It Turned Out to Be Zhen Yuanzi

A place where pines and cypresses remain evergreen, a place of lush forests and tall bamboos.

A hazy, ethereal mist hangs in the air, and rays of light descend in countless splendors.

This place is the location of the famous sacred mountain in the Primordial World, Longevity Mountain.

A simple and natural Daoist temple stands on the mountain.

The Daoist temple is decorated with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, truly declaring it "the abode of Old God, the home of Daoists who live as long as heaven."

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, quickly go to the backyard and get the Golden Striker and nine Ginseng Fruits."

"I'm going to visit a friend."

The two young Daoist boys, who were dozing off in the temple, were startled awake by the sound beside them.

He instantly snapped back to reality and stood solemnly.

He replied with a "Yes."

Only then did he quietly raise his head and look around.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyebrows immediately lit up with joy.

They pushed and shoved each other as they headed towards the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

Wuzhuang Temple is the Daoist temple of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi.

Although it was only a brief visit, it was similar to the cave heaven in Wuyi Mountain where Zhou Yuan lived.

These are all Grotto-heaven blessed land lands and grottoes.

A backyard is like a world unto itself.

In the backyard.

A towering tree, its canopy spreading out like an umbrella.

A rich, Innate Jia Wood element surrounded him, forming mist and endless brilliance.

This made the place seem like an ancient divine realm.

On top of the giant tree.

Each fruit, shimmering with a spiritual light, swayed in the wind like a newborn baby, emitting a unique fragrance.

Qingfeng and Mingyue arrived beneath the Ginseng Fruit.

First, he bowed to the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root.

"By order of my master, I shall retrieve nine Ginseng Fruits."

Having said that, the two Attendant Boys began to work together.

Before long, Qingfeng held up the Golden Striker, while the young Mingyue had neatly arranged nine Ginseng Fruits on the tray beside him.

Although they were both playful.

However, they dared not neglect the task personally entrusted to them by the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi.

"I wonder which old friend Master is visiting this time."

"Is it the Empress Golden Mother of West Kunlun?"

"Or are they the three Celestial Venerables of Kunlun Mountain?"

"Is it still that Dao Lord Master from Fire Cloud Cave?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at the Ginseng Fruit on the tray.

A feeling of envy flashed through my mind.

Although this fruit is not from the original Ginseng Fruit, it is still incredibly valuable.

The two of them simply took a deep breath.

Then a stream of Jia wood essence entered the whole body through the nostrils.

Cleanse your magical power and refine your Dao body.

"In the past, when Master went to visit friends, he would only bring two or three Ginseng Fruits."

"Why did you bring so much this time?"

"That's a bit too generous."

If this continues, the master will squander all the wealth of Wuzhuang Temple.

The young Mingyue muttered to himself.

But he dared not show it on his face.

Before long, the two arrived at the main hall of the Daoist temple.

Inside the main hall, the characters for "Heaven" and "Earth" are enshrined.

Amidst wisps of blue smoke.

A Daoist priest wearing Purple Gold Crown and Carefree Crane Cloak appeared on the futon.

This figure has the appearance of Attendant Boy, but the face of a beautiful woman.

Three whiskers fluttered beneath his chin, and raven feathers adorned his temples.

They were truly upright and virtuous men, living in the ethereal realm of immortals.

"Greetings, Master."

When Qingfeng and Mingyue and Mingyue saw the appearance of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, they hurriedly bowed and paid their respects.

Zhen Yuanzi Fly Whisk his whisk and with a slight shake of his sleeve, he put the nine Ginseng Fruits into his wide sleeve.

Only one sentence remains:

"You all must guard the gates well."

"No slacking off is allowed."

"I'll be right back."

When the Qingfeng and Mingyue looked up again, the Daoist priest was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi rode on Auspicious Clouds.

It slowly traversed through the Grand Void.

He gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Dao Brother Three Pure Ones already hinted to the immortals in the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate sect on Kunlun Mountain that if the opportunity arose, they could invite Dao Lord Taiyuan to the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate."

'Unexpectedly, this task has fallen to me.'

This Dao Lord thought of the various pieces of information he had just gleaned from the Grand Void of Heavenly Secrets during his spiritual journey through the vast void.

My heart was filled with both joy and regret.

The Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate is about to open.

'Although I have gained some understanding of this immortal cultivation method, I wish to pass on this great art to future generations.'

'But how difficult it is to become the Mystic Gate Ancestor!'

Even if one comprehends it over several eons.

'It was still lacking that one crucial element of opportunity.'

'But now, Taiyuanzi has replenished this bit of fortune.'

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his long beard lightly.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes:

'However, it is probably impossible for this humble Daoist to monopolize the fortune of an entire lineage.'

This Dao Lord knew exactly what was going on.

Taiyuanzi is suspected to be an ancient relic from the primordial time before the world was even beginning to change.

Its incarnation even competed with the Ancestor Dragon for the position of Black Emperor.

Trying to take advantage of someone like that is like an old man hanging himself – it's suicide.

Although Zhen Yuanzi was also a top-tier Great Divine Ability User, he was only one step away from becoming Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate.

But he was different from killers like Minghe.

This Dao Lord has a much gentler temperament.

"The right path is to work together with Taiyuanzi to expand and grow this lineage, making the pie bigger."

Zhen Yuanzi had clear and bright features.

You have to give up something to gain something.

Although he held a highly respected position within the Xuanmen).

But it would give us one more powerful ally.

Even within the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate, it has quietly expanded its influence considerably.

Thinking about this...

A thought flashed through his mind.

The speed of the Auspicious Cloud beneath their feet instantly increased several times.

Hundred Flowers Valley.

Inside the bamboo house.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes.

A wisp of earth energy floated around him.

"The Inner Scenery Blessed Land Dharma Gate"

"We've finally figured it out."

Zhou Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling a surge of excitement.

The jade slip obtained from Liu Xuan had an astonishing origin.

It was passed down from the ancient Earthly Emperor Yue Jian Shi.

This is the method for creating a blessed land.

Based on this method, Zhou Yuan used the power of the Myriad Dao Book to deduce a way of creating blessed the Way of the Earth Immortals.

The four essential elements of spiritual practice are: Wealth, Companions, Dharma, Place.

The sacred caves of heaven and earth are things created by heaven and earth, from which Innate Spiritual Energy bursts forth, creating divine mountains and famous rivers.

'But the sacred cave is hidden within the earth's veins.'

'It will then be blocked by the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi.'

The extra wisp of turbid energy lowered the grade of this spiritual land by several degrees.

Moreover, as the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi increases, the sacred burial site will gradually disappear.

A region will then be completely reduced to a mundane place.

This also symbolizes the decline of heaven and earth.

The calamities of the Dharma's End and the decline of heaven and earth are also due to this.

'But this Inner Scenery Blessed Land method can connect to spiritual burial sites, creating blessed lands.'

A small auspicious burial site creates a small blessed land; a large auspicious burial site creates a large blessed land.

Zhou Yuan's mind stirred.

A wisp of magical power, imbued with pure energy, precisely located the spiritual cave beneath Hundred Flowers Valley.

Hundred Flowers Valley is where the Plant Spirits, such as Granny Huai, grow, so naturally there are spiritual caves there.

Zhou Yuan activated the magic power of the Earth Immortal path, and a pale yellow divine light gradually released the stagnant turbidity accumulated in the spiritual cave from the outside in.

It penetrated deep into the interior of the spiritual cave.

We carefully analyzed the Earth Vein Fiend Qi.

The Earth Vein Fiend Qi is extremely violent.

Only the pure Plant Spirits could barely soothe the nerves.

However, the magical power generated by the Inner Scenery Blessed Land Method created by Zhou Yuan is of the same origin as the Earth Fiend Qi, only it belongs to the Heavenly Purity within the Earthly Turbidity, thus it can enter the Mystic Gate Immortal Path Great Method.

Using this kind of magical power to purify the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi is twice as effective with half the effort.

As Zhou Yuan sorted through the Earth Vein Fiend Qi.

Strands of Mysterious Yellow Merit fell into Zhou Yuan's spiritual light.

'May you accumulate merit.'

'Indeed, it benefits heaven and earth.'

Zhou Yuan remained calm.

But the next moment, he was pleasantly surprised.

'I knew I hadn't gone the wrong way.'

Why do you think so?

It turned out that it happened the instant the spiritual burial site, blocked by the turbid energy of the earth's veins, was cleared.

A surge of earth energy rose from below and entered his dantian.

And a seed of magic quietly formed.

It then evolved into a hazy, interior setting.

The Inner Scenery Blessed Land was incredibly somber.

And within it, a spiritual cave is faintly visible, connected to the spiritual cave beneath Hundred Flowers Valley.

Zhou Yuan sensed that he could utilize the power of this spiritual acupoint for a short period of time, whenever he needed it.

However, one must grasp the cause and effect themselves.

After all, if we rely on the power of heaven and earth, we must repay the cause and effect of heaven and earth.

Under the watchful gaze of his primordial spirit, a wisp of fortune quietly settled into his Inner Scenery Blessed Land, the very root of the earth.

Another wisp of Blessing and Virtue energy was generated from the spiritual cave.

If we could sort out all the Spiritual Apertures in the spiritual veins beneath Hundred Flowers Valley...

This area may very well be transformed into a blessed and tranquil place.

In the future, as the Mystic Gate Immortal Path spreads widely, it will also lay the foundation for a lineage.

'If one day I could comb through all the spiritual caves in the Primordial Great World...'

'Then wouldn't the entire Primordial Great Land be under my control?'

'At that time, perhaps we can achieve great things by relying on this Inner Scenery Blessed Land.'

'But even with my limited abilities, it will take me quite some time to unravel a single acupoint.'

'And within a single sacred mountain, within a single spiritual vein, there are countless Spiritual Apertures.'

'To achieve such success is extremely difficult.'

But Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and another idea came to mind.

'If this blessed land's Dharma teachings were passed down...'

'I am the founder of the Dao.'

'Nature brings blessings through cause and effect, and good fortune bestows upon one.'

"The earth's veins that my disciples and followers have examined, and the Inner Scenery Blessed Lands they have constructed, naturally include a share of this humble Daoist's work."

'And this Inner Scenery Blessed Land within my Dao Body is the Earth Immortal Ancestral Court immortals.'

The Way of the Earth Immortal involves cultivating the inner landscape within the body, specifically the Pure Qi of Heaven.

External cultivation focuses on cultivating Blessing and Virtue, primarily by regulating the earth's veins Spiritual Aperture points to create a blessed land in reality.

While farming, we also cultivate ourselves while developing our lives.

'And the better the actual blessed land is built.'

'Therefore, the profound cultural heritage of its Inner Scenery Blessed Land is even more abundant.'

Conversely, this will promote their spiritual practice and enlightenment.

A gleam of boundless light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

If one day...

'Every immortal who cultivates the Way of the Earth Immortals creates a blessed land.'

'Then what does the Primordial Great World look like?'

It seems everyone is now a dragon among men.

After all, a shallow pond can't produce a true dragon.

Only when the world's foundation is profound can it nurture the seeds of extraordinary talents.

'And on that day, this humble Daoist ancestor, an Earth Immortal, will reap immeasurable rewards.'

Just then, Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He looked up at the Grand Void.

Then he saw a long-bearded Daoist priest chuckle at him.

That smile gave Zhou Yuan a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

'So it was him.'

Zhou Yuan quickly realized what this person was here for.

But he didn't care.

A single tree cannot make a forest; the Earth Immortal Lineage cannot grow strong alone.

This Dao Lord's Daoist temple is located at the border between East and West.

If one can teach disciples and followers to analyze the western earth veins.

This is also a great achievement, and it will greatly benefit the Earth Immortal Lineage.

Moreover, this person possesses the Book of Earth.

'No matter who created the Earth Immortal Lineage, they cannot be kept outside.'

Otherwise, the significance of this Earth Immortal Lineage would be halved.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan immediately left the bamboo house.

Stand in the Grand Void.

After Zhen Yuanzi arrived.

He hurried over to greet them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, I greet you."

Seeing Zhou Yuan's gentle expression and friendly demeanor.

Zhen Yuanzi felt much more at ease.

He laughed and stepped forward to grab Zhou Yuan's arm:

"Dao Brother Taiyuan."

"I have come here to work with you, fellow Dao Brother, to advance a great undertaking."

They actually regarded Zhou Yuan as a pioneer from the ancient primordial era and recognized Dao Brother.

Zhou Yuan was taken aback at first, then happily led Zhen Yuanzi into the bamboo house.

Serving you Enlightenment Tea, brewed with the Three Lights Divine Water:

"Fellow Daoist."

"This humble Daoist possesses nothing of value, except for this cup of tea, which can purify the spirit."

"Although it won't be of much use to people of our Dao Cultivation."

"But the taste of this tea is acceptable."

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to have a cup to try?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and his eyes lit up.

He sensed that his own mind had been purified.

"Good tea, good tea!"

He praised it while waving his sleeves.

Zhou Yuan saw the fruit, which resembled a baby.

His eyes lit up.

Sure enough, Zhen Yuanzi smiled rather smugly:

"I've had a cup of tea with you Dao Brother."

"It just so happens that I have a wild fruit plant growing in my backyard."

"Now we're considered mature."

Before leaving, I had the Attendant Boy pick a few for my Dao Brother to try.

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands in praise:

"Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Ginseng Fruit."

"You've mistaken them for wild fruits, which shows how discerning you are."

"But my cup of tea can't buy these fruits."

Zhen Yuanzi's expression remained calm as he chuckled softly:

"Why should my Dao Brother and I need to divide this and that?"

Zhou Yuan smiled slowly, picked up a fruit, and put it in his mouth.

The fruit melted in the mouth.

The Innate Jia Wood element nourishes the Dao body.

Although Ginseng Fruit is good, it was not the first batch of fruit harvested at the beginning of Primordial World.

It's not very useful to him.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan casually put it away.

The two then chatted about everything under the sun.

Until the last cup of tea was drunk.

Zhen Yuanzi then smiled and suggested:

"Dao Brother is a figure from the ancient, primordial era."

"This humble Daoist has come to see you, Dao Brother, also for a glimmer of fortune and opportunity."

"It is a rare opportunity for us to gather here today. How about we discuss and exchanging ideas on the Dao?"

Zhou Yuan understood that it was to explore the lineage of Earthly Immortals.

However, Zhen Yuanzi was only one step away from comprehending the Earth Immortal Dharma Gate.

He was happy to grant his fellow Daoist's request.

After all, I just received nine Ginseng Fruits from them!

Therefore, Zhou Yuan did not refuse.

He simply nodded.

"Fellow Daoist's Daoist arts are profound; even from as far away as Wuyi Mountain, I can hear of your extraordinary abilities."

"Our gathering here today is truly a matter of fate."

"It is also necessary to demonstrate the reasoning."

That's all.

He immediately raised Auspicious Clouds above his head.

Auspicious Clouds roll in, Blessing and Virtue abound.

A surge of Water Essence energy rose up.

Amidst the endless radiance, one after another Innate Spiritual Treasures churned and surged.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze, however, was drawn to the true Dharma seed that had taken root amidst the rolling auspicious Auspicious Clouds.

He was incredibly excited.

'My path has been completed!'
