The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 159 Future
Ever since Dongzhou conquered various counties and clarified its relationship with Donghai, the Wu family cultivators living at the foot of Fuyao Mountain in Dongjun have been under great pressure.

The Taoist officials of the Immortal City knocked on Fuyao's door many times to recruit monks and military pay, but were repeatedly rejected by Madam Xiyuan, the head of the mansion, who claimed that her eldest son was still in the East China Sea and ordered them to go to the East China Sea.

But these questions, coupled with rumors in the market that the Wu family was going to abandon Fuyao Mountain and move all their forces to the East China Sea...

It also cast a gloomy shadow over the hearts of more than a hundred practitioners on and off Fuyao Mountain.

Fortunately, at this time.

Wu Yong is back!
At this time, he drove away the Zhatian Kun spirit and brought the Taoist soldiers and horses back to Fuyao Mountain with great fanfare.

It also calmed the restless people's hearts.

The Taoist soldiers and horses moved into the North Garden of the Wu family's residence in Fuyao. Although the number of people increased sharply to more than 130, it was by no means too many. This North Garden was once the northern parade ground for the Wu family, which was ranked fourth rank and used to deploy troops during the Restoration Era. It could accommodate 800 regular soldiers and horses!

Half of the regular cultivators from the Wu family who had gone to the East China Sea were also transferred back, and they were all Wu family's servants!
In the main hall of the East Garden in the mansion, Wu Yong, Wu Lingxiu, Wu Xuan, Madam of the West Garden - Xu Miaoxi, and the chief steward - Wu Lie... all gathered there.

Wu Yong was in the east of the warm room, sitting opposite everyone. He looked at Xu Miaoxi and asked:
"I heard that Xiancheng sent people to ask for soldiers, money and food again?"

"Yes, I have urged you three times, but I didn't respond." Xu Miaoxi shook her head slightly.

The Immortal City's move would require the mobilization of hundreds of regular cultivators and countless spiritual medicines and precious materials. However, apart from the cultivators from the Wu family stationed in the East China Sea, there are only a hundred regular cultivators in Mount Fuyao. How can they respond?
"Don't pay any attention to him. How long has it been since the Qingyun conscription? Just tell me, the Wu family has been expanding the territory of Yunmeng, and it has suffered a lot of damage. It will take several more years to repair it!"

Wu Yong's eyes turned cold and he said in a cold voice.

"The Yunmeng Jing Clan, also known as the Dongzhou Kui Clan, is actually a group of leeches, greedy and ruthless."

"Now that our Wu family has obtained the post in Tōkaidō, we have a strong army under our command. We should be able to become a fourth-rank family in the next ranking evaluation!"

"If things go well, I should be able to complete the fourth level of success in a decade."

"As for Dongjun, just lower your head and bear with him."

"Humph! By then, with this Dongjun as the base, we can cut off Danyang, cover the Black Mountain, and reach the East China Sea. The three counties of Dongzhou may also be named Wu."

Jing was domineering, but now he no longer had to care about other people's feelings.

Otherwise, wouldn’t these ten years of practice have been in vain?

"Uncle, but isn't that a bit risky?"

"Perhaps, we can bow our heads a little, politely decline the invitation, and instead provide some food and supplies to the Dangan Road Army?"

After careful consideration, Xu Miaoxi finally made a suggestion despite Wu Yong's words.

My uncle is very lucky, as everyone in the world says; he supports the Wu family, controls the East China Sea, and has great power and spirit, making him the destined true lord!

But the more this happened, the more she wanted to suppress Wu Yong's arrogance. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, and there must not be any mishap at the last moment.

The Jing family has controlled Dongzhou for more than ten thousand years, and their methods are not bad...

"No need~"

Wu Yong raised his right hand high and made the decision with one word!

He lowered his eyes to look at the four people and said softly:
"The Tianxiang Palace has been closed for a hundred years. After a hundred years, my Wu family has at least regained the fourth-rank family status. The Xun family will guarantee us to make friends with the various clans in Yujing and enter the circle of the most superior clans in the immortal way."

"A few years ago, the True Lord of the Qiongming Wang Clan, a first-class clan, also came up and must have some tacit understanding with Donghai."

"We can't retreat now. We must show our might. Besides, even if the Jing family doesn't want to break up with us, I still need to find a heavyweight opponent."

"This is - Yangwang!"

When it comes to spiritual practice, one must judge one’s quality and one’s circle. If one wants to break out of one’s circle and enter another, one must have some deeds that will be spread around by the aristocratic families, Taoist temples, and famous practitioners one is friendly to.

This is a great opportunity!

Originally, Wu Yong's imaginary enemy was Yuan Zhong.

But it's okay too. If we can win a small victory over Yunmeng, we can avoid so many calculations.

"Is that so, brother?"

"No wonder last year, when I graduated from the Dao Palace, some high-ranking cultivators from Yujing repeatedly invited me to travel with them. That circle seemed to be headed by Qiongming..."

Wu Lingxiuwan sat on a rose chair and said thoughtfully.

The Qiongming is an extremely ancient Taoist sect, which is known as the source of all things and all come from Qiongming. The entire Qiongming Cave Heaven has the most numerous and complete cultivation system in Jiuzhou.

There are the celestial immortal tradition, the earthly immortal tradition, the spiritual immortal tradition, the ghost immortal tradition, the divine immortal tradition, as well as the corpse-reincarnated immortal tradition, etc. Each tradition has at least one ancient scripture that leads directly to the primordial spirit.

He also treasured alchemy cauldrons, talismans, qi training, body training, and spirit training, but he had never touched upon external alchemy and the method of returning the elixir.

In this case, His Highness Qiongming has countless Taoist traditions and is implicitly the leader of all the top-grade families...

"Oh?"

"That's fine. Practice the Dao diligently and keep your supernatural powers. When interacting with him, just stop when you're satisfied!"

Wu Yong raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Wu Lingxiu. Did he almost have his house stolen by Wang Shi of Qiongming?

This younger sister has now grown into a graceful and charming young lady, no longer as delicate and naive as she used to be.

As an elder brother, he is really not very competent.

"Well, this is how our Wu Clan will decide from now on. I must discuss the rank next time and help our Wu Clan regain the fourth rank."

"Of course we will not give up Fuyao Mountain in Dongjun. Not only can we not give up, but we have to manage it well. The Taoist temples in the six counties that took refuge under Fuyao must select reliable people to rebuild the inheritance."

"Wait for the future..."

As he spoke, he took out six two-foot jade bottles from the cinnabar and mercury blessed land.

The mist in the bottle flows continuously, it is neither air nor fog, it is truly magical.

"Including the legitimate and illegitimate relatives in the clan, there are only five of us, you and me."

"Although this may seem a bit like forcing things to happen, I need you to practice making golden elixirs as soon as possible and become a third-level elixir mage!"

"This energy is called Lingji, and it is the result of countless evolutions of the world. The Great Evolution is fifty, and the Heaven Evolution is forty-nine. After taking this Lingji, one can create forty-nine Dao Marks of the Two Principles, Four Symbols, Three Talents, and Five Elements out of thin air."

"The belly can generate a jiazi of magical power out of thin air."

"The beginning of the universe, hence the name Yuanshi Lingji."

Wu Yong gently opened one of the jade bottles, and hundreds of spiritual inspirations emerged and dispersed in front of the four people. He sealed the rest back into the bottle and demonstrated to the four people how to digest such magical objects.

As soon as the four strands of spiritual energy entered the bodies of the four people, they felt it transform into an invisible magic power, slowly merging into the body. Under Wu Yong's control, the four people looked inward, especially what he saw, the wind path traces were piled up in the mist, and half of the path traces were formed in the body. And the time it took was less than an incense stick.

It is really amazing that just a single inspiration can produce such a result. How magical would it be if there were hundreds or thousands of inspirations?
"Wu Xuan, Wu Lie, of these six inspirations, you two should each take three and digest them carefully. You can use your three-year-old magic power to generate three Dao traces."

"However, there is no rush to form the elixir immediately. After digesting the three spiritual ideas, I must refine the increased magic power and use it for my own benefit. I also need to practice my magical powers diligently before thinking about forming the elixir."

Wu Yong, however, would not force them to do anything. He asked them to form pills right away and do something for him. If the pills were produced in a hurry and were inferior and messy, it would be a great pity.

As long as you seek to perfect the elixir of all kinds and make it of the best quality, you will gain unimaginable magical powers.

As a second best option, one can form a middle-grade golden elixir, which is also a flawless path. Although there is no improvement, for a cultivator, being moderate and peaceful is also very good!
"Sister-in-law and Lingxiu are also like this, especially Miaoxi. You were the top of the Shouchun Taoist Academy and built the foundation of Taoism before entering the Taoist Palace. Now, nearly 20 years have passed, how come you haven't condensed your energy and refined your evil spirit yet?"

"All I can do is to ensure that you can reach the third level and live to be eight hundred years old. That's absolutely no problem."

“But after the golden elixir enters the abdomen, the magical powers, the Taoist practice, the magic power, and the Taoist essence are all indispensable. As for you, the five qi in your chest are even more difficult to refine, and the three flowers on the top of your head are ethereal and have disappeared without a trace.”

"What should I do if I don't practice cultivation at home?"

As for forming the elixir, Wu Yong himself does not have the ability to cultivate the elixir cauldron, let alone give any instructions. Perhaps he could force the elixir to form by spending some of his spiritual power, but what about future practice?
The difficulty in seeking the Tao is that one must not only cultivate supernatural powers, but also seek destiny.

Yuanshi Lingji had to build up his foundation to gain supernatural powers, but what his destiny would be was all up to him.

"That's not the case, it's just that I want to practice a life-long magic weapon - the Jade Pipa. Now its restrictions have just combined with the 72 Earthly Evils, and it's still a little short of the right temperature!"

Xu Miaoxi denied it hesitantly.

Although she had been a little slack in recent years, it was not as bad as Wu Yong said. She just wanted to reach the pinnacle of the second level of cultivation, refine her own magic weapon while condensing her inner energy and refining her evil spirit, and condense her own magical power, so she had stagnated for a long time.

"What kind of magic weapon is this? Why did it take so long to refine it?"

The chief steward Wu Lie has been stagnant in refining magical instruments for nearly sixty years. This is the way that old lady Xun controls her subordinates. She has not made any easy arrangements for them, as precious materials are hard to come by.

She is the mistress of Xiyuan, it shouldn’t be necessary, right?

"Isn't it the ritual method for refining the various instruments that you sealed in the mansion before, Uncle? The Jade Pipa of the State, the Azure Cloud Sword of Growth, the Broad Eyes Bead, the Multi-Heavenly Hunyuan Treasure Umbrella..."

"The more I refine this Chiguo Jade Pipa, the more frightened I feel. It's like a bottomless pit. I have invested all my wealth in the four types of precious materials: earth, fire, wind and water, the jade from Zhoushan Mountain, and the brocade and wonderful cloud light, and I have only refined half of it."

"Uncle's magic weapons have caused great harm to Lingxiu and me. The same is true for the Growth Azure Cloud Sword she refined!"

I thought it was a wonderful method that Wu Yong had chosen from that top-grade inheritance, but it turned out to be a bottomless pit. He spent millions of Daozhu worth of spiritual materials and only managed to practice it incompletely.

Wu Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them in surprise.

That was the treasure he chose from the Lingguan Treasure Edict, which was the treasure of the Four Heavenly Kings outside the South Heaven Gate, namely, Dhritarashtra, Vaisravana, Virūpākṣa and Vimalakirti. It was a wonderful method that could be used to refine magic instruments and magic treasures all the way to spiritual treasures.

These four wonderful methods were originally selected by him, with the intention of finding four beautiful people in the clan to serve as protectors when the time is right.

These two people probably took a fancy to the name, and immediately started picking them up and refining them.

The rough outline of his Wan Ya Hu was built by a great wizard of the Xun family at the request of Old Lady Xun. The embryo of such a magical weapon is extremely difficult to make!
“So this is the method!”

Wu Yong pointed at Xu Miaoxi and joked with the others:

"Look everyone, this is just taking advantage of others and still acting cute."

"The Chiguo Jade Pipa and the complete form of the Zengzhang Qingyun Sword are at least top-level magic weapons. If there is a chance, they are no worse than my Wan Ya Hu. But she is so disgusted that she fell for it!"

"Haha, no problem. I still have over 10 million Daozhu in my mustard seed bracelet. You two sisters can take it and refine it. These two magic weapons are extremely powerful. If you succeed, you two will have great luck."

While chatting and laughing, Wu Yong took off the purple gold mustard bracelet on his wrist and gently threw it into his arms.

Among them, there was more than 14 million Daozhu of his private money, which was enough for the two of them to make the magic weapon.

Maybe in the future I can find two more talented foundation-building sorcerers to complete the "Four Heavenly Kings".

The five of them started chatting again in the warm pavilion of the East Garden. Although Wu Yong had already achieved the Great Dharma Master of Mighty Spirit Manifestation, he did not have the usual majestic airs at all and flirted with the fellow practitioners.

Although Wu Xuan and Wu Lie did not have much experience in forming the elixir, they still shared with each other how to digest spiritual inspiration without reservation.

Talking to Xu Miaoxi and Wu Lingxiu, he also gave them some pointers on how to make offerings to their magic weapons:

When Chiguo's jade pipa is plucked lightly, earth, fire, wind and water are launched simultaneously, with the sound path as the carrier and the four symbols of earth, fire, wind and water as the blade, which is responsible for clever changes.

The Growth Blue Cloud Sword has a symbol on it, which is based on the wind path. Wind represents thousands of weapons. If a person is struck by this blade, not only will his precious light, his energy, or his body be shattered into dust by the blue wind and weapons. This is quite in line with the Great Wind Classic!
The five people talked in the warm pavilion of East Garden for two days, and then they withdrew one by one. Afterwards, the government ordered to select people to rebuild the Taoist temples in the counties of East Commandery. Many measures were announced one by one, which calmed down many rumors on Fuyao Mountain for a while.

At this point, the Three Evil Gods led by Hun Tian Jin Peng were suppressing the East China Sea, Yuan Zhong was in charge of Penglai, and Wu Yong was stationed in Fuyao Mountain.

Practice Taoist magic diligently every day, initially refine the miraculous method of the spiritual official, vaguely overlap the divine talisman and the Taoist military method, and after the soul is strengthened to the critical point, the fourth stage of the Taoist military method is to nourish the spirit in the Niwan Palace!

Therefore, the seven spirits of the body occupy the position of the witch god, and the seven gods are obtained in the Niwan Palace. The soul and spirit fetal light enter the Upper Palace, just like the soul road sky light opens the chaos, and a new sky is opened in the Niwan Palace, turning into the virtual world of the divine court, with the seven gods living on it.

No.-Seven Gods of Heaven!
As a result, the third chapter of Taoist Military Strategy on nourishing the spirit was completed, and the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit were obtained, making him a great master of the three ways.

"So that's how it is. The second level of the Dao Military Technique is to train the body, the third level is to train the soul, and the fourth level is to serve the gods? To prove that the gods are generals, and to be the messengers of heaven walking in the world for the immortal gods of the ancient era!"

"No wonder there is no way forward. The Nine Provinces Divine Path is blocked. The talisman path also uses magic power to drive the talisman position, refine the divine talisman into the immortal talisman, and become the divine immortal path."

"The Taoist military method requires the certification of a Heavenly General or a Divine General, but it is not feasible at least in the Jiuzhou Ancestral Realm. There is only hope in the Kingdom of the Gods in the far west of the Primal Chaos."

No wonder the fourth-level Taoist generals are one level lower than the True Lords. I’m afraid the “gods” worshipped by the Taoist generals are all semi-immortals or even great True Lords of the Taoism!

No wonder...

Wu Yong stretched out his hand and pointed, and a crack appeared in the void. The ceiling in the crack was dazzling, and the golden palace was completed. Seven several-inch-tall witch spirit gods stood on it.

This is the virtual world - the Seven Gods Heaven.

“All the cultivators in the Huangtian Daoying who have achieved the status of the Third Transformation Huangtian Great Master have gods to worship, and they worship the Seven Gods of Heaven as the Myriad Changes Divine Vein!”

“If I can cultivate to the position of a spiritual official, I will not let down the lineage of the divine generals. If there are people in the future who practice Taoism and military tactics and have no gods to worship, I will let them feel my myriad divine powers and not let them be inferior to others…”

Wu Yong opened up a virtual world in his Niwan Palace, paving the way for Huang Tiandao. He felt something in his heart, and knowing how difficult it would be for many Taoist generals, he swore secretly in his heart.

However, Wu Yong didn't know that in an unknown place, the Lingguan Treasure Edict was turning without wind and making a rustling sound. The image of the Great Lingguan of Dutian on the lacquered surface was shining, as if it had made a prophecy.

This oath is fulfilled!

The selection of the master for the Bingbao Edict must be determined by heaven; the Huangtian lineage inherited the majesty of the three heavens and called itself Weiling; the Wuling Divine Talisman is the ever-changing divine power, and the destiny is manifested.

He will attain enlightenment at an undetermined day in the future and be the destined and powerful Heavenly Lord.

Calling the Three Disasters, commanding the Great Spiritual Official of the Yellow Path in the High Heaven~
