Ancient Families' Shock
"System, raise Han Feng's strength to One-star Dou Ancestor."
In the blink of an eye, Han Feng advanced from the strength of Dou Emperor to the Dou Zong realm, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"Bite"
Congratulations, host, for receiving 1,000,000 Shock Points from everyone.
Han Feng was also terrified. Why had he suddenly revealed this secret?
But then he discovered that his strength had actually increased to that of Dou Zong expert, which left him completely bewildered.
Ye Qianqian coaxed, "Very good, child. You have revealed your inner demons, so it is only natural that your cultivation level has suddenly improved. You are exceptionally talented, and I believe that one day in the future, you will definitely become a powerful figure on the Dou Qi Continent."
Everyone then realized that Han Feng's inner demons had been eliminated by Yun Lan Ancestor, which was why he had soared to the Dou Zong level.
With tears streaming down his face, Han Feng asked, "Yun Lan Ancestor, what should I do from now on?"
Improving his cultivation level is a good thing, but it also exposes his secret of framing Old Yao. What should he do now?
Ye Qianqian closed her eyes and said mysteriously, "Neither sorrow nor joy, neither love nor hate, neither aversion nor fear, neither greed nor anger, neither defilement nor stain. If you just remember these words, you will surely reach the pinnacle and stand at the top of this world."
Neither sad nor happy, neither loving nor hating, neither resentful nor fearful, neither greedy nor angry, neither defiled nor tainted?
Under Ye Qianqian's Divine Brainwashing Technique, Han Feng repeatedly chanted these words, and suddenly he seemed to awaken from a dream, as if a belief had been formed in his heart.
He let out a maniacal laugh, and the strange fire, the Sea Heart Flame, was summoned from his hand. He wiped it on his long, black hair, and instantly transformed into a bald monk.
"Amitabha! Listening to Yun Lan Ancestor's words is better than reading for ten years. I have now transcended all worldly desires and strife. From this day forward, I will abandon all wealth and glory and all worldly disputes to help people escape the sea of suffering and reach the other shore."
Han Feng clasped his hands together, performed a kneeling bow to Ye Qianqian, and then sat down in the chair.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Han Feng's transformation, only to hear him utter a profound and enigmatic statement that defied comprehension.
"I possess a luminous pearl, long locked away by worldly cares. Now, the dust has settled, its light shines forth, illuminating countless Qing Shan. From this day forward, Maple Emperor Han Feng is no more; in his place stands a transcendent being named Master Hai Lan. Hahahaha..."
"Bite"
Congratulations, host, for receiving 1,000,000 Shock Points from everyone.
Han Feng's actions were so bizarre and unbelievable. How could a powerful figure like Maple Emperor willingly abandon his wealth and status to become a free spirit? Had he gone mad?
"Yun Lan Ancestor, I wonder if you could help me?" The Old Ghost of Earth Demon was extremely envious when he saw Han Feng instantly advance to the Dou Zong.
Ye Qianqian looked up and saw that it was the Valley Master of Magic Flame Valley, the Old Ghost of Earth Demon, who in the original story directly forced Xiao Yan to release the Four-Colored Fire Lotus.
"Magic Flame Valley, you have no inner demons, but you have unresolved issues."
"A knot in his heart?" The Old Ghost of Earth Demon suddenly realized that he and Mang Tianchi had always been on par in strength, but he was not a pay-to-win player. Now Mang Tianchi was already Dou Sheng Expert, while he was still at the Dou Zong stage. This was probably his knot in his heart!
Ye Qianqian said, "Magic Flame Valley, although you dominate a region in the Black Corner Region, you are ultimately not at ease because your inner turmoil has prevented you from making any progress in your cultivation."
"May I ask, Yun Lan Ancestor, how can I resolve this knot in my heart?" The Old Ghost of Earth Demon was extremely excited, never expecting that Ye Qianqian would understand his predicament at a glance.
Ye Qianqian once again unleashed the power of her brainwashing technique, shining it on the head of the Old Ghost of Earth Demon, causing him to be baptized by this power of faith.
In his mind, he could only hear Ye Qianqian's voice.
"Riding the wind, treading the clouds, roaming freely across the world, a thousand sails cross the sea of suffering, vying for fame and fortune, leaving only sorrowful bones, calmly observing the myriad aspects of life, good and bad, with an open mind, good fortune will naturally come!"
The Old Ghost of Earth Demon's eyes were blurry as he repeatedly muttered to himself. Ye Qianqian's enlightenment of the Great Dao also suddenly made his eyes light up, as if he had found a new world.
Yes, life is a sea of suffering, and no matter who is stronger or more powerful than whom, it's all meaningless; we're all just struggling in this sea of suffering.
The Old Ghost of Earth Demon, now reborn, bowed with one hand and said to Ye Qianqian, "Boundless 'Qian' Venerable, I have finally comprehended my own Dao of Freedom. From this day forward, the Old Ghost of Earth Demon will no longer exist in this world. Instead, a Daoist named Xiaoyao Daoist will take his place."
Ye Qianqian nodded in satisfaction and hurriedly instructed the system to upgrade the Old Ghost of Earth Demon to the Dou Zun Realm.
In that instant, the tens of thousands of people present were once again in an uproar. The Old Ghost of Earth Demon had actually advanced to the Dou Zun! This was just too damn amazing!
"Bite"
Congratulations, host, you have once again gained 1,000,000 Shock Points from everyone.
"Yun Lan Ancestor, I, I, and I again, please, sir, open your mouth and enlighten this junior!"
The Gold Silver Elders and Yin, along with Mo Tianxing and the others, were even more excited to Old Ghost of Earth Demon had become Dou Zun.
They also longed for Ye Qianqian's guidance!
"Gold Silver Elders, you are guilty!" Just then, Ye Qianqian threatened again, "You have spent your lives fighting for fame and fortune, harming many people. This has also caused you to be unable to improve your strength throughout your lives. Therefore, after you die, you will go to hell and enter a sea of fire to have your souls tempered!"
"Ah?"
The Gold Silver Elders, were terrified; what should they do?
Ye Qianqian, "In fact, everyone in this world is born a sinner. Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are all original sins. Therefore, if you want to atone for your sins, you should persuade people to do good. Only in this way can your souls enter heaven after you die."
Ye Qianqian released the light of faith, shining it on the heads of the Gold Silver Elders.
The division between heaven and hell, as described in Western scriptures, immediately came to their minds.
Heaven is so beautiful and magnificent, where people's souls are at peace, while hell is a terrifying sea of fire where countless demons struggle.
This scene terrified the Gold Silver Elders, causing them to break out in a cold sweat and tremble.
"Yun Lan Ancestor, please save us! We don't want to go to hell after we die!"
Ye Qianqian smiled and said, "If you want to atone for your sins, the only way is to repent. As long as you repent every day, examine yourself three times a day, and regard all people as your brothers and sisters, that is the key to your sublimation. After death, you can also enter heaven and gain eternal life."
The saying "Those who believe will have eternal life, those who don't will go to hell" was actually quite effective in scaring people.
Under the Divine Brainwashing Technique light, the Gold Silver Elders repented deeply, filled with regret. Finally, they crossed themselves and said, "Shallow Luya, may Yunlan bless us. From this day forward, we will repent every day. If someone slaps our left cheek, we will smile and offer our right cheek. Please call us Gold and Silver Missionaries."
Ye Qianqian used a small amount of Shock Points to help the Gold Silver Elders advance to the Dou Zong realm.
"Mo Tianxing, you are not refined enough and are quite calculating. I will give you a copy of the Three Character Classic. Now, recite it with me: 'At the beginning of life, people are inherently good; their natures are similar, but their habits differ...'"
After another round of deception, Mo Tianxing, a Confucian scholar representing the Confucian school, was born.
Overwhelmed with remorse, Mo Tianxing said to his grandson Mo Ya, "Grandson, actually, I am not your grandfather, I am your father! When your father died young, I couldn't bear to see the Mo family line die out, so I set my sights on your mother. Today, after hearing the teachings of Yun Lan Ancestor, I feel that this is against morality, so I am willing to punish myself to atone for this heinous crime."
"Whoosh!"
Everyone was shocked again. It turned out that Sect Master Mo of the Black Emperor Sect was actually having an affair with someone close to him!
"Then, should I call you Grandpa or Father?" Mo Ya's mind was buzzing, and he asked blankly.
"Whatever, whatever makes you happy," Mo Tianxing sighed.
Under Ye Qianqian's persuasion, the tens of thousands of people in the square instantly became like the Hundred Schools of Thought, with schools of thought arguing and creating a lively atmosphere.
These people all revered Ye Qianqian as the patriarch of all laws; without her guidance, they probably wouldn't have been able to see the error of their ways.
Among them, Han Feng, the Old Ghost of Earth Demon, the Gold Silver Elders, and other big shots declared that they would follow Ye Qianqian at all times, stay by the ancestor's side, and receive her teachings.
Ye Qianqian did not upgrade the strength of all tens of thousands of people because she was reluctant to waste so many Shock Points. Instead, she created several schools of thought, recruited many disciples, and eventually unified them under her command.
Gradually, the people of the Black Corner Region were assimilated by a power of faith, and they revered Ye Qianqian as a deity, allowing no one to question her.
"Alright, that concludes today's lecture. Please feel free to leave now!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qianqian knew it was time to return to the Yun Lan Academy.
"Ancestor, please say a few more words! We haven't heard enough!"
"Yes, Ancestor, please say a few more words of wisdom. I also wish to gain enlightenment on the Great Dao!"
The tens of thousands of villains in the Black Corner Region immediately turned into die-hard fans, just like crazy music and movie fans. They were all unwilling to see Ye Qianqian leave.
Ye Qianqian smiled and said, "If you want to attend my lectures, that's not impossible. Just come to the Yun Lan Academy every day, and I'll be happy to enlighten you juniors."
"Alright, starting today, we'll join the Misty Cloud Sect!" Everyone cheered excitedly upon hearing Ye Qianqian's words.
Central Continent, the Soul Clan!
"Misty Cloud Great Emperor? Yun Lan Ancestor? Tou She Ancient God Jade?"
Three large question marks appeared above the Hun Tiandi's head; he was startled by the message relayed by his subordinates.
The Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade is actually in the Black Corner Region, and in the hands of that Yun Lan Ancestor! And he's even planning an auction for it?
"No, I must get my hands on the Ancient Jade."
The Hun Tiandi couldn't sit still any longer. As long as he had the Ancient Emperor Jade, he could open the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, obtain the Ancient Emperor's inheritance, and advance to the level of Dou Di, which hadn't appeared in over a thousand years. Therefore, the Ancient Emperor Jade couldn't fall into the hands of others. Even if he had to steal it, he would take Ancient Jade back.
Just as shocked as the Hun Tiandi were the other family Clan Leader, including Gu Yuan. They were all unable to calm themselves down and were unwilling to wait for the auction. They immediately decided to go to the Black Corner Region and seize the Ancient Jade.
