Chapter 1 Cultivation

He set aside the matter of alchemy for the time being.

During this time, Lu Changsheng had been focusing on cultivation, striving to break through to the late stage of Qi training before going down the mountain.

But unfortunately, after dozens of days of hard training, Lu Changsheng found that his cultivation had not improved at all.

Not even a tiny bit.

This made Lu Changsheng wonder.

Could it be that his realm could not be improved through simple cultivation, but would automatically wait until the experience bar was full, and then break through after a little bit of practice?

Since his cultivation could not be improved, Lu Changsheng had no choice but to give up continuing to cultivate.

Just then, Li Zhang arrived.

"Senior Brother, the Sect Leader has sent a decree, asking you to go to the Da Luo Academy to impart the Dao to the disciples."

Li Zhang's voice rang out, causing Lu Changsheng in the main hall to be slightly surprised.

Impart the Dao?

With his level of Qi training?

Was this not asking for trouble?

To be honest, apart from the *Dao De Jing* and similar things, he really did not know any Dao techniques.

"Tell the Sect Leader that I am currently in secluded cultivation and will not go," Lu Changsheng replied calmly.

Li Zhang's voice continued to ring out.

"Senior Brother, the Sect Leader said that you are about to go down the mountain to travel, and the disciples of our Holy Land are waiting for you to give lectures and impart the Dao. If you don't go, I'm afraid it will damage your image as the Senior Brother."

He was right.

He had been in the Da Luo Holy Land for more than three years, and had been appointed as Senior Brother for several months, but had indeed not given any lectures.

If he went down the mountain and left to give lectures in other sects, wouldn't that be a bit out of place?

"Alright then, tomorrow at noon, I will go to the Da Luo Academy to give lectures!" Lu Changsheng said.

"Respectfully following Senior Brother's decree," Li Zhang replied, then left to inform everyone.

Setting the time for tomorrow was to give himself time to review and prepare.

Calculating the date, he would be going down the mountain in seven days.

Ah, time really flies.

Inside the main hall, Lu Changsheng held a map, which was the map inside the Qiankun Ring, the second map that Qingyun Daoren had prepared for him.

The so-called map was not a piece of parchment, but a jade scroll. When the jade scroll was opened, a map projection would appear. This was immortal magic, and it also had positioning capabilities, so he wouldn't get lost.

The first Holy Land he was going to was the Yin Yang Holy Land, which was 360,000 miles away from the Da Luo Holy Land. On the way, he would need to pass through the Da Qian Dynasty and the Jiang family.

Inside the Qiankun Ring, there were many magical treasures and medicinal materials, some of which were for Lu Changsheng to use, and the rest were gifts. When visiting a Holy Land, it was necessary to bring gifts, otherwise, wouldn't it seem particularly shabby?

After carefully studying the map, Lu Changsheng began to prepare for his lecture.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to prepare, so he simply continued to enter a state of secluded cultivation.

Regardless of whether he could break through, there was nothing wrong with cultivating anyway.

And so, in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Noon.

Da Luo Main Peak.

Lu Changsheng got up and sat on the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus.

His whole body was surrounded by a cyan light, making him seem indescribably ethereal.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Da Luo Academy.

At this moment, the entire Da Luo Academy had three thousand disciples, each of whom seemed very excited and expectant.

Especially after seeing Lu Changsheng appear, everyone shouted in unison.

"We have seen Senior Brother!"

The sound rang out, deafening.

Li Zhang and the others stood on the left and right sides of the lecture platform, acting as attendants.

But after Lu Changsheng landed, he frowned slightly when he saw the three thousand white-robed disciples.

"Senior Brother, is there something wrong?"

Li Zhang observed Lu Changsheng's expression and immediately noticed the subtle changes, so he asked.

"Why are there only three thousand people?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"Oh, Senior Brother, these are all Da Luo core disciples. This lecture is limited," Li Zhang said.

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "The law has no high or low, and the Dao has no noble or humble. Pass down my order that all Da Luo disciples can go to the Dao Discussion Hall to listen to the lecture."

Lu Changsheng's idea was simple. Since he was imparting the Dao and giving lectures, he might as well have everyone come together. Don't have one batch come now and another batch come tomorrow.

He would lecture together. If you could understand, you could understand. If you couldn't understand, you couldn't blame him.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Soon, a disciple stood up, then bowed to Lu Changsheng, his face full of admiration.

"Senior Brother is indeed of a high realm. Such a state of mind is truly a model for us!"

"The law has no high or low, and the Dao has no noble or humble. Senior Brother's state of mind is remarkable."

"The Dao has no noble or humble! Good, good, good, this is great wisdom."

"Changsheng is indeed the son of our Daoist sect. At such a young age, he has already comprehended this point. Yes, the law has no high or low, and the Dao has no noble or humble. Treating everyone equally is the only way to make the sect prosperous. Good, good!"

The disciples sighed with emotion, and even some of the elders of the Da Luo Academy felt ashamed after hearing these words.

Lu Changsheng was slightly dazed when he heard the discussions.

He just wanted to be lazy.

Was this a high realm?

Was this great wisdom?

Was this great courage?

Alright, he admitted it.

Lu Changsheng was already used to the reactions of the crowd. He had thoroughly understood it in the past three years.

Anyway, no matter what he did, someone would always over-interpret it, and he had become accustomed to it.

He didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

Lu Changsheng stepped on the Green Lotus and left, heading to the Dao Discussion Hall.

Soon, a series of voices rang out.

"Senior Brother's decree: All Da Luo disciples, regardless of status, can come to the Dao Discussion Hall to listen to the lecture!"

"Senior Brother's decree: All Da Luo disciples, regardless of status, can come to the Dao Discussion Hall to listen to the lecture!"

"Senior Brother's decree: All Da Luo disciples, regardless of status, can come to the Dao Discussion Hall to listen to the lecture!"

The sound rang out, spreading throughout the entire Da Luo Holy Land.

In an instant, the Da Luo disciples were stunned.

Those inner disciples, outer disciples, and registered disciples were even more ecstatic and incredulous.

The Da Luo Holy Land emphasized status and identity.

They naturally knew that Lu Changsheng was imparting the Dao and giving lectures, but they also understood that they would not be able to listen to the supreme Dao techniques.

But what they didn't expect was that Senior Brother would actually say such a thing.

In an instant, how many disciples wept with joy, how many disciples were ecstatic, and how many disciples were excited!

And the high-ranking members of Da Luo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this voice.

"Changsheng is indeed of a high realm."

"Our Da Luo has really gained a god."

"Sticking to the rules will eventually lead to decline. Imparting the Dao and giving lectures should not discriminate based on status. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

"From now on, when I discuss the Dao and give lectures, I will also not discriminate based on status. All Da Luo disciples can come to learn."

"Me too."

"Same here."

Soon, a series of voices rang out. Some elders were deeply moved and immediately followed Lu Changsheng's example, which quickly caused a chain reaction. Many elders spoke up, causing countless disciples to be even more grateful to Lu Changsheng.

On the path of cultivation, one will always encounter many troubles and confusions. Those registered disciples and outer disciples were the worst. They did all kinds of hard work in the main sect, but could not listen to the elders' lectures. When they encountered problems, they could only rely on their fellow disciples.

But now, Lu Changsheng had set a good example, causing countless disciples to be grateful to the point of tears.

Soon, at the Da Luo Dao Discussion Hall, 100,000 disciples gathered like a swarm of locusts.

Half an hour later, the people had finally arrived.

Lu Changsheng began to discuss the Dao.
