Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 154 The Supreme Confucian Viewpoint: The Day of Inheriting Authority

it's getting dark,

The sky seemed to be covered with a semi-transparent bluish-gray veil, and the earth slowly sank into the hazy embrace.

Li Xijun's return, coupled with Zhang Fuhu's awakening, made the entire Killing Body Martial Arts School even more lively.

In particular, what came from the Killing Martial Arts School:

Li Wusheng ventured deep into the western region of the Great Snow Mountain and found a rare and precious herb that nourished the soul.

He didn't even use it to improve his cultivation in the Refining Spirit Path.

Instead, he brought back this rare and precious treasure specifically to heal his master, whose soul had been damaged.

After this kind of well-known story of repaying a debt of gratitude...

In less than a night, Li Wusheng's reputation for righteousness, respect for his teachers, and adherence to the Way rose to new heights.

Even after Li Xijun killed the God of War,

The Seven Gods Church and even various forces in the Great Sheng Dynasty learned of this matter overnight.

In the palace

Imperial Study

After a violent coughing fit, the old emperor put away the blood-stained handkerchief and looked up at Wen Zhiyin, the current head of the civil officials, sitting opposite him.

"Wenqing, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Fuhu suffered a soul attack from the Nascent Soul True Man of the Wusheng Dao Temple. Without top-grade rare and precious materials that provide soul resources, it would be almost impossible for him to wake up."

Moon Chi-in also did not display his usual obsequiousness in public, and said with a complex expression:

"And the fact that he has been able to awaken again suggests that this news is true. Li Xijun did indeed give his master a rare and precious herb that can nourish the soul."

"This person's character is indeed rare in this world; he is a person of utmost purity and integrity."

The old emperor nodded slowly upon hearing this, as if recalling something, and said softly:

"Wenqing, do you think Xijun and you share some similarities in personality?"

Moon Chi-in looked up in astonishment.

"Back then, Wenqing, to repay a debt of gratitude, you went to great lengths to force Boyan's old friend to his death. I was almost furious and wanted to expel you from the cabinet several times. But do you know why I didn't do it in the end?"

"Your Majesty is magnanimous and kind-hearted in your concern for my affairs. I am deeply grateful."

Moon Chi-in immediately bowed down.

"No, that's not it. When I mentioned this matter, I didn't mean to bring up old matters or remind you of them."

The old emperor shook his head, got up himself, and helped the other person up.

Such treatment moved Moon Chi-in, a staunch practitioner of Confucianism, but also made him realize something, and he looked at the other person.

"Wenqing, I was indeed furious at the time."

"But after Hua Daban presented the whole story of your affair with Lu Qing, I was amazed by your character."

The old emperor seemed to be reminiscing and sighing:

"Back then, Wenqing, you also came from a poor family. Your family of six was destitute, and your parents worked hard day and night to make ends meet."

"I know that you started helping with chores at home when you were only five years old, and in your spare time you helped your parents set up a stall to earn money to make a living."

"In such impoverished circumstances, Wenqing may never have the right to study, let alone have his mind opened, his soul manifested, and embark on the path of a cultivator who refines the spirit."

"When you were ten years old, it was your benefactor, a wealthy merchant surnamed Qian, who funded the construction of a library and invited a teacher to teach literacy in your hometown. This allowed you to display your natural talent. He supported you all the way, and you studied and cultivated yourself diligently until you finally became a student of the Confucian Haoran Academy."

"That wealthy merchant surnamed Qian owes you a great debt of gratitude, and back then, in order to collect national taxes, Minister Lu used harsh methods and executed that merchant surnamed Qian who evaded taxes."

"He did nothing wrong in this matter, and it's hard to say you did anything wrong in repaying his kindness."

At this point, the old emperor walked to the window of his study, gazed at the waning moon in the night sky, and sighed softly.

"Of course, I ultimately chose to suppress this matter, allowing Boyan to leave the capital and making you the Grand Secretary, which also had its own selfish reasons."

"Bo Yan was a good man, but he had the people of the world in his heart."

"Although Wenqing has his own selfish motives, his heart that values ​​gratitude is something that will allow me to entrust you with all matters of assisting him in the succession of the Great Sheng Dynasty after my death."

"His Majesty!"

Moon Chi-in bowed down again, his voice trembling.

"The great tomb is now ninety percent complete. I beg Your Majesty to grant me ten months! Ten months! I would rather bear the infamy of the world than fail to ensure Your Majesty completes the ascension ceremony for the Western Continent!"

"It's no use, Wenqing."

The old emperor shook his head, revealing an expression of complete indifference.

"For this world to break free from its constraints and achieve godhood, it needs to be unique. Even if the great tomb is repaired and the ceremony is held, I will most likely still be unable to break through the world's constraints."

"The seven Western gods are probably already waiting to see me make a fool of myself."

Moon Chi-in looked unwilling and was about to say something more, but the old emperor interrupted him:

"I never expected them to give me this ritual of becoming a god. Even if they were to bring me uniqueness, I'm afraid there would be all sorts of unknown pitfalls waiting for me."

"Wenqing, this world is vast, yet sometimes it is also very small. The reason I did not perish with the world was not only because of the foundation of the Great Sheng Dynasty, but also because there were ancient beings beyond the planets that were even more powerful than the Seven Gods."

"The so-called great tomb is nothing but a deception. What I truly care about is Li Xijun now."

Upon hearing this, Moon Jae-in was immediately shaken.

But upon hearing the following words, he realized something, and after a moment of distraction, straightened his clothes and said solemnly:

"I have been fortunate enough to rise from a commoner to the head of the cabinet as a civil official, thanks to Your Majesty's grace. I am willing to share Your Majesty's burdens whenever Your Majesty commands."

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, Wenqing."

The old emperor spoke with great candor:

"Li Xijun's future is no longer just his own; it concerns the fate of our Great Sheng Dynasty, the millions of people of the Eastern Continent, and even the future of this star."

"He previously studied under Boyan and practiced the supreme method of the convergence of the three teachings. If he wants to achieve the extraordinary talent and sage-like appearance of Boyan, who surpasses all three teachings, he needs to master the visualization method of the three teachings."

"The supreme Taoist visualization method was earned for him by Zhang Fuhu, who has awakened today, by risking his life on that day."

"I have already brought the Seven Western Churches into the Great Snow Mountain of the Western Regions to help him obtain the supreme Buddhist visualization method."

"Now he only has the supreme Confucian concept left, so I ask Wenqing to lend him a hand."

Moon Chi-in fell into deep thought after hearing this, but after a moment, he said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, although I come from the Haoran Palace and practice the supreme Confucian meditation method, I have long been sworn to never reveal it to outsiders."

"Although I am willing to enter the Haoran Academy to persuade Your Majesty, most of the great scholars there are conservative, and Li Xijun's background is ultimately unknown, so I'm afraid..."

"It's alright, Wenqing, just go ahead and do it."

The old emperor, who had anticipated this, had already safely returned to the dragon throne in the imperial study.

"At that time, we only need to tell those great scholars of Haoran Prefecture that Li Xijun has assumed power and is the second person to wield power since the beginning of the dragon, when a white dragon descended from the heavens."

"I will appoint him as a half-ruler of the Great Sheng Dynasty, much like a Confucian scholar entering the court, to counterbalance the power of the White Dragon."

These words struck Moon Chi-in like thunderclaps.

He had lost count of how many times he had been shocked tonight.

But upon hearing the words "White Dragon," he still couldn't help but tremble.

Since Emperor Gaozu slew the white serpent and unified the world, thus becoming the Red Dragon,

Each time a dynasty changes, the Heavenly Dragon and its people are classified as belonging to the Five Elements.

Throughout history, the most unique case is that of the First Dragon, who was a black dragon descending to earth.

But now...

"A white dragon has descended upon the world!"

A flash of inspiration struck Moon Chi-in, and he instantly found the answer.

"It's actually the Ninth Princess!"

For this,

The old emperor on the dragon throne did not utter a sound, responding with silence.

But in situations like these, silence is the most obvious answer.

As the head of the civil service who could become the Grand Secretary, Moon Chi-in understood all the causes and consequences almost the instant he arrived at this answer.

"Your Majesty's scheme is truly a hidden dragon with a thousand miles of hidden power."

"Now the eight princes are divided among the world, and in the southeast, there is a rebellion led by Hong Tianwang, who claims to be the second brother of the God of Light. This has attracted the attention of the world, both east and west."

"Your Majesty only needs to wait until the Ninth Princess has divided the power, and then wait for the White Dragon's power to awaken. In the future, with power and authority coexisting, even if the Great Sheng is in chaos again, it can be reunified."

The old emperor on the dragon throne remained silent, only looking at the person before him.

After expressing his feelings, Moon Chi-in bowed deeply and said in a solemn voice:

"Having received this news, I am willing to return to Dongshan Qufu and personally persuade the great Confucian scholars to come up with a set of supreme Confucian ideas for Li Xijun and Dasheng."

next day

Tianjin Boyan Mansion

This time, Li Xijun did not come alone.

Having recovered, Zhang Fuhu was now knocking on the bronze door knocker as usual.

The next moment,

This time, Li Xijun could clearly see the spiritual power emanating from Li Boyan, which had undergone a qualitative change after being baptized by the lightning tribulation.

An invisible spiritual force opened that heavy door.

Zhang Fuhu, who hadn't been here for a long time, took the lead and walked into the mansion's garden.

In no time at all, the two arrived at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"General, you've truly taken on a fine disciple."

Even though he already knew, Li Boyan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhang Fuhu appear before him.

He truly hadn't expected that Li Xijun would be able to find and obtain rare and precious materials for healing the soul, and then give them to Zhang Fuhu to use.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Fuhu's classic loud laughter echoed far and wide, startling the white cranes in the lake into flight. "Lord Boyan, Xijun also studied under you, so why envy me, old Zhang?"

The old man, quite pleased with himself, sat down on a futon nearby.

Li Boyan shook his head slightly, poured a cup of tea for the other party, and then looked at Li Xijun with increasing satisfaction.

"Now you have mastered the essence of martial arts and achieved the state of spiritual projection."

"hope-jun, you should be able to bear the opportunity you have today."

Upon hearing this, Li Xijun's breath hitched slightly, and he immediately bowed.

"Thank you, teacher."

"It's alright, you were chosen by her. Go ahead. Yuri is waiting for you in the backyard."
