Shennong Sequence

"The Daoist teachings within the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect are divided into three types: one type consists of the inherited Daoist teachings of the four lineages—Myriad Spirits, Myriad Transformations, Myriad Things, and Myriad Longevity—which can be imparted by a master;"

"The second option is that if you haven't taken a master, the elders from each of the four lineages will teach you, and then you can find the scriptures and methods to cultivate in the Inheritance Hall."

"The third type is the Heavenly Dao Hall within the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect, which is independent of the four lineages of Myriad Spirits, Myriad Transformations, Myriad Longevity, and Myriad Things. There is a Heritage Mountain responsible for the sect's inheritance, where some hidden lineages or people who have made great contributions can choose a special cultivation inheritance..."

"Therefore, neither the first type of master-disciple inheritance nor the third type of inheritance from the Heavenly Dao Palace Mountain, which is for those who have made great contributions, is within my reach."

If Zhao Yun wanted to find the 'Foundation Building Method of the Great Dao', he could only seek the true method from the Inheritance Hall, which was responsible for the inheritance of the Wanling lineage.

The Five Elements Immortal Mountain is the place where inner disciples of the Myriad Spirits lineage cultivate, and naturally it also has a Hall of Inheritance for transmitting and expounding the Dharma.

Zhao Yun wandered through the immortal mountains, and after a short while, he arrived at the Inheritance Hall, a relatively lively place in the Five Elements Immortal Mountains where one could see someone every few steps.

Passing the guards, I entered the hall and found everyone quiet, each perusing the Taoist texts they needed.

Of course, the inheritance within a sect is also orderly.

Therefore, apart from the initial Taoist scriptures that were first distributed, all other methods of cultivation require Taoist merit in exchange for Taoist practice.

Of course, if one has a master to impart the teachings, the step of 'converting Taoist skills into Taoist methods' can be omitted.

Among the inner disciples, despite those who are said to possess special talents such as the Five Elements Spiritual Roots and Immortal Spiritual Roots, only a small number actually manage to become disciples.

Moreover, there are many steps leading up to the outer sect, inner sect, true disciple, immortal seedling, and Daoist disciple, all laid out within this vast sect.

Inner gate?

It's just a little better than the outer gate!
This is also why Zhao Yun's body previously focused on cultivating the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Scripture" and only cultivated the Taoist methods within it. This is because cultivating other methods requires Taoist skills!
This original body rarely did sect missions except for planting some spiritual plants, making it one of the few 'mission lazybones' in the immortal mountain.

Naturally, there wasn't much more 'Taoist practice' to pursue those secret methods that aided cultivation.

Fortunately, when I had previously reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, the Three Flowers Realm, Senior Brother Han had given me a copy of "The Three Treasures Auspicious Divine Light" to aid my cultivation at the Three Flowers Realm.

Later, with the help of many pills provided by Xin Ruyin, he broke through all the way to the Inner Realm, and even reached the perfected twelfth level of Qi Refining!

Nowadays, people come to the Hall of Inheritance to seek the secret method of 'Foundation Building of the Great Dao'.

Of course, Zhao Yun did not have any Daoist cultivation, so he planned to first see what level of Daoist cultivation was required for the Great Dao Foundation Building Secret Method, and then find a way to accumulate Daoist cultivation.

When Zhao Yun entered the Inheritance Hall, he saw an endless expanse of bookshelves stretching as far as the eye could see, with various figures searching around them.

In addition, Zhao Yun also found some low-level cultivation methods that did not require any Daoist cultivation, as well as some biographies of famous people, or various novels, miscellaneous notes, and various records of his travels to other parts of the world...

Only when it involves the inheritance of sect immortal techniques is a large amount of Dao cultivation required.

Of course, once you enter a celestial sect and have access to celestial techniques, who would want to learn some unorthodox cultivation methods that are difficult to cultivate, have drawbacks, or whose power is unsatisfactory?

Naturally, the goal is to acquire Taoist skills and diligently cultivate various immortal techniques.

After Zhao Yun searched and searched the Inheritance Hall, he suddenly realized that there was someone standing behind him! Turning his head, he saw the old gatekeeper who had been lying on the recliner at the entrance when he first entered the Inheritance Hall.

Zhao Yun did not delay, bowed slightly in greeting, and asked, "Uncle, do you have any insightful opinions while following me?"

"The Hall of Inheritance prohibits the use of divine sense, so that you can encounter things as they come and see them wherever you want, without rushing into cultivation... I saw that you, boy, have already reached the perfection of Qi Refining, but you are wandering aimlessly among these miscellaneous books and biographies. So I guessed that you couldn't find the right place for the true method you were looking for, so I came to give you some pointers."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up. Perfect!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle-Master. I'd like to request a method for establishing the foundation of the Great Dao so that I can cultivate to the Foundation Establishment realm."

"Haha~, you've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage right off the bat. You're worthy of being a disciple of my Immortal Sect. You have some ambition... However, in terms of the total number of disciples in the sect, the Foundation Establishment stage is either too many or too few."

There are many, with hundreds of people reaching the Foundation Establishment stage appearing every year;

The "few" refers to the fact that each sect recruits at least 10 billion talented geniuses from various realms every year, and only one in a hundred million of these geniuses can ultimately forge the foundation of the Great Dao.

Therefore, the foundation of this great path is not easily passed down. But you, young man, I find you pleasing to the eye, so come with me.” After saying this, the old man turned and left.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.

In the immortal sect, encountering a senior expert is nothing out of the ordinary.

Who knows, you might wander around the mountains one day and see an immortal sitting there listening to the wind and watching the rain, contemplating the Dao.

Therefore, encountering someone willing to offer guidance is, to some extent, a very fortunate situation.

At this point, following along is definitely the right thing to do.

Of course, if the senior has malicious intentions, it doesn't really matter whether you follow or not, since you can't resist anyway.

Just as Zhao Yun took a step forward with the old man before him, he discovered that they had already left the hall filled with endless books.
After wandering around, we arrived in the misty mountains and sat down at a stone table under an ancient pine tree.

"I am Ling Daoren. The one guarding the Inheritance Hall of the Five Elements Immortal Mountain is an avatar of mine. I happen to have some free time, and seeing that you are seeking to establish your foundation in the Great Dao, I invite you to come and have a seat!"

The word 'Lingdao Ren' flashed through Zhao Yun's mind in an instant.

This is no ordinary Taoist name; it has a remarkable origin!

Why does the Wanling Yudao Immortal Sect begin with "Wanling" instead of the other three branches: Wanshou, Wanwu, and Wanhua?

That is the special characteristic of all living beings.

Therefore, the lineage of all spirits often produces a sect leader, and the sect leaders of the lineage of all spirits share the common name 'Spirit Daoist'!
Therefore, after hearing the title 'Ling Dao Ren', Zhao Yun immediately realized who he had met—this was at least a figure of immortal level or higher!

He immediately stood up: "Greetings, Sect Leader!" (End of Chapter)
