Honghuang: The chat group is full of big shots

Chapter 284 Confucius and Mozi

"road"……

Never before has there been such a simple, direct, yet domineering name, but today we have one.

But at that moment, no one objected; they only felt it was incredibly fitting.

hum!
The moment this name appeared, the entire origin of the Heavenly Dao responded.

A golden light of merit, comparable in scale to the primordial chaos light after the Investiture of the Gods, seemed to envelop the entire prehistoric world.

This is a gift from the very origin of Heaven to all living beings in the primordial world.

The Tao is the convergence of everyone's wisdom, and its merits naturally belong to everyone.

Of course, those who can gain the most merit are definitely the more powerful Great Luo Immortals, Quasi-Saints, Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals, and Saints.

However, those below the Great Luo level also have low cultivation, and this merit is enough to allow them to advance further.

It could even be said that, with the addition of the Dao, the overall strength of the entire prehistoric world was raised to a whole new level.

"Thank you all for coming to this sermon." At this moment, Fang Xun, who was playing the role of the Supreme Li Er, came out.

"I have some insights that require me to go into seclusion."

Fang Xun directly expressed his intention to end this discussion.

Yes, he did have some insights, but the others also had quite a few and were rushing to go into seclusion.

"Thank you for your lecture, fellow Daoist! We shall take our leave!" The countless immortals present all stood up, bowed, and left in a hurry.

Many of them were even more eager than Fang Xun.

The profoundness of that technique is unimaginable. If one were to study it in seclusion, it would surely greatly increase one's cultivation level. Everyone is eager to learn.

Various divine lights shone, and the area below the pulpit almost instantly became empty.

On the pulpit, Fang Xun, Wu Shi, Hong Yi, and the others exchanged glances and nodded slightly before departing.

"This time it was very successful." Fang Xun returned to the storage room and sighed contentedly.

“This ‘Tao’ is very powerful.” Meng Qi suddenly appeared in front of Fang Xun.

“I vaguely saw Wuji in it.” Meng Qi’s expression was very serious.

"Wuji?" Fang Xun's brow twitched; his perception hadn't reached that level yet.

"Yes, while it may not be said to directly point to the limitless, it truly possesses the aura of the limitless, like the limitless aura in those chaotic demon god worlds, but it is purer and free of personal color," Meng Qi replied.

"Isn't that even better?" Fang Xun was also delighted.

“Heh…” Meng Qi glanced at Fang Xun, “I’m here to remind you of the influence this technique has on the Chaos Demon God.”

"This is more advantageous to those Chaos Gods than to us."

"It's alright. As long as they don't directly revert to the Limitless Realm, what are we in the chat group afraid of?!"

Fang Xun was full of confidence. Everyone in the group was a person of exceptional talent and unparalleled in the world. With definite guidance, they might not be slower than those Chaos Gods who were rebuilding their cultivation.

"It's good that you know." Meng Qizhen had only come to offer a reminder before leaving to go into seclusion as well.

This was probably the most peaceful period in the primordial world. Apart from the occasional terrifying thunderous sounds coming from the horizon, there were no immortals to be seen anywhere else.

Even the Heavenly Court seemed to have stopped functioning.

The sound of thunder and lightning is caused by people constantly breaking through their current cultivation level.

In fact, these past ten thousand years have been the most concentrated period of the birth of Great Luo Immortals, apart from the lectures at Zixiao Palace. Many immortals who were stuck at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal crossed that threshold with the help of the Dao, and the Great Dao was sublimated, becoming unique in time and space.

This period lasted for at least ten thousand years, after which the stagnant Heavenly Court began to function again, and most people emerged from their seclusion.

"Why must you portray the Human Emperor as a god? This is utterly absurd!"

On this day, a soft shout broke the tranquility of the human academy.

Today is the day Confucius lectured.

This one of the most outstanding geniuses of the human race broke through his previous realm at an unimaginable speed after that Dao discussion, and has now even reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Confucius was actually born after the Investiture of the Gods, and his real age is insignificant compared to his level of attainment!
Having reached this level, Confucius has now transcended his status as a student in the human academy and become a lecturer, truly beginning to impart knowledge to others.

Because of his long-standing great reputation among humans, this lecture attracted many people.

However, Mozi, who was dissatisfied with the doctrines preached by Confucius, also arrived.

"What guidance do you have for me, fellow Daoist?" Confucius looked at Mozi, bowed, and invited him to the lecture hall.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Mozi also straightened his expression and bowed slightly to Confucius.

The two sat facing each other, and this was a discussion of the Way.

“I have heard you say that the Human Emperor’s golden body is flawless and immaculate. However, this might seem to be turning the Human Emperor into a golden statue,” Mozi said after thinking for a moment.

"This method can increase respect for the emperor and fear of abdication. What's wrong with that?" Confucius countered.

"Reverence for the Human Emperor?" Mozi shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, have you not witnessed the chaos caused by the Cicada of Despair?!"

The stronger the reverence for the Human Emperor, the more it will extend to other things related to the Human Emperor. For example, the previous poor cicada was originally the son of the Human Emperor!
This identity led him to have inappropriate thoughts.

"Although the abdication system is not perfect now, such a thing can never happen again." Confucius shook his head decisively. "Enhancing the emperor's prestige will also help maintain the implementation of the abdication system and prevent such things from happening again."

“If we want to uphold the system of abdication, we should make the emperor a human being, not an emperor!” Mozi retorted.

"The greatest protection is to instill in every human being the spirit of becoming the Human Emperor, not to merely revere him!"

"How can the emperor's decrees be implemented in all regions and cities? There must be those who rebel against their superiors!" Confucius raised his objection again.

This is not uncommon. Taiyi ascended to the throne as the Human Emperor, and his cultivation was naturally powerful. However, there were also some stubborn individuals among the human race who outwardly complied with his imperial decrees but inwardly defied them.

"The Emperor's decree was issued in the countryside, so why can't the Emperor go to the countryside?!"

"The emperor rejoices with his people, and everyone respects the virtuous and follows them. They obey without being commanded!" Mozi's words were resounding.

However, this did not convince Confucius, and the two debated more and more deeply, and their discussions gradually spread throughout the human academy.

Many people who were originally unaware of the matter became interested and joined in, and eventually it was no longer just Confucius and Mozi debating.

The students of the human academy began to take sides with the two men, and a massive debate and verbal battle ensued.

Well... both Confucianism and Mohism are among the most organized and inflammatory groups in the Hundred Schools of Thought.

"Confucianists and Mohists?" Fang Xun was also watching the show from the sidelines.

In his view, this debate is actually not very meaningful unless both Confucius and Mozi have reached a certain level of spiritual cultivation.

In the end, this primordial world is all about might. Confucius and Mozi were both born after the Investiture of the Gods. Although they had read about the battles of the previous eons in ancient texts, they had never experienced them firsthand and therefore lacked a real sense of reality.

"Humans seem to be protected too well..." Fang Xun muttered.

However, there is currently no race that can rival the human race.

“I feel that they both have the potential to become the Human Emperor.” Hong Yi suddenly appeared in front of Fang Xun.

"They are extremely talented, have a strong will, and most importantly... as far as I know, they are all very good fighters!"

"Very good at fighting?" Fang Xun raised an eyebrow slightly. He wasn't always keeping an eye on the human academy.

"If we really let them compete for the title of Human Emperor after the Three Thousand Yuan Meeting, that scene would be quite interesting!" Hong Yi's eyes lit up.

Fang Xun was speechless. He rarely saw Hong Yi behave like this. It seemed that the various schools of thought had excited Hong Yi.

He wanted to say something, but he quickly stopped and looked at the two groups of students arguing.

At some point, the argument between the two groups gradually escalated, and for this group of human students whose average cultivation level was above Golden Immortal, things could easily slip in a certain direction.

"Where the hell did this habit come from?" Fang Xun's face darkened.

"It must be because you incorporated the Heaven-Covering Technique into the Dao. It's an ominous sign!" Hong Yi teased.

The atmosphere among the group of students gradually heated up, and some even had red eyes, wishing they could fight each other on the spot.

This phenomenon was also noticed by Confucius and Mozi during their debate.

The two quickly intervened, preventing the first bloody brawl at the human academy.

However, both Confucius and Mozi noticed the clash between emotions and thoughts in the arena.

This has already planted the seed of "discussion on the Tao" in everyone's hearts, and it was bound to happen sooner or later.

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist." Mozi bowed slightly to Confucius, directly challenging him to a duel!
The matter began with them, and it should end with them.

"That's the only way," Confucius sighed slightly, returning the greeting.

The attitudes of the two were crystal clear, and the atmosphere in the room immediately exploded, but fortunately, the center of the conflict had shifted to Confucius and Mozi.

"Please!" Mozi gave Confucius a deep look, then leaped up and landed on the platform for discussing the Dao.

This is a place provided by the Human Academy for students to "discuss the Dao".

"Please!" Confucius took a deep breath and stood opposite Mozi.

"Confucius is going to lose! Who in the school doesn't know that Mozi was a master strategist?" a student shouted loudly.

"Ha!" Zilu, one of the students brought by Confucius, sneered.

Why do you think he became Confucius's student?!
Amidst the shouts of many students, Mozi and Confucius made their move simultaneously!

Both of them relied on their physical strength to suddenly unleash a punch!
Bang!
An invisible wave spread out from the center of the two fists that collided, and the surrounding void collapsed with a bang, unable to withstand it, and turned into nothingness!

A terrifying sound exploded in the ears of all the human students, like thunder from the heavens, making them tremble with fear.

At that moment, a top-level protective shield rose directly from the debate platform, trapping all fighting noises on the platform.

Many people looked at the wheel track platform with expressions of having encountered their inner demons.

Bang bang bang!
The dull sounds of fists and palms clashing rang out continuously. On the Wheel Platform, Confucius and Mozi were exchanging blows at a speed that even Golden Immortals could not keep up with. Each heavy punch could kill a Golden Immortal on the spot!
It's not surprising that Mozi possessed such divine power, given his renowned fighting prowess; however, Confucius's appearance truly terrified everyone.

In his combat-ready state, Confucius no longer possessed his usual refined and amiable demeanor; his loose robes were slightly altered, becoming more fitted and suitable for battle.

And it was because of this that everyone saw the bulging muscles on Confucius's body, the veins that bulged out even though his long robe couldn't hide them.

"This body is unmatched by any other witch in the same realm!" Many people felt a chill.

This was Confucius's first "discussion on the Way" after joining the Human Academy, which was quite unexpected.

"Such powerful strength!" Mozi was also shocked, overwhelmed by the violent aura emanating from Confucius.

"Excuse me." Confucius nodded apologetically to Mozi, but his fist was still pounding.

"Impressive!" Mo Di nodded slightly, then drew a spirit sword from the void.

The spirit sword was entirely black and unremarkable, except for one strange feature: its tip was flat.

Mo-brows without a sharp edge! This is an acquired spiritual treasure that Mo Di himself refined!

"Please!" Confucius gently pushed up the jade crown on his head, and a clear light appeared around him, blocking the suppression of the dark eyebrows.

Straighten your clothes! This is also a acquired spiritual treasure.

Both possessed acquired spiritual treasures, but in reality, both individuals were true masters of great fortune. Both acquired spiritual treasures were infused with a massive amount of chaotic pure light, making them no less valuable than innate spiritual treasures.

"Please!" The two unleashed their magical treasures and engaged in battle once again.

Ding!
Mo Mei slashed at Kong Qiu's fist, but couldn't cut through his flesh and blood!
Mozi's eyes twitched, finding it hard to imagine how far Confucius's physical cultivation had progressed.

"Not bad." Fang Xun had been paying close attention to this battle and was quite impressed. He even felt the same way about Confucius's physical body as he had when he was practicing the Panwang Profound Technique before becoming a Great Luo Immortal!
"Just watch, this is just the most inconspicuous one." Hong Yi smiled slightly.

"Time flows on like this, never ceasing day or night." Confucius suddenly withdrew his fist, took a step, and stepped into the long river of time.

He threw another punch, directly attacking Mozi on the Time Realm!

This kind of time-manipulation ability has already subtly exceeded the limitations of the Taiyi realm!

Mozi also entered the river of time, but he did not possess such time-manipulation abilities. Trapped within time, he was unable to withstand the incoming fists.

Bang!
Mozi's head suddenly exploded!

It has no flesh and blood, only various intricate mechanical structures; this is a clone!

"Fellow Daoist's strength is truly beyond expectation." Another Mo Di walked over and casually put away the damaged mechanical clone.

"Are you the real body or an avatar, fellow Daoist?" Confucius suddenly frowned.

"Again!" Mozi didn't answer, but instead swung his sword!

This sword strike seemed to transcend time itself!
Respect for the virtuous!

This is Mozi's supernatural power, which originally meant that when one sees someone more outstanding than oneself, one will unconsciously approach them and learn from them.

But now Mozi is using it to forcibly borrow power from Confucius!

"The Primordial Era, the Spring and Autumn Period!" Confucius remained calm in the face of a sword strike that transcended time, and instead murmured softly.

In an instant, the river of time stirred slightly, and countless Taoist figures emerged from history to assist Confucius. The shadows of history blocked all the sword shadows!

The Spring and Autumn Period has historical connotations, and now Confucius uses it to summon historical projections to aid him in this battle!
"Hmph!" Mozi snorted, and suddenly it seemed as if a cosmic gate opened behind him.

Roar!
Boo!
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!
The Four Divine Beasts have arrived!
