Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 216 Entering Longhu Mountain, Three Halls and Six Summaries
As the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Lingyu is knowledgeable and well-versed in the ways of the world. He has also been involved in the power struggles within Longhu Mountain, gaining experience and understanding of human nature.

Zhang Lingyu understood very well what a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Lu Feng needed.

Especially someone like Lu Feng, who came from a small sect in the desolate mountains of Hongze County, Xuan Yin Temple, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The lack of transmission of cultivation techniques means that the higher they climb in their cultivation, the more obstacles and difficulties they will encounter.

Without the guidance of inherited cultivation techniques, they would be like headless flies, running around aimlessly and bumping into obstacles everywhere they went.

To waste one's precious life on wrong paths, constantly trying and making mistakes, and squandering one's time.

By the time they realized something was wrong and looked back, it was too late to take another step forward and reach a higher level.

This is the difference between independent cultivators and cultivators from prestigious sects.

Zhang Lingyu, as the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, wields power and controls resources, giving him a natural advantage.

After a moment's thought, he understood why Lu Feng, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was willing to change his sect and join Longhu Mountain as a minor inner sect elder.

Naturally, they came for the inheritance from Longhu Mountain: supernatural powers and techniques, and the path to wealth.

While secretly being wary of Lu Feng's intentions, Zhang Lingyu was also trying to find ways to utilize Lu Feng's late-stage Foundation Establishment combat power for her own use.

Whether it's to help him defeat the Qingquan Hall lineage and seize the opportunity to seek gold, or to increase the power of Longhu Mountain and resist the increasingly powerful Buddhist forces.

Such combat power at the late Foundation Establishment stage is extremely important at this point in time.

Therefore, during his conversation with Lu Feng, Zhang Lingyu intentionally or unintentionally revealed some of the secret techniques passed down on Longhu Mountain.

The extraordinary abilities he just displayed, such as the Five Qi Great Capture Technique and some of his late-stage Foundation Establishment techniques, were all bait Zhang Lingyu used to whet Lu Feng's appetite.

These things are not a secret among the high-ranking cultivators of Longhu Mountain.

Revealing this to Lu Feng wouldn't increase his combat power; at most, it would enrich his experience.

If Lu Feng wants to truly obtain these techniques and secret arts that will benefit him in his future pursuit of gold, he still needs to demonstrate their usefulness on Longhu Mountain.

In any case, Zhang Lingyu will not lose out.

'As expected of the current Celestial Master, he's incredibly cunning and always tries to make empty promises!'

Sipping his tea, Lu Feng listened with a smile to what Zhang Lingyu had to say.

What great supernatural powers, what secret methods for seeking gold, the inheritance from Mount Longhu...

Listening to these things, Lu Feng felt that Zhang Lingyu's pie-in-the-sky promises were big and round, looking very tempting, but there were very few tangible benefits.

His skill in making grand promises is on par with, or even surpasses, that of a lord who spans two realms.

As expected, none of those who could overpower everyone on Longhu Mountain and become the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain were easy to deal with.

However, Lu Feng did not show any impatience when faced with the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's empty promises. Instead, he amiably and cheerfully echoed Zhang Lingyu's words.

Lu Feng was very adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

A true man can bend and stretch. He'll "compromise" with Zhang Lingyu for now, and once Lu Feng goes up Longhu Mountain and manages things for a while, it's really uncertain who will be in charge of the entire Longhu Mountain...

Lu Feng and Zhang Lingyu had a pleasant conversation. After chatting for a while, the two got up and prepared to head to Longhu Mountain.

Lu Feng had nothing much to tidy up at the Xu family's territory; he simply left the Xu family head, who had already pledged allegiance to him, there.

Xu Lin, the head of the Xu family, possesses the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage. There is no problem for him to remain here and guard his family's stronghold.

Furthermore, as he joins Lu Feng's territory, he will gain some territory bonuses, along with the ability to command troops.

Lu Feng casually left Xu Lin some skeleton soldiers and granted him the right to build some basic buildings in the territory, allowing Xu Lin to develop secretly and strive to bring the entire Wuque City into the territory of Xuan Yin Temple, thus establishing a foothold for Xuan Yin Temple in the territory of Longhu Mountain.

This will facilitate Lu Feng's ambitious plan to gradually encroach on Longhu Mountain from the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

……

Wuque City is located in the heart of Tianyuan County, right at the foot of Longhu Mountain, and the two places are only a few hundred miles apart.

For cultivators like Lu Feng and Zhang Lingyu, who are in the late Foundation Establishment stage, traveling back and forth is a piece of cake. They can easily arrive in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn by using their escape light.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll go first and see who reaches Longhu Mountain first!"

Zhang Lingyu unleashed a five-colored rainbow light, its radiance condensed like a sword, and flew towards Longhu Mountain first.

Zhang Lingyu, who was ahead, showed no sign of waiting for Lu Feng. His escape speed was extremely fast, as if he wanted to test Lu Feng and see what he was capable of.

Among the supernatural abilities Lu Feng has learned, the Mingyu Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique excels in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) and is better suited for stealth and surprise attacks. It is not suitable for long-distance raids or speed contests.

The Blood God Demon Scripture, on the other hand, is a demonic divine power. The Blood Shadow Escape Technique within it, once used, blatantly proclaims the title of a demonic prodigy.

As the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, if Zhang Lingyu were to see Lu Feng openly using the Blood God Demon Scripture's supernatural powers, he would probably immediately pull out the sect's most treasured spiritual artifact and unleash his great supernatural power to kill Lu Feng on the spot.

Lu Feng would never use his Blood God Demon Scripture, such a trump card, for a small competition.

Although Lu Feng was not skilled in escape techniques, he had ways to break them.

Secretly activating the Bone Spire, immense power poured out from his body. Lu Feng merged with the void, directly using the power of a space mage to teleport through the void.

No need to activate the escape light; it can travel entirely by the power of space.

His figure swayed in mid-air like ripples on water. With each step he took, a faint silver ripple spread out beneath his feet, and he instantly traversed more than ten miles, as if shrinking the earth to an inch.

Originally lagging behind Zhang Lingyu's escape light by half a step, his figure flickered several times in succession, and like an invisible wind, he quietly caught up with the five-colored escape light.

Zhang Lingyu was flying at a steady speed using his escape light when he suddenly felt a familiar aura beside him. When he turned his head, he saw Lu Feng appear from the ripples in the void.

There wasn't a trace of escape light around him, as if he was meant to be there.

A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and the five-colored escape light subconsciously slowed down, unable to help but exclaim in admiration:
"What exquisite void magic!"

This kind of teleportation technique is faster and more secretive than ordinary escape light; it is a supernatural ability that even Zhang Lingyu has never used.

Although there is a void supernatural power on Longhu Mountain, only the Old Celestial Master knows it. Zhang Lingyu once had high aspirations and wanted to study and learn it, but he was stumped on the first step of cultivating the void supernatural power and returned empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Lu Feng, while also knowing that she had lost the contest.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is truly superior; I am in awe!"

Zhang Lingyu was a man of principle; seeing that Lu Feng had the upper hand, he cupped his hands in apology and graciously admitted, "I guess you could say I used a trick..."

Lu Feng nodded and smiled, focusing on his journey.

The three continued on their journey, the wind whistling past their ears, and the towns and fields below rushing past. In less than a quarter of an hour, the scenery ahead suddenly changed.

Looking up, a dreamlike paradise unfolds before my eyes.

"Ahead lies Longhu Mountain, the very foundation of my Longhu Mountain!"

Zhang Lingyu slowed down his escape speed, his tone carrying a hint of pride as a Celestial Master, which clearly reached the ears of the two.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng focused his gaze and saw a majestic range of mountains in the distance, with dozens of peaks rising abruptly from the ground and piercing the clouds. The peaks were steep and sheer, their entire bodies a deep blue-green, resembling inverted immortal swords.

On the mountain peaks, exotic flowers and rare herbs bloom everywhere, colorful and dazzling. The vermilion palace walls reflect the glow of the sunset, and the glazed tile roofs shimmer with light, scattered in a well-organized manner on the peaks and cliffs.

It is magnificent and exudes the grandeur of immortals.

Thousands of waterfalls cascade down from the towering cliffs, like an inverted Milky Way hanging in the air, with spray and mist filling the air and a roar that echoes through the valley.

It resembles a series of graceful jade dragons swooping down.

At this moment, the sky was a clear, bright blue, and under the bright sun, the mountain mist evaporated and condensed into wisps of golden light, which lingered among the peaks. Sometimes it transformed into a giant dragon winding and coiling, and sometimes it condensed into a fierce tiger raising its head and roaring.

It truly lives up to its name, "Dragon and Tiger Mountain," with its magnificent scenery, and is indeed worthy of being called the first sacred site of the Xuanmen sect in Liang Kingdom.

Lu Feng took a few more glances at the magnificent scenery of Longhu Mountain and was also amazed by this celestial palace.

However, unlike most people who yearn for Longhu Mountain, Lu Feng was more concerned with how to possess this fairyland-like Longhu Mountain for himself.

"Such a treasure land should rightfully become part of my Xuan Yin Temple's territory! Longhu Mountain is one, and I doubt Jingang Temple will be much better off."

Lu Feng thought with a hint of greed.

With the Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu leading the way, the group entered the gate of Longhu Mountain without any hindrance.

Longhu Mountain boasts beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy. If ordinary people come here and breathe in this air, they can be cured of illness and disaster, prolong their lives, and live a few more years.

Cultivators can achieve twice the results with half the effort by practicing in Longhu Mountain, constantly increasing their cultivation level.

This is the foundation and confidence of Longhu Mountain as the leader of the Xuanmen sect in Liang Kingdom. In such an environment, the cultivators on Longhu Mountain can pass on their knowledge from generation to generation and produce talents in every generation.

Lu Feng compared the environment here with his own Xuan Yin Temple territory.

Although the territory of Xuan Yin Temple is better than other places in Liang Kingdom, it is still far inferior to Longhu Mountain.

Only in the Blackrock Territory of the Lord's World, near the Lord's Mansion, can there be such abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Upon arriving at Longhu Mountain, Zhang Lingyu summoned Yunlong Daoist, whom Lu Feng and Yu Chan Daoist were familiar with, to show them around the mountain.

Zhang Lingyu himself hurriedly left with the "Wang Ling Dao Ren" who had already turned into a stone sculpture.

He wanted to use the excellent excuse of "Wang Ling Dao Ren" to dampen the arrogance of the Qingquan Palace faction, and incidentally, to extract some benefits and power from the Qingquan Palace faction for Lu Feng, who had just joined his ranks.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

When Yunlong Daoist saw Lu Feng again, a bright smile filled his face, and he was very polite.

Yunlong Daoist had handled the matter of the unfortunate "Wang Ling Daoist" and was already aware of Lu Feng's abilities.

Yunlong Daoist's cultivation level was slightly inferior, so he was suppressed by Wang Ling Daoist of Qingquan Palace for a long time, and the two had accumulated a lot of grudges.

However, Daoist Yunlong's cultivation was slightly inferior, and he was no match for Daoist Wangling. He could only suppress these grudges in his heart.

Now that Wang Lingdao has suffered a major setback at Lu Feng's hands, looking utterly humiliated, he will become an excuse for Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu to launch an attack on the Qingquan Palace lineage.

Yunlong Daoist could easily imagine the tragic fate that awaited Wang Ling Daoist long afterward.

Wang Ling Daoist was in trouble, while Yunlong Daoist was naturally overjoyed. If he didn't have to take Lu Feng to visit Longhu Mountain, Yunlong Daoist would have liked to find a place to set up a few tables, drink to his heart's content, and get drunk.

As Wang Lingdaoren's rival, Yunlong Daoren naturally understood Wang Lingdaoren's prowess. Lu Feng, who was stronger than Wang Lingdaoren and possessed the powerful strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, was naturally treated with even greater politeness and respect by Yunlong Daoren.

This is respect for the strong.

Faced with Yunlong Daoist's politeness, Lu Feng simply smiled and nodded, responding calmly.

Led by Daoist Yunlong, Lu Feng and Daoist Yuchan toured Longhu Mountain in a whirlwind manner.

"This is the outer gate of Longhu Mountain. It's the place where most of the outer gate disciples of Longhu Mountain cultivate. They're mostly Qi Refining stage disciples who are good for nothing!"

The outer sect of Longhu Mountain is vast, occupying several mountain peaks and housing nearly ten thousand disciples, all of whom are at least at the Qi Refining stage.

Those who cultivate immortality all use the orthodox techniques from Longhu Mountain, which are profound and have a long-lasting influence.

Lu Feng glanced at these spirited and imposing outer disciples and nodded approvingly.

"As expected of a major sect like Longhu Mountain, it has a profound foundation. Even its outer disciples can become so elite!"

These outer disciples of Longhu Mountain may seem inconspicuous within the mountain, but once they leave, they can easily take on three or four rogue cultivators of the same level.

They are all elites from major sects.

After visiting the outer gate of Longhu Mountain, we entered the inner gate.

The inner gate of Longhu Mountain has three main halls and six smaller halls: the Celestial Master Hall, the Clear Spring Hall, and the Offering Hall.

The Celestial Master's Hall belongs to the current Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu. Those who enter it are all cultivators who have cultivated supernatural powers in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and they are all loyal subordinates of Zhang Lingyu.

Qingquan Hall is another major power in Longhu Mountain that can rival the Celestial Master Hall.

Qingquan Hall was not originally called this. Its original form was the Dan Hall on Longhu Mountain, which was in charge of alchemy.

Later, a late-stage Foundation Establishment alchemist emerged from the Dan Hall; he is now the Hall Master of Qingquan Hall, Venerable Qingquan.

He created his own method of alchemy using water, based on spiritual springs, turning the delicate art of alchemy into an easy task of large-scale production and mass manufacturing.

Thanks to the profits from large-scale alchemy, the Lord of Qingquan Palace naturally gained considerable power on Longhu Mountain, forming a situation where he was on par with the contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Lingyu.

The Offering Hall, on the other hand, is for the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Longhu Mountain who are old and no longer wish to participate in power struggles, but only want to enjoy their later years. They all join the Offering Hall and are in a relatively neutral position, forming their own faction.
