Chapter 71: Television, Another Voice-Controlled Device

The Preaching Pearl.
Any disciples of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion knew about it. It was recorded as one of the magical powers of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion!
It was a showstopper—the symbol of supreme authority.
The Preaching Pearl was a unique treasure. It did not attack or defend. Its only function was to preach!
Sorcery and Dao skills could be transferred into the Preaching Pearl. It would transform it into visual images that could be viewed by others. It was a device to share experiences for others to learn.
Generations of knowledge could be passed down with the Preaching Pearl. It was convenient for the disciples to learn. They could see and sense what was passed down to them. They could not directly learn from it, but it was still very effective.
The recorded content was the essence of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion ancestors! The ancestors were self-taught Immortals who transcended into the Immortal Realm.
They left their Dao teachings in the Preaching Pearl. The disciples learned cultivation more effectively with it. Therefore, the Preaching Pearl was the ultimate treasure of the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion.
Although Lin Qingyun was shocked, Lin Mufeng was not. Somehow, he was more worried that the expert would not accept his gift.
The Linxian Palace gave away their Thousand-Year Black Ice. Naturally, he had to bring the Preaching Pearl!
He was glad that he made that decision. If he came here and brought a lousy gift, it would have left a bad impression. What was the point of owning all the Preaching Pearls in the world if the expert disliked him?
Li Nianfan saw the visuals in the crystal-ball-type relic. He asked intriguingly, “Television?”
‘How interesting. The Immortal Realm doesn’t have electricity, but they have a lot of relics similar to electrical items from the Mortal Realm. It’s nice to be friends with Immortal cultivators. How else would I be able to collect so many interesting relics? These things are probably useless to the cultivators, but as an ordinary mortal, I want them. I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on them without their help,’ Li Nianfan thought to himself.
Lin Qingyun had to ask. “Mr. Li, what’s…television?”
“Oh, just a small thing from where I came from,” said Li Nianfan. He smiled reminiscently. “They would play the most interesting shows in it and the most amazing content. You can pick and choose your favorite programs, too. I remember my favorite genre is martial arts.”
Sigh, there was no proper entertainment ever since he got here. How boring.
The crystal-ball-type relic was not on the same level as a television. The playtime was short and repetitive and the visual effects were not that impressive either.
Even the Firefinch CGI was miles behind what television could do.
His words blew their minds. Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun were thunderstruck by what he said. They had chills, and it made their skin crawl.
They instantly imagined it.
Where the expert came from must be Heaven. Television must be an item far superior to the Preaching Pearl! It must be an item that could save up countless sorceries and martial arts. Plus, you could pick and choose what teachings to watch! There must be all sorts of visual markings in there!
The expert loved to watch martial arts!
He was probably a battle master. He probably fought and defeated all sorts of opponents. He probably felt lonely so he chose to come down to this realm and live life as an ordinary man.
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun felt respect towards him. They would be worshipping Li Nianfan if it were not one of his pet-peeves.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said disappointingly, “This is an interesting item, but too bad the shows are boring. Is it okay if I change it?”
Was he belittling the clan’s treasure? Was he indeed too good for the Preaching Pearl?
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun slightly bowed. They did not dare to breathe.
Then, the crystal-ball-type relic shined and the visuals were gone, erasing all the recorded content!
What? What was going on?
Lin Mufeng was petrified. He felt his blood go cold.
The ancestors did not tell them that the recorded content could be erased!
He started to tear up. He felt miserable because all the precious visuals left from their ancestors were gone.
However… If their ancestors were here, they would have understood.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Haha, it does have a delete function! And it’s a voice-controlled device.”
Lin Mufeng twitched and said awkwardly, “Ha, yes.”
Li Nianfan asked, “How do you make visuals appear on it?”
“Mr. Li, you just have to imagine and recall the visuals and it’ll create visual markings for you automatically.”
“Interesting,” said Li Nianfan while holding the crystal-ball-type relic.
‘We should give it a try.’
He closed his eyes slowly and thought about visuals in his mind.
The crystal-ball-type relic shined and a thick layer of white clouds appeared in it.
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun stared attentively at the Preaching Pearl. They were curious about what Li Nianfan would think of.
Dong!
They did not know whether they imagined it, but they heard a bell toll.
Suddenly, golden lights covered the white clouds!
There were white clouds everywhere, hovering over the entire sky. Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun saw a humongous gold Buddha appear.
The Buddha was made of gold, saluting with a Namaste gesture. The Buddha looked kind and merciful.
The humongous Buddha went through the clouds which were like silk belts on the Buddha.
Vroom!
Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun breathed heavily. They felt enormous pressure from that.
How powerful and scary!
The entire realm seemed to be in the hands of the Buddha. Endless Insights were transformed into musical hums, humming in the presence of the Buddha.
They went blank like ants looking upon their ultimate maker. They felt overwhelmed by their own insignificance.
How was that possible?
How could a powerful being like that exist?
Was it at the same level as the expert?
It was not over yet.
They saw the Buddha’s palms unfold. There was an unruly monkey at the center of the palm.
The monkey was wearing full gold armor and was holding a long stick. The monkey looked arrogant.
The monkey was like an ant in comparison to the Buddha—it was tiny. Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun were extremely anxious upon the sight of the monkey. Their skin crawled and their limbs were trembling!
This, this…
Lin Qingyun was shaking and had goosebumps all over.
This scene was all too familiar. She dreamt about this countless times but she did not expect it to be this majestic.
Who would have known…that she would be able to witness it!
