With the Eternal Fire Zhenjun leading the way, Song Shuhang and Venerable White smoothly entered the world of the golden lotus, the greatest secret of the scholarly faction.
The world of the golden lotus had just been created, and there was nothing inside but a vast expanse of whiteness. As soon as one entered, they would feel as though they had entered a small black room … hmm, or perhaps it should be called a 'big white room'? Staying in this vast expanse of whiteness for too long would cause them to have a mental breakdown, just like staying in a small black room for too long.
The world of the golden lotus was very big, and although it had just been created and hadn't been nourished yet, it was still incomparably vast. Song Shuhang couldn't see the end of it with a single glance. In addition, Song Shuhang could sense that the world of the golden lotus was still growing and expanding at a rapid pace.
Compared to this huge 'world of the golden lotus', having a space the size of several mu of farmland, an immortal cave, or a small sect with him was nothing.
Even though the world of the golden lotus had just been created, it had the size of a big city, and it was still continuously expanding.
If one were to become the master of the world of the golden lotus, they would become the master of an entire city with them. In addition, the city was continuously expanding. After being nourished in the future, it could expand even faster … In the future, it could even become a 'portable China', a 'portable seven continents', and a 'portable Earth Mama' — just thinking about it made it feel great.
After all, the world of the golden lotus was a small world. Actually, it was more appropriate to call it the 'world of the golden lotus' now.
… …
… …
At this time, in the world of the golden lotus.
The higher-ups of the scholarly faction were gathered here, and all of them were looking at the 'world of the golden lotus' with pleasant surprise. Some of them were even squatting on the ground, stretching out their hands and stroking the vast expanse of whiteness.
This was a real world. After the world of the golden lotus was created, as long as there was enough nourishment, it would be able to grow land and rivers.
The world of the golden lotus was full of spiritual qi, even richer than the outside world of the White Cloud Academy.
"This is the future of the scholarly faction!" a great scholar said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
As long as they spent a hundred years modifying this place, they would be able to turn it into the headquarters of the scholarly faction.
In this place, the disciples of the scholarly faction could wholeheartedly practice and grow in peace.
In this place, the disciples of the scholarly faction didn't have to worry about the sudden attacks of the Netherworld Realm.
"Hundreds and thousands of years of hard work have not been in vain." An old Confucian scholar laughed heartily — their sacrifice had not been in vain, their efforts had not been in vain. As long as the space of the Golden Lotus existed, everything they had sacrificed was worth it!
Some of the 'younger' Confucian disciples even began to bawl at the top of their lungs.
They might cry, laugh, sing, or recite poems … Among the disciples of the Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian sects, the disciples of the Confucian sects were the best at revealing their true feelings and not suppressing them.
Song Shuhang and Venerable White looked at the excited scholarly disciples and could feel their joy.
"Senior Eternal Fire, there's not much time left. There's no time to lose. Please perform the Branding Dance," Song Shuhang said to the Eternal Fire Zhenjun through Secret Sound Transmission.
Before Senior White Two came looking for him, that existence in the Netherworld Realm that wasn't any weaker than Senior White Two had already left its mark in the world of the black lotus.
Therefore, he had to speed things up.
Otherwise, it would be too late if the opposite party managed to control the world of the black lotus and found a way to use it as a springboard to enter the world of the Golden Lotus.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun nodded his head with a serious expression on his face.
Then, in front of everyone, the Perfected Monarch began to perform the Branding Dance.
If it were any other time, the serious-looking Eternal Fire Zhenjun would definitely attract the attention of all the scholars if he were to perform a strange dance in front of everyone.
But today was an exception.
All the disciples of the scholarly faction were in a state of joy. Some were laughing, some were crying, some were shouting, some were singing, some were reciting poems, and some were dancing.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun was too happy, and it wasn't a big deal for him to perform a dance. Even if he danced a little strangely and fancily, no one would blame him afterward. In fact, there was even an old teacher of the Seventh Stage Venerable level who liked to hide in his room and dance in the square. The majority of the people of the scholarly faction knew about this, but no one dared to mention it in front of that old scholar.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun started to perform the dance. First, he performed the beautiful modern Ghostly Steps. While dancing, his body would violently spin. At the same time, two rays of light would appear on his hands, and he would imprint Runes in the air in a rhythmic manner.
While imprinting the Runes, his hands would dance, leaving behind a long trail of light.
Several scholarly disciples turned their heads around and took out their mobile phones, digital cameras, and other equipment, aiming at Eternal Fire Zhenjun and taking pictures.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun's fair face flushed red …
I'm doing this for the thousand-year great cause of the scholarly faction. I'm sacrificing myself for the sake of the scholarly faction.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun comforted himself like this.
After the Ghostly Steps … Eternal Fire Zhenjun's Branding Dance was still going on. During this dance, he even interspersed it with a dazzling dance called the Butterfly Steps.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun was a cultivator of the Sixth Stage, and he knew every part of his body like the back of his hand. No matter what he wanted to do, he only needed to think about it, and his body would automatically jump into the most accurate posture. The few Butterfly Steps he interspersed with completely achieved the feeling of a soft butterfly under his feet.
Beautiful!
The spectating scholarly disciples wished that they could whistle for Eternal Fire Zhenjun.
After the charming Butterfly Steps, Eternal Fire Zhenjun's style changed, and he switched to the explosive 'Thomas's Great Spin'.
As he danced, one Runes after another were imprinted in the air by Eternal Fire Zhenjun.
This time, the scholarly disciples couldn't help but applaud. Who would've thought that Eternal Fire Zhenjun was such a reserved teacher?
He actually learned so many modern dances in secret!
… …
… …
[I'm doing this for the thousand-year great cause of the scholarly faction + 1. I'm sacrificing myself for the scholarly faction + 1.]
Eternal Fire Zhenjun gritted his teeth as if he was being hypnotized.
Finally, after the final big spin, Eternal Fire Zhenjun leaped up and pressed his palm against the air, leaving behind the final imprint.
It was over!
"Did you succeed?" Song Shuhang and Venerable White simultaneously asked through secret sound transmission.
"I don't know yet. Let me rest for a bit," Eternal Fire Zhenjun replied.
Eternal Fire Zhenjun closed his eyes and carefully sensed the 'imprints' in the air. After the Branding Dance was over, the imprints that Eternal Fire Zhenjun had left behind in the air completely dissipated.
However … even though these imprints had dissipated, they didn't disappear. Eternal Fire Zhenjun faintly discovered that a connection had been formed between him and the world of the golden lotus.
As the world of the golden lotus continued to develop and take shape, the connection between Eternal Fire Zhenjun and it became stronger and stronger. At the same time, Eternal Fire Zhenjun had a feeling that the world of the golden lotus had become an extension of his body. He and the world of the golden lotus had become one!
"I succeeded," Eternal Fire Zhenjun said happily as he opened his eyes.
"That's great." Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief. With this, the task and information that Senior White Two had given him had been completed.
Now that Eternal Fire Zhenjun had become the master of the world of the golden lotus, he now had the strength to resist the invasion of the world of the black lotus. At this time, the scholarly faction had finally grasped the 'future', and was no longer stuck in a deadlock with the Netherworld Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire, I wish you all the best," Venerable White said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Saber and Fellow Daoist White. In particular, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Saber. From now on, you are the most honored guest of our scholarly faction, "Eternal Fire Zhenjun said resolutely.
"Senior Eternal Fire, you are too polite," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
…
…
The opening ceremony of the scholarly faction was officially opened, and the white-haired old man of the scholarly faction gave a speech.
As it turned out, even for cultivators, the speech of the headmaster was an unavoidable part of the opening ceremony.
As he listened, Song Shuhang got somewhat sleepy and started to get absent-minded.
But right at this time, Venerable White's mobile phone buzzed. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Huang Shan.
After reading the message, Venerable White said in a soft voice, "Oh, I forgot to pay the 'spiritual qi fee'."
"Hmm?" Song Shuhang turned his head around in puzzlement. "What's a 'spiritual qi fee'?"
"How should I describe it? Spiritual qi fee is roughly the same as the 'water, electricity, and natural gas fees' that you guys are using right now." Venerable White explained, "Due to the passage of time, before the next 'spiritual energy tide' arrives, the spiritual qi in the world will become thinner. As a result, the immortal caves that some cultivators live in will have insufficient spiritual qi. Meditating, cultivating, and cultivating spiritual plants will become very troublesome. However, it would be a pity to abandon one's own immortal cave. At this time, cultivators can look for a few sects that sell 'spiritual qi' and buy spiritual energy. For example, I chose the [Rising Sun Spiritual Energy Sect]. After paying them some spirit stones every few years or a hundred years, they will send spiritual qi to your immortal cave from their 'large-scale spiritual veins, spiritual rivers, and other sources of spiritual qi'. The last time I went into secluded meditation, I took quite a long time. After coming out, I still haven't had the time to pay the spiritual qi fee for this season. "
"…" Song Shuhang felt that he didn't know where to start ridiculing. Cultivators really know how to play around.
At the same time, he asked curiously, "Senior White, you have so many immortal caves, could it be that you're still lacking in spiritual qi?"
Senior White was a man who could pick up treasures just by bending down. Even a random holiday villa of his was a medium-sized sect, so how could he possibly be lacking in spiritual qi?
Also, did the 'spiritual energy tide' mean that there would be a large wave of spiritual qi surging over?
