But the idea of binding it to Wudang Mountain was proposed by the Tuo Master.
You see, this guy was previously quite a blockhead and was bullied by the old ancestor of East Lake, nearly leading to serious injuries or death.
If he had possessed this cleverness earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Behind this, there must be others guiding him...
Yu Longzi shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with , I just wanted to remind you. I asked for Master Li because there is another matter."
Li Yan responded solemnly, "Please speak, senior."
Yu Longzi glanced at him and said indifferently, "Since you are a living Yin ssenger, I wonder if you cultivate the ’Six Paths Scripture’ or the ’Luo Feng Scripture’?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yan trembled in his heart, "What do you an, senior?"
This was a secret, and he hadn’t expected the other party to speak of it outright.
"There is no need to be defensive."
Yu Longzi shook his head and said, "Although this matter is secret, there are those who know of it, as I have heard from my master."
"After Buddhism entered the Divine State, the structure of the Yin Bureau also changed. Originally, living Yin ssengers cultivated the ’Luo Feng Scripture’. As demonic influences increased and the Tao decreased by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the number of cultivators of ’Luo Feng Scripture’ diminished, with most mixing Buddhist thods into the ’Six Paths Scripture’..."
The ’Luo Feng Scripture’ is good at fighting and killing, but by the late Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos and living Yin ssengers were heavily hunted. Those cultivating the ’Six Paths Scripture’ are better at dealing with fierce ghosts and various soul-calming ceremonies..."
"I see."
Li Yan nodded and said, "I cultivate the ’Luo Feng Scripture’."
Since it was already ntioned openly by others, it was not good for him to keep concealing it.
Indeed, the matters of living Yin ssengers, though secret, were known to so in the high echelons of the Proper Xuan Sect.
It was no surprise that Yu Longzi’s master, Iron Toad Ancestor, being a direct disciple of Master Sanfeng, knew these things.
"The ’Luo Feng Scripture’?"
Hearing Li Yan speak, Yu Longzi’s usually stern face also revealed a slight smile, "Since you cultivate the ’Luo Feng Scripture’, it can be said that you have so roots related to my Wudang."
Li Yan was astonished, "I would ask the senior to enlighten ."
Yu Longzi nodded and explained, "This matter touches on so Mystical Sect secrets. It is rumored that the Beiyin Fengdu Emperor is an incarnation of Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole. Under Emperor Ziwei, there are the Northern Four Saints—Tian Peng, Tianyou, Yisheng, and Emperor Zhenwu, whom we worship at Wudang."
"Though we seldom interact, we are branches of the sa mystic root."
Listening to this, Li Yan grew even more puzzled, "As far as I know, Beiyin Fengdu Emperor was once Emperor Yan from the Great Ting clan, and his magic thod also involves his tabooed na. Could it be..."
Yu Longzi shook his head and said, "This matter involves divine secrets that we mortal beings cannot know."
"On Wudang Mountain, there originally was an enlightened being nad Yin Changsheng, a man from the Eastern Han, discipled under Ma Mingsheng. Ma Mingsheng achieved enlightennt in Langya, discipled under An Qisheng. Yin Changsheng had a disciple Bao Jing, who is the father-in-law of Ge Xianweng, who passed down his magic thods..."
"It is rumored that Yin Changsheng, not only proficient in Fang Xian Dao and Taoist thods but also a living Yin ssenger, traveled the world for three hundred years, was famous in Shu, and eventually ascended in Fengdu County."
"Nowadays, practitioners of ’Luo Feng Scripture’ are nearly extinct. If you wish to continue on this path, finding the inheritance of Yin Changsheng might reveal so mysteries."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan imdiately stood up, clasped his hands respectfully, and said, "Thank you, senior."
This information was crucial to him.
He had occasionally heard of the great na of Yin Changsheng, but never expected that he was also a living Yin ssenger who had lived for three hundred years.
Moreover, he ascended in Fengdu Mountain, a place deeply connected to Fengdu and also a gathering place for living Yin ssengers.
He had already accepted an invitation from Wu Qu to attend a gathering of living Yin ssengers in Fengdu during the first lunar month, which would be a good opportunity to seek the inheritance of Yin Changsheng.
"No need for such formalities."
Yu Longzi said indifferently, "I tell you this also with a selfish motive. Since you are a living Yin ssenger, do you know about the agreent made back then?"
Li Yan frowned, "What agreent?"
"Indeed, you don’t know."
Yu Longzi shook his head and said, "By the end of the Tang Dynasty, as demonic influences increased and the Tao decreased, the world was in chaos, and the Mystical Sects fought among themselves, causing nurous hidden old monsters to run amok, and causing heavy losses to living Yin ssengers."
"The great chaos in the Divine State led to the joint efforts of the Taoist sects to create the Taixuan Orthodox Sect. Back then, several Earth Immortals took action to stabilize the situation, making significant contributions. Thus, when the Taixuan Orthodox Sect was established, an agreent was made with the living Yin ssengers."
"Earth Immortals reside at Cave Heaven Blessed Land; as long as they stay on the mountains governed by Mystical Sect, avoid provoking disputes, and act to stabilize during the turmoil in Divine State, all parties must facilitate,"
"But if they descend the mountain to cause trouble, living Yin ssengers can then pursue and capture them; even if they are my Taoist seniors, Mystical Sect must not interfere. This is the bottom line."
"As of today, so forces intentionally or unintentionally downplay this matter. Now that a transformation in Human Dao is approaching, if this bottom line is broken, a trendous chaos is inevitable."
"These words were entrusted to by my master to relay. Li Yan, if you encounter other living Yin ssengers in the future, you may pass this ssage on to prevent so from exploiting loopholes..."
Li Yan remained silent for a mont, "Junior understands."
With these words, so doubts were thoroughly resolved.
No wonder he felt that the attitude of Mystical Sect was sowhat strange, showing necessary respect to living Yin constables, yet keeping them at arm’s length.
So there was this agreent.
Many people he t, including Luo Mingzi, were unaware of this matter; clearly, so were deliberately downplaying or even hiding it.
As for why, Li Yan had a rough idea in his heart.
When Mystical Sect set this up, it was not only to stabilize Earth Immortals but obviously also motivated by self-interest, to turn those old ghosts who evaded the Heavenly Rules into the underpinnings of their own sect.
Now it seed they had indeed gained depth, but also a bunch of Supre Emperors who naturally didn’t want to bring up this topic...
...
The mountain wind howled, and the sea of clouds churned.
Li Yan and others proceeded along the winding mountain path, occasionally glancing back; Five Dragons Palace had disappeared from their sight.
With the end of Zhenwu Dragon Cave, they naturally moved toward the next Mystical Realm.
The next Mystical Realm, called "Purple Cloud Divine Lamp," was located at Purple Cloud Palace, beneath the banner of Heavenly Pillar Peak’s northeastern side.
Mystical Realm "Purple Cloud Divine Lamp" could assist in comprehending Magic thods and was very suitable for building towers; Wang Daoxuan and Lv San would both build their towers there.
As for Li Yan, he decided to build his tower in the "Thunder Fire Refining Hall," considering the benefits there in comprehending Thunder Techniques.
Furthermore, behind Purple Cloud Palace was the Golden Toad Ancestor Wang Daozong, also the father of Wang Jingxiu.
Just then, old Daoist Wang Jingxiu had already sent a ssenger with news; the matter had been resolved, awaiting them at Purple Cloud Palace.
"Lv San brother, have you asked in detail?"
As they walked, Li Yan inquired in a low voice.
The matter Yu Longzi spoke of was indeed strange; it was essential to clarify who had inford Tuo Master of that thod.
Lv San shook his head, "I did not ask at the ti, but I have ford an alliance with Tuo Master; if it wishes to harm , it cannot escape the curse; there must be another reason."
Li Yan said solemnly, "One must always guard against others. After descending the mountain, find Tuo Master and inquire; if this matter is not clarified, imdiately dissolve the alliance; we cannot get involved any further."
Lv San hesitated for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
He knew that given Li Yan’s actions, the matter must be significant.
Their group, with exceptional footwork, circled around and arrived outside Purple Cloud Palace in less than an hour.
Looking up, they saw lush green mountains, resembling a winnowing basket, with a palace complex nestled within, facing southeast; the aura of incense was rising, full of spiritual charm.
"Such excellent Fengshui."
Wang Daoxuan, upon seeing this, imdiately brightened and surveyed the surroundings: "It is indeed true as the legends say; Emperor granted ’Purple Cloud Blessed Land’ plaque. To its right is Thunder God Cave, to the left is Yuji Pond. Surrounded by mountains, it’s naturally a treasure seat of twin dragons playing with pearls; truly a land for immortals!"
"Hahaha..."
From a distance, an aged laugh rang out; it was Wang Jingxiu, "Of course it is an excellent spiritual acupoint as it nurtures ’Purple Cloud Divine Lamp.’"
"Greetings to the senior."
Upon seeing him, everyone bowed in respect.
"No need for formalities."
Wang Jingxiu waved his hand, "Co with ."
Saying so, he led them to a nearby observation deck. Looking around, his expression turned serious, "About that matter with Tuo Master, we have a result. The exchange of items is acceptable, but building a temple on Wudang Mountain is absolutely impossible!"
