Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 713 Yin and Yang Merge, Cultivation Improves (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Fu Chao took out a pitch-black jade box from his pocket. The box was engraved with strange blood-red runes, and a faint demonic aura was seeping out.

"This box is under a spell; three of our men fainted as soon as they touched it."

Fu Chao lowered his voice, "What's even stranger is that the sound of a baby crying keeps coming from inside the box."

Li Yunjing was taken aback; he recognized the runes on the box.

That's the "Soul-Locking Curse" used by the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" in ancient times to seal the souls of living people!
"Everyone, get away!"

Li Yunjing made a hand seal and summoned nine thunder talismans that surrounded the jade box. Suddenly, his fingertips swept across the runes on the surface of the box.

The black jade box trembled violently, and a screeching sound of fingernails scratching came from inside.

With a "click," the box lid suddenly popped open.

Thick, inky black mist gushed forth, and within it emerged the illusory image of a curled-up baby.

The baby had a half-moon shaped jade pendant embedded between its eyebrows, which was exactly the same as Princess Yuehua's jade pendant!
"This is……"

Fu Chao took three steps back.

The baby suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils an eerie blood red.

It grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and let out a roar that sounded inhuman: "Li... Yun... Jing..."

"boom!"

Li Yunjing reached out and grabbed the baby, his "Samadhi True Fire" blazing fiercely. Before long, the baby turned to ashes.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing suddenly realized, "He Bao is not the main soul of the Demon God at all; he is merely the vessel that nurtured this remnant soul!"

"Damn it! This is fucking weird!"

Fu Chao was startled and couldn't help but curse.

"Yes! Don't be fooled by the fact that we've conquered the 'Youyue Kingdom,' it'll be many years before we can completely control it!"

Li Yunjing nodded and said quietly, "Old Fu, keep a low profile in 'Youyue Kingdom,' don't mistake this place for the 'Ming Dynasty.'"

"I understand! I'll be more careful from now on!"

If Li Yunjing had given He Bao advice before his death, Fu Chao would have scoffed at it. Now, however, he felt a chill run down his spine; he was genuinely afraid.

As a demonic kingdom, this place holds countless secrets of the demonic path.

For those in the Xuanmen sect, this is a deadly threat.

The demonic energy needs to be purified, the demonic sect's techniques need to be destroyed, and demonic artifacts, talismans, and formations also need to be destroyed one by one.

Even the people's cultural beliefs need to be reshaped.

"By the way, Lao Li, the emperor of 'Youyue Kingdom' has died. Who will be chosen next?"

Fu Chao suddenly remembered something and asked.

"how?"

Li Yunjing turned to look at Fu Chao and asked with interest, "You want to be the emperor?"

"Hehe! Want to have some fun?"

Fu Chao rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "I haven't even tried out the harem of three thousand beauties yet!"

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing shook his head helplessly and said seriously, "He Bao is dead, and the next emperor will still be from the He family, so don't count on it!"

"pity!"

Fu Chao sighed, seemingly regretting that he couldn't become emperor.

"Don't be so regretful! Have you forgotten how He Bao died?"

Li Yunjing couldn't help but roll her eyes at the other person.

"Too!"

Fu Chao thought of He Bao's miserable state and couldn't help but shudder.

Li Yunjing's words made Fu Chao completely give up his dream of becoming emperor!

"You focus on your cultivation, kid. Keep an eye on the business of the Star Moon Trading Company here in the Youyue Kingdom for me."

Li Yunjing gave the instructions.

"how?"

Fu Chao was taken aback and asked, "Are you going to open a branch in 'Youyue Kingdom'?"

"Yes, it's our own territory, with perfect timing, location, and people. I would feel like I'd be losing a fortune if I didn't do this business."

Li Yunjing nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "In addition, Xing'er and Yue'er are determined to do things and want to expand their business to 'Youyue Kingdom'."

"Are the two fairies, Xing'er and Yue'er, coming?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chao's eyes lit up immediately: "That's wonderful! With them here, your business is sure to boom!"

Li Yunjing glanced at him and warned, "Don't you dare get any funny ideas, they're my people."

"How can it be!"

Fu Chao quickly waved his hand and chuckled dryly, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Although we have taken over the 'Youyue Kingdom,' there are still many remnants of demonic cultivators in secret, especially the remnants of the 'Youming Ghost Sect,' who may not be willing to be wiped out."

Li Yunjing was too lazy to banter with him, and instead said, "Be careful when you're doing things here."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to keep a close eye on it."

Fu Chao nodded, unusually serious.

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.

Li Yunjing frowned and scanned the area with his divine sense, discovering that a group of cultivators were escorting several ragged prisoners towards the outskirts of the city.

"what happened?"

he asked.

Fu Chao followed his gaze and explained, "Oh, those are people from the 'Northern Emperor Sect.' They are cleaning up the remnants of demonic cultivators within the 'Youyue Kingdom.' These are all disciples of the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect' who have been captured. It is said that they will be taken to the 'Frosty Valley' for execution."

"It seems their sect leader is dead, and the entire sect has gone a bit crazy."

He suddenly spoke up, "Have the people of the 'Northern Emperor Faction' discussed the succession of the next sect leader?"

"No!"

Fu Chao was taken aback: "The 'Northern Emperor's Faction' hasn't made any other moves lately, except for killing people."

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing sneered and said, "Then let them kill, kill them all, kill them until the sky darkens! The entire 'Youyue Kingdom' is a den of iniquity, and it's not easy for our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' to take action. With the 'Northern Emperor Sect' doing the work for us, it's like killing two birds with one stone!"

"That's the truth!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Fu Chao's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Perhaps the relationship between the 'Northern Emperor Sect' and our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' will become even closer in the future."

Li Yunjing smiled meaningfully.

The image of Su Muqing appeared in his mind.

This elder of the "Northern Emperor Sect" had traveled with him on "Tianlan Star" for decades, and his cultivation, knowledge, resources, and wealth had all increased dozens of times!

This woman has almost no problem breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Such an outstanding disciple would not be overlooked by the "Northern Emperor School"!

Given the relationship between Su Muqing and herself, if she were to truly become the supreme leader of the "Northern Emperor Sect," she would definitely maintain a good relationship with the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

At that time, both public and private interests aligned.

This is of great benefit to the development of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing's smile deepened.

He turned to Fu Chao and said, "Let's go, let's go meet these people from the 'Northern Emperor Faction'."

The two transformed into streaks of light, emerged from the palace, and caught up with the escorting procession on the street.

The disciples of the "Northern Emperor Sect" immediately stopped in their tracks when they saw someone approaching.

The middle-aged cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core realm stepped forward, cupped his hands, and asked, "What brings you two fellow cultivators here?"

Li Yunjing's gaze swept over the prisoners, and he found that they all carried a strong demonic aura, which was undoubtedly the remnant of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect".

"I am Li Yunjing of the Shenxiao Dao Sect! This is Fu Chao!"

He smiled slightly, pointed to Fu Chao, and introduced, "May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"

"So it's Vice Sect Leader Li! Fellow Daoist Fu!"

The middle-aged cultivator was startled upon hearing this and quickly bowed respectfully: "I am Zhao Han, an elder of the Enforcement Hall of the 'Northern Emperor Sect,' and I am here on orders to escort these demonic cultivators to the Frost Valley."

"Elder Zhao, you've worked hard."

Li Yunjing nodded. "I wonder if your sect has a candidate for a new leader?"

"This... the senior elders of the sect are discussing it, and nothing has been decided yet."

Zhao Han looked troubled; naturally, he dared not speak carelessly about such an important matter.

Li Yunjing asked thoughtfully, "Has Elder Su Muqing returned to the mountain?"

"Senior Sister Su just returned a few days ago and is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhao Han replied, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes, "It is said that this seclusion was due to an extraordinary opportunity, with an extremely high chance of success."

Li Yunjing's heart stirred; it seemed that Su Muqing had indeed lived up to his expectations.

If she can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, with the achievements and connections she has accumulated during her training on "Tianlan Star," she will indeed have a great chance of winning the position of sect leader.

"Heh heh, you little brats from the 'Northern Emperor Sect,' you think you can rest easy just because you've captured us?" Just then, an old man with disheveled hair among the prisoners suddenly looked up and chuckled sinisterly, "Let me tell you, the lineage of the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect' will never be broken!"

This is not an exaggeration!

Rather, historically, several major sects of the demonic path have experienced destruction.

However, as time went by, someone unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of the demonic path. After cultivating it, they made great progress and restored the sect's heritage.

Such experiences are not uncommon.

Demonic arts are highly sought-after by many lower-level cultivators due to their rapid cultivation effects, low aptitude requirements, and minimal resource consumption.

As for the claim that he cultivates demonic arts and harms the common people?
Most cultivators are selfish and self-serving. Since they can kill others to improve their cultivation, many cultivators have lost their conscience and started killing indiscriminately, using the lives of all living beings to cultivate demonic arts and refine demonic weapons.

This is a situation that is almost impossible to change.

After all, whether they are disciples of the Xuanmen sect, disciples of the Buddhist sect, or cultivators of the demonic path, all systems yearn for immortality!

On the path to immortality, many people have lost far too much, not to mention those who are unrelated to them.

Even Li Yunjing, having gained too much, lost some things in the process.

In order to seize the supreme position of the sect, he also pragmatically developed the sect's power and, in foreign wars, he unleashed a bloodbath without mercy.

This is what happens when you're caught up in the world of martial arts and have no choice in what you do.

To gain something, you must lose something else.

No one is exempt.

However, Li Yunjing still couldn't stand the evil deeds of the demonic path that were harming the common people.

Although he has changed a lot, his bottom line has always remained the same.

Zhao Han's face darkened, and he was about to reprimand the old man when he saw blood suddenly flowing from his seven orifices, and his body shriveling up at a visible speed.

A strange black aura emerged from the top of his head, condensing in the air into a hideous ghost face.

"The Netherworld Possession Technique?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and smiled disdainfully.

The demonic face emitted a piercing shriek and lunged at the nearest "Northern Emperor Sect" disciple.

The young Foundation Establishment cultivator had no time to react and was about to be possessed...

"You dare to flaunt your mere ghostly and evil arts in front of me?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Yunjing vanished into thin air in a gust of wind.

"Thank you very much, Vice Sect Leader Li!"

Zhao Han and the others quickly bowed.

"You are Welcome!"

Li Yunjing reached out to help, and a gentle breeze lifted everyone's bent-over bodies.

"The supernatural powers of demonic cultivators are unpredictable; you must be very careful."

After giving his instructions, Li Yunjing let the people leave.

He talked with Fu Chao for a while longer, then left the issue of public security in the capital to Fu Chao.

These trivial matters no longer interest him.

Given Li Yunjing's status and position, it would be impossible for him to participate in specific matters.

After leaving, Li Yunjing returned to his residence and discussed the location of a branch of "Xingyue Trading Company" with Liu Ruyan, Xing'er, and Yue'er.

As the biggest winner of the "Youyue Kingdom", the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" naturally occupied the best market in the country and had 70% of the shop resources.

These shop resources were not allocated to other sects or families.

This is a golden hen that lays eggs!
Renting it out for a hundred-year term is much more cost-effective than a one-time transaction.

As the deputy head of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", Li Yunjing didn't need to say a word; his subordinates naturally knew how to take care of the "Xingyue Trading Company".

After all, this is the business owned by the deputy sect leader's wife!

Three months later, on Zhuque Street, the most bustling street in the capital, a branch of "Xingyue Trading Company" officially opened.

Li Yunjing personally attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attracting congratulations from various factions.

"Congratulations, Vice Sect Leader Li!"

"The quality of the pills from 'Star Moon Trading Company' has always been highly praised!"

"Yes! With the 'Star Moon Trading Company' officially entering the 'Youyue Kingdom,' it's bound to achieve great things!"

……

Guests came in an endless stream to offer their congratulations, and Li Yunjing greeted them all with a smile.

With Li Yunjing's name on the table, and the fact that "Star Moon Trading Company" had a good reputation, the guests who came bought some items, which was considered to be giving Li Yunjing a lot of face.

After the business opened, Li Yunjing chatted and laughed with the important figures from various factions and families, leaving almost all the business matters to Xing'er and Yue'er.

Li Yunjing's gaze occasionally swept over the two busy people, noticing that they were working with ease and without any sign of panic.

He felt a sense of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"The people around me have all grown up and can stand on their own now."

Lost in thought, Li Yunjing didn't delay Li Yunjing from exchanging views with Qingxu Zhenren on the "Youyue Kingdom".

In the past six months, cultivators from the "Great Ming Cultivation World" have been continuously entering this new territory.

All the top-tier sects and families, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate sects and families, as well as independent cultivators...

If you were to create a real-time dynamic graph, you would see that every moment, cultivators enter the "Crossing Mountains," resupply in the "Crossing Mountains," and then pass through the "Divine Firmament Pass" to enter the "Nether Moon Kingdom."

After these people left Shenxiao Pass, they dispersed in all directions from this point of origin, spreading throughout the nine provinces of Youyue Kingdom.

As for the fighting?

Is there ever a day when there aren't hundreds or thousands of battles across the country?
Like the Nangong family, which followed the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," the core members evacuated their homeland and entered the "Endless Mountains."

As for the area where the ancestral home is located, a group of people stayed behind, trying to settle down there.

How could local cultivators and foreign cultivators not fight for their own interests?
Everyone has gone through so much trouble to cross the mountains from the "Great Ming Immortal Cultivation World" just to plunder the wealth of the "Youyue Kingdom's" native cultivation world, right?

And so, amidst the chaos, the "Youyue Kingdom" was changing every moment.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing, who was stationed in the capital, lived a carefree and leisurely life.

With nothing to worry about, he devoted most of his energy to teaching Liu Ruyan, Xing'er, and Yue'er how to cultivate.

In my spare time, I get together with friends like Fu Chao, have a few drinks, and chat. Life is more relaxed than ever.

This day, after the pleasures of the boudoir.

"What's wrong? Do we have to do it again?"

Looking at the delicate and easily bullied appearance of Liu Ruyan and the other two women, Li Yunjing felt a surge of desire.

"Are you born in the year of the donkey?!"

"If we do it again, it'll drive us crazy!"

The three women were utterly terrified, too frightened to approach Li Yunjing.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly.

Having finally found some free time, he displayed his might, slaughtering the three women until they were utterly defeated and disarmed, which made him quite proud of himself.

"I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask my husband. Would you be so kind as to grant me permission?"

Liu Ruyan looked up at Li Yunjing, her eyes sparkling, and gently bit her sexy red lips.

"Hehe! Of course, no problem!"

Li Yunjing chuckled softly and grabbed Liu Ruyan again.

A moment later, some loud noises came from inside the room. Liu Ruyan gasped in surprise, as if she was enduring something...

"Ugh……"

Xing'er blushed slightly upon seeing this scene; perhaps she wanted to help Liu Ruyan?

But thinking of her husband's formidable nature, she dared not step forward.

As for Yue'er, the same was true. In the beginning, they were able to fight Li Yunjing a few times, but after a while, they were no match for him.

"You are bad……"

A day later, after resting for a while, Liu Ruyan opened her eyes slightly and looked at Li Yunjing, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

I can't accept it!

Even if she used all the supernatural powers of the "Hehuan Sect", she would still be no match for Li Yunjing!
They had almost no chance to fight back!
The power of the Yin-Yang Harmony Classic is simply unimaginable.

Wow, that was fast!
"I have recently made some progress in my cultivation."

Li Yunjing stretched and chuckled lazily, "Perhaps if we continue cultivating like this, my Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture will advance even further."

Although things seem a bit absurd lately, Li Yunjing's cultivation has not only not fallen behind, but has actually progressed faster than usual due to dual cultivation.

After all, this technique is considered authoritative in its research on the Yin-Yang Dao.

Li Yunjing and Liu Ruyan practiced dual cultivation, which is to comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang.

Occasionally, the voices of Liu Ruyan, Xing'er, and Yue'er could be heard, but the meaning of their shouts was unclear.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Classic is difficult to describe; it is estimated that only those who are immersed in it can understand its profound mysteries.

Inside the boudoir, the turbulent waves subsided, and the four people returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
