Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 149 - 140: Pattern! The Laws! [Vote for Monthly Pass!]

General Ridge is located in the Northern Territory, within Lei State.

The nobles of Lei State came to pay homage upon hearing the news.

Ultimately, it was Iron Curtain General, skilled in both civil and martial affairs, whom the Master of Soul Searching Temple favored, rising to prominence in a single bound. In just eight short years, he swept across the territories of the Lei State nobles from a single county, and became the Lord of Lei State.

He himself took on the title of Iron Curtain Marquis, becoming one of the four great nobles leading Jing Country's four directions.

As chaos continued to brew, the situation in Jing Country gradually became clear—

In the Southern Territory, Judge Star Sect was held in the highest regard, with Guan Lanzi being the first to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, achieving the realm of Heavenly Disaster.

Masters of Thunder Skill, they occupied Ma Tiliang Mountain, and none of the lesser factions dared to invade.

The Mu Yang Marquis of Yinzhou in the Southern Territory esteemed the Judge Star Sect and was the foremost noble of the Southern Territory, ranking as one of the four great nobles of Jing Country.

...

In the Western Realm, Purple Mist Palace was held in the highest esteem, with Ni Chang Fairy practicing cultivation with Divine Speed and entering the realm of Heavenly Disaster.

Her swordsmanship was peerless, occupying Tiangu Mountain.

The Purple Robe Marquis of Rong State in the Western Realm esteemed Purple Mist Palace and was the foremost noble of the Western Realm, ranking as one of the four great nobles of Jing Country.

...

In the Eastern Realm, Bao Du Mountain's Feifeng Pavilion was a den of demon creatures, venerating the Five-colored Flying Phoenix.

Later, because the Five-colored Flying Phoenix ventured into General Ridge, it was subdued by the Master of Soul Searching Temple, and now Bao Du Mountain has become another estate of Soul Searching Temple, guarded by two powerhouses of the Heavenly Disaster Realm from Soul Searching Temple.

Five years ago, another Spiritual Mountain emerged in the Eastern Realm, named 'Yellow Robe Mountain'.

Out of Yellow Robe Mountain came a demon creature self-proclaimed as 'Yellow Robe Great Saint', who roared through the forests and quickly gathered a host of demon creatures to seize the Spiritual Mountain, establishing the 'Great Saint Mansion', with no small influence.

Years passed, and it has also supported a lord in the Eastern Realm.

Though a later comer, with the backing and support of Great Saint Mansion, it also ranked as one of the four great nobles of Jing Country, known as 'Yellow Wind Marquis'.

Soul Searching Temple at General Ridge.

Judge Star Sect of Ma Tiliang Mountain.

Purple Mist Palace of Tiangu Mountain.

Great Saint Mansion of Yellow Robe Mountain.

These are the four great Immortal Sects of Jing Country!

Iron Curtain Marquis in the Northern Territory.

Mu Yang Marquis in the Southern Territory.

Purple Robe Marquis in the Western Realm.

Yellow Wind Marquis in the Eastern Realm.

These are the four great nobles of Jing Country.

Add to these, Jing Country's Royal Family and the Seeking Immortal Que established by the royal house, and they become Chu Country's ten most powerful and influential forces.

Among the secular forces, Jing Country's Royal Family is the strongest.

Eminent above the immortal sects is Soul Searching Temple at General Ridge. With just the Master of Soul Searching Temple alone, one can suppress an entire nation, unmatched by any.

...

Thunder Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng meditates in his back mountain cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling is lined with several rows of bookshelves filled with ancient texts and Jade Scrolls, all of which Lu Qingfeng has collected over the years, encompassing various books and Secret Techniques.

Both pearls covered in dust and mediocre works filling the numbers.

Although the Changqing Realm is only just reviving, with dragons and snakes rising from the land and all kinds of True Skills emerging in abundance, through collection efforts across various regions by Soul Searching Temple and the Lei State Iron Curtain Marquis, the genuinely useful Magic Gates that Lu Qingfeng obtained are still in the minority.

"Most people regard inheritance as paramount, often cherishing their own brooms as treasures. To willingly hand over their prized and treasured Secret Techniques to my Soul Searching Temple, even with the promise of high office and generous inducement, is extremely difficult."

Lu Qingfeng completes his cultivation and opens his eyes, which shine with complex lights as he looks towards the bookshelves in the cave dwelling.

It took a full eight years to collect these few shelves of True Skills.

Among them, many are on par with the 'Thirty-Six Layers of Gods Seeking Records' of Soul Searching Temple, written by later generations after the destruction of the Changqing Realm, not of much use to Lu Qingfeng.

Truly like the 'Secrets of Soul Searching' in their usefulness, such Magic Gates are incredibly rare.

After eight years of effort by Soul Searching Temple and Iron Curtain Marquis Mansion, they were fortunate to obtain just three Techniques.

These Three Techniques—

The first is a Demon Bird cultivation technique acquired from Feifeng Pavilion eight years ago, called "Nine-Colored Phoenix Technique," which is a Side Door Level Skill.

It is on the same grade and level as the "Yin Yang Nine Revolutions Spirit Bright Heart Technique" that Lu Qingfeng deciphered from the carcass of the Black Vein Golden Butterfly, both of which are Demon Clan techniques.

The Five-colored Flying Phoenix cultivates this particular Magic Gate.

For Lu Qingfeng, it's not of much use.

Using it to train a few spirit birds is better than nothing.

The second technique was obtained from Yellow Robe Mountain.

At that time, while Lu Qingfeng was traveling through the seven countries, six God Realm powerhouses from Soul Searching Temple descended on Yellow Robe Mountain to snatch the Divine Object, the Manifestation Saint Spiritual Fruit, and also acquired the "Yellow Robe True Skill."

This technique is for cultivating the physical body and is a Side Door Level Skill. Both Demon Clan and Human Clan can cultivate it. When cultivated to the highest level, even a Mahayana True Immortal cannot break through its physical defenses, granting the user an invincible position.

Although Lu Qingfeng has the "Iron Refining Body," which is a True Sect Level Cultivation Method, it started as a Basic Level and was strengthened from there.

Throughout his search in all directions, the strongest Body Refining Technique he had found was only Refined Level, so Lu Qingfeng never switched.

Now that he has the Side Door Level "Yellow Robe True Skill," he can replace "Iron Refining Body" with it.

In the human world, Side Door Level Skills are considered top-notch.

For instance, Luo Fu Sword Sect from Red Smoke Realm, their strongest technique "Luo Fu Sword Scripture" is also Side Door Level. The foundational skills of the Immortal Sects like Soul Searching Temple from Changqing Realm, which predated the realm's destruction, are mostly Side Door Level as well.

As for True Sect Level?

Lu Qingfeng only obtained one scroll, the "Heavenly Monarch Array Dao True Solution," but it's not a cultivation technique; instead, it is Array Dao Books.

Compared with "Iron Refining Body," the "Yellow Robe True Skill" may be temporarily one grade lower, but it has immense potential, and the Experience Value required for subsequent strengthening is less.

It has many advantages over "Iron Refining Body" and is currently the strongest Body Refining Technique Lu Qingfeng can find in the human world.

Apart from "Nine-Colored Phoenix Technique" and "Yellow Robe True Skill."

The final True Skill is the newly delivered "Prison Control Heart Sutra" from Iron Curtain Marquis Mansion.

"Cultivating this technique allows one to control the Five Thunders and, with a wave of the hand, lay down a Thunder Prison, which is even more profound than the 'Secrets of Soul Searching.'"

"A Side Door Level Skill!"

Lu Qingfeng held in his hands a yellowed ancient text, with joy apparent on his face.

"The Changqing Realm indeed holds great potential to be unearthed."

In just eight years, solely through Soul Searching Temple and Iron Curtain Marquis Mansion, he has acquired four Side Door Level Skills and one True Sect Level Array Dao Book.

Lu Qingfeng himself has also collected many True Skills during his travels.

While they may be highly homogeneous, they also greatly enhance Lu Qingfeng's foundation.

Techniques like the martial chapter of "Secrets of Soul Searching" and "Prison Control Heart Sutra" are both Thunder Skill based, yet they focus on different aspects.

Once Lu Qingfeng explores Changqing Realm and integrates these similar skills, drawing upon their strengths and compensating for their shortcomings, unexpected surprises might arise.

As for magical techniques,

With myriad techniques available, Lu Qingfeng has Hand Heart Thunder, as well as the previously mastered Divine Skills and high and Super-level Techniques; in theory, he is already sufficiently equipped.

However, collecting a few more techniques is also beneficial.

Each technique has its specialization and unique features. If faced with special circumstances, different techniques can have unexpectedly great effects.

Of course,

A last-minute cram is enough.

Currently, Lu Qingfeng needs to cultivate and learn Array Dao, so his energy is limited. Mastery of various techniques must be planned and organized; blind practice should be avoided to prevent wasting time.

Soul Searching Temple and Iron Curtain Marquis Mansion continue to collect various Cultivation Methods, techniques, and other Magic Gates for Lu Qingfeng.

For now, they are mostly comprised of Middle and Low-level techniques, Basic and Refined Level Skills.

But one can never tell when good fortune will strike.

Wasn't "Prison Control Heart Sutra" acquired in just such a manner?

"Soul Searching Temple and Iron Curtain Marquis Mansion, though they command a region, ultimately have their limitations."

"Traversing Spirit Mountains is the shortcut to obtaining True Skills."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.

Over these years, traveling across the seven countries, Lu Qingfeng has visited every Spirit Mountain.

There are not many Spirit Mountains in the world, yet not a few either.

Within Jing Country, fifteen Spirit Mountains have emerged in the past fifteen years, the most among the seven countries.
