Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

It was like an invisible slap in Xiao Wancheng's face—even though you have slunk away, this slap still echoes loudly in the Yang family's wedding hall!

Secondly, it also swept over many of the Dao Alliance elders present!

Yang Yifang's anger led him to expel his son-in-law and sever ties with his daughter, which certainly had its aspects of stubbornness.

But what's even more chilling is that when Xiao Wancheng, relying on his power, forced his way into the wedding hall and tried to seize the groom...

Aside from the three impetuous young men, Wang Quanba, Yang Yitan, and Wang Quanzui, who stepped forward, and Mr. Fei who spoke out for justice, there were no other incidents.

What about the other senior members of the Dao Alliance who held high positions and were highly respected?

They chose silence, chose to protect themselves, and chose to stand by and watch!

Qin Chuan used the word "contempt" to completely strip away their pitiful thoughts of "maturity and prudence" and "considering the overall situation"!

This is contempt for their failure to uphold justice and defend the dignity of the Dao Alliance members at crucial moments!

It is a form of contempt for those who have status and power but lack responsibility!

This implication, like an invisible sword, precisely pierced the heart of every elder present.

Their faces instantly turned extremely ugly, alternating between pale and flushed, showing shame, embarrassment, and even more anger at Qin Chuan for slapping them so mercilessly.

However, when their gazes met Qin Chuan's calm yet unfathomable eyes, the anger that had just risen was instantly extinguished, leaving only deep fear and a sense of powerlessness.

Qin Chuan's reputation for defeating Wang Quan Shouzhuo with a single strike, along with his miraculous ability to directly manifest memories, were like an invisible mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe and preventing them from even having the slightest thought of retaliating.

He could only endure the embarrassment, standing there with a livid face.

Qin Chuan took in the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, especially those of the elders, and smiled contemptuously.

He didn't stop there; instead, he spoke again, his voice still calm, yet it resonated like thunder in everyone's hearts:

He seemed to have just remembered something trivial, his gaze casually sweeping across the crowd, as if searching for something, or perhaps just mentioning it offhand:

"If you are curious about my cultivation path, my thoughts and insights, you need not waste your time on unorthodox methods or planting spies on my Qingyun Peak."

He paused, clearly seeing the panic and embarrassment that flashed in some people's eyes.

"The Dao is in the world, not my private property. From this day forward, anyone who aspires to the righteous path and seeks the ultimate truth of heaven and earth may come to the Scripture Pavilion on Qingyun Peak to read it."

Qin Chuan's voice carried a transcendent quality, as if looking down upon all living beings.

"What is recorded here is not merely the method of Qin alone, but also the sparks of wisdom from countless sages of the past. Should the method not be lightly passed on? How can we remain stagnant and allow the path to be obscured! Passing on the torch is the true path of the Great Way!"

If the naming ceremony just now was a thunderclap, then this declaration is a deafening tsunami!

The library is open to all seekers of the Dao?!

What have I gained, thought, and realized along the way?

A spark of wisdom emanating from the convergence of countless sages?!

Is it true that "the law should not be easily passed on" to be a sign of being stuck in old ways?

Is passing the torch from generation to generation the true path?

This completely overturns the thousand-year-old tradition of Dao Alliance families who cherish their heritage and regard it as their lifeblood!

Qin Chuan not only publicly shared his core techniques and insights, but also positioned them as "gains from the path of cultivation" and "public assets of the world," even elevating the act of opening them up to the level of "passing on the torch"!

This is no longer simple generosity, but a Daoist declaration that is almost arrogant yet irrefutable!

The enormous shock, like a real shockwave, swept through the entire wedding hall!

Everyone stood frozen in place, their minds blank, and even their breathing almost stopped.

Those prominent families were completely dumbfounded. The information they had racked their brains to obtain was so casually and proactively announced to the world by Qin Chuan in an almost preaching manner.

The goal was delivered to everyone in a way they never dreamed of?

Absurd? Shocking? Or is it awe of Qin Chuan's unfathomable confidence and grand vision?

Countless emotions intertwined and shifted on everyone's faces, ultimately leaving only a blank stare and an endless lingering impression of the four words "passing on the torch".

Among the younger generation, the reaction was more intense and complex.

Yang Yitan's third eye suddenly opened, and an unprecedented brilliance burst forth from its golden pupil!

He stared intently at Qin Chuan, his chest heaving violently.

Before his sister's pain from being expelled from the family had subsided, Qin Chuan first sheltered his sister's family and then made such a resounding declaration!

This declaration, like a lightning bolt, shattered the barriers of family tradition, illuminating his pure and fervent yearning for the "Tao."

All sectarianism and clinging to outdated ideas appear so narrow-minded and laughable in the face of the great principle of "passing on the torch"!

An indescribable surge of excitement and reverence welled up within him.

Wang Quanba and his sister Wang Quanzui, however, had a different mindset.

Their feelings toward Qin Chuan were extremely complex.

Qin Chuan was the one who defeated their father, Wang Quan Shouzhuo, an insurmountable mountain in their hearts, and also an "opponent" in a certain sense.

But today, they witnessed firsthand how Qin Chuan swiftly shattered Xiao Wancheng's scheme, how he used the word "contempt" to slap the faces of all the elders in the hall, and at this moment, they heard this declaration that was enough to overturn the entire cultivation world!

Wang Quanba pursed his lips, his eyes sharp as swords, scrutinizing Qin Chuan repeatedly.

The lingering resentment he harbored due to his father's defeat was now shattered by the immense shock.

Qin Chuan's behavior completely exceeded the cognitive framework of the scions of aristocratic families—powerful, domineering, yet possessing an almost arrogant generosity and magnanimity!

He had to admit that he, Wang Quan, and his empire lacked this kind of spirit!

For the first time, his gaze toward Qin Chuan was no longer simply one of wariness or defiance, but rather a mixture of indescribable shock and a hint of admiration that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

Wang Quanzui opened her mouth wide, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

She hated that Qin Chuan defeated her father, but the vision and strength that Qin Chuan was showing at this moment made her feel that her father's defeat was not unjust.

The phrase "passing on the torch" resonated strongly in her young heart, making her vaguely realize for the first time that power might not only be used to protect the family, but could also have a grander meaning.

Li Zizai, Zhang Zheng, Qingmu Yuan, and other young talents were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, exchanging excited glances with each other.

They were originally a group of young people who were unwilling to be bound by their families and eager to explore the unknown.

Qin Chuan's actions were practically the embodiment of their ideals!

By opening the library, the Daoist teachings will no longer be monopolized by aristocratic families, and all seekers of the Dao will have the opportunity to access a wider world!

This is far grander and more aboveboard than their private dreams of "exploring outside the circle"!

Qin Chuan ignored the stunned crowd, who stood frozen like stone statues, and the turmoil in the hearts of the young people.

He looked at Yang Yan and Mu Renzhi, who were still kneeling before him, and his tone softened slightly:

"This place is no longer a place to stay for long. If you two are willing, you can come back to Qingyun Sect with me for the time being. We will make further arrangements after the child is born."

"Yes! We are willing!"

Yang Yan and Mu Renzhi spoke almost in unison, their voices filled with gratitude and relief.

At this moment, Qingyun Sect was nothing less than a safe haven away from the storm in their hearts.

Qin Chuan nodded and said to Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was still blinking her big eyes thoughtfully at the phrase "passing on the torch," "Ya Ya, let's go."

"Ah? Oh!"

Ya Ya snapped out of her daze, quickly slung her precious wine gourd over her shoulder, and skipped after them.

Qin Chuan turned around, his green robe fluttering slightly.

He led Tu Shan Ya Ya, along with the Yang Yan couple who had survived the ordeal and were helping each other to their feet, and calmly walked out of the Yang family wedding hall, a place filled with tragicomic farce and now completely overturned by countless shocked, awe-inspiring, bewildered, and complex gazes, under the watchful eyes of many.

Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, Yang Yi Tan, Wang Quan Zui, Li Zi Zai...

All the young eyes followed the figure in the blue robe, their expressions complex and unfathomable, the turmoil in their hearts lingering for a long time.

The red silk remains, but the gongs and drums have long since fallen silent.

All that remained was a scene of utter chaos and a shocking piece of news destined to shake the entire Dao Alliance, and even the entire human and demon realms.

The Qingyun Peak Sutra Repository has opened its doors to seekers of the Dao from all over the world. Its lofty aspirations and magnanimous spirit cannot be fully encompassed by the word "openness".

Chapter 21 Ten Years

Qingyun Peak, Sutra Repository.

This once tranquil pavilion now attracts seekers of the Dao from all directions like a magnet.

The mountain path was bustling with people: weary wandering cultivators, eager young cultivators, and even ordinary people. They were filled with awe and curiosity, their eyes fixed on the gate that symbolized the boundless Dao.

Qin Li, Qin Chuan's chief disciple, stood tall and straight in front of the pavilion.

His expression was solemn, and his voice clearly reached the ears of every living being who stepped into this place:

"The Library of Scriptures is open to all, regardless of background. There is only one ironclad rule: those who violate the teachings of the Library shall not use them for evil deeds or to bring chaos to the people. Violators will be punished to the ends of the earth! They will bear the consequences themselves, so do not say you were not warned!"

This brief yet weighty declaration, along with Qin Chuan's soaring reputation, became an invisible shackle on the hearts of all those who coveted the treasures within the pavilion, ensuring order in this sacred land of knowledge.

Qin Li added:

"In addition, you may leave your own cultivation methods in the Sutra Repository to share with the world, and Master will improve them."

Initially, everyone was skeptical of Qin Chuan's promise that "the techniques he left behind could be improved."

Until an old rogue cultivator who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years hesitated again and again, he engraved his family's treasured but low-grade cultivation technique, "Rock Solid Technique," onto a jade slip and carefully placed it in the "shared area."

Just a few days later, an improved cultivation method called "The True Explanation of the Mysterious Stone" appeared on the newly recorded jade disc.

The technique retains its original robust defensive characteristics, but it has been exquisitely optimized in terms of spiritual energy circulation efficiency, meridian nourishment, and even the technique of borrowing force to counterattack, resulting in a power and potential that has more than doubled!

Witnessing firsthand the old rogue cultivator's tears of excitement streaming down his face in front of the Scripture Pavilion, and the overwhelming aura he displayed while demonstrating the new technique, all doubts were instantly replaced by ignited enthusiasm.

A frenzy is sweeping in!

Small and medium-sized sects, declining aristocratic families, and countless rogue cultivators eager for breakthroughs all left behind their treasured, or even less sophisticated, cultivation techniques and secret arts.

For them, these techniques were not top-notch to begin with, and it would be difficult to achieve great success if they kept them hidden. Now, being able to exchange them for a completely transformed technique that leads to a higher level is nothing short of a life-saving grace!

The "shared area" of the Scripture Pavilion was filling and expanding at an astonishing rate. Cultivation techniques, spellbooks, array diagrams, talismans and elixir recipes... it was all-encompassing and vast.

With his extraordinary comprehension and profound insight into the laws of heaven and earth, Qin Chuan made remarkable improvements to the techniques offered to him.

Each new and improved exercise method is met with amazement and heartfelt gratitude.
