Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 916 - 432: Return to the Sect

"Great! With this item, dealing with ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators will no longer be a problem!"

Li Yunjing held the "Myriad Poison Banner" in his hand, immediately stood up, and couldn't help but laugh.

He gently shook the "Myriad Poison Banner", which instantly emitted thick poisonous smoke.

Amid the poisonous smoke, sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves erupted, enough to terrify the heart.

The poisonous smoke seemed to have acquired life, like thousands of ghostly creatures, extremely frightening.

However, before the poisonous smoke could break through the restrictions set by Li Yunjing, he shook the "Myriad Poison Banner" again, absorbing the smoke completely until it vanished without a trace.

After slightly sensing the power of the "Myriad Poison Banner," Li Yunjing was evidently quite satisfied.

"It's a pity! There's no highly toxic substance! If I could obtain a poison deadly enough to kill a Nascent Soul Realm being and integrate it into the Myriad Poison Banner, this magical treasure would truly stand out!"

As he focused his mind on the "Myriad Poison Banner," Li Yunjing considered ways to enhance its power.

After refining this treasure, Li Yunjing produced the bodies of several Tier Three Demon Kings.

Li Yunjing extracted the fattest grease and refined it through the "Samadhi True Fire," forming jars of grease.

This grease is precisely the lamp oil that Li Yunjing refined!

Since acquiring the "All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp," Li Yunjing lacked the lamp oil needed to unleash the treasure's power.

Li Yunjing carefully poured the refined lamp oil into the "All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp," and the wick ignited instantly.

The lotus lamp's petals unfolded layer by layer, with each petal displaying complex runes, and a seven-colored radiance blossomed from those runes.

The entire room was illuminated in a dreamlike manner.

"With this lamp oil, the power of the 'All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp' can finally be unleashed."

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, a trace of excitement flashing in his eyes.

The lamp oil is of low quality, and this is just the preliminary activation. If higher-grade lamp oil could be refined from the body of a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, the power of the "All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp" would multiply.

Once these two tasks were completed, half a year had passed.

The "Cyan Cloud Ship" had already arrived in the "Feiyun Sea Region."

Upon reaching here, Li Yunjing did not pause and directly activated the "Cyan Cloud Ship," heading straight for the Southern Heaven Continent.

Three days later, Li Yunjing returned to the Great Ming Imperial Capital, "Yingtian Prefecture."

After arriving here, Li Yunjing took a brief rest and explained matters regarding the Great Ming Dynasty to Zhao Qi.

At present, Li Yunjing had stepped down as the Great Ming National Preceptor.

Yet, he remained a true disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Upon arriving at the Shenxiao Temple, both the disciples and the new Observatory Master dared not neglect him, clustering around him, awaiting his orders.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, finally realizing how impressive Li Yunjing truly was.

The next day, even the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, the entire court of civil and military officials, and Princess Zhu Wanyun all came to the Shenxiao Temple to pay respects to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing stood before the grand hall of the Shenxiao Temple, his expression calm, his gaze sweeping steadily over the crowd.

The Great Ming Emperor wore a dragon robe, his demeanor respectful, followed by the entire court of civil and military officials, and even Princess Zhu Wanyun stood at the side, a complex look in her eyes.

"Master Li, it's been years, and your elegance remains unchanged!"

The Great Ming Emperor slightly gestured with his hands, his tone carrying a hint of reverence.

Li Yunjing smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. I have long resigned from the position of National Preceptor and am now but an ordinary disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, unworthy of such a grand gesture from Your Majesty."

The Emperor shook his head solemnly, saying, "Though Master Li has stepped down, your contributions to the Great Ming Dynasty are remembered both by myself and the entire court. Today's visit is firstly to extend my respect, and secondly to hope that Master Li can offer some guidance for the Great Ming once more."

The Emperor was no fool!

Li Yunjing stepping down — what an idea!

He remained a true disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect!

A single word from him could crush those beneath with overwhelming might!

While Li Yunjing might not be able to replace the entire royal family, if he returned to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, maneuvering to exert pressure and replace an emperor would be a mere trifle!

Facing a presence that dwarfed him both in status and martial power, the Emperor too had to bow his head, submitting obediently.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, saying lightly, "Your Majesty has been thoughtful. However, those who cultivate are long beyond mortal affairs; court matters are not for me to involve myself in excessively. But Princess Zhu Wanyun is gifted and insightful; should she cultivate with intent, she might achieve something."

"Lord National Master!"

Princess Zhu Wanyun, upon hearing this, showed a flash of joy, quickly stepped forward, and respectfully said, "Wanyun has always admired your elegance. If I could follow and serve by your side, receiving your guidance, I would be eternally grateful."

With Li Yunjing's cultivation, Zhu Wanyun's progress had been rapid; she was already at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, just a step away from Foundation Establishment.

Being a princess in the Great Ming Dynasty, or following Li Yunjing —there was no choice to make; Zhu Wanyun naturally knew what decision to take!

Moreover, Li Yunjing returning today means he may not come to Yingtian Prefecture again for a century.

By then, Zhu Wanyun might not even have the opportunity to seek out Li Yunjing.

This was her only chance to change her fate!

Today, Zhu Wanyun would follow Li Yunjing!

And Zhu Wanyun's words also brought surprise to those present of the Great Ming royal family, the civil and military officials, and even the disciples of the Shenxiao Temple.
