Striding Too Wide

Regarding Tang San's thoughts, Zhou Qing nodded slightly. "We have a general understanding of the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects, and we have also met a sect: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What you mentioned are all essential for a sect, just stronger, not surpassing."

"Sects will eventually decline—"

"Among the Upper Three Sects, Clear Sky Sect was once the strongest, but now it can only close its mountains and not come out."

Tang San hurriedly asked, "Then how can it last?"

"You actually have an idea, don't you?" Zhou Qing countered.

"Indeed, there is one: to establish one or more lofty goals for the sect, but I don't know what they should be." Tang San no longer concealed his thoughts, hoping that Zhou Qing could guide him.

Although he had lived two lives, he felt that he was not as intelligent as Zhou Qing when it came to looking at things.

"Unleash the potential of your Martial Soul," Zhou Qing said with a slight smile.

"The talent of Martial Soul?"

Tang San was puzzled.

"The Blue Silver Grass's talent is to Listening to Nature's Voice. Perhaps you can study all the plants in the world, or Improved Grain Seeds, fruits and vegetables, or cultivate herbs; as for the Clear Sky Hammer's talent... Although the Clear Sky Hammer is called a war hammer, you can actually tell from the length of its handle that it is more of a tool than a weapon, and its main function is probably for forging."

Zhou Qing analyzed, "The essence of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer is vibration. Perhaps the predecessors of the Clear Sky Sect discovered this, but they used the Clear Sky Hammer in combat. However, I think this is a waste of its potential. Combat is not the key; vibration is the fundamental aspect."

"You can use this vibration for forging!"

In an instant, Tang San felt a sense of clarity.

Blue Silver Grass possesses the power to sense Blue Silver Grass and other plants, and this ability is further enhanced after obtaining its Second Soul Skill.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to use this ability to understand plants, Improved Grain Seeds, fruits and vegetables, and cultivate herbs?

The Tang Sect has a poison-based martial art, but poison is always criticized. Poison and medicine are also inextricably linked. Wouldn't it be better to extend this to the word "agriculture"?

Food is the most important thing for people!

In past lives, dynasties changed, but the peasant family endured and always occupied a place in society.

The same applies to medicine!

The Clear Sky Hammer's true talent is vibration. This vibration can be used in battle to kill enemies, but it can also be used to better forge metal.

Craftsmen, tools!

These inventions that make life easier for people will never fade! Even if they are Destruction by a sudden disaster one day, as long as humanity is alive, it will continue to create tools that make life easier for them!

In that instant, Tang San had an epiphany!

The Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects of the Douluo Continent only rely on strength to dominate, but strength will be subdued by even stronger strength, and naturally they will decline.

Only things that can be remembered by the people of the world can never fade.

In this respect, the major sects of the past also changed like dynasties, with one taking the stage and another rising, but the only things that remained unchanged were the four classes: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants.

Merchants are ranked last.

Although this is not the case in the Douluo Continent, Tang San was still educated in Confucianism, and even though things have changed slightly now, he is unwilling to accept that the main goal of the Tang Sect is to go into business.

And this point about scholars...

He knew he didn't understand the ways of officialdom and was unwilling to engage with them.

So--

Only two words remain: agriculture and industry.

Moreover, his two Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer, have different talents: the former is to Listening to Nature's Voice, and the latter is to comprehend the Source of Vibration.

Isn't this a natural correspondence between agriculture and industry?

The Tang Sect is known for its poisons and Hidden Weapon, but Tang San also knew the criticisms leveled against the Tang Sect by people in the martial arts world in his previous life, simply because these poisons and Hidden Weapon were quite insidious.

Therefore, to surpass the Tang Sect, poison and Hidden Weapon must be used openly and legitimately.

The general outline of the * Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record * states: Hidden Weapon is Hidden Weapon precisely because it is used in the dark; once exposed, it becomes a visible weapon...

But Tang San didn't want to do that. To surpass the Tang Sect, he had to make the Tang Sect's advantages public and walk on the right path.

Poison and Hidden Weapon must be preserved.

However, the methods of cultivating poisonous herbs and forging Hidden Weapon are essentially agriculture and industry. By bringing these two aspects into the open, and encouraging future generations to continuously cultivate new grains, fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and to invent and forge more efficient tools, we will surely be remembered by the people of the world forever.

At that time, the Tang Sect will never decline.

The skills of using poison and Hidden Weapon must also be preserved, and swift and decisive countermeasures are needed when others attack, slander, or invade.

Based on agriculture and industry, we aim to benefit the people of the world, establish the Tang Sect Clan's eternal reputation, and demonstrate the compassion of a bodhisattva. As for poison and Hidden Weapon, they are thunderous methods to deter villains and ensure the long-term survival of the Righteous Path!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

Tang San felt as if thunder had struck his heart, and he suddenly understood how he could surpass the Tang Sect of his past life—

In the past, the Tang Sect, and even most sects, relied solely on ruthless methods, which meant they could only flourish for a short time and could not last long.

Only by cultivating a compassionate heart and universally saving all sentient beings can one achieve lasting happiness.

His goal in surpassing the Tang Sect was not to persuade people to become monks and live a life of celibacy, but to create Tang Sect in this world based on agriculture and industry, so that the people could truly enjoy the benefits, have enough to eat, and use convenient tools, making their lives convenient in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Naturally, the Tang Sect would be the people's choice!

Since Zhou Qing has the ambition to change the world, his Tang Sect will surely complement him and work together to build an indestructible foundation for all ages!

"Judging from your expression, have you figured it out?" Zhou Qing asked tentatively, seeing Tang San's dazed look as if Comprehending the Dao enlightenment.

"Yes, I understand. From now on, the foundation of the Tang Sect will lie in industry and agriculture." Tang San came back to his senses and explained his thoughts one by one.

This greatly shocked Zhou Qing.

Although Tang San still had some limitations in his thinking, he actually thought of using his talents from the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer to develop in the fields of agriculture and industry...

I really have changed Tang San a lot!

Unconsciously, a sense of pride welled up in Zhou Qing's heart.

But Zhou Qing quickly suppressed his anger and led Tang San toward his own doorstep.

Xiao Wu was already waiting at the door. She had taken a detour from the other side of the village and hadn't run into Old Jack or Uncle Wang.

"You two are walking so slowly!"

"You're walking too fast," Zhou Qing said with a chuckle. "We're men, if we take too big a step, we'll hurt ourselves."

"You're shameless to say things like that in front of a girl like me," Xiao Wu scoffed.

"I wonder who learned so many dirty jokes in the Nuoding Guild."

Zhou Qing grinned and took out the key from the Gray Pouch, revealing Xiao Wu's secrets.

Tang San joked, "I also heard a saying in the Nuoding Guild that when girls start acting like hooligans, boys have no chance."

"This is absolutely slander!"

Xiao Wu growled angrily.

"Haha!" X2
