Chapter 777
That was… an endless starry sky of immortal beauty .
Vague visuals floated in the starry sky, and it was hard to understand their meanings .
In the Half City Shop, Zou Mo hadn’t had nightmares anymore after he was rescued by Mr . Fang and became an employee in the shop .
But lately, he kept having strange nightmares…
“They… will be imprisoned here forever . Their power can never pierce the endless void . They… can never rise above this world .
“But there are exceptions to everything…”
In his dreams, he seemed to see a figure, but he couldn’t clearly see this person’s face .
Before this figure was blinding golden light .
Then, he seemed to see a cup full of all kinds of horrifying alien bugs . When the lid was lifted, these horrifying existences which had been silent for a long time were disturbed and got restless .
When a pale blue spiritual light fell, he seemed to see countless bugs beginning to devour each other!
However, the scene was not clear and real . In the dreams, things were distorted, and the twisting and the struggling things seemed not to be bugs .
At this moment, a pair of eyes suddenly turned toward Zou Mo .
Instantly, Zou Mo’s hair stood on end .
“Ah!” With a shiver, he instantly woke up at the counter .
“What’s wrong?” Alarmed, Ruan Ning stood up from the seat beside him .
“So… sorry!” Zou Mo said apologetically, “Last… last night, I didn’t sleep well . ”
Meanwhile, in St . Heinz’s great hall .
“Then… in that ancient war… did anyone truly make that leap forward?” St . Dulan asked in a deep voice .
“In that war, no one made the leap,” St . Heinz said mildly, “Because… that piece of divinity… or the so-called Dao Seed in the East Continent, broke . ”
“Bro… broke?!” St . Dulan said in astonishment .
“For people in the East Continent, it needs the combination of the right time, right place, and right people . For us, we need the holy trinity!” St . Heinz explained, “So, we can only wait for another opportunity to arrive . ”
– At the Heavenly Abyss Sea –
Two figures still stood on the reef on the shore of the Heavenly Abyss Sea .
Violent gales swept across the sea .
Reminiscent glints flashed in their eyes .

“Ascendance to the True Immortal Realm is like… bugs devouring each other . ”
“The time is coming… all of the world will fall into chaos… at that time…”
“Perhaps one day, they will destroy themselves this way . ”
– In the afternoon, at the Immortal Tune Pavilion in the Heavenly Faction –
This ancient and unique pavilion was famous since the ancestral master of the Heavenly Faction had listened to immortal tune and understood Great Dao in this pavilion .
This place was the highest-level Dao-teaching venue in the Heavenly Faction .
It was heard that every person who had the privilege to teach Dao here was at least a senior member with a high position and great power . The Immortal Tune Pavilion was only opened for teaching Dao once in hundreds or even one thousand years .
In the pavilion, the fragrance of rare herbs floated around . The top spiritual scent could refresh people’s mind and help them concentrate with excellent effects . Although Mr . Fang had just decided to give a lecture on impulse, the Heavenly Faction had ordered the disciples to prepare the place with great care ahead of time . Sedately sitting on the futons in the pavilion, they looked as if they had bathed, scented, and even fasted for three days .
Sitting in the front row were the white-robed Elder Xiao Yunhe, the black-robed elder, and a few elders whom Mr . Fang had seen in the great hall .
Behind them were the six most outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Faction . Two of them, one man and one woman, sat in the center .
The white-robed man on the left with a solemn expression was the Elder Senior Disciple Zhuge Qinlong, and he was the most talented young disciple in the Heavenly Faction .
The white-robed tranquil woman sitting on the right was Yu Yin . Although she had entered the faction much later, her talent was on pair with Elder Senior Disciple Zhuge Qinlong .

Then, they saw Mr . Fang walking in from the outside .
When Mr . Fang passed, some female disciples almost had cold sweat popping out .
Cang Feng and some male disciples remembered the special effects in the visuals and also had cold sweat on their foreheads .
“Erm-hem!” He cleared his throat and said, “I didn’t know that I would be invited to give a lesson on Dao, so I’ll make it casual . ”
“This opening…??”
“Huh?”
The elders thought, This style doesn’t feel right…?
“The Dao which one can explain is not the unchanging Dao,” Mr . Fang said, “It means that Dao is something that you can understand but not to be talked about . If it’s explained, it’s no longer the permanent Great Dao; it’s only one person’s Dao . ”
[TL Note: ‘The Dao which one can explain is not the unchanging Dao’ is the first line in Dao De Jing, a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi . ]
“Hiss!” The elders sitting in the front row shivered and stared at Mr . Fang dumbfoundedly .
“The Dao which one can explain… is not the unchanging Dao?!” They chewed on Mr . Fang’s words and felt like they were deep and mysterious .
The disciples immediately memorized the words silently .
Then, Mr . Fang changed the direction of the topic . “So, we must put more thought on ourselves . ”

“More thought on ourselves?” The white-robed Elder Xiao Yunhe obviously didn’t understand .
“Yes,” Mr . Fang answered, “You’ll never fully understand it, but you can improve yourself continuously . During the process, your understanding of it will become deeper and deeper . ”
“Improve myself? Does it mean… that we must cultivate in seclusion every day in the faction?” The black-robed elder asked in bafflement .
“Of course not . ” Mr . Fang said, “Have you guys heard about… E-Sports?”
“E-Sports?!” The cultivators of the Heavenly Faction exchanged a look of confusion .
“I’ll tell you a story . ” Then, Mr . Fang began to tell them the story about the duel at the top of Hua Mountain and shattering the void .
[TL Note: These refer to classic wuxia novels . ]
“This… is E-Sports?” Xiao Yunhe asked curiously .
“No…” Mr . Fang said, “E-Sports is different . E-Sports relies on competitions in the virtual world to do this . ”
Then, he talked about E-Sports professional leagues… and all kinds of god-like pro players . He discussed the God-like UZI and Demon King Faker .
“God-like? Demon King?” The elders were truly stunned . “Senior, you mean… we can improve ourselves continuously through E-Sports and eventually become…’god-like’?!”
“But…” Xiao Yunhe shook his head and said, “Ancestral Master said that humans’ strength can never break through the natural limit set for humans .
“Not everyone has such high and unique talents as you, Senior!”
“You’re right . ” Mr . Fang spread his hands and said, “Your ancestral master only said that humans’ strength couldn’t do it, and he didn’t say anything about skills and techniques . As the saying goes, ‘skills and techniques reach Dao’ . If you don’t do E-Sports, who will?!”
“So…” Xiao Yunhe said in shock, “We… need to do the so-called E-Sports?!”
