From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 76 The Little Carp with Exceptional Comprehension (Fourth Update)
You Ming seemed to enter a deeper realm, with countless texts about past cultivation methods appearing in his mind.

At this moment, whether it was the "Treasured Book of Rivers and Seas," the more advanced "Listening to the Tide Cleansing the Mind Codex," or the "Mirror Lake Dream Weaving Divine Codex," as well as all the texts he had ever heard, they were all separated, rearranged, and mixed together.

His mind was blank, and the magic power within his body was left to its own devices.

You Ming wasn't concerned with how the magic power within his body circulated; he simply held fast to the character "Source" formed by the Heavenly Book of Insects.

Just like the crisscrossing waterways on land, once they flow out from their source, they naturally rush forward along the mountains and land, forming fixed river channels.

While artificially created rivers may be convenient, they inevitably lose some of their natural essence.

At this moment, You Ming wanted to forget the trajectory of the magic power's operation and let the magic power flow along his body on its own, eventually forming a "river" that was the trajectory of the magic power's operation.

Even if a fixed trajectory is formed, these trajectories are still not very important to Youming.

As long as he guards the source, even if the trajectory changes, the water veins are still the same water veins, and it doesn't matter how the river channel changes.

A sudden realization dawned on You Ming. In his mind, all the changes vanished, leaving only the character "源" (Source) that kept flipping, changing, and wandering.

"call."

Outside, a gentle breeze suddenly arose from his body.

The gentle breeze, seemingly light and airy, swept across the entire lake in an instant, causing everyone's minds to waver and lose their composure.

Dozens of people's bodies seemed to float up like sheets of paper, heading towards the outside world and appearing in the City God's realm in the blink of an eye.

Their faces were pale, but a dark aura lingered between their brows.

As the first few to be eliminated, they looked extremely grim. Although they had long been prepared not to make it to the end, they still hoped to stay in Qinglian-jun's dream for a longer time, at least to gain more insights.

Unlike now, my mind is completely blank except for a dazed feeling.

"This is a [Classic] level cultivation technique, how could someone comprehend it so quickly?"

Not only them, but all the cultivators present were shaken.

Because this is entering Qinglianjun's dream, all those who have already achieved Yin God status are afraid of being corrupted by the thoughts of the gods. Therefore, most of those who enter here are Xuan Guang cultivators, and there are even a few young people who have just "opened their minds".

Even those with exceptional natural comprehension need time to gradually comprehend such profound teachings.

"Hmm? It's a carp?"

Within the City God's realm, everyone finally saw clearly who had stirred up the breeze.

All that could be seen was a multicolored carp deep in thought, but around its body, gentle breezes blew, causing the lake's surface to ripple and making it difficult for anyone to even stand.

"Such high comprehension! It's even making it difficult for cultivators of the same level to comprehend it!"

In Qinglianjun's enlightenment dream, everyone competes on who has the highest level of comprehension; the one with the highest comprehension wins everything.

This isn't about being domineering or not; for the path of immortality, the higher one goes, the narrower the path inevitably becomes.

The higher you go, the more you have to compete.

Even at higher levels of the Great Dao scriptures, it is said that the number of people who can see the scriptures is limited. Once a sufficient number of people have seen it, the Great Dao scripture will be completely hidden deep within the world and will never reappear.

This little carp, however, clearly had a much higher level of understanding than the others.

"It's him again!" Among all the cultivators who had entered the dream, Li Zhengyuan's body swayed, and a feeling of anger and fear suddenly rose in his heart.

He felt that nothing good ever came from encountering this carp!
I hope this thing won't bring bad luck to me.

Li Zhengyuan's gaze swept over You Ming, but then turned to a boy sitting cross-legged in the middle.

In the shadows, several cultivators formed a protective encirclement around the boy.

For Li Zhengyuan, he could only be called a genius in Tai'an Prefecture. Looking at the whole of Bingzhou and even the whole country, he was nothing special.

Among the Taoist sects in the world today, the most renowned are the Five Clouds, the Four Heroes, and the Three Heroes. These are individuals whose destinies were calculated by the patriarchs of various Taoist sects and who were born with great fortune.

The young man Li Zhengyuan is looking at now is He Yunlong, one of the Five Clouds.

He is a disciple of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, one of the major sects of Taoism.

"What's going on? How did a demon get in?"

Within the City God's realm, several Taoist elders, upon seeing a small carp with such exceptional comprehension, were both astonished and somewhat indignant.

What kind of creature, covered in scales and armor, is worthy of learning such profound teachings?

Within the Taoist community, there is a certain degree of discrimination against demons or non-human races in general.

This is also related to the innate cultivation aptitude of the demon race.

The demon race has a long history, even longer than that of humans. Therefore, the demon race also has its own cultivation methods. However, the demon race was the defeated side in the war and was completely scattered into a rabble.

Therefore, if demons want to cultivate, besides taking the crude path of digging into their own bloodline, they can only learn human methods.

However, human cultivation emphasizes intelligence and foundation, making it naturally very difficult for demons to cultivate.

Many demons even go so far as to sever their own flesh and reincarnate, hoping to be reborn as humans in the next life and be guided by their elders to embark on cultivation again, rather than wasting this life.

"Bullshit! What demon race? They're clearly my gods and spirits!"

At the very bottom of the list, the River God of Fengshui stood up and started cursing at the Taoist priest.

After all, the human cultivator's words involved an insult to the River God.

"Since it is a deity, why was it sent into Qinglian-jun's dream? Is Qinglian-jun repaying the karma of my Daoist patriarch? Does the final fruit have to fall into your divine hands?"

The cultivator was not afraid at all. This matter was promised by the Divine Path to all the major sects. How could they go back on their word?

The River God was speechless for a moment, but didn't know how to refute it.

"Don't confuse things, you scoundrel. Qinglian-jun only said he was repaying the karma of the immortal path, not that he was repaying the karma of your sect. Do you think you, the sect behind you, or all of your sects combined can represent the immortal path?"

Among all the deities, the City God of Changning County stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.

The Taoist sect is only a part of the Immortal Path, but it absolutely does not represent the Immortal Path.

"If what you all see is correct, this carp is of pure nature and has excellent qualities. Although it is a member of the divine path, it also cultivates the immortal path. How can it not be considered a member of the immortal path?"

The county god sneered; when it came to eloquence, he was far superior to these cultivators.
