"It's incredible, so after achieving the Golden Core, one cultivates a Nascent Soul within the body, and the Nascent Soul can even survive outside the physical body. In the future, one can cultivate into a Loose Immortal, and after passing the immortal tribulation, one can ascend to immortality!" After the second film ended, Zuckerberg's eyes widened.
If cultivating a Golden Core within the body was still imaginable, then directly cultivating a Nascent Soul within the body, such a exaggerated and miraculous setting, completely stunned everyone present, including Zuckerberg.
"Daniel, do the scriptures your teacher gave you mention the Nascent Soul?" Zuckerberg immediately asked Daniel beside him.
"Yes!" Daniel nodded. "But teacher only mentioned it casually. I didn't understand what an infant meant at the time. I thought it meant having to give birth to a child for cultivation. I never expected it to mean breaking the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul within the body. This is truly miraculous. I must ask my teacher for details when I get back!"
"..." Zuckerberg really wanted to ask to be brought along, to listen in as well. But he thought about how he had no relationship with this Song Hua, nor was he his brother. Most importantly, he couldn't even enter meditation yet, and he was already thinking about the Nascent Soul, which was simply laughable.
As the few people were talking, the end credits had also finished playing, and sure enough, new movie scenes appeared.
"You want to leave after arriving in the Heavenly Spirit Realm!"
"Welcome back to Fengyuan Star, my brother!"
Similarly, a few scenes flashed by quickly, roughly outlining the upcoming plot. Among them were the extremely terrifying battle scenes of the Loose Immortals who appeared at the end of the second part.
There was also an extremely beautiful woman, floating around Li Qiang's body like a ghost, and finally, everyone arrived at a magnificent planet, where countless people knelt before Li Qiang, as if welcoming his return.
"This is the third part! This is the third part's plot! I knew there would be a third part!!" Daniel exclaimed with excitement.
"Do you think this third part will also be released in 20 days?" Priscilla Chan asked curiously.
"Don't say it, it's quite possible!" Zuckerberg touched his nose and said. Since the second part was released after a 20-day interval, and the actors in the second part were unchanged, with no decrease in production quality, special effects, or story, it was a seamless and coherent work.
Therefore, this movie must have been filmed all at once and then edited and released separately, just like The Lord of the Rings before.
However, The Lord of the Rings was eager to recoup its costs, so they first edited and released the first part to earn money, and then used the earned money to continue funding the special effects and post-production for the second part, followed by the third part, creating a situation of one film per year.
And since Peter Jackson had released both the first and second parts at once this time, there was no reason why the third part wouldn't have been completed. So, the third part must also be finished and ready for release at any time. Perhaps they would see the third part within a month.
Thinking of this, Zuckerberg trembled with excitement.
The entire cinema was almost in the same state. While watching the movie, people could maintain quiet, but now that the movie had ended, many people started to shout without restraint.
Especially after the trailer for the third part was broadcast, the entire cinema erupted into joyful singing. Many people clapped and sang along with all their might. At this moment, it didn't look like the end of a movie, but rather like a carnival.
"Let's go, I'm tired!" Priscilla Chan said, rubbing her waist. Zuckerberg nodded and was about to take Priscilla Chan to leave and get some rest when Daniel suddenly called out, "Look, this poster says that the first part of "The Misty Journey" will be shown in another theater at 3:00!"
"Really?" Zuckerberg looked over and found a poster indeed stating the release information for the first part, with only five minutes left until then.
"It's already 3 AM, who would go watch a movie they've already seen!" Priscilla Chan said, and then Daniel directly rushed to the counter to buy tickets.
"This guy is crazy, the others are probably normal!" Priscilla Chan said, and then about a third of the audience leaving with them also rushed to the counter to buy tickets for the first part again.
"What the heck is this?" Priscilla Chan's eyes widened, and she found that Zuckerberg beside her was also getting restless. She couldn't help but say, "You're not going to leave me to go home alone at 3 AM, are you!"
"Of course not, I'll take you home!" Zuckerberg sighed. For Priscilla Chan's sake, he clearly couldn't watch it a third time. Although he had many more questions about the first part after watching the second, and really wanted to rewatch it, since Priscilla Chan had said so, he could only send her home first.
"Women are indeed troublesome things!" Zuckerberg muttered to himself. For the first time, he had the thought that he could live better without women.
After sending Priscilla Chan home, Zuckerberg drove his small car back home. It was only then that he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, and he fell onto the bed and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but Zuckerberg suddenly felt himself wake up, yet he was in a state of being confined.
Although he could perceive his own consciousness, he couldn't open his eyes or control his body. When he tried to get up, he felt as if a thousand mountains were pressing down on him.
At this moment, most people's reaction would probably be to try hard to break free and regain control of their bodies. If he hadn't watched the movie before, Zuckerberg would definitely have done the same.
But at this moment, Zuckerberg suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered the legendary state of meditation. Although the way he entered was somewhat muddled, it was exactly the same as the meditation state described in the movie!
So, Zuckerberg gave up the idea of breaking free from this state and instead tried to use his eyes to search for points of light... Because he couldn't control his eyes to open, he could see many sights that he normally couldn't. There were indeed some points of light present.
Zuckerberg tried to use his will to move these points of light, but these efforts almost all failed. Zuckerberg's will could not control the points of light within his sight.
Just as Zuckerberg began to doubt if this was the legendary state of meditation, a point of light suddenly moved. It felt as if it moved with Zuckerberg's brain, and then this point of light disappeared.
"I have successfully guided Qi into my body!" A surge of ecstasy filled Zuckerberg's heart, and then joy turned to sorrow. He suddenly regained control of his body and then got up from the bed.
Unfortunately, when Zuckerberg tried to re-enter the meditation state and guide Qi into his body again, he couldn't do it no matter what.
He opened his eyes to check the time and found that it was already 10 AM, and soon it would be noon.
Zuckerberg reluctantly got out of bed and tidied himself up, then returned to work with a frustrated expression. However, he also summoned his secretary and asked her to contact Jiangnan Group, stating that he wanted to visit China for an inspection and hoped Jiangnan Group could host him as a partner.
Oh, and he absolutely had to arrange a trip to Wudang Mountain.
Although the secretary found her CEO's sudden actions inexplicable, since Zuckerberg was using his personal vacation time, there were no issues. The secretary assumed her CEO just wanted a vacation and began arranging this trip to China.
Zuckerberg distractedly handled some company affairs, and then his phone rang. He found that it was Daniel calling.
"Brother, you work at that company called Weibo, right?" Daniel asked directly.
"Is something wrong?" Zuckerberg asked cautiously. He hadn't revealed his true identity, only saying that he was a middle manager at Weibo.
"Yes, I watched two movies yesterday and was greatly inspired. I feel that things like cultivation should not be enjoyed by a select few, but should be promoted so that more people can cultivate and find true meaning in life!" Daniel said.
"And then?" Zuckerberg asked with some concern. Did this guy want to borrow money from him to open a church? Borrowing money was fine, but if he invested in a church of a heretical sect, wouldn't he not be able to go to heaven after he died?
"So, I've decided to produce videos and upload them online to teach some simple cultivation methods. I've already consulted with my elder brother about this. He said that as long as it's not a secret technique of our sect, other cultivation methods can be uploaded. After all, in China, these methods can be learned without any restrictions."
"It's just that I don't understand how to produce videos online, nor how to use Weibo, so I wanted to ask you to teach me. Do you have time, and can you help me with this?" Daniel asked.
"So that's what it is!" Zuckerberg breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't asking him to spend money, and teaching Daniel how to use Weibo was a trivial matter. Besides, could he also learn cultivation from the videos?
Of course, Zuckerberg wouldn't teach Daniel himself. He didn't have the time in China, so he arranged for one of his subordinates to teach Daniel. At the same time, he ordered Weibo to give Daniel's videos a green light and provide some resource support.
"Well, I'm secretly helping the spread of Taoism. The gods of Taoism should make it easier for me to enter meditation and cultivate!"
Zuckerberg muttered to himself.
The great God could also absolve people's sins by collecting indulgences, so by helping Taoism spread, he should be able to exchange for some benefits from the gods of Taoism!
