Ao Yuan looked up and saw Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi rushing over.
"Um... Daidai... the water friends want to see you."
"They also want to ask you some questions."
Ao Yuan looked up and saw that Dai Xiaomei was holding her phone, and the livestream was on.
His entire dragon face was already reflected on it.
"Daidai, long time no see!"
"Daidai, wu wu wu, I've missed you so much."
"Daidai, I've practiced the cultivation method you gave me, but why does it feel a bit lacking? What's the reason?"
"Me too, I also feel like something's missing."
"Please help, Daidai, please help!"
Glancing at the barrage of comments, Ao Yuan shook his head slightly.
The cultivation method he had given was merely the most basic one he had obtained from a previous lottery.
However, thinking about it, it was normal for the people of Great Xia, who had no prior exposure to cultivation, to not understand.
He pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, today I will explain to you what cultivation actually is."
As he spoke, Ao Yuan closed his eyes slightly.
He said softly, "Heaven and Earth have Xuanhuang, the Universe has Honghuang!"
"All things have sustenance, the Dao divides all things!"
"The sun and moon are like a shuttle, spring comes and autumn goes..."
...
Ao Yuan explained calmly.
At the same time.
Within the livestream.
Many netizens who were listening to Ao Yuan's narration were slightly stunned.
At this moment, they seemed to have entered a wondrous realm.
Indescribable.
They involuntarily circulated the cultivation method Ao Yuan had given them.
At this moment, they could sense a surge of spiritual energy converging from all directions.
It was drawn into them, flowing through their meridians.
Finally... it all gathered within their dantian.
Never before had they entered such a marvelous state.
For a moment, everyone was engrossed, silently listening to Ao Yuan's explanation and quietly beginning to cultivate.
At the same time.
Bai Feng, who had just returned from the summit of Changbai Mountain to the foot of the mountain along the mountain path, looked up at Changbai Mountain, hidden by the clouds and mist. He let out a long sigh of relief.
He then immediately made a phone call to Elder Long to report on his trip.
"Elder Long, I have spoken with our Guardian Divine Beast about the matter."
"How is the situation?" Hearing this, Elder Long became more anxious.
"He has already agreed to Great Xia, and he also said that if we obtain cultivation methods, we can be given priority in Great Xia."
"Judging by his demeanor, he still harbors goodwill towards Great Xia, just like before."
In Beijing, within a Siheyuan (courtyard house).
Hearing the voice from his phone, Elder Long let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You have done very well."
"But this is only the first step."
"We must maintain a good relationship with Ao Yuan."
"Understood!" Bai Feng nodded heavily.
"How are the investigations into those small worlds going recently?" Elder Long asked again.
"Not bad. Currently, Great Xia has explored a relatively mild small world."
"We have exchanged some of Great Xia's specialties for cultivation methods."
"Good! Good!"
Hearing this, Elder Long praised, "Since you have obtained cultivation methods, implement them immediately."
"This will allow the Great Xia nation to maintain its current position amidst the resurgence of spiritual energy!"
"Understood!" Bai Feng nodded heavily.
Afterward, Elder Long and Bai Feng discussed some other matters before hanging up.
Elder Long lay back in his grand tutor's chair, rubbing his temples. A faint smile appeared on his aged face.
Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, as the foremost figure in Great Xia, he had not had a good night's sleep during this period.
And Ao Yuan, who was currently undoubtedly the foremost figure in Great Xia, would be a great asset to Great Xia to gain his friendship.
Abruptly, at this moment.
"Elder Long, please take a look."
In the Siheyuan, a young man solemnly approached Elder Long, holding a mobile phone.
"What is it?"
Elder Long followed the gaze and saw Ao Yuan in the livestream, speaking with his eyes half-closed.
And in the livestream, with hundreds of millions of viewers, there were no comments appearing.
"Our Guardian Divine Beast seems to be teaching the public how to cultivate..."
"Should we intervene?"
The young man asked.
Elder Long fell silent. He naturally understood what the young man was thinking.
Ao Yuan was a dragon, and they were humans.
Although dragons were the faith of the people of Great Xia, if the people of Great Xia's faith in dragons surpassed their faith in the nation, it would not be a good thing for Great Xia.
After all... no one knew what Ao Yuan might do in the future.
However, despite these thoughts, he did not voice his objection.
As the current decision-maker of Great Xia, every decision he made needed to be cautious and prudent.
After all, this was related to the future development of Great Xia.
"No need! We must trust Ao Yuan!"
"This is just the first step in Great Xia and Ao Yuan establishing a friendship."
After a long silence, Elder Long took a deep breath.
He then continued, "Haven't some citizens of Great Xia been asking recently about how to handle the relationship between us and Ao Yuan?"
"Yes." The young man was somewhat confused as to why Elder Long had suddenly changed the topic, but he still nodded.
"Wait a moment... no, immediately announce that Ao Yuan is still our Guardian Divine Beast!"
"Announce that Ao Yuan will be Great Xia's eternal good friend and ally!"
"That's all for now. You may go."
"Yes!"
The young man nodded and said no more.
Meanwhile.
Within the Dragon Palace.
As everyone knew, cultivation was something that easily made one lose track of time.
When Ao Yuan had finished his explanation and slowly came back to his senses, six hours had already passed.
"Has so much time passed?"
Ao Yuan looked at the livestream with its comments and at Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi beside him, their bodies entwined with spiritual energy.
He didn't disturb them and simply sat in the main seat, contemplating.
How could he expand his influence?
As Ao Yuan was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time.
Bang!
Two consecutive sounds emanated from beside Ao Yuan.
He turned his head and saw that Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi's bodies were emitting fluctuations of spiritual power.
"Upgraded?"
Ao Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi in surprise.
He could sense that Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi had now entered the Bone Quenching realm.
"Wow, Daidai, thank you!"
Before Ao Yuan could speak, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, feeling the changes within their bodies, rejoiced.
Then they both ran to Ao Yuan's side, pouted, and each left a red mark on Ao Yuan's dragon face.
"Damn, I'm no longer pure!"
Feeling the soft touch on his face, like a dragonfly's kiss, Ao Yuan was on the verge of tears.
Just as he was about to punish Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the comments in the livestream.
At this moment.
On the livestream.
"Wow, after listening to Daidai, I broke through."
"So I'm a martial arts prodigy!"
"Brother, you're not alone, me too, me too."
"Me too, I broke through right after listening to Daidai!"
"Are we all martial arts prodigies??"
"Why do I feel like it's because of Daidai that we broke through?"
"Damn, now that you mention it, I feel that way too!"
As these comments flooded in.
The next moment, all the comments in the livestream suddenly changed.
"Brothers, let's thank Daidai, Daidai yysd!"
"Daidai is forever God!"
"Daidai, forever God!"
"Daidai, forever God!"
...
Looking at the subsequent comments, which were all uniformly "Daidai is forever God."
Ao Yuan chuckled in his heart. He had to admit,
Being praised like this made him feel a little elated, but he did not show his inner joy.
On the surface, he maintained a poker face.
The next second.
"Ding, Host maintained the image of Great Xia's totem and received 2000 Faith Points."
