Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 539 A Sensation in the Cultivation World (Happy May Day! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
Of course, even if the grade is the same, the product category is different.

Apart from the book "The Great Dao of the Five Elements," the remaining treasures would be of great benefit to the Lü family.

The Lu family was far more shocked than the Yu family!

After all, in terms of strength, the Lü family is far inferior.

Just a few years ago, a Golden Core Realm Ancestor was born.

Otherwise, the Lü family would be a third-rate family in the "Great Ming Cultivation World," not worth mentioning.

As the laughter subsided, Li Yunjing solemnly took out the marriage certificate: "I have come here for two reasons: first, to marry Ruoxi, and second, to pay my respects to the elders of the Lü family."

He glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "From now on, we're all family. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!"

Lu Tianfeng and his wife exchanged a glance, then stood up simultaneously and said with a smile, "Alright! We're family, no need for formalities!"

After saying that, he took out a scroll that glowed with blue light. "This is the Jade Void Sword Manual, a treasure of the Lü family. I wish to share it with Yun Jing."

Clearly, Lü Tianfeng is a strong-willed person.

Knowing he couldn't afford that many spirit stones as a return gift, he shared his family's most important sword technique with Li Yunjing to express his gratitude.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Since the Lü family has done this, Li Yunjing has no need to be polite.

Moreover, judging from the Lü family's style, they have a certain air of arrogance, unlike the Yu family, which is large, powerful, and has many rules.

In terms of how comfortable it feels to be around people, this place is much more pleasant.

As night deepened, the lights of Yuping Mountain gradually came on.

Holding Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi's hands, Li Yunjing gazed at the starry sky, a new plan forming in his mind.

That night, Li Yunjing was invited to the Lü family's forbidden area, "Yuxu Pavilion".

Inside the pavilion are the sword tombs of ancestors from past generations, with thirty-six ancient swords floating in the air, the runes on the swords faintly visible in the candlelight.

Lu Tianfeng stroked one of the bronze swords, which was covered in cracks, and sighed, "This was the sword of the first patriarch. Since he perished in the Golden Core Tribulation, no one in the Lu family has been able to make it ring again."

Li Yunjing lightly touched the sword with his fingertips, and the power of the Four Symbols flowed in like a trickle.

In an instant, the bronze sword burst forth with a dazzling blue light, and its dragon-like sword cry shook the entire pavilion.

The Lü family members were dumbfounded. They saw Li Yunjing's spiritual power transform into a sword array, simultaneously awakening thirty-six ancient swords. The runes on the swords echoed each other, outlining a complete diagram of the "Jade Void Sword Manual" in the air.

"So this is the final level of the sword technique, 'Returning to Nothingness'."

Li Yunjing produced a jade slip from his sleeve, inscribing his insights on it. "Use this as a guide for your cultivation, and you should achieve a breakthrough within three months."

The old patriarch of the Lü family trembled as he accepted the jade slip, tears welling up in his cloudy old eyes.

The bottleneck of the sword technique that the family had been studying for thousands of years was actually revealed by the young man in front of them in a single sentence. Such talent is simply astonishing.

Such skill is unmatched in the entire Lü family!
Moreover, in the entire span of thousands of years, the Lü family has never had anyone of this caliber.

Now things are much better. His family gave the Jade Void Sword Manual to Li Yunjing as a return gift, and he actually obtained the complete cultivation method as a result, along with Li Yunjing's annotations. His future cultivation will be very simple!
The parts they couldn't understand were also helped by Li Yunjing's annotations, which gave them the possibility of cultivation.

The next morning, Li Yunjing stood atop Jade Screen Mountain and raised his hand to summon the Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal.

The seal's light enveloped the entire mountain peak, and the underground spiritual veins were instantly activated by the power of thunder, turning the originally thin spiritual energy into substantial white mist.

He flicked his finger at the mountain wall, and seventy-two golden runes disappeared into it, forming a giant "spirit gathering array" that attracted spiritual energy from within a radius of thirty miles like rivers flowing into the sea.

"This formation can accelerate cultivation and also regulate the earth veins of 'Jade Screen Mountain', allowing the spiritual veins of the Lü family to flow steadily without the risk of drying up."

Li Yunjing smiled at the dumbfounded Lü Ruoxi, and then took out the "Myriad Dao Glazed Furnace," saying, "I will refine pills here to enhance the foundation of your Lü family!"

Thank you so much!

Lu Ruoxi's eyes were filled with emotion.

She knew how busy Li Yunjing was, but he was still willing to stay here for three days to help improve the family's strength. All of this was for her!
Lu Ruoxi was deeply moved. If it weren't for the presence of Lu family executives around, she would have loved to reward Li Yunjing handsomely!
As for Yu Yunyi, she had no complaints whatsoever.

The Lü family's foundation is weak and cannot compare with the Yu family. It is only natural for Li Yunjing to strengthen the Lü family's power.

The Lü family was overjoyed, as their son-in-law's help was immense.

The entire Lü family praised Lü Tianfeng, saying, "What a wonderful daughter Lü Tianfeng has raised!"
If it weren't for Lü Ruoxi, how could the Lü family have obtained so many benefits?

Elixirs, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, formations... a comprehensive upgrade.

In the future, once the Lü family has digested these things, they will surely be able to stabilize the strength of the Golden Core family and truly rise in the cultivation world.

For the next three days, the air around Jade Screen Mountain was filled with the fragrance of pills. Li Yunjing's "Foundation Building Pills" and "True Essence Pills" were piled up like small mountains. He even specially made a "Breakthrough Pill" for Lü Tianfeng and his wife to help them break through to the Golden Core stage.

The patriarch of the Lü family, along with the family head Lü Tianfeng and other elders, bowed to Li Yunjing, saying, "The Lü family will never forget this kindness!"

"We are all one family, so we should keep our differences."

Li Yunjing chuckled, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly.

On the day of departure, the entire Lü family saw him off.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" slowly rose into the air, and Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi leaned against it, looking down at their relatives waving goodbye with tears in their eyes.

Li Yunjing looked at the two women in his arms, and already had a plan in mind.

After the wedding, we must ensure that the protection of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" truly extends to the Lü and Yu families, at least guaranteeing that both families will live in peace and that nothing bad will happen to them.

On Li Yunjing's way back, the envoy of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had already spread the news to all the sects and families in the "Great Ming Cultivation World".

Li Yunjing, the vice leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, is getting married!
The First Madam and the Second Madam are the daughters of the Yu and Lü families, respectively, prominent families in the cultivation world.

This is a major event that has shaken the entire "Great Ming Cultivation World" through a powerful alliance.

Through this news, almost every family and sect knew about "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and Li Yunjing.

His information appeared on the desks of these forces, becoming crucial information that all high-ranking officials needed to know.

Inside the main hall of Louguan Temple, Abbot Xuanji Zhenren frowned as he stared intently at the information on Li Yunjing in front of him.

It records that when Li Yunjing first entered the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", he only had a mid-grade five-element spiritual root. However, he broke through all the way in a very short time, not only improving the quality of his five-element spiritual root, but also showing an amazing speed in cultivation.

"This child's spiritual root was only of the middle grade when he first entered the Dao Sect?"

"That's pure nonsense!"

"This must be false information deliberately released by the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' to protect their geniuses!"

"Li Yunjing is now showing signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Such talent in cultivation is probably one in ten thousand years!"

Master Xuanji couldn't help but mutter to himself, his heart filled with apprehension.

In the world of cultivation, spiritual root talent almost determines a cultivator's upper limit, but Li Yunjing was able to break through this constraint, which is truly unbelievable.

"Abbot, who should we send to observe the ceremony?"

In the hall, several important elders were also shocked by the news. After a long while, one of the elders asked a question.

"Hehe! I'll go myself! Let's see what this youngster is all about!"

Master Xuanji chuckled and said, "In addition, I need to discuss some important matters on the border with Ming Lingchuan! In recent years, the pressure from the demonic path has been increasing. We can't just leave it to our sects to bear, while the experts of the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' remain inactive, can we?"

“What the Abbot says is absolutely right. The demonic path has been making frequent unusual movements in the ‘Crossing the Mountains’, and recently there have been rumors that the ‘Blood Fiend Hall’ is going to form a new demonic cultivator legion.”

The First Elder nodded slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "If we can persuade the Divine Firmament Dao Sect to send their top Nascent Soul Realm experts this time, it might alleviate the pressure on the border. However..."

He paused, his gaze falling on the words "Seven Star Palace Controller" on Li Yunjing's file. "I've heard that Li Yunjing has close ties with the higher-ups of the Dao Sect. We need to be cautious and probe him carefully on this trip."

"Hmph, no matter how cautious you are, it's all just going through the motions!"

The Second Elder suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his beard trembling with the movement. "Even if a mere brat is exceptionally talented, how can he compare to the hundreds of thousands of years of heritage of my 'Louguan Dao'?" "In my opinion, the fact that the Abbot went in person has already given 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' enough face. If they still make excuses, we will join forces with 'Yuanyang Dao Sect' and let them know the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'!"

"Second Senior Brother is mistaken."

The Third Elder stroked his long beard and shook his head in rebuttal: "The current situation in the cultivation world is delicate. The Shenxiao Dao Sect possesses three fifth-order formations and has a profound foundation."

"Moreover, Li Yunjing's ability to take control of the 'Seven Star Palace' in such a short time must be due to his extraordinary abilities."

"If we apply pressure rashly, it will only provoke their dissatisfaction."

"Why not use the pretext of attending the wedding ceremony to first probe the truth of the matter?"

Then everyone discussed it. Some were concerned about the strength of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and wanted to negotiate in a friendly manner, while others wanted to exert pressure forcefully, and still others wanted to smooth things over.

Faced with the behemoth that is the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", even the higher-ups of the "Louguan Dao" found it difficult to reach a consensus.

"The Third Elder is right."

Master Xuanji raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, a calculating glint in his eyes: "On the surface, this trip is to offer congratulations, but in reality, we need to find out the attitude of the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' towards the demonic path."

"Pass on my order: have the Weapon Forging Hall forge three low-grade magical artifacts overnight as a congratulatory gift. Also, select twenty elite disciples from the inner sect to accompany me. Furthermore..."

He lowered his voice and glanced at everyone, "Secretly contact old acquaintances in the 'Northern Emperor Faction' to find out their opinions on Li Yunjing's wedding."

Master, this is the latest defense deployment map of the 'Across the Mountains' border.

The Grand Elder accepted the order and left, returning a moment later with a scroll in his hands: "Our defenses at Qingming Gorge still have a gap. If we can persuade the Shenxiao Dao Sect to station troops at Luoxing Valley, the two factions can form a pincer movement. However..."

He pointed to a misty area on the map, saying, "This place is rumored to be the entrance to an ancient secret realm. The Shenxiao Dao Sect probably won't easily relinquish control of it."

"Secret realm?"

Master Xuanji stared at the scroll, pondering for a long time, then suddenly chuckled: "Isn't Li Yunjing's wedding a perfect opportunity to negotiate? If we can use the pretext of attending the ceremony to get him to open up a portion of 'Falling Star Valley' for cultivators from both sects to train in, we can not only resolve the border crisis but also take the opportunity to explore the true nature of the secret realm..."

"Go and prepare! We will depart in three days."

His eyes gleamed. "Remember, this trip must be kept low-key. Do not alert the demonic path."

Outside the council hall, dusk was falling.

A young Taoist acolyte hurried past, carrying a freshly copied document on Li Yunjing. Between the pages, phrases like "Thunder magic triggers extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth" and "Proficient in the Five Elements Thunder Magic" were faintly visible in the twilight…

The clanging sounds of the "Weapon Refining Hall" could be heard from afar, mixed with the hushed discussions of the cultivators.

Everyone knows that a game concerning the future of Louguandao is about to begin with Li Yunjing's wedding.

The people of Louguandao were plotting their own scheme, preparing to use the opportunity to provoke Shenxiaodaozong into going all out.

One of their Golden Core Realm envoys has already gone to the "Northern Emperor Sect".

In the "Great Ming Cultivation World", besides the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" which stands out, there are two other powerful sects of the Xuanmen.

This is the "Louguan Dao" and the "Northern Emperor School".

Li Yunjing knew the people of the "Northern Emperor Sect" and had even been rescued by a senior master of the "Northern Emperor Sect" once.

At this moment, in the main hall of the "Northern Emperor Sect", Sect Leader Ye Qingyao held the intelligence report, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with shock.

"Li Yunjing has already reached the Core Formation stage after thirty-five years of cultivation?"

Ye Qingyao simply couldn't believe the information she had seen!

"That's exactly what happened! Sect Master, when I saw it, I couldn't believe it either. I simply couldn't believe that a Foundation Establishment cultivator I had casually rescued could have reached this level!"

The Taoist nun who rescued Li Yunjing back then said with a wry smile.

Looking back, she still finds it hard to believe.

"They're complete freaks!"

Even a prominent figure in the Xuanmen sect like Ye Qingyao was muttering to herself!

"Thirty-five years to form the Core Formation? That's a full ten years faster than the 'Purple Cloud Sword Immortal's' advancement speed 150,000 years ago!"

The white-haired elder in the hall suddenly stood up, his bronze cane slamming heavily on the ground, causing the floor tiles to tremble slightly. "If this child is allowed to grow, he will surely become the number one expert in our Xuanmen Sect one day!"

His cloudy old eyes were bloodshot, clearly shocked by the astonishing news.

"But back then, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator being chased and utterly defeated by demonic cultivators..."

The Second Elder stroked his goatee, his voice full of confusion, "What extraordinary encounter did this person have?"

He flipped through the thick files on the table, his gaze suddenly fixing on a certain spot. "Sect Master, look! He actually managed to control the Seven Star Palace during the internal strife of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' and in just a few years, he infiltrated more than half of the sect's businesses. Such skill is even more astonishing than his talent in cultivation!"

Ye Qingyao remained silent, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the three characters "Li Yunjing" on the intelligence report.

Who could have imagined that the humble cultivator from back then would become a figure of great interest to the entire cultivation world?
"Sect Master, how should we respond?"

The Third Elder asked with deep concern, "He has formed marriage alliances with the Yu and Lü families, and he also has the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' backing him. If..."

"Why panic!"

Ye Qingyao suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her spiritual energy surging around her, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker. "The 'Northern Emperor Sect' has stood in the Northern Territory for hundreds of thousands of years. How could we be afraid of a mere junior?"

"Pass down the order: this time, I will personally go to the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' to see this young man's character up close!"

"But Sect Master, his wedding..."

The elder hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"When presenting a generous gift, one must not be careless about the proper etiquette."

Ye Qingyao sneered, "But remember, this is just a show. Our small sect doesn't have that many good things to offer as tribute to the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind arose outside the hall, and dark clouds gathered, as if sensing the killing intent in the female sect leader's heart.

The Louguan Dao, the Beidi School, and the Shenxiao Dao Sect are all located in the "Great Ming Cultivation World" and are the three major representatives of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect!

Normally, the Xuanmen (mystical sects) unite against external forces, and the three major sects are naturally allies.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect is the strongest, and its leader is the alliance leader!
However, this does not mean that the Louguan Dao and the Beidi faction have no ambitions!
It should be noted that in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the "Great Ming Cultivation World", the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was not always the hegemon. When they were in decline, the "Louguan Dao" and the "Northern Emperor Sect" took turns ruling this region.

Now that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has produced such a freak as Li Yunjing, wouldn't that shatter their hopes for the future?

That's why Ye Qingyao felt a hint of killing intent!
Of course, this is only when they are on their own turf that they dare to express their true thoughts.

If she were to leave through that door, Ye Qingyao would absolutely not dare to show any malice towards Li Yunjing!
The friendly atmosphere of unity and close ties among the three major sects of Xuanmen must continue!
On the Southern Continent, there are countless sects and powerful forces. Without the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the "Louguan Dao" and the "Beidi Sect" would be unable to support the current situation of the "Great Ming Cultivation World."

Therefore, the benefits of cooperation outweigh anything else.

This situation will absolutely not change until the "Louguan Dao" and "Beidi School" rise to prominence!

As for whether the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was aware of this situation?
That's absolutely perfect!

However, the Shenxiao Dao Sect also needs capable helpers!

Within the "Crossing Mountains", the "Louguan Dao" and "Beidi Sect" were also allocated two precious lands by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The benefits there are enough to equal one-third of the benefits of two separate territories.

It was precisely because of the territory that the people of the "Louguan Dao" and "Beidi Sect" were able to exert themselves so bravely. Not only did they station a large number of cultivators in the "Hengyue Mountain Range", but they also had the two sects' guards at "Shenxiao Pass".

There are minor conflicts among the three major factions, but in general, their interests align.

Those filthy acts were all within tolerable limits.

At this moment, the two major sects, along with the various first-class sects and families below them, are also holding high-level meetings to discuss Li Yunjing's wedding.

As for other second- or third-rate sects and families, there's nothing to discuss. They just need to prepare gifts and a list of those going to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Weak in strength, they don't even dare to harbor ambitions!
