Wu Ming’s voice rang out.
It was domineering and direct.
There was no concession in his tone.
The Zhu Sheng Clan, kneeling outside the capital of Great Wei for three days and nights, wrote a ten-thousand-word confession.
It was a great humiliation, a humiliation that, to them, was no better than killing them.
A dead silence fell over the entire Palace of Literature.
But after a moment of silence, the voice of the Half-Saint of the Palace of Literature rang out.
“Sir, the saint must not be humiliated, and I can agree to all the conditions, but the saint must not be humiliated.”
“Otherwise, the repercussions that would ensue would be more than you and I could bear.”
“Old man can write a confession, but making old man kneel down, old man can’t do it.”
The Wen Gong Half-Sage spoke, he could agree to Wu Ming’s request, but only kneeling would not do, he was a Half-Sage and had already stepped into the Saint realm.
If he was insulted, things would not be so easy to talk about.
At that time, it was not a question of whether he should make a scene or not, but which step the world’s readers would likely take that could not be reversed.
If it came to any step, it would be a bad thing for Great Wei, for Wu Ming, for him, for the Great Wei Palace of Literature, and for the world’s living beings.
Of course the rest of the people knelt, this was fine.
But to make a half-saint kneel, it could not be done.
The sound reached the Kingdom of Chen.
What Wu Ming had done had indeed shocked the world, and made the world understand once and for all how strong the First Grade really was.
The First Grade was beyond everything.
Even the half-saints were powerless to struggle in front of the First Grade, and unless the readers of the world gathered together, they would not be able to cause any hint of influence or harm to the First Grade.
“Allow er not to kneel.”
“But lend my disciples the twelve books in Zhu Sheng’s own handwriting for a look.”
However, Wu Ming’s voice rang out, and he allowed the half-saint not to kneel, for to this extent, making the other side kneel did have an impact.
But not kneeling required a price to be paid, and the Great Wei Palace of Literature had twelve volumes of the Zhu Saint’s own writings, and Wu Ming requested that these twelve volumes be lent to Xu Qingnian to read.
To be able to read the sage’s writings, one must at least be a great Confucian and be extremely loyal to the Zhu Sheng lineage, loyal to the point of not wanting to die, in order to be qualified to read them, and one can only view one book.
Wu Ming had a huge appetite and directly requested twelve copies.
All of them were lent to Xu Qingnian to read.
The moment this was said, the entire Wen Palace was immediately embarra*sed, even they had not read these twelve books of holy words, and lending them to Xu Qingnian?
This was really something that could not be done.
This condition was even more difficult than making the Half Saints of the Palace kneel down, or at least the world’s readers were unwilling to agree to it.
Even the Half-Saints of the Palace of Literature would not dare to agree to it.
“The twelve books of holy words are of great significance, we can let Xu Qingnian view them, but we are not allowed to borrow them, and we can only take out one book.”
The Half-Sage spoke up, the greatest authority he had was to let Xu Qingnian look at one book.
The Twelve Sacred Words were of such great significance, it was one of the foundations of the Great Wei Palace of Literature, and taking one book to Xu Qingnian to read was fine.
But to take twelve books, this was obviously impossible.
“You guys really don’t see the coffin without tears, do you?”
“But I know your cards and I know what you will do.”
“There is one thing that I will tell you today, old man.”
“Great Wei, there can be more than just two First Grade martial artists, put all those nasty thoughts of yours away for old me.”
“Old man dares to kill Ru today, do you really think that old man is just a moment of courage?”
Wu Ming’s voice rang out.
His words were so stone-cold that they spread throughout the entire Central Continent, causing endless uproar.
The fact that there were two First Cla*ses in Great Wei was a matter known to the whole world.
A dynasty can give birth to a First Grade. This is a result of Qi luck, and it is reasonable for a dynasty’s Qi luck to forge a First Grade.
The reason why two First Cla*ses were born in Great Wei was because the dynasty was too strong, but the limit should be two First Cla*ses.
But now Wu Ming said that there were three First Cla*ses.
This would have to be shocking.
One First Grade could make a dynasty invincible, unless a First Grade fought a First Grade and killed each other with the same death.
Otherwise, anything bigger can happen to ensure that the country does not perish.
Two First Cla*ses can do many, many things, at least things like civil unrest, which can basically be perfectly eliminated.
Think of what three First Cla*ses could do. Who would dare to provoke them? At most, there would be some intrigue, and it must not be too obvious, and if they dare to be obvious, they will flip out.
The main thing is that the Great Wei has absolute control now.
The reason for this is not because there are so few of them, but because a real fight would have a huge impact, and one death would be a pair of deaths, and it is almost impossible to have just one death.
So when it really comes down to it, the competition is who has more one-pieces.
The Great Wei has two and the Central Continent has two dynasties, so a deadly battle would have little meaning and would instead allow forces outside the Central Continent to sit back and enjoy the benefits.
But now if there were three, it would be a completely different story.
With two dead in battle, there would still be one First Rank left, and that one First Rank would allow the Great Wei to push through the Sudden Evil and Primordial Yuan dynasties.
It was that terrifying.
So, when Wu Ming said that Great Wei had a third First Grade, it meant so much.
However, it was unclear whether it was true or not; after all, it wasn’t as if there was a rule that a First Grade could not lie.
But these words were indeed pressure, inexplicable pressure, on the Wen Palace.
Was there a third First Rank in Great Wei?
If that were the case, the role of the Great Wei Palace of Literature would be hardened by a large margin.
The Great Wei Literary Palace represents the world’s scholars, and what does the world’s scholars represent? The Haozheng qi between heaven and earth is the supreme yang force that can suppress the yin force.
Therefore, the people of the world must respect the scholars and must not kill the Confucians. When a scholar dies, the Yang power will be partly reduced, and then the Yin power will become stronger and will breed more demons.
As for the Immortal Way, the Buddhist Way and the Martial Way, they cannot stop the breeding of demons, but they can kill them, and if you breed as many demons as possible, I will kill as many as possible.
But the problem is, it’s already possible to treat the symptoms, and the readers can’t cure the root, they can only ensure that the world is peaceful.
And the reason why there are not many demons now is not because a sage came out five hundred years ago and suppressed the yin power completely.
Although the yin power is now gradually recovering again and demons are breeding, there are still many strong people under the sky, and while the four First Cla*ses in the Central Continent are explicitly First Cla*ses, there are definitely First Cla*ses in the other four continents as well.
These First Cla*ses can also do a lot of things, it’s not that without you, the Great Wei Palace of Literature, everyone won’t be able to.
In this way, under special circumstances, killing Confucian scholars is not a big deal.
The death of a half-saint would not cause any big trouble, it would just be a vision.
The meaning of Wu Ming’s words is clear: there are three First Cla*ses in Wei, the death of one half-saint is not a big deal, if you dare to rely on the old man again, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.
Killing, can never truly relieve hatred, to make the other party feel humiliated, this is the real relief.
This, he had learned a long time ago.
As for whether the Great Wei Palace of Literature believed it or not, that was their business.
Only, in the end, a voice came from within the Palace of Literature.
“Good, since it was Sir who asked, the Great Wei Palace of Literature agrees.”
“However, the Holy Book is too important and can be read but not borrowed, this is the final bottom line.”
“Xu Qingnian can come to the Great Wei Palace of Literature and read the book for three months.”
“Sir should understand the importance of this object.”
The half-saint gave his reply.
Although reluctant, although suffocating, he could not afford to gamble, plus there was no need to gamble at this time, there was little meaning.
Of course lending it to Xu Qingnian was definitely not an option, the item still had to be kept in the Palace of Literature, and it was limited to three months.
Amongst the Kingdom of Chen.
Wu Ming pondered a little, he had nothing good to say about the Great Wei Palace of Literature, so even if he killed it, what he was doing now was just to get some benefits for Xu Qingnian.
He looked at Xu Qingnian and transmitted his voice.
“What do you think? The Twelve Sacred Books, of great significance indeed, were written by the saints themselves, and will be of great benefit to you in the Confucian Way.”
“Borrowing it might not be too good, viewing it would be good, three months’ time, can you read it all?”
Wu Ming spoke out, as he asked Xu Qingnian.
“Yes! A month will do.”
Xu Qingnian couldn’t possibly spend three months to read twelve books, one month at most.
“Good.”
Hearing Xu Qingnian’s agreement, Wu Ming didn’t say anything and looked directly in the direction of Great Wei and said.
“In that case, old me will give Zhu Sheng a face.”
“But you remember this day for old me, look what you have become now?”
“If one day you will have to pay a terrible price, like animals, you are still readers? You have gone to the belly of a dog.”
These words of Wu Ming were not intentionally disgusting, but were spoken from the bottom of his heart.
This group of scholars had indeed changed their nature, and as a whole, they did not look like scholars. They were simply a group of insidious villains.
As Wu Ming’s voice rang out, the Great Wei Palace did not give a reply, but everyone knew that the matter was at an end.
However, the Great Wei Palace was not destined to rest on its laurels, but at the moment, people did not know how the Great Wei Palace would resolve the matter.
And in the Kingdom of Chen.
Wu Ming had also withdrawn all his divine powers, and at that moment, Marquis Guangyang and the others all bowed towards Wu Ming.
“We, the others, pay our respects to senior.”
All of them bowed towards Wu Ming, this was a First Grade Martial Artist, one must not disrespect.
What Marquis, what Immortal Dao powerhouse, the First Grade could not be divided that much.
Seeing the crowd paying homage, Wu Ming did not have any expression, but looked towards Xu Qingnian and said.
“Little friend Xu, come with me.”
He spoke, and then the space around him collapsed.
“Senior, is this going back?”
Xu Qingnian asked curiously.
However, Wu Ming did not speak, but took Xu Qingnian with him and disappeared into place.
For a moment, on top of the city walls, the crowd was somewhat impressed.
This First Grade was transcendent, disappearing just as soon as he said.
But soon, the crowd couldn’t help but feel even more saddened that Xu Qingnian’s master was actually a First Grade martial artist, how fierce it was.
And at the same time.
The extreme north of Great Wei.
The mountains and rivers were steep, and the land was thousands of miles of bare ground, with little gra*s or water, like a dead zone, with few living things.
The wind is strong and it seems unusually cold.
A long line of defence appears, here in the extreme north of Great Wei, adjacent to the northern barbarians.
There are four ancient cities along the line, where soldiers of Great Wei are stationed, and some hard labourers are building the line, most of whom are captives of the foreign kingdom this time.
They had come to build the defence line.
And as space distorted, Xu Qingnian and Wu Ming’s figures appeared here in all their glory.
“The Northern Border Pa*s?”
Standing on the void, Xu Qingnian knew at a glance what this place was, and he was somewhat curious, looking at Wu Ming with a puzzled expression, wondering what Wu Ming was doing by bringing him to this place.
And the next moment.
Wu Ming did not have any explanation, but stood with his hands folded and gave a soft cold hum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, above the dome of the sky at the border of the Northern Barbarians, there were instantly ten thousand miles of dark clouds, thunder flashed, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire Northern Barbarians.
In an instant, Xu Qingnian smacked his lips a little.
He did not know what Wu Ming wanted to do, but looking at this situation, could it be that Wu Ming wanted to declare war on the Northern Barbarians?
That’s a bit scary, isn’t it?
At this moment.
In the northern barbarian territory, everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky, the terrifying pressure coming over them, making them tremble.
But soon, a voice rang out.
“Seniors, calm down your anger.”
“I don’t know where I’ve provoked senior.”
“I also hope senior will calm down, there must be a misunderstanding in this.”
The voice rang out, it was a second rank martial artist from the Northern Barbarians who appeared at the border, not even daring to appear on the dome of the sky, but standing on top of the border guard, kneeling towards Wu Ming and saying.
The entire Northern Barbarian royal court was frightened, and the royal lineage was also trembling, after all, who wouldn’t panic if a First Grade martial artist suddenly came to the rescue?
The Northern Barbarians did not have any First Grade martial artists, so it was not impossible that if they were angry with them, they would simply wash away the Northern Barbarians in blood.
Of course, if the other side dared to do so, the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty would not stand by idly, they would definitely have to help the Northern Barbarians.
“Humph.”
“A group of barbarians, are you tired of living? How dare you interfere in the affairs of Great Wei?”
“Want to seek death?”
Wu Ming roared, his voice, like heavenly thunder, directly reprimanding the Northern Barbarian clan.
And the matter he was referring to was naturally the matter of the rebellion in the foreign country a few days ago.
To say that there was no shadow of the Northern Barbarians, Wu Ming naturally did not believe it, but of course this was more mainly followed by the shadow of the Sudden Evil and the First Yuan Dynasty.
It was just that they all had a pint of each other, so there was no need to scold without a definite life and death battle, nor was there any evidence.
But there was nothing wrong with finding trouble with the Northern Barbarian One, as long as they didn’t make the first move or cross the border first, then the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty wouldn’t dare to make a move.
Once this was said, the latter immediately spoke up.
“Senior misunderstood, how would we dare to interfere in the state affairs of Great Wei, there must be a misunderstanding in this.”
He gave his reply, not daring to even half resist in front of the First Grade Heavenly Might.
To resist was to die.
Snap.
The next moment, Wu Ming stretched out his hand and slapped away, the entire Northern Barbarians were like an earthquake, tens of thousands of elite iron hors*men of the border defence were directly turned into bloody mud, and this Second Grade martial artist also spat out more than blood on the spot.
The entire man flew backwards hundreds of meters away, his sternum broken by an unknown number of bones.
“Senior, the First Grade must not strike.”
Another voice rang out, but it did not dare to get angry or arrogant, just reminding the other party that the First Grade could not strike.
“Hmph.”
“The First Grade must not strike, yes.”
“But you deserve to die if you meddle in the affairs of the Great Wei.”
“This time, I will teach you a little lesson, if next time you dare to meddle with Great Wei, I will raze the northern barbarians even if I have to fight for my life.”
“Old me would like to see if the master behind you will set off a battle of the first rank because of you and the others.”
Wu Ming spoke out, speaking indifferently.
At these words, the Northern Barbarian Clan did not dare to respond and shout at all, because although Wu Ming had struck, everything was within reason, after all, the Barbarian Clan did meddle in the affairs of Great Wei.
It was quite normal to pay these prices, and it was unlikely that the First Grade powerhouses of the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty would step in over such matters, and once they did, it was highly likely that a First Grade war would be triggered.
This is the rule of the heavens, the First Grade may not conquer, but there is also a rule that once they do, they will declare war at any cost.
This means simply that even if people come to threaten Wu Ming with the Great Empress of Wei, Wu Ming absolutely cannot stop, war means death war, no hesitation at all.
He would not play with you at all.
However, after Wu Ming had said this, his gaze suddenly fell on the Northern Barbarian King’s Court.
Deep within the royal court.
A young man, dressed in a golden python robe, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was staring at himself.
Around the man hovered a golden python dragon silhouette, which had already sprouted its horns and had four claws budding under its belly, seemingly ready to transform into a dragon at any moment.
Wu Ming’s gaze instantly revealed a cold aura at this moment.
He could tell that this young man was extraordinary, having already stepped into the Third Grade, and at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Third Grade, seemingly ready to step into the Second Grade at any moment.
Moreover, his aura was so strong that he might one day be able to step into the first rank.
The northern barbarians were the biggest threat to the heart of Great Wei, and had been eyeing Great Wei, wanting to annex it and establish a barbarian dynasty.
But the Northern Barbarians did not have a First Grade, so this idea could never be achieved, so the Northern Barbarians tried everything to breed a First Grade.
Now that he saw such a genius, Wu Ming naturally had a murderous intent to kill the genius in advance so that it would not become a scourge in the future.
Boom!
A terrifying killing machine that pierced through everything and forced its way straight into the barbarian royal court, this power was a heavenly might, and the latter could not stop it at all.
But at this very moment, with a sound of bells ringing out, it dissolved Wu Ming’s killing machine.
“Seniors.”
“We will never get our hands on Great Wei again, and we also hope that senior will not lead to war.”
“The battle of invasion has also cost my barbarian tribe blood, and what happened in Great Wei today was also instigated by someone in secret, and this group of people has already been killed by us.”
“I also hope that seniors, do not start a war.”
The voice rang out, a truly strong man from the Northern Barbarians, not a First Grade, but qualified to speak to a First Grade.
“Humph.”
“Don’t wait for the old man’s next personal visit, or else, blood will be washed over you and the others.”
Wu Ming didn’t say anything more as he took Xu Qingnian and left once again.
This trip over was not to show off anything in front of Xu Qingnian, but to deal with some matters, otherwise did he really think that First Grade came out and didn’t work?
The reason why he didn’t come out to participate in things on weekdays was because of the bad influence, plus he also had other things to deal with himself, some of the mortal world’s deceitfulness, you have no time to participate.
But once they got involved, they would have to ask for a statement and a result.
Soon, after Wu Ming disappeared.
In the Northern Barbarian King’s Court, the golden python robed youth spat out a mouthful of blood directly, his face incomparably white.
Although someone had dissolved the killing thoughts of the First Grade, no matter how much they were dissolved, they could not be dissolved cleanly, unless another First Grade appeared.
He was injured, just not to the root, and he would recover after a few months of recuperation, but his gaze was filled with coldness as well as killing intent.
The next moment.
In the capital of Great Wei, the Marquis of Ping Chaos’s residence, within a courtyard.
Xu Qingnian had returned.
Wu Ming stood by the side, his face filled with a kind smile as he looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Little friend Xu, I cherish your talent, you are a martial arts genius, your future achievements are unlimited, but the more so, the more you need a famous teacher to guide you.”
“I know that you are a scholar, a great scholar of heaven and earth, but I ask you, can studying Confucianism save the lives of the world?”
“It is not that I despise you, use time to speak, with your qualifications, in less than ten years, perhaps you can become a third-grade half-saint.”
“In your lifetime, you can also become a sub-saint, if you have not offended the Great Wei Palace of Literature, or if you are willing to reconcile with the Great Wei Palace of Literature.”
“All your life, you will be free of worries, and the world will be respected, and your status will be no weaker than that of the old man, and people will worship you wherever you go.”
“But the problem is that you have already offended the Great Wei Literary Palace, and I am extremely accurate in reading people, you will never reconcile with the Great Wei Literary Palace, so your enemy is the Great Wei Literary Palace, the Zhu Sheng lineage, and the majority of the world’s scholars.”
“In that case, even if you become a half-saint, what’s the point? You can cultivate a stream of readers who support you, but you cannot make the world’s readers become your disciples.”
“The Zhu Sheng lineage, with the help of the saints, is a hundred thousand miles away from them, and even if you become a sub-saint, you can only check and balance them, but you still cannot change their prejudice against you.”
“Even when you die, most likely, you will be scorned by this group of scholars for ten thousand years, so the only path you can choose before you is to cultivate martial arts, combined with Confucianism, to crush the Zhu Sheng lineage, completely.”
“Or maybe the disciples will scatter the world and surpa*s the Zhu Sheng lineage, otherwise, you will still lose sooner or later.”
Wu Ming spoke out, he wanted Xu Qingnian to worship him as his master, but these words were not to scare Xu Qingnian either, but to seriously analyze, to stand in his shoes, to analyze for Xu Qingnian.
Hearing what Wu Ming said, Xu Qingnian actually understood in his heart.
Today, Wu Ming had taught himself a lesson, a lesson of great significance.
You can’t talk to these scholars with your mouth.
Only their fists would shut them up.
In fact, Xu Qingnian had understood this truth before, except for one reason that prevented Xu Qingnian from doing so.
It was a matter of realm, if he wanted to make these bunch of scholars shut up honestly, he himself had to become a First Grade, otherwise, he could not do it to silence the other party en ma*se.
But now Wu Ming had inspired a new way of thinking for himself, he did not need to be of the first rank, as long as he arrived at the second rank, or the third rank, he could silence most of the voices.
Of course the Confucian Dao realm must also be of the third rank.
A half-saint in Confucianism and a saint in the martial arts.
In that case, one’s can, indeed, silence most of the voices.
If one were to step into the Second Grade of Confucianism, the Realm of Sub-Saints, and then add the Second Grade of Martial Dao, the Supreme of Martial Dao.
What Wu Ming could do, Xu Qingnian could do, and what Wu Ming could not do, Xu Qingnian could also do.
But right now, Xu Qingnian was actually most worried about one thing.
The foreign arts.
If it wasn’t for this reason, Xu Qingnian would have agreed long ago.
If not for this reason, Xu Qingnian would have agreed to it long ago. If Yi Pin accepted himself as his disciple, wouldn’t it be wrong in his head not to agree?
And seeing that Xu Qingnian still had some hesitation, Wu Ming somewhat couldn’t help but speak up.
“Little friend Xu, in fact, it can still be like this, old man is going to go to recuperate in some days.”
“I can temporarily take you as my disciple, I will teach you martial arts first, if you think it is okay, then when I come out of my training, I will take you as my disciple.”
“If you don’t think it’s possible, then I’ll let it go, but there is one premise, if someone else wants to take you as a disciple as well, you must not agree to it, either agree to me or not be allowed to worship others.”
“How?”
Wu Ming was really a bit hard to bear, he was a First Grade, by definition, right, who could he not do if he wanted to take on as a disciple? If he said that he would accept the empress as his disciple, he was afraid that the empress would be moved.
But to his surprise, Xu Qingnian was so hesitant, which led Wu Ming to resort to this subterfuge, to cheat a name first and then prevent Xu Qingnian from becoming someone else’s master.
When he heard this, Xu Qingnian suddenly had some thoughts, not so much about the name.
Rather, she had overlooked one thing, this First Cla*s had things to do, and could not stay by her side all day.
For a short period of time, with the Sea of Public Opinion within oneself, the other party should not be able to feel it.
If that was the case, then what was one still worried about?
What is one’s biggest worry? It was none other than that the supernatural arts had been discovered, but one had already been in contact with Wu Ming for some time, and although it was not long, for a First Grade, if one wanted to see through a person, one could do so in an instant.
In other words, as long as one did not actively practise the supernatural arts, then naturally Wu Ming would not find out, otherwise he would have found out long ago.
So one could completely worship the master and only affect these one or two months.
After these two months, Wu Ming would only have to go back and cleanse his body of the demonic Qi, and by then he would be completely able to deal with his own affairs.
When Wu Ming was done dealing with the demonic Qi, he would almost have to go to the Demon Domain again to suppress the immortal corpse.
This way, it was really possible.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian didn’t continue to hesitate.
“Senior’s words are too much.”
“In fact, senior does not agree, not because he thinks senior is not capable, but rather because he is afraid that senior’s qualifications are slightly inferior and he is afraid of humiliating your face.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, since he could avoid the problem of the foreign arts, then Xu Qingnian had nothing more to say.
Worship the first rank.
Wouldn’t the whole world still be able to walk around? If anyone dared to look for trouble, Yi Pin would immediately appear, and a single thought would kill them.
For example, right now, one may seem to be a Fourth Grade Heaven and Earth Confucian and a Fourth Grade Martial Arts King, but the problem is that one does not know many things.
Now that he had a first-ranking scholar to guide him, why not do so?
To Wu Ming, Xu Qingnian’s words simply made Wu Ming ecstatic.
So Xu Qingnian was worried about this.
“No harm, no harm.”
“Old man never misreads people, this way, Shouren, kneel down and kowtow three times towards old man, even if it’s to pay respect to the master, heaven and earth can see that, and don’t make so many fancy things.”
Wu Ming said excitedly.
Normally come to be, worshipping a master required great salutations and many rules, but right, he was afraid that another First Grade would wake up and compete with himself after discovering Xu Qingnian.
So just hurry up and let Xu Qingnian pay homage to her master, as long as Xu Qingnian agreed to pay homage to her master, it could not be changed.
Xu Qingnian did not know why the other party did so, but did as he was told, it was a normal thing to pay homage to one’s master.
Kneeling towards Wu Ming, Xu Qingnian spoke.
“Master is above, please accept my apprentice’s obeisance.”
Xu Qingnian was not pretentious.
“Good, good, good.”
“Good disciple, good disciple.”
“From now on, you are my master’s closed-door senior disciple. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my master also has a name-bearing disciple, if we go in order of priority, you have to call him senior brother, but he is a name-bearing disciple, he should call you senior brother.”
Wu Ming excitedly helped Xu Qingnian up and said so, mentioning something.
“Senior brother?”
Xu Qingnian was a little curious.
“En, you can just call him senior brother, remembering his name won’t count for anything sequentially.”
“His name is Huo Qi, during the time of Emperor Wu, he was crowned Marquis of Champions, he is currently at the border, he might come back later, my master will inform him.”
Wu Ming said casually, seeming to be very casual about this name-taking disciple.
“Marquis of Champions?”
Xu Qingnian instantly knew who it was, the Marquis of Champions of Great Wei, a being who had been made a marquis during the reign of Emperor Wu, someone who had been made a marquis after the Northern Expedition.
He had joined the army at the age of fourteen, had participated in the battle of the Northern Expedition at the age of seventeen, and had been made a marquis at the age of twenty, and had been enthroned as a champion, so imagine how strong he was, and had had disputes with Hua Xinyun.
It wasn’t particularly surprising that such a figure would worship Wu Ming as his teacher.
It was just a little unexpected.
“En, but don’t mind him, he’s untalented, don’t follow his example, my master has given him a death warrant, if he doesn’t break the second rank by the age of thirty, he will disa*sociate himself from the relationship.”
“My master does not accept scum.”
Wu Ming spoke out, full of concern for Champion Marquis, while looking at Xu Qingnian but smiling, “However, don’t worry, disciple, you are not the same as him, you can break the second rank before you are forty, even if you are fifty I can still accept it.”
“After all, you still have to major in Confucianism, so I can understand.”
Wu Ming said with a smile on his face.
Only Xu Qingnian was really a little curious.
“Second rank by the age of thirty? Master, then wouldn’t there be a high possibility of stepping into the First Grade within a hundred years? You said earlier that there were three First Grade in Great Wei, is one of them him?”
Xu Qingnian enquired.
By the way, he asked about the three First Grades Wu Ming had said before.
However, Wu Ming shook his head and looked at Xu Qingnian with a serious face and said.
“Disciple, my master will give you your first lesson today, the system ranking.”
“You listen well.”
Wu Ming sat down cross-legged, and Xu Qingnian immediately crossed his legs as well, his eyes filled with seriousness.
He indeed had to study and learn.
“Disciple, remember well.”
“Among the Dust Realm, there are seven major systems, other than that even though there are other systems, none of them are of the first grade, but some truly crooked and evil ways that are not recognised by Heaven and Earth.”
“These seven systems are Confucianism, martial arts, immortality, Buddhism, demons, devils and evil.”
“Confucianism is ranked first because it represents the Yang power of heaven and earth.”
“Martial Dao ranks second, it is the ultimate force, called by martial arts, battle power is the strongest of the seven systems, there is no one, even the Immortal Dao first grade, can not beat the old man, of course the advantage of the Immortal Dao lies in living long, basically can boil to death two generations of first grade.”
“The Immortal Dao ranks third, its strength is only second to the Martial Dao, it lives long, so it can rank third, but among the rumors the Immortal Dao has the possibility of surpa*sing the First Grade, at least after the First Grade, the Immortal Dao still has a path to explore, but the Martial Dao is almost an extinct path.”
“Buddha Dao is ranked fourth, Buddha Sect is more comprehensive, has battle power not as good as Martial Dao, also lives long but not as good as Immortal Dao, has the ability of Confucian Dao but cannot enhance Yang Power, but the most frightening thing about Buddha Sect is that it can be enlightened or enlightened overnight, but it all has to do with the power of the thoughts of all beings, even somewhat similar to dynastic qi, there is a feeling of taking the best of each, but not as good as each of the system.”
“The demon race ranks fifth, everything in heaven and earth, the essence of gra*s and trees except people, in fact, can be called demons, and demons cultivate through two methods, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing the essence of human blood food, the former is fine, can coexist, but the latter is the demon, need to kill, only demons are born with a calamity, their emotions are difficult to control themselves, once the calamity comes, it is easy to go wrong, and wreak havoc on the people. ”
“For example, during the reign of the Great Wei Emperor, there was a great demon who did not like the bright moon, so he wanted to blast it to pieces so that the people of the world could not see it. ”
Wu Ming opened his mouth and commented on the advantages of each system, allowing Xu Qingnian to better perceive the world.
But after hearing about the Devil’s Path, Xu Qingnian smacked her lips a little.
Not liking the bright moon and wanting to blast it to pieces? This wasn’t demonic, was it? This was insanity, right?
“Master, did he blast the bright moon then?”
Xu Qingnian asked a question that she should not have asked.
“No, who in the world could blast the bright moon to pieces? Unless all the First Cla*ses in the world gathered together, there might still be some possibility, he has approached the various First Cla*ses, but the problem is, the First Cla*ses are not in their right minds, so naturally they will not agree.”
Wu Ming shook his head and replied thus.
Xu Qingnian nodded, while Wu Ming continued to add.
“However, he knew that he was already unable to blast the bright moon by himself, so whenever it came to night, he killed all those who could see the bright moon.”
Wu Ming said so, and these words made Xu Qingnian actually a little unacceptable.
What a good guy, if he couldn’t shatter the moon, he killed those who could see it? This logic was too much, right?
“What about afterwards?”
Xu Qingnian is inexplicably curious about the Devil’s Path, this group of people is simply …… The snake-oil is a snake-oil.
“And then later? The Heavenly One must have stepped in to stop it, only no one dared to fight him, they could only imprison him, and finally it was said that this great demon came up with a solution.”
“He killed himself and would never see the bright moon again.”
Wu Ming said with a straight face.
But when this was said, Xu Qingnian almost didn’t laugh out loud.
This was a F**king logic ghost.
He didn’t like the moon and wanted to blast it, but it turned out that everyone didn’t agree, so he killed people, but he found that he couldn’t kill them all and the other First Cla*ses were targeting himself.
Then kill yourself so you can’t see the moon.
What a guy.
What a good guy.
Xu Qingnian straight away exclaimed good guy ah.
This was not a deep snakebite, Xu Qingnian really did not believe it.
“In a nutshell.”
“Shouren, you must remember that when you encounter people of the demonic path, you must respect and stay away from them, they are extremely eccentric in their actions and their obsessions are too deep in their hearts.”
“In their eyes, all the prescribed laws of the world are empty talk, they only do what they think is right, and each one has extremely eccentric ideas, and there are all kinds of people in the Devil’s Way, Confucianism, Buddhism, and the Immortal Way, all with big problems in their minds.”
“If you encounter one, you must always stay away from them, and if you do encounter one, don’t act rashly, don’t rebuke them, but just go along with them and agree with their views.”
“What they hate most is people who oppose; if you agree, he will not harm you, but they must never find out that you are just going along with their wishes.”
“To put it bluntly, these people are crazy, but of course if there are people from the devil’s path who completely and utterly approve of you, it’s a good thing for you to use them, back then the great ancestor used a group of people from the devil’s path.”
“Only don’t touch them if you can.”
Wu Ming said so, his attitude was serious and grave.
Xu Qingnian nodded, he probably knew what kind of group of people the people in the Devil’s Path were.
People whose minds had gone awry.
Each was a great power, with a superb position and superb rank, but their minds were distorted, thinking about something all day long, and then their obsessions were extremely deep and they were not recognised by anyone.
In the end, he turns into a demon and becomes a madman in the eyes of ordinary people, doing things without any rules, without any rules, what he thinks is right is right, and what he thinks is wrong is wrong.
In other words, this kind of person will kill your whole family when he says so, and he will not even spare a dog.
Indeed, when you encounter this kind of person, you must be a little careful and you must stay away from them.
“Then does the Devil’s Path have a First Grade?”
Xu Qingnian continued to ask.
“There are definitely three, as far as I know, there are three in plain sight, one is a demon, one is a Buddhist disciple, and one is from the Immortal Dao.”
“The strongest one is the one who came out of the Immortal Dao, it is said that this person has dual cultivation in Immortal and Martial Arts, and his Martial Dao has also stepped into the second grade of perfection, of course he is also the one with the most abnormal brain, I heard that he is so abnormal that even the people in the Demonic Dao can’t stand him.”
“It is said that this person also likes to take on a mortal form and disguise himself as an ordinary person, some kind of scholar, some kind of beggar, some kind of fortune teller, extremely eccentric.”
“If my master encounters one, he will have to be careful, not because he can’t be beaten, but there is no need to fight such people, they are not burdened with anything.”
“You have to be careful.”
Wu Ming spoke out, saying so.
Xu Qingnian nodded, sort of understanding.
“Apprentice understands, if you encounter one in the future, be extremely careful and respectful.”
“But I think that if my apprentice stays in Great Wei’s Kyoto, he will definitely not be able to encounter them.”
Xu Qingnian said so.
If one stayed in Great Wei Kyoto, one would definitely not be able to meet such a person.
Wu Ming nodded, that was true.
Then he began to continue his explanation.
“As for the Evil Dao, it is ranked seventh, not because the Evil Dao is weak, on the contrary the Evil Dao’s strength, if you take a comprehensive approach, beats the remaining six major systems.”
“The evil dao is a true demon, like the demonic dao in general nature, everything can become an evil dao, they make use of some secret and bizarre techniques, create killings or not, bloodshed cities or not, through the resentment of all beings, hatred, blood and flesh, to enhance their own strength.”
“Cultivation, the speed is extremely fast, may be overnight than others hard cultivation twenty years, so the evil cultivation is by all the forces disgusted by the existence, also just the devil dao participate.”
“When you encounter an evil cultivator, there is no so much nonsense, there is only one word, and that is kill.”
“Shouren, do you understand?”
Wu Ming made the seven systems clear, and Xu Qingnian also considered to have thoroughly understood, one concept of these seven systems.
Confucianism, martial arts, immortality, Buddhism, demons, devils and evil.
Inside the Marquis Mansion.
Xu Qingnian also took this information and wrote it down firmly.
