It is not just an "external skill" to protect the body and subdue demons, it also has internal cultivation methods.

Practicing this mantra on a daily basis is actually cultivating oneself and increasing one's cultivation and attainment.

So what Zhou Qing said about not having used the Golden Light Mantra before was not really the case.

He used this magic spell in his daily practice, for example, when he was subduing the devil or forcibly accepting gifts from the Yuanqi Demon, golden light was serving him.

Zhou Qing has many methods, many of which he has used during his daily practice, but he has never elaborated on them.

Like the swallowing method that comes with secret martial arts, he would also use this method when eating meals and spiritual plants on a daily basis, but he didn't go into details.

After all, it would be too cumbersome to list every detail of what methods were used in daily practice and what was experienced.

"Fifteen years ago, the ghost elder of the Impermanence Hall..." Zhou Qing thought of Lu Qingmo again.

Only at this moment did he realize that he actually didn't know much about Lu Qingmo's past.

It seems that the reason she came to Heiyun Town was not just for Bai Ruoyue.

There are Bai Ruoyue’s reasons, but there are also her own reasons.

It sounds like Lu Qingmo had some accident fifteen years ago, which made it difficult for him to make progress in his cultivation.

"Wait for Aunt Mo to come back and ask her." Zhou Qing decided secretly.

As time passed, Zhou Qing absorbed and refined the pure soul energy and the power of the moon.

Later on, Zhou Qing stopped thinking about it and focused on practicing.

“Click!”

There seemed to be a sound of something breaking, and the edge of Zhou Qing's soul could be seen. The moonlight representing the Night Wandering Realm had dimmed and disappeared.

After the moon disappears, the sun rises! Zhou Qing's eyes light up slightly.

Night Wandering Realm Complete! Starting from the Out-of-Body Realm, the edge of the soul will produce light corresponding to various powers, which is called the light of the realm.

This light changes from dim when one first enters this realm to brighter as one's cultivation gradually improves.

When one realm is complete, the light of that realm will disappear to make room for the light of the next realm.

After more than two months of hard training, with constant daily resources and the blessing of many opportunities, Zhou Qing finally broke through to the perfection of the Night Wandering Realm today after refining the pure soul energy.

Zhou Qing was able to cultivate to this level so quickly, and the Moon Goddess Mark should be credited with the greatest achievement.

The mark of the Moon Goddess is so unstoppable in the Night Travel Realm where the moonlight needs to be refined, and its effect is better than any soul plant.

And the next step is the first big threshold of the soul, the Day Travel Realm!

Zhou Qing's mood suddenly improved. Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. The ancients were right.

After sensing that Lu Qingmo had not come back yet, he thought about it and directly attacked him with a snail.

"Hey Aunt Mo, are you still in the Ghost and God Department?"

"Yes, our subordinates went to investigate near that barren mountain and found that people in many villages had been killed by the three people from the Wuchang Hall."

Lu Qingmo's voice rang out, "Further investigation is underway."

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Don't wait for me, just take a rest first."

“All in charge…”

At this time, another female voice sounded from the other side of the snail, and then the call was hung up.

Zhou Qing looked at the snail and shook his head.

Really, beating a snail is not something shameful, so why would you be afraid of being discovered?

Zhou Qing recognized the female voice that came from Lu Qingmo's side just now. He had also seen it before.

A deputy manager of the Ghost and God Department, a master of the Day Travel Realm, she was trained by Lu Qingmo.

In the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the deputy manager was reluctant to leave after reporting the matter.

"Anything else?" Lu Qingmo raised his eyebrows slightly.

She hesitated for a moment and said:

"It's all in my hands. It's almost over. I'm watching here."

"Go back and have a rest. Don't keep your family waiting anxiously."

"If two people always have no night life, their relationship is likely to have problems."

“…”

Are you talking about something indecent?

Under the pressure of Lu Qingmo's eyes, the deputy governor could not stand the pressure and retreated.

"I never heard that Du Guan found a Taoist partner." She muttered to herself.

"It has even developed to the stage where they rest together at night. It's really secretive that they both manage things."

"I don't know what that person looks like..."

The deputy mayor was very curious about what kind of man could develop a relationship with Lu Qingmo to this point.

She couldn't imagine that Lu Qingmo, who was usually rather cold, would go to this point.

Lu Qingmo stroked his forehead gently, knowing that his subordinate must have misunderstood.

But fortunately, she is very tight-lipped and knows what to say and what not to say.

Her affairs with Zhou Qing would not be leaked...

No, it’s nothing. There was nothing going on between her and Zhou Qing.

It’s better to be open and honest.

A man of integrity has nothing to fear!

When Lu Qingmo returned, Zhou Qing was still full of energy.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more energy one has, especially for cultivators.

They are practicing Taoism.

"Did you complete your night tour?"

Lu Qingmo noticed this immediately because Zhou Qing was still in a state of soul leaving his body.

"Yes, I gained a little."

Lu Qingmo sighed, "What an amazing cultivation speed."

After careful calculation, I have only been practicing for more than three months and I am about to enter the fourth level of soul.

Yun Duo has been practicing for two and a half years and is still able to travel at night.

Not a human being, really not a human being.

Lu Qingmo thought about it and understood why Zhou Qing cultivated so fast.

Just the Taoist technique of eating clouds and consuming air, which can be used simultaneously with the visualization diagram and Taiyin refining the spirit, brings an effect that is almost equivalent to one day being equivalent to two days for others, and two months being equivalent to four months for others.

Then there is the mysterious moon mark that gathers the moonlight and commands the moon demon to voluntarily offer up its essence.

Under all the conditions, more than two months is too long for others.

It would be strange if the breakthrough was not quick.

"When daybreak comes, you can refine the sunlight and start to advance to the Sun Tour. I will tell you some tips on cultivation later."

"This is already the level of the deputy governor of the Black Cloud Ghost and God Department. You are growing very fast. In a few years, you will surpass me."

Lu Qingmo had a guess in his mind that Zhou Qing's breakthrough should be related to the power he gained after saving the evil spirits in the mountains.

"I'm still a long way from catching up with Aunt Mo." Zhou Qing was very humble.

Seeing that Lu Qingmo never asked any questions, Zhou Qing took the initiative to speak.

"Aunt Mo, aren't you curious about the Taoist magic I use in the Impermanence Yama Realm?"

Lu Qingmo said: "You awakened during your training, right?"

“…”

You've already given your reasons, what else can I say?

Lu Qingmo thought about it carefully while staying in the Ghost and God Department.

It was not the Taoist magic she taught, and Zhou Qing had no channels to learn it.

The only possible answer is self-awakening.

She has gotten used to it. This is not the first time Zhou Qing has awakened Taoist magic.

It would be shocking if Bai Ruoyue awakened a martial art one day.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I watched that girl grow up, and I know how capable and powerful she is.

Awakening martial arts and supernatural powers? I don’t have that ability, so I know.

"It is indeed a Taoist technique that I suddenly mastered before." Zhou Qing answered honestly:

"But because this has happened so many times, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't tell you."

Lu Qingmo nodded. He didn't feel anything about this statement as he was already familiar with it.

She had gotten used to Zhou Qing's various inhuman aspects.

"Aunt Mo, you..."

"I……"

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhou Qing's soul returned to his body and asked:

"What happened fifteen years ago as the people from the Wuchang Palace said?"

"Why do you say that your cultivation cannot improve? What have you been through?"

Lu Qingmo was silent, her eyes changed, and then she nodded and said, "They are right, my cultivation really cannot improve. I encountered an accident that year, and I became what I am now."

"You should know by now that I am in the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood."

"Yeah." Zhou Qing nodded.

The fluctuations of the battle in the sky just now were so terrifying that he didn't dare to spy on it easily. It was impossible for the power that a day-traveling monk could unleash.

"I was a manifestation of the Holy Spirit fifteen years ago, and fifteen years later, I am still the same."

"I haven't made any progress. Breaking through the realm has become an unattainable thing for me."

These words inevitably carry a hint of loneliness.

She is undoubtedly a genius as she was able to enter Xuandu Temple and have the opportunity to obtain peerless Taoist magic such as the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal.

But for a genius, it must be quite torturous to stagnate in cultivation for fifteen years and be trapped in one state.

"Is it because of that weird elder from the Wuchang Palace?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Yes, it's because of him." Lu Qingmo's eyes showed memories.

"Before that incident, although I was not the most outstanding disciple in Xuandu Temple, I still had some talent."

"I am also blessed with good fortune. I accidentally obtained the peerless Taoist technique of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal. Everyone in Xuandu Temple is very optimistic about me and believes that I can become a powerful guardian of the temple in the future."

Zhou Qing knew in her heart that Lu Qingmo's words were obviously modesty. She was more than just talented. She was probably second only to the most outstanding disciple.

Without strength, one cannot grasp such an opportunity as peerless Taoist magic.

"While I was highly expected by the temple, I naturally became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the enemies of Xuandu Temple. There were too many people who wanted to get rid of me and destroy me."

Lu Qingmo continued, "Especially because I used to be very hostile to all kinds of evil demons. I hated them very much. Whenever I met an evil demon, I would kill it as soon as possible. This made me even more hostile to the evil demons."

Zhou Qing echoed, "Evil and crooked people should be punished by everyone. Aunt Mo, you are just doing justice."

"No, I hate the demons because I have a blood feud with them."

Lu Qingmo's tone seemed calm, but there were strong emotions surging underneath.

"When I was six years old, my parents were killed by an evil cultivator and used to practice evil skills. If my master hadn't happened to pass by and killed the evil demon, I would have died long ago."

"I always remember that day and that scene. So when I became successful in my cultivation, I became hostile to all evil cultivators. Among all my fellow disciples of the same generation, I was the most radical."

Zhou Qing was silent. He didn't expect Lu Qingmo to have such a background.

When I was six years old, I witnessed my parents being used by evil practitioners to practice martial arts. The psychological trauma caused by such a horrific thing will probably be difficult to heal in my lifetime.

"Then, fifteen years, seven months and three days ago, it was a day I will never forget."

"I, who was in the Manifestation Realm, went to Jiaozhou for some matters, where I met an elder from the Yin God Realm of the Impermanence Hall, the Ghost Elder."

"He attacked me. The Yin God Realm is very strong. This is a realm that is strong enough to be deified. It is the realm of gods. I am no match for him. In order to protect myself, I used a forbidden technique."

"I traded my future for my present strength. I fought off the demon elder and almost killed him, but I also fell into his trap."

"That is a kind of poison, a poison unique to the Hall of Impermanence that targets the soul."

Having said that, Lu Qingmo's hands moved, as if trembling.

"The soul of the poisoned person will suffer the pain of being bitten by thousands of ghosts, and the origin will be polluted by the power of the netherworld, and it will be impossible for them to reach the realm of Yin God in their lifetime."

"The origin of man, the power of the netherworld, the conflict between yin and yang, the disorder of the soul, the severance of the path."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart.

The pain of the bite of thousands of ghosts...

Unbreakable in a lifetime...

He could imagine what kind of torture and pain this was.

No wonder Lu Qingmo once said that the Wuchang Palace was a life-and-death feud between her and her.

There is not only the lingering hatred of the evil demon killing his relatives, but also the great revenge of having his path to the Tao severed. I am afraid that this hatred and vengeance will never fade away and will last forever.

Impermanence Hall, Ghost Elder.

Zhou Qing remembered this name in his heart, and the murderous intent in his heart surged like never before.

At the same time, Zhou Qing reached out and held Lu Qingmo's hand, giving her some warmth.

"I went to a large sect in Jiaozhou to recuperate, and returned to Xuandu Temple under the escort of them and a senior brother."

"But the teachers in the temple couldn't solve my problem. The forbidden techniques and the influence of the poison of impermanence completely cut off my path to enlightenment."

Lu Qingmo sighed, "The master of the temple personally met me and helped me. He helped me to resolve some of the effects of the poison of impermanence, and saved me from the pain of being bitten by thousands of ghosts. But for the rest, the master of the temple was powerless to do anything."

Even the master of Xuandu Temple was powerless to save the situation, which showed that Lu Qingmo's path was truly over.

A bright future, but the most outstanding people of their generation in Xuandu Temple were ruined by the hands of evil demons.

When this incident happened, the entire Xuandu Temple was filled with sighs and regrets, and there was no need to describe the anger and murderous intent.

However, the Wuchang Palace acts in a secretive manner, and no one knows where the sect’s headquarters is. The disciples are also elusive, so if you want to take revenge, you can’t find the place or the people.

Such evil sects have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. Apart from other things, their concealment capabilities must be unparalleled in the world.

Otherwise, it would have been attacked by everyone and destroyed directly.

Throughout history, any evil sect whose location was exposed has been directly destroyed.

The evil sects that are able to stay are the best among them.

"After my path was cut off, I practiced hard for a while, but achieved little success. Eventually, for some reasons, I chose to leave Xuandu Temple and come to Heiyun Town to live and take care of Ruoyue."

If she were still the dazzling Xuandu prodigy, she should be traveling around the world now instead of being trapped here.

Fifteen times is enough for her to cultivate to a very high level.

But since there is no future, it doesn’t matter where you are.

Zhou Qing held Lu Qingmo's hand tightly and she did not resist.

"Aunt Mo, is the ghost elder of the Impermanence Hall still alive?"

"Alive. Not long ago, because of the Gao family incident, I contacted my junior brother. He told me that the old ghost showed up in Nanjin five years ago."

"He is in the Yin God Realm after all. If he didn't die back then, it wouldn't be difficult for him to recover from his injuries."

"I will bring his head to you later."

Zhou Qing made a promise very solemnly.

Lu Qingmo looked at Zhou Qing with tenderness in his eyes.

"It's good that you have this intention, but the cultivators in the Yin God Realm are extraordinary and extremely powerful. If you encounter a cultivator in this realm before you grow up, you must run away."

"Those in the Yin God Realm are called Venerables. Their souls have undergone a fundamental transformation. They are no longer Yin spirits, but gods."

"The minimum requirement to become a god is to reach the Yin God Realm."

"The peerless genius's cross-level battle ends when he reaches the Yin God Realm. It is basically impossible to defeat someone at this level. You must not be careless."

Lu Qingmo was extremely serious about the cultivation of Yin Shen and warned Zhou Qing solemnly.

The way of the soul, starting from the day trip, is a threshold of one realm at a time. Each breakthrough brings about a qualitative change, and the gap is so great that it is difficult to describe.
