Disbelief flickered in the white-haired man’s eyes, shock and fear gripped him as his day of hunting geese turned to him being pecked by the geese, his head spinning and blood pouring from his abdomen.
Seeing this scene,
The surrounding gang members ran away in a swarm.
Big brother, this isn’t a dagger, it’s a machete! Who could stab someone directly with a machete? This guy… isn’t human.
Did he just kill someone?
“Did I…kill him?”
Zhao Xuan finally reacted, staring blankly at the blood-spewing white-haired man before him. The knife in his hand unconsciously fell to the ground.
Clank-
Thud!
Along with the knife, the white-haired man fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with nothing but fear and deep regret.
Zhao Xuan slumped to the ground, unable to collect himself for a long time.
It was at this moment that the mana within his body circulated throughout his body from his Dantian, like a gentle stream.
Under the immense fear, he instinctively started using the Shenxiao
Visualization Method.
In an instant,
The image of a Divine Lord appeared in his mind, a loving and compassionate Holy Spirit, like a giant protective umbrella shielding him beneath its cover. A strong sense of security enveloped his entire body.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, may the Divine Lord protect me!”
After muttering these words softly, Zhao Xuan inexplicably sobered up.
He looked around in a daze, realizing he was in a deserted alley. Though no one was around, the bustling main road lay just outside the alley.
“No…I’m not even sixteen yet. Besides, this should be self-defense. I should call the police first-then call Dad.”
“Huff-” Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, pressed the speed dial button, and recounted everything that had happened in detail.
At Qingping Mountain,
Xuanqing, with his God Soul spread out, could clearly see everything happening near Jiang City’s Third Middle School, starting from the white-haired man’s approach to Zhao Xuan’s counterattack.
“Elder Jingde mentioned earlier that the higher-ups decided to include the Visualization Method in compulsory education, but I didn’t expect it to show results so quickly,” Xuanqing said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After pondering,
He sent a message to Elder lingde, Yang Ying, and others using his God Soul, asking them to come to Qingping Mountain.
Moments later,
Elders Jingde, Yang Ying, Qianqing, and Cang Qingyu arrived at Qingping Mountain.
“We greet Palace Lord!”
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
Among his subordinates, the child Huai Qingyun was not present, but he knew the reason.
When his God Soul had scanned the entire continent, he hadn’t found Qingyun’s figure, so Qingyun must have either gone to Europe or not be in this world.
Moreover, the last time Xuanqing had conferred Yama authority to Huai Qingyun, along with the empty Hell, Huai Qingyun, the child, must be busy in
Hell most of the time.
“Elder Jingde, tell me about the current situation of the Daoist sect,” Xuanqing asked indifferently.
“Yes, Palace Lord!”
Elder Jingde bowed slightly, cleared his throat, and said, “Reporting to Palace Lord, there are currently more than 28,800 Daoist temples belonging to the
Daoist sect.”
“Mainly distributed in Great Yan Kingdom, Luo Que Country, Kimchi Country, Xiaorizi Country…. And other areas of East Asia Continent.”
“In Great Yan Kingdom, we’ve achieved-complete coverage within the jurisdiction, and the remaining countries have also achieved full coverage in first-tier cities and are moving towards a goal of covering second-tier and third-tier cities…and even county-level targets.”
After discussing the overall changes, Elder Jingde began to talk about the details.
“At present, the number of cultivators in the Great Yan Kingdom has exceeded 9 million, of which 60% are people aged 65 and above, 35% are students, and the remaining 5°/° are ordinary adults.’
“However… due to the cancellation of English education and the addition of the Shenxiao Visualization Method course, the number of cultivators among student groups is gradually increasing, and it is expected to…”
As Elder Jingde recounted,
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
The results were similar to what he had detected with his God Soul, but the data was more detailed.
“Elder Qianqing, how is the development of the Daoist Academy you are responsible for?”
“Submit to the Palace Lord, according to your instructions, the Daoist Headquarter has reached a partnership with universities in various places, ? offering Taoist elective courses, and selecting excellent talents from them.” Qianqing bowed slightly and began to report on his area of responsibility. “The current number of people in the Daoist Headquarter has increased to more than 16,000, and this year’s graduates number… 4,000.”
Four thousand?
Hearing this number,
Xuanqing frowned slightly.
According to the current situation, the biggest factor affecting the expansion of Daoist temples is the severe shortage of Taoist priests.
No matter what, each Daoist temple must at least have one Taoist priest, right? But if the requirements for becoming a Taoist priest were lowered, or if just anyone was chosen to be a priest, it would go against what Xuanqing was willing to see, and it would cross his bottom line.
More importantly, Xuanqing did not have any urgent need to improve his cultivation at the moment.
He wasn’t the kind of protagonist in a cultivation novel who would constantly be “slapped in the face”, always have “enemies” everywhere, or even be reborn and bound to the “dark currents” of society.
Although he also wanted to quickly glimpse into the Great Dao and enjoy breaking through cultivation to transform his life, he could only do so when he adhered to his moral bottom line and had a clear conscience.
In that case,
If he wanted to improve efficiency, he could only continue to expand the Daoist Academy… That was the only path he could take.
