Chapter 515 - 234: Chen Family’s Discourses on the World? Usage Conditions? (Part 2)
The saddest thing is, even though they destroyed the ancient site of Wudang’s Golden Summit, this incident ended up being recorded as a significant achievement in the records of those experts.
They managed to complete the inspection, research, and remodeling of the lightning protection problem at the Golden Summit, establishing the great feat of the Wudang Golden Summit lightning rod protection network.
Even their students wrote articles praising their contribution.
Such a damn great feat.
Truly, at that time, the people of Wudang felt as if they were born at the wrong time.
Otherwise...
Similarly, they regretted their own incompetence and lack of skill, completely unaware of how the previous spectacle of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak was created.
When Daoist Chen and the Sect Leader reached the Golden Summit and saw the rusty scene, he could only use his imagination to fantasize about the legendary spectacle of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak back then.
The Sect Leader, looking at the rusty scene, was also helpless and could only instruct everyone to sit down and recite the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique."
The sound of chanting rose again.
But this time, Daoist Chen and his party exchanged puzzled looks.
Because the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," which had clearly worked before, had no effect here at the Golden Summit.
This puzzled them.
"How can this be?"
"Why is it suddenly ineffective?"
"It clearly worked before."
"..."
They couldn’t believe it and hurried down to try other places, quickly discovering that the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" was effective again elsewhere.
"What’s happening?" Daoist Chen asked in confusion.
The others were also clueless.
The Sect Leader immediately instructed, "Try it all over Wudang, and see what the situation is."
All at once, the group started trying it across Wudang, and indeed, they made quite an unexpected discovery.
They found that throughout the various building complexes below the middle of Wudang Mountain, it had no effect, while it worked in places above.
And below the mountainside were more modern buildings, or places reconstructed and built according to requirements, while above were more ancient sites, carefully restored with no construction done, and no changes made to the layout.
In these places, it worked.
They began to feel that this might be related.
If only the lower areas and above couldn’t be definitive evidence, then the fact that it also didn’t work near the Golden Summit completely confirmed it.
The Sect Leader finally concluded, "It should be for this reason. As for the specifics, it can probably only be known by the Chen Family over there. It seems we need to send someone over there to gather information."
In the end, Wudang made this decision.
As for who would go to visit the Chen Family, naturally it was Daoist Chen, as in ancient times, each sect would send emissaries to travel the world.
These emissaries not only spread the sect’s teachings but also undertook acts of punishing evil and promoting the sect’s reputation.
Now it’s the digital age, what Daoist Chen does is no different from what those emissaries used to do in the past.
Now there’s the internet, allowing many things to be spread nationally from Wudang, without the internet, Daoist Chen would have to carry a sword down the mountain.
After Wudang made the decision, they naturally released an announcement video through Daoist Chen’s media account: "Wudang deeply appreciates the Chen Family for imparting the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ thus fulfilling the Taoist Sect’s inherited grace, Wudang will reciprocate with the courtesy of a disciple’s visit, expressing gratitude for this teaching."
Upon learning that Wudang had mastered the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," everyone was indeed shocked, even Chen Han felt incredulous.
He only found out when someone @ mentioned him and he clicked to check.
Previously, he had also noticed that other Taoist sects expressed ignorance, claiming they couldn’t learn the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique."
This didn’t surprise him, as the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" was something from the game system, which required the magnetic influence of a Feng Shui Array to work.
Even if those Taoist places had the complete contents of the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," it was useless.
But what he hadn’t expected was that someone actually managed to learn it, Wudang was pretty impressive; he speculated that maybe there really was a natural Feng Shui Array in Wudang, with a magnetic field resonating just right with the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique."
If so, then it really was possible.
It only meant Wudang really struck it lucky, but it’s unknown what effect Wudang would achieve after mastering the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique."
While Chen Han was thinking, Xiaoyu hurriedly ran up to him: "Senior brother, look online, Wudang learned the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ and intends to send someone over with the courtesy of a disciple’s visit to express their gratitude. Should we respond to them?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Han took out his phone to check online and indeed saw the announcement posted by Daoist Chen from Wudang.
The other party indeed expressed immense respect.
Moreover, he was also curious about how Wudang managed to learn it, so he instructed his junior sister: "Junior sister, reply to Wudang on behalf of the Chen Family, saying the Chen Family welcomes them to exchange ideas about the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique.’"
Xiaoyu nodded, received the senior brother’s instruction, and immediately went back to her own courtyard to handle it because this reply required a bit of formality, so she specially donned a plain daoist robe to respond.
This reply from Xiaoyu naturally caused a sensation online immediately, as the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" was quite the buzzword on the internet at the moment.
Now that Wudang had learned it and wanted to exchange ideas with the Chen Family, it naturally drew attention, especially from the Taoist Sect.
Over at Dragon and Tiger Mountain, upon receiving the news that Wudang had mastered the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," the Celestial Master and several mages kept staring at the big tree they’d previously mentioned hanging a rope from.
They weren’t really going to hang a rope to suspend themselves, but were reflecting, reflecting on not speaking too confidently, reflecting on not mastering it and concluding that others haven’t taught them sufficiently, without considering their own true ignorance.
