Gu Yue's Concerns; A Difficult Decision

Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge.

This is a forbidden cultivation area of Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain. Only with the permission of the sect can cultivators enter to cultivate and comprehend Military Tome Stone or Treasure Sword Stone.

The Repository of Techniques of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain houses countless profound and mysterious methods and techniques gleaned from the insights of countless talented senior masters who comprehended them in the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge over the years.

Choose a method from among them, then practice in the gorge, verifying each other's understanding. This will make your practice and enlightenment much more efficient.

After meeting with Daoist Bingyi Daoist Guyue, Lu Qingfeng followed Daoist Bingyi and then went to the Repository of Techniques to look through many methods he had comprehended or derived from the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge.

Whether it's Cultivation Method or Technique Method, they are all entered into the Attribute Panel.

In Daoist Bingyi's view, Lu Qingfeng was just skimming through the texts and randomly selected four methods that were considered top-tier.

But little did they know.

The Dharma teachings in the Repository of Techniques were almost completely wiped out by Lu Qingfeng.

Perhaps it was Lu Qingfeng's performance in Green Conch Ravine, as well as in the White Bone Realm and the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect, that made Daoist Guyue and Daoist Bingyi lower their guard.

Perhaps the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain truly values Lu Qingfeng, this 'Primordial Spirit cultivator'.

Lu Qingfeng may freely use any Dharma teachings contained in the Repository of Techniques.

However, Lu Qingfeng also knew this.

The Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain was founded on the Beast-Taming Art. Although some of the methods in the Repository of Techniques are quite profound, even the most profound ones are just ordinary items at the side sect level.

Its only advantage is that it has a wide variety of products.

The fundamental principles and top-level methods are not stored here.

However, Lu Qingfeng was new to the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain, so the fact that he received such treatment showed the sincerity of Gu Yue and Bingyi.

In the Repository of Techniques, Lu Qingfeng found four methods related to the "Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge" and also obtained two methods that recorded the refining of the "Snow-Soul Pearl".

He then went to the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge to cultivate in seclusion.

The Xiling Gorge is centered on White Dog Gorge. To the west, in sequence, are Waterbreaker Gorge, Rice Granary Gorge, and Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge. To the east are Mountain-Quelling Gorge, Yellow Ox Gorge, and Ox Liver and Horse Lung Gorge.

Among them, White Dog Gorge is the place where the sect 'Ancestor Guyue secluded himself for cultivation.

The cliffs on both sides of White Dog Gorge are steep, with white rocks appearing and disappearing, resembling a white dog.

The coastline is lined with towering peaks and sheer cliffs.

In Profound Moon Cave.

The Daoist Bingyi sat cross-legged, and in front of him sat a tall, old Daoist priest with a long beard and a tall hat, with a green gourd and a yellow gourd tied around his waist.

They are among the most outstanding cultivators in the world—

Daoist Guyue!

The Ancestor Guyue's gaze was deep and unfathomable, fixed on the west. It seemed as if he had pierced through the void and seen Lu Qingfeng meditating and comprehending in the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge.

I watched it for a long time.

Ancestor Guyue then spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "According to what you said, this Evergreen is righteous and upright, and is indeed worth cultivating."

"Good."

"Evergreen already had a reputation when he was in the White Bone Realm, having killed many demons. He also saved a group of cultivators from the Nirvana Extermination Divine Sect Impermanence Island. In Green Conch Ravine, if he hadn't deciphered the mysteries of the Snow Mountain Great Array Formation, it would have been difficult to completely eliminate the Green Conch Eight Demons."

Daoist Bingyi nodded and then added, "However, Evergreen's origins are unknown. Just treat him well and don't let him become distant. The core of my Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain lies in my master, as well as the 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron' and the 'Immortal-Binding Treasure Gourd.' As for the rest, whether it's cultivation secret realms or spiritual pills and precious materials, they are all unimportant."

After all Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain is a large and powerful place.

Although Daoist Bingyi admired Lu Qingfeng's character, he remained wary deep down.

This is common sense.

How can someone who's only halfway through learning hold nothing back?

Lu Qingfeng knew, but didn't care.

Daoist Bingyi spoke, he saw no response from Ancestor Guyue. Looking up, he saw Ancestor Guyue gazing at the heavens in a daze.

His thoughts seemed to have already Nine Heavens.

"This is--"

A thought struck Daoist Bingyi, and he guessed at some clues, then fell silent for a moment.

Ancestor Guyue was lost in thought for a long time before withdrawing his gaze from beyond the heavens. He looked at Daoist Bingyi and shook his head, "Evergreen's origins are unknown. Bringing him into the sect can only serve as an aid, not as a core member. In the end, the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain still depends on you."

"Bingyi are ashamed."

Daoist Bingyi lowered his head, his face showing shame.

"Xun Tianxing and I advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm at the same time, and both reached the Fourth Primordial Spirit Realm. However, since there are many Nascent Primordial Spirit in Azurewood Valley, this old fellow ascended to heaven with a flick of his wrist, living a carefree life. He is now in the Upper Realm and has the potential to break through to the Mahayana True Immortal Realm."

"It's pitiful that I, an old Daoist priest, have to guard this foundation in the mortal world, not knowing when I will be able to ascend to immortality."

Ancestor Guyue flipped his palm, revealing a small three-legged cauldron filled with misty energy. Various rare and exotic beasts materialized on it, creating an auspicious and mysterious scene. He seemed to be speaking to himself, yet also to Daoist Bingyi.

Daoist Bingyi secretly looked up at Ancestor Guyue and saw his sorrowful expression. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Bingyi am dull-witted. I have cultivated diligently for many years, but I still cannot Spirit Transformation stage. I have failed my master's expectations."

The small cauldron in the hands of Ancestor Guyue is called the 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron'. It is the number one treasure of Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain, and its importance to Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain Azurewood King Cauldron in Azurewood Valley.

Treasures and rare gems.

Refining and mastering it is no easy task. This 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron' requires one to reach the second stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, the Spirit Transformation realm, and for the Primordial Spirit to be developed before it can be refined and completely mastered.

Otherwise, it would be unsafe.

Ancestor Guyue could have ascended to the upper realm long ago, but he has remained there until now because no one in his sect can inherit the 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron', allowing Xun Tianxing of Azurewood Valley to take the lead.

Although I didn't show it on my face when I attended the ceremony a few days ago, I couldn't help but feel frustrated inside.

Five hundred years!

"I will definitely ascend to immortality in another five hundred years at most. As for the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain, you will have to take charge of it then. If you cannot advance to the Spirit Transformation stage by then, I will have no choice but to take the 'Vajra Long-Armed Ape' and the 'Cold Jade Black Tortoise' with me away from the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers."

Ancestor Guyue stretched out five fingers at Daoist Bingyi and gritted his teeth.

It concerns the Dao Path.

It's difficult to reconcile the stability of the immortal sect with one's own future. After hesitating for a long time, seeing Xun Tianxing of Azurewood Valley ascend to immortality, Ancestor Guyue finally made his decision.

Bingyi Daoist Bingyi nodded bitterly, "I have dragged my master down."

Seeing the appearance of Daoist Bingyi, Ancestor Guyue felt a pang of pity.

After a long silence, he seemed to think of something, raised an eyebrow, and then looked away again.

"Uncle-Master".

"But have you thought of any way?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Daoist Bingyi hurriedly pressed for an answer.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Daoist Bingyi's eyes were fixed on him, Ancestor Guyue pointed to the north and said, "The Green Conch Eight Demons were originally disciples of Wei Fengniang, and learned many of the Six Dust Temple's techniques from Wei Fengniang. That Eight-Armed Devil Master Huang Suo was proficient in the Six Dust Temple's fighting methods, following the path of the Eight-Armed Vajra, which greatly tarnished the reputation of the Six Dust Temple and made Master Zhenhui a laughingstock."

"Since you and Evergreen have killed the Green Conch Eight Demons, Six Dust Temple will be indebted to you. If I were to intervene, I would be quite confident in getting Master Zhenhui to help."

Ancestor Guyue paused for a moment after saying this.

"Master Zhenhui?"

At first, Daoist Bingyi hesitated, but soon realized what he meant and frowned, saying, "Master Uncle, are you referring to the ' Miaofa of Transformation and Rebirth of the Three Vehicles of the Lesser Wheel of the Buddhist Sect '?"

The words fell.

The Daoist Bingyi's face showed a solemn expression, and there seemed to be a struggle in his eyes.

"Good!"

"With your talent, even if you were to advance to the Spirit Transformation stage in this lifetime, who knows when? You might as well take a gamble. If you succeed, you might be able to ascend to the Upper Realm in the future. The path may be arduous, but it's still better than wasting your time now."

Ancestor Guyue said slowly, "I do have some selfish motives in this matter, but the choice is up to you."

The eyes of Daoist Bingyi gleamed.

"Go back and think this over carefully."

"If you've made up your mind, you can come find me. As for Evergreen, I will compensate him myself."

The Green Conch Eight Demons were ultimately killed thanks to Lu Qingfeng. If the cause and effect of the Green Conch Eight Demons were to be used to ask Master Zhenhui of the Six Dust Temple for help, then the Myriad Beasts Immortal Mountain would naturally have to show its appreciation to Lu Qingfeng.

Ancestor Guyue waved to Daoist Bingyi.

"Bingyi take their leave."

Daoist Bingyi's expression was solemn. After thinking for a long time, he still did not respond on the spot, but got up and left Profound Moon Cave.

In Profound Moon Cave.

"Well!"

Ancestor Guyue watched Daoist Bingyi departed, let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky, and finally closed his eyes, plunging Profound Moon Cave into silence.

Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge.

Lu Qingfeng carved out cave abode in the gorge, sat cross-legged at the cave abode, and looked around to see the 'Military Tome Stone' and the 'Treasure Sword Stone,' pondering their mysteries. He set up an array inside and outside the cave abode to prevent detection.

There's no rush to comprehend military strategy and martial arts.

Lu Qingfeng took out the 'Snow-Soul Pearl' he obtained from Green Conch Ravine and held it in his hand.

"Such concentrated snowfield icy power, if thrown into the Dutian Creation Pool, would definitely allow the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies to advance to the seventh level."

It has been some time since Dutian Dark Nether Strategies advanced to the sixth rank, and all the Ghost General and Yin Soldier have returned to their positions. However, advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank will require an unknown amount of resources, which is an astronomical figure for Lu Qingfeng.

It will be difficult to get promoted in the short term.

Devouring the Snow-Soul Pearl is a shortcut, but it would be too wasteful.

"Even if the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies advances to the seventh rank, it will only result in more Core Formation Yin Soldier at the Core Formation level. Primordial Spirit are difficult to kill, and it is not easy to become Dutian Ghost Generals. As for Core Formation Yin Soldier and Core Formation Ghost General, they are just a matter of how much Law Power I have; my strength will not be fundamentally improved."

In this way...

It would be better to maintain the current state of the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies and slowly refine and improve it. First, using the Snow-Soul Pearl to increase our strength is the right path.

Lu Qingfeng did not hesitate.

He held the Snow-Soul Pearl in both hands.

"The Snow-Soul Pearl is an absolute treasure even when used solely to aid cultivation."

"It can be used to refine magical Law Artifact and create extraordinary treasures."

"But its true wonder lies in the Secret Method of cultivating the Snow-Soul Pearl, just like the Snow Mountain Ancestor Wei Fengniang. Once mastered, its power will belong to oneself, and no one else can ever steal it."

Lu Qingfeng also chose the same path as Wei Fengniang.

However, the 'Snow Mountain Great Method' that Wei Fengniang practiced was at best Unorthodox Grade. The power of the Technique Method it created was not the lowest among Transcendent-Grade Spell, but it certainly did not reach the level of Divine Ability.

Lu Qingfeng possesses countless techniques from the "Primordial World," but he has even more ingenious uses for them.

Looking inward, Lu Qingfeng roared inwardly:

"The Twelve Demon Gods— "

"Shebi Shi!"

Immediately.

A dark cloud rose above Lu Qingfeng Lu Qingfeng's head, within which a dragon seemed to lurk. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a demon god with a human face and a beast's body, dog-like ears with Azure Serpent hanging from them, surrounded by various strange phenomena of waxing and waning.

It was none other than the 'Shebi Shi' demon god, who was said to control the weather.

The Snow-Soul Pearl is formed from the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow. Shebi Shi controls the weather, is also within it, and can control the cold. He can refine the Snow-Soul Pearl without any special methods, and the refining speed is far beyond what Wei Fengniang can match.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing the Snow-Soul Pearl, the Demon God Shebi Shi roared and swallowed Snow-Soul Pearl whole. Dark clouds swirled above Lu Qingfeng's head, Demon God Shebi Shi was enveloped in swirling ice and snow as it began to refine the pearl.

Three months later—

Outside the Military Tome and Treasure Sword Gorge, a powerful and chilling aura approached, and in an instant, it followed the Chengyang River into the gorge.
