Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Having spent two hundred thousand years, Liu Qing finally completed the sublimation of the earthly passages of the human realm and the heavenly realm, leaving only the earthly realm remaining.

The realm is divided into ten lands: the Land of Immaculate Purity, the Land of Netherworld, the Land of Immortal Slaying, the Land of Fallen Gods, the Land of Fallen Buddhas, the Land of Demons, the Land of the Eastern King, the Land of the Western Mother, the Land of Blood Sea, and the Three Thousand Dao States.

Liu Qing projected the ten lands of the realm with his divine soul, manifesting them before him. He then reached out and summoned the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey, sprinkling them upon them.

outside world.

In the chaos above Biyou Palace.

The Buddha's immaculate kasaya was pierced in many places by the innate treasure, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone. Its precious light trembled and its spirituality was annihilated. It had long been forcibly knocked off its status as an innate spiritual treasure.

The Azure Lotus Banner is one of the Five Elements Banners, a supreme innate spiritual treasure. With the power of this treasure alone, it fought against the Four Symbols Pagoda of the Golden Spirit Mother and the Wudang Sword of the Wudang Mother.

The Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi kept colliding with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, emitting a series of booming sounds, and the aftershocks caused the surrounding chaotic energy to surge violently.

The Golden Spirit Mother's body, formed from her divine soul, was pierced with several transparent holes by the Six Pure Bamboos. Her divine soul trembled, and her divine light flickered, clearly indicating that her divine soul had been severely injured.

Blood trickled from the corner of Wudang Holy Mother's mouth, her face was ashen, one of her hands had already been shattered, and her only remaining left hand was used to desperately swing the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone to block the Buddha's palm strikes against the Buddha's Buddha Kingdom.

Compared to the exhausted state of the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling, the Buddha still had nearly 90% of his fighting strength remaining.

He wanted to get rid of Wudang Holy Mother and Jinling Holy Mother quickly, but the two powerful figures of the Jie Sect disregarded their own injuries and desperately entangled Tathagata.

Faced with the two fiercely fighting Holy Mothers, even though Buddha was highly skilled and had many tricks up his sleeve, he had no choice but to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Who knows if they might self-destruct their magical artifacts or souls when they go mad?
Even with the Buddha's profound cultivation, he dared not force the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling to self-destruct the innate superior-grade Wudang Sword, the Four Symbols Pagoda, and the innate supreme-grade Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi.

What Buddha Tathagata wanted was to defeat the combined forces of Wudang Holy Mother and Jinling Holy Mother while protecting himself and preserving his fighting strength, so as to suppress Liu Qing and seize his fortune and merit.

Otherwise, even if he defeated the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling, he would be seriously injured. How could he then suppress Liu Qing, seize the fortune and merit, and become a true saint?

On the other side, Guang Chengzi faced the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of the Jie Sect immortals.

With the Soul-Sinking Bell stabilizing his soul and the Sweeping Cloud Robe protecting his physical body, and with the acquired treasure, the Heaven-Turning Seal, free from all worries, he wreaked havoc in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

With a single strike of the Heaven-Turning Seal, Lü Yue and his four disciples, who were under the seal, were instantly killed, and the Plague Array was also broken.

However, the True Scripture of Talking Earth at the core of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation trembled slightly, taking away the souls of Lü Yue and his four disciples and nurturing them within it. After nurturing, they would be able to re-emerge.

Guang Chengzi was furious. His all-out attack with the Fantian Seal had only killed a few people.

He wanted to use the Heaven-Turning Seal to crush the souls of the disciples of the Intercepting Sect who had been suppressed, but he could not stop the power of the Earth-Turning True Scripture to absorb them, and could only sigh helplessly.

Even among the most precious innate treasures, the Scripture of Earthly Destiny stands at the very top. In terms of its ability to gather and capture souls, no other spiritual treasure in the Three Realms can compare.

"Since that's the case, then I will shatter your divine bodies one by one. At that time, the great formation will naturally break. Without the obstruction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, I can seize the fortune and merits and become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Liu Qing can be suppressed at will!"

After Guang Chengzi understood, he stopped worrying and began to roar repeatedly, throwing down the Fantian Seal. The Ten Deadly Formations and the Fire Dragon and Fire Crow Formations that were blocking Guang Chengzi's way were all smashed down after only one round. Their divine bodies were shattered, and their divine souls were taken into the Tan Di True Scripture for nurturing, and they could not be reborn for a short time.

Even the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by the Three Immortal Maidens could only withstand a few dozen rounds under the Heaven-Turning Seal before the formation broke and the souls returned to their places.

Back then, the Three Immortal Maidens, relying on the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, dared to have all twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have their five elements extinguished and their three flowers defiled. It wasn't until the Sage intervened that the great formation was finally broken.

However, now, facing Guang Chengzi, who is a fake saint, the Three Immortal Maidens were frustrated and broke after being hit by the Heaven-Turning Seal repeatedly. This was because after being enshrined as gods, they lost their physical bodies, and the fighting power of the Three Immortal Maidens was greatly reduced.

Otherwise, even if Guang Chengzi, a false saint, possessed the acquired treasure Fan Tian Seal, he would still have difficulty breaking the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation at its peak.

Guang Chengzi successively broke through the Plague Formation, the Fire Dragon and Fire Crow Formation, the Ten Deadly Formations, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, leaving only the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation set up by Zhao Gongming and others.

Despite having the spiritual treasure lent by Liu Qing to enhance their combat power, they all perished under the Fantian Seal in the face of Guang Chengzi's formidable strength.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was about to be broken, Guang Chengzi burst into maniacal laughter, as if the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey were right before his eyes, and the position of saint was within his grasp.

Unfortunately, he was caught in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and failed to notice that the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey that hung above Biyou Palace were now almost gone.

Even as he fled into the chaos, the Buddha Tathagata, who was tightly bound by the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling, was unaware that Liu Qing had already absorbed most of the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey.

"Zhao Gongming, behold my Heaven-Turning Seal! With the next strike, I will send you all back to your places!"

Guang Chengzi shouted and threw out the Fantian Seal, which slammed down on the Wanxian Formation, which was barely maintained by a dozen or so people.

Just then, Tan Di Zhen Jing suddenly moved, releasing a blinding divine light. This divine light seemed to be an edict, and the void rippled continuously as one celestial deity after another was forcibly brought to Tan Di Zhen Jing.

There are the Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen, the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, the seven fairy maidens they gave birth to in the mortal world, as well as the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Star Lords of the Southern and Northern Dippers, the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends, the Three Officials and Four Emperors, and the five Golden Immortals of the Chijingzi Chan Sect who filled the Five Directions and Five Elders, and other heavenly gods of the Heavenly Court.

After Tan Di Zhen Jing melted down the Investiture of the Gods, it transferred all the gods in the Investiture of the Gods to its own control. Later, before the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were reincarnated, their souls were also restricted by Tan Di Zhen Jing.

It can be said that 99% of the gods in Heaven are under the control of the Talking Earth True Scripture. Now that the Talking Earth True Scripture has brought them here to fight Guang Chengzi, they dare not disobey.

The Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen and the Queen Mother Yang Hui, without hesitation, immediately led a group of Heavenly Court Star Lords, Emperors and Gods to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, blocking in front of Guang Chengzi, which just took over the Jiejiao Ten Thousand Immortals Array.

Guang Chengzi was extremely frustrated.

These celestial gods were not particularly powerful. Although they had set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, which was passed down from the demon race's celestial court, the power they could unleash was only one-thousandth of what it was.

Guang Chengzi was able to break through the Zhou Tian Star Array, causing the bodies of the Jade Emperor and other celestial gods to shatter, and their original essence to return to the nourishment of the True Scripture of Earth.

But it will take a lot of time.

Guang Chengzi learned about Liu Qing's Wanlong Palace during the battle atop Jiangdu City that it possessed the ability to alter the flow of time.

The time spent outside may seem short, but within the Wanlong Palace, countless millennia have passed.

What if Liu Qing achieves sainthood during this period?

"It shouldn't be that fast. Even when Master Yuanshi became a Heavenly Dao Saint, it took him several kalpas. Even if Liu Qing is hiding in the Myriad Dragons Palace, it's impossible for him to become a Saint so quickly. How can the Sainthood be achieved so easily?"

"At most, the Wanlong Palace will give Liu Qing a few hundred thousand more years to cultivate. How could a mere few hundred thousand years be enough for him to comprehend the rules of the Saintly Realm?"

Guang Chengzi comforted himself, then looked at the Jade Emperor and other gods, threw the Fantian Seal, which manifested half of Buzhou Mountain, and smashed it down fiercely.

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Dragons, 230,000 years later.

Liu Qing led the ten realms through the underground passage, where they finally achieved their ultimate sublimation.

A look of joy appeared in Liu Qing's eyes. Now, in the Three Realms of the Underworld, all the landforms have been sublimated, the Five Elements have been gathered, and the cycle of the Five Elements has been perfected.

Only one step remains.

The goal is to integrate the three realms of the Earthly Dao into one's own three ancestral apertures of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man,' thus unlocking the potential to become a Saint of the Earthly Dao. Liu Qing took a deep breath; success or failure hinged on this final tremor.

He reached out and grabbed the projection of the Nine Heavens of Heaven, which had been elevated to its highest level through the fortune and merit of the Eastern Journey, and then injected it into his Heavenly Gate Ancestral Aperture.

Next, the projections of the ten land boundaries were sent into the ancestral aperture of the earth gate.

Finally, the projections of the four continents of the human realm were projected into the ancestral aperture of the human body.

Liu Qing then stepped out of the Wanlong Hall.

He recalled the true scriptures of Tan Di and hung them before him.

When Guang Chengzi saw Liu Qing emerge with no significant change in his aura, and also saw Liu Qing recall the Tan Di Zhen Jing, he assumed that Liu Qing had failed in his attempt to ascend to sainthood. Overjoyed, he unleashed a full-force attack with the Fan Tian Yin, which suppressed the divine bodies of the Jade Emperor and other celestial beings, allowing them to return to their positions and breaking the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array.

"Liu Qing, no matter how hard you try, your path remains like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, something you can only look at but never reach!"

"Haha, Liu Qing, you're no match for me! Watch me!"

Guang Chengzi looked up at the sky above Biyou Palace, triumphantly searching for the fortune and merit of the journey to the east, only to find that less than one percent remained.

He immediately roared angrily, "Liu Qing, you've taken away the fortune and merits from the Eastern Journey?"

"Hand it over obediently, and I might leave you with a divine soul imprint. Otherwise, I will suppress and kill you, and strip away your fortune and merits. You will not escape the annihilation of your body and soul!"

Liu Qing closed his eyes and did not answer.

Guang Chengzi viciously threw out the Fantian Seal, which slammed down on Liu Qing's head.

Liu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the flow of time, and suddenly spoke: "From the Snake Pool, I rose to power, expanded the Dharma Realm, established the Divine Domain, gathered the Five Elements, opened the Three Flowers, forged a golden body to achieve immortality, and all laws returned to one as the Great Luo."

"Today, we travel the earth's path, traverse the three realms, guard the Heavenly Gate with the Nine Heavens, support the earth's households with the ten directions, and reside among humanity with the four continents."

"The Sage of the Earthly Path, accomplished!—"

In an instant, the True Scripture of Earthly Talk entered Liu Qing's body, transforming into a stream of Xuanhuang Qi. The Xuanhuang Qi rose to the Heavenly Gate of the Nine Heavens, while the Huangqi sank to the Earthly Gates of the Ten Directions. The Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gates resounded with Daoist sounds, connecting with the human body.

At this moment, all the myriad elements of the Five Elements rose from the Nine Heavens of Heaven, the Ten Directions of Earth, and the Four Great Continents of the Human Realm, paying homage to Liu Qing.

Countless flowers and grasses bowed their heads, endless birds, beasts, fish and insects knelt down, and boundless heavenly treasures appeared, radiating spiritual energy, and gathered at Liu Qing's feet.

Suddenly, space cracked open, and chaotic energy filled the air. From it, a sapling grew. The sapling grew in the blink of an eye, but it had no leaves or branches. Only at the very top, it bore a single fruit.

The fruit was indistinct and its color was indistinguishable, yet it carried the fragrance of flowers, trees, soil, rocks, and rivers.

Liu Qing smiled faintly, and with a sudden inspiration, he opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit.

Instantly, Liu Qing's aura surged, and the immense pressure caused Guang Chengzi to slowly bend over and kneel.

This oppressive force, centered on Liu Qing, spread towards the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, and Four Continents.

All living beings that felt this turned towards Liu Qing and worshipped him with utmost devotion.

"My path has been completed—"

Liu Qing murmured to himself, which caused the tunnel to rumble, like a whirlwind sweeping through the hearts of all living beings in the nine heavens, ten earths, and four continents.

"Congratulations to the Sage of the Earthly Path! —"

All living beings in the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, and Four Continents offered their congratulations in unison, and amidst each congratulatory shout, their devout power transformed into a dragon-shaped chariot.

For some unknown reason, the Four Dragon Kings were suddenly brought here and placed in front of the dragon carriage, where they were transformed into the dragons pulling the carriage.

Liu Qing stepped onto the imperial carriage.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a law of the earth, drawing out the Holy Mother of Wudang, the Holy Mother of Jinling, and the Buddha Tathagata from the chaos.

"Wudang, Jinling, you two should rest for now. I will take care of the other two."

The body of the Holy Mother Jinling had already disintegrated by more than half, and the hands of the Holy Mother Wudang were both broken. Both of them were severely injured and were barely holding on by a single breath.

Liu Qing plucked Xuan Qi from the Ninth Heaven and injected it into the body of the Golden Spirit Mother. The Golden Spirit Mother's disintegrating divine body was instantly restored to its original state.

Liu Qing then summoned yellow qi from all directions and injected it into the body of the Holy Mother Wudang. Her severed hands immediately healed, and other injuries to her body were also cured.

Liu Qing looked at Guang Chengzi, whose face was ashen, and thought, "Buddha."

"You two, detonate your souls!"

The Buddha's face was ashen. He uttered a Buddhist chant, his tone filled with despair.

Even with the utmost confidence, I don't believe I can escape from the hands of a true sage. And even if I could escape, where could I hide?
The power of a sage is immeasurable; even if one hides in the space between Mount Sumeru and the stars, one cannot escape the perception of a sage's thoughts.

"Amitabha--"

"What's the use of Amitabha Buddha? Can he summon the saints of Amitabha or Cundi?"

Guang Chengzi forcefully unleashed his inner power, slowly standing up from the oppressive aura of Saint Liu Qing. He turned back to curse the Buddha, then turned back to look at Liu Qing with a frenzied expression.

"So what if he's a saint?"

“I also possess the power of a sage, and so do you, Tathagata, with the acquired treasure, the Heaven-Turning Seal. I refuse to believe that Liu Qing, a newly attained sage, can suppress us!”

"Buddha, things have come to this point, Liu Qing will never let us go. Why not fight to the death and seek a moment of peace, so that we won't have any regrets after we die!"

Guang Chengzi roared madly, then poured all his magic power into the Fantian Seal and slammed it down on Liu Qing's head, laughing loudly: "Haha, haha, I, Guang Chengzi, will slaughter a saint today!"

"Very well, very well, Amitabha! This humble monk also wishes to witness the saint's methods!"

The Buddha Tathagata unleashed all his cultivation, transforming into a colossal Buddha reaching to the heavens. The six pure bamboos in his hands, the blue lotus banner, and his physical body all turned into firewood, igniting the glazed Buddha flames. Instantly, the Buddha Tathagata's ultimate, desperate move, the glazed Buddha flames, burned towards Liu Qing.

"If you are not a false saint, you will see me as a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the moon; if you are a false saint, you will see me as a floating creature trying to peek at the bright moon!"

"Pathetic, laughable—"

Liu Qing reached out, palm down, and pressed down from a distance. (End of Chapter)
