Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 199 Three Secret Places
Shenmu Taoist Temple.

Yi Feng came to a yard full of magical flowers and herbs.

Passing through flower beds and bushes, Yi Feng saw a young man reading a jade book.

"associate dean."

Yi Feng bowed and saluted.

Yan Shaoyang looked away from the rapidly flashing pages of the Jade Book and looked at Yi Feng with a slight smile.
"Does Teacher Yi know what this is?"

Yan Shaoyang said this while holding up the jade book in his hand.

Yi Feng took a look and shook his head slightly.

“This is the so-called Heavenly Book of Dao.

The ancient cultivators directly passed down the inheritance of the Hedao. "

Yi Feng's eyes moved slightly.

No matter what it is, once it reaches the Return to Void level, it becomes extremely rare, not to mention the inheritance of the Heavenly Book that leads directly to the True Immortal. Even he has never seen it.

Yan Shaoyang said:
"We don't have many Heavenly Books in Shenmu Taoist Academy, but there are quite a few in the Taoist Academy headquarters."

"Main hospital?"

"Yes, I plan to recommend you to the main hospital for further study.

There are many precious knowledges preserved in the main hospital, similar to the Heavenly Book.

Once you get there, you can truly embark on the path of modern cultivation."

Seeing Yi Feng, he was a little confused.

Yan Shaoyang continued:
“There are many Dao Yuanying in the Immortal Kingdom, but the number of Dao Yuanying who can enter Tianzhu Mountain is less than a thousand in the entire Immortal Kingdom. Why is that?

Because all the Dao Yuanyings in Tianzhu Mountain are Dao Yuanyings who have reached the Daotong realm, they are the real controllers of the fairyland.

The Yuanying of the Great Dao is divided into four realms: the connection of all things, the connection of the whole body, the connection of heaven and earth, and the connection of the Great Dao.

These four realms represent both the level of cultivation and the quality of the Nascent Soul of the Great Dao.

In the fairyland, many Dao Nascent Souls who have reached the realm of knowing all things cannot achieve Zhou Tian Tong even after practicing for tens of thousands of years. This is because the quality of the Dao Nascent Souls they condensed is too low.

After condensing the Nascent Soul, improving its quality is countless times more difficult than improving one's cultivation.

I hope you can accumulate knowledge in the main hospital and strive to condense a high-quality Nascent Soul."

"Deputy Dean, as far as I know, the places for further study in our Shenmu Taoist Academy have always been reserved for Jindan instructors. Is it appropriate for me to go?"

“Nothing inappropriate.

To tell you the truth, because of the treatment of immortal officials, many modern cultivators with extraordinary talents will choose to enter the officialdom of the immortal country. There are also many modern cultivators who join the Taoist academy, but most of them have average qualifications.

This is the case for all Taoist academies, and there are even fewer cultivators with extraordinary talents willing to stay in our superior Taoist academy.

You know even without me telling you that over the years, most of our Shenmu Taoist Academy’s graduates, let alone the chief, even those in the top ten in terms of Taoism, basically did not choose to stay in our Taoist Academy.

You also understand that our superior Taoist academy and the main academy are not simply subordinate to each other.

Especially the relationship between our five superior Taoist academies and the main academy is even more complicated."

Yi Feng naturally knew that the Taoist temple was roughly divided into two factions.

One faction advocates that the headquarters should take over all superior Taoist temples and divide resources reasonably.

The other faction, naturally, advocates the independent development of the superior Taoist temple.

Superior Taoist academies with profound heritage like Shenmu Taoist Academy are naturally unwilling to hand over resources to the main academy for distribution.

You know, the five superior Taoist academies, such as Shenmu Taoist Academy, have many resources that the headquarters has always coveted, such as some resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Everyone has selfish desires, and not all the practitioners in the headquarters are selfless.

Yan Shaoyang continued:
“Inside the main academy, there is a place called Tongtian Library. Even within the main academy, very few people can enter this place. Few of our trainees from the higher-level academy know about this place.

But this time, I used my connections to allow you to enter the Tongtian Library.

The Tongtian Library preserves the wisdom and wealth left over from the fairyland over millions of years.

You should also know that the history of the fairyland is not just the 100,000 years of the Tiandu Spiritual Realm.

The Tongtian Library of the Taoist Temple, the Tower of Omniscience on Tianzhu Mountain and the Corridor of the Way of Taoism in Xiandu all preserve the most complete heritage of modern cultivation. It can be said that in the Immortal Kingdom, all the Yuanying who have achieved the Great Dao have basically entered these three secret places before forming an infant.

Originally, I wanted to let you enter after you were promoted to the Great Dao Golden Elixir.

However, the opening time of Tongtian Library is irregular. Sometimes it is opened once every thousand years, and sometimes it is not opened for ten thousand years.

Some Yuanying masters in the Dao Academy have already deduced that the Tongtian Library will be opened within the next few decades."

Yan Shaoyang looked at Yi Feng after he finished speaking.

Yi Feng bowed with a serious expression.

He didn't say anything, but he knew what Yan Shaoyang wanted to express.

Yan Shaoyang knew Yi Feng's character, and seeing his expression, he nodded slightly.

"Go and prepare. There are many people going to the main hospital with you for further study this time. However, except for you, no one else has a place in the Tongtian Library."

Mountains and seas.

The world of immortal cultivation of all spirits, Tianxin Lake, Baimai Island.

Inside a palace on the island.

Yi Qing, Wenren Mingyue and Jiang Long sat separately.

"There is nothing left in the Wanling Immortal Cultivation World that is worth our nostalgia. It is time to go to another Immortal Cultivation World."

Jiang Long said. Wenren Mingyue looked at Yi Qing.

Among the three of them, Yi Qing was the one who made the decision.

Yi Qing had long wanted to go back to the Tiandu Spiritual Realm, but because of the poisonous swamp, he stayed there for several decades longer.

Now, it is time to return to the Tiandu Spiritual Realm, bring back the biological samples accumulated over the years, and let the Dajue Puppet study the new insect nest.

Yi Qing himself also researched out some poisonous insect nests, but he always felt that the insects produced by the nests he researched were somewhat unsatisfactory.

"I plan to go back to the Tiandu Spirit Realm."

Yi Qing said as he looked at Jiang Long.

"It's time to deal with your space debris."

Jiang Long's ability has been recognized by Yi Qing and others. At this moment, Yi Qing also wants Jiang Long to advance to the Great Dao Foundation Building stage.

Jiang Long's eyes moved slightly.

Wenren Mingyue thought for a while and nodded.

Yi Qing continued:

"After we go back, we will each be well prepared. The next time we come to the Mountain and Sea Realm, we will truly begin to conquer it. By then, what will stand in our way will not only be the various powerful mountain and sea beasts and the aristocratic family alliance, but also the Dao Yuanying. With the size of the Mountain and Sea Realm, there will definitely be Dao Yuanying that will end up as well.

If we don’t have the means to fight against or even defeat the Dao Yuanying, we will definitely not be able to dominate the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

Wenren Mingyue nodded.
“However, there is no rush for the Dao Yuanying stage. If my estimation is correct, the fate of the Dao Yuanying will probably be decided hundreds or even thousands of years later when the ownership of the Mountain and Sea Realm is decided. By that time, we may all be able to advance to the Dao Jindan stage.”

Yi Qing and the other two had no intention of accumulating knowledge for thousands of years in the foundation-building stage. They all relied on rapid plundering to improve their cultivation and then used large amounts of resources to strengthen their own foundation. They did not need to rely on time to polish their foundation.

Yi Qing and the other two were planning to advance to the Great Dao Golden Elixir realm. After conquering the Mountain and Sea Realm, they would go to the Beiyue Spiritual Realm, make meritorious deeds, and seek the way to the Great Dao Nascent Soul realm.

Yi Qing planned to seek the knowledge of advancing to the Great Dao Golden Elixir from Ding Yunxian and Yi Feng.

The knowledge of the Great Dao Golden Elixir may be preserved within the Wenren Mingyue family.

As for the casual cultivator Jiang Long, he had no background in a Taoist temple and no status as an immortal official. For the knowledge about the Golden Elixir of the Great Dao, he could only rely on Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue.

After Jiang Long returned to his yard, he closed his eyes and began to think.

On the surface, he is a collaborator of Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue, but in fact, he is just their subordinate.

The interests of the Wanling Immortal Cultivation World belonged to Yi Qing and the other person, and he just drank a little of the leftovers.

At the beginning, Jiang Long was very satisfied.

After all, apart from Yi Qing and the other two, no matter which force he joined, he would be exploited.

That is to say, even though Yi Qing and the others don’t have their own team, they will still accept him because of his ability.

But now, Jiang Long is gradually becoming dissatisfied with the status quo.

He knew how many resources Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue had plundered the Wanling Immortal Realm and was unwilling to just take this little.

He had thought about forming a Taoist couple with Yi Qing.

But the idea ultimately came to nothing.

He knew that Wenren Mingyue was the Taoist partner of Brother Yi Qing. If he dared to express this idea, Yi Qing might kill him.

As for pursuing Yi Qing, I dare not do that.

Among the immortal cultivators in the Insect Realm, there are also some who feel good about themselves and want to reach the top in one step. They express their love to Yi Qing, and then are refined into insect people by Yi Qing.

Just as Jiang Long was thinking about something, a cultivator who looked like a young girl knocked on the door and entered the yard.

This person is Xie Junyi.

Jiang Long had been in the Aristocratic Family Alliance for a long time, but given his position in the Aristocratic Family Alliance, he definitely had not been able to meet Xie Junyi, and he had never even heard of her.

Because Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue slaughtered the cultivators of the Aristocratic Family Alliance in Tianxin Lake, many of the remaining cultivators had no idea of their past identities.

Xie Junyi also joined the Insect Domain as a casual cultivator.

Within the Aristocratic Family Alliance, there are many modern cultivators who came from the background of independent cultivators, and there are also many modern cultivators who have established their foundations in the three paths of heaven, earth, and man.

Therefore, Xie Junyi's identity as a casual cultivator of the Tiandao foundation-building stage is not very conspicuous.

Besides, Yi Qing formed the Insect Domain just to gather some tools, and he didn’t care much about the original identities of the cultivators in the Insect Domain.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I have some questions about refining magic tools and would like to ask you for advice."

Xie Junyi said with a slight smile.

Although she is in the foundation-building stage, she is very humble in front of Jiang Long.

Jiang Long's ability is recognized by Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue. His status in the Insect Domain is naturally incomparable to that of Xie Junyi.

When Jiang Long saw Xie Junyi, he also showed a bit of enthusiasm.

As the two chatted, Jiang Long mentioned that he would be returning to the Tiandu spiritual world in the near future.

"Thank you, please go back first. I will explain your request to the two hall masters."

After Xie Junyi left, Jiang Long put away his smile.

He was able to become the third person in the Insect Realm step by step, so he is naturally not a simple-minded person.

He had long suspected Xie Junyi's identity, and even knew that Xie Junyi hated Yi Qing and Wenren Mingyue.

He had always wanted to use Xie Junyi to do something, and he was the one who deliberately revealed the news of returning to the Tiandu Spiritual Realm.

"I hope this woman won't let me down."
