Chapter 1364: Teaching the Dao on the Celestial Platform

Qin Sang sat high upon the celestial platform.

The disciples put away the Beast King Banners and quietly stood in attendance on both sides.

The grand ceremony was nearing its end. Yet the anticipation on the faces of the cultivators below the mountain only grew stronger.

According to convention, the grandmaster who founded a sect would teach the Dao on the day of the grand ceremony as a return gift. Unfortunately, such opportunities were rare.

Those qualified and capable enough to found a sect, and who dared to hold a grand ceremony and invite guests from all sides, could be counted on one hand.

For rogue cultivators, being able to personally hear a Golden Core master teach the Dao was already an opportunity others would envy.

Even sect disciples rarely had the chance to encounter a Spiritual Infant grandmaster teach.

Qin Sang no longer had the sharp, fully exposed sword will from before. His aura was restrained, and he seemed like an ordinary person.

He gave a slight nod and began to speak. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears, even those cultivators standing at the outermost edge below the mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, you have all come from afar to attend the ceremony. Thank you. I have nothing with which to repay you, only a few humble insights from my cultivation to discuss with everyone."

When he spoke the final sentence, Qin Sang’s gaze fell upon the Spiritual Infant cultivators on the celestial platform.

As soon as these words came out, the countless cultivators below the mountain all turned solemn and sat upright in proper order.

In an instant, the vast Qingyang Temple fell completely silent. There was only the sound of a gentle breeze drifting past.

On the celestial platform, the Spiritual Infant cultivators also sat upright, treating Qin Sang’s words with great seriousness.

But to their surprise, Qin Sang actually began with the Qi Refining Realm. Fortunately, the Spiritual Infant cultivators did not grow impatient. They listened patiently and waited for what would come later.

The cultivators below the mountain, especially the rogue cultivators, were overjoyed. None of them had expected the temple master of Qingyang Temple to be this generous.

Qin Sang’s teaching was concise and to the point. He gave only the essentials, and how much one could comprehend depended entirely on the listener’s talent.

Qin Sang soon finished the content related to the Qi Refining Realm and began speaking about the Foundation Building Realm.

In truth, Qin Sang did not have any profound understanding of the Foundation Building Realm. He had relied on the spiritual herb bestowed by Dongyang Bo to forcefully raise himself to that level.

But with his current realm, looking back at the Foundation Building Realm was effortless, and he could still offer unique insights.

The Golden Core Realm was different. In the immortal cultivation world, it would probably be difficult to find anyone whose Core Formation process had been more tortuous and more unforgettable than his.

The Golden Core Realm secretly accorded with the Dao of yin-yang. For those who understood it, it was not difficult. For those who did not, it was impossible. Without someone pointing it out, they might not understand even until death.

Those who gained some comprehension finally realized what kind of opportunity they had encountered today. Overjoyed and filled with gratitude, they paid no attention to the gazes around them and kowtowed toward the vague figure on the celestial platform.

As Qin Sang continued teaching, more and more people knelt on the ground.

Li Yufu and the others, who were attending on both sides of the celestial platform, stared closely at the foot of the mountain, paying particular attention to the rogue cultivators as they busily recorded something.

The Dao could not be lightly passed on. After the Golden Core Realm, Qin Sang spoke only very briefly.

However, Qin Sang had spent almost his entire Golden Core Realm in Canglang Sea, and Canglang Sea’s inheritances differed somewhat from those of Beichen Realm. Because of this, some of the content was very novel to the cultivators of Beichen Realm.

This was especially true because Qin Sang had also absorbed part of the demon race’s and witch race’s inheritances.

Some perspectives were things even Spiritual Infant cultivators and Transformation Realm great demons had never considered.

The Spiritual Infant cultivators listened with full attention. They were not merely giving Qin Sang face. They were truly listening carefully and thinking deeply.

Si Di and Yaojing secretly exchanged a glance, both extremely surprised, because even they had received some inspiration.

Beichen Realm does not have any similar inheritance. Could Qin Sang have obtained it from some ancient hidden realm? If Qin Sang comprehended all of this out of thin air, then this man is truly a peerless genius!

Qin Sang naturally would not explain anything. They could make whatever guesses they liked.

Gradually, subtle changes appeared in the expressions of the Spiritual Infant cultivators. Some were deep in thought, while others frowned.

Because Qin Sang always stopped just short of the full explanation. It was as though there was a door that could be pushed open with only a little effort, and behind that door clearly lay a broader and more enchanting world. They did not know whether Qin Sang himself had failed to fully comprehend it, or whether he was deliberately keeping them in suspense, leaving their hearts itching with curiosity.

As for the Golden Core cultivators below the mountain, they were even worse. One by one, they scratched their heads and ears, their expressions anxious as they looked around, trying to find others on the same path to exchange insights with.

But they could not criticize Qin Sang for it. More specific content would certainly belong to a sect’s true inheritance.

Qin Sang had already shown them that such a door existed, which was already extremely generous.

The Spiritual Infant cultivators suppressed their thoughts and looked at Qin Sang, who spoke with confidence and ease. Their expressions grew even more serious, because Qin Sang was about to speak of the Spiritual Infant Realm next. He would surely have unique insights!

Unexpectedly, when Qin Sang reached this point, he abruptly stopped!

It had been less than a hundred years since he had formed his Spiritual Infant, and he himself had not fully understood this realm. He truly could not show off his meager knowledge before experts, especially when there was no shortage of middle-stage Spiritual Infant cultivators on the celestial platform.

But if he stopped teaching now with only that shallow content, it would certainly make him a laughingstock.

Qin Sang simply chose to conceal his weakness. He changed the topic and began teaching the Sword Dao!

In the Sword Dao, Qin Sang had enough confidence! The Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment and the Qingzhu Sword Scripture were both profoundly mysterious.

Qin Sang decided to focus on the Qingzhu Sword Scripture.

The Qingzhu Sword Scripture had been created by Qingzhu based on the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment. Qin Sang often took it out to comprehend the true meaning of the sword scripture, and it had greatly benefited his own cultivation as well.

Shangguan Lifeng had long known what Qin Sang would teach. He immediately transmitted his voice to the sword cultivator disciples, telling them to cast aside all distractions and listen closely.

After a brief moment of disappointment, when the Spiritual Infant cultivators heard such profound insights about the Sword Dao, they all showed interest.

As for the cultivators below the mountain, very few could understand it, but all of them worked hard to remember every word Qin Sang said.

Throughout the vast Qingyang Temple, only Qin Sang’s voice echoed. The sky was clear, the air was pure, and the gentle breeze was pleasant.

The immortal cultivators were immersed in the mysterious and ethereal Immortal Dao and Sword Dao, forgetting the passage of time.

Only when they heard the words "we will stop here" did they suddenly awaken. Even then, they were still intoxicated by the atmosphere from earlier and could not free themselves from it.

Qin Sang’s voice seemed to still linger beside their ears. Some people even discovered that their incomparably stubborn bottlenecks had actually loosened a little!

"Thank you, Temple Master Qin, for the grace of teaching the Dao!" someone shouted those words, though no one knew who.

Immediately, a vast stretch of cultivators below the mountain knelt down and shouted after him.

The sound surged like mountains collapsing and seas overturning, echoing through the peaks for a long time!

On the celestial platform, the Spiritual Infant cultivators rose and offered fist-and-palm salutes toward Qin Sang in thanks. They had also gained quite a bit today.

Qin Sang calmly accepted their gratitude and swept his sleeve. Then the clouds closed together, concealing the celestial platform. The grand ceremony had ended!

The cultivators below the mountain were still reluctant to leave, lingering for a long time. Li Yufu and the others hurried down the mountain and split up to act separately.

During Qin Sang’s teaching, those who could immediately attain sudden comprehension were certainly people of excellent talent. Sect disciples aside, the rogue cultivators among them were all outstanding individuals who could not be missed.

Qingyang Temple had just been established, and this was precisely when it needed to widely recruit disciples.

Of course, Qin Sang did not yet have the ability to teach all without discrimination and would not blindly accept disciples. He had long since established several standards.

Some people took their leave, while others stayed behind.

Qingyang Temple gradually returned to calm. The disciples inside the temple looked at one another, unable to hide the joy on their faces. In the end, they gazed with reverence at the sword-carved characters on the main peak. "Qingyang Temple."

Leaving aside the trivial matters below the mountain...

On the celestial platform, the Spiritual Infant cultivators used Qin Sang’s teaching as a starting point to discuss profound principles and the Dao.
