Chapter 1 The Famous Dragon Tiger Mountain

"As everyone knows, Dragon Tiger Mountain is not only our Shenzhou's famous 5A scenic spot, but also one of the birthplaces of Taoist culture. Legend has it that Ancestor Celestial Master Zhang Daoling refined pills here. When the pill refinement was successful, the Qi transformed into dragons and tigers, so it is also called Dragon Tiger Mountain."

In front of the Zhengyi Taoist gate of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the host, wearing a light gray women's professional outfit, introduced with a smile. Next to her were tourists, cameras, and people specially participating in this publicity event. Dragon Tiger Mountain is different from those hidden sects. Even ordinary people know that this is the Zhengyi Taoist altar.

Therefore, Dragon Tiger Mountain also participates in some secular cultural promotion activities.

The old Taoist Zhang Ruosu, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, participated in the interview.

Standing there with a celestial air, he was actually already distracted, silently calculating the time.

Thinking about how long it would be before it was over.

After dealing with the host's questions.

Suddenly, the old Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly and saw the young Taoist running out of the mountain gate. He nodded to the host, indicating that he had something to do, and then walked over. The young man with a flame mark between his eyebrows lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, something happened."

Zhang Ruosu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Senior Brother, look at this."

A Xuan handed over the mobile phone in his hand. It was the login system of the Dragon Tiger Mountain customer service Taoist priest. A line of text inside read: 'Sakurajima's Amenominakanushi wants to steal the First Emperor's Mausoleum.' He said worriedly, "Senior Brother, look, what should we do about this?"

"Although we don't know who sent the message yet."

"But I just divined it, and the heavenly secrets are indeed being obscured."

"It's very likely to be true."

Zhang Ruosu nodded and said:

"Since you have already divined it, then this matter should be about right."

A Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Then what should we do about this? Sakurajima, Sakurajima, should we tell Curator Wei and ask Curator Wei for help?"

Wei Yuan...

The old Taoist Zhang Ruosu was thoughtful.

Last time, that guy set off a big firework in Sakurajima, causing serious opposition among the transcendent factions in Sakurajima.

The volcanic ash also seriously affected the circuit problems in Sakurajima, causing a series of economic and political problems there. To shift the conflict, they started the usual public opinion war with Goryeo again. It seems possible to let him go again this time.

Wait…

This time it's not in Sakurajima, it's in Shenzhou.

Zhang Ruosu suddenly felt a bit of a toothache.

Thinking about what might happen, he felt a bit of a headache. He turned his head to look at A Xuan, who seemed quite expectant, shook his head, and said, "Let's not let him take action in this matter."

A Xuan, who didn't have the chance to taste Wei's cooking, oh-ed with disappointment.

The old Taoist touched the young Taoist's head and said earnestly:

"You're still young, so you don't know how serious this matter is."

"Remember, for matters within Shenzhou, don't look for that guy unless it's absolutely necessary."

A Xuan was stunned for a moment, but seeing his senior brother's serious expression, he honestly nodded, and then thought of something else and asked:

"What about outside of Shenzhou?"

"Outside of Shenzhou?"

Zhang Ruosu was taken aback, smiled casually, and joked:

"Then, the Taoist sect will give priority to 'deploying' Curator Wei."

……………………

A Xuan had not yet understood the old Taoist's helplessness from this joke with a meme.

A staff member from the publicity interview event came over and politely said, "Taoist Zhang, we plan to take a group photo of you and the children as a souvenir. Do you have time now?"

"Yes, yes."

The old Taoist nodded with a smile.

He patted A Xuan's shoulder, signaling the little Taoist not to worry.

Then he walked over to take a group photo with the children, and calmly stretched out his fingers to make a V-sign in front of the camera. After that, there were other promotional activities. The old Taoist turned his head and smiled at the staff, "Dragon Tiger Mountain has prepared some meals. You can go to the back mountain and dine with the disciples."

"This old Taoist will have to excuse himself for a while."

A Xuan was stunned and said, "Senior Brother, are you going down the mountain?"

He hesitated slightly and said, "But, there's still a seal on the mountain. You can't leave for too long."

"The seal has been fluctuating. I just looked at it, and today's seal is not very stable. At most, at most in half an hour, the seal may have problems."

The old man smiled and said easily:

"Half an hour is so long."

"It's just right, I can stretch my muscles and bones."

He stepped down the mountain.

Tiangang Thirty-Six Divine Powers.

Flying Body and Drifting Traces.

Hidden in the heavens and earth, traveling within the four seas.

In the blink of an eye, the old Taoist had already flown out of the mountain. A Xuan was stunned and hurriedly ran back to the Taoist temple, found a sword, raised it, and shouted, "Senior Brother, weapon, weapon." But the Taoist had already disappeared, so he had to lower his head and put the sword away.

The long sword is three feet and three inches long, and there are three talismans on the scabbard, with a yellow talisman sealing the sword body.

This sword has a name, called the Three-Three Sword.

One produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

It is also said that heaven, earth, and I are considered three.

The young Taoist put the sword away.

He felt helpless towards his senior brother, who suddenly became arbitrary and reckless when he was in the mood.

From the tones of the various high-ranking cultivators who came and went, he could also piece together what his senior brother looked like when he was young. Even a sword, on the surface, seemed like a term for numerology, but in reality, it was extremely arrogant. Others said that heaven, earth, and man were the three talents, but he wanted to be on par with heaven and earth, saying heaven, earth, and I.

How could he not be arrogant?

He didn't know how such an arrogant swordsman had become like this now...

…………………

The sea between Sakurajima and Shenzhou.

A figure swept across the sea. It was a great youkai with wings growing from its back, wearing Sakurajima yamabushi clothing, and carrying a katana at its waist. It was one of the three most famous youkai in Sakurajima, but it still had to carefully avoid the Xiangliu in the Japanese waters.

Then it circled around a large circle and went to the eastern coast again.

Planning to land and go ashore from here.

Its origins were originally fierce beasts of Shenzhou from the Shan Hai era. It left Shenzhou in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and arrived in Sakurajima to avoid disaster. It was considered an old acquaintance of Xu Fu. Now, looking in the direction of Shenzhou from afar, it sighed in its heart. It had been more than two thousand years since it had returned, and it inevitably felt a little restless in its heart.

The land of Shenzhou is vast, and its resources are far more abundant than this place of Sakurajima.

It still remembered that many places produced precious jade, spirit stones, and some precious medicinal materials.

This time, it could go to Shenzhou and spend forty-nine days refining that jade. During this time, it could naturally go to various places in Shenzhou to collect treasures and improve its cultivation. As for whether there were dangers in Shenzhou, it didn't care much. With extraordinary origins and having lived for three thousand years without dying, it considered its cultivation to be at the first-class level.

Shenzhou is so big, and it relies on the wind to conceal its aura.

How could it be discovered?

With a flap of its wings, it instantly crossed an extremely long distance. The sea surface was torn by the wind, leaving traces of waves. Looking at the boundless sea ahead, the great tengu's eyes narrowed slightly, and it suddenly saw an old Taoist standing on the sea, wearing a gray Taoist robe, with wrinkles on his face and a gentle expression.

The old Taoist politely cupped his hands and bowed, smiling and saying:

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

"Ahead is my Shenzhou sea area."

"Fellow Taoist is a Sakurajima demon cultivator, you cannot pass. If you are here unintentionally, please go back."

Seeing that the old Taoist was speaking in a humble tone, wearing a plain Taoist robe, and had nothing special about him, the great tengu sneered and directly flapped its wings, crossing the boundary of the Shenzhou sea area in his mouth at a speed almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, entering the Shenzhou sea area, and sneeringly heading towards the coastal city.

It was mocking the Taoist in its heart for not knowing whether to live or die, and daring to compete with it in speed, when it heard a polite and peaceful voice ringing unhurriedly behind it, saying:

"Fellow Taoist, this place is already my Shenzhou sea area."

"Please go back."

The great tengu's expression froze slightly.

Its wings fluttered wildly, instantly crossing a hundred miles.

Turning its head, it saw the old Taoist next to it as if he were taking a stroll. The latter even smiled politely.

??!

The expression on the great tengu's face was as if it had seen a ghost.

It suddenly roared, its wings fluttering, stirring the sea with a gale, forming a huge sea vortex, directly engulfing the Taoist, planning to tear him apart, and was about to turn around and leave when it suddenly heard the sound of sleeves shaking. The huge sea storm was directly shattered. The white-haired, topknotted old Taoist stood in the void, his palm slightly pressed down.

Tiangang Thirty-Six Divine Powers.

Turning Rivers and Overturning Seas.

At this moment, it was used in reverse. The turbulent ocean rose up, and then settled down. The water of unknown weight re-entered the sea, scattering like fine rain under the sunlight, but it did not wet the old Taoist's sleeves at all, but made those pupils even clearer.

The old Taoist was still holding a mobile phone in his left hand, pressing the record button, and said in a calm tone:

"The first warning was ineffective."

"The second warning was ineffective."

"According to the rules of the transcendent world, the use of force is permitted."

He put away his mobile phone and muttered to himself:

"After all, these are the rules that I and my old friends came up with when we were young."

"It wouldn't look good if I broke them myself."

"Dragon Tiger Mountain still needs face."

"We can't be like you, who can sit back on their own shit."

His voice paused slightly.

The old Taoist stood in the void, as if realizing what he had said, he suddenly spat a few times, wiped his mouth, and repeatedly cupped his hands and bowed to all directions.

"This doesn't count. As a monk, I didn't intend to speak filthy words."

"It's just that seeing this filthy thing, I couldn't help but get a little upset."

"Please don't blame me, Ancestral Masters, don't blame me."

The great tengu: "…………"

Or, should I leave?

The old Taoist's voice paused, and he raised his eyes to look at the great tengu who was preparing to take advantage of the situation to leave. The sky behind him seemed to instantly lower, gales rose, and low thunder ran behind the old Taoist, causing his white hair to rise slightly. Just like flying sand and rocks, the Tiangang divine power created by the Taiping Department, the Zhengyi Department also has the Tiangang magic created by their lineage.

Tiangang Thirty-Six, Earthly Fiends Seventy-Two.

There are also Three Thousand Great Daos and Eight Hundred Heretical Paths.

Zhang Ruosu took only one of the paths of attack and killing.

Driving thunder and lightning, praying for rain and clear skies, curing evil and subduing demons, warding off locusts and eliminating plagues, refining and delivering wandering souls.

Tiangang Thirty-Six Divine Powers, attack and kill first.

Mastering the Five Thunderbolts.

Thunder is the command of heaven.

??!

The great tengu's pupils contracted. In an instant, it had the illusion that its body was shrinking to the extreme, while the old Taoist opposite was becoming extremely large, as if occupying the heavens and earth, covered in dark clouds, and overlooking it indifferently. That gaze did not carry murderous intent, but it was just as if weeds growing on a wall would be pulled out, purely making one stiff.

"Right, I just said, you're not allowed to come in..."

"Can't you hear me?"
