I was dumped while cultivating immortality in my later years, and the system only came to me after I

Poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting can all lead to enlightenment.

However, it is indeed an unconventional path to enlightenment.

It's just different from the orthodox methods of cultivating immortality, such as alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, and talismans.

In the southern border regions, people practice more poison-related arts and medical skills.

Chu Feng immediately laughed, "They really are quite funny."

Don't they know that they possess the wisdom accumulated over five thousand years on Earth? This is a world of cultivation, where five million years of wisdom cannot compare to five thousand years of accumulated wisdom.

Play with me, and I'll make you regret it.

Lu Xiaobao asked curiously, "Master, are you planning to go?"

"Go, why wouldn't I go?" Chu Feng said confidently.

"Then we'll see how your master wreaks havoc and shows them how powerful your master is."

"Master, do you really understand poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and other arts?" Lu Xiaobao was clearly a little skeptical. Who among cultivators would study these things? If they were to study them, they would study alchemy, weapon crafting, talismans, and formations.

Don't believe those who claim that cultivators have long lifespans and plenty of time to study poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; that's all a lie.

Cultivation takes no time; before you know it, hundreds or even thousands of years have passed.

Especially when they know what lies ahead, the longer they live, the less they take life and death lightly; on the contrary, they fear death and will stop at nothing to stay alive, just like Chu Feng back then.

With his lifespan nearing its end, he tried every possible means, even risking everything, and would never let go of any chance, no matter how small.

Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "These are not things you need to worry about."

soon.

One day passed.

the next day.

Chu Feng arrived at the palace right on time.

Emperor Yu and his court officials were overjoyed at the appearance of Chu Feng. Clearly, they were prepared to use this opportunity to suppress Chu Feng and save face.

Your cultivation is boundless, and your strength is immense. We are no match for you at all. In your presence, we are like children. But when it comes to literature, you are utter trash.

Don't think that you can compete with my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty in terms of cultivation power (30% vs. 70%).

However, in literature, my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty is on par with your Chu Feng in terms of a 30/70 split.

They were wiped out seven times in three days.

I can kill you seven times in three seconds.

Who is more powerful?

Hahaha.

Looking at the happy crowd, Chu Feng shrugged and said indifferently, "I say, Emperor Yu the Great, I've arrived. Who is the top scholar? Step forward and let me see."

Sure enough, there was a young man at the scene, who looked to be in his thirties. He also practiced cultivation, but his cultivation level was very low.

The examination for immortals in the Heavenly Dynasty of Yu the Great was a literary examination.

Once you pass the test, you can enter the Celestial Dynasty, become an official, and obtain the Celestial Dynasty's cultivation methods.

Many people from poor families have taken this path.

It's difficult for those from poor families to cultivate themselves.

Although cultivation is widespread in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, to achieve success in cultivation and obtain profound and unfathomable techniques, one must join the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and enter the various immortal sects and holy lands.

The divine examination is the best way.

Once you enter the imperial court as an official, you'll have access to all kinds of skills and resources.

He attained enlightenment in one day.

It's more than what you've gained from over twenty years of hard work and cultivation.

The top scholar's name was Yang Kaidi.

He bowed deeply to Chu Feng and said, "Student Yang Kai greets Your Excellency."

Chu Feng nodded and asked, "You're the top scholar, what are you good at?"

Yang Kaidi smiled and said, "I have a deep understanding of poetry and lyrics, and I would appreciate your guidance."

Chu Feng immediately laughed. Sure enough, this kid must have received instructions from the emperor to provoke him and try to defeat him in the art of poetry.

Especially since this kid is actually the chosen one.

Just as Chu Feng entered the main hall.

The system then beeped.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have encountered Yang Kaidi, the chosen one of destiny.]

[Luck value: 55 points.]

[History: Yang Kaidi had a childhood sweetheart wife back in his hometown who made a living selling tofu. She supported his studies, helped him pass the imperial examinations, and achieved the highest rank of Zhuangyuan (top scholar). He made a stunning debut in the palace examination, gaining the favor of Emperor Yu the Great, especially during the aptitude test, where it was discovered that he possessed a rare divine physique.]

Emperor Yu then took him as his son-in-law. In order to become the son-in-law, Yang Kaidi concealed the fact that he had a wife, readily agreed, and secretly sent someone back to his hometown to kill his wife. In the end, his wife died tragically, and he achieved his goal of becoming the son-in-law.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was traveling to take the imperial examinations, his wife back home was already pregnant and had given birth to a daughter. His wife was murdered, but his daughter miraculously survived. A hundred years later, she killed him to avenge her father. In retaliation for killing Yang Kaidi, she committed suicide after killing her father.

At this time, Yang Kaidi had already been chosen by the emperor as his son-in-law, and the emperor had sent men to his hometown to kill him.

This Yang Kaidi is actually a scumbag.

The supporting character's destiny as a chosen one.

[Mission: Suppress Yang Kaidi, make him lose face, lower his destiny, and ultimately he will meet a tragic end.]

That's it.

Chu Feng dismissed it with disdain.

Alright then, let's sweep away the dust and let fate fall away, that's easy.

Chu Feng said, "Alright then, I'll teach you a little bit. I hope you still have your intelligence."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the court officials, some even adopting a "let's watch the show" attitude.

I want to see what Chu Feng is up to.

Yang Kaidi laughed even harder. As far as poetry is concerned, he is hailed as a poetic genius who appears only once every ten thousand years in the Great Yu Dynasty.

If Chu Feng knew that Yang Kaidi called himself the Poet Immortal, he would probably laugh himself to death. After all, the historical foundation of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was far superior to the five thousand years of history of Blue Star.

Yang Kaidi made his decision.

The plan was for everyone to wait for Chu Feng to give them some pointers, and then step forward to point out his shortcomings and make him lose face.

So he respectfully said to Chu Feng, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll compose a poem then."

"This poem is called 'Ascending to a Height'."

"The wind is strong and the sky is high, the monkeys are howling sadly, the sand is clear and the white birds are flying back. The endless fallen leaves are rustling down, the endless Yangtze River is rolling in. I am often a guest in the sad autumn thousands of miles away, and I am alone on the stage for a hundred years due to illness. The hardship and hatred have made my hair white, and I have just stopped drinking muddy wine in my poverty."

"What do you think of this poem?"

Chu Feng smiled.

As soon as this poem came out.

The entire court fell silent.

No one spoke; they just looked at each other in silence.

"This poem is unprecedented and unheard of. Its artistic conception is lofty and profound. In the history of our Great Yu Dynasty, there is probably no poem that can compare with it." In the silent court, someone suddenly spoke up in a low voice.

But no one objected, which clearly shows that everyone agreed with this view.

Even Yang Kaidi's face turned pale, then white, then black.

He had planned to offer his advice and show off his poetic talent when Chu Feng composed his poem, but in the end, Chu Feng's poem completely disrupted all his plans.

This poem is just as someone just said.

Throughout history, spanning millions of years, no poem can compare to this one. He himself called himself the Poet Immortal and wrote dozens of poems, yet none of them could rival his.

Moreover, it was not a suppression on the same scale.
