Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 301 Establishing Political Parties
Li Yunjing wasn't just making wild guesses. In peacetime, the position of the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would naturally be filled by someone at the Golden Core stage!
However, in special times, Nascent Soul cultivators would remain in their positions until the world was at peace and the sect's crisis was resolved, at which point they would step down and focus on cultivation.

Li Yunjing was somewhat aware of the current situation. The sect leader, Ming Lingchuan, had no chance of abdicating. He needed to stabilize the situation in the "Across the Mountains" and suppress the counterattack of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect"!

There are so many things to deal with here!
These matters are simply beyond the capabilities of a Golden Core cultivator. Even a Golden Core sect leader cannot control the current situation. Li Yunjing naturally has his own analysis.

He believed that Ming Lingchuan would give him enough time and that he had a chance to compete for the position of Sect Leader.

After Li Yunjing shared his analysis, Yu Yuanhua fell silent.

"Are you so sure you'll break through to the Golden Core Realm before the Sect Master abdicates?"

Yu Yuanhua's expression was complicated. After a long while, he finally asked.

Is this kid overflowing with confidence, perhaps even a little blindly so?
There are at least three or four hundred true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", including some veteran true disciples who have advanced to the Golden Core Realm. What does Li Yunjing have to compete with?
"Hehe! I think I'm cultivating pretty fast! I'm not facing any bottlenecks at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once I go to Yingtian Prefecture for three or four months of seclusion, my magical power will reach the required level, and I'll naturally break through to the next level."

Li Yunjing chuckled and continued, "In three years, I should at least have advanced to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, right? Plus, I'm just too powerful. It seems like I could easily take on those senior brothers and sisters who are at the ninth level!"

"Forehead……"

After hearing Li Yunjing's explanation, Yu Yuanhua was speechless. In his heart, he roared, "Is this even human language?"

However, if Li Yunjing continues to be so assertive, perhaps I really can witness a miracle?

Yu Yuanhua stopped trying to persuade such a peerless genius.

He didn't understand the world of geniuses!
"Fine! I'm leaving! You figure it out yourself!"

In the end, Yu Yuanhua didn't know how he felt. Ignoring Li Yunjing's attempts to persuade him to stay, he left "Qiwu Manor".

"Sigh! Only three more days until I go to the mortal realm! But it's not bad. I'll be serving as the Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty in Yingtian Prefecture. I'll be high above everyone else, and no one will be as great as me. I'll be quite carefree and happy."

Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

At this time, the battle between Li Yunjing and Han Yanzhi spread like wildfire throughout the entire "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing, who was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, reversed Han Yanzhi's temporary breakthrough to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, causing a huge shock. All forces began to re-examine Li Yunjing and other young people of this era.

Previously, some things that Li Yunjing had discussed had not yet yielded results, and some people needed to consider them. However, after the outcome of the great battle, all of Li Yunjing's arrangements were approved.

Those who followed Li Yunjing generally obtained good jobs at their respective levels.

Li Yunjing's team has truly established itself as a mid-tier team.

The core members, including Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yang Wenzheng, Yu Zongzhe, etc., are all young people who have not been in the industry for long, with the oldest being only in their early 40s.

Among all the true disciples, this is definitely the youngest team.

Because of this, the team became more closely connected with the younger disciples, and many inner disciples, outer disciples, and even menial disciples wanted to join Li Yunjing's camp.

Li Yunjing's victory made this trend even more obvious.

At this time, Li Yunjing had not yet realized the extent of its influence.

He glanced at the sky; there was still time. So he settled down in the garden to meditate and cultivate.

In today's confrontation with Han Yanzhi, the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique" mental training method played a significant role.

Only with strong mental strength can one effectively resist some evil spells and mental attacks.

How powerful is Han Yanzhi's "Seven Emotions Gourd"?

Under normal circumstances, even experts at the seventh or eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm would have to pay a huge price to suppress the turbulent sea of ​​consciousness, and if they were not careful, they would suffer a qi deviation.

Li Yunjing was able to resist not only by relying on the Xuanmen scriptures, but also by the spiritual cultivation method of "Shenxiao Forging God Heavenly Secrets Technique".

This made his mental will extremely refined, to the point that Li Yunjing's mental power almost materialized.

As his cultivation deepened, the red mark between his eyebrows became increasingly clear, resembling a vertical eye.

This is the real Heavenly Eye!
The prototype of the Sky Eye!
If Li Yunjing can advance the "Divine Firmament Forging Technique" further, he can use the power of thunder in his sea of ​​consciousness and the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" as a medium to launch a mental attack in advance.

This kind of mental attack is not intangible or insubstantial; it is an attack that can truly manifest itself in a tangible and substantial form.

For example, if Li Yunjing were willing, he could activate the "Divine Firmament Forging Divine Secret Technique" to unleash the power of thunder in his sea of ​​consciousness. With the help of the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," he could connect the tangible and intangible, establish a channel, and shoot out the power of thunder in different forms from between his eyebrows to kill the opponent's soul!
That "power of thunder" can be unleashed using various tangible substances.

This ability is generally possessed only by cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

Of course, even Golden Core cultivators can only use it in a simple way. If they want their spiritual power to truly remain in the world outside their consciousness for a long time, they need to condense a Nascent Soul.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator's cultivation deepens, when their cultivation reaches a certain level, their Nascent Soul can leave their body, withstand the external environment, and barely exhibit a tangible manifestation.

Cultivating the Nascent Soul is a long process. As for the Nascent Soul transforming into a deity, Li Yunjing has not seen it in the current literature, and with his knowledge, he cannot deduce anything about it.

However, even with Li Yunjing's current knowledge, he knows that spiritual cultivation involves the path to the future.

In Buddhism, there are sages who regard the physical body as a stinking bag of skin, believing that the mind is the only real thing, and that all conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows.

This is to treat the physical body as a vessel to cross to the other shore, with only one purpose: to send one's spiritual body into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The spirit lives on forever!

Within the Xuanmen (Taoist school), there is a different theory: the dual cultivation of nature and life. Cultivating nature requires cultivating life, and the body and mind are cultivated together to reach the peak, achieving unity of body and spirit, and attaining the Great Dao.

Li Yunjing dared not comment on which of these principles was the orthodox one, but since both major sects regarded the spirit as the most important direction of cultivation, then they must be right.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was immersed in a deep understanding of the "Divine Firmament Forging Divine Secrets Technique," preparing to cultivate the parts he could to perfection.

Now, after three years of arduous training, Li Yunjing has mastered the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique" to a point where he is completely proficient.

The entire cultivation process was incredibly smooth. Li Yunjing's spiritual power, along with the Five Elements Qi and Thunder Power—two different systems of energy—intertwined and surged directly into his upper, middle, and lower dantian, forming a unique fusion.

Within Li Yunjing's internal organs, this special vital energy continuously circulates through the meridians and blood, cleansing every organ in his body.

Guided by his spiritual power, the two kinds of primordial energy within his internal organs formed a large circulation within his body. Every part of his body—organs, meridians, blood, skin, muscles, and bones—was cleansed and strengthened by this energy.

Within Li Yunjing's body, there was a great deal of lightning power that had settled inside.

These lightning forces were activated by the mixed primordial energy, causing crackling sounds to continuously emanate from Li Yunjing's body, further stimulating and developing his abilities.

Finally, the five elements and the power of thunder circulated throughout the body, rising from the bottom up and entering the brain. Guided by spiritual power, they entered the mysterious sea of ​​consciousness.

By visualizing his inner sea of ​​consciousness, Li Yunjing saw the five elements of primordial energy forming a flow of five-colored divine light, which shone brightly alongside the azure lightning.

Two streams of energy were drawn into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, where the special scepter swirled incessantly around its center—a place of profound mystery…

This energy circulated repeatedly, and finally, deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, it formed a mysterious Bagua diagram.

The two energies are the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, there is an indistinct object, like a Tai Chi fish, that drives the entire Yin-Yang Tai Chi Bagua diagram to rotate.

"Crack!"

Streams of energy vibrated out as the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Bagua diagram rotated, and from within the sea of ​​consciousness, the energy of black and white energies merging together was also stimulated.

Once this energy entered the brain, it began to circulate continuously throughout Li Yunjing's body, completing another full cycle.

The energy of black and white energies refines the body and strengthens the sea of ​​consciousness, while excess black and white energies nourish the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".

Outside Li Yunjing's body, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also drawn in, replenishing his energy reserves.

By cultivating both internal and external energies, the two energies transform from the illusory to the real, and from the real to the illusory, constantly changing and gradually converging to form an origin point that enters the sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately, this origin point exploded, forming a dense cluster of tiny, invisible dots.

It seems to be revealing the mystery of the Big Bang.

Finally, everything generated by the explosion was drawn in by the central sea of ​​lightning, transforming into a yin-yang symbol, a Tai Chi diagram, which rotated continuously around it...

This is a complete cycle of cultivation for Li Yunjing. As for the absorption of external primordial energy, Li Yunjing can naturally find the corresponding principles in the "Divine Firmament Jade Scroll," which are also common knowledge in Xuanmen cultivation.

However, there are no written records about the changes in Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness.

The things within his sea of ​​consciousness were too mysterious, and Li Yunjing could only passively accept everything. As for his attempts to activate the scepter deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, and the other hazy things, he was powerless to do so.

"call……"

After a complete cycle of Qi circulation, Li Yunjing opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The breath, which stretched for several meters, was exhaled from his nose like two sharp swords, slashing down a rockery in front of him and turning it into ashes.

"Having left the secular world, we must seize the time to cultivate!"

Feeling that his magical power and spirit had improved, Li Yunjing revealed a slight smile.

He remained seated cross-legged, pointed his finger forward, and a beam of yellow light shot out.

Near the vanished artificial hill, there was a loud "boom," and something seemed to emerge from the pool with a "glug-glug" sound.

The next instant, you could see stone slabs growing out of the water.

Many stone strips are intertwined to form a rockery.

This artificial mountain is exactly the same as the one that Li Yunjing destroyed with a breath of foul air earlier.

"not bad!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

Li Yunjing has reached a very high level in the cultivation of the Five Elements Daoist arts.

This artificial mountain is a result of his profound understanding of the "Great Way of Earth," which he reshaped using earth-based supernatural powers.

These are all just tricks!
If one day the "Great Way of Earth" is fully perfected, Li Yunjing can build a mountain with a single finger.

Even moving mountains and overturning seas, turning the world upside down, is within their grasp.

However, that realm involves immortals and gods, and Li Yunjing is still a long way from reaching that realm.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the western sky resembled a burning flame.

That was a beautiful scene of fiery clouds at sunset.

Li Yunjing knew that Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao would be arriving soon.

He returned to his room, tidied up the living room, and took out some spiritual fruits and tea to entertain his family and friends.

When it was completely dark, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yang Wenzheng, and others who had jade slip passes arrived together at "Qiwu Manor".

These people are the core members of the small team. As for the others, they did not come. For example, experts like Yu Zongzhe are in seclusion, stabilizing his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Even Li Yunjing didn't come out to watch the match.

"Hey! Old Li, this place is pretty good!"

Besides Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng were also visiting for the first time. Accompanied by Li Yunjing, they toured the place and couldn't help but show their surprise.

Li Yunjing's mansion is a large courtyard with three sections, complete with all kinds of rooms and facilities for cultivation. The scenery inside the manor is also quite beautiful.

In his spare time, Li Yunjing brought in some first and second-tier flowers and plants from outside and planted them in the garden, including some rather rare and precious varieties.

This is absolutely a top-tier resort; even people like Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng would be astonished.

Especially since Fu Chao knew Li Yunjing's background, he simply couldn't imagine that when Li Yunjing was an inner disciple, "Seven Star Palace" had assigned him such a good manor.

This shows how much they value Li Yunjing!
"Alright! Everyone, please make yourselves at home!"

Back in the living room, Li Yunjing asked with a smile, "How are everyone's profits?"

"Hehe! Not bad! Let me tell you! This time, those who were secretly opposing us suffered heavy losses!"

Fu Chao got excited as soon as he started talking about it. "Those rivals who wanted to compensate us turned pale, especially that bastard He Bao. He followed Han Yanzhi and always thought highly of him. They placed a huge bet on him, and now he's bankrupt!"

"It's even possible that He Bao will need to take money from his family to compensate him, and that kid will be ruined from now on."

When the matter was mentioned, Fu Chao showed excitement.

"Okay! That's good!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his expression quite indifferent; he didn't care much about these trivial matters.

"Old Li, I've given all your profits to your wife!"

Fu Chao chuckled again.

"understood!"

Li Yunjing nodded. He had also placed a considerable bet, and with the additional profits from this opening, his earnings were substantial.

"By the way! Brother, our team has been around for a while now and is quite famous. How about we set up an organization to expand our strength on a large scale?"

After everyone finished discussing the issue of profits, Yang Wenzheng asked a question.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Yang Wenzheng's words, Li Yunjing was taken aback and somewhat tempted. As the saying goes, without a proper name, words cannot be proper. His team did not yet have a tight organization and could not gather its strength to form a powerful force.

This somewhat affected the team's strength!
As more and more people join, if things continue like this, not only will we fail to improve our strength, but the team will also become a disorganized mess due to the diverse group of people.

"Yes! I also think this is a problem! There should be some rules! It doesn't have to be as well-organized as the 'Ten Thousand Laws Association,' but it should at least be similar, with some rules."

Fu Chao, unusually serious, nodded and said.

"Alright! I also think it's time to show off our brand!"

Seeing that Yang Wenzheng and Fu Chao shared the same idea, Li Yunjing went along with it and agreed.

As for Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, Li Yunjing didn't need to ask any questions. They were his women, so they would naturally follow his arrangements.

"What name should we give it?"

Lu Ruoxi asked curiously.

"This one……"

Yu Yunyi, Yang Wenzheng, and Fu Chao all fell silent; for a moment, no suitable name came up.

In the end, all four of them turned their gaze to Li Yunjing.

After all, Li Yunjing is now the leader and backbone of their team. It is only right and proper for Li Yunjing to propose such an important matter as establishing the organization.

"Alright! In that case, I'll come up with a name."

Seeing everyone's gaze, Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then said, "There are nine heavens, with the Divine Heaven being the highest. The nine heavens include the Divine Heaven, Azure Heaven, Jade Heaven, Crimson Heaven, Scenic Heaven, Jade Heaven, Lang Heaven, Purple Heaven, and Supreme Heaven."

“Our cultivation level isn’t that high either. Since this is the second stage of cultivation, how about we call ourselves the ‘Purple Cloud Party’?”

Li Yunjing left something unsaid: one day, he would ascend to the supreme throne of the sect leader, becoming "Shenxiao," corresponding to the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

"Okay! Let's call each other that then!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's decision, everyone nodded and excitedly began to establish their future organization.

After the "Purple Cloud Party" was established, Li Yunjing and four others began to discuss the details, including the party's system, regulations, recruitment conditions for members, and the responsibilities, obligations, and benefits of members.
