Shrouding the Sky: Creating Your Own Cultivation Technique at the Start

Chapter 42 The Overbearing Yin-Yang Cult

However, during these two weeks, he did discover Hua Yunfei's whereabouts; the other party was also wandering around the Qinling Mountains.

However, it was only a trace of the Dao, not Hua Yunfei's true body present.

For example, under an ancient pine tree, a person dressed in flowing blue robes appears ethereal and otherworldly, standing on a low hill, one with the heavens and earth.

If you don't look closely, you might really think that Hua Yunfei is right here.

Because there is a special magnetic mountain here that can record some things from the past.

Hua Yunfei's situation was clearly recorded by Cishan.

It was clear that Hua Yunfei was also a newcomer and had not gained much here.

Following the traces, Lu Zhao also began to explore the Qin Clan little by little, but this was too slow and useless in the short term.

However, it wasn't entirely useless; at least Hua Yunfei arrived a month earlier and had explored the area much more thoroughly than he had.

Following Hua Yunfei's trail, Lu Zhao discovered a Taoist temple.

A small Taoist temple, dilapidated and low, like a thatched cottage, has been abandoned for many years, with no one coming or going, cold and deserted.

In front of the Taoist temple stands an ancient pine tree, so large that many people cannot encircle it with their arms. Its branches are strong and vigorous, but its leaves are sparse, and the old tree is about to die.

There was no medicinal herb field, only a vegetable patch, but it was completely abandoned. There was also a grape trellis, the vines of which were already dry and with two or three bunches of purple grapes hanging on it.

"The Dao here is so rich." Lu Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Perhaps due to the special magnetic mountain here, the Dao principles are even more concentrated than in the outside world.

Especially after entering the Taoist temple, Lu Zhao was surprised by the strong Taoist principles.

Even before a small mound, the Dao principles there had coalesced into a single entity that has not yet dissipated, making it an ideal place for his cultivation.

Because an old Taoist priest once lived here, and the lingering Taoist aura has not completely dissipated to this day.

Lu Zhao immediately sat down cross-legged next to the small mound.

A massive amount of Dao principles surged forth, transforming into a stream of light that rushed over. Lu Zhao activated the Devouring Dao Heavenly Technique, rapidly absorbing the Dao principles present.

These principles entered his body and became a part of him.

The old Taoist priest was very powerful; he was at least a saint in his lifetime, and very likely a great saint, who eventually passed away in this Taoist temple.

Lu Zhao absorbed these Dao principles little by little, and comprehended them all.

However, even after he completely transformed into the Dao, the Dao principles still dissipated significantly.

If Lu Zhao had arrived at this place when the old Taoist had just passed away, he would have surely gained a great deal.

However, this is not bad either; it is a huge gain for him.

Lu Zhao sat cross-legged here for half a day, comprehending all the principles here.

In addition to the Dao principles he absorbed during his battle with the Golden-Winged Roc King a few days ago, his gains this time were truly immense.

By the time Lu Zhao finished devouring the Dao principles, it was already dark.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest appeared silently in the Taoist temple, walking under the withered pine trees, as if he had become one with the night.

"I occasionally come to the pine tree, and sleep soundly with my head on a stone. There is no calendar in the mountains, and I don't know how many years have passed since the cold ended..."

The old Taoist priest walked under the pine trees, chanting a poem as he did so.

This startled Lu Zhao, who thought the old Taoist priest was still alive.

However, after careful contemplation, he discovered that it was merely a mass of Dao principles, caused by the magnetic field of the magnetic mountain, which had replicated past traces.

Not only the figures, but even the old Taoist's voice was replicated.

If Lu Zhao hadn't read the original story and knew the specifics of the situation, anyone else would have thought the old Taoist was still alive.

"The land of transformation should be a sacred place in the world. If a major sect finds out about it, it will definitely occupy it immediately, set up a Heavenly Net Formation, and make it a forbidden area that outsiders cannot enter."

This place is extremely important, making Lu Zhao's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Compared to the outside world, cultivation here is far too easy. In particular, the magnetic field here occasionally reflects the old Taoist and his words, which can enlighten Lu Zhao and even allow him to comprehend more of the Dao principles.

Suddenly, Lu Zhao's expression changed slightly, because in his perception, a group of people were riding the divine rainbow and flying towards this small Taoist temple.

Soon the group landed in the small Taoist temple and appeared in front of Lu Zhao.

Upon seeing these people, Lu Zhao knew they were from the Yin-Yang Sect. He hadn't expected them to have also entered the Qinling Mountains to search for the whereabouts of the Nine Secrets.

However, judging from the details in the original work, many people from Zhongzhou did indeed enter the Qin Clan, so many people knew about the Nine Secrets within the Qin Clan.

But only a handful of people probably actually benefited.

"Boy, I've heard that the Nine Secrets are located in this Taoist temple. Did you manage to find them?" one of them said.

"What's it to you?" Lu Zhao's face darkened.

The people from the Yin Yang Sect are so annoying. They act so superior, even using a questioning tone, as if everyone else is inferior to them.

Such people are used to being superior and look down on ordinary people, even rogue cultivators.

Because in this world, there aren't many people who can threaten them.

Among those who could threaten them, this boy in front of them was definitely not one of them.

"Boy, you're courting death, how dare you talk to us like that..." One of the Yin-Yang Sect members was furious and started shouting at us without warning.

However, Lu Zhao was faster and slapped the man across the face.

Before the man could finish speaking, he was sent flying backwards and exploded in mid-air, just like a rotten watermelon.

"How dare you!" The remaining members of the Yin-Yang Sect were furious. They had never expected the person before them to be so fierce.

They showed absolutely no mercy, killing their comrade with a single stroke.

Who in Zhongzhou would dare to do such a thing? Once you take action against the Yin-Yang Cult, it means you'll be facing the entire Yin-Yang Cult.

Especially now, the Yin Yang Sect's old leader is nearing the end of his life. If the old leader goes mad, he might try to take a few people down with him before he dies. So at this point, almost no one dares to provoke the Yin Yang Sect for fear of Wang Yangzhan's wrath.

Before their deaths, they would take one or two opponents with them, which is why all the major religions remained as calm and composed as mountains.

"Kill him!" the Yin Yang Sect members shouted. They had never suffered such a loss before, so they were thoroughly enraged today.

The previous tolerance shown by the major religions has emboldened them to become increasingly arrogant.

But I never expected to suffer such a great loss here today.

These people attacked together, and the Yin-Yang Dao continued to spread, forming a huge Yin-Yang diagram that submerged the area.

These people are all quite strong, and they have all entered the Dragon Transformation Realm.

As elders of the Yin-Yang Sect, they had never encountered anything like this before. They were too domineering and always had a sense of superiority.

Lu Zhao unleashed all his power, employing a series of terrifying techniques to clash with the Yin Yang Sect elders. In the end, the two sides fought their way to the heavens in a battle that shook the very heavens and earth.
