Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1134 - 497: The Jade Void Report, Yuanshi’s Changing Face

Chapter 1134: Chapter 497: The Jade Void Report, Yuanshi’s Changing Face

In front of Zheng Fa stands a grand palace.

The palace as a whole seems like a flawless piece of jade, with walls radiating gentle luminescence, making the interior brightly lit without the need for lamps.

Dozens of wooden desks are arranged in the hall, divided into left and right sides, with those on the left dressed in Daoist attire and those on the right in Buddhist garments, distinct and separate.

At the end of the wooden desks, six seats are placed side by side, with Nuwa and other great powers sitting on them.

It is clear that, aside from the Six Saints and himself, the people in this hall are elite disciples of the Buddhist and Daoist factions, engaging in lively conversation, seemingly in casual greetings and networking. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Even Nuwa and the others are whispering among themselves.

After all, with their status and power, there are very few in this world with whom they can interact as equals, almost all present in this hall.

The hall is very lively.

But this was just now; as soon as Zheng Fa entered, the entire hall seemed to be muted.

Everyone silently stared at Zheng Fa as he stepped into the hall.

If it were before, Zheng Fa might have felt somewhat uncomfortable, but thinking about the finger of Lady Nuwa just now, he felt a bit numb, as the silence and scrutiny weighed on him like a mountain.

"Greetings, Lady."

Lady Nuwa looked at him, chuckled lightly, and said, "That rude Peng Bird barged into Yuxu Palace, and I merely took action to reprimand it. What are you afraid of?"

Zheng Fa grinned, speaking frankly, "Even if Lady Nuwa is kind, any cultivator facing the Six Saints would inevitably feel anxious."

Tongtian laughed, "It’s because we’re making things lively."

Zheng Fa did not respond, merely agreeing silently.

It’s truly not him shirking responsibility; among this crowd, he’s had interactions with Lady Nuwa, though not familiar, he doesn’t fear her.

But the other five, he seldom meets, perhaps exchanging a few words at Purple Cloud Palace.

Tongtian Taoist suddenly said, "In that case, why not add some stakes?"

"Stakes?"

"Today, Lady Nuwa is testing this individual. Although we are merely observing, we can act as judges. If he fails the test, naturally nothing more will be said."

"If he passes, we might as well join in the fun and give him some benefits."

The other saints exchanged glances, thinking it interesting. Yuanshi Taoist nodded slightly, "Brother, your idea is good."

Zheng Fa was also delighted, thinking Tongtian was indeed a great person!

The disciples below, their gazes, changed from scrutiny to envy.

But Tongtian Taoist hadn’t finished speaking, "Just one thing, if all five of us offer benefits, he can only choose one."

No way, I was just complimenting you!

For a moment, the hall was silent, then Zhunti laughed, "Ah, so that’s the plan, Brother!"

Zheng Fa didn’t quite understand, and Supreme spoke again, "Is this to offer benefits or to seek an heir?"

Tongtian looked at Zheng Fa, "Whether to pass on teachings depends on him, and offering Magical Treasures or Cultivation Techniques are all possibilities, but he must choose one."

Zheng Fa understood, this means if he passes the test, he gets to voluntarily choose one as his tutor?

Yet he doesn’t think the Six Saints lack heirs:

The relationship between Supreme Dao and Supreme Taoist should be deeply connected.

Leiyin Temple with Jieyin Zhunti naturally goes without saying.

Even Yuanshi and Tongtian might exist within some scattered legacies, like Tianhe Venerable’s Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

But one must admit, each of their Daoist traditions is extraordinary, and inheriting one would indeed be a great opportunity.

The other four also gazed at Zheng Fa, Yuanshi shook his head, "Brother, you might be mistaken, this person performed excellently in Purple Cloud Palace, and if he can pass Nuwa’s test, he is indeed talented, aren’t we taking from sister..."

Lady Nuwa smiled and shook her head, "My path does not lie in passing down traditions, it matters not, I will not compete with my brothers."

Tongtian Taoist nodded, "Then it’s him choosing among us four."

Yuanshi Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly, "He selects us?"

"I just want to see whom he chooses!" Tongtian seemed to find it amusing, grinning.

Yuanshi looked at him, his expression speechless, "Are we, the dignified Three Pure Ones, going to be picked and chosen, what a disgrace."

Supreme Taoist thought for a moment, actually speaking up, "I see no harm."

Yuanshi sighed, "Since brother said so, count me in."

Zhunti glanced at Jieyin, looking at Zheng Fa, "I always thought this child was talented and had connections with our Western territory."

At that moment, except for Nuwa, the other five Saints all agreed.

Zheng Fa could see, aside from Zhunti’s sincerity, the other four probably just found it entertaining.

As for Tongtian who proposed the idea, he’s just here for fun!

He isn’t really offering Zheng Fa any benefits; he’s just curious whom he’d choose!

...

After speaking about the stakes, Nuwa again looked at Zheng Fa, her gaze slightly expectant, "Have you figured out how to answer my question?"

Zheng Fa cupped his hands, "I have my own answer, but I don’t dare say it will satisfy you."

"Speak your mind."

Zheng Fa waved his hand, a light screen appearing behind him, showing the paper he brought.

Tongtian read aloud the title, "’Species Design Based on the Propagation and Evolution of Daoist Skills’? This name is quite original."

The other five also showed interest, earnestly looking at the light screen.

Zheng Fa’s thoughts moved, the paper flipped a page, revealing the introduction, as he explained:

"Apart from the Great Wilderness, Innate Spirits like dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and phoenixes are nurtured, these spirits base themselves on lineage, ruling the four seas, governing nine heavens, and commanding the earth, with infinite divine skills."

"But the ’bloodline specialization’ characteristic of Innate Spirits causes them to have innate limitations in the propagation of Daoist Skills."
