Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 165 The Northern Yin Fengdu Method

"The Northern Yin Fengdu Method is actually a summary of various methods."

Inside the Daluo Palace, Daoist Jingfeng recounted the lineage of the Fengyue Sect, revealing its secrets.

"The Fengyue School originated from Shangqing. In the Dongzhen Shangqing Kaitian Santu Qixing Yidu Jing, there is a chapter called Beidi Fengdu Liugong Du Sifa, which is a method of thinking about the six palaces, so that the spirit and soul pass through the yin to die and be reborn, and finally transform yin into yang to seek longevity."

In addition, there is the "Yuanshi Shuodu Fengdu Jing". The so-called Seven True Men of the Northern Yin in the scripture are the five internal organs and the Yin and Yang energies in the body. However, the method of cultivation is not to harmonize Yin and Yang, but to cultivate the spirit with Qi. First, cultivate pure Yin to purify the three souls and seven spirits, and then condense the solid spirit.

Therefore, it is said: "Flowing essence and jade-like radiance, nourishing my form and soul. Opening the gates of Dharma above, the divine wheel of flight soars to the heavens. Urging the three realms, I attain ultimate truth."

"Then there is the most famous 'Black Laws Book,' which is the most famous judicial precepts, but it actually contains a whole set of cultivation methods."

Master Jingfeng continued, "This includes establishing Fengdu Hell, capturing and punishing evil spirits, and summoning ghosts and gods to fight."

Yun Yang, listening from the side, seemed to understand but not quite, "Also a summoner?"

Master Jingfeng grinned, “In the eyes of evil spirits, we are the most powerful ghosts.”

As he spoke, Master Jingfeng made hand seals and chanted incantations, “I am no ordinary being, but the true form of the Northern Emperor. My head is like a black cloud, my hair like scattered stars. I reach the realm of the living above and the realm of the dead below.”

As Master Jingfeng chanted incantations, layers of mysterious black mist began to surround him, enveloping him and gradually spreading throughout the surrounding environment.

Although his appearance hasn't changed much, he still gives people a sense of gloom, terror, and oppressive authority, like a prison.

Moreover, although his aura clearly exuded a sinister aura, it was neither cold nor impure. Instead, it was a pure and unadulterated Xuan Yin evil energy, even carrying a hint of pure Yang within the Xuan Yin. It was not like a ghost, but like a god.

"What is this?" Gu Zhao asked.

"This is the Great Transformation Divine Incantation of the Northern Emperor's Black Book," Master Jingfeng said with a smile. "It transforms into the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the Northern Yin, using the Supreme Mystery to subdue demons. Once the decree is issued, all ghosts will submit."

Master Jingfeng took two steps, and suddenly a token formed from yin energy appeared in his hand, inscribed with seal script: "This is the command of the Nine Springs of Fengdu, which can summon ten thousand ghosts to fight."

After a pause, Master Jingfeng continued, "However, we must first capture the ghost, bring it into hell, punish and subdue it before we can drive it away."

Master Mingyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Nine Prisons of the Daoist School? How are they established?"

Master Jingfeng replied, "To achieve true enlightenment through cultivation, one must use divine power to construct a prison."

Master Mingyu understood immediately, "Another one who shares the incense offerings."

The power of incense is pure spiritual energy. Deities absorb it to enhance their souls, strengthen their ghostly bodies, and increase their divinity. However, there is always a limit to the amount that can be used, and much of the absorption and consumption is wasteful.

Besides this most fundamental function, the power of incense has many other uses, such as being used by Daoist Mingyu to refine the Heavenly Warriors.

Although he can only control a dozen or so Heavenly Warriors at the same time, he has accumulated more than that number. According to him, if a warrior is killed, there must be a reserve to take his place, right?

The same applies to Master Jingfeng now. He has achieved enlightenment through cultivation and is building a prison with his spirit, which is of course the most suitable method. However, since his spirit is not strong enough, he has built the most basic hell.

However, if one uses the power of incense to condense one's spirit and build a prison, as long as the power of incense is sufficient and one's spiritual cultivation is strong enough to control it, one can quickly establish a large and complete Daoist Nine Prisons.

Not everyone possesses the cultivation level of Houtu Niangniang, who can directly transform herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"I see." Gu Zhao understood, and then pulled Zhuo Qingyan over, "In the Northern Yin Fengdu Method, are there any methods suitable for ghosts and gods to cultivate?"

“Of course there is.” Master Jingfeng smiled. “Miss Zhuo has no evil aura, her body is filled with a faint light, and her soul is pure. Isn’t she exactly the Jade Maiden of the Primordial Mystery described in the scriptures?”

"The Purple Smoke of the Great Mystery, the Three Elements swirling. The Three Souls' passage, the Seven Spirits' Yin Spirit. The flowing essence and jade radiance, nourishing my form and soul." Master Jingfeng's gaze towards Zhuo Qingyan revealed a hint of admiration, "The Seven True Refining Souls and Spirits Method of the Northern Yin, even ghosts and gods can cultivate it."

Gu Zhao nodded with a smile, and Zhuo Qingyan quickly thanked him.

...The day after the fire.

Gu Zhao and his group patted their behinds and left, but they actually left behind a small but noticeable trail.

Mountain City, Meteorological Bureau.

"What are you looking at? Photoshopping a picture? A donut?"

"If I told you this was a weather map of the mountain city at noon yesterday, would you believe me?"

"I believe it. Back then, the weather map of the torrential rain in Shangdu, Henan Province, was still a Bagua formation, wasn't it? It was rumored online that it was a battle between our country's Taoist priests and Xiaoyinggao's Yin-Yang Masters."

"That's a single radar scan; it's normal!"

"Yeah, and then what?"

"And this isn't it." The person in front of the computer adjusted a few parameters. "This is the weather cloud map of the northwest of Fengxian County, a mountain city, from 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm yesterday. I sped it up fifty times. See for yourself."

The other person looked at the computer screen and saw irregular patches of bright red. "Is this yesterday's wildfire?"

The next moment, he was speechless.

A white dot suddenly appeared a little below the wildfire, representing a cloud. Then, the dot-shaped cloud grew rapidly at a visible speed, and expanded into a roughly circular shape.

He checked the time; in less than ten seconds, the cloud had completely enveloped the burning area.

"Then it started raining over there," the person in front of the computer said.

The other person nodded blankly, "I've heard about it."

After he finished speaking, the clouds on the screen began to dissipate, and then he saw an incredible scene.

The cloud started to dissipate from the center, then expanded outwards in concentric circles. At first, it resembled an old-fashioned Chinese fried dough, then gradually transformed into the famous international donut, and finally became similar to a hula hoop before completely dissipating.

Judging from the final frame of the video, the wildfire on the screen had been completely extinguished.

In other words, the cloud formation started at 1:30 p.m., took full shape in ten minutes, and then rained for more than twenty minutes. After extinguishing the wildfire, the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed.

There are many coincidences in the world, and this particular situation is nothing special. At most, people might marvel at it, but no one would think much of it. However, the process of this cloud formation and dissipation is truly...

"What the hell is this?"

"This is the weather cloud map of Fengxian County yesterday."

"Is this a joke?"

Do you really think this is funny?

The two looked at each other.

The second person asked, "Did you report it?"

"It's been reported." The first person nodded. "But there's been no feedback yet, it might be..."

Before he could finish speaking, another young man appeared breathlessly at the door of the monitoring room and shouted at the two of them, "Meeting! The director wants you to have a meeting!"
