Chapter 595: The Primordial Sacred Land, The Return of the Gods

White clouds drifted in the azure sky, warm sunlight spilled onto the earth, and birds sang joyfully on the branches. If not for the traces of battle remaining on the ground, no one would believe that a war concerning the survival of heaven and earth had just taken place here.

Taixuan Laozu gazed at the empty sky, his eyes filled with reluctance, and muttered to himself: "Will they... ever return?"

Cihang Xianzi sighed softly: "Perhaps they will, perhaps they will not. But the spirit and philosophy they left behind will forever guide the direction of the Cultivation World's progress."

This was indeed true. Although Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan had left, the cause of reform they fought for had not ended. In this great battle, everyone witnessed the power of unity with their own eyes, witnessing the feat of resisting the enemy together regardless of background.

Zhang Wuji was the first to stand up: "Seniors, although Brother Lin Xuan and Sister Xiao Yuan have left, their ideals cannot be interrupted here! I propose that we immediately begin to rebuild the Cultivation World and establish a new order that is truly fair and just!"

"Well said!" Taixuan Laozu nodded in approval, "This old man is willing to fully support the great cause of reform! From now on, all resources of the Taixuan Sect will be open to rogue cultivators!"

The Sect Leaders of other traditional forces also expressed their support one after another. Although Jianchi Laozu had just been resurrected, he quickly understood the current situation: "Wanjian Valley is willing to open all sword technique manuals; any cultivator with the heart to learn the sword can come to study!"

Xinghe Laozu was not to be outdone: "The Star Observation Platform and star chart manuals of the Star Pavilion are likewise open, allowing everyone to learn the Dao of the stars!"

Even Abbot Huiming pressed his palms together and said: "Amitabha, Buddha Dharma is meant to save all living beings; there should never have been distinctions of status. Huayan Temple is willing to open its gates wide to teach the Buddha Dharma."

The reconstruction work of the Cultivation World unfolded rapidly under the concerted efforts of everyone. The first thing to be abolished was the prejudice of status that had continued for a thousand years. Whether they were disciples of famous sects or rogue cultivators of humble origins, all obtained equal opportunities for cultivation and space for development.

Taixuan Laozu personally presided over the formulation of the new sect system. This system was based on strength and character, rather than bloodline and background. Any cultivator, as long as they had sufficient strength and noble character, could obtain a corresponding status within the sect.

"The path of cultivation should be equal for everyone," Taixuan Laozu said passionately when announcing the new system, "Talent may vary in level, but opportunities should not be divided by rank!"

Zhang Wuji was elected as the new Alliance Leader of the reform alliance, responsible for coordinating various forces and advancing the reform process. Under his leadership, the previously scattered rogue cultivators finally obtained the status and resources they deserved.

The newly established system for the distribution of cultivation resources completely broke the monopoly, allowing everyone who aspired to cultivation to obtain the necessary techniques, Pills, and Dharma Artifacts. Those high-level resources that were originally only accessible to disciples of large sects were now also open to rogue cultivators.

"This is truly something I never dreamed of," an old rogue cultivator said, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement, "I have cultivated for eighty years, and I am finally able to access techniques of the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin Xuan and Sister Xiao Yuan!" another rogue cultivator said through tears, "It was they who used their lives to win all of this for us!"

The entire Cultivation World began to radiate unprecedented vitality. Without status prejudice, cultivators of different backgrounds began to sincerely exchange ideas and spar, learning from each other and progressing together. Some geniuses who were originally buried made rapid progress in their cultivation because they obtained better resources and guidance.

At the same time, Cihang Xianzi did not immediately return to the Immortal Realm. She was deeply moved by the spirit of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan and decided to stay in the Human Realm for a while longer to help establish a more perfect cultivation system.

"This humble Daoist will leave behind some Immortal Dharma inheritances," Cihang Xianzi said to the crowd, "These techniques can help cultivators better purify their hearts and resist the erosion of evil."

The Immortal Dharma she taught focused mainly on the cultivation of temperament and the purification of the soul, which could effectively prevent cultivators from falling into evil paths due to the pursuit of power. The introduction of these techniques provided an important guarantee for the healthy development of the Cultivation World.

A new education system was also established under the guidance of Cihang Xianzi. It was no longer the traditional inheritance model of master to disciple, but rather the establishment of institutions similar to academies, allowing more cultivators to receive systematic cultivation education.

"Cultivation is not just about improving strength; more importantly, it is about cultivating the heart," Cihang Xianzi said at the opening ceremony of the first cultivation academy, "Only with a pure heart can one go further on the path of cultivation."

These academies not only taught cultivation techniques but also focused on moral education and the cultivation of temperament. Students were treated equally regardless of their background, learning and growing together.

In addition to educational reform, the governance structure of the Cultivation World also underwent fundamental changes. The large sects that had previously acted independently began to form an alliance to jointly formulate rules and maintain order. Representatives of rogue cultivators also had a voice and could participate in the formulation of major decisions.

"This is what the true Cultivation World should look like," Taixuan Laozu said, watching the ever-changing developments, his heart filled with emotion, "If Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan could see the current situation, they would surely be very gratified."

As the days passed, the Cultivation World flourished under the new order. Exchanges between different sects became more frequent, and various innovative cultivation methods emerged one after another. Some young cultivators even began to try to integrate the techniques of different sects to create brand-new cultivation systems.

"Perhaps this is the future they wanted to see," Zhang Wuji stood on the high platform of the Alliance Headquarters, looking at the busy cultivation city in the distance, "A new world without prejudice, full of hope."

Huiming Fangzhang walked to his side and pressed his palms together: "Amitabha, the benefactor is right. Although they have left, their spirit lives forever in our hearts, guiding the direction of our progress."

Lin Xuan felt his consciousness slowly awaken from a deep slumber, as if waking from a long, beautiful dream. The first thing he felt was an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if every cell was singing joyfully and every blood vessel was flowing with pure energy.

"Where is this..." He slowly opened his eyes, and the scene before him left him stunned.

This was a mysterious space full of vitality; the sky appeared a pale gold, and although there was no sun, the entire space was shrouded in a soft light. Towering ancient trees reached into the clouds, every leaf shimmering with a jade-like luster, and the trunks were covered in mysterious Runes, emitting an ancient and sacred aura.

Strange flowers and rare grasses were everywhere; some flowers were as large as discs, emitting seven-colored light, while some grass leaves were as thin as silk threads yet contained rich Spirit Qi. The air was filled with Spirit Qi so dense it was almost tangible, and every breath made one feel refreshed, as if it could wash away the dust from the depths of the soul.
