Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1656: Changes in Confucianism
...............................................................................................................

At this point, Ke Haoran couldn't help but complain to Leng Hanfu: "I've been in the academy for such a long time, and finally got out. I wanted to go around and eat and have fun. But my senior brother insisted that I take on the duties of the academy's world traveler and the imperial envoy. It's really troublesome~"

Leng Hanfu was keenly aware of the difference. "Well, Celestial Envoy, is there any dispute among the three religions?"

"It's nothing more than a dispute over orthodoxy among factions within the Taoist sect. This way... this way and that way..."

Ke Haoran told Leng Hanfu about the dispute over the main lineage of Taoism between Shenglongkou and Guiyuan Taoist League, the decision of the three battles, and the outbreak of the evil spirit of the Nine Dragons, which led to the birth of the Sun-Swallowing Dragon Master.

Hearing that his former comrade Qing Yangzi was in trouble, Leng Hanfu couldn't help but worry: "After all, Taoist Master Qing Yang has made great efforts in fighting against the Eight-Headed Evil God and the disaster. I wonder if he can survive this disaster?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Haoran joked, "My junior apprentice brother, you are pointing at me."

"My nephew dare not. My uncle is both the academy's official and the imperial envoy. He should be impartial and unbiased. How can he sacrifice public interests for personal gain? It's a pity that the Sun-Swallowing Dragon Tamer has the power of three dragon souls and the wisdom of the dragon brain. I'm afraid he will be famous in the martial arts world."

Leng Hanfu said that he didn't dare, but he had already started to flatter his uncle.

Ke Haoran looked him up and down as if he was getting to know his nephew all over again and said, "No wonder Senior Brother accepted you as his disciple. You are just as evil as him."

Leng Hanfu smiled and said, "No, Uncle Master, you are praising me. I am far from being as good as Master."

Ke Haoran touched his chin, nodded and commented: "Well, now that you put it that way, it's even more like it."

"Ha~"

After the joke, Ke Haoran said seriously: "As for Qingyangzi, I will help him when it is appropriate without affecting fairness. As for why I came here to find you, it is for another important matter."

Leng Hanfu had already guessed, "Master, are you talking about the Haoran Sword?"

Ke Haoran didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "That's right. What do you think of when you hear the Haoran Sword and my name?"

Leng Hanfu had already guessed in his heart, "Could it be that Master Uncle is the creator of this sword technique?"

Ke Haoran said proudly: "Yes, this set of swordsmanship was created by me when I was eighteen years old."

After spending some time together, Leng Hanfu had already understood the character of his uncle-master, and he praised him generously, saying, "Uncle-master's talent is truly unparalleled in the world."

Ke Haoran was obviously pleased with Leng Hanfu's words, but he still said, "Ha~ just keep the flattery in your mind. I came here this time to test your progress in this sword technique."

Getting to the point, Leng Hanfu asked respectfully, "Uncle Master, what do you think of my training?"

Ke Haoran gave his own evaluation, "So-so."

"Ah."

Ke Haoran saw Leng Hanfu groaning, and asked with a smile: "Why? Are you dissatisfied with this evaluation?"

Leng Hanfu was not dissatisfied and said, "Master uncle's talent is indeed amazing. I have been comprehending this sword technique so far, but I have only just begun to understand its essence.

Ke Haoran explained to Leng Hanfu how he created the "Haoran Sword" in the first place, "The Haoran Sword was created by me to hone my swordsmanship. After that, I spent another three years in seclusion in Siguo Cliff before I completed the practice of this swordsmanship.

Leng Hanfu nodded. He had certainly heard of this secret.

However, there was a discrepancy between what my uncle-master said and what he said.

The version he heard was that after his uncle created the "Haoran Sword" that day, he thought he was invincible.

After the master gave him a good lesson, he locked him up in the Cliff of Repentance. "……………………That's why I realized the truth of 'opening the way with the sword, and one method can lead to all methods'. Now, you should understand what I meant when I said that you practiced the Haoran Sword carelessly, right?"

The words were so clear, how could Leng Hanfu not understand, "Master uncle's praise, I will not be polite to you."

Ke Haoran looked like a teachable boy and said, "In the academy, besides you, only Jun Mo has mastered my swordsmanship and integrated it into what he has learned. You have to go through this process as well. Do you have any questions?"

Leng Hanfu asked the question in his mind, "Then how can I reach your level?"

"You can't be me. Because..."

Ke Haoran spoke with a confidence that looked down upon the world, "…There is only one Ke Haoran in this world, and only one Leng Hanfu."

"I see."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Because of the Sun-Swallowing Dragon Master who was transformed from the resentment of the Nine Dragons, the dispute over the orthodoxy of Taoism was temporarily put to rest.

While Qingyangzi was making plans against the Dragon Tamer, changes occurred within the Confucian school.

First, the supreme leader of Defeng Ancient Dao, "Huangru Wushang", announced a retreat.

The reason is that when Jun Fengtian's ghost returned, Huang Ru took out the "Guiyuan Lingzhu" from his body in order to revive him.

Once this bead is taken out, it will seriously affect the performance of one's skills, causing incompleteness of one's skills.

Another part of it was because his soul, which he had lost long ago, had returned.

These issues urgently require the imperial scholars to retreat and resolve them.

After the Imperial Confucian went into seclusion, the leadership of Defeng Ancient Dao should have fallen into the hands of the head, Yu Lijing.

But unexpectedly, the person who came forward to preside over the Defeng Ancient Road was actually the head of the southern branch "Wenfeng Valley" who had never appeared before, "Xia Chenglin".

This person had been practicing martial arts passed down by his ancestors in seclusion.

Therefore, when Defeng Ancient Dao called on all Confucian sects to deal with the Eight-Headed Evil God, it only sent Mo Pingxiao to lead his men.

Now, he is appointed as the head of Defeng Ancient Road, which puzzles many people.

Regarding this point, we have to talk about the beginning of the establishment of Defeng Ancient Road.

At that time, the two ancestors Zhi Tianming and Fang Yuheng established the Five Paths of Haozheng, and invited Huangru Wushang, the first person in Confucianism who pacified the troubled times and respected the emperor, to serve as the gatekeeper of the last of the five paths.

In the past, when the world was in chaos and demons were raging, Huang Ru Wushang stepped forward directly. He once resisted the powerful foreign enemies alone and killed the demons and monsters from the six realms, bringing peace to the chaotic world and honoring the emperor.

The people who were saved at that time respectfully called him the Confucian Emperor, which is the origin of the supreme Confucian emperor.

With the concerted efforts of the three, they united the Confucian scholars from hundreds of schools and laid a solid foundation, evolving the Five Paths of Haozheng into today's Defeng Ancient Path, establishing a system for the Confucian saints and the lineage of virtue.

To this day, although Confucianism has gone through many disasters, its ancient spirit still survives.

As mentioned before, Defeng Ancient Road serves as the central headquarters, and it also has four major branches in the east, west, south and north.
