Chapter 286: The Zhao Clan

Zhao Xing wrote "The Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects: Heavenly Timing Chapter" and "The Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects: Geographical Advantage Chapter" in the thirty-fifth year of the Jingxin Calendar.

At that time, he needed to quickly reconcile the conflict between Pang Yuanzhen and Sima Yunhai, so he did not elaborate on the two new theories in detail.

Only a few days after sitting and discussing the Dao with Pang Yuanzhen, Wei Zhao, and Yang Song, the assassination event led by Mr. Gu, Yu Shanzi, and Daoist Tianjue occurred.

Afterward, his true self went into seclusion, his other clones were busy saving people everywhere, and the clone remaining in Bright Moon Prefecture was also busy handling government affairs for Ye Yukong.

Therefore, the content of the two new theories at that time was mostly classic treatises expounding on ideology. As for the legal theories describing specific spell applications, they were only cited as examples in the book to prove the points.

Pang Yuanzhen, Wei Zhao, and Yang Song were left wanting more at the time precisely because it still lacked detailed legal theory chapters.

Of course, with the ideological guidance of the classic treatises, two years had passed, and the classic-studying doctors of the Shangluo Academy had already figured out many chapters of legal theory based on Zhao Xing's classic treatises.

Even though the war delayed things for two years, it did not hinder the two new theories from becoming popular research topics at Shangluo Academy.

Why did Liu Tianning insist that Zhao Xing go with him after the rewards were finished?

Besides using him as an example of the "Green Seedling Law" to fight a battle of the Great Dao, the main reason was the strong demand from the classic-studying doctors of various academies.

There was no other way; Xu Xing had to specifically name Liu Tianning to bring Zhao Xing over.

It must be known that Zhao Xing's "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Heavenly Cycle Theory" was published before the "New Chapters of the Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects."

At that time, Shangluo Academy actually couldn't sit still anymore!

They were terrified that their sect's Holy Son would defect to the Heavenly Timing School.

It was only because Xu Xing and Liu Tianning had communicated and learned of Zhao Xing's true thoughts that they held their ground and endured it.

Otherwise, the doctors of Shangluo Academy would have even gone to Pinghai Prefecture in person to welcome Zhao Xing with an eight-bearer sedan chair!

How could that be allowed? At that time, Zhao Xing was only a fifth-rank Agricultural Official; doing so wouldn't that be "killing with kindness" for his grand-disciple?

Now it was different; Zhao Xing was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Divine Might, possessed numerous achievements, and his ability to govern and fight had been certified by the imperial court!

The classic treatises had fermented for another two years and had long since spread.

In this way, it would not be "killing with kindness." Whether it was the comprehension of the Myriad Dao Tree, the breakthrough in the Divine Splendor Pool, or the precious resources to be prepared for Zhao Xing later, no one would dare to oppose it, and doubts would dissipate.

Educating people is like planting trees; Zhao Xing could grow smoothly and have everything go his way because, in reality, Liu Tianning and Xu Xing were silently escorting him from behind.

Xu Xing letting Zhao Xing speak slowly and well now meant he was no longer afraid of him being the "tallest tree in the forest."

Zhao Xing was already in the third-rank realm, growing sturdily into a big tree, no longer afraid of wind and rain. Even if wind and rain came, there were still two big trees in front blocking them!

"The Cangshan Dao-Discussion Forest has been prepared for a long time. You can go over at any time. Which day shall we set?" Xu Xing asked.

"Better to do it today than choose another day. Let's make it today," Zhao Xing said.

If it were an ordinary third-rank, having just broken through, they would probably spend a lot of time consolidating their realm.

However, Zhao Xing didn't need to at all; his foundation was already solid, and after being tempered by the Divine Splendor Pool, it was the most robust third-rank foundation in the world.

There was no need to spend time consolidating the realm.

"Good, then let's go now."

The long-contemplating Dr. Zhao had finally come out of seclusion to preach; this news quickly swept through Shangluo Academy.

"Zhao Xing is out of seclusion? The location is the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest?"

"I heard he has already broken through to the third rank. Old Fang, let's go over together and see this new generation genius."

"I have the exact same intention!"

"Dr. Zhao is out of seclusion! Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest, come quickly!"

"Wow, he finally came. It's fortunate I wasn't sent out on official business!"

"I have studied the new chapters for two years and have had small results, but I'm still missing that final push. Whether I can be promoted to a Preaching Mage this year..."

"... epends on Dr. Zhao!"

"The Marquis of Divine Might is out of seclusion? I wonder if he will talk about legal theory today."

"Classic treatises are profound, but legal theories are practical. For us military agricultural officials, the Marquis of Divine Might's legal theories are the most important."

"Go, go, go, let's go see."

"Damn it! Why is the discussion today? I just got sent on official business to Yao Commandery!"

"Brother Liu, what are you complaining about? Send a grass puppet!"

"How can a Myriad Law Grass Puppet listening to a big shot preach be the same as the true self listening? Do you think I'm some peerless genius whose grass puppet clone can also attain the Dao?"

"I'm asking if your brain is broken. You send the grass puppet to handle the official business, and the true self comes back first. The matter in Yao Commandery..."

"... sn't a big deal; the grass puppet is enough to handle it."

"Oh, that makes sense! I was muddled! When does the lecture start?"

"At the fourth quarter of the Weishi hour; you only have half an hour to travel!"

"I'm leaving immediately via the 【Leap Great Dao】. Brother Wang, save me a good spot! I'll treat you to a big meal next month!"

"Easy to say."

At this time, every agricultural official in Shangluo Academy who was free began to rush toward the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest.

Even those whose true selves didn't have time sent grass puppets to attend the lecture.

Within a quarter of an hour after the news spread, tens of thousands of people appeared at the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest!

"Why are there so many people?" The venue manager of the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest, 'Li Hao', wearing linen dharma robes, was operating the opening of the magic array and couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the number of people.

"Those saving seats, many people sent grass puppets to occupy a favorable position," the deputy said with a bitter smile. "It's a rare sight; even those in the lower three ranks have come to join the fun."

The enthusiasm of the lower three-rank agricultural officials of Shangluo Academy was very high, mainly because the core ideology of the new chapters was too much to their taste!

Using plants to change heavenly timing, using plants to nourish geographical advantages—how uplifting!

As for the middle-rank agricultural officials, they were looking forward to Zhao Xing's "Legal Theory Chapter," because after the fifth rank cultivates pure essence soil...

... hey could raise military seeds.

If a complete legal theory were to come out, fitting the core ideology, what kind of situation would that be?

It would mean that Original Self School agricultural officials could take on many official positions originally held by the Heavenly Timing and Geographical Advantage schools!

The Heavenly Timing School can change heavenly timing, and I can too; what you Geographical Advantage School can do, I can do now too!

Wouldn't that make it easier to be an official?

Learn first, master first; how could they not come?

The reason for the high-rank agricultural officials coming was very simple.

It was mainly curiosity.

If Zhao Xing truly had profound theories to release, that would be of great help to the status of Shangluo Academy.

Additionally, Xu Xing and Liu Tianning had both run over; just for this point, they had to give face and listen.

Therefore, Zhao Xing's preaching this time actually swept up the Original Self School agricultural officials from the upper, middle, and lower levels of Shangluo Academy.

"It's broken through fifty thousand people!"

"It's one hundred thousand!"

"This won't do, Manager; if it goes on like this, even two hundred thousand won't be able to stop it."

The deputy walked in, flustered. "In less than half an hour, the scale of people at the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest has broken through one hundred thousand."

"People are already fighting because of seat-saving."

"Call the Law Division to send more people!" Li Hao said. "If there aren't enough people, go to the Rites Hall and the Temple to invite Rites Cultivators and Priests over. I'm going to find the Dean to report."

"Yes!" The deputy ran out again; there were still many grass puppet clones running back and forth in this office room.

There was no way; relying solely on the true self was too busy.

When had the Dao Field Division ever been this busy before? The grass puppet clones were usually left to gather dust, but today they were all sent out.

"There are really a lot of people." King Luo, King Tianyan, and the Duke of Wei were on a small boat above the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest, looking down.

As first-rank powerhouses, they could naturally occupy the best positions.

However, this grand occasion also shocked them.

"If Zhao Xing's legal theory can meet expectations, there will be three major benefits, so naturally there are many people." King Tianyan smiled slightly. "What are the three major benefits?" the Duke of Wei asked; although he had read the classic treatises, he had only thought of a part of it.

King Tianyan said: "First, it is beneficial to military agricultural officials. If the legal theory meets the expectations brought by the classic treatises, then the combat power of the Original Self School's military agricultural officials will naturally rise."

"Because war is nothing more than heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony; afterward, the status of the Original Self School's military agricultural officials will also rise accordingly."

King Luo agreed: "Not bad. Just looking at the data from the Great War of Pacifying the Barbarians, the agricultural officials accompanying the various legions were basically from the Heavenly Timing and Geographical Advantage schools. The Original Self School was mainly concentrated in supply cities farming; very few were on the front lines."

King Tianyan continued: "The second is the literary agricultural officials. The principle is the same as for military agricultural officials. Although there was originally the 'Disaster Prevention Herbal Classic,' Original Self School agricultural officials were mostly in assistant positions in the Agricultural Supervision."

"If native species and derivative species can change heavenly timing and adjust geographical advantages, then the positions of chief officials will inevitably have to consider Original Self School agricultural officials more in the future."

"The third is fame."

"When the above two situations occur, fame will naturally increase, and the impression of the Original Self School will also change accordingly."

"It can be expected that the status of Original Self School agricultural officials will gradually improve in the future."

"With classic treatises, legal theories, plus fame, as well as adjustments in policy and increased resources, the influence will become greater and greater."

"The probability of the Original Self School producing Great Agricultural Officials in the future will also greatly increase; at the very least, when competing with the Heavenly Timing and Geographical Advantage schools, the advantage will improve significantly."

The three were all people of great foresight and immediately understood the fundamental reason why Zhao Xing could cause such a sensation. The Duke of Wei smiled: "Tianyan, you are a Fate Official; why not take a look and see if Zhao Xing's legal theory this time can actually meet expectations?"

Yes, the premise of everything was that the actual effect of Zhao Xing's legal theory this time had to meet expectations.

Otherwise, classic treatises alone would be useless; that would be equivalent to bragging, just the Original Self School getting high on itself.

To truly cause the three types of influence mentioned just now, it still had to be based on reality.

Agricultural officials are pragmatic, and the imperial court wouldn't talk about those empty, flashy things.

King Tianyan stared below; he was looking at the scene below, but in his eyes, the future was reflected.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.

The Duke of Wei asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

King Tianyan pondered: "Well—"

"Crack, crack, crack~" Now not only did King Luo want to hit him, but even the Duke of Wei's fists were clenched tight.

"Wait, don't hit, I'll say it." King Tianyan immediately didn't dare to keep them in suspense anymore. "I saw Zhao Xing being bowed to by the eight powerhouses on the Pine Forest Platform; it should meet expectations."

The lecture started at the fourth quarter of the Weishi hour; Zhao Xing had arrived at the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest at the first quarter of the Weishi hour with Xu Xing, Liu Tianning, and a group of big shots.

"Look quickly, it's Zhao Xing!"

"It's Dr. Zhao!"

"The Marquis of Divine Might!"

"Master Zhao is here!"

After Zhao Xing appeared, a burst of cheers erupted below.

"Why are there so many people?"

Zhao Xing was startled.

As the saying goes, once people exceed ten thousand, it looks like a sea of people.

Right now, here, it was simply endless; could it be over one hundred thousand?

He glanced at Liu Tianning. Teacher, these aren't shills you invited, right?

He suspected Old Liu had ordered people to be forcibly summoned to attend the lecture.

Liu Tianning shook his head slightly; he hadn't done such a thing. Forcing people in such matters would only bring bad reputation to his disciple.

"I did indeed make some arrangements in the process, but I didn't issue an order," Liu Tianning transmitted his voice.

To be honest, he hadn't expected his disciple to be so popular.

The power of appeal is only reflected when it is used.

It was fine not to open the Dao-discussion field, but once opened, it was immediately clear at a glance.

"It's truly surprising," Jiang Yaochun sighed.

Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danian, Yu Xia, and other vice-deans couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

How many years had it been since Shangluo Academy had such a grand occasion?!

It was just that he didn't know if Zhao Xing could handle such a big stage.

Dao-discussion also follows a process; it's not just talking nonsense.

For a public grand scene like this, Zhao Xing would speak first.

After finishing the theory and law completely.

High-rankers would come out to ask questions and discuss the Dao with Zhao Xing.

Because Shangluo Academy was already a holy land for agricultural officials, the big shots' evaluation of Zhao Xing would be equivalent to official certification; there was no need to find a recommender like in the Tianyuan Prefecture branch and then send it to the main academy.

The opening of the Dao-discussion had the voice of a Rites Cultivator spread throughout the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest.

"Listen to the Great Dao, the body's rites are still!"

The voice was like a law, echoing in everyone's mind; everyone's body subconsciously calmed down.

No more talking or making noise, no more walking around at will, no more excessive excitement; everyone stayed quietly in place.

This method was also a type of Rites Cultivator's silence spell, but it was more advanced and gentle, suitable for use during lectures, sacrifices, and guest ceremonies.

"The determination of rites, determines the monkey-mind and horse-intent."

The crowd at Songshan immediately stopped letting their thoughts wander; this was the Rites Cultivator helping people enter a focused learning state.

"The soul of rites, increases the strength of all living things, grows the energy of all living things, and awakens the wisdom of all living things."

At this time, faint golden light rippled on everyone's body, and their seven souls were all significantly temporarily increased.

If it was said that they had entered an absolutely focused state before, then now, both wisdom and strength had increased.

The Rites Cultivator's "Intelligence-Reducing Method" was the opposite of this, which was the "Intelligence-Awakening Method."

Of course, the "Soul of Rites" cast by the Duke of Wei was an all-around improvement.

Usually, lectures are very long, and thinking for the listeners is also very energy-consuming.

Therefore, the opening Rites Cultivator not only temporarily improved the listeners' thinking ability and learning ability but also boosted their physical strength.

Even for a ninth-rank, they could maintain a peak state without eating or drinking for half a month.

Zhao Xing looked around and couldn't help but nod slightly.

At this time, in the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest, spiritual energy was arranged in a neat and unique way, lingering beside countless people's bodies.

It was only in a holy land like Shangluo Academy, where spiritual energy was abundant and the Dao field had the assistance of magic arrays, that the Rites Cultivator's method...

... ould command the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, radiating such a large scale with powerful effects.

Even Zhao Xing himself was affected under the spell of a first-rank Rites Cultivator.

He felt his seven souls rise in a short time, and his state was at an unprecedented peak.

Everything was ready.

Zhao Xing flew onto the highest section of the divine wood in the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest.

Ascending the divine wood high platform to preach in the open air is called "high talk and broad discussion."

Around him, there were eight shorter divine woods; those were reserved for the questioners in the second process.

At this time, the growth rings on the divine wood lecture platform were emitting light in circles.

There was a hundred-flower meditation cushion on it; Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, and a cool feeling came over him.

When he sat down, the circles of growth rings around the divine wood immediately rose.

Amplification growth rings!

Zhao Xing didn't need to exert effort himself; his voice could reach far away, and in everyone's ears, it was a tone of considerable volume.

It was as if Zhao Xing was whispering in the listener's ear.

"That which roots belong to is plants. They possess material nature, self nature, and Dao nature," Zhao Xing's voice was melodious.

He still started with the "Plant Jurisprudence: Three Natures Theory."

Because the "Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects" was a further elaboration on the three natures of plants.

"Material sees its principle, self sees its Dao, Dao sees its law."

"Original self is heaven and earth; peeking into the Dao of the original self is peeking into the changes of heaven and earth."

"Understand material nature to know its principle; understand Dao nature to know its law."

"What is the use of principle?"

"Plant a hundred herbs to change heavenly timing; plant ten thousand trees to nourish geographical advantage."

Zhao Xing began to tell the core ideology of his two classic treatises.

"In a land of poisonous miasma, how can it be turned into fertile soil? Poisonous miasma is caused by the chaos of the six qi of heaven; cold, yin, dryness, darkness, and brightness intersect to produce it, which is the evil qi of heaven."

"When plants are absorbed into the original self, the six qi disperse, yin and yang return to balance, and heavenly timing is changed."

"The Earth Fire Lotus takes root in the Flame Mountain; over time, the earth fire sun turns into lesser yang. With many who plant it, the million-mile Flame Mountain also turns into a spirit mountain."

"Desert dust storms fly; planting a million trees can block them, and the desert also turns into an oasis."

"Wherever forests are lush, there are many clouds and rain—"

At this time, both the theory and legal theory had been mentioned, but they were still not specific enough.

"The Dao of the original self, cultivating divine branches and immortal wood, uses material nature to change heavenly timing."

"The fifth-rank Spirit Firmament Wood likes to absorb the brilliance of morning clouds and evening mist. Where its branches are extremely spread out, it can gather cloud qi."

"Its roots can draw water from the earth veins. Widely planting Spirit Firmament Wood on mountain peaks and wilderness, its function of gathering cloud qi, every time there is a great drought..."

"... he cloud qi gathered by the Spirit Firmament Wood gradually thickens, which can induce sweet rain; this is the method of using plant nature to change drought timing."

"The six qi of heavenly timing: wind, cold, summer heat, dryness, dampness, and fire."

"The four seasons match the five elements, called 'Heavenly Timing Seasonal Movement.' The whole year's heavenly timing follows five-step seasonal movement, starting from the wood movement season, ending at the fire movement season, earth movement season, metal movement season, and water movement season."

"If the main qi is chaotic in the wood element and cannot be used month by month, one can move and plant Spirit Firmament Wood in the east."

"Ten turns of the growth rings, the seasonal movement reaches seventy-three days and zero point five quarters, which can change the chaos of the wood main qi 'dampness' by one to three levels."

"Twenty turns of the growth rings can change the 'chaos of dampness' by four to six levels."

"If the heavenly timing main qi is chaotic in the fire element, Spirit Firmament Wood can be planted in the due north; fire and wood are located in the north, and the change of damp qi can be leveled."

"If it is the chaos of the main qi of cold? Then plant it in the west, eight quarters of growth rings, following the water seasonal movement to winter storage—"

From this moment on, what Zhao Xing spoke of were specific spell-casting schemes.

And it was combined with the "inner six qi" and "five elements seasonal movement" of the "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Heavenly Cycle Theory."

Because these two chapters could be understood and applied by agricultural officials who had never studied the Heavenly Timing School's jurisprudence at all.

Inner six qi originates from the sensing of one's own inner five elements heaven and earth; it doesn't matter if one doesn't understand outer six qi, heaven and earth qi, or...

... orning glow and evening twilight qi.

Original Self School agricultural officials must at least cultivate the Yin-Yang Original Self Classic.

As long as one starts cultivating the Yin-Yang Original Self Classic, middle-rankers are basically at the second realm, able to perceive the five elements qi as thin as silk.

Additionally, the five elements stems and branches are the basic knowledge of agricultural officials, so the legal theory Zhao Xing spoke of could be understood even by agricultural officials of the lower three ranks.

"If the main six qi is chaotic in wind, then change the wind-rolling grass and plant it to the west of the earth wind."

"If the main six qi is chaotic in summer heat, one can divide it into autumn seasonal movement and summer heat seasonal movement."

"If the disaster level is middle-three rank, one can plant Flame Yang Vine, whose nature is extremely yang."

"Flame Yang Vine can follow yang qi, slowly disperse in the wilderness, and block the erosion of heavenly timing summer heat on the earth veins—"

"If it is dry heat, it can be rooted ten to fifty zhang into the earth vein baseline."

"If it is damp heat, it can be rooted fifty to one hundred zhang into the earth vein baseline."

The summer heat, dry heat, and damp heat of the six qi of heavenly timing are all different.

Using the sensing of the five elements within the human body, standing outside is hot, while standing inside the house is cool, which is yang fire.

At this time, the Warm Splendor Bottle cannot play a measuring role.

For example, the heat of midsummer; after dark, the water is still hot. But the heat of late autumn, as soon as it gets dark, the water cools down.

Since it cannot erode the earth qi itself, the planting depth of the Flame Yang Vine cannot be the same.

Zhao Xing spoke about the legal theory chapter for a long time, from September 6th all the way to October 10th.

He did not involve the material nature of upper-three rank plants, and he spoke little about the material nature of lower-three rank plants. But he spoke extensively about the material nature of middle-three rank plants.

Because the Original Self School can only open pure essence soil at the fifth rank, corresponding to middle-three rank plants.

Lower-three rank plants have too weak an effect, so there is no point in talking about them; upper-three rank plants are too rare, and many are very unique, so they cannot be planted on a large scale, so talking about them doesn't have representative significance.

Even though Zhao Xing spoke very quickly, he still spoke for a full month.

It involved thirty-seven thousand types of common five-element attribute plants.

It covered all classes, categories, and systems.

In the first few days, the lower-three rank agricultural officials could still understand, but later, when it involved middle-three rank plants, the lower-rank agricultural officials found it very difficult to understand.

Because Zhao Xing no longer just listed single plants, complex combinations began to appear.

"Can you understand?" the Duke of Wei asked King Luo.

"Why would I need to understand?" King Luo shrugged. "Just looking at the reactions of those doctors and dean-level people, I know the effect of the legal theory has reached their expectations."

"I don't understand either," King Tianyan smiled. "However, it's enough that they understand."

The middle-rank agricultural officials didn't just understand; they were shocked. At this time, the "Disease, Pregnancy, Remnant" trio were already so excited they were slapping their thighs.

"Damn, I never thought that besides being used to blow people up, firecrackers could also be used to adjust earth veins!" Xin Bojian was very excited. Their voices were only manifested in a small range and would not affect others.

"No wonder when I used to manage according to the 'Disaster Prevention Herbal Classic,' I always felt there was a problem. Changing to another place, the effect would be much worse, and sometimes, the effect would be too strong." She Gongzhi slapped his own mouth.

"I am truly stupid. Such a simple principle? I actually didn't think about why this was."

"Senior Brother, slap harder," Wen Weiqi laughed. "I think you were just being stupid."

"Hmm?"

"You think it's simple because Dr. Zhao said it, and you only think it's simple after doing it."

"Slap!"

After speaking for a month, lower-rank agricultural officials gradually couldn't hold on and began to leave the venue.

But after they left, they ate and drank their fill and quickly came back in.

Those who wanted convenience just took water to drink around the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest.

During this month, the lakes around Songshan were actually all drained!

"How is the painting?" On a small Warm Bamboo flying boat, Ji Zixuan looked to the side.

There was a painting studio there with twelve painters who were painting.

There were already a large number of painting drafts on it.

Some paintings recorded the environmental changes of the Songshan Dao-Discussion Forest when Zhao Xing was preaching.

Some paintings recorded the intoxicated and surprised expressions of the listeners.

Of course, more paintings were of Zhao Xing's heroic posture when preaching.

"Please take a look, Princess," a painter organized them into a volume. "This is a compilation of the fine-edited painting album of the Marquis of Divine Might preaching for over a month."

Ji Zixuan pulled out some to check.

"Painting of the Marquis of Divine Might Preaching at Songshan"

"Painting of Ten Thousand People Taking Water from the Forest Pool"

"Divine Wood Lecture Platform"

"Not bad," Ji Zixuan nodded. "All painters shall be rewarded; for those selected, the reward will be doubled."

"Thank you, Princess," the painter bowed respectfully.

Ji Zixuan held the painting album and returned to her boat, treasuring it.

A moment later, she walked out and found that the lecture was still continuing.

She couldn't help but be stunned; how could it not be finished yet?

Of course it wasn't finished!

Zhao Xing's "Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects" was now expanding the foundation of legal theory; he had only just finished talking about material nature among the three natures.

There was still "self nature" and "Dao nature" that hadn't been talked about yet.

Until October 11th, Zhao Xing began to talk about "self nature" and "Dao nature."

Further perfecting the two chapters of the "Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects."

"Inwardly exploring the subtlety of life, outwardly verifying the pivot of the Great Dao."

"The existence of the inner scene first lies in the dantian."

"The dantian is the place where the essence of the human body gathers."

"The wonder of the scene land lies not only in one's own cultivation but also in the sensing of heaven and earth."

"Humans are the heart of heaven and earth; the qi in the body communicates with the qi of heaven and earth."

"Those who cultivate to the depths can observe the changes of heaven and earth in the inner scene land."

"When spring is born, the inner machine is vigorous, like all things reviving; when summer grows, it is prosperous and enthusiastic, like the scorching sun; when autumn harvests, it gradually converges, like grain returning to the granary; when winter stores, it guards within, like hibernating insects."

This is the principle of the inner heaven and earth of the human body corresponding to the great heaven and earth of Xuanhuang.

Zhao Xing wanted his theory to become a classic work; how could it lack the discussion of the Dao of the original self?

Of course, his Dao was not yet perfect, and he could only touch upon it lightly while expounding on self nature and Dao nature at the third-rank realm.

But this framework had to exist.

Otherwise, if he didn't supplement it, it would be supplemented by others in the future.

"Inwardly walking heaven and earth, using self nature to control heavenly timing and geographical advantage, is seeing its Dao."

"Pure essence turns into soil, nourishing Dao nature, which is the native species."

"Inner heaven and earth condenses divine splendor, analyzes the principles of heaven and earth, strengthens the foundation of the Dao, and folds the chaos of the outer Dao—"

On the high platform, Chu Qianqiu, Yu Xia, Zhuang Danian, and the deans and classic-studying doctors of the seven academies suddenly had their pupils tremble.

Because Zhao Xing actually began to discuss Dao nature!

And he included all the four classic methods of the Original Self School.

"He is trying to hide ten thousand laws in one classic, trying to sweep up the classics of the Original Self School in one go!" Jiang Yaochun couldn't help but sigh.

"Placed in the ancient times, this is a person of the level of establishing a Dao," the middle-aged woman's eyes had rays of light.

"Monster—" Chu Qianqiu's lips moved; he completely didn't know what to say anymore.

What Zhao Xing said later was what truly shocked these high-rank powerhouses.

He began to expound on the true Great Dao of the Original Self School!

"The principle of the original self is the principle of heaven and earth."

"The law of the original self is the law of heaven and earth."

"The Dao of the original self is the Dao of heaven and earth."

"This is material seeing its principle, self seeing its law, and law seeing its Dao!"

Until this moment, Zhao Xing finally stopped his voice and stood up from the divine wood lecture platform.

The surroundings were silent; at this time, the second process should begin—sending several deans and doctors up to discuss the Dao with Zhao Xing.

But at this time, these people had forgotten about this!

It was too shocking!

"A classic is born!"

"This is no longer an elaboration on the Theory of Original Self and Heavenly Objects, but a school in itself."

"Starting from the three-natures theory, citing extensively, it includes the essential elaboration on the Yin-Yang Original Self Classic, as well as the evolution of pure essence soil and the inner five-elements four-seasons theory—"

"If this kid supplements the advanced Dao and law, he will really become a founding ancestor in the future."

"I observe that he seems to have more to say; could it be that he already has a draft?"

"Impossible, right? He just entered the third rank!"

"In the current situation, what else is impossible."

Zhao Xing indeed still had things he hadn't shaken out.

Not to mention the distant ones, the "Hundred Objects Legal Soldier Theory" and "Heaven and Earth Seed Soldier Classic" on how to use military types for combat were all enough to change the current combat style of the Original Self School's military agricultural officials.

But it was impossible for him to write them out now.

One was that his understanding of the Dao was not enough; he was only at the third rank, so it was not the time.

The second was to leave it for further perfection in the future, to be used as capital to integrate the three schools.

"Writing classics when young without restraint, what to do when old?" Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Still have to be cautious; meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked one step at a time."

Just with what was currently there, it was enough to shock the high-level officials of Shangluo Academy to the point of no return.

Xu Xing said to Liu Tianning with incomparable rejoicing: "Tianning, you have worked hard."

Liu Tianning shook his head with a bitter smile.

Yes, having a disciple like Zhao Xing, his pressure had also come up now!

It was truly the cycle of the Heavenly Dao!

Back then at the Soul-Sacrificing Pass, when Liu Tianning was cultivating Zhao Xing, he said a sentence: "Your pressure is not enough."

Now it was good; it was Zhao Xing's turn to put pressure on him, this teacher.

Just looking at the reactions of the many powerhouses of the seven academies below, one knew that Zhao Xing would reach a terrifying level of influence after this lecture.

"If the one competing with you wasn't Chu Qianqiu, but Zhao Xing, even if he wasn't as strong as you, I'm afraid many old guys would stand out and carry him to sit in this dean's position."

"Teacher, you are still laughing." Liu Tianning was helpless because what Xu Xing said really had some truth to it!

Xu Xing laughed happily: "Why can't I laugh? I'm almost dead, and I don't have any pressure."

When he rose to power back then, he just killed, killed, killed; no one of the same rank was his opponent.

It had the same effect as Li Boqian.

As a result, when it came to the generation of Liu Tianning, Wang Tianzhi, and Meng Kun.

Good fellow, they were all monsters.

"Don't just stand there; host the Dao-discussion stage," Xu Xing said happily.

Liu Tianning nodded and then flew onto the second-highest of the eight divine woods.

The Dao-discussion stage was not about attacking each other, but through the two people talking about their understanding of the Dao, mixed with the demonstration of spells.

Letting the bystanders get inspiration.

Therefore, this was not a confrontational Dao-discussion.

The discussers were also not just anyone.

They were selected.

There had to be people from the lower three ranks, middle three ranks, and upper three ranks.

To show the academy's open-mindedness, not discussing the Dao based on status and strength.

Hum~

Not long after, eight people flew onto the divine wood platform.

The high-rankers included Liu Tianning, Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danian, and Yu Xia.

The middle-rankers included Wei Zhao, Yang Song, and Wen Weiqi.

As for the lower-rankers, there was only one woman.

A total of eight people flew onto the divine platform.

"Greetings, everyone," Zhao Xing stood at the edge of the divine platform and bowed to the crowd.

The eight people also returned the bow and then said: "Greetings, Dr. Zhao."

Among the eight people, the one who spoke first was actually the agricultural official with the lowest rank, only ninth-rank—Qiu Yuesheng.

As a representative, she was basically just there to go through the motions.

It was impossible for her to raise any substantive questions.

So her question was also very simple:

"Dr. Zhao, my name is Qiu Yuesheng. I would like to ask Dr. Zhao a question," Qiu Yuesheng said crisply.

"Please speak," Zhao Xing reached out.

"Dr. Zhao, you said to use plants to command heavenly timing and use plants to control geographical advantage. Do you feel that the Original Self School should be the head of the three schools?"

The voice was transmitted through the amplification growth rings, and everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Actually, Zhao Xing's original words in the new chapters were "change heavenly timing" and "nourish geographical advantage."

But after two years of fermentation, in the mouths of many people at Shangluo Academy, it became the meaning of "commanding heavenly timing" and "controlling geographical advantage."

How uplifting it was to say it like that!

Directly raising the Original Self School to the position of the boss of the three schools!

When going out, one's status is given by oneself!

In the future, when going out and seeing those Heavenly Timing School and Geographical Advantage School agricultural officials, even if arguing and bickering, there would be reasons and evidence.

So when Qiu Yuesheng asked this question, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xing also laughed; he seemed to feel countless earnest gazes.

Although it was a fact that the Heavenly Timing School was the mainstream, here, many people still wanted to hear him say some encouraging words.

But the Heavenly Timing School and Geographical Advantage School wouldn't like it if they heard it, so this could be considered a sharp question.

This person from Shangluo Academy was not chosen in vain.

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Yes, of course I hope the Dao of the Original Self becomes the strongest, so that my teacher might become the first Great Agricultural Official in the history of this dynasty."

"One person attains the Dao, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; wouldn't I also be able to rise quickly?"

A sharp question answered with a joke.

Saying it was a hope was not wrong, and spreading it out couldn't be considered belittling the other two schools.

Zhao Xing's words immediately brought another burst of laughter.

Qiu Yuesheng bowed: "Thank you, Dr. Zhao, for the answer. I wish Dr. Zhao success in his wishes."

Following closely were Wei Zhao, Yang Song, and Wen Weiqi.

Qiu Yuesheng cupped his hands: "Many thanks to Dr. Zhao for the clarification. I wish Dr. Zhao all your heart's desires."

Following him were Wei Zhao, Yang Song, and Wen Weiqi.

These three were all at the Fourth Rank Perfection.

Their discussion of the Dao was not as casual as Qiu Yuesheng's; they all spoke with substance.

It was about the confusion that arose while listening to Zhao Xing expound on the Dao.

"Dr. Zhao said that one should use the plant element to regulate the five-element earth veins and balance the six Qi of Heaven."

"I have also studied Dr. Zhao's 'Theory of the Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Heavenly Cycle'."

"The host Qi narrates the constant, while the guest Qi measures the change."

"If a county's land experiences 'earthworm phenological change' due to the disorder of the six Qi and the imbalance of Yin and Yang, how should one use cultivated plants to pacify it?"

Zhao Xing calmly said: "The seventy-two phenological periods of the monthly ordinances state that in the first period of the fourth month, 'earth dragon worm change' will appear."

"This phenological change occurs at the beginning of summer."

"Summer means 'false'; things at this time are all falsely large."

"Earthworm phenological change is caused by absorbing excessive Qi, usually dominated by Yin change."

"Of course, one cannot exclude the situation of fire worms, which absorb the pure Yang Qi and are dominated by Yang change."

"Once you know where the crux of the problem lies, it is easy to solve," Zhao Xing said. "The first period is about to begin; this is the disorder of Qi, which is also the disorder of the Earth's Qi. You can cover it with Yin-attribute earth wood to suppress its change."

This answer does not consider the situation where the change has already occurred.

Because if the phenological change has already occurred, it is actually easy to handle: just mobilize the army to kill the species undergoing the change.

However, this is only a stopgap measure; after killing them, the Qi is still in disorder.

It may also continue to produce a new round of phenological changes.

Usually, when we talk about pacifying phenological changes, we refer to before or after the change.

This is the method Zhao Xing just pointed out.

Of course, the speed at which the Self-Nature School handles phenological abnormalities is relatively slow.

The spells of the Earthly Advantage School and the Heavenly Timing School are more effective.

But even if the effect is slow, it can still be used.

Next, the three of them continuously raised doubts, and they didn't stop until they felt unsatisfied after talking for three full days.

When the three finished their courtesies, it was the turn for the High Rank discussion.

What Liu Tianning discussed was the Dao related to the Myriad Law Straw Man.

There was nothing much to say about this; Old Liu was more than capable of teaching Zhao Xing now.

He used the Myriad Law Straw Man to cut into the topic, explaining the material nature, self-nature, and Dao-nature of the straw man magic object within the Self-Nature School.

Basically, it was Zhao Xing who was asking and listening.

Between one question and one answer, the ultimate magic of the Self-Nature School was added to Zhao Xing's treatises.

The two talked for two and a half days before finishing.

"Many thanks, Master, for clearing my doubts," Zhao Xing cupped his hands.

Liu Tianning returned the salute: "Learning has no order of priority; the one who achieves is the master. I have also gained a lot. Thank you, Dr. Zhao, for clearing my doubts."

Old Liu is truly a good person; even at this time, he didn't forget to praise his student.

The second person to discuss the Dao with Zhao Xing was Chu Qianqiu, the Dean of the Military Envoy Academy.

"Spring rain on sword bamboo, sharp enough to be soldiers, blowing wind to thaw; heavy fog rises."

"Plucking leaves to make golden knives, gathering bamboo soldiers into battle formations."

"How to interpret material nature, self-nature, and Dao-nature?"

Chu Qianqiu's question was not difficult; after all, he couldn't possibly say some profound and mysterious questions at this time.

To make things difficult for Zhao Xing.

Unless he was tired of living.

But his question was not simple either, because if Zhao Xing didn't understand the 'grass and trees are all soldiers' tactic, and didn't understand the characteristics of various high-rank troop types,

it would be very difficult to answer.

In addition, he also had to cut into his own treatise.

Chu Qianqiu's question was also testing whether Zhao Xing had involved himself in high-rank troop type legal theory.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said:

"Spring rain sword bamboo, hiding gold and eating water, the harmony of pure Yang arrives and becomes firm, condensing and dispersing with one thought, thus there is frost and cold, fog and knot when moving!"

"Morning Qi flying clouds, flying means the killing intent is flourishing!"

"Using spring rain bamboo soldiers to kill the remaining winter vitality, balancing Yin and Yang, this is called the Great Dao!"

Chu Qianqiu's heart was shaken; an expert knows if there is skill the moment they make a move.

Zhao Xing answered the material nature of the spring rain sword bamboo.

Explaining from the perspective of the treatise why the movement of spring rain sword bamboo would trigger celestial phenomena.

Secondly, he explained self-nature and Dao-nature.

Using the self to control sword bamboo will naturally produce killing intent. How is killing intent produced?

It's like working on a hot day; one will become irritable and lose patience.

A person's inner heaven and earth determine emotional changes. Pure Yang flying clouds, killing intent is flourishing; this is the 'self-nature' produced by controlling plant troop types.

The last paragraph is an exposition on Dao-nature.

Describing the killing characteristics of spring rain sword bamboo from the perspective of the Dao, which conforms to the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

"This kid really has quite a lot of research on the Dao of troop type killing," Chu Qianqiu thought to himself.

Being able to answer so quickly clearly means he has the Dao in his heart, only lacking the technique in his hands.

And the latter only needs time to be slowly cultivated.

"Great!"

Chu Qianqiu praised him. He had no difficult questions left, because he believed Zhao Xing was on the right path.

This is a path he is also walking. Regardless of the disputes he and Liu Tianning had before, at this moment, he and Zhao Xing are like-minded.

They can sit and discuss the Dao.

Therefore, Chu Qianqiu's subsequent questions were all exploratory in nature, and he also poured out his insights to help Zhao Xing complete the framework for the high-rank stage.

When it was the turn of Zhuang my lord and Yu Xia, the direction of their discussion of the Dao was different again.

The Dao they talked about involved blessed lands.

The five-element Dao of blessed lands is quite unique.

The two of them discussing the Dao with Zhao Xing now allowed Zhao Xing to check for omissions and fill in gaps in his own treatises, preventing people from finding loopholes in this direction.

Due to the complexity of blessed lands, their discussion of the Dao lasted for another full half month.

It didn't end until early November.

The end of the Dao discussion stage meant that this lecture had come to an end.

With this public lecture, Zhao Xing established his status in the Shangluo Academy in one fell swoop; he became the number two figure, second only to Liu Tianning.

The Songshan Dao Discussion Forest, which lasted from early September to early November, also became the most far-reaching, widely attended, and highest-quality Dao discussion conference in the last three thousand years.

It is foreseeable that the content regarding Zhao Xing and his treatises will, in the next few years, spread like a storm,

beginning to sweep across the nineteen continents.

And in the more distant future, whether in civil or military positions, a large number of Self-Nature School agricultural officials will emerge.

The Shangluo Academy of this generation is destined to become extraordinary because of Zhao Xing.

After the discussion ended, Zhao Xing returned to the courtyard arranged for him by Old Liu to rest, and he refused all visits and requests for advice.

The magic of ritual cultivation can improve a person's essence, Qi, and spirit, but one will feel particularly exhausted afterward.

As the protagonist of the lecture, Zhao Xing lectured for over a month and discussed the Dao with others for over a month. Even with his abundant energy, he felt fatigue.

The process of resting was also a process of taking various treasures from the Shangluo Academy.

"Hoo~ This is much more tiring than fighting a war," Zhao Xing said while soaking in the hot spring.

This hot spring is one of the top ten vitality hot springs in the Shenhua Academy.

The Shenhua Academy directly allocated one for Zhao Xing's use.

"Now it is the seventh day after the Dao discussion ended."

"Within the seven days after it ended, I have been eating and drinking, taking various high-rank fruits within the Shangluo Academy."

"Old Liu has really become prosperous; he picks ninth-rank fruits as soon as he says so."

"He stuffed me with several bottles of plant vitality liquid calculated by the drop," Zhao Xing picked up a fruit and took a bite; the fragrance overflowed.

In these few days, he didn't do anything but eat and drink!

Because his foundation was sufficiently solid, his Dao body, including his life soul, were all rising rapidly.

Changing his posture while lying down, Zhao Xing continued to sort out his future plans.

"I set off on the third day of the fifth month, and now it is November 10th."

"The Jingxin calendar is also about to end."

"Sure enough, the vacation given by the Heavenly Derivation Prince is not enough," Zhao Xing couldn't help but think.

He hasn't even been to Tianyong Prefecture yet; he has stayed in Daoyuan Continent for so long.

And at this time, the Jing Emperor already had the intention to change the reign title.

A small number of people already knew that the next reign title would be "Dazhi," but it had not been officially confirmed yet.

"Undoubtedly, the Dazhi reign title is again to paralyze those powerful families, clans, and the old remnants of the Dao Academy," Zhao Xing closed his eyes, leisurely biting a bright red fruit.

"Now that it is 'Great Governance,' it's time to put away the swords and guns, let the horses graze on the southern mountains, and it's time to settle down."

"The result is turning the martial fire into civil fire, and the powerful families ushered in sixty years of suffering."

"They were fooled to no end."

"However, during the Dazhi years, there is indeed only the matter of the Longting Ancient Land," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If he didn't plan to leave the territory of the Great Zhou, then the Longting Ancient Land would be the focus for the next period of time. "Time is tight, and I can't stay in the Shangluo Academy for too long. After going to Tianyong Prefecture, I must return as soon as possible."

"The Longting Ancient Land will open in the summer of the third year of Dazhi; I have about two and a half years of preparation time," Zhao Xing opened a crystal box, and a transparent fruit appeared in front of him.

Heavenly Soul Fruit! After taking it, even if the life soul is beaten to a state of void, it is a pseudo-void, and it can still be gathered again and turned into a Yin Spirit body.

"The treasures I can eat at the current stage in the Shangluo Academy can probably make my life soul fully reach the late stage of the Third Rank,

the top-level Myriad Law Dao body enter the mid-stage of the Third Rank, and the First Rank true intent slowly grow."

"Then, I will immediately go to Tianyong Prefecture to get the benefits given by the Heavenly Yang True Lord."

"When I come back, I have to make up for the defects."

Zhao Xing once broke through the levels in the Canghai Blessed Land.

He discovered his own shortcomings while breaking through the levels.

For example, one of the levels, 【Dragon Language Decree】, was his weak point; he couldn't compare to those old pedants at all.

In addition, the current level is also different.

"I am now at the mid-stage of the Third Rank, and my life soul has reached the late stage of the Third Rank."

"My competitors are no longer at the mid-rank."

The Third Rank does not need to participate in the selection; a portion of the imperial court's quota is directly given to high-rank powerhouses.

At that time, they were competing for quotas among the mid-ranks.

Zhao Xing didn't think at the time that he could break through to the Third Rank so quickly in the Jing Emperor's dynasty. So, plans can't keep up with changes.

He is now facing competition among high-ranks, and his original preparations seem somewhat insufficient.

"The Longting Ancient Land opens once every hundred years. My first time entering, the requirements are not high. If I can bring out one divine artifact, obtain a small amount of spiritual energy, and then let the Void Seed sprout, it will be considered meeting expectations."

The Longting Ancient Land does not only have the imperial court's personnel.

The water tribes that have not yet surrendered, sect powerhouses, the Southern Wilderness, the Eastern Ying kingdoms, and various forces will all be mixed in.

"Meeting this expectation is enough. The next time the Longting Ancient Land opens, it will be completely different," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He still has many 'laws' that he hasn't learned yet, and the levels are not high.

Learning spells of Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage, from entering the top-level law to small success, and then to great success, cannot be learned in a few years.

There is also the combined cultivation of plant troop types of the Self-Nature School, which all require a lot of time to take shape.

The Longting Ancient Land opens once every hundred years. A hundred years later, Zhao Xing's strength will definitely increase significantly.

After confirming the plan, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and grabbed the bamboo boxes one by one.

"I'll eat!"

The 37th year of the Jingxin calendar, December 5th.

Zhao Xing took and swallowed a large number of treasures in the Shangluo Academy, basically filling up all the treasures he could eat and use in a short time.

His top-level Dao body reached the mid-stage of the Third Rank, and his life soul reached the late stage of the Third Rank.

"As expected of the most solid foundation in the world, eating so many treasures, the top-level Dao body only reached the mid-stage of the Third Rank, still six-level soil, and the life soul only reached the late stage of the Third Rank," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

It seems like the growth is not big, but it is actually very exaggerated!

Because he is a Myriad Law Dao body, condensing a true intent that can grow to the First Rank.

In addition, his life soul at the late stage of the Third Rank has reached all seven life souls!

"No wonder Chu Qianqiu opposed it at the beginning; if the resources I ate were calculated by price, it would be an astronomical figure."

1

The trip to the Shangluo Academy made Zhao Xing gain a lot.

However, it was also on December 5th that he decided to set off for Tianyong Prefecture.

"Zhao Xing, I can't accompany you; I have important matters," Liu Tianning said.

Zhao Xing has so many resources to eat and take, and Liu Tianning has even more.

He still has to inherit many things; even with clones, it is difficult to leave.

"Master, don't worry about me; the Heavenly Derivation Prince will accompany me," Zhao Xing smiled.

Seeing that Zhao Xing had been wandering outside for half a year, the Heavenly Derivation Prince couldn't help but start urging Zhao Xing again.

For this reason, he decided to accompany Zhao Xing to Fengjing to quickly handle the tasks ordered by the Heavenly Yang True Lord.

There are still too many things to do when he returns, the second layer of the Derivation God Technique, and the matching secret techniques... If it weren't for the Heavenly Yang True Lord's orders, the Heavenly Derivation Prince wouldn't want Zhao Xing to go to Tianyong Prefecture.

"Then you must leave quickly," Liu Tianning smiled. "Now your treatises have spread like crazy. If you leave openly, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will go to bother you."

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded.

People fear fame, and pigs fear being fat. This is the peak period of fanaticism; I don't know how many people will come begging to follow Zhao Xing.

Too much trouble!

One can only wait until everyone is accustomed to the new classics, and the fanatical emotions will subside.

"There is one more thing," Liu Tianning said. "Your new treatises have been compiled into books separately. The Academy has summarized them, enough to fill a small room. It is no longer appropriate to call them 'new chapters'."

"You mainly extended the Three Natures Theory of Plant Legal Principles and the Self-Nature Heavenly Object Theory, as well as the Yin-Yang Five Elements Self-Nature Sutra, and the Grass and Wood Great Dao Sutra."

"The Academy named your theories 'Zhao's Two Sutras Commentary Collection' and 'Yin-Yang Five Elements Object Law Theory'. What do you think?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "That's fine."

His current status is not enough to be called a 'Sutra' alone, because Sutras are written by sages and ancestor-level figures. Generally, it is only after many years after death, having experienced ten thousand years of verification, that they can be called Sutras.

Classics are passed down forever; this must be tested by history.

Basically, no living person can create a Sutra.

They are all treatises, that is, commentaries on the great Sutras of the sages, among which the status of legal theory belongs to the highest influence.

Zhao Xing came to the Shangluo Academy, so he should bring some benefits to the Academy.

Let the credit for those compilation works be distributed.

In short, with Old Liu there, it is impossible for there to be a problem of stealing credit.

"The complete treatises need to be printed and promoted throughout the world, which requires reporting to the imperial court, but this process is also fast," Liu Tianning said.

Zhao Xing nodded; the Shangluo Academy is the best authority.

After finishing with Liu, he went to find Xu Xing to say goodbye.

That night, he and the Heavenly Derivation Prince quietly left the Shangluo Academy.

Through the channels of the Lihuo Dao Academy, they left Daoyuan Continent.

Profound Heaven Academy, Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.

Ling Tianchen, the leader of the Phenological Change School, flipped through the materials sent by Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing.

"Isn't it the Self-Nature Heavenly Object Theory? Why has it changed?"

"Zhao Chenan lectured at the Songlin Dao Discussion Field of the Shangluo Academy for over two months, perfecting his two previous new treatises," Hu Yang sighed. "Now both treatises and legal theories are complete."

"Almost forgot that he is also a Saint Son of the Shangluo Academy," Zhang Tianxing smiled. "I think Zhao Xing's plans are not small."

Ling Tianchen nodded: "First there was the Three Yin Three Yang Six Qi Great Heavenly Cycle Theory, and now there are the Two Sutras Commentary Collection and the Yin-Yang Self-Nature Object Law Theory."

"Heavenly Timing Law is top-level, and Self-Nature Law is also top-level. Both law and reason are solid. Liu Tianning really accepted a good disciple."

"The Dean once said he had great ambitions, but I didn't expect them to be this big."

Ling Tianchen also saw Zhao Xing's ambition.

If Zhao Xing only wanted to specialize in one school, it would be very easy for him to become a high-level official of the Heavenly Timing School or the Self-Nature School.

He is still young; even if one day he becomes the leader of the Heavenly Timing School and ascends to the position of Great Agricultural Minister, it is not impossible.

But attacking both schools means he wants to grasp the power of both.

"It's not that easy," Ling Tianchen shook his head.

Not to mention anything else, just within the Profound Heaven Academy, there are five factions.

His Phenological Change Academy has three types of ultimate laws, and there are also factions.

With such a complex situation, how can it be easily sorted out?

"However, he is still young and has the opportunity to learn from mistakes," Ling Tianchen said. "Later he will understand that this path is not that simple."

At this time, Li Boqian had already returned to Tianyong Prefecture, but the Lesser Agricultural Minister Wang Tianzhi, the Blessed Land Agricultural Official and Judicial Official Geng Shouchang,

Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai were still here.

They all stayed in the public office of Dean Lu Chunhua.

Together they looked at Zhao Xing's latest treatises.

"This kid, really—" Geng Shouchang was speechless for a long time after reading it.

Planting all things to command heavenly timing, planting all things to control earthly advantage.

This is outrageous!

Won't the Shangluo Academy turn over and sing in the future?!

"With him doing this, it won't be easy for me to order those Self-Nature School agricultural officials when I return to the blessed land," Heng Yuan smiled.

"There will be quarrels," Geng Shouchang also said.

Sima Yunhai threw it away casually, quite disdainfully.

Wang Tianzhi looked at him: "Yunhai, what is your high opinion?"

Sima Yunhai spread his hands: "Good treatises! But is it that without these treatises, the people of the Self-Nature School would be easy to order?"

"It should be how it is, it will still be how it is."

"In the final analysis, it's about strength."

"Old Geng, when you and Heng Yuan encountered Meng Kun and the others, wasn't it whoever had the bigger fist who went in to recruit first?"

Sima Yunhai said: "Xu Xing could kill the sky back then, but the Great Agricultural Minister is still the Dean of our Profound Heaven Academy."

He was not at all like Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan, who were making a fuss. In Sima Yunhai's view, strength is the hard truth.

Now there is no need to worry about any impact.

However, Wang Tianzhi is still very young and sees things relatively long-term.

"With these treatises, the Shangluo Academy will surely rise in the next hundred years," Wang Tianzhi smiled bitterly.

He was still thinking about serving a few more terms as Great Agricultural Minister after his senior brother left.

Now it's good, Liu Tianning has ascended to the Shangluo Academy, and the vanguard Zhao Xing has challenged seven people, directly killing until no one dares to rebel.

Once the Two Sutras Commentary Collection and the Self-Nature Object Law Theory come out, the strength of the Shangluo Academy will expand significantly in the next hundred years.

The gap in advantage between him and Liu Tianning will likely shrink significantly.

If it were someone else, maybe they could suppress it.

But how to suppress Zhao Xing? People are the ones who wrote the "Three Yin Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory" first.

It was also used in this legal theory.

People are equivalent to fighting themselves, fighting left and right.

There is no high theory aimed at the other Sutra-governing Doctors of the Profound Heaven Academy or Kunyuan Academy.

It seems to be telling everyone present equally that they are all trash.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of these subordinate officials, Wang Tianzhi took the materials back to his room and contacted his senior brother Li Boqian.

"Tianzhi," Li Boqian smiled, "Anxious?"

"Senior brother knows?" Wang Tianzhi was stunned.

"Of course, the Shangluo Academy is also under my jurisdiction," Li Boqian said. "When this kid was lecturing,

I even activated a straw man to listen."

Although Li Boqian doesn't have a top-level Dharma body, he does have a high-level Dharma body.

For him, learning the high-level stage of the Myriad Law Straw Man is not difficult.

Whether it is the Great Agricultural Minister or the Lesser Agricultural Minister, who hasn't dabbled in all three schools?

There is no one who only learns one school; it's just a matter of primary and secondary.

Seeing Wang's words, Li Boqian said: "Look at Tianchen, he is not anxious; he also has ambitions for the position of Great Agricultural Minister. Your current situation, you can't even handle Ling Tianchen, what are you thinking about the future?"

Li Boqian is much older than Wang Tianzhi, and he was the one who taught on behalf of the teacher for the most part. At this time, he was lecturing like an elder: "I think, you have been promoted too fast these years, and you hold too much power, so you are a bit irritable."

"It's better to stop for a while and calm your mind. Resign from the position of Lesser Agricultural Minister and go to the branch academy to be the Dean, focusing on studying law and reason."

"Liu Tianning can go into seclusion for a hundred years; his patience is much stronger than yours."

Wang Tianzhi thought thoughtfully: "Okay, I will listen to senior brother. I will submit my resignation to His Majesty this year and request to be the Dean of the branch academy."

"If I don't achieve anything, I won't come out of the mountains again!"

Li Boqian showed a smile: "That's right; the teacher valued this spirit of yours back then!"

"The Shangluo Academy led by Liu Tianning still has many problems to solve, it's just a treatise. We perceive heavenly timing, and our minds should also be as broad as the sky."

"Senior brother's teaching is correct, I have remembered it," Wang Tianzhi cupped his hands respectfully.

Daoyuan Continent, Kunyuan Academy, Mount Kun.

Gu Zhangqing flew hurriedly into the palace on Mount Kun.

As soon as he came in, he roared:

"Dean Meng, Lord Meng, Old Meng!!"

"What's the matter? So panicked, what kind of decorum is this," Meng Kun scolded.

"Look!" Gu Zhangqing threw a pile of copied Sutras over.

"'Zhao's Two Sutras Commentary Collection', 'Yin-Yang Self-Nature Object Law Theory'—is, is this written by Zhao Xing?" Meng Kun was shocked.

"Yes, he wrote it in the Shangluo Academy," Gu Zhangqing said.

"Have you read it?" Meng Kun asked.

"Read it."

"How is it?"

"A classic work! Can be passed down for ten thousand years!" Gu Zhangqing said. "The conclusion reached by the seven Sutra-governing Doctors I found to analyze it together is that he will completely change the existing pattern of the Shangluo Academy in the near future!"

"What? Let me see," Meng Kun immediately browsed quickly.

When Meng Kun started reading, he immediately started yelling.

"Good, good!"

"Well said!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Meng Kun was so shocked that he started meowing like a cat.

Even after finishing it, he was still immersed in the treatises.

"As expected of a classic!"

The relationship between the Earthly Advantage School and the Self-Nature School is relatively close.

So Meng Kun could understand it quickly and understand the deep meaning.

Gu Zhangqing said: "Old Meng, do you know that once these treatises come out, the status of the Self-Nature School will rise sharply in the next few decades!"

"I'm afraid there will be more people in the world who will cultivate the Dao of Self-Nature, and there will also be more people who become officials."

"How could I not know," Meng Kun looked resentful. "His treatises even put the Self-Nature School above Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage!"

Although the Earthly Advantage School is close to the Self-Nature School, and Meng Kun even has many good friends in the Shangluo Academy.

But his mood at this time is quite complicated.

It belongs to being afraid of the brother's suffering, but also afraid of the brother opening a divine boat.

"Where is he? Is he still in the Shangluo Academy?" Meng Kun gritted his teeth. "This kid, can't let him stay in the Shangluo Academy anymore, must quickly think of a way to trick him to my Kunyuan Academy!"

"Old Gu, go write a letter and scold him! Damn it, the treatises he promised me haven't even appeared yet, and he has created another world-shocking work for the Shangluo Academy."

Meng Kun is like a resentful woman who hasn't been satisfied for a long time.

Too angry!

Why do the Heavenly Timing School and the Self-Nature School both have them, but you kid won't write for the Kunyuan Academy?

Is it because you look down on me, Old Meng?

"Our Kunyuan Academy was the first to act, you hurry up and write a letter, the wording must be severe!"

"Okay!" Gu Zhangqing immediately turned to write a letter.

"Wait!" Meng Kun suddenly stopped Gu Zhangqing again.

"What? Don't tell me you want to run to the Shangluo Academy and scold him in person? That's not necessary, Old Meng."

"You, you don't want to beat him up, right? That's even less necessary," Gu Zhangqing said.

"Neither," Meng Kun said melancholically: "Hey, forget it."

"How about this, you go write a letter, say that I have a serious illness and will soon pass away, and trick him over."

Gu Zhangqing: "... ld Meng, it's not necessary to curse yourself like this."

Meng Kun said: "What is this, don't just stand there, hurry up!"

"This, okay," Gu Zhangqing muttered and flew out of the palace.

However, their plans were destined to fail.

When Gu Zhangqing and Meng Kun contacted Zhao Xing, he had already arrived in Tianyong Prefecture.

"Whose news?" inside the flying boat, the Heavenly Derivation Prince asked.

"Sent by Gu Zhangqing, the Sutra-governing Doctor of the Kunyuan Academy," Zhao Xing's expression was a bit strange.

"What did he say?" the Heavenly Derivation Prince asked.

"Dr. Gu said Dean Meng is critically ill and asked me to go see him quickly, and specifically instructed me to go in person," Zhao Xing said.

"Hahahaha, this little guy Meng Kun," the Heavenly Derivation Prince couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Even a fool can see he is tricking you."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel helpless.

It's not that he wanted to wrong Meng Kun, it's just that time is tight.

Moreover, the Earthly Advantage School itself is a pro-war faction, and he has great confidence in retrieving the divine artifact from the Longting Ancient Land, so he didn't plan to study the treatises of the Earthly Advantage School immediately.

"Although it's fake, I still have to send a clone," between Zhao Xing opening and closing his eyes, a high-rank clone left in the Shangluo Academy rushed toward the Kunyuan Earth Palace.
