Chapter 535 -346 ‘Five Virtues Theory’ and ‘Eastern Travel Record’_2
Chapter Three “The Head Exchange”
Chapter Four… The book read, “Daoist Qingping paid homage to the Four Directions Heavenly Emperor and chanted the Five Passes Summoning God Technique, quickly calling forth a group of snakes and pythons that were a dense patch of various colors, the largest coiled like a mountain while the smallest as thin as silk threads. The Daoist pinched a spell between his fingers and muttered under his breath, ‘By the command of the Five Passes, serpents heed the True Monarch, come out…!'”
“Eastern Travel Record” leaned towards the humorous, its stories were bizarre yet intriguing, and its lines seemed to be filled with a sort of magic. Even Gu Yu, with his experience, found it immensely engaging.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, a clear and deep bell sound suddenly rang out from the hall, instantly waking everyone absorbed in the book.
Zhao Sheng cast his gaze over the crowd before he began, “You’ve all roughly finished reading the two books, what do you think?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!”
“Who is the sage behind this ‘Five Virtues Theory’? Truly, every word is a gem. I hold nothing but the utmost admiration.”
“Brother Liu speaks truly. The ‘Five Virtues Theory’ with its three thousand grand words is nothing short of profound in its simplicity, vast and deep. It is likely the work of some Divinity Transformation True Monarch.”
“The ‘Five Virtues Theory’ is undoubtedly mysterious and unfathomable, but I find the ‘Eastern Travel Record’ to be of much deeper meaning. Its stories all draw from the everyday life of the Mortal World, and the alchemy and martial arts presented at the end are very simple and practical, beneficial not only to mortals, but also to us. The intention behind the work of the Senior who composed this book is profound and beyond our reach.”
“Heh, ‘Eastern Travel Record’ is just a novel, it can hardly match ‘Five Virtues Theory.’ Besides, it makes frequent mention of the Five Passes God and repeatedly uses the power of deities to turn the tables, hinting at using literature to spread teachings. Do you all not understand it, or are you pretending to be confused?”
“Whether I understand or not, I need not debate with you. Senior Wuying is here, do not be presumptuous, do you think the Senior is an affiliate of Evil Gods and the Outer Path?”
“Hmph, Fang Xiaosan, you slander me! I am only discussing the text and have no other implications. Your intentions are malicious. I implore Senior Wuying to see through this.”
Seeing that an argument was about to break out among them, Zhao Sheng raised his hand and a formidable presence bore down, instantly silencing the hall as everyone ceased speaking.
“Fang Xiaosan’s words are not wrong. In writing this ‘Eastern Travel Record,’ I indeed intended to spread the name of the Five Passes God. I need not hide this point,” said Zhao Sheng.
Nobody expected Zhao Sheng to openly admit the purpose of his writing the moment he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu and others immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
In the Da Gu Heavenly Dynasty, the Heavenly Dao Sect alone was revered above all others. Other than the officially consecrated deities who could openly propagate faith and enjoy offerings, all other deities who were not granted a Divine Talisman were branded as cults of Evil Gods and subject to severe repression.
It seemed… the Five Passes God was among the more notorious of the numerous Wild Gods, with many followers in the Mortal World and a deeply rooted foundation, making them a particularly troublesome class of Ghost Gods.
Hearing the implication of Daoist Wuying’s words, it seemed he was a believer in the Five Passes God?!
With this thought in mind, Gu Yu grew even more alarmed and asked tremblingly, “Senior, have you summoned us today to… to convince us to believe in the Five Passes God? But… but…”
“Mr. Gu worries too much. I entertained no such thought,” Zhao Sheng said with a slight smile.
With this statement, everyone breathed a great sigh of relief.
As long as they were not being coerced into converting to an Evil God.
Zhao Sheng’s gaze flashed, noting the expressions of everyone present, and then he continued, “I summoned you today because I see in you a potential that ought not be wasted, reluctant to see you turn to dust after a hundred years. Therefore, I’ve come to propose a few transactions with you.”
Gu Yu’s heart sank upon hearing these words. Wuying’s statement had hit precisely what everyone feared most, stirring up the terror in their hearts.
Without achieving Foundation Establishment, one would inevitably face death in twenty or so years.
It should be noted that all present had practiced the “Blood Soul Scripture” in their pursuit to advance to the Foundation Establishment, thus shortening their lifespans significantly.
Yet, when they first attempted Foundation Establishment, everyone failed without exception.
Gazing around, Gu Yu knew that it would be a stroke of extreme luck if even one of the present company achieved Foundation Establishment.
Thus, Zhao Sheng’s words ignited a fiery eagerness within everyone there.
Nobody was a fool; all suddenly realized something, their eyes burning with intensity.
“Senior Wuying, please tell us. Whatever is within our power, we shall do our utmost. Only if… only if…”
“Hehe! Your thoughts, I’ve long been aware of. Rest assured, your future is bright. However, I currently have a matter and need your assistance.”
“Senior, speak your mind, if it means going through fire and water, I am more than willing,” one clever person immediately puffed out his chest and said.
“I don’t need you to drown me in words or even lift a finger. I merely wish to establish a cause and effect with you all.”
“Cause and effect?!” Gu Yu was filled with doubts upon hearing this.
Zhao Sheng smiled and said, “If you could lend me some Spirit Stones, that would establish the cause and effect. The more Spirit Stones you lend, the greater the cause and effect, and the more Blessings you will receive in the end. I assure you, you will not regret it in the future.”
“May I ask, Senior, with your strength, simply asking around the city, I believe major families would generously donate. Why then do you need to borrow from us?” A young man dressed in Jinyi suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s face darkened, and the pressure in the hall greatly increased, “If you’re not lending, you can leave now. I don’t have time to explain to you.”
“Senior, I meant no offense, I truly didn’t. I have three thousand Spirit Stones at hand, here, to lend… no, to offer to you. Please accept them with a laugh,” the young man in Jinyi pleaded in panic.
“What a joke, do you think I lack your measly Spirit Stones? I said I only want to borrow cause and effect, not to take your Spirit Stones for free. Have you read the Five Virtues Theory for nothing?”
Gu Yu and Zhao Sheng were very familiar with each other. Seeing that the atmosphere had turned sour, he immediately stepped in to smooth things over, loudly saying, “Senior, I was planning to lend all my Spirit Stones to you, a total of four thousand five hundred. If that’s not enough, I’ll find a way to get up to ten thousand when I go back.”
Zhao Sheng said, “Everything should be within one’s capabilities! This applies to Foundation Establishment and also to Spirit Stones! Cause and effect begin with sincerity. I hope you all realize this for yourselves.”
“I have one thousand three hundred Spirit Stones here, all for you, Senior.”
“Senior, could you wait just a moment, I’ll make a quick trip home and be right back.”
At this point, others could no longer remain seated, some were superficial in their support, but of course, there were also those who harbored great expectations of Zhao Sheng.
As for this, Zhao Sheng pretended not to see and simply accepted what came his way.
A moment later, the atmosphere in the hall became strange; everyone looked at each other and emptied their pockets.
Gu Yu, observing expressions, saw that Zhao Sheng was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to ask, “May I ask, Senior, what is your purpose? If you find the Spirit Stones insufficient, allow us to report to the Clan Leaders of our families. With your Golden Core Realm cultivation, our families will surely treat you as a distinguished guest.”
Zhao Sheng lifted his eyelids and said abruptly, “You’ve all misunderstood! I have yet to advance to the Golden Core,”
“What? We… we were mistaken,” Gu Yu exclaimed in shock.
Before his words fell, Zhao Sheng added, “But it’s happening soon. As long as enough Spirit Stones are collected. The Golden Core? Easy.”
Hearing this, Gu Yu had a flash of spirit light and tentatively asked, “Senior, you seem so confident. Could it be… could it be that you have the support of the Five Passes God?”
“Hehe! Finally, someone with a clear head has figured it out. That’s right, all that I have achieved today is thanks to the Five Passes God,” Zhao Sheng purposely revealed the “truth.”
As soon as these words were heard, someone’s eyes suddenly brightened scarily, like two large light bulbs, showing an endless desire.
“The Five Passes God is truly that effective? Impossible!”
“Hehe! Whether it’s possible or not, you will know in the future. I can’t be bothered to explain to you.”
“Hehe! Whether it’s possible or not, you will know in the future. I can’t be bothered to explain to you.”
“Hehe! Whether it’s possible or not, you will know in the future. I can’t be bothered to explain to you.”
My apologies for the full attendance. It will be corrected soon.
