Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 5: Mingyi Divine Division
The Yang family mansion covers a very large area, with large courtyards nested within small courtyards and gardens stacked with pavilions. It is bustling with people coming and going on weekdays.

This time, Jin Guangding was afraid that he would not let Wen Jingluan down and not kill thoroughly enough, so he not only killed people with his flying sword, but also cast a spell to start a raging fire.

When Yang Qisheng rushed back, although the fire had subsided, thick smoke was still rising into the sky, and many houses were burned down.

He quickly gathered people to put out the fire, and then counted the number of people in the ruins.

Among the main characters of the Yang family, Yang Tianque and Zhao Ruolan were brutally murdered, six of the eight concubines were burned to death, and only two survived.

Among Yang Qisheng's half-brothers and sisters, six were killed, leaving only his eldest half-brother Yang Qisheng and his eight-year-old half-brother Yang Qixing.

Yang Qisheng was not in the main courtyard at the time. After realizing that something was wrong, he hid in time and rescued his biological mother, Aunt Zhou, from the fire.

However, Yang Qixing was nowhere to be found. His body was not found in the fire scene, and people were sent to search for him until dawn, but no trace of him was found.

In addition, Yang Qisheng had two older sisters who were married in other places and survived the disaster.

Looking at the corpses one after another, Yang Qisheng felt heartbroken, especially those of his mother Zhao Ruolan. This mother was so good to him.

Seeing that Yang Qisheng was able to protect his biological mother, and that he was better at martial arts and had more power than Yang Qisheng, but was unable to save his mother when danger came, he couldn't help but feel more upset and burst into tears.

But his father is gone, and he is the head of the Yang family. He cannot vent his emotions at will, but has to cheer up and take care of the funeral affairs.

He quickly dispatched personnel:
Some cleaned up the ruins, searched for valuables, and cleared out usable rooms and courtyards, redistributing them to everyone;
Some of them went to various places to announce the death, inform the two sisters, important relatives and friends, Yang Tianque's apprentices, and the managers stationed in various places.

The rest of the people set up the mourning shed, prepared the coffin, and hired specialized personnel to bury the body.

A mourning tent was erected on the street, 36 feet high, with 48 coffins of various sizes placed inside. It was shocking to see from a distance.

Yang Qisheng had Jin Guangding's body dragged over and personally cut off the demon's head.

Then, Yang Qisheng used a knife to cut open the belly, took out the heart and lungs, put them in large bowls, and placed them in front of the spirit.

After their two sisters Yang Huayin and Yang Shaoyin came back, the four brothers and sisters cried and cut the Golden Light Cauldron into eight pieces, stuck the limbs upside down, and placed it together with the head and internal organs in a large wooden basin, alongside the offerings next to them, to be burned together during the burial.

People in the underworld do not show mercy to others, but only distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

When Wen Jingluan is killed in the future, he will be taken to the Yang family’s ancestral tomb and dealt with in the usual way.

Jin Guang Ding's flying sword had been broken by Wen Jingluan's flying needle. The sword body was broken into two parts, dull and lifeless, and had lost all its spirituality, becoming just scrap metal.

He also had two other treasures on him: a jade talisman and a Qiankun bag.

The jade talisman is carved from top-grade yellow jade, is only the size of a thumb, and is engraved with densely packed negative-script talismans on its surface.

Looking closely against the sunlight, the sunlight shines through its surface and blooms inside like a bright flame. As it rotates, it seems as if there is a brilliant light flowing in the lines on the surface.

If placed in a dark place, the jade talisman will emit a soft golden light like a lamp.

This jade talisman is undoubtedly a treasure, but unfortunately, how to use it is still unknown.

"I can only wait a few days to see Master and ask him for advice."

Yang Qisheng was thinking about putting the talisman away when the voice of Mingyi Zhenren suddenly rang out in his mind: "This is the Golden Light Divine Mantra of the Eight Yangs of Heaven and Earth. The Golden Light Daoism practiced by the Golden Light Cauldron belongs to the Dongshen lineage and is also the orthodox Xuanmen. However, it was not fully acquired. After being passed down for several generations, in order to enhance its power, various methods were used to supplement it, and it ultimately fell into the trap of side sects."

This was exactly the little figure condensed from the spiritual consciousness left by Mingyi Zhenren in Yang Qisheng's Niwan Palace speaking!
It was said to be a speech, but in fact it was a transmission of thoughts. A large amount of information instantly poured into Yang Qisheng's mind. Yang Qisheng was surprised and delighted. He did not expect that the spiritual consciousness left to him by his master would have such a wonderful use.

He tried to concentrate, and the figure of Mingyi Zhenren in a red robe appeared before him. He could see it but could not touch it, as if it was just a phantom floating about ten feet away.

"Master! Are you talking to me from over 1,200 miles away?"

"No, this is just a wisp of divine consciousness I slashed out, which has sealed some of my memories. It can guide you on how to practice, answer all the questions you have on the road of practice, and teach you the "Spiritual Treasure Five Talismans Sutra" for building the foundation of our sect."

Wonderful! Yang Qisheng was excited and marveled at the magic of the immortal technique.

He asked, "Master, what is the name of our sect? I heard you mention Taiyi Palace earlier, and Wen Jingluan mentioned Dongxuan Golden Elixir. What do Dongxuan and Dongshen mean?"

Mingyi Zhenren answered him: "Heaven and earth give birth to all things, but we regard all things as ants; the Great Dao gives rise to heaven and earth, but we regard heaven and earth as bubbles. All things in heaven and earth are within the Great Dao.
The Tao itself possesses infinite energy, which mortals cannot understand or use. Sages in the world can understand but cannot use it. Only those who practice Taoism can understand and use it.

The founder of Taoism created three Dharma lines for this purpose, namely Dongzhen, Dongxuan and Dongshen. Dong means to be connected. The Tao is in people, and people are in the Tao. The Tao is not far from people, but people do not know it.

The Three Caverns Dharma can reconnect a person to the Dao body, just like a baby's umbilical cord, absorbing the innate essence of the Dao and helping people open the door to the myriad wonders!

This is no longer simply answering questions, but formal preaching.

Yang Qisheng felt like he had opened the door to a new world. He could understand three-quarters of the words literally, and the rest needed to be chewed and comprehended carefully. But just listening to them made him feel his mind broadened, as if the original world had burst like a dream bubble, revealing an even more vast and boundless universe and time and space behind it!
Mingyi Zhenren continued, "Our sect's techniques belong to the Dongxuan lineage. Our sanctuary is located at the Taiyi Palace on Qingning Mountain, one of the three Taoist palaces. We have also established a separate residence in the Zhaoye Cave on Longgao Mountain.

According to the rules of our sect, when accepting a disciple, we must first make him a registered disciple and only teach him the basic Qigong skills. He will not be taken back to the mountains, but will still be required to walk in the human world for three years to observe his character and personality.

After three years, they can take it back to their respective caves and be taught the "Lingbao Wufujing". Although they are officially admitted, they are not included in the sect list. They must complete the Qi Refining and the Foundation Establishment.

Only those with suitable aptitude, comprehension, character, and integrity can be brought back to Taiyi Palace. After paying respects to the Grand Master, the Head Brother will include them in the Immortal Genealogy, and fellow disciples will watch and congratulate them."

Yang Qisheng was secretly shocked. The Xuanmen sect was too strict in accepting disciples. Not to mention the three-year probation period, even though he was already a formal disciple, he still couldn't be included in the family tree.

"Master, you said you would make an exception and accept me as your disciple, but I haven't learned the initial skills of refining Qi and establishing roots. Will my foundation be unstable?"

Mingyi Zhenren told him: "Your Yang family's ancestor was a registered disciple of your uncle Dayou over a hundred years ago. The Guixu Dafa was derived from the three Qi-refining techniques of our sect.

However, when he left Taiyi Palace, he was worried about being held accountable and punished by Taiyi Palace, and was also afraid of triggering the forbidden heavenly punishment from the old Universal Grand Ceremony, so he deleted all the parts about cultivating immortals.

The innate true qi cultivated is not used to activate the river cart, but is only used to temper the muscles and bones and replenish the five internal organs. Although the true qi becomes thicker with practice, it is always accumulated at the mortal level and lingers outside the immortal gate.

Actually, it's not an exception for me to accept you as my disciple. You've been practicing the family tradition of "Guixu Dafa" since you were a child. In fact, it's the Taiyi Palace's rooted Qi training.

While others may only need three years to cultivate, you've already been practicing for over a decade, your accumulated Qi far surpassing your peers. Five years ago, I heard of your great name and came to Sanjiang City several times to observe you secretly.

I know your conduct and moral character well. Others have observed you for three years, but you have for five. I should have taken you up the mountain earlier, but it was only because of the Universal Ceremony.

I originally planned to come back to you in three years, but I didn't expect that the hundred-year deadline was approaching, and all the evil spirits were ready to make a move. They couldn't wait any longer and came out to stir up trouble in advance! "
