Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Guang Chengzi must have used Ding Yin's identity to go to Kunlun Mountain, and took advantage of Yu Ding Zhenren and Huang Long Zhenren's unpreparedness to suddenly kill them, annihilate their true selves, and refine them into two corpses, one good and one evil.

Compared to the actions of Buddha Tathagata, who entrusted his thoughts and soul to Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha, Guang Chengzi's actions are even more despicable.

At least the past Buddha Dipankara and the future Buddha Maitreya were in competition with the Tathagata Buddha, and were ready to replace the Tathagata Buddha at any time. The Tathagata Buddha refined them, which means that the Buddha was one foot higher.

And what about Guang Chengzi?
Master Yu Ding and Master Huang Long always respected their senior brother until Guang Chengzi abandoned Chi Jingzi and the others, at which point they became disillusioned with him.

For the sake of the Chan Sect, the two begged Liu Qing to spare the lives of the five Golden Immortals, including Chi Jingzi and Taiyi Zhenren, and to preserve their souls. Afterwards, for the sake of the Chan Sect's lineage, the two abandoned their own secluded cultivation and opened the sect's gates to recruit disciples, allowing the precarious Chan Sect to continue.

Just as Master Yuding and Master Huanglong were working tirelessly for the continuation of the Chan Sect, Guangchengzi suddenly turned on them, killing his two fellow disciples and refining them into his own benevolent and malevolent corpses.

His cruel methods and despicable character make him unworthy of being called a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect!
A murderous glint appeared in Liu Qing's eyes, and all the immortals of the Jie Sect looked at Guang Chengzi with murderous intent. Jin Gu Xian, who had the best relationship with Huanglong Zhenren, even pointed at Guang Chengzi and cursed him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Hoop Immortal was not proficient in the great supernatural power of the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, he would have certainly burned his own life force to curse and kill Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi smiled indifferently, opened his mouth and swallowed, and the evil corpse Jade Cauldron True Man and the benevolent corpse Yellow Dragon True Man entered Guang Chengzi's body.

In an instant, Guang Chengzi's aura surged, and his half-step Hunyuan realm also soared.

Like the Buddha, when the celestial phenomena appeared, they abruptly stopped just before the end. Guang Chengzi also achieved the perfect state of Quasi-Saint, becoming a False Saint.

In a short time, both the Buddha and Guangchengzi were granted false sainthood.

This made Liu Qing, who was originally confident in handling the situation, start to feel uneasy. It seemed that his attempt to use the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey to achieve the status of a Saint of the Earthly Path was fraught with difficulties.

It's understandable. How could any living being who attains sainthood not face obstacles and tribulations on the path? The fact that Buddha Tathagata and Guangchengzi were able to smoothly ascend to the status of false saints clearly also involved karmic obstacles on the path.

Liu Qing's eyes flickered; she dared not underestimate him.

Liu Qing wasn't afraid of a single pseudo-saint who had reached the pinnacle of quasi-sainthood, but two pseudo-saints made him cautious.

At this juncture, if one wishes to leverage the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey to break through to the Earthly Saint level, the only option is to first entangle the two false saints, Tathagata Buddha and Guang Chengzi, and then suppress them after one has broken through to the Earthly Saint level.

"Golden Spirit Mother, Wudang Mother, you two hold off the Buddha and buy me time!"

Without hesitation, Jinling Shengmu and Wudang Shengmu stepped forward to challenge Tathagata Buddha. Even though they knew that Tathagata Buddha had already achieved false sainthood and that the two were no match for each other, they did not hesitate at all for the sake of their senior brother, the sect leader.

Liu Qing lent the innate treasure, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, to the Holy Mother Wudang: "Holy Mother Wudang, you may hold this treasure that protects my path!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang was overjoyed. She had already prepared herself for her demise, but the sect leader bestowed upon her a treasure to protect the Dao.

This Panlong Eight-Tone Cone is a supreme innate treasure and a supreme weapon of slaughter. Its power is terrifying, far surpassing his own Wudang Sword, and it can enhance his combat power several times over out of thin air.

Now, they are confident that by combining their strength, they can entangle the false Buddha.

The Holy Mother of Wudang, wielding Liu Qing's innate treasure, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, thrust out her spear, shattering space and revealing chaos. She coldly shouted at Tathagata: "Tathagata, fight against our chaos!"

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk is willing to accompany you!"

Faced with the Golden Spirit Mother, who possessed the innate top-grade spiritual treasure, the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi, and the Four Symbols Pagoda, and the Wudang Mother, who was in the late stage of the Great Luo Realm but wielded an innate supreme treasure, even the Buddha Tathagata, who had now achieved the status of a false saint, dared not underestimate them.

Furthermore, without overcoming the trials of the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling, it would be impossible to stop Liu Qing from attaining enlightenment.

Therefore, the Buddha did not hesitate and followed behind the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling to fight in the chaos.

"Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, Pilu Immortal, Yuan Hong, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, the Ten Heavenly Lords of Golden Turtle Island, Lü Yue, Luo Xuan, Wen Zhong, you all lead the immortals of the Jie Sect, as well as the gods of the Zhou Tian, ​​to set up the Jie Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to block Guang Chengzi!"

After saying that, Liu Qing waved his hand and took out all kinds of innate and acquired spiritual treasures that he had obtained from killing enemies many times before, such as Chi Jingzi's Yin-Yang Mirror, Haotian Shangdi's Haotian Mirror, Haotian Sword, Yaochi Jinmu's Golden Hairpin, Longji Princess's Gathering Immortal Banner, Mist Dew Universe Net, as well as hundreds of other items such as Flying Dragon Staff, Precious Light Staff, Purple Gold Bowl, Universe Ring, Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, Ruyi Universe Bag, Human Seed Bag, Golden Bell, Gold Brick, etc.

Among the immortals of the Jie Sect, all of them had burning eyes upon seeing it, but they did not lose their heads. According to their own level of cultivation, they chose the spiritual treasures to borrow to enhance their combat power.

Subsequently, Liu Qing presented the Scripture of Earthly Conversation, which served as the core of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. He entrusted it to Zhao Gongming for temporary control, while other powerful figures from the Jie Sect, holding the spiritual treasures temporarily borrowed by Liu Qing, entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Instantly, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was filled with a chilling aura, a cold wind rose, the sun and moon lost their light, the stars dimmed, and accompanied by the wails of ghosts and the cries of all spirits, blocking Guang Chengzi's way.

Guang Chengzi's expression turned serious.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation that Liu Qing had the immortals of the Jie Sect set up was more than a hundred times more powerful than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation that had been displayed on the clouds above Jiangdu City.

There was no other reason than that the innate treasure, the True Scripture of Earth, served as the core, and the powerful Jie Sect master, who possessed a superior spiritual treasure lent by Liu Qing, acted as the array's eye. Other Jie Sect disciples supported the array around the eye according to the formation. And that wasn't all. The Three Immortal Maidens used the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Array within the Ten Thousand Immortals Array. The Ten Heavenly Lords followed suit and set up the Ten Absolute Arrays within the Ten Thousand Immortals Array as well.

Emperor Lu Yue, the Plague King, chuckled and summoned four Plague Messengers from his ranks. Together, they set up the Five Elements Plague Array within the Ten Thousand Immortals Array.

Fire Star Lord Luo Xuan, Fire Spirit Mother, and other fire-element disciples formed a Fire Dragon and Fire Crow Formation, centered around the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. While seemingly a Myriad Immortals Formation, it contained formations within formations. Each formation could gather the power of the group, drastically increasing their attack. Ultimately, all these elements were unified within the Myriad Immortals Formation, making its power a hundred times more terrifying than before.

With the Soul-Slaying Bell above his head, dressed in the Cloud-Sweeping Robe, and holding the Heaven-Turning Seal, a supreme treasure of acquired nature, Guang Chengzi stepped into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation with a resolute expression on his face.

The Myriad Immortals Formation stood in Liu Qing's way; without breaking the Myriad Immortals Formation, it was impossible to stop Liu Qing.

Only by breaking the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation can one approach Liu Qing and suppress him. This situation is just like when the Four Sages joined forces to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation during the Investiture of the Gods.

However, the Four Sages were replaced by the fake sage Guang Chengzi, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation at this time was less than one percent of its power during the Investiture of the Gods.

Whether Guang Chengzi broke the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation or the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation suppressed Guang Chengzi, no one knows.

Liu Qing didn't know either.

All Liu Qing knew was that he needed to break through as soon as possible, obtain the Primordial Dao Fruit, and achieve the status of a Saint of the Earthly Dao.

Otherwise, a great calamity would surely befall us today.

The Buddha and Guang Chengzi staked their spiritual paths on this, while Liu Qing staked his life on it.

The question was whether the Buddha and Guang Chengzi would break through the encirclement of the Jie Sect immortals, suppress Liu Qing, seize the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey, and become saints, or whether Liu Qing would become a Daoist saint first within the time the Jie Sect immortals had bought for him.

Liu Qing took a deep breath, stepped out, and arrived above Biyou Palace. He then threw out the Wanlong Palace, placing it within the Eastern Journey's fortune and merit.

He then entered the Wanlong Hall.

The time-altering function of the Wanlong Palace was pushed to its limit.

Liu Qing calmed his mind and sat cross-legged. He opened his mouth and exhaled, and a myriad of phenomena appeared. Within these phenomena, the endless mountains, rivers, and lands of the Three Realms were all manifested.

Whether it was famous mountains and great rivers, ponds and lakes, or barren deserts, everything that existed in the Three Realms was manifested by Liu Qing's divine soul and surrounded him.

Liu Qing reached out and summoned a ball of luck and merit.

Spread your fortune across mountains, rivers, grasslands, and deserts, imbuing them with spirituality, and dissipate your merits, permeating them into them.

Then you'll see that the mountains and rivers have become larger, the rivers deeper, the grasslands more lush, and the deserts more expansive.

Mountains and rivers give rise to the spirit of metal, rivers give birth to the spirit of water, grasslands evolve the spirit of wood, the earth dissipates the spirit of earth, and deserts gather boundless fire.

The spiritual essence of the five elements emerges together, and merit permeates and sublimates to the extreme, allowing the five elements to go from mutual restraint to mutual generation, and then to the five elements rotating in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint.

Inside the Wanlong Hall, a thousand years passed in a flash.

Liu Qing gathered the five elements from the underground passages of the Southern Continent of the human world, forming a cycle of mutual generation and restraint among the five elements.

Then, without stopping, they began the underground sublimation of Beiju Luzhou.

Based on Liu Qing's current understanding, he needs to gather all the mountains, rivers, landforms, grasslands, and deserts of the three realms of the Earthly Realm (Human Realm, Earthly Realm, and Heavenly Realm) into the Five Elements, and make the Five Elements mutually generate and restrain each other, and sublimate to the extreme, before he can achieve the status of an Earthly Saint.

A thousand years later, Liu Qing completed the underground sublimation of Beiju Luzhou.

Five thousand years later, Liu Qing completed the underground sublimation of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Ten thousand years later, Liu Qing completed the underground passage sublimation of Xiniu Hezhou. With this, the underground passage sublimation of the four major continents of the human realm was completed.

Next, Liu Qing began the sublimation of the Heavenly Realm and the Earthly Realm through the underground passages.

The Celestial Realm has nine heavens, each with a vast landscape comparable to the entire Human Realm. The Earth Realm has ten lands, each with a vast landscape comparable to the entire Human Realm.

Therefore, it took another ten thousand years for Liu Qing to finally complete the sublimation of the first level of the Nine Heavens of Heaven.

The time required is getting longer and longer. Fortunately, he is inside the Wanlong Palace, which allows him to change the flow of time. Otherwise, if he were outside, it would probably take Liu Qing hundreds of thousands of years to become a saint.

Even so, Liu Qing dared not delay in the slightest.

Outside, the immortals of the Jie Sect were doing their utmost to buy time for Liu Qing, their sect leader.

Ten thousand years later, Liu Qing finally completed the sublimation of the underground passage within the nine heavens of the celestial realm, gathering the five elements and forming a cycle of mutual generation and restraint among them. (End of Chapter)
