Chapter 44: Huaxia Cultivation Alliance

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Huaxia Cultivation Alliance

There were actually quite a few cultivators in the first stage abroad because it only required physical training. But entering the second stage, the Divine Thought Stage, required comprehension of the Heavenly Dao. The Daoist philosophy of the Unity of Heaven and Man in Huaxia, or the emotional resonance within its culture, seemed to align more closely with the Heavenly Dao. Not to mention the frequent emergence of various inheritances. Therefore, the proportion of cultivators at the Divine Thought Stage in Huaxia far exceeded that of any other country in the world. This was also why, on the day the Heavenly Dao was reshaped, only Huaxia produced Golden Core experts globally.

"Regardless..." Shen Yun thought for a moment and shrugged. "This huge gap in opportunities brought by the reshaping of the Heavenly Dao won’t be so easily bridged. I expect it’ll be at least another two or three years before a new Golden Core appears."

"True," Wei Er nodded. "However, we still can’t be careless. This battle against the Azure Emperor also shows that modern weapons remain a massive threat to a Golden Core." Although the Azure Emperor’s disadvantage was largely due to his ignorance of the actual situation, it still proved that a Golden Core was far from invincible when facing modern weaponry.

"Naturally, I’m not arrogant enough to think I’m invincible." Shen Yun waved his hand and suddenly stretched his back. "Speaking of which, I really do want to go back. There are too few entertainment activities in this dump. I don’t think I can stand staying here much longer."

Wei Er realized that this Mr. Shen secretly had a wild side. But his strength was genuinely formidable.

"There’s one more thing," Wei Er suddenly remembered. "I might as well say it now. Mr. Shen, we intend to establish a non-governmental organization to unify and manage the domestic cultivators."

"Huh?" Shen Yun paused in surprise. A non-governmental organization established by the government?

"Although we issued a policy early on for all cultivators to register, the registration rate is pitifully low." Wei Er shook his head, sighing over who knew what, and continued, "Actually, the reason is quite obvious. A significant portion of cultivators has reservations about the government, and we haven’t offered any substantial benefits to attract them. But now..."

Wei Er didn’t finish his sentence, but Shen Yun already understood. Among the gifts received during this ceremony, there were quite a few Elixirs and magical treasures, and even Cultivation Technique inheritances and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. Using these, they could attract the vast majority of cultivators to join, which would also facilitate management.

"I can join." Shen Yun thought for a moment and nodded. He had previously refused to join the Special Service Bureau, but if it was a relatively free and loose non-governmental organization, it wouldn’t be a problem.

"We’re not asking you to join; we’re asking you to found it," Wei Er said with a chuckle. "After all, you are the benchmark figure at the very forefront of global cultivators. Right, Your Majesty the Thunder Emperor? We also believe you have the ability and prestige to set a good example for Huaxia’s cultivators. You are the only choice for the first Alliance Leader of this Huaxia Cultivator Alliance."

"Exactly, exactly." Miao Yun bobbed her little head in agreement. "I’ll definitely join any organization founded by you, fellow Daoist."

Shen Yun opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. After his initial surprise, it was easy for him to realize that he was indeed the most suitable person to found such an organization. He couldn’t help but feel that he had passed the point of no return on the path to becoming a fake big shot, which made him sweat a little.

"Alright, I can give it a try. But as for the specific management..." Shen Yun was about to say he would just be an honorary Alliance Leader, but he suddenly glanced at Xiao Jiu. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I’ll do my best." He would grant Enlightenment to more monsters in the future. Having some real power or influence would make it easier to handle their identities, and sooner or later, a powerful faction would gather around him anyway.

"Since you agree, I won’t interrupt your good time any longer." Wei Er stood up to take his leave. After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly noticed that Miao Yun didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of leaving. He couldn’t help but shake his head and walked out with a grief-stricken face. In the past, he couldn’t compete with the Gao Shuaifu. Now that he was somewhat of a big shot, he was still being crushed by the Gao Shuaiqiang. It was all the fault of being fat. Before leaving, he pulled the door shut behind him, making a soft THUD.

"Is there anything else, Miao Yun?" Shen Yun looked at her.

"Yes." Miao Yun nodded. She suddenly stood up and bowed to him. "Thank you for venting my anger for me."

"Uh." Shen Yun caught on and quickly stood up to step aside. "That’s an exaggeration. We were going to fight anyway."

"Regardless, I still want to thank you." Miao Yun straightened up, biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes dimming a little. "Sometimes, I really wish I were a man."

Shen Yun smiled. "Fair maidens are highly sought after by gentlemen, after all. Since your heart is set on the Dao, don’t take these things to heart. Just reject them and be done with it."

"But since I have no interest, how can I have the nerve to interact with those fellow Daoists again..." Miao Yun was a little dejected. "The path of cultivation isn’t something one can walk entirely alone."

Shen Yun began to understand. This girl wasn’t an ice queen; she had a pure and gentle personality but simply didn’t know how to handle interpersonal relationships. Yet, ironically, no other female cultivator could compare to her.

"Isn’t there still my Master?" Xiao Jiu suddenly walked over and held Miao Yun’s hand, smiling as beautifully as a flower. "My Master currently has no energy to find a mistress for me. Plus, since he’s so incredible, why would you need any other men?"

"That’s true." Surprisingly, Miao Yun nodded in agreement. She squeezed Xiao Jiu’s hand back and said in a soft voice, "It’s a good thing you’re so pretty, Xiao Jiu."

Shen Yun stared at the two girls who had suddenly become as close as best friends. He felt that something was off. Was it just his imagination?

"By the way, Sister Miao Yun, why are you barefoot?" As they chatted, Xiao Jiu suddenly shifted the topic to Miao Yun’s feet. Shen Yun couldn’t help but prick up his ears to listen. It was indeed strange. After all, in this day and age, a pair of bare feet was too eye-catching, especially when Miao Yun’s toes were so fair, tender, and crystal-clear.

"Because..." Miao Yun’s face turned slightly red, and her toes involuntarily curled up under their scrutiny. "I rarely went out in the past, so I’m not really used to wearing shoes." Her past heart disease was congenital. Ever since she could remember, she had been kept under strict indoor protection. At most, she would walk around barefoot inside the house. Moreover, she didn’t like the restrictive feeling of wearing shoes.

"That’s so nice. You’re just like Guanguan. My favorite character is Guanguan!" Xiao Jiu looked down at her own beautiful legs with a bit of regret. "But if I didn’t wear shoes..."

COUGH COUGH COUGH.

Shen Yun coughed lightly in embarrassment, deciding that he would let Xiao Jiu know later. Miao Yun looked at the two of them and seemed to realize something, her face growing redder and redder.

"Then I won’t interrupt you two from sleep... sleeping. Goodbye." After saying that, she drifted out of the room in the blink of an eye like a wisp of green smoke. She didn’t forget to lock the door behind her, either.
