Chapter 757: Chapter 12: Tao Ancestor’s Incarnation
East Sea, near the rebuilt Longbo Kingdom.
Under the leadership of Yao Xi, the newly born witch of Longbo, the Longbo Giants have successfully rebuilt their homeland.
Numerous large islands are densely distributed in the sea.
Then, driven by the golden turtles, they drift with the tide, always maintaining the formation of the [Heaven and Earth Net Grand Array].
Among them, the largest Golden Turtle Island is carried by the leader of the golden turtles - the spirit turtle, presenting a distinct appearance from the other islands.
Because the owner of this Golden Turtle Island is Luo Qiao, the future Tongtian Sect Leader.
An almost one-to-one replica of the Biyou Palace is the center of this Golden Turtle Island, surrounded by various strange creatures and beasts.
Every sunrise, Luo Qiao would teach the cultivation method in Biyou Palace.
Whenever it reaches this time, the entire sea area becomes exceptionally silent, with only Luo Qiao’s voice of teaching Dao echoing near the sea.
Whether it’s the original creatures of Golden Turtle Island or the dragon, snake, fish, and shrimp in the surrounding sea...
Under Luo Qiao’s philosophy of "teaching without discrimination," they can all listen in to the various Dharma Gates here.
In fact, even some East Sea dragons and gods would secretly lurk in, listening carefully to Luo Qiao’s teachings.
After all, Luo Qiao received direct teachings from the Tao Ancestor; in this illiterate era, every divine power and spell he discusses are elusive for ordinary cultivators.
Not to mention that Luo Qiao is not merely repeating the cultivation method.
For every divine power and spell discussed, Luo Qiao would detail the nuances and precautions, striving to ensure this group of illiterates can successfully cultivate.
"He still hasn’t come to see the light!"
Unexpectedly, Divine Monarch Mengzhang appears on the outermost Penglai Island of the archipelago.
In a sense, this area can no longer be considered Longbo Kingdom territory, but part of the [Heaven and Earth Net Grand Array].
Including this island, there are no less than three similar islands.
They’re respectively called Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, collectively known externally as the "Three Immortal Islands."
Of course, this isn’t because there are only these three islands nearby, but because apart from Longbo Kingdom, only these three islands have owners.
Reportedly, the owners of these three islands have all passed Luo Qiao’s test, just one step away from officially becoming his last disciples.
Why not directly accept them as disciples?
Simply because Luo Qiao feels he’s not yet qualified to start a sect and take on disciples.
"Enlightenment?"
"Since when do you understand this?"
In the serene pool, a white dragon emerges leisurely from the water.
The white dragon, no more than three zhang in length, is agile like a snake, nimble like a mountain cat.
As ripples spread from the pool, subtle heat rises in tandem.
"Of course, I don’t understand this, but I have eyes."
Similarly transforming into a three zhang cyan dragon, Divine Monarch Mengzhang dives down, gazing at the white dragon by the pool.
"The East Sea Dragon Race is enlightening all dragon offspring..."
"Over in the Xia Federation, Fu Kui has already implemented mandatory education nationwide..."
"Not to mention your main form in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the first place to achieve universal cultivation where everyone is like a dragon."
"So, if you wish to widely spread Taoist skills, first enlighten the subjects under your rule, that’s the right path."
"At the very least, only by recognizing words can they continue their journey on their own without a teacher."
As Divine Monarch Mengzhang speaks, the identity of the white dragon becomes apparent.
He is the Eastern Monarch, also known as the Eastern Prince, a manifestation created by Li Boyang to aid Xiluo in her pathfinding.
Since Xiluo’s enlightenment, the Eastern Monarch has been roaming far and wide, until recently settling on Penglai Island.
From Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s perspective, it’s hard to say whether the Eastern Monarch chose to settle on Penglai Island to look after the yet-to-grow Luo Qiao.
In any case, facts show that the Eastern Monarch has indeed repelled many hidden observers for Luo Qiao.
Among them are pathfinders from across the times.
They deeply understand the terror of the Tongtian Sect Leader and naturally do not wish to see him grow smoothly.
"Now, Luo Qiao’s actions are akin to these drifting islands."
"Without solid foundation, no matter how vast the quantity of these islands, they will ultimately be carried by currents."
Li Boyang naturally knows Divine Monarch Mengzhang speaks the truth.
Even if Luo Qiao breaks down the cultivation method and teaches it minutely, he’s merely building castles in the air for listeners.
Without foundation, even if these listeners embark on the cultivation path, they’ll only follow the norm, unable to deduce beyond.
Coincidentally, cultivation is inherently an act of self-reflection.
Though Lu Huaijin’s remark is blunt, it does uncover a truth.
Each person is unique, every being has its nature.
No one can exactly replicate another’s cultivation journey, even Li Boyang cannot.
"If Luo Qiao continues teaching like this, the future may give birth not to a group of seekers of the Tao..."
"But rather a large pack of ’beasts’ capable of using spells and divine powers, a group of ’demons’ without basic concepts and morals."
Saying this, Divine Monarch Mengzhang briefly pauses.
"Enlightenment teaches literacy, enlightening awakens..."
"You yourself have driven those gods into the dustbin of history, while your heir is creating a new group of ancient gods, isn’t this contradictory?"
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang doesn’t refute but nods and smiles.
"You’re right, I indeed dislike that brainless bunch fond of blood sacrifice."
"Yet, is the world so vast, life so abundant, can I guarantee my own eternal correctness?"
"Everything has its era limitations, and I never consider myself forever at the forefront of the era."
"Luo Qiao’s methods are mistaken, but his intentions and aspirations are good."
"Since I can now clean up after him, why not let him err a little?"
"Some paths, only by walking once can one truly gain insight."
Just like a true elder, Li Boyang’s tone is filled with anticipation.
"Besides, you see only a bunch of ’beasts’ capable of using spells and divine powers, but is this really the case?"
"The wonder of this world lies in the unpredictable development of things."
"Among this group of ’beasts’, there are unexpectedly good seedlings."
