Chapter 470 The Road to Heaven Approaches, the Spiritual Mind is Clear (Part 2)

In the void, demonic intent flickered.

As the purple clouds traversed the cold universe, Su Che could sense the changes in the turbid ions around him.

Compared to the Xuanmen prodigy who had not yet achieved immortality when they first met, Yu Lizi now possesses many other qualities, such as demonic influence.

Facing the power of the Lord of the End of Dharma with the presence of an immortal, even someone like Yu Lizi could not guarantee that he would be completely unharmed, and naturally he was still affected to some extent.

It's just unknown whether Huang Tiandao or he himself has any other mysterious methods to remove the influence.

After all, the source of this demonic contamination was the mighty and fearless Heavenly Demon King, whose very existence had been eradicated by the combined forces of the Yellow Heavenly Dao Sect. Of course, when Yu Lizi was guarding the Yellow Heavenly Dao Sect, he also fought against many Heavenly Demons, and perhaps he was infected back then.

Su Che rarely saw the methods of the Demonic Sect while traveling in the Central Plains. The only people who could be said to be using the Demonic Sect's methods were his own family members.

The little fox possesses a soul-splitting technique originating from the Demonic Sect, while Yu Qiang seems to be following the Demonic Sect's path.

Now that Yu Lizi is deeply entangled in this predicament, even though Su Che's cultivation level is low, he can't help but feel a little distressed for his mentor.

Falling into depravity is easy; transcending it is difficult. This applies to spiritual practice, and to all things in the world.

However, as Huang Tiandao's chief disciple, Yu Lizi should be safe.

Otherwise, that earth immortal, who had stood tall for countless ages like Zhongyuan, wouldn't have just watched his disciple fall into the demonic path.

Not far away, Huang Tiandao's sect was already towering in sight.

It was a magnificent palace complex stretching endlessly, with halls and pavilions connected to each other. It floated in the void amidst auspicious clouds. Judging by its size alone, Su Che could not calculate the area of ​​such a palace complex with the naked eye. However, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be that the ancient Heavenly Court did not perish, but was instead pushed into this outer void by Huang Tiandao?
Within this majestic palace, Su Che could see seemingly endless immortals in the distance. There were immortal masters dressed in Taoist robes, holding whisks and walking slowly, and Yellow Turban Warriors wearing armor, yellow turbans on their heads, and ribbons fluttering around their bodies. There were also celestial birds and auspicious beasts dancing gracefully within the palace.

Su Che felt that he was not standing in front of the mountain gate of a major Xuanmen sect, but rather in front of the South Heavenly Gate, with the Lingxiao Palace in front of him.

Yu Lizi rode the purple clouds forward and soon arrived at a magnificent archway. On both sides of the archway stood more than a hundred Yellow Turban warriors in armor, holding various magical weapons, their eyes slightly closed, firmly standing in front of the archway.

The archway is made of white jade and lacquered, with the four large characters "Supreme Limitless" written on it, all in the style of authentic Taoist texts, and surrounded by a continuous, meandering aura of spiritual light.

A high-ranking Taoist priest dressed in feathered robes, with white hair and beard, holding a whisk, stood in front of the archway, bowing respectfully to Ziyun.

"This disciple pays respects to Instructor Wei."

Su Che couldn't tell the level of this Xuanmen Taoist's cultivation, but it was definitely higher than his own. Since Huang Tiandao had sent him to guard the gate, his cultivation must be quite strong. He just didn't know if he was a Bu Xu or a Chang Sheng.

Yu Lizi dispersed the purple clouds and nodded slightly to him.

Is it your shift today?

"My master told me to come here to welcome my grandmaster uncle. This must be Grandmaster Uncle Su."

The white-haired Taoist bowed to Su Che and said, "Disciple Jiang Shoucheng greets Martial Uncle."

Su Che stood on a soft, auspicious cloud, but everything before him seemed unreal.

Because he felt that apart from the power of the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual, all his other methods were suppressed by the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Method, as if he were wearing shackles here, and had no way to use them.

This might be Huang Tiandao's method. Hearing Jiang Shoucheng's greeting, Su Che suddenly remembered that Yu Lizi was Huang Tiandao's head disciple.

The founder of Huangtiandao was an ancient earth immortal who established Huangtiandao, and if I were to count in that way, I would be the third-generation disciple of Huangtiandao.

Huang Tiandao is a great sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't my seniority be doubled?
"Master Taoist, you're welcome."

Su Che was at a loss for words. Calling him "Junior Nephew" directly would be a bit presumptuous, but if he were too humble, where would he put Yu Lizi? "Uncle-Master, just call me Shoucheng."

Jiang Shoucheng said with a smile, "The Ancestral Master is currently explaining the wonders of the Three Flowers on the Top in the Xuan Yuan Pavilion. If Uncle Su wants to join the sect, he should first pay his respects to the Ancestral Master."

Yu Lizi nodded in agreement and led Su Che inside.

This majestic palace of the Yellow Heaven seems to contain its own laws and regulations, so much so that even a long-lived immortal like Yu Lizi can only walk slowly.

He walked slowly along the way, telling Su Che about the situation inside the Yellow Heaven Path.

"Our sect was founded by your grandmaster in ancient times. There are six instructors within the sect, all of whom are immortal beings who oversee all matters within the sect. All disciples within the sect, regardless of their cultivation level, are led by their instructors. The other Earth Immortals, Tribulation Immortals, and True Persons are all elders who do not handle specific affairs. There are seven major rules and thirty-six minor rules in total, but these are all formalities and you don't need to worry about them too much."

Su Che nodded repeatedly.

Huang Tiandao was the founding patriarch of the sect, an ancient earth immortal who had lived for tens of thousands of years. It was only natural that he was the head of the sect. However, the arrangement of those below him was what Su Che found interesting.

Below the Daoist Master are six Instructors, but all Instructors are Longevity True Persons. This means that the other Earth Immortals, Tribulation Immortals, and Longevity True Persons within the sect do not participate in the sect's management.

On the one hand, it can be described as freedom; on the other hand, it can be described as a lack of rights.

However, considering that Yu Lizi had just attained immortality and was immediately added to the ranks of instructors, Su Che estimated that the position of instructor might not be as sought after as he had imagined.

The two characters "教御" are "教" and "御".

Let's start with the word "teach".

Although the instructors are all immortal beings, their cultivation level is not considered high within the Yellow Heaven Path. After all, there are first-rank Earth Immortals and second-rank Tribulation Immortals above them. In such positions, they still have to divide their attention to managing the disciples within the sect.

Even though each disciple has their own teacher, the task of managing and educating them is probably very arduous.

And that character "御" (Yu).

Yu means to command, to defend.

Huang Tiandao's dojo is located in the outer void, surrounded by countless heavenly demons. Under such circumstances, the disciples will probably have to devote a lot of energy to resisting the heavenly demons.

With both factors combined, the sheer scale and complexity of the task is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Su Che looked at Yu Lizi's thin back and realized that his master must have had a tough time too.

The two walked slowly, and along the way, they saw celestial palaces everywhere, with railings made of celestial stones and roofs of crimson gold, rainbows spreading across the jade palaces, and dragons crouching on golden platforms. Jade pearls were hidden among the green trees, and celestial birds roamed by the colorful pools.

Celestial Masters and Yellow Turban Warriors can be seen everywhere, each wielding magical weapons and armor, majestic and solemn, as imposing as a mountain.

"Within the sect, there are many immortals and powerful warriors, all created with supernatural powers. Although they are similar to puppets, they possess a unique intelligence. Once you are registered in the sect, you will be able to command them."

Su Che nodded, looking at the immortal masters around him. He wondered how many of them were disciples of Huang Tiandao and how many were puppets created by powerful figures of Huang Tiandao using their magic.

Yu Lizi led Su Che slowly forward, and finally they saw a huge palace in front of them, about seven stories high. On each floor, there were bluebirds hovering. These spirit birds were surrounded by the spiritual energy of Yi wood, and the green light made them look like immortals.

This must be the Xuan Yuan Pavilion that Jiang Shoucheng mentioned.

Above the palace, colorful lights and clouds create a series of mysterious scenes in the sky, bringing a sense of peace to those who gaze upon them.

Su Che listened intently and could faintly hear the profound meaning of morality flowing like a stream, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

I really don't know who that Yellow Heaven Dao Ancestor, who has existed here since the ancient times, is.
