Chapter 922: First Year of Cultivation Era (2)
The old Daoist priest nodded gently and asked thoughtfully, “Why do you want to cultivate?”
This question seemed to have stirred up a certain memory of the blonde woman. In her memories, that figure could not be forgotten.
“I want to understand someone, so I want to understand what he’s dedicated to. Master, can’t I cultivate with you?” the blond woman asked this question worriedly, but the old Daoist quickly shook his head gently.
“Since you can come here, it means that you are fated with cultivation. The Dao Ancestor said before that it was difficult to open the Dao Sect, but the fated person opened it himself.”
After receiving such an answer, the blonde woman finally relaxed. Then, the old Daoist priest explained some things to her that she did not understand. All of this was seriously recorded by the blonde woman and she kept thinking about it.
In this environment where everyone in Great Xia cultivated, there were not many foreign faces.
Other than this golden-haired woman, there was another man on the Qiantang River Dojo. He was wearing the same white Daoist robe as everyone beside him. He sat cross-legged on the Qiantang River Dojo and exhaled with everyone to sense the supernatural aura.
This person was the creator of the Macheteman comic that was popular back then. It was also to follow Su Yun that he traveled thousands of miles to Great Xia and survived in this life. In his comics, the image of the Macheteman was drawn vividly. Every stroke was filled with his reverence for this character.
In reality, after knowing that Su Yun was the Macheteman, he resolutely came to Great Xia alone. Before Su Yun was a Dao Ancestor, he had already become a role model in his heart because of his identity as a Macheteman.
Now, Su Yun was the most dazzling existence in the entire Great Xia. He followed everyone and firmly embarked on the path of cultivation.

Ever since the second sermon, the dojos, regardless of whether it was a sermon day, were filled with people every day. More and more people sensed the supernatural aura, and the number of people who entered cultivation increased drastically every day.
From the beginning, the Hearing Dao Bureau had only established a headquarters in the capital. Now, they had no choice but to start the branch plan. All the cities with main dojos set up branches of the bureau in the nearby area. The people in charge of distribution would also be selected from the pioneers to better manage the cultivators.
Women like Chen Jie, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and the others had already been sent to various universities as pioneer representatives.
Cultivation disciplines were added to the universities, and this discipline also occupied a very important weight of achievement. In a teaching building specially built for cultivation subjects in Hibiscus City University, Chen Jie was teaching the students how to meditate properly and cooperate with the breathing.
In the classroom next door, Professor Lv was tirelessly enjoying the knowledge of cultivation and the philosophy Su Yun had conveyed to everyone.
In the police academy, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Lv Hongya were the instructors and were leading the students in martial arts training to sense the supernatural aura and use it in every move to unleash greater power.
If this had happened in the past, it would have been a fantasy. However, now that Su Yun had introduced the supernatural aura in the universe, everything had become realistic.
It was even more so in the army. Combat Wolf preached in various military districts, and all those who entered the path gathered in separate units for special training. In addition to conventional firearms training, one could often see people practicing throwing cards and flying needles. It was as if they hoped to master the ability like Su Yun to express their respect for the Dao Ancestor.
In the second sermon, Su Yun mentioned the subtle connection between the human body and the world and said that the best time to cultivate was ten past noon.
Therefore, the companies and factories in various places in Great Xia had readjusted their rest time and established additional cultivation rooms for all the company employees to improve their cultivation.
Because people of important jobs missed this opportunity during the previous second sermon, the state separately allocated pioneers for centralized training. Even the people who were guarding the Luan Platform returned to the ground in batches and tried to cultivate.
This year was called the first year of the Cultivation Era by the commoners. In this year, the Great Xia kept reforming. Under Su Yun’s lead, the country officially walked the path of cultivation.
Su Yun had been in seclusion for an entire year after his second sermon. It was also the day of worship at the Ancestral Court of Transcendence. It was overcrowded. This time, even the foot of the mountain was filled with cultivators who had entered the Dao.
During this period, the blueprint of Great Xia’s original plan was also implemented step by step. The current Luan Platform has been completely built. The Door God Mecha was officially stationed on the Luan Platform.
The Atlan Empire and the Ice Bear Nation’s space platform had also been completed. However, they did not expect that in the fourth ruin exploration plan discovered not long ago, the strength of Great Xia’s representative team had completely exceeded their imagination.
The geneticists of the Atlan Empire had already iterated to the ninth generation. Moreover, they relied on the resources they had gathered previously to build bone armor for these geneticists.
Originally, the Atlan Empire was confident that this team could bring back more resources for them on the moon battlefield. However, they did not expect that after encountering the Great Xia team, they would be defeated in less than ten minutes.
It had to be known that everyone in this Great Xia team was a cultivator. A pioneer like Master Gu had even reached the peak of the second realm. Coupled with Great Xia’s armor technology, they had long left the other countries in the dust.
The rise in their overall strength far exceeded the imagination of other countries. It was also this battle that allowed the other countries to finally see the obvious changes after Great Xia’s reform.
In the past, Great Xia could occupy the east and stand tall because of Su Yun’s deterrence of other countries. Now, everyone was cultivating. Such strength was immeasurable. The disparity in strength was not only reflected on the moon battlefield. In the recent border friction, everyone established the legend of being undefeated again and again.
The rise of the Eastern Dragon caught all countries off guard.
In just over a year, the current Great Xia was already worlds apart from a year ago.
The world had seen how unstoppable Great Xia was today, especially on the moon battlefield. The Great Xia team had actually made the Atlan Empire and the Ice Bear Nation suffer repeatedly.
Some small countries saw this and began to secretly express goodwill to Great Xia. They even began to have the idea of joining Great Xia. The leader of the Atlan Empire was also pacing back and forth in the office, looking battered.
All along, the Atlan Empire had always tried to interpret their authority as the number one country on Earth at all costs. However, the times were different now. The strong rise of Great Xia had left the Atlan Empire with no room for negotiation.
The small countries that were originally loyal to the Atlan Empire had begun to waver. Once this situation appeared, it would become more and more intense.
Great Xia was not only threatening the Atlan Empire now. In a certain aspect, it had already explained the future of the Atlan Empire’s withdrawal from the throne of the number one overlord.
The news of the victory on the moon battlefield spread back, and a red sea immediately rose in Great Xia. Everyone cheered. The current Great Xia was finally an existence that other countries could not compare to.
All the credit was given to Su Yun. In the past year, the citizens had spontaneously established Su Yun’s statue in the various main roads.
In everyone’s hearts, Mount Shengu where Su Yun was in seclusion had even become a more sacred place than the Ancestral Court of Transcendence.
At the foot of the mountain, believers worshiped him every day, especially on important days like preaching days. There would always be a large number of cultivators at the foot of the mountain to sincerely praise the name of the Dao Ancestor.
And at the peak of Mount Shengu, Dao Ancestor Su Yun was like a rock. Although he was deep in the mountains, he held the supreme faith in the hearts of the Great Xia people.
