Early morning.
Ye Ping opened his eyes.
After washing up, Ye Ping walked out of the room.
There were faint clouds and mist in the forest, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
The faint ringing of the bell was even more relaxing.
Ye Ping stretched his waist and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Entering the ancient temple early in the morning, the first rays of the sun shone high into the forest."
"The winding path leads to a secluded place, the meditation room is full of flowers and trees."
"The light of the mountain pleases the birds, the shadow of the pond empties the heart."
"All sounds are silent here, only the sound of bells and chimes can be heard."
This is what the poet Chang Jian wrote, 'The Zen Courtyard Behind the Broken Mountain Temple'.
The poem was not very appropriate because they were in a Daoist hall, not an ancient temple. However, there was no one around and Ye Ping was just expressing his feelings. There was no need for it to be appropriate.
After stretching, Ye Ping walked straight towards the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He planned to go to the Sutra Depository and cram up some knowledge on cultivation.
Last night, Ye Ping had been reading the Creation Alchemy Technique, which was also the secret manual that Luochen had given him.
However, after reading the latter part, Ye Ping immediately understood that he couldn't refine pills for the time being.
The Creation Pill Refining Technique in the secret manual required one to have spirit energy in their body to refine pills.
Using Qi to attract the spirit, using the spirit to transform into the spirit, using the spirit to condense the pill, this was the Pure Spirit Pill.
In other words, it was still necessary to use one's own spiritual energy to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then use one's willpower and spirit to condense the medicinal pill. Only then would one be able to refine a Pure Spiritual Pill, which was a non-poisonous pill.
Ye Ping knew the method, but he didn't have any spiritual energy. Hence, he had no choice but to put the matter aside.
The most important thing now was to cram on the knowledge of immortal cultivation.
Qingyun Dao Sect.
The few halls were spotless and extremely simple and tidy, completely different from the bustling Daoist temples outside.
Perhaps this was the demeanor of a reclusive Taoist sect.
His sleeves were untainted by the wind, and he was aloof.
Ye Ping was very impressed by their attitude. They stood aloof from worldly affairs and knew their destiny.
Everything seemed very ordinary, but the Great Dao was simple. The simpler something was, the more it contained infinite principles.
For example, why was there an incense stick in the incense burner outside the sect's main hall?
'Could it be that the Qingyun Dao Sect can't afford the incense? '
This was obviously impossible.
As the saying goes, if one's heart is sincere, one incense stick's worth of time is enough. If one's heart is not sincere, then even a mountain full of incense would not be able to increase one's luck.
Ye Ping stared at the incense in the incense burner, his heart filled with emotions.
A small incense stick contained so much truth.
There was only one word for a hidden sect.
Absolute.
He retracted his consciousness.
Ye Ping walked into the Sutra Pavilion.
The Sutra Pavilion of the Qingyun Dao Sect was not very large. There were a total of four bookshelves, each of which was filled with many secret manuals.
Ye Ping seemed very well-behaved and did not flip around. Even his footsteps were light.
However, as Ye Ping stepped into the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion and looked at the secret manuals on the bookshelves, Ye Ping was stunned.
[Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Primordial Soul Technique]
[Immortal Dao Dual Pupil Activation Method]
[Perfect Unlocking Supreme Phenomenon]
[True Dragon's Supreme Divine Ability]
Celestial Thearch Sword Technique
[3,600 Immortal Aperture Technique]
[Thirty-six Divine Powers of Big Dipper]
[72 Earthly Fiend Dao Techniques]
…
In the Sutra Depository.
Ye Ping froze in shock.
He knew that the Qingyun Dao Sect was a hidden sect, but he didn\'t expect it to be so terrifying.
Ye Ping didn\'t even need to look at the secret manuals to find them impressive.
However, what shocked Ye Ping even more was that the secret manuals were placed casually on the bookshelves.
There were no array formations or other protective measures around them.
\ 'Is this a hidden sect?\'
\ 'I love it.\'
Ye Ping was excited.
He was really excited.
If anyone dared to say that it was not a hidden sect, he would definitely slash them with his sword.
Dual-pupil! Essence Soul Technique! True Dragon\'s Mystical Ability! Celestial Thearch Sword Technique! 72 Heavenly Spirit Mystical Abilities?
Ye Ping was so excited that he was trembling all over.
This was simply an unexpected surprise, an unexpected surprise.
However, after a while, Ye Ping took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Ye Ping, don\'t be agitated. Although the books here are all supreme secret manuals, not all of them can be learned. Calm down, calm down."
Ye Ping took several deep breaths, and finally, his emotions gradually calmed down.
He understood that although there were a large number of secret manuals here, it might be a problem whether he could learn them or not.
It didn\'t mean that he could learn all the secret manuals.
Besides, what if something happened if he practiced the secret manuals indiscriminately? What if the Sect Leader and Senior Brothers blamed him later?
At the thought of this, Ye Ping calmed down even more.
\ 'I can\'t lose myself.\'
\ 'Yes, I can\'t lose myself.\'
Ye Ping kept telling himself not to be agitated and to remain calm, but deep down, he was still agitated.
Who would be able to remain calm after seeing such secret manuals?
The secret manuals in the Sutra Depository made Ye Ping unconditionally believe that the Qingyun Dao Sect was a hidden sect.
However, Ye Ping indeed did not read those secret manuals.
Instead, he flipped through some other books about some information about the world of immortal cultivation, such as the "Qingzhou Anecdotes" and "Jin Nation Anecdotes".
Those books were extremely thick and heavy.
Ye Ping was very patient and he read from day to night in the Sutra Depository alone.
He read for a full 14 hours.
After reading for 14 hours, Ye Ping finished reading the books in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.
In his mind, he had a general understanding of Qingzhou, Jin Nation, and the immortal sects of the Ten Nations, including the forces of the sects, the system of the imperial court, and some strange things.
"I didn\'t expect that the power of the imperial court in this world is actually not weaker than that of the immortal sects."
Ye Ping muttered to himself.
According to the records in the books, the imperial court was in charge of the mortal world, and although the immortal sects were detached from the imperial court and were not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the immortal sects were inferior to the imperial court and had to cooperate with the imperial court on certain matters.
It was equivalent to a cooperative relationship, but the imperial court had the greater initiative.
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. In the world of immortal cultivation, it was impossible for there to be no immortal cultivators in the imperial court. With a large base number, there would definitely be powerhouses born. Besides, once the national machinery was in operation, it would be an invincible force.
It was true that there were peerless immortals in the immortal sects, but the problem was that the immortal sects were all secretive with each other. They would hide all the ultimate arts and legacies, and those who did not become true legacies would not be allowed to enter the Dharmic formulation. However, the imperial court was different. As long as one worked hard and brought light to the imperial court, they would get resources and ultimate arts if they wanted.
Besides, the most important thing was …
Fame and fortune!
All the hustle and bustle in the world were all for the sake of profit.
Who wouldn\'t want to become a king and an ancestor? Who wouldn\'t want to command the world? Who wouldn\'t want to have someone clearing the way for them when they walk on the streets?
There were certainly people who didn\'t care about fame and fortune, but how many of them were there?
For example, an old man in his seventies or eighties would dissuade one from being lustful.
That was for sure. He was already in his seventies or eighties. When he was young, he would repair cars every day and when he was old, he would dissuade others from being lustful.
Beauty might not be tempting to cultivators who had cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years.
However, what about power?
What about the authority to command millions of troops with just a word?
What about the throne that was above millions of people?
Hence, the power of the imperial court surpassed that of the sects.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a little upset.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn\'t have participated in the Grand Immortal Ascension Meet more than fifty times.
He would have gone straight to the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Once he entered the imperial court, he wouldn\'t have to worry about not being able to cultivate immortality.
\ 'It\'s all the fault of those online novels that make the imperial court seem like it\'s nothing.
However, Ye Ping soon felt that something was amiss.
"If I had known earlier, wouldn\'t I have missed out on the hidden sects?"
\ 'Yes!\'
Ye Ping suddenly realized a fundamental problem.
If not for the fact that he didn\'t understand, how could he have joined the Qingyun Dao Sect?\ '
At the thought of this, Ye Ping suddenly cheered up again.
After a while …
Ye Ping stretched his waist again.
He then couldn\'t help but look at a secret manual.
"3,600 Immortal Apertures Wondrous Method"
At this moment …
All of a sudden, a clear voice sounded.
"Ye Ping, why are you here?"
It was a female voice.
