Primordial Era: My God, this phoenix is ​​too cunning!

Regardless of the reactions from all sides, Li Er ascended from the mortal realm to the realm of immortals, appearing on the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory. At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name.

Li Er looked up at the four directions of heaven and earth, his expression unchanged, showing no sign of the embarrassment of being forced by Confucius to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In fact, Laozi was not without the ability to compete with Confucius, but there was no need for him to.

At this moment, after Li Er had surveyed the heavens and the four directions, he sat down cross-legged.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name."

"The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things."

"Therefore, one should always be without desire in order to observe its subtlety; one should always have desire in order to observe its manifestations."

"These two things come from the same source but have different names; they are both called profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all wonders."

Li Er spoke calmly, his voice resounding throughout heaven and earth. No matter what beings in the Three Realms were doing at that moment, they all heard him reciting the Tao Te Ching.

In an instant, all beings in the three realms felt as if they had touched the Dao, for the Dao is omnipresent and all around them.

As for Li Er, streams of Daoist energy emanated from him, growing stronger and stronger, resonating with the heavens and earth.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Dao seemed to sense this, and a booming sound appeared, along with various astonishing phenomena around Li Er.

All the powerful figures present were stunned. They had just been shocked that Li Er was no match for Confucius, and that he had abandoned the battle and ascended to the upper realm.

But now, seeing this scene, they were all shocked.

After Li Er finished reciting the Tao Te Ching, he suddenly looked up and shouted, "There are four great things in heaven and earth: the Tao is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and man is also great."

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

"Taoism, establish!"

Li Er's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded through the heavens and earth. High above, rolling dark clouds suddenly gathered, lightning flashed, and an immense divine might spread out.

The establishment of Taoism was a tribulation sent down by Heaven.

If one can overcome this obstacle, then one will gain the recognition of Heaven, Taoism will become independent, and one will be able to gather the fortune of Heaven and Earth.

If it cannot overcome this hurdle, then the establishment of the religion will naturally be considered a failure.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck, but Li Er swung his sleeve and dispersed it instantly.

Although he was a split soul of Lao Tzu, his strength was still incredibly formidable.

A mere bolt of lightning was easily dealt with.

However, this was only the prelude to the tribulation. Immediately afterwards, more and more frequent lightning bolts continued to fall.

Li Er gradually lost his carefree attitude and finally brought out the Vajra Bracelet.

The Vajra Bracelet encircled all the falling lightning, dissolving it into nothingness.

This fully demonstrates the power of this treasure that brings merit to the conversion of barbarians.

Finally, the tribulation of lightning was overcome, and streams of the power of heaven and earth converged from all directions.

Taoism was founded!

For a moment, the powerful figures from all sides gasped in astonishment at Lao Tzu's actions.

After all, Lao Tzu already controlled the Human Religion, and now he has established Taoism.

Does that mean that Lao Tzu alone is in charge of two major religions?

The founders of both the Human Religion and Taoism are Lao Tzu.

Regardless of what others thought, after establishing Taoism, Li Er glanced at the human world, then transformed into a streak of red light and flew towards the Xuandu Heaven beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

……

In the human realm, Confucius still sat cross-legged in the void, enveloped by a surging aura of righteousness.

The aura emanating from Confucius grew increasingly powerful.

On this day, Confucius finally opened his eyes, and it seemed as if the bright light of the sun and moon shone from them.

"boom!"

The human realm trembled, and the three realms trembled.

Confucius's aura swept across the three realms, shaking heaven and earth. He slowly rose, his gaze serene, as if the sun and moon were revolving.

Confucius spoke in a deep voice: "The alternation of yin and yang is called the Way; that which continues it is goodness; that which completes it is nature."

"At fifteen, I set my heart on learning; at thirty, I stood firm; at forty, I had no more doubts; at fifty, I knew the will of Heaven; at sixty, my ear was attuned to the truth; at seventy, I could follow my heart's desire without transgressing the rules."

"A virtuous person is inclusive but not partisan; a petty person is partisan but not inclusive."

"To attack heresies is truly harmful."

"Wealth and honor are what people desire, but if they are not obtained through proper means, they should not be accepted. Poverty and lowliness are what people dislike, but if they are not obtained through proper means, they should not be avoided."

"I have never seen anyone who truly loves benevolence and hates malevolence. A person who loves benevolence has nothing to surpass, and a person who hates malevolence is truly benevolent, for he will not allow malevolence to befall him."

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

After Confucius finished explaining his theory, he suddenly shouted:

"Confucianism, establish it!"

"Boom!"

Instantly, the heavens and earth trembled, the heavenly Dao roared, and in the high sky above the mortal realm, rolling dark clouds gathered, thunder was brewing within, and the overwhelming aura of heavenly might spread out.

Just as Laozi (Li Er) founded Taoism, Confucius (Confucius) also attracted a lightning tribulation when he founded Confucianism.

Once the tribulation of lightning is overcome, Confucianism can be established.

"boom!"

The first bolt of lightning struck, but before it could hit Confucius, it was dissipated by the righteous energy surrounding him.

More and more lightning bolts fell, their power growing ever greater.

Just when this spontaneously gathered righteous energy was about to be unable to withstand the attack.

Finally, Confucius raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Now that I have established Confucianism as a religion, I should also establish Confucianism as a way of life."

"boom!"

Confucius's words shocked the entire world, and everyone was astonished.

After all, Confucius establishing his own religion is already baffling enough, but now he actually wants to establish Confucianism and Taoism?

What are Confucianism and Taoism? Confucianism and Taoism are like the Taoist immortals, gods, and Buddhas in the world today.

This is a new cultivation system.

How is that possible?

But outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Xuandu Heaven, Laozi was not surprised, but rather his eyes showed a look of certainty.

He had foreseen this when Confucius summoned that righteous spirit during the battle between the human realm and Confucius.

Of course, even if he had anticipated it, Lao Tzu was still deeply shocked.

After all, setting up a separate system is not something that can be done casually.

How long did it take Kong Xuancai to attain enlightenment?

Is his comprehension really that amazing?

Even worse than Lin Yang?

Laozi couldn't help but suspect Lin Yang, feeling that the Confucianism and Taoism were probably not solely the work of Confucius or Kong Xuan.

Lin Yang must have also played a role in pushing things along.

In fact, Lao Tzu's guess was correct.

Although Lin Yang will not participate in the Hundred Schools of Thought debate this time, he can still use some methods to guide Confucius to understand Confucianism and Taoism by proving his Dao in his dream. This is just a minor matter.

At this moment, as Confucius spoke of establishing Confucianism,

The lightning above its head seemed to have become even more intense, its power greatly increased.

However, Confucius remained unmoved and continued, "The Confucian and Taoist doctrines are what people need; they exist between heaven and earth and within the hearts of men."

"Confucianism and Taoism emphasize cultivating a righteous and upright spirit, which is the very essence of Heaven and Earth!"

"Therefore: Heaven and Earth possess righteous energy, which manifests in various forms, becoming rivers and mountains below, and the sun and moon above. In man, it is called the vast and righteous spirit, which fills the boundless sky..."

A surge of righteous energy surrounded Confucius, suddenly surging and roaring.

Confucius took a deep breath, and it was as if his chest was shining brightly, with the sun and moon within it.

His eyes shone brightly, one like the sun and the other like the moon, and an even more terrifying aura erupted from Confucius.

This aura is different from that of the immortal path, the divine path, the Buddhist path, the demonic path, and so on.

It is a new way, the Confucian way! This is the spirit of the Confucian way, vast and bright, upright and righteous, like the straight and unbending spine of a person living between heaven and earth.
