A Conjecture

With the seven kingdoms combined, and including General Ridge, there are currently twenty-four Spirit Mountain and sacred lands in the entire Central Plains.

Wherever there are Spirit Mountain and sacred lands, they are occupied by immortal sects and powerful figures, and many of them possess true techniques.

Lu Qingfeng went to each of them, sometimes by trickery, sometimes by force, and in the end, he obtained quite a few true techniques.

"In this world, most things are based on Thunder Method. Whether it's Cultivation Method or Technique Method, most of them belong to the thunder element."

Set foot on the Spirit Mountain to collect the true teachings.

Lu Qingfeng obtained many Refined Grade and even Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, as well as quite a few mid-level and High-Grade Spell. However, most of them were lightning-attribute Cultivation Method and lightning-based Technique Method.

"The Chiyan Realm was plagued by the Red Smoke Colt, and the Fire Ministry Orthodox God descended to quell the chaos. Fire magic became the most prevalent in this realm. Ancestor Lü traveled here, the Quanzhen and Pure Yang sects arose. The former is the originator of Technique Method, and the latter is the originator of swordsmanship."

"After millions of years of evolution, the Chiyan Realm has formed a tripartite balance of fire magic, Technique Method, and swordsmanship."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

I hadn't noticed it back in the Chiyan Realm, but now that I've come to the Evergreen Realm, a little thought reveals—

The Chiyan Realm is clearly one of the Daoist lineages of the Heavenly Court Fire Ministry, the Jiejiao, and the Upper-Cavern Eight Immortals of the Palace of Eight Sceneries.

And the Evergreen Realm.

The Evil Dragon and demonic calamity were quelled by the Thunder Ministry God leading great gods, generals, and heavenly soldiers to the mortal realm.

"From this perspective, the Evergreen Realm should be one of the foundations of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Ministry in the mortal realm. The immortal sects and lineages within the realm are mostly led by the great gods of the Thunder Ministry. For the Star-Judging Sect Search for God-Seeking Abbey Earthly God-Seeking Great General Thunder Ministry mortal realm. The Judge Star Sect is a lineage passed down by the Star-Judging Great General of the Five Thunders of the Upper Clarity Flying-Thunder Star-Judging Bureau of the Thunder Ministry."

"There is also the Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate in Golden Mountain Ridge of the Zheng Kingdom, which is the lineage passed down by the Six-Eyed Lightning Deity of the Thunder Ministry. This great god of the Thunder Ministry was even one of the great gods of the lower realm who quelled the chaos of the Evil Dragon in the Evergreen Realm back then."

With this in mind, Lu Qingfeng suddenly understood.

The Evergreen Realm is one of the foundations of the Thunder Ministry in the lower realm. When chaos occurs, it is natural for the great gods of the Thunder Ministry to come and suppress it.

"So--"

"Aren't most of the Cultivation Method Technique Method I've acquired in the seven kingdoms over the past few years from the colleagues of the founder of my God-Seeking Abbey?"

Lu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.

If that's true, he's offended quite a few people this time.

"Fortunately, I only collected the Secret Method passed down through generations, and I did not pass them on to outsiders, nor did I harm anyone's life."

Ignorance is no excuse.

"Nothing should happen."

Lu Qingfeng understood the situation and remained calm.

It's unlikely that those high and mighty Thunder Ministry Gods would hold a grudge against a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator from the lower realm for such a trivial matter.

"I have ascended to the upper realm, but I do not know when or in which year or month, let alone in which lifetime."

There is no need to worry.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes gleamed. "Over the years, Spirit Mountain have been constantly emerging. With each Spirit Mountain that appears, there is a high probability that true methods exist. Rather than searching for true methods everywhere like looking for Ocean, it would be better to wait a little longer."

"As long as the cultivators of the Evergreen Realm haven't made a large-scale advancement to the Foundation Establishment, which is also known as the Calamity Realm, I am invincible with my strength. Once more Spirit Mountain appear and major sects establish themselves, I will go out and explore. Focusing on traveling to the Spirit Mountain is the fastest way to obtain true techniques."

"Unfortunately, the current Spiritual Qi revival is only the beginning, and Spirit Mountain and lands are scarce. When the world expands for the second time and Spiritual Qi surges forth, the cultivators and immortal sects of the Evergreen Realm will certainly not be weak. At that time, it will no longer be a time for me to bully them."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

The true Dharma is hidden.

For example, the "Prison-Holding Heart Canon" is a lineage passed down by the Great God of the Prison-Holding Five Thunders.

The mighty Thunder Ministry God's legacy has fallen into the hands of an old Daoist priest at the Heavenly Realm.

It was fortuitous opportunity chance that Lu Qingfeng obtained it.

There are countless true teachings like the "Prison-Holding Heart Canon" that are not widely known throughout the world. Instead of searching for them one by one, it would be better for Lu Qingfeng to wait until Spirit Mountain is created, and for these cultivators who have mastered the true teachings to occupy Spirit Mountain and establish their own sects before he goes there.

There's absolutely no way to escape empty-handed!

This is truly worry-free and effortless.

"For now, I should focus on my cultivation and study the art of array formations at General Ridge."

Lu Qingfeng entered the "Prison-Holding Heart Canon" into his Attribute Panel, then formed hand seals, weaving them into a crane shape, and recited aloud—

"Pass on my order to allow Daoist Changfeng and Wang Xuan to enter the sect, and bestow upon them one Heavenly Immortal Pill and Seven Radiances Pill."

The Immortal Crane flapped its wings, flew out of the cave abode, and disappeared in an instant.

Hundred Herbs Garden.

Blood Spirit Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng stood up and waved his hand to remove the restrictions around him.

Eight years in the game, one month in reality.

For the past month, Lu Qingfeng has spent most of his time in the game. In reality, apart from cultivation, he only broke through a few third-tier medicinal mountains and obtained some third-tier spirit medicine while verifying the "True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao".

"The True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao" is indeed worthy of being heard by the Earthly God-Seeking Great General the Ten Celestial Lords of Golden Ao Island. Every word is a gem, containing the profound principles of array Dao.

The general who founded the Earthly God-Seeking Great General for God-Seeking Abbey in the mortal realm, though only of average cultivation level in the Heavenly Realm, was obsessed with the Dao of Array Formations.

The self-compiled "True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao" progresses from simple to complex. Studying this method is probably more rewarding than Lu Qingfeng currently gaining from personally listening to the Ten Celestial Lords' lectures.

Over the course of eight years, Lu Qingfeng traveled to seven countries, also studying the art of enchantment.

The process of deducing and comprehending the restrictions was accelerated by Heavenly Silver. Although it only took eight years, the effect was no less than that of studying for decades without the help of Heavenly Silver.

They have grasped the basics, studied the fundamentals, and are able to set up and break simple restrictions.

For example, the restrictions on the first-tier medicinal mountain in the Hundred Herbs Garden could be easily broken by Lu Qingfeng without activating the Grand Luo Insight.

A second-tier medicinal mountain can be broken with a little time.

The third-tier medicinal mountain is somewhat difficult, but with careful study and hard work, it is not a problem.

His skill level is comparable to that of the so-called "masters of restriction techniques" among the four major sects of the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

With the help of the Grand Luo Insight, Lu Qingfeng can also move freely within the restricted area.

Even without breaking these restrictions, one can enter and exit freely by relying on one's own understanding of the restrictions and the ability of the Grand Luo Insight to 'see through' and 'Falsehood-Breaking'.

This third-tier medicinal mountain where Blood Spirit Grass grows was climbed step by step by Lu Qingfeng using the Grand Luo Insight combined with his forbidden crafting skills.

Wind and thunder surrounded Lu Qingfeng, while water and fire covered Lu Qingfeng's body.

Lu Qingfeng walked through what felt like Purgatory, untouched by calamities or restrictions, moving through with ease.

"The Dao of formations and restrictions is vast and profound. I have spent eight years in the Evergreen Realm and can barely be considered to have entered the realm. With the help of the Grand Luo Insight, I can move freely through the many restrictions in the Hundred Herbs Garden."

"I don't know what the restrictions on Guardian the Revival Fruit Tree are."

"Let's go take a look."

Lu Qingfeng descended the mountain and hurried toward the nearest Revival Fruit Tree.

It has been three months since I entered the Hundred Herbs Garden.

According to past patterns, in the next few days, the Revival Fruit from three of the nine Revival Fruit Tree will gradually ripen.

Now.

The upper-level cultivators of the Hundred Herbs Garden are already heading towards Tianyang Mountain.

Using his Concealment Technique and Qi-Concealing Technique, Lu Qingfeng arrived at Tianyang Mountain in less than half an hour.

Tianyang Mountain is the place where the Revival Fruit Tree grows.

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the mountain. It wasn't very high, similar in height to a third-tier medicinal mountain. At this moment, a considerable number of people had already gathered at the entrance to the restricted area below the mountain.
