If the Literary Dao can truly enlighten the world, the combat power of its cultivators should reach a terrifying realm.
"In that case, I shall take my leave now."
"I still need to visit a few other Immortal Sects."
Shen Chongming stood up and cupped his hands.
Jin Sheng also stood up and saw him out of the courtyard.
Watching his figure depart, Jin Sheng’s gaze deepened, and he suddenly let out a chuckle.
"This boy is bolder than his father..."
"Fortune is elusive, but the Shen Family’s younger generation of talents is endless, truly enviable."
...
September 6th.
As Shen Chonghong’s wedding approached, Shen Chongming had visited all the Immortal Sects except the Suihuo Sect.
Without exception, each of the Immortal Sects either out of courtesy or didn’t see any conspiracy in Shen Family’s opening schools to educate the common people.
After a round of courteous visits by Shen Chongming, they all agreed to the matter.
Black Water Pond Manor, night fell.
As Shen Chongming walked in from outside the courtyard, he saw Shen Wenxing standing with hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for him.
"Ah Die."
Shen Chongming stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
Shen Wenxing turned around, his gaze assessing him for a mont before saying, "What have you been busy with these past few days, always not at ho."
Shen Chongming responded with a smile, "I visited the various Immortal Sects and delivered invitations."
"Is there anything else?" Shen Wenxing asked again.
Such a significant matter as opening schools, even if he hadn’t paid particular attention, he still received so news.
Before Shen Chongming returned, he had already spoken with Shen Chongxuan.
"Ah Die knows?"
Shen Chongming glanced at his father and spoke.
"Sigh..."
Shen Wenxing sighed with hands behind his back, pondered for a long ti, then spoke, "I know you have your own thoughts."
"However, so matters should not be recklessly advanced."
"Your grandfather and I have tread carefully over the years due to the thin foundation of the Shen Family."
"Sotis, one careless mistake can erase decades of effort in managing the family."
"I understand the intention behind your alliance with the Hundred Refinents Valley."
"But this matter of opening schools, if not handled well, could bring great trouble to the Shen Family..."
These words, he originally didn’t intend to say.
After all, Shen Chongming was no longer a child, always having his own ideas about managing the family affairs with courage and wisdom.
But thinking about how this matter might oppose the various Immortal Sects in the future, his heart was uneasy.
"Ah Die’s worry is excessive."
Shen Chongming responded with a gentle smile, "Let’s not talk about the rise of Literary Dao, which cannot produce results overnight."
"By then, Third Uncle might have already reached Fetal Breathing Perfection, possibly achieved Sword Immortal status."
"I surely won’t be at my current realm."
Shen Chongming exuded confidence.
Possessing a mutated Thunder Attribute Spirit Root, complete and congruent True Technique, and a strand of Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Qi.
Even if not reaching Golden Core, at least before achieving Fetal Breathing Perfection, his cultivation path is smooth.
"Moreover, what Chongxuan and I aim for is rely enhancing the Literary Dao and Literary Qi of Yangnao Land, not targeting the various Immortal Sects, what can they say?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing furrowed his brows, "You..."
"Father."
"You can’t just look at one side of things."
As Shen Wenxing was about to speak, he was interrupted, "Back then, Second Uncle’s battle at Hundred Beasts Mountain, all the Sects of Qishan witnessed."
"When Literary Dao rises, and the various Sects know it’s Second Uncle’s legacy, how do you think they will react?"
How will they react?
Shen Wenxing showed contemplation.
The Literary Dao differs from Body Cultivation and Immortal Dao cultivators.
Body cultivation also does not require Spirit Roots, but demands extensive resources and every breakthrough risks everything, potentially nullifying prior investnts.
Even Vajra Sect, known for Body Cultivation, exercises caution when selecting disciples.
Immortal Dao cultivators are even more demanding.
Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots are already rare, and adding Spirit Root quality, disciple’s character, cultivation resources, etc.
Training a disciple is a huge expense.
Compared to them, while the Literary Dao has its demands, it at least has one less requirent.
Literary Dao cultivators don’t need many cultivation resources.
This alone is enough to move the various Immortal Sects and Noble Families.
Spending a bit more ti, without many resources, can still train cultivators who will fight for their sects or families.
Such a benefit, how can they refuse?
In the cultivation realm, few sects like Qiyun Valley remain complacent, imrsed in ancestral glory.
After so thought, Shen Wenxing suddenly realized his son had a longer-term view than he did.
"Forget it, since you already have your own idea, I won’t say anymore."
Shen Wenxing spoke, then suddenly smiled and shook his head, "No wonder your grandfather, when passing Shen Family to , didn’t require to report everything to him."
"Thinking about it now, each generation has different upbringing, thus differing in handling and disposition."
"If each family leader follows the old ways, Shen Family risks becoming another Qiyun Valley."
Understanding this, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Looking at his dignified son, Shen Wenxing pondered for a mont, then said, "Once Chonghong’s wedding is over, I’m preparing to close cultivation and attempt the Third Realm breakthrough."
"By then, family affairs will all depend on you."
"I don’t want to interfere much in how you manage the family, only hope you rember, whenever you make decisions, prioritize the family."
