The Academy and the Household Precepts
The Magnetism Power is a force derived from the Metal Element, possessing immense power.
It is said that there are cultivators who have Great Achievement this power, capable of tearing apart millions of miles of mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye, or compressing a mountain tens of millions of feet high into a marble the size of a finger with a simple wave of their hand.
Its terrifying, world-destroying power is captivating and alluring.
However, although this power is extremely strong, the threshold for cultivation is extremely high, and many cultivators spend their entire lives without ever mastering it.
Yang Tianyou, however, was different. The rolling sea of thunder on Golden Thunder Peak and the omnipresent Magnetism Power were his best teachers.
There, he could clearly perceive the subtle composition of the Magnetism Power and understand its operating mysteries.
These insights are the foundation upon which he is confident in comprehending the Magnetism Power.
As Yang Tianyou began to organize the Metal-Attribute Power, the Gold-and-Silver Taiji Diagram slowly rotated, drawing out the mixed Power of the Stars and making the Metal Attribute source power increasingly pure and concentrated.
Seeing this, he was not in a hurry, but gradually and subtly changed the trajectory of the original power, causing it to evolve into a trace of primordial magnetic power.
However, as these magnetic forces increased, they began to escape his control.
Boom!!
Inside the stone chamber, crackling blue-green lightning raged, tearing the entire chamber apart and leaving it riddled with holes in moments.
"Hiss..."
Amidst the smoke and dust, Yang Tianyou covered his eyes, wincing in pain.
Undoubtedly, the first attempt to master the Magnetism Power ended in failure.
Not only that, his Great White Gold Eyes were also injured. Fortunately, he was not truly ignorant of the Magnetism Power. At the last moment, he activated his backup plan and controlled it, thus preventing more serious consequences.
However, all of this was not without its benefits; at least he was much more confident about his next attempt.
Cultivating Divine Ability is not a simple process. In the Cultivation World, there are countless examples of people being severely injured or even dying because of cultivating Divine Ability.
The mastery of power must be honed through experience; otherwise, one is not qualified to wield it.
Covering his eyes, Yang Tianyou took a long time to recover. When he finally opened his eyes, his pupils were covered with dense, bloodshot veins, which looked terrifying.
He took out a Human Origin Pill and swallowed it, then circulated his Cultivation Method to absorb the medicinal power. Three hours later, most of the bloodshot veins in his eyes disappeared.
Although he still felt some soreness, it no longer affected his vision. Before, his vision was so blurry that he couldn't see anything at all.
"We need to find a way to transplant the Divine Ability Seed, otherwise, if we're unlucky, these eyes will be ruined," Yang Tianyou muttered to himself.
The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the human body; even if someone is Spirit Eyes, their eyes still offer little protection.
This time, the situation was controlled in time, and only a small portion of the Magnetism Power was released. The next time, however, things might be different.
"If it were a transplant, where would we place it? In the chest? In the palm of the hand?...?"
After a moment of deep thought, his Storage Ring suddenly vibrated. He scanned it with his Spiritual Awareness, and a Communication Talisman flew out, transmitting a message.
"The marriage ceremony was supposed to be in five days... It's been so long already?"
Thinking of this, Yang Tianyou stood up, pushed open the broken stone door, and walked out.
Outside, Fengling and Yuan Ba, who had heard the commotion, were guarding the door. When they saw their master come out, they went forward one after another, their beast eyes filled with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just had a slight mishap during my cultivation." Yang Tianyou waved his hand with a smile, indicating that he was alright.
After ten months of seclusion, his strength has improved significantly. His Spiritual Power and physique have both increased considerably. If he was just entering the first Foundation Establishment First Layer before, he is now considered to be in the middle to high stage of the Foundation Establishment First Layer.
While their master was cultivating, Fengling and Yuan Ba were not idle either. With the ample resources provided by Yang Tianyou, the two Spirit Beasts made quite gratifying progress in their strength.
The aura emanating from Fengling became even more profound, like a dark Storm, giving people an inexplicable pressure.
Yuan Ba had grown even stronger; his Scarlet Gold fur seemed to be burning with flames, making him look ferocious, scorching, and savage.
If Fengling is an assassin, then Yuan Ba is a warrior, and an incredibly ferocious heavily armored warrior at that.
Using the blood of my enemies to fuel my Scarlet Bright Demon Fire, I become a raging fire ape in battle.
Yang Tianyou was naturally quite satisfied with the two beasts' progress in cultivation. After playing with them for a while, he left his residence and strolled around Purple Moon Mountain.
In just ten months, the changes in Purple Moon Mountain have been quite remarkable.
First, the Spiritual Qi permeating the mountains has increased. This is because the Lineage has rearranged the Spirit-Gathering Grand Formation at the two Spirit Vein nodes, which has increased the speed at which the Spirit Veins gather Spiritual Qi.
Secondly, many magnificent buildings have appeared halfway up the mountain, including Alchemy Pill Halls, Artifact Refining Halls, Talisman-Making Halls, and Spirit Cuisine Halls.
The largest building has the four large characters "Purple Moon Academy" written on its main entrance. Judging from the handwriting, it should have been written by the Old Ancestor himself, and there is also a faint Earth Attribute Daoist aura permeating it.
The idea of building Academy was proposed by Yang Tianyou, and it was supported by Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu and the other elders.
During Yang Tianyou's seclusion, the Lineage quickly built Academy and immediately enrolled the young members of the clan in it to learn.
After glancing at the plaque, Yang Tianyou stepped into the Academy.
Next, a giant stone tablet came into view, inscribed with the Yang Household's eight family precepts, which the Yang Household Member called the Five Prohibitions and Three Upholdings.
The Five Precepts are: abstain from pride, laziness, hypocrisy, desire, and evil.
The three principles are: diligence, prudence, and perseverance.
These Five Prohibitions and Three Upholdings were established by the first Old Ancestor Yang Canglang, at the beginning of the Yang Household's founding, and they are still in use today.
The first task for every member of the Yang Household Members after they reach a certain age is to remember these eight family precepts, which they will never forget until their death.
Looking at the familiar family precepts on the stone tablet in front of him, Yang Tianyou sighed with emotion. This is inheritance, the inheritance of a Lineage.
Lineage is not merely a connection of blood, but a combination of the spirit, will, path, and beliefs of generations.
What the younger generation inherits from their elders is not only Spirit Stones and Contribution Points, but also the heavy burden and responsibility passed down by the previous generation.
Lineage is never a solitary journey, but rather a mutual support, using the strength of the group to navigate this treacherous yet incredibly exciting world of cultivation.
After his reflections, Yang Tianyou continued walking into the Academy. Today, the Lineage was teaching three courses: Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, basic Talisman, and basic identification of spirit medicine.
There were only seven or eight students attending the class, but they all listened attentively.
It's not that these children are particularly well-behaved; even those with Spirit Roots are not immune to mischief in their youth.
The reason these little ones are so well-behaved is simple: today's teacher is Fourth Sister Yang Tianxue.
In the hearts of the younger generation of the Yang Household, she was almost synonymous with the Great Devil King.
Because Yang Tianxue doesn't spoil them like their parents do; if they're naughty or don't study hard, she'll really beat them.
Which boy in the room hadn't been punished by Yang Tianxue?
That's why we see this scene of people attentively listening to the lesson.
