Chapter 288: Chapter 130: Changes in Tianji Pavilion, Confucian Xuan Ancestor emerges from Tianshui, the world’s Confucian Path begins to split! _7
During this period, the human race flourished, and the influence of the Confucian Path reached an unprecedented height.
A height so great that even the Taiyi Sect, with a Heavenly Venerate at its helm, had to temporarily step aside.
Regrettably, later due to the slumber of the old Heavenly Venerate, Wen Xuan and Wen Yuan became the leaders of the Confucian Path.
From then on, significant changes occurred within the Confucian Path.
Under the intervention of these two saints, all Daoist methods of the Great Scholars were absorbed into the Heavenly Palace of Literature.
For all the Great Scholars in the world, only after becoming a teaching Great Scholar of Jixia Academy could one qualify for further studies.
Even the granting of literary seeds had certain regulations.
At this time, literary positions gradually shifted from being held by the world to being controlled by vested interests.
For learners around the world, to achieve a literary position, one must first pass the examination of the Jixia Academy to become a scholar. Only then would there be a chance to receive a literary seed.
Otherwise, there’s no chance at all!
Under such a trend, Confucian disciples, without the nourishment of Confucian methods, became increasingly weak.
With a body like this, let alone being promoted to a Great Scholar, even becoming a Confucian teacher of the fifth realm would be impossible.
Over the years, the reason why Liang Renxing, the old State Preceptor of the Daqian Dynasty, has been unable to get promoted is precisely because of this.
He didn’t agree to go to the Jixia Academy, instead, he chose to stay in the Daqian Dynasty. This wait has lasted a hundred years.
Consequently, subsequent resources for cultivating the literary Qi of Heaven and Earth naturally had nothing to do with him.
Even the Confucius Temples of Daqian Dynasty were demolished because of this.
Chen Chang’an has reason to believe that when he encountered Liang Renxing in Zhongzhou initially, it might have been his final struggle to gain the support of the Jixia Academy.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Liang Renxing’s failure was not an isolated case, it was the result of a series of accumulated facts.
The two saints of the Confucian Path only had their sight set on becoming saints, neglecting the essence and the trivial matters.
Under such a trend, the people of the world no longer had the passion for creation.
The world was devoid of the passion for creation, and therefore, there were no new articles.
The essence of the Confucian Path was derived from articles and knowledge.
Without new articles, to hope for further advancement was nothing short of a pipe dream.
This led to the current situation where there has been no new saint for a million years and no prosperity for a million years, making it difficult to regain the peak.
Decline was inevitable!
After bidding farewell to the old Heavenly Venerate, Chen Chang’an’s life on Daozang Mountain returned to normal again.
It was the same routine - reading books and playing with dogs.
When bored, he would watch his disciples cultivate, taking great pleasure in it.
This was how Mao Ruxue saw Chen Chang’an. In her eyes, her senior, Chen Chang’an, was always so leisurely.
But on this day, it wasn’t so.
Early in the morning, for some unknown reason, when Mao Ruxue and Lin Qingxue came to greet Chen Chang’an,
Chen Chang’an remained silent.
He stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of melancholy.
"Senior brother, what’s wrong?"
"Master?"
The demeanor of Chen Chang’an immediately put Lin Qingxue and Mao Ruxue into a panic, thinking something major had happened.
After their words fell, they saw Chen Chang’an suddenly turn to them and abruptly ask,
"Junior sister, have you ever seen the sea?"
"Huh? Senior brother, what sea?"
Mao Ruxue was taken aback. She clearly didn’t understand what Chen Chang’an meant by this question.
"It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it. If you ever forget, remember this, the sea is blue."
After saying this, Chen Chang’an fell silent.
In his hand, a spell suddenly appeared, forming a water curtain.
The scenery within the water curtain was that of the Heavenly Dao Sea.
There, the sea was blue, not like the black waters of the Endless Sea or the gloomy sea that were tainted.
After doing all this, Chen Chang’an returned to his room.
That day, Chen Chang’an didn’t eat anything, which made Mao Ruxue and Lin Qingxue puzzled, unsure of what happened.
Fortunately, a few days later, Chen Chang’an slowly recovered, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
But the matter about the sea was never brought up again by Chen Chang’an, and gradually, they forgot about it.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed, and it seemed Chen Chang’an had moved on from that matter.
No, it wasn’t that Chen Chang’an had moved on, rather Mao Ruxue clearly saw.
That day, Chen Chang’an suddenly summoned his Dharma Body, and then destroyed an island nation in the Endless Sea!
Chen Chang’an showed almost no mercy to the island and its inhabitants, striking with the power of a saint.
Boom~!
After that strike, there was no trace left of that nation in this world!
As for why Chen Chang’an would do such a thing, Mao Ruxue didn’t know.
But she did notice that after that, Chen Chang’an’s mood significantly improved, and he no longer talked about the color of the sea.
As time hurriedly passed.
Humming~!
One day, a sound suddenly echoed in Chen Chang’an’s mind.
"Emperor Song, come quickly, the Heavenly Emperor has summoned you!"
It was a message sent by Yan Luo.
Seeing this message, Chen Chang’an was a bit surprised.
Because when he came back from the Saint Realm after the last killing, he thought the Dark Heavenly Emperor would summon him.
