Reward: The Wordless Heavenly Stele! (4K)

"Saint, the leader of the White Deer Academy is White-Robed Scholar ranked seventy-second on the God King Ranking, even higher than our Lin Household Clan's ancestor. It is said that he once fought against a Demon Venerable from the Demon Realm and ultimately escaped unscathed."

Lin Tianyi, a ninth-rank divine king of the Lin clan, followed Lu Changsheng to participate in the Confucian Assembly. He was knowledgeable and recognized the famous white-robed scholar.

The top 100 Great Confucian on the God King Ranking are not yet Saints, but they are only one step away from becoming Saints.

The Household Ancestor Lin was ranked after the White-Robed Scholar, which speaks volumes about his strength.

The Nine Great Confucian Sects are enough to rival the Daoist Holy Land, and they are not lacking in Great Perfection God Kings and Saints.

"And that old man with a youthful face and white hair is the Lord Nanhua, one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects. He is even more remarkable; he is one of the Saint of the Nanlu Academy."

Lin Tianyi gestured to the old man in the middle of the seats at the Nanlu Academy.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Although Lord Nanhua concealed his aura, Lu Changsheng could still sense how terrifying he was.

The Confucian Sect Saint and the High Antiquity Ancestor of the Taihua Sacred Ground, who was also the Taihua Goddess’s Younger Sister, were powerhouses of the same level.

Taihua Sacred Ground should also treat them with respect.

"That Old Codger from the Tianming Academy who holds a wine gourd, don't let his appearance fool you, he's also a Saint, Yellow Dragon Lord of the Tianming Academy. In High Antiquity times, he killed a terrifying Demon Venerable with his 'Yellow Dragon Post,' and is recognized as one of the Confucian Sect Saint."

Lin Tianyi recounted the origins of these people as if they were his own.

There were at least three Confucian Sect Saint who came openly, as well as more than a dozen Great Confucian were famous on the God King Ranking.

After exchanging Master with the other Eight Great Confucian Sects, the Confucian Sect Assembly officially began.

The first part of the Confucian Sect Assembly was a competition among the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

Only disciples who have cultivated Confucian Dao and Daoism for no more than one million years are eligible to participate in the competition.

Since the Confucian Sect Assembly is held once every million years, it's a good opportunity to see what kind of geniuses with the potential to become Saint have been cultivated by the Nine Great Confucian Sects in the last million years.

Of course, besides the Nine Great Confucian Sects, other Confucian Sect, large and small, may also sign up if any disciple believes they have the ability to challenge the genius disciples of the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

Judging from previous Confucian Sect Assembly, the Nine Great Confucian Sects have almost monopolized the best Confucian disciples in the Immortal Realm. It is extremely difficult for disciples from other Confucian Sect, large and small, to defeat any one of the nine disciples sent by the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

At each Confucian Sect Assembly, there are always disciples from smaller Confucian Sect who are dissatisfied and want to challenge the Nine Great Confucian Sects, but their numbers are small.

At this Confucian Sect Assembly, each of the Nine Great Confucian Sects sent one genius, while twenty-three disciples from other Confucian Sect, large and small, signed up, bringing the total to thirty-two Confucian geniuses.

Mo Huazhi represented Ziyang Academy in the competition.

"Zhi'er, it's been a long time since we last met. This is Law Treasure I prepared for you a long time ago, but I've never had the chance to give it to you. Keeping it will not be of any help to me."

Lu Changsheng took out a Writing Brush.

This is the Confucian Sect Confucian Sage Sacred Brush Merit Law Treasure awarded by the system when Mo Huazhi advanced from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

The Confucian Sect Merit Law Treasures were of no use to Lu Changsheng.

Changsheng Sect only has one Confucian disciple, Mo Huazhi, so no one else is suitable for this Law Treasure.

"Do you still remember what your master told you? To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth, to secure a destiny for the people, to continue the Supreme Lore of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations—only then can this Law Treasure be truly mastered."

"This disciple always remembers Master's teachings and has never been negligent."

Mo Huazhi was finally reunited with her master. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Lu Changsheng as she accepted the Confucian Sage Sacred Brush with both hands.

Master still enjoys teaching disciples as much as ever.

Mo Huazhi focused her gaze and examined the Confucian Sage Sacred Brush closely. She wondered what material it was made of; it was warm as jade and felt light in her hand.

This Confucian Sage Sacred Brush is not of high grade, but it is a Merit Law Treasure. If one establishes a heart for heaven and earth, establishes a destiny for the people, continues the lost Supreme Lore of the past sages, and brings peace to all generations, accumulating supreme Merit, the Confucian Sage Sacred Brush can change the world and create wonderful works of art.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Mo Huazhi the "Confucian Sage Sacred Brush's Merit Law Treasure of the Confucian Sect, and received the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward: the Wordless Heavenly Stele.]

Um?

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

There's a reward for this?

Also, what is the Wordless Heavenly Stele?

Lu Changsheng separated a wisp of his Divine Sense to peer into the Inner World.

Within the Inner World, a Stone Stele, as tall as the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree, stood between Heaven and Earth, towering into the clouds, surrounded by the Qi Sea.

This Stone Stele has a rough surface but no inscription.

What is this thing?

Lu Changsheng had seen many treasures and Law Treasure, and the system had returned all sorts of treasures to him, but this was the first time Lu Changsheng had ever seen something so strange.

The Wordless Heavenly Stele has no inscriptions, sword marks, or records of Cultivation Method, unlike the Myriad Sword Walls of Mount Shu, which can be used to comprehend sword intent.

"Could this be a Law Treasure?"

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

The Wordless Heavenly Stele isn't some kind of Law Treasure like a brick, used to smash people, is it?

Lu Changsheng attempted to refine the Wordless Heavenly Stele to see what was so wondrous about this treasure.

Lu Changsheng's Divine Sense entered the Wordless Heavenly Stele, but the Wordless Heavenly Stele was like a stone, impossible to refine.

"Not Law Treasure?"

Seeing that he could not refine the Wordless Heavenly Stele, Lu Changsheng used his divine sense to try to lift Wordless Heavenly Stele up and see if he could throw it like a brick.

However, the Wordless Heavenly Stele remained completely still.

"That's really strange..."

Lu Changsheng gave a helpless, bitter smile. What on earth was this system reward?

That's enough.

Since it's a treasure rewarded by the system, it must have its own use. We can discover it slowly later.

"And this ring contains your Cultivation Resources. Every one of your senior brothers, Senior Sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters has received resources, and you are no exception."

Lu Changsheng took out the Space Ring he had prepared for Mo Huazhi, which was filled with various treasures needed for cultivation, especially top-grade writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and other treasures used by Confucian cultivators.

"My master is so good to me."

Mo Huazhi was deeply moved.

Years later, Lu Changsheng still recognized her as his disciple and prepared Cultivation Resources for her in advance, just like when they were cultivating on Azure Cloud Peak.

Although Mo Huazhi was still very weak at that time, it was the most memorable period for her.

"Daoist Tuquan, how have you been these past years?"

Mo Huazhi also picked up the Big Yellow Dog.

The old Daoist Tuquan blushed slightly. "I'm perfectly fine."

"It's really strange. Uncle Mo, who is usually so aloof and calm, has suddenly become lively and seems quite happy."

"I heard that Uncle Mo is an old acquaintance of theirs."

The disciples of the Ziyang Academy were dumbfounded.

Uncle Mo, who was usually Pure Cultivation and rarely smiled, was actually chatting and laughing with the Taihua Saint Ziyang Academy, his Disciples, and the Big Yellow Dog.

The Master remained calm and composed.

Mo Huazhi had just secretly communicated with him, explaining the whole story.

Mo Huazhi was a disciple of Lu Changsheng in the Mount Shu of the Three Thousand Small Worlds. Both master and disciple successfully Ascension Tribulation Transcendence and ascended to the Immortal Realm.

This relationship between Mo Huazhi and Lu Changsheng is a good thing for both her and Ziyang Academy, so the Master doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Lu Changsheng defeated the Imperial Son who possessed the Supreme Emperor Body at the Heavenly Court Assembly. Once he becomes Great Expert, he will be able to influence the situation in the Immortal Realm.

"This is bad. Ziyang Academy has this connection with Taihua Sacred Ground. If our Tianming Academy wants to become the leader of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, or even unify the Nine Great Confucian Sects, I'm afraid we won't be able to bypass Ziyang Academy."

The esteemed Great Confucian of the Tianming Academy wore solemn expressions.

Tianming Academy has always considered itself the leader of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, but it has been discovered that Ziyang Academy has close ties with the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty and Taihua Sacred Ground, making it very likely that Ziyang Academy is the one that can become the leader of the Confucian Sect.

"Ziming, now it's up to you to defeat Mo Huazhi from the Ziyang Academy."

Zhuo Xiangren placed his hopes on Song Ziming, the greatest genius cultivated by the Tianming Academy over a million years.

"Please rest assured, Uncle-Master, I will definitely Champion and bring glory to our Tianming Academy."

Song Ziming knew he was no match for Lu Changsheng, but he was confident he could handle Lu Changsheng's Disciple.

After Yellow Dragon Lord put down his wine gourd and learned about the connection between Mo Huazhi and Lu Changsheng at the Ziyang Academy, he suddenly felt that the wine in the gourd no longer tasted good.

With the Ziyang Academy involved, the Tianming Academy's attempt to integrate the Nine Great Confucian Sects is likely a long way off.

Other Confucian Sect also had their own agendas.

The strength of the Nine Great Confucian Sects was originally relatively balanced, but it seems that Nine Great Confucian Sects balance may be about to be broken.

"The Group One match: Song Ziming from the Tianming Academy versus Yan Nian from the Eastern Sea Academy."

The competition phase of the Confucian Sect Assembly has officially begun.

The rival of the Tianming Academy is Eastern Sea Academy.

Eastern Sea Academy is not Nine Great Confucian Sects, but it is still a sizable sect.

Two Confucian Sect geniuses faced off, each with a Wooden Table placed before them.

With a flick of their sleeves, the two conjured up writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the Wooden Table.

These writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were their Law Treasure and treasures.

The two rolled up their sleeves and began grinding ink, filling the air with the fragrance of ink.

Both were Confucian Sect geniuses, and the calligraphy they used was naturally not ordinary, but rather a precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the duel between the two to officially begin.

The Cultivation Methods of the Confucian Sect and Daoist Sect are different. Confucian Sect absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and transform it into Righteous Qi, using literature to prove the Tao.

Of course, Confucian Sect also practice Swordsmanship, but Swordsmanship is only used as a supplement in combat.

Then, Song Ziming and Yan Nian picked up their Spirit Brushes, dipped them in ink, and began to write with vigorous, flowing strokes on the golden Xuan paper.

Two invisible vortexes formed on Ziyang Mountain, drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, creating a powerful and chaotic scene!

Song Ziming finished his last stroke, and the calligraphy on the Xuan paper, flowing like dragons and phoenixes, shone with golden light and soared into the air, totaling a thousand characters!

"The late king wore mourning clothes and diligently followed the mandate of Heaven!"

In the Firmament, the sound of the Great Dao resounded, and a thousand golden characters formed a golden divine seal that spanned the heavens and the earth.

The many Confucian Scholars were greatly alarmed.

"This... this is the 'Heavenly Mandate Thousand-Character Essay' from the Tianming Academy, said to be able to suppress all enemies in the world!"

"Truly Confucian Sect genius with the potential to become Saint at the Tianming Academy! If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely become Saint one day!"

Song Ziming's actions alarmed all the Confucian Sect, large and small, and even some Great Confucian felt inferior to him.

Lu Changsheng remained calm and composed.

At the Heavenly Court Assembly, Lu Changsheng witnessed the geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces, including Chu Wuqing, Tian Chengjian, Yuexi, and Imperial Son Ku, all of whom were more powerful than Song Ziming.

However, Lu Changsheng also gained something.

The Cultivation Methods that Confucian Sect geniuses primarily focus on differ from those of the Daoist Sect geniuses.

Mo Huazhi said from the side, "The Heavenly Mandate Thousand-Character Essay is one of the supreme martial Supreme Lore of the Tianming Academy. It is said to be a calligraphy style created by the Remote Antiquity Saint who founded Tianming Academy. Song Ziming has already obtained a trace of its essence."

"That's interesting."

Lu Changsheng did not cultivate the Righteous Qi, so he could not cultivate this Confucian Sect Cultivation Method. However, this did not prevent Lu Changsheng from broadening his knowledge. In the future, when he encounters such opponents, he will also have ways to deal with them.

"Thunder God Demon-Subduing Post!"

Yan Nian of the Eastern Sea Academy was half a step behind Song Ziming, but he finally finished the calligraphy. The Xuan paper sparked with lightning, the wind howled, and his clothes fluttered as lines of ancient characters flew out from the paper.

Rumble!

Chaotic Divine Thunder and the Great Dao Golden Thunder roared, and lines of ancient characters formed a holy spirit with a red face and beard, wearing a battle robe of thunder and lightning, holding a steel whip, as high as the sky.

"The Thunder God Demon-Subduing Post Supreme Lore, the supreme martial art of the Eastern Sea Academy, is also a Higher Vehicle model for cultivating Confucian Dao and Daoism. Yan Nian's participation in the Confucian Sect Assembly for sparring shows that he has indeed come prepared."

"In this era of great contention, the Eastern Sea Academy has also produced a promising talent."

"This is a disciple of Shen Li, Great Confucian from the Eastern Sea Academy."

"But is it Shen Li, ranked 155th on the God King Ranking?"

"Exactly."

"No wonder Yan Nian dared to compete with the geniuses of the Nine Great Confucian Sects; a great teacher produces a great student."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, praising the two Confucian Sect geniuses endlessly.

"Our Tianming Academy is the foremost institution of the Confucian Sect; the Eastern Sea Academy is far inferior. Break!"

With his Righteous Qi, Song Ziming activated the golden divine seal to suppress the "Thunder God Demon-Subduing Post".

The Thunder God Holy Spirit raised his steel whip and struck the golden divine seal.

Boom!

The two Righteous Qi collided, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble. A terrifying shockwave swept across the entire wilderness!

The Saint, including Master, Yellow Dragon Lord, and Lord Nanhua, immediately intervened. Their Righteous Qi caused the shockwaves generated by the two combatants to dissipate into nothingness.

The Saint was present, and the Confucian Sect disciples who were watching were all unharmed.

"Puff."

The golden divine seal struck the Thunder God Holy Spirit repeatedly, and Yan Nian, who had condensed the Thunder God Holy Spirit with Righteous Qi, was severely injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood, the crimson blood staining the collar of his clothes.

Boom!

With another impact, the golden divine seal utterly destroyed the Thunder God Holy Spirit, Yan Nian's Righteous Qi dissipated.

"I lost."

Yan Nian gave a bitter smile.

He still couldn't defeat the geniuses of the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

The reason why the Nine Great Confucian Sects are called the Nine Great Confucian Sects is because they have absorbed Confucian geniuses from the Immortal Realm Nine Great Confucian Sects, and these geniuses have also received guidance from Saint in their cultivation.

After defeating Yan Nian, Song Ziming put away his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and his gaze turned to Mo Huazhi.

Yan Nian of the Eastern Sea Academy is not worthy of being his opponent. His only real opponent is Mo Huazhi of the Ziyang Academy.

"Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage"

Lu Changsheng could roughly determine Song Ziming's cultivation level.

Mo Huazhi is currently between the seventh and Eighth Stage Immortal Emperor Seventh Stage, and this time she will be fighting across levels.

However, judging from Mo Huazhi's confident expression, this disciple may indeed have the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.
