152: Chapter 151 Maoshan in Super God Academy: I've Become the Founding Master?
In the empty high altitude of the South China Sea, only Lin Lei was left hovering alone in mid-air.
Looking at the vast sea on his left and the empty horizon on his right, he was truly quite helpless.
Duyuan went to reorganize Buddhism, and Ye Qingxuan took Bai Yuekui to Mao Shan to spread the Dao, dumbly leaving him behind all by himself in place.
Lin Lei scratched his head, feeling somewhat amused yet exasperated.
Forget it, if he was forgotten, then so be it.
He quickly adjusted his mindset, and his gaze became firm. Since Big Brother Ye and Duyuan had both gone to spread the Dao, he could not fall behind either.
They spread the Immortal Dao and Buddhist Dao, so he would go spread martial arts!
Lin Lei's figure flashed, his surging Qi and blood violently exploding as he galloped straight towards North Star of this Realm.
Martial arts were suitable for everyone; what could be a more convenient tool than the state apparatus?
He wanted to let this world, polluted by a deformed system, witness what true ultimate Physical Body martial arts were.
At the same time, in the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room, bullet comments densely covered the screen.
["Hahahaha, the pitiful Martial Ancestor! He was directly left behind by everyone!"]
["It's laughing me to death, only Lin Lei is left fluttering in the wind in disarray!"]
["However, to rectify the source, martial arts must also be spread!"]
["The moon wheel is definitely a Magical Artifact for Boss Bai! Her looks and temperament perfectly adapt to female Cultivators!"]
["Daoist Ye seems to have more than one Dao Companion. As far as I know, Daoist Qingling is very skilled in Alchemy."]
["That's right, during the last Grand Ritual of Luotian at Mao Shan, quite a few of that batch of Creation Pills were refined by Daoist Qingling."]
Master Yuanxin looked at the live broadcast bullet comments and chuckled leisurely: "Having thoroughly swept away the Evil Paths of that world, the general trend has formed, and their mission is almost complete."
Celestial Master Zhang's eyes were full of excitement as he closely stared at the live broadcast room, full of anticipation for Ye Qingxuan's formal spreading of the Dao.
National Destiny Space ——
Holding Bai Yuekui's hand, Ye Qingxuan arrived at Mao Shan in an instant.
All Daoist School Disciples in the Super God World gathered here, numbering nearly ten thousand. During the previous Dao exposition, Ye Qingxuan introduced himself, stating he was a sixty-third-generation Disciple of the Shangqing Sect.
The Taoists of this Realm had heard legends of the heavens and myriad worlds since they were young, knowing that he was a Shangqing expert who came from another world.
The one currently in charge of Mao Shan in this Realm was the seventy-fourth-generation Sect Head of Shangqing. In terms of seniority, Ye Qingxuan could be considered his Ancestral Master. All the Taoists had long expected that Ye Qingxuan would personally visit Mao Shan,
and they were all waiting here with hearts full of pilgrimage intent, discussing endlessly all around.
Just as everyone was conversing, Ye Qingxuan and Bai Yuekui materialized out of thin air.
Gazes of all the Taoists fell upon Ye Qingxuan, who wore Daoist robes and looked like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world, with Bai Yuekui by his side possessing peerless beauty and unmatched grace. Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Shangqing Sect Leader Xiujing walked forward quickly, performed the highest etiquette of the Daoist School, bowed down to worship, and saluted loudly: "Seventy-fourth-generation Sect Head of Shangqing, Xiujing, pays respects to the Ancestral Master!"
As Xiujing's voice fell, the hundreds of Shangqing Disciples behind him and all the other Daoist School Disciples imitated him, kneeling together and shouting in unison to pay respects to the Ancestral Master.
Such a grand scene of worship instead left Ye Qingxuan fluttering in the wind in disarray for a moment.
Bai Yuekui turned her head to look at Ye Qingxuan with curiosity and asked softly: "Qingxuan, why do they call you Ancestral Master?"
Just as Bai Yuekui's voice fell, all the Taoists below once again bowed down in unison, neatly shouting: "Disciples pay respects to the Ancestral Grandmother!"
A single cry of Ancestral Grandmother instantly caused Bai Yuekui's cheeks to flush red.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan was completely speechless, secretly lamenting: How did I actually become an Ancestral Master?
As expected of Daoist School Disciples, this bunch really knew how to handle things.
The bullet comments in the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room instantly scrolled wildly.
["As expected of Daoist Lord, this flattering skill is truly able to bend and stretch!"]
["This is a real Taoist! What is face worth? Getting benefits is better than anything else!"]
["The Dao is not a rigid bondage. Meeting a mighty figure like Daoist Ye, whatever random Opportunity leaks through his fingers would be enough for them to Cultivate for a lifetime. If it were me, I would kneel even faster than them!"]
["Taoists have heard legends of immortals since they were young, and now a True Immortal is right in front of them. Of course they have to seize the Opportunity to get closer!"]
["However, I really didn't expect them to actually call my younger sister Ancestral Grandmother?"]
["Is the person upstairs Boss Bai's brother, Bai Yuetian?"]
["That's right."]
["How normal. If they are real Taoists, no matter which world they are in, they are all all-around talents. Reading expressions and observing situations is the most basic skill."]
["That's right, as long as one's eyes aren't blind, anyone can tell that Boss Bai's gaze towards Daoist Ye is practically stringing silk."]
...
In the CCTV Broadcast Room,
Little Nun observed the expressions of the three big shots, but unfortunately gained nothing, and could only look at the analysis of the witty netizens in the bullet comments.
The expressions of Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Master Kongming were calm, unperturbed by this.
In their eyes, such a scene was truly common. Which of the Sect Heads of various Schools wasn't thick-skinned and black-hearted? With a great Opportunity placed right before their eyes, what was wrong with calling someone Ancestral Master or Ancestral Grandmother?
National Destiny Space ——
Looking at Bai Yuekui's flushed cheeks, Ye Qingxuan smiled softly and explained:
"In all heavens and myriad worlds, the founding ancestor of all Shangqing Sects is Madam Wei. Madam Wei is a Disciple under the seat of Lishan Laomu, a Golden Immortal mighty figure.
Whenever someone Cultivates to become a Golden Immortal, their own Dao will spread to all parts of the heavens. When a world captures that Dao rhyme, it will automatically evolve a Madam Wei. The Madam Wei of each world can be considered the other-ego of that Golden Immortal in the Upper Realm.
As fellow members under the Shangqing lineage, the source ancestor they worship is inherently the same person. I am ranked sixty-third in the Shangqing, and their Realm is the seventy-fourth generation. In terms of seniority, it is only natural for them to call me Ancestral Master."
Ye Qingxuan paused slightly here and continued: "If I Cultivate into a Golden Immortal in the future, my Dao will also drift across the heavens and myriad worlds, and various Realms will also evolve countless mes."
"If I can go a step further and attain the Daluo Dao Fruit, all my other-egos across the heavens and myriad worlds will also completely be my true self."
As his voice fell, he gently patted his forehead; he had spoken a bit too deeply just now on a whim. Facing Bai Yuekui's gaze full of doubts:
"The Daluo Realm is still too far away from you. Once you achieve Immortal Ascension, I will explain it to you again."
Bai Yuekui recovered her composure, looked at the Taoists present who were obviously not from Shangqing, and asked: "Then, what about them?"
"They also belong to Daoist School Disciples, worshipping the Three Pure Ones Ancestral Masters, and their seniority is even lower than mine. Calling me Ancestral Master is indeed not a problem."
After hearing these words, the group of Taoists kneeling below felt turbulent waves churn in their hearts, full of shock.
Sect Head Xiujing secretly made a victory sign in his heart, ecstatic at the bottom of his heart: He had bet right!
The person before him was definitely a Shangqing Senior. With this mighty figure's guidance, the Shangqing lineage would surely soar straight up in the future.
Ye Qingxuan felt a bit awkward in his heart, but after a second thought, he let it go.
He had undergone Reincarnation for a hundred lives; in terms of psychological age, he was already several thousand years old, and having cultivated in the heavens pagoda for three hundred years, he was a solid Cultivator of over three hundred years old.
A group of seventy or eighty-year-old old men calling him Ancestral Master was indeed without fault; it was just that he himself hadn't gotten used to the fact that he had lived for over three hundred years.
Bai Yuekui listened with half-understanding, but she figured out one thing.
Her own man had an ultra-high seniority in this world, being more than a dozen generations higher than these old Taoists, and inexplicably, she became of the grandmother generation.
Although it felt a bit strange, she could accept it, after all she had raised a group of people in her own world anyway, even though those people looked older than her.
Looking at the large pile of Daoist School Disciples below, Ye Qingxuan spoke:
"All of you rise. Our Daoist School emphasizes the Dao following nature; don't practice yourselves into kowtowing bugs."
The group of Taoists looked at each other, quickly stood up, and patted their pants.
In their hearts, they were all certain that this was definitely an orthodox Daoist School expert, and his demeanor was impeccable.
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the nearly ten thousand Taoists present and had a count in his heart.
More than half of the people had cultivated to the first layer of Qi Refining.
Previously, there was no Spiritual Qi in this world, and this group of Taoists spent their lives studying Daoist books and polishing their Heart-Nature, making their foundation exceptionally stable.
Since he had previously imparted Daoist methods, it was equivalent to directly opening the door to cultivation for them, allowing them to easily enter the threshold.
The dozen or so Sect Heads of various Schools present had cultivation bases basically at the second or third layer of Qi Refining.
The one with the highest cultivation was Shangqing Sect Leader Xiujing, who was at the third layer of Qi Refining and almost reaching the fourth layer.
Ye Qingxuan glanced across the entire venue. Right now, the entire Mao Shan was packed to the brim, and basically all large and small Schools of the Daoist School had arrived.
He was clear about the intentions of these people. Raising his hand with a flick, dozens of Jade Slips flew out from thin air, landing precisely into the hands of the Sect Heads of various Schools.
Tianshi Mansion, Wudang Mountain, Chunyang Palace, Longmen Sect, Quanzhen Sect, Baiyun Temple, Shenxiao Sect, Qingcheng Sect, etc., all the Sect Heads of major Daoist sects present received their exclusive Jade Slips.
Holding the Jade Slips, the Sect Heads looked at each other in a daze, unable to understand what this big shot meant by suddenly distributing Jade Slips.
Ye Qingxuan directly explained: "Inside the Jade Slips are the Cultivation Techniques of your respective Schools."
"For the next period of time, I will stay at Mao Shan. Anyone of you who has questions you don't understand or figure out can come ask me at any time."
"Afterwards, all of you go down the mountain to spread the Dao. Widely spread the concepts and basic cultivation methods of the Daoist School to the world."
All major Daoist sects had obtained the exclusive Cultivation Techniques belonging to their own Schools.
The Taoists from those minor Schools and ordinary ancestral temples looked bewildered. Their Schools had never produced any Seniors who achieved Immortal Ascension, so naturally they had no exclusive inherited Cultivation Techniques. The group of people looked at each other, standing in place at a loss.
Seeing this in his eyes, Ye Qingxuan spoke: "The core of Daoist School cultivation is the Dual Cultivation of Nature and Life. Whether you Cultivate nature first or life first, the ultimate goal is the same."
Finished speaking, he raised his hand with a wave, and a huge wordless stone monument fell out of thin air into the center of the square.
His hands quickly formed hand incantations, and streams of Sword Qi struck into the interior of the stone monument, branding the entire set of complete cultivation methods thoroughly within it.
The stone monument flashed with a blue-gold light, which slowly retracted, turning back into a wordless monument.
"I have left the complete cultivation method inside this stone monument. Cultivators without Cultivation Techniques can all step forward to comprehend it themselves. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your own Opportunity."
After giving instructions, Ye Qingxuan said no more, casually throwing a Storage Pouch to Xiujing, and directly instructed: "Inside are some cultivation resources. Go prepare a quiet room for me."
Xiujing hurriedly saluted: "Yes, this Disciple will arrange it right away."
After finishing, Xiujing signaled his Disciple to lead the way, and that Disciple hurriedly guided the way: "Ancestral Master, Ancestral Grandmother, please follow this Disciple!"
Ye Qingxuan lifted his foot and walked towards the Three Pure Ones Hall, with Bai Yuekui closely following behind him.
The Taoists present hurriedly and proactively yielded a wide path, quietly and respectfully watching the two walk into the main hall.
As soon as Ye Qingxuan left, the entire Mao Shan square completely exploded with noise.
The Sect Heads of the major Schools immediately gathered around Shangqing Sect Leader Xiujing, opening the mode of frenemies bickering with each other.
The current Celestial Master of Tianshi Mansion, named Zhang Xuancheng, took the lead to banter:
"Xiujing, oh Xiujing, you really stepped in massive good luck! You directly hugged the Ancestral Master's thick thigh!"
Wudang Sect Head Yunbai also crowded forward with a sour expression: "It makes this old man envy to death! Being equally Sect Heads of the Daoist School, why is it that you, Xiujing, have such good fortune to receive the Ancestral Master personally visiting to spread the Dao, while we can only follow along to share some light!"
Chunyang Palace Sect Head, Daoist Qinghe teased: "Old Xiujing, honestly confess, did you secretly accumulate tens of thousands of years of Karma? For an ancestral-level mighty figure to visit and spread the Dao, we wouldn't even dare to think about it!"
Longmen Sect Head Zizhen laughed out loud and debunked: "Don't let this old fellow be proud for too long! Acting all innocent after taking advantage, in the future, Disciples from all our Schools will come to Mao Shan to freeload on Opportunities and eat them into poverty!"
Baiyun Temple Abbot Mingde chimed in to banter: "That's right! From now on, whenever the Ancestral Master transmits the Dharma, expounds the Dao, or bestows Opportunities, all our Schools will come and eat you into poverty!"
The various Sect Heads of the Shenxiao Sect and Qingcheng Sect also joined in the commotion, tossing words back and forth—all of them jokes between frenemies.
Everyone looked at Xiujing with eyes full of envy and jealousy, but without malice.
When all is said and done, the Daoist School of the world is one family; occasional competition and bickering between major Schools on ordinary days actually made their relationship closer.
Those who could cast aside worldly fame and fortune and wholeheartedly enter the Dao to Cultivate in the flashy modern society all passed the test in terms of Heart-Nature.
Cultivating the Dao emphasizes affinity; no matter how high a person's talent is without affinity, they cannot step into the Great Dao of the Daoist School.
Therefore, while these Sect Heads bickered, bantered, and made sour remarks with every sentence, their hearts were crystal clean without the slightest bit of scheming—it was purely everyday joking among old friends.
Surrounded and teased by everyone, Xiujing laughed from ear to ear, his heart already blooming with joy.
Who could have thought that their Mao Shan could actually welcome the Shangqing Ancestral Master in person to spread the Dao!
Facing a group of old friends collectively feeling sour towards him, Xiujing wasn't flustered at all, smiling with a smug expression and talking back on the spot.
"Hahaha, being envious is right! The heavens share the same origin; what the Ancestral Master recognizes is the Shangqing lineage, not me, Xiujing. It's useless for you guys to be sour!"
"Also, wanting to come to my Mao Shan to freeload on Opportunities is fine, but the rules are set right here. Once you come, you must abide by my Mao Shan's rules, honestly comprehending the Dao and cultivating. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will kick them out directly!"
"Besides, everyone is a member of the Daoist School, and Opportunities are meant to be shared together. You old fellows, though you sound sour with your mouths, who knows how envious you are in your hearts!"
The several Sect Heads were rebuked to the point of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, instantly erupting into laughter and curses. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.
On the square, the Disciples of various Schools also began to discuss in low voices.
The Mao Shan Disciples straightened their backs one by one, their faces full of pride:
"Did you see that! Our Mao Shan is the heavenly Shangqing lineage! The Ancestral Master has personally descended; our School will definitely take off from now on!"
"Too shocking! Having lived a whole lifetime, this is the first time I've seen a True Immortal spread the Dao!"
Tianshi Mansion Disciples exclaimed one after another:
"So damn sour! Being equally a renowned major School, why didn't the Seniors of my Tianshi Mansion come?"
["..." Zhang Yuzhuo lurking in the live broadcast room: Was it that this poor Daoist didn't want to come? It was that I couldn't damn well get in!!! Also, this poor Daoist has remembered you!!] Zhang Yuzhuo stared fixedly at this Tianshi Mansion Disciple, wanting to engrave his appearance into his mind!
"Still, it's fine. With the Ancestral Master's Dao monument here, we can also follow along to comprehend the Dao, which is also a great Opportunity."
The Disciples of Wudang, Chunyang Palace, Qingcheng and other Schools also conversed one after another:
"The Ancestral Master's vision is truly grand: giving exclusive Cultivation Techniques to major sects and leaving a universal Dao monument for minor sects, completely unbiased."
"Cultivate well in the future and follow the Ancestral Master."
Taoists from minor Schools were even more excited to the extreme:
"Small Taoist temples like ours without a Legacy originally had no path left to walk. Now having a Dao monument to comprehend is equivalent to directly defying the heavens and changing our fate!"
"To be able to encounter a True Immortal spreading the Dao in this lifetime, it was worth it!"
At the same time, the bullet comments in the global National Fortune Live Broadcast Room scrolled wildly. Countless netizens looked at the scene of various Sect Heads bickering and bantering, flooding the screen with messages.
["I'm laughing to death. These Daoists are actually so fun in private, exactly like the old men visiting each other and mutually roasting in daily life!"]
["Celestial Master Zhang of that world is so sour it's almost written on his face. Old Taoist Xiujing's smug look made me laugh to death."]
["If it were me, I would be envious too. Directly hugging the thigh of the heavens' Ancestral Master—what kind of ceiling-level Opportunity is this!"]
["However, having said that, those Daoists were just joking. You can tell their relationship is genuinely good, with no bad intentions."]
["Daoist Ye is truly magnanimous, not playing favorites: distributing exclusive Cultivation Techniques to major sects and leaving a stone monument for minor Schools to comprehend the Dao."]
["Envy all the Taoists of this world for being able to listen to a Body Integration mighty figure expound the Dao—an Opportunity one couldn't even pray for in dreams."]
["Xiujing's few lines of rebuttal just now were too superb, logical and well-founded, rebuking the various Sect Heads to the point of having nothing to say."]
Inside the CCTV Broadcast Room, Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Master Kongming looked at the bullet comments and smiled at each other.
As one of CCTV's pillars, Little Nun also saw that the words and gazes of those Sect Heads didn't have any malicious intentions:
"As expected of people in the Daoist School, what a bunch of pure seekers of the Dao!"
Celestial Master Zhang chuckled: "The Daoist School of the world is originally one family; such banter and frolicking makes it appear even more authentic."
Master Yuanxin nodded slightly: "People with a heart towards the Dao are all pure seekers of the Dao, which is why they can joke and frolic so uninhibitedly."
Master Kongming: "The Daoist School of that world is fine; look at Duyuan over there—he's almost killing like crazy!"
