My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 696

Chapter 696: Preaching to the World (Part One)

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and pondered on it. When a master preached, he would give sincere advice, impart knowledge, cultivation methods, and his earnest thoughts. Everything originated from the teacher himself. Apart from teaching the students new things, a good teacher would seriously guide his students even if it meant having to rebuke them occasionally. Teachers were like light towers that guided the way of the students.

Some nicer teachers would teach their students their own cultivation secrets or pass on their own unique secrets. Usually, only disciples who had earned their teacher’s trust and were deemed worthy would be given this treatment.

The chief of the Three Sects, Yun Tianluo, could not bring himself to reveal the scenes of his attempt to break through to the world. In the end, he chose to seal it within the chessboard. Lu Zhou, who was older than him, was the one who undid the seal.

How was he going to demonstrate it again?

Si Wuya was feeling extremely curious at this moment.

After pondering on it for a moment, Lu Zhou said, “I’ll sprout the leaf again as a demonstration to all.”

Si Wuya was shocked. He did not expect his master would choose a troublesome method such as this. Even if his master wrote his thoughts down and spread them to everyone, no one would have anything negative to say about his master. In fact, they would have felt incredibly grateful.

“Master, why do you have to wait for that specific day?” Si Wuya asked, puzzled. His master was already the greatest and the only Nine-leaf cultivator in Great Yan. It was not difficult for his master to demonstrate the process of sprouting a leaf again. All his master had to do was suppress his avatar’s strength and recreate the scene of him sprouting the nine leaf. Why did his master need to wait?

Lu Zhou looked at Si Wuya and said, “You’re asking too many questions.”

Si Wuya hastily bowed and no longer dared to ask any questions. Since his master refused to answer his questions, how could he dare to ask any more questions? He only bowed again and apologized. “Forgive me my rudeness, master.”

“I’m just preaching to the world by making a demonstration. It won’t directly raise their cultivation bases. It’s up to the individual to determine how much he or she can understand,” Lu Zhou said.

“I understand, master. I will spread the word.” Si Wuya nodded.

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “If there’s nothing else, that will be all.”

Si Wuya said, “Master, the modifications of the Ten Terminal Formation are complete. Apart from that, the two academies did their best to create new Formations. In these uncertain times, with the invasion of beasts, humans should band together and deal with the common threat. I’ve made two decisions on my own.”

“Two decisions?”

“The first one is to make the nine provinces equal with Formations of the same grade. However, we will tweak it somewhat so that our enemies won’t be able to easily find their weaknesses. The second decision is to tell the people that it’s possible that the beasts contain treasures. This is to motivate them and give them the courage to fight the beasts,” Si Wuya explained.

After listening to Si Wuya’s words, Lu Zhou nodded slightly and said tonelessly, “Good.”

Indeed, Si Wuya’s second decision would greatly motivate the cultivators to kill the beasts.

Then, Si Wuya said before respectfully leaving the room, “I’ll take my leave, then.”

…

News about the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch intention to preach to the world spread throughout the cultivation world like a wildfire.

The relay stations in the main cities in the nine provinces informed each other of this news.

…

In a certain relay station in the Divine Capital.

“I heard that the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch is going to preach to the world and demonstrate the way to reach the Nine-leaf stage. I’m truly impressed by his magnanimity,” someone exclaimed emotionally.

“With the beasts wreaking havoc everywhere, perhaps, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch is the only one who has the ability to deal with them now. was the only one who would possess this ability. Now that I think about it, the ten great sects in the past were truly sinister.”

A cultivator nearby raised his cup and said, “I heard that red lotus cultivators have appeared in Yu Province. The patriarch exposed them with the golden mirror and killed them on the spot! I reckon the wild beasts aren’t our only problems. There are also the Other Tribes!”

To Great Yan cultivators, those with wolf king, tiger king, or lion king avatars, and the red lotus cultivators were all classified as Other Tribes.

“Will you go?” someone asked.

“I don’t think it’s open to everyone though. Everyone in attendance is surely geniuses who have high chances of reaching the Nine-leaf stage. Those who aren’t talented would only gain more knowledge, at most. It’s almost useless for those who are untalented to attend. In any case, even with the patriarch’s teachings, it all boils down to the individual’s ability to improve. It’s not like everyone can reach the Nine-leaf stage after listening to patriarch’s teachings.”

“You have a point.”

…

In the corner of the relay station, a middle-aged man put his teacup down. Then, he tossed two silver coins on the table before he left the relay station.

After leaving the Divine Capital, he flew toward Golden Court Mountain.

When he was halfway there, the middle-aged man looked at the winged beasts in the air and shook his head. “A falcon? Slightly too weak.”

He continued flying until he was in a dense part of the forest before landing on a spot filled with Formation veins. He moved his palms and circulated his Primal Qi. Wisps of red energy appeared. Then, he produced some talismans from his pocket and drew some symbols over them with his energy. When he raised his right hand, a red lotus blossomed and flames burst forth.

The talismans were burned to a crisp and disappeared.

“I hope the Sky Martial Court will send their forces here soon… Great Yan is progressing much more quickly than we expected.”

If they waited until there were more Nine-leaf cultivators here, it would be too late for the red lotus domain’s forces to come here.

He stayed in the area filled with Formation veins and did not leave.

After a while, the center of the Formation shone with a red light.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man was clearly overjoyed. He circulated his Primal Qi and laid out talismans. His red energy fell on the talismans and formed scripts on them. “A single-capacity Sky Shuttle is successfully formed! One person can be transported in seven days!”

Swoosh!

The talismans were burned to ashes again.

At the same time, the Formation veins on the ground disappeared as well.

The middle-aged man frowned as he muttered to himself, “I’m out of talismans. Are Gu Ming and the two idiots dead?”

Transmitting information through Formations was a process that consumed many talismans and much Primal Qi. Without the talismans, it was almost impossible to transmit information. Most of the talismans he brought here had been taken by his comrades so he was on his own now. Fortunately, he was not disappointed this time.

“Seven days…” the middle-aged man muttered under his breath. Then, he took flight and made his way to Golden Court Mountain.

…

Five out of the seven days have passed.

Many cultivators were waiting around Golden Court Mountain.

Tangzi Town, the settlement closest to Golden Court Mountain, was packed to the brim.

Although many of the people here had very low chances of reaching the Nine-leaf stage, it did not stop them from coming to admire the elites.

Meanwhile, those who genuinely wanted to learn about the method to reach the Nine-leaf stage had directly made their way to Golden Court Mountain.

…

Inside the eastern pavilion.

Lu Zhou was cultivating with his eyes closed.

“Master… There are many Eight-leaf cultivators at the foot of the mountain requesting an audience. Will you meet them?” Mingshi Yin’s voice rang in the air.

Lu Zhou opened his eyes and asked, “Which Eight-leaf cultivators?”

“From the Three Sects: Nan Gongwei, Feng Yizhi, and Chu Nan. From the Big Dipper Academy: Zhou Youcai and ten of his disciples. There’s also the Purple Yang Faction’s Master, Li Zhangfeng. From the Core Yang Sect, there’s Shen Liangshou, also known as the first person on the white list. There’s also the Clear Water School’s Chen Ranzhi, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s Lu Liang, the Fiend Temple’s Duan Xing, the Blossom Faction’s Madam Zhang, and the Ancient Saint Cult’s master, Jie Kai…”

“The Ancient Saint Cult’s Master?” Lu Zhou interjected.

Mingshi Yin smacked his forehead as though realization just dawned on him. “I’ll chase him away now.”

“Wait.”

“Master, what do you mean?”

“You can discuss this with Old Seventh before you make a decision.”

“Understood.” Mingshi Yin turned around and left. However, he was puzzled. Old Eighth’s father, Zhu Tianyuan, was the Master of the Ancient Saint Cult. However, an impostor, Jie Kai, had come? That Jie Kai must be dreaming if he thought he could sneak him. As his master suggested, he spoke to Si Wuya, and both of them descended the mountain.

…

At the foot of the mountain.

Countless cultivators were hovering in the air.
