In the early morning, the Lingxiao Sect branch was shrouded in a thin morning mist. The rising sun had just appeared in the sky, and its soft light sprinkled on the magnificent hall.
The morning bell rang through the sky, and the distant sound seemed to strike into the hearts of every disciple.
Today, all the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect branch gathered in front of the main hall, and the atmosphere was more solemn than usual.
The reason is very simple. Sect Leader Lu Tianze will be giving lectures in person today.
Lu Tianze, this name is almost synonymous with legend for the disciples of the branch sect.
He is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and a meritorious official of the Lingxiao Sect. It is said that in the great battle with the Demon Sect, he single-handedly turned the tide.
He defeated three powerful masters in the Spirit Transformation Stage and won countless honors for the sect.
In addition to his powerful strength, Lu Tianze is also an expert in cultivation theory and spiritual array runes.
What makes the disciples even more excited is that he is also Lu Qingli's father - the number one genius of the branch sect.
Being able to learn from such a person is an opportunity even rarer than spiritual stones falling from the sky.
Lu Tianze was wearing a green Taoist robe, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His face was as firm as a knife.
His eyes shone with a deep wisdom. Every step he took seemed to merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even just standing there made people feel that the air around them had become a little purer.
When he spoke, his voice was steady and full of authority: "Today's lesson will be taught by me personally."
His eyes swept across the disciples in the audience, like a sharp sword that could see through people's hearts.
"The path to immortality is long and full of dangers. If you don't understand the nature of your inner demons and the true meaning of cultivation, you will find it difficult to go further on the path."
Hearing this, the disciples all held their breath and concentrated, as if they were afraid of missing a single word.
Shen Tianshu stood in the front row, with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if to say:
"He is indeed a master of this realm. I will definitely gain a lot this time!"
Xiang Fan, who was standing at the end of the crowd, lowered his head, holding a small notebook in his hand, and his eyes were wandering.
He was not used to looking into the eyes of such a strong man, let alone listening to these profound truths. He only felt that a sleepiness had quietly come over him.
Lu Tianze raised his hand slowly, and a stream of spiritual power bloomed at his fingertips, drawing out several streams of light and condensing into a transparent spiritual light curtain.
The various realms of immortal cultivation gradually appeared on the light curtain: Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, void training, tribulation crossing, and ascension. Each realm was clearly marked with a light spot.
"To cultivate immortality is to go against the will of heaven and fight for one's life."
Lu Tianze's voice was deep and powerful.
"Every advancement in a realm is a comprehensive tempering of the mind, body, and soul. Every step of advancement for a cultivator is both an opportunity and a danger. A single carelessness can lead to inner demons and even death."
He tapped his fingers lightly, and the light spots began to flicker, and some dark red lines appeared on the light curtain.
Lu Tianze continued, "The inner demon does not come from the outside world, but is a projection of the obsession deep within you.
Greed, fear, delusion, hatred, and even the desire for power will hinder you."
At this point, he paused, his eyes sharp:
"The higher your cultivation realm, the stronger your inner demons become. If you cannot face your own obsessions, you will never be able to truly reach a higher realm."
At this time, a brave disciple couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Master, is there a way to completely eliminate the inner demon?"
Lu Tianze glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of deep meaning:
“The inner demon is never the enemy, it is the true reflection of your inner self.
A cultivator's Dao Heart is their weapon against this. Every breakthrough means giving up a certain 'heart' and facing the test of Heaven with a pure Dao Heart.
This sentence made many disciples ponder, while Shen Tianshu thought to himself confidently:
"My heart is firm, and the inner demon can't do anything to me! But these guys, none of them will pass the test of the inner demon."
However, Xiang Fan, who was in the last row, was quickly writing down Lu Tianze's explanation with a pen while muttering:
"Does the inner demon have to be so detailed? Isn't this the immortal cultivation version of an exam? Every time you take the test, you have to sacrifice your heart. That sounds absurd!"
Lu Tianze seemed to have heard Xiang Fan's mumbling, and suddenly turned to look in his direction, his eyes as deep as the sea.
Xiang Fan's scalp suddenly went numb. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to listen carefully, but he was shouting frantically in his heart:
"Don't look at me! I'm just a nobody. I don't have the right to have inner demons or anything like that!"
Lu Tianze on the stage didn't say much and continued to explain the key points of breakthroughs in each realm.
Although Xiang Fan felt that his head was about to be filled with words, he still took notes seriously. However, in addition to the normal theories,
There were also a few quiet complaints, such as "The idea of sacrificing one's life to attain enlightenment in the Nascent Soul stage is a bit hasty, isn't it?"
And "Sure enough, there is no backdoor to cultivating immortality, otherwise how could everyone still be in the Qi training stage?"
Lu Tianze concluded:
“Practice is like climbing a mountain; every step requires great determination and perseverance.
The inner demons are the most important tool for sharpening your character. Only by learning to face them will you be qualified to climb to a higher level."
As the words fell, the disciples nodded one after another, and sparse applause broke out from the audience.
However, Xiang Fan, who was standing in the back row, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "This paragraph sounds reasonable,
But why does it feel so scary? Is cultivating immortality really suitable for ordinary people?
Lu Tianze stood on the high platform, his aura was like a towering mountain, suppressing the disciples so that they dared not slack off in the slightest.
