Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

The Supreme Elder Council quickly approved the rescue plan for the modern world unanimously.

Emotionally speaking, the modern world is like the birth mother of the current Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

Of course, the decision wasn’t made solely based on emotions, but as Master Pang said, the knowledge and people of the modern world are immense assets that should not fall into the hands of West Continent forces.

"Luckily, the Earth Emperor Corpse hasn’t emerged yet, so that place is temporarily safe." Zheng Fa finally settled his emotions, making up his mind, "To save the modern world, firstly, we must rely on the All Heaven Stars Formation. With this, we have a channel to enter and exit the West Continent, and we can counter Taiyi."

"Secondly, we must find a way to prevent the Earth Emperor Corpse from emerging."

Zhang and the others nodded upon hearing this.

The All Heaven Stars Formation goes without saying.

Preventing the emergence of the Earth Emperor Corpse is more urgent. Considering the importance the Earth Emperor Corpse places on the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the next time it awakens, the modern world will face great calamity.

"We have some ideas for the All Heaven Stars Formation, but preventing the Earth Emperor Corpse from emerging..."

Master Pang showed helplessness on his face.

"Then it depends on the Maitreya Body."

...

The Maitreya Body, accompanied by Qingnv, rushed to the modern world.

As soon as the ceremony ended, he flew toward the modern world, not daring to delay for a moment.

On one hand, he wanted to ensure there were no issues in the modern world.

On the other hand, he needed to discuss a strategy with the people of the modern world.

"Zheng Fa?"

In the nursing home, Old Man Bai looked blankly at the shiny head of the Maitreya Body and asked uncertainly.

"Although I am his avatar, I am indeed different. Mr. Bai, you can call me Maitreya."

"Oh, alright, Maitreya... Tsk, that name."

Qingnv was sensing the situation in the modern world; she was a Golden Immortal and quickly understood the number and strength of cultivators in the Immortal Dao Alliance, exclaiming in surprise, "Zheng Fa is hiding a Jiushan Sect?"

It wasn’t an exaggeration.

The modern world’s education system is already complete, coupled with the Hongmeng Purple Qi accelerating time flow, now even under the Dao Fruit, the strength of cultivators can rival Jiushan Sect.

No wonder Qingnv was so amazed.

Tang Lingwu hurriedly approached, and after meeting the Maitreya Body, she directly said, "There’s no problem; we don’t even feel any changes. If you hadn’t come, we wouldn’t know we changed locations."

The Maitreya Body sighed in relief, "Then the original form can also be reassured. The top priority now is to ensure the safety of the modern world."

Qingnv observed from the side, knowing the Jiushan Sect must value this world greatly; the Maitreya Body’s words indicated their focus on this place’s security.

Tang Lingwu asked, "What’s the situation outside now?"

The Maitreya Body detailed his observations of the past few days, and Old Man Bai scratched his curly hair, saying, "So, the greatest threat to us is actually the Earth Emperor Corpse? And to suppress it, you need to maintain the Pure Land, so your objective is to re-establish Buddhist beliefs?"

"Initially, I thought so, before entering, my plan was to preach in the West Continent and establish my own Buddhist system." The Maitreya Body nodded and then said, "But looking at the situation in West Continent, it’s really difficult. Paradise Fragrance controls their believers too strongly, I can’t preach at all, let alone establish my own Buddhism."

"Since arriving, I haven’t found any way to break through."

Tang Lingwu mused for a while and suddenly said, "What if we assist you?"

"What?"

"You lack followers and manpower," Tang Lingwu quickly said, "But we have, now the population of the Immortal Dao Alliance exceeds one hundred and ten billion, almost everyone practices martial arts, and there are over ten million cultivators."

The Maitreya Body was suddenly moved, enlightened by Tang Lingwu.

Qingnv clapped her hands, "That’s a good idea; since the original people of West Continent are influenced by Paradise Fragrance, let the people of this world go to the West Continent!"

The Maitreya Body frowned slowly, "I understand your point, but the original form doesn’t want you to take risks..."

"We can’t just hide, nor can we just wait for him and the Jiushan Sect to save us," Tang Lingwu said resolutely, "Perhaps excessive protection of the Alliance is not a good thing."

The Maitreya Body was stunned; he had always seen Tang Lingwu as a gentle girl, rarely refuting others, even somewhat passive.

But now he realized... that version of Tang Lingwu belonged to the original form’s limited edition.

Indeed, after governing the modern world for hundreds of years, how could Tang Lingwu not have some sharpness?

Silent, Tang Lingwu proceeded, "There are three benefits to this matter."

"Three?"

"Firstly, with our help, you can easily establish a power, have manpower to preach, and better suppress the Earth Emperor Corpse."

The Maitreya Body nodded.

"Secondly, modern world cultivators must leave the modern world; we must prepare for the worst, if necessary, we can even give up the modern world."

The Maitreya Body understood; Tang Lingwu hoped to shift the cage and let the bird fly free. If the Earth Emperor Corpse truly revived, she wanted the modern world’s cultivators to have somewhere to go, not confining themselves to the modern world.

This perspective was something the Maitreya Body hadn’t considered, but undeniably, Tang Lingwu was very thorough.

"It’s not about whether we’re willing to go out, but we must go out. If the day comes when the Earth Emperor Corpse really arrives, we can at least establish ourselves temporarily in the West Continent."

Tang Lingwu’s words made Old Man Bai nod repeatedly, summarizing, "Colonize the West Continent!"

"That’s right."

Curiously, Qingnv asked, "What’s the third reason?"

"Resources."

"Resources?"

"The cultivator population of the Alliance is actually overflowing," Tang Lingwu explained, "If it weren’t for Xuanwei’s chaotic situation, Zheng Fa didn’t want us taking risks, we should’ve ventured out long ago."

Thinking of the term ’over ten million cultivators,’ Qingnv felt a chill.

Even though she knew, probably ninety-nine percent of these cultivators were just beginners, the resource consumption with this number was never a small matter.

"For my cultivation and the Alliance’s development, we’ve reached the stage of needing external expansion."

Tang Lingwu’s idea was conveyed back to the Jiushan Sect, and Master Pang finished reading and stared at Zheng Fa with a strange look for a while.

"Master?"

"Such a method..." Master Pang glanced at Zhang, paused, "Friend, you actually have another one?"

Zheng Fa’s gaze held a bit of pride, "She developed through self-tempest."

Honestly, Tang Lingwu wasn’t of this personality before; she was rather shy.

But Zheng Fa knew she had always worked very, very hard, until today she blooming in her own brilliance.

Zhang chimed in, "Her points make sense."

Zheng Fa silently nodded, feeling deeply touched by some of Tang Lingwu’s remarks—perhaps he indeed was too overprotective of the modern world.

Zhang continued, "Their outward expansion benefits both our original plan and themselves."

"The safety..."

"Safety is assured with Qingnv and the Maitreya Body; just take some precautions, it’s not a big problem."

"We can offer technological support."

...

Since Zheng Fa had no objections, Tang Lingwu held the highest level public speech of the Alliance in the modern world.

The Maitreya Body and Qingnv watched Tang Lingwu onscreen, stating:

"The Alliance is facing external invasion, now already in peril."

"For the sake of the Alliance’s future, the research institute has decided to dispatch cultivators, leave this world, and establish their bases in the West Continent."

"Any cultivator has the opportunity to apply, and after assessment will participate in this colonial action."

"Please note, this action involves high-risk, the Alliance does not guarantee your life safety."

"Additionally, this action offers high contribution points. Interested parties may register at local agencies."

Watching the surging crowd of applicants, the Maitreya Body suddenly felt a peculiar gratitude towards the Earth Emperor Corpse—he was worried about being isolated, but with one gesture, it sent millions of modern world cultivators his way.
