Chapter 766 - 230: The Direction of the Dao

Chen Yan sighed.

Being among middle-aged Outer Disciples wasn’t too much of a disgrace.

However, enlightenment isn’t something gained through hard practice. If enlightenment isn’t sufficient, attending more of his lectures might not boost it significantly.

Yet, when the man opened his eyes, he didn’t see Chen Yan.

So, Chen Yan, the "waste who opened his eyes after the first three attempts," wasn’t discovered by others in the courtyard.

Returning to the courtyard, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms, likely to seize the time for meditation and Primordial Qi circulation.

It seems tonight’s invisible test of enlightenment added a sense of urgency to everyone’s hearts.

The second morning, Chen Yan got up and cast a cleaning Spell on himself, then went out and saw that many disciples had already prepared.

Chen Yan followed the group for the morning class again.

The morning class was much simpler, it was merely meditation for Primordial Qi circulation.

However, here they started to "classify" already.

More than half the disciples went to practice Primordial Qi circulation, while others went to the training room to practice Body Technique.

Hmm, perhaps this could be considered the Domain Realm version of classifying into literature and science majors?

Chen Yan pondered secretly.

However, it was the afternoon class that interested him the most.

It was actually a lecture on doctrine.

The so-called lecture, these preparatory disciples of the Outer Academy wouldn’t be given the chance to learn the sect’s Cultivation Techniques.

The lecture merely talked about the cultivation ideology of the Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, and their approach and understanding of the Heavenly Dao — explanations on theoretical and conceptual levels.

This lecture’s scale was larger!

It was held in a large hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Above the hall, on a seven-foot-high platform, sat a cultivator in a yellow robe trimmed with gold and black edges, on a mat laid with apricot-colored silk.

What surprised Chen Yan slightly was that this person’s apricot yellow robe had the same design and color as the Inner Sect Senior Brother Jiang Mo!

This meant the lecturer was an Inner Sect Disciple!

This person had a refined appearance and dignified demeanor, almost bearing the air of an ancient handsome gentleman.

The voice was magnetically pleasant when he spoke.

"Today is my first and only time teaching you all. If it weren’t for the Outer Sect Steward’s pleading, I wouldn’t bother to come out from the Inner Sect."

"I value freedom and don’t like to abide by rules in teaching.

Now, I give you a chance to ask me one question — but I’ll only select one question to answer. If the question is valuable and pleases me, I’ll grant you an opportunity."

With that, he scanned the hall with a smile in his eyes: "Who wants to ask?"

After a brief silence, the hall erupted into a buzz again.

Quickly, someone stood up: "May I ask, Senior Brother, what is the Heavenly Dao?"

This person answered casually: "Since you’re cultivating, yet you don’t even understand the Heavenly Dao, what a foolish question to ask!"

The person who asked turned pale.

Another asked, "Senior Brother, cultivation of the Primordial Spirit begins at the Second Realm, but since both Primordial Qi and Primordial Spirit cultivation take time, how can one balance them?"

"The talented can naturally balance both, only fools think they can’t balance the two. Step down!" This person harshly reprimanded, and the questioner looked embarrassed as he slowly sat down.

"May I ask, Senior Brother..."

"May I ask, Senior Brother..."

"May I ask, Senior Brother..."

The crowd kept asking questions about cultivation methods, how to improve talents, issues about the Primordial Spirit, and how to resist Heart Demons during Realm Breakthroughs...

But this Inner Sect Disciple answered casually, in a sharp and mocking tone, calling them "fools," "idiots," and "useless wood," leaving the disciples feeling ashamed.

Gradually, no one dared to speak out.

This Inner Sect Disciple’s expression turned somewhat impatient, saying faintly: "Is this term filled with nothing but fools who can’t ask anything valuable? It seems your minds are hopelessly dull..."

Finally, a voice slowly arose: "I have a question for you, Senior Brother..."

Chen Yan slowly stood up from the back row, loudly saying, "Our sect stands as the leader of the righteous path in the Domain Realm, yet why is it named [Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect]?"

This question made the Inner Sect Disciple’s eyes light up.

He looked at Chen Yan for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Not bad, finally someone who isn’t so foolish, managed to ask a somewhat relevant question."

He gave Chen Yan a deep look: "Sit down, I’ve remembered you."

Then, he inhaled deeply: "Our sect’s name, [Celestial Demon, Yin Yang, Joyful], these three terms were personally set by the founding ancestor Saint!"

"These six words also embody the cultivation and path goals of our sect!"
