Chapter 254

「Ding! Host successfully selected the first group era, designated to summon Zhenyuanzi who lives in harmony with the world and the sovereign. 」

「Ding! Congratulations host obtained Journey to the West era - Zhenyuanzi who lives in harmony with the world and the sovereign! 」

Strength: half-step Cultivation limit.

Implanted identity as one of the agricultural family's foundations, he is the host's great-great-grandfather, the sworn brother of the previous Cloud Prince, who has been secretly watching over the Cloud Prince's Mansion all these years; now seeing that the host already has the potential to transform into a dragon, he feels greatly relieved and decides to extend his support to the host.

「In the third group Qin era, choose Donghuang Taiyi! 」

「Ding! Host successfully selected the third group era, designated to summon Donghuang Taiyi. 」

「Ding! Congratulations host obtained Donghuang Taiyi! 」

Strength: Cultivation peak.

After selecting Zhenyuanzi in the first group Journey to the West era, Su Ye directly skipped the second group.

Directly selected Donghuang Taiyi from the third group.

No way, although the second group's Great Shun era also has many powerful figures, such as Dayu and Gonggong.

But the other groups are even more tempting!

Just, right after Su Ye finished selecting...

「Ding! Detected that the native Yin-Yang family of the Tianwu Continent already has Donghuang Taiyi; the Donghuang Taiyi summoned by the system will merge with the native one. 」

「Therefore, after the system implants, Donghuang Taiyi will have some favor toward the host, but will not directly support the host. 」

Hearing the system's notification sound in his ear, Su Ye's face darkened.

「What does that mean? I summoned in vain? 」

「And I wasted a slot? 」

Su Ye's mouth twitched as he questioned the system.

「Ding! Detected an uncertainty in the system; the host can reselect one person. 」

Facing Su Ye's questioning, the system fell silent, then slowly emitted a notification tone.

「Hmm, this is about right. 」

Su Ye nodded in satisfaction.

After selecting Donghuang Taiyi, he had already anticipated that such a faction leader...

It definitely couldn't be like Zhenyuanzi.

Who constantly follows by his side to serve.

Now although there was a slight mishap, the problem is not big.

His goal from the beginning was the Yin-Yang family under Donghuang Taiyi.

Su Ye never expected Donghuang Taiyi to help him from the start.

Anyway, his current ceiling strength already has Zhenyuanzi.

「Then let's reselect Xun Kuang! 」

「Ding! Congratulations host obtained Xun Kuang! 」

Strength: Cultivation peak.

Implanted identity as the elder ancestor of the Xun lineage of the Confucian school, who are mutually affectionate rivals with the elder ancestor of the Meng lineage of the Confucian school; therefore, he pays much attention to the host, an Imperial Star supported by the Meng lineage, and after examining the host, he is greatly pleased, arranging for Xun Yu, Xun You, and other outstanding talents of the Xun lineage of the Confucian school to come serve under the host.

Can!

Now Su Ye, because of his mother's relation, is within the Confucian school.

He has already gained the support of most of the Meng lineage among the three major lineages of the Confucian school.

If this time he also selects Xun Kuang.

Xun Kuang, a grandmaster-level figure of the Confucian school, holds significant prestige and status within the Confucian school.

Su Ye doesn't even need Xun Kuang to openly show support; he only needs Xun Kuang to appropriately reveal his favor toward him within the Confucian school.

Even merely indicating optimism toward him is enough.

He believes that with the support of the Meng lineage, plus Xun Kuang's optimism.

His potential stock will definitely become the first choice for most Confucian scholars entering the world.

In the future, many of the talented youths from Confucian backgrounds will likely be brought under his wing.

With such a prospect, how could Su Ye not be moved?

Of course, choosing Xun Kuang also comes with a cost.

Xun Kuang might also be like the previous Taishang Laojun, only able to serve as a mascot, unable to give Su Ye much substantive help.

But in Su Ye's view, such a cost is completely worth it.

Because, such an open and aboveboard opportunity to expand his status within the Confucian school is not easily obtained.

In comparison, Donghuang Taiyi might allow him to reap a large group of enforcers from the Yin-Yang family.

Even if Su Ye needs it, Donghuang Taiyi himself could also personally act a few times for Su Ye.

But in Su Ye's eyes, although the Yin-Yang family's power is strong, its numbers are relatively scarce.

Compared to the pitifully few internal energy martial artists of the Jianghu in the Yin-Yang family.

Without an endless stream of Confucian talents, obviously the latter is more important.

After all, in this world, talent is the most precious wealth.

And the Confucian school, as the cradle of cultivating talent, its importance goes without saying.

After all, the Confucian school encompasses most of the world's scholars.

Grasping the majority of the courts of all dynasties and kingdoms under heaven.

The Confucian school has, since ancient times, been the holy land in the hearts of scholars under heaven.

This school not only encompasses most of the intellectuals, but also occupies a position of great importance in the secular courts.

Regardless of whether other schools of thought accept it, the Confucian School has indeed taken a major lead over them in worldly affairs.

Only a few schools such as the School of Military can barely catch up by a few small steps.

But they cannot compare to the Confucian School at all.

And among the many schools, the Confucian School stands out not only because of its profound and extensive learning, but also due to its deep understanding of worldly society and unique insights.

Confucian scholars not only master the classics, history, philosophy, and literature, but also have unique insights into governing the state and securing peace.

Therefore, at the imperial court, the figures of scholars originating from the Confucian School always stand out prominently.

Compared to the Confucian School, other schools may each have their strengths, but they hardly match its influence in worldly affairs.

The School of Military, as a school focused on military strategy.

Although it repeatedly achieves remarkable feats on the battlefield, its influence is mostly confined to the army.

Compared to the Confucian School's all‑round flourishing at the imperial court, the School of Military's limitation is obviously much greater.

Moreover, the Confucian School's influence is not limited to the imperial court alone.

Within the Confucian School, there is still a small group of people who are fine as long as they are happy.

Everyone at the imperial court gets along well, happily discussing the affairs of the state together.

When they are unhappy, some Confucian individuals can personally roll up their sleeves and go to the battlefield.

Although these people are few in number, their presence greatly enhances the Confucian School's overall strength.

Such talent versed in both civil and military affairs is extremely rare among other schools.

What's more outrageous is that, after this small group of Confucian individuals goes onto the battlefield, they can still press and beat most cultivators of the School of Military.

They not only possess excellent martial skills, but also have unique insights into strategy and tactics.

This enables them on the battlefield to always strike unexpectedly, attack where unprepared, and leave the enemy caught off guard.

Such formidable combat power makes it basically impossible for people of other schools to even hope to match them.

Choose Han Xin from the Fourth Group!

Ding! Host successfully chose the Fourth Group era, specifically summoning War Immortal Han Xin.

Ding! Congratulations host on obtaining War Immortal Han Xin, Commander-in-Chief 102 (104), martial power 90, intelligence 95, politics 81.

Inserted identity as a great talent of the School of Military whom the host met during travels, now having studied and returned from the School of Military, currently staying as a guest in the host's Azure Spirit City.

Looking at the Three Heroes of the Early Han in the Fourth Group, Su Ye gritted his teeth.

There's no way; in this chaotic age, Han Xin this legendary general of all ages.

He is never too many, no matter what.
