Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 150 - 141: Conjecture [Vote for Monthly Pass!]

Among the seven nations, counting General Ridge, the Central Plains currently boast twenty-four Spiritual Mountains and lands.

In these places where Spiritual Mountains and lands are found, there are always Immortal Sects and powerful beings occupying them, many of which possess True Skills.

Lu Qingfeng visited each one, sometimes obtaining them through clever means, other times through forceful plundering, ultimately acquiring a substantial number of True Skills.

"In this world, Thunder Techniques predominate. Be it Cultivation Techniques or other high-level techniques, most are Thunder Attribute."

Treading upon Spiritual Mountains, he amasses True Skills.

Lu Qingfeng obtained numerous Refined Level and even Side Door Level Skills, as well as plenty Middle-level and High-level Techniques. However, most were Cultivation Techniques and Techniques of the Thunder attribute.

"The Red Smoke Realm suffered the calamity of the Red Smoke Colt, and the Fire Department True God descended upon the Lower Realm to quell the chaos. Within this Realm, Fire Techniques broadly prevail. It wasn't until Lv Zu traveled here that the Quanzhen and Pure Yang Sects began to flourish. The former became the pinnacle of Techniques, while the latter became the progenitor of the Sword Dao."

"After a million years of evolution, the Red Smoke Realm finally formed a trifecta with Fire Techniques, other Techniques, and the Sword Dao as its pillars."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Previously in the Red Smoke Realm, he hadn't noticed, but upon arriving in the Changqing Realm and with a little contemplation, he discovered—

The Red Smoke Realm distinctly falls under the domain of the Heavenly Court's Fire Department, the Jie Sect, and the legacy of the Upper Cave Eight Immortals of the Eight Sceneries Palace descended to the Lower Realm.

As for the Changqing Realm.

The calamity caused by the Evil Dragon was quelled by the Thunder Department Heavenly Monarch leading Gods, Generals, and Heavenly Soldiers to the Lower Realm.

"From this, it seems that the Changqing Realm is one of the bases of the Heavenly Court Thunder Department in the Lower Realm. The legacies of the Immortal Sects within this Realm mostly revolve around Gods of the Thunder Department. For instance, the Soul Searching Temple was established by the Soul Searching General from the Thunder Department in the Yang Realm. And the Judge Star Sect originated from the Judge Star General belonging to the Five Thunders of the Upper Pure Flying Thunder from the Thunder Department."

"There's also the Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate in the mountains of Zheng Country, a legacy from the Six-Eyed Lightning God of the Thunder Department. This Thunder Department God was even one of the deities who descended to pacify the Chaos of the Evil Dragon in Changqing Realm."

With such thoughts, Lu Qingfeng gained clarity.

The Changqing Realm is one of the foundations of the Thunder Department in the Lower Realm; naturally, it is the Thunder Department Gods who come to suppress disasters.

"So then—"

"The Cultivation Techniques and other types of inheritances that I've gained over the years in these seven nations, aren't most of them derived from the colleagues of the Founding Master of my Soul Searching Temple?"

Lu Qingfeng's eyebrows twitched.

If that were the case, he had managed to offend quite a few.

"Fortunately, I only collected the secret inheritances without disseminating them, nor have I caused any loss of life."

"To be ignorant is not a crime."

"There should be no trouble."

Lu Qingfeng smoothed out the situation, unflustered.

It seemed unlikely that those exalted Gods from the Thunder Department would hold a grudge over such trivial matters against him, a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Lower Realm.

"My Ascension to the Upper Realm is uncertain in timing, let alone in which life it will occur."

"There is no need for worry."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes twinkled, "Over the years, Spiritual Mountains have been emerging continuously. With each emergence, there is a great possibility of the existence of True Skills. Instead of scouring the vast seas for True Skills, it's better to wait a bit longer."

"As long as the cultivators in Changqing Realm have not massively ascended to Foundation Establishment before the so-called Heavenly Disaster Realm, with my strength, I can remain unmatched. Waiting for more Spiritual Mountains to emerge and major sects to establish a foothold, I can then venture out again. Focusing on the Spiritual Mountains is the quickest route to acquiring True Skills."

"Regrettably, the revival of Spiritual Energy has only just begun, with Spiritual Mountains and lands being scarce. During the second expansion of heaven and earth, when Spiritual Energy bursts forth, the cultivators and Immortal Sects of the Changqing Realm will surely be strong, and then it will no longer be a time when I can dominate them as I please."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

True Skills remain concealed.

Take the "Prison Control Heart Sutra," which is a legacy from the Prison-controlling Five Thunder Great God.

The True God of the Thunder Department's legacy has unexpectedly fallen into the hands of an old daoist of the Heavenly Realm.

By a fortunate coincidence, it came into the possession of Lu Qingfeng.

Countless secret lineages of True Skills, like that of the less-renowned "Prison Control Heart Sutra," exist around the world. Rather than seeking each one out, it is better for Lu Qingfeng to wait for more Spiritual Mountains to emerge. Once these cultivators who possess True Skills occupy the Spiritual Mountains and establish sects, Lu Qingfeng will visit them then.

No escape empty-handed!

That's the real ease of mind and effort saving.

"Right now, the focus should remain on dedicated cultivation at General Ridge and delving into the Array Dao."

Lu Qingfeng recorded the "Prison Control Heart Sutra" onto the attribute panel, immediately formed a Seal Technique with his hands, weaving it into the shape of a crane, and declared aloud—

"By my command, allow Changfeng Daoist and Wang Xuan to enter. Grant them one Heavenly Human Pill and three Seven Glories Pills each."

The immortal crane flapped its wings and flew out of the cave dwelling, disappearing in an instant.

...

Hundred Herbs Garden.

Blood Spirit Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng rose to his feet, waved his hand, and dispelled the surrounding Law Prohibitions.

Eight years in the game, a month in reality.

During this month, Lu Qingfeng had spent most of his time in the game. In reality, apart from practicing cultivation, he only broke through several Third-rank Medicine Mountains when corroborating "True Skill of Heavenly Monarch's Array Dao," thus acquiring some Third-rank Spirit Medicine.

"True Skill of Heavenly Monarch's Array Dao," truly worthy of being a text that the Soul Searching General from the Yang Realm heard from the Ten Heavenly Lords on Golden Turtle Island, possessed pearls of wisdom within its texts and contained the profound truths of Array Dao.

The Soul Searching General, who founded the Soul Searching Temple in the Yang Realm, was an average cultivator in the Heavenly Realm, but he was particularly obsessed with Array Dao.

The self-edited "True Skill of Heavenly Monarch's Array Dao," with its approach from simple to complex, would probably yield greater insights for Lu Qingfeng than personally attending lectures by the Ten Heavenly Lords.

In eight years, Lu Qingfeng traveled through seven nations, also delving into the art of prohibitions.

Using Heavenly Silver to accelerate derivation and comprehension of prohibitions, although it was just a short span of eight years, the effects were no less than those of decades of research without the aid of Heavenly Silver.

He had already grasped the basics and studied the entrance-level knowledge, capable of setting up and breaking through simple prohibitions.

For example, the prohibitions on the First Rank Medicine Mountains in the Hundred Herbs Garden, Lu Qingfeng could break without invoking the power of Daluo Cave Temple, simply with a flick of his hand.

Second Rank Medicine Mountains took some time but could still be broken.

Only the prohibitions of the Third-rank Medicine Mountains presented some difficulty; however, with careful study and diligent practice, they too were manageable.

He was on par with the so-called 'prohibition masters' of the four major sects within Juyun Mountain Range.

Paired with Daluo Cave Temple, Lu Qingfeng could navigate through prohibitions with ease.

Even without destroying these prohibitions, he could come and go as he pleased by leveraging his understanding of them, as well as the 'Insight' and 'Breaking Illusion' abilities of the Daluo Cave Temple.

For the Third-rank Medicine Mountain that grew Blood Spirit Grass, Lu Qingfeng had ascended step by step using the Daluo Cave Temple in conjunction with his mastery of prohibitions.

Thunder and wind around him, water and fire covering him above and below.

Lu Qingfeng walked as if traversing purgatory, unaffected by calamities, not triggering prohibitions, and moving effortlessly.

"The vastness of Array Formation Restriction Dao is like smoke, its intricacies profound. Having spent eight years in Changqing Realm, I can barely consider myself a beginner. Combined with Daluo Cave Temple, though, I can navigate freely through the many prohibitions of Hundred Herbs Garden."

"I wonder about the prohibitions guarding the Revitalizing Fruit Trees."

"Let's take a look."

Lu Qingfeng descended the mountain, heading towards the nearest Revitalizing Fruit Tree.

It has been three months since entering Hundred Herbs Garden.

According to past patterns, in the next few days, three out of the nine Revitalizing Fruit Trees will successively bear ripe Yang Fruit.

At this moment.

The cultivators from the upper echelons of Hundred Herbs Garden had already started heading towards Sky Sun Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng employed the Concealing Technique and Concealing Technique, reaching Sky Sun Mountain in less than half an hour.

Sky Sun Mountain was indeed where the Returning Yang Fruit Tree thrived.

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the mountain; it wasn't tall and resembled the Third-rank Medicine Mountain. Currently, at the base of the mountain, the entrance to the prohibition had already gathered quite a crowd—
