Kyoto, Great Wei.
In the middle of the Marquis of Ping Chaos’s residence.
Wu Ming’s voice continued to ring out.
After he had finished talking about the seven systems, the next step was the martial dao system.
“Disciple, of the ten grades of martial dao, the first six grades, my master will not talk to you more.”
“Let’s start with the kings.”
“The fourth grade of the martial dao is the king realm, and the true qi in the body will also turn into king dao true qi, and the true qi takes form, the limit of the martial dao of mortals.”
“A fourth grade king, with the power of a single punch, can blast a restaurant to pieces, a powerful king can blast a thirty foot tall building to pieces, but only to that extent.”
“The real turning point is the third rank!”
“Shouren, listen carefully to what my master says next.”
Wu Ming expounded on the Fourth Grade King Realm in general, just a simple description.
But the next thing was what he was really going to say.
“You speak, Master.”
Xu Qingnian listened with rapt attention, all this knowledge was what he wanted to know.
“In our eyes, there are seven systems, each divided into ten grades, but the first seven grades are all foundation building and cultivation.”
“The first seven grades can all only be considered the limit of mortal bodies, and only when one steps into the third grade is one truly considered to be at the door.”
“From the fourth grade of the martial path onwards, it is truly one grade and one heaven, each grade, there is a difference of a hundred thousand miles and it is difficult to complete the leap.”
“The third grade of Martial Dao is called Martial Dao Entering Sainthood, where every move and every movement can lead to partial changes in the heavenly phenomena, possessing incredible power, and taking the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of armies.”
“Martial Dao Second Grade, named Martial Dao Supreme, a finger breaks a river, a sword breaks a city, ten thousand miles away, kills people in invisible, and will only be limited by other than the First Grade as well as the power of heaven and earth.”
“And this power of heaven and earth represents many, such as the people’s public opinion, such as the power of the readers, such as the power of belief, etc., all are considered the power of heaven and earth.”
“In other words, when you reach the second rank, you are basically the strongest battle power.”
“And the first rank, is above everything, can ignore the power of heaven and earth, for example, Shouren, you have public opinion within you, this is the power of heaven and earth, if the second rank were to kill you, there would be repercussions, there would be scruples.”
“Even if you were to become a saint, the Second Grade would not dare to kill you even if they wanted to, because they wouldn’t see the possibility of killing you, and after killing you they might have to pay a terrible price and be disgusted by Heaven and Earth.”
“But the First Grade can be ignored, as long as you don’t become a First Grade Literature Saint, then all the First Grade can be killed, and even if you become a Literature Saint, if you push a First Grade martial artist, you can still be killed if you should, only that the Literature Saint also has the means to stop it.”
Wu Ming said the difference between the last three grades.
The third grade was extremely powerful in battle, and could invoke heavenly images, possessing incredible power and transcendence on top.
The second grade was almost invincible, with unparalleled battle power, but the only limitation was the power of heaven and earth, with many restrictions.
The First Grade is a heaven-destroying existence, and as long as it is not a First Grade Literature Saint, all others can be killed.
Xu Qingnian sort of understood, but still had some doubts and could not help but speak.
“Master, according to what you mean, this Second Grade seems to have too many restrictions.”
Xu Qingnian enquired.
There was nothing wrong with the first and third grades, but this second grade seemed to be somewhat restrictive.
“En, the second rank is indeed extremely restricted because they have to impact the first rank, and to become the first rank, not only do they have to be strong themselves, but more importantly, get their qi boosted, such as if they go and kill someone with the power of heaven and earth.”
“It would compromise their own Qi luck, so that it would be difficult to break through.”
Wu Ming replied.
“Understood.” Xu Qingnian nodded, then continued to ask, “Then wouldn’t an apprentice killing a Confucian be?”
Xu Qingnian asked in this manner.
“No, you are different.” Wu Ming instantly knew what Xu Qingnian wanted to say, and he immediately shook his head and said.
“You haven’t reached the second rank yet, so it doesn’t matter if you kill or not.”
“In other words, if you really want to kill a group of people, it’s best to kill them all before you reach the second rank, otherwise wait until you reach the second rank.”
“It’s not really good to mess around, that’s the reason why countries are raising their armies and basically not seeing the second rank figures.”
Wu Ming gave a reply that put Xu Qingnian slightly at ease.
The meaning was simple, either F**k all the enemies to death before the second rank, or wait for the first rank, otherwise, killing indiscriminately at this realm of the second rank would most likely affect one’s own qi, and it would be difficult to break through to the first rank at that time.
Xu Qingnian understood completely.
Indeed, thinking back carefully.
When the Great Wei pacified the chaos, the first grade did not come out this nothing to say, but the second grade did not come out either, at that time, he was a bit curious himself.
The only thing I know is that among the nine state princes, only four are third-grade martial artists, and among the marquises there are four, and the Marquis of Champions counts as one, but these four third-grade marquises are all out on guard.
They were not in the capital of Wei.
The rest were of the fourth rank, so when the great battle came, there was no such thing as one man overpowering everything.
If there had been a second rank, or three or four third ranks, the battle would not have required so much intrigue and trickery.
“Shouren, before the third rank, you can do whatever you want in Great Wei’s Kyoto, but after the third rank, you have to think clearly about everything.”
“Moreover, you have stayed here for too long, your heart has been somewhat smoothed out. I know what you have done, and to the outside world, you look very fierce and brave.”
“But in my teacher’s opinion, it’s just a bunch of people pulling the wool over their eyes. When all is said and done, it’s still a point of not wasting too much breath with this bunch of readers.”
“You need to sharpen yourself up, really sharpen up.”
Wu Ming spoke out, he did know what Xu Qingnian had done before, what with all the fuss over the Ministry of Punishment, angrily beheading the county king and the like, killing the great scholars of heaven and earth, seemingly very fierce and brave, but in reality?
But in reality, it was just a bunch of people pulling the wool over each other’s eyes and making snide remarks, which is not suitable for the martial arts.
Martial arts is not about human emotions, martial arts is about fighting and killing.
“Please also ask for Master’s guidance.”
Xu Qingnian nodded, he approved of what Wu Ming had said, he had indeed wasted a lot of words with this group of readers, to be honest he was also angry, and so was the other side.
It was better to be like Wu Ming, and it was most enjoyable to strike out and suppress.
“Raise your realm and sharpen your skills in the desperate realm.”
“You are only at the Avatar realm now, your base is extremely good, but with an empty base, you are too poor in actual combat.”
“These days, my master will pa*s on your Martial Dao divine ability, after you master it, my master will take you to a place to sharpen in a desperate situation, so that you can become a king, a true king.”
Wu Ming said seriously, if you want to truly metamorphose, you must actually fight in real battles, not hide in Kyoto Gou, this is not suitable for martial cultivation, especially at the back, every realm, you need to bathe in blood.
Where is it possible to reach the first rank of martial artist? Even if you are gifted and have strong roots, if you don’t experience real combat, you won’t be able to complete the metamorphosis.
But once these words were said, Xu Qingnian was somewhat silent.
Seeing Xu Qingnian’s silence, Wu Ming immediately spoke up.
“What’s wrong?”
Wu Ming asked.
“Master …… Uh …… I’ve broken through to the fourth rank.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t know whether to say it or not, right, Wu Ming couldn’t see through himself because of the Sea of Public Opinion within his body, but as long as he touched himself, Wu Ming could also know his realm.
So Xu Qingnian didn’t hide it so far.
“What?”
“Fourth rank?”
“You’re bluffing me?”
Wu Ming froze, he was only sure that Xu Qingnian was a fifth rank today, so how could he be a fourth rank all of a sudden?
The next moment, Wu Ming grabbed Xu Qingnian’s palm, and in a flash the power of the First Grade entered Xu Qingnian’s body, and soon Wu Ming’s face revealed an unparalleled look of shock.
“Dang it’s really the fourth grade.”
“How did you improve so quickly?”
“That’s impossible.”
“According to reason, if a physique like yours were to elevate to the fourth rank, it would inevitably lead to some terrifying visions.”
“How come there are no signs at all?”
Wu Ming really did not know what to say and asked many questions in a row.
But soon, it dawned on Wu Ming.
“It’s the Haoran Wen Zhong.”
“You broke through within the Hao Ran Wen Zhong.”
Wu Ming guessed the only possibility.
“En.”
Xu Qingnian nodded and replied thus.
Once this was said, the latter could not help but take a deep breath and fall into silence.
One year old king.
Twenty years old, fourth grade Martial Dao.
On top of that, he was a fourth-ranked Confucian, a double fourth-ranked Confucian and Martial artist, and he had done it all within a year.
Was this a F**king human being?
A freak couldn’t even do that, right?
Wu Ming was silent, completely and utterly silent.
Looking at the silent Wu Ming, Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but speak up.
“Master, rising so fast, will it have an effect?”
“Isn’t it not good?”
Xu Qingnian asked, worried that there would be an effect if she ascended so fast.
But hearing this, Wu Ming cried and laughed a little.
“Shouren ah, I really don’t know what to say, if it was someone else, there would definitely be problems with lifting so fast, but you don’t have any problems.”
“You are a flawless body, others who raise their realm need to stabilise their realm and properly strengthen their roots, while after you raise, you don’t need to go and strengthen your roots because your roots are already flawless.”
“So, theoretically, even if you were to become one rank overnight, it wouldn’t have any effect on you.”
With this explanation, Wu Ming made Xu Qingnian understand.
But in the next moment, Wu Ming continued to speak.
“However, you should not be happy, my master is not worried about your realm rising too fast, what worries me now is that you have an empty realm, but no corresponding ability.”
“Martial dao, martial represents martial skills, dao represents realm, the two are united to be called martial dao, you now have the empty strength of a supreme king, but when you really fight, I am only afraid that you will not be able to do it at all.”
“Shouren, you get up, I will suppress the realm to the lowest of the fourth rank and fight with you.”
Saying this, Wu Ming got up and directly leapt tens of meters away, looking at Xu Qingnian and said so.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian did not hesitate, he did want to try out how strong he really was, and now that the First Grade was accompanying him, although he knew that he would definitely not be able to beat him, it still made Xu Qingnian very excited.
The two were twenty metres apart.
Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, meaning to let Xu Qingnian make the first move.
Boom.
Without any thought, Xu Qingnian turned into a gust of wind as he cast the Golden Crow Dragon Fighting Technique towards Wu Ming to kill him.
Xu Qingnian was extremely fast, arriving in front of Wu Ming in almost an instant, the Dragon Battling Technique killing out, the Golden Crow Void evolving behind him, the aura of the King’s Dao overflowing in all directions.
“Very fast, but your King’s Dao True Qi is not well controlled.”
Wu Ming twisted his body, before reaching out his hand and slapping Xu Qingnian on the back with a palm, also with King’s Dao True Qi, but Xu Qingnian was a little pained and dodged instantly, before lunging to kill again.
“Your move is very strong, it’s a dragon fighting technique with a sensitive body, it’s just that it’s overbearing and sinister, it doesn’t suit you.”
Wu Ming looked incomparably relaxed, as a First Grade, he was extremely experienced in combat, letting Xu Qingnian use both hands, Xu Qingnian could not beat him, this was just a companion practice.
The main thing was to see how strong Xu Qingnian was.
“Do your best, don’t leave any room for error.”
“Treat me as a real enemy.”
In an instant, Wu Ming opened his mouth and told Xu Qingnian to do his utmost.
In an instant, Xu Qingnian didn’t talk any more nonsense, running all the true qi in his body, killing out with the Dragon Fighting Technique, the Golden Crow and True Dragon silhouettes surfaced, evolving and intertwining behind him, and the King’s Dao true qi kept spreading.
The entire Marquis Palace roared to life.
Yet no matter how Xu Qingnian lunged, Wu Ming could easily dodge and often, at the critical moment, seize his own open door, or the breach, and deliver a blow.
Deadly, but naturally Wu Ming would stay his hand and only let Xu Qingnian feel the pain.
An incense stick later.
Wu Ming slapped his palm on Xu Qingnian’s heart, sending him flying tens of metres away on the spot, his body rumbling and his Qi and blood in his body tumbling violently.
Cough.
Coughing with all his might, Xu Qingnian stabilised his Qi and blood, and only after a moment did he exhale a long breath, before his gaze looked helplessly towards Wu Ming.
“It’s too bad, it’s too bad.”
“Shouren, I originally thought that although your martial arts skills were weak, they wouldn’t be that weak.”
“This Dragon Battling Technique of yours, although it is very strong, you have not even utilised a tenth of it.”
“Moreover, your King’s Dao True Qi is also very scattered, not coalescing when it should, and coalescing when it shouldn’t, so that it is full of flaws.”
“If it weren’t for your powerful physical body and strong roots, a random king would be able to trample you on the ground.”
Xu Qingnian’s fighting ability was so unbearable that Wu Ming didn’t even know what to say.
“Master, you are a First Grade Martial Artist after all, it’s normal for me to be unable to defeat you.”
Xu Qingnian, on the other hand, was a little depressed, he knew that his martial skills were very rookie, but he didn’t have to say so.
“Shouren, you don’t really think that my master has taken real action, do you?”
Wu Ming enquired.
Xu Qingnian: “…….”
“Master, what then?”
Xu Qingnian asked directly.
“The methods are also very simple, one is quick and one is gradual, you choose one, both of these methods are fine, I personally recommend quick.”
Wu Ming said seriously.
“Quick success?”
“How quick is it? How long does it take for a gradual progression?”
Xu Qingnian was curious.
If you could achieve quick success, you would definitely achieve quick success, but you still had to ask about the time.
“For quick success, within half a year, it will give you not bad martial dao experience, for gradual progress, ten years, I think.”
Wu Ming gave his answer.
“Ten years?”
“That’s still a quick success, right? Master, how do you get quick success? Is it enlightenment?”
Xu Qingnian didn’t even want to think about the step-by-step process, ten years? It was questionable whether she could live to be ten years old.
“No, it’s not Da Da Dao, there is no such thing as Da Da Da Dao in martial arts.”
“Even if there is, I will not help you to achieve quick success like this, that will always be someone else’s thing, Shouren, keep in mind that the true martial path, every step needs to be taken by yourself.”
“As for how to achieve quick success, I will not talk about it for now, you are not fit to use this method right now.”
“I am now teaching you two martial arts divine abilities, remember them well, even if you only remember the skin, the Dragon Fighting Technique that you have learnt is not suitable for you.”
“During this time you will stay within Kyoto and study them well, my master has to leave first to cleanse his body of the demonic Qi, it is impossible to delay.”
Wu Ming spoke.
“Leaving so soon? Master?”
Xu Qingnian was filled with curiosity, he knew that Wu Ming had returned from the Devil’s Domain and was tainted with demonic Qi, he just didn’t expect that Wu Ming would be leaving so soon.
He had thought that he would teach himself for a few months.
“En, the devilish Qi accumulated in my master’s body needs to be cleared slowly and cannot be delayed, otherwise it will cause some unnecessary trouble.”
“Right now you won’t be able to improve quickly either, instead, you might as well lay a good foundation first, and then come back to truly instruct you after my master has suppressed the demonic Qi for the time being.”
Wu Ming spoke out, he needed to go and suppress the demonic Qi now, which was why he was in such a hurry to get Xu Qingnian to have to worship him as his master.
After all, if he delayed a little longer, he would have no time to delay.
“Understood, thanks a lot Master.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t think much about it and nodded his head.
Seeing Xu Qingnian in this manner, Wu Ming was satisfied and then allowed him to take his seat.
“The first Martial Dao divine Power is called Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Power.”
“Rather than a divine ability, this is a martial art, as long as you convert the King’s Dao True Qi in your body, into Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy, you will be able to perfectly control the King’s Dao True Qi in your body.”
“This Demon Subduing Force can evolve into all weapons as well as coalesce in fists and feet, making it very flexible with a hundred variations.”
As Wu Ming spoke, a blue true qi coalesced in his hand, which was terrifying, while in Wu Ming’s hand, it sometimes transformed into a war spear, sometimes into a long sword, sometimes into a large sword, or a golden needle, an ancient shield, and all sorts of other things.
In the end, it was even integrated with the fist and palm, making it even more terrifying.
This is a good thing.
Xu Qingnian’s eyes lit up. To be honest, this thing was really good, it could perfectly control the King’s Way True Qi in his body, and it could also change flexibly, good, good indeed.
Also just as Xu Qingnian revealed his joy, Wu Ming struck this Demon Subduing Force into his body.
“Shouren, my master has punched the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy into your body, try to take the King’s Dao True Qi in your body, run through the circumference of the heavens, and then integrate it into the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy.”
Wu Ming said.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t talk nonsense and directly began to cultivate.
In an instant, the King’s Dao True Qi ran through the circumference of the heavens, the Dragon Veins ran, and in an instant a strand of Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy appeared.
However, the difference was that Wu Ming’s was a blue Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy, while his own was golden.
And Wu Ming’s Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy also disappeared directly after he himself had condensed it; it was Wu Ming’s Demon Subduing Energy, so it naturally could not have remained in Xu Qingnian’s body.
“Not bad.”
“To be able to condense Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy within ten breaths, very good, your base is too good, your Qi veins are terrifying.”
“Shouren, the cultivation of Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy is simple, you only need to transform all the King’s Dao True Qi in your body into Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Energy, and it will automatically improve.”
“This one is to refine your King’s Dao True Qi, making it more pure and powerful, you can understand it as another metamorphosis.”
“As for how to use the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Force, everyone has their own understanding, so I will not interfere with you.”
Wu Ming was very satisfied, and he also envied Xu Qingnian a little, after all, when he had boiled the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Force, it had taken him a full hour to boil a trace of it.
Xu Qingnian had only spent ten breaths of time and had already boiled it out.
How could one not be envious?
“Thank you, Master, for bestowing the magic.”
Xu Qingnian said with a bow towards Wu Ming.
“Don’t be so polite, you are my disciple, so naturally my master will do his best to teach you.”
“This second divine ability is called the Extreme Martial Three Forms, which are the Martial Emperor’s Great Hand Seal, the Martial Emperor’s Demon Subduing Palm, and the Martial Emperor’s Eight Desolate Fists.”
“In order to exert the power, you must reach the third rank, but I can teach you now, so prepare yourself.”
Wu Ming said this and directly grabbed Xu Qingnian.
In the next moment, space distorted.
Immediately afterwards, in the middle of a deserted mountain, this was near the sea, the sea breeze was blowing, there was not much life on the land, a strange rock towered on the beach, and at a glance, there was no one in the middle of nowhere.
Xu Qingnian was a little curious, wondering what Wu Ming was calling himself to do.
Just without waiting for him to ask, Wu Ming spoke out.
“Disciple, look carefully.”
“This is the Martial Emperor’s Great Hand Seal.”
Wu Ming said this, and at that moment, with a calm face, he extended his hand.
Boom.
Above the dome of the sky, a huge handprint appeared, extremely fast, like lightning, covering a hundred miles.
With a loud thunderclap, a hundred miles of mountains were destroyed on the spot, the earth trembled and the sky broke apart.
Goo.
Xu Qingnian swallowed his saliva, destroying a hundred miles with a single slap, this was too terrifying.
“When you reach the third rank, the limit of power will be like this, if there are really readers looking for death, with a single slap, you can wipe them all out.”
Wu Ming spoke out, very blandly.
And Xu Qingnian froze.
This image had already appeared in his mind.
Millions of readers, lashing out at themselves, insulting themselves, while they raised their hands and ambushed millions of corpses.
Hiss!
It was exciting to think about.
Of course this could only be thought of, slaughtering millions of readers, until the last moment, even if he had such strength, Xu Qingnian would not do so.
“Disciple, let’s go, my master will let you see the Martial Zun Demon Suppressing Palm again.”
At that moment, Wu Ming once again grabbed Xu Qingnian and directly moved away for a full half an hour.
He arrived at a valley.
Above the valley, dark clouds rolled in, black and oppressive, making people inexplicably afraid, while the valley stretched for ten thousand miles, devilish qi soared, and there was even a huge abyss around the valley, with even more devilish qi rushing inside.
“Disciple, watch out.”
Wu Ming spoke out, and the next moment the dome of the sky exploded, a giant hand fell, and in an instant, like a super volcano erupting, the core of the valley burst open, followed by a mad collapse of the ground.
As if baptized by dozens of nuclear bombs, boulders shot up into the dome of the sky, the earth sank and molten lava splashed everywhere, the image was so terrifying that it was imprinted dead in Xu Qingnian’s mind.
“This is the limit of the second grade.”
“Martial Zun Demon Subduing Palm.”
Wu Ming spoke, in order to perfectly demonstrate he incidentally subdued the demons in this valley.
“Senior!”
“You are of the first rank, why are you raiding my Abyssal Demon Valley?”
“In doing so, aren’t you afraid of provoking a battle of the First Grade?”
At the same time, however, a voice rang out in the middle of the abyss, hoarse and extremely uncomfortable, and Xu Qingnian could not help but frown slightly.
And Wu Ming caught the look and instantly looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“It’s alright, I will cover up for you again, the true power of the First Grade.”
“The Martial Emperor’s Eight Desolate Fists.”
Wu Ming’s tone was slightly comforting, yet in the next moment, his entire aura climbed to the extreme, like that of an immortal deity.
Dazzling and dazzling.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, Wu Ming’s robe drummed without wind as he blasted out a fist, his gaze cold.
In an instant, a great terror appeared.
The vault of the sky exploded, what had been dark clouds rolling in were now directly transformed into a white aura, as if the sky had been shattered by this fist.
The blazing light reflected in the valleys, and the destructive power was unparalleled, shattering a great mountain and turning a valley into pieces.
The valley, which stretched for ten thousand miles, shook wildly, as if a million ton meteorite had smashed into the ground, molten lava erupting a thousand metres high, killing an unknown number of demons.
The abyss, which was originally a hundred feet long, had expanded in size. The terrifying sound was so deafening that if it wasn’t for the protection of the First Cla*s, Xu Qingnian felt that if he hadn’t been so close, not only would he have been pulverised, but his ears would also have gone deaf.
In the midst of the abyss, the demon who had just made a questioning sound, even let out a miserable and incomparable scream, and then was directly burst, and the terrifying demonic Qi was shaken apart.
With this punch, it was unknown how many demons had been killed, and anyone from 100,000 miles away could feel this suffocating terror.
Xu Qingnian drew a deep breath.
This was the First Grade Heavenly Might?
With a single punch, ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers collapsed, under the First Grade, it was simply impossible to resist, a suffocating despair.
Likewise, Wu Ming’s domineering aura was deeply imprinted in Xu Qingnian’s heart.
When you say kill, you kill, where is the nonsense, fight if you don’t submit.
Or shut up.
This was the true invincibility.
And after doing all this, Wu Ming did not have any expression, but his voice was cold and indifferent.
“Don’t think that old man doesn’t know anything, if you dare to invade Great Wei again, old man will wash the abyss in blood.”
Wu Ming’s voice was icy cold, and these words were full of ruthlessness.
He was either suddenly full of nothing to do, or really just killing demons indiscriminately just to demonstrate the moves to Xu Qingnian.
Most of the demons in the Chen Kingdom came from here, so this was a lesson and a wake-up call for them.
Let them have a good look at how powerful the First Grade is, lest they think they are good again if the First Grade does not come out.
Xu Qingnian took a deep breath.
He worshipped the martial arts more and more.
At the same time, he was even more eager to become a first-grade martial artist as soon as possible.
If he became a First Grade Martial Artist, even if he could not become a Confucian Sage, so what?
Who would dare to mess with him under the sky?
Whoever comes will die.
“Disciple, go.”
The next moment, Wu Ming took Xu Qingnian and left this place.
It was another little half an hour.
Xu Qingnian once again returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Without any nonsense, Wu Ming directly taught Xu Qingnian the Three Extreme Martial Forms, teaching him the forms first and then the techniques.
Xu Qingnian was also extremely serious, learning the styles over and over again, but as for the arts, there was no rush first, so he could take his time.
It went on until the evening.
Finally Xu Qingnian had mastered the three extreme martial arts forms, but of course it was naturally the ‘forms’ that she had mastered.
“Shouren.”
“You are extremely qualified, in less than a day, you have mastered the Style, during this time you should study diligently, including the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Strength, you should also use it properly.”
“I have to leave first, the matter of the Wen Palace breaking away, with my master around, they don’t dare to jump around during this period of time, don’t worry.”
Wu Ming spoke out, he was extremely confident that with him suppressing the Great Wei, the Wen Palace would not dare to break away.
When he said this, Xu Qingnian also nodded, and a stone fell from his heart.
If the Palace of Literature did not break away, then he could do a lot of things himself, let the country develop and really prosper, so that even if the Palace of Literature broke away, although there would still be influence.
But it would not be as bad as it is now, where one would look somewhat helpless in the face of all sorts of problems.
“Thank you, Master, for your teachings, my apprentice will bear them in mind.”
Xu Qingnian made a serious pilgrimage.
“Don’t be polite.”
“My master knows that your heart is for the people of Great Wei, this is a very good point, and it is because of this that my master is willing to accept you as a disciple.”
“You have the possibility of becoming a sage of literature and a martial emperor on earth.”
“Except that very often, one cannot do everything alone, and by doing what needs to be done, one must also plan and think well for oneself.”
“If Great Wei can only be held up by your talents alone, then sooner or later, it will also perish.”
Wu Ming was very satisfied with Xu Qingnian’s loyalty and love for his country, which was an excellent quality of morality, but there were still some things Wu Ming had to say.
Xu Qingnian had done too many things for the Great Wei, and there was no problem that he cared about the life of the Great Wei, but there was a limit to what one person could do in a lifetime, and for the Great Wei, even if this crisis was solved, there would be another crisis.
If we rely on just one person, even if Wei does not fall, it will fall sooner or later.
To make Great Wei truly prosperous, it needs a group of people, not just him, Xu Qingnian.
When these words were spoken, Xu Qingnian was slightly silent.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingnian nodded and said.
“Master, my apprentice understands, and my apprentice will think about it seriously, but no matter what, my apprentice will still finish a few things, and when the time comes, my apprentice will make a choice.”
Xu Qingnian gave his reply.
What Wu Ming had said was exactly right.
But what was also clear to Xu Qingnian was that some things had to be left to himself.
If he did not govern Great Wei well to come, he would not be able to quietly cultivate himself, and after all, he could not give up his own Confucianism.
“En.”
“Disciple, do you have any more questions? If not, my master will have to leave.”
Wu Ming spoke out and asked this.
“Master, there are no more questions.”
“If I have to say it, Master, my apprentice really has a question, but it is about the Great Wei Wen Palace.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, not knowing if his master knew.
It was about the Great Wei Wen Palace after all.
“You speak.”
Wu Ming asked.
“Master, I don’t know if it was an apprentice’s misconception.”
“It is true that my apprentice has an enmity with the Great Wei Literary Palace, but it is a personal enmity, no matter how much more, the Great Wei Literary Palace is a holy place for the world’s scholars, and half of the great scholars in the world come from the Great Wei Literary Palace.”
“In theory, even if they want to suppress my disciple and take revenge on him, they can’t just leave the world’s people alone, right?”
“This time in the State of Chen, no matter how I think about it, I don’t think they should have not stepped in, furthermore, if the Zhu Sheng lineage doesn’t step in, is it hard to say that there are no great scholars in the Great Wei Literary Palace who are not of the Zhu Sheng lineage?”
“My disciple can’t understand why these great Confucians, why didn’t they make a move? It’s not as if the Zhu Sheng lineage won’t let them fight, right?”
Xu Qingnian voiced the doubts in his mind.
Once this was said, Wu Ming’s expression looked unusually serious.
“Shouren.”
“Do you know what is another reason why my master is willing to take you as a disciple?”
Wu Ming did not answer directly, but asked Xu Qingnian about this.
“Why?”
Xu Qingnian frowned slightly, but soon he uttered an answer.
“Is it because my apprentice is not a reader of the Great Wei Palace of Literature?”
Xu Qingnian replied tentatively.
Just to his surprise, Wu Ming nodded and said.
“Right.”
The word “right” made the whole matter inexplicably complicated and confusing.
“Shouren, remember what my master said, never get too close to any of the great scholars of the Great Wei Palace of Literature, not that none of them are good people, but at least there are not many good people.”
“Even, from their point of view, they are not bad people, it’s just that their interests drive them to do so.”
Wu Ming looked incomparably serious, telling Xu Qingnian not to get too close to any of the great scholars of the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
“What interests?”
Xu Qingnian was still curious, what interests could make the Great Wei Literary Palace rather pay so much? It had even gone against its own principles.
Financial power? That was impossible, if the Great Wei Wen Gong really wanted the financial power, all of the people up and down Great Wei, except for the Emperor, could basically be the Wen Gong’s people.
“Making saints.”
Wu Ming spoke indifferently and spat out two words.
These two words, however, caused Xu Qingnian to stare in disbelief.
“Saint-making?”
Xu Qingnian was a little shocked, could saints still be created?
“En.”
“This involves the true secret.”
“Between heaven and earth, there are the forces of yin and yang, the Haozheng Qi belongs to the yang force, the grievances of all beings belong to the yin force, and the yang force is also divided into many kinds, the Haozheng Qi is one, the people’s public opinion is one, the dynasty’s national luck is one, and supreme merit is also one.”
“Yang power and yin power are something indescribable, something truly incredible.”
“Understandably, between heaven and earth, martial artists, immortal schools, Confucianism, and Buddhism are all yang forces in essence, while demons, evil cultivators, darkness, the unknown, and the bizarre, all of these are yin forces in essence.”
“The limit of a martial artist is the first grade, if you have enough yang power, then you don’t need to cultivate and can become a first grade martial artist overnight.”
“For demon and evil cultivators, if they have enough yin power, they can also step into the first rank overnight.”
“Except that Yang power is transformed into public opinion, Hao Rong Qi, faith, and merit, while Yin power is an emotion, the emotion of all beings, which is why demons can break through as long as they devour resentful souls.”
Wu Ming explained the real secret in detail.
Xu Qingnian listened with great interest.
“And the readers cultivate Hao Rang Zheng Qi, innately possessing Yang power to suppress the evil demons of heaven and earth, but the power of faith gained, as well as merit and also public opinion, will be absorbed by the state.”
“So this is the purpose of the Great Wei Palace of Literature breaking away, they want to establish a state of the readers, so that the world’s beings will believe in them and have the public opinion of their own selves, as well as countless merits.”
“In that case, the yang power they received could potentially create a saint.”
“So, they are not really targeting you at all, you are just an obstacle for them.”
“When they really wanted to target you, before you had become a great Confucian, they could have left you dead and buried, how could they have allowed you to form a climate?”
“But now it’s different, you are still not their main objective, but you have become their biggest obstacle, and the good thing is that you have also become a climate.”
“Especially, with my master around, it is even more impossible for them to touch you.”
Wu Ming replied, and with these words, Xu Qingnian understood thoroughly what was going on with the Great Wei Wen Palace.
It turned out that they weren’t targeting themselves at all, they were just an obstacle, one that they didn’t expect to form a climate.
“This is not right, if this is the case, why didn’t they leave Great Wei long ago? When Zhu Sheng was around, he could have detached himself completely on his own, ah.”
Xu Qingnian immediately realised that something was wrong.
According to this, why wait until now? When Zhu Sheng was alive, why didn’t he do so?
But once this was said, Wu Ming’s following reply caused Xu Qingnian to completely freeze.
“This statement was put forward by Zhu Sheng.”
“Not long after it was put forward, Zhu Sheng pa*sed away, and in the same year, the world was in turmoil with demons, and 90% of the great scholars in the Great Wei Palace of Literature perished before this turmoil was stopped.”
“In this, there are too many things involved, too many things, you should not think about it, even the old man would not dare to guess, five hundred years have pa*sed.”
“No matter what the truth is, just live in the present moment.”
Wu Ming uttered a heavenly mystery.
This caused Xu Qingnian to completely freeze.
The saint-making plan had been proposed by Zhu Sheng.
As a result, Zhu Sheng pa*sed away not long after proposing it, and then in the same year, the demons were in turmoil and the Confucian family was dead and injured.
This was not even to mention conspiracy theories, even a brainless person would know that there was something wrong here.
Just looking at Wu Ming’s expression, as well as Wu Ming’s tone of voice, Xu Qingnian realised that it was not his turn to look into this matter, nor was he qualified to do so.
“My apprentice understands.”
Xu Qingnian nodded, he himself was not qualified enough to study this matter right now.
“Master, does that mean that the Great Wei Palace of Literature broke away in order to create a saint?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“En, but there is one thing not to be forgotten, the real purpose of the Palace of Literature to create saints is actually still to raise the status of the scholars and give them a real voice.”
“Since the death of Zhu Sheng, the Great Wei Palace of Literature has indeed changed too, conspiracy theory or not, speculation or not, these readers have changed their quality.”
“Their obsessions are so deep that if they were not great Confucians, they would only have become demonic, but it is not as if there have been no Confucians who have become demonic since ancient times.”
“All in all, don’t mess with this bunch, their obsession is deep and their plans, too, are very frightening.”
“When it really comes to that, it’s not something that the Great Wei Dynasty can influence, and even more so, it’s not something that our master and disciple can influence.”
“So for Great Wei, there is a lack of a saint and a lack of a new First Grade.”
“Shouren, if your heart is truly for the world, then you must make a good choice sooner rather than later.”
“If you want to rely on one person to save the day, then you must do what no one else has done before or since, and if both the civil and military are of one rank, then the world is yours to say.”
“Put your eyes, gradually, back from the Great Wei, to look at the entire dust world and the five continents.”
Wu Ming said seriously.
And Xu Qingnian was somewhat silent.
After a short while, Xu Qingnian took a deep breath.
With a firm gaze, he said.
“Disciple understands.”
Hearing these words, Wu Ming nodded, then resumed his gentle smile and said.
“Alright, disciple, next you cultivate well.”
“My master will first go to deal with the matter of demonic qi, and will come to you in half a month at the earliest, or a month at the slowest.”
“By then, if you have any questions, my master will answer them all.”
“By the way, if someone wants to take you as a disciple, don’t say yes.”
“Also, take this jade pendant and put a drop of your blood into it, if you are in danger, crush the pendant and my master will step in to protect you at the first opportunity.”
Wu Ming said at the end and handed a jade pendant to Xu Qingnian.
“Many thanks, Master.”
“Greetings, Master.”
Accepting the jade pendant, Xu Qingnian sent Wu Ming off respectfully, while the latter did not say anything and directly disappeared into the spot.
And at the same time.
Yang Hu’s voice rang out in the distance.
“Marquis.”
“Chen Zhengru, Lord Chen is here.”
