Chapter 712: Living by the Spring and Autumn Period

"History, inheritance, Confucianism, thought, record, soul..."

The bamboo slips and carving knife turned into concepts in the light, allowing Chu Tai to more clearly understand how Confucianism was inherited and continued.

The light in the golden lamp flickered, and a milky white glow appeared next to the faint Buddha light inside.

Chu Tai could feel that these concepts overlapped with the power of the Patriarch Emperor in some ways, or were similar to a simplified humanized version of the Patriarch Emperor. Their power was not as strong as that of the Patriarch Emperor, but it was purer.

“History stabilizes the past, inheritance connects the present, and thoughts and souls continue to move forward in records…”

The light emerging from the golden lamp in Chu Tai's palm gradually showed three colors: gold, blue and white. Among them, gold was the strongest, white was the second, and blue was the weakest.

The three lights blended together, and the soft light spread outward. Chu Tai silently blessed it with his own Dharma of [One], endowing it with some of the [Great One] principles of the embryonic form of the Tao Fruit, allowing the three lights to gather together.

Huoranzi looked at the golden lamp that suddenly changed, with obvious confusion in his eyes.

Wasn't he talking to Chu Tai about the names of those who had achieved great success in Confucianism? Why did the golden lamp suddenly change again? What happened?
However, Huoranzi could still see that the three colors of light in the golden lamp contained traces of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism respectively.

It was obvious that when Chu Tai started talking, he found the root of the Confucian and Taoist power in their world, integrated it into the golden lamp, and enhanced its power.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to congratulate, Huo Ranzi saw Chu Tai throw down the golden lamp, which fell into the second level of fate and disappeared.

In a place that Huo Ranzi could not see, the shadow of the Great Sage Teacher raised his hand and placed it where he was previously, while he himself turned into a sky full of white light and rose up.

In an instant, many Confucian scholars in this world suddenly had an epiphany, and seemed to be able to feel some power from somewhere.

The triple fate net vibrated, and all causes and conditions changed, trying to reorganize again, but the shadow of the great saint teacher whispered: "Observe the world, observe human affairs, and understand yourself..."

As he spoke, an illusory long river emerged on the bamboo slips. The water was rushing, but flowing steadily forward. Even if there was an external force impacting it, it could only merge into the river and expand its width, but could not affect its direction.

Stars of light are dancing above the long river, and the sound of childish students reading echoes in all directions, stirring up ripples above the long river and combing out the undercurrents beneath the river.

At the same time, above the second level of destiny, countless figures resonated with the people on the third level of destiny, and more Confucian scholars began to feel the power of Confucianism.

The order of humanity began to reorganize, thereby shaking the structure of the third destiny network.

This situation that destroyed the balance caused the power of Lord Dangmo to surge, rolling up and down, and could fall at any time, but Chu Tai, who was connected with him, could feel that Lord Dangmo was hesitating and unwilling to take real action.

After a moment, a sigh sounded from the heaven, and Xuannv with golden wings appeared again. She waved the long sword in her hand that was like a golden needle, and countless red lines fell from the sky.

The long river rolls, the waves surge, the bamboo slips hang high, and the white light flows.

The red line fell into it, erasing many wonders, blending into the long river, and gradually becoming a part of it.

"The sun and the moon are arranged in order, and the years are listed in succession. Spring and Autumn?"

Xuan Nu felt the power condensed on the bamboo slips, whispered its name, and then said in a cold voice: "This thing is just a product of your Confucianism. It does not record real events and has lost its truth. How can it be the foundation of history?" "It is subtle but clear, meaningful but obscure, graceful and complete, exhaustive but not dirty, punishing evil and admonishing good... Therefore, "Spring and Autumn Annals" is a classic, not history. This book is for the people to distinguish suspicion, clarify right and wrong, and resolve hesitation..."

The voice of the Great Sage echoed all around. He had no intention of refuting Xuannv, allowing her to destroy his own foundation. However, the profound meaning of the "Spring and Autumn Annals" also spread into the void along the red lines in the sky. With the help of Xuannv, it was integrated into the second layer of destiny and into the bodies of countless dead souls.

Another sigh sounded, and Chu Tai felt that the power of Lord Dangmo was also moving. The giant turtle and the giant snake turned into black and white energies and flowed down, trying to calm the previous changes and erase the traces of Confucian and Taoist power.

But Chu Tai was unwilling to do so. He had already seen what the shadow of the Great Sage Teacher wanted to do, which was quite similar to the shadow of establishing a mind for the world and a mission for the people. He mobilized his connection with the True Lord of Demon Subduing and slightly guided the power of the True Lord of Demon Subduing, so that the circulation of the yin and yang, black and white energies in the void tended to be calmed down and eliminated.

Xuannv, who wiped out the shadow of the Great Sage Teacher, felt the actions of the True Lord Dangmo and looked suddenly at this "colleague". Chu Tai felt another force appearing in the body of the True Lord, trying to interfere with the operation of his power.

He withdrew his interference, but before leaving, he slightly stimulated the will of the True Lord of Demon Subduing.

In an instant, thunder shook above the void, and the black water rolled. The power of Xuannv and Zhenjun collided violently, causing the earth above the third level of destiny to shake, the river to overflow, and natural disasters to continue.

Chu Tai took this opportunity to hide the golden lamp deeper, and cooperated with Huo Ran Zi, Luo Zhenren, Xu Shen Weng and others to stabilize the disaster situation. At the same time, he secretly guided many Confucian scholars to try to feel and awaken the power of Confucianism.

At the same time, the methods of offering sacrifice for abundance, borrowing the path to gather energy, ascending to heaven, and stealing the skin and seizing the yang that Chu Tai saw when he first entered this world have lost their effectiveness. Many similar twisted and terrifying side techniques have also lost their inheritance.

The order force of the third destiny network has become more stable, and the chaos of the second destiny network has also been curbed.

Everything was moving in the right direction, except that the original destiny had a serious deviation.

Because Chu Tai buried the golden lamp in the ancient foundation of Confucianism and Taoism, and the power in it connected the three religions, and contained Chu Tai's [One] Dharma Meaning and part of the power of the [Great One] embryonic form of Taoism, so many people in the world who were originally just practicing Taoism and Buddhism, also felt a little power like the Confucian scholars, and gained some wonderful power.

And because its foundation is the ideal embodiment of Confucianism's desire in repeated cycles, the exertion of these forces is very dependent on personal morality, which invisibly stimulates the positive atmosphere of the virtual world.

The number of corrupt officials decreased, while the number of honest and intelligent people increased. Celebrities, eminent monks, and Taoists continued to guide society toward stability and further suppressed chaos and disorder, allowing the reincarnated flowers to easily escape their original fate, and making it difficult for the demonic nature of the 108 evil stars to play out.

It seems that the layout of Xuannv and Dangmo Zhenjun in this cycle seems to have completely lost the possibility of happening.

"It's so peaceful."

Huoranzi felt the changes between heaven and earth, and obvious worry appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he stood beside Chu Tai, looking at Luo Zhenren and Zhi Zhen Elder who were gathering the righteousness of heaven and earth not far away, trying to wash away the evil in their disciples, and said with some concern: "It's a little unreal how calm it is. It seems that there will be earth-shaking changes in the next moment..."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't say such things carelessly."

Xu Shenweng, who was traveling with him, hurriedly interrupted Huo Ranzi, but Huo Ranzi retorted, "You are worried too, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way here to protect the law."

As he spoke, Huoranzi looked towards several places not far away, where stood Lu Dongbin, Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe, two of the Eight Immortals.
