Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 699 Passing on the Dao to Fellow Disciples, Thunder Controls All Laws (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
He spoke lightly, but everyone knew how perilous things were at the time.

One wrong move and the golden core is shattered, all cultivation is ruined, and life is over.

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing sighed, and a pill appeared in his storage ring.

The pill kept changing in his palm, sometimes turning into a flying bird, sometimes into a swimming fish, and finally condensing into a crystal clear pill.

"This is."

The alchemy master Yang Wenyue's beautiful eyes widened, and she unconsciously leaned forward.

"A top-grade, third-tier, fourth-rank healing pill."

Li Yunjing said softly, "Old Fu, take this to treat your injuries!"

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Fu Chao reached out and grabbed it, placing it directly into his "storage ring".

There was no politeness between him and Li Yunjing.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their drinks, Li Yunjing suddenly stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, ninety-nine glass star lamps lit up simultaneously, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

"Everyone."

His voice was clear and resonant, yet carried an undeniable authority. “It is a rare occasion for us to gather here today, so I will explain the true meaning of the Shenxiao Dao to everyone.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The Divine Firmament Path is the supreme scripture of the sect, and almost everyone has cultivated a portion of it.

Many people present had already learned some of the content, but the explanation by someone of Li Yunjing's level of expertise made it all the more meaningful.

This is an incredible stroke of luck!

It's equivalent to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator giving a sermon!
Everyone used their magic to dispel the effects of the alcohol, their eyes shining brightly as they looked at Li Yunjing, waiting for their leader to preach.

The opening lines of the *Shenxiao Dao* state: "Heaven attains oneness and becomes clear; Earth attains oneness and becomes tranquil."

His voice suddenly became ethereal, as if it came from the heavens, "Do you all know the meaning of this word 'one'?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Even a three-year-old child can recite these most basic scriptures, but when Li Yunjing asked them this question, no one dared to answer it easily.

"Please enlighten me, senior brother."

Wang Yun below bowed respectfully.

"Okay."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, then suddenly formed a sword shape with his fingers and drew the simplest "one" in the air.

The character "一" suddenly split into countless tiny golden runes.

Each rune embodies a different Taoist principle.

Some are as sharp as a sword's gleam, some as flowing as a gentle stream, and others as powerful as thunder and lightning or as gentle as a spring breeze and rain.
"This"

Xu Xun suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "One word encompasses everything? Not just limited to thunder magic?"

"good."

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back. “The essence of Shenxiao Dao is thunder magic, but it is not thunder magic. It lies in ‘understanding one law, and all laws become clear’.”

"I know many fellow disciples who, after obtaining the Divine Firmament Path, never seriously cultivated it because they felt the attributes were unsuitable!"

"Actually, I've also made this mistake!"

"Back then, I started out with the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and later I practiced techniques related to the Five Elements Law, but I never took the Divine Firmament Path seriously!"

"However, as his cultivation level improved, he gradually stopped using the Five Thunder Orthodox Method and the Five Elements Technique, and instead picked up the Divine Firmament Path again!"

"Today, I will use myself to demonstrate the 'Divine Firmament Path,' hoping that everyone can gain some understanding through my explanation!"

With a wave of his sleeve, all the runes suddenly reassembled, transforming into a golden avenue that cascaded down from the palace ceiling.
What's amazing is that the Dao patterns seen by each person are not exactly the same.

The alchemist saw it as flowing like medicinal properties, the sword cultivator saw it as unrestrained sword intent, and the talisman cultivator felt it as a transformation of talismans.
All the Dao patterns evolved from thunder magic!

In essence, Li Yunjing was still using the "Shenxiao Dao"!
Li Yunjing pressed his hands down, and the hall was immediately filled with the sounds of wind and thunder.

Nine lightning patterns appeared around his body, each displaying a different color.

"Everyone, just look!"

The first purple lightning pattern suddenly exploded, transforming into a rain of swords filling the sky.

The sharp sword energy even carried a faint rumble of thunder.

"This is the 'Purple Heaven Thunder Sword Technique' from the 'Divine Heaven Path,' which I have integrated with the way of the sword."

Upon seeing Li Yunjing's understanding of swordsmanship, Xu Xun was terrified. His sword, which was hanging at his waist, was drawn three inches from its sheath with a "clang" and resonated with the thunder sword in the air!
The second blue lightning pattern transformed into a light drizzle, with tiny sparks of electricity dancing in each drop.

"The Green Wood Thunder and Rain Technique can nourish all things, or it can destroy the heavens and the earth."

Li Yunjing continued his demonstration, the golden lightning patterns transforming into talismans, and the white lightning patterns condensing into an array plate. The nine lightning patterns evolved into countless wondrous techniques.

"Now, do you all still think that the Divine Firmament Path is merely a thunder technique?"

He asked with a smile.

"Young Master Li!"

Ma Xingyuan suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his large body trembling with excitement: "This...this doesn't mean..."

"good."

Li Yunjing nodded, “The Divine Firmament Path is actually a general outline of ‘using thunder to control all laws.’ Thunder is merely the appearance; its essence is the most fundamental power in the universe!”

He formed a hand seal, and all the lightning patterns suddenly gathered above his head, condensing into an ancient lightning talisman.

The talisman looked simple, but it shook everyone present to their core, as if they were facing the might of heaven!
"This is the real 'Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman'."

Li Yunjing's voice was solemn: "With a single talisman, one can create swords, pills, and arrays—all techniques arise from it!"

The crowd was completely captivated, and some cultivators who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for many years were even moved to tears.

They finally understood why their cultivation of the "Divine Firmament Path" was always unsatisfactory.

It turns out we were on the wrong path from the very beginning!

"Next, I will demonstrate the key techniques of the 'Nine Revolutions of the Divine Firmament'."

Li Yunjing suddenly changed his hand seals, "Everyone, pay attention to the circulation of spiritual energy within your bodies."

With each hand seal he formed, a bolt of lightning struck the bodies of the cultivators present.

Strangely, the lightning did not harm people after entering their bodies; instead, it guided their spiritual energy to flow along specific meridians.

"First Turn, Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!"

"Second Transformation, Lightning Illuminates Heaven and Earth!"

As the incantation progressed, strange phenomena appeared within the hall.

Some people were surrounded by lightning, some had electric sparks gathered above their heads, and some even had faint thunder rumbling from within their bodies.

When Li Yunjing shouted "Ninth Turn, All Things Return to Thunder", the entire "Donghua Tower" suddenly shook violently!
The spiritual energy within everyone's body involuntarily formed a grand cycle, which actually condensed into a thundercloud on the roof of the palace!
"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, but before it touched everyone, it transformed into a gentle rain of spiritual energy.

Bathed in the thunderstorm, everyone felt their cultivation had improved and their foundation had become much more solid.

"Today's Dharma teaching ends here."

Li Yunjing stood up, his face slightly pale. "Everyone, you must practice diligently after you return, but remember to proceed step by step."

"The Divine Firmament Path requires one to act according to one's ability; forcing oneself to cultivate it will inevitably lead to backlash!"

He looked especially at a few eager disciples: "You need to know what's going on!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Li!"

Everyone respectfully agreed, their eyes filled with gratitude.

This sermon was like pointing out a great path to heaven for everyone!

This gathering lasted for three whole days before everyone finally dispersed, completely satisfied.

Li Yunjing returned to his "Qiwu Manor" and naturally introduced Zhao Qi to Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi.

Within the "Qiwu Manor," Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi are the first and second wives, respectively. When Zhao Qi arrives, she naturally ranks behind them.

In the back garden of Qiwu Mountain Villa, three jade teacups on a stone table were steaming.

"Sister, try this 'Nine Heavens Dew'."

Yu Yunyi gently pushed the teacup with her delicate hand, a dignified smile on her face. "This is the top-grade spiritual tea from my Shenxiao Dao Sect."

"What a troublesome thing!"

The meaning behind those words made Li Yunjing secretly groan.

This clearly indicates that they are the true owners of this place!
"Thank you sister."

Zhao Qi took the teacup and gently twirled it along the rim with her fingertips: "However, this tea... seems to be a little overcooked."

"Sister Zhao has such a clever tongue."

Lü Ruoxi covered her mouth and chuckled: "However, this tea needs to be brewed with boiling water to bring out its full flavor..."

"That's what my sister said."

Zhao Qi suddenly smiled and tapped her fingertips lightly on the teacup. "However, when I was on the 'Luofu Continent,' I did learn a new way of brewing tea..."

With a simple hand gesture, a wisp of pale blue flame rose from her palm, bringing the already slightly cooled tea to a boil again.

The aroma of the tea suddenly became more than three times stronger, attracting even the butterflies in the garden.

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi felt a tightness in their hearts.

The level of control over this "Azure Cold Flame" is extremely high, clearly surpassing theirs!
Zhao Qi's cultivation level is higher than theirs!
"Your sister has great cooking skills."

Yu Yunyi calmly touched her temple, and the jade hairpin in her hair suddenly emitted a soft light, trapping all the fluttering butterflies. "However, the essence of spirit tea lies in gentle nurturing, not in such cold heat..."

"My sister is right."

Zhao Qi suddenly turned off the heat, and the tea instantly returned to calm. "Then how about..."

With a flick of her finger, three vibrant green tea leaves flew out from her sleeve. "Try the spiritual tea that Yun Jing and I found on the 'Royal Continent'!"

Lu Ruoxi suddenly pressed down on the teapot: "Wait a minute."

She smiled and took out a set of purple clay teaware from her storage bag. "Since we're here to enjoy tea, we should use the teaware that the Supreme Elder of the sect gifted us when Yun Jing and I got married!"

"Hahaha! It's all the same, it's all the same, let's all have some tea!"

Li Yunjing chuckled dryly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

The two sides were engaged in a fierce power struggle. One side claimed to be a member of a sect, one of Li Yunjing's own, and to have a powerful family background. The other side repeatedly mentioned the names of two continents, implying that she and Li Yunjing had traveled the world together and shared hardships.

In short, huge trouble has begun.

Yu Yunyi was the first to stand up, carrying a cup of tea, and came to Li Yunjing's side: "Then I will listen to my husband!"

She spoke gently, but secretly pinched his arm hard.

"Husband, is it hot?" Lu Ruoxi, not to be outdone, immediately handed over a silk handkerchief: "Husband, wipe your sweat."

He then stepped between Zhao Qi and Li Yunjing.

Zhao Qi sneered and suddenly threw the teacup in her hand into the air.

The teacup transformed into three streams of water in mid-air, landing precisely in the cups in front of the three people.

"It's a pity to let the tea get cold."

She gave Li Yunjing a meaningful look, "Husband, would you like to try some too?"

The sweat on Li Yunjing's forehead rolled down even faster.

"The luckiest thing in my life is meeting the three of you."

Li Yunjing's voice was sincere, and his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, "Each of you is an indispensable part of my life."

At this point, he had to resolve the conflict.

Family and everything will be prosperous!
With internal strife at home, how could he possibly have the mind to deal with external matters?

The three goddesses' expressions gradually softened.

Yu Yunyi sighed softly and put down her teacup first: "My husband is right, I was narrow-minded."

"Sister, you flatter me."

Zhao Qi suddenly stood up and bowed, "It's my fault for not knowing the proper etiquette."

Lu Ruoxi quickly helped the two of them up: "We're all family, why bother..."

Seeing that the three women's attitude had softened, Li Yunjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out three jade bracelets with flowing spiritual light from his sleeve.

"This is the bracelet I received."

He explained gently, "It was originally carved from a piece of spiritual jade. When separated, each becomes its own object; when combined, their spiritual power is interconnected."

He then placed the jade bracelets on the wrists of the three women.

The bracelet's surface shimmered with spiritual patterns, weaving together auspicious "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" design on each wrist.

"Brilliant!"

Yunyi was the first to understand and took Zhao Qi's hand, saying, "Look, sister, this bracelet suits your temperament perfectly."

Zhao Qi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Sister has excellent taste."

As she spoke, she took Lü Ruoxi's hand again, "Second Sister, this color makes your skin look even fairer."

"We sisters are of one mind, and we will definitely take care of each other from now on."

A flicker of emotion crossed Lü Ruoxi's eyes as she spoke softly.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing took the opportunity to take out a tea set: "Come, come, let me personally brew tea for you today."

Lightning crackled at his fingertips as he used lightning magic to brew tea.

The purple lightning swirled within the teapot, yet it did not harm the spirit of the tea leaves in the slightest; instead, it brought out a unique fragrance.

"This is."

The three women simultaneously showed surprise.

“The ‘Thunder-Boiled Heart-Cleansing Method’ in the Shenxiao Dao”.

Li Yunjing poured tea with a smile, saying, "It's a cure for restlessness and irritability."

"My husband has excellent skills."

Yu Yunyi was the first to take it, took a small sip, and immediately felt her mind clear.

"Really extraordinary."

Zhao Qi tasted it and suddenly laughed, "However, if you add a 'Ice Heart Grass', the effect will be even better."

"My sister is right."

Lü Ruoxi nodded in agreement, "We happened to have some planted in the yard."

The three women started discussing their insights on the art of tea.

Li Yunjing watched in stunned silence.

This change happened so fast!
"What are you standing there for, husband?"

Yu Yunyi suddenly turned her head, "Aren't you going to go and get some snacks?"

"Yes, yes, I want osmanthus cake."

Zhao Qi added.

"Bring some more spirit fruits."

Lü Ruoxi gave instructions.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Yunjing hurriedly responded, and almost tripped on the stone steps when he turned around.

The sound of three girls' silvery laughter came from behind him, making him feel both helpless and gratified.

As I walked out of the garden, I happened to meet a disciple who had come to report.

Seeing Li Yunjing covered in sweat, the other party asked in surprise, "Vice Sect Leader, what's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing wiped his forehead. "Go prepare some tea and snacks, the best of everything."

"That sect's affairs"

This person came with something to report, but Li Yunjing's biggest concern right now is to appease the three women, so he has no time to deal with anything else.

"We'll talk about it later."

Li Yunjing glanced back at the three women enjoying themselves, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. "Right now... even the most important things have to wait."

Just as the disciple was about to leave, Li Yunjing suddenly felt a communication talisman on his waist vibrate.

"Huh? Something really big has happened?"

After reading it, Li Yunjing frowned.

"Commander Ying, is there anything I can do for you? Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Seeing Ying Qianqian's message, Li Yunjing had no choice but to reply.

This woman is very mysterious. She is a descendant of a supreme elder in the sect, holds a high position and great power, has amazing talent, and is also the commander of the "Xuanwu Army"!

He is Li Yunjing's subordinate!
When subordinates report military affairs to him, the head of the "Xuanwu Hall," how could Li Yunjing ignore it?

"Deputy Sect Leader, Commander Ying said the situation is urgent and we must meet him immediately."

The disciple in charge lowered his voice.

Li Yunjing frowned.

Military intelligence matters are of utmost importance and cannot be delayed.

He glanced back at the three ladies chatting amiably in the garden, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lead the way."

He had only taken a few steps when Yu Yunyi's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Husband, wait a moment."

The three women were now standing under the eaves, their faces devoid of the tenderness and affection they had shown moments before.

"The military situation is urgent, so we sisters won't keep you any longer."

Yu Yunyi adjusted his outer robe, her movements gentle yet leaving no room for refusal.

"We live together harmoniously at home."

Zhao Qi also said, "Don't worry about things at home!"

"Ok!"

Lü Ruoxi also said with a smile, "Anyway, you should behave yourself and not mess around outside!"

Li Yunjing felt a warmth in his heart and was about to say something when he heard Yu Yunyi say again, "However..."

"If you dare bring other women home, you'll be punished according to family rules!"

Hearing the three of them say the same thing in unison, Li Yunjing swallowed hard and forced a dry laugh, "Definitely not!"

Inside the Seven Star Palace, the main hall is brightly lit.

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped into the palace, he saw Ying Qianqian standing with her back to him.

She was still wearing her black armor, and the "Black Tortoise Token" hanging at her waist gleamed with an eerie light.

"Commander, what is the matter that is so urgent?"

Li Yunjing composed himself and asked in a deep voice.

Ying Qianqian suddenly turned around, her once strikingly beautiful face now covered in frost.

Without saying a word, she slammed a blood-red jade slip onto the table: "Hall Master, take a look for yourself."

Li Yunjing scanned the area with his divine sense, and his expression changed drastically.

The jade slip contained images of a conspiracy between the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" and the "Mingxin Temple".

The two factions actually planned to form an allied force a month later to counterattack "Shenxiao Pass".

"Is the news reliable?"

Li Yunjing asked seriously.

Shenxiao Pass is home to the main forces of the four guardian armies, with the Xuanwu Army occupying the main position.

Some of the Supreme Elders also reside in the "Xuanwu Hall".

If a real problem were to arise, it would be an absolutely unacceptable situation for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Seven of my Xuanwu Guard brothers were lost in order to obtain this intelligence."

A flicker of pain flashed in Ying Qianqian's eyes. "This time, the counterattack from the two major sects is definitely real!"

Li Yunjing paced back and forth, his fingers unconsciously rubbing together inside his sleeves.

"Do the Supreme Elders within the Pass know about this matter?"

After a while, Li Yunjing stopped and asked.

"I have already reported the situation!"

Ying Qianqian nodded and said, "Now the idea of ​​the Supreme Elders is that they hope the sect will send reinforcements to provide support."

"Hmm! Did the Sect Leader give any instructions?"

Li Yunjing asked again.

"I have already reported the situation to the Sect Leader!"

Ying Qianqian looked at Li Yunjing with a complicated expression and said slowly, "The Sect Leader's intention is to entrust this matter to Hall Master Li with full responsibility."

"You're entrusting me with full responsibility?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, not expecting that the sect leader would entrust such a big matter to him.
