Chapter 1236: Chapter 476: Behold the Light of the Righteous Path! (Part 2)
Situ Gu’s gaze continuously swept across the crowd, pausing momentarily on Kong Ran before moving away without a ripple on this lowest quality Vast Energy sheet.
Kong Ran’s situation was considered relatively better; most cultivators tasted the bitter fruit of failure in the first round of attempts.
The difficulty of creating Vast Energy is considerably higher than the previous Mountain and River Page and Heavenly Star Paper.
Chu Xuangu and Song Taosheng placed the latter two as the first deliberately, so that cultivators participating in the Xingyun Trial would generally achieve success first, gaining benefits and ensuring influence.
If Vast Energy were placed first, many might fail and develop conspiracy theories, thinking the Confucian Cultivator Group set up this trial to intentionally trouble them, rather than genuinely wanting to teach everyone the spirit paper’s creation method.
“Back when I first refined the Vast Energy, I also failed.”
“The greatest difficulty in refining this spirit paper lies in the Vast Energy itself. Having one’s own Vast Energy makes a huge difference.”
“Ning Zhuo, I’m curious how you’ll respond!”
Gu Qing’s Divine Sense spread over to Ning Zhuo, wanting to enjoy Ning Zhuo’s mishap.
However, after Ning Zhuo completed the analysis of the paper-making materials, he took out a small piece of bone from his Storage Waist Belt.
Gu Qing: “?!
His heart skipped a beat instantly.
What is this dreadful, intense premonition of familiarity?!
Ning Zhuo publicly revealed the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival.
Years ago, when the Great Scholar Mr. Shoujie passed away, his Vast Energy burst forth, like a white rainbow shooting straight to the heavens, lasting seventy-seven days without cessation.
His body, Vast Energy, and unyielding backbone constantly fused, eventually leaving behind this piece of spine.
It’s about three inches long, not a pale dry bone, but with a warm, white jade texture. When idle, it resembles a white jade bamboo segment, with straight lines and clear nodes.
Infusing it with mana emits a gentle yet resilient platinum glow.
If grasped by a demon cultivator, they suffer severe backlash. However, for a righteous cultivator, the platinum glow gradually integrates into their spine.
Once fully fused, the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival temporarily vanishes, merging with the spine, enabling the cultivator to generate their own Vast Energy!
“What, what is this?!” Seeing Ning Zhuo take out such a magic treasure, Gu Qing’s pupils shrank, recalling the scene of Ning Zhuo taking out the Dragon Qi Jade Pendant during the Mountain and River Page refining.
He’s increasingly sensing ill omen.
Situ Gu squinted, observing the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival in Ning Zhuo’s hand with growing curiosity: “Could this be… No, impossible. Such a treasure has always been hidden within the Evil Slaying Hall. How could it be in Ning Zhuo’s hands? Wait… Seems like it is?!”
And for on-site assessment, Zhong Dao’s subordinates watched Ning Zhuo closely, not blinking, silently noting, “It’s about to start.”
Ning Zhuo remained calm, infusing his mana into the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival.
Platinum radiance emerged, akin to the warm sun of winter, quickly enveloping Ning Zhuo wholly.
Then, the platinum glow grew increasingly abundant, forming an almost spherical light cluster, obscuring Ning Zhuo’s figure.
This phenomenon lasted only a dozen breaths but attracted more attention.
The platinum radiance completely retracted, permeating Ning Zhuo’s spine, blending as one.
In Ning Zhuo’s hand, the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival had vanished completely.
Zhong Dao’s subordinate was shaken: “Ning Zhuo succeeded! How did he do it so effortlessly?”
The White Rainbow Righteousness Festival is a treasure, a foundation of the Evil Slaying Hall, highly valued by Zhong Dao and others.
Not everyone can utilize it effectively, witnessing Ning Zhuo’s ease was rare for Zhong Dao’s subordinate!
The reason is simple—
“I am the righteous path!!!” Ning Zhuo screamed internally.
Ning Zhuo always believed so, growing up.
Because Ning Family is a righteous influence itself.
From a young age, Sun Lingtong intended to introduce Ning Zhuo to the Bukong Sect, a super sect with unknown greater strength than Ning Family.
Yet Ning Zhuo was unwavering, uninterested in joining Bukong Sect from an early age.
In Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Ning Zhuo solemnly told Sun Lingtong: “The righteous path isn’t to be blended in. It’s a positive life attitude.”
“Look, those people in the demon path always fight and kill, risking life and death, it’s so risky, how is it good.”
“I anticipate harmonious coexistence, accepting differences, even amidst conflict, mutual tolerance and bearing, living in peace, enjoying the beauty of cultivation.”
To assist those oppressed by the main branch, Ning Zhuo left voluntarily, enduring hardships, establishing Ning Clan Branch.
To help some impoverished clansmen, he proactively aided them solve livelihoods, elevating their living standards mutually.”
Incidentally, he accelerated in cultivation with their help (Essence Blood), mutually beneficial.
This is a win-win, a successful righteous collaboration example!
Ning Zhuo continuously battled evil forces.
For example, in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he tackled local underworld gang Monkey Head Gang, indirectly aiding Yuan Dasheng to repent and start anew as an ape.
In Liangzhu Country, he aided Half-Demon Liu Er, disregarding racial distinction. He fiercely suppressed the demon path force of Thousand Peak Forest’s turmoil, aiding General Mu Lan, even becoming Mu Lan’s spouse. Alas, this trouble persists unresolved.
In White Paper Immortal City, he braved danger for the city’s populace, preserving Yin Tide Black Swamp’s life’s vitality, daringly overcoming Lord of Wanchuan, averting a crisis’s fall. To eradicate lasting troubles, he even acquired Heavenly Capital Self, severing Lord Wanchuan’s evil notions!
In Myriad Images Sect, though alone, against demon cultivators like Pi Fujie and Ban Ji, Ning Zhuo remained fearless, disregarding their powerful background. Especially during Evil Slaying Hall’s Sinking Sin Swamp trial, his answer to The Three Questions of the Heart was resounding, echoing loudly. His actions showcased Ning Zhuo’s righteous demeanor!
“I’m a hero!”
“If I’m not the righteous path, then who? Who can be the righteous path?!”
Ning Zhuo inwardly and outwardly believed himself to be the righteous path.
“Due to livelihood pressure, indeed there was a period acted like a thief.”
“But what choice did I have?”
“I must survive, can’t fail my mother’s hopes.”
“Even acting thievishly, I consistently yearned for brightness.”
“White Paper Immortal City’s adventures sufficiently prove my persistence, my original intention. I am the righteous path’s hero!”
“And now…”
Ning Zhuo abruptly opened his eyes, gaze sharp as lightning, aura skyrocketing.
“Let the world witness my Vast Energy!!”
Boom—!
In the following moment, platinum energy burst forth, akin to a white rainbow, directly shooting skyward, shattering the array, penetrating deep into the azure.
White Rainbow Piercing the Sun!
“What?!!” Situ Gu’s eyes bulged ferociously, as if someone struck his eyeball’s back with a punch.
He was exceedingly shocked!
He devoted nearly a lifetime to cultivating ample Vast Energy. In scale, only Duanmu Zhang surpassed him among the Confucian Cultivator Group.
But now, another emerged stronger than him, Ning Zhuo!
Situ Gu internally exclaimed: “White Rainbow Righteousness Festival, yes, certainly that treasure!”
Yet even so, even so—
“Utilizing the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival for Vast Energy still depends on the cultivator himself!”
“This younger Ning Zhuo… is so, so righteous!”
Amongst the spectators, Zhong Dao’s subordinate squinted into fine slits.
The white rainbow’s brilliance was intense, stinging his eyes to tears.
At this moment, the subordinate’s heart was full of awe.
He knew Hall Master Zhong Dao’s investigation had yielded final results. Moreover, with this display, Ning Zhuo will surely become the favored one before Zhong Dao!
