Volume 1 Chapter 166: Grand Gathering at TianDang Mountain

  About his own thoughts, someone actually understands him better than himself and even more deeply! Zhuangzi was also shocked when he first saw this, and didn't expect the other party to perfectly achieve this step, thoroughly perfecting it!

  Li Er felt much better after reading this, the Tao Te Ching was improved, he was overjoyed! The sadness brought by Sakyamuni was offset, and now he still had a little excitement.

  "This time Mount Tai grand gathering, you are going for sure!" Li Er laughed and then took a sip of tea.

  "When I come back, I hope you've already entered the realm of enlightenment." Zhuangzi nodded his head. His good friend's mood recovered, and he was also overjoyed, all thanks to Bodhi Patriarch, otherwise it would be hard to achieve this step!

  Li Er suddenly came to a realization, the first sentence of the Tao Te Ching was perfected because of that Bodhi old ancestor he had been feeling uneasy about. So, he put down the tea in his hand and fell into deep thought. As for Bodhi, he now seemed to feel not so repelled by him. At least, the other party did not speak wildly or boastfully, and what he said was indeed done to some extent!

  It was just this point that made Li Er look at him with new eyes! Given enough time, he was confident that he could also perfect the Tao Te Ching, but his opponent clearly spent much less time on it than himself! As for himself, Li Er was very confident, but not blindly so. He knew his own weight and measure, and if he were to perfect the first sentence, it would take at least a year!

  But the other party had already written it down after reading it. This kind of insight is hard for anyone to match.

  "Not bad." With a confident smile, Li Er also gave Jiang Xiaoyu this evaluation.

  "Amazing, indeed amazing! Zhuangzi smiled and took a sip of tea. "After the Tianhuang Mountain grand gathering, I'll invite Bodhi brother to come to my Taoist temple as a guest. Now do you think that mountain range is worth letting go or not?"

  Li Er did not speak, because he had no refutation, so this is a kind of default. But now the most headache is still the matter of Tian Di Da Jie. If Dao De Jing can be completely perfect, then he is already close to the position of Sheng Ren.

  "After all, we are neighbors, let him come over and sit sometimes, or we can go over and sit too." Li Er's attitude finally eased up. And it was a 360-degree beautiful turn! From the initial disgust, it had already changed to "neighbors" in his words!

  ……

  ……

  Jiang Xiaoyu was still in seclusion. He naturally didn't know about Li Er's change of attitude towards him. The second sacred card was stuck on the Huolong boundary and couldn't reach its limit! It had been seven days since he went into seclusion, and there were only eight more days until the Tianhang Mountain grand gathering. The volcano was constantly being refined, it was just a matter of time.

  The most important thing now is still to reach the limit of the second volume! There are about seven days left, and Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't have much confidence in this time. What will it be like when the dragon reaches its limit? In other words, how can we reach the limit? Continue to expand the divine dragon? This method is not very good, just blindly expanding without any meaning.

  Reaching the limit is a qualitative transformation, and breaking through the limit is a sublimation of quality! The concepts of both are very clear in Jiang Xiaoyu's mind, so he didn't rush to succeed, but instead carefully thought about what to do next.

  Time was passing bit by bit, but Jiang Xiao Yu's heart didn't have any anxiety. At most, he would arrive late at the Tian Xuan Mountain gathering, or maybe not go at all. What did it matter? Because of this mindset, inspiration struck him, and he seemed to grasp something. No! It shouldn't be "seemed", but rather he had actually grasped something!

  Only the second volume of the body's inner divine dragon is flying and circling around the dantian, emitting endless spiritual energy! The realm of Huà Lóng is different from the previous three realms. Because the next realm after Huà Lóng is Shén Qiáo, and entering Shén Qiáo allows one to possess a lifespan, which has an essential difference with the previous realms in terms of quality. So Huà Lóng should be laying the foundation for Shén Qiáo!

  After understanding this point, the divine dragon in the dantian was seen soaring in the clouds and fog, constantly sublimating! When it came out of the clouds and fog again, it had turned into a fierce tiger, and then transformed into a golden-winged roc bird!

  Jiang Xiaoyu did not reach the so-called limit, but directly broke through the limit! This limit is the true meaning of the Dragon Transformation Realm, changing and transforming infinitely! The dragon is supreme and unparalleled, so it can naturally ride the clouds and fog, changing and transforming infinitely! Since it has already changed and transformed infinitely, then turning into a divine bridge would not be difficult at all.

  After many changes, it finally turned into a golden bridge. The bridge seemed to have no end in sight. At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu entered a very strange state of mind. The consciousness of the second Ben Zun stood on the divine bridge and saw that the eyes of heaven and earth had also changed. Just like when he broke through to the Rongxuan realm, the world in his eyes had changed!

  No, his own perception has become clearer! The two realms are in different bodies, but the perception is shared! Jiang Xiaoyu now feels that his perception has also been greatly enhanced, and his divine consciousness has become much stronger! He tried to expand his divine consciousness a bit, before he could only expand it to about 1,000 meters, but now... it seems endless!

  In the blink of an eye, his divine sense had already spread to the Taoist gate, and all the scenery at the Taoist gate was in his divine sense! He also found Li Er and Zhuangzi, who were laughing and chatting with each other, without noticing his divine sense.

  Finally, he withdrew his divine consciousness and opened his eyes. "Three thousand miles! My divine consciousness can actually expand to three thousand miles! At this rate of development, do I not need to cut off the Tao, enlighten the Tao, or merge with the Tao in order to enter the realm of a saint?"

  The route is different, and the ability to become a saint is also different! Some saints can pluck stars and wear the moon, which is the strength of the flesh. Some saints can descend their own thoughts at any time and place, which is called manifestation! This is the sublimation of the soul and the strength of thought!

  Jiang Xiaoyu's divine consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, and it's possible that he can really achieve the level of a saint! Becoming a saint... this word was very distant for Jiang Xiaoyu before, and he had also pretended to be one. But now, he could feel the distance between himself and it. It seemed not so far away after all, which was a strange feeling.

  After entering the Divine Bridge, Jiang Xiaoyu calculated the time and found that ten days had already passed. There were still more than four days left. The volcano behind him had not yet fully ascended, but it had stopped ascending. There was no way around it; his cultivation had been completely consumed by him, and he could stop for now.

  After checking his 100 volcanoes, there didn't seem to be any changes on the surface. The key was in the internal sublimation! Even Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know how the volcano would develop from now on and what exactly would erupt from inside. He had tried to probe into the situation inside the volcano but was blocked by a strange energy, unable to investigate.

  "My combat power has increased significantly, at least now I can match the current Tiger King. I can be evenly matched with him! However, he cut off another path. So my current strength will be even stronger! But I also have some trump cards." Jiang Xiaoyu compared his own strength with that of the Tiger King and finally came to this conclusion.

  The second Honored One's promotion to the first heaven of Shen Bridge is considered the end. He no longer has much time to comprehend. After all, Shen Bridge is even more mysterious than before! On the golden bridge of the second Honored One, some flying birds and beasts, patterns of all living things are also carved! This is the basis for the mystery of Huálóng境界, some ordinary Shen Bridges don't have these!

  Counting the second master, Fangcun Mountain now has a third great master of Shenqiao! However, the second master cannot reveal his face for the time being. After all, he has just broken through to Shenqiao and his realm is easily recognizable at a glance. He still needs to wait until he becomes a powerful overlord before he can be released, and walk in the world as Zhang Fei.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry about this, some things can only come slowly. However, the short ten-day period allowed the second Zun to rise from the initial realm to the level of Shenqiao, and Jiang Xiaoyu also broke an extremely strong record! Whether there will be anyone after him is unknown, but he is absolutely unprecedented!

  Four days later, Jiang Xiaoyu tidied up his realm and then walked out of his closed place without notifying anyone. He broke through space and went towards the direction of Tianpeng Mountain.

  ……

  ……

  Tiandang Mountain is now bustling with activity, more so than ever before. The divine bridges' mighty warriors, who were once hard to come by in the mortal world, are now ubiquitous! The number of divine bridges has exceeded one hundred, but compared to the ancient era's sacred realm, the gap is still enormous! In that era, saints roamed freely, and divine bridges were as common as dogs! Now, even a single divine bridge is considered an extremely powerful cultivator!

  Jiang Xiaoyu had already rushed over from Ximeng, and the Tianhang Mountains were in the southern wilderness! As soon as he entered the Tianhang Mountains, Jiang Xiaoyu saw Zhao Wenshi standing outside the mountain gate, greeting the various divine bridges.

  Jiang Xiaoyu walked over with a smile and said: "Brother Zhao!"

  After hearing the voice, Zhao Wenshi saw that it was Jiang Xiaoyu, and his smile grew even brighter. He laughed and said: "Brother Bodhi is really making us wait, but you've finally arrived! Come on in, come on in, the seats have already been arranged inside. With Brother Bodhi's abilities, it's only fitting to sit on the second floor!"

  "I'll also leave and wait for Brother Zhao inside!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and after the other person nodded in agreement, he left the mountain gate and walked towards the interior.

  On the mountain of Tiandang, there is a magnificent palace! That's where the gods gather! After entering, Jiang Xiaoyu looked around and found that many people had already taken their seats. Among them were many unfamiliar faces, as well as several familiar ones.

  Tiger King Yang Qian is indeed present!

  At the moment he stepped into the hall, many people's eyes turned to him involuntarily. Because they hadn't noticed this divine bridge in front of them before! It naturally aroused their curiosity, wanting to see who was the mysterious figure!

  The banquet was divided into four levels, each level's span not being very large. Among them, Zhuangzi sat on the second level, and as soon as he saw Jiang Xiaoyu, he immediately stood up and walked over, laughing: "Bodhi brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come, sit next to me!"

  "Excellent!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and followed Zhuangzi to sit in his previous position.

  This move shocked many people, who is Zhuangzi? One of the leaders of the Taoist school, although not in the top ten list, but absolutely has similar strength and realm to Laozi!

  Even such a strong presence, must be greeted with a smile, so who is this young man who looks too young? What did Zhuangzi just call him? Bodhi brother?! Is it the master of Fangcun Mountain, the old ancestor Bodhi, who has been rumored recently?

  Everyone was stunned, if it was him. Then Zhuangzi's actions didn't seem out of place either. Hu Wang Yangqian, Sakyamuni, Zhuangzi and Jiang Xiaoyu were the only four people sitting in the second row at present. Among them, Hu Wang Yangqian had a strong killing intent in his eyes when looking at Jiang Xiaoyu, but he hid it very well, not even Jiang Xiaoyu noticed.

  Hei Da Han is his junior, Yang Qian couldn't find him, so he naturally vented his anger on Jiang Xiao Yu. Sakyamuni's gaze never fell on Jiang Xiao Yu from start to finish, because he thought it was unnecessary. Some things are better left in the heart, putting them on one's face is too obvious.

  "Whoosh!"

  A gentle breeze blew by. A man in a golden robe appeared on the second floor of the banquet hall, and then he directly found a seat to sit down, coincidentally sitting next to Jiang Xiaoyu.

  "Golden Winged Dapeng King, the overlord of the Divine Mountain!" Some people recognized each other's identities and immediately spoke out.

  Originally, she still felt uneasy with a stranger sitting next to her. Jiang Xiaoyu still felt uncomfortable. But after learning the other person's identity, Jiang Xiaoyu maintained a smile towards him. It turned out to be Jin Peng's father, Da Peng Wang!

  "I've long admired your great name, Bodhi. The young one has been constantly whispering in my ear." Da Peng Wang smiled generously.

  "Ling Lang's natural talent is rare and precious, I'm just being a good Samaritan." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled.

  This conversation probably only the two of them could understand, Jiang Xiaoyu gave Jin Peng Dapeng Wang a punch, and the opponent's combat power is now rapidly soaring! After learning about this matter, Dapeng Wang was naturally overjoyed.

  The laughter stopped, and the King of Dapeng scanned the surroundings, glancing at Yang Qian and Sakyamuni before saying with a hint of a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Bodhi. If anyone dares to start a fight in this grand gathering, I will definitely strike them down!"

  Bang!

  As soon as the words fell, Tiger King Yang Qian slapped his palm on the table, making a huge noise. It's unknown what material this table was made of, but when faced with Yang Qian's angry palm, it only slightly shook twice without suffering any damage!

  "What's wrong, aren't you convinced?" The Big Peng King smiled lightly and didn't take the Tiger King's actions to heart.

  "Hmph! Don't be too full of yourself, you'll have your own bitter fruit to eat!" Yang Qian coldly snorted and sat back down.

  The scene was tense, with everyone's heart racing. What's going on? How did things escalate so quickly? Judging from the situation, it seemed that Yang Qian and Bodhi Old Ancestor had some past grievances, while Great Peng Wang was clearly helping Bodhi Old Ancestor.

  But that's not right! Yang Qian and Da Peng Wang, aren't they both from Shen Shan? Few people know the true situation of Shen Shan. Currently, in Shen Shan, Da Peng Wang and Yuan Huang are working together to isolate Hu Wang Yang Qian. The grudges between them don't need to be mentioned, it was better before, not as obvious as now. But since Sun Xiao Kong killed Yang Lie, both sides have completely torn their faces apart.

  Jiang Xiaoyu just smiled and nodded in appreciation of Da Peng Wang's kindness, indicating that he understood. Then, he quietly handed a book to Da Peng Wang and whispered: "Da Peng Wang Fist."

  The Great Peng King's face remained still, but his hand stretched out to take the book. As for the Great Peng King's fist, he was also very eager, but that book was very strange and could only be read by Jin Peng, no one else! Moreover, this dead kid didn't even tell him the method of cultivation! It made him so angry that his teeth itched! But now, wasn't the old ancestor Bodhi giving him the method of cultivation? This bear child, when he gets back, will still need to be beaten up!

  After a while, everyone started talking and laughing again, and the atmosphere finally became relaxed once more.

  "Is this the legendary Golden Winged Peng King? I am Zhuangzi, and Bodhi is also a good friend of mine. Today we are gathered together, why don't we have a drink first?" Zhuangzi said with a smile as he raised his wine cup.

  "Not bad." Jiang Xiaoyu also smiled and said.

  "Then let's get it done!" Da Peng Wang laughed loudly.

  Three people raised their wine cups and drank the liquor into their bellies! The grand gathering at Tian Dang Mountain didn't know who was hosting, but the taste of this liquor is indeed very good! Jiang Xiao Yu had a feeling of not being satisfied, so he drank another cup alone!

  The three of them chatted and laughed together, just like old friends who had known each other for many years.

  At this time, two more people walked in from the outside of the temple gate. One was at the Three Heavens of Shen Bridge and the other was at the First Heaven of Shen Bridge! The latter's breath was not too calm, obviously having just stepped into the realm of Shen Bridge not long ago.

  These two were the master of the Xuanming Prefecture and the Grand Elder. After they came in, they also found a place to sit down, sat with familiar people, and quickly blended into the atmosphere. It's not clear what was discussed in between, but the Grand Elder couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiaoyu, his face eventually becoming very gloomy, his body moving as if he wanted to get up and walk towards him, but was pulled back by the master of Xuanming Prefecture.

  "It's better to have one less thing than one more, the other party can sit on the second floor, their strength is not something you can contend with! Do you want to bring a disaster of extinction to the Xuanyin House?" The house master transmitted his voice.

  "Is this all there is to my son's ugliness?" The great elder was unwilling to accept!

  "Unless you are stronger than him, otherwise it's just a matter of resignation." The master of the house was helpless. Circumstances were more powerful than people, and this was also an unavoidable situation.

  The old man was not reconciled! However, he also knew that he was not as good as his opponent, so he could only temporarily swallow the bitter water in his belly and couldn't spit it out! And just at this time, the banquet on the field was almost full.

  Only the four positions above the first floor have not appeared yet. Three of them are naturally Shi Huang and others, but who is the fourth position? Not only Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled, but also other Shenqiao disciples were very puzzled!

  "Too late for this old man!" An old man suddenly appeared in the great hall.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly changed, looking very strange. Isn't this the old man who dug his own grave in the ancient ruins?!

  Two updates with 10,000 words each, I'm going to sleep now! (....)
