Chapter 297: Dragon Roars in Zhongzhou! Vast and Endless! What is Confucianism?
“Hahahaha, you beat me into submission?”

Mu Ren laughed mockingly and looked at Su Changqing with a sarcastic expression.
“You think you can do something that even your teacher hasn’t done?”

“You ignorant boy, no matter how powerful your divine appearance is, you can’t possibly fight against the Great Sage and the Quasi-Emperor!”

As he finished speaking, Mu Ren’s terrifying aura of a quasi-emperor rose up and covered the sky.

The people behind him include great saints at the peak, saint kings, and many other powerful people.

In addition, there was also a quasi-emperor with an old face standing side by side with Mu Ren.

Two quasi-emperors and many powerful gods.

This terrifying force far exceeds the Holy Academy at this time.

Because at that time, there was not even a quasi-emperor in the Holy Academy, and even Wei Cang was still one step away.

Confucianism and Taoism have been divided for many years, and the strong ones are far less powerful than those of other sects.

These people are the strongest that Confucianism and Taoism can produce.

Now with two quasi-emperors facing each other head-on and many powerful men surrounding them, it was clear that the Holy Academy had no chance of winning at all.

However, whether it was Wei Cang or Shu Han and others, they just waited calmly.

There are not many strong people in the Holy Academy, but Su Changqing alone is enough!
“Are you planning to merge with Haoran and forcibly improve your realm?”

Mu Ren looked at Su Changqing and said with disdain, “Tian Jiang Haoran was indeed very strong just now, but how strong can you be?”

“King? Or saint?”

“Oh, even if you can ascend to the Great Sage, can you really turn the world upside down with your own strength?”

At this time, many Confucian practitioners and people watching the battle looked at Su Changqing in confusion.

Just as Mu Ren said, they couldn’t see any chance of the Holy Academy winning, nor could they figure out what Su Changqing’s trump card was.

“King, Saint?”

Su Changqing smiled and looked up at the sculpture in front of him.
“Here is all the Confucian and Taoist knowledge I have accumulated since I started practicing Taoism.”

“I am just a saint. You guys underestimate me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the court changed slightly.

Without any hesitation, Mu Ren shouted,
“Kill! Unify Confucianism and Taoism today!”

boom!
The sky collapsed in an instant, and all the secret magic powers in the sky poured down like rain.

The sky and earth changed color, and hideous cracks appeared all over the sky.

The attack of the two quasi-emperors combined with many powerful men made the entire Zhongzhou City tremble.

At this moment, Su Changqing stretched out his hand and slowly touched the statue of Emperor Wen.

The world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then
boom!
Endless light burst out from all around the sculpture of Emperor Wen.

The dazzling light illuminates the sky and fills the entire sky.

A literary aura as vast as the waves and tides rose into the sky from the statue of Emperor Wen.

All the Confucian and Taoist knowledge that Su Changqing had accumulated since the day he became Su Changqing’s disciple completely burst forth today.

On the first day, I saw the great principles spoken by the Confucian immortal.

The beautiful poems and verses written by Erniu.

In the past, I would recite famous quatrains and quotes in my spare time on a whim.

There is also the crazy poem that he recited when he crushed Emperor Wen on the Fenyun Terrace that day.
Too much is too much.

Even Su Changqing himself did not know how terrifying the literary energy he had accumulated inside the statue of Emperor Wen.

Now that it has erupted, the entire huge Zhongzhou city has been submerged in the vast cultural energy.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the overwhelming energy that was everywhere and so dense that it was outrageous.

“What a joke! How can there be so much noble energy?”

“How many wise sayings did he create to have such a terrifying background?”

“Oh my god, the unusual movements of Emperor Wen’s statue over the years couldn’t be all because of Su Changqing, right?”

“Hiss, what kind of Confucian and Taoist attainments does this person have to have to achieve such a level.”

Everyone in Zhongzhou City was filled with shock.

In the past, being able to induce a vision in Emperor Wen would be recorded in history and become famous throughout the world.

But now, Su Changqing, with his own strength, has filled the entire Zhongzhou with a sense of righteousness!

Such an exaggerated scene shocked everyone.

At the same time, many powerful people who were watching the battle were also stunned.

“Su Changqing actually has such a trump card?”

Zhao Shanke stared blankly, muttering absentmindedly, “Such a vast literary aura, how many realms does it elevate to?”

“The pinnacle of Confucianism. Su Changqing’s attainments in Confucianism are so terrifying.”

Ximen Xiu looked incredulous, and the elder beside him was even more stunned.

They knew that Su Changqing was powerful in swordsmanship, but they never thought that Confucianism was not inferior to swordsmanship at all!
Being able to inspire such a vast literary spirit, Su Changqing could almost reach the pinnacle of Confucianism in one day.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that Su Changqing’s attainments in Confucianism and Taoism were even stronger than his attainments in swordsmanship!

At the same time, Mu Ren and other powerful men from the court were standing there in a daze.

They looked at the endless vastness that filled the sky and earth with confusion in their eyes.

After studying Confucianism for many years, they are considered to be well-read and knowledgeable.

But after reading through the historical records and counting the past events, I have never seen such a dreamlike scene.

The combined attack they had just launched was so powerful that even a quasi-emperor had to temporarily avoid the attack.

However, the mighty torrent that was like a floodgate opening had actually laid a barrier from the sky.

Those incoming attacks did not cause any hindrance to Su Changqing and directly collapsed into the void.

At this time, Su Changqing looked up at the sky, stretched out his hands, and spoke softly.

“melt!”

boom!
Countless amounts of noble energy swarmed down like young swallows returning to their nests.

A strong wind blew between heaven and earth, and Su Changqing’s black hair fluttered.

Where he was, a huge vortex emerged from the sky.

In the center of the huge vortex, vast literary energy continued to merge into Su Changqing’s body.

The world inside his body was shaking, and Su Changqing’s realm began to soar at an incredible speed.

Break through the divine method in an instant and reach the peak!

Another breakthrough! The Confucian and Taoist principles emerge, and he becomes the king!
Haoran merged into the body, the path of law became clear, and he reached the end almost instantly, becoming a saint!
Countless people were shocked, looking at the unprecedented breakthrough speed with endless horror in their eyes.

And this is just the beginning!
The vast sky merged into his body, the principles of Confucianism and Taoism emerged, and Su Changqing’s aura gradually became terrifying.

boom!
As a phantom of the law like a light chain emerged, Su Changqing’s realm broke through in an instant.

That is the realm of quasi-emperor!
The aura of terror filled the heaven and earth, and the terrifying pressure made the heaven and earth wail.

Until the vast Zhongzhou disappeared, Su Changqing stood tall in the sky, looking down at everyone below with a calm gaze!

The world was silent until a moment later, when a trembling sound was heard.

“Quasi-Emperor. Peak!”

After these words were spoken, countless people burst into an uproar.

Become a quasi-emperor in one day!
This incredible scene shocked everyone to the point of numbness.

Even the mighty ones in the world and the lords of various regions were stunned and speechless.

They have practiced Taoism for many years, but have never seen such a terrifying breakthrough speed.

“The imperial family has been defeated.”

Some people sighed and looked sad.

With a quasi-emperor at the peak of his power, and such a monstrous figure as Su Changqing, the outcome was reversed in an instant.

No one had expected that Su Changqing’s trump card was so strong.

The moment it was opened, the hope of the court was instantly cut off.

“impossible!”

Mu Ren roared like a madman, “It’s fake, all fake!”

“How could someone become a Quasi-Emperor in one day? Even Emperor Wen can’t do it!”

“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe you really have the fighting power of a quasi-emperor!”

“kill!”

Mu Ren burst into murderous intent, and many powerful people from the court behind him also attacked at the same time in panic.

Now they have no way out.

If they lose the battle for orthodoxy, the Holy Academy will definitely not give them a chance to live.

Now, the only choice is to fight!

“Changqing, these people.”

Seeing everyone taking action, Shuhan hurriedly spoke up and wanted to say something.

With Su Changqing’s current strength, it is not difficult to destroy these people.

But the difficulty is to change these people’s ideas. They are on the wrong path, but they are Confucianists after all, and they are an indispensable part of Confucianism.

If all these people were killed, Confucianism and Taoism could indeed be unified.

But with the loss of so many strong people, Confucianism will be weakened to the extreme, and it may even be unable to recover.

The reason why Shuhan spoke was very simple.

The Mu family, who took the lead, must not be kept, but it would be best if the rest of them could be converted rather than killed.

“Don’t worry, brother. I know what’s going on.”

Su Changqing interrupted Shuhan’s words and looked at the great scholar who was rushing towards him with cold eyes.
“Conversion is the last step, but before that, we have to kill another group!”

After he finished speaking, Su Changqing did not hold back at all, and with a slight raise of his arm, endless righteousness emerged.

A golden brush fell into his hand.

Su Changqing held the Haoran golden pen in his hand, using the world as a scroll and Haoran as ink, and carved fairy characters all over the sky like dragons and phoenixes dancing.

“hold head high!”

The immortal seals changed with the wind and transformed into giant dragons roaring at the sky.

But in the blink of an eye, hundreds of giant dragons emerged at the same time, crisscrossing from the void and bringing down tremendous pressure.

boom!
The endless secret magic powers that were coming towards him were ruthlessly crushed by the giant dragon’s sturdy body.

The terrifying aura of a peak quasi-emperor caused endless cracks to spread across the void.

“kill!”

Su Changqing shouted coldly, and dragons gathered in the sky, and a majestic aura filled the sky.

Faced with the Fish and Dragon Dance performed by the peak quasi-emperor, those great scholars were like fragile cloth and were destroyed in an instant.

There were screams and dragon roars everywhere.

In just a moment, the glaring blood spread all over Zhongzhou City.

All the great scholars present were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene.

Dragon roars in Zhongzhou!

Corpses everywhere!

Many years ago, there was also a scholar who killed everyone until they lost their voices.

The same giant dragon appeared in the sky, and the same great scholar changed color.

However, the Confucian immortal from that year disappeared, and in his place came the even more terrifying Su Changqing!
“town!”

Su Changqing showed no mercy and stepped down with a cold face.

From where he was, a huge chessboard covering the sky and the sun appeared, covering everyone in Zhongzhou.

The chessboard is crisscrossed with lines, and a giant dragon roars inside.

Endless murderous intent erupted, and in the dazzling light, splashes of blood appeared.

Although Mu Ren and those great scholars outnumbered them, they had no chance to fight back against Su Changqing at this moment.

“I don’t agree!”

“Why is it that the Confucian Immortal lineage has endless luck?”

“Why have we been lurking for so many years, but still failed?”

Mu Ren’s black hair was disheveled, and he spoke in anger and grief with a look of embarrassment.
“Emperor Wen, open your eyes and see where our dynasty went wrong!”

“We are also working for the development of Confucianism, why do you have to favor the Confucian Immortal lineage?”

He looked at Su Changqing and roared madly:
“Although we are dead, the ideals of the imperial court will be passed down forever!”

Su Changqing looked at him calmly.

He moved his feet slightly, as if the mountains and rivers were turning, and in an instant he appeared in front of Mu Ren.

“kill!”

Quasi-Emperor Mu Ren’s aura exploded, and he looked ferocious as if he was ready to die together with Su Changqing.

The next moment.

A hand that seemed to be made of divine iron instantly grasped his neck.

Mu Ren struggled violently, but under Su Changqing’s suppression, he was like an ant, unable to move.

“The teacher didn’t kill you back then because he wanted you to think clearly about the future of the literary world and the true meaning of Confucianism.”

“But not only did you not reflect on yourself, you instigated others and encouraged evil thoughts.”

Su Changqing looked at Mu Ren in his hand with a cold expression.
“No one can save you today, and the Mu family will disappear in Confucianism.”

Mu Ren was not afraid at all when he heard this, but laughed mockingly.

“My son, are you threatening me with death?”

“We Confucian scholars are afraid of losing our reputation, of not being able to learn, of leaving a bad name.”

“We are afraid of many things, but we are not afraid of death!”

“You have seen a warrior begging for mercy, but have you ever seen a scholar kneeling on the ground?”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the great scholars whose bodies were covered in blood and laughed wildly:
“Old friends, you are waiting for a terrible death!”

When this question was asked, loud laughter broke out.

“What’s the harm in death? I can leave a good name behind me, and I won’t be afraid of death!”

“Hahahaha, my death today is exactly what I want in the court!”

“Su Changqing, come and kill me! After today, you will be the executioner of Confucianism and the sinner who will destroy the future of Confucianism.”

The powerful men of the court laughed their way to death without any fear.

The many powerful people who were watching the battle all shook their heads and sighed when they saw this.

Confucianism is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard.

What can defeat them is only reason, not weapons.

This is also why, in the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, force has never been the best option.

Because you can kill them all, but you can never defeat them.

The only thing that can truly defeat them is a truth that everyone recognizes.

Su Changqing’s previous words, “Heaven moves with vigor, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement,” did touch some people.

But the great scholars and strong men present seemed to have deeply rooted ideas that could not be changed by a single word of truth.

Unless Su Changqing can speak out the “truth” that can destroy their ideas, these people will truly surrender.

“Is it really true that we can only kill them all?”

Seeing that even now, the great scholar was still fearless and unafraid of death, Shuhan, Bogu and others all sighed.

Today’s scene is so similar to the scene when the Confucian immortals cleansed up Confucianism and Taoism.

The imperial family was defeated again, but they are like weeds in the wilderness, springing again with the breeze.

Perhaps many years later, another Mu family will appear, causing Confucianism and Taoism to split again, just like reincarnation.

“Stubborn!”

Listening to the heroic words of readying oneself for death, Su Changqing looked at the great scholars present.
“You can’t let go of the thought of attending the imperial court, but it can help you practice faster and comprehend Confucianism better.”

“But have you ever thought about what the true meaning of ‘Confucianism’ is?”

A great scholar covered in blood laughed when he heard this.
“Why ‘Confucianism’? Of course, it is to strengthen oneself and spread Confucian literature throughout the world!”

“Let everyone recognize Confucianism, and let Confucian practitioners become gentlemen admired by everyone!”

“For the world, stand up for the gentleman’s spirit and chivalrous character!”

“My son, you can agree with that!”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the court cheered.

Even those Confucian practitioners who had not participated in the war could not help but nod secretly.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. A true Confucian practitioner should have the demeanor of a gentleman and the spirit of a chivalrous man, so that he can be recognized by people all over the world.

however.

Su Changqing snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said mercilessly, “Narrow-minded words, selfish thoughts!”

“You are not only wrong, you are even pretending to be a Confucianist!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the powerful people in the court showed anger on their faces.

They can die, but their ideals cannot be doubted!

“Then tell me, what is the true Confucianism?”

A great scholar spoke in a stern voice, his words full of indignation.

Not only him, but all the Confucian practitioners present at this moment looked at Su Changqing.

They also wanted to see what the difference was in Su Changqing’s understanding of “Confucianism”.

“A true Confucian.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing looked at everyone present, and his profound voice filled with truth resounded through heaven and earth.

“You should establish your mind for the sake of heaven and earth, and establish your destiny for the sake of living and people!”

“Inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints and create peace for all generations!”
