Stay true to your nature and guard your heart

"Let's address each other as fellow Daoist; you don't deserve the title of 'senior.'"

Qingyun was extremely polite to Fang Zelin, especially after receiving some guidance from Fang Zelin earlier.

Therefore, Fang Zelin was addressed as a senior.

Fang Zelin knew, however, that his cultivation was only over thirty years old, and he was not worthy of being called a senior.

Moreover, everyone on Jade Void Mountain addresses him as "senior," which sounds incredibly awkward.

Upon hearing this, Qingyun saw Fang Zelin's sincere expression, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, have you come here because the Great Jin Dynasty is sealed?"

Qingyun changed the subject and asked with renewed focus.

Two years ago, the astrological signs were extremely inauspicious and ominous.

This significantly diminished the fortunes of the Great Jin Great Jin Dynasty, which was destined to be replaced.

However, this process was rather lengthy.

At this time Human Race Karmic Fortune will dissipate and not gather again, and the opportunity for demons to devour the Human Race Karmic Fortune will arise.

Once Human Race Karmic Fortune has been largely devoured, demons will be able to sit atop Human Race and Human Race and control them.

The Orthodox God among Human Race will also be replaced.

At that time, demons will seize power and usurp the country.

Only by protecting the Human Race Karmic Fortune can we Human Race continuation and have the power to contend with the Demon Race.

Otherwise, Human Race would be nothing more than food for demons.

"Yes, I heard about this during my cultivation, so I came."

Fang Zelin nodded upon hearing this, his face serious.

Great Jin was on the verge of collapse, monsters and demons began to emerge.

I've encountered countless monsters along the way.

If this evil is allowed to continue unchecked, then similar tragedies as "Bone Rot" and "Not Envious of Sheep" will occur again.

Fang Zelin couldn't stop what happened in the past, but he couldn't sit idly by and let the people suffer such a great calamity.

"Your senior is truly righteous!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi was overjoyed.

He had witnessed Fang Zelin's actions firsthand; with a single stroke of his wine gourd, the two demons were utterly annihilated.

Judging from this, this senior's cultivation level is extremely high.

With this senior figure stepping in, they should have a better chance of winning.

"Isn't this how all cultivators go through this process? You don't deserve such praise," Fang Zelin said, glancing back at Xuan Yi.

Wasn't the other side exorcising demons before?

"By the way, I have another request to make."

Fang Zelin steered the conversation to the main topic, "I have only been cultivating for a short time and do not yet have many means to exorcise demons. I wonder if I could borrow some Law Technique texts?"

"This is certainly not a problem."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun immediately replied.

He was already thinking about how to repay the kindness he had shown before, so how could he refuse Fang Zelin's request?

"I wonder what Law Technique you need, fellow Daoist? Or perhaps what Law Technique you have practiced before, so I may choose one or two."

There are still some Law Technique texts in Jade Void Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin thought for a moment, then said with shame, "To date, I have only cultivated the Treatise on the Supreme One's Response and a few Law Technique from the Comprehensive Regulations of the Underworld Bureau."

The Treatise on the Supreme One's Response)

Upon hearing about this technique, Xuan Yi and his junior brother exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

Qingyun was also taken aback for a moment, then a look of understanding crossed her face.

After a moment's thought, he said to his disciple, "Go to the library and retrieve all the books from the 'A' shelf."

"Yes!"

Xuan Yi responded and quickly turned to leave.

A moment later, Xuan Yi returned with three books in his hands and presented them to Fang Zelin.

"This is the most treasured artifact of my Jade Void Mountain, but it is quite difficult to comprehend. However, I believe that with your cultivation level, it should be simple for you."

Qingyun spoke, she pointed to the ancient books beside her.

"Oh? If it's really that difficult to cultivate, I'm afraid even I, Fang, am not up to the task."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but say something, and then took the book.

Upon hearing this, Qingyun stroked his beard, his face still beaming with smiles. "The side hall is quite quiet; why don't you continue your meditation here, fellow Daoist? All three books are treasures of Jade Void Mountain and cannot be taken away."

At this point, Qingyun's face also showed a hint of apology.

"This is alright, I can simply write it down and study it slowly in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin stood up and walked towards the side hall. At this moment, his mind was completely focused on the three classic books.

The treasure that Jade Void Mountain possesses must be extraordinary beyond compare!

After Fang Zelin went to the side hall, the door creaked shut.

Xuan Yi, who was in the main hall, exclaimed with some surprise, "Master, this senior is cultivating the Treatise on the Supreme One's Response?"

"The Treatise on the Supreme One's Response is a cultivation method that uses the interaction of heaven and earth with all things. It doesn't mean that this pian is difficult to cultivate or is like a chicken rib."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun stroked his beard, glanced at the side hall, and then nodded.

"It is said that the Treatise on the Supreme One's Response (Treatise on the Response of the Supreme Being) is practiced in this way. To achieve great success in its cultivation, one must have a heart that yearns for enlightenment and frequently enter the Seeking Dao Mountain to attain mastery."

"For us, entering the Seeking Dao Mountain is already difficult enough, let alone cultivating this method. But this senior is extraordinary; entering the Seeking Dao Mountain is as easy as he wants."

"Practicing this method is indeed suitable."

Hearing this, Xuan Yi chimed in, "But with such Dao Heart, and entering the Seeking Dao Mountain so easily, why bother cultivating the Treatise on the Supreme One's Response? Entering the Dao Seeking Dao Mountain grants longer lifespans and provides Spiritual Qi for cultivation; wouldn't it be better to cultivate other methods?"

The Treatise on the Supreme One's Response (Treatise on the Response of the Supreme Being) is a method that can be found in various sects, but the masters in the sects will not allow their disciples to practice it.

To date, no one has heard of any miraculous aspects to this method, but the conditions for its cultivation are extremely demanding, making it rather useless.

Perhaps this method is somewhat mystical.

Qingyun thought for a moment, then said something.

It is said that one has achieved great success in cultivation and can be close to all things, but the specifics are unknown.

After all, this method is indeed too difficult to cultivate.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about the senior's affairs. Now that Yang Xiang has returned from his training, you should pass on the Qi Refining method to him, help him enter the Seeking Dao Mountain, and receive the bestowal of Heaven and Earth."

Qingyun snapped out of her reverie and stopped discussing the matter, instead beginning to give Xuan Yi some instructions.

All disciples who return from their training will receive the method of Qi Refinement.

If one's cultivation is successful, then one will be able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain.

However, whether or not Yang Xiang can enter the Seeking Dao Mountain depends on the depth of his Daoist affinity.

Perhaps even if Yang Xiang sits in meditation until old age, he will never be able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain.

Such things happen frequently on Jade Void Mountain.

"Yes."

The two responded in unison.

Yang Xiang, standing to the side, felt a little uneasy. Thirty years of training had been for this moment.

I don't know if he will be able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain. Among the senior brothers I've seen, many of them have not yet been able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain.

Let's go.

Xuan Yi stood up and left with Yang Xiang. He noticed that Yang Xiang was unsteady on his feet and seemed quite uneasy.

Knowing his worries, he couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Having cultivated your character and heart for thirty years, how could you possibly be so unable to guard your heart?"
