Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 240 The Birth of the I Ching! Reactions from All Sides!

Lujiang, Qufu City, Confucian Temple.

Five men of varying ages were sitting at a small table, on which were set out exquisite tea sets and food.

The local custom is to eat only the finest food and prepare dishes with the most delicate preparation.

The elderly, middle-aged, young people, teenagers, and children—everyone's hair, headdress, and robes were meticulously arranged.

Even the way they pick up food with their hands and the extent of their chewing are all done in a very precise and methodical way.

Suddenly, the old man stopped, stood up abruptly, turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes filled with shock.

Seeing this, the others, unaware of what had happened, curiously projected their own light towards the source.

However, in the next moment, the group of people all felt an extremely powerful fluctuation.

"Is this the birth of a supreme treasure of Confucianism and Taoism?!" The middle-aged man frowned.

Grand scale!

The "Spirit Level" signifies abundant spiritual energy.

The Yuan level is when spiritual energy is condensed into a single point, similar to condensing the heart of martial arts.

The next level is the Power Level. Just as beings in the Third Realm have developed divine consciousness, Power Level artifacts often possess a certain power that influences the spiritual realm.

As for the Sheng-level?

What is "盛" (shèng)? It is composed of "成" (chéng) on ​​top and "皿" (mǐn) on the bottom.

It symbolizes something capable of bearing great achievements!

That represents a treasure that can ensure the long-term prosperity of a power! A vessel capable of bearing the legacy of a great power!

Those forces that possess Grand-level treasures are generally large forces, and they can maintain their prosperity by leveraging the effects of various Grand-level treasures. It can be said that Grand-level treasures are things that can affect the nerves of all large forces and are part of their foundation.

At this moment, the intensity of the literary energy fluctuations sensed by these five beings was unprecedented.

It's just like the birth of a supreme innate treasure.

"Or perhaps—" The child moved his lips but did not say it.

The elderly man then spoke up, saying, "Or perhaps, it's not a supreme treasure, but rather that someone has written a classic."

classic!

Whether it's a "scripture" or a "canon," both are extremely powerful techniques.

For Confucianism and Taoism, even something as simple as Yu Xiucai's "Notes on the Terraced Fields of Jianshan" is extremely valuable.

After all, it was the insight and experience of a grassroots Confucian and Taoist cultivator deeply rooted in the village, and even if it was just a spiritual-level cultivation technique, it was still very important.

And now, a supreme-level cultivation technique has actually appeared?

"I think it's in the southwest direction." The old man looked at the young man: "You cultivate the path of righteousness, and your killing power is formidable. Go there."

The young man nodded and then reached out to grab it, and a carving knife that had not been there before naturally appeared in the void.

In ancient times, before the existence of paper, our ancestors used bamboo slips to inscribe records.

"I'm off." The young man casually swung his hand in front of him, and then his figure slowly disappeared.

At the same time, throughout the Great Sheng Dynasty, anyone whose cultivation had reached a certain level would sense it.

At the summit of Mount Tai, a giant rock moved, and then a figure of light and shadow emerged from it, looking towards the southwest.

On the banks of the Yellow River, a giant tortoise appears and disappears amidst the waves, with an old man seemingly sitting cross-legged on it, suppressing the flood.

Various secret realms, blessed lands, major cities, mountains and rivers, and seas all exhibited different reactions, with the most intense and direct reactions naturally coming from the various Confucian and Taoist forces.

However, Zhu Ge was unaware that when he uttered the first word of the first sentence, "Heaven," the two faint strands of literary energy within him were completely drained.

This was something he had anticipated.

All he wanted to do was finish reciting the first sentence, then cause a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth, thereby attracting attention from all sides.

It's not that I intend to actually finish writing the Book of Changes directly.

However, he realized something was wrong after uttering the first sentence.

This literary style—Zhu Ge was deeply moved.

Although his literary energy was instantly drained, he still did not feel that his literary energy was completely depleted.

The boundless spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly converged into his body.

If it were a normal body, it would probably burst in a matter of moments.

However, the blessing song is for physical training.

His body seemed to have become a human-shaped converter, with a continuous stream of spiritual energy converging from all directions and then being directly transformed into literary energy through his body.

Mid-stage of the Confucian-Taoist realm!

Late stage of the Confucian-Taoist realm!

It even directly led him to cultivate a Confucian and Taoist mindset!

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

Wenxin's heart pounded, just like Zhuge's martial arts heart. It beat for a while, then grew louder and louder, like the roar of rivers and lakes, or the rumble of thunder.

The sound disappeared a moment later.

Great sound!

Zhu Ge's literary heart actually condensed directly, even pushing him to the late stage of the second realm, on par with his martial heart.

"Is this... the human heart?"

Zhu Ge's heart stirred.

The essence of martial arts lies in the heart, and the essence of Confucianism and Taoism lies in the human heart.

This is the way of the blessing song.

He had previously concentrated the essence of martial arts, and later, by giving a poem to the True Lord of Extinction and the others, he obtained his first wisp of literary energy.

Later, during a conversation with Yu Xiucai, he seemed to have some insights and wrote the preface to "Ren Jing".

At this point, if we were to say that what he is writing now is not the "I Ching," but rather the "Human Classic" that conforms to this world.

"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."

"The earth is receptive; a virtuous person should cultivate virtue and bear all things with generosity."

"When thunder roars repeatedly, a virtuous person should be filled with fear and self-reflection."

"Following the wind, the superior man carries out his mandate and acts accordingly."

"When the mountain is combined with the mountain, the superior man's thoughts do not stray from his proper place."

Zhu Ge recited famous quotes from the Book of Changes.

These famous quotes represent the eight trigrams: Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake. The following sentences guide the virtuous person in self-cultivation.

The Book of Changes was known to almost everyone in the past. It is one of the Four Books and Five Classics and has an extremely special status.

The most crucial part is the first sentence: "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

This single sentence laid the foundation for the inheritance of a great civilization from the previous era.

When floods come, we don't go to play on arks, but rather to control the floods, build water conservancy projects, and dredge waterways.

The lack of fire was not due to seeking or stealing, but rather because people made fire by rubbing wood together.

There are also stories like Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, Jingwei filling the sea, and Kuafu chasing the sun.

These are all spiritual imprints of a great civilization.

The spirit of "self-improvement" can be seen in every story.

Since Zhu Ge is going to write "The Classic of Man", how can he do without this classic that guides people on how to become true gentlemen?

"Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen—"

"————Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use————"

"—Heavenly virtue cannot be the foremost virtue."

As I recited the blessing song line by line, memories of my past life and the sights and sounds of this life flowed through my mind.

At the same time, he walked step by step into the sky, with literary energy spontaneously forming steps for him and the gentle breeze spontaneously spreading his fame.

High in the sky, Redmi Immortal was both shocked and furious, but he couldn't move at all!

Because at that moment, two more people appeared in the sky.

"Haha, big brother! Not bad!"

"The annals of history have gained another stroke—a bold and vibrant one!"
