Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

"We'll contribute half the spirit stones. The patriarch can find some outstanding disciples to stand around and listen in. This is our bottom line. If that's not possible, we'll have to find another place."

Father Li was startled but remained silent. He ordered his men to activate the great formation while simultaneously trying to appease the guests listening to the sermon.

A flash of light appeared, and the entire Li family was enveloped in an array. All divine senses were instantly blocked from observing what had happened. Even the grand array had been activated.

"What's going on? Why is the grand formation being activated?"

"Could this be a conspiracy by the Li family?"

"Where is Patriarch Li? Call him out here immediately! We need an explanation!"

Some people even took out weapons, and the scene was filled with panic and chaos.

"Quiet down, everyone! I, Li, can assure you that this sermon is perfectly safe, and there are no conspiracies or tricks involved." Li's father used his spiritual power to amplify his voice throughout the entire plaza, and the plaza instantly fell silent.

"Patriarch Li, what exactly is going on? You must give us an explanation!"

"Don't worry, everyone. The reason we activated the grand formation is because this sermon is special. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to activate it. Please be patient, my daughter-in-law will soon bring you the sage's sermon." This was the first time that Li's father publicly acknowledged Tang Xiaoxiao's identity.

Tang Xiaoxiao sat on the high platform, with a small object on the table. This was a magical artifact that Li Mo had specially commissioned to be made for Tang Xiaoxiao, capable of transmitting her voice throughout the entire square.

Tang Xiaoxiao began her sermon only after the entire square had completely quieted down.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of Heaven and Earth; named, it is the mother of all things."

As soon as Tang Xiaoxiao began her sermon, countless rays of light descended upon her. Her hidden ailments were also healed within this light.

The way of the sage is indeed well-deserved.

The crowd gasped in astonishment at this extraordinary sight. Never before in history had anyone been seen to begin preaching with such a dazzling display of light.

If the way of the sage is so extraordinary, what great power must the sage possess?

This strange phenomenon alarmed all the major powers on the continent. Each power dispatched people to investigate the cause of this unusual occurrence.

Those watching from outside the Li family's residence naturally witnessed such a spectacular scene.

What else don’t you understand?

One by one, they beat their chests in regret, and some even slapped themselves twice in public, disregarding their image.

Don't slap yourself in the face, it hurts, really, believe me.

Such a great opportunity, and I missed it. I regret it, I really regret it.

Standing next to Tang Xiaoxiao, Li Mo was the most deeply moved and the most shocked.

Because he was close to Tang Xiaoxiao, Li Mo's cultivation level rose rapidly due to the influence of the rosy light, and he is now at the seventh level of the Spirit Guiding Realm.

While shocked, a vague sense of unease crept into his heart. This commotion had gone too far; the Li family might not be able to keep Xiaoxiao!

Tang Xiaoxiao was still excited about her recovery, and her enthusiasm for reciting her lessons was even greater. She stood tall, her expression serious and focused. She exuded an air of superiority.

Will I be able to cultivate myself after this sermon?

"Therefore, one should always be without desire to observe its subtlety, and always have desire to observe its manifestations. These two arise from the same source but have different names; they are both called profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all mysteries. ... Therefore, the sage acts without acting and teaches without speaking. All things arise and he does not refuse them. He gives birth to them but does not possess them, acts but does not rely on them, and accomplishes his work but does not claim credit. It is precisely because he does not claim credit that his work does not depart from him."

As the sermon continued, ordinary grass transformed into spiritual grass, and mortal objects into spiritual objects. The entire space was enveloped in the rhythm of the Dao, and mysterious voices resounded in everyone's ears.

Tang Xiaoxiao was enveloped by the Daoist aura, and her whole being was immersed in the glow of the sunset.

Those who listened to the teachings were in a meditative state, and their cultivation, which had not increased for a long time, unknowingly grew significantly, with some even breaking through to a higher realm.

Tang Xiaoxiao had only covered a third of the story when she saw everyone engrossed in their enlightenment. She decided to call it a day and head back. She figured she couldn't fleece everyone at once; she was confident she could fleece even more next time.

Because he needed to protect Tang Xiaoxiao, Li Mo did not participate in the enlightenment process. After being bathed in the radiant light, Li Mo's cultivation had reached the second level of the Void Returning stage.

Li Mo's divine nature initially disdained enlightenment. However, upon discovering the extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, he was so enraged that his entire body trembled.

That reckless brat should have been killed from the start. Indeed, anyone favored by the Divine Lord is no ordinary person; I underestimated her. The assassination plan needs to be refined and put into action quickly.

Leaving aside the turmoil outside, after Li Mo and Tang Xiaoxiao returned to their residence, Tang Xiaoxiao handed all the spirit stones and magical artifacts to Li Mo, saying, "I don't need these for now. You should quickly improve your cultivation. Only when you are strong can you better protect me."

Looking into her bright eyes, filled with complete dependence, Li Mo felt a mix of emotions. If one day she found out he had lied to her, would she be furious and leave him? Would she never again depend on him so completely?

A dark glint flashed in Li Mo's eyes. He would never allow such a possibility to exist. Tang Xiaoxiao was destined to be his for life!

Li Mo gently approached Tang Xiaoxiao, wanting to plant a kiss on her forehead. Tang Xiaoxiao's joy vanished instantly; her chest heaved, her face paled, and she took a few steps back to avoid him.

Li Mo glanced at her, hurt, and said, "It's okay, I'll always wait for you."

Three hours later, some people in the square had already woken up from their state of enlightenment.

The Li family members who remained steadfast in their posts, though not yet at the stage of enlightenment, had still taken a small step forward.

They excitedly used their divine senses to communicate with each other.

"Young friend, where has Master Li, who preached the Tao, gone?"

The Li family members who were asked the question were stunned for a moment. Master Li? How come they had never heard of such a person? It took them a while to realize that this must refer to their young mistress, Tang Xiaoxiao.

"That is our young mistress, surnamed Tang. As for her whereabouts, we cannot disclose that information."

"May I ask when Master Tang will give his next lecture? I will definitely attend." The man quickly changed his form of address, his attitude becoming extremely humble and polite.

More and more people are awakening from their enlightenment and, upon hearing the conversation here, they all perk up their ears.

"You can ask the head of the family about that. We don't know anything about this."

The person who asked the question was speechless for a moment. The Li family head was as steady as a mountain, in a state of enlightenment. He must have been out of his mind to go and get scolded.

There's nothing we can do but wait.

An hour later, everyone gradually emerged from their meditation. The next lecture was scheduled for a month later. It was said that Master Tang had gained some insight and went into seclusion to further his enlightenment.

Knowing the inside story, Uncle Li's lips twitched violently. "Enlightenment, my foot! He's clearly eating and drinking, living comfortably in his own courtyard. If this is what enlightenment is, then I'm enlightenment every single day."

Despite his inner complaints, Uncle Li still deftly picked up a futon and stuffed it into his storage ring.

When everyone dispersed and was packing up, the Li family members berated those who had come to listen to the sermon. They said it was one thing to come and listen, but for spiritual cultivators to be so shallow, even stealing a small prayer mat, was utterly absurd.
