My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 467: Confucianism and Taoism Breakthrough to the First Rank in One Year!

"Breaking through to the first rank?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it would be best if Confucianism and Taoism could break through to the first rank within a year." The Confucian Sage raised an eyebrow and looked at Zeng Anmin.
"how?"

"Uh...then, Master, what about me?"

Zeng Anmin stared blankly at the Confucian sage before him, pointing with great difficulty to his own:
"Do you think I can break through to the first rank of Confucianism and Taoism within a year???"

The Confucian sage frowned slightly: "You have only studied Confucianism for five years, and you are already at the second rank. I will give you a year to break through from the second rank to the first rank. That should be enough time."

Zeng Anmin opened his mouth slightly.

He really didn't know where the Confucian sage got this confidence from.

You believe me? I don't even believe myself, bro.

Zeng Shilin seemed hesitant to speak.

He opened his mouth, glanced at the Confucian sage, wanting to say something, but it seemed that... what his master said was not without reason!
It's not impossible for my grown son to break through to the first rank of Confucianism and Taoism in just one year...

After all, Zeng Anmin had only been practicing both Confucianism and martial arts for a mere five years, and he had already broken through to the upper three ranks in both.

He felt there was hope.

"hehe."

Seeing the constipated expressions on the faces of the father and son, the Confucian sage chuckled and took out a green token from his robes:

“In the past few years in the Eastern Region, I have not only been confronting the barbarian gods.”

"It also sorted out the paths of Confucianism and Taoism."

"This is my summary of all Confucianism and Taoism; you may call it the 'Outline of Confucianism'."

"Take it. With this, given your talent, breaking through to the first rank within a year won't be difficult."

Zeng Anmin and his son Zeng Shilin's eyes lit up simultaneously.

He stared at the small green plaque handed to him by the Confucian sage.

"Thank you, Master Xie!!"

Without uttering a single word, Zeng Anmin joyfully accepted the token and solemnly bowed to the Confucian sage.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing."

The Confucian sage's gaze remained fixed on Zeng Anmin.

He stared at Zeng Anmin with a smile.

The Hedao Palace was somewhat quiet.

Zeng Anmin was somewhat at a loss. He tentatively looked at the Confucian sage:

"Uh... I wonder what your intentions are in looking at me, Master?"

"I've heard that your martial arts have reached the third rank?"

"With the help of the Ancestral Dragon Diagram, you should have gained some understanding of the power of space by now, right?"

The Confucian sage's face remained smiling.

Zeng Anmin was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

The strategist must have overheard his conversation with his father in the Hedao Palace.

It's alright, it's just my own advisor.

"Fortunately, I have some insights."

Zeng Anmin scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"hehe."

The Confucian sage chuckled again, slowly raised his head, and another object appeared out of thin air in his hand.

After the object appeared, the entire Hedao Palace was in a daze for a while.

Like the space above boiling water, floating and twisting like the surface of water...

"This is……"

Zeng Anmin felt the spatial laws within his body boiling.

It seems to create a special resonance with that object.

"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl".

The Confucian sage uttered four words calmly.

These four words made Zeng Anmin dizzy.

He stared intently at the dragon ball.

"It's a pity it's incomplete." The Confucian sage waved his hand and sighed softly: "The great battle between the five ancestral gods back then was truly too tragic."

"Although this item is incomplete, it contains the origin of the spatial power of the Ancestral Dragon."

The Confucian sage slowly handed the incomplete dragon pearl to Zeng Anmin and began to speak:

"If I go to the land of the barbarians and there is no news for a long time."

"Then you shall refine this item."

"Once the Taotie is revived, use this item to banish it to the space outside the Nine Provinces Continent."

Beyond the space of the Nine Provinces continent?

Zeng Anmin was slightly taken aback; he couldn't understand what the Confucian sage meant by those words.

"Yes, the Nine Provinces continent we inhabit is but a grain of sand among countless worlds."

The Confucian sage's face showed some melancholy, and his voice carried a hint of sighing:
"Beyond this, there is a much larger and broader world."

"But the connection between these worlds is spatial turbulence."

"No life can survive in the turbulent space."

"And the spatial power you possess is the key to unlocking the Nine Provinces Continent and the spatial turbulence."

The Confucian sage fixed his gaze on Zeng Anmin and said:

"Therefore, you must absorb all the power of the laws left behind by the sealing of the Snowstorm Barbarian God."

"Then break through to the second rank, and then use the power of the seven emotions that your father stored for you with Xin Yuyin to break through to the first rank."

"At that time, by combining it with this incomplete Ancestral Dragon Pearl, we can forcibly open the spatial barrier and exile the Taotie into the spatial turbulence."

"You know all this?" Zeng Anmin was taken aback.

He was referring to the South China Sea, where he had Dongfang Cang use the Black Lotus to collect the black energy.

So those black energies were... the power of laws?
"Hmm." The Confucian sage nodded lightly: "The Kunpeng was the one I left in the South China Sea to guard the seal back then."

"The power of the laws that seal the Snowstorm Barbarian God is the power of heaven and earth that I gathered when I became a saint."

Zeng Anmin nodded absentmindedly.

"third."

The Confucian sage turned his gaze to Zeng Shilin:
"You have the best chance of reaching the level of a teacher."

"Besides your son, you yourself should also carefully study and understand that 'Confucian Classics'."

"Do you understand, Hachi?"

Zeng Shilin detected something different in the voice of the Confucian sage.

He looked up at the Confucian sage with some panic.

I want to speak.

But he stopped him.

The Confucian sage smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Enough of this idle talk; everything is my own choice."

"This journey into the wilderness was destined from the start."

"If you can't come back, you can't come back."

He looked solemnly at the father and son and said:
"If it is truly the Taotie's resurgence, he will surely use his talent to devour the entire Kyushu continent in order to break through."

"For the sake of the people's livelihood, we must not begrudge our lives."

"Three years."

"You and your son only have three years to prepare."

"I can forcefully seal off Taotie for three years using forbidden methods."

"Three years from now, you must complete the task I just assigned you, no matter what."

"Otherwise, the entire continent of Kyushu will fall into the belly of the Taotie."

Zeng Anmin and Zeng Shilin felt a slow, heavy sinking feeling in their hearts.

The two were in a daze.

When he came to his senses, the Confucian sage had already disappeared.

It was as if he had never existed.

However, the Confucian classics in their hands and the incomplete Ancestral Dragon Pearl served as reminders to them.

There is not much time left for them.

"father……"

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head to look at Zeng Shilin.

Zeng Shilin's face was extremely solemn.

He solemnly bowed three times in the direction of the desolate continent:

"Disciple will respectfully obey Master's commands!"

He then slowly rose to his feet, staring intently at Zeng Anmin, and said:

"Since Master said there are only three years left."

"Then we will strictly follow what our Master said."

"In the first year, you will first break through to the first rank of Confucianism and Taoism, and then summon Emperor Lide of the Holy Dynasty and his daughter-in-law from the Jiang Kingdom to the Hedao Palace to jointly attack the demon race and the Taoist sect."

"One year from now, you must break through to the first rank and transform the fortune of the demon race and the Daoist sect into the national fortune of my Xinyu."

"Starting from the second year, you will begin to work on breaking through to the second rank of martial arts."

"After reaching the second rank, Xin Yu will have the national fortune transformed from the fortune of the demon race and the Taoist sect, and the speed of collecting the power of the seven emotions should be much faster."

"At that time, you will break through to the first rank of martial arts."

"Hoo~" Zeng Shilin took a deep breath and looked at Zeng Anmin with great seriousness, saying:

"Every step must be completed."

"If Master returns in three years, then you and I, father and son, will have nothing to worry about."

"But what if it is that... Taotie that returns?"

Zeng Shilin squinted his eyes: "Then I, your father, will be prepared to die."

Zeng Anmin stared at Zeng Shilin's determined gaze for a while.

Then he chuckled softly:
"How could I willingly give this credit to you?"

…………

Zeng Anmin was not greatly affected.

After several peaceful yet tumultuous nights, he bid farewell to his three wives.

They then completely moved from the Holy Son's Palace into the Deep Palace of Harmony.

That was the secluded room that Zeng Shilin had specially set up for him.

After going into seclusion.

Zeng Anmin's mind was in turmoil.

He had never gone into seclusion before. This was his first time.

He has no experience in seclusion...

Fortunately, the "Outline of Confucianism," personally compiled by the Confucian sage, played a significant role.

After immersing his consciousness into the emerald green token, he saw the life of the Confucian sage.

From birth, to stepping into Confucianism and Taoism, and then step by step breaking through thorns, gradually deducing the direction of Confucianism and Taoism.

Finally, at the age of forty-eight, the Confucian sage successfully broke through to the realm of Confucian sage.

It can be said that Zeng Anmin fully understood the path of the Confucian sage through this token.

"The path my advisor followed..."

"I can't leave."

Zeng Anmin sighed.

His gaze slowly swept across the entire seclusion room.

After snapping out of his daze at the scene with the token, his expression was somewhat dazed.

Before I knew it, two months had already passed.

"I can only walk my own path."

Zeng Anmin was somewhat at a loss.

What path can I take?

"This is it, I also copied it from my previous life... uh."

Zeng Anmin's expression faltered slightly.

From a past life?

Is it fate?

"Why don't I try making a copy of the Analects?"

Zeng Anmin stroked his chin and blinked.

feasible!

Without hesitation, he took a deep breath, took out paper and pen from his preparation space, and began to write slowly...

To learn and practice what you have learned regularly is a pleasure...

When three people walk together, one of them will surely be my teacher.

Sentence by sentence.

Zeng Anmin began copying.

at the same time.

On his golden finger, an entry was slowly emitting a glow.

[The Unyielding Martial Ancestor]

While enhancing his spiritual power, it also raised his comprehension and concentration by several levels.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the second rank of Confucianism and Taoism directly in the South China Sea.

At first, he was just trying it out, wanting to see if the Confucian and Taoist classics from his previous life were useful.

But as I wrote...

He found himself increasingly fond of and increasingly clear about what he was writing.

The brush leaves marks on the rice paper.

Zeng Anmin's hands did not stop.

He kept writing.

After writing it once, his train of thought didn't stop; countless storms were brewing in his mind.

The hand continued writing.

Once.

Twice.

Three times...

Until his consciousness completely sank into chaos.

I don’t know how long it took.

Sunlight streamed into the seclusion room again and again.

The boy delivering the food changed his clothes from a thin shirt to a thick coat, and then back to a thin shirt...

Zeng Anmin had already used up all the Xuan paper in the preparation space.

The calligraphy brush is worn out.

But his hands continued.

The outline of the characters was drawn in the air.

at last.

At a certain point in time.

Zeng Anmin suddenly woke up!

"Shhh!!"

Her phoenix eyes opened.

It emitted streaks of terrifying crimson light.

"There are tens of thousands of mansions and mansions, and the world's poor people are all happy!"

Zeng Anmin's voice rang out.

He was only murmuring.

But in that instant.

The entire world seemed to have changed color!

"The Confucian way is not for the monarch, but for the people."

"We are people of this generation..."

Zeng Anmin's voice continued.

…………

"boom!!!!"

An extremely powerful sound reverberated from the Dao Integration Palace, spreading outwards in all directions!
The shock left everyone in the entire hall stunned.

At this time, in the Hedao Palace.

Two rows of figures stood respectfully.

The column on the left is oddly shaped.

These are... demons!!!
And the leader of the demon race... was none other than Kunpeng!

It had shrunk countless times, and now Kunpeng stood properly and orderly in the main hall of the Human Emperor.

And at the head of the column on the right is... the Heartless Taoist!
Behind them, Gu Xiangnan stood with her arms crossed, her gaze indifferent.

Dongfang Cang stood beside Gu Xiangnan, his hands behind his back, watching them calmly.

Over the course of a year, led by Dongfang Cang and spearheaded by Kunpeng.

The demons of Wanyao Mountain and the Taoist sects have all submitted to them.

Today is the day to reward those who have made contributions.

It was supposed to be a joyous day.

Unexpectedly, the Hedao Palace was shaken!

"Protect the Emperor!"

Dongfang Cang was the first to react and was about to step forward.

But then Zeng Shilin's voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise: "The Grand Secretary is coming out of seclusion?!"

As his voice fell.

The entire hall was silent.

Then Gu Xiangnan was the first to react, and her big eyes suddenly lit up with surprise:

"real?!"

Before Zeng Shilin could even speak...

Then a voice was heard coming from the secluded meditation room in the distance.

The sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

"We are people of Confucianism and Taoism."

"One should establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth."

"To establish a life for the people."

"To continue the lost learning of the sages."

"For all generations...to usher in an era of peace!!!"

boom! ! !
Everyone in the Hedao Palace was stunned.

The Great Holy Dynasty—everyone was stunned.

Everyone in Jiang Kingdom was stunned.

Ten Thousand Demon Mountains...

South China Sea……

Western Regions...

Everyone heard that sound!!!

…………

Inside the secluded meditation room.

Zeng Anmin exuded a chilling aura at this moment.

He slowly came to his senses.

A sharp glint shone in his eyes.

"I became..."

Zeng Anmin's voice was completely indifferent.

There were no surprises after the breakthrough.

All that remains is a detached attitude.

At the same time, a voice rang in my ears:
Congratulations on breaking through to a higher rank!
