Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 367 - 346: This person has a deep friendship with Thunder Department Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun!

Primordial times are fraught with complexities, and the waters run deep. Each Immortal God possesses a formidable background to some degree. Take, for instance, the Six-Eyed Venerable, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Daoist Sect Leader and thus a prominent figure of the Third Generation under the Heavenly Daoism, equal in status to the Fire Spirit Saint Mother of Jie Sect and Yin Jiao of Chan Sect. Despite being a newer entity, he enjoys a prominent reputation in Primordial Era.

Similarly stands Yin Jiao, who, under the tutelage of Guang Chengzi, the leader among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu Palace, is considered as the prime disciple of the Third Generation in Chan Sect. While he may not compare to certain elites at Guan River Mouth or the Three Altars Sea Meeting Gods in the heavens, his name alone resounds powerfully across the Three Realms.

Amidst the fierce competition between these two for dominance over One Realm, others barely have time to dodge, let alone confront them.

"It is unlikely to be the Peacock Clan," reasoned Luo Gu, who deduced much upon his journey, and continued speaking, "Though Guangyuan Daoist controls the Peacock Lineage's divine powers, he also commands the Black Vein Golden Butterfly Clan's powers, hinting at a different origin. His fundamental magic is derived from Heavenly Daoist heritage. During our battle, he summoned six Dutian Demon Gods in one breath, suggesting his notable status within the Heavenly Daoism."

Few dare to intervene in the dispute between the two sects, and this does not include the Peacock Clan and Black Vein Golden Butterfly Clan.

Thus, it can be inferred that Guangyuan Daoist stems from the Heavenly Daoist lineage, as a disciple under the Six-Eyed Venerable, practicing the Heavenly Daoist's wonderful method. However, it's unclear what chance led him to master four innate divine abilities of the two divine beast clans.

Such a foundation is unparalleled even among the Three Sects and the Earth Immortals. It is truly frightening.

"Born from the Heavenly Dao lineage, wielding four divine abilities."

"Such a character should have been known to us while in the Earth Immortal World."

"Guangyuan."

"Why does he not ring any bell?"

Wei Wuding wore a contemplative expression, yet could not figure it out.

"Guangyuan?"

Feihua Daoist murmured thoughtfully. Wei Wuding quickly inquired, "Do you know of him, junior brother?"

Feihua Daoist, who had trained under Yin Jiao as a registered disciple specializing in Thunder Skill, shook his head hesitantly, "I was assigned by my teacher to operate within the Thunder Department under the command of Six-Eyed Lightning God, and I recall this great divine mentioning 'Guangyuan'."

After attaining proficiency, Feihua Daoist was placed in the Thunder Department for training. Although the Thunder Department mainly consists of Jie Sect disciples and does not get along with the Chan Sect, Six-Eyed Lightning God once received Yin Jiao's favor by easily arranging for a True Immortal to become a Thunder Department God General.

"Oh?"

"Six-Eyed Lightning God? This great divine also wields significant authority within the Thunder Department. His attention to 'Guangyuan' implies the latter's exceptional capabilities."

Wei Wuding, his eyes widening, eagerly followed up, "Do you remember why the Six-Eyed Lightning God mentioned him?"

Shaoyang Daoist and Luo Gu also turned towards Feihua Daoist.

Feihua Daoist responded with a wry smile, "To let my three senior brothers know, the Thunder Department is ultimately an extension of the Golden Turtle Island lineage. Though Six-Eyed Lightning God could not refuse my teacher's request and allowed me into the Thunder Department, I faced exclusion there and knew only bits. Apparently, Guangyuan had deep ties with Bin Yuanjun of the Four Bright Gong, and nothing more."

"Six-Eyed Lightning God."

"Bin Yuanjun of the Four Bright Gong."

Shaoyang Daoist, Luo Gu, and Wei Wuding exchanged glances, their expressions growing increasingly complex, "This person has such connections with the Thunder Department and Golden Turtle Island lineage?!"

Bin Yuanjun, even more authoritative than Six-Eyed Lightning God, was a holder of real power in the Thunder Department. How could a mere True Immortal manage such acquaintances and leave a lasting impression?

For a time, the trio found themselves in a precarious situation, growing more puzzled about the identity of this Guangyuan Daoist from the Heavenly Punishment Abyss.

"Senior brother Shaoyang," both Wei Wuding and Feihua Daoist turned their gaze towards Shaoyang Daoist, with Luo Gu silently bowing his head.

"This Guangyuan has an extraordinary background, likely harboring ill intentions, possibly a direct disciple of the Six-Eyed Venerable. Since he daringly sends such a four-divine-abilities wielding disciple to reincarnate into the Barbarian God Realm, he must have immense confidence in him, granting him Immortal Artifacts—"

Shaoyang Daoist, with a grave expression, glanced at Luo Gu concerning the mention of Immortal Artifacts.

Luo Gu shook his head, "From the beginning to the end, Guangyuan only employed two Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts."

Reflecting on this made Luo Gu feel a bitter taste in his mouth.

This meant that his opponent had not taken him seriously from the start. Without even revealing his trump cards, just a mere display of divine power had led him to a crushing defeat.

How ironic.

"The Immortal Artifact has not appeared yet."

"And he has acquired—"

Wei Wuding paused mid-sentence, looking towards Luo Gu.

Luo Gu offered a bitter smile, "Without showcasing his own Immortal Artifact, its depth remains unknown. My Soul Losing Desolate Bell has fallen into his hands. This man also possesses the Five-Colored Divine Light. The Six-Eyed Venerable truly played a trump card, and all fellow brothers must exercise the utmost caution."

With those words, a solemn silence fell upon Shaoyang Hall.

...

Misunderstandings abound in the Taoyuan lineage.

Lu Qingfeng enjoys a moment of peace.

Seated in meditation within Zhenyuan Mountain, he divides his time between cultivating and instructing his disciples, living contentedly.

In the Abyss Land, the path of the Immortal Dao flourishes increasingly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

In this life,

Lu Qingfeng, upon founding Guangyuan Immortal Sect, did not aggressively seek disciples.

Facing opposition from the reincarnated True Immortals of the Zhou Qing and Yuqing lineages, he values quality over quantity among his disciples and followers.

Thus, over three centuries, Lu Qingfeng's lineage grew to only include nine direct disciples and twenty-four registered disciples. Though he frequently resolved their doubts and often enlightened them, most have ascended to the Core Formation Realm. The remaining few would also reach Core Formation and become True Men within a century at most.

With thirty-three disciples achieving proficiency in cultivation, each has taken on a few to a dozen disciples of their own.

The Guangyuan Immortal Sect spanned three generations, boasting just over a hundred disciples in total.

However, among the second generation, each one was a top contender from the depths of the abyss.

Cultivating the Mysterious Skill of the Immortal Dao, each disciple was bestowed with Divine Powers and possessed Magic Artifacts.

Just entering the Core Formation Realm, they could contend with a Duke, even outmatching ninety-nine Dukes.

Wandering the abyss, they left behind countless legends.

Guangyuan Nine Sons.

Guangyuan Twenty-Four Immortals.

Their names resonated loudly, greatly enhancing the fame of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect and solidifying its status as a holy site for the Immortal Dao within the abyss.

Whether or not they were disciples of Zhenyuan Mountain, all referred to Guangyuan as 'Ancestor Master'.

"Xuan Ning's nine disciples, all taught True Sect Level Skills, not weaker than two lineages of Reincarnated True Immortals. Endowed with Divine Powers, perhaps many Reincarnated True Immortals can't compare."

"With the Cultivation Progress and comprehension of the Cultivation Method Techniques, having 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment', even if they aren't on par with Reincarnated True Immortals, the disparity isn't too significant."

Atop the Cloud Platform, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, deep in contemplation.

To contend with powers like Yin Jiao and Six-Eyed Venerable for the Daoist lineage in the Barbarian God Realm, even with his profound foundations, it was no small challenge. Alone, it was hopeless.

Thus, selecting disciples meticulously and instructing them rigorously was essential.

Only then could they stand against Reincarnated True Immortals like Luo Gu.

These True Immortals, once successfully reincarnated and their innate wisdom awakened, would rapidly increase in cultivation, far surpassing the disciples under Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng could only try to bridge the gap in other areas.

Such as Cultivation Methods.

Such as Divine Powers.

Such as Enlightenment.

This time, clashing with Luo Gu, Lu Qingfeng realized the current strengths of Reincarnated True Immortals. Although it was just one individual, it was telling.

"Luo Gu's skills are not inferior to True Sect Level, mastering the Fallen Divine Light. Like him, each of Xuan Ning's nine also cultivates True Sect Level Skills and possesses a Divine Power."

In that aspect, Zhenyuan Mountain was not lacking.

The twenty-four registered disciples were slightly weaker, practicing Side Door Level Skills and mastering Super-level Techniques, but their strength was in their numbers.

"Even for Six-Eyed Venerable, even for the God of the Year Tai Sui, sending True Immortals into the Barbarian God Realm is no easy feat."

"Immortal Artifacts are rare, certainly not something casually bestowed."

Even the Thunder Department General sought Immortal Artifacts in vain, let alone flooding the hands of these Reincarnated True Immortals.

With Luo Gu mastering the Fallen Divine Light and possessing the Soul Losing Bell, he likely stands out among Reincarnated True Immortals.

"Given this."

"The nine Xuan Ning disciples, facing ordinary Reincarnated True Immortals, even if they do not win, will not be utterly routed."

That was sufficient.

The twenty-four registered disciples could even crush cultivators from two lineages who weren't Reincarnated True Immortals.

"However, at present, there's an urgent matter at hand."

There was some time before clashing with the two lineages, so there was no rush.

Lu Qingfeng reversed his hand, retrieving the Abyssal Scepter, "Within the thirty-six layers of the Material Realm's Abyss, there are thirty-six Abyss Masters. The Guangyuan Immortal Sect, standing firm in the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, must take control of all thirty-six authorities."

Previously engrossed in cultivation, he hadn't yet considered this matter.

Now.

Faraway in the Funeral Bell Plain, the Nine Immortals Mountain Peach Blossom Cave lineage of Yuxu Palace reaching into the abyss indicated that they had secured a foothold in the Funeral Bell Plain. It was possible that the Heavenly Daoist's Six-Eyed lineage might also approach.

If intercepted by them, it would truly be displeasing.

Lu Qingfeng pondered, holding the magic wand, his lips trembling slightly, Xuan Music disappearing into the void unknown.

He then closed his eyes, continued refining the Immortal Artifact, visualizing the Demon God, and cultivating the Great Method.

…

Abyss Land.

Located in the southeast, there was a region known as 'Blood Ring Castle', where one of the ninety-nine Dukes of the Abyss First Layer, ranked seventy-first and above Duke Augustine of the Thorns, resided.

That day.

Blood Ring Castle bellowed with tumultuous energy.

A swift Blood Shadow swirled in the sky.

A young woman from the Black Prison Clan stood amidst it, with a Flame Demon God before her carrying twelve sacred banners, myriad fires swirling, enveloping both the blood light and the Blood Ring Castle.

Additionally, a bird-faced demon with a bamboo-like body, a python-headed demon with red scales, and a tiger-headed demon with long limbs flanked three sides, subtly encasing the blood light.

Regardless of how the blood light charged left and right, it could never break through.

Sudden streaks of Blood Radiance, cutting through the intense fires targeting the Black Prison Clan young woman, were casually blocked by her outer magic robe.

From within the Blood Radiance, an exasperated and furious roar came, "Xuan Ningzi, you're going too far! I, Simmons, have never provoked Zhenyuan Mountain, what reason do you have to attack me!"

Xuan Ningzi stood silently.

The erstwhile Watcher Nest's 'Nisha' from the Black Prison Clan, now Zhenyuan Mountain's chief disciple of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, clad in a dark-colored Daoist robe outside her Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe, stood in mid-air like a Control Pillar, her aura profound, unshakably stable.

After three hundred years.

As the chief disciple of Zhenyuan Mountain, the first disciple of Lu Qingfeng in the Barbarian God Realm.

Xuan Ningzi's cultivation had long reached the Core Formation Realm, making her the strongest among the nine direct and twenty-four registered disciples.

She had defeated numerous Abyss Dukes.

In this battle.

She targeted the Blood Ring Duke, Simmons, of the Blood Ring Castle.
