and sprouted in the Western Continent.

Hua Yin Zhenjun breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought there was an ambiguous connection between Jinling Sect and Qingqiu, but now it seemed he had been overthinking it.

She cupped her hands in a smile and said:
"Fellow Daoist is truly a person of great fortune. The Five Elements Sect was once the leading super sect in the Central Continent. The fact that its heritage has been preserved is a blessing for the entire cultivation world."

The Taixu Sect contains some of the Five Elements Sect's cultivation techniques. Although they can only be cultivated up to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, they have had a profound influence on the sect's techniques.

As the group approached, Ji An smiled and nodded, "It was just a fluke. Let me introduce you. This is our sect leader, True Person Chongxiao."

Although Lin Jiuxiao's cultivation level was relatively low, he was the nominal face of the sect, so he came out to greet the guest to show sufficient respect and to perform the proper etiquette.

After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, Zhenyue Zhenjun made a hand seal to put away the Cloud-Piercing Flying Boat and had his accompanying disciples pay their respects.

As the group entered the protective mountain formation, Zhenyue Zhenjun was secretly alarmed when they approached Crimson Flame Peak. The spiritual vein here had reached the fourth rank, while in the sect, the highest-ranking spiritual vein in the Western Continent was only the middle-grade third rank.

'What exactly happened all these years? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xuanqing not only obtained the Five Elements Sect's inheritance back then, but also received a large amount of resources?'

After much thought, he felt that his guess was correct. As long as he had enough resources, it would be relatively easy to upgrade the spiritual vein to the fourth-grade low level.

The difficulty increases significantly for a fourth-tier low-grade spiritual vein to advance further. The higher the grade of a spiritual vein, the more difficult it becomes. Currently, there is not a single spiritual vein in the entire Eastern Continent that has broken through to the fifth tier.

Master Huayin pointed to the enormous vortex of spiritual energy and exclaimed in admiration:
"Is your sect's guardian spirit beast breaking through to a higher level?"

In her mind, this was the only possibility; only a spirit beast raised by the sect for many years could possess such a foundation.

Ji An smiled modestly, "This is my tamed beast, the Five-Colored Deer, not a guardian spirit beast of the mountain."

Master Huayin's eyes widened slightly. "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

She felt a thousand horses galloping through her heart, 'Such luck! Are you the illegitimate son of the Dao Ancestor?!'

Even if a True Monarch with the Nascent Soul level of beast taming has a relatively low cultivation level, their words still carry great weight.

In the Southern Continent, there was a Netherworld True Lord who refined a Taiyin Moon Corpse, which was no match for True Lords of the same rank.

Zhenyue Zhenjun scratched his head. He felt that he was more shocked today than in the past hundred years. He looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and felt the spreading fire element aura. He realized that he was not dreaming.

Ji An laughed heartily, "Whether Beast Taming can break through is still undecided. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you these next few days. Fellow Daoists, please follow me."

He led everyone to Yunyin Mountain near Yunhe Mountain. It was just a small node, but the spiritual veins there reached the fourth-grade lower level.

The new Yingxian Pavilion was built here with the intention of receiving Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but we never expected it to be used today.

After arranging accommodations for everyone, Ji An smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, I am concerned about the situation at Crimson Flame Peak. I apologize for the poor hospitality. I will come back to apologize in a few days."

Zhenyue Zhenjun waved his hand and said jokingly:
"Fellow Daoist, please leave. If I were to break through to the Transformation Realm with my Beast Taming, I would not come out to see guests at all."

"Thank you for your understanding, Haoran. Please take care of our distinguished guest."

Li Haoran nodded, "Yes, sir."

Ji An nodded slightly and led his fellow disciples away on a cloud.

In the attic, Li Haoran saw that Huayin Zhenjun looked sleepy, and smiled as he stood up and said:
"Having flown all the way here, I presume you need to meditate and recuperate. I will take my leave now and return tomorrow to speak with you."

"I am indeed a bit tired. See you tomorrow."

After Li Haoran had left, True Lord Huayin waved away several disciples and sighed helplessly:

"We made so many preparations, but it all came to nothing."

The Taixu Sect has prepared a cultivation method that can be cultivated to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, a Nascent Soul Formation Pill, and five pills for early-Nascent Soul cultivators.

All of this is like a dream, now it's useless.

Having received the complete inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, the Golden Spirit Sect will surely be able to cultivate its techniques to the late Nascent Soul stage, and will no longer need their 'charity'.

Zhenyue Zhenjun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"We also prepared a sword cultivation technique for Li Haoran, which took a lot of time and effort, and it can be traded away."

Li Haoran doesn't have any sword cultivation techniques yet, so I'll sell him halfway and give him away. I can repay most of the favors I owed him in the past.

Huayin Zhenjun nodded and said with a wry smile:

"That's the only way. By the way, what do you think about the two fox demons we encountered today?"

"There's no point in us guessing here. We should ask in person. If things are fair and aboveboard, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing will naturally tell us the truth."

Zhenyue Zhenjun added in his mind, 'If there's a problem, they'll say something deceptive, and then we'll need to investigate further.'

He changed the subject and continued:
"The Five-Colored Deer is a rare and wondrous beast of heaven and earth, with a noble bloodline. This breakthrough will inevitably be fraught with twists and turns, but the ending should be perfect."

The Golden Spirit Sect, under the cover of the True Demon Tribulation, has quietly become a Nascent Soul sect. I wonder what the other True Monarchs' expressions will be when they find out.

He sighed inwardly. In the eyes of many sects, the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, the far north, and even the islands of the East China Sea were all resource production areas.

Because the Western Continent has never had any forces at the Nascent Soul level, the cultivators, though not saying it aloud, all harbor a deep-seated sense of superiority.

Now that this sense of superiority is gradually fading, many people will likely experience a sense of loss.

Fortunately, after the Central Continent suffers from the demonic calamity, many unclaimed spiritual veins will appear, allowing all parties to cultivate vassal forces and leech off these vassals.

A port city on the eastern coast of the western continent.

In the heart of the city, a solemn and majestic temple stands, its bells ringing melodiously, accompanied by the sounds of wooden fish drums and chanting.

The main hall enshrines Buddha and Bodhisattvas, all with solemn and dignified appearances.

The monks sat cross-legged on their prayer mats, their energy merging into a unified whole, forming the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation.

These monks actually possessed the Reincarnation Realm, equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of cultivators.

At the very center stood a gaunt old monk, his eyes piercingly bright, like two blazing flames.
"Esteemed monks, the great calamity brought immense suffering to all living beings, but now that the calamity has ended, the demonic pollution of the continent has been purified."

However, since the people of the Eastern Continent do not practice Buddhism and do not respect the World-Honored One, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the calamities.

Cultivators, fearing the power of the World-Honored One, have forbidden the propagation of Buddhism. Esteemed Sangha Kings, we will break free of these shackles, allowing the Buddha's glory to dispel the darkness of the Eastern Continent, and enabling all living beings to hear the Buddha's compassion.

The monks and nuns all spoke up and expressed their opinions.

“What the Dharma King said is very true. Tens of thousands of years ago, cultivators severed their connection with us, causing the light of wisdom to be obscured. This is truly a tragedy for the beings of the Eastern Continent.”

Now that the calamity of evil has passed, we vow to the Buddha to save countless sentient beings from suffering, and to let believers bask in the Buddha's divine light.

"This journey eastward is across vast oceans. We must learn from the lessons of last time and send enough Samsara Realm monk kings to establish a firm foothold."

"It is suggested that all major temples send one Sangha King and several Dharma Protectors to jointly build a treasure ship, carry thousands of believers across the vast sea, and reach the Eastern Continent to spread Buddhism."

Crossing the seas by air is far too difficult, but with the blessing of the precious ships consecrated by these venerable monks, we will surely be able to brave the winds and waves. The gaunt old monk nodded, his left hand making a gesture of offering a flower.
“Very well, this old monk has obtained the decree of the Buddha's Light, and all the Sangha Kings may leave their Dharma names.”

With everyone working together, great things can be accomplished!

A few days later, as a bolt of purple divine lightning struck, the accumulated tribulation clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the full moon in the sky.

At the same time, a full moon appeared in the sky above Crimson Flame Peak.

Ji An felt the stone tortoise had returned to his side, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Lin Lan was the first to shout:

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining another great demon in human form. The Five-Colored Deer is a rare and auspicious beast of heaven and earth, and its successful transformation is of extraordinary significance."

Han Shan and Wei Baiyang both said in unison:

"Congratulations, Master."

"Congratulations, True Lord!"

Congratulations were heard everywhere, and Ji An couldn't stop smiling. "Congratulations to you too!"

"Sect Leader, you may now inform the disciples to return to their caves."

Lin Jiuxiao stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Haha, without the sect's notification, the disciples know they can go back as soon as they see the twin moons in the sky."

After talking with everyone for a while, Ji An released a golden light that seemed to leap across the earth, his body transforming into a dazzling five-colored radiance that stretched across the sky and returned to Crimson Flame Peak.

In the Crimson Cloud Pine Forest directly south of Crimson Flame Peak, the mouth of the Five-Colored Deer moved, and the moonlight condensed into strands of silver threads that disappeared into its mouth.

The spiritual trees surrounding him, hundreds of feet tall, were ravaged, charred black, and devoid of life.

Ji An hovered in the air and saw that the beast-taming deer's antlers were broken in some places, and half of its body was like black charcoal, but its breathing was steady, and its injuries were rapidly recovering as it continuously absorbed light.

These moon-white rays are the moon dew. At this moment, it is the time of midnight when yin and yang alternate, and the beast tamer receives two portions of moon dew.

A moment later, the lunar moon manifested from the interaction of heaven and earth disappeared. Ji An looked at his beast tamer, who was still in its demon beast form, and asked:
"When will you begin to take human form?"

The human body is a body close to the Dao. A key characteristic of a demon beast breaking through to the Nascent Soul level is transformation. He originally thought that transformation occurred during the breakthrough process, but now it seems that it did not.

"It will begin soon, True Lord. Could you please grant me another spiritual fruit? Transformation consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and I still have injuries."

The five-colored deer put on a pitiful act, almost as if it was about to squeeze out a few tears to sell its misery.

Ji An took out a few ordinary third-grade top-quality dragon blood fruits and tossed them to the beast tamer, saying, "The fourth-grade spirit fruits I have are all useful, so you can make do with these."

He knew in his heart that this guy was most likely just trying to freeload.

The five-colored deer was not picky at all. It opened its mouth, swallowed the spirit fruit, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

"Thank you, True Lord. By the way, have you decided on a Taoist name for me?"

After breaking through, the Five-Colored Deer no longer called him 'Master'. As a transformed great demon, he was now a 'person' with some dignity.

"Let's call it 'Five Sacred Mountains'."

The number 'five' symbolizes the completeness of the five elements and a bountiful harvest, while 'mountain' symbolizes unwavering reliability. In short, expectations are high.

The bloodline of the five-colored deer is strong enough to support such high expectations.

The five-colored deer nodded. "I like the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord!"

His body emitted spiritual light of the five elements: blue, red, yellow, white, and black, which quickly formed a huge cocoon of light and finally solidified into a real giant egg shaped like an egg.

The giant egg, with its pointed tip pointing upwards, was about ten feet tall, and then slowly sank more than three feet into the ground.

The yellow background is dotted with spots of blue, red, white, and black, like stars scattered among them, occasionally shimmering with a warm and luminous light.

Ji An faintly sensed the sound of water flowing inside the eggshell, full of life.

Centered on the giant egg, glistening raindrops fell within a radius of several dozen feet, spreading a moistening aura throughout this land ravaged by lightning.

Ji An took out the restriction jade tablet of the Crimson Flame Peak's protective array, fully activated the array, and then rode away on a cloud.

Back in his cave, Ji An entered the small world and focused his mind on his dantian, connecting with the stone tortoise. His golden form appeared above the Guanghan Palace, adorning this tranquil space.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao Yun: Gold 773.6, Water 715.4, Wood 684.5, Fire 647.8, Earth 796.2]

Spiritual Ability: Kan Spirit 762.4, Gen Spirit 845.6, Zhen Spirit 736.3, Xun Spirit 368.2, Kun Spirit 347.6, Qian Spirit 815.5, Dui Spirit 578.3, Li Spirit 653.9

[Spell: Thread-Binding Spell (Perfect 1%)]

Chaotic Five Elements Thunder (Perfect 9%)

[Golden Light Across the Ground (Perfect 83%)]

"Now we have Daoist energy to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs and refine the Five-Colored Pill."

Ji An said softly, his cheeks flushed. In the next few years, disciples will break through to the Golden Core stage one after another, and he will have to work hard to help Li Haoran form his Nascent Soul.

To gain a favor from a Nascent Soul sword cultivator and also receive a Daoist essence—how wonderful!

The following day, Ji An activated his magic to absorb the morning sun's purple dew, and then flew away on a cloud to Yunyin Mountain.

After exchanging greetings with the two True Lords of the Taixu Sect, everyone took their seats.

Zhenyue Zhenjun cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on the Five-Colored Deer's breakthrough to the Transformation Realm. Your sect's foundation has been further strengthened."

"Haha, the beast is unruly and needs more training."

Huayin Zhenjun covered his mouth and chuckled, "To have a rare beast like the Five-Colored Deer as a taming beast, no matter how unruly it may be, is something others can only dream of. Fellow Daoist's words are too enviable."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ji An said in a deep voice:

"Haoran mentioned the great battle in Zhongzhou. If it weren't for your sect taking him in, he would probably have perished in the army of the True Demons."

This kindness is profound, and our clan will surely repay it.

His words were an answer: 'Li Haoran will not join the Taixu Sect.'

Zhenyue Zhenjun understood and smiled:
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Young friend Li has killed many true demons and contributed a lot to the Taixu Sect. Even if there was any gratitude, it has been repaid. How can I repay it?"
Furthermore, when facing a true demon, we cultivators are a unified whole; it is only right that we stand together against it.

Let's not talk about repayment anymore; this settles our differences.

Ji An smiled, finding it easy to talk to intelligent people, and then said:

"Haoran is currently facing a breakthrough but is struggling due to the lack of cultivation techniques. Does your sect have any? We are willing to exchange them for fourth-tier resources."

After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for a reply.
