Start with a dragon egg and join the chat group

"Okay." Lu Tianyu smiled and waved to the group of grass seedlings.

After he has made some arrangements, he will head to Tokyo... After all, many of the people he admired in his past life are there, and he will also be able to resolve some regrets there.

April wouldn't come without you.

There is a cherry tree in the mountains named Liang, but the tree itself is nameless and only awaits spring.

The clash between dragon and tiger

Let's go to Tamako's market.

And that girl who kept singing "Dango Daikazoku"

.....

There are so many things there, things that are both familiar and unfamiliar.

As Lu Tianyu was lost in his memories, the train slowly started moving, and Liu Hua and the others embarked on their journey home.

Once the train was out of sight, Lu Tianyu clapped his hands and said, "Let's go back. Today, Lianhua and the others will train hard. Let's strive to make all of you third-grade battle kings before the start of the semester."

"Oh no, Brother Tianyu, why is this happening!" Xia Hai exclaimed instantly. They hadn't even had a few days of summer vacation, and now they had to start cultivating. She was even planning to go exploring Heavenly City with Lianhua and the others tomorrow...

"Objections are invalid. Now that Liu Hua and the others have awakened, they all have combat strength of around Rank 3. You all need to cultivate even harder." Lu Tianyu ignored Xia Hai's coquettishness, even though it was as easy for those little ones to defeat an ordinary Rank 3 peak cultivator as drinking water.

Seeing that Lu Tianyu was serious, Xia Hai stopped acting coquettish. Anyway, she already had a second-grade seventh dantian, and she was confident that she could break through to the third grade in a week at most.

Lu Tianyu then added, "As compensation, as long as you achieve a breakthrough before the summer vacation, I will take you on a trip to China."

This was all part of the original plan: first, to get the spiritual energy and cultivation physique of that great nation sorted out... which means activating the spiritual veins, and incidentally placing some cultivation manuals at the foot of some cliff, in the library collections of various major sects, and then...

If the little ones finish their training, he wouldn't mind taking them on a trip.

"Hooray!" Xia Hai and the others jumped up happily. They felt themselves move a lot!

For the next week, Xia Hai and the others stayed in the Heavenly City, focusing on their cultivation. Occasionally, the general store owner and Dao Hui and others would come up to cultivate for a few days... but usually, after breaking through a dantian, they would go back and relax for a few days.

.....

.....

One week later.

All of Lianhua and the other little ones broke through to the third rank. Originally, on the fifth day of cultivation, all of them except for Binchotan who started cultivating later had completed their breakthroughs. However, the little ones cultivated for two more days to wait for Binchotan to join them.

"Brother Tianyu, we've all achieved our goals!" Lianhua looked at Lu Tianyu with anticipation.

Binchotan, who had just finished his training, also looked at Lu Tianyu expectantly.

Looking at the little ones, Lu Tianyu patted Binchotan's head and said with a smile, "Let's go. I've already told Inaho and the others. Let's set off now."

“(＾－＾)V Yay!” The little ones all laughed.

Afterwards, Lu Tianyu applied a 'cognitive barrier' to each of the little ones and flew them towards China on his sword.

China, at the foot of Mount Tai.

Mount Tai, majestic and imposing, is revered as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains and is known as the number one mountain under heaven.

Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been a sacred symbol. Surrounded by the Yellow River and the Wen River, Mount Tai was regarded as the place where all things were born and developed in ancient times. There are also mysterious legends that Mount Tai was transformed from the head of the god Pangu, and is the first of the Eastern Peaks.

No mountain is greater than it, and no history is more ancient than it!

Standing before the majestic Mount Tai, the children gazed in awe at the towering mountain before them.

This was the tallest mountain they had seen outside of the City of Heaven, and in their perception, it exuded a profound and sacred aura.

Like the center of heaven and earth, it suppresses this land.

Chapter 164: Believe in Science

At the foot of Mount Tai, Lu Tianyu led the little ones, including Binchotan, on a leisurely hike towards the summit. After all, they were just kids on a trip, and given their physical abilities, the ascent wouldn't take too much effort.

All of them were climbing Mount Tai for the first time. Only by being there in person could they truly appreciate its grandeur and magnificence.

Even Lu Tianyu's Heavenly City, though soaring into the sky, lacks the sedimentation of time and history. However, Lu Tianyu believes that the most magnificent mountain in this world will ultimately be his Heavenly City... after all, the world's consciousness is himself.

As they climbed upwards, they encountered countless scenic spots, historical sites, cliff inscriptions, and steles, which left them in awe.

At noon, the group finally reached the summit of Mount Tai—the Jade Emperor Peak—and looked down upon the myriad mountains below. Gazing at the Yellow River, they immediately understood the true meaning of Confucius's saying, "Ascending Mount Tai, one sees the world as small."

"I will climb to the very top and look down upon all the mountains below!"

Looking down at the towering mountains, Lu Tianyu couldn't help but say something.

The others, including Lianhua, were also amazed by the scene before them. The clouds were right below them, and the winding Yellow River in the distance looked like a giant dragon coiled on the earth.

"Brother Tianyu, what are we here for?" Lianhua asked, looking at Lu Tianyu who was staring at the distant land.

She knew that Lu Tianyu couldn't have come here for tourism; it must be related to his spiritual energy revival plan.

"Of course, it's to usher in a new era!"

Lu Tianyu opened his arms wide, as if embracing the whole world. His arms shone with a unique brilliance in the sunlight.

This is the second step of my plan, and also the first step towards achieving complete transcendence. In Lianhua's hometown, it was only because of my relationship with Lianhua and the others. But here, it will be the first step in fully opening up a new world.

After saying that, Lu Tianyu slowly flew into the sky.

Nearby, tourists who were already drawn to Lu Tianyu and his companions by their looks and demeanor suddenly noticed that the little boy they had been watching was flying?

People pulled out their phones and started taking photos and videos.

Lu Tianyu ignored the surprised tourists; he had no intention of hiding this matter in the first place.

In the sky, Lu Tianyu closed his eyes.

The dragon veins of Mount Tai have begun to be fully activated.

This is the head of the dragon veins of this country. Once it is activated, Lu Tianyu will have accomplished most of what he needs to do next.

As Lu Tianyu activated the device, the animals on Mount Tai seemed to sense something and rushed towards the summit. Tourists along the way watched in astonishment as various animals, rarely seen in their daily lives, appeared before them.

People started taking pictures, and some even took out their phones to call the police.

As Lu Tianyu activated more and more dragon veins, on a hillside of Mount Tai, the 'Looking-at-People Pine' began to emit a verdant light, its trunk began to grow continuously, and the outline of its bark resembled dragon scales.

Famous historical sites also began to glow, and mysterious voices emanated from them, as if the legendary immortals were spreading their teachings throughout the world.

At the mountaintop, Lu Tianyu opened his eyes.

Now, the revival of the dragon vein is just one step away from completion: activating its spiritual power.

Lu Tianyu stretched out his left hand, and a ball of light appeared on it. This was the 'Dragon Vein Spirit' that he had just redeemed from the system.

It can endow the dragon vein with a soul that is full of spirituality but completely blank. After the Taishan dragon vein is revived, the blank soul will absorb five thousand years of history of this land and will automatically become the guardian of this land.

"Yan!"

A dragon's roar echoed from Mount Tai. As the 'Spirit of the Dragon Vein' appeared in Lu Tianyu's hand, the dragon vein, which had been largely revived, flew out from the mountain. Its enormous body coiled around Mount Tai, its dragon head floating opposite Lu Tianyu, staring intently at the 'Spirit of the Dragon Vein' in Lu Tianyu's left hand, its eyes filled with longing.

"Here you go." Lu Tianyu smiled gently and pushed the 'Dragon Vein Spirit' in his hand toward the 'Dragon Vein' of Mount Tai in front of him.

The next second, the dragon vein opened its enormous maw and swallowed it whole.

'Sing! Sing! Sing!'

A majestic dragon roar erupted from the sky, spreading eastward across the land as if announcing its birth. But the immense roar vanished abruptly at the eastern border.

After the dragon's roar, the Taishan Dragon Vein nodded to Lu Tianyu, its nascent intelligence filled with gratitude and attachment. It could sense that the figure before it was the will of this world... its mother?

Lu Tianyu had no idea what the dragon vein in front of him was thinking, otherwise... he would definitely have given it a good talking-to, though hitting it was out of the question. After all, he, 'himself,' was the world consciousness of this world, and this thing was like his own child. After the full recovery of spiritual energy, it would become the first god under his 'himself,' governing all the dragon veins in the world.

Lu Tianyu stepped forward, touched the massive dragon head of the Taishan Dragon Vein, and said, "You shall be called Taishan. Go. I have already transmitted everything you are supposed to do into your consciousness."

As for why the dragon vein is called this, well, I'm terrible at naming things, so I might as well just use the name of its birthplace.

After Lu Tianyu finished speaking, the dragon vein rubbed its head against Lu Tianyu's horn. Then it turned around and flew into Mount Tai.

The next second, the enormous dragon body disappeared from Mount Tai.

The tourists watched as the dragon that had been circling just moments before was completely gone. If it weren't for the photos on their phones, they would have thought they were dreaming.

After entering Mount Tai, the dragon vein swam directly into the depths of the earth, activating all the other dragon veins along the way, which then followed behind it. Deep within the earth, the dragon vein coiled and descended.

This is the center of the earth's spiritual veins. After Lu Tianyu initially activated the earth's spiritual veins, a small alternate dimension was born here.

At this moment, with the arrival of numerous dragon veins, the spiritual veins and dragon veins of the entire land of China began to be fully activated.

In various places, famous mountains and ancient sites have begun to fully recover.

At the same time, famous mountains began to grow continuously, their spiritual energy reviving. Some ancient plants began to transform into spiritual plants, radiating light.

Police across the country received reports from the public detailing the changes in their respective regions. All these reports were relayed to the central government immediately, eventually reaching even Mount Tai.

...

...

At the summit of Mount Tai, Lu Tianyu watched as the mountain grew ever larger, its structure undergoing dramatic changes. However, protected by the dragon vein, nothing on the mountain was harmed.

At this moment, a young man asked Lu Tianyu, "Hello, are you a deity?"

He had been watching Lu Tianyu complete the revival of the dragon vein and witness the dramatic changes in Mount Tai. He used to be a young man who believed in the existence of cultivators, but he had given up on that belief due to life's circumstances.

The original reason I came to Mount Tai was because, according to what I had read and in ancient history, it was one of the most mysterious places. I thought that after this trip, I would say goodbye to my youth and then go back to my hometown to follow my parents' arrangements: inherit the family's tens of thousands of cattle and marry the girl my parents liked.

He never expected to encounter something like this. His youth, which was about to end, was reignited.

Lu Tianyu looked at the excited young man in front of him and flew over. He patted the young man on the shoulder amidst his excited gaze: "Brother, this is the 21st century, we must believe in science!"

After saying that, he ignored the bewildered young man and led Lianhua and the others to fly away on their swords into the distance.

The young man watched the group fly away into the distance, then ran to the mountainside and shouted, "Is this the one you told me to believe in science?"

After shouting, the young man looked at the group that had already flown away and waved his hand dejectedly... It seems he has no destiny to become an immortal; he should just go back to his hometown and herd cattle.

As the young man turned to go home, he noticed a book in the spot where Lu Tianyu had just stood. It read: "Nine Years of Compulsory Education in Basic Cultivation."

Chapter 145 - Lotus Flower School Starts

Then, half a month passed.

After Mount Tai was revived, Lu Tianyu, along with Lianhua and others, traveled throughout the land of China. They left behind various opportunities and even sent a complete set of cultivation guides to the authorities.

After confirming the revival of spiritual energy, the authorities established a 'special department'. The plan was to first select a group of soldiers from the military to practice it, and then, once it was confirmed to be safe, to expand its use nationwide.

After Lu Tianyu had finished reviving the spiritual energy of China, he took the little ones back with him.
