Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 302 On the Road

This discussion lasted for three hours before the rules were finally settled.

The supreme leader of the "Purple Cloud Party" was naturally Li Yunjing.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yang Wenzheng, Yu Zongzhe, and five others became core members, collectively responsible for the daily affairs of the "Zixiao Party".

According to regulations, all the rules of the "Zixiao Party" are based on the laws of the "Shenxiao Daozong" and are a continuation of the will of the "Shenxiao Daozong".

In short, the establishment of the "Zixiao Party" was not to split the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but rather to create a force within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to better serve it.

Just like the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly," this organization had various problems within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but its merits outweighed its flaws, and the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly" played a very important role in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

After Li Yunjing arrived at the front line, he saw and heard too many things about the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly".

Some of the main members of the "Ten Thousand Laws Society" have been active on the front lines, and the tragic deeds they have committed are countless. This is also the reason why the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" tacitly approves of the existence of these small teams.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect is simply too vast!

Nearly a million disciples were scattered throughout the entire Southern Heaven Continent, resembling a kingdom.

With so many disciples, each with their own unique thoughts and personalities, it was inevitable that many like-minded people would gather together, form groups, and create small teams.

Not to mention the disciples, even among the elders, they all formed factions; that's human nature!
Among mortals, there are factions and cliques, and cultivators are no exception. They need to stick together for mutual support, especially powerful forces.

The establishment of the "Zixiao Party" signifies that Li Yunjing transformed from a single disciple into a leader who leads a group of people in their struggle for a shared dream.

Besides fighting for their own interests internally, the "Purple Cloud Party" mostly deals with external affairs.

"call……"

After three hours of heated discussion, the framework was finally established.

From now on, the criteria for recruiting members will be limited to Foundation Establishment cultivators and inner disciples only. Outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples will not be included in the recruitment process.

"Okay! Let's go!"

After the matter was settled, Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Okay! You all should put in more effort for the team's affairs! I'm going to Yingtian Prefecture, so I can't participate in the sect's matters."

Li Yunjing stood up, intending to see Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng off. He felt relieved, at least he no longer needed to get involved in the "Purple Cloud Party" affairs.

It's important to understand that many of the disciples in the "Zixiao Party" are his acquaintances, making it extremely difficult to treat them all equally.

Li Yunjing left for three years, leaving the work to Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng. Since the two of them were not familiar with the others, they naturally did not need to consider anyone's feelings and could arrange positions fairly.

After seeing off Fu Chao and Yang Wenzheng, Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you have now become the leader of the 'Purple Cloud Party'."

"Heh! Why are we talking about this between us?"

Li Yunjing waved his hand dismissively and said.

"You're going to Yingtian Prefecture, the two of us will go with you!"

Lü Ruoxi chimed in.

"Forget it! The secular world isn't a good place either, what's the point of you going there?"

Li Yunjing shook his head and rejected the suggestion. He instructed, "Focus on your cultivation and improve your cultivation level as soon as possible. That's more important than anything else! I have a feeling that there will be some changes in the future. If your cultivation level is too low, don't expect anything else!"

"what?"

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were somewhat confused, not understanding what Li Yunjing meant.

Li Yunjing simply shook his head and did not elaborate.

The matter of the sect leader abdicating is just Li Yunjing's speculation and should not be taken seriously, so he naturally wouldn't spread it around.

Li Yunjing should keep these things to himself.

After resting for a night, Li Yunjing left the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" early the next morning, ignoring Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi's attempts to persuade him to stay.

That "Azure Cloud Boat" was also handed over to Li Yunjing by Yu Yunyi.

After Li Yunjing escorted Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi back to their respective mountain peaks, he prepared to head to Yingtian Prefecture ahead of schedule.

Just as Li Yunjing arrived at "Jade Maiden Peak" and was about to leave after giving Lü Ruoxi a few instructions, a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator suddenly appeared outside the door, saying that Lü Ruoxi's teacher had summoned Li Yunjing.

"what!"

Li Yunjing shuddered in fright. Only then did he remember that he had used the powerful figure's clone to survive the ordeal at the border.

On that day, this important figure wanted to summon him to see what kind of person Li Yunjing was and how he could catch up with his disciple Lü Ruoxi.

Now, it seems they're mainly looking for him!
How could Li Yunjing not be afraid?
The woman was clearly an extremely domineering woman, with the air of a queen, high and mighty, and arrogant.

Li Yunjing has always kept his distance from this type of woman.

"Hehe! Let's go! It seems my teacher knows you're here!"

When Lü Ruoxi saw that Li Yunjing's face had turned pale, she couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Normally, if Li Yunjing saw Lü Ruoxi displaying her beautiful figure, he would definitely be very interested in going up and getting intimate with her. But now his heart was pounding so hard that he had no such thoughts at all.
"Sigh! Let's go!"

Li Yunjing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

As for not going?

Even if you beat Li Yunjing to death, he wouldn't dare!
Putting aside the relationship between Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi, even if Lü Ruoxi's teacher were a powerful expert at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, he wouldn't dare to refuse!
"Alright! I'll take you to 'Champs-Élysées,' that's where my teacher usually lives. Come with me!"

After speaking to Li Yunjing, Lü Ruoxi sent the fellow disciple away before taking Li Yunjing out to pay respects to their teacher.

"By the way! Tell me some information about your teacher! I don't know anything about your teacher yet!"

Once outside, as they walked up the mountain, Li Yunjing sent a telepathic message.

"Yes! Let me tell you! My teacher, Master Jingxuan, is an elder of our 'Jade Maiden Peak' lineage. She focuses solely on cultivation and doesn't concern herself with worldly affairs. You are incredibly lucky to be able to meet my teacher!"

Lu Ruoxi transmitted her voice.

Jingxuan Zhenren?

I can't see any connection between this person and the word "stillness"!

Lu Ruoxi's residence was located at the top of "Jade Maiden Peak," not far from "Champs-Élysées Pavilion." The two encountered many fellow disciples along the way, and after exchanging greetings, they arrived at "Champs-Élysées Pavilion."

The Champs-Élysées is not a magnificent palace; it is simply a sanctuary with beautiful surroundings that brings peace to the soul upon entering.

Deep within a field of flowers, there are several wooden houses.

The Taoist temple of Master Jingxuan had a simple and natural charm, which calmed Li Yunjing down and relieved him of his previous tension.

Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi walked along the cobblestone path and arrived at the front of a wooden house. There they saw a graceful Taoist priest carrying a water jug, watering the flowerbeds around her.

Master Jingxuan was a Taoist priest in her forties. Her eyebrows were as dark as smoke, her face was pure and beautiful, and she wore no makeup or ornaments.

This beautiful woman was like a lotus flower amidst a sea of ​​blossoms, elegant and refined.

"Teacher! Your disciple has come to pay his respects!"

Upon seeing the Taoist priest, Lü Ruoxi greeted him with a smile.

As for Li Yunjing, he dared not say anything and obediently followed Lü Ruoxi, bowing to Jingxuan Zhenren.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Master Jingxuan put down the water jug ​​in her hand, turned around, looked at her disciple, shook her head slightly, and said with displeasure at his lack of progress, "Why hasn't your cultivation improved yet?"

"Teacher, I have been working very hard! I feel that I will be able to advance to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in less than two years."

Lu Ruoxi had long since figured out her teacher's temperament. She stepped forward with a smile, took her teacher's arm, and pointed at Li Yunjing.

"This is the Daoist partner I've chosen! Li Yunjing from the Seven Star Palace, extremely powerful, the number one genius among the true disciples of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

Lu Ruoxi praised Li Yunjing to her teacher.

Li Yunjing was a little embarrassed by these words, but Lü Ruoxi's praise still made him very happy.

She is an extremely intelligent woman, and it's no wonder Li Yunjing likes her so much.

You should know that some foolish women always talk about how bad their men are in front of others; this is a sign of extremely low intelligence.

When Lü Ruoxi said that, Jingxuan Zhenren originally wanted to give Li Yunjing a hard time.

But now, they've changed their minds again, not wanting to embarrass Li Yunjing.

The factor at play here is naturally the degree to which her beloved disciple values ​​her man. If Lü Ruoxi doesn't treat Li Yunjing as a human being, then Jingxuan Zhenren certainly won't consider Li Yunjing a worthy opponent either.

"Ok!"

After examining Li Yunjing, Master Jingxuan was quite surprised.

Foundation Establishment Realm, Third Heaven!

When this person broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was after his own disciple, right?
In other words, Li Yunjing spent three or four years breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and reaching the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Moreover, upon observation, Li Yunjing's body was very strong and powerful, and it seemed that he had also cultivated a first-class body-strengthening technique.

Furthermore, given his refined true essence, Li Yunjing's mastery of both martial arts and magic makes him a formidable opponent.

At this moment, Master Jingxuan was unaware that Li Yunjing had just defeated a temporary Foundation Establishment Realm seventh level cultivator on the "Grievance Platform"!

Otherwise, even this important figure would be astonished!

Even a genius like her couldn't compare to Li Yunjing's achievements when she was young!

"You two come with me to that pavilion over there."

After giving the order, Master Jingxuan set off.

Lu Ruoxi naturally supported this important figure, smiling broadly.

Li Yunjing, on the other hand, followed obediently behind, like a lackey.

"You're quite talented, but I've heard you're a bit of a womanizer?"

The three of them sat down in the pavilion, and then Master Jingxuan began her attack.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this difficult topic, Li Yunjing was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to answer?

The answer is, otherwise I'll get criticized?
The answer is no, isn't that a lie?
Who doesn't know that Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi are both Li Yunjing's Daoist partners!
"teacher……"

Seeing Li Yunjing in a dilemma, Lü Ruoxi spoke up, shaking Jingxuan Zhenren's arm and acting coquettishly in front of her teacher.

"Ugh……"

Master Jingxuan sighed. "Girls are so outgoing. Once they have a lover, they forget about their teacher."

"Boy! I'm warning you, if you do anything to betray Ruoxi, I'll make sure you die a horrible death! Even the sect rules can't save you!"

Master Jingxuan could only glare at Li Yunjing and threaten him fiercely.

"Rest assured, Master! My feelings for Lü Ruoxi are genuine! You don't need to tell me, but anyone who dares to make Ruoxi unhappy will not be spared, including myself!"

At this point, Li Yunjing naturally knew what to say.

"That's good!"

Master Jingxuan nodded, her expression softening considerably. She then said, "Now that you and Ruoxi have become Daoist partners, you must treat her well. If you encounter any trouble in the outside world, you can tell me!"

"Thank you, Masato!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Unexpectedly, Master Jingxuan actually looks at me differently because of Lü Ruoxi and is willing to mentor me!

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Li Yunjing, with Lü Ruoxi's help, became a little closer to Master Jingxuan, and took the chance to ask her a few questions about cultivation.

With Lü Ruoxi's help, Master Jingxuan really shared some valuable insights, guiding Li Yunjing on some cultivation issues. In particular, her guidance on the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secret Technique" enlightened Li Yunjing on many issues, and he benefited greatly.

An hour later, after bidding farewell to Master Jingxuan, Li Yunjing left satisfied.

As for Lü Ruoxi, she was kept in the "Xiangxie Pavilion" by Master Jingxuan. Ever since she saw Li Yunjing's talent, Master Jingxuan had been preparing to give her disciple some extra tutoring.

She was a strong-willed person throughout her life, and she did not want her disciples to become Li Yunjing's vassals simply because they were weak.

Without mentioning how Master Jingxuan taught her disciples, Li Yunjing set off on the Azure Cloud Boat after leaving Jade Maiden Peak.

Yingtian Prefecture was located on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty and served as the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving the Shenxiao Mountains, the Qingyun Boat traversed the east-west direction of the Ming Dynasty.

When the "Azure Cloud Boat" flew to the Central Plains, Li Yunjing, who was on the "Azure Cloud Boat", suddenly sensed a trace of death energy.

"Huh? Death aura?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback and immediately scanned the area with his divine sense. He saw a small town in the center of a plain below, which was faintly shrouded in deathly aura.

"Could it be that someone from the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect' has infiltrated?"

Li Yunjing immediately became alert. The "Azure Cloud Boat" slowly descended from a height of ten thousand feet to a height of one thousand feet.

Li Yunjing continued to look down, his divine sense scanning the area. He discovered that the town was devoid of life; everyone was dead, even the cattle and sheep were all gone.

That's a bit strange!

Could it be that the demonic cultivators have gone mad and started slaughtering these people?
But what's the use of that?

The lives of some mortals are insignificant, but the demonic cultivators' actions only exposed their identities, prompting the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to issue arrest warrants for them!

Only a fool would choose to do that!
"Let's go down and take a look!"

Li Yunjing was also a bold man. After noticing something amiss, he immediately set out to investigate the truth.

He put away the "Azure Cloud Boat," carefully flew down, and landed outside the town.

Li Yunjing concealed his aura and entered the town, only to discover that the dense aura of death was mixed with the stench of corpses.

He pushed open each door and saw corpses, all drained of blood. Judging from the lividity, they had been dead for at least three days.

"Bastard!"

Li Yunjing's face was extremely ugly. The thing he hated most was slaughtering ordinary people!

What kind of skill is it for cultivators to fight each other and target mortals?
Li Yunjing quickly moved through the town, checking each house one by one, and finally confirmed that there really wasn't a single survivor left.

"There weren't any clues left here! It's too easy for cultivators to slaughter mortals! There's no trace left at all!"

Just as Li Yunjing was in a dilemma, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

A golden light shot up from the ancestral hall in the town, soaring straight into the sky.

The golden light shone directly into the clouds and lasted for a quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating and disappearing.

"Could there be some kind of treasure hidden in this town? Are these people massacring the town for that treasure?"

Li Yunjing frowned, hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to go and take a look at the ancestral hall.

He had no idea who these people were or what their cultivation levels were!
"There shouldn't be any Golden Core cultivators, right?"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, finding a reason for himself, and said, "A Golden Core cultivator can enter without alerting anyone, without having to kill anyone to cover it up!"

"Anyone capable of doing something like this must be incompetent!"

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing became bolder.

Li Yunjing flashed and transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Standing at the entrance, Li Yunjing's divine sense immediately detected several faint fluctuations of energy emanating from the ancestral hall.

"It seems to smell like someone I know?"

Sensing something vaguely, Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, stood at the doorway, and stopped in his tracks.

After a while, those auras seemed to disappear again, as if these people had left.

"They entered the underground treasure vault?"

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and he moved quickly, chasing after the ancestral hall.

Upon entering the main hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a cave!
The paving stones were scattered everywhere, along with some soil dug out from below, which made Li Yunjing realize that this was exactly what he had thought!

These people really did pass through the tunnel and go down below!
"Good heavens! These people didn't use any supernatural powers; instead, they used the most primitive digging methods. What's underground?"

Li Yunjing peered down, seemingly lost in thought.
