Chapter 10

"Good, good, good. All of you enter my Lingxu Dongtian; you will absolutely not regret today's decision."

One of the old men stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.

"There is no time to lose; let us return to the Dongtian immediately so we can teach you the Method of Cultivation as soon as possible and let you recover your youth and Life Force." Having said this, several old men nodded, simultaneously waved their sleeves, rainbow light enveloped everyone, each carrying four or five people as they flew toward the distance.

How impatient they are!

A great harvest, a great harvest! Wei Wei is indeed an Immortal Seedling of my Lingxu Dongtian.

A most ordinary exploration actually brought thirty seeds of good aptitude; we must return at the fastest speed, lest other shameless Dongtian poach the seed Disciples.

Within the Yan Realm, there are six Great Cave Heavens, and Lingxu Dongtian is one of them, but in recent decades, Lingxu Dongtian has lacked successors and gradually fallen behind the other five Great Cave Heavens. Among the young Disciples, only Wei Wei stands out, but precisely because she is too outstanding, the sect did not want to delay her Cultivation and recommended her to the Yaoguang Holy Land. It is likely that the Dongtian will suffer a break in succession; therefore, after the several old men examined everyone's aptitude, they urgently hoped everyone would join Lingxu Dongtian.

Along the way, the several old men took the opportunity to promote the might of their own sect to everyone.

"Our Lingxu Dongtian is a subordinate sect of a Holy Land, but its basic Method of Cultivation is absolutely not inferior to that of Holy Lands and Great Sects. In the future, once your Cultivation Levels are profound, the Dongtian can even recommend you to cultivate within the Holy Land."

"Holy Lands are the Dao traditions established by ancient Saints, or even Extreme Dao Great Emperors; any that bear the name of Holy Land are Dao traditions that overlook all under Heaven, and our Lingxu Dongtian is precisely inherited from the Yaoguang Holy Land."

"If in the future, among you there appears a peerless prodigy, it is not impossible to enter the Holy Land, receive the true transmission of the Holy Land, and let your Cultivation Path go even further."

Everyone listened seriously to the old men's introductions, silently memorizing them. Upon arriving in a strange place, the first thing to do was to familiarize themselves with the basic common sense of this strange place.

"Lingxu Dongtian is located in the Yan Kingdom. Within the Yan Realm, the six Great Cave Heavens span three thousand li, and on the Eastern Wasteland Land, there are countless kingdoms the size of the Yan Kingdom. Even powerful experts who have achieved success in Cultivation cannot leave the Eastern Wasteland within their lifetimes."

"The Eastern Wasteland, Nanling, Ximo, Beiyuan, Zhongzhou."

"Holy Lands, Great Emperors, the Demon Race, Ancient Aristocratic Families, Extreme Dao Emperor Soldiers."

Everyone was shocked by the vast worldview. This is an incomparably huge world; the Cultivation civilization is incomparably prosperous, and powerful cultivators are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

The several old men of Lingxu Dongtian held great expectations for this group. With the aptitude of these thirty people, entering the Holy Land is possible, especially Jiang Xuan; even placed in the Holy Land, he would likely be a seed contestant of the first echelon, with the potential to compete for Holy Son.

As time passed, the rainbow light gradually slowed, and finally the group stopped beneath an ancient mountain peak filled with immortal mist. Nearby was a giant boulder tens of meters high, carved with the two characters Lingxu.

Within the Sect Gate, clear springs flowed over stones, Immortal Cranes soared into the sky, pavilions and palaces stood tall, and immortal herb medicine fields were dotted about—a truly celestial scene.

"Is this the sect where we cultivate? It is truly magnificent, far more grand than the cultivation sects on television."

"It is truly a Mortal World Fairyland."

"Hehe, we have arrived. This is our Lingxu Dongtian." After arriving at the Sect Gate, the several old men looked somewhat relaxed.

Not long after, someone in the Dongtian was specifically responsible for arranging lodgings for the group. Jiang Xuan, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo looked the youngest and seemed most suitable for Cultivation, so they were assigned to nearby thatched cottages, while the other classmates were arranged uniformly.

Lingxu Dongtian is indeed an immortal sect. Although the lodgings are thatched cottages, these cottages are not truly made of ordinary grass; they are refined from gathered spirit herbs through a series of Methods. Cultivating within the thatched cottage has the effect of concentrating the spirit and guarding the one. If a Mortal lives in such a cottage for a long time, it has the effect of strengthening the body and physique.

After settling down, with nothing to do, Jiang Xuan began to contemplate the path ahead.

"The greatest Fortune is undoubtedly the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror. Although at the current stage I can only passively wait for the treasure to absorb and refresh, and the treasure refreshes without any pattern, even so it has given me great help."

"Being able to absorb the coordinates of the Tianlong World, perhaps in the future I cannot absorb the coordinates of even more powerful worlds. Now that I have entered Lingxu Dongtian, I no longer need to worry about the Cultivation environment and cultivation arts."

"The Treasure Mirror is imprinted with Dao Patterns of countless Magic Treasures and divine weapons. Currently, I have no clue; they are too profound. But after entering the Grandmaster Realm, I can barely sense what kind of Magic Treasures these Dao Patterns correspond to. Perhaps in the future I can refine these Magic Treasures." Sensing the Dao Patterns of Magic Treasures within the Treasure Mirror that could cause Destruction of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Xuan's Mind burned with heat.

"Next is the Eight Trigrams Furnace. It was not absorbed of its divine radiance by the Bronze Giant Coffin and can serve as a vessel for the current stage."

Although he had not yet begun cultivating the Zhetian Method, Jiang Xuan had long since decided what kind of vessel he would forge in the future. Especially after sensing the Magic Treasure Dao Patterns within the Treasure Mirror, he had long coveted a certain kind of vessel.

"As for existing cultivation arts, the pitfall-ridden Ten Thousand Prisons Furnace is impossible to cultivate in this lifetime, never to be cultivated. There are many other secret manuals, but in this world they are fundamentally not up to standard. The only one worth taking out, the North Ming Divine Skill, is only considered top-tier in the martial arts world, but it will soon be eliminated."

After Jiang Xuan completed his cultivation of the Innate, he once secretly sneaked into the Huan Shui Pavilion and Langhuan Jade Cave to read many secret manuals to enhance his own Foundation. He is familiar with most martial arts secret manuals of the Tianlong World, and even more so with Bai Xiaosheng and Wang Yuyan's secret manuals.

The morning sun rose, and the morning sunlight was warm and gentle.

Jiang Xuan and the other two sat early in front of the thatched cottage, looking forward to it. Today was the second day since they joined Lingxu Dongtian, and they would be taught the Method of Cultivation.

In the distance, a streak of rainbow light flew over. Within the rainbow light was an old man with crane hair and a childlike face. In a few breaths, he had arrived before them.

"We pay our respects to the Senior. May I ask who you are?"

The three respectfully saluted, looking at this old man with the bearing of an immortal.

"I am an Elder of Lingxu Dongtian, named Wu Qingfeng. Disciples who have entered the gate for three years are all taught by me."

"We pay our respects to the Elder."

"No need to be polite."

Elder Wu Qingfeng was very peaceful. While speaking, several people sat on the ground. The three began to ask about various Cultivation questions; they knew absolutely nothing about Cultivation in this world.

"Do you see this Sky as clean?"

"Ten thousand li without clouds, blue sky like a wash, naturally very clean." Ye Fan answered first. Although he did not know why the old man asked this, seeing the old man look at him, he answered thus.

"Wrong. It is Endless dust."

Elder Wu Qingfeng opened his palm. "Even within this span of a few inches between palm and finger, there is Endless dust."

"What do you think this dust is?"

"Dust is dust. What else could it be?" Pang Bo was puzzled.

"It is dust, and yet it is not dust." The old man's expression was calm, like an immortal beyond the world.

"One flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi. It can be a vast world, or an Endless and infinite world."

Jiang Xuan spoke.

"Very well said. It is precisely so. There are Endless doors leading to worlds in the World, but Mortals cannot discover them. The Essence of Cultivation is the same."

Elder Wu Qingfeng heard Jiang Xuan's words and was full of praise. This young boy has such comprehension; coupled with consuming divine fruits, he is very suitable for Cultivation. As for that sturdy youth Pang Bo, he still needs to be tempered and polished.

"Does the Buddhist verse have this meaning?" Pang Bo felt his culture needed improvement.

"Jiang Xuan is correct. Between dust are Endless worlds. Our bodies are the same."

"Within our bodies are also included Endless and infinite doors, as numerous as the dust between Heaven and Earth. Though the body seems small, it contains countless doors. Constantly developing these doors, discovering the true self—this is Cultivation."

Old man Wu Qingfeng had an expression as calm as an ancient well without waves and asked, "Now, do you understand what Cultivation is?"

Ye Fan frowned tightly, as if in thought.

"I understand." Jiang Xuan spoke.

Pang Bo:???
