From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 271 The Suppression of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Settlement in the Snow

In the first year of the Confucian calendar, Zhao Xun, the new sage of Confucianism, took over the Shangyin Academy, proclaimed himself Master, established school rules, transmitted Confucianism, and dealt with strange and mysterious things.

They drive Taoism and Buddhism away from other religions and regard temples as worthless.

Taoism and Buddhism gradually declined, and the imperial palace faced south in worship.

At the end of the same year, Xu Fengnian, the heir apparent of Northern Liang, ascended to the throne of Liang, possessing five states. He then invaded the north and, in just one month, occupied one-third of the land of Northern Mang, establishing the Liang Kingdom.

The Liang Kingdom declared itself independent, but no war broke out.

As the scourge of strange creatures in the world intensified, both the Li Yang court and the various vassal kings and princes were doing their utmost to eliminate these creatures. Under Zhao Xun's call, the scholars and students of Shang Yin Academy also went to various parts of the world to establish academies, spread Confucianism and Taoism, and fight against the strange creatures. As a result, the world gradually changed from a situation of vassal kings vying for supremacy to a situation of humans fighting against strange creatures.

War is the best catalyst. In this war, Confucianism and supernatural powers spread and developed even more. Three years later, Taoism and Buddhism had completely degenerated into heretics, while Confucianism had become an unshakeable behemoth.

The phrase "suppressing all other schools of thought and exclusively honoring Confucianism" perfectly describes this situation.

From this point on, the snowy world completely entered a period of Confucian dominance.

The new Confucian sage, Master Zhao Xun, also used this opportunity to completely solidify his position, residing in the academy and looking down upon the world, becoming the only sage in the world.

The world of Joy of Life, Mount Da Dong

In a secluded palace, Li Chengqian and Zhan Doudou sat facing each other. Li Chengqian tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"So, you can't go back?"

"It's not that we can't go back, it's that we have to observe from here." Zhan Doudou's expression was not good. She was the incarnation of Jiang Zhiwei, the Sword Fairy, but in essence, she was still Zhan Doudou from the world of Joy of Life. Jiang Zhiwei's treatment of her other self was less about covering up and more about giving her a choice of other self as a cheat code. She endowed Zhan Doudou with powerful combat abilities, but did not erase her true self. But it was precisely because of this that Zhan Doudou was very frustrated to find after adjusting herself that she had knowledge far beyond this world and possessed one of the only two top combat abilities in this world, but her strength was not enough to leave this world. She even threw away the throne, which was really messed up.

After abandoning the throne and traveling the world, she returned.

That feeling of unfulfilled desire made Li Chengqian want to burst into laughter.

"Actually, you could conquer a vast territory in the West and become your empress!"

“They don’t bathe.” Zhan Doudou twitched her lips and said dejectedly, “But don’t worry, I won’t fight you for the throne. Besides, you’re not the emperor now.”

"I don't want to be emperor either, I want to go out and have some fun!" Li Chengqian said with a wry smile. "Every time you come to see me, it's not to reminisce. What instructions does that Celestial Venerable have this time?"

"What instructions could he possibly give?" Zhan Doudou pouted, looking displeased. "Is the world where your avatar resides already affected by the underworld?"

"Of course, everything is proceeding according to plan. However, the power of the underworld is very special. Although it has the shadow of the stars, its essence is different. The experience gained in fighting the power of the underworld may not necessarily be applicable to the stars."

“I know that.” Zhan Doudou nodded. “They’re saying that a galaxy of stars is about to appear, but we still have plenty of time. Different levels of beings perceive the dimension of time differently. Let’s take it slow.”

"Yes, let's take it slow," Li Chengqian said with a wry smile. He knew perfectly well what Little Meng Tianzun was planning.

With the arrival of the stars, as a newly born Celestial Venerable, he had no experience in dealing with it. Most importantly, it wasn't just him who had to face it, but the Great Luo Heaven he created. If it were just him, he wouldn't be afraid, but once the power of the stars invaded the Great Luo Heaven, he would have to manage it. Under such circumstances, he couldn't possibly take on Jinzhou alone, no, he couldn't take on the whole world. He also had to ensure that the large and small worlds within his Great Luo Heaven had the power to fight back. That's why the experiment in the Snow World came about.

By having Zhao Xun use his authority in the underworld to make a pact with the Heavenly Dao rules of the world, a passage was opened between that world and the underworld, and the power of the underworld was embedded into the Heavenly Dao rules. As a result, the power of the underworld began to infiltrate the snow world, and the strange things were born in that world.

Then, Zhao Xun would evolve Confucianism and supernatural powers in the snowy world, reform the academy, and form a comprehensive new system to test its effectiveness against the supernatural. This was Little Meng Tianzun's plan.

The snow-covered world thus became a vast testing ground. The power of the Underworld was key to the entire plan. Although the power of the Underworld was not the power of the stars, the Lord of the Underworld was deeply entangled with the power of the stars, causing chaos and loss of control in the Underworld. Naturally, the power rules of the Underworld became similar to those of the stars, making it an excellent reference point.

"The reform of the academy is complete, and various Confucian arts and supernatural powers have been passed down. In a while, the martial arts system will also be reorganized, and the Qi and Blood Martial Arts will be spread. Confucianism and martial arts will become the means for that world to fight against the strange forces. Xu Fengnian will occupy Beiliang and invade the north, becoming the world's biggest adversary. Next, we will exchange and improve with each other in the process of confrontation." Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and took a sip. "So, now, all we need to do is wait and record, and then organize all the results and experiences as reserves."

Zhan Doudou nodded, then suddenly said, "I've recently sensed another version of myself, and I'm not feeling well, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Li Chengqian raised an eyebrow, understanding her meaning. She wanted to use the opportunity of covering his dying self to travel to other worlds for fun. "No problem, but you'll owe me a favor."

"No problem," Zhan Doudou said with a smile. "Also, there's one more thing."

"You said."

"Haitang, she traveled around the Western Continent with me, but she wasn't interested, so she came back with me. She doesn't want to be disturbed, you know what I mean, right?"

"Don't worry, if all else fails, I'll go back and castrate that kid to prevent future trouble," Li Chengqian said firmly.

"You know that's not what I meant."

"I was just joking."

As they spoke, a white mist rose around them, and the next moment, they entered a misty space.

"This is truly a magical place. Xiao Meng said you're quite lucky to have unearthed such a crucial node. Once you've increased your strength, with this place as your foundation, you could at least attain the rank of Emperor in the Underworld."

After circling around in the misty space a few times, Zhan Doudou said with envy.

Li Chengqian rubbed his nose and didn't answer. As for the Yin-Yang rank, forget it. The one with the highest Yin-Yang rank is still going crazy right now. Who knows when it will be over?

"By the way, did you sense it?" Li Chengqian said with a smile. "Based on my understanding of this space, the place that attracts you the most is the almost dying me. It can be covered without any damage."

"I sensed it, it's confirmed." Zhan Doudou nodded.

"Then hurry up and go while it's hot!" Li Chengqian grinned.

brush! !

A sword light appeared out of nowhere, slicing through layers of mist.

Li Chengqian felt a sudden, sharp pain in his brain, as if a needle had pierced it. The sudden, intense pain made him let out a cry of agony.

Zhan Doudou turned around and laughed, "I have no interest in other people's bodies!"

As he spoke, he stepped out of the rift in the misty space and disappeared into the vast void.

The mist churned and, in the blink of an eye, filled the gap that had been slashed open.

"Ouch!!" Li Chengqian's face contorted as he clutched his head, cursing under his breath, "That self-righteous little fairy deserves to be abandoned by Little Meng Tianzun, ouch, it really hurts, it hurts so much... Huh? Is another one of me going to die?"

Amid his grief, he also felt a tremendous attraction.

"What a coincidence?!"
