Chapter 834: National High-Level Martial Arts! (5)

Editor: Henyee Translations

“If the world contains spirit, all things will be born. Cultivators can borrow the spirit of the world to walk the foundation of all things.”

In the various schools, there was always the sound of reading. All the students were reading and reciting what Dao Ancestor Su Yun had once said in the textbook.

“The Dao Ancestor said: If you cultivate your true heart and sink to the ground a little, you will meet a true master. Fools are not allowed to know about wonderful techniques. As long as everyone comprehends it on their own, there’s no need to shake their tendons and marrows. There’s also no trickery to fight!”

“The Dao Ancestor said: I hope that everyone will leave the secular world and become true. I hope that all living beings will ascend to the Immortal Palace.”

“The Dao Ancestor said: All of you are silent. The four seas listen to the truth! Where the Dao comes from, there is a bright universe. The world is dark. Only I can talk about Dao. Besides the preaching, everyone can become the dragon!”

Almost every classroom saw a teacher standing on the podium to interpret Su Yun’s words in detail. He led all the children to understand the meaning of cultivation. During spare time, he could always see the students’ new broadcast gymnastics on the field. This broadcast gymnastics was jointly compiled by the pioneers of the cultivation world.

Among them were some basic martial arts moves, but they also contained some restrained qi and blood to temper the muscles and bones. Other related concepts about cultivation were also derived.

For example, one’s heart, karma, and retribution.

After the popularization of textbooks, examinations for related subjects increased immediately to ensure that the new generation of children would have access to the concept of cultivation from an early age, not only through fabricated novels or other literary subjects.

Great Xia had already embarked on the path of innovation in the new era. The goal of this reform was cultivation. This reform was so strong that it lasted for a few months before it was completely popularized in various cities.

A new educational philosophy and a new examination system are gradually taking shape thereafter. It was another warm spring season. Everything was renewed, and China had entered a new era.

The Capital TV Station had even specially created a program for more than a hundred cultivators. Every episode, they would invite a cultivator who had followed Su Yun into the Dao to share cultivation knowledge and their own cultivation experience.

“If you’re careful, you’ll be at ease. It’s not difficult to nourish your heart when you cultivate the path of self-cultivation. The difficulty of nourishing your heart is also in care. If he could be careful, he would not feel guilty. He could treat heaven and earth like ghosts and gods. There is no shame in guilt. The Heavenly Lord is calm. His heart is usually fast, broad, and peaceful. That is the beginning of cultivation.”

The concept of cultivation was already known by everyone. What puzzled many people was that it had been more than a year since Su Yun last appeared. They did not know what Su Yun had been doing in the past year. They were only curious as to why there had been no news of the Dao Ancestor since then. Could it be that he was cultivating in seclusion? When would the Dao Ancestor appear again to preach the Dao?

Occasionally, someone would mention the Dao Ancestor when they posted their discussion online. It was very likely that he was meditating in seclusion and comprehending cultivation methods.

This also made more people look forward to seeing if Su Yun would bring everyone to a higher realm when he appeared again.

…

Spring passed and autumn came. All living beings were recuperating. Another year passed in the blink of an eye. It had been a full two years since Su Yun’s sermon. Now, to everyone, other than the New Year and various traditional holidays, there was another important holiday. That was: October 28th of the lunar calendar.

The annual Daoist Canon Day became the day that the Great Xia citizens valued the most. On this day, all the work units took leave spontaneously. The cultural bureaus everywhere were holding cultural exchanges about cultivation.

However, the most lively place was Tianxian Mountain, the place where the Dao Ancestor achieved Dao.

More than a hundred pioneers of the cultivation world would rush to Tianxian Mountain from thousands of miles away today to pay respects to the Ancestral Court of Transcendence. They would offer incense to the ancient sages and kowtow to Dao Ancestor Su Yun.

Early in the morning on the day of the Daoist Canon, green smoke curled into the clouds in the Ancestral Court of Transcendence on Tianxian Mountain. Even at the bottom of the mountain, one could smell sandalwood and calming the heart.

Temples and Daoist temples everywhere were overcrowded. After two years of development, temples and Daoist temples everywhere renovated a hall called the Dao Ancestor Hall.

The statue of Su Yun was enshrined in the Dao Ancestor Hall. And when they came to the Daoist temple today, they would often line up outside the Dao Ancestor Hall to sincerely kowtow and praise the name of the Dao Ancestor.

In just a year, the concept of cultivation had already been deeply ingrained in people’s hearts and became something everyone in Great Xia pursued.

Therefore, this Daoist Canon Day almost became a big day for the entire country.

On this day, all the companies were on holiday. All the temples and Daoist temples opened their gates. Almost from morning to night, there were queues from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Some people could not even enter for a day to see the Dao Ancestor with their own eyes. There were even some who could only worship at the foot of the mountain.

This day was also the time when the various municipal bureaus were busy. A large number of police cars cleared the way. All the traffic police could only cancel all their leave on this day and come to maintain order.

The incense offerings on this day were even equivalent to a year for the various Daoist temples. And all of this was because a Dao Ancestor Hall had been built in their Daoist temple. Many people who came here did not believe in Buddhism. They did not believe in Buddhism and Dao, and only came to worship Su Yun.

In their opinion, the Dao Ancestor was clearly a more real existence than these Buddhist immortals.

The Dao Ancestor was beside them and led them into the Dao. Therefore, most people would only gather near the Dao Ancestor Hall. It was enough to show that Su Yun occupied an important position in their hearts.

This also represented the hope of the entire population.

“National martial arts!”

For example, recently, with the efforts of the martial arts circle and martial dao fanatics, it had been called the most resounding name. It was also the most popular term on the Internet. It was comparable to popular words like ‘everyone cultivates immortality’ and ‘everyone is like a dragon’.

On this Daoist Canon Day, everyone was looking forward to the future. They burned incense and prayed in the Ancestral Court of Transcendence and the Dao Ancestor Hall, hoping that the day of ‘Cultivation is popularized and the martial arts everyone’ would arrive as soon as possible.
