"As expected of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, these few hundred words corrected three of my mistakes, saving me at least three years of hard work!"

On the stone platform, Zhou Chun withdrew his mind from his body and looked up at the figure on the high platform with a face full of joy and amazement, his eyes flashing with sincere admiration.

Just now, when Master Tianjing was explaining the path of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhou Chun found three mistakes in his own practice from the details he was talking about. These were all minor mistakes that he had not noticed in his usual cultivation.

Although these minor mistakes will not have any serious consequences for his cultivation, correcting them can help accelerate his cultivation progress.

It's only because his current cultivation level is close to the late Foundation Establishment stage that he could have saved himself at least ten years of cultivation time if he had discovered these things a few decades earlier!

This is the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

A Nascent Soul cultivator not only possesses the great supernatural power to move mountains and overturn seas, but is also the best mentor for other cultivators on their path of cultivation.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator is willing to spend time guiding younger cultivators, even without investing much cultivation resources, they can enable a cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude to catch up with those with high-grade spiritual root aptitude in terms of cultivation speed.

Unfortunately, Nascent Soul stage cultivators also need to cultivate and have many other things to do.

Even among the major sects that have several Nascent Soul stage cultivators, only a small number of cultivators can actually receive regular guidance from Nascent Soul stage cultivators in their cultivation.

Most cultivators will never have this opportunity in their lifetime!

Unfortunately, that was all Zhou Chun could hear.

When Master Tianjing preaches, only cultivators of the corresponding cultivation level can hear what he says.

In other words, when he explained the path of cultivation during the Qi Refining stage, all the cultivators present could hear him.

However, when the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation path was explained, those Qi Refining stage cultivators could not hear it.

Similarly, when he was explaining the cultivation path of the Purple Mansion stage, Zhou Chun and the other Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage cultivators could no longer hear him.

This was not because Master Tianjing was stingy, but to protect cultivators like Zhou Chun who lacked sufficient cultivation.

Otherwise, upon hearing about higher levels of cultivation, they might lose control and suffer a qi deviation, resulting in severed meridians and death!

Thus, in the previous day, Master Tianjing only explained his personal understanding of the four cultivation realms before the Nascent Soul stage.

The next day, he began to explain the way to cultivate and use magic.

According to the rules, the third day will be for resolving doubts, clearing up the confusion in the hearts of those who are destined to receive it.

To Zhou Chun's surprise, as the lecture was about to end on the second day, Master Tianjing suddenly spoke up, saying, "Today, all of you fellow Daoists have gathered here to listen to my lecture, which means you are destined to meet me. Therefore, I will impart a secret technique to you all here to forge good karma!"

After finishing speaking, he began to explain in detail the cultivation method of a secret technique.

The secret technique taught by Master Tianjing is called "Shooting Rainbow Sword Technique," and it is a rather unique attack technique.

Once mastered, this secret technique allows one to flick their finger and unleash a sharp rainbow sword aura to attack enemies. It is quite useful for dealing with enemies weaker than oneself or for testing the strength of a target.

Of course, this only applies to those cultivators with shallow foundations.

A cultivator like Zhou Chun, who practices top-tier techniques, would never look down on such a secret technique.

His "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light" can change in countless ways, making it many times more useful than this "Rainbow Shooting Sword Technique".

Having listened to the teachings of a Nascent Soul cultivator and received instruction from him, many cultivators present exclaimed that the trip was worthwhile, and felt heartfelt gratitude and respect for the senior cultivator, Heavenly Mirror Master.

Even Zhou Chun, who had previously suspected that Master Tianjing had ulterior motives in organizing this "Tianjing Dharma Assembly," fell silent at this moment.

The saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."

He and the other Zhou family cultivators had all gained a lot from this Dharma assembly. At this point, even if they didn't speak well of the host, they certainly had no reason to speak ill of them.

On the third day, Master Tianjing began to randomly select cultivators present who had questions or unresolved issues to answer their questions.

This "fate" likely refers to the personal liking of the Heavenly Mirror Master himself.

To put it simply, he will choose to help whoever he finds agreeable.

At that time, many cultivators in the square raised their hands to indicate that they had doubts that needed to be answered, including several Golden Core cultivators.

However, Master Tianjing glanced at them and only selected a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That must have been a cultivator from a small family; he was overjoyed to have been chosen.

He immediately bowed deeply to Master Tianjing, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Master. I would like to ask you, if a man mistakenly possesses a Xuan Yin constitution, causing an imbalance of Yin and Yang within his body, is there a way to resolve this once and for all?"

"Oh, that's quite a rare occurrence!"

A look of surprise flashed in Tianjing Zhenren's eyes; he was also somewhat astonished by the obscurity of the question.

After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly and said, "There are three solutions to the problem you mentioned."

"One method is to cultivate to the Purple Mansion stage, then abandon the original physical body and possess another, thus freeing oneself from the influence of the original constitution!"

"The second method is to find another female cultivator with a yang constitution. The two of them can use the dual cultivation technique to harmonize the yin and yang energies in each other's bodies. In this way, the two of them will no longer be limited by their constitutions, but will instead greatly benefit their cultivation."

"Thirdly, one can cultivate certain special techniques, such as the 'Corpse Soul True Scripture' secretly passed down by the Corpse Demon Sect of Feng Kingdom, which transforms the body into a half-human, half-corpse state, thus eliminating physical limitations; or one can cultivate the 'Inverted Yin-Yang True Scripture,' which allows a man to transform into a woman, completely converting himself into a female body!"

Although he was only a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, True Person Tianjing truly lived up to his reputation as a Nascent Soul cultivator. After only a short period of contemplation, he provided three solutions to this obscure problem.

This profound knowledge made many cultivators in the arena want to become that "destined one".

Those who were chosen next asked all sorts of questions.

Some people ask questions related to spiritual practice, hoping that the Celestial Mirror Master can guide them to break through their current bottlenecks.

Some people asked about healing, wanting to ask Master Tianjing how to treat the hidden injuries and poisoning injuries left in their own bodies or those of their relatives and friends.

Others asked about certain special spiritual objects, wanting to know where to find such special spiritual objects.

Master Tianjing was able to provide satisfactory answers to most of these questions.

Even if he can't answer a question, he'll make people ask him a question they can answer.

Although Zhou Chun and the rest of the Zhou family were not selected, they still broadened their horizons and gained a lot of useful knowledge in the process of asking and answering questions.

When the third day passed and Master Tianjing announced the end, many cultivators present felt a sense of unfinished business.

"Alright, the time is almost up. Let's conclude this Dharma assembly here. Fellow Daoists, take care!"

On the central platform, Master Tianjing calmly announced the end of the Dharma assembly. Then, just as he had appeared before, he transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing from the sight of the many cultivators.

"This junior respectfully bids farewell to the Venerable Ancestor (the True Man)!"

In the square, Zhou Chun and many other cultivators stood up and bowed to see off True Person Tianjing.

Then a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage from Tianjing Manor stepped forward and announced the end of the ceremony, saying that everyone could leave.

"Is that all? Is this all there is to this sermon?"

After leaving Tianjing Manor, Zhou Chun looked back at the place behind him, his heart filled with doubt.

He didn't believe that the Heavenly Mirror Immortal convened this sermon simply to benefit future generations and bring blessings to the cultivation world.

Considering that the other party has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a few years, even if they have stabilized their cultivation by now, they should still have many things to do.

If it's truly just for the benefit of future generations, then one could simply wait until one has finished dealing with those important matters before doing this.

There is absolutely no need to rush to hold a sermon or Dharma assembly at this time.

"There's no need for so much speculation. Whatever their plans, we just need to observe how things develop. Overthinking will only cause us unnecessary trouble!"

Seeing that Zhou Chun was still somewhat fixated on guessing Tianjing Zhenren's plans, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but comfort the younger generation through telepathy.

He also knew that Zhou Chun's identity made her think about these things.

He had always admired Zhou Chun's personality.

But now, he hopes that this junior can improve his own cultivation.

After the Zhou family acquired three cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, Zhou Daoyi understood the situation.

From now on, the Zhou family needs more than just a patriarch with outstanding family management skills; it needs a Golden Core cultivator, a powerful figure who can make the Zhou family a Golden Core family once again.

Of the three Zhou family cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, Zhou Daoyi couldn't discern which one had the potential to form a Golden Core.

Their potential may have reached its limit.

Therefore, both he and Zhou Mingde are now pinning their hopes on Zhou Chun.

It wasn't just because Zhou Chun cultivated the top-tier martial art "Golden Cauldron Profound Skill," but also because Zhou Chun was young, extremely young.

Youth is your greatest asset!

All three of them were over two hundred years old, or nearly two hundred years old, before they successfully opened their Purple Mansion.

However, Zhou Chun had the opportunity to open the Purple Mansion a century earlier than them.

If Zhou Chunzhen manages to do this, he will have a hundred years more time than them to break through to the Golden Core stage, which is crucial.

After being comforted by Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun stopped thinking about it and the group quickly returned to their family.

After returning to their families, Zhou Chun and the others went back to their residences and devoted themselves to reviewing what they had gained from the previous Dharma assembly, writing it down on paper to leave their thoughts and feelings.

In this way, even those Zhou family cultivators who did not attend the Dharma assembly could find something beneficial to themselves.

After another half month of such busy work, a piece of news suddenly ignited the entire cultivation world of Jing Kingdom.

Lingzhou has declared independence!

On the twelfth day after the "Heavenly Mirror Dharma Assembly" ended, dozens of cultivation families in Lingzhou announced that they had broken away from Qinglian Temple and turned their allegiance to Heavenly Mirror Manor.

All cultivation forces that refused to pledge allegiance to Tianjing Manor were expelled from Lingzhou.

This even includes the Xuanzhu Palace, a cultivation sect originally located within Lingzhou.

This sect, whose ancestors once produced Nascent Soul stage cultivators, could no longer defend its mountain gate and was forced to relocate to the territory of the Moon Wheel Sect.

The original mountain gate of Xuanzhu Palace became the Daoist temple of Tianjing Zhenren, and Tianjing Manor was also moved there.

At the same time, Tianjing Manor was officially renamed "Tianjing Sect" and began to open its gates to the public to recruit disciples.

The three major powers in Yasukuni remained unusually silent in the face of this series of changes.

Even the Qinglian Temple, which originally held control of Lingzhou, did not express any opinion on this matter, as if it had tacitly accepted it.

"What exactly do these three major forces mean? Have they already reached an agreement with Master Tianjing to allow the Tianjing Sect to become the fourth largest sect in Jing Kingdom?"

"If that's the case, they should logically send a highly respected cultivator to personally offer their congratulations. Why haven't they said a single word?"

Inside the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Chun looked at the information sent by the eagle's message, and while he was extremely shocked, he also had many questions.

With these questions in mind, he immediately went to the mountaintop cave and reported the matter to the two Supreme Elders.

"Silence doesn't necessarily mean acquiescence; it could also mean that the person hasn't yet decided how to handle the situation!"

"Let's wait and see. Before the three major sects express their stance, we'll remain silent as well. If anyone brings up this matter, try not to comment!"

After pondering for a while, Zhou Mingde spoke first.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Daoyi immediately added, "Zhengchun, you shouldn't go to Longxing Valley during this period, so that if anything needs your attention, it will be difficult to notify you."

"Yes, I understand what to do."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately withdrew.

What the Zhou family members never expected was that, just a few days later, something else happened that was extremely relevant to them.

It turned out that just a few days after the establishment of the "Heavenly Mirror Sect", Yu Jinghua of the Spirit Beast Manor led a group of disciples to join the Heavenly Mirror Sect.

Furthermore, Yu Jinghua, as a Golden Core cultivator, was directly appointed as the deputy sect leader of the Heavenly Mirror Sect!

"That bastard! Yu Jinghua deserves to die!"

On Pagoda Peak, upon learning of this incident, Zhou Mingde was immediately enraged and began to shout curses.

Seeing his agitated state, Zhou Chun assumed he was worried that this matter would implicate the Zhou family, and quickly comforted him, saying, "Elder, please calm down. Our Zhou family has long since severed ties with Yu Jinghua. Even if he joins the Tianjing Sect, the Qinglian Temple will most likely not implicate our Zhou family because of this."

"Ah, you don't understand. I'm not angry because I'm worried that the Zhou family will be implicated by Yu Jinghua. I'm angry that this scoundrel Yu Jinghua handed over the Zhou family's inheritance to someone else, bringing shame to our ancestors!"

Zhou Mingde let out a long sigh and, with a face full of anger, explained the reason for his anger.

This only confused Zhou Chun more.

Wasn't the Zhou family's legacy already leaked to outsiders when Yu Jinghua established the Spirit Beast Manor?

So he immediately asked, "What makes you say that?"

"This all started when the family divided their property!"

Zhou Mingde opened his mouth, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had made a decision, and immediately began to talk about a secret that Zhou Chun did not know.

Sigh! I couldn't finish two updates today because of some things! I'm writing the second update now, and I'll try to update one chapter tomorrow morning!
