I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Sure enough, he saw Patriarch Chen wearing a Daoist robe and holding a wooden sword, dressed formally, and also saw a 2-meter high stone stele.

It seemed he guessed correctly, there was indeed some sort of ceremony.

Xu Bin curiously asked, ”Cousin, is that Patriarch Chen setting up some kind of stele?”

Ming Di nodded, ”Not only that, I have a feeling that the erection of this stele by Patriarch Chen might not be simple, perhaps something will happen!”

”Is it that magical?” Xu Bin looked shocked.

Even if the Chen Family is remarkable, and this Patriarch Chen possesses true martial arts, it’s just a stone stele.

However, thinking of the true martial arts of Patriarch Chen, he really wanted to consult with him, as he had practiced combat during his time in the military and participated in military combat competitions.

Although he didn’t win any awards, he was an enthusiast, so he planned to find a time to consult with Patriarch Chen to see if their modern military combat was superior, or if the Chen Family’s martial arts were better.

Ming Di widened his eyes at his cousin.

In his heart, he thought, ”Damn.”

”Cousin is this fierce?”

Chen Han didn’t pay attention to the tourists gathering around; it was natural for their commotion to attract attention.

Once the time came, he began the ceremony, performing the Star-Treading Steps.

The Taoist Sect’s Star-Treading Steps, also known as Star-Treading Dipper, is a step used for worshipping stars and summoning deities, and is one of the basic skills that a Daoist Mage must master.

”Gang” is also known as ”Heavenly Gang,” referring to the handle of the Big Dipper.

”Dipper” refers to the Big Dipper.

Star-Treading Dipper involves stepping according to the position of stars and constellations, based on the diagram of Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, carrying the intent of moving with the dipper.

Moreover, this Star-Treading Dipper is regarded as a step that can communicate with deities, summon gods, exorcise evil, avert disasters, pray for blessings and longevity, erect steles, and more. It is used in many rituals.

The basic steps are:

Wield the sword in coordination with the steps, raise the left foot forward, bring the right foot over the left, bring the left to the right.

Then raise the right foot, bring the left over the right, bring the right to the left, then raise the right, bring the right over the left, and bring the left to the right.

Thus, taking three steps, completing a length of two zhang and one chi, with nine traces behind, forming a Ding character nine steps.

Chen Han had practiced these steps the night before, and with his skills, he executed the steps gracefully, freely, and with great aesthetics.

The surrounding tourists seeing this scene all took out their phones to record him.

Those from farther away couldn’t help but discuss softly:

”The aesthetics of Patriarch Chen’s ceremonial steps are really strong, no wonder he possesses true martial arts!”

”Yes, before at the White Cloud Temple, I also saw the Observatory Master stepping the gang when erecting a stele, and there is simply no comparison.”

”...”

Chen Han continued with the Star-Treading Steps, and when he reached the Ding character nine steps, he shouted, ”Stele, rise!”

As he spoke, Chen Dagou immediately led the Demon Suppression Hall folks to set up the stele, placing it into the pre-dug base pit, then began to fill it with soil.

Chen Han stopped, and shortly after, Chen Dagou had also erected the stele. The people of the Chen Family placed items such as True Martial Evil-removal Coins, cinnabar, and Five Grains in front of the stele, symbolizing good fortune.

At the same time, aunts nearby had already lit a set of incense sticks, distributing them to those around, three sticks each, and placed them at their foreheads as the aunt recited the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Blessing Spell. Holding the incense, they bowed toward the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, then bowed to the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother.

After completing all this, it was time for the final step: the red hanging.

Chen Han directly accepted the red silk embroidered with runes handed over by the aunt and walked towards the stele, hanging the red silk on it. During this process, he activated his True Qi, channeling it into the stele.

In that instant, he felt the Dust-removal Array rune on the stele become activated, and he clearly sensed an energy wave rushing into the ground, then it returned to normal.

He distinctly sensed a difference in the surrounding environment, but such a subtle movement wasn’t felt by the surrounding tourists who weren’t cultivated, and they seemed oblivious to any anomaly.

[Congratulations, you have successfully erected the Dust-removal Array Stele gifted by the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Dust-removal Array activated, will start continuously modifying the air in the Sect’s Base range!]

Seeing this game prompt, Chen Han understood that the air purification +1 attribute was not instant but would take time to slowly modify and take effect.

To have a clear change, wouldn’t it take at least a night’s modification?

After seeing the game prompt, Chen Han ended the ceremony calmly, then led his people back to the Chen Family.

Xu Bin and Ming Di, having watched the whole time, saw this and asked, puzzled, ”Cousin, nothing happened, it’s still the same!”

Ming Di too looked puzzled, it seemed to be just a simple stele erection, could he have overthought it?

Chu Ping and Chen Kai kept their distance due to taboos but quickly received the news because someone had already uploaded the video online.

However, after watching the video, both felt disappointed; after Patriarch Chen erected the stele, nothing happened, and there was no change.

They even went to the stele area for a closer look; the stele appeared ordinary, and the surroundings were silent, with truly no peculiarities.

”It seems this time we really have to believe in science,” Chu Ping sighed, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

Chen Kai nodded in agreement, ”Yes, we overthought this stone stele, it seems Patriarch Chen must be laughing at us.”
