Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 51 Taiyi Cave Heaven
Yang Qisheng didn't know what answer Dayou Zhenren wanted, so he could only answer according to his heart: "Our family currently lacks anyone with the talent and strategy to conquer the world. My eldest brother is more conservative than enterprising. If he wants to rise up, I will do my utmost to dissuade him."

Dayou Zhenren was very dissatisfied with this answer: "Your Yang family doesn't have such a hero in this generation, and won't there be a hero in the next generation? People who practice Taoism have long life spans, and there will always be heroes among their descendants."

Yang Qisheng wondered if the Immortal was asking whether he should develop his power in the human world after the ban of the Universal Ceremony was lifted.

"I have no intention of helping them become emperors. If they want to, they have to fight on their own."

Dayou Zhenren stared at him, his eyes flashing with brilliance, pressing him: "If you were cultivating in the mountains, and a descendant of the human world came to ask for help, saying that cultivators from the enemy country were helping them, causing them to suffer heavy casualties and put them in imminent danger, would you leave the mountains?"

This problem pushed Yang Qisheng into a corner.

According to the rules of Taiyi Palace, the correct answer should be to cut off worldly ties and not interfere in human affairs.

Perhaps answering "I won't leave the mountain" will gain more recognition from the elders in the sect.

But he couldn't say it after all. Although he was flexible in his dealings, there were always some principles that he had to stick to in his heart.

"Disciple Association."

The air in the room seemed to freeze. Yang Qisheng did not look at Dayou Zhenren. His eyes fell on the floor, and he waited quietly for the "verdict."

After a while, Dayou Zhenren didn't say anything, but just waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Your uncle must be waiting anxiously."

Yang Qisheng's heart was hanging in the air, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned around and walked out.

Seeing that his expression wasn't very good, Liu Hanzhang said, "Uncle Dayou has a cold exterior but a warm heart." After a pause, he continued, "Among the three elders of our Taiyi Palace, my master is the head, but he's been in seclusion for years, so it's Uncle Dayou who truly manages the sect. Third Uncle is a good guy, and he often jokes with us younger ones. You should be able to see him later."

The two of them talked in low voices and came to a spacious cave with a nine-story platform in the center.

Liu Hanzhang took him to the high platform, and with his hands he made a seal and shot out a magic seal, and a door appeared out of thin air in front of him.

"This is our Taiyi Cave Heaven! Only our direct disciples are allowed to enter or exit."

Stepping through the portal that appeared out of thin air, I entered another world.

The cave world is a small world that is developed independently from the big world.

Taiyi Palace is a magnificent palace complex, stacked up in the mountains at different heights, and there is no time to take a closer look.

Liu Hanzhang brought Yang Qisheng and flew directly to a magnificent palace built on a low hill. He raised his hands to forehead height and said, "Disciple Liu Hanzhang, I have brought my junior brother Yang Qisheng here!"

Soon, another young man in white emerged from the hall and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yang is here?" He looked him up and down and praised, "As expected, heroes emerge from youth. Please come in quickly, our master uncle is waiting anxiously."

Liu Hanzhang introduced: "This is Senior Brother Lan Yushu, a disciple of Third Uncle."

Yang Qisheng was secretly surprised when he heard Liu Hanzhang calling him senior brother. He couldn't tell the specific cultivation level of this senior brother Lan, so he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly saluted.

Lan Yushu smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "No need to be so polite."

The three of them entered the hall, and there were actually many people inside, all looking at Yang Qisheng with eyes that were critical, curious, dissatisfied, and even disdainful.

There were three cushions on the main seat, and in the middle sat an old man with a strange appearance. His hair and beard were all white, and even his eyebrows were not a single strand of other color, as white as snow. However, his face was fair and rosy, like a young man. He wore a Nine Heavens Spiritual Treasure Crown on his head, a Mysterious Cavernous Infinite Robe on his body, and a cloak of the sun, moon and stars on the outside. His expression was serious, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes, which made people feel afraid at the sight of him.

The cushion on his left was empty, and on his right sat a Taoist priest in blue clothes, who looked to be in his forties. He had his hair casually tied into a bun and pinned with a wooden hairpin, and wore a loose light blue robe, with a smiling expression.

On the left and right sides, there were twenty-three people. The oldest one was an old man with white hair and beard, and the youngest was in his early twenties.

Liu Hanzhang first reported to the head master sitting in the center, and then introduced two elders to Yang Qisheng. The one in the middle was True Man Wuwang, and the one next to him was True Man Tianqu. Then he stood aside, and Lan Yushu also stood to the left.

Being the focus of so many people's attention, Yang Qisheng also felt a lot of pressure. He took a deep breath, saluted the two elders, and politely greeted the brothers on both sides.

Some of those brothers nodded slightly, some returned the greeting solemnly, and some showed no reaction at all.

After the formalities were completed, Wuwang Zhenren spoke: "Han Zhang came back yesterday and said that with your Foundation Establishment cultivation, you single-handedly eliminated the five-hundred-year-old horse demon corpse in the general's tomb and killed a remnant of the Taiyin Sect."

Yang Qisheng quickly recounted the final scene of Liu Hanzhang's assistance in destroying Young Master Duhun's head. Immortal Wuwang nodded slightly, "You risked your life to save your fellow disciple Xue Yan, which is already commendable. Later, you triumphed over the stronger and slew demons, which is even more remarkable. I've discussed this with your two uncles. Junior Brother Mingyi has been in seclusion for years, and if he wants to reach the Dongxuan realm, he could spend a century in seclusion. Since you've already completed your foundation, we can't delay any further. So, I've asked Hanzhang to bring you here. I've reopened the Xuanmen Gate just for you, accepted you as a formal direct disciple of Taiyi Palace, and entered you into the family tree."

Yang Qisheng was stunned. He didn't expect that his master asked his disciple to bring him here from thousands of miles away just for this matter.

This was such a pleasant surprise. He had been prepared to wait another three years!
Yang Qisheng hurriedly bowed and thanked his two uncles.

The reason why Master Wuwang was dressed so formally was to preside over this initiation ceremony, which was originally held every three years and had just been completed not long ago this year. This time, he specially opened the door for Yang Qisheng.

The ceremony was not complicated and each step was straightforward.

Wuwang Zhenren first told him the origin of Taiyi Palace, and then took him to pay homage to the ancestors: "This sect has a total of three founders..."

The first one is Lingbao Da Tianzun who opened up the Dongxuan Taoist lineage. The three cave lineages are three roads leading to the essence of the Great Dao. Lingbao Tianzun is the founder of one of them. Without him, there would be no Dongxuan Lingbao Taoist lineage.

The second is Taiyi Tianzun, the creator of Taiyi Gongfa. Lingbao Fa is too high and points directly to the great way. Taiyi Tianzun summarized and concluded Lingbao Fa and created Taiyi Fa.

The third is Jiuxuan Tianjun, who is the true founder of Taiyi Sect. He is the one who built the foundation of Qi through the Five Talismans Sutra, refined the evil spirit through the Kunzai Sutra, and refined the evil spirit through the Qianyuan Sutra... This set of exercises for ordinary people to become immortals were all based on the foundation laid by him.

Immortal Wuwang first took him to the Ancestral Hall, where he kowtowed to the statues of the three ancestors that were more than ten feet tall, and then asked his disciples to bring over the genealogy and officially record Yang Qisheng's name in it.

After being entered, Yang Qisheng became the true direct disciple of Taiyi Palace!
Zhenren Tianqu came over with a smile and said a few words of encouragement. His disciple Lan Yushu brought over the tray.

On the plate were three gifts for the new disciple: a gorgeous Qiankun bag, a Taiyi jade talisman for self-protection, and a Taoist book, which was the "Lingbao Kunzai Sutra" that he was going to practice next.

Yang Qisheng first bowed and thanked him, then took the thing. Without even looking at it, he knew that the Qiankun bag was better than the two he got from Jin Guang Ding and Master Duhun.

The Taiyi Jade Talisman is as white as mutton fat. On the front is the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, and on the back is an extremely complex talisman.

It turned out that this Taoist Tianqu was in charge of the sect's medicine garden, alchemy furnace, sword furnace, etc. He was also in charge of refining the Qiankun bag, which every new disciple had.

However, Yang Qisheng was very surprised by the "Lingbao Kunzai Sutra". It could obviously be directly recorded into the consciousness of Mingyi Zhenren in his mind, and there was no need for the cumbersomeness of a physical object.

On second thought, it was probably because the consciousness was left by Mingyi Zhenren, and Wuwang Zhenren could not add anything to it casually. After returning, I read the scriptures once and naturally recorded it in it.
Then, Master Wuwang took him to the Sutra Hall.

The space here was enormous, divided into many small rooms. Master Wuwang led him into one of them and said, "Next, you'll set up the furnace to refine the evil spirits and begin practicing sword techniques. Let me ask you first, are you sure you want to combine the five elements?"

Yang Qisheng had consulted the Mingyi Master clone in his mind countless times about the advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements Combined Refining technique, and he had already made up his mind: "Yes, disciple, I am going to combine the five elements!"

"You must know that if you fail, you will be forced to die and be reincarnated, and all your cultivation in this life will be wasted."

Yang Qisheng nodded: "Disciple is ready."

"That's good." Master Wuwang pointed to a row of bookcases and said, "Our sect has a total of twenty-eight sword techniques. You can choose one from them."

Master Wuwang did not let Yang Qisheng choose blindly, but patiently explained to him the advantages and disadvantages of each sword technique.

It turns out that every sword immortal has to use sword techniques when setting up the furnace and refining the evil spirits. By using different sword techniques with different sword evil spirits, different immortal swords can be refined in the end.

Zhenren Mingyi practiced the Earth Extreme True Fire Evil, and used the Sky Rain of Flowers Sword Technique to refine seventy-two Flying Fire Meteor Swords.

True Man Wuwang practiced the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Technique, and what he refined was the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder Sword.

Sword techniques have different levels of strength and difficulty, but the more powerful the sword technique is, the better it is not. Instead, you have to find the one that suits you best.

Yang Qisheng originally thought that he could either practice his master's Man Tian Hua Yu Sword Technique or the most powerful Jiu Tian Shen Lei Sword Technique. He told Master Wu Wang about his idea.

Immortal Wuwang pointed out, "Your future cultivation of the Five Elements Sword Evil is incompatible with the Mantian Huayu Sword Art and is absolutely impossible. Pairing it with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Art is fine, but it won't bring out the greatest advantages of the Five Elements Sword Evil."

He recommended the Taiyi Splitting Light Sword Technique to Yang Qisheng: "The Five Elements Combined Refining is the most suitable for it. The Taiyi Splitting Light Sword Technique was created by Taiyi Tianzun in the past. It can split light and transform it into energy. One becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred, and it has infinite magical uses. Your fourth uncle practiced this sword technique and refined a set of Three Yang Splitting Light Swords. In the past, he swept away all demons, frightened all monsters, and scared away all evil spirits!"
