Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

Yunlai Temple is not far from Chongyang Palace; it takes only two hours to reach by high-speed rail.

So.

At 10 a.m., five Taoist priests, Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Yuxuan, Yun Qingsong, Shen Yixuan, and Li Zhixiu, arrived at the Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area early.

"Goodbye, Taoist Master. We'll head over to the scenic area first, and then visit you at Yunlai Temple this afternoon..."

I watched as the tourists I had met on the high-speed train left.

Yun Qingsong exclaimed, "It seems our Yunlai Temple is finally making something of itself, as someone actually came all the way here to see us."

Holding a whisk, Shen Yixuan said with poise and grace, "We should thank the girl who helped promote your business."

Yun Qingsong nodded and said, "The video that girl filmed was really good; we should thank her properly."

Li Zhixiu calmly said, "It's nothing but fleeting smoke."

I didn't pay much attention to it.

The five of them walked together toward the mountain where Yunlai Temple was located.

The mountain road winds along, remaining quiet and peaceful, with no outsiders or tourists in sight.

Also normal.

It's not peak tourist season now, and it's nice to have some peace and quiet. Taoist sites generally don't like crowds.

Therefore, most Taoist temples and Taoist priests are very poor. Many people who cultivate Taoism eventually have to return to the world and work in factories.

of course.

This is also related to the fact that Taoism does not value money.

With national and local support, as long as we can survive and ensure the continuation of our heritage, that's enough. Why bother with money? It's better to cultivate our character and live a carefree life.

"Junior Brother Qingsong."

On the mountain path, Shen Yixuan took a deep breath, a strange look appearing in his eyes as he looked around. He slowly said, "The mountain here seems a bit unusual."

Is there?

It seems so.

Yun Qingsong felt relaxed and at ease. His eyelids, which had been dozing off due to the Daoist energy, were now open. He was very alert and energetic.

"The air here feels different."

Zhang Yuxuan also sensed something was amiss and said thoughtfully, "It has the feel of a blessed land with spiritual energy."

Zhang Jing smiled but remained silent.

Li Zhixiu simply stood still and took a few breaths before continuing to walk, his body and mind inexplicably trembling.

"Ha ha."

Yun Qingsong laughed loudly, "Of course, my mountain is located at the foot of the Yunwu Mountain dragon vein, so the spiritual energy here is naturally excellent."

"Keep a low profile, stay calm, and don't make a fuss."

"Keep going."

The five people fell silent.

Only Zhang Jing's smile was even more enigmatic; she walked forward with light steps, her feet barely touching the ground.

This is something he cannot control.

Because of his profound cultivation, he could clearly feel all the cells in his body cheering and leaping, which made him feel as if he were floating.

This feeling of boundless joy and excitement became clearer and stronger as they climbed the mountain and got closer to Yunlai Temple.

Without realizing it.

Without warning, Zhang Jing suddenly floated up completely, disappearing swiftly like a ghost amidst the stunned gazes of the four people.

"Damn, hiss."

"My goodness!"

"What is Senior Brother doing? Is he about to ascend to immortality?"

Yun Qingsong snapped out of his daze and, without a word, took off after him.

Zhang Yuxuan quickly followed.

Li Zhixiu also lost his composure, his eyes red, grinding his teeth as he strode forward.

Shen Yixuan flicked his whisk, snorted coldly, and quickly followed.

"Old man, you've been hiding it well..."

The four chased after him, cursing under their breath, extremely angry.

When we arrived at the top of the mountain, in front of the gate of Yunlai Temple.

In sight.

Zhang Jing was standing in front of the gate, looking up at the sky above the Taoist temple, her expression dazed, her mouth agape but no words spoken.

"Hoo, ha."

Zhang Yuxuan gasped, "Senior brother, what are you looking at?"

Yun Qingsong calmed his breathing, then looked up at the sky above the Taoist temple, puzzled, and said, "There's nothing there."

Seeing this, Li Zhixiu frowned slightly and looked up at the sky above the Taoist temple. He gathered his inner energy and focused his eyes, and vaguely saw some things, but he could not see what they were. It was as if he was looking through a thin veil, and he felt very itchy.

Shen Yixuan also looked up at the sky above the Taoist temple, but found nothing.

"Senior brother, say something!"

Zhang Yuxuan got anxious and nudged his senior brother.

"Um?"

Zhang Jing snapped out of her daze and took a deep breath, asking, "What?"

Yun Qingsong said irritably, "Senior brother, what are you staring at above my Taoist temple for?"

Zhang Jing exclaimed, "Observing the aura, Junior Brother, the aura in your Taoist temple is quite extraordinary."

"You can't see it, but you'll feel it once you're inside the Taoist temple. Let's go in and take a look."

Having said that, he took the lead and moved forward.

Zhang Yuxuan and his three companions followed without saying a word.

Yunlai Temple is actually not very big. After entering the main gate, there is a courtyard and the main hall, and further back there are two back courtyards for Taoist disciples and experience classes.

The facilities inside the temple are quite ordinary, with nothing particularly noteworthy, at least not as profound as those of Longhu Palace, Shangqing Palace, and Chongyang Palace.

But this ordinary Taoist temple felt like entering another world once you stepped inside.

Zhang Yuxuan, Yun Qingsong, Shen Yixuan, and Li Zhixiu were all shaken, feeling an inexplicable and vast aura surging towards them, engulfing their bodies and minds.

Subconsciously.

The four of them looked up and could vaguely see the rich aura gathering above the Taoist temple.

The most outrageous one was Zhang Jingchu.

yard.

Zhang Jingchu, dressed in a Taoist robe, simply sat cross-legged, floating a meter off the ground, and began to cultivate with his eyes closed, which was quite miraculous.

Even more miraculously, while meditating, wisps of golden light swirled around the fingertips of his fingers as he made hand seals.

Amidst the swirling golden light, a fleeting glimmer of light appeared, followed by a crackling sound.

See here.

Yun Qingsong came to his senses and started looking around.

Zhang Yuxuan also came to her senses and started looking around.

Li Zhixiu came to his senses and started looking around.

Shen Yixuan snapped out of her daze and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Yun Qingsong: "Where's the iron shovel? I remember there was an iron shovel behind the door. Junior sister, please help us find it quickly."

Zhang Yuxuan nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Brother looks like he's possessed by a ghost. We need an iron shovel to get rid of him."

Li Zhixiu agreed, saying, "This ghost can even possess a Celestial Master, so it must be very powerful. We must not be careless."

Upon hearing this...

Shen Yixuan was speechless.

Also speechless was Zhou Yuqian, who stood dumbfounded at the entrance to the backyard, wearing a Taoist robe and holding an iron shovel.

immortal.

There really are gods, living gods.

Zhou Yuqian's mind was buzzing, completely blank.

"Hey kid, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Give me the shovel quickly."

After a long while, Zhou Yuqian finally came to his senses and looked at the Taoist priest who was picking at the shovel in his hand. He subconsciously let go of the shovel.

Get the shovel.

Yun Qingsong grinned maliciously, "Senior brother, I've come to save you."

With that, he raised the shovel and charged forward.

then.

Snapped!

A flash of lightning, and the shovel was struck and fell to the ground.

Yun Qingsong's hands trembled, utterly despondent. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's over. I was a step too slow. That old bastard really mastered the Thunder Technique."

"Master, open your eyes and take a look!"

"That old man is inhuman! Waaah, he's bullying us so much!"

Yun Qingsong broke down again, sitting on the ground and crying out.

Zhang Yuxuan also broke down in his guard, and cried out in a pitiful voice, "Ancestor, please, please subdue this monster!"

With a complex expression, Li Zhixiu sat shakily on the steps, muttering, "Fifty years of cultivation, can anyone tell me what I've been cultivating..."

"What are my fifty years of cultivation...?"

"Am I lucky to have lived a long life..."

Such a scene of breaking through defenses.

Shen Yixuan saw all this, and her feelings were complex and difficult to describe.

Thunder Magic.

That's a thunder magic.

Although the lightning bolt was weak, it shattered her mind and body, and all her understanding, like a thunderbolt.

So, cultivating immortality really does exist...

It has always been there...

In this silence, they cried out.

Hearing the commotion, Yun Qing, Yun Zhi, and Yun Le rushed over and saw the figure floating and sitting in the courtyard of the main hall, surrounded by golden light, with lightning swirling around his fingertips and purple mist rising from his head.

Silly.

The three of them were also dumbfounded, incredulous.

Zhou Yuqian could no longer stand. He leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground, his eyes burning with intense passion and his breathing rapid and labored.

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, oh Grandmaster..."

Yun Qingsong and Zhang Yuxuan's cries grew louder and louder, waking everyone up.

Only Zhang Jing continued her cultivation, single-mindedly focused.

Yun Qing, Yun Zhi, and Yun Le came to their senses, took a deep breath, and quickly and carefully stepped forward to help them up.

"Go away, don't help him up."

Yun Qingsong cried and sobbed, "Come, come, you all cry with your master. Today we must get an explanation from the patriarch, or we will not get up."

Yun Qing took several deep breaths and said with a wry smile, "Master, why did you make the Ancestral Master cry?"

Yun Qingsong coughed and said, "You don't understand. Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I've already made the Ancestral Master cry twice. If you don't believe me, ask your Uncle Xuanyu. I cried with him."

Zhang Yuxuan cried out, completely disregarding her image.

Yun Qing, Yun Zhi, and Yun Le felt ashamed and embarrassed. After trying it, they found that their crying was even worse than their laughing. They couldn't cry at all and couldn't bring themselves to do it.

"Useless thing, get out of here, you still need to rely on your teacher."

Yun Qingsong shook his head, then cried out loudly, "Grandmaster, please open your eyes! Please take a look! If you don't come out, I can't live anymore! I really can't go on living! I'm suffering so much..."

The crying and fussing reached the backyard.

yard.

Song Yu, Xu Manzhu, Yun Su, Bai Moli, Meng Hui, and Qin Jingshu were all present.

Yun Su, who was explaining cultivation knowledge, had to stop.

What was that sound?

Bai Moli asked curiously, "Why does it sound like someone is crying?"

Meng Hui, who had been sitting still for a while, stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

See here.

Yun Su petted the tabby cat and walked towards the front yard with Qin Jingshu.

In the blink of an eye, only the two of them remained in the courtyard, continuing to drink tea.

Xu Manzhu, carrying the Weaver Girl, slowly got up and came to Song Yu. She wasn't wearing a Taoist robe, but a lace bodycon dress concealing her plump buttocks, which she sat on Song Yu's lap under the cover of an illusion.

"She's crying so loudly, and you're not even going to do anything about it."

The beautiful woman gave a slight reproach.

Song Yu casually put his arm around the woman's waist and said helplessly, "How can I not manage it?"

She's such a grown-up, and she's still crying like this. I can't just ignore her.

But we can't rush how to manage it.

He thought for a moment, then sent a telepathic message to Yun Su, and then gave up.

forecourt.

Meng Hui, Bai Moli, and Qin Jingshu, who had come out of curiosity, all saw the floating figure sitting cross-legged in the courtyard and were dumbfounded.

I came to my senses.

The three women then looked at the old Taoist priest sitting on the steps, his eyes red, wiping them, looking inexplicably aggrieved and lost.

And there was the female Taoist priest standing there, holding a whisk, with a complex expression.

And then there were the two Taoist priests kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

It's so lively!

That's quite miraculous.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost..."

Bai Moli stammered, raising her hand to pat the arm of the person next to her.

"That's a deity."

Meng Hui took a deep breath, her eyes reddening, and said, "There are immortals, there really are immortals! Now his illness can be cured."

Qin Jingshu remained noncommittal, her gaze sharp.

"Master, Uncle-Master!"

Yun Su stepped forward helplessly and said, "Don't cry, the patriarch has already told me."

Upon hearing this...

Yun Qingsong and Zhang Yuxuan immediately stopped crying and got up with smiles, crowding around.

"Okay, okay."

Yun Qingsong asked eagerly, "Tell me quickly, what did the Patriarch say?"

Zhang Yuxuan is also full of anticipation.

"The patriarch said..."

Yun Su blinked innocently and said, "He's busy right now, we'll talk about it tonight."

what?

Yun Qingsong asked regretfully, "What is the Patriarch busy with?"

Yun Su said without changing her expression, "How would I know? Anyway, the Patriarch told me to tell you tonight and not to bother him anymore."

Zhang Yuxuan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk about it tonight. You're quite the clever girl, you've actually received the Patriarch's blessing again. It seems the Patriarch has personally chosen you to be his spokesperson."

Yun Qingsong said smugly, "Don't you even know whose disciple this girl is?"

Yun Su found it quite amusing.

aside.

Li Zhixiu, his eyes red, leaned closer and looked her up and down, saying, "You actually have a true qi dantian! Girl, do you want to come with me and cultivate at my Chongyang Palace?"

Shen Yixuan also came over and smiled, "Senior Brother Li, your Chongyang Palace is not suitable for female disciples to cultivate. It would be better to go to my Shangqing Palace."

Yun Qingsong raised his hand to block him, glaring and saying, "What are you doing? This is my disciple. Go away, don't even think about taking my precious disciple away."

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse."

"What are you looking at? What's so interesting? Yunqing, arrange accommodations for our senior uncles."

"These people..."

Yun Qingsong paused, looked at the three women beside him, and fell into deep thought.

When did the temple get so many women?

"Greetings, fellow Taoist priests."

Meng Hui smiled and said, "We are students in the trial class."

Yun Qingsong looked her up and down and said, "You little girl...tsk, a young maiden's body, quite something..."

Zhang Yuxuan looked at the youthful-looking girl beside him, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Girl, you're that internet celebrity who helped Yunlai Temple film a promotional video, right? I've seen your videos."

"Not bad, not bad, very inspired..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Yixuan stepped forward, flicked his whisk to interrupt, and said, "Forget about Yun Su, I'll take these three girls into the Qing Palace."

Zhang Yuxuan bluntly said, "Junior sister, you've gone too far. I'll only let you accept one at most."

Li Zhixiu nodded, pointed to the bespectacled, aloof, and captivating woman, and said, "I want this girl at Chongyang Palace."

Yun Qingsong shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Li, you should forget about Chongyang Palace. Marriage is forbidden in Quanzhen, but these three girls have their Hongluan Palaces wide open, which means they obviously have boyfriends and are entangled in lust."

Li Zhixiu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you enter my Chongyang Palace, I can make an exception."

What about the rules?

Once he truly cultivates to a divine level, he can set the rules. At worst, he can open another Quanzhen Dao lineage that allows marriage.

The Ancient Tomb Jade Maiden faction is quite good.

In response to this...

"Why did these Taoist priests want to accept us as disciples?"

Seeing the three of them vying for it so fiercely, Qin Jingshu calmly said, "And they're so determined to get it from us, without even asking our opinion."

Upon hearing this...

Yun Qingsong smiled and said, "Because the three of you are capable of cultivation, especially you, the girl, who already possesses Daoist aura, it is inevitable that you will enter the path of cultivation in the future."

Shen Yixuan, Li Zhixiu, and Zhang Yuxuan nodded.

Yun Qing, Yun Zhi, and Yun Le were surprised.

Zhou Yuqian's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that he could also catch the Taoist priest's eye.

Yun Su once said that cultivation is very difficult.

Qin Jingshu said casually, "I was lucky enough to acquire Daoist essence, but the other two don't. How can you guarantee they can cultivate as well?"

What is Daoist Rhyme?

Meng Hui looked at the president's wife, puzzled.

Bai Moli, looking guilty, secretly took out her phone to film the Taoist priest who was floating and cultivating.

"Of course I could tell."

Zhang Yuxuan smiled and said, "The three of you are blessed with great fortune, and your spiritual energy is overflowing. Moreover, everything is predestined. The fact that you three can see your senior brother cultivating and displaying supernatural abilities here today proves that you are destined to be connected with the Daoist sect."

"And this young man also has a connection with Taoism; he is blessed with good fortune."

Zhou Yuqian was so excited that he couldn't stop smiling.

At this juncture.

Zhang Jing finished her cultivation and strode over, her gaze sweeping across the room like lightning. She chuckled and said, "Not bad, these are all good candidates for cultivation."

Shen Yixuan smiled and said, "No rush, you can think it over carefully. I will stay here and tell you about my Shangqing Palace. If you are not willing, we will not force you."

Qin Jingshu said no more and nodded in agreement.

"Master Daoist."

Meng Hui asked with concern, "Can cultivation cure cancer?"

Yun Qingsong said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just cancer. Once you can step into the cultivation world, no terminal illness is a problem."

Zhang Jing shook her head and said, "It's not that easy, but it's not that difficult either. The key lies in whether your own cultivation is up to par."

Zhang Yuxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Girl, you don't seem to be sick."

Meng Hui said seriously, "He's my boyfriend, and he's already in the late stages of his illness."

Li Zhixiu frowned and said, "Late stage... I'm afraid even cultivation can't save him..."

Shen Yixuan smiled and said, "Girl, my Shangqing Palace is most skilled in healing arts. Even in the late stages, it's fine. As long as you can cultivate, you can still be brought back to life."

Meng Hui replied without hesitation, "Then I will join the Shangqing Palace."

Li Zhixiu coughed and said, "Girl, I take back what I just said. I, the Master of Quanzhen Dao, cultivate both body and life, and I have many methods. If your boyfriend is unable to cultivate, I can heal him."

Meng Hui hesitated and asked, "Can I join both Shangqing and Quanzhen?"

Yun Qingsong sighed, "That won't do. Don't listen to their nonsense. Late-stage diseases are not so easy to cure."

Zhang Yuxuan smiled and said, "Girl, this is my senior brother. You saw how he was cultivating just now. He's a Celestial Master of the Dragon Tiger Palace, so curing your boyfriend is a piece of cake for him."

Zhang Jing was being pulled aside by her junior brother to demonstrate, and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? My cultivation level is so low, how could I possibly cure a late-stage healer? It might be more like an early-stage healer."

"However, slowing down the progression of the disease should be a given."

What else is there to say?

Meng Hui's eyes lit up as she said, "Then I'll join the Dragon Tiger Palace."

Shen Yixuan couldn't stand it any longer and stopped her, saying, "Don't rush, girl. The ancestral master will appear tonight. Let's talk about it after tonight."

Li Zhixiu nodded and said, "The ancestral master has shown his power. After tonight, I will certainly be no worse than you, the Celestial Master."

Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. The one who manifested tonight was the founder of my Zhengyi sect."

Li Zhixiu said without any politeness, "I will arrange for someone to enshrine Zhang Zu and have him sit with me, the Quanzhen Patriarch Chongyang, and Patriarch Lü."

They're all Taoist, why make such a distinction?

Regardless of which school's founder it is, as long as it can manifest its power, it is one of the founders of the Quanzhen School of Taoism.

"Pah, you have no shame at all."

Yun Qingsong looked down on it.

Li Zhixiu remained expressionless, already using his phone to contact his disciples and get things done.

My boyfriend is in the backyard right now.

Meng Hui couldn't help but ask, "Celestial Master, fellow Taoist priests, could you please go and help take a look now?"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Let's go."

With his lightning magic mastered and his cultivation greatly increased, it's time to show off a bit.

It's good that this boyfriend is here.

Immediately, everyone went to the backyard.

Then in the courtyard.

With a sigh, Song Yu slapped the beautiful woman in his arms on her shapely legs, which were exposed by the skirt slipping down, causing the woman to playfully scold him.

I still couldn't escape it.

Well, I should at least meet him.

I wonder how much Zhang Jingchu, with his cultivation as a Celestial Master, will be able to discern after seeing me...

He has done everything he can to conceal it.

Hopefully, nothing will be detected, allowing him to continue to have peace and quiet...
