Chapter 843: The Identity of Kong Sheng

"But since it's related to the human race, then where should I start?"

Su Fan began to think.

He knew that to obtain merit, one must be beneficial to the great trend of the human race. The appearance of the Hundred Schools of Thought was actually conforming to the great trend of the Heavenly Dao.

That was why the merit of those Hundred Schools was so much. Among the Three Teachings and Nine Schools, the big shots of Daoism and Confucianism were already at the Quasi-Sage level.

Of course, they had this cultivation not only because of merit, but also because of themselves.

That Laozi, needless to say, was the incarnation of the Taiqing Saint, reincarnated into the mortal world to experience tribulations. His own strength didn't need to be mentioned, so becoming a Quasi-Sage was the most natural thing.

And the identity of Confucius was relatively mysterious. He did not go to the Fire Cloud Cave, clearly not just a simple human.

And Zhang Liang, as a Confucian, did not even know the identity of their Kong Sheng, which was intriguing.

The luck of Confucianism now was actually not very strong.

After all, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, although Confucianism was a prominent school, it was not valued like Mohism, and it might not even be better than Mohism.

At least if Mohism didn't have those thoughts, their hands-on ability was still welcomed by the high-level officials of the empire.

Especially the Great Qin before, military technology could not be separated from Mohism. The Great Qin's strong crossbows, the best in the world, were all developed by Mohism and the Gongshu family.

Therefore, for Mohist talent, in fact, the Six Kingdoms before were even more welcoming.

Only Confucianism was the most awkward. It was a prominent school and could be considered the largest among the Three Teachings, yet it had never been valued by the high-level officials of various countries.

Without the importance of the human dynasty, one could imagine that the luck of Confucianism was not very high.

Confucius, this Confucian Sage, wanted to enjoy the luck of Confucianism, which was clearly not as high as Laozi, this Daoist ancestor.

After all, as one of the Three Teachings, Daoism could be said to have always been the most powerful during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Perhaps the disciples of Daoism were not many, but they had always been sought after by high-level officials and nobles of various countries, and some countries even tried to govern the country with some of the concepts of Daoism.

The luck of Daoism could be said to be the most profound among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Laozi attained the Dao, and purple qi stretched for thirty thousand miles. This was not just because of the identity of his main body, but also because of his profound luck.

But Confucius could also become a Quasi-Sage, so his identity was not simple. After all, the luck of Mohism and Confucianism at that time was about the same.

And the merit and luck of Mozi could not become a Sage.

So the identity of that Confucius's main body was definitely not simple.

It was a pity that as orthodox Confucian disciples, they didn't know.

Su Fan once guessed that Confucius was the Five-Colored Peacock, that is, Kong Xuan reincarnated, but this didn't make sense.

Today's Kong Xuan had long since become the Buddhist Sect. If he reincarnated, the greatest possibility was to reincarnate into the Buddhist Sect and promote the Buddhist Sect. Reincarnating as a Confucian Sage, how was that possible?

Wanting to become a Confucian Sage, one also needed a powerful Confucian Dao, unless he, Kong Xuan, completely abandoned his main body.

Laozi's Dao was still his Taishang Wu Wei Dao, and reincarnating as a Daoist Sage was still the same.

And if Kong Xuan cultivated the Confucian Dao, unless he completely abandoned his main body entirely.

But was this possible?

During the Investiture of the Gods period, he was already a Quasi-Sage, and a rare super combat power among Quasi-Sages. He had fought against Sages, although he was easily handled by the Sages.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

His main body was so powerful, could he abandon it?

Su Fan did not feel so, and not abandoning the previous life, it was still possible to cut off the three corpses and reincarnate with one of the three corpse incarnations.

But this also didn't make sense. After all, during the Investiture of the Gods period, Kong Xuan did not become a Quasi-Sage by cutting off the three corpses.

Instead, he broke through to the Quasi-Sage realm with ancient methods.

Cutting off the three corpses was the Dao of the Dao Ancestor's attainment of the Dao. Later, great supernatural beings also began to switch to it.

However, in the first two epochs of the opening of the sky, the Primordial Super-Ancient period, those true great supernatural beings, some strong people who were on par with the Dao Ancestor, did not walk the Dao of cutting off the three corpses.

For example, the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, these three ancient behemoths, were the most powerful three clans before the ten thousand races. When they dominated the Primordial World, the Dao Ancestor had not yet attained the Dao.

At that time, those top-level strong people were not Great Luo, and there were also Quasi-Sages, just called Primordial Golden Immortals at that time.

They also did not walk the Dao of cutting off the three corpses. At that time, they had their own ancient methods to break through to the Great Luo realm.

And Kong Xuan, as the son of the Phoenix, naturally did not walk the Dao of cutting off the three corpses.

So he had no three corpse incarnations and could not possibly reincarnate into the human race like the Taiqing Saint, becoming the Daoist ancestor of the human race.

If Kong Xuan wanted to incarnate as Confucius, he must reincarnate with his main body, and having switched to the Confucian Dao, it was inevitably different from his own main body's Five Elements Great Dao.

Perhaps some people could cultivate several Great Daos, but there would definitely be primary and secondary ones.

Confucius was already a Confucian Sage, a Quasi-Sage cultivation, but in the end, compared to the Five Elements Great Dao, in Su Fan's view, the latter was more suitable for Kong Xuan.

Su Fan also did not feel that for the sake of that little luck of Confucianism, Kong Xuan would abandon his Five Elements Great Dao.

After all, before the Investiture of the Gods, he had already cultivated to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm with the Five Elements Great Dao, and in the future, he would have the opportunity to become a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even compared to those like Zhenyuanzi, he had more opportunities to break through to Primordial Great Luo.

It was just a pity that during the Investiture of the Gods period, he was captured by the Sage and became the Peacock Daming King of the Buddhist Sect.

Wanting to break through became even more difficult.

But even if it was difficult, it was not without opportunity.

And the Confucian Sage was also just a Sage of the human race, and not yet a Sage of the human Dao. Compared to the Heavenly Dao Sage, it was too far behind.

The Confucian Sage was just an ordinary Quasi-Sage, not even as good as his main body. Su Fan did not feel that with Kong Xuan's arrogance, he would choose the human race.

Although he became the guardian divine beast of the Yin-Shang as the national bird back then, as the son of the Phoenix, his foundation was not a bit worse than those innate divines like Zhenyuanzi.

So Su Fan felt that the possibility of Kong Xuan being Confucius was not large.

As for the future, Dong Zhong Shu and Emperor Wu of Han engaged in "abolishing the hundred schools and respecting only Confucianism." Not to mention whether this situation could be achieved.

Even if it was achieved, what if the luck of Confucianism reached its peak? Just this alone could not possibly let the Confucian Sage become a true Sage.

Don't you see, the Primordial World had Sages from the Heavenly Dao, whether it was the Earth Dao or the Human Dao. The Earth Dao was fine; that Lady Houtu was indeed a Sage.

And the Human Dao had not yet produced a Sage. The Sage of the human race did not mean it was the Human Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was really too powerful, powerful enough to suppress the two Daos.

Making the two Daos have no opportunity to produce Sages comparable to it.

The Sage of the human race was also just a Quasi-Sage in strength, so no matter how strong Confucianism was, it was nothing more than a Quasi-Sage.

And it was the kind that relied on luck to become a Sage. Once the human race had any changes, it would likely affect its cultivation.

Such a human Sage, ordinary people might be very willing, but Kong Xuan might not see it that way. ===== CHAPTER 844 =====
