281: The voice of the Great Way, preached by the entire clan.

The three-day period passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of this day, the sky above Qingzhou City was excessively blue, with several auspicious clouds drifting leisurely, seemingly anticipating something.

The Shen Family Central Training Ground, a massive plaza capable of holding tens of thousands of people, was already packed shoulder to shoulder.

Not only the Direct Descendants and Collateral Descendants of the Shen Family, but also the cores of the Chen and Zhang Families who were affiliated with the Shen Family, as well as the loyal Guest Elders, had all arrived early.

Tens of thousands of people sat cross-legged, a dense, dark mass, yet terrifyingly silent.

No one whispered, and no one walked around casually.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the empty bluestone clearing at the center of the Training Ground.

In their eyes, the same flame burned.

That was fervor! That was anticipation!

The Grand Elder was going to preach the Dao!

This news, over the past three days, spread as if it had wings, causing the blood of every member of the Shen Family to boil.

To the younger generation, Shen Yuanmo was a legend, a myth, the Invincible God of War whose stories they grew up hearing.

To the older generation, Shen Yuanmo was the Savior, the Leader who guided the Family out of the mire and toward glory.

To personally hear such a legendary figure preach the Dao was a blessing Cultivated over several lifetimes!

The sun rose high in the sky.

When the first ray of sunlight shone vertically onto the center of the Training Ground.

Buzz—

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor any grand display of tearing the Void Realm.

A figure in a green robe appeared abruptly and naturally upon the bluestone.

He did not sit on a high platform, nor did he set up a prayer mat; he simply stood there casually, hands clasped behind his back, a smile on his face.

Shen Yuanmo.

He had arrived.

The moment he appeared, the Training Ground, which had previously held faint sounds of breathing, fell into complete silence.

Even the wind seemed to halt, daring not to disturb this esteemed existence when he spoke.

Shen Yuanmo's gaze slowly swept across the entire venue.

His eyes were gentle and calm, without the slightest oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Yet, everyone his gaze passed over felt a marvelous sensation of their Soul being cleansed and their entire body becoming transparent.

"Everyone is here."

Shen Yuanmo spoke.

His voice was not loud, and he did not use magic power to amplify it, yet it clearly resonated in everyone's ears, as if directly imprinted in their minds.

"Today, I will not speak of profound Divine Abilities, nor will I speak of lethal Secret Arts."

"I will only speak about what Cultivation truly is."

As soon as he said this, many clan members who had been hoping to learn some Peerless Ultimate Move showed a trace of confusion in their eyes.

Speak about Cultivation?

What is there to talk about regarding this most basic of things?

But the next moment, as Shen Yuanmo began his narration, all doubts turned into deep shock.

"Qi Refining is not about absorbing Qi into the body—that is a dead process. Qi Refining is about drawing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to light the lamp of one's own being..."

"Foundation Establishment is not about liquid solidifying—that is merely building a wall. Foundation Establishment is about forging the Foundation of the Dao, the first step in seizing destiny from the heavens..."

Shen Yuanmo's words were simple and unadorned, without any obscure or difficult vocabulary.

But the content he spoke of pointed directly to the essence of Cultivation!

He analyzed these most basic Cultivation methods from the height of the Soul Transformation Rank, from the perspective of the Chaos where the Myriad Dao Return to One.

Every sentence contained the Supreme Truth of the Great Dao!

As he spoke, phenomena began to appear in the sky above the Training Ground.

The originally invisible Spiritual Qi actually became visible to the naked eye, transforming into five-colored lotus flowers that drifted down above the crowd.

That was the Resonance of Heaven and Earth triggered by the Sound of the Great Dao!

The clan members present, whether they were Qi Refining Novices who had just started or Elders who had been at Foundation Establishment for many years, all fell into a mysterious state of Epiphany at this moment.

The Bottlenecks and confusions they had encountered in their past Cultivation were instantly melted away by Shen Yuanmo's words, like accumulated snow meeting the scorching sun.

"So that's how it is... I've been cultivating wrongly all this time!"

"Drawing Spiritual Qi into the Body isn't relying on 'sucking,' it relies on 'sensing'! I understand! I understand!"

From time to time, the aura of a Breakthrough erupted from people in the crowd.

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

That was the sound of Bottlenecks shattering, rising and falling, like a grand symphony.

After finishing the basics, Shen Yuanmo changed the subject and brought up the Family's Core Cultivation Technique—the Great Five Elements Glazed Art.

This Cultivation Technique was originally deduced by him back then, but now, in his view, it still contained quite a few flaws.

"Although the Great Five Elements Glazed Art can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Realm, my vision was still shallow back then. The three nodes regarding the Five Elements Conversion are slightly awkward."

As Shen Yuanmo spoke, he raised his hand and made gestures in the air.

Countless golden runes appeared out of thin air, leaping and combining at his fingertips.

Perfect Deduction was activated once again!

"Today, I shall perfect this Cultivation Technique one more time."

"Listen closely to the new Incantation: The Five Elements mutually generate, endlessly sustaining life. Li Fire entering Kan Water is not a conflict, but rather mutual assistance..."

As the new Incantation was recited, the golden runes in the air exploded, turning into countless streaks of light that drilled into the space between the eyebrows of every clan member Cultivating this technique.

Boom!

Above the Training Ground, the previously calm Spiritual Qi cloud layer instantly boiled!

Multicolored auspicious clouds frantically gathered, forming a gigantic funnel of Spiritual Qi that inverted over the Training Ground.

Every clan member Cultivating the Great Five Elements Glazed Art felt that the magic power which had previously circulated sluggishly within their bodies instantly flowed unimpeded, like a surging river!

The circulation efficiency increased by at least thirty percent!

"Ah—!!!"

Just then, an unrestrained long howl soared into the sky from the front of the crowd!

Shen Qifa Shen Qifa, who had been sitting cross-legged in the front row, was now enveloped in a rich Core Fragrance and azure spiritual light.

The Bottleneck that had kept him stuck at the Early Golden Core Stage for many years shattered after hearing Shen Yuanmo's explanation of the Five Elements Conversion!

Boom!

A powerful aura belonging to the Middle Golden Core Stage burst forth from him, sweeping across the entire venue!

"It's broken! I've broken through! I've broken through to the Middle Golden Core Stage!"

Shen Qifa Shen Qifa was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Yuanmo.

"Thank you, Grand Elder, for the Grace of Imparting the Dao!"

This bow was like a signal.

Immediately after, the auras of two more Elders at Foundation Establishment Perfection surged, and they actually triggered signs of Core Formation on the spot!

"Heaven bless the Shen Family! Heaven bless the Shen Family!"

Shen Zongdao watched this scene, his beard trembling with excitement.

It was merely one sermon!

Yet it granted the Family one more Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and possibly added two newly advanced Golden Cores!

This was simply a miracle!

The sermon lasted until dusk.

When Shen Yuanmo stopped speaking and his figure slowly dissipated on the bluestone.

The entire Training Ground remained in complete silence.

Everyone was immersed in the lingering Enlightenment of the Great Dao, unwilling to awaken for a long time.

On this day, the Shen Family gained thirty-six new Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

The number of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators who broke through minor Realms was countless!

The strength of the entire Family completed a terrifying Overall Leap in this single day!

When the crowd finally came back to their senses and looked at the empty bluestone, the fervor in their eyes was beyond description.

That was not worship of the strong.

That was faith in a god!

As long as the Grand Elder was present, the Shen Family becoming a place where Everyone is like a Dragon would no longer be an empty phrase!
