Chapter 1289: Chapter 1293: The Little Borer Zhu Minglang

“Today, I am here to give you a lecture, not to teach you how to become a towering Heavenly God, but to remind you that the world is vast beyond your imagination. No matter what realm you are in, you must always remain humble and low-profile. You can shine brightly and be unmatched, but you must not scorn everything and think you are above all others…”

The Old Immortal YaYue earnestly instructed, fearing that these disciples, having learned some spells and the Way of the Shepherd Dragon, would think they truly stand above all of creation and can command the myriad spirits of the world.

The world has its own laws.

Even gods cannot escape these laws.

No one is truly supreme!

“What’s the use of saying these things? So boring.” Little Fatty Chen Yihui started to doze off, completely uninterested in listening.

“The Immortal YaYue does have some experience. What he teaches is a mental method, which can prevent you from going astray on the path of divine cultivation and from being swayed by heart demons,” Zhu Minglang whispered to the Little Fatty.

Mental methods appear to be the most useless practice.

But having been through the darkest times, Zhu Minglang knows all too well that all gods are granted grace by the heavens and earth and are also eroded by various material desires.

To pursue the extreme means it’s easy to lose oneself.

To be undistracted also means to be on the verge of evil.

If the initial cultivation focused on the supremacy of power, then after reaching the God-state, both cultivating the mind and the way determine the realms a god can achieve.

The mental method taught by the Old YaYue God is similar to the breathing regulation method once taught by Meng Bingci to her disciples, where one relies on their own “Tranquil Stillwater” to wash away the “impurities” deep within the heart, unaffected by external temptations and inducements.

However, this mental method taught by the Old YaYue God is clearly much more sophisticated than Meng Bingci’s breathing method, which is also of great benefit to Zhu Minglang. After all, for someone like him whose cultivation base has increased too rapidly, the “impurities and toxins” accumulated in the body and heart are also piled up exponentially, which can easily breed heart demons and hinder advancement.

High divinity indeed makes cultivation unobstructed, but it does not mean there will be no heart demons.

Moreover, the gods that produce heart demons are mostly those who have not laid a solid foundation, who have not cultivated their minds properly during their growth, resulting in many flaws in their beliefs and will. As cultivation and realm grow higher, these flaws can lead to a massive collapse of cultivation in an instant, verifying the adage — A thousand-mile dike destroyed by an ant hole!

In the Dragon Gate, there is only climbing, fighting, plundering, and killing; it seems that just stopping for a moment would result in being thrown into an abyss from which one could never recover.

But the real world is not like that.

It requires contemplation, self-reflection, foundation-building, heart-refining, seeking the way, and questioning the heavens…

Zhu Minglang needs these foundational practices.

After all, the highest cultivation base achieved by Zhu Minglang in the North Dipper God State was only in the Starlight God King Level.

After the Starlight God King comes the Moon Radiance God.

And what kind of cultivation method follows after becoming the Moon Radiance God, Zhu Minglang does not know; it’s clear that it’s not as simple as absorbing Spirit Roots like in the Dragon Gate!

This mental method of the Old Immortal YaYue is certainly applicable to the realms of Star Gods, Moon Gods, and even Sun Gods.

Naturally, Zhu Minglang also listened intently, hoping to find clues to overcome future difficulties and avoid confusion.

…

“It seems that ascending to Moon Radiance God is not an easy task; I must be fully prepared,” Zhu Minglang reflected deeply after today’s lecture.

“Zhu Lang, it’s your turn for patrol today,” said a Deacon who walked over, holding a book and ticking Zhu Minglang’s name.

“I patrolled all night yesterday, and I haven’t even slept since attending the lecture this morning,” Zhu Minglang told the Deacon.

“If you’re told to go, then go. Stop your chattering. It’s an honor for you to do more for the Southern Heavenly Palace!” the Deacon said irritably.

“Alright.” Zhu Minglang couldn’t be bothered to quibble with such a petty official.

Inspections are a routine task for Outer Sect Disciples.

Such inspections simply involve visiting various islands to record the growth conditions of corals, Spirit Grass, Immortal Trees, and Immortal Fruits, and if there are any Spirit Beasts coming to steal a bite, to drive them away.

This job is about running around, quite tedious.

But for Zhu Minglang, it is a good opportunity to scope out the place.

Perhaps it’s because he has spent too much time in Dragon Gate, Zhu Minglang has now acquired the bad habit of plucking feathers from passing geese, after all, all the Spirit Roots in Dragon Gate are unclaimed.

The Southern Heavenly Palace Immortal Sect has an immense amount of such spiritual herbs and Divine Roots, and Zhu Minglang is also on the lookout.

How can one say ‘stealing’ when it’s from one’s own sect?

Besides, if they can grow so lush and thriving, isn’t it because his own Sword Spirit Dragon is lighting and heating them up?

The whole Jun Tian owes him fifty years of rotation pay, the Sword Spirit Dragon is still young and doesn’t understand these matters, shouldn’t he, as a parent, claim it back?

After an inspection round, Zhu Minglang finally found several good medicinal herbs suitable for the Nine-tailed God’s body replenishment.

Originally, forced growth caused the Nine-tailed Dragon to fall directly from a High-ranked Divine Master Cultivation Base to a Middle-level Divine Master, and since then, the cultivation base of the Nine-tailed Dragon has been climbing rather slowly.

Fortunately, Zhu Minglang has selected a few Water God Corals, which are Yin in nature; the Nine-tailed Dragon finds them delicious and crunchy!

As for the Immortal Sect Deacon coming to investigate, Zhu Minglang is not afraid at all.

Because the spiritual resources he took were actually stolen or snatched away by those powerful Spirit Beasts, Zhu Minglang managed to retrieve a part of them with his high strength, and from this part, he took what he needed.

Thus, not only will the Immortal Sect not punish him, but they will also reward him. The direct rewards can be sold for money, which can be saved up to exchange for even better spiritual resources!

Even if he’s just an Outer Sect Disciple.

Zhu Minglang can also live an exceptionally comfortable and prosperous life!

Of course, if he gets into the Inner Gate, he will come into contact with more heavenly and earthly treasures, Ten Thousand Year Coagulations.

By then, using the same method, he could quickly nourish the Nine-tailed Dragon and the Chongwang Dragon until they are fat and white!!

Once he becomes a direct disciple, it seems he may even get to help himself to his Immortal Master’s belongings, those treasures that can promote one to a Moon Radiance God…

As for whether it’s harming his moral integrity, Zhu Minglang doesn’t care anymore.

After all, it’s what the whole Jun Tian owes him!

My Sword Spirit Dragon, which I’ve cultivated with great effort, has been used by you all as a sun, the fifty years of Spirit Root tributes should be enough to cultivate a Sun Corona God, right??

The Sword Spirit Dragon nourishes all beings, but who will nourish these newly adopted Dragon Babies of mine that are eagerly waiting to be fed??

Actually, being at the grassroots level is quite good.

No one will suspect me.

Most importantly, scoping out places is really convenient, Bai Qingchen of the Young Spirit Court ignored this point initially!

A small worm also has the joy of a small worm.

Even a small worm has its day when an ancient tree’s core is hollowed out by it!
