I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1381: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao’s Rule Chapter 1381: Chapter 745: Rules: The Fruit of Dao’s Rule Qian Xing looks around fifteen or sixteen years old, with short white hair, a face still tinged with childlike innocence, dressed in ordinary shorts and a T-shirt, resembling a homebound internet-addicted teenager.

But facing him, the five Nascent Soul Superiors from the Immortal Gate who wield authority over their respective domains on Gathering-Immortals Peak, all wear expressions of respectful homage.

“Great Ancestor, this year is when the Immortal Gate undergoes its change of term.”

One of them, a tall and upright old cultivator clad in a wide silvery-white robe, responded.

He is the Head of Immortal Affairs, an elderly individual with the countenance of a child yet white hair, named Lin Daoming.

Among the six people present, he was the sole one whose appearance betrayed his age, with hands like withered branches, yet with a voice as clear and deep as a babbling brook.

Lin Daoming has governed over Immortal Gate for just eight sixty-year cycles.

From the beginning of his reign, he was determined to create a more prosperous Immortal Gate. Over the years, he diligently attended to state affairs, toiling day and night, keeping his mind clear, his insights sharp, and his decisions decisive–all by upholding the Guidance Book. He maintained control over every aspect of Immortal Gate.

Under his governance of nearly five centuries, social order was well organized. He also greatly developed fields such as agriculture, handicraft, and commerce, resulting in an unprecedented leap in the Immortal Gate’s economy, allowing the populace to live in peace and prosperity, with a rich quality of life.

Even the Four Great Daoist Sects and Ten Great Academies, under his leadership, lifted recruitment restrictions. With the support of Immortal Gate’s resources, these top-ranking academies cultivated a vast number of outstanding talents over the years.

Among them, he takes the greatest pride in Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, both possessing the Qualification of Deification.

After the passing away in meditation of both Qian Xing and Bai Guang, it is very likely that these two will be the next ones to achieve the deified state of Divinity Transformation.

Overall, Lin Daoming’s four hundred eighty years at the helm of Immortal Gate are widely acknowledged as a time of exceptional governance. Even when measured against all of Immortal Gate’s history, his tenure could be hailed as “A time of clear seas and tranquil rivers, with governance harmonious and the people content.”

If Lin Daoming were to retire in this manner, his great achievements would be eternally inscribed in the annals of Immortal Gate’s history, revered and extolled by future generations.

“Oh? Does this matter concern me?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Xing furrowed his brows slightly, his face filled with confusion.

The succession of the Three Great Halls in Immortal Gate, and the replacement of the Sect Master, might seem like earth-shaking events to the three billion beings of Immortal Gate, but for an ancestor who has achieved the Asura Dharma Aspect like Qian Xing, they are not so significant.

“Ancestor, may I now refine ‘Rules’?”

Lin Daoming hesitated before voicing his own thoughts.

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Xing, who initially had a somewhat lazy gaze, swiftly sharpened his look, focusing on Lin Daoming who was seated to his left. His eyes seemed to transform into cosmic starfields, twinkling with tiny, brilliant stardust.

This was the symbol of the ultimate realm of Guidance Book cultivation.

Within an inch, an unlimited galaxy!

Roughly half a quarter of an hour later, the resplendent starfield in Qian Xing’s eyes vanished, reverting to normal black pupils.

He shook his head and uttered a sentence that drove Lin Daoming to despair.

“You can’t refine it.”

Rules are an unconscious “Fruit of Dao’s Rule,” amassed over thousands of years from teaching billions of people on Di Yuan Star, an embodiment of the moral force ensuring orderly life with contentment, national tranquility, harmony between the young and the old, and distinction between the high and low.

Nascent Soul Complete cultivators with sufficiently strong willpower can refine this mass of Rules, thus achieving the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Out of the thirteen Huashen ancestors throughout Immortal Gate’s history, two attained Divinity Transformation through refining Rules.

After governing for four hundred eighty years, by the regulations of Immortal Gate, Lin Daoming could apply to refine “Rules” in an attempt at Divinity Transformation.

But Qian Xing, using the Guidance Book for his calculations, informed him that he could not refine “Rules.”

Failure to refine would result in cultivators completely losing their self-consciousness, becoming a part of the Rules.

In over six thousand years of Immortal Gate’s history, there have been at least twenty attempts from the Three Great Halls’ Masters.

However, only two succeeded.

One can imagine just how difficult it was.

Lin Daoming had asked the same question thrice. Except for the last time when Qian Xing predicted a 1.37% chance of success, all other times, he was simply met with a shaking head, not a glimmer of possibility.

“Thank you for your efforts, venerable Ancestor!”

Lin Daoming sighed deeply, expressing his gratitude to Qian Xing, who waved his hand dismissively.

“Now that everyone is here, just give me a summary of recent affairs in Immortal Gate, so I can catch up and not become a relic of a bygone era.”

Qian Xing summoned a chair from the void, seated himself upon it, and then inquired to the gathering of the Heaven-Repairing Lineage.

“The Immortal Gate succession is due at the end of this year. Elder Lin Daoming is set to retire officially. I will rise from Righteous Law Hall Master to take the position of Head of Immortal Affairs, with Righteous Law Hall changing hands to Narcissus, with Kaiyuan Hall Master remaining unchanged…”

After Lin Daoming finished speaking about his own affairs, it was Ying Guanghua’s turn, the Righteous Law Hall Master. He briefly talked about the changes in positions in the upcoming Immortal Gate succession meeting.

Actually, it’s mainly about the exchange of interests between the four big factions. As long as they, the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, who have been at the helm of Immortal Gate for such a long time, could balance the interests properly, they could smoothly transition through the succession.

“Mhm, proceed as you all have discussed.”

After listening, Qian Xing expressed no objections. He was not keen on managing state affairs. If it weren’t for the need to procure Foundation Establishment Resources from the Three Great Halls, he wouldn’t have even bothered to take the civil service exams.

Following the Head of Righteous Law, Elder Yuanxu was next.

He merely briefed on the two matters currently under his responsibility.

The two great Secret Techniques: “Asura Dharma Aspect” and “Blooming Moment!”
