From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 632 Sexual Techniques

There are five cultivation schools that are widely practiced in the Realm of Ultimate Truth: External Alchemy, Internal Observation, Comprehending Formation, Sword Immortal, and Weaponry.

Compared to internal alchemy, external alchemy mainly involves collecting various rare and precious herbs and natural treasures to refine into pills. It focuses solely on seeking externally. The Four Seasons Sect among the Nine Sects is proficient in this technique.

The method of inner vision involves using extreme mental power to clearly visualize deities, the various palaces within the body, the sun, moon, stars, famous mountains and rivers, and fairylands in one's mind. By visualizing, invoking, and nurturing the deities within the body, one can obtain supreme magical power. It is known as the "Eight Scenes and Twenty-Four Truths". It is said that the disciples of the Xuanhuang Hall and Tianji Hall among the Nine Sects practice this method.

The Rongcheng Technique, also known as the Bedchamber Technique, has the lowest requirements for physical constitution and is a shortcut. It is also known as dual cultivation. Luo Wuji, who died at the hands of Li Yang, practiced this method.

Li Yang had heard Bai Yingluo say that many years ago, there was a sect called the Demonic Beauty Sect in the Realm of Ultimate Truth. Its power was once able to rival that of the Xuanhuang Palace. However, due to the misconduct of its disciples, it eventually attracted the attacks of other sects. The Demonic Beauty Fan that Luo Wuji had before was a magic weapon of this sect.

Although the Demon Sect was wiped out, the centipede did not die easily. A thousand years ago, some of the remaining disciples of the Demon Sect established the Demon Pavilion, which is now also one of the nine sects.

As for the remaining sword immortal techniques and weapon techniques, as the names suggest, they involve condensing a magical artifact that is inseparable from one's life, where one prospers and the other suffers together, which is somewhat similar to the sword control techniques that Li Yang cultivates.

"External alchemy requires a great deal of nourishment, the art of incorporation is a minor path, and swordsmanship and weaponry require decisive killing. In that case, I will choose a visualization technique for you."

Although the royal family of the Great Li Dynasty could not cultivate, the Bai family was never idle. Over the centuries, they had collected many cultivation techniques from the nation's reserves.

These cultivation methods are not advanced; most belong to minor sects. Bai Yingluo had previously shown Li Yang all the cultivation manuals in the national treasury, which is how Li Yang came to understand the main cultivation schools in the Ultimate Realm.

The "Sun and Seal Mind Method" comes from a sect that offended a master and was wiped out hundreds of years ago. It was discovered by the royal family of Dali when they went to clean up the ruins. It is not precious. According to the method on it, one can only cultivate to the seed of the Dao at most. It is very appropriate to pass it on to Li Qing.

Li Qing was unaware of the difference; to her, as long as it was a celestial being imparting teachings, it was excellent.

Transmitting the Dharma was not difficult. With Li Yang's current level of cultivation, he could easily understand the profound meaning of the methods of these realms with a simple glance. With just a light touch of his finger on Li Qing's brow, Li Qing felt many symbols drilling into his head. Although it was uncomfortable, he dared not move, for fear of interrupting the immortal's transmission of the Dharma.

In just half a minute, Li Yang had finished transmitting the teachings and withdrew his right hand to return to the cross-legged sitting posture.

"This Dharma is a treasure of the Great Li Dynasty. It was Bai Yingluo and I who viewed it. The karma of your cultivation of this Dharma is not on me. I am just a Dharma transmitter. In the future, no matter what or what the situation, you must never mention my name."

Li Yang's expression was serious, and he was very cautious.

Seeing the severity of Li Yang's words, Li Qing knew the gravity of the situation and immediately nodded solemnly, bowing his head in reverence.

"Alright, you may go and familiarize yourself with this method."

After saying this, Li Yang immediately closed his eyes and sat down to meditate, no longer paying attention to Li Qing.

Li Qing stood up, his head still throbbing, and his steps were unsteady. Instead of meditating as Li Yang had suggested, he seemed to remember something. He carefully swept up the stone dust from the ground, then picked up a cloth bag and broom and went outside.

Li Yang closed his eyes, sensing Li Qing's whereabouts, and smiled gently.

For Li Yang, casually passing on a cultivation method to Li Qing was just a trivial incident. In Li Yang's view, it was also a way of repaying the karmic debt that Er Niu had pulled him out of the river when he first arrived in the Realm of Ultimate Truth.

For him, every second counts now, and time is running out.

As evening approached, Li Yang was finishing his cycle of celestial and lunar cycles when he heard a knocking sound at the door.
As soon as Li Qing opened the door, Bai Yingluo pushed it open and entered with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Is there any new development from the Nine Sects?" Looking at Bai Yingluo, whose forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, Li Yang sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard and asked.

"Nine sects are alright, but holy envoys from neighboring countries have been arriving one after another, urging the collection of boys and girls from various countries."

"I've come here for another matter!"

Bai Yingluo didn't have time to wipe the sweat from her face. She walked straight to Li Yang's side and whispered,

"According to our inside report, three days ago, that sorcerer Zhang Hengming disappeared from the Taoist temple outside the city, and no one knows his whereabouts to this day!!"

Bai Yingluo looked extremely nervous. At this critical moment, any slight movement would trigger her nerves.

Zhang Hengming, as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Li Dynasty for ten years, had caused Bai Yingluo considerable psychological trauma, so he was always paying attention to the situation of this evil Taoist.

Li Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know, that's why I came to find you, to warn you to be careful."

"He previously amassed ten years' worth of spiritual stones from the entire Great Li Dynasty, but because of your sudden appearance, all his hard work has been reduced to ashes. This kind of despicable person will not let this go!"

Bai Yingluo came and went in a hurry. Zhang Hengming's sudden disappearance made her uneasy. After informing Li Yang, she continued to investigate Zhang Hengming's whereabouts.

In the courtyard, Li Yang also frowned slightly, but after thinking it over, all he could do was wait and see, hoping that the Grand Preceptor of Dali was going to find another way out and wouldn't make things difficult for him.

For the next month, the Grand Preceptor, whose disciples were all over Dali, seemed to have truly given up and disappeared, never to be seen again. Even his Taoist temple outside the city was in turmoil, with rumors circulating that some disciples had already fled.

After a month of worry and anxiety, Bai Yingluo's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and she shifted her focus.

Because at this moment she faced an even more difficult task, one she didn't want to do, but had no choice but to do.

The Great Li Dynasty is about to begin collecting one million pairs of boys and girls from the populace.

Even if this number were spread across the 236 counties of the ten provinces of Dali, it would still be extremely terrifying. Moreover, as parents, who would be willing to offer their own children as sacrifices to the Nine Ancestors?
Disobeying imperial orders, rebelling, and even organizing armies to fight against the court, the entire Dali Dynasty was plunged into war in an instant.

Bai Yingluo was in a terrible predicament. Tens of thousands of elite troops from the Chongxuan Army were transferred back to the interior from the border and assigned to ten prefectures and two hundred and thirty-six counties to suppress the rebels. For a time, the entire Dali territory was filled with mountains of heads and rivers of blood.

Or rather, at this moment, all mortals in the entire Realm of Ultimate Truth are experiencing such a catastrophe.

Large numbers of children were transported into Jianruo City in iron cages. Their round, clear eyes stared curiously at the magnificent Jianruo Royal City, a source of pride for countless people of Dali.

Li Yang stood inconspicuous among the crowds on both sides of the long street, remaining silent for a long time, like a statue.

He packed up his fortune-telling stall early and then spent several days sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, not venturing out at all.
