Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Chun also sat down on the third-tier stone platform, along with other Zhou Family Cultivators.

In front of him was the second-tier stone platform where Zhou Daoyi and Su Yuzhen were seated.

As all the invited Cultivators took their seats on the square, a golden column of light suddenly descended from the heavens, shining upon the platform in the center of the square.

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, a white-robed old man with the appearance of an ageless youth descended from the sky and instantly landed on the platform.

“Pay respects to the Tianjing Ancestor!”

It was not known which Tianjing Villa Cultivator shouted out the phrase, but following that, the seated Tianjing Villa Cultivators and many Loose Cultivators all clasped their hands before them, one hand pressing on the other, with their foreheads touching the back of their hands, performing the grand gesture of kowtow.

In contrast, Zhou Chun and other invited Cultivators merely bowed their heads and respectfully said, “Pay respects to the Tianjing True Person!”

“Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such courtesy, all of you may rise!”

An authoritative and profound voice arose from the platform, as if it contained a strange power that reached directly into hearts, rendering one unable to refuse.

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

“Thank you, True Person!”

The crowd thanked him and rose to their feet, their attitudes brimming with respect.

Then they saw the Tianjing True Person sitting cross-legged on the platform, slowly saying, “Today, I am opening a lecture here to discuss the Dao, adhering to ancient rituals and systems, teaching without distinction, regardless of the origins, backgrounds or Cultivation Levels of those who come here, as long as they are present, they may listen to the lecture!”

“The great Dao is boundless, and the laws are manifold. The Dao I speak of only represents my own views. Fellow Daoists, you may listen arbitrarily and should you have differing opinions, do not trouble or doubt yourselves; follow your heart and do as you will!”

Such a statement also surprised Zhou Chun.

He had not expected the Tianjing True Person, a mighty Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, to be so humble.

“No, this is not humility, it is a reverence for the great Dao!”

“Even a Nascent Soul Stage True Person is but a seeker on the path toward the Dao. Before truly attaining the Dao of eternal life, no one dares to claim that the path they tread is the definitive pathway to the heavens!”

Zhou Chun suddenly had an epiphany, instantly understanding the true meaning behind the Tianjing True Person’s words.

By then, the Tianjing True Person had already begun his lecture.

“The heavens and earth possess Spiritual Energy, humans are born with a Spiritual Root; only those with a Spiritual Root are capable of absorbing and refining Spiritual Energy to consolidate Mana, laying down the foundation of their Dao…”

Starting from the very beginning of a Cultivator’s cultivation journey, the Tianjing True Person slowly expressed his understanding of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Although Zhou Chun and other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators had already passed this stage, listening to a Nascent Soul Stage True Person expound upon it was still enlightening, and they discovered many details and points they had never noticed or understood before.

If they had realized these points at the beginning, their Cultivation speed during the Qi Refinement Realm could have been much faster.

This made them look forward even more to the Tianjing True Person’s lectures on the later stages—the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Phases.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun also attentively memorized the current content of the Tianjing True Person’s lecture, planning to later share it with those Zhou Family Cultivators who were unable to attend.

However, he was well aware that even if he remembered every word of the Tianjing True Person’s lecture, when it came time to share it with his family’s juniors, it would surely not be as effective as being present at the scene.

This was because when a Nascent Soul Stage True Person lectured, those in the audience would be led by him into a special state of mind.

In this state, Cultivators had a very clear understanding of their own situation and could easily verify whether the content being lectured was effective for them.

And Zhou Chun, as a mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, did not possess such ability!
