Fang Qing, Teacher Fang!

"Who was that?"

"How could he be so young, yet his cultivation level..."

"Heavens, he's actually cultivated divine light! Has he reached the Life Spring Realm?"

"I've cultivated here for three years and am still in the late stage of the bitter sea. Although I've cultivated a few divine marks, I'm still far from entering the Life Spring Realm. Who exactly is this person? Why is he already at the Life Spring Realm?"

"He seems quite familiar with Elder Lu Zhihua. What is his background?"

When Fang Qing sat on the cliff not far from Elder Lu Zhihua, the disciples of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven were immediately stunned, their eyes full of astonishment and curiosity over Fang Qing's appearance.

Some of the disciples seated below, such as Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi, and Lin Jia, knew Fang Qing's background, making them all the more incredulous.

Their gazes met, and each of them saw the shock in the others' eyes.

"That's Fang Qing!"

"He's actually already reached the Life Spring Realm?"

"But we haven't even finished studying the Dao Scripture! We don't even understand a tenth of it, yet Fang Qing has already reached the Life Spring Realm?"

"The Dao Scripture is so obscure and difficult to understand. Even someone like me spent a long time studying it and still only understands bits and pieces. How did he do it?"

As Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and the others looked at Fang Qing, they were shocked, and some of his former classmates were utterly shaken.

Zhou Yi, for one, had always believed he was no worse than anyone when it came to learning. Yet now, he had only studied a tenth of the Dao Scripture. He had thought his learning speed was already quite fast, but Fang Qing, who had arrived at the same time, had already reached the Life Spring Realm.

They had all come together. How had he gained clear understanding of the Dao Scripture, opened up the bitter sea, and entered the Life Spring in such a short time?

It was simply unbelievable!

"Disciples."

At that moment, Elder Lu Zhihua's voice rang out, reaching the ears of every disciple who had come to listen.

"The disciple beside me may have been unknown to you in the past, but from today onward, you will certainly know his name. His name is Fang Qing. He is an Immortal Seedling of our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, and he has now reached the Life Spring Realm. He is a Peerless Genius of our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. If he has the time in the future, he will also lecture you on the Dao."

Elder Lu Zhihua's voice spread through the air. His words made many disciples widen their eyes in disbelief.

But Elder Lu Zhihua paid no attention to their expressions. Instead, he looked at Fang Qing. "Fang Qing, you have only just come through the bitter sea realm. You have experience in comprehending the Dao Scripture and opening the Wheel of Life. Today, you may also explain it to these disciples and let them see your understanding of the Dao."

"Yes."

Fang Qing nodded.

Sitting atop the cliff, he began directly with the very first section of the Dao Scripture.

Lecturing others on the Dao was not a waste of time. It was also a form of contemplation and cultivation for himself.

As he lectured, he gained new insights into certain descriptions of the Mysterious Methods within the Dao Scripture. Through his interactions and discussions with the many disciples, new ideas also emerged.

Fang Qing lectured the disciples on the Dao, explaining many of the true meanings of the Dao Scripture. In particular, as he spoke, the Bodhi Seed enhanced his wisdom, and the more he lectured, the more he understood the knowledge contained within the Dao Scripture.

The Dao Scripture, the Dao Scripture—this scripture contained countless profound truths. Although Lingxu Grotto-Heaven possessed only a portion of it, that portion alone was enough to allow many disciples to steadily step onto the path of cultivation.

Fang Qing's explanation of the Dao Scripture was even more impressive than that of some elders. With the Bodhi Seed strengthening him and wisdom constantly flowing through his mind, and having only recently entered cultivation through the Dao Scripture himself, his words benefited many disciples greatly.

Principles they had failed to understand in the past suddenly became clear this time.

After Fang Qing had lectured on the Dao Scripture for half an hour, many disciples still wanted more and wished he could continue.

However, the allotted time for lecturing was only half an hour. The elders also stopped their lectures and rode divine light away from Lingxu Cliff.

Fang Qing did the same.

Riding divine light, he left Lingxu Cliff.

The disciples who had listened to the lecture still wanted more and had yet to depart.

"Our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven actually has such an Immortal Seedling. He's truly amazing! What he explained was so incisive—I really understood it!"

"Yes. In the past, when some elders explained the Dao Scripture, there were parts I couldn't understand. But when Senior Brother Fang Qing explained it, I understood quite a lot."

"Senior Brother Fang Qing's comprehension of the Dao Scripture is truly remarkable, far beyond ours. He has already reached the Life Spring Realm. In the future, he'll become another Senior Sister Weiwei!"

"It's a pity we cannot listen to Senior Brother Fang Qing's teachings day and night. Otherwise, we could all gain clear understanding of the Dao realm and enter cultivation sooner."

Countless disciples discussed it animatedly, while Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia, and their other former classmates remained shocked.

They had indeed understood quite a lot while listening to Fang Qing explain the Dao Scripture. They even felt that Fang Qing had lectured better than that elder.

"Our former classmate is truly impressive."

"We can't call him our former classmate anymore. We should call him Senior Brother Fang Qing."

"No, we should call him Teacher Fang."

"Teacher Fang is truly amazing. I really want to catch up with him."

As they recalled Fang Qing flying away on divine light, each of them had their own thoughts.

Some of the female students desperately wanted to seek Fang Qing out at once, but none of them knew where he was.

Ever since entering Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, they had been separated from Fang Qing.

It was truly regrettable.

At this moment, Fang Qing was discussing the path ahead with Elder Wu Qingfeng, Elder Lu Zhihua, Elder Zhou Xuanyi, and Elder Shi Yansheng.

When cultivators reached the late stage of the bitter sea, they had already cultivated one divine mark after another. To make those divine marks more powerful, they needed to refine them into various forms.

Flying knives, daggers, and the like could be released from the body to kill enemies, making them more effective than divine marks alone.

Some people spent considerable time and effort refining their primitive divine marks into flying swords, small shields, divine halberds, and the like. These were easier to control and far more powerful in battle.

A select few would repeatedly temper their divine marks, refining them into complex objects such as bells, towers, and cauldrons, which could unleash all manner of mysterious power.

According to legend, the objects refined by an extremely small number of cultivators might undergo unexpected changes at later stages, weaving the traces of the Dao within them and gaining unfathomable power.

Therefore, many elders of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven were very interested in what kind of artifact Fang Qing intended to create.

"I have only been cultivating for a short time and have not studied many artifacts deeply. But if I had to say what interests me, I am somewhat interested in lamps."

Fang Qing spoke as he held the Bronze Lamp he had obtained from the Great Thunder Sound Temple in his hand and played with it.

"A lamp?"
