162: Chapter 161 Teaching the Dao Body, Meow Meow Cult Doctrine

One kun-hour ago——

Super God World, Mount Mao.

Qilin sat inside the Spiritual Gathering Array, drawing Talismans with a miserable expression.

Standing beside her was a figure—none other than Ye Qingxuan. However, this Ye Qingxuan was icy all over, completely lacking Ye Qingxuan's usual ethereal and otherworldly aura.

This was Ye Qingxuan's Dao Self Body, devoid of emotion and possessing absolute rationality, left behind by Ye Qingxuan to instruct Qilin.

"The essence of a Talisman is to communicate with the divine; the so-called divine refers to the rules by which heaven and earth operate."

The Dao body's icy voice came over:

"In ancient times, Wu and Zhu communicated with heaven and earth in various ways. Talismanic Incantations are the materialization of the rules of heaven and earth. The sages of the Dao sect discovered this essence and created the system of Talismans!"

"After receiving a Talisman register, one can cast talismanic arts. You have not yet received one, so for now, you must memorize all the Talismanic Incantations."

"Use a single speck of Innate spiritual light to communicate with heaven and earth, driving all spells. All spells are all deities..."

Listening to Ye Qingxuan's words, Qilin's fingers continuously danced in the void. As the final stroke fell, a Blazing Fire Talisman materialized in the Void Realm.

Before Qilin could even rejoice, with a bang, the Talisman dissipated.

Qilin looked at the disappearing specks of spiritual light, feeling like crying without tears. She felt her life was pitch dark, and she had no idea how many times this had happened.

"Continue."

Hearing the icy voice of her Senior Brother's Dao body beside her ear, Qilin felt the meager amount of Spiritual Qi left in her body. Just as she wanted to complain about something, under the effect of the Spiritual Gathering Array, the surrounding Spiritual Qi began to gather into her body.

In just a few breaths, her spiritual power was fully restored, and she even smoothly made a Breakthrough to the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

"Senior Brother, if I remember correctly, shouldn't drawing Talismans be done on Talisman paper? Why did you directly make me draw them in the Void Realm?"

Qilin really couldn't hold it in anymore. For two and a half hours, she had drawn a single Blazing Fire Talisman over a hundred times. From collapsing at the very first stroke at the beginning to now barely being able to draw a complete Talismanic Incantation, her spiritual power had recovered back and forth seven or eight times.

Not a single attempt had succeeded.

If her Senior Brother had let her draw on Talisman paper, she would have succeeded long ago.

"Using Talisman paper is too troublesome; it requires purifying the body, burning incense, and setting up an altar to cast spells. With that time, it's better to draw directly in the Void Realm—simple and practical."

As the Dao body spoke, spiritual light flowed from its fingertips, and Talismans filled the air, suspended mid-air. Their patterns were complete and their spiritual power was stable, without the slightest sign of collapse.

Qilin widened her eyes, completely dumbfounded.

She held back a bellyful of grievances, wildly complaining in her heart: So only she found it difficult, right?

She had practiced bitterly over a hundred times and failed every time, yet this icy Dao body could casually condense a perfect Talisman?

But she didn't dare to retort. She could only droop her head, obediently raising her hand to continue drawing Talismans in the Void Realm.

The Dao body's placid voice sounded again, still devoid of any emotion: "Practice makes perfect. Continue to temper yourself; do not rely on external objects."

Qilin: "..."

She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

It was just that the live broadcast camera of the National Destiny Space wasn't aimed here; otherwise, there would have been another massive wave of complaints.

Master Yuanxin would probably be so angry that his beard and hair would fly upwards. Ye Qingxuan himself lacked common sense regarding the recognition of talent, and his Dao body lacked it even more.

Mount Mao, by contrast, was exceptionally lively at this moment. When Ye Qingxuan left, he didn't take Xiaojiu with him. Without any restraints, the little cat ran wild on the mountain, darting east and west. The usually quiet Daoist temple was thrown into utter chaos by it.

Yet the Daoists on the mountain dared not say anything because this was the Ancestral Master's pet. Speaking of seniority, they actually had to address this little cat as Ancestral Master!

They could only respectfully call her Lady Sanhua and let her do as she pleased.

...

Super God World, Lingyin Temple——

Utilizing the authority of the Heavenly Dao, Duyuan directly teleported to Lingyin Temple.

As soon as he landed, the Heavenly Dao authority on him was retracted.

At this moment, Duyuan was frantically muttering in his heart: 'Scared this poor monk to death! This damned world is too dangerous. Right now, I must quickly wrap up the preaching, and run away the moment it's done. Whoever wants to do this damned mission can do it.'

He walked briskly toward the plaza in the center of Lingyin Temple.

At this moment, there were over five thousand monks gathered in the plaza.

There had originally been over two hundred thousand Buddhist monks in this world. Duyuan used the Heavenly Eye and Mind-Reading to screen all of them. Those steeped in sin were directly killed, while those with impure Heart-Nature and no major evils were all expelled from Buddhism.

After layers of screening, only a little over five thousand true monks with pure Heart-Nature and single-minded devotion to the Buddha remained in the entire world.

At this moment, the five thousand monks were all sitting cross-legged neatly in the plaza, silently comprehending the true meaning of Buddhism and the cultivation methods previously imparted by Duyuan.

Seeing Duyuan return, the leader, Liaoyin, the current abbot of Lingyin Temple, quickly stood up and hurried forward.

Liaoyin was seven generations junior to Duyuan, and his attitude was incomparably respectful as he bowed in salute: "Ancestral Master, you have returned!"

Duyuan couldn't be bothered with pleasantries. He walked straight to the exact center of the plaza, and with a booming sound, an invisible Dharma Domain instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire plaza.

This was the Divine Ability Domain that could only be controlled at the Soul Transformation Stage. The Buddhist charm was profound, leaving all the monks in the audience deeply shocked.

Duyuan's voice was like a grand bell, echoing in all directions: "No need for words! Borrow this poor monk's Buddhist charm and Cultivate with all your might!"

The camera cuts back to Mount Mao——

Holding Bai Yuekui's hand, Ye Qingxuan teleported back, landing above the plaza of Mount Mao.

He casually released his Divine Sense to scan the movements on the mountain, instantly breaking out in dark lines on his forehead, looking completely helpless.

Beside him, Bai Yuekui looked down at the farce below and burst into laughter, unable to close her mouth.

Mount Mao at this moment completely lost its usual solemn and austere appearance of quiet cultivation, becoming outrageously lively.

Xiaojiu had turned into the size of an ordinary cat, squatting on top of the stone monument personally carved by Ye Qingxuan.

Its two hind legs stood straight, its front paws spread out, wearing an expression of complete liberation and the joyous comfort of regaining freedom. It gave off the strong visual sense of Andy Dufresne stepping out of Shawshank Redemption to see the light of day again, and it opened its mouth to shout meow after meow: "The Sacred Fire shines bright, the Sacred Fire glows blazing; all my Disciples, meow meow meow meow!"

Below, a group of young Daoists stood in neat ranks, shouting in unison following the little cat's slogan, creating a lively momentum.

In the crowd, a young Daoist with a curious expression raised his head and loudly asked Xiaojiu on the stone monument: "Lady Sanhua! What on earth are the tenets of our Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult?"

Xiaojiu instantly raised its head, puffed out its small chest, and with an arrogant, proud, yet milky-voiced and incomparably domineering tone, replied: "This meow's tenets are very simple! Eat and sleep, sleep and eat; if there's a problem, look for a Daoist!"

Mount Mao's plaza was packed to the brim at this moment; all the Daoist sect Disciples of this world had gathered here.

Only because Ye Qingxuan and Duyuan held transcendent status and came to help them did the national leadership of the Super God World completely pretend not to see. If it were ordinary people, this scale would have long been dealt with as gathering a crowd to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

The Sect Heads of various sects stood at the back of the crowd, and upon hearing the meow meow cult's tenets shouted out by Xiaojiu, their eyes all lit up, and their hearts fluttered wildly.

Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and throwing all troubles to the Ancestral Master—wasn't this equivalent to lying down and getting a guaranteed ticket to Immortal Ascension?

But this group of old foxes had lived for decades and were crystal clear in their hearts.

Xiaojiu had a child's temperament; a little cat could take it seriously, but they dared not take it seriously at all.

They knew the Dao Masters' tempers better than anyone. If they really dared to slack off, rot away, and slack through the meow meow cult, they would definitely get disciplined. The Sect Heads could only secretly droop in envy without daring to make a sound.

But the new Disciples who had just entered the Daoist gates, all of whom were fresh college graduates, were different. Their eyes radiated clear stupidity, and they were completely thrilled.

A young Disciple of the Wudang Sect squeezed forward two steps and shouted loudly: "Leader! Look at my Aptitude! Can I join the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it instantly caused an uproar.

Shangqing, Longhu Mountain, Shenxiao Sect, Chunyang Palace, Baiyun Temple, and the little Daoist boys from various sub-temples all frantically squeezed forward, and one shouting voice after another rose up.

"Leader, look at me!"

"I want to join the cult too!"

"Choose me, choose me!"

The Sect Heads of various sects watching the show from the sidelines instantly lost their composure. With dark lines on their faces, they sternly shouted: "You wicked scoundrel! Retreat at once!"

At the same time, the live comment section of the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room was completely flooded and boiling over.

[Good grief! So this is the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult? After listening, I even want to join!]

[Who wouldn't want to? With Daoist Ye backing us up, someone will carry it even if the sky falls!]

[I wonder if Lady Sanhua is still recruiting Disciples? I'm packing my luggage overnight to go up the mountain!]

[I don't ask to be a Core Disciple, does the Meow Meow Cult lack handymen? I can do it!]

[Master! Is it still too late for me to quit Tianshi Mansion now? I want to go be a handyman for the Meow Meow Cult!]

[Count me in! I'll quit the Heavenly Demon Palace directly! I'm turning over a new leaf to join the Meow Meow Cult!]

[Hearing this makes me want to go up the mountain right away! What hard cultivation work; it's better to follow Lady Sanhua to eat, sleep, and lie flat!]

The various Sect Heads of Blue Star looked at the bullet comments in the live broadcast room, all breaking out in dark lines on their foreheads.

Daoist sect Disciples held the most grudges. All the Sect Heads silently noted down the IDs of those shouting about betraying their sects to join the Meow Meow Cult in their hearts, secretly plotting that when these boys returned, they must give them a thorough thrashing to cure their crooked thoughts.

CCTV Broadcast Room——

The host, Little Nun, listened with her eyes shining, turning her head to look at Master Yuanxin with an expectant expression. Her eyes clearly spelled out: Does Lady Sanhua's Meow Meow Cult still recruit people?

Daoist Yuanxin wore a look of utter helplessness.

Celestial Master Zhang and Master Kongming on the side didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.

Celestial Master Zhang gently shook his head and sighed sincerely: "Truly worthy of a holy spirit; her mind is pure and transparent, living the most carefree life. Even this old Daoist is somewhat envious."

Master Kongming chimed in to explain: "It is only because Daoist Qingxuan escorts her that this little cat can eat and sleep unscrupulously, carefree and worry-free."

Master Yuanxin: "Our generation's cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. The Dao has never had any talk of laziness and comfort. Such fantasies of lying flat and enjoying blessings are ultimately impractical, unless you are lucky enough to have someone backing you up."
