Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 328 Offering suggestions
If it circulates within the "Shenxiao Daozong" sect, it can practically arm oneself to the teeth.

This wealth is something even elders at the Golden Core stage would envy.

Of course, Li Yunjing's contributions were significant enough that such a large reward was entirely justified.

"Alright! Everyone, let's talk! The people from 'Mingxin Temple' have all infiltrated our rear area. What do you mean by this?"

Ming Lingchuan tossed the identity token to Li Yunjing, glanced around the room, and asked casually.

Upon hearing the Sect Leader's words and recalling this terrifying outcome, the elders' faces turned extremely grim. However, due to the gravity of the matter, many dared not speak easily, resulting in a profound silence in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ming Lingchuan looked at the experts in the front row of the elders.

"Vice Hall Master Wan, your 'Enforcement Hall' is in charge of external affairs. Tell us about this matter!"

Ming Lingchuan asked Wan Lingshi, the deputy head of the "Enforcement Hall".

"Then I'll explain."

Wan Lingshi blushed, coughed twice to draw everyone's attention to himself, and said slowly, "Everyone, the East Sea and the South Sea are both territories of my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'. However, for many years, the sect's strength has been mainly concentrated in the north, fighting in the 'Hengyue Mountain Range', which has allowed these insignificant fellows to gain influence at sea!"

"What I mean is, now that we've taken over the 'Mountain Crossing,' we should allocate a portion of our army to sweep through the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Whether they are demonic cultivators or bald monks, we should kill them all without mercy, execute them on the spot, and leave no one alive!"

At this point, Wan Lingshi's face was filled with murderous intent, as if he would not stop until blood flowed like a river!

Li Yunjing couldn't help but glance at the head of the "Enforcement Hall." He was indeed quite domineering, but Li Yunjing liked it very much. This was the tough side of the sect!

When dealing with enemies, we must sweep them away like autumn leaves, showing no mercy whatsoever!
After hearing this, some people showed expressions of agreement, while others looked worried and remained silent.

Normally, the Shenxiao Dao Sect could mobilize a large army to sweep through the East China Sea and the South China Sea, which would be enough to stabilize the rear.

However, the "Crossing the Mountains" project was not yet ready, and the demons and monsters in the mountains had not been cleared out. In addition, the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" was still plotting a counterattack against "Shenxiao Pass" from the direction of "Youyue Kingdom".

These are all potential risks!

If this situation goes wrong, it could lead to a collapse on both fronts.

It should be noted that the enemies of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are not ordinary people; they are all behemoth sects of Buddhism and Demonism. The fact that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is fighting against two or even more behemoth sects on its own is not a good thing at all!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect needs more time!
Before the "Crossing the Mountains" is fully developed and its energy is converted, some prudent elders are unwilling to make a big fuss at this time.

After Wan Lingshi finished explaining his thoughts, he was taken aback when no one responded. Then, anger appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? It's not that the people from 'Mingxin Temple' have come to our doorstep, and we're going to pretend we're deaf and dumb?"

"This one……"

The elders seemed to agree that this wouldn't work, but they couldn't come up with a better solution.

"Li Yunjing, what do you think?"

At this moment, Ming Lingchuan looked at Li Yunjing and asked for his opinion.

"I?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, not expecting that he would still have a say at this crucial moment.
Even the elders looked at Li Yunjing, seemingly wondering why the sect leader valued this young man so much.

Perhaps Li Yunjing is exceptionally talented, arguably the disciple with the best cultivation talent in a thousand years.

However, Li Yunjing is still too weak and has not undergone top-level training. He doesn't even understand the situation of the entire Southern Continent. What qualifications does he have to offer advice?
“Speak up! Young people also need to gradually learn to shoulder responsibilities. Whether it’s right or wrong, you can speak your mind.”

Ming Lingchuan looked at Li Yunjing and smiled as he encouraged the young man.

After several encounters, Li Yunjing's abilities have caught Ming Lingchuan's attention. Since he is such an outstanding talent, he should naturally nurture him and let him show his true potential.

Now, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" appears to be incredibly powerful, striking down all enemies and sweeping away all other sects.

In reality, there are many hidden dangers. Otherwise, Ming Lingchuan would have abdicated long ago and devoted himself to cultivation, focusing on the path to Nascent Soul.

"Alright! Then I will speak. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me, Your Excellency and all the elders!"

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The situation in the South China Sea is relatively stable, so let's not make any moves for now!"

"However, we can't stay still here in the East China Sea!"

"The Buddhist sect has even sent out the Asura Dharma Protector, and there are several Golden Core Realm experts active in the East Sea. Even the 'Soul Control Sect' has been won over by the Buddhist sect. We can no longer sit idly by."

"There are many sects in the East Sea. We cannot forcefully suppress them all with overwhelming force!"

"I think we can investigate the influence of Buddhism and the demonic sects on one hand, and on the other hand, offer enough benefits to win over other forces!"

"The Buddhist sect may pay some price to recruit henchmen, but our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' is large and powerful, and we also have the strength of the host country to deter the East Sea. I don't believe we can't subdue these forces."

"Aren't there some ambitious people from mystical sects or families in the East China Sea?"

"Let's see who's the strongest, then we'll bet big to help those forces, command the East Sea, and become long-term allies with my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

"I think there must be forces that are tempted to use the power of our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' to compete and fight against the demonic cultivators and Buddhists, right?"

"In this way, our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' can achieve the greatest results with the least cost!"

"I don't know if I'm right?"

After saying this, Li Yunjing looked at the Sect Leader and then at the elders around him, and said nervously.

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's detailed plan, all the elders present were dumbfounded.

Li Yunjing's method is highly feasible!

The East China Sea and the South China Sea are both areas where the power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" radiates. There are many Xuanmen forces and some families in these areas that originally had connections with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

There are indeed a few that meet the criteria for support, and we can really use their strength to sweep away the demonic and Buddhist sects and stabilize our rear.

At this moment, all the elders looked at Li Yunjing with expressions of approval.

Fighting and killing, what a bunch of scoundrels!

A person with both wisdom and courage is the true talent, the pillar of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, and the future leader!
"Clap clap clap..."

Ming Lingchuan looked at Li Yunjing approvingly, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Very good! Li Yunjing, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

"Thank you for the praise, Your Excellency!"

Li Yunjing was secretly pleased, at least he hadn't made a fool of himself in front of these important figures.

The question just now was something Li Yunjing came up with on a whim. In reality, he hadn't done any research, and he didn't think he was qualified to make decisions for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

This is like being forced into a situation; it's something they had no other choice.

Fortunately, I have some skills, so I'm not completely useless. Instead of gaining points, I actually lost a lot of points.

"Li Yunjing, the third volume of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method is hereby bestowed upon you!"

Ming Lingchuan pointed a finger, and a vast expanse of multicolored light entered Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness from between his eyebrows.

"Om..."

Li Yunjing was startled at first, but then calmed down and remained motionless. His own sect leader would never harm him, and besides, even if such a powerful figure did harm him, there was nothing he could do about it.

When Li Yunjing heard the sect leader say that he would be taught the contents of the third volume of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method in advance, he was overjoyed. This was the cultivation method he was determined to obtain!

If Li Yunjing were to exchange for it himself at the "Scripture Pavilion," the amount of contribution points would be astronomical!
Now, the Sect Master is cultivating him and has directly passed on the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" to Li Yunjing, which can save a lot of contribution points.

This will provide Li Yunjing with many conveniences for his future development.

“Li Yunjing, you will go back and wait for seven days. Afterwards, you will go to the East Sea with the main force!” Ming Lingchuan continued, “Your task is still to be stationed at Shenxiao Temple, but you have an additional task: to be responsible for stabilizing the rear and providing assistance to the Shenxiao Dao Sect army at the front.”

"Thank you, Your Excellency Headmaster. This disciple will do my utmost!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed. He bowed to the Sect Leader and then to the elders before backing out of the Divine Firmament Hall.

Li Yunjing never expected such a big surprise this time.

Li Yunjing has almost finished cultivating the second volume of "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

Now that he had the contents of the third volume, which had been directly implanted into his mind by the Sect Master, Li Yunjing kept recalling it in his mind after leaving the house, merging it with the second volume, and slowly comprehending it.

After Li Yunjing returned to Qiwu Manor, he immediately wrote it down from memory and carefully treasured it.

At this moment, neither Yu Yunyi nor Lü Ruoxi were present at "Qiwu Villa".

Clearly, the two women were bored after Li Yunjing left, so they moved back to their own residence.

Having now obtained the cultivation technique, Li Yunjing had no interest in finding Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi. Instead, he began cultivating the third volume of the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

After the book was rewritten, Li Yunjing began to read it and immediately found a new direction for the development of "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

Currently, the second volume of "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method" involves cultivating the power of the five elements in sequence, condensing "Bing Fire Divine Thunder", "Geng Metal Divine Thunder", "Kui Water Divine Thunder", "Xu Earth Divine Thunder" and "Yi Wood Divine Thunder".

The third volume introduces the initial integration of the five elements, and the deep integration of thunder magic with the five elements.

One direction is to use the power of the five elements to generate endlessly, and to use the power of thunder to create various tangible substances.

This is a long-term practice process.

After carefully reading through the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," Li Yunjing put the book away, placed his hands in front of his chest, and formed hand seals. Strands of true energy condensed at his fingertips, and with the power of thunder, he formed a crackling lotus flower on his hands.

Li Yunjing looked at the lotus flower in his hand, and uttered a low shout: "Change!"

This blue lotus flower, activated by Li Yunjing's Five Elements power, suddenly transformed and bloomed into its most beautiful flower.

That azure lotus, in the end, changed again, from blooming to withering, over and over again, life and death, endlessly reincarnating.

"Disperse!"

Looking at the lotus flower in his hand, Li Yunjing was overjoyed. He let out a low shout and his hands quickly formed hand seals. With a "crackling" sound, the lotus flower petals scattered in all directions.

Flowers bloom and fade!

This lotus flower, formed by lightning magic, seemed to have come to life, almost as if it were real.

Petals fell one by one, scattering in all directions, forming a rain of flowers.

Li Yunjing's hands grasped and squeezed again, and all the petals were once again held in his hands.

He crumpled the petals, and they transformed into a thunder pearl.

The thunder pearl in Li Yunjing's hand underwent another change as his Five Elements power was infused into it, transforming into thin threads.

The threads multiplied and eventually formed a whisk in Li Yunjing's hand!
“Pah-pa-pa!”

Li Yunjing held a whisk made of lightning magic, and with a wave of his hand, fine strands of electricity once again burst forth with dazzling arcs of electricity, crackling incessantly.

As Li Yunjing cast his spell here, his magical power was almost exhausted.

The whisk in Li Yunjing's hand slowly dissipated and eventually disappeared.

"call……"

Li Yunjing let out a long breath, sat down cross-legged, and slowly meditated to recover his depleted magical power.

Half a day later, Li Yunjing was in high spirits again, and then took out "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method" again to continue reading the contents of the third volume.

"The third volume of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method contains more information about the power of heavenly thunder and the fusion of the five elements!"

Li Yunjing flipped through the books, seemingly lost in thought, and murmured to himself, "If my thunder magic were cultivated to a higher level, and my five elements power were more profound, perhaps the combination of the two great paths could give birth to a kind of spirit, or even life?"

With this in mind, Li Yunjing had a further idea.

Perhaps by combining one's "puppetry skills", "weapon crafting skills", "talismanic arts", "thunderous arts", and "five elements", one can achieve a perfect fusion, thereby sublimating one's supernatural powers and making them more spiritual.
Of course, just like with supernatural powers, perhaps through refining magical artifacts, one's own magical treasures will also become more spiritual, as if they were alive.
Once it has fully gained sentience, its own magical artifacts might be able to unleash 100% of their power, just like a person, without needing Li Yunjing, its master, to activate them.

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing's heart clenched painfully.

Is it that they were able to draw this conclusion on their own, or do all the elders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have this ability?
Li Yunjing hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Li Yunjing knew quite a few elders, but he wouldn't go so far as to pry into their cultivation secrets, would he?
Thinking of this, Li Yunjing began to deduce in his mind that perhaps his first experimental subject would be the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".
Or perhaps "Five Dragon Wheels"?
With new deductions, Li Yunjing was extremely excited, but at this moment, he did not have time to study the secrets inside for a long time!
However, with a direction in mind, there would always be time in the future. As Li Yunjing thought of this, his expression gradually returned to normal.

However, one could tell from the slight flicker in Li Yunjing's eyes that he was excited.

This cultivation took Li Yunjing two full days before he stopped practicing the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

Li Yunjing has five days left before returning to Yingtian Prefecture. He needs to refine his treasures again and create more "puppet mechanical beasts." Only in this way can Li Yunjing survive with ease amidst the chaos of the East Sea in the future.

Refining weapons, alchemy, talisman making, puppet training, and array formation cultivation—one direction, one day.

Li Yunjing made the most of the remaining five days, not wasting a single moment.

During the seven days that Li Yunjing was cultivating, turmoil was brewing within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

After Li Yunjing left the "Divine Firmament Palace", Ming Lingchuan readjusted and optimized the direction of the operation based on Li Yunjing's strategy.

Soon, a prominent figure from the sect emerged from seclusion and personally led a team of ten Golden Core elders and twenty top Foundation Establishment cultivators to the East Sea.

To carry out the sect's plan to win over the forces of the Xuanmen and wipe out demonic and Buddhist cultivators!

This time, the East China Sea operation was not carried out with great fanfare, but it was of great significance and no less important than the previous "Mountain Crossing" operation.

On the seventh day, the "Shenxiao Warship" appeared outside "Seven Star Peak". Li Yunjing was notified and boarded the treasure ship directly.

"Disciple greets the Ancestor! Greetings to this Elder! And fellow disciples!"

Upon boarding the "Divine Firmament Warship," Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected there to be so many experts on this treasure ship.

Among them, even experts at the Nascent Soul Realm appeared.

"Hmm! Li Yunjing! Very good! The Sect Master has already told me about your situation. You are an excellent disciple, and I hope you will live up to the sect's trust, forge ahead bravely, and advance to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible!"

This Nascent Soul Realm ancestor was completely unfamiliar to Li Yunjing, but that didn't mean the ancestor didn't appreciate Li Yunjing's talent.

No one could dislike such an outstanding young man!
"Thank you for your praise, Ancestor! There is still much for me to learn. The road ahead is long and arduous! I hope that if you have the time, Ancestor, you can give me some guidance!"

Li Yunjing quickly responded.

"Hehe! You're not bad, kid! You have a spirit of inquiry! I also have the Five Elements spiritual root, so I can teach you some knowledge about the Five Elements. I'd like to see if you can surpass me!"

The Nascent Soul Realm elder said with a smile.

Instead of being disgusted by Li Yunjing's little scheme, they were very happy and admired Li Yunjing's enthusiasm!

Others were so frightened by the sight of a Nascent Soul Realm elder that they didn't dare to utter a word, but Li Yunjing took the initiative to strike up a conversation, wanting to learn from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. What was this all about?
That’s what real ability is!
