Chapter 233 The Jade Purity Power

Dari Tathagata did not delay. His fierce sunlight vanished from Uttarakuru, and in the blink of an eye, this light arrived in Taoist territory. Taoism entered Lishanhe the latest. The four continents were the self-reserved land of Buddhism, and the ten continents and three islands, and the eight giant seas, were the residences of many immortals and Buddhas. However, these were only large fragments of Lishanhe.

It was only here that the ancient immortals and gods had entered. Outside the seas, there were also other misty paradises.

The territory occupied by Taoism in the ten continents and three islands was not large, after all, this was a matter of first come, first served. Zhang Daoling once entered Lishanhe and transformed into the Fourth Heavenly Sky. At that time, the Taoist sect only had one continent and one sea. Now, after thousands of years of changes in Biaoshanhe, and ten thousand years of passing in Lishanhe, the territory of the Taoist sect has increased, possessing three continents and two seas.

Correspondingly, in the long years, the Buddhist power was too large and targeted many times. Therefore, it abandoned one continent and one sea in exchange for long-term stability. This was the result of the balance of the four parties. Even so, Buddhism still retained another continent and sea.

Liuzhou, Mount Kunwu.

The light of Dari Tathagata arrived here. A Taoist palace was about to stand tall, where the sounds of chickens and dogs in the human world could not be heard at the high levels, nor could the smell of human fireworks be smelled, and it had to be connected to the world of the heavenly gods.

The Taoist sect has sixteen major heavenly palaces, and dozens of other minor heavenly palaces. Although most of the heavenly palaces are gathered in Jukuzhou, with the passage of time, after the Taoist sect obtained a new continent, heavenly palaces were moved there. Such was the case with the Jinglun Heavenly Palace of the New Celestial Masters.

Liuzhou is in the West Sea, with many mountains and rivers. Accumulated stones form Kunwu, and swords made there shine brightly, like water crystals, cutting jade like mud.

This continent has many sword immortals.

The moment Dari Tathagata's light manifested here, it was detected by the immortals of Jinglun Heavenly Palace. In an instant, the immortals of heaven and earth manifested, and two flying immortals walked out of them, their momentum was huge, and they were on high alert.

"So it is the esteemed Buddha Dari Tathagata. May I ask what brings you from Uttarakuru to this Liuzhou?"

The two flying immortals saw that the visitor was not the enemy they had imagined, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, explaining: "Recently, the Hidden Immortal Sect's True Man Fire Dragon has been killing Shangqing cultivators everywhere. The hearts of the Taoists in the ten continents are panicked. Please forgive us."

A question came from the glow of Dari Tathagata: "Jinglun Heavenly Palace is the New Celestial Masters' sect, and has nothing to do with Shangqing. Why be so nervous?"

One of the flying immortals: "...Someone once cultivated the Shangqing Dharma."

Dari Tathagata did not pursue the matter further. This was not his concern. He came here just to ask about Ji Xiang's situation.

And after the two flying immortals listened to Dari Tathagata's inquiry, because the Esoteric sect and most Taoism had grievances, but not so much with Jinglun Heavenly Palace, although standing on the same Taoist position, they should treat the Esoteric Buddha with hostility, but the other party was at least in the Heavenly Heart Realm, and it was impossible to come up and drive them away.

Unless there was a great feud.

"We don't know much about this person..."

After saying that, they told about the contact between General Nuogao Dayin and Ji Xiang. Although Jinglun Heavenly Palace had been paying attention to Ji Xiang, they mostly used the eyes of others to observe him. For example, Fire Lord was their possessed object, and also one of their agents, but this woman always messed things up, which made them not very satisfied.

If she had not been recognized by the Taiyin Calamity Fire, she would have been replaced long ago. Keeping her was only to re-引 out the complete Taiyin Calamity Fire.

"This person has the power of the Four Saints of the North Pole..."

"This person is said to have traveled to Dafuli Land for 1,400 years..."

"This person seems to be from the same era as the Great Virtuous Teacher..."

"The True Man Fire Dragon's attack on Shangqing this time is said to be related to him, and he should now be a descendant of the Hidden Immortal Sect. As for the divine position you described, we don't know. We have never heard of such a god in past books."

"If you know even a little bit of the name of that god, perhaps we can help you inquire. You can ask the more ancient Taoist sects."

Dari Tathagata's voice paused: "How could Celestial Master Kou not know?"

The existence referred to as Celestial Master is not only the so-called "Four Great Celestial Masters". Kou Qianzhi, the leader of the New Celestial Masters' sect, Lu Xiujing, the leader of the Southern Celestial Masters' sect, Ye Fashan, the master of a hundred methods of Maoshan, Du Guangting, the leader of the "Chongxuan Sect," a Taoist sect unique to the Tang Dynasty... and even Zhong Kui has the title of "Ghost-Catching Celestial Master."

In short, in Taoism, the word Celestial Master refers to a highly accomplished Taoist, often the leader of a major sect.

"Celestial Master Kou does not know."

The two flying immortals actually admitted it, and Dari Tathagata didn't know what to say for a moment. He really wanted to say that he didn't believe it, and to let him go in and see, but the truth was that he couldn't do that.

"...Since even Celestial Master Kou doesn't know, then I will go to the Divine Firmament Sect and ask."

Dari Tathagata left Jinglun Heavenly Palace, and the fierce sunlight crossed Liuzhou, arriving at the third destination of the three Taoist continents, which was also the newest continent obtained in the past two thousand years—Changzhou.

Changzhou, also known as Qingqiu.

It is located in the Chen and Si directions of the South Sea, with many mountains, rivers, large trees, immortal herbs, spiritual medicines, sweet liquids, and jade essences. It has the Purple Mansion Palace, where heavenly true immortal women play.

Changzhou, Qingzhen Grotto-Heaven.

The members of the Divine Firmament Sect are scattered. Its palace, the Divine Firmament Heavenly Palace, is not one of the sixteen major heavenly palaces, but a minor heavenly palace. However, the Divine Firmament Sect's magic power is fierce, and thunder techniques and astral winds are its得意之术. It can mobilize the power of the blue sky's wind and thunder, so although its members are scattered, and its gathering place is only a small heavenly palace, not many people are willing to antagonize it.

Apart from the Eternal Truth Sect, which strongly supported the Jin Dynasty, being its mortal enemy, the Jin-Yuan Dynasty cultivators were not friendly with the Divine Firmament Sect. On the contrary, they got along well with the Liao people.

The small heavenly palace does not have a Heavenly Heart expert to guard it. The highest cultivation is only a flying immortal.

However, the Divine Firmament Sect has the West River Sect as its side branch to guard it. Although Celestial Master Sa, the master of the West River, did not ascend to Lishanhe, he once crossed boundaries to attack the immortals in Lishanhe, making many people extremely afraid of that unique West River Thunder Method that did not originate from heaven and earth but from itself.

"Dari Tathagata, what do you intend to do here?"

The flying immortal of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Palace came forward to ask Dari Tathagata what he intended to do here, with obvious hostility.

"I am here to ask about a person."

"Who?"

"Is Yuanmiao Great Sage here?"

"Yuanmiao...!"

The flying immortal's expression suddenly changed, and he glared angrily: "Lin Lingsu is not here. If you want to take his life, Buddha, you should go out and find him yourself. A thousand cuts and ten thousand pieces have nothing to do with us. Don't come to this Divine Firmament Heavenly Palace to cause trouble!"

If a person at the ordinary flying immortal level dared to speak to the Heavenly Heart expert in this way, they would inevitably be punished, but this was indeed not Uttarakuru. If a Buddhist Heavenly Heart expert took action here, a Taoist Heavenly Heart expert would also manifest in the world. This was an unnecessary battle.

Dari Tathagata did not have a good temper, but he did not want to take action here either. However, the tone of the Divine Firmament flying immortal still made him dissatisfied:

"Buddhas also have anger. I am only looking for someone. Whether Yuanmiao is here or not, I will not attack the Divine Firmament Sect. But you, flying immortal, truly have no manners."

"Forget it, this is an extraordinary matter. I have urgent business. Since he is not here, then I will search for a moment..."

Dari Tathagata left the Divine Firmament Heavenly Palace, and his Heavenly Heart's millions of thoughts spread throughout the continent. However, because there were no Buddhist cultivators here, it was much more difficult to find a person with his thoughts.

"Buddha, please stay!"

Suddenly, someone intercepted Dari Tathagata halfway, which surprised Dari Tathagata slightly.

With the Heavenly Heart's thoughts reflecting all continents, it was impossible for anyone to know where he would appear next.

"Who are you?"

This person was wrapped in a white robe, and his face was dark, without facial features, using illusion to conceal it. Dari Tathagata could not help but chuckle: "In front of me, use less of this illusion. If you have something to say, but you are still concealing it, you also have no manners. You are not a true expert."

"What the Buddha says is reasonable."

The person in white waved his hand across his face, dispersing the darkness.

"I am a person from Shangqing. I know what that deity on the Arctic Dharma Master is. I am here to tell the Buddha!"

"That is an existence that people have wanted to 接引 since ancient times, but no one has ever truly succeeded in 接引 it! It's really strange! It was actually seized by that person and placed on his body."

"If the Buddha obtains that divine form, it will be of great benefit!"

Dari Tathagata could not help but be surprised:

"I, in the position of Emperor Master, control the position of Dari Tathagata, and am already one of the three leaders of the Esoteric sect, and I mirror Shakyamuni Buddha. If I obtain this heavenly god image of unknown origin, what benefit would it be?"

The Shangqing cultivator laughed: "That is the power of the Jade Purity, which has rarely manifested since the beginning of Taoism!"

"It is the incarnation of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning!"

"And what the Esoteric sect calls the Primordial Buddha is the 'Original Buddha,' which is precisely one of the 'Primordial Beginnings'! If you obtain this divine form, perhaps it will allow you to glimpse the position of the Primordial Buddha!"

The light manifested by Dari Tathagata suddenly became intense!

"So that's how it is!"
