Chapter 1108: University
Translator: 549690339
Xia Pingan’s mind was filled with thoughts, but he did not slow down. Without realizing it, he had arrived outside the Guiyuan Grand Hall.
“Dragon Rearing Stone welcomes Elder Chan…”
It wasn’t until the Dragon Rearing Stone’s voice rang in his ears that Xia Ping ‘an’s thoughts were pulled back to reality.
Dragon Rearing Stone stood guard at the entrance of the Guiyuan Grand Hall and bowed deeply to Xia Ping ‘an.
“Elder Shi, there’s no need for such a thing!” Xia Ping ‘an gently helped Elder Shi up. When he came to Guiyuan Palace to choose the Realm Pearl, this simple and honest Dragon Rearing Stone was like a mechanical puppet guarding the palace. He would usually only say” Greetings, Elder Chan ” to him and then take him to the secret warehouse to choose the Realm Pearl. He usually did not pay much attention to etiquette and was just doing his routine. He was not cold, but he was not too polite either. Today, the Dragon Rearing Stone’s grand welcome made Xia Ping’ an feel a little overwhelmed.
Dragon Rearing Stone’s honest and stiff face revealed a slightly shy smile.” Elder Chan went to battle on Fu ‘an Mountain for the Dragon Rearing family and suppressed the Ling Shi family. He has made a great contribution. Although I am an old man with low strength and can only guard this hall for the Dragon Rearing family, I am also honored. The Realm Pearls I collected this time are all in the secret warehouse and have not been chosen by anyone. I am waiting for Elder Chan to return. Elder Chan, please follow me!””
Indeed, justice was in the hearts of the people!
Xia Ping ‘an sighed in his heart. This time, he had helped the Dragon Rearing Family take down Fu’ an Mountain. After he returned, he felt different from before. Even this Elder Shi was much more enthusiastic towards him than before. It was as if he had become a different person.
The two of them entered the main hall and went to the underground secret vault with ease. When they opened the door of the secret vault, the Dragon Rearing Stone was waiting respectfully outside the door for Xia Ping ‘an to go in and choose.
As soon as Xia Pingan entered the secret vault, he was slightly stunned because he realized that the layout of the secret vault had changed a little. Previously, every time the Realm Pearls were collected, they would be categorized and stored on various shelves. Now, as soon as he entered, he saw hundreds of Realm Pearls and some Spiritual Force Crystals mixed together. They were not sorted out and placed on the most conspicuous shelf in the secret vault. It was clear at a glance.
In the past, he had to walk around the secret warehouse to see the new Realm Pearls. Now, it seemed that all the newly collected Realm Pearls were placed here. Xia Pingan glanced over and saw a few” fresh ” Realm Pearls that had not been fused yet. One of the Realm Pearls was flashing with a faint golden light. The two characters ” Da Xue ” in the Realm Pearl made Xia Pingan’s heart skip a beat. A divine light flashed in his eyes.
Could this ‘Great Learning’ be the ‘Great Learning’ from the Confucian classics? This was one of the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism. It was very rare to find such a classic Realm Bead. Xia Ping ‘an’s secret mandala had not yet been completed. Once such a classic Realm Bead was integrated, the strength of the characters summoned by the secret mandala would increase.
“Elder Chan, these are the newly arrived Realm Pearls, and they haven’t been categorized yet. Putting these New Realm Pearls together will make it easier for Elder Chan to choose and save him some time. “The voice of the Dragon Rearing Stone came from outside the secret vault.
Xia Ping ‘an knew that this Dragon Rearing Shi elder was already within his jurisdiction. He had given him the greatest preferential treatment and privilege. According to the rules of the Dragon Rearing Clan, the New Domain Pearls would be classified and brought to justice when they reached the secret warehouse. This was the case when he came here in the past, but this Dragon Rearing Shi elder had placed all the New Domain Pearls in front of the secret warehouse so that it would be easier for him to choose. After he had finished choosing, he would then let these Realm Pearls be classified and brought to justice.
“Elder Shi is very thoughtful!” As Xia Pingan spoke, he waved his hand and the ‘University’ Realm Pearl on the shelf in front of him flew into his hand.
Xia Pingan looked at the Realm Pearl seriously and realized that the golden light of the Realm Pearl was a little special. Upon closer inspection, the golden light seemed to be connected to each other like golden bamboo slips. Xia Pingan was certain that this ” University” Realm Pearl was the ” University” of the Four Books and Five Classics, and nothing else.
With another thought, a few more ‘fresh’ Realm Pearls on the shelf flew towards him.
Coincidentally, among those fresh Realm Pearls, there was one called” Biting Finger and Heartache “. The main character of the story was Zengzi, who was very filial to his mother since he was a child. In ancient times, when Zengzi’s mother missed him, no matter where he was, as long as his mother bit her finger and made him feel pain, Zengzi would feel heartbroken. After that, he would know that his mother was busy. Therefore, he would hurry home. This ability was even stronger than the Super Sensing Twin Crystals.
Zengzi was also the author of the book, but he didn’t expect to get two of Zengzi’s Realm Pearls today.
There were also two Divine Power World Beads, one was Fan Zhao’s Envoy Qi and the other was Spring Snow.
After obtaining the four Realm Pearls, Xia Ping ‘an turned around and walked out of the secret warehouse. He came in front of the Dragon Rearing Stone,” Elder Shi, did you receive these two Realm Pearls at the same time?”
Xia Pingan pointed at the “University” and the “Finger Biting Heartache” Realm Bead in his hand and asked.
“All, how did Elder Chan know?”Dragon Rearing Stone looked at Xia Pingan in surprise before explaining,” That’s right. These two Realm Pearls were bought from a general-level summoner in a trading company in Dayan City. According to the summoner, these two Realm Pearls were dropped after he killed a monster in the underground abyss. Usually, a monster only has one Realm Pearl, but sometimes, some monsters might have more than two Realm Pearls!”
“Oh, 1 see!” Xia Pingan nodded, thinking to himself, No wonder Zengzi’s Realm Pearls were all gathered together. Realm Pearls could be obtained in some places in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm. However, with Xia Pingan’s current strength and status, the efficiency of hunting and killing monsters to obtain New Realm Pearls was too low. It was far less efficient than directly buying them from the market. It was just like how the poor could only hunt and raise wild animals themselves if they wanted to eat wild animals, while the rich did not have to go through so much trouble if they wanted to eat them.
“Without the Spiritual Force Crystal, it’s basically impossible to fuse these two Realm Beads. However, if the fusion fails, you won’t die. That’s why the Summoner was willing to sell it, especially this Realm Bead…”
The Dragon Rearing Stone pointed at the ‘University’ Realm Pearl and reminisced,” I saw this Realm Pearl many years ago in the largest auction in the Divine Capital. At that time, it was bought by a level eight Hierarch God in the Divine Capital. That level eight Hierarch God was also the head of a super family. However, with his strength, he failed to fuse this Realm Pearl in a family ceremony. As far as I know, there is basically no record of this Realm Pearl successfully fusing.” I’ve never seen a corresponding Spiritual Force Crystal before!”
Dragon Rearing Stone enthusiastically explained the situation of the Realm Pearl in Xia Ping ‘an’s hands.
“Alright, thank you, Elder Shi…”
After putting away the Realm Pearl, Xia Ping ‘an left the Guiyuan Hall and returned to his own Purple Bamboo Yard.
Everything in the Purple Bamboo Yard was as usual!
Summoning the guards, Xia Ping ‘an went to the secret room and activated the array disc. Then, he began to fuse the Realm Pearl.
Xia Ping ‘an first fused with the Realm Pearl of” Spring Snow”. Anyone who knew a bit of history would be able to fuse with this Realm Pearl. This story came from ” Song Yu Replies to King Wen of Chu “, and there was another story that corresponded to ” Spring Snow” called ” Xialiba people “. To put it simply,” Spring” and ” Snow Snow” corresponded to the elegant music of that time, while ” Xiali” and ” Baren ” were popular songs that the common people liked at that time.
After fusing with Yang Chun Bai Xue’s Realm Pearl, Xia Ping ‘an quickly fused with Fan Zhao’s Realm Pearl. Then, he transformed into Zeng Zi and fused with Biting Finger Heartache, the Realm Pearl. Xia Ping’ an fused all three Realm Pearls in one go in less than a few hours.
In the end, Xia Ping ‘an dripped his blood to fuse with the Realm Pearl, University.
“All, how could this be…”
In the world of the Realm Pearl, what appeared in front of Xia Pingan were golden bamboo slips that looked like giant pillars. Xia Pingan stood in the void with stars above his head and vast land below his feet. The bamboo slips and him stood alone. There was no one around him, and there was no scene. All he saw was a vast and profound aura supporting him in the void. This was the first time Xia Pingan had seen such a fusion.
After the initial shock, Xia Pingan only managed to calm himself down a little. After some thought, he began to recite,” The path of a university lies in being virtuous, in being close to the people, and in achieving perfection. Only when you know how to stop can you have stability, only when you have stability can you be quiet, only when you are quiet can you be at ease, only when you are at ease can you think, and only after thinking can you get what you want. Everything has its beginning and end, and things have their end and beginning. If you know what comes first and what comes second, you will be close to the Tao.”
As soon as Xia Pingan opened his mouth, the content on the bamboo slips in front of him turned into golden words that appeared on the bamboo slips.
This made Xia Ping ‘an’s spirit jolt. So that was how it was. At the same time, Xia Ping ‘an also understood why others could not fuse with such a Realm Pearl. If he did not remember the people from University, it would be a miracle if he could fuse with this Realm Pearl successfully.
However, although this land of fusion scene seemed difficult, it was actually the simplest and most efficient for him.
A smile gradually appeared on Xia Pingan’s face.
“In ancient times, those who wanted to show their virtue to the world first governed their country. If you want to govern the country, you must first govern your family. If you want to govern your family, you must first cultivate yourself. If you want to cultivate your body, you must first correct your heart. If you want to correct your heart, you must first be sincere. If you want to be sincere, you must first make people understand. To understand is to investigate things.”
” Only when things are in order can one know the truth. Only when one knows the truth can one be sincere. Only when one is sincere can one’s heart be correct. Only when one’s heart is correct can one cultivate one’s body. Only when one cultivates one’s body can one’s family be unified. Only when one’s family is unified can one rule the country. Only when one rules the country can the world be peaceful.”
“From the Son of Heaven to the commoners. This is all based on self-cultivation. It is not the case that the root is chaotic and the end is governed. What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick. This is called knowing the root, this is called knowing to the extreme…”
Xia Pingan’s clear voice shook the void. As his voice appeared, golden words appeared on the bamboo slips one after another. The bamboo slips shone with golden light, forming golden pillars of light that reached the sky and the earth. Noble qi filled the air. In the golden light, the figures of Confucius, his seventy-two disciples, and many Confucian sages appeared. They nodded and smiled at Xia Pingan.. They shone on the bamboo slips of the university, causing the entire void to turn golden…
