Chapter 716: Public Lectures 30 Years Later
“The first matter is that we want to leave some things for you,” said Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, as they each took out several storage rings and placed them on the main table in the council hall.
“These items have been specially prepared by my wife and me for the family over the years and can serve as the foundation for the family’s future.
You may distribute them as needed and according to the actual situation.
We won’t say more on this.
Secondly, after we leave, the family will need to selectively retract its forces and the resources it occupies, at least until a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord is born among you.
Even though for a period of time, even if you do nothing or change anything, other sects and families might not act against you, out of respect for my wife and me.
They might even extend some care towards you.
But you must understand, the depth of favor, no matter how profound, has its limits.
I hope you can be aware of your own capabilities and consume only as much as you can handle, without exhausting those favors on things that are bound to not last long.
Focus on strengthening yourselves, as the strength of the family itself is the key to ensuring its enduring prosperity.”
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan paused for a moment before continuing,
“Lastly, in the name of my wife and me, we will send a message to the entire Nine Essences cultivation world.
Thirty years from now, we will hold a three-year-long series of lectures at Mount Mystic Tai.
At that time, anyone who is willing can enter our Mount Mystic Tai to listen to the lectures.
You must take this task seriously, understood?”
“Yes!”
Everyone present responded, bowing to accept the command.
After some time,
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan asked Jiang Anran, Jiang Yuncheng, Huang Wenyu, and Huang Ling’er to stay.
These four individuals were considered by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as the most likely to achieve Soul Formation in the future.
Huang Wenyu, with his great fortune, especially after his gains in the Mystic Night Secret Realm, was almost guaranteed to break through to Soul Formation.
Huang Ling’er, although previously unremarkable in talent, had shown rapid progress in cultivation since she began teaching, indicating extraordinary talent in this area.
The likelihood of her breaking through to Soul Formation was also very high.
As for Jiang Anran and Jiang Yuncheng, the former, being their only direct disciple, had been provided with many resources suitable for her.
As long as she did not slack off, achieving Soul Formation should not be a problem.
As for Jiang Yuncheng…
The couple had to admit that this child’s dedication to cultivation could be considered the strongest in the entire Jiang family.
Already at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, as long as he could maintain his initial dedication to the Dao, the Soul Formation was within his reach.
Beyond these four, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had not identified anyone else in the Jiang family with the potential to break through to Soul Formation at the moment.
Even reaching the Nascent Soul was uncertain for many of the older family members who had been following them from the start.
If not for the Longevity Peach Tree the couple had brought back, those individuals might have already exhausted their lifespans and passed away.
However, no matter what, since they were fated to walk this path together, the couple naturally left a trace of hope for those people.
As for whether they could grasp that hope in the end and use it well, everything depended on themselves.
There’s only so much the couple could do to help, and they’ve done what they could.
After Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had arranged everything, they returned to their own mountain peak cave abodes.
A few months later.
The news about Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan holding a public lecture at Mount Mystic Tai in thirty years had spread throughout the entire Nine Essences cultivation world.
The entire cultivation world was abuzz with excitement.
These two are recognized as the strongest individuals in the current era of the Nine Essences cultivation world.
It’s said their cultivation has reached the late stage of the Soul Formation.
Moreover, they had once reversed the most dangerous demonic calamity with their own power and later replenished the world’s Origin, even repairing the Ascension Platform for the cultivation world, giving all cultivators with hopes of ascension a chance.
Their merits are truly immeasurable.
At this moment.
At a small gathering, Su Qingchan, Sword Lord Azure Blue, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, and Shui Xianlan, all peak Nascent Soul cultivators, were discussing the upcoming lectures by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that would last for three years.
At this moment, Su Qingchan said,
“I’ve been at the peak of Nascent Soul for a long time without finding the opportunity to break through.
I hope that this lecture by Senior Jiang and Senior Shen can provide me with some insights.
If it can help me open the door to Soul Formation, it would be more than I could ask for.”
Hearing Su Qingchan, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, Sword Lord Azure Blue, and Shui Xianlan all deeply agreed.
They were contemporaries who were once the focus of countless praises and seen as goals or even role models by many.
Indeed, they had not been disappointing and had achieved goals that many could never reach in their lifetimes, reaching the peak of Nascent Soul.
Yet, at this stage, they had been stuck for a thousand years, still unclear on how to advance to Soul Formation.
If nothing changed, they would probably stop at the peak of the Nascent Soul for the rest of their lives.
However, now that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the two recognized strongest Soul Formation Great Heavenly Lords, were going to hold public lectures at Mount Mystic Tai, Su Qingchan and the others see a glimmer of hope.
If they could gain some understanding from the lectures that showed them a way forward, it would be the best outcome.
They were willing to do anything, as long as it did not go against their principles, for this opportunity.
At the same time.
Cultivators from all over the Nine Essences cultivation world, whether from the Northern Border, the Western Desert, the Central Plain, the Southern Wilderness, or the Eastern End, were all heading towards a common destination: the Jiang family’s Mount Mystic Tai in the state of Jiang, Northern Border.
This place had been deemed a sacred site for lectures.
