“Alright, don’t overthink it. Things like this aren’t easy to come across. Besides, I’ve heard that those Cultivators have been doing something very secretive for the past few centuries, and their whereabouts are even more elusive. If you want to run into them, it’s incredibly difficult.”
The old fox said, then turned and continued walking into the distance, “Let’s go. Grandma’s birthday is approaching. We still need to invite some spirits to attend Grandma’s birthday. I heard a Little Panda recently Cultivated in the Great Marsh. Let’s invite this little fellow.”
“Speaking of which, I don’t know how this little fellow Cultivates. I heard he’s very young but has already gained sentience, and his Dao cultivation doesn’t seem particularly low. He truly has profound good fortune.”
As he spoke, the old fox kept clicking his tongue in wonder.
The little fox behind him quickly followed, and hearing this, he couldn’t help but perk up. He had also heard of this Little Panda.
“Is it possible that this Little Panda received guidance from a Cultivator, which is why his Cultivation is so fast and he gained sentience at such a young age?”
The little fox asked, trailing behind.
The old fox walking ahead heard this, but helplessly turned to look at him, then shook his head, “You, what are you thinking? We just talked about Cultivators, and you immediately attribute everything to them.”
“If that Little Panda truly received guidance from a Cultivator, he should be Cultivating by the Cultivator’s side right now, instead of Cultivating on his own like this.”
The little fox thought about what the old fox said and felt it made sense.
Yes, if that were the case, the Little Panda should be Cultivating by the Cultivator’s side, instead of still Cultivating alone, bewildered.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but secretly smile, then quickly followed… The celestial phenomenon lasted for more than half a day before gradually dissipating. Inside Qiyun Temple, He Xiuyuan also let out a heavy sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He Xiuyuan had initially thought it had failed, but at the very last moment, a strange emotion welled up in his heart, followed by the recitation of the Duren Sutra.
And He Xiuyuan didn’t recite the Duren Sutra randomly.
Earlier, he had heard Yun Xuzi say that for a sacrifice to succeed, the offerings, the sacrificial text, and the person presiding over it were all crucial.
Regarding offerings, He Xiuyuan didn’t have anything valuable to present. After much thought, only the sacrificial text remained as an option.
He was initially worried whether it would work, but fortunately, it did not disappoint He Xiuyuan.
Thinking of this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on He Xiuyuan’s lips.
“We Disciples of Qiyun Temple thank Senior He!”
Just as He Xiuyuan turned around, Songfeng and the others all bowed to He Xiuyuan, speaking respectfully. Their faces, besides the joy they had shown earlier, were now filled with intense surprise.
They had originally seen the sacrifice fail and had given up all hope, especially since Senior Brother Songfeng had personally told them earlier that there was a high probability of this sacrifice failing, so they hadn't thought much of it.
Seeing the failure, their hearts had already accepted it.
But they never expected that, with such a dramatic turn of events, He Xiuyuan actually succeeded!
Especially the Duren Sutra recited by He Xiuyuan, which made them feel as if their minds had been enlightened. They vaguely felt that many things they didn't understand during their previous Cultivation were now clear to them.
That sacrificial text could actually achieve such a feat, no wonder it succeeded.
It’s just a pity that such sacrificial texts can only be used once. Otherwise, if this sacrificial text could be kept and reused repeatedly, that would be wonderful.
Everyone felt a bit of regret at this thought.
“You are too kind.”
He Xiuyuan turned around and saw everyone thanking him, even calling him Senior. He Xiuyuan was immediately a bit exasperated and quickly tried to reassure them.
“Let’s just call each other Fellow Daoist; there’s no need to call me Senior.”
Daoist Songfeng heard this and quickly bowed, “If it weren’t for Senior He’s sacrificial text, how could this sacrificial ceremony have succeeded? For Senior to be able to write such a sacrificial text at such a critical moment is enough to prove the height of Senior’s Dao cultivation.”
“It is only right for us to address you as Senior.”
The sacrificial text He Xiuyuan had just recited, rather than a sacrificial text, should actually be called a Dao classic.
Such a Dao classic, he had never heard of before, and now that he had heard it, it made his heart incredibly excited.
It was only natural to address He Xiuyuan as Senior now.
And the other Disciples in the temple, hearing Senior Brother Songfeng’s words, also showed no hesitation, nodding in agreement one by one.
“If it weren’t for Senior He, this sacrifice would certainly have failed today. For such great kindness, calling you Senior is not an exaggeration, not to mention that Senior’s Dao cultivation is far above ours.”
Seeing everyone like this, He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter. He turned to feel the surrounding Spiritual Qi, a look of surprise on his face.
After this sacrifice, it could actually cause such changes in the heavens and earth. This was quite unexpected for He Xiuyuan.
Looking at it this way, it’s no wonder Qiyun Temple valued this sacrifice so much.
After careful observation, He Xiuyuan vaguely felt that the Spiritual Qi here now seemed to be a bit denser than that of Biluo Temple.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration, “I never expected such changes after this sacrifice. It is truly extraordinary.”
“If that’s the case, will Qiyun Temple be able to become a Cultivation immortal land from now on?”
He Xiuyuan looked around, his face full of admiration, and asked.
Daoist Songfeng heard this and gave a wry smile, “That’s naturally impossible. This situation can only last for a few years to about ten years. After that, it will slowly dissipate.”
“However, even though it’s only for a few years, it’s already enough.”
Daoist Songfeng was beaming at this moment. For them, these few years were completely sufficient.
Although they weren’t entirely sure how many years it would last, for them, even if it couldn’t be maintained for ten years, it was enough.
After all, it had been an unknown amount of time since the sacrificial ceremony had succeeded.
At least in their memory, they hadn't heard of any recent successes.
He Xiuyuan suddenly understood upon hearing this. If that were the case, it seemed that this sacrificial ceremony and the Seven Stars Grand Formation were somewhat on par.
