I’m the MC, Why Do I Suck at Cultivation

Chapter 47: I Wish Everyone in This World Could Soar up Into the Sky With One Start Like A Dragon!

The Hall of Discussion of Dao.

Everyone was staring at Lu Changsheng.

This question which was raised by Zhang Zhen pierced into all of their hearts.

It was true, even an Immediate disciple was desperate, then what about them?

They kept convincing themselves that Heaven rewarded the diligent, but they couldn’t see any hope no matter how hard they pushed themselves.

What was the path of cultivation?

Where should they go?

Everybody could understand the great truth, but the bitterness it caused could only be tasted by themselves.

Countless cultivators were desperate.

Countless cultivators were lost.

Where should they go?

This question was very profound.

When people were busy, they usually wouldn’t think about this. However, when they had some free time, their minds would become restless.

A lot of cultivators were led astray because of this very fact.

When you work extremely hard to pursue your dream but realize that this dream was never going to come true— What would you do then?

Some chose to abandon themselves, others turned to evil martial techniques. And there are even a few who became major threats to the world, all to fulfill their desires.

A lot of those cultivators were possessed by their evil thoughts.

All of the saint lands shared a common convention. A grand ceremony was held every year to dissuade cultivators from doing evil. Once a cultivator became possessed by his evil thoughts, the consequences that would arise were extremely horrible.

In an empire, if a seventh-rank official was possessed by this, then countless people would suffer.

What if the person was a cultivator?

What if the person was a senior cultivator?

A horrible catastrophe would ensue.

Therefore, after this question was raised by Wang Zhen, besides the hundred thousand disciples in the hall, the senior leaders of the Zenith Land were also waiting for Lu Changsheng’s answer.

They were very curious. They wondered what Lu Changsheng would say to encourage them.

In the Hall of Discussion of Dao.

After spending some time thinking, Lu Changsheng slowly opened his mouth, “As Heaven keeps vigor through movement, a superior person should unremittingly practice self-improvement!”

That’s right. Lu Changsheng planned to use the Book of Changes[1] to answer the question.

The Book of Changes contained endless wisdom. The chapter on Qian was especially encouraging. These words could help people strengthen their willpower and get rid of negative thoughts.

Therefore, the Book of Changes provided the best answer for them right now.

When Lu Changsheng started answering this question, the long brewing unusual phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Lots of stars appeared in the sky as the entire Zenith Land bathed in the boundless starlight.

In the sky, billions of stars were giving off dazzling light.

Against the dark night sky, these stars were as bright as diamonds.

‘Bang!’

‘Bang!’

‘Bang!’

The cosmos was echoing.

The stars were shining so brightly that it almost seemed like the starlight could last for thousands of years.

At this moment, including Middle-Earth, the entire world of cultivation was shocked.

‘Bang!’

In the Academy of Saint Scholars in Middle-Earth, hundreds of statues responded to this unusual phenomenon again.

Someone in the academy exclaimed, “The statues are echoing! Is there someone with an article that can only be produced in a thousand years?”

This voice instantly caught everyone’s attention.

However, another voice slowly said, “It isn’t only in a thousand years. It’s peerless in this world!”

The person who said this was also deeply shocked.

———-

The four leading empires, Middle-Earth.

The four emperors were somehow standing outside of their palaces at the same time. Although they were in different places, they were all looking at the same direction while feeling extremely astonished.

This was because they saw a true dragon above the Zenith Land, a real one.

————

All the saint lands including the Eminent Violet Saint Land and the Saint Land of Tai Chi all responded to the unusual phenomenon.

This formidable unusual phenomenon swept Middle-Earth.

In the air, everyone witnessed the presence of a true dragon.

The size of the dragon was terrifying as it hovered above the Zenith Land.

“As Heaven keeps vigor through movement, a superior person should unremittingly practice self-improvement!”

Some scholars repeated and ruminated these words. Suddenly, light fell on them. This was the most righteous Qi!

“As heaven keeps vigor through movement, a superior person should unremittingly practice self-improvement!”

Some cultivators followed them and said these words. In an instant, the overwhelming spiritual air turned into a beam of light and shone upon them. This was the supreme spiritual air!

At the same time, many voices repeated together, “As heaven keeps vigor through movement, a superior person should unremittingly practice self-improvement!”

Although the sentence wasn’t long, the wisdom contained within was endless.

Why? Why should a superior person keep practicing self-improvement?

The Heavenly Dao was always vigorous and powerful. Following this example, cultivators should keep striving for a better future and avoid the tendency of being lazy!

No matter how rugged and rough the path was, as long as they were determined enough, they would finally be rewarded.

‘Buzz!’

‘Buzz!’

Countless voices from Middle-Earth joined together at this time.

The vague figures of the saint scholars looked so real, almost as if they were coming back to life.

The righteous Qi swept the world.

The immeasurable fortune released by billions of stars was also nurturing Middle-Earth.

In the east, countless powerful cultivators opened their enchanted eyes to watch the scene unfold before them. In their gazes, there was great admiration.

“This peerless article aims at dissuading cultivators from doing evil. The Heavenly Dao is even touched. Lu Changsheng’s merits and virtues will make Middle-Earth thrive for another hundred thousand years.”

One of the senior cultivators was deeply shocked at what he was seeing and made this comment.

However, in the Zenith Land.

Even though Lu Changsheng noticed the unusual phenomenon appear, he wasn’t surprised at all. But the united ancient voices indeed made his blood boil with excitement.

Lu Changsheng continued, “The hidden dragon? It’s of no use. All the yang is buried beneath. Once you see a dragon in a field, virtue spreads out everywhere. Finishing the day by giving and giving, returning again and again to the Dao. While possibly leaping into the abyss, facing one’s self, you’re a flying dragon in the sky. The greatness in people is what leads us. A proud dragon has regrets, you cannot fill up and go on and on. When using the nines, the virtue of the sky can have no chief!”

When Lu Changsheng started speaking, the vague figures of the saint scholars all instantly responded.

Formidable Literary Qi and the power of stars surrounded Lu Changsheng.

Then, Lu Changsheng rose into the air.

While in the air, his heart continued beating fast as his emotions surged.

Behind him was a map of stars.

“The Map of Heavenly Stars! That’s the Map of Heavenly Stars! It’s the most powerful unusual phenomenon ever!” Someone exclaimed from the Saint Land of Stars.

The entire world was shocked.

This was a true unusual phenomenon.

The Map of Heavenly Stars was regarded as the most powerful unusual phenomenon ever in history.

The owner of the map could use the power of billions of stars, this meant that his Dharmic powers would become endless.

Before today, this unusual phenomenon was only written in legends.

However, Lu Changsheng awakened this unusual phenomenon.

Even as this went on, Lu Changsheng didn’t stop talking, “The terrain is vast. Superior people carry themselves with great virtue.”

His voice made the billions of stars light up the entire Middle-Earth.

The Literary Arts Star also kept buzzing.

All the senior leaders of the Zenith Land were stunned.

This was especially for Perfected Qing Yun, he only wanted a simple lecture to be conducted after all.

However, such a peerless article was produced.

These words would be remembered by the world for more than a million years.

If he had known this earlier, he would have made Lu Changsheng share it with him secretly, and then he would be the one giving the lecture.

Perfected Qing Yun’s mind drifted away because of these strange thoughts, but soon after, he recovered his senses and stared at Lu Changsheng.

At this moment, vague figures started to appear behind Lu Changsheng.

Some were holding books.

Some were holding weapons.

Some were holding brushes.

Some were holding picture scrolls.

“This is… all of them are ancient philosophers!”

“This is the most powerful unusual phenomenon that can be awakened by a scholar! The Hundred Schools of Thoughts!”

“I’m watching it with my own eyes! The Hundred Schools of Thoughts! My life is complete now! I have no more regrets!”

All of the scholars exclaimed.

They were completely stunned at the scene.

Lu Changsheng also awakened another unusual phenomenon.

The Hundred Schools of Thoughts!

At this time, Lu Changsheng paused a second after reading the state of Qian and Kun.

However, this wasn’t the end of his lecture.

As if his voice came from another world, it could be heard by the entire world of cultivation.

“I’m Lu Changsheng. I wish everyone in this world could soar up into the sky with one start like a dragon!”

When Lu Changsheng finished, everyone’s minds completely went blank.

The black and yellow air spread out between Heaven and Earth.

The supreme clouds of merits and virtues appeared again.
