The four realms of Taoism are White Jade Capital, Golden Palace, Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden and Great Light Palace.
Baiyujing refers to the physical body, Huangjinque refers to the spiritual consciousness, Qibaoxuanyuan refers to the soul, and Daguangming Palace refers to the origin.
These four meanings imply the process of ascending to heaven, that is, the body, consciousness, soul and origin must be all perfect, only then can one achieve the perfect "ascension to heaven".
In this way, in fact, most immortals have not reached the perfect state, so they cannot ascend to heaven in broad daylight and can only stay in the human world and practice hard.
No one knows who built the secret realm named Baiyujing, but we only know that it has an extremely long history and is a holy place for sword practitioners to practice.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu went in once, and not only did their sword skills improve by leaps and bounds, they also received the complete version of "Shushan Jianmen Authentic Qi Refining Technique" from their predecessors. It can be said that they gained a lot.
What is the most precious resource in the world of cultivation? The inheritance of skills!
For the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church to control the Baiyujing Secret Realm is equivalent to having an additional resource production base that can continuously produce martial arts inheritance and help train disciples. Needless to say, there are various subsequent benefits.
But sword skills are just basic fighting skills.
If given a choice, everyone would naturally prefer Taoism, or even the art of breathing and refining qi. After all, the latter is the basis for determining the level of cultivation.
Based on this purpose, the three sects naturally turned their attention to the Golden Palace behind Baiyujing. The so-called Baiyujing Competition was also to determine the twelve winners, thereby triggering a certain mechanism in the Baiyujing Secret Realm to further locate the existence of the Golden Palace behind it.
"The Yujing Mountain is far away, and the jade-like tower shines with flying beams. Look up to see the Golden Palace, and look down to see the white jade bed." It implies that if you look up from the "top of Yujing", you can catch a glimpse of the existence of the "Golden Palace".
With the combined efforts of the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Religion, it wouldn't take long to find clues...but Wei Dongliu had never imagined that it would come so quickly.
"Is it fast? Not fast anymore." Kunlun Mirror reminded him, "In the Baiyujing competition in the past, you were still at the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"And now you have been promoted to the Golden Core Realm Root Seeking Stage. You have climbed a major realm and a minor realm. How can you say it's fast?"
"What do you know? Ah Jing, that's because I've made great progress in my cultivation, okay?" Wei Dongliu said dissatisfiedly, "I calculated with my fingers, and it's less than a hundred years! The Baiyujing Competition was actually just a short time ago."
"There's something wrong with your concept of time." Kunlun Mirror complained.
On the other side, Jiang Li'an and Wen Yang returned together. The two of them actually walked arm in arm, enjoying the spring flowers and autumn moon, laughing and talking, which suddenly made Wei Dongliu feel like a lily in bloom.
"Husband, I'll tell you a secret. There will be a big change in the world of cultivation." Jiang Li winked at him secretly and said meaningfully, "Maybe the mortal world will be involved as well?"
"The whereabouts of the Golden Palace Secret Realm has been found, right?" Wei Dongliu said calmly.
"Hey, how did you know that?" Wen Yang asked curiously.
Wei Dongliu did not answer, but looked calmly at the White Bone Master above.
The two of them immediately understood. Wen Yang said seriously:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, this matter is extremely serious. Before the Six Paths speak out publicly, please do not easily leak it to others, lest those people from the Three Pure Ones know about it in advance."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Wei Dongliu replied in a deep voice.
"You still don't trust my husband's ability?" Jiang Li teased her secretly, "He is now the leader of a sect, and knows more secrets than you. If he didn't have any scheming, how could he win the appreciation of the Blood Sea Patriarch and manage the Mortal Life Path to this point?"
"Well, I am a bit abrupt." Wen Yang smiled, "That's right. With Fellow Daoist Wei's ability, I don't think I need to say too much."
Wei Dongliu didn't care. No matter what, being admired and praised by a beautiful woman always made people happy.
It’s just that this Wen Yang... Wei Dongliu had always treated him as a man, but now seeing him suddenly return to his female nature, and still such a delicate and lovely beauty, he still had a subtle sense of discomfort.
Well, but to be honest, she would be uncomfortable with us, right? The two Taoist friends who were familiar with each other suddenly became Taoist partners without saying anything.
"In any case, Fellow Daoist Wen has made great progress this time." Jiang Li'an said with a smile, "As long as you hold on to Venerable White Bone, the entire Yin Gui Dao will be in your pocket in the future, and you can take whatever you want, right?"
"If you talk about this, then I can't compare to Brother Daoist Jiang." Wen Yang also laughed, "Hold Brother Daoist Wei tightly, the mortal path is already in your hands, right?"
At this point, she suddenly said "oh" again, and then corrected herself seriously:
"No, it's not hugging, it should be clamping..."
This Wen Yang had even changed from a man to a woman, and he was even more unscrupulous when it came to making dirty jokes, which made Wei Dongliu a little overwhelmed. He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything and turned a deaf ear to it.
"In that case, do you want to marry me and become my sister?" Jiang Li'an teased her deliberately, "The direct disciple of Venerable Bai Gu and the concubine of Master Wei, wouldn't it be more powerful if I could be in charge of two sects at the same time?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wen Yang glanced at Wei Dongliu and pretended to hit Jiang Li'an on the face, "This master...this girl is innocent. If there are any bad rumors in the future, it must be you, Witch Jiang, gossiping behind my back!"
The two of them were playing and joking, and their relationship seemed to have completely dried up. It was even better than before.
Wei Dongliu watched silently by the side without saying a word, just tasting the wine by himself.
After the disciple-recruiting banquet was over, the couple said goodbye and left.
After returning to Zhongtai Peak in Mount Wutai, Wei Dongliu informed the Blood Sea Ancestor of the White Bone Master's hint.
"I see." The Blood Sea Ancestor nodded, "This Xihua Mountain, if I remember correctly, should refer to a snow-capped peak in the southwest of the Tubo Plateau."
"The Golden Palace Secret Realm is on the plateau?" Wei Dongliu pondered, "That is the territory of Kunlun and Shura Dao..."
"We need to cooperate with Shura Dao." The Blood Sea Patriarch said calmly, "King Ajatasatru and I have some friendship in the past, plus the Golden Palace Secret Realm is famous, he should be willing to sell this face."
"But it's not far from Shushan either." Wei Dongliu frowned and said, "If Kunlun is to the south and Shushan is to the west, with defense lines set up on both sides, it will be very difficult for us to get our hands on the Golden Palace."
"That's why we can't let the Three Pure Ones detect our intentions." The Blood Sea Patriarch finally said, "I have my own ideas on this matter, you don't have to worry about it... Just manage the sect well and let them practice well, waiting for great use."
"Also, we need to interact more with Wen Yang on the Yin Gui Dao side. She is the direct disciple of Venerable White Bone, and we need to learn more about the Golden Palace from her."
"Junior understands." Wei Dongliu nodded and thought to himself:
Why do I need to get information from the Yin Gui Dao? Can't I just go to Kunlun or Shushan and ask?
