Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The scene at the martial arts arena spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world for miles around overnight. The video of Lei Xiaodian, the young master of the Thunderclap Sect, being forced to dance to the "brainwashing song" was further embellished and exaggerated by passersby cultivators, becoming almost mythical.

This led to a serious consequence—early this morning, the gates of the Qingyun Sect were completely surrounded by a large crowd.

The once tranquil protective array outside the mountain is no longer the solemn and majestic holy land of cultivation shrouded in immortal mist, but has become... a huge open-air plaza.

The crowd was so dense that it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Not only were there disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but also enchantresses from the Hehuan Sect and tough men from the Sword Sect who had come to see the spectacle, as well as countless rogue cultivators holding magical artifacts and looking on with curiosity. Thousands of cultivators, men, women, young and old, were mixed together, and what they held in their hands were not flying swords, but... glow sticks (Jia Zang had Zhao Si go to the back mountain overnight to buy spirit-glowing grass wholesale, ten spirit stones a bunch, no cheating).

All eyes were focused on the high platform in the center of the square—it had been specially built overnight to welcome today's "Grand Finals".

There was a heavily modified "psychic heavy tractor" parked there.

The tractor had been transformed into a giant "mobile DJ booth." An 80-meter-tall giant speaker was mounted on the roof, the truck bed was filled with colorful scrolling lights, and the exhaust pipe was connected to a huge amplification array, bombarding the Qingyun Sect's protective array.

Jia Zhuang stood on the roof of the tractor, wearing sunglasses, holding a gold microphone, and his sequined suit shimmering in the wind.

Behind him stood several "lead dancers" who had been forced to "debut"—

Su Meier (Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect): With a look of utter despair, she held two glow sticks in her hands and was forced to stand in the center position.

Bai Zihua (Senior Brother of Xuantian Sect): With dark circles under his eyes and a numb expression, he looked as if his soul had been drained.

Liu Mei (Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect): Gritting her teeth, she almost crushed the glow stick in her hand.

As for the sect leader, Li Changfeng? He was currently hovering high above the clouds, covering his face and pretending not to exist.

"Hello? Sound check!"

Jia Zang patted the microphone, and his voice, transmitted through the "Lion's Roar" speaker on the tractor, instantly spread throughout the entire square, causing the protective mountain array to vibrate loudly.

"Good morning, fellow practitioners! Good morning!"

Below the stage, thousands of cultivators looked at each other, none daring to utter a sound.

"I know you all have questions in your minds right now." Jia Zhuang pushed up his sunglasses, his face full of righteousness. "You're wondering why I, Jia Zhuang, have gathered you all here? Why are we giving up cultivation and standing here in the wind?"

Someone in the audience muttered quietly, "Yeah, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Good question!" Jia Zhuang waved his hand dismissively. "Because I just discovered a 'Bug of Heaven's Dao'!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent, and everyone's ears perked up.

"What bug?" Su Meier couldn't help but ask.

"Based on my research these past few days," Jia Zang said, spouting nonsense with a straight face, "cultivating immortality emphasizes 'harmony between man and nature.' But! Our current cultivation methods are too rigid! Meditation, seclusion, and sword flight are all 'static'! While the Dao of Heaven is 'dynamic'!"

He pointed to the clouds in the sky: "Look at those clouds, rolling and unrolling; look at that wind, coming and going. The way of heaven is in motion, and we are not moving, how can we be in harmony?"

"So?" Bai Zihua had a bad feeling.

"So!" Jia Zhuang slammed on the tractor's gas pedal, the engine roaring, "I created this 'Radio Gymnastics - First Set of Immortal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique'! As long as you move to my rhythm, you can forcibly draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, achieving 'mass ascension'!"

"Nonsense!" An elder of the Qingyun Sect roared, his beard trembling with rage. "This is utter nonsense! Don't believe him!"

Jia Zang sneered, "Don't believe me? Fine! System, teach this elder a lesson!"

[Ding! Target person's 'questioning' detected. 'Synchronization rate penalty' mechanism activated!]

The next second, the elder suddenly felt his body stiffen, and he involuntarily raised his hands and began to do... chest expansion exercises to the catchy music playing from the tractor?

"One, two, three, four; two, two, three, four!"

The elder, his face flushed, roared as he did his exercises, "You bastard! Stop it! I can't control myself!"

All the cultivators present gasped in shock.

"See that?" Jia Zang pointed at the elder forced to do the exercises. "This is the 'Rhythm of Heaven'! Anyone who questions it has to do the exercises! Now, who still doesn't believe it?!"

No one dared to speak.

"Very good!" Jia Zhuang nodded in satisfaction. "Now, everyone, listen to my command! Take out your glow sticks! Swing along with me!"

"Music!"

Jia Zhuang suddenly pressed the play button.

The giant speaker on the tractor suddenly burst into a deafening DJ dance track full of tacky disco style—"The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" Xianxia Remix.

"The vast horizon is my love!"

Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills!

What kind of rhythm is the most swaying?

What kind of singing is the most joyful?

Accompanied by this catchy melody, Jia Zhuang stood on the tractor and began to lead the dance.

The action is extremely simple:

Draw a dragon with your left hand, a rainbow with your right, kick with your left foot, and step on the gas with your right foot (pretend)!

"Get moving! Everyone get moving!" Jia Zhuang roared into the microphone. "Sect Leader Su! Where's your waist?! Twist it! Senior Brother Bai! Is your sword for cutting people? It's for directing directions! Saintess Liu! Stop biting your lip, give me a smile!"

Looking at the thousands of eyes below the stage, Su Meier felt so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground. But thinking of the elder's miserable state just now, she could only grit her teeth, wave her glow stick, and sway her hips to the rhythm.

"I...I'll jump! I'll jump, okay?!"

With the sect leader taking the lead, the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, though their faces were flushed, also raised their glow sticks.

"The stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper!"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zihua also moved numbly.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Seeing this, the disciples of Qingyun Sect had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

In an instant, the most spectacular scene in the history of the cultivation world appeared on the Qingyun Sect's plaza:

Thousands of cultivators waved glow sticks in unison, dancing an extremely mesmerizing square dance to the blue smoke-belching tractor.

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky! Let me keep you with my heart!"

Standing on high ground, Jia Zang looked at the sea of ​​glow sticks covering the mountains and fields, and at the sect leaders and elders who were usually high and mighty, now twisting their bodies like a group of demons dancing wildly. His mental breakdown was about to explode.

[Ding! Detected that all cultivators in the room are currently experiencing a 'collective brain drain'!]

[Honkai Impact Value +1000! +2000! +5000!]

[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the achievement: "Dance King of the Immortal Cultivation World"!]

[System Notification: 'Group Synchronization Rate' has reached 100%! The mountain-protecting formation is being assimilated by 'Rhythm'!]

Just then, the protective array of the Qingyun Sect suddenly flashed with seven-colored light.

The originally indestructible formation actually "resonated" because of the synchronized movements of these thousands of people!

"Boom!"

The protective shield of the mountain-protecting formation actually started flashing in rhythm with the music... like it was dancing!

"See that?!" Jia Zhuang shouted hoarsely, pointing at the shimmering array. "This is the power of 'unity'! This is the miracle of 'rhythm'! As long as the movements are synchronized, even the Qingyun Sect can become a disco!"

"Stay here!!!"

With a final roar, Jia Zang struck an extremely exaggerated ending pose.

Below the stage, thousands of cultivators, panting heavily, struck their final poses.

The entire Qingyun Sect fell into a deathly silence.

Only that tractor was still tirelessly spewing out blue heart-shaped exhaust fumes.

On the high platform, Li Changfeng, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect who had just emerged from seclusion, looked at the chaotic scene of "demons dancing wildly" in the square, and at Jia Zang standing on the tractor surrounded by the crowd. He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You wicked...wicked disciple!!!"

Jia Zang, however, revealed a victor's smile as he faced the live broadcast screen in the sky.

"Hey everyone, double tap 666! That concludes today's 'Group Ascension' lesson. We'll continue tomorrow at the same time! Remember to bring your glow sticks!"

[Livestream chat]

Holy crap! I'm blind! Is this really the world of cultivation?!

[Hey, this is clearly the first-ever square dance competition in the cultivation world!]

[Su Meier's dance is so sexy! I love it!]

[This streamer is awesome! He turned Qingyun Sect into a giant dance party!]

Is this the legendary "defeat magic with magic"?
