Chapter 1136: Myriad Race Conference
In history, some took the path of morality and kindness for sainthood - virtue saints and moral saints.
Others became saints through education and higher studies - scholar saints.
All dao in the world could eventually lead to sainthood. Alas, the paths mentioned above were difficult compared to the traditional ways - Buddhism, dao, martial arts, and mind.
They were easier and the results were tangible, immediately fruitful from the start.
Thus, the appearance of a flute saint was rather significant. Music had positive effects on all.
For example, a song could remove impurities and improve all living beings. Other saints didn’t have the same ability.
In other words, a flute saint among humans could start a golden age of cultivation.
“Look at the fish, they are intelligent now. I bet that no one will be able to fish from this river again since they will know how to dodge. One century either, there will be a couple of fish demons here.” Ximen Chuixiao lay by the sh.o.r.e and commented.
“Brother Yun, that flute saint was your friend, right? Why don’t you ask her to play songs for us again? It’ll give you more time with her on top of giving us more cultivation enlightenment.” The dragon asked Feiyun after seeing the connection.
Feiyun shook his head.
Ximen Chuixiao got up and said: “It’s useless, the saintess had given us all of her enlightenment through that song, it’s just that we grasped so little. That might be our comprehension limit right now. Another song will only make our mind clearer, our cultivation won’t rise as rapidly as before, stop dreaming.”
Feiyun took a deep breath and said: “Cultivation is always one step at a time, even immortals can’t help us ascend that quickly.”
“This is already good enough, I’m at the peak fourth level now. This probably saved me several thousand years or so. Also, it looks like I’m the most talented among us since my cultivation improved the most, haha.” The blood dragon was rather happy after becoming a grand demon monarch.
“No, my comprehension is the best. After listening to the song, I can feel the curse on me weakening. I will be able to break free soon enough.” The turtle disagreed.
“Grandpa, that’s nothing. I’m sure my comprehension is the best. Watch me… transform!” The fruit joined the compet.i.tion as well.
It learned a new technique after listening and turned into a cute turtle - tiny and white, only the size of a fist or so.
It looked just like a miniature version of the old turtle. Now they finally looked like grandpa and grandchild.
“...” The turtle was left speechless.
“I’m finally an adult now, I’ve left my sh.e.l.l.” The fruit said excitedly.
“What egg?” The turtle asked, confused.
“My turtle egg.” The fruit truly believed that he was related to the turtle.
The turtle regretted lying about it but what could he do now? It was too late to tell the fruit the truth - that it had no relatives and was alone in this world.
“Guwui, I’m so happy for you.” The turtle smiled and said.
So who actually benefited the most from the song?
Feiyun observed the slowly-awakening s.h.i.+ Lan. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, eventually shooting out two beams. They looked like polished jades now.
“Did you reach the fifth level?” Feiyun asked.
“Not yet but I did experience a third-level death so my understanding of this realm is more than ten times greater. I just need more time and training before attempting again.” She responded.
Feiyun nodded approvingly, thinking that she might have been the one with the most gains out of the event.
In reality, he also improved greatly, going from 108 bones to 144 bones. Of course, he had a long way to go before becoming a pseudo-saint.
He then told Long Luofu and Feng Qingqing about the new portal to Jin. He wanted to set up several more portals to help connect Heavenly Kingdom to the outside world. This was a way to create more shrines for Supreme.
The second portal was built in Crimson Territory - the first place he visited after coming to Sixth Central.
Liu Suzi had given him land so he decided to give this official seal to Monk Jiu Rou. The monk didn’t want to govern but Feiyun allowed him to spread Buddhism here. This changed the monk’s att.i.tude instantly.
In order to guarantee his territory’s safety, he took a trip to the half-demon alliance.
They heard about his return and were ecstatic. All the seventh-ranked half-demons from the main branch came to visit due to his current reputation.
They heard about how Feiyun had killed King Zhuanlun and helped the royal clan obtain the throne again.
He became an unbeatable legend - the king of the half-demons. In fact, some started wors.h.i.+pping him as a G.o.d.
Currently, he just needed to give out the command and all the half-demons in the world would die for him.
If they were to find out that he was the one to break the curse, his status would soar even more. However, he didn’t think about revealing this since there was no way for other demons to duplicate his method. Moreover, it wasn’t good to stand out. The tallest tree was always. .h.i.t by the strongest wind.
He was glad that not everyone knew about the ident.i.ty of the curse breaker. Otherwise, the entire world would be watching his every move.
He visited Crimson Leaf in order to see Liu Suzi. After all, she was the future successor of Crimson so having her help would keep his territory safe.
Alas, he was told that she had gone to Ethereal Dynasty by a seventh-ranked half-demon.
“The geniuses of Sixth Central have embarked to Ethereal’s Chaos City for the Myriad Race Conference. Humans are in charge this time.”
He believed that his memories might actually belong to the Immemorial Divine Phoenix. Since he hasn’t heard of this conference before, it most likely started after Time Immemorial.
“Humans are indeed in charge this time. Chaos is one of the largest cities and was built back in Time Immemorial. There are many vestiges of saints there so everyone wants to visit to pay respect.” Ximen Chuixiao said: “However, not everyone is qualified to enter the city. This goes double for the conference itself, only the most gifted geniuses and powerful cultivators were eligible to partic.i.p.ate. Thus, the conference itself is divided into two divisions, one for geniuses and the other for older masters.”
