Chapter 262: The Literary Sage's Tribulation

```

Preaching and bestowing virtue, is nothing but slaying demons, banishing evils, and sheltering the common folk.

Back then, when Lu Changsheng saved the citizens of Heyang City, to this day, the people still worship his portrait, providing a continuous stream of virtue for Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng resolved the catastrophe at Mount Shu, also accumulating considerable virtue.

However, if one desires to nourish the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda with virtue, turning it into a forty-nine-layer treasure pagoda, simply eliminating harm for the people would hardly accumulate the vast amount of virtue needed for the pagoda's growth.

"There is no trace of the Demon Sects in Xia State, and the Demon Race of Huang State has already submitted. Seeking to gather virtue is bound to be difficult."
