Fang Zhixing listened quietly, slightly curious.
Fan Qiulai nodded and said, "Yes, cults are prevalent in Dai State, I’ve long heard of it."
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help laughing, "Just a mere cult, nothing impressive, right?"
Yan Jingfeng quickly shook his head, speaking seriously, "The main cultivation of Taoism is Cultivating Yang Divine, supported by Dharma Body.
Moreover, Yang Divine not only can free itself from physical constraints to roam the heavens and earth without restrictions but also possesses infinite marvelous uses."
Such as entering dreams to manipulate souls, seeing auras, calling winds and summoning rains, peeping into the future, and observing fate and so on."
Due to the boundless marvelous uses of Yang Divine, almost omnipotent, some heretics outsiders, and even people from the orthodox path, once they ascend to the Hundred Cows Realm, they arrogantly declare themselves as gods, attracting many followers, by devouring the followers’ destinies to strengthen themselves."
Fang Zhixing listened carefully, smacking his lips, "Can one’s destiny on their body be plundered?"
Fan Qiulai interjected and explained, "You can think of a person’s destiny as blood; Yang Divine plundering destiny is akin to blood-sucking."
Yan Jingfeng nodded and said, "Destiny is invisible to the naked eye, but Yang Divine has Dharma Eye, which can see, touch, and even refine, purify, and integrate it into oneself."
Fang Zhixing’s mind became clear, and suddenly curious, he exclaimed, "Cults are everywhere in Dai State, does that mean it’s easy for cultivators here to ascend to Hundred Cows Realm?"
Yan Jingfeng spread his hands and said, "Alas, in Dan State the aristocratic families dominate everything, monopolizing resources, and ordinary people have almost no chance of ascension.
But Dai State is different, Taoism is open to outsiders, and as long as your talent is good enough, there is a chance to obtain resources from Taoism."
The aristocratic families are few, following the elite path, whereas Taoism has a broad base of followers, following the path of all living beings."
Fang Zhixing understood and nodded, "Dan State doesn’t give ordinary people a chance, but Dai State does, depending on whether you can make use of it or not."
He couldn’t help asking, "So, is Dai State much stronger than Dan State?"
Fan Qiulai laughed and said, "Dan State is mountainous and complex in terrain, while Dai State is flat and fertile, with a population twice that of Dan State, it’s normal to have more masters."
Hearing this, Yan Jingfeng responded more rigorously, "Masters are always scarce, the Hundred Cows Realm is not common cabbage. All we can say is that the number of cultivators in Dai State indeed exceeds that of Dan State, rich in martial virtue."
Fang Zhixing understood, curiously asking, "With Taoism flourishing in Dai State, doesn’t that mean there are more Saints of the flesh, and relatively fewer Heavenly People and mecha?"
Yan Jingfeng nodded, "Indeed, about fifty to sixty percent are Saints.
He paused, then added, "Additionally, there are many mysterious and unpredictable Saints in Dai State; although their power is astonishing, they are actually Yin Gods, not Yang Divine."
Fang Zhixing blinked, surprised, "Yin Gods refer to?"
Yan Jingfeng explained, "Taoism first cultivates Yin God, then transforms into Yang Divine. However, many people fail to complete the transformation and are forced to stay in the Yin Divine Realm.
As time passes, their physical bodies either die naturally or are slain, thereafter they are forced to survive in the world as Yin Gods."
They fear sunlight, excel at refining ghosts, summoning Evil Spirits, seizing others, and so on, overall not engaging in human affairs."
Many of the cult’s masterminds, nine out of ten times, are some Yin God causing havoc among people."
Fang Zhixing understood, clicking his tongue a few times, exclaimed, "Dai State also has its own local characteristics."
Yan Jingfeng couldn’t help laughing, "To sum it up, that’s roughly the situation, with Five Elements Sect and Red Bright King at the top, followed by a large number of orthodox and heretical sects entrenched, it’s quite chaotic indeed."
Fang Zhixing asked, "Where do we go next?"
Yan Jingfeng replied, "If you want to openly conduct business, you’ll certainly need a distinguished identity."
Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, "Identity is often given by others."
Yan Jingfeng laughed, "My master lives in seclusion at ’He Ming Mountain,’ his master, my grandmaster, is an elder of Five Elements Sect at ’Azure Dragon Peak.’
He carefully said, "Strictly speaking, I am only an external disciple of Five Elements Sect, which is to say that official disciples of Five Elements Sect independently recruit and train disciples outside the sect."
External disciples can go to Five Elements Sect, and after passing some tests, they can be upgraded to official disciples."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing got the gist.
External disciples are off the books, while official disciples enjoy comprehensive benefits.
"My master is an official disciple of Five Elements Sect, and he has the qualifications to recruit disciples, so..."
Yan Jingfeng continued, "As long as you don’t mind, acting as my master’s nominal disciple, and then having my master write to Five Elements Sect, you can obtain the status of an official disciple of Five Elements Sect."
He laughed, "With this status, it will be much easier for you to do things in Dai State."
"Five Elements Sect..."
Fang Zhixing understood, glanced at the System Panel, condition 3.
He remembered Yan Jingfeng mentioning that Five Elements Sect had the "Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit."
Fang Zhixing paused, then nodded, "I don’t mind, as long as your master doesn’t mind."
Yan Jingfeng replied, "My master is just in the Nine Ox Realm, he’ll be very happy to help."
Having agreed on their plan, they acted separately.
Yan Jingfeng and Fan Qiulai moved stealthily, keeping a low profile.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhixing, holding Yan Jingfeng’s recommendation letter, headed to He Ming Mountain.
But he didn’t rush off, waiting an extra day instead.
