Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 648: What Is Wisdom? Preachy!
Some light began to appear near the horizon as night changed by day. Under the birdsong, Li Nianfang walked out of his room. Xiao Bai offered her the equipment to bathe professionally while greeting her. Li Nianfang thanked him with a smile.
“By the way, didn't Dragin and the others say they wanted to do morning practice with me? Wake them up now,” Li Nianfang's orders.
“Ya, dear sir.”
Soon after, under the leadership of Li Nianfang, they began to practice tai-chi in a four-piece building. Their movements are soft, graceful and pleasing to the eye. Doing so can strengthen their bodies, stabilize their emotions, and sharpen the mind. It was guaranteed to make them feel better after one round of tai-chi.
Daji and the others stood behind Li Nianfang and followed his every move. They felt every movement imbued with the rhythm of Wisdom as if they were holding the entire world in their hands. Each of their movements was so harmonious that they felt like the wind was blowing in the sky with the movement of hands and water flowing to the ground by raising their feet. Their tai-chi exercises are more like dance than exercise.
Exercise has never felt more comfortable than this. In fact, they have never felt more comfortable than they are now. They had no doubt that they would be able to deliver a stronger attack than usual in this section. They are all in tune with the flow of the universe and know that everything they do now will be easier than ever. The eyes of Daji and Fire Phoenix glazed over. They were completely immersed in that drunkenness.
“Does this feel like Wisdom?” Although the concept of Wisdom was intangible, they felt as if it was flowing through their fingertips. However, when they tried to grab onto that feeling, the feeling disappeared like the wind. So close and so far away. They begin to get frustrated but not for long because they are still practicing tai-chi which has the ability to calm the heart.
One would definitely come face to face with many dangers during the path of cultivation. Therefore, one must always be vigilant because there is a fine line between heaven and hell. From the very beginning, there were many talented fighters who fell like meteors. Only a few have ever lived the rest of their natural lives. This is because Wisdom can be found everywhere but it is also easy to get lost in its search.
Back then, Daji and Fire Phoenix almost lost themselves and succumbed to madness. They were almost slaves in search of Wisdom. No wonder there aren't many Elite Wisdom in the world. It was a good thing Li Nianfang was willing to teach them this Holy Fist of Wisdom to further help us understand Wisdom.
As for Dragin and the others, they did not have the same worries as Daji and Fire Phoenix because their cultivation was still shallow. They were still far away from Daji and Fire Phoenix. But even so, they could feel the Wisdom nurturing of those who were deepening their enlightenment as they flowed around them in a harmonious way. They also feel connected to the universe.
They have a sudden impulse in their hearts — impetus to create a new world! This meant that they were much closer to becoming Wisdom Elites. Shi Tuqin and Qin Manyun glanced at each other. Even though they had been with experts for quite some time, there were still times when they would be completely mesmerized by it. Never in a million years would they think that they would be able to grow to such a level of cultivation and in a few months! They were honored to be chosen as apprentices of musicologists and calligraphers and were willing to serve him at any cost so as not to disappoint him.
Li Nianfang finished the last move and smiled. “That's the last step. Let's prepare breakfast now.” He turned around and saw Fire Phoenix and Daji standing motionless at where they were with dumbfounded expressions on their faces. “Little salary, what do you think?”
Daji sighed and replied, “Master, I wonder how can we ascertain the existence of Wisdom if we cannot see it?” He was very troubled and almost gave up. He suddenly felt that Wisdom was very far away from him and did not know if he would be able to catch her.
Li Nianfang was surprised by his philosophical question. He was silent, thinking about how to answer. However, his thinking was interrupted by a knock from outside.
“This is me, Xiao Chengfeng, requesting an audience with Lord Saint.”
Li Nianfang ordered Xiao Bai to open the door. Immediately, Xiao Chengfeng walked over, Yang Jian and Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu was there to deliver firewood while Xiao Chengfeng and Yang Jian were there to deliver some hunted meat. They bowed respectfully to him as soon as he entered. “Greetings Holy Lord.”
“And greetings to all of you too,” said Li Nianfang. “Please sit down and excuse me for a moment. I have to answer Little Daji's question first.”
Xiao Chengfeng and the other two asked him to come forward but they did not sit down. Soon after, they heard Li Nianfang's voice. “You ask how we can prove the existence of Wisdom?” When they heard that, their hearts started pounding heavily on their chests and they felt a numbing sensation on their scalps. They cheered at the right time because they were also eager to listen to the expert's sermon. They were sure they would benefit a lot from it as well. Immediately, they focused all their attention on Li Nianfang with their ears sharpened.
Li Nianfang picked up a leaf, raised it high above his head, and let go. “Little salary, catch these leaves.”
Daji opened his hand and the leaf floated in his palm.
“Small salary, can you predict the future?”
He shook his head.
“Then how do you know where to put your hand so that the leaf will land on your palm?”
Everyone present went into shock. Their pupils shrank rapidly and they instantly goosebumps. It was a very simple matter, easily overlooked by anyone in their daily life. It was so insignificant that no one would spend their time thinking about it, however, it became an overwhelming problem when pointed out by Li Nianfang.
It was true, none of them had the ability to predict the future, yet how did they know where the leaf would fall at the next moment? Both Daji and Fire Phoenix were filled with the sound of crashing waves, as if they were about to grasp something big.
“Daun that fell was like Dao and its trajectory was Dao road. Everything under the universe has its own path. The ability to predict the future based on current events is called Wisdom, ” explains Li Nianfang slowly. Then, he took the leaf again and said, “Little salary, try to catch the leaf again.”
Daji turned his palm up again. Li Nianfang then gently blew on the leaf as it fell to change its course. This time, the leaf did not land on Daji's palm, but touched it before it fell to the ground.
“Wisdom may be intangible but the way is real. We can even try to change its direction to get the results we want,” Li Nianfang said. The shock passed through everyone present as if they were struck by lightning.
“I understand what Wisdom is now! It's been with us all this time! ”
“The expert managed to explain what Wisdom is in the simplest way! Only a genius of a genius can do that.”
The mood of Daji and Fire Phoenix changed for the better. Previously, they felt very vulnerable when they could not understand the concept of Wisdom. However, this did not seem to be a problem anymore as they had broken through their bottleneck. Their auras turned wild and their Qi trembled through the Chaos. They were already halfway to becoming Wisdom Elites.
The other auras changed as well as where they scattered like roaring tidal waves. Dragin, Nanan, Shi Tuqin, Qin Manyun, Xiao Chengfeng, Jiang Liu and Yang Jian all entered the Heavenly Realm. If word got out that something of this magnitude happened in a four-part building in such a short span of time, it would definitely shock the entire universe and become the talk of the city over the coming days.
If Xiao Chengfeng and the other two were the ones who told the story, it would definitely end up with— “And just like that we became warriors of the Heavenly Realm. You may not believe me, but that is exactly what happens when pure luck I can listen to the expert's sermon.”
How could one believe it when so many cultivators were stuck at the level before the Heavenly Realm? After the shock, came the excitement. Although Xiao Chengfeng tried to restrain herself, she could not hide the wide grin on her face. Both he and Yang Jian had to work hard for this opportunity to give the hunted meat to his experts and it seemed like their hard work paid off.
After all, with all the recent events, they realized their strength was insufficient, which was a huge blow to the selfish Xiao Chengfeng. ‘I did it! I'm barging! My hard work. I am sure now that I have entered the Heavenly Realm, only a handful of people in the entire Chaos can fend off my attacks.’
“Contention sharing your happiness?” Li Nianfang asked Xiao Chengfeng.
Xiao Chengfeng stopped grinning and replied in a shy tone, “I benefited a lot from your sermon just now and could not help but be very happy ..”
“Lord Saint, we are here to send some game meat to you,” said Yang Jian.
“There again?” Li Nianfang said in surprise.
Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng brought the Dragon inside and said, “Please see.”
“Wow, lots of Dragons. I never knew there were so many different types, ” said the surprised Li Nianfang.
Apart from the silver dragon from last time, there were dragons with horse bodies, dragons with double wings, dragons with two heads. He wondered if it would taste different — would the Dragon Horse feel like Dragon meat or horse meat? He drooled and could not wait to dig up their flesh.
“Where did you two get so many Dragons?” She asked. Just a few days ago the first batch of Dragon meat arrived which he turned into preserved meat. He had never expected another batch to arrive so quickly.
“To be honest, last night all the Dragons in Chaos joined forces to take revenge for the previous batch of Dragons. It was a good thing all the sects in the Area of the Gods were united and fighting them. ”
“And you said this happened last night?” Li Nianfang asked with wide eyes. “How scary.” The Dragons must have been here for Dragin and since he was the one who made their fallen comrades into preserved meat, they must have been there for him as well. It was a good thing he had a good relationship with everyone in order for them to be willing to protect him.
“Do you think they will return for revenge again?” Li Nianfang asked in a concerned tone.
“There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Saint. The dragon has been completely subdued, ” replied Yang Jian.
Li Nianfang sighed in relief, “Thank you for all of your hard work. Let's cook then! We will make this into preserved meat and spread it to the sect like before. Especially the sects that help fight the Dragons. We need to show our gratitude to them.”
Last night's events just proved the importance of having friends. Li Nianfang was sure he wouldn't have slept well if it wasn't for them. He decided then and there to spend more effort in building the relationship so that he could rely on their help in the future.
Yang Jian nodded. “Ya, Holy Lord.”
Li Nianfang asked them to stay for breakfast before leaving. As soon as Yang Jiang and Xiao Chengfeng left the four-piece building, they could not help but smile again. They quickly left the Fallen Immortal Mountain and flew straight back to the Heavenly Palace. Their powerful aura and majestic mana created an apparition in the sky, attracting the attention of everyone in the Heavenly Palace.
“Nothing! Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng had broken through to the Heavenly Realm! ” shouted Juling Shen. His jaw almost touched the floor.
The Celestial Emperor flew quickly towards him and said with his eyes wide open, “How did the two of you do it? Did you receive some kind of guidance from the experts?” His voice trembled with regret and envy.
“Your Majesty, should you ask? Isn't it obvious?” Xiao Chengfeng said proudly. “The clerk was preaching to Dewi Daji when we arrived and we were lucky to be able to listen to him as well. And just like that we became warriors of the Heavenly Realm. ”
“Yes that's right. We didn't feel anything, yet we actually broke through!” Yang Jian echoed with a nod of his head. “Actually, I am a bit envious of you all because we will never experience pain through congestion.”
The faces of the Celestial Emperor and the other people shriveled as if he had just eaten a lemon.
“Please no more. I'll start crying if you continue. ”
“Hey, have a heart, right?”
“I should have left too! I can't believe I missed this opportunity. I am so stupid!”
