My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 467 Or, why don't you talk to Confucius directly?

As the mind begins to operate!
Li Wei's will split into hundreds of thousands of parts in an instant, and a majestic figure appeared in front of each part, beginning to question him from various angles.

Why do you want to go to the Dragon Tomb?

"What's going on between you and Ao Zi? What did you do in the Dragon Tomb?"

How were Confucius's relics restored?

"How many times did you and Ao Zi do it? What moves did you use?"

……

Hundreds of thousands of questions came crashing down like a tidal wave, operating at an unimaginable speed and constantly jumping to logical questions, leaving even the gods overwhelmed!
As the one being questioned, Li Wei was forced to answer these questions under the power of the law, and each one had to be answered immediately without any time for thought.

then,

His expression gradually became ferocious, as if he were in great pain.

But in reality, what was being challenged by the Questioning of the Mind was the Heavenly Dao 0.81. Li Wei felt nothing at all at this moment; all the ferocity was just a disguise.

The Heavenly Dao 0.81 System said somewhat speechlessly: [Dog Master, these questions are too difficult! I feel like I'm about to be overwhelmed!]

Li Wei sneered: "Don't you like it? After all, if you think of these as advanced math problems..."

I was immediately intrigued by Tiandao 0.81!
【Um? 】

As the master of the Inquiry Realm, Puhua Tianzun immediately noticed the change in "Li Wei".

Why is this kid getting more and more enthusiastic as he answers?
Is it really true that he has nothing to hide from others?

Curious, the Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation immediately instructed the Mind-Asking Realm to begin generating an analysis report.
After reading the report,

A hint of shock flashed in the Celestial Venerable's eyes!
Is it really possible for such public-spirited and selfless people to exist in this world?

According to Wen Xinjing's analysis, Li Wei's trip to the Dragon Tomb was not only to fulfill the marriage arranged by Shang Hao, but also to save his teacher and the Corpse Sister.
But he never expected the cause and effect behind it to be so significant, involving so many forces such as the Dragon Clan, Buddhism, and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance.

In order to stop their conspiracy, Li Wei deliberately threw himself into the vortex of fate, even cooperating with the Great Calamity Purifier, but unfortunately he still failed in the end!
The fact that Puhua Tianzun compared the information he received with Li Wei's answer can also indirectly confirm this point.

[From this perspective, this kid was merely used by the Great Calamity; he genuinely didn't know the reason for the Dragon Tomb's collapse.]

This is right!

In such a grand scheme of things, even the Heavenly Court could not see the whole picture, let alone a mortal.
So Li Wei was just lucky to be there!

Thinking of this, the Celestial Venerable Puhua became even more solemn: "In this collapse of the Dragon Tomb, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, the Dragon Clan, and the Buddhist sect may seem to be the winners, but in reality, their losses are no less than ours."

The Dragon Clan has lost so many supreme soldiers, and its combat strength has plummeted to rock bottom. Even the resurrection of the Ancestral Dragon cannot make up for it.

In order to complete the ritual, the Lord of the Slaughter sacrificed a significant portion of his life. It is even said that the Soul of the Slaughterer went missing as a result and has not been found to this day, undoubtedly a heavy loss.

As for Buddhism...

Not to mention that Bodhisattva Wenzhu was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, the key point is that He actually used the Buddha's light?

After the Buddha's passing, he instinctively absorbed the fortune of the entire Mount Ling and began to revive. It is said that after countless years of hardship, nine rays of Buddha light were finally born.

Now that a ray of Buddha's light has diminished, Buddha will accelerate the absorption of the entire fortune of Mount Ling, and all Bodhisattvas and Arhats will have to pay the price for it.

This move by the Buddhist temple to reopen its gates may well be intended to rekindle its fortune.

Most importantly, the Dragon Clan, Buddhism, and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance were all forced to rebel against the Heavenly Court and stand on the opposite side of it.

That's the biggest loss!
In this game, apart from the Nine Saints and Heretics, there were no winners! Could they be the masterminds behind it all?

[Or perhaps a grand scheme is being orchestrated, and Li Wei is merely a pawn in their game!]

As Puhua Tianzun pondered, Wenxinjing's questioning of Li Wei finally came to an end.

The Supreme Emperor Haotian slowly straightened his body, somewhat nervously asking, "How is it?"

Puhua Tianzun said calmly: "In a total of 10 minutes, Wenxinjing asked a total of 587.42 million questions."

After meticulous analysis, peeling back countless layers of laws, the final conclusion is...

Puhua Tianzun deliberately paused for a moment, and only after all the gods looked over did he finally speak:

Li Wei did not betray the Heavenly Court, nor did he betray Heaven and Earth; all his actions were for the sake of loyalty and righteousness.

Under the protection of Heavenly Dao 0.81, Li Wei passed the test of the Mind-Questioning Realm perfectly, without revealing any flaws among hundreds of millions of questions.

Even the most discerning gods, after seeing this massive amount of data analysis, had to admit that Li Wei was indeed without fault!

The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace finally relaxed, and all the gods began to get excited.

Since Li Wei did not betray the Heavenly Court, it means he is still a member of the Heavenly Court!

[The Great Calamity Purifiers have actually collaborated with the Heavenly Court's officials?]

This has never happened before!!

This is why the gods had to interrogate Li Wei; they needed to ascertain Li Wei's background in order to determine the relationship between the Great Calamity and him! At this moment, the gods looked deeply at Li Wei, their eyes filled with excitement.

[This wasn't just a collaboration with the Great Calamity Cleansers, but also a case where they weren't afflicted by the Great Calamity's calamity after it ended?]

How exactly did he do it?

If his method can be replicated, is it possible for other members of the Heavenly Court to cooperate with the Great Calamity?
Could it be that the Heavenly Court might even be able to cooperate with the Great Calamity?
This is a matter of life and death involving countless gods!
In particular, the Supreme Emperor Haotian stood up immediately, quickly stepped down from his throne, and grabbed Li Wei's hand.

[Hahahaha! I knew Minister Li wouldn't let me down!]

Now that you have been completely cleared of suspicion, if anyone dares to mention this matter again, I will execute them without mercy!

Therefore, the deeper the love, the more intense the hate!

Before ascending to the throne, the Heavenly Emperor truly admired Li Wei, and was therefore deeply afraid that he would go astray!
Now that Livy's suspicions have been cleared before the gods, He immediately placed even greater trust in Livy and truly included him in His inner circle of confidants.

Of course, mere enthusiasm is not enough to win over Li Wei.

So He continued to speak, offering empty promises:
【My dear minister! I am not deliberately making things difficult for you this time, but rather trying to help you!】

[Once you pass this test, no one will question your identity or loyalty in the future. Then, when I bestow upon you a divine position, no one will be able to criticize you anymore!]

You have now overcome the greatest obstacle on your path to immortality!

[I will now do my utmost to help you expand the Life Cleansing Cult System. You must become an immortal as soon as possible!]

A surge of excitement immediately flashed in Li Wei's eyes.

The reason he came back was to prepare for ascension, wasn't it?

Now that he has received the promise from the Supreme Emperor, he can finally carry out sweeping reforms of the sacred path of education.

Throughout history, whether on Earth or the planet Celestials, the more times there is war, the more important it is to "promote righteous teachings and moral guidance"!
The current situation in the Three Realms is so dire that it is time for the Holy Path of Education to be put to use. If Li Wei were to expand the Great Path at this time, the resistance would be much, much less!
Moreover, throughout history, almost every war has brought about the liberation of thought and scholarship.

Why?

Because war can break the monopoly of old academic resources.

For example, the great battles during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods forced the old interest groups to relinquish the cultivation knowledge resources they held, which led to the birth of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the most brilliant school in the history of Taoist scholarship!
Moreover, Confucius himself pioneered the path of education through war, so war itself was a catalyst for the path of education!
Li Wei has come at a perfect time!

But all of this is predicated on interests. Only with enough interests can the gods support his reforms, relinquish their divine positions to him, and agree to his joining the ranks of the immortals!
then,

The most crucial question has arrived!
The Supreme Emperor, holding Li Wei's hand, tightened his grip without him noticing, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said:
How exactly did you and Confucius collaborate?

This matter concerns a great calamity, and I dared not ask directly about it before, for fear of being tainted by the calamity.

Only after they were certain that Li Wei was innocent and still loyal to the Heavenly Court did they finally ask him the question.

After a moment of silence, Li Wei suddenly said, "Actually, I don't know what that old Deng is doing with me!"

"If I had to put it in a way, it seems like He wanted to... teach me?"

???

The gods, who were completely absorbed in their work, were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Catastrophe?

enlightenment?

Can these two words actually be put together?

I've only ever heard of the Great Calamity Purifiers killing people, never of them teaching others. What new thing are you guys up to?

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Li Wei simply said, "Why don't you go and ask Confucius directly?"

The gods were immediately startled!
[You can still contact Confucius?]

"To be precise, Confucius is right here within me!!"

The gods were stunned for a moment, and then boundless fear appeared in their eyes.

They remembered!

The calamity has shielded the Heavenly Court from the causal chain, so unless in a special area like the Dragon Tomb, they cannot access the calamity by any means!
This means that even if Confucius stood right in front of them, they wouldn't be able to see him!

And the scariest thing is...
The great calamity is still subtly influencing their thinking!

Before Li Wei reminded them, none of the thousands of gods in Heaven had considered the possibility that Confucius was still with Li Wei, nor had they taken any precautions!
Confucius managed to sneak in like that!!!

As if bitten by a poisonous snake, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven immediately let go of Li Wei's hand and ran to the side of the Three Pure Ones in one breath!
The surrounding gods were also horrified and retreated continuously, crowding together and staring at Li Wei with terrified expressions!

Newly emerging deities like Meng Shifei.

I had only heard people talk about great calamities before, but I had never witnessed one myself.
So, upon glimpsing a corner of the great calamity, they felt as if they were being licked in the mouth of some enormous creature, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, saying:
This is... the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth...
