Chapter 100 Ascension to Immortality
Jiaowei Peak is full of strange mountains and rocks, and its minerals are black, hence the name Jiaowei.

The sky was bright, and there was a Purple Mansion moving mountains and filling the sea, building a high platform on the peak, and piling up cloud steps. There were also monks gathering the energy from the clouds and turning it into auspicious clouds to decorate the high platform.

Thousands of cloud-like steps stand on the high platform, leading straight to the sky. The platform is vast and boundless, accommodating thousands of people to watch the ceremony. In the center of the platform, an altar is built. The altar is made of five-colored soil and contains spiritual inspiration.

There are three stone statues on the platform. One of them is wearing Bagua robe and covered with dust, and it is an old man.

Both of them are wearing white robes with wide sleeves, with long hair loose, and holding jade ruyi in their hands.

The last one is a middle-aged man in a tight robe holding a sword.

These three are the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit Heavenly Masters of this world, and their names are Du Qing, Di Zhen, and Chang Yuan.

Under the stone statues of the Three Heavenly Lords, there is a tablet with the inscription "The Great Heavenly Lord, the Holy One Who Opens the Spirits and Responds to the Dharma, and Is Benevolent in the High Heaven."

There are three blast furnaces in front of the tablet, with incense burning inside and green smoke rising up.

There was also a person with great supernatural powers who cleared away the clouds in the sky, revealing the clear blue sky, and brought in a beam of light from the sky to shine on the altar.

At the foot of Jiaowei Peak, two disciples from the Da Dao Temple welcomed the guests and led them to the high platform.

There were more than a dozen disciples serving on the high platform. The guests presented their gift lists, signed in, and the disciples arranged their seats. People came and went, but the place was orderly but not chaotic.

"Burning off the charred tail and ascending straight to the blue sky is a good omen and a good implication." Gu Qingyuan sighed with the handrail, and Jiang Feng stood behind him.

"When the senior attained enlightenment, thousands of guests came to congratulate him. They talked and laughed with sincerity and interacted without being mundane. It was really enviable." Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze from the high platform under the sunlight and concealed a trace of envy.

That day, the two of them looked at the layout of the venue. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Now it was the auspicious day that had been selected. All they had to do was wait for the guests to arrive and the ceremony would begin.

A beam of sword light flashed by, and Xi Jing landed in front of Gu Qingyuan: "Daoyou, the guests have almost arrived, it's time to get ready, don't delay the time."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and motioned for Jiang Feng to go by himself and go with Xi Jing.

"Have everyone who is supposed to arrive arrived?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Xijing nodded: "Xiaju Piaomiao has arrived, all led by the sect masters, and there are also purple palaces from various sects. Except for the supernatural powers who stayed behind to guard the mountain gate and practiced in seclusion, most of the purple palace true practitioners in the world have come. There are 127 purple palaces in total. It is much more lively than my place. Maybe it can become a good story in the cultivation world."

"Senior, you are joking," Gu Qingyuan chuckled and shook his head, "All the people here are here for profit. If it weren't for the Demon Subduing Alliance, I'm afraid that even a few of them would think highly of me if they came."

Xi Jing followed suit with a smile: "No matter what, being able to come here is a honor for you. I won't underestimate you in the future."

Gu Qingyuan stared at Zifu, the disciple he had brought with him and his family, wandering around on the high platform, chatting and laughing with each other, making it very lively.

"This Dharma Assembly has been turned into a temple fair for me."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and focused his magical eyes on all the authentic Purple Mansions. Only a few people noticed it. When they looked up, they saw Gu Qingyuan accompanied by Xi Jing. They knew that they were the protagonists of today, so they nodded and smiled. The rest of the people seemed unaware.

Over there, Dongquan is holding a demon cultivator conference in Xumi Sea, and over here, Gu Qingyuan is taking the stage at the authentic Zifu Dharma Assembly. Both have a bright future.

As for Ning Wudao, the demon from Dongquan, Gu Qingyuan didn't take him seriously. The figure who used to be as tall as a mountain has now become an ant under his feet.

'Senior, fellow Taoist, we are just ants, the world is really amazing.' Gu Qingyuan thought.

Although he had just formed the Purple Mansion, he had accumulated a lot of experience, had extraordinary comprehension, and his magical powers were all in line with the Great Dao, so it was no problem for him to kill some demonic cultivators in the Purple Mansion.

"If I analyze the calamity energy, build my magical powers, and comprehend the truth, but still can't kill a few ordinary Purple Mansion demon cultivators who were bullied by the authentic sects and went overseas, then my ten years of hard work would have been wasted, and my reputation as a person with the highest level of comprehension would have been tarnished. Even these authentic Purple Mansion demon cultivators present here..."

Gu Qingyuan nodded in response to everyone's gestures, but inwardly he was analyzing the information obtained through his supernatural powers.

'Except for a few people, the rest are just chickens and dogs.'

"When do you plan to mention the matter of killing the demon?"

Xi Jing had already made plans: "I will inform the Golden Pill Taoist Master, hand over the name card, remove the altar, and borrow your venue for the ceremony before I tell you everything."

"Senior doesn't seem to mention the title of Dao Zun very often, is it because of the golden elixir that calls you by that name?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Xijing nodded: "Yes, the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit is high in the sky, and the divine consciousness is extraordinary. Anyone who thinks of the Taoist name can be sensed by the Taoist Master. It is inevitably disrespectful to mention it too much, so most people call him Golden Elixir Master or Golden Elixir Dao Master." "The Golden Elixir is as old as the sky. I don't know how many years those three Dao Masters have lived. They watched with cold eyes how many Purple Mansions achieved enlightenment. The Purple Mansions turned into ashes, and only the Dao Master was left lying on the nine clouds, participating in the Tao beyond the sky." Gu Qingyuan sighed.

"It is impossible to verify his age, but we only know that he has gone through countless tribulations. To him, a thousand years is just a moment. His peers have all passed away. It would be disrespectful for later generations to rashly investigate the Taoist's roots. Only the classics handed down from generation to generation in the great sects can give us a glimpse of it." Xi Jingyan said, and then pointed to the old man among the three stone statues.

“Da Dao Zun has been in Dao for the longest time. He achieved Dao fruit before the new method was released. The founder of Piao Miao Sect once held the sword and led the cow for him, and obtained half of the true teachings.”

'The new method has not yet been issued?'

Gu Qingyuan was stunned: "I didn't expect that the Great Dao Master actually achieved enlightenment through ancient methods. His talent is evident."

But in my heart I was thinking: That old Taoist Xu is so arrogant, I wonder if the Great Celestial Venerable...

Then he realized that it was somewhat disrespectful and wiped the thought away.

“Those who can achieve the Golden Elixir must have top-notch talent, opportunity, and comprehension. They rise by stepping on the corpses of countless geniuses. Even if they are Purple Mansion, they don’t know how many times they have fought and survived danger.”

"The Second and Third Daozun achieved enlightenment after the new law came into being. They used the power of the new law to glimpse the path to immortality. The Second Daozun even had some connection with the Great Heavenly Lord and was once his disciple. He is the source of the Xiaju Sect." Xi Jing looked at the stone statue and tablet of the Jade Ruyi Taoist.

'The senior who created the new method is really amazing. He used the fake to practice the real and produced two golden pills. However, the senior is so talented, but there is only an empty tablet and no one can see him. The road to immortality is rugged and if you make a mistake, you will be doomed forever! '

Gu Qingyuan and Xi Jing chatted and walked inwards, taking a breath for a while, then a disciple came to report:
"Master, all the guests have taken their seats, and the auspicious time has arrived."

Xi Jing nodded to Gu Qingyuan and turned to the front of the altar, while Gu Qingyuan came to the foot of the cloud-covered steps on the high platform.

Dong Dong Dong - when
The sound of drums and bells rang out, and the guests fell silent.

Xi Jing held the name card and said loudly:
"Now there is a cultivator of the Gu family, who has reached the Upper Pure Land and Lower Source, broken through the immortal foundation and achieved the Purple Palace. The heavens are in turmoil, and my Dao is flourishing day by day. I congratulate the world."

"The road to immortality is long and rugged. We should practice diligently, strengthen our energy and correct our roots. Then the road to immortality will begin and the gate to heaven will open."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please ascend to heaven!"

After Xi Jing finished speaking, the clouds surged, and at the end of the cloud steps on the high platform, above the sky, a white jade gate appeared, a hundred feet high.

'Is there a guillotine on this door?'

Gu Qingyuan thought about it, and realized that it was just a ceremony to ascend to heaven, and it was a manifestation of his magical powers. He then released his aura, walked like a dragon and a tiger, and displayed his own magical powers.

Then, grass and trees grew on the cloud steps and turned into vine bridges connecting the steps. The five elements of energy crisscrossed and turned into five-colored divine birds: the red one was the Vermilion Bird, the yellow one was the Cockatoo, the green one was the Azure Luan, the purple one was the Cuckoo, and the white one was the Swan. There were also towering trees appearing behind Gu Qingyuan, seemingly real and unreal, following him all the way.

The cloud pattern between Gu Qingyuan's eyebrows lit up, his eyes shone with golden light, his green robe glowed with spiritual light, his jade hairpin turned into brocade, golden lotus grew in the air, all kinds of Taoist sounds explained the great way of heaven and earth, and the fragrance of plants and trees emanated.

There were disciples brought by Zifu, listening to the sound of Tao, breathing in the immortal air, their minds became clear, and all kinds of insights came to their hearts. They gained something, and couldn't help but feel great joy, and then they entered into a state of meditation.

The onlookers all around looked at Gu Qingyuan, secretly marveling at the man's profound accumulation of knowledge. When his Purple Mansion Dao essence came out, the scene was extraordinary.

The cultivators of Zifu are naturally different from ordinary people. The purpose of this trip is to observe the essence of Tao, the principles and the Dharma. They are not like ordinary people with flesh and blood who are mesmerized by all kinds of strange visions, but see the inner world through the scenery of Tao.

'Although it is only the Five Elements Avenue, the five energies are interlocked and linked, and have reached the state of perfection and endless circulation of the five elements. Is this really the aura that a newly promoted Purple Mansion should have? ' Someone couldn't help but think as he watched the five phoenixes soar.

Taoist Gao held the white jade gallbladder in his hand and looked at it carefully, not paying attention to Wu Feng, but focusing on the golden characters that kept dispersing.

"That golden text... I can't really see it clearly. With my level of cultivation, I was actually touched by it after a closer look. Is it true that the wave behind will defeat the wave in front?"

Jing Sheng was thinking about it, and then a subtle sound of two jade galls colliding was heard.

Gu Qingyuan ignored the people below the stage and climbed the stairs step by step until he came to the Heavenly Gate. He pushed it slowly and the door opened. He took another step and passed the Heavenly Gate.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master is listening. Please hand over your name card and register your name on the Immortal Scroll."

Xi Jing saw Gu Qingyuan crossing the Sky Gate and shouted, and the name card in his hand turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky.
