The Sky Raising Platform was an open, flat area in front of the Eagle Fall Peak in the Flat Realm. Zhang Yu's doppelganger spent most of his time giving sermons here, apart from walking on the Flat Realm.
Many people came and went to listen to his sermons, and they were all very respectful to him. However, after so many years, there were very few people who could truly enter the Dao and achieve success in their cultivation in the entire Flat Realm.
This was because there was a unique phenomenon in the Flat Realm. Perhaps it was because the spiritual vigor was calm, but there hadn't been any major conflicts between humans and foreign species since the Primordial Age. They each lived in a peaceful place, and the living beings of this realm had very pure minds. They didn't have any intention of fighting. They studied the Dao to prolong their lives and be immune to all diseases.
However, if they were asked to eat wind and drink dew, and cultivate arduously for decades, they would be unwilling. They would rather grow old slowly, happily watching their children and grandchildren surround them, and then return to their peaceful lives for a hundred years.
Thus, these people's cultivation was also abnormally dependent on fate. If they could succeed, they would succeed. If they couldn't, they would do something else. They would toss it to the back of their minds in the blink of an eye, and they didn't have much attachment to it.
Apart from the living beings, foreign species also often came to listen to his sermons. The living beings were also used to it. As time passed, many rare birds and strange beasts appeared at the foot of the mountain. Once these strange beasts began to reproduce, they would migrate to other places.
Over the years, the living beings on the Flat Realm prospered generation after generation. Most of them were the descendants of these strange beasts. Thus, the place where Zhang Yu gave his sermons was also known as the Thousand Spirit Mountain.
Zhang Yu looked at the people of this realm. Their hearts were peaceful, and they stood aloof from worldly affairs. This was a good thing under normal circumstances, but it would be different if a great enemy invaded. They might not have the slightest ability to resist.
His words had once reminded them that a great enemy was about to arrive. These people expressed their willingness to accept it humbly, and they returned to their original unchanging days for thousands of years.
However, he was very clear that the people of this realm would only behave like this at times like these. Once a foreign enemy invaded, they would also rise up in resistance. However, when that time came, the sacrifices would probably be even greater.
On this day, when his sermon ended, the people listening to his sermon dispersed, chatting and laughing. However, there were two people who stayed behind. One was a young man, and the other was a young girl.
He glanced at them and said, "Everyone has left. Why haven't you all left?"
The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a hint of stubbornness in his expression. He was also taller than his peers. At this moment, he stood up from his seat and bowed to him. He said loudly, "Mister said that there will be a great calamity. This junior is willing to listen more. This way, when the calamity comes, I can help everyone."
Zhang Yu said slowly, "How many people can you save by yourself?"
The young man said loudly, "I know I can't do it, and I can't convince others either. But I have a way. I will have more children and tell them that there is a great disaster in this world. I will let them cultivate and have more children." He said confidently, "I can't control others, but I can control my own children and grandchildren."
The young girl beside him, who was originally in a daze, was startled by his words. Then, she burst into laughter.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Your ambition is praiseworthy."
He looked at the young girl and also nodded. Then, he asked for the names of the two people. He found out that the young man was called Cheng Shouzhong and the young girl was called Qin Yueling.
He said, "If you are willing to listen, then you can come back here tomorrow morning."
Cheng Shouzhong was instantly excited and said, "Mister, are you going to teach us spells?"
Zhang Yu did not answer. He only waved his sleeves and stood up from the futon. He walked towards the bamboo forest behind him. The strange creatures who were sitting around listening also stood up and left. Only a sika deer and a white elephant remained there leisurely. They also naturally guarded the path to the mountain.
Cheng Shouzhong was still very excited and asked Qin Yueling again, "Are you going to teach us spells to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground?"
Qin Yueling said, "Won't you know when you come tomorrow?"
Cheng Shouzhong hesitated and said, "Come tomorrow? But what if today's words are to test us? If we leave, won't we miss the opportunity? "
Qin Yueling blinked. Senior Brother, aren't you thinking too much?
Cheng Shouzhong gritted his teeth and said, "I won't go back today. I want to show you my sincerity!"
He looked at Qin Yueling and said, "Junior Sister, you also stayed just now. You must want to learn more advanced spells. Why don't you stay too?"
"Oh …"
Qin Yueling was embarrassed to say that she was distracted. However, when she came back to her senses, everyone had left. She was also embarrassed to leave. When Mister looked at her, she was very guilty.
"Junior Sister is indeed the same as me!" Cheng Shouzhong saw that she did not answer and confirmed himself first.
Qin Yueling did not know whether to laugh or cry. She could also see that this senior brother was an emotional person. No matter what, he would interpret your words in a way that he would understand. However, if he stayed, then so be it. It was quite pitiful for him to stay here alone.
The two of them each went into the forest to pick some fruits and vegetables. When night fell, they saw countless fireflies gathering, illuminating the place with specks of fluorescent light, making it seem like a dream. The spirit beasts in the forest were also very human-like. At this time, they also took the initiative to come over and hug them for warmth. Although the wind on the mountain was strong and the night dew was high, it was not a difficult night.
On the second day, a voice came from above. "Come up the mountain."
Cheng Shouzhong was instantly full of energy. He called Qin Yueling and rolled up his sleeves to walk up the mountain path.
He had already started to fill in the follow-up in his mind. There must be endless mountains ahead. After walking past one after another, he would reach the peak. Mister would definitely teach him earnestly and tell him that the path was endless. After some encouragement, he would pass down the true spells.
He thought that it would be a long journey, but he didn't expect that he would reach the top of the mountain in less than an hour. He was immediately dumbfounded. This was completely different from what he had imagined. There was no test at all.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "This time, I'm asking you to go up the mountain to listen to the Dao. The principles are all in the spells. You don't have to experience anything else. Sit down."
The two of them responded and bowed respectfully. They sat down on the praying mat in front of him.
At this time, the two of them looked at Zhang Yu. They saw him sitting there with his sleeves fluttering. Behind him was the rising sun. The sea of clouds was instantly dyed with a layer of golden light. He really had the demeanor of a deity. They could not help but yearn for him.
Zhang Yu started to recite. The clear voice spread down from the peak of the mountain. It drifted from the plains to the sea and into the mountains and rivers. For a time, all the spiritual beasts on the mountain bent down to listen.
After some time, Qin Yueling heard a chime and woke up. Aiya, she seemed to be distracted again.
Zhang Yu looked at her and asked, "How much did you listen to?"
Qin Yueling was slightly embarrassed. "Mister, I don't think I heard anything just now."
Zhang Yu nodded and looked at Cheng Shouzhong. "How much did you listen to?"
Cheng Shouzhong was distressed. "I remember that Mister said a lot of things, but I can't remember them at the moment."
Zhang Yu said, "It's okay if you can't remember. When it's time to remember, you will remember. Today's lesson is over. Go down the mountain and come back tomorrow."
When Cheng and Qin saw this, they couldn't help but feel surprised. Unknowingly, it was already noon, but they felt that it was just a matter of a moment. Moreover, after sitting for so long, not only did they not feel uncomfortable, they felt warm all over. They felt that all their meridians were unobstructed, and their minds were unprecedentedly lively.
The two of them knew that they had benefited. They bowed respectfully to Zhang Yu and went down the mountain.
Zhang Yu was still sitting there. His preaching of Dao was just to let their Qi flow unconsciously along with his voice. It didn't matter how much they listened, and it didn't matter if they remembered it or not. Naturally, they would be able to understand the meaning, and from there, they would be able to see the best of it.
This was also the best method that was suitable for the Dao of this world. However, he would only teach and pass down this method to those who were willing to take on the heavy responsibility.
However, this method was not without obstacles. As long as the cultivator was slightly tired, resistant, or doubtful, then they would not be able to continue. Thus, how far they could learn would depend on how long the two of them could persevere.
In the depths of the Clear Sky Cloud Sea, Chief Enforcer Chen used his talisman to go to the various enforcers after everyone had left. Not long after, he returned.
After pondering for a while, he came to the Deep Hook Dao Palace where he used to live. He ordered Daoist Ming Zhou to invite everyone from the various Dao factions over.
When everyone arrived, he first bestowed some mystical rations. Then, he explained some matters to everyone and asked them to cooperate with Xuanting. The people of the various factions also expressed their willingness to obey Xuanting's orders.
After the matter was settled, everyone bowed to him and dispersed.
Chief Enforcer Chen sat there by himself, still repeatedly deducing what would happen next in his mind. At this moment, a light flashed in the hall. Daoist Ming Zhou appeared at the side and said, "Chief Enforcer, Lin Tingzhi is here."
Chief Enforcer Chen said, "Let him in."
Not long after, Lin Tingzhi entered the hall. He bowed to him and said, "Chief Enforcer, greetings."
Chief Enforcer Chen returned the greeting and said, "Does Lin Tingzhi have something to report?"
Lin Tingzhi said, "That's not it. It's just that I felt some movement in my cultivation today. It seems like an opportunity has arrived. Therefore, I want to ask Chief Enforcer for some leniency."
Chief Enforcer Chen stared at him for a moment and nodded. "I see. Lin Tingzhi, if you can achieve something, you will be of great help to my Tianxia. You don't have to participate in this battle. Go back and cultivate in seclusion. "
Lin Tingzhi took out a scroll from his sleeve and said, "This is my life's cultivation experience. If it doesn't return, I ask Chief Enforcer to pass it on to future generations."
Solemnly Chief Enforcer Chen received it. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and a golden talisman fell into his hand. He handed it over and said, "Since half a year ago when I learned that Lin Tingzhi had cultivated to such a high level, I have prepared this talisman for you."
Lin Tingzhi received it. He understood that when the time came, he only needed to use this golden talisman. The enforcers would open up everything for him. He could also try to complete the cultivation method.
He bowed again and said, "Many thanks, Chief Enforcer. I will take my leave now." As he said this, he left this place.
Chief Enforcer Chen watched him leave. Ever since he entered the Xuanting, he had always followed the former Chief Enforcer Zhuang. He could be considered one of the most experienced people in the Xuanting.
Only, the path he walked was different from others, so he didn't achieve anything for a long time. However, once he made a breakthrough, all of his past accumulations surged forth. In a short period of time, he wanted to complete the cultivation method.
He was confident that Lin Tingzhi would be able to pass this trial. Even though he couldn't make it in time for this counterattack, Tianxia would undoubtedly have another person to rely on in future battles.
