From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 64 Initial Success in Supernatural Powers (Please continue reading!)

After Ai Ping joined the company, it didn't cause much of a stir, and life continued uneventfully.

You Ming was sitting cross-legged in the temple of the underworld, cultivating. Having reached the Xuan Guang realm, every bit of progress in his cultivation required a lot of time to hone. Even though he had the newly added spiritual vein source to supply spiritual energy and invested at least twenty strands of divine power in cultivation every month, his progress was still slow.

However, he also had a very good mindset. He knew that there was a huge chasm between the lower three realms and the middle three realms, and he was even prepared to spend a hundred years cultivating.

Anyway, he has a lifespan of three hundred years, so he has plenty of time.

However, on this day, a clear sound came from behind the temple, like a bell or the wind, but there was no drumming or music in response.

But suddenly, a ray of light seemed to appear out of thin air.

This light was neither fire nor thunder; it burned without dazzling, and shone without being overwhelming. At first, it appeared as a thin thread, but in the blink of an eye, it surged in like a tide, eventually transforming into a pure white flame that directly entered the Radiant Seed in his mind.

Since absorbing "lightning" last time, the evolution speed of Yao has slowed down a lot, because he has absorbed almost all the radiance that Yumin can access within his ability range.

He has absorbed all kinds of light, including starlight, moonlight, sunlight, firelight, lightning, and even the light of motherhood and the light of culture.

However, this seed is only growing stronger, and the day it will hatch is still a long way off.

But today, as this ray of light entered, the Radiant Seed slowly unfolded in the void like a flower.

Its shape is like a candle but not a candle, like a lotus but not a lotus. It is enveloped in a soft yet stable aura, and its light envelops the mind, making it calm and clear.

You Ming felt a jolt in his mind. He felt a radiance emanating from the lotus-like radiant seed, surrounding his body. Then the lotus withered and transformed into a crystal-clear rune, like the surface of a seal.

The runes were complex, like a collection of countless celestial scripts and seal scripts. Without his current level of comprehension, he couldn't quite understand them.

In an instant, his eyes shone with a golden light, with a faint flame burning within them, instantly illuminating the entire temple.

The supernatural power [Returning to the Origin of Radiance] has successfully hatched!
His eyes were piercing, as if they could see into people's true nature and see through obstacles to reveal the truth. Many invisibility techniques, illusions, and false appearances were all useless in front of him.

At the same time, its imprint, like a mirror, hung between Youming's spiritual platform, illuminating his entire brain. All the shortcomings in his past cultivation were revealed, and the flaws that he previously thought he could detect with the help of the Radiant Seed now turned out to be many that could be remedied.

The brilliance in his mind also instilled in him a resolute heart, enabling him to instantly understand his true nature and make decisive decisions when faced with indecisive situations.

After a while, when You Ming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes seemed to reflect the light of everything, like the clearest mirror lake in the world.

If he were to use the cheat code 【Equal Adjustment】 at this moment, he would find that his appearance has changed from 1 point to 2 points.

"As expected of a great supernatural power, it's truly amazing."

You Ming let out a long breath. Although the [Radiant Return to Origin] divine power did not seem particularly amazing in terms of its performance, and it did not have any techniques for fighting or defending against enemies, with this divine power he could always discover the flaws in his cultivation, constantly make up for his foundation, and always let his mind shine with brilliance, making it difficult for external evils to invade.

This is simply the most powerful auxiliary divine ability in the world, something that any cultivator would crave.

But why did this Radiant Seed suddenly break through?
Suddenly, You Ming felt a sense of unease, and with a flicker of his body, he was outside the temple.

Standing at the highest point of Yuanling Mountain, you can see the school that has already been built at the foot of the mountain.

Although it is called a school, its scale is comparable to that of an academy.

The school covers nearly 100 acres, with dozens of buildings scattered throughout, including a large open space in the middle for use as a drill ground. Today is the official opening day of the school.

Although those exceptionally gifted children are still infants, the school certainly cannot wait until they are four or five years old before starting. Only by preparing in advance can sufficient experience be accumulated.

All children aged five to fourteen in the ten villages under You Ming's jurisdiction are allowed to attend school. Not only is tuition waived, but lunch is also provided.

According to the requirements put forward by the Shinto sect to all the major sects, lunch must include meat and vegetables, and there is no limit to the amount of food each child can eat.

This requirement would be a huge burden for any force in the mortal world, but it is insignificant to the Taoist sect.

Every Taoist sect has considerable assets in the human world. After all, the expenses of cultivating immortality are much greater, so a little bit of food and flesh is nothing to them.

They even felt that this alone was not enough, so they also provided medicinal soups to replenish the children's energy.

Of course, their main purpose was to lay a foundation for those children with good aptitude in advance, but since the Shinto required everyone to be treated equally, they could only accept it reluctantly.

Fortunately, mortals have limited physical strength, so even if all the children were provided with medicinal meals, it wouldn't increase the cost too much.

The school's curriculum combined both academic and martial arts training. In the mornings, students would practice martial arts to build their physical strength, while in the afternoons they would learn to read and write and study culture.

In the eyes of the major Daoist sects, they only value children with good innate talent, who can be brought back to their sects to cultivate immortality and seek the Dao. But in the eyes of the Divine Path, ordinary students are more important.

These ordinary students study culture and practice martial arts. As long as they are not too unlucky, they will most likely make a name for themselves in the future.

And these people are all excellent candidates for Shintoism.

Therefore, the joint establishment of this school by the two immortals is a win-win or even a win-win-win situation.

After all, in this day and age, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get an education, but now there are free educational resources, which is enough for them to achieve upward social mobility.

You Ming looked up at the sky above the school, where a faint glow seemed to symbolize wisdom and enlightenment.

A faint sense of understanding welled up in his heart.

This move is unprecedented in the county, enabling rural children to develop their intelligence and character, and its impact is extremely far-reaching.

Therefore, above the school, the light of humanity suddenly rose up.

Because the root of all this lies in Youming's [Breeding Pact] and [Nurturing All Things] abilities.

If it weren't for the fact that a large number of exceptionally talented children were born under his influence, those stingy Taoist sects would never have partnered with the Divine Path to open a school.

Therefore, a ray of this "humanity's light" actually separated and fell on You Ming.

Even a single wisp is enough for the Radiant Seed to fully mature.

It is foreseeable that if one day he were to take control of the birth control of the entire county or prefecture, the light of humanity would grow to an unimaginable extent.
