On the Strange Phenomena of Discussing the Dao

Once this formation is set up, the descending 'Blood Demon' will be lured by the formation and change its trajectory, ultimately landing precisely within five kilometers of the location it designates!

Since you want to follow the clues, I'll collect the scrolls as quickly as possible, then destroy them. Let's see how you find out then!

The man grasped the <Cultivator Daily>, then closed his eyes and began to contact his puppet through a special means.

Near the Chu Household Grounds

Suddenly, three figures, resembling 'servants,' quietly gathered together. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their eyes were vacant, and their bodies swayed slightly as they walked, like water-filled balloons.

Under the master's remote control, the three 'servants' found a secluded spot and inscribed a formation on the ground.

After the array was completed, the three servants promptly slit their own throats, and their blood gushed out, quickly filling the array pattern.

A small array was activated. It began to emit an alluring scent that only the 'Blood Demon' could detect...

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the Blood Demon to appear!

After arranging everything, the 'sir' gradually regained his composure and murmured, "Finally, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I must prepare an escape route. A good conman must always have enough ways out."

***************************

In front of the Immortal Severing Platform, the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' are having a discussion meeting.

Since we've already been delivered by Venerable White's 'Disposable Flying Sword,' let's take this opportunity to have a good chat. Opportunities for so many fellow Daoists in the group to gather together are rare!

So the seniors gathered together and began to share their recent cultivation insights and experiences.

If you have any questions about cultivation, you can take this opportunity to ask the seniors, especially with the Venerable Senior White here, many questions can be answered.

Although the internet is so developed now, we can easily communicate even across thousands of miles.

However, some issues in cultivation can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

There are still some questions that can't be explained in a few words. It's better to have the seniors demonstrate them on the spot, which is better than a thousand words!

At this moment, Venerable White was explaining some difficult points in cultivation to his fellow Daoists in detail. He explained them in a way that was both profound and easy to understand. Several group members, including Northern River's Loose Cultivator, who were about to break through, felt enlightened and felt that their chances of advancing had increased.

When Song Shuhang arrived at the location of the Immortal Severing Platform, he witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

Above the heads of the senior figures, spiritual energy condensed to a visible degree, transforming into auspicious clouds.

Then, spiritual energy dispersed and transformed into mist, nourishing all things.

Beneath the feet of our predecessors, tender shoots of grass sprouted and grew into a lush green meadow in a very short time.

And then there are the flowers that go through the process of blooming and withering in a very short time.

And then pure white lotuses appeared, blooming continuously around the many predecessors.

Then, Song Shuhang saw that Chu Chu from the Chu Household and several other disciples of the Chu Household seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, lying quietly to one side and sleeping soundly.

What's going on?

As he drew closer, Song Shuhang felt countless strange sounds around him, solemn and sacred. These sounds did not come from the mouths of his predecessors, but rather were the sounds of 'Heaven and Earth' resonating with the intangible communication between the predecessors and the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the 'Enlightenment Stone' on Song Shuhang's body trembled slightly.

His mind seemed to clear up suddenly. These strange sounds entered Shuhang's ears, but he still couldn't understand them. However, some parts of Song Shuhang cultivation that had been difficult to grasp suddenly became clear.

The extraordinary phenomena arising from the exchange among the seniors alone benefited him greatly. Fortunately, Song Shuhang the Enlightenment Stone; otherwise, even if he had listened to the resonance of heaven and earth, he would have gained nothing.

"These seniors are all so amazing," Song Shuhang thought to himself, then approached them.

However... when Shuhang took five or six steps closer, he suddenly felt an incredibly heavy pressure fall on him.

The pressure was terrifying, even heavier than the pressure Yu Jiaojiao felt when she leaped over the 'Dragon Gate'.

Song Shuhang was almost crushed!

When powerful cultivators discuss the Dao, extraordinary phenomena will occur in the heavens and earth.

Weak cultivators cannot get close at all; if they try to approach, they will be impacted. Furthermore, if their cultivation level is insufficient, listening to the conversation can even damage their Dao Heart.

Therefore, the senior members in the group put the Chu Household into a coma to prevent them from being affected.

Song Shuhang had only been involved with cultivators for a short time; how could he possibly understand these things?

Fortunately, sensing someone approaching, Venerable White stopped explaining and turned to look in Song Shuhang's direction. Upon seeing Song Shuhang return, Venerable White smiled gently and waved to Song Shuhang.

Instantly, Song Shuhang felt a lightness in his body, and all the pressure disappeared!

He breathed a sigh of relief, jogged over to Venerable White, and sat down beside Venerable.

The senior members in the group smiled and glanced at Song Shuhang before continuing their discussion.

Their discussion was far too profound for Song Shuhang understand at his current level. He tried listening to a section, but it was like trying to see through a fog; his head was spinning, feeling like it was about to explode, so he had to give up.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the Enlightenment Stone and sat down next to Venerable White, lost in thought— the Enlightenment Stone was more effective when held in his palm than when placed in his pocket.

Because he was surrounded by senior members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Song Shuhang dared to take out the Enlightenment Stone.

The Enlightenment Stone transformed the 'resonance between the Great Dao' that arose during the discussions of the surrounding elders into various strange insights, which were then poured into Song Shuhang's mind. He just stood there in a daze, but in his mind, flashes of inspiration exploded like thunder in spring.

Similarly, when the seniors around me were discussing, I felt my comprehension ability had improved significantly. My thoughts flowed like a spring, unstoppable. All sorts of inspirations kept pouring out, and I became much more articulate.

"That's strange. Why do I feel like I'm in particularly good shape today?" Mad Saber Three Waves suddenly said.

Not only Three Waves, but other seniors also slowly chimed in to echo him.

Seeing the group of fellow cultivators looking puzzled, Venerable White smiled slightly and pointed to Song Shuhang, who was in a daze.

The seniors looked at Song Shuhang, and then... looked at the unremarkable stone in his hand, which had a small, tender scallion growing from it.

This little stone looks very ordinary. Does it have any special origin?

Suddenly, Northern River's Loose Cultivator raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "The Enlightenment Stone?"

"Hmm." Venerable White nodded with a smile.

True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey: "Enlightenment Stone? No wonder I felt particularly good today. Wait a minute... the Enlightenment Stone belongs to my friend Shuhang?"

The Venerable White nodded again.

True Lord Yellow Mountain: "..."

Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "..."

Mad Saber Three Waves: "..."

The senior members. "..."

I originally thought that when we discussed giving Song Shuhang a red envelope, Shuhang's gains at the 'First-Grade Realm' were already quite underwhelming. I never expected that he would have something like an 'Enlightenment Stone'.

Enlightenment Stone have always been known as a "minor cheat code" in the Cultivator World.

Although the effect of the 'Enlightenment Stone' will become weaker and weaker as the cultivator's level increases... however, when a large number of fellow cultivators are discussing and exchanging ideas together, such as today, even the slightest bit of 'comprehension' ability brought by the Enlightenment Stone can greatly benefit a senior cultivator of a higher level.

Sometimes, when discussing profound truths, what's missing is just that tiny bit of enlightenment, the one thing that breaks through the final barrier.

"Young friend Shuhang is truly blessed." It took True Lord Yellow Mountain a long time to squeeze out this sentence.

Or rather, after advancing to the Venerable Realm, has Senior White's Fortune and fortune increased from an "unparalleled" level to an "overwhelming" level?

The difference between the two is the difference between "Damn it, I'm going to defy the heavens!" and "Tsk tsk, let me hold the heavens in my palm again today."

Now that I know that my friend Song Shuhang has the Enlightenment Stone... I'm afraid Song Shuhang's house will have quite a few guests visiting in the future.

If any fellow cultivators in the group need to, they should visit Song Shuhang's home for a while. In fact, if young friend Song Shuhang is willing, he can even rent out the 'Enlightenment Stone' from time to time, which would provide him with a stable income.

"Wealth and possessions are what people are blinded by. As for the matter of Shuhang having the 'Enlightenment Stone,' it's best for the fellow Daoists in the group to know, but please don't spread it around." Northern River's Loose Cultivator reminded him. As a free spirit, he knew that 'treasures' could be both a blessing and a source of disaster.

The fellow practitioners in the group all know each other well, but if this gets out, it will spread from one person to another, and eventually it might reach the ears of some people with malicious intent.

"Of course, we've all been through this, we all know this in our hearts," said Mad Saber Three Waves.

Fortunately, it was a special cultivator group called 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.

"I'm not only saying this to everyone, but especially to you, young friend Shuhang," Northern River's Loose Cultivator said to Song Shuhang. "The Enlightenment Stone is extremely precious, far more so than you expect. Therefore, it shouldn't be easily displayed to others, lest someone harbor malicious intentions."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Northern River. I understand about that." Song Shuhang said earnestly. It was precisely because the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' were all around him, and the Chu Household had also fallen into a coma, that he took out the 'Enlightenment Stone'.

You see, Onion Lady originally came to rob him because she wanted his 'Enlightenment Stone'. If Onion Lady hadn't been so useless, she might have lost the Enlightenment Stone back then. Therefore, Song Shuhang was quite cautious in this regard.

However, when he spoke, his voice was crisp and clear, like a delicate 'Chu Chu'.

The senior members all looked at Shuhang with pity.

"It's good that you know," Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the Enlightenment Stone's effects, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had a long exchange.

After all the fellow Daoists resolved their doubts in one go, the discussion ended with satisfaction.

"At this moment, it would be even better if we had a pot of good tea," said the True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey.

"I feel that it would be great to have a tough, thick-skinned sparring partner right now. I have so many inspirations right now, and my sword is itching for a fight!" said Mad Saber Three Waves.
