252: The Sermon Ended, Current Situation of the Disciples

Cultivation knows no years; in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Everyone in the tower, regardless of age or cultivation level, had received guidance from Gu Liangyuan.

Their loyalty values had all reached above fifty.

Fifty might not seem high, but the loyalty value of an ordinary Elder to their Sect was only thirty or forty.

The Dao Alliance was just an Alliance, and for the loyalty of its members to reach such a level, they were practically hanging on Gu Liangyuan's every word.

At this moment, Sun Pu's Revered Master's old face was beaming like a chrysanthemum.

When Sun Pu had dragged him into the Dao Alliance, he had been worried.

Later, Ji Xuan even came to propose a wager, which made his heart sink directly to the bottom.

Although their Six Harmonies Sect was not too strong, they could still protect themselves.

Now, joining the Dao Alliance meant they would passively have to confront Ancient Mo.

Because of this, after returning to the Six Harmonies Sect, he had scolded Sun Pu quite a bit.

However, through Gu Liangyuan's guidance, his cultivation directly broke through two minor Realms.

This made his previous dissatisfaction completely vanish.

Sun Pu looked at his Master's expression, guessed what his Master was thinking, and let out a soft snort.

It seemed to be saying, 'How about it? Your Disciple wouldn't harm you, would he?'

Sun Pu's Master seemed not to have noticed his Disciple's thoughts, merely stroking his beard slightly, smiling without speaking.

After the last person received guidance, Gu Liangyuan slowly rose from the Hunqing Lotus Platform.

Seeing this, everyone also rose and bowed to Gu Liangyuan in a disciple-initiation ceremony.

“From now on, I will lecture on the Dao once every three years.”

Everyone who had witnessed Gu Liangyuan's miraculous methods showed expressions of pleasant surprise upon hearing this.

Yet, no one spoke, quietly awaiting Gu Liangyuan's next words.

Gu Liangyuan continued:

“The Fu Long Court is about to begin. This time, the Fu Long Court is different from the past. Given Mo Emperor's reputation for going back on his word, it’s highly likely to escalate to the Mahayana, or even Tribulation Transcendence Realm, in the end.”

“I hope that after you all return, you can cultivate diligently and strive to achieve a Breakthrough before the Fu Long Court. In doing so, my lecture today will not have been in vain.”

Everyone said in unison:

“We obey the Alliance Leader’s command!”

“You may disperse.”

“Yes!”

After the lecture, as everyone returned, the details of the lecture also spread.

Upon hearing that Gu Liangyuan possessed the ability of an Immortal guiding the way, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.

However, if only one person said so, it might be dismissed, but everyone who participated in the lecture said the same thing, forcing people to believe.

Seeing old friends who once had the same cultivation as themselves now return from Forget-Love Peak, directly surpassing them, made some people's minds become active.

Everyone has a competitive spirit, it's just a matter of degree.

Originally, everyone was blocked by a cultivation Bottleneck; if you were Body Integration, I was also Body Integration, and everyone was happy.

If you were inferior to me, I was even happier.

We were all happily slacking off together, and today you tell me you went to Forget-Love Peak and directly reached Mahayana?

Who could remain calm after that?

Where did their progress come from?

Gu Liangyuan.

Question: How can one also get Gu Liangyuan's Immortal guidance?

Answer: Join the Dao Alliance!

After receiving the news that Gu Liangyuan would lecture again in three years, those who had chosen to observe could no longer sit still.

Three years, the Fu Long Court wasn't even over yet.

In other words, after listening to the Dao, they could still withdraw from the Dao Alliance before Gu Liangyuan's wager failed!

This kind of deal was worth it, even if they had to pay a membership fee!

In the Sun Family of the Eastern Continent, dozens of Family heads sat together in the main hall, discussing.

The content of their discussion was Gu Liangyuan's Immortal guidance.

One of them, a burly man two meters tall with fiery red hair, spoke:

“Look at your petty ambitions; all you're saying, in the end, is that you want to join the Dao Alliance, isn't it?”

“You didn't join when you thought the Dao Alliance had no future.”

“Now that it's just starting to get better, you're all scrambling to join.”

“How do you think Gu Liangyuan will view you fence-sitters?”

“Do you think that when you go, just paying a membership fee will grant you the same treatment as those who joined earlier?”

“Not to mention the same treatment, it's more likely you'll face harsh words.”

“Whether you join the Dao Alliance or not, our Zheng Family is not joining. Farewell!”

With that, the red-haired strongman turned and left.

The crowd frowned upon hearing the red-haired strongman's words.

His words were not without reason.

But... the opportunity for Immortal guidance was indeed tempting.

Suddenly, the Liu Family Head stood up:

“Brother Zheng is right. Our Liu Family will also not get involved in this muddy water. It’s better to continue living in seclusion.”

“Farewell!”

The departure of two consecutive Families once again swayed the people in the main hall.

To go or not to go?

However, after the Liu Family Head bid farewell and left, his figure flickered several times, heading straight towards the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Not long after, he caught up with the red-haired strongman who was rushing towards Forget-Love Peak.

“Fellow Daoist Zheng, wait for me.”

The strongman turned his head and suddenly grinned:

“I knew Brother Liu would follow. Perfect, we can go together.”

The Liu Family Head walked alongside the red-haired strongman:

“Brother Zheng’s move is truly brilliant. Using words to stop other Families, then proceeding alone.”

“This way, Brother Zheng can be one step ahead of everyone and be the first to join the Dao Alliance.”

“As the first to pay the membership fee and join the Dao Alliance, your treatment will certainly be much better than those who come later.”

The red-haired strongman let out a laugh like a drum or a bell:

“Hahaha, he who knows me…”

Mid-sentence, his voice abruptly stopped. He saw the Liu Family Head suddenly shatter into thin air; it was merely a Void Realm image.

His true self had long since disappeared ahead.

“Liu Yishou, you're despicable!”

The red-haired strongman roared, tearing at the Void Realm with both hands, ripping it open, and speeding towards the Supreme Sacred Ground.

The remaining Family members in the great hall heard this sound and released their Divine Sense to investigate.

Seeing that the red-haired strongman was heading towards the Supreme Sacred Ground, they belatedly realized what was happening.

Oh, you Zheng Jingren, playing games like this, huh!

These people could no longer sit still. They each used their own methods, rushing towards the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Along the way, they chased each other, only to be able to see Gu Liangyuan one step earlier.

Unfortunately, their plan was destined to fail.

At this moment, Gu Liangyuan was hiding in the clouds above Yuan Country, observing Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen below.

After the lecture was finished, Gu Liangyuan saw that there was nothing to do for the time being, and on a whim, he had the idea of checking on the current situation of his Disciples.

That's why he went to Great Abyss to see them.

His first stop was to find Jun Ao Zhi.

At this time, Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen were walking together, followed closely by several Inner Sect Disciples.

Behind the Inner Sect Disciples were dozens of young boys and girls, all of whom possessed Spiritual Roots at a glance.

The lowest Aptitude was a person with a Three Spiritual Root.

A person with a Three Spiritual Root was nothing special to a Holy Land, but among Mortals, it was considered rare.

It was clear that this group of young people was very important to Yuan Country, which was why Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen personally escorted them.

After severing his emotions, Jun Ao Zhi's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

At this time, Jun Ao Zhi had already reached Core Formation Stage four.

Mo Chen's gains in Yuan Country were also considerable. Previously, he had been comprehending the Dao, understanding it on his own.

Now, he repeatedly taught the Mortal Method to others, which was equivalent to reviewing it himself again and again. This deepened Mo Chen's understanding of the Mortal Method, and his cultivation had also reached Core Formation Stage five.
