I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Daoist Chen’s gaze was immediately drawn to the Five Emperors Sword, unable to look away. Seeing Patriarch Chen take it out to use was different from the shock of watching an abstract video.

This defies common sense, which is why the Daoist of the Taoist Sect was so baffled and critical after seeing the video from Patriarch Chen.

But now, seeing the Five Emperors Sword in Patriarch Chen’s hands and him preparing a Feng Shui Array Formation, he couldn’t help but think more deeply.

”Daoist Chen.” Chen Han greeted Daoist Chen with a smile.

”Patriarch Chen.” Daoist Chen responded with a similarly beaming smile.

Seeing Patriarch Chen start directing the Chen Family members again, Daoist Chen couldn’t suppress his curiosity and secretly took out his phone to snap a photo of Patriarch Chen holding the Five Emperors Sword, sending it to the senior group chat of Wudang.

Daoist Qingwei was naturally busy today preparing for the Wudang Taoist Skill exchange meeting, under the guise of a legitimate reason for the association’s record.

After all, the association’s secretary general would review it, so an official explanation was necessary. Otherwise, if you say it’s a Thunderfire Refining Golden Peak Feng Shui Array Formation discussion meeting,

you never know if the review might cause unnecessary trouble. Perhaps then those experts’ apprentices will want to give guidance.

Even if they disagree, the experts might exploit official connections.

Anyway, once they come, it’s trouble.

After contacting the association, Daoist Qingwei returned to studying the Wudang geographical map when he saw other junior brothers coming to him, puzzled, he asked, ”Why are you all here?”

A Daoist reminded him: ”Sect Leader, see the photo and information junior brother sent in the group chat.”

Daoist Qingwei took out his phone and saw the photo of Patriarch Chen holding the Five Emperors Sword, and was immediately captivated.

He had seen the video before; initially, the red line didn’t concern him, but when he saw that the red line was woven into modern coins, he became unsettled.

It contradicted previous knowledge.

So, like others, he assumed it was an abstract video, as that Patriarch Chen was known for making such videos.

Now seeing Patriarch Chen using the Five Emperors Sword and Junior Brother Chen mentioning they might use it for a Feng Shui Array Formation, forced him to ponder deeply.

”Sect Leader, do you think Patriarch Chen using such a Five Emperors Sword might really mean something special?” a Daoist couldn’t help but ask.

Daoist Qingwei nodded: ”Let’s look through some books about the Five Emperors Sword and study them.”

The other Daoists all found this very sensible.

In their Taoist Sect, that Patriarch Chen is considered an authoritative figure, especially in Feng Shui. Now, the entire Taoist Sect is studying the two Feng Shui books he wrote.

Some Daoists even invited geography and meteorology college students to help them for a deeper understanding.

Therefore, whatever Daoist Chen does, they naturally need to first investigate.

There are many descriptions of the Five Emperors Coins in the Taoist Sect, with different books offering different interpretations.

For instance, some mention elemental attributes, some mention emperor’s authority, and some mention popularity.

Both sides have their points.

However, it’s widely accepted that the Five Emperors Sword can ward off evil spirits, so many people in the Taoist Sect historically would make a Five Emperors Sword.

Qingwei, contemplating and in coordination with Daoist Chen’s actions, suddenly furrowed his brow, pondering slightly.

Considering the elemental attribute theory, the red line and copper coins belong to the Microfire Alchemy structure, what about the red line and modern coins?

Aren’t modern coins metal?

Aren’t they also Microfire Alchemy?

The popularity theory of the Five Emperors Coins refers to the times when emperors ruled, the population was high, and so the currency circulated widely, absorbing a lot of ’popularity.’

But considering, even in ancient times, the population wasn’t more than 400 million.

What about now, 1.4 billion.

In this, popularity surely triumphs.

As Daoist Qingwei considered this, his thoughts grew clearer regarding the emperor’s authority theory?

It says that ancient emperors were regarded as the Son of Heaven, possessing supreme power, that their authority could suppress evil forces, and the Five Emperors Coins, as the currency during the emperor’s reign, carried this authority.

This theory seems ingrained with sycophancy.

Also quite normal, as many ancient authors wrote to flatter, especially those in power.

Throughout the long history of the Taoist Sect, many served emperors, and there were numerous high-ranking Taoist figures who served alongside them.

Before, there was reluctance; now, Daoist Qingwei felt that the Son of Heaven title seemed incorrect, perhaps it didn’t exist at the start.

Thus, the lost Taoist classics, along with intentional errors, also stem from these sycophantic Taoist figures.

No matter the composition, sycophantic writings always have biases, let alone the content within.

Understanding this, Daoist Qingwei realized the emperor’s authority likely refers to something else, perhaps related to the emperor, possibly involved in...

destiny, the destiny of the dynasty!

”That’s it...” Daoist Qingwei seemed to have an epiphany, exclaiming excitedly.

It’s said in ancient times, the Imperial City was impervious to evil. The Imperial City is the nation’s central point, the strongest in destiny.

If this is true, modern coins far exceed any time in ancient history; Huaxia’s modern destiny is unparalleled.

”Sect Leader, what have you discovered?” a Daoist instinctively asked.

Daoist Qingwei elaborated: ”The main composition of the Five Emperors Sword should involve combining popularity and destiny.”

”As for popularity, modern coins are definitely the highest, and about destiny, do I even need to say it? The strongest in history.”

”So, the Five Emperors Sword crafted by Patriarch Chen may not be abstract, but rather a stronger version than we know, given there are four other coins, perhaps it should be called the Five...”
