What... is going on?! Am I... seeing things?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You are seeing things too?! Then are you seeing the two Masters Cheng kowtowing three times and bowing nine times to True Person Li, and wanting to take him as their master?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh?! You are seeing things too?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No! I am not seeing things! I am... hallucinating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What hallucination?! It is not just you who saw it! I saw it too! So, this is not a hallucination! The two Masters Cheng are famous great Confucian masters of the Great Song, Earthly Immortals! And they are kowtowing three times and bowing nine times to True Person Li?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Indeed! I heard that True Person Li is only nine years old! And the two Masters Cheng are at least ninety?! Two ninety-year-old men are actually kowtowing three times and bowing nine times to a nine-year-old child! And they want to take him as their master?! Am I crazy?! Or is this world crazy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a boom, the scholars in the Imperial Academy began to discuss it, the noise rising to the heavens, like boiling water in a pot; they simply could not remain calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One must know, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, and Zhu Xi, the three great masters, had jointly created the theory of Heavenly Principle; they were the founders of the Confucian school of Heavenly Principle!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides that, the two masters, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, known as the 'Two Chengs', were famous great Confucian masters of the Great Song, and they had students everywhere, with countless disciples and former subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And yet, these two ninety-year-old masters were actually kowtowing three times and bowing nine times to Li Li Li Zhangsheng, wanting to take him as their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One must know, Li Li Li Zhangsheng is currently... only nine years old!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Is this not... the greatest joke under Heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Take me as your master?! Even if you do, I might not necessarily teach you the Confucian cultivation system!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Have you... thought it through?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s gaze flickered, and he smiled playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He understood the thoughts in the hearts of the two Masters Cheng; it must be for that cultivation system related to Confucianism.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I will not hide it from the True Person! One of the reasons I take the True Person as my master is indeed because of the Confucian cultivation system!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But I also deeply understand the principle of 'Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, and Teacher'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Taking the True Person as my master is the result of my careful consideration!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Please rest assured, True Person! Since I have taken the True Person as my master, I will certainly strive to learn from the True Person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Yi took a deep breath; he knew that making this decision was incredibly shocking, but he still made it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was not just because of that new cultivation system related to Confucianism, but also because of the magnificent, vast, and boundless Haoran Righteous Qi on Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compared to Li Li Li Zhangsheng, his own Haoran Righteous Qi was simply too pitifully small.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Hao thought for a moment and followed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao wanted to take him as their master was indeed somewhat beyond Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Li Li Li Zhangsheng thought about it; he needed some manpower under his command, and since the two Chengs had taken him as their master, then so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If their performance met his expectations, it was not impossible to teach them the Confucian cultivation system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, it was just a Confucian cultivation system, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, having figured this out, Li Li Li Zhangsheng did not care.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Thank you, True Person! No! Thank you, Master, for accepting us!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Yi was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Me too! Thank you, Master, for accepting us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Hao followed immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Li Li Zhangsheng could not help but roll his eyes: Why didn't you say 'me too' as well?! How does this Cheng Hao look so simple-minded?! Did he really comprehend Haoran Righteous Qi and become an Earthly Immortal?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard that when the teacher has something to do, the disciple performs the labor?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng looked at the two Chengs and asked slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master! You are mistaken! The original sentence is: Zixia asked about filial piety. The Master said, 'The difficulty is the countenance. If, when their elders have any troublesome affairs, the young take the toil of them, and if, when the young have wine and food, they set them before their elders, is this to be considered filial piety?' It comes from the *Analects*...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cheng Hao realized Li Li Li Zhangsheng was wrong and immediately spoke up to remind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I do not know what instructions the Master has?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cheng Yi did not wait for Cheng Hao to finish and directly interrupted his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng felt helpless and could only ignore Cheng Hao, saying to Cheng Yi, \"I have handed the matter of Daxiangguo Temple to the Great Song Imperial Court; you go and keep an eye on it for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is there any problem?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Yi spoke very directly, \"No problem! Please rest assured, Master! I guarantee that all the property, fields, and so on of Daxiangguo Temple will be used for the people and their livelihood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded, said nothing more, and then stepped into the air, turned, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second brother! Now it is our turn to act!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"We must let the Master see... our sincerity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cheng Yi turned to look at Cheng Hao, his face serious, his tone heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, elder brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Master will surely see our sincerity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cheng Hao nodded, having already made up his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since they had taken Li Li Li Zhangsheng as their master, they would naturally not be half-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah! This... the two Masters Cheng actually really... took Li Li Li Zhangsheng as their master?! And Li Li Li Zhangsheng actually... agreed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They already kowtowed three times and bowed nine times?! Could it still be fake?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The scholars of the Imperial Academy were all dumbfounded; their hearts seemed to have countless words they wanted to say, but when they opened their mouths, it seemed they could not say a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Apart from shock, they felt only speechlessness, and... a very complex feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in another place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s external incarnation, Li Li Beiji, headed toward the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, stepping through the void, traveling a thousand miles in an instant, with faint starlight lingering beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Time passed, and Li Li Beiji traveled like a bolt of lightning; about half a day later, a huge city, towering and majestic, appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The capital of the Jin Kingdom, Shangjing! It is right before my eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Li Beiji’s mind stirred, his gaze indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was about to head toward Shangjing, but suddenly, his footsteps paused, and a look of strangeness appeared on his face, \"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On a main road, a gorgeous carriage was moving slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Shangjing, ahead?! This time, I, the Princess, must help His Majesty the Heavenly Khan take this city of Shangjing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A young man with a graceful figure, a face like jade, holding a white jade folding fan, and dressed as a man, spoke slowly, the voice like an oriole, delicate and crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This young man was none other than the Mongol Great Great Yuan Princess, Zhao Min.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This time, I ask for the help of you all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As she spoke, Zhao Min bowed to the few people, her attitude sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Princess, we will certainly help the Princess win this great merit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Indeed! Indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two old men with high noses and deep eyes, holding a deer-headed short staff and crane-beaked double pens respectively, nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These two old men, who looked like people from the Western Regions, were the Xuanming Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides the Xuanming Elders, there was an ugly-faced bitter monk, a swordsman holding a golden blade, and... they all nodded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With your help, I can rest easy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Min smiled and nodded; she was silent for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This middle-aged man was dressed in fine clothes and looked to be about thirty years old, but his face was handsome and strange, his skin crystal clear, flashing with a dazzling luster, and he had an aura of standing like a deep pool or a towering mountain, making one’s heart palpitate with every gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master! The many Earthly Immortals of the Jin Kingdom will have to rely on you, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Min took a deep breath and bowed, saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"For the great plan of the Mongol Great Great Yuan, I will naturally take action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the words fell, the middle-aged man in fine clothes slowly opened his eyes; his gaze was like thunder, possessing a charm that was almost demonic, making people sink into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With Master taking action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The mere Earthly Immortals of the Jin Kingdom... will certainly not be Master’s match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Min felt reassured; she knew that although the man before her had become an Earthly Immortal for less than half a year, his strength was comparable to the Dharma Body Realm, and even surpassed it; he was a true heaven-gifted genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because this middle-aged man in fine clothes was named Pang Ban!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Demon Master Pang Ban, a true peerless genius, invincible in the Heaven-Human Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After becoming an Earthly Immortal, his cultivation speed did not decrease; in less than half a year, he had already initially combined his Dharma Image with his physical body, and although he had not yet condensed the Supreme Dharma Body, he had given birth to magic power, and ordinary experts of the Dharma Body Realm were not his match.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master! Then... is Li Li Li Zhangsheng really that monstrous?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a pause, Zhao Min spoke hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Li! Zhang! Sheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a swish, Pang Ban spat out the three words lightly; from his eyes, two rays of light shot out, and from his whole body, an aura that reached the heavens surged and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That damned Li Li Li Zhangsheng! If it weren't for him, I would have already successfully plotted against the Quanzhen Sect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of Li Li Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Min felt very angry.\u003C\u002Fp>",1783,"2026-06-16T02:43:04.431Z","2026-06-17T08:49:40.505Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6b78b9289cc20ce59db0e65e6b58cbf68e696d0837b1de071bba20b90a220ef0","comprehensive-martial-arts-heaven-defying-compre-chapter-126","comprehensive-martial-arts-heaven-defying-compre-chapter-124",677,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomprehensive-martial-arts-heaven-defying-compre-cover.jpg"]
