Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

After the Zhao family sages passed on the Dharma, the light emanating from his body seemed about to be blown out by the wind.

The Zhao family sages, no longer able to pay attention to their descendants, breathed directly into the statue.

Zhuang Weiyang stood up, stretched her limbs, and walked towards the door.

Zhao Shoujing, standing behind him, remained frozen in place, dazed and confused.

Zhuang Weiyang sighed inwardly:

No wonder he comes from a prestigious family.

If an ordinary person possesses an artifact from a sage but only receives a basic spell, they will inevitably experience turmoil and vent their emotions.

Zhao Shoujing, however, simply sat quietly, processing this devastating news alone.

Having obtained the magic, Zhuang Weiyang ignored Zhao Shoujing and headed straight for the door.

But he didn't hear Zhao Shoujing muttering to himself behind him.

"It's over, it's over."

The minor official guarding the gate was keeping an eye on what was happening inside the Palace of the Former Sages.

Upon hearing footsteps, the minor official in charge of storing the treasures used magic to open the palace gates.

Zhuang Weiyang strode out, her face beaming.

In reality, he remained calm and unperturbed.

"Weiyang, did you successfully ignite your inner fire? What technique did you comprehend?"

Zhuang Weiyang smiled broadly, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said smugly:

"Haha, after two years of silence, we have finally reaped the rewards."

Fortunately, I was blessed by Sun Tzu, the military strategist of Wu, who granted me the art of "Wind"!

Upon hearing this, the minor official in charge of the archives, his face filled with envy, lost all the arrogance he had displayed that morning, returned the greeting, and congratulated him:

"Brother Weiyang has received the teachings of the Sage of War; he will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Weiyang, please don't forget our friendship as classmates, and please continue to help me in the future."

Zhuang Weiyang declined repeatedly, and after exchanging compliments, they left the Sage Palace.

Exposing himself to gain a "wind technique" was part of his plan.

If one only displays the art of "military prowess," it is too ordinary and will not win the favor of Prince Di.

Prince Di has been good enough to me, why should I hide this flaw and let him be talked about?

As for the other two techniques, they will be kept as trump cards.

After leaving the Sage Palace, Zhuang Weiyang went to Prince Di's residence.

He returned the token and told the prince that he had obtained it from the Sage's Palace.

Prince Di was overjoyed and patted Zhuang Weiyang's shoulder so hard it hurt.

"Haha, Brother Weiyang, congratulations, congratulations!"

Subsequently, Prince Di sent someone to deliver a military treatise to Zhuang Weiyang.

Zhuang Weiyang took a look and was immediately at a loss for what to do.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Aggression Like Fire

This military treatise was compiled by Sun Tzu's generals, who recorded his explanations of "fire techniques."

Those who practice the art of war, by studying extensively in one realm, have the opportunity to learn "fire techniques."

It is likely that Prince Di learned his fire magic from this.

Before Zhuang Weiyang could protest, Wang Zidi shoved the military treatise into her hands and ordered her to be escorted out.

"So hesitant and timid, not manly at all!"

"Go on, go on!"

Zhuang Weiyang was "driven out" of the young master's mansion, and she wore a bitter smile.

"This military treatise is a bit too hot to handle..."

"The more favors you owe, the more you accumulate."

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in her mind, Zhuang Weiyang's inner fire ignited, severing all distracting ideas.

Being hesitant and indecisive is not the behavior of a true man.

The Second Prince's residence is located in the center of Suzhou, only a few miles away from the Wu King's Palace.

Zhuang Weiyang walked out of the city and hurried back to the academy.

As we left the central area, the number of merchants gradually increased.

Restaurants, fabric markets, pawnshops...

And my favorite little pub.

"Aged wine! Aged wine! A fragrant and strong aged wine!"

"The most popular floral fabric among the officials of the State of Qi! Take a look!"

"The Taihu Lake Demon Fish is just one year away from becoming a great demon! Eating it is said to enhance male virility!"

"Boss, how many children can I have after eating this?"

"Eight!"

"..."

The surrounding area was bustling with people buying and selling, and the aroma of smoke mixed with the scent of wine created a wonderful scene.

Zhuang Weiyang paused and stared for a moment, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of mortals.

After days of hard work, I have finally embarked on the path of spiritual practice and resolved some potential problems in my practice.

In this atmosphere, Zhuang Weiyang finally relaxed.

The scene here feels like a game from a past life.

But this lively atmosphere is more like the night market of my previous life.

"I only hope that one day, when my supernatural powers are fully realized, I can go home and visit my family."

……

Inside the academy, Zhuang Weiyang activated the control panel and began to organize her findings.

Name: Zhuang Weiyang

[Realm: First Realm (Enlightened Mind)]

[Occupation: Easy]

【技能：风（1/10000）、火（1/10000）、山（1/10000）、势（1/10000）、心（易）不可提升】

【Supernatural Power: A Thousand Years of Dreams (1/2)】

[Achievement: Lao Tzu's Journey to the West]

"This supernatural power—Great Dream Through the Ages—has not yet been fully unleashed in terms of offensive capabilities, yet it has already gained another slot for entering dreams."

"Could it be that the number of slots increases with each breakthrough in cultivation level?"

The first spot in the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" competition inexplicably attracted a young man named Zhao Qin.

Although Zhao Qin was not a big shot and had no cultivation, he provided Zhuang Weiyang with the "Cangjie Book," enabling him to successfully switch to the "Yi" profession.

This greatly increases Zhuang Weiyang's future potential.

A pioneering school of thought, which has developed into a hundred schools of thought, is far more powerful than any "military" or "political" system.

As for the second spot, Zhuang Weiyang already had a plan in mind.

"The method I practice is different from that of others."

"No matter how I try to cultivate now, I'm completely lost."

The information provided on the panel is too broad.

Change the human race? What constitutes changing the human race?

If we tell a short story at the city gate to make everyone laugh, does that count as a change?

Therefore, Zhuang Weiyang decided to invite one of the "Hundred Schools of Thought" to her dream to ask for advice on how to cultivate herself.

Zhuang Weiyang silently activated the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Divine Power.

All supernatural powers are activated by the seed of supernatural power. Currently, Zhuang Weiyang has just entered the first realm, and the range of the heart fire is only around the heart.

The seed of the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" supernatural power is now located in Zhuang Weiyang's heart.

"O divine power, please summon one of the Hundred Schools of Thought to my dream."

"This person should have a good temper and enjoy teaching others."

"It would be best if they were also quite strong."

"By the way... it would be best if you also had a gentler temper."

"Finally... I can also teach Zhao Qin as a side project."

"..."

As Zhuang Weiyang kept making wishes, the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" supernatural seed continuously absorbed Zhuang Weiyang's inner fire.

Zhuang Weiyang's expression changed from a smile to a solemn one.

Oh no, I made too many wishes!

"Why does this supernatural power consume so much mental energy!"

Unlike other forms of energy, the heart fire is composed of a person's essence, energy, and spirit.

Zhuang Weiyang has just entered the first realm and is currently in the "Dimmed Light Realm," so her reserves of inner fire are not much.

The current energy expenditure is too high; although it won't completely drain a person, but...

After a while, "The Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" stopped operating, and a message was transmitted to Zhuang Weiyang through the Seed of Divine Power.

The supernatural power was successfully activated! The person appeared while I was sleeping that night!

At this moment, Zhuang Weiyang was trembling and her face was pale.

He struggled to his feet, grabbed the edge of the bed, and sat down against the wall.

Excessive consumption of heart fire means excessive consumption of vital energy and spirit.

To put it bluntly, it's just like kidney deficiency.

"Luckily, no one can see me looking like this."

"Otherwise, they'd think I was some kind of lecherous monster!"

Fortunately, excessive consumption of heart fire can be recovered on its own.

As long as I don't see anyone else today, then...

"Knock knock knock, Lord Zhuang! Lord Zhuang!"

Zhuang Weiyang's relieved expression immediately shattered.

"Who is it? I'm resting now. It's nothing urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

The people outside the door had no sense of atmosphere whatsoever.

His tone was sincere, but his words left no room for refusal.

"Lord Zhuang, I am a disciple of the Grand Tutor, Bo Pi."

"By order of Lord Bo Pi, I have come to present this visiting card."

Hey……

Zhuang Weiyang sighed inwardly, knowing that the person who came was Bo Pi's man, and that she knew she couldn't escape this time.

He struggled to get out of bed and staggered toward the door.

"Here it comes!"
