Chapter 11: Tradition of Literature Saint Dao Lineage
In this book, it is explained that the nine levels of the Literature Saint build their foundation by harnessing Literature Qi, injecting it into the sea of the spirit, enlightening the mind, and accumulating the foundations.
At the eighth level, the heart is enlightened. When literary energy accumulates to a certain extent there will be a test of the heart to establish the ambition in heart.
The seventh level of Righteous Qi and the sixth level of Fate Divination are related to the abilities of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage.
When cultivation reaches the seventh level of Literature Saint, the Literature Qi in the body travels throughout the body and turns into Righteous Qi, avoiding all evils and immunity to poisons.
As for the sixth level Fate Divination, it is even more incredible. This will give Literature Saint Daoist a certain ability to divine and seek luck and avoid calamity.
It must be said that the defensive power of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage is formidable—it wards off all evils, prevents poisons, and ensures good fortune while avoiding disasters.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
However, the problem is, it seems like there are no offensive techniques at all? Could it be that scholars are afraid of death, so they invest all their points in defense?
Qin Feng felt quite ambivalent about this. As a glorious transmigrator, he would undoubtedly prefer the exhilarating feeling of breaking the sky with his fists and treading on the earth with his feet if given the choice.
But this Literature Saint Dao lineage always gave him a feeling of having power but nowhere to use it. Did it mean that before every battle with an enemy in the future, he would have to first divine his fate? Qin Feng pondered this for a moment and imagined the scene:
Enemy: “Today is your day to die!”
Himself: “Wait a moment, let me first divine my fate. Oh no, the Divination indicates great danger. This battle is a matter of life and death. Goodbye!”
This would be too embarrassing, wouldn’t it? He continued reading further in the book. It didn’t introduce the realms beyond the sixth level of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, but Qin Feng finally understood the meaning of the original treasures and imitations that Cang Feilan mentioned earlier.
The so-called original treasures are works personally created by the Literature Saint Daoist, infused with Literature Qi. These works could be poetry, calligraphy, essays, or musical compositions.
As for imitations, the name speaks for itself—they are works imitated from the original treasures.
Original treasures embody the beliefs and artistic conception of the Literature Saint Daoist. When combined with Literature Qi, these treasures gain unimaginable abilities.
The stronger the belief and the higher the artistic conception, the more powerful the abilities displayed by the original treasures. However, ordinary people cannot use these original treasures because they require Literature Qi to activate.
Just as Qin Feng was pondering this, he heard Cang Feilan’s voice behind him, “How is your reading going?”
Qin Feng shook his head, “I still have a long way to go.”
“Alright, I’ll take you back to the Qin residence today. I’ll bring you back here tomorrow.”
Qin Feng was puzzled, “Can’t I stay here? Senior Baili didn’t seem to mention any time restrictions.”
Cang Feilan blinked her pale blue eyes and replied in her cold tone, “You can’t stay overnight in the Listen To Rain Pavillion; it’s an unspoken rule. It’s normal if you don’t know.”
“I see.”
Cang Feilan had visited the Pavilion of Listening Rain many times; she probably knew more about it than he did. So, Qin Feng didn’t doubt her explanation.
“I’ll come by myself tomorrow morning; I don’t want to trouble Miss Cang anymore. I feel bad about it.”
“No!” Cang Feilan immediately refused.
Qin Feng was surprised; he had only said some polite words, why was her reaction so strong?
“Is there something wrong?” he asked.
Cang Feilan furrowed her delicate eyebrows, pondered for a moment, then replied, “The demonic evil that invaded Jinyang City still hasn’t been found. You’re just an ordinary scholar, coming and going late at night. If you encounter that demonic evil, accidents might happen. As a member of the Demonic Slayer Department and having some acquaintance with your father, I can’t let you fall into danger. It’s safer for you to come with me.”
Qin Feng was delighted by her concern. “Miss Cang is so concerned about me; there must be a place for me in her heart. I wonder if there’s a chance to win her over. It doesn’t matter if she’s beautiful or not; what’s important is to find genuine love in this unfamiliar world...”
Wait a minute, why does this sound like one of life’s three major illusions?
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of a possibility. He tested, “Miss Cang, could it be that you’re afraid you won’t be able to enter the Listen To Rain Pavillion alone?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Cang Feilan’s eyes flickered with panic, then she strode away, not looking back.
It really was the reason. Qin Feng smirked; his beautiful dream shattered in an instant.
