Very reasonable cultivation

Suddenly, there was a movement from the jade token on his waist. It was Tian Li, the second disciple, contacting me in the middle of the night. Could it be something urgent? Could it be that the third disciple was in danger again? Confused, Wang Xu picked up the jade token and injected spiritual energy into it.

"Master, where are you? Shitou wants to see you." Dazhuang's voice came, with a hint of excitement and helplessness in it.

"Can't we talk about it now?" Wang Xu took another sip of tea and said calmly, completely ignoring the heated discussion among the elders present. The elders also ignored him and angrily criticized their fellow brothers who had different ideas from them.

"He said he wanted to meet you in person and give you a surprise." Da Zhuang said.

"Is Tian Zhen next to you?" Wang Xu blocked the flying tea lid and shook his head. He really didn't know where his senior brothers had gone in their cultivation. They didn't have the temperament of cultivators at all.

"Yes! But..." Da Zhuang was about to finish saying 'not here' when he was interrupted by his master.

"Then bring it here. It's in Gaofeng Courtyard on the floating island." After saying that, the connection was cut off.

On the way, Da Zhuang, who was riding a flying donkey, looked helplessly at the universal storage device flying beside him, and then flew towards the floating island.

Wang Xu's side was even more chaotic. Some were trying to stop the fight, some were adding fuel to the fire, and some were indifferent. It was a complete mess.

The core of the debate is whether mortals can cultivate immortality, and why mortals should cultivate immortality.

Some elders believe that we are from mortal world and should establish our hearts for the heaven and earth and our lives for the people. We come from mortal world and we must go back to mortal world. As the saying goes, if one person attains enlightenment, all his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. If all his chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, why can't others do the same?

Some elders, however, believe this is fate. Aptitude and spiritual roots are innate. Even if a mortal possesses some aptitude and spiritual roots, if they spend all their time cultivating, wasting years and failing to even reach Qi Perfection, what's the point? Besides, we protect them, provide them with a safe environment, and let them live happily throughout their lives. Isn't that enough? Go outside the sect and see if they can compare to us?

"Mr. Lu, my mother, you are a lotus, so noble, do you think that mud deserves to be treated as nutrients? Don't forget, you were born by your mother!" The elder who tried to stop the quarrel held the emotional elder tightly.

"Everyone has his or her own obligations. My mother gave birth to me, so I should repay her. What's wrong with that?" The elder surnamed Lu looked calm.

While the elders were still arguing, Da Zhuang arrived at the scene with Tian Zhen's universal storage device.

Just as Da Zhuang was stunned and the universal storage device was stunned, Wang Xu's voice came: "Li'er, you're here, huh? Where's your junior brother?"

There was a hint of disappointment and confusion in his voice. Didn’t you want to see me? Didn’t you have a surprise?

Before Dazhuang could speak, Tian Zhen's universal storage device came closer, and Wang Xu's familiar voice came: "Hey, Master, guess where I am now?"

"Where are you? Are you in this ball?" Wang Xu was a little annoyed that he failed to show off, but he still made a higher guess about this unusual disciple based on the word "surprise".

"Hehehe~" Just as Tian Zhen was about to project the image directly, he was interrupted by an elder next to Wang Xu: "You must be Tian Zhen's nephew, right? You are the dark horse genius of this session, extremely talented, and I believe you have your own insights on some things. We are discussing whether mortals can cultivate immortality. Look, they are almost fighting and there is no conclusion yet. How about you tell me your opinion?"

Wang Xu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took a sip of tea to suppress it.

"Ah? A mortal can cultivate immortality? Of course! It's absolutely possible. As long as you practice with all your heart, there's nothing you can't achieve." Tian Zhen's affirmative voice came from the universal storage device, as if it was an easy thing.

"My nephew, you are bragging. Mortals only have some low-grade wood spiritual roots when they are children. It is difficult for them to enter the stage of Qi training with these spiritual roots. How can you call it cultivating immortals if it is meaningless? How can you cultivate immortals?" The elder's face stiffened when he saw that this extremely talented disciple thought that mortals could cultivate immortals.

"How is it bragging? To be honest with you, uncle-master, I am the mortal with the inferior wood spiritual roots that you mentioned. I can see that what you are arguing about is not whether mortals can cultivate immortality, but whether mortals should cultivate immortality. The mortals you mentioned should do what mortals should do. Do you respect the mortals you mentioned?" Tian Zhen finally understood what the elder meant. He was speechless, but still explained.

"Zhen'er~don't be rude." Wang Xu interrupted at the right time. He knew that if a tree stands out in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind.

But, he was too showy! If he had behaved like the second disciple, he would have kept it to himself. However, Tian Zhen's growth had already exceeded his imagination, and he had already surpassed him as a master in some aspects.

Moreover, the current environment in the sect is too comfortable, and he is afraid that going out in the future will harm Tian Zhen. He temporarily plans to put some pressure on Tian Zhen, let him experience the darkness first, and prepare for future training. So, if he doesn't take him out for a walk now, when will he wait?

"Junior brother, is what he said true? Does he really have the qualifications of inferior wood spiritual roots?" The elder did not answer Tian Zhen, but looked at Wang Xu in disbelief.

Wang Xu nodded, confirming Tian Zhen's words.

Another elder rushed over instantly, hugged the universal storage device's defensive force field and said, "Where are you, nephew? Are you willing to come and open our eyes?"

The universal storage device slid out of the elder's hand and flew behind the master, saying awkwardly, "I can't come for the time being. I'm in a deserted place right now."

"Oh? Where?" an elder interrupted.

The universal storage device floated out, and light began to emanate from around its body, and a picture was gradually projected.

It was a bright silver desert, dotted with pits of varying sizes, some as small as vats and some as large as canyons. Beyond its boundaries lay a deep, murky darkness, as thick as ink, seemingly swallowing up all light. This stark contrast imbued the scene with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

And above, an exceptionally bright light source hung high in the sky. Like a giant lamp, it cast a powerful beam of light. Illuminated by this light, the outline of a massive object, previously hidden in the darkness, gradually emerged. This outline was enormous, with only one corner fading into a gradient of golden, azure, and azure blue. Though it was a single curved arc, it was enough to outline the behemoth.

When everyone was in stunned silence, Tian Zhen directly said the answer: "I'm on the moon!"

In an instant, I immediately knew what these images before me represented.

The earth beneath their feet was spherical, but how could it be? This thought, like a flash of lightning, shattered the deeply ingrained perception in their minds. They had always believed that the earth was flat, like a giant, boundless chessboard, allowing them to walk, work, laugh, and cry on it.

Even the Yuanying Ancestor, who had unparalleled cultivation and exhausted his spiritual energy and flew to the highest place in their eyes, still saw a flat and boundless scene.

So the earth is flat. This is natural and universally acknowledged. This is a belief passed down from generation to generation, a truth instilled in them since childhood. Now, the scene before them leaves them bewildered, uneasy, and even angry.

"You kid, you still want to fool your uncles. How can you, who is only in the Qi Refining Stage, reach the moon?" Wang Xu didn't believe it either, but he would try to smooth things over and calm down these fellow brothers.
