Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 92: Chapter 91: After the Sun Goes Out, Comes the Mooni

Translator: 549690339

During the period when no Gathering Spirit Array was set up in the Lan Ting, the three of them practiced separately, consolidating and improving their Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation. After the second floor was equipped with the Gathering Spirit Array, the four of them practiced together, exchanging their cultivation experiences and gaining many insights in their spare time.

For instance, Lu Yang learned that Man Gu would not recite “Words of the Saint” while standing in a horse-riding stance, believing it to be disrespectful; however, Man Gu would assume such a stance while reciting “Words of the Saint”.

For instance, Man Gu learned that in order to train his spiritual power, Meng Jingzhou often spent the day in a brothel, merely listening to music and doing nothing else. This drew admiration.

For instance, Meng Jingzhou learned that Lu Yang cleans the food stuck in his teeth, using Cow Hair Sword Qi, representing a new method of practice.

For instance, Lan Ting learned that the Central Continent was once refined by the stars.

How could this be?” Lan Ting was dazed, astonished by this revelation, which resolved some of her questions.

” What kind of questions?”

Lan Ting pondered and said, “You all would know too, there are two implications in the name of our Laurel Fairy Palace. One is because the palace is filled with laurel trees, and the other is because the palace believes the moon holds some special significance.”

The Laurel Fairy Palace was built at the top of a snowy mountain to get closer to the moon, reflecting the significance of the moon for the palace.

“When I first joined Laurel Fairy Palace, I asked my master why the moon had special significance, and what about the sun and other stars? Can’t we draw power from those stars, like from the Big Dipper?”

My master told me that the moon and sun were originally one entity. As for the other stars, she just smiled knowingly without elaborating.”

“Yet, whenever my master didn’t understand something, she used to smile in the same manner, so I didn’t take much notice.”

“After hearing your discussion, I now think that she probably knew the truth about the stars.”

Lu Yang frowned, “The moon and the sun are one entity?”

Lan Ting nodded, “Originally, I didn’t understand what this meant, until one day when two senior sisters were conversing, and one of them mentioned, ‘The moon comes after the sun extinguishes’.”

“The moon conies after the sun extinguishes?” Lu Yang was surprised. This was an explanation he had never heard before.

Does it mean that all the stars in the sky are illusions, and only the sun and the moon truly exist, and both constitute a dual-system?

The burning entity during the day is the sun and at night it extinguishes and becomes the moon?

The sun’s energy is incredibly terrifying. It is believed by some that the sun is the source of all life. Many people still use the sun for cultivation, either through contemplation or comprehension.

If the sun turns into the moon after it gets extinguished, where does all that energy go? It would be an enormous force!

Does the sun at night retract its power, keep it within, and transform into the moon?

Thinking out loud, Lu Yang mumbled, “Why didn’t the Ancient Nameless One refine the entire universe but left out the sun alone?”

Without the sun, the world would drown in darkness, with lives decaying. As per other’s narration, the Ancient Nameless One viewed human lives as having no more worth than that of weeds. Would he keep the sun out of kindness?

Suddenly, Meng Jingzhou asked, “Do you know about the Yaoyang Sect?” “You mean one of the Four Great Devil Sects, the Yaoyang Sect?” Lu Yang knew very little about it.

“Yes, the Yaoyang Sect believes in the sun, thinking it possesses mysterious powers. They believe when the sun awakes, everything will perish. They even advocate self-destruction before the sun rejuvenates, claiming they will go to paradise.”

Meng Jingzhou said, “I mean no offense to the Fairy Palace, but if the sun and the moon are one entity, then the perspective of the Yaoyang Sect and that of the Fairy Palace seem to have something in common. They both believe in the extraordinary existence and horrifying power of the sun and moon.”

Lan Ting shook her head, not considering Meng Jingzhou’s words as disrespectful. In the palace, such viewpoints existed too, even more radical ones than that.

Meng Jingzhou guessed, “Perhaps the Ancient Nameless One is hiding within the sun. The sun has been suspended in the sky since ancient times and nobody has suspected it, it’s a blind spot in our thinking.”

Lu Yang put forward another guess, “Or perhaps the sun contains a tremendous power, so great that even the Ancient Nameless One dared not touch.”

No matter which possibility was correct, the sun and the moon were definitely not as peaceful as they appeared.

“Forget about it, let’s not think about it anymore. We better enjoy the Spring Festival. It’s not every day we get to celebrate.” Meng Jingzhou gave up thinking and invited everyone to relax.

Instead of pondering here, it’s better to ask the elderly in their families when they return home.

Those old fellows definitely knew more than they did.

Like how they knew he possessed the Single Body Spirit Root but didn’t tell him about it, only saying that he would know what his spirit root was once he came to the Seek Dao Sect.

As the Spring Festival was approaching, the atmosphere became more festive. Various stores started organizing activities, ready to welcome the surge in customers. The barbecue shops also started preheating. A promotion was running where patrons receive a tofu mask with every grilled skewer purchased, which was very popular among children.

On the streets, colorful little flags could be seen everywhere. This was a tradition in Yanjiang County, funded by the government office, under the pretext of imitating the colors of spring to welcome the arrival of spring.

County Lord Li specifically instructed the flag planting to be speedy so as not to disturb the daily lives of the residents. He even mobilized many people for this purpose.

In fact, the speed of planting flags would not affect life in any significant way. It was merely a show by County Lord Li for the residents.

Once these little flags are hoisted, it indeed provides a festive atmosphere.” Meng Jingzhou laughed, pointing out that even the barbecue shop at the front door was inserting a small red flag.

“Look here, rare books for sale!” A street-side old man with yellow teeth was advertising his wares, piquing the four’s interest.

” What kind of books are you selling?”

“Martial arts secret scriptures, out-of-print cultivation methods, you name it!” said the yellow teeth old man with a laugh.

Meng Jingzhou flicked through the books casually and suddenly found a martial arts secret bible. “Lu Yang, look at this book, it’s completely suitable for you. If you’re willing to practice it, I promise you can achieve the highest level.”

Lu Yang took a look at the cover: The Toad Skill.

“Get lost!”

Soon enough, Lu Yang also found a martial arts secret bible and suggested Meng Jingzhou practice it. “This book feels like it is tailor-made for you. If you’re willing to practice it, even ascending to become a martial immortal may not be impossible.”

Meng Jingzhou looked at the cover, Sunflower Treasure Book.

The two men looked at each other and chuckled, kindly buying the books for each other.

Man Gu, seeing the first page of the Sunflower Treasure Book, which stated, “To practice this skill, self-castration is needed”, lapsed into thought, “Does this mean women can’t practice this martial art?”

Lan Ting did not hear the mutual taunt between Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, she was engrossed in a serialized novel.

The novel narrated the life of a courtesan who wanted to buy out her contract and pursue true love, entrusting her life to a scholar. However, the scholar was weak and selfish. Although he genuinely loved the courtesan, he was too shy to marry her. Coaxed by his friends, he eventually betrayed the courtesan, which led to the tragic end of the courtesan jumping into a river.

Lan Ting was moved to tears, feeling pity for the courtesan.

Watching Lan Ting engrossed in the story, Lu Yang also stretched his neck and read along. He found the story to be very vivid and touching.

Peeking over, he saw the title of the book.

“Dream of the Brothel”

Lu Yang:

He found the book title to have a strangely raw appeal.
