Chapter 442: Chapter 264: Cultivation and Blessings
The "Pure Scripture" is a mystical artifact. Though it lacks flesh and blood, it possesses emotions and thoughts.
It has witnessed countless individuals within the sect, some seeking enlightenment, authority, immortality, or grandeur... all sorts, endless in number.
Among them are outstanding seeds of true transmission with unparalleled talents; noble scions of illustrious families; and even prodigious Daoists from across the ages.
But never has anyone declared to transform the "demonic" into "holy," to allow the Four Reversals Sect to become renowned throughout the Divine Land, astonishing ancient and modern times, deserving the word "greatness."
At this moment, Bai Qi, in the eyes of the "Pure Scripture," seemed to be gilded in a layer of bright gold foil, like a divine statue in a temple, emitting dazzling light, making it somewhat difficult to gaze upon.
"Young brother, you truly consider the future of the Four Reversals Sect and think deeply about its prospects!"
Bai Qi waved his hand, looking modest:
"Uncle Scripture praised too highly, I actually feel quite ashamed. Previously, because of preconceived notions, I also regarded our Four Reversals Sect as a demon’s lair.
Only today, upon learning of the Supreme Divine Spirit and the founder ancestors’ fundamental purpose and beautiful vision, did I understand the narrow-mindedness of worldly views."
He gently tapped his fingers, signaling Nanming Li Fire to restrain its edge, no longer illuminating his surroundings.
The intellect of this worn-out scripture is hardly smarter than Divine Soldiers, or perhaps, it is like a newborn child, with incomplete development, hence needing postnatal supplement from Dao traces and principles.
"Kindred spirit! Young brother, you are truly my confidant! If Pimo King wished to reveal holiness and meet you himself, he would surely be overjoyed..."
The "Pure Scripture" wished to celebrate with Bai Qi over drinks.
As the Pimo King’s classic work, whenever it appeared, the faithful followers felt reverence, or even fear, but never had it been recognized or praised in such a manner.
"Brother Jing Shu, I am willing to be the one to first tread upon divine techniques, then lead the rest of the sect to cultivate, ultimately distributing my powers among them as the leader! Please grant me this chance!"
Bai Qi stood straight, his voice full of righteous vigor and grandeur.
"Young brother, the Four Reversals Sect welcomes extraordinary youths like you!"
The "Pure Scripture" gladly agreed; were it not for pressing matters, it would have immediately arranged to bring Bai Qi to the sect’s Celestial Water Prefecture branch.
Unfortunately, the reception pier in Yihai Prefecture recently suffered a calamity, mysteriously severed contact, with all hidden followers perishing.
The Prefecture City branch dispatched Zhou Fuchen to investigate, but unexpectedly, he harbored ill intentions and turned out to be a plant from the White Sun Sect.
This incident stirred a great disturbance, angering the Supreme Divine Spirit, who ordered thorough self-examination, implicating many.
"To contribute to the grand achievement of making everyone within the Holy Sect mighty, I would sacrifice anything... Brother Jing Shu, what if I endure another thirty years of arduous cultivation? I feel I can withstand it!"
Bai Qi rubbed his hands, empowered by the Yellow Springs Dao Seed’s effect, refining thoughts gained pure prowess seemingly grasped and transformed effortlessly.
"This..."
The "Pure Scripture" hesitated; Mao Yichang was still of great use, further extracting fifty years of cultivation could harm his Divine Soul, destabilizing his realm, ruining Pimo King’s plans.
"Brother Jing Shu, every deed has a price, their small sacrifice today is for their soaring future."
Bai Qi continued fueling the fire, urging the stone scripture, having just broken through the Third Realm, seeking enhancement to stabilize his Divine Soul, previously intending to utilize the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest’s treasures, now seemingly saved.
"As the saying goes, a snake can’t move without a head, a bird can’t fly without wings, the Supreme Divine Spirit concealed in Turbid Tide, we act as claws and must keep our wings full to protect everyone, allowing their sincere conversion.
A mere few decades of cultivation invested in a prodigious talent like me won’t leave Brother Jing Shu disappointed."
The "Pure Scripture," whenever hearing Bai Qi speak, felt like drinking mellow wine, producing a tipsy feeling.
"Young brother, let me think..."
It dared not meet Bai Qi’s sincere gaze again, fearing to be swayed, truly selling Mao Yichang out.
"A born Saint Child! The Four Reversals Sect with this person will flourish for a century!"

"Chen Xing, is your disciple... really a fisherman from Black Water River?"
Secretly watching, Chen Yin couldn’t help but ask.
"This founding and preaching ability is quite impressive!"
The White Sun Sect Leader contemplated the phrase "All dharmas are equal, none above another," finding it more flavorful the more he thought about it.
The later statement of everyone like dragons was equally grand, almost like Saint Buddha.
Totally unlike something a mere fishing peasant could express.
"Old Chen told you long ago, do you understand Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment? Ah Qi embodies a near Dao body, comprehending various truths almost naturally, learning without a mentor."
Chen Xing appeared impatient, brushing it off vaguely.
"Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment... could it be real?"
Chen Yin shed most doubts, becoming convinced.
But soon his Divine Soul stirred, as if realizing something, growing startled and angry:
"A promising candidate for Sect Leader, how could you hand him over to the Four Reversals Demon Sect! Chen Xing, I will petition for impeachment, urging the elders to decry you!"
Chen Xing was puzzled, failing to grasp Chen Yin’s tantrum:
"Decry me, then who will lead Chi Yang?"
Chen Yin raised his voice in reply:
"None other than Qi Lang! The Sect Leader realized, Daoist way too constrained for Qi Lang, better you abdicate and let your disciple inherit prematurely!"
Chen Xing’s face turned dark, clenching his fists, striking his forehead, causing ringing in his ears, as if his head were swirling.
"You old..."
As his Spirit Platform swayed, Chen Yin fainted on the spot, like a child overwhelmed by exhaustion, falling asleep instantly.
"Why don’t you give up the White Sun Sect Leader position?"
Chen Xing scoffed and continued to focus on his disciple, seeing how he could beguile the "Pure Scripture" under Pimo King.

"Young brother, your proposal of ’Spiritual Loan’ is quite intriguing; can you elaborate further?"
The "Pure Scripture" completely fawned upon Bai Qi, curled like a sunning feline, eagerly watching its master.
"Within Four Reversals Sect, everyone practices the inheritance of the Supreme Divine Spirit, worshipping internally, shaping and condensing a Divine Shrine. In other words, the four Supreme Divine Spirits can freely extract followers’ cultivation, whether Qi Blood or Soul.
It seems to me that our Holy Sect’s blessing system is too simplistic, ultimately amounting to just four words, ’reward based on merits’.
This lacks clarity and struggles to motivate sect Squad Leaders, Hall Masters, Incense Masters.
Therefore, I thought, why not promote a ’Spiritual Loan’ through you, Brothers Jing Shu."
Bai Qi narrated gently, imitating those unconventional experts from his past life.
"For instance, if a Martial Artist wishes to achieve perfection in Golden Flesh and Jade Veins but lacks accumulation for better Qi Blood refining.
At this moment, he can convert to our Holy Sect and apply for a ’Spiritual Loan’ based on his assets, talent, status.
Through a blessing, the Supreme Divine Spirit injects that Qi Blood into his body.
This is called ’loaning,’ and upon his successful advancement to a second martial realm, he would repay gradually with Qi Blood gained from diligent practice.
In this way, how could the Holy Sect not thrive!"
The "Pure Scripture" felt extremely excited, why hadn’t anyone within the sect thought of this ingenious plan?
"Young brother, does this Spiritual Loan... have a name?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly, nodding gently:
"It is called ’Divine Blessing,’ I only wish for the day when everyone in the Red County Divine Land is like a dragon, Divine Blessings spread across the land."
