Summer Classes: I Teach Students to Split Open Heaven with One Sword!

His cram school was on the verge of closing. To attract students and bring in traffic, Lin Ye, who had been a Taoist priest in his previous life, decided to perform “immortal arts” on a livestream and get the internet talking. He never expected the effects to look so realistic that one viewer kept asking him for days: “Streamer, your Taoist arts seem profound. I was wondering, besides the basic courses, does your cram school teach immortal cultivation too?” Thinking the viewer was just joking around and stirring things up, he replied: “We do! Come on in and we'll teach you anything!” But the very next morning, the viewer was standing at the cram school's door. Unable to let tuition money walk right in and then turn around and leave, Lin Ye could only grit his teeth and start bluffing: “Can't get your flying sword to take off? Look for the problem in yourself.” “Sure, this talisman looks ugly, but its effects will absolutely surprise you.” The cultivation techniques he taught were made up, and the talismans he drew were just random scribbles. What he didn't know was that the Flying Sword Formula he'd invented on the spot really let his student travel a thousand li in a day. The nonsense talisman he'd drawn just to get through the day could actually slay a thousand-year-old demon. As the number of students kept growing, Lin Ye began to panic, afraid he'd be arrested and sent to prison. “Fine, I'll come clean. I'm a fraud. All of this is fake!” But not only did the students refuse to believe him, they also said they wanted to learn the legendary “One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.” To prove his “innocence,” Lin Ye drew his sword in front of everyone and waved it wildly at the sky. “Look closely. There are no immortals in this world.” But in the next instant, the heavens and earth went dark, golden light blazed everywhere, and the towering Heavenly Gate swung open with a thunderous roar. The students all bowed: “Teacher, you can stop pretending. We knew it all along. You're the Supreme Dao Ancestor who can create cultivation techniques with a casual flick of your hand!”
