Chapter 416: Dongda Earth Immortal Wang Jianguo

After Xu Jia passed down the Dharma methods here, it could be considered that he had completed one merit.

Only for the first few times, after personally watching them coordinate autonomously and successfully connect the micro spirit veins, he did not keep a close eye on them anymore.

As for matters of the battlefield, as long as the other side did not actively send Immortals to cause trouble, Xu Jia actually did not need to expend any effort to kill.

Moreover, the previous Lushan Five Earth Immortals and Luofu Two Divine Immortals had all been beheaded one by one; they had worked so hard, yet their ends were not very good.

One of the Lushan Five Immortals was sealed as a Five Directions Duty Cao Official, not only having to be on call 365 days a year without rest, but also having to be ordered around by Spirit Treasure Disciples to assist the City God in matters large and small.

As for the other two, they were sealed into two minor god positions for guarding the house, their status actually inferior to a Door God. The fruit of their practice, which was close to ascension, was directly squandered.

This was to tell the various sects and factions: "I am not afraid of trouble; strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming."

Even later, when the Luofu Immortal Truth wanted to reclaim the two's Primordial Spirits, or when the Lushan pre-Qin Qi Refiner Loose Immortals wanted to protect those five, they were all almost beheaded by Xu Jia with a single sword.

If they make a move again, they will not be thinking of forcing Xu Jia out to have a good talk; I fear they will want to force him out and then plot to behead him.

It is not just Xu Jia; I fear the disciples under Xu Jia will also enjoy such treatment.

If we cannot talk, then do not talk; just go die.

Xu Jia naturally sensed the crisis in this, but before they could find a way to completely restrain his Weiji Immortal Sword, they presumably would not be able to succeed for a while and would not alert the enemy.

Therefore, Xu Jia originally wanted to descend into the Sword Hero World again; first, he wanted to obtain the Dutian Fierce Fire Inheritance, go to the Sword Casting Villa to exchange for the Sword Casting Secret Method, and incidentally find a few Peerless Immortal Swords to pair with the Weiji Immortal Sword, creating a youth-castrated beggar version of the Executioner of Immortals Sword Array, completing the ultimate form of cosplaying Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Most importantly, by anchoring a temple there, plus the Chaos Pearl, Xu Jia could fully utilize the "Weiji Immortal Sword" to escape into the void, use his Yang Spirit to wrap his physical body, descend in his true form, and walk and communicate freely, no longer needing to possess the Huanglian Daoren or be limited to a clay statue, which had many restrictions.

In the posture of a Sword Immortal, he would sweep across the cultivation world, suppress the various sects, and obtain their cultivation Sword Scriptures and sword-refining methods.

However, at this moment, prayers and wishes from disciples came from the Amelika Tongtian Temple. Xu Jia reflected: "Amelika is now in a state where demons rise and the Dao wanes, having gathered all the fatigue and exhaustion of the end of a dynasty: the militarism of Emperor Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Five Barbarians' chaos during the Wei and Jin periods, the Wei and Jin romanticism (LGBT), the grandiosity of Yang Guang's time, the regional separatism of the Tang Dynasty, the currency over-issuance of the Song Dynasty, the ethnic uprisings of the Yuan Dynasty, the eunuch power-grabs of the Ming Dynasty, and the opium flooding of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the things present in every dynasty: upper-class monopolies, vast wealth gaps, official corruption, and heavy taxes on ordinary people... Compared to this, that place is the true main battlefield for a new era of Investiture of the Gods."

"Now that Dongda has sent envoys again, it is precisely for the sake of cooperation. If this method of constructing micro spirit veins combines with the strength of Dongda's 'infrastructure maniacs,' perhaps we can seize the initiative... However, in that world, technological development is already far ahead. Even with Spirit Recovery, unless the laws of physics are suppressed at the fundamental level, it is difficult to cause a stir... But that world has already entered a cycle of Spirit Qi recovery, and Dongda's Cave Heaven Blessed Lands will likely open one after another. This micro spirit vein method is merely icing on the cake."

Xu Jia pondered slightly and felt it was better to return to Amelika first. After all, the True Transmission he obtained and all his Daoist foundations were learned in his original world. The original layout of his home world was presumably very high; at least, it felt higher than the layout here.

The Inner Landscape method points directly to the Great Dao; it had merely entered the End of Dharma Era. Now, the trend of world ascension is actually a state of continuous rising, faintly rising from the first heaven of the Desire Realm Six Heavens directly to the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm, which is the highest heaven of the Desire Realm. That layout is not much different from the Sword Hero World.

After all, in the Sword Hero World, it is often rumored that Form Realm Immortals descend with their Primordial Spirits into Cave Heaven Blessed Lands to discuss the Dao with lower-realm God Immortals. The sixth heaven of the Desire Realm is naturally closest to the first heaven of the Form Realm.

Xu Jia also wanted to take advantage of the world's ascension to experience it a bit, and perhaps even obtain a share of Merit and fortune.

He immediately focused his spirit to communicate.

In the San Francisco Tongtian Temple of Amelika, the "visiting delegation" composed of official practitioners from Dongda had all arrived at the San Francisco Tongtian Temple.

Because Amelika was in the midst of a general election, even the FBI was very nervous, fearing that the Dongda people would do some evil magic to interfere with the election through metaphysics, so they set up surveillance directly across the street.

It was just that their surveillance was interfered with by the Feng Shui layout, making it difficult to truly spy.

The leader of the Dongda delegation was a man in his fifties, his clothes washed until they were white, wearing Liberation shoes from the Mao era on his feet, hands behind his back, yet his eyes were like lightning, his cultivation profound.

This person was the person in charge of the Daoist walkers for the Changbai Mountain Cave Heaven Blessed Land that Guo Zhanghai had gone to, "Wang Jianguo."

Wang Jianguo had actually already cultivated into an "Earth Immortal," which was the "Holding Dan Realm" where Xu Jia was back then. It was just that in the Dongda cultivation world of this realm, the Humanity Law was too strong; Dharma practice that did not rely on national law was difficult to manifest externally. Only by borrowing the power of the Blessed Land at the Changbai Mountain Cave Heaven research base could he truly possess Divine Abilities and Daoist methods.

Once he left the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and arrived in a metropolis, his Daoist methods were suppressed to the level of an ordinary Human Immortal practitioner, even if he had life-extension and lived to 140 or 150. And even so, practicing in Dongda's Cave Heaven Blessed Lands would still be influenced by the general trend of humanity; until the very last moment, one could not know with what fruit of practice one would ascend.

Fortunately, in recent years, the cultivation world has gradually recovered; the spring wind has overwhelmed the east wind, all the monsters and demons have begun to recover, the Dharma Realm has become increasingly active, and the spiritual charms of heaven and earth have slowly manifested, enough to nourish the physical body and Primordial Spirit.

Now that he had left Dongda territory, the strictly suppressed Humanity Law no longer suppressed his Daoist practice, so he completely released this level of power. Especially in the "Amelika Demon Land," this land of freedom, he felt his "changes were enormous."

He secretly thought: "No wonder so many Daoist successors have flocked overseas to practice, refusing to enter the pass. Before the founding of the country, many monks and Daoists clearly knew that Chiang's fortune had ended, yet they still followed him, buying land on Bao Island to build Daochang..."

However, Wang Jianguo did not have any other intentions. He knew that among these practitioners, except for a few, most were "monsters and demons." The regular ones had all been incorporated into the "Bureau of Celestial Affairs." After the founding of the country, the urban planning, the demon kings of various mountains, ghost gods, and even the Dragon Gods of lakes and seas—they had fought them one by one. Those who didn't listen were blasted by cannons, and those who listened were obediently incorporated.

This was the domineering spirit of Dongda back then, eliminating so many heterodox and harmful traditions, bandits, prostitutes, opium dens, and even the underworld, as well as warlords who still dreamed of being grassroots Submerged Dragons... all were completed at that time.

Clear the source, kill the Evil Aura, return to True Qi.

From the late Qing Dynasty to before the founding of the country, more than a hundred years of Evil Aura and demonic energy, and even two thousand years of lingering poison, were all wiped out and cleared in just "thirty years."

Wang Jianguo sighed. Arriving in Amelika and seeing the magical scene of the real Amelika, his memories drifted to the past. Back then, Dongda's mountains and rivers were shattered, and it was also like this, with demons rising and the Dao waning. Where the road leads now, he did not know.

Behind Wang Jianguo were the younger generation, people from the Bureau of Celestial Affairs who had not experienced the influence of the east wind. Three generations of their ancestors and descendants were all Bureau of Celestial Affairs people, and they accepted new things relatively quickly.

Seeing that this Tongtian Temple Daochang was all Ming and Qing architecture, and the furnishings everywhere were antiques, many of which were Magic Tools communicating with Feng Shui arrays, they all secretly thought: "This Tongtian Temple is indeed wealthy."

The acting temple master "Li Rentai" and the deputy temple master, the black Christian Hong Xiuquan, were both here at this time. The other second, third, and fourth-generation disciples who had decent cultivation were also here accompanying them.

Among them was the "Yellow-haired paranormal streamer" who had previously used a plastic bottle to catch ghosts on a livestream; his followers on YouTube had now exceeded one million.

But now, his hair had to be dyed back to black, the piercings on his body, all kinds of holes, gold or silver, were all removed, and he was wearing the unified Daoist uniform of Tongtian Temple, standing behind Li Rentai.

There were also a few with aquiline noses, who were Daoists from the Germany Sub-temple of Tongtian Temple. Those white-skinned ones over there were local white Daoist priests, but their primary profession was actually exorcist priests, who had been absorbed into Tongtian Temple to practice some outer-sect Daoist methods.

"True Person Wang!" Li Rentai could feel Wang Jianguo's Daoist practice.

"No need to call me True Person Wang, just call me Comrade Jianguo." Wang Jianguo coughed: "Seeing Chinese traditional culture taking root and growing and multiplying overseas, we as Dongda people are also happy for you."

"Although we are overseas Chinese, we still have our hearts tied to the motherland, and occasionally in our dreams, we have thought about returning to our roots."

The two said some words to promote friendship.

"This is a national gift prepared by the country, a piece of porcelain fired during the founding period. This is a small tripod cast from gifts offered by various places during the tenth anniversary of the founding. It is not an antique, and I fear it is out of place with Tongtian Temple. Look at this tripod, it is still golden and bright."

Li Rentai was shocked when he saw these two items, feeling that he could not take his eyes off them: "These things are all old objects, things from the old era; how could they be as precious as this national vessel and national gift? I wouldn't trade them for even a thousand pieces."

Just at this moment, Xu Jia descended.

Wang Jianguo's intuition was sharp. Although he had heard that the Ancestor of Tongtian Temple had been descending to the altar frequently recently, and it was a Golden Body descent, not just teaching in a dream, that was only hearsay. Even the lecture videos of Xu Jia that were recorded, they only felt they looked like they were synthesized, just without any traces of synthesis; perhaps technology had advanced...

Now, truly and clearly, he saw a flash of golden light. The golden light carried a pure Yang warmth, like the spring sun shining on his face.

Immediately, the withered Golden Body sitting on the Dharma Altar became lively, the flesh and blood filled out, and the golden coating turned into a person's normal complexion.

"Eh? So many people? So lively?"

Before Wang Jianguo could recover, he only heard this crisp sentence.
