My Master Knows It All

426: Chapter 168 State Preceptor_2 426: Chapter 168 State Preceptor_2 I…

Grand Preceptor, your studies must have been terribly poor before you transmigrated, but that’s not right, if your studies were that poor, how could you still remember “Some People”?

Could it be that the Grand Preceptor isn’t a transmigrator?

But the Grand Preceptor’s practices, where everything must be judged according to the law, advocating equality for all, including those persuasive words to the emperor, all seem to suggest he might be a transmigrator.

I’ve already started probing, I can’t just abandon this halfway.

If I consider him to be a poor student, couldn’t I still find a phrase known to all Chinese people?

In this world before me, there was…

A thought struck Cao Zhen, and, looking at the Grand Preceptor, he suddenly spoke out, “The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way.”

This phrase is definitely known to any adult Chinese person; he didn’t believe that the Grand Preceptor hadn’t heard it before.

The Grand Preceptor furrowed his brows tightly, pondering incessantly in his mind.

He was utterly confused by Cao Zhen; what exactly was Cao Zhen trying to convey?

He looked at Cao Zhen, opened his mouth, just about to inquire, when Cao Zhen’s voice reached his ears.

“The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way…”

The entire being of the Grand Preceptor froze in an instant, as though he had heard some shocking news, looking completely stunned, yet surges of mana flowed outwards from him.

Enlightenment?

Cao Zhen looked at the Grand Preceptor with a surprised face.

Just by saying this phrase, known to every person from Earth, had the Grand Preceptor achieved enlightenment?

The sentence, “The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way,” is known to every Chinese person.

However, probably very few truly understand its deepest meaning, after all, that was a supreme statement from Laozi himself.

Most likely, others understand only the superficial aspects, but the deeper Cold Breath, probably only the genuine cultivators, and even those of Great Ability, could comprehend.

All I intended was to use this sentence to test and see if the Grand Preceptor was a transmigrator.

Instead, he achieved enlightenment right away, what does this mean!

However, this at least proved one thing, that the Grand Preceptor isn’t a transmigrator, or at least he did not transmigrate from Earth, not from China!

Cao Zhen calmed his mind and looked towards the Grand Preceptor.

He had seen many achieve enlightenment, and even felt that in this world, probably nobody had witnessed more enlightenments than he had.

He didn’t know how many had achieved enlightenment because of him.

Among the enlightenments he had witnessed, some involved Sword Qi reaching across thousands of miles, others were filled with the dense aura of precious ink.

Each person’s enlightenment was different, but that was because everyone pursued diverse paths; overall, the state of enlightenments had certain similarities.

Yet at this moment, the Grand Preceptor’s enlightenment caused the surrounding air to tremble along with him, the frequency of the air’s tremors subtly in sync with the Grand Preceptor’s, making it seem as though the Grand Preceptor and his surroundings had merged into one.

Gradually, the heavens and earth around him began to tremble as well.

The Grand Preceptor had completely fused with the entire heaven and earth, with this world.

Heavenly Phenomenon!

In the sky, which had grown dark, the scattered light of stars no longer fell, but instead gathered together, focusing entirely upon the Grand Preceptor.

In the high Void, the crescent moon began to grow fuller, turning into a round full moon.

Around him, tall trees and wild grasses swayed gently, rising and falling with the Grand Preceptor’s breath.

In just a short while, the entire Capital City shuddered.

In the Immortal Reception House, the cultivators gathered there all looked up, gazing into the distance.

Above a certain part of the Capital City, a colossal pillar of light beamed down, and within that pillar, the silhouette of a person faintly emerged, as if standing atop the sun, moon, and stars, emanating an awe-inspiring presence.

Waves of Daoist energy radiated from this Xu Ying, spreading outwards in all directions.

“Grand Preceptor!”

“It’s the Grand Preceptor, he’s achieved enlightenment!”

“Such an aura, shaking the entire Void of the Capital City, a Heavenly Phenomenon…”

“How strong the Grand Preceptor was already, and yet he could still achieve enlightenment, has he realized some aspect of the Way?”

“The Grand Preceptor, resonating with heaven and earth!”

All the cultivators were shocked and amazed.

How exalted was the Grand Preceptor to resonate with heaven and earth upon enlightenment.

Gradually, as the resonance swept through, an elder among the onlookers suddenly closed his eyes.

Enlightenment!

He too had attained enlightenment, stimulated by the Grand Preceptor’s enlightenment and the resonance he felt with heaven and earth.

Following one person’s enlightenment, it didn’t take long for the second, the third…

in the Immortal Reception House, cultivators entered the state of enlightenment one after another.

In the blink of an eye, within the entire Immortal Reception House, all the cultivators achieved enlightenment!

Not just in the Immortal Reception House, at that moment, in the Capital City, all cultivators were drawn into enlightenment due to the Grand Preceptor’s enlightenment and his resonance with heaven and earth.

They sensed the Grand Preceptor’s Way and felt the resonance with heaven and earth.

Some people, after their moment of enlightenment, awakened quickly within a few breaths; for others, the duration of enlightenment was slightly longer.

Some individuals shone with brilliant golden light, some with far-reaching Sword Qi, some with overwhelming Cold Breath…

The duration and depth of everyone’s enlightenment varied greatly, but after awakening, all of them looked towards the place where the pillar of light had fallen.

At that time, waves of mana kept continuously surging out from the pillar of light, belonging to the Grand Preceptor.

“Many thanks to the Grand Preceptor for this gift.” In the Immortal Reception House, a young disciple bowed deeply toward the Xu Ying of the Grand Preceptor within the pillar of light.
