Chapter 826: The Choice of Great Qin

"Master!"

On a peak island along the East Sea coast, a half-grown child climbed laboriously to the summit.

At the top stood a thatched cottage, and in front of it, a wooden pavilion. At this moment, in the pavilion, a man wearing moon-white Taoist robes was holding a teacup, gazing at the moonlight.

"It is Zhen'er. It is so late, yet you have run all the way here to see your master."

The young man was none other than Su Fan.

"Master, this is a letter that Teacher asked me to deliver to you."

The half-grown child stepped forward obediently and pulled a jade talisman from his bosom.

"A letter from Xunzi."

Hearing this, Su Fan was somewhat surprised. The half-grown child before him was named Chi Zhen, a young boy Su Fan had saved on a whim when he first arrived at the East Sea.

Years ago, when the boy went out to sea with his parents, their ship encountered waves, and Su Fan saved him.

The East Sea was a vast ocean; even the near-shore areas were turbulent, not to mention that sometimes those waves were man-made.

For instance, the waves Chi Zhen's family encountered were man-made.

They were caused by a Shrimp General. Although Su Fan had wiped out that Shrimp General upon seeing this, he then brought the not-yet-six-year-old Chi Zhen back to land.

Fortunately, Chi Zhen still had an uncle at the Confucian Little Sage Virtuous Manor, so Su Fan told Chi Zhen to hand him over to that person.

In this way, he also made acquaintances with the Confucian Little Sage Virtuous Manor.

This world also had a Little Sage Virtuous Manor, which counted as a branch of Confucianism.

As for the Shrimp General he killed, it was just a minor Shrimp General.

The East Sea was indeed vast, but in this world, the Dragon Clan had no deterrent power; the Four Seas Dragon King were each very aggrieved.

Of course, compared to Su Fan, the East Sea Dragon Palace was certainly still a behemoth.

But do not forget, Su Fan was a member of the Human Race, and the Human Race was the protagonist of heaven and earth, so even if the East Sea Dragon Palace discovered it, they would not do anything to Su Fan over a mere Shrimp Soldier and Crab General.

During the Investiture of the Gods period, the Dragon Clan was quite arrogant, but they were taught a lesson by Nezha, and since then, the Dragon Clan had kept a much lower profile.

As for the behavior of those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals on the sea, the Dragon Clan could not possibly manage them, and if the Human Race killed them, they would not pay it any mind.

Therefore, Su Fan killing a few Shrimp Generals and continuing to stay here by the East Sea was not a problem at all, as long as he did not lay a hand on the dragon descendants.

And to tell the truth, given Su Fan's strength, he was truly no match for the slightly stronger dragon descendants.

Having arrived in this Journey to the West World for several years, his cultivation had improved quite rapidly, already reaching Yuanshen Jiuzhong.

His Fleshly Body had also reached the limit of the Star Level.

However, upon reaching this point, he had also encountered a slight bottleneck.

Yet this point did not stump him; he was not in a hurry to break through this bottleneck, but instead set aside his cultivation for the time being to slowly accumulate and solidify his foundation.

At the same time, the Confucian Little Sage Virtuous Manor began its daily routine of borrowing books.

The Hundred Schools of Thought in this world were not simple.

Those Sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought were all top-tier big shots; once they created their own Dao, heaven and earth would bestow Merit, and each would become a Human Dao Saint.

A Human Dao Saint, although not comparable to a Heavenly Dao Saint, was at least a big shot at the Quasi-Saint level in terms of strength.

From some books in the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, Su Fan learned that among these philosophers like Confucius, Mengzi, and so on—

There were several categories, the strongest naturally being Laozi and Confucius, who were both ranked as Quasi-Saints, and at the Quasi-Saint Peak at that.

The others, such as Mengzi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, and so on, were slightly inferior; some perhaps reached the Quasi-Saint level by virtue of Merit, while some did not even reach the Quasi-Saint level.

Of course, even the lowest among them were at least Great Luo Golden Immortals.

However, these people had all gone to the Fire Cloud Cave of the Human Sage to suppress the Human Race Luck.

They were together with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Xunzi, however, because his own Great Dao had not been fully sorted out, still remained in the human world; he could be said to be the last of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

With this, the prosperous age of the Hundred Schools of Thought for the Human Race also came to an end.

The Qi of Luck of the Human Race would also turn from strong to weak.

At this time, the Great Qin ruled the world, which could be described as like pouring oil on a raging fire.

After reading the letter sent from the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, Su Fan was even more certain.

"Alas! To think that the First Emperor would have such ambition; it is a pity that the future outcome is not so good."

Su Fan knew that in the Journey to the West World, the Human Race had completely turned into a mundane era, and the immortals were completely controlled by the Heavenly Court.

The dynasties were also merely mundane imperial dynasties.

Let alone resisting the Heavenly Court, even if the Heavenly Court sent down a single Heavenly God, the human dynasty would not be able to withstand it.

Of course, the Heavenly Court did not dare to take action against the human dynasty personally.

Although the human dynasty was only mundane and lacked supernatural power, that did not mean the Human Race had no power.

Even in the Heavenly Court, many of the immortals were of Human Race origin.

Furthermore, the Human Race still had the Fire Cloud Cave; although there were restrictions on entering and exiting, they would not easily appear unless it involved the extinction of the Human Race.

But if anyone dared to interfere with the progress of the human dynasty, the Fire Cloud Cave would not sit idly by.

It is a pity that the Great Qin wanting to overturn the Heavenly Court was truly equivalent to going against heaven; on this point, the Fire Cloud Cave could not step in to help.

After all, the current Great Qin was no longer pure.

Indeed, the news sent by the Little Sage Virtuous Manor indicated that the Witch Bloodline was secretly supporting the Great Qin from behind the scenes.

The Twelve Golden Men of the Great Qin were modeled after the Twelve Capital Divine Demon Array of the Witch Clan; if there were no support from the Witch Clan behind the scenes,

How could the Great Qin possibly possess such an Array? Furthermore, those top-tier generals like Bai Qi actually all possessed the Witch Bloodline.

Clearly, this was another move by the Witch Clan.

This was also why the combat power of Bai Qi and the others was so formidable.

Gouchen the Great, that is, Leizhenzi, was easily suppressed and killed by Bai Qi; all of this indicated that the Great Qin had the support of the Witch Clan.

In this way, those Human Sages of the Human Race would have no way to step in and help.

After all, the Wu Clan has always been viewed as a hostile party in the eyes of the Human Sages, especially since Human Sovereign Xuanyuan was still alive during the Great War of Zhuolu back then.

Now that the Great Qin is utilizing the power of the Wu Clan, the Human Sages can do nothing about the Heavenly Court's crusade against this situation.

Could they possibly go and support the Great Qin? If they did, where would they place the dignity of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

Furthermore, the ambition of that First Emperor of the Great Qin is far too great.

He does not merely wish to become a Human Emperor; he even wants to turn around and attack the Heavenly Court, which leaves the Fire Cloud Cave with no way to provide any support.

If the First Emperor only wished to restore the situation of the ancient Human Emperors, then the Fire Cloud Cave would have had the opportunity to step in and help the Great Qin fend off some external, powerful enemies.

But it is a pity that the First Emperor is just like that Chiyou from back then; his ambition is too great, and in the end, there is no way around it.

Regarding this point, as the facade of Confucianism, Xunzi understands many of the inside stories at the Little Sage Manor.

Su Fan learned more facts from here.

That is why he felt it was a pity in his heart.

As for the Great Qin utilizing the power of the Wu Clan, there is no problem with that in itself; if the Fire Cloud Cave does not come out, there is no other way, and a Human Race dynasty can only seek out other powers.
