My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1062 Spell Iteration
Zhao Mingcheng slowly woke up, and before he even opened his eyes, he sensed something was wrong, and a strong sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

His first reaction wasn't that he was about to be in danger, but rather whether something had happened to the children sleeping in the next room.

Not daring to delay for a moment, Zhao Mingcheng immediately got up and was about to go to the next room to check on the children's condition. However, before he even reached the door, a strong sense of alarm arose. This time, Zhao Mingcheng realized what was happening and quickly turned to look at the window of the room.

The window, which had been tightly closed before I went to bed, was now wide open, and a dark shadow darted in from outside.

Zhao Mingcheng is no longer a mortal. As an outstanding teacher who received the highest commendation and award in the teaching support program, he received the ultimate prize—the Creator God personally reshaped his meridians, and his cultivation aptitude advanced from that of an ordinary mortal to that of a celestial being.

The spiritual root he possesses is so superior that even celestial beings born in the heavenly realm would be ashamed of themselves. It is a super-celestial spiritual root that is an upgrade and perfection based on the celestial spiritual root, greatly optimizing the flaws in the meridians of the celestial spiritual root and bringing it to perfection.

The ultimate reward of the teaching support program is not just granting ordinary people the qualifications to cultivate. The bulk of the reward is that the Demon Alliance government covers all the resources needed for cultivation, including all the spirit stones and immortal jade that Zhao Mingcheng needs for cultivation.

The path to immortality for mortals is fraught with difficulties.

The aptitude alone is enough to eliminate the vast majority of people. Even if one has the aptitude for cultivation, in an era where spiritual energy is gradually depleting, without great fortune, it is impossible to meet the daily needs of cultivation.

Therefore, the cultivation world has the saying "dharma companion, wealth, and land." This only applies to a very small number of geniuses with cultivation aptitude. Once they lack "dharma companion, wealth, and land," even the most talented geniuses are far more likely to die than become immortals.

If one's aptitude and resources are given unlimited access, are such lucky individuals destined for smooth cultivation, rapid progress, and the ability to ascend to immortality?
That's not actually the case.

People often admire those with superior innate talents and abundant opportunities, but they often overlook the "mindset" hidden deep within a cultivator's soul—this is the fundamental factor that determines how far one can go and how high one can climb on the path of cultivation.

Talent is like the steel of a sharp blade, and resources are like the fire that forges a sword. Without the spirit to temper it and the will to wield it, even the sharpest sword will eventually break on a dangerous path, and even the most blazing fire will eventually be extinguished by a raging storm.

The Demon Alliance is willing to allocate huge resources to provide Zhao Mingcheng with unlimited support for his cultivation. The most important reason is that this former mortal has passed the test of character hidden in the teaching support program. Surrounded by a hundred peerless beauties who are at his mercy, he has remained true to himself and unmoved by temptations, and has never crossed the line with any student beyond the teacher-student relationship.

Besides Xiao Jie's class, Zhao Mingcheng also mentored two other classes of "Demon Insect Girls," all of whom successfully completed their teaching tasks.

Of the thousands of volunteer teachers, fewer than ten have achieved this feat.

This was far more rigorous than the minor trials Tang Sanzang endured on his journey to the West, indirectly proving that his character and virtue were comparable to those of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha.

What is even more commendable is that Zhao Mingcheng was not the kind of fanatical believer who supposedly saw through the illusions of the world, let go of worldly attachments, and devoted himself to Buddhism, as advocated by Western religious followers.

The reason he remained true to himself and resisted temptation, and the pillar that sustained him, was his love for his family and life, and his unwavering commitment to doing the right thing.

With such a mindset, he could easily attain Buddhahood by converting to the Western religion. The Demon Alliance, with its discerning eye, recognized his talent and groomed him as a key candidate to become their future guardian deity.

In just over a decade since his meridians were reshaped, Zhao Mingcheng's cultivation level has risen to the Mahayana stage, and he is not far from transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality.

This speed of progress is comparable to that of Wen Zhong, a prodigy among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, making him a promising future genius in the modern metaphysical energy system of the Demon Alliance.

However, unlike the elite disciples of the old sects who wanted to spread their fame throughout the world and whose appearances were like idol stars making a grand entrance, attracting everyone's admiration and praise.

The key talents cultivated by the Demon Alliance are all very low-key, not arrogant at all because of their extraordinary cultivation level. They hide among ordinary people without showing off, and even their neighbors think that Zhao Mingcheng is just an ordinary civil servant.

This is the difference in mindset. Zhao Mingcheng himself doesn't think he's anything special; he just thinks he's lucky to live in such a great era where ordinary people can achieve their dreams through hard work and perseverance.

The cultivation method Zhao Mingcheng practiced was not passed down from Tongtian Jiaozhu, but was compiled by Wen Rui, who integrated all the cultivation and qi-refining secrets of the Jie Sect, modernized them, and removed the dross to create the "Even Monkeys Can Become Immortals" scientific cultivation series.

Compared to the traditional secret texts of the Jie Sect, it is like a martial arts routine or a modern sports science training textbook. It not only teaches practitioners how to cultivate, but also explains in detail the basic principles of cultivation and summarizes the rules in cultivation, making it easier to learn and understand.

Zhao Mingcheng, who was in the Mahayana stage, was not weak in combat. If he were to fight against the Mahayana stage elders of the six major sects of the Chan Sect, he would defeat them as easily as a UFC champion beating a martial arts master on Douyin. He would beat them one by one without making a sound.

Unfortunately, he encountered Yun Zhongzi. All the so-called peerless geniuses in the mortal world were merely the threshold to meet Yun Zhongzi. Even Zhao Mingcheng, who was the genius among geniuses, was no exception.

Before he could react, Zhao Mingcheng's meridians were sealed by Yun Zhongzi, and his spiritual energy was locked in his dantian, making it completely impossible for him to circulate.

At the same time, a divine thought entered Zhao Mingcheng's sea of ​​consciousness: "Stop struggling and shouting, and don't even think about sending out your divine thought to warn others, otherwise I will have no choice but to lock your soul! You are also a cultivator, so you should understand that locking your soul will damage your cultivation foundation. Don't make a mistake for yourself."

Zhao Mingcheng was alarmed. His opponent had captured him in a single exchange and had even managed to forcefully break through his sea of ​​consciousness defenses to infuse him with divine sense. This meant that the opponent was at least a True Immortal or higher.

Upon hearing the warning echoing in his mind, Zhao Mingcheng immediately made a decision. He gave up resisting and let the attacker carry him out of the window and climb down the outer wall of the building.

Although the opponent was strong, Zhao Mingcheng was not entirely without the power to resist. The spells used by the attackers to seal his meridians were too old, at least two or three hundred years old. The spells and supernatural powers of today, after continuous iteration and updates, are many times more advanced than the old versions.

The old version of the meridian-sealing spell had at least a dozen loopholes and flaws that had not yet been fixed. Even if the opponent was strong enough to throw bricks, and the spell used to seal the meridians was actually a vast amount of immortal power, Zhao Mingcheng still had a way to use skill to break through force and break the opponent's spell.
