HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 88: The Great Dao Spell
The Jade Pure Dao Sect was full of noise and excitement.
Over ten thousand people gathered in the square in front of the Clear Jade Hall. Colorful lights shone in the sky in a favorable atmosphere. That's a big opportunity.
The time of fortune had arrived, and the bell rang solemnly.
Everyone fell silent as they stared at the platform, waiting for the rapture ceremony to begin.
“The appointment ceremony of honorary elders of the Jade Pure Dao Sect has officially begun!” A melody sounded along with the announcement echoing.
A rainbow bridge formed by magic artifacts flew out from the main hall and crossed over to the tall platform.
Sect master Yu Hua, Li Yu, and the Elders of the Jade Pure Dao Sect stepped through the rainbow bridge and onto the platform.
The inauguration ceremony begins. Master Yu Hua, Li Yu, and the others offered incense and worshipped heaven and earth.
After a series of feisty statements, Li Yu was officially announced as the honorary elder of the Pure Dao Jade Sect and was rewarded in the form of an honorary elder token.
Then, the thousands of Jade Pure Dao Sect disciples bowed and said in unison, "Greetings, elder Li!"
Li Yu had a serious expression while cupping her hands. That simple act is polite.
After bowing, sect master Yu Hua continued, “Furthermore, I will invite Elder Li to speak and enlighten our cultivators!”
Whahuh?
Li Yu looked at Sect Master Yu Hua in surprise. He wasn't told about such a thing at first.
Are you sure this appointment ceremony didn't dig a hole for me?
Sect master Yu Hua could see the hesitation in Li Yu's eyes and could not help but look at Elder Hu.
Judging from his expression, it was clear that Elder Hu had forgotten to tell Li Yu earlier.
However, in his opinion, Li Yu definitely had a unique understanding of cultivation and incredible knowledge. After all, Li Yu had such cultivation and strength at such a young age, and he had even cultivated the human body into a supreme physique.
Therefore, sect master Yu Hua believed that even if Li Yu did not prepare beforehand, he should be able to share his insights with everyone.
“Older Li, have your current cultivation level at such a young age. It is amazing in this world and unrivalled. You must have incredible insight in cultivation. Why don't you share it with us!" Sect master Yu Hua tried to persuade Li Yu.
After all, he couldn't mess up the rapture ceremony.
'When they invited the various sects and large factions, they emphasized that they would invite Li Yu to share his cultivation insights on the spot.
Therefore, it was the main event that everyone was waiting for.
Li Yu confirmed through the eyes of sect master Yu Hua. If he did not continue, he would probably embarrass himself today.
"Uhuk. I lack knowledge and talent, and I owe it to sect master Yu Hua for his praise. Since this is a Dao discussion, why don't we discuss it together today!” An idea flashed through Li Yu's mind as she thought of a way out.
He turned his personal speech into a discussion among everyone.
This way, he did not need to talk much and could let everyone talk and discuss. It might even result in quality interaction.
He just needs to wait for the right moment to give the finishing touch and smooth out the theme.
I'm just a smart bad boy!
“Ingin asked fellow cultivators present. Why are you cultivating?”
Everyone below instantly thought hard after hearing Li Yu's question.
Yes, why am I cultivating?
This seems like a simple question with a simple answer.
However, it also seems difficult to answer.
If they answered him too simply, it would sound uncultured.
If their answer was too conspicuous, it would sound fake.
This is a serious question.
It is like someone asking for the purpose of life.
It can always make one reflect on the meaning of life.
Sect master Yu Hua and the elders were unwilling to ponder. If one were to ask them why they were cultivating, they might be able to directly declare that it was for the commoners of the world and to uphold justice.
It was like a slogan preached by every orthodox sect.
However, if one were to ask themselves, how many people actually considered commoners as their responsibility?
“Everyone can express your thoughts freely. No need to be ashamed! As long as it is your true mind, it should be respected. Nothing to be ashamed of!” Li Yu added as she looked at everyone thinking hard.
"We are cultivating for immortality!" Someone was the first to speak.
Many people agree.
Indeed, many people were cultivating for the sake of immortality.
Aging, disease, and death are the norm for humans. The path of cultivation is heaven-defying and changes one's fate.
"It's different. We must cultivate for the sake of the world, for the sake of exterminating demons and devils, for the sake of upholding justice!”
“No need to repeat such a thing. This is only our duty of cultivators, not the core goal of our cultivation!”
"That's right. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I think I did it for my freedom and it wasn't curbed by the world. I did so to repay any gratitude and avenge any hostility with a sword in my hand at will!
“The encouragement of a man to cultivate naturally is the goal to become famous and leave his name in history!”
“I did this in order to achieve greater strength. So that I can ascend to the Nine Heavens Eternal Realm one day and see for myself!
"The only desire to become a sect elder someday and become someone like my master!"
“I used to do it for my parents and family. Now that my parents are gone, I am cultivating to get my Master's approval!”
“Mm, I think everyone has their own aspirations. But after all, we must cultivate according to the heart. All we have to do is hold fast to our hearts!”
"Indeed. Everyone has their own path. Some do it for immortality, some for freedom, and some for fame and status! There was no accurate answer to the cultivation path. Everyone has their own path!
Li Yu's question sparked a journey of self-reflection for everyone.
Everyone expressed their views at once, and the place came to life.
Even sect master Yu Hua and the elders discussed excitedly.
Still, they were clearly more interested in hearing why Li Yu was asking this question and whether she had a transcendent view.
After quite some time, someone suddenly asked, “May I know why Elder Li is cultivating?”
"Yes. Why do you think we cultivators are cultivating, Elder Li? Everyone looked at Li Yu and anticipated her answer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was ready, Li Yu felt the need to refine the topic.
“As you all say, there is indeed not a single accurate answer on the path of cultivation. It's like how everything in the world has its own way. Why do a thousand people have a thousand answers? Some do it for immortality, some for justice, some for status, some for wealth, and some for freedom!"
“And in my opinion, I believe that we cultivators must cultivate for heaven and earth, for people, for the saints of the past to continue learning, he said, for all ages to keep the peace of the world!"
With that said, heaven and earth seemed to tremble.
These four words are simple.
It carries a distinctive will and great ambition.
It touched everyone's heart.
It even resonated with the Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, the golden light of the Heavenly Dao Rank expanded as the golden character condensed.
For heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints of the past to continue learning, for all ages to keep the peace of the world!
Countless multicolored lights shot out to envelop Li Yu. A river of Dao fate surrounded him, and an immortal radiance deciphered his mighty figure.
Right now, Li Yu was like a saint holding a forum to discuss the Dao and educate everyone.
“For heaven and earth, for people, for saints in the past to continue learning, for all ages to keep the peace of the world! Great Dao Spell! This is the spell of the Great Dao!” Sect master Yu Hua recovered from his shock, and his old face trembled with excitement.
As the saying goes, if a person gains knowledge of the right way of life in the morning, he can die at sunset without regret!
Sect master Yu Hua felt he could carry on without regret after hearing the unprecedented and great saying in his life.
Li Yu's voice still resounded throughout the world, but it wasn't an echo.
It was the Heavenly Dao Rank that repeated Li Yu's words repeatedly.
At the same time, all the Heavenly Dao Rankings in the various countries of the Huaxia continent and the Great Region of Zenith flourished with golden light.
Li Yu's voice echoed throughout the world.
“We cultivators have to cultivate for heaven and earth, for people, for saints in the past to keep learning, for all ages to keep the peace of the world!”
