Chapter 24 – Patriarch leads the way, collective practice

"Heh heh."

The old man with the hooked nose let out a strange laugh, "I called you here today to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect for a discussion."

"But it's not a real discussion."

"It's to trample those disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect underfoot in the guise of a discussion, as a show of strength before the coup."

"I see."

A glint flashed in Yin Sanshi's eyes as he nodded, "I understand, Master."

"Alright, you may leave. Remember to head to the Heavenly Demon Sect tomorrow for the discussion, heh heh..."

"Yes!"

After Yin Sanshi left, the old man with the hooked nose revealed a cold smile.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Luo Wuqing, oh Luo Wuqing, let's see how you handle tomorrow's situation!"

"How can the position of the leader of the demonic path be occupied by a little girl like you?"

"The leader... should belong to our Shadow Demon Sect..."

...

Nighttime.

Ning Tian lay by the window, watching the silhouette inside the room, illuminated by candlelight on the window, seemingly undressing, and felt a rush of excitement.

Just one more piece...

Just one more piece!

But as if his thoughts were heard, the silhouette inside immediately stopped moving.

Then, a cold voice rang out.

"If you want to die, keep watching."

"..."

Hearing Luo Wuqing's threatening cold words, Ning Tian pursed his lips and stubbornly said, "I'm not watching, who cares..."

"Tonight is a full moon night, so you can sleep outside."

As Luo Wuqing's words echoed, the entire room was instantly sealed with spiritual energy.

Ning Tian: "..."

"Fine! Luo Wuqing!"

Ning Tian felt indignant.

At this moment, the system's pleasant voice echoed in his mind, "Host, why be angry? Tonight is a full moon night, a perfect time for cultivation."

"Full moon night?"

Ning Tian was taken aback, recalling that Luo Wuqing had also mentioned that tonight was a full moon night.

"Yes, your wife is encouraging you to go out and cultivate to enhance your strength, so you can tell her later that the world is vast, but her husband is the greatest," the system said earnestly.

"System, why do I feel like you understand a lot?"

Ning Tian's face darkened, feeling strange at the system's tone, like an experienced elder brother.

System: "Of course, this system is well-versed in your human emotions."

"Alright, alright."

Ning Tian muttered, finding the system unusually talkative today.

It would be better if it just quietly acted as an emotionless cheat machine.

System: "Host, I know what you're thinking~"

Ning Tian: "..."

"Alright, alright, I get it, I'll go cultivate now!"

...

Within the Heavenly Demon Sect, on the highest cliff, Moonlight Cliff.

A dragon-like figure flashed by, and soon, a silhouette appeared on top.

"Look, there's someone on the cliff!"

"It looks like the Patriarch!"

"The Patriarch? Is it really the Patriarch?"

"Why is the Patriarch here so late? Judging by his posture, it seems he's cultivating?"

"Oh my!"

"So late, and the Patriarch is still cultivating. Truly worthy of being the Patriarch! So diligent!"

The appearance of a silhouette on the cliff naturally attracted the attention of many Heavenly Demon Sect disciples. When they recognized Ning Tian, they all once again admired him.

On a full moon night, the Patriarch didn't share a bed with the Empress, playing music and enjoying the moon, but instead came here to cultivate!

This is simply... simply too diligent!

"No way!"

"If the Patriarch is so diligent, how can we slack off?"

A group of disciples was instantly inspired by Ning Tian, each sitting cross-legged and beginning to cultivate earnestly!

Even some disciples who had brought female companions to the woods for some fun were suddenly filled with determination!

What fun is there to be had? We should learn from the Patriarch!

The Patriarch is so diligent!

Instantly, they abandoned their female companions, declaring, "You go, I need to cultivate!"

On the cliff, Ning Tian, sitting cross-legged, couldn't help but twitch his mouth upon hearing the disciples' discussions...

If it weren't for the fact that I got kicked out, who would want to cultivate?

Who in their right mind would choose cultivation over being with their wife?

Is that even possible?

While Ning Tian silently complained in his heart, the system's notification sounded.

[You have shocked a group of disciples, igniting their fighting spirit, reward: tenfold moonlight spiritual energy absorption speed!]

Ning Tian: "..."

This... this works too.

"In that case, let's cultivate in peace."

Ning Tian murmured, then activated the tenfold moonlight spiritual energy absorption speed!

[Activating tenfold moonlight spiritual energy absorption speed!]

[Current moonlight spiritual energy absorption speed ×10!]

Instantly, Ning Tian felt the spiritual energy surge as the moonlight bathed him!

The full moon night is when spiritual energy is most abundant, but absorbing it is not easy.

But for Ning Tian, with his tenfold moonlight spiritual energy absorption, this difficulty was no longer a challenge.

Soon, a massive amount of moonlight spiritual energy accumulated around Ning Tian, making him shine like a bright moon, silver radiance enveloping him.

"Look at the Patriarch!"

Ning Tian's unusual state was quickly noticed.

A group of cultivating disciples looked at Ning Tian as if gazing at a deity, their eyes full of admiration.

"The Patriarch is truly divine!"

"Even the moonlight spiritual energy is rushing towards him!"

In the eyes of the disciples, the vast moonlight spiritual energy seemed to automatically flow towards Ning Tian, fearing he couldn't absorb it.

Seeing this scene amazed and envied everyone.

"Can't compare, can't compare."

"We should just focus on cultivating."

Soon.

Moonlight Cliff presented a peculiar scene.

On the cliff, one person sat cross-legged, silver radiance covering his entire body, appearing very sacred.

Below the cliff, a group of people sat cross-legged, focusing on cultivation.

...

Until midnight.

Because some elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect feared disciples would waste the night on leisure, delaying daytime cultivation, they would patrol at night.

Any disciple caught outside would be punished with wall-facing.

Today, the Great Elder personally patrolled.

"Not bad, not bad."

In the sky, the Great Elder flew on his sword, stroking his beard with satisfaction, having patrolled most of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Not a single disciple was found outside.

"It seems our Heavenly Demon Sect disciples are becoming more self-disciplined!" The Great Elder smiled contentedly.

"Next location, Moonlight Cliff."

"There's a large grove there, often used by male and female disciples for certain activities. If I catch anyone, I'll cut off their tools of mischief!"

As the Great Elder spoke, he arrived at Moonlight Cliff.

"What is this..."

Seeing a large group of disciples sitting cross-legged and cultivating below the cliff, he was shocked!

"How could these little rascals have such high awareness to cultivate under the full moon!?"

He was secretly astonished.

Just then, a disciple below seemed to notice him and waved.

"Hmm?"

The Great Elder descended.

"Why are you all cultivating here?"

The Great Elder asked.

"Shh."

The disciple didn't answer but gestured for silence.

"Great Elder, keep your voice down, don't disturb the Patriarch's cultivation!"

"Patriarch?"

The Great Elder was taken aback, then looked up sharply, his expression becoming extremely colorful!

He saw Ning Tian sitting cross-legged, his body radiating silver light, as brilliant as the Milky Way!

Judging by his posture, he was... cultivating!

"Damn..."

The Great Elder felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his mind.

"The Patriarch is actually... leading by example in cultivation!"
