Chapter 1307: Chapter 504: Training the Holy Sect! Chen Mo’s Brainwashing Technique!
Recently, Fuyun Mountain has been quite noisy.
First, the arrival of a man broke the usual tranquility, his identity was very complex. He was not only the sole male Tributor of Tianshu Pavilion, a heir to the ancestral Dao, but also the rumored boyfriend of the Chief Disciple!
Daoist Venerable surprisingly supported this and decided to host a marriage ceremony for the two in three days!
Once this news was announced, it caused a huge uproar within the Sect!
It’s well known that Daoist Venerable is famously man-hating. Originally, there were very few men in the Sect, and since she took office, no male disciples have been recruited. She even ordered the prohibition of romantic affairs between men and women, turning Tianshu Pavilion into a female cultivators’ sect.
Although later the Sect’s main guidelines were changed from "a heart like still water, avoiding emotions and desires" to "all laws lead to the true self," seemingly lifting restrictions, no one dared cross the line...
They say it’s easy to talk about, but who knows if this isn’t just a trap for enforcing?
Moreover, decades of cultivation on the Forget Love Path have long made them forget what they truly want inside...
Unexpectedly, Daoist Venerable is serious this time?
...
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the area around Xuanqing Platform was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, heads bobbing, almost all Inner Sect Disciples gathered here.
Xuanqing Platform is at the summit of the main peak, a three-tiered cloud platform built with dark jade, right behind it is the ancestral shrine, which only opens on important ritual days. Both the dissemination of Dao and the marriage ceremony are held here, showing the importance Daoist Venerable places on this event.
"Is that Chen Mo truly the heir to the ancestral Dao?"
"Nonsense, didn’t you hear the Asking Bell ring that day? The Venerable said it personally, how can it be false?"
"I’ve heard this Chen Mo even ventured into the forbidden land and rescued the Venerable, he’s a great benefactor of our Tianshu Pavilion..."
"Hiss, there’s something like this too?"
"That’s the Daoist Ancestor’s legacy. The Venerable can understand the Mystical Gate even at her Realm, and also helped Qingxuan the Chief breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm. If we can get some pointers from him, we’d definitely benefit greatly!"
While everyone was discussing, from afar, dozens of figures flew through the sky, they were the elders of Tianshu Pavilion.
Soon, Elder Xuan Ying, dressed in a water-blue Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk, also landed.
"Oh, isn’t that Elder Ying Xuan?" Zhu Huai glanced at her and sneered, "I thought you’d be too embarrassed to show up, seems like the allure of the ancestral legacy isn’t ordinary."
"..."
Elder Xuan Ying bit her silver teeth, her face looking somewhat unpleasant.
Ever since Ling Ningzhi broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm, she’d become a laughing stock in everyone’s mouths.
Especially Zhu Huai, he would tell everyone she was the first reverse prophet of Tianshu Pavilion, and say she’s the most cunning person, outwardly wanting to remove the Chief, but actually just wanting to change her name because she disliked her Dao title...
She was so angry that she couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t eat, holding a bellyful of rage.
Originally, she didn’t plan to show up today, but the knot in her heart hadn’t been resolved, after much hesitation she still came.
She had always strictly followed the Sect’s guidelines, believing cultivators should be pure-hearted and desireless, upholding righteousness and integrity, only then could they go further.
But reality gave her a hard slap, Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo together, their cultivation advanced at lightning speed, becoming the youngest Heavenly Human Realm cultivator in the Sect, making her doubt herself——
Could it be that the Forget Love Path she’d adhered to all her life was actually wrong?
She attended today to listen to Chen Mo’s lecture, hoping to find answers to her confusion.
Dong——
At that moment, a melodious bell sounded, and the scene suddenly quieted down.
All eyes turned to Xuanqing Platform as a figure slowly ascended the stone steps.
A dark robe with gold secret patterns tailored perfectly, accentuating his tall and upright figure, a jade belt at the waist, cloud boots on his feet, his gestures exuding a noble and reserved aura.
He ascended the high platform, slowly turned, his face white as porcelain, deep-set brows like ink, tall nose and thin lips, sharp features, handsome yet low-key, his eyes brushed with a sharpness that captivated the heart.
"So... so handsome..."
"No wonder he can be the Chief’s Dao companion..."
A group of female cultivators gazed at him, unable to help but become a little infatuated.
They knew Chen Mo was good-looking, but didn’t expect him to be this good-looking!
In terms of appearance alone, even being with the first-ranked Fairy Qingxuan on the Rouge List, he didn’t appear lacking!
Chen Mo coughed lightly, his lips slightly parted, his words clearly reaching everyone’s ears:
"My name is Chen Mo, you should all know me."
"Some of you might be confused, as a court lackey, why I’ve inexplicably become a Sect Tributor, and inexplicably got the ancestral legacy, it’s truly hard to comprehend..."
"Actually, I’m the same. Who knows which nerve of the Daoist Ancestor went wrong, insisting on giving the legacy to me."
"But beggars can’t be choosers, since I’ve received the Daoist Ancestor’s benefits, I should be generous to the disciples, otherwise I’m afraid he’d resurrect from the grave to trouble me."
"Pfft..."
An subdued low laughter spread through the scene.
As disciples of Tianshu Pavilion, they naturally wouldn’t dare joke about the Daoist Ancestor, but Chen Mo had no such concerns, his humorous words lightened the initially tense atmosphere considerably.
"Back to the topic, I’ve been thinking for days, if presiding over the Dao, what should I talk about, respect the ancestors, understand the Dao, transmit the teachings, establish the heart, advise action..." Chen Mo paused his speech, shook his head and said: "Tianshu Pavilion is a Daoist Sect Holy Sect, you’re all familiar with these things, there’s no need for me to elaborate."
