As Shi Xuan drew a line with his finger, a twisted and hideous black crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Penglai Island. Purple lightning danced around it like electric snakes. In the blink of an eye, the black crack turned into a door that flashed with purple lightning and let out a series of loud thunder.
The loud thunder shocked many disciples in Penglai Island. They couldn't help but look up. There were no dark clouds and lightning, so where did the thunder come from? Could it be that an enemy was attacking?!
When they raised their heads, all of them were dumbstruck. Because there was a terrifying violet colored lightning door above Dubhe Peak, and behind the lightning door was a vast expanse of dark chaos that seemed to contain countless mysterious, profound, and indescribable Dao Seed characters.
Then, they saw a cyan robe waving, growing larger and larger. Inside the robe, a world of multi-colored lightning appeared. Above the world, a foot-long bright purple lightning shot out, bringing along the shadow of the world and plunging into the dark chaos.
The chaos shook and immediately Yin and Yang were divided. Clear rose and turbid fell. Earth, fire, wind, and water erupted and the five elements were born.
"The creation of heaven and earth, the scene of creation." Hua Qian Luo stood outside her cave abode. She was intoxicated by the scene and she muttered to herself.
When she received guidance from Ancestor Stone, she wanted to comprehend the aura of creation in the small chiliocosm. For this, she even deliberately controlled the speed of her advancement to Yin Master. Unfortunately, it was all for naught. Only now did she see the mystery of creation. How could she not be excited and immersed in it?
She had some experience. The other disciples, including Elder Yin Shen, couldn't even speak. They were completely immersed in the scene of creation. They forgot the passage of time, forgot the clamor of the mortal world, and even forgot their own existence.
Only the Spiritual Masters beside or behind Shi Xuan could maintain their state of mind because they had achieved Primordial Spirit and seen the aura of creation that Shi Xuan displayed. They carefully comprehended the scene of the creation of heaven and earth.
"No wonder the Hanjing Lord Of Heaven didn't let our disciples see the creation of the grotto-heaven. Without the Tai Chi Diagram, it's easy to lose one's mind. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages." Shi Xuan understood and waved his robe.
"Boom!" A deafening thunder exploded in the small chiliocosm. All the disciples couldn't help but tremble and wake up from their immersion. It was as if it was ringing in their hearts.
Along with this sound of thunder, a purple thunderbolt with a noble aura appeared in the stable small chiliocosm derived from the five elements. Due to the collision of Yin and Yang, it strangely appeared out of thin air. Countless dark clouds gathered, and a drop of rain fell. In the blink of an eye, it became a torrential downpour. An ocean was born.
Even within a radius of millions of miles from the Penglai Sect, including the entire East Sea, parts of the Central Plains, South China, and the North Pole, this terrifying thunder could be heard. Because of this, dark clouds were formed and misty drizzles began to fall. This was known as the "Universal Thunder".
Within this area, all the Immortals of the major sects were shocked. Only Meng Nishang and Lord of Heavenly Cold Mirror from the Moon Sect were watching the ceremony with their Immortals nearby. This was the foundation of the Penglai Sect that had been passed down for millions of years.
Thunderbolts of various colors were produced one after another, and the Spirit Space quickly evolved into thunderclouds. Lightning overflowed in all directions, looking ancient and terrifying.
The Minor Chiliocosm had entered the Primordial Thunderstorm Era!
The Perfected Persons of the other sects flew over one by one and were shocked by what they saw. Shi Xuan, on the other hand, kept shooting all kinds of materials into the thunderstorm sky that were either prepared in advance or made on the spot.
Part of the thunderclouds fell, and on the boundless primordial ocean, they either evolved into a large area of lightning water, giving the feeling of time passing, or they turned into lightning land, mountains, streams, rivers …
The Heavenly Grotto-Heaven Barrier was formed, and the laws of heaven and earth changed. The Nine Heavens Seal Ten Thousand Lightning Immortal Array was set up.
As soon as Shi Xuan raises his hand, the entire Penglai Island, together with the ocean within a radius of one hundred thousand miles, flies into the cave and connects with the earthly energy and the law of heaven and earth. Soon, a vast land with a high sky, light clouds, blue sea, and gentle breeze stabilizes in the small world, appearing behind the Guest Island that he didn't fly into.
From the outside, it looked like it was covered by countless white clouds, and the seven peaks and twenty-eight mountains were indistinct.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Shi Xuan smiled at Xu Zhenjun beside him and said, "Xu Zhenjun, please give our sect's cave a name."
Xu Zhenjun smiled and shook his head, "Do you want Lao Dao to give you a name for the cave that you've opened?"
"It's customary to give names to the pioneers," Perfected Jiang said with a smile. There was excitement in his expression. This way, even if Penglai's Celestials and Primordial Spirits were to be cut off in the future, with this cave and the celestial formation, they would be able to fight against the Second Tribulation Lord Of Heaven. If their sect had an ordinary Celestial or a Divine Spiritual Treasure to guard the formation eye, even the Third Tribulation mighty figures wouldn't be able to break through the barrier of the cave in a short period of time. This was the foundation of a sect that could be passed down for a long time.
Seeing that the two elders refused, Shi Xuan could only smile and say, "Our Penglai's inheritance came from Senior Shenxiao, why don't we call it the Shang Qing Shenxiao Boundary."
Xu Zhenjun, Spiritual Master Jiang, Chu Wan 'er, Xie Fangwei, and the other Perfected Masters all had a strange expression. Shi Xuan was indeed not good at naming.
But after thinking about it, they felt that the name was quite celestial, and it represented Penglai's line of inheritance from Shang Qing Daoist Yu Yu to Shenxiao Palace, and then to Penglai. So they all nodded, "Alright, we'll call it Shang Qing Shenxiao Boundary."
Shi Xuan was a little regretful. In terms of celestial flavor, he preferred names like Yu Qing Realm, Qing Wei Realm, and Xiao Qing Xu Realm. Unfortunately, they had nothing to do with Penglai.
"Congratulations to Perfected Lord Shi for opening the Shang Qing Shenxiao Boundary, congratulations to Perfected Lord Shi for passing through the third Celestial Blight!"
The Perfected Masters of the other sects congratulated him in unison, and their emotions were very complicated.
Especially the Emperor of Hell of the Netherworld Sect. He opened up a Hell Cave and used it to control the reincarnation of the big world. This was the long-cherished wish of the Netherworld Sect for more than 20,000 years. Unfortunately, he didn't see any hope. Not only did he not have the Six Paths of Reincarnation Celestial Technique, but he had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation for nearly 4,000 years, and he still hadn't touched a trace of the essence of the Great Way. At most, he could delay it for another 2,000 years before the fourth Heaven's Tribulation descended. He didn't know if he could go further before that.
As for the younger generation of the sect, the Emperor of the Underworld had fallen under the third Heaven's Tribulation, and there were a few new Primordial Spirits. There was also one who had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation, but none of them were as extraordinary as Penglai and Shi Xuan, who hadn't touched the essence of the Great Way.
Gui Yuanzi of the Ying Zhou Sect sighed softly. It had been nearly 2,000 years since he had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation. Like the Perfected Masters of the other big sects who were stuck in this realm, he still didn't have the slightest clue. Fortunately, there was still a lot of time. Fortunately, there was a genius like Xiao Zhenzi, who had quietly passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation. One day, he might be able to become a Celestial Being.
The Luofu Sect had been unlucky these years. Ge Huangting and the Great Boundless Flying Sword had both fallen under the Heaven's Tribulation. Fortunately, Qiao Mubai had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation, and together with Shu Xiaotian, he supported the Luofu Sect. However, they were still far from being able to pass through the fourth Heaven's Tribulation. Looking at the Penglai's Cave, his heart was moved for a moment. When would the Luofu Sect have a Lord Of Heaven who had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation and open up their own Cave?
Xu Yu from the Medicine King Sect had passed through the third Heaven's Tribulation not long ago, but he was the one with the highest cultivation in the sect. This was because the Hundred Herb Zhenren, Mu Weijun, had fallen under the Heaven's Tribulation, and among the seven new Primordial Spirit Zhenrens, most of them were still at the first Heaven's Tribulation and ordinary. There were only two who had passed through the second Heaven's Tribulation. She had all kinds of feelings about Shi Xuan opening up the Penglai's Cave, but in the end, she calmed down. She took a light breath and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew, and forget to look at the road under your feet." Qin Sheng looked at the scene in front of him with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
His blood and Qi were like water, but his eyes were cold and emotionless. From time to time, wisps of ferocious and terrifying black gas appeared. He thought leisurely, "When I cultivate the Taishi Heavenly Devil Qi to the fifth level, I will have the hope to touch the essence of the Great Way of Evil. However, if I touch the Great Way by relying on the Celestial Skill of a higher level, I will feel that my foundation is not stable. I can't rush this, and I need to slowly strengthen my foundation. Otherwise, if the successor of the Taishi Heavenly Devil Book did not die during the Primordial Spirit, but fell under the fourth Heaven's Tribulation, he would be laughed at for ten thousand years."
Xue He Laozu, who was beside him, still looked the same as before. He was bald and old, and his smile was calm.
The Heavenly Fire Clan had been at the bottom of the few major sects all these years, and they felt even more melancholy.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands and bowed to the people around him, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for coming to attend the ceremony. If you are free, you can come to my clan as a guest."
"We came uninvited, and we really don't have the face to disturb you. We will take our leave now." Under such emotions, the few Zhenrens did not want to stay in the Shangqing Shenxiao world in Penglai, so they took their leave one after another.
Shi Xuan did not ask them to stay. After they left, he smiled and said to Xu Zhenjun, Meng Nishang, and the others, "In these few thousand years, the number of Primordial Spirit Zhenrens in Yu Yutian has gradually increased due to the change in the environment and atmosphere. In another two to three thousand years, with the impact of so many Zhenrens who have gone through three tribulations, there should be two to three Celestial Immortals."
"There are many Zhenrens who have gone through three tribulations who can't touch the essence of the Great Dao. I'm afraid they will dissipate their cultivation and reincarnate before the fourth Heavenly Tribulation arrives," Meng Nishang replied lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhenren Jiang's eyes flickered slightly.
After sending Meng Nishang and the others away, Shi Xuan joked, "It's a pity that the Instant of Forgetfulness Fruit will only mature in 1,600 years. Otherwise, we can hold a dharma assembly to celebrate the opening of the Grotto-heaven. Otherwise, we should have delayed teaching the Shenxiao Cave Truth Treasured Scripture back then. When the Grotto-heaven is opened, wouldn't it be better to send down the Qi of Merit?"
After returning from the Guang Han Sect, Shi Xuan passed down the Shenxiao Cave Truth Treasured Scripture and gave a public lecture on Dao. It did not touch on the specific cultivation method, but only the true meaning of the Great Dao other than creation. At that time, the Qi of Merit fell down, and it was a spectacular sight.
Shi Xuan even suspected that when the Master of Creation helped Lady Yu to perfect the cultivation method and gave it to her, there was a cosmic level of Merit.
"Little Shi, you seem to be in a good mood. It's time for a statue of you in the Ancestral Hall." Xu Zhenjun smiled. There were Ancestral Masters in every generation, but they were only recorded in the ancient books of the sect. Currently, there were only two who could have statues in the Ancestral Hall. One was Ancestral Master Song, and the other was the first Celestial Immortal of the sect, Xu Zhenjun. Now, it was time to add Shi Xuan, who opened the Grotto-heaven for the sect!
Then, Xu Zhenjun's expression turned serious. "Lao Dao just watched the opening of the Grotto-heaven and had an epiphany. He is ready to trigger the fourth Heavenly Tribulation."
Shi Xuan nodded. "Then, disciple wishes Xu Zhenjun that you will become a Celestial again."
…
When the Tai Xiao Dao Lightning was successfully defeated by Xu Zhenjun, Shi Xuan smiled. It was time for him to travel again and make up for the hidden dangers of not being tempered enough before the third Heaven's Blight.
It would take 2,400 years for a Celestial Art to advance from Level 7 to Level 8, and 3,600 years for it to advance from Level 8 to Level 9. With so much time, it was very likely that before he could cultivate the Celestial Art, his Heavenly Tribulation would already be hanging over him. Therefore, Shi Xuan could only temper himself while cultivating. In any case, he was fully prepared, so he was not afraid of a battle.
"The fourth Heaven's Blight requires two things. One is the aura needed for the Dao Heart Decay secret treasure to transcend the tribulation. In order to deal with the Dao of Slaughter and to set up a trap for Shenhuang, I have to constantly temper myself and refine my Dao Heart. Perhaps I have to return to the mortal world … Thinking about it this way, there are really many things to do."
Shi Xuan leisurely stood up, and with a flash of light, he disappeared from the Grotto-heaven.
