I wish all living beings could become dragons and soar into the heavens! New book, please collect.

Dao Discussion Hall.

Everyone looked at Lu Changsheng.

The question Zhang Zhen had asked had truly struck at the heart of everyone present.

Yes, even True Disciples as powerful as them had despaired of the immortal path. What, then, of Core Disciples, Inner Sect disciples, and Outer Sect disciples like them?

They spoke every day of how Heaven rewards diligence, every day of how effort brings hope—but where was that hope?

Where was the immortal path?

Where, exactly, was the road beneath their feet?

Anyone could spout lofty principles, but who could understand the bitterness in each person's heart?

How many cultivators had despaired on the immortal path?

How many cultivators had lost their way upon it?

Where, in the end, did the road lie?

This question was exceedingly profound.

When people had things to do, many would not dwell on such questions. But when they had nothing to occupy themselves with, their thoughts would run wild.

Such questions might seem rather muddled and nonsensical, but in truth, many cultivators would go astray because of them.

When you cultivated bitterly, when you struggled bitterly, only to discover that the goal you sought was one you could never attain in this lifetime—

What would you do?

Give up on yourself! Despair, abandon all hope, perhaps even cultivate demonic arts and bring calamity upon the world, all to satisfy the countless desires in your heart.

That was how one fell into demonic ways.

The great sacred lands would often hold a grand ceremony and give teachings once a year, urging hearts toward goodness. For once a cultivator fell into demonic ways, the consequences would be terrifying.

Within a dynasty, even a seventh-rank official afflicted by demonic obsession could bring disaster upon the people of an entire region.

And what of a cultivator?

What if that cultivator possessed profound cultivation?

The calamity they brought would be unimaginably terrifying.

Thus, when Wang Zhen asked this question, not only the hundred thousand disciples, but the entire upper echelon of Great Luo turned their attention to Lu Changsheng.

They were all deeply curious what Lu Changsheng would say to dissuade them.

Within the Dao Discussion Hall.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Heaven moves with vigor; thus does the gentleman strive unceasingly."

That was right. Lu Changsheng intended to use the Book of Changes as his answer.

The Book of Changes contained boundless wisdom. The Qian Hexagram in particular inspired people to rise ever upward, dispelling the doubts in their hearts and strengthening their resolve toward their goals.

It was the best possible answer.

But just as Lu Changsheng finished those words—

A phenomenon that seemed to have been brewing for a long time suddenly appeared at that very moment.

One star after another emerged.

They blanketed the entire land.

Looking up, countless stars radiated incomparably brilliant light.

Above the Azure Sky.

The light was dazzling.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

It was as though the universe itself had answered.

The stars glittered, illuminating the ages eternal.

At this moment, it was no longer merely the lands of Central Province that trembled—the entire world of immortals and heroes shook.

Boom!

Within the Literary Saint Academy of Central Province.

Several hundred Literary Saint statues stirred once more.

Within the Saint Academy, someone cried out in alarm.

"The Saint statues have moved! Could it be that another masterpiece to endure through the ages has appeared?"

The sound rang out, startling all directions.

Yet within the Sacred Academy, a voice slowly rose.

"It is not an article that will endure for a thousand ages—it is an unparalleled masterpiece!"

The voice was filled with undisguised shock.

Central Continent Four Dynasties.

Every emperor stepped out of his hall without prior arrangement. Though they stood in different places, all of them gazed toward the Great Luo Holy Land, their eyes brimming with incomparable astonishment.

For they saw a True Dragon emerge above the Great Luo Holy Land—a True Dragon, a real dragon.

The Yin Yang Holy Land, Purple Azure Holy Land, Supreme Beginning Holy Land, and the other holy lands were all shaken as well.

A terrifying phenomenon swept across the entire Central Continent.

In the skies, everyone saw a dragon appear. It was a True Dragon.

It hovered above the Great Luo Holy Land, a million zhang in length, leaving all who saw it utterly shaken.

"Heaven moves with vigor; thus the noble man strives unceasingly."

A scholar spoke, pondering the words carefully. In the next instant, light shone down upon him—this was vast righteous qi!

"Heaven moves with vigor; thus the noble man strives unceasingly."

A cultivator spoke, reciting those words. In an instant, boundless spiritual energy transformed into a beam of light that illuminated him—this was supreme spiritual energy!

At this moment, countless voices rang out.

"Heaven moves with vigor; thus the noble man strives unceasingly."

This sentence contained merely ten characters, yet it was filled with infinite wisdom.

What did "Heaven moves with vigor; thus the noble man strives unceasingly" mean?

The way of Heaven was forceful and vigorous. Therefore, cultivators and scholars alike should be like Heaven itself: constantly striving to improve, tempering themselves as they pressed onward, resolute and steadfast, working tirelessly to grow stronger, never allowing themselves to become indolent by nature!

No matter how difficult the road ahead, so long as one's heart remained firm, everything would be repaid.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At this moment, countless voices rang throughout the lands of Central Continent.

The phantom figures of those Literary Saints nearly solidified, as though they were about to return to life.

Vast righteous qi flooded the entire Central Continent.

At the same time, the immeasurable spiritual energy unleashed by billions of stars also blessed Central Continent.

Eastern Land.

Countless powerful figures opened their heavenly eyes to watch. Their gazes were filled with shock, but they could not help revealing deep envy as well.

"With an unparalleled masterpiece, he urges people toward goodness, moving the Heavenly Dao and bringing blessings upon Central Continent. With his strength alone, Lu Changsheng has forcibly made Central Continent prosper for a hundred thousand years."

An unparalleled powerhouse spoke, his words full of shock and emotion.

Yet at the Great Luo Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng noticed the phenomenon, but he had long grown accustomed to such things. Only the countless voices echoing around him set his blood boiling.

In one breath, Lu Changsheng continued.

"A hidden dragon—do not act; its yang lies below. A dragon appears in the field; its virtue spreads far and wide. Diligent all day long; returning ever to the Dao. Leaping from the abyss; advance without blame. A flying dragon in the heavens; the great man creates. The overreaching dragon has regrets; fullness cannot endure. With nines, the virtue of Heaven must not take the lead!"

As Lu Changsheng spoke, a vast, boundless voice rose in an instant, and a hundred phantom Literary Saints chanted the scripture in unison.

In a flash, terrifying literary qi and Star Power surrounded Lu Changsheng.

Then Lu Changsheng rose into the air.

He stood high in the sky.

His heart surged.

Behind him, a star chart abruptly unfolded.

"The All Heavens Star Chart! This is the All Heavens Star Chart! This is the most powerful phenomenon since ancient times!"

At this very moment, a voice filled with shock came from the Ten Thousand Stars Holy Land.

The entire world was stunned.

For this time, the phenomenon that appeared was no longer merely the blessing of halos—it was a true phenomenon.

The All Heavens Star Chart was the strongest phenomenon throughout all ages.

Once the All Heavens Star Chart was opened, one could command billions of stars, transforming them into boundless spiritual energy to bless one's body. One's magical power would become inexhaustible, and one's combat strength invincible.

This kind of phenomenon had existed only in ancient records throughout the ages. Whether it had ever truly existed was itself unknown.

Yet today, Lu Changsheng had awakened his first phenomenon.

Only Lu Changsheng's voice rang out once more.

"The earth's bearing is Kun; the noble man carries all things with the weight of virtue!"

As his voice rang out, billions upon billions of stars illuminated the entire Central Province.

The Literary Star shook violently.

At the Great Luo Holy Land, every member of the upper echelon was dumbstruck.

Qingyun Daoist in particular.

He had merely wanted Lu Changsheng to casually go teach and spread the Dao.

Yet he had never expected him to utter a peerless scripture.

Those two lines alone were enough to be passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Had he known, he should have had Lu Changsheng tell him in secret so that he could say them himself. Wouldn't that have been better?

Qingyun Daoist let his thoughts run wild for a moment, but quickly steadied himself and fixed his gaze on Lu Changsheng.

Yet at that very moment—

Behind Lu Changsheng, shadowy figures began to emerge one after another!

Some held books in their hands.

Some gripped sabers and spears.

Some held writing brushes.

Some carried painted scrolls.

"Th-this is... this is the Hundred Schools of Philosophers!"

"The strongest phenomenon among scholars—the Hundred Schools of Philosophers."

"Who would have thought that, in my lifetime, I would witness the Hundred Schools of Philosophers appear? I have no regrets in this life! No regrets at all!"

Voices rose one after another.

Scholars across the world were shaken.

Because Lu Changsheng had awakened another phenomenon.

The Hundred Schools of Philosophers!

And at that moment—

After Lu Changsheng finished reciting the Qian and Kun hexagrams, he fell silent for a moment.

But immediately after—

His voice became like the voice of the Great Dao.

It spread throughout the entire world of cultivation.

"I am Lu Changsheng. I wish for all living beings under heaven to become dragons, each and every one soaring into the skies in a single flight!"

The moment those words fell—

The world was utterly stunned!

In an instant, heaven and earth were suffused with mysterious yellow qi.

The supreme and peerless Auspicious Merit Clouds appeared once more.
