Capítulo 2237: Chapter 2236: Unique Cultivation, The Middle-Aged Man

It is precisely because the Righteous Sun Sect practices such a simple and unadorned cultivation method that their sect’s defenses are not very strict.

The gatekeeping disciples come as they please.

The entire Sect Gate could even be said to be as poor as a beggar.

The most valuable place within the main gate is undoubtedly the mixed mine in the sect’s back mountain.

No one knows why this mixed mine was formed, but it contains every kind of mineral imaginable.

If disciples wish to refine weapons or even craft some magical treasures,

they can always apply for Spirit Stones.

Practicing cultivation in this sect emphasizes following one’s heart and nature.

However, the Righteous Sun Sect also has some requirements.

For example, the monthly sermon assembly.

All disciples must attend.

But this sermon assembly is not about a powerful figure expounding on some cultivation secrets or experiential insights.

It is an assembly where countless people gather to comprehend the heavens and earth.

At that time, both the strong and the weak will participate in this comprehension.

This is their path of cultivation.

And besides comprehending on sunny days, they also gather during thunderstorms or rainy days to comprehend.

This cultivation method is unique to the entire Divine Continent.

Moreover, as the Sect Hierarch of the Righteous Sun Sect, Supreme Nine Suns is not the kind of person who’s elusive and rarely seen.

It is said that Supreme Nine Suns often strolls within the main gate, and disciples frequently meet him.

Supreme Nine Suns is very open to new things, and when the path of technology began to develop, he was among the first to study it.

……

When Xu Zimei climbed this mountain peak,

he found that the depths of the towering mountains were almost entirely visible at a glance.

The roads were flat, and all kinds of flowers, grass, and trees were neatly and cleanly trimmed.

Furthermore, various trees were planted on both sides.

There were apple trees, pear trees, and all kinds of fruits imaginable.

Xu Zimei glanced casually,

and noticed countless cultivators busy within the orchards.

Just moments ago, it was raining heavily, and Xu Zimei looked up to find that the rain had stopped now.

“Return to dusk, and eventually find one’s place,” Xu Zimei murmured to himself.

……

“The heavens and the earth have a dog’s face, changing without a moment’s notice.”

“Exactly, it was just raining, and I worried the orchard’s reflectors might get drenched, but it’s stopped in an instant.”

“Zhou Zhi, what’s the use of these reflectors?”

“You don’t understand, do you? For apples to be rosy, they must receive enough sunlight.

But apples are round, and inevitably some spots can’t catch sunlight.

I use the reflectors to shine sunlight on these apple corners.”

“So there’s such a principle, huh? Can you set something up for us when you have time?”

“I’ve heard that as long as the True Disciples manage their fruit trees well, they can break through several major cultivation realms.”

The cultivators before him appeared quite different from what he imagined.

There was no traveling the world with a sword, no overpowering aura.

They looked like ordinary farmers, tending to their orchards in plain clothing.

They seemed like ascetics.

This, too, relates to the Righteous Sun Sect’s cultivation method.

The sect emphasizes comprehending heaven and earth, so what exactly does it mean to comprehend?

And what exactly are the heavens and the earth?

The Sect Hierarch, Supreme Nine Suns, has left the answer.

To comprehend heaven and earth, one must return oneself to heaven and earth.

How to return? Grains and cereals, emotions and relationships, all these are part of heaven and earth.

Do not arrogantly seek to transcend or dream of eternal life.

Stepping too far can strain your legs.

For weaker cultivators, managing the grains well is the best cultivation method.

……

Xu Zimei surveyed his surroundings.

He noticed many disciples emerging from the orchards.

But these disciples didn’t notice Xu Zimei, after all, in such a vast sect, it’s quite normal not to know everyone.

However, Xu Zimei proactively spoke up.

“Gentlemen, is your Sect Hierarch Supreme Nine Suns within the sect?”

Xu Zimei’s voice drew the attention of the countless disciples.

“Aren’t you a member of the Righteous Sun Sect?”

“Who are you, and why do you seek our Sect Hierarch?”

“I am a messenger sent by the heavens, seeking your Sect Hierarch for some matters,” Xu Zimei casually replied.

“A messenger sent by the heavens?

An Angel?”

The crowd was skeptical.

Usually, people wouldn’t believe that elsewhere,

but the Righteous Sun Sect emphasizes respect for the heavens and the earth.

“We don’t know where our Sect Hierarch is, he doesn’t disclose his whereabouts to us.”

Someone stepped forward and said.

“You can look for our Core Elders; they are all the Sect Hierarch’s True Disciples and surely know.”

“Let me lead you,” a middle-aged man offered, stepping forward.

This middle-aged man had been at the back until then, and Xu Zimei hadn’t particularly noticed him.

Now that he spoke, the surrounding disciples automatically made way for him.

It was clear his identity was not ordinary.

He wore simple clothing, a straw hat tucked into his belt, carrying a hoe in his hand.

He seemed to have just returned from farming.

“Nine Heaven Senior Brother,” many disciples greeted and acknowledged the middle-aged man.

“Go and cultivate, there’s nothing much to see,” the middle-aged man waved them away.

Then he approached Xu Zimei.

With a smile, he said, “I’ll take you to find the Elders. This mountain is vast, and getting lost wouldn’t be good.”

Xu Zimei sized up the middle-aged man.

Despite his ordinary appearance, standing there, he was upright, resembling an ancient tree.

Regardless of whether this middle-aged man was genuinely kind or wary of Xu Zimei as a stranger,

Xu Zimei didn’t mind either way.

So he replied with a smile, “Then let’s go.”

As they walked along the avenue, the middle-aged man appeared familiar with the route.

He was taciturn and didn’t initiate conversation with Xu Zimei.

“With your current cultivation, didn’t Supreme Nine Suns take you as a True Disciple?” Xu Zimei asked, intrigued.

Despite his unassuming appearance,

Xu Zimei could sense the other’s formidable strength.

The spiritual energy within him was like a vast ocean, fathomless and immeasurable.

Though not comparable to Xu Zimei, in the Righteous Sun Sect, he was certainly not a weakling.

The middle-aged man smiled.

Replying, “The Sect Hierarch said, the path I’m cultivating is different from his.

Even if he took me as a True Disciple, he couldn’t help me much.”

“The path I’m on is like working while groping for stones, with no precedents to follow.”

As they chatted, they arrived before an artificial hill.

It was a spot called “Heavenly Crevice,”

stretching at least a few hundred meters long, but only a few centimeters wide. Not to mention a person, even a fly could scarcely pass through.

Upon arriving here, a few sticks of incense mysteriously appeared in the middle-aged man’s hand.

He lit the incense, and wisps of smoke curled up instantly.

“What brings you here?”
