Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 357: There Was an Immortal Before the Supreme
“Taboo” cannot destroy the world?
The goddess's faint voice came from the clouds, which made the witch king puzzled. If the "taboo" could not destroy the world, the sects in the world would not be so panicked...

"May I ask what the goddess means?"

The kingly way of the witch clan.

"When 'taboo' was rampant, the world could not be destroyed. Now it is just a small 'taboo', how can it destroy the world?" The hidden goddess said lightly, her voice flowing in the clouds and mist, making it impossible to tell where it came from.

"That's because the saints appeared out of nowhere."

The king of the witch clan frowned and said.

At this time, the goddess disappeared completely and said nothing more, which made the king of the witch clan very confused.

"Could it be that the goddess meant that a saint has descended to the world?"

As the witch king descended the mountain, he pondered over the goddess' words and felt that it was somewhat possible. But if a saint were to come, wouldn't the witch clan have no hope at all?
"Ugh--"

The king of the witch clan frowned, looked up at the sky and sighed.

After a moment, he turned around and bowed respectfully, looking at the top of Wushan Mountain and said, "May I ask the goddess, where should my Wu clan go?"

"Just keep your troops in place, but don't forget to train them."

The goddess' voice floated down from the sky.

"I will follow the goddess' orders."

The King of Wushan bowed.

……

The news that the "forbidden" was about to be born cast a shadow over the whole world, and the leaders of Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism also returned from the East China Sea.

At this time, the Holy Path had to stop fighting with the Immortal Path and jointly deal with the "taboo" that was about to come out, and also had to unite the forces of other sects, such as the witch clan, the demon clan, the god clan, etc.

In the holy temple of Confucianism.

A middle-aged man with a dignified face sat in the main seat of the temple, but his brows were tightly furrowed as he quietly looked at the sky outside the door.

"Master, is there a path to immortality in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

The great benevolent master asked after a moment's hesitation.

At this time, the eyes of several people in the Confucian Temple fell on the middle-aged man.

"Yes, but it's broken."

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and said, "In front of the Three Immortal Mountains, there is a rolling sea of ​​blood blocking the road. No one in the world can cross it and cannot become an immortal."

"Sea of ​​blood?"

Everyone in the hall was a little surprised.

"This sea of ​​blood is quite mysterious and its origin is unknown. It seems to have buried many ancient secrets." The middle-aged man in the temple said lightly.

"It is rumored that the Three Immortal Mountains were opened up by the Supreme Being. Is that true?"

The Great Benevolent Lord asked.

“The Blood Sea can be traced back to ancient times, and the Three Immortal Mountains are even before the Blood Sea. How could it be opened up by the Supreme?” The middle-aged man shook his head.

But when he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"This is impossible!"

The Righteous Lord blurted out, and seeing everyone's eyes on him, he said, "The word 'immortal' first came from the mouth of the Supreme Lord, and the way of immortality was only created now. How could the Three Immortal Mountains be earlier than the Supreme Lord? If the Three Immortal Mountains were earlier than the Supreme Lord, doesn't it mean that there were immortals before the Supreme Lord? But immortals were not created by the Supreme Lord?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded.

“Although the word ‘immortal’ came from the mouth of the Supreme Being, ‘immortal’ is not the same as being created by the Supreme Being.” The middle-aged man in the temple said lightly.

"this?"

At this time, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"What the leader said means that there were immortals before the Supreme Being? This shouldn't be the case, and it's impossible?" A great sage in the hall said in surprise.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." The middle-aged man waved his hand. He was just as confused as everyone else about the Blood Sea and the Three Immortal Mountains. Who could have thought that there were immortals before the Supreme?

However, what needs to be resolved urgently is the "taboo".

"What do you think of the canonization of saints?"

The middle-aged man asked.

"Master An said that if anyone in the world could become a saint, he alone could become one. Master Donglou said that he had exhausted all his luck, and even if he had the title of philosopher, it would be difficult for him to become a saint..."

At this time, the Great Benevolent Lord pondered for a moment and said.

"It's also a great spirit."

The middle-aged man smiled and said that he was very optimistic about An Xiu, otherwise he would not have gone against the crowd and let An Xiu, who was only at the Wen Xiang realm, be the dean of Zangshan Academy. As for Dong Louhui's promotion to the Great Sage, it was a surprise...

No one in Confucianism could have thought of it either.

"Then everyone, who should get this position of philosopher?"

The middle-aged man looked at everyone in the hall and asked.

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and their eyes all fell on the Lord of Righteousness.

Although the leader is the most suitable, his identity does not allow it, unless the leader was originally a disciple of the Lord of the Sagely Position.

Or, the canonized person has become a true saint.

Apart from the leader, there are naturally the Three Dukes of Confucianism. As for other great sages, no matter in terms of qualifications or talents, they are inferior to the Three Dukes.

But the three dukes also have their own pride.

So the Great Benevolent Lord, the Great Righteous Lord and the Great Etiquette Lord discussed it and decided that the Great Righteous Lord would take the throne of the sage. Because the Great Righteous Lord was injured by the "weirdness", he could no longer move forward.

But when there is a philosopher, it is completely different.

Although you cannot become a saint, you can obtain the status of a semi-saint...

At present, the path to sainthood has not yet been fully opened. Even if the leader obtains the position of philosopher, he cannot become a saint. At most, he can only be a half-saint.

Moreover, Da Li Yi, Da Li Zhu, and even the leader of the sect are waiting for the holy road to be opened.

They have such strong faith that they can be canonized on their own.

……

On the way to Confucianism.

Feng Qingyan then received a letter from his teacher and learned that the throne was taken by the Lord of Righteousness.

He had no objection to the great righteous leader, and seeing that his teacher and his teacher's teacher did not want the position of philosopher, he handed it over to Confucianism, which should be fully managed by Confucianism...

"In a few days, we can enter Lu."

Feng Qingyan lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside. He was still looking forward to the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain. However, the fact that the "Taboo" was about to be released also made him a little worried. How should he collect the "Taboo"?
Can the Ghost Gate really restrain the "taboo"?
If it is not a taboo, what is it?
Along the way, Feng Qingyan was thinking and paying attention to the situation in the world.

In the past few days, Taishang Lantai and Confucian Sanfenshan have been trying their best to deduce the time and place of the "taboo"'s appearance. However, both Taishang Lantai and Confucian Sanfenshan can only speculate the near future and cannot deduce the time and place.

All religions in the world are still worried and anxious.

In the past few days, whether it is the Saint Path, the Immortal Path, the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, etc., they have all combined their strongest forces, preparing to suppress it again before the taboo is revealed...

But it's unlikely.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Feng Qingyan's carriage finally entered Lu State and slowly drove towards the Confucian Twenty-Seven Books Mountain. His identity was still not revealed, he just went to the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain to study as an ordinary scholar.

The only people who know about it are the leader, the three ministers, the teacher and others.

“What a strong literary atmosphere.”

Soon after the carriage entered Lu State, Feng Qingyan felt a strong literary atmosphere. And in the distant sky, he even "saw" a series of majestic air columns rising into the sky, one of which was extremely huge.
