Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 79: True Cultivation in the Human World
On June 6th, the weather was clear and Mihun Bay became more lively than ever before. Boats gathered from different directions, and the boats responsible for ferrying pedestrians were always fully loaded. Most of these people were from Qinghe County, and basically all the important people were there.

In addition, there are also many people from Qingxi County and Qingquan County. The reason for this is entirely because today is the day when Taiping Sect officially opens its gates.

In recent days, the glorious deeds of Feihong Sword Immortal have spread throughout Qinghe County, and even to the two neighboring counties. Everyone is full of curiosity about this Feihong Sword Immortal. In addition, the Taiping Sect's claim of teaching everyone, giving equal importance to immortals and martial arts, and the concept of the unity of immortals and martial arts has made many people want to come and take a look.

Everyone knows that cultivating immortals is good, but the path to immortality is too high, too far, and too difficult to obtain. The existence of spiritual orifices alone is enough to block the path of cultivation for most people. Although smart people know that the so-called unity of immortality and martial arts is just a rhetoric, the unwillingness in their hearts and the desire for the immortal path still make them unable to help but have a glimmer of hope.

In this way, more and more people came to Mihun Bay.

Dong, accompanied by a dull and powerful bell sound, the fog covering the Mihun Bay dissipated, and Muyu Island was completely revealed in front of everyone.

The river water is as clear as a mirror, with schools of fish playing and birds spreading their wings, showing a vibrant scene. The Muyu Island is located at the deepest part of the river bay, shaped like a big fish with its head raised high, about to jump out of the water. The trees on the island are lush and green, like the green scales on its body.

The pavilions, small bridges and flowing water are almost perfectly hidden in the space, showing its tranquility. From a distance, it gives people a sense of transcendence, as if it were a fairyland and something out of this world.

"The immortal sect outside the world is nothing more than this."

"A green fish emerges from the water and transforms into a dragon. What a wonderful scene! It's worthy of being an immortal sect."

The beautiful scenery touched everyone's heart, and their impression of the Taiping Sect suddenly became clear. The original aspirations in their hearts seemed to have turned into reality at this moment.

People who come here basically have no idea about the Immortal Sect, but the moment they see Muyu Island, they immediately understand that this is the Immortal Sect. It can only be said that the first impression is really important.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Yuan, who was in charge of reception affairs, smiled. Taiping Sect spent a lot of money to rebuild Muyu Island. They even asked the Lu family for help and invited the best construction master from the county town. From the current point of view, the effect is quite good.

As someone who follows Jiang Chen, he knows Jiang Chen's next plan for the Taiping Sect. Although the Taiping Sect is an immortal sect, it has just started. If it wants to develop rapidly, it must rely on secular support.

In such a situation, reputation is important, and face-saving is equally important. After all, most people in the world are shallow and can only see very limited things.

"In order to repair the sect, most of my previous savings have been spent, but as long as everything goes well, I should be able to make up for it soon."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind as Wang Yuan calculated silently.

As everyone arrived at Muyu Island one after another, the founding ceremony of Taiping Sect officially kicked off. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Chen, wearing a golden lotus crown, a feathered robe, and holding a dustpan in his hand, came riding on the wind and appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at Jiang Chen, who had such an immortal look, everyone couldn't help but reveal awe in their eyes. Riding the wind and controlling the air was the magical power of immortals.

"I, the poor Taoist Jiang Chen, am establishing my own sect here today. I wish the world peace and prosperity."

The voice was clear and came with the wind. At this moment, Jiang Chen's voice resounded throughout the entire Muyu Island and was clearly heard by everyone.

Then Jiang Chen transformed his energy into threads, and with his fingers like swords, he personally wrote two words on a huge blue stone, one was Tai and the other was Ping. The huge stone happened to be on the cliff, and from a distance it looked like it was held in the mouth of a fish, like a dragon ball.

As these two words fell, the originally ordinary bluestone suddenly burst into a hazy blue light, like a dream.

Seeing this scene, everyone marveled at the immortal traces, but Jiang Chen looked calm. Of course, there were no immortal traces. It was just that when he wrote the word "Peace", he used a small trick of injecting spirit. Through the soul power, he injected part of his own soul power into the bluestone, creating the illusion that the bluestone was spiritual.

Among the four uses of supernatural powers he developed, infusing spirits is undoubtedly the most difficult and mysterious one. It has two sides of life and death, each with its own changes. The life side can make dead objects communicate with spirits, and the death side can kill the enemy at the cost of sacrificing part of one's own soul.

However, this method of use is too extreme and the cost is too high, so he will basically not use it until the last moment.

Amidst everyone's amazement, Jiang Chen quietly withdrew his soul power. If he wanted to make the dead object truly spiritual, he had to tear his own soul apart. After all, this method was just a trick and had great limitations.

"The purpose of Taiping is to maintain unity and cultivate the spirit, practice good deeds and accumulate virtue, cultivate the great way together, and build peace together. Now there is a monster that is causing chaos in Qinghe and taking lives. Its crime is unforgivable, and its blood should be sacrificed to Taiping."

Jiang Chen was full of righteousness. At this moment, he was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, showing its sharpness to the fullest. He made everyone feel depressed and lowered their heads unconsciously.

It was at this time that two heavily bound monsters were brought up by the Taiping Sect disciples. One of them was a green ape, two meters tall, with extremely long arms, bared teeth, and a ferocious face. The other was a big beast with dark yellow hair all over its body and emerald green eyes that emitted a faint light. Anyone who looked at it felt scared.

Looking at these two monsters and feeling the ferocious aura, everyone's hearts were shocked.

"It's the Green-armed Ape. This monster tore the first-rate master, Thousand Blades Liu Xing, alive not long ago. It's incredibly powerful. I didn't expect it to be captured by the Taiping Dao."

"That's a man-eating tiger. It once devoured a small village. The imperial court organized several rounds of suppression, but it always escaped. I didn't expect it to appear here."

Exclamations rang out one after another, and it was obvious that someone recognized the identities of these two monsters.

As if they smelled human presence and were stimulated, the green ape and the man-eating tiger began to struggle. For a moment, the iron chains that bound them made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

Ding-ling-ling, accompanied by a crisp sound, the iron chain that bound the green-armed ape broke.

Faced with such a sudden change, those who had been close by suddenly became terrified. Some chivalrous warriors also showed solemn expressions and unconsciously grasped their weapons. Only a few people remained calm. It was at this moment that a cold snort reached the ears of the crowd, calming their anxiety.

"How dare you, a mere monster, act rashly!"

With murderous intent released, Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the ferocious green-armed ape with its teeth bared. He then pointed lightly.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, and a finger as big as an ancient tree took shape, directly pressing the green-armed ape to the ground. The originally ferocious monster seemed extremely fragile at this moment, just like an ant.

Seeing this scene, everyone's admiration for Jiang Chen, their awe of Jiang Chen, and their yearning for the immortal path reached its peak, but this was not the end.

"The Green-armed Ape committed eleven murders in his lifetime, committing grave sins. He must use his entire being to protect the peace of Qinghe and atone for his sins."

With a solemn expression and the bloody true flame emerging, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Chen used his power to directly sacrifice the recently dead green-armed ape and refine it into a demon skin.

"Li Buqi, you were born an orphan, fed by hundreds of families and raised in kindness. This demon skin contains the power of the demon and also hides the demon's evil intentions. Today I give this demon skin to you to protect the people of Qinghe. Do you dare to hold it?"

His eyes were like swords, piercing people's hearts. Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Li Buqi, or the skinny monkey.

"Disciple is willing to uphold this principle. Please grant me the Dharma, Master."

With his hands folded, wearing a Taoist robe and with his hair tied with an iron crown, the skinny monkey bowed solemnly to Jiang Chen, his face full of determination and no hesitation.

"Laws have good and evil, but power has no right or wrong. If you use it right, it will be right; if you use it wrong, it will be wrong. I hope you won't let me down."

With a flick of his hand, under Jiang Chen's control, the green-armed ape's demon skin fell on the skinny monkey, and the skinny monkey, who had been prepared, refined it in an instant.

Roar, with the demon skin on his body, accompanied by a roar, the skinny monkey directly transformed into a green-armed ape, with demonic energy surging all over his body, as if the green-armed ape was reborn.

"This is the power of the demon..."

Powerful force flowed through his body, and the skinny monkey felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. Fortunately, he had obtained an opportunity to refine his mind with the Heart Refining Stone in advance for today, and he was determined and did not get lost.

"Great power needs a foil..."

With a fierce look in his eyes, the skinny monkey transformed into a green-armed ape locked his sights on the man-eating tiger.

Feeling the skinny monkey's gaze, the man-eating tiger suddenly felt something was wrong, but unfortunately it was tied up and could not do anything for the time being.

"Let me test the power of the demon."

With murderous intent bursting out in his heart, the skinny monkey directly used the magic of the green-armed ape. At this moment, spiritual energy surged, and a stone the size of a human head quietly condensed in the palm of the skinny monkey. This was the flying stone technique.

"die!"

The flying stone technique was used to its full potential, and the skinny monkey waved his hands instinctively.

Whoosh, a stone broke through the air, and accompanied by a roar, the man-eating tiger's head exploded directly, blooming a huge blood flower and falling to the ground. The process was bloody and brutal.

Seeing such a scene, whether it was ordinary people, chivalrous men who came to watch the ceremony, or even practitioners, they were all moved. After a brief silence, flames ignited in the eyes of countless people. It was enthusiasm and desire. It turned out that it was not just talk, the Taiping Sect really had the means to let ordinary people control the magic.

As for whether this power comes from a demon, no one cares. There is no right or wrong in power, and if it is used in a righteous way, it will be righteous. Everyone believes that they can control this power.

Taking in all these changes, Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

It was at this time that the cranes began to cry out, their sounds as distant as fairy music, refreshing the mind. A group of cranes flew over from afar, bathed in the golden sunlight, giving the air a sacred aura.

When this group of cranes flew over Muyu Island, the leading crane seemed to be attracted by something and looked down. It was at this moment that it met Jiang Chen's eyes.

With a long cry, as if frightened, the leading crane flapped its wings and took off with the other cranes, flying straight into the clouds. Only a green lotus in its mouth fell quietly.

Stretching out his palm to catch the green lotus falling from the sky, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. Although he had the secret record of raising cranes left by Taoist Baihe, he did not raise cranes. This scene was not arranged by him.

When the others saw the blue lotus fall into Jiang Chen's hands, they became more and more convinced that Jiang Chen was a true cultivator. After all, the crane and the blue lotus both have certain special meanings in the immortal way. A down-and-out scholar was even inspired and said, "Don't say that there are no crane messengers in the mortal world, they carry the blue lotus down from the clouds. There are true cultivators in the world, so why bother looking for Penglai Mountain far away?"

After he finished speaking, he was already in tears. He had once encountered the immortal path and his life was ruined. Today, he was able to see the true cultivation, and the regret in his heart also dissipated.
