My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

During this period, it is necessary to lay the groundwork for unifying the demonic sect.

The Wuji Demon Sect and the Hehuan Sect have begun to form an alliance, and have even made contact with the Ziqi Pavilion, which means that they are also on guard.

But... what good is being on guard?

She proposed the plan, and naturally someone else would complete the preparations for her. She was a saint; all she needed to do was provide direction.

Su Chengying knew what Su Yue wanted to do, but he neither objected nor offered to help. He simply stood by and handed over all the power of the Blood God Sect to Su Yue.

Su Yue was originally the only choice for the leader because she was strong enough and had a high reputation.

But ever since Su Yue married Qi Yu, her thinking has changed. She wants to be a carefree person and live a peaceful life with Qi Yu, without any ambition at all.

That's why Su Chengying chose Su Yun as his successor, but Su Yun really didn't have the talent in that area.

Su Yun is very smart, but he can't think in a flexible way. This kind of personality makes him unsuitable to be a leader.

So when Su Yue explained the plan to him, Su Chengying agreed without hesitation and handed over all the power of the Blood God Sect to Su Yue.

Qi Yu's situation spurred Su Yue into realizing that she couldn't properly protect her family in her current state, so she chose to become stronger.

Su Chengying also wanted to see just how far Su Yue could go.

A qualified leader does not need to do everything himself.

If a new leader does everything himself, it means he is not mature enough.

Specialization is key; let professionals handle professional tasks.

Su Yue has done a pretty good job these past few days, even to the point of being perfect.

She had a very thorough understanding of the Blood God Cult and made good use of everyone in the cult.

……

After Su Yue got dressed and washed up, she left the bedroom and saw Qi Yu in the living room.

Qi Yu was setting breakfast on the table when he saw Su Yue. He stopped and smiled slightly.

"My wife, you've come at just the right time. Please sit down and have a meal!"

Su Yue looked at the food on the table and smiled helplessly.

"Husband, is it really necessary to do so much?"

Qi Yu prepared a lot of food: pumpkin porridge, steamed buns, eggs, and fruit. There were seven kinds of food in one breakfast.

"This is my hobby. My wife, please eat more and don't let our child go hungry!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue shook her head, sat down at the table, picked up a hard-boiled egg, and tapped it on the table.

But Su Yue stopped what she was doing and looked at the tightly closed front door as soon as she peeled off a piece of eggshell.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a knock on the door. Su Yue lowered her eyelids slightly, hesitated for a moment, put down the eggs, and got up to open the door.

Upon opening the gate, three Confucian scholars stood outside.

The leader was an elderly man dressed in a blue robe, with gray hair tied up in a bun, exuding a strong air of refined elegance and scholarly refinement.

The old man narrowed his eyes when he saw Su Yue; he naturally recognized her.

In the past, even if it meant certain death, he might have tried to give his two students a chance to survive.

But now he appeared very calm. After a slight moment of surprise, he recovered and gave Su Yue a gentle smile.

"I'm looking for my young friend Qi Yu!"

These three people came from Qingyun Academy and were all at the level of first-grade Confucian scholars, while the old man was even infinitely close to the level of a great Confucian scholar.

The masters of Confucianism are called great Confucian scholars, which is quite unique.

Great Confucian scholars are generally stronger than ordinary masters because the extraordinary skills of Confucianism are very powerful. In this respect, only Taoism can slightly rival them.

If the Confucian school hadn't lost most of its cultivation manuals during several calamities, causing a break in its lineage and preventing the emergence of grandmasters, the position of leader of the righteous path might not be in the hands of Tianya Haige now.

Unlike Taoism, which advocates inaction and following the natural course of things, Confucianism is the most adept at adapting to change.

The reason why Confucianism has been able to continue to this day is that it keeps pace with the times, constantly changing its ideas to adapt to the new era.

The reforms of a thousand years ago allowed Confucianism to survive for a millennium, until it is now on the verge of collapse.

They have to make another choice; if no grandmaster appears, they may truly perish.

Because of the Tianya Haige, and even many dynasties, they disliked them.

It's not an exaggeration to say that martial artists and Confucian scholars dislike each other.

Chapter 217 The Reason

The Confucian scholars arrived, and Qi Yu sat in the courtyard with the three Confucian scholars.

Su Yue went to make tea, deliberately leaving the space for Qi Yu.

This is a matter between Qi Yu and the Confucian school; it has nothing to do with her. If she were there, there might be things that couldn't be discussed openly.

"I already know the purpose of your visit, but I don't quite understand why you are so obsessed with talent. Why don't you attract the inheritance of other sects to improve yourselves?" Qi Yu asked directly, expressing his doubts.

This was something he had never understood. If Confucianism's methods were incomplete, why not just find other schools of thought to practice?

Why be so fixated on Confucian practices?

They only practice the techniques of other schools and don't want to leave Confucianism, so why are they still so persistent about it?

The vice-principal of Qingyun Academy, who was also the leading elder, hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Then I'll be frank with my young friend Qi Yu. It's not a secret anymore!"

The vice dean calmly said in a gentle tone, "Because my Confucian cultivation method has the potential to break through the shackles of the Saint Realm and achieve immortality."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu's expression turned strange. Was this old man lying?

Immortality?

Are you kidding me?

Who dares to claim immortality?

Even your Confucian sage died young, do they really believe such nonsense?

Did I overestimate the intelligence of Confucian scholars?

Seeing Qi Yu's expression, the vice dean knew what Qi Yu was thinking, smiled, and said, "Young friend, don't disbelieve me. The longest-lived person in history was our Confucian sage, who lived to be 433 years old!"

"Even until his death, he still looked like a man in his prime!"

Qi Yu was speechless. This was recorded, and it seemed to be true.

Even the founder of Taoism only lived for a little over three hundred years, which is indeed shorter than the Confucian sage.

A saint, as long as he is not killed, naturally has a lifespan of more than two hundred years, which is twice that of a grandmaster.

The average lifespan of ordinary people in this world is only fifty or sixty years, a grandmaster's lifespan is one hundred years, and a saint's lifespan starts at two hundred years.

The fact that the Confucian sage lived for over four hundred years certainly speaks volumes.

Taoism has always pursued the Tao and nature, all for the sake of achieving immortality.

When it comes to longevity, Taoism has the most authority to speak on the subject.

But the fact is that the Confucian sage lived longer than the Taoist patriarch, which is somewhat ironic.

So, is the reason why these Confucian sages did not change to other cultivation methods and remained loyal to Confucian cultivation methods because of the desire for immortality?

The allure of immortality is indeed quite great. After all, there is great fear between life and death, and who can truly take death in stride?

But it sounds completely absurd!

Is it really possible for a person to live for over four hundred years?

This Confucian sage wasn't some kind of animal that had become a spirit, was he?

After all, there are 100,000 mountains in the south, and there are many monsters in the mountains, including some that can speak human language.

It seems that there's no problem with the lifespan of monsters being longer than that of humans!

“Alright, I understand your reasons, but your Confucian cultivation methods have been lost, and I haven’t learned them, so I can’t help you complete them!” Qi Yu said.

The Confucian methods were lost in the chaos; I only possess talent, how can I help you? Do you think my talent contains the Confucian methods?

The vice dean smiled and said, "Young friend, are you familiar with the characteristics of talent?"

Each type of true energy has its own characteristics. For example, my Azure Nether True Energy is freezing; its ultra-low temperature can freeze everything.

The righteous energy of Taoism strengthens the body and willpower. With righteous energy in one's body, one is immune to all attacks and has an absolute defensive capability.

That's true talent...

I only know that it can strengthen inanimate objects, but when applied to myself, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

So Qi Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The vice dean smiled and said, "The talent of Confucianism has no fixed characteristics; its foundation lies in imagination, in turning the abstract into the concrete!"

Qi Yu frowned, somewhat puzzled. Turning the unreal into the real? Imagination?

Why does this sound so familiar?

magic?

It seems to be based on the fundamental concept of magic. Is this what Confucianism cultivates?

Is talent magic? Holy crap!

Thinking about it carefully, the sea does seem to have some similarities!

The Confucian concept of "words becoming law" means using talent and voice to change objective things.

He's a jinx; he says thunder will strike and fire will start; he says you can find money and you actually find money.

And the root of this seems to be imagination!

You need to have ideas before you can speak them out, otherwise it's just nonsense.
