The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 105 Seeking the Truth

The true practitioners standing on the sky can get a glimpse of the whole picture, and the disciples inside the mountain gate also know that their sect is no longer as weak as before.

In the wide mountain gate, some elderly Qi-refining masters looked up at the sky, and couldn't help shedding tears as they looked at the vast and boundless formation.

They had shed blood and fought for the Taoist tradition, and had devoted their own efforts to it. Who wouldn't want their own sect to dominate the world one day?
In this world, the interests of sects and disciples are one and the same. No matter how harsh a sect is to its disciples, as long as they dare to defect from the sect, once the sect spreads the news, there will be almost no way out for them in the world.

But if you want to be a casual cultivator, your way forward is almost cut off.

Even the independent cultivators have factions. The scattered and weaker ones will mostly gather in Wushan Market to make a living. If they want to seek shelter, they need to go to Zhongtian City, which is where independent cultivators gather and is also the most prosperous and lively place on the entire Nanjue Island.

As for what the open sea is like, Li Yuan has never been there and cannot make a comparison.

In the Wanmu Realm, Li Yuan looked at the Qi Ling Gate outside the cave and smiled with relief on his face.

It is only because of the dedication and hard work and endurance of humiliation that we have achieved today’s prosperity.

Although he was in the World of Ten Thousand Trees, his spiritual thoughts could still extend outward. Moreover, even if he did not use his soul, as long as there was rain or dew within a hundred miles, he could use his spiritual power to sense and get a glimpse of the true appearance of the outside world.

Of course, even though his spiritual power is powerful now, the limit is only a hundred miles, which is far from comparable to the Jindan and upper-level true cultivators.

By the pool, Li Yuan raised his hand and lightly hooked his index finger. Then, small light blue butterflies flew up from the side of the courtyard wall, suspended in the air and merged into light blue spots, as magnificent as the soul river in a dream.

After several generations of reproduction and growth, the number of the Phantom Butterfly has reached nearly a thousand.

The bewitching power of a single Phantom Butterfly is enough to make a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining fall into an illusion. Thousands of butterflies gathering together can even shake the true spirit of a cultivator, causing him to fall into an illusion if he is not careful. However, the specific effect can only be known through actual combat.

This unique insect can only be more powerful when living in groups, but the Fantasy Butterfly is not multiplying much nowadays.

Even if he used his magical powers to seduce them, not many of these spirit butterflies would reproduce. Only a few would occasionally give birth to offspring, which made it difficult for the butterfly population to grow rapidly.

Li Yuan could only take care to raise them slowly and wait for the butterfly group to grow bigger. If there were tens of thousands of Phantom Butterflies and they grew and transformed again, even the higher-level True Cultivators would find it difficult to deal with them.

After all, the mutated Phantom Butterfly is not comparable to the low-grade Dark Corpse Crow.

After he sensed the growth status of these spirit butterflies one by one, he used his magical powers to bewitch them again. No matter if it worked or not, as long as he could bewitch as many as possible, as long as they were willing to mate and reproduce, it was good.

If the three yangs and three yins of ancient times still existed, the two images of Jueyang could be used to stimulate reproduction and growth.

Unfortunately, Jueyin and Yangming are both classified as Taiyang and Taiyin, and nowadays there is no way to draw analogies between them.

Li Yuan returned to the main courtyard and continued to study the precious talismans with great concentration. The third kind of precious talisman he learned was called the Xuanxu Shengming Precious talisman. This talisman was not used for fighting, but was a talisman used in ancient times to pray for communication between heaven and man and for the manifestation of responses from the gods.

For Li Yuan, the greatest effect of this talisman is that it can communicate with heaven and earth. It is very useful for him to break through the fourth or seventh level. It can sense the power of heaven and earth, and at least increase his chances of breaking through the fourth level by 20%.

The Qingyuan Jianshui Treasure Scroll is an auxiliary treasure scroll that helps in spiritual practice and promotes true energy.

When used alone, the Yunjiao Treasure Scroll is just a means of attack, but if it is accumulated into a formation, it becomes a good means of both offense and defense.

If all eighty-one cards could be gathered to form an ultimate formation, a high-level true cultivator trapped in the formation would at least suffer a loss of life.

However, to collect all eighty-one talismans, even if Li Yuan has extremely high ability in making talismans now, it will still take several years of preparation, drawing, and sealing to collect them all.

This is because he has the Ten Thousand Woods Realm to rely on. If it were any other true cultivator, it would probably take decades just to collect the spiritual wood.

Li Yuan cast aside all distracting thoughts, chanted a spell in his mind, and picked up the brush to draw the talisman.

"Great Mysterious God, the Lord of the Void and Mysterious Yuan. Born in the wilderness, he transforms and marks the root of the mystery. The five turbidities cannot disturb him, his bright and glorious form. Wearing the words of the bright sky, his body is illuminated by clouds and light. The jade talisman suppresses the inner world, and the heaven and earth shape the fetus. ..."

The soul cast a spell, heaven and earth communicated, Li Yuan seemed to be in a fairy palace in the sky, feeling the magic of the gods, he couldn't help but draw talismans, and the whole process was like flowing clouds and water, completed in one go!
When he regained consciousness, he saw a precious scroll emitting a bright white light floating in front of him.

“Even though I have pondered it many times before, my soul is strong, I have the blessing of this golden seal jade pen, and the talisman paper I use is made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, but it is impossible to succeed in one go.”

Li Yuan was confused. He asked himself that he was definitely not someone with a high talent for making talismans. He had not made the Yunjiao Treasure Scroll and Qingyuan Jianshui Treasure Scroll so smoothly before. It didn't make sense that the more complicated talisman in front of him could be made in one go. He recalled the spell again. The beginning of the talisman usually has the Taoist tradition. Could this Xuanxu Shengming Treasure Scroll belong to the Taixuan Induction Method?

However, what he had cultivated and gained, as well as the World of Ten Thousand Trees, were all clearly the Xuanyuan Taoist tradition, which was obviously different from the Taixuan, which might be the name of the Taoist tradition.

Xuanyuan should be the highest affiliation of the Taoist tradition. Under Xuanyuan there are many Taoist sects, and the Tianqi Immortal Sect is the immortal sect that inherited the Xuanyuan Taoist tradition.

It seems that Taixuan and Xuanyuan must have a great connection, otherwise he would not have been able to create the Taixuan Taoist Scroll in one go.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan came to the library, looked at the rows of empty books and stood at the "Daotong" pavilion. He picked up the only book among the two, turned to the front, wrote the three words "Taixuan Dao" on the page, and then recorded the results of the day, made a record, and then put it back to its original place.

This circular library is divided into twelve sections, namely formations, elixirs, treasures, talismans, monsters, puppets, magical powers, Taoist theories, Taoist traditions, historical records, and personal observations, a total of twelve categories.

He recorded everything he had learned, knew, and thought. For example, the content of the Taoist Canon of Talismans was too much, so he recorded it on jade slips. He also used jade slips to record the 4,000-year history of the Qi Ling Sect in the History of Events.

Because these are fixed inheritances and records that do not need to be changed, and the content is huge, it can only be recorded in jade slips.

As for things like Taoist Theories and Orthodoxy, they are all written personally and will be revised in a timely manner if any gains are made.

The Taoist Theory records the changes in the specific objects of the Five Elements Taoist tradition that he learned from various channels, as well as various details such as the methods of seeking the Tao, such as the positions of the Five Elements, the Nine Lights, the Seven Qis, the positions of the stars, and so on.

The Taoist tradition is at a higher level, but it is also the category with the least records, with only two volumes: [Taixuan Dao] and [Xuanyuan Dao].

Li Yuan was like an ignorant ant. He recorded everything he saw and knew in a book. His soul might be able to change, after all, he would walk out of the cave one day, but these books would not be disturbed by the various powerful beings in the cave isolated from the outside world.

This was the only way he could ensure that he would not miss any useful clues. He deduced step by step, keeping an eye on the location of Yuan Shui.

Li Yuan has always known the ambition he desires in his heart, the enterprising spirit hidden under his easy-going and relaxed appearance. From the moment he was a Qi-refining cultivator and obtained the Ten Thousand Wood Realm, becoming a true cultivator has been his only goal.

When he becomes a true cultivator and gains access to a wider world, the position of Yuanshui that hangs high outside the sky and is out of reach is something he dare not even think about, but must obtain in his will!
Li Yuan never speaks out his will. He used to hide himself, but now that he is alone, there is no need to speak out. He just works hard and does not need to speak out.

[Ji Guan] The books in that pavilion were filled with his various speculations and conjectures about Nanjue Island, but because it was just one person's opinion, it was called Ji Guan.

After writing down what he had learned today, Li Yuan did not leave, but instead concentrated on thinking about how to break through the fourth level.

According to his current cultivation progress, he will be able to complete the third turn in less than fifteen years. Thanks to the blessing of the Yuanshen of the Ten Thousand Trees Realm, his cultivation speed in the third turn of the soul-fusion realm is far superior to other cultivators. In addition, he is now like Yuanshui, residing behind the curtain, in a place other than the world, with a Yuanshui aura, which increases his cultivation speed by another point.

At that time, his original body must step out of the Ten Thousand Trees Realm and reach the South Extinction Island to break through the fourth level. He knew very well that the life evil accumulated by his practice of the Lower Yuan True Art of Spiritual Communication would become heavier and heavier, coupled with the heaven-defying behavior brought about by refining the Dharma Body, once he stepped out of the Ten Thousand Trees Realm, he would be doomed to die, which was the legendary imminent death.

Li Yuan must be fully prepared and anticipate all imaginary enemies and unknown enemies.

Of course, it would definitely not get to the point where a real person would have to take action personally, otherwise the Tianqi Immortal Sect's practice of these skills would not be a way to defy heaven, but a way to seek death.

Although these methods are dangerous, they still provide a chance to survive and avoid disasters.

If his fate now could attract the real person to take action, then he would be doomed to eternity.

Li Yuan stood in front of the Taoist book, flipping through the books one by one, picking up the one that specifically recorded the ancient Qi of Tianyan, looking at the description of the fate and calamity and comparing it with the memories in his soul, seeking a way to avoid the calamity.

Outside, at the gate of Qi Ling Mountain, on the osmanthus tree of Gu Chun Yuan, Chen Ming spat the soul beads in his mouth into the nest, hid them under his body, then lowered his head and bit one of the soul beads that looked weaker, slowly swallowed it into his stomach, and began to refine it with his eyes closed.

In the Chouyun Mountain, the patrolling disciples who were planting spiritual trees on the mountain were inspecting the trees as usual, but suddenly they saw gusts of cold wind blowing from the sky, and dark clouds gathered on the top of the mountain, covering the originally clear sky and bright day into a deep night.

"roar~"

A roar like that of an animal came from the bottom of the mountain, shaking the earth and rocks. Muffled thunder also came from the dark clouds in the sky, and there were faint flashes of lightning, like the wrath of the sky.

Many disciples were so frightened that they didn't even dare to fly in the sky. Looking at the terrifying clouds in the sky, many disciples murmured in their hearts that the law enforcement elder had practiced evil skills and was about to be punished by heaven!

But no one dared to say this, because the law enforcement elder was a true evil cultivator who could really kill people, extract souls and refine spirits, without any ambiguity!
