Chapter 92: Shocking All Directions

In the West, on Mount Sumeru, sits a magnificent palace.

This is the location of the dojo of the two Saints of the Western Sect, Jieyin and Zhunti.

Unlike the dojo of the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain, the palace where Jieyin and Zhunti reside is clearly somewhat crude and cramped.

After all, the West is barren, and this is already the result of the Western Two Sages' painstaking efforts to build it.

At this moment, in the center of the dojo, Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren, who were originally explaining the Dao to a sparse few disciples, suddenly felt something in their hearts and their expressions changed abruptly.

When the disciples below saw the two Saints acting so out of character, they became suspicious, yet none dared to ask anything.

From each other's gazes, the two saw looks of shock and uncertainty.

Jieyin Daoren said, "Junior Brother, you must have sensed it too!"

Zhunti nodded and said, "Indeed! I do not know why, but a massive amount of merit has just descended over in the East!"

As he spoke, his face was filled with envy.

Because, in the past, in order to become Saints, the two of them had made many great vows, only then borrowing enough merit from the Heavenly Dao to achieve sainthood.

It was also because of this that after becoming Saints, they tried almost every possible method to repay the owed merit, but unfortunately, the results were minimal.

Now, seeing that people in the East were frequently receiving merit from Heaven, it would be strange if they were not envious.

After some divination, the two were even more astonished to discover that the person who had received more merit each time was actually the same one! However, they could not calculate any information about this person; it seemed to be obscured by some powerful existence! Jieyin muttered to himself, "Could this matter be related to those Saints in the East?"

In their view, only a Saint could obscure the heavenly secrets from them! If this matter were not related to those Eastern Saints, why would they need to obscure the heavenly secrets?

What made them even more certain of this was that they soon discovered that several Eastern Saints were currently right near that human, Lu Yun!

"No!"

Zhunti stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, this poor Daoist must head to the East to investigate!"

Jieyin felt the same way.

If they went to join in the excitement, perhaps they would have a chance to obtain some merit.

Even if they could not get any, it would be good to take the opportunity to convert a few disciples from the East!

Therefore, Jieyin said, "Junior Brother, you may go! This poor Daoist will hold down the fort at Mount Sumeru and await your good news!"

Thus, Zhunti bid farewell to Jieyin, hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, and headed straight for the East!

After he left, Jieyin continued to explain the Dao to the disciples below.

On Wanshou Mountain, inside Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhenyuanzi, sitting cross-legged before the Ginseng Fruit tree, was also holding the Earth Book, investigating the source of the omen that had just appeared when the Wenqu Star illuminated the Great Desolation.

He also detected the existence of Lu Yun, yet he could not know what Lu Yun's background was.

And while using the Earth Book to investigate, he caught a glimpse of several Saints gathered at a Human Tribe.

"This matter is truly too strange!"

After thinking it over repeatedly, Zhenyuanzi finally gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue!"

He called out to the two Attendants he had recently enlightened and instructed, "This poor Daoist is going out for a while; you two look after the temple!"

"Yes, Master!"

Thus, Zhenyuanzi took a step, instantly exited Wuzhuang Temple, and headed straight for the East Sea Shore.

Naturally, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Zhenyuanzi were not the only ones who sensed that Lu Yun had caused the omen.

All living beings in the Great Desolation witnessed the transformation of the Wenqu Star with their own eyes, and those with strength above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level basically all sensed the source of the anomaly.

After all, just as the Wenqu Star showed signs of abnormality, a large amount of merit descended upon a Human Tribe at the East Sea Shore, and the Wenqu Star even released a massive amount of Wenqu Star power; it was not difficult to make some deductions.

Although not all experts could investigate the situation within the Zhushan Tribe like Zhenyuanzi, the movement of the Wenqu Star and the overwhelming Heavenly Dao Merit were enough to attract everyone to rush to the East Sea Shore!

Within the Zhushan Tribe.

That astonishing Literature Qi and merit finally completely merged into Lu Yun's body.

The difference was that the Literature Qi belonged to Lu Yun, while a portion of the Heavenly Dao Merit fell upon Nuwa and Suirenshi as a reward for their assistance in Lu Yun's preaching.

Such merit was not much to Nuwa; it could only be called a small, unexpected joy.

But for Suirenshi, it was a huge reward and affirmation.

Even his Fire of Inheritance was nourished once again by the Heavenly Dao Merit, and thus improved further!

Suirenshi was also particularly grateful to Lu Yun and Nuwa because of this! After all, if it were not for Lu Yun's preaching and Nuwa asking him to assist, he would have had no chance to harvest this share of Heavenly Dao Merit! Of course, this bit of gratitude was quickly overshadowed by the surprise of Lu Yun passing down the method of Literature Dao cultivation.

Because he had just tried it slightly and found that by reciting the "Righteousness Song" passed down by Lu Yun, he could actually feel strands of strange energy being drawn into his body, becoming power he could use.

This power was completely different from physical strength or Immortal Dao magic power, and even had the effect of clearing one's mind.

And this also proved what Lu Yun said: the Literature Dao cultivation method was indeed suitable for the Human Race!

Therefore, Suirenshi quickly suppressed the excitement and gratitude in his heart, silently reciting the "Righteousness Song" in his heart, and was completely immersed in cultivation!

Besides him, other humans present, and even humans in Human Tribes all over the Great Desolation, were also trying to recite the "Righteousness Song." Soon, many people drew in Literature Qi, feeling overjoyed, and one after another entered a state of cultivation.

Although the Literature Qi they could draw in at first was scarce, as long as there was hope to become stronger, the Human Race would be crazy for it! Although the Wu Clan side was not as crazy as the Human Race, many Great Witches were also trying it, and they found that it was indeed as Lu Yun said; they could also draw in Literature Qi, and they all felt it was quite novel.

After all, in the past, they could only use Earthly Fiend Power to temper their bodies and condense Witch Power; this new cultivation method was truly fresh.

Although the power cultivated was still very weak, they were all trying it with great interest.

Even the Ancestral Witches were curiously testing the so-called Literature Dao cultivation.

Fuxi and Nuwa were also very curious about the Literature Dao cultivation method and carefully sensed it one after another.

Thus, the entire Zhushan Tribe became completely silent after the descent of the Heavenly Dao Merit.

Watching this scene, Baize only felt the unease in his heart growing stronger.

Especially watching Lu Yun, who at this moment had unexpectedly struck a pose of having suddenly gained some new insight, sitting cross-legged once more with his eyes tightly shut, he felt even more conflicted in his heart.

He had just sent word of the situation here back, but for some reason, Di Jun had yet to reply, leaving him at a loss for what to do at this moment.

Baize forced himself to remain calm, his gaze quietly glancing toward the direction of the Three Pure Ones, hoping that the Three Pure Ones would take some action.

Regrettably, he was disappointed. The Three Pure Ones had no intention of making a move against Lu Yun at this time! In fact, the current mindset of the Three Pure Ones was quite different.

Laozi had originally thought that upon seeing Lu Yun preaching the Dao, he would surely be enraged and then, regardless of the consequences, strike out to suppress Lu Yun.

But when he truly saw all of this, he suddenly felt a bit of doubt about life itself!

Because the Literature Dao cultivation method that Lu Yun had passed down was truly too profound; it had indeed opened up a new path of cultivation! Such an achievement was something he, Laozi, had never attained! After all, what each of them currently practiced was still the Mysterious Gate Dao Method passed down by Hongjun; even if he had made changes and had his own insights, he still had not departed from its essence.

Yet now, such a tiny member of the Human Race like Lu Yun had actually accomplished an achievement that even he had not!

Furthermore, regarding the issue of Human Race cultivation, he had actually been researching it all along, but after so many years, although he had some insights, he had not yet truly perfected it.

Although part of the reason for this was that he was obsessed with alchemy and his own personal cultivation, and also felt that preaching the Dao now would not yield the greatest benefits, so he had been slack.

But regardless, he was now being outdone by a tiny member of the Human Race!

Because the cultivation method he could currently teach the Human Race was still that same Mysterious Gate Dao Method, and he simply could not break away from it!

Under such circumstances, how could he make a move? Wouldn't making a move make all living beings of the Great Desolation feel that he was acting out of shame and anger, jealous of the virtuous and capable? Did he still want his reputation?

As for Yuanshi, the shock in his heart at this moment was even more intense than Laozi's.

Because, all along, he had felt that the foundation of the Human Race was very mediocre, and he had looked down upon them somewhat.

Yet now, Lu Yun, a member of the Human Race, had accomplished an achievement that they, the self-proclaimed Pangu Orthodox Three Pure Ones, had not! This simply overturned the pride he had held all along!

And what made Yuanshi even more displeased was that Tongtian, opposite him, had actually suddenly started clapping and cheering.

"Hahaha! What a magnificent Haoran Righteousness! What a Literature Dao!"

Tongtian's face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were flashing with sharp light; clearly, he had sensed the unique aspects of Literature Dao cultivation!

Not to mention anything else, just the broad adaptability of this cultivation method left many of the original cultivation methods of the Great Desolation far behind.

It was not only suitable for the Human Race to practice, but also suitable for other living beings of the Great Desolation! Although the level of achievement was still related to talent, at least as long as one held righteousness in their heart and practiced diligently, one would eventually gain something! In Tongtian's view, this was a perfect interpretation of what it meant to intercept a glimmer of life for all living beings, perfectly conforming to the teachings of his Jie Sect!

It was simply too much to his liking!

And the sound of his voice directly startled the still-conflicted Laozi and the angry Yuanshi back to their senses.

Both of them cast somewhat dissatisfied gazes toward him.

Yuanshi even wanted to act directly and scold Tongtian.

But before he could do so, suddenly—

"Hum!"

A light chime came from not far behind them, immediately drawing their attention.

The Three Pure Ones turned their heads in unison and were stunned to see that the fluctuation of energy was actually coming from Xuandu!

Yuanshi frowned and couldn't help but look at Guangchengzi, asking, "What is going on?"

Guangchengzi looked innocent and said, "This disciple does not know either. Just now, Xuandu was suddenly muttering to himself, 'My Way, my Way,' and then he suddenly became like this?"

Laozi's expression couldn't help but change, as he suddenly thought of a rather unfavorable possibility.

But before he could do anything, abruptly—

"Hum!"

The energy on Xuandu's body vibrated violently.

The next moment, right in front of the Three Pure Ones, he broke through from his original Golden Immortal Peak state directly to Taiyi Golden Immortal!

This should have been a joyous occasion, but now Laozi could not feel happy.

Because the method Xuandu used to break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal was not the Way method he had passed down, nor was it even the Mysterious Gate Way Method, but the Literature Way method that Lu Yun had just passed down! Moreover, after Xuandu broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, his cultivation did not stop growing; it was still continuously increasing!

Seeing this situation, Laozi did not know whether he should thank Lu Yun or hate Lu Yun!

However, he knew that since Xuandu had now broken through with the help of Lu Yun's Literature Way method, he owed Lu Yun a massive amount of karma. The more Xuandu improved, the greater the karma he owed!

Even so, Laozi did not interrupt Xuandu's cultivation.

After all, he truly liked this disciple, Xuandu. Furthermore, his two younger brothers' disciples were both Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Xuandu had been unable to break through, so the pressure was indeed not small.

At the same time, the many members of the Transmigration Chat Group watching the live stream finally recovered from the shock they had just experienced.

Because the perspective from which they were watching the live stream was Lu Yun's perspective.

Therefore, they had just had the feeling that they themselves were preaching to the Human Race, stirring up a river of Literature Qi, and receiving merit from the heavens.

Jiang Ye: "Awesome! It's just too awesome!"

Zhou Yu: "Lu Yun is really showing off this time! It makes one's blood boil!"

Chen Hai: "What a pity, if only the person who did all this was me!"

Lin Yan: "Give it a rest. If you were really sent to the Great Desolation, I'm afraid you'd be done for on the first day!"

Liu Chongxiao: "You guys are still immersed in your fantasies, while I have already started recording new material for showing off!"

Chu Xiong: "Damn! Almost forgot! I didn't capture the look of the Three Pure Ones losing their composure just now!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Don't worry, I have saved everything; I'll send it to you all to keep later!"

Just at this moment, suddenly—

"Hum!"

Another fluctuation of energy suddenly drew the attention of everyone around.

Even Nuwa and Fuxi, who were in the midst of comprehending the Literature Dao, opened their eyes at once.

Everyone turned their heads in unison and discovered that the source of this energy was none other than Lu Yun!

At this moment, Lu Yun was sitting cross-legged in front of the Stone Palace, his body's energy vibrating, and his cultivation was actually rising steadily!

When everyone looked closely, they realized that this increased cultivation was different from his original cultivation; it seemed to come from the Literature Dao! Subsequently, everyone suddenly understood.

That's it!

Just a moment ago, Lu Yun had harvested a massive amount of Literature Qi!

If that Literature Qi were used to improve his cultivation, it could completely reach an astonishing level.

At this moment, Lu Yun's Literature Dao cultivation had surprisingly almost caught up to his original cultivation, also reaching a level comparable to a Mysterious Immortal!

Yet Lu Yun seemed to feel this was still not enough, and suddenly took out an object.

Baize focused his gaze to look, and nearly couldn't help but burst into a string of curses! Because what Lu Yun had taken out was none other than the Sun Star Banner! (End of chapter)
