Zhao Xing wrote " On the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory Heavenly Timing: Chapter on the Timing" and " On the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory: Chapter on the Earthly Advantage Institute" in the thirty-fifth year of the Jingxin Calendar.

At the time, he needed to quickly reconcile the conflict between Pang Yuanzhen and Sima Yunhai, so he did not elaborate on the two new theories.

Just a few days after he sat down to discuss Daoism with Pang Yuanzhen, Wei Zhao, and Yang Song, an assassination attempt led by Mister Gu, Yu Shanzi, and Daoist Tian Jue occurred.

Afterwards, the main body went into seclusion, while the other clones went around rescuing people. The clones left in Bright Moon Prefecture were also busy handling government affairs for Ye Yukong.

Therefore, the two new treatises at that time mainly consisted of scriptures Jinglun expounding on ideas. The Theory of Law on specific applications of magic and spells only cited individual examples in the book for demonstration.

Pang Yuanzhen, Wei Zhao, Yang Song listened with great interest, precisely because it lacked a detailed Theory of Law.

Of course, with the guidance of the Jinglun, after two years, the Classics Scholar of the Shangluo Academy had already developed many treatises on the Dharma based on Zhao Xing's Jinglun Theory of Law.

Even though the war delayed the research for two years, it did not prevent the two new papers from becoming popular research topics at the Shangluo Academy.

Why did Liu Tianning insist that Zhao Xing accompany him after the awards ceremony?

Besides serving as a model for the "Green Seedling Law" and sparking a Great Dao Contention, the main reason was the strong demand from the Classics Scholar at various academies.

Left with no other option, Xu Xing had to specifically request that Liu Tianning bring Zhao Xing over.

It should be noted that Zhao Xing's Great Circuit Treatise was published before "New Treatise on True Self Heavenly Creations".

The Shangluo Academy at that time was already restless!

They were afraid that their own holy son would switch allegiance to the Time Faction.

It was only after Xu Xing and Liu Tianning discussed the matter and learned of Zhao Xing's true intentions that they remained calm and held back.

Otherwise, the scholars from the Shangluo Academy would have personally gone to Pinghai Province to welcome Zhao Xing in a sedan chair!

How could that be allowed? At that time, Zhao Xing was only Fifth Grade Agriculture Official. If we did that, wouldn't we be spoiling his grandson to death?

Now things are different. Zhao Xing has been enfeoffed as the Divine Might Marquis, and has many achievements. His ability to govern and fight has been certified by the imperial court!

Two years later, the Jinglun fermented and spread far and wide.

In this way, it won't be a case of praising someone to death. No one will dare to object to the Myriad Dao Tree's enlightenment, the Divine Splendor Pool's breakthrough, or the precious resources that will be prepared for Zhao Xing later. Any doubts will also dissipate.

Nurturing people is like planting trees. Zhao Xing's smooth growth and successful journey are actually due to the silent support and protection of Liu Tianning and Xu Xing behind the scenes.

Xu Xing is now letting Zhao Xing speak slowly and carefully, which means he's not afraid of Zhao Xing standing out from the crowd.

Zhao Xing has already reached the Third-Rank Realm Flourishing Growth into a big tree. He is no longer afraid of wind and rain. Even if there is wind and rain, there are still two big trees in front of him to block it!

"The Green Mountain Dao Discussion Forest has been in preparation for a long time. You can go anytime. When would you like to start?" Xu Xing asked.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today," Zhao Xing said.

If it were an ordinary Third Grade had just broken through, it would probably take a considerable amount of time to consolidate their realm.

However, Zhao Xing didn't need it at all. He already had a solid foundation, and after being refined by the Divine Splendor Pool, his foundation was the most robust Third Grade foundation in the world.

There is no need to spend any more time consolidating one's realm.

"Okay, let's go now."

After a long period of contemplation, Dr. Zhao finally emerged from seclusion to preach, and this news quickly spread throughout the Shangluo Academy.

"Zhao Xing has emerged from seclusion. Is he at the Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest?"

"I heard he's already broken through to the Third Grade. Old Fang, let's go check out this Cenozoic Era genius."

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

"Dr. Zhao has emerged from seclusion! Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest, come quickly!"

"Wow, they're finally here! Thank goodness I wasn't on a business trip abroad!"

"I have been studying the new text for two years and have made some progress, but I am still one step away from being promoted to Teaching Dharma Master this year."

"It all depends on Dr. Zhao!"

"Has Divine Might Marquis emerged from seclusion? I wonder if he will discuss the Theory of Law today."

"The Jinglun profound, and the Theory of Law are practical. But for us Military Sima Nong, the Theory of Law of the Divine Might Marquis are the most important."

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

"Damn it! How come I was just sent to Yao County for a state-sponsored discussion today?!"

"Brother Liu, what are you complaining about? Send a straw man!"

"How can listening to the great master's teachings as the same as the original master listening? Do you take me for some kind of peerless genius, that Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet can also comprehend the Straw Man Clone?"

"Are you out of your mind? You sent a straw effigy on official business, but I'm back first. The matter of Yao County..."

It's nothing serious, the straw man is enough to handle it.

"That's right, that makes sense. I was confused! When do we start the lecture?"

" At Wei Hour the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), you only have half an hour to travel!"

"I'm heading straight for [Great Leap Dao], Brother Wang, grab me a good spot! I'll treat you to a big meal next month!"

"No problem."

At this time, all the Agricultural Official at the Shangluo Academy who had free time began to rush to the Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest.

Even if the main deity didn't have time, they would still send straw figures to listen to the lectures.

Within fifteen minutes of the news spreading, tens of thousands of people appeared at Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest!

"Why are there so many people?" Li Hao, the person in charge of the Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest, was wearing Linen Magic Robe and operating the Magic Array when he saw the number of people.

"Many people are sending straw men to reserve seats," the deputy said with a wry smile. "It's unbelievable that even low- Third Grade are coming to join in the fun."

The Agricultural Official, Third Grade at the Shangluo Academy, was extremely enthusiastic, mainly because the central idea of the new chapter was very much to their liking!

Using plants to Heavenly Timing and nourish the Earthly Advantage Institute, how glorious it is!

As for the middle-ranking Agricultural Official, they are looking forward to Zhao Xing's "Theory of Law," because after the Fifth Grade cultivates Pure Origin Soil...

Then you can train military units.

What would happen if a complete Theory of Law were to emerge, perfectly aligned with the central idea?

This means that the self-centered Minister of Agriculture can take up many official positions that were originally held by the opportune time faction or the local faction!

If the Time Faction" can Heavenly Timing of events, so can I; if the Earthly Advantage Faction" can do it, so can I!

Wouldn't that make it easier to become an official?

Learn first, then you'll master it; how could you not come?

The reason why Gao Pin Agricultural Official came is quite simple.

It was mainly out of curiosity.

If Zhao Xing truly has profound insights to offer, it would greatly help elevate the status of the Shangluo Academy.

Besides, Xu Xing and Liu Tianning both went there, so for that reason alone, we have to give them face and listen.

Therefore, Zhao Xing's sermon this time actually swept up all the ego-based ministers of agriculture at the upper, middle, and lower levels of the Shangluo Academy.

"We've surpassed 50,000 participants!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"This won't do, Manager. At this rate, we won't even be able to keep up with the 200,000."

The deputy walked in, looking flustered. "In less than half an hour, the number of people at Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest has exceeded 100,000."

"People have already started fighting over seats."

"Law Bureau to send more people!" Li Hao said. "If there aren't enough people, go to the Ritual Hall and the Temple to invite Ritual Cultivator and Priest over. I'll go report to the Dean."

"Yes!" The deputy hurriedly ran out again, while many Straw Man Clone were still running around inside the office.

There's no way I can handle it all by myself.

The Dao Venue Bureau has never been this busy before. The Straw Man Clone have been gathering dust all day, but today they've all been sent out.

"There are so many people." Luo King, Heaven Derivation King, and Duke of Wei looked down from a small boat above the Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest.

As top-tier experts, they naturally occupy the best positions.

However, this grand occasion also shocked them.

"If Zhao Xing's Theory of Law meets expectations, there will be three major benefits, and naturally, there will be many people," Heaven Derivation King said with a smile. "What are the three major benefits?" Duke of Wei asked, though he had read the Jinglun, he could only think of a part of them.

Heaven Derivation King, "Firstly, it benefits the Military Sima Nong. If the Theory of Law meets the expectations brought about by the Jinglun, then the combat power of the Military Sima Nong of the True Self Faction will naturally increase."

"Because war is nothing more than Favorable Timing, Location, and People, location, and popular support, the status of the Military Sima Nong of the True Self Faction will rise accordingly."

Luo King agreed, "Indeed. Judging from the data of the Pacifying Barbarians War, the Military Sima Nong each legion were basically those who favored Time Faction and Earthly Advantage Faction. Those True Self Faction mainly focused on farming in supply cities and rarely went to the front lines."

King Tianyan continued, "The second is the Minister of Agriculture, Wen. The principle is the same as that of the Minister of Agriculture. Although there was originally a Classic of Disaster Prevention Herbs, the Minister of Agriculture of the Benwo faction was mostly an assistant official in the Directorate of Agriculture."

"If the Original Seed and the Derived Seed can Heavenly Timing weather and adjust the Earthly Advantage Institute, then the position of the chief official will definitely need to consider the Agricultural Official of the True Self Faction School more often in the future."

Thirdly, reputation.

"When either of the above two situations occurs, fame will naturally increase, and the impression of the True Self Faction' will change accordingly."

"It is foreseeable that the status of the egoist minister of agriculture will gradually rise in the future."

"With Jinglun and Theory of Law, plus fame, policy adjustments, and increased resources, the influence will become increasingly significant."

"The chances of the True Self Faction producing Grand Minister of Agriculture have greatly increased, at least in terms of their advantage when competing with the ' Heavenly Timing' and 'Earthly Advantage Institute ' factions."

All three were farsighted individuals, and they immediately understood the fundamental reason why Zhao Xing had caused such a sensation. Duke of Wei smiled and said, "Tianyan, you are Fate Officials, why don't you see whether Zhao Xing Xing's Theory of Law will meet expectations?"

Yes, all of this is predicated on the fact that Zhao Xing's Theory of Law achieves the expected results.

Otherwise, mere Jinglun are useless; it would just be a boast, a self-indulgent exercise by the True Self Faction.

To truly achieve the three impacts mentioned earlier, we must proceed from reality.

The Agricultural Official is pragmatic, and the imperial court doesn't talk about those empty and superficial things.

Heaven Derivation King stared down at the scene below, but his eyes reflected the future.

After a moment, he looked away.

The Duke of Wei hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Heaven Derivation King and said, "Well—"

"Crack crack crack~" Now not only did Luo King want to hit him, but even the Duke of Wei clenched his fists hard.

"Wait, don't hit me, I'll tell you." Heaven Derivation King immediately dared not keep him in suspense any longer. "I saw Zhao Xing being bowed to by the eight powerful figures on the Pine Forest Platform, which should be as expected."

The sermon began at Wei Hour PM, and Zhao Xing, along with Xu Xing, Liu Tianning, and a group of bigwigs, arrived at Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest at 1:15 Wei Hour.

"Look, it's Zhao Xing!"

"It's Dr. Zhao!"

"Divine Might Marquis!"

"Master Zhao is here!"

After Zhao Xing appeared, a cheer erupted from below.

"Why are there so many people?"

Zhao Xing was startled.

As the saying goes, when there are more than 10,000 people, it looks like a sea of people.

Now, this place stretches as far as the eye can see; there must be over 100,000 people here.

He glanced at Liu Tianning. "Teacher, this isn't a plant you hired, is it?"

He suspected that Old Liu had ordered and forcibly recruited people to attend the lecture.

Liu Tianning shook his head slightly. He hadn't done that. Forcing someone on such a matter would only bring shame to his disciple.

"I did make some procedural arrangements, but I did not issue any orders," Liu Tianning transmitted his voice.

To be honest, he never expected his disciple to be so popular.

A person's appeal is only truly demonstrated when it is put to use.

It's fine if the Debate Dao Field isn't open, but once it is, everything becomes clear at a glance.

"That's really surprising," Jiang Yaochun remarked.

Vice Deans Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danian, and Yu Xia were all secretly alarmed.

How many years has it been since the Shangluo Academy has seen such a grand occasion?!

It remains to be seen whether Zhao Xing can handle such a large event.

There is a process to discussing principles; it's not just rambling on.

In such a large public setting, Zhao Xing would be the first to speak.

The principles and laws were explained in their entirety.

There will be high-ranking individuals who will ask questions and discuss philosophy with Zhao Xing.

Because Shangluo Academy is already Shennong Holy Land, the evaluation given to Zhao Xing by the bigwigs is equivalent to official certification. Unlike at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch, where one would need to find a recommender and then send it to the main academy.

The opening of the discussion was accompanied by Ritual Cultivator's voice, which resounded throughout Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest.

"Listening to the Great Way is the way to achieve tranquility of body and mind!"

The sound, like a law, echoed in everyone's minds, and their bodies subconsciously quieted down.

They stopped talking and making noise, stopped moving around, and stopped being overly excited; they all stayed quietly in place.

This method is also a kind of Ritual Cultivator Silence Spell, but it is more advanced and gentle, and is suitable for use during lectures, sacrifices, and diplomatic ceremonies.

"The establishment of rites can quell the restless mind and wandering thoughts."

The people of Songshan immediately stopped their random thoughts; this was Ritual Cultivator helping them enter a focused learning state.

"The spirit of propriety enhances the strength of all beings, strengthens their vitality, and awakens their wisdom."

At this moment, everyone was enveloped in a faint Golden Light, and their Seven Po had all received a significant temporary boost.

If before it was a state of absolute focus, then now it's a state of increased wisdom and strength.

The Intelligence Reduction Method through Ritual Cultivator is contrasted with the Wisdom-Opening Method.

Of course, the spirit of propriety displayed by the Duke of Wei was an all-round improvement.

Sermons are usually very long, and it takes a lot of energy for the listeners to think about them.

Therefore, the opening Ritual Cultivator not only temporarily enhanced the listeners' thinking and learning abilities, but also boosted their physical strength.

Even Ninth Grade can maintain peak condition for half a month without food or drink.

Zhao Xing looked around and nodded slightly.

At this moment, the primordial energy in Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest was arranged in a neat and unique way, lingering around the bodies of countless people.

In other words, sacred places like the Shangluo Academy, with abundant vital energy and the aid of Magic Array in their practice areas, are places where Ritual Cultivator.

It commands the primordial energy of heaven and earth, capable of radiating across such a vast scale with powerful effects.

Even Zhao Xing himself was affected by the magic of the First -Ritual Cultivator.

He felt a surge in energy, reaching an unprecedented peak in his condition.

Everything is ready.

Zhao Xing went up to the highest section of a sacred tree in the Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest.

To ascend the high platform of the sacred tree and preach in the open air is called lofty discourse.

Around him were eight lower sacred trees, reserved for the second questioner in the process.

At this moment, the rings on the Divine Tree Lecture Platform radiated light.

Above was Hundred Flowers Meditation Cushion, where Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, feeling a refreshing coolness emanating from him.

As he sat down, the rings of the tree around him suddenly rose up.

Amplifying Tree Ring!

Zhao Xing's voice could travel far without him having to exert any effort, and it sounded quite loud to everyone.

It was as if Zhao Xing was speaking into the listener's ear.

"The root belongs to plants. It possesses the nature of things, the nature of self, and the nature of the Tao." Zhao Xing's voice was melodious.

It still begins with "Plant Law and Reason · Three Natures Theory".

Because " On the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory" is a further explanation of the three natures of plants.

"Things reveal their principles, I see their way, and the way reveals its method."

"The True Self is the universe itself; by understanding the Way of the True Self, one can understand the Changes of Heaven and Earth."

"Understanding the nature of things reveals their principles; understanding the nature of things reveals their methods."

"What's the use of reason?"

"Plant a hundred herbs to Heavenly Timing, plant ten thousand trees to nourish the Earthly Advantage Institute."

Zhao Xing began to explain the central ideas of his two Jinglun.

"How can a land of poisonous miasma be transformed into Fertile Soil? Poisonous miasma arises from the chaos of the six elements of heaven, with cold, yin, dryness, darkness, and light intermingling, which are evil energies of heaven."

"When plants return to their True Self, the six energies disperse, yin and yang regain balance, and the Heavenly Timing change."

"The Earth Fire Lotus takes root in the Flame Mountain. Over time, the Earth Fire Solar Yang transforms into Lesser Yang. Many people plant it, and the Flame Mountain, spanning millions of miles, becomes Spirit Mountain."

"Desert dust storms can be stopped by planting millions of trees, and the desert can be transformed into an oasis."

"Where there are dense forests, there is often cloud cover and rain—"

Theories and Theory of Law at this time have been mentioned, but they are still not specific enough.

"The Way of the True Self nurtures divine branches and immortal trees, Heavenly Timing through the nature of things."

"The fifth-order Soaring Sky Wood is fond of absorbing the light of dawn and dusk, and its branches can gather clouds where they are fully extended."

"Its roots can draw water from the Earth Vein, and the Soaring Sky Wood can be widely planted on mountain peaks and open fields. Its ability to gather cloud energy is especially beneficial during severe droughts."

The clouds gathered by the Soaring Sky Wood gradually thicken, which can bring forth timely rain; this is a method of using the properties of plants to alleviate drought.

"The six elements of the Heavenly Timing are wind, cold, heat, dryness, dampness, and fire."

"The four seasons are matched with the five elements, which is called 'the timing of the Heavenly Timing '. The Heavenly Timing throughout the year follows the five-step seasonal cycle, starting with the Wood Luck and ending with the fire cycle, earth cycle, metal cycle, and water cycle."

"If the Host Qi is disordered in the Wood element, and it cannot be utilized month by month, then the Soaring Sky Wood can be transplanted to the East."

"The annual cycle Tenth-Turn, and the seasonal fortune reaches its seventy-threeth day and fiveth quarter. It can be changed from level one to level three, and the Host Qi of wood is disordered by 'dampness'."

"After twenty cycles of growth, the level of 'Dampness Chaos' can be adjusted to four to six levels."

"If the Host Qi of the Heavenly Timing is disordered by the fire element, the Soaring Sky Wood can be planted in the due north. Fire and wood are in harmony in the north, and the dampness will be calmed."

"If the Host Qi of cold is disordered, then the plants planted in the west, with their annual cycles of eight quarters, will hibernate in winter following the seasonal water movement—"

From this moment on, Zhao Xing began to explain the specific spellcasting plan.

Furthermore, it is discussed in conjunction with the "Inner Six Qi" and "Five Elements and Seasonal Cycles" of the "Great Circuit Treatise of the Three Yin, Three Yang and Six Qi".

Even the Agricultural Official, who had never studied the principles of the Time Faction, could understand and apply these two texts.

The six internal energies originate from the interaction of the Inner Five Elements Heavens. Without understanding the six external energies, the Earth's Energy, and other energies...

It doesn't matter whether it's the morning glow or the evening mist.

The Self School's Minister of Agriculture, the Yin-Yang Self Sutra, must be studied.

Once you begin cultivating the Yin Yang True Self Scripture, the intermediate level is basically at the second level, where you can perceive the Qi of the Five Elements as fine as silk threads.

In addition, the Five Elements and Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are the basic knowledge of the Agricultural Official, so the Theory of Law that Zhao Xing gave were understandable even to the lowest -Third Grade Agricultural Official.

"If the six qi are disordered and the wind is disturbed, then the Wind-Rolling Grass will be planted on the west side of the earth wind."

"The six qi are disordered by summer heat, which can be divided into the autumn qi and the summer qi."

"If the natural disaster level is at the middle level three, the Blazing Sun Vine can be planted, as it is extremely yang in nature."

"The Blazing Sun Vine can follow the flow of Yang energy, spreading slowly across open fields and preventing the Heavenly Timing heat from eroding the Earth Vein— "

"If it is hot and dry, it can be planted at the Earth Vein alignment line for ten to fifty zhang."

"If it is hot and humid, the roots can be planted at the Earth Vein alignment line of fifty to one hundred zhang."

The summer heat of the six Heavenly Timing is different from dry heat and damp heat.

According to the five elements in the human body, the feeling of heat when standing outside and coolness when standing indoors is considered to be yang fire.

At this point, the Warm Hua Bottle is not useful for measuring.

For example, in the heat of midsummer, the water remains warm even after dark. But in the heat of late autumn, the water cools down as soon as it gets dark.

Since it cannot penetrate the earth's energy, the planting depth of the Blazing Sun Vine cannot be uniform.

Zhao Xing lectured on the Theory of Law Treatise for a long time, from September 6th to October 10th.

He didn't cover the top three levels of plant properties, and he also talked little about the bottom three levels. But he talked extensively about the middle three levels of plant properties.

Because the True Self Faction can activate Pure Origin Soil, which is equivalent to Fifth Grade, corresponding to mid-tier 3 plants.

Plants in the lower three tiers have too weak an effect to be worth discussing, and plants in the upper three tiers are too rare, and many are very unique and cannot be planted on a large scale, so discussing them would not be representative.

Even though Zhao Xing spoke very quickly, it still took him a full month to finish.

It involves 37,000 common plants with the five elements.

It encompasses all classes, categories, and systems.

A few days ago, the lower three-tier Agricultural Official could still understand, but when it came to the middle three-tier plants, the lower-tier Agricultural Official had a hard time understanding.

Because Zhao Xing no longer only listed individual plants, but began to include complex combinations.

"Do you understand?" Duke of Wei asked Luo King.

"What do I need to understand?" Luo King shrugged. "Just by looking at the reactions of those PhDs and deans, I know that the Theory of Law has achieved their expectations."

"I don't understand it either," Heaven Derivation King said with a smile. "But as long as they can understand it, that's fine."

The mid-level Agricultural Official were not only understanding, but also greatly shocked. The three members of the "sick, pregnant, and disabled" group were so excited that they slapped their thighs.

"Holy crap, I never imagined that Firecracker Bamboo could be used to manipulate the Earth Vein besides blowing people up!" Xin Bojian exclaimed excitedly. Their voices were only heard in a small area and wouldn't affect the others.

"No wonder when I used to treat the disease according to the ' Disaster Prevention Herbal Classic,' I always felt there was a problem. When I changed the location, the effect was much worse, while sometimes the effect was too strong." She Gongzhi slapped himself.

"I'm so stupid. It's such a simple principle, why didn't I even think about why?"

"Senior Brother, pull harder!" Wen Weiqi laughed. "I think you're still being foolish."

"Um?"

"You find it simple because Dr. Zhao explained it, and you only find it simple because you followed his instructions."

"Smack!"

After a month of speaking, some lower-ranking Agricultural Official couldn't take it anymore and started to leave.

But after they left, they ate and drank their fill, and quickly came back in.

For convenience, people simply draw water from the area around Songshan Daoist Temple.

In just one month, all the lakes surrounding Songshan have been drained!

"How is the painting?" Ji Ziyun asked, looking to the side from a small, Warm Bamboo boat.

There was an art studio there, with twelve painters working on their subjects.

There are already a lot of drawings on it.

Some of the paintings depict the environmental changes in Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest during Zhao Xing's sermons.

Some of the paintings capture the expressions of rapture and astonishment on the listeners' faces.

Of course, many more paintings depict Zhao Xing's heroic figure while preaching.

"Please take a look, Princess." An artist compiled the paintings into a booklet. "This is a collection of exquisite paintings made by Divine Might Marquis during his sermons over a month ago."

Ji Ziyun took some out to examine.

The Divine Might Marquis Pine Mountain Lecture Diagram

"Ten Thousand People Forest Pond Water Drawing Diagram"

Divine Tree Lecture Platform

"Not bad." Ji Ziyun nodded. "All painters will be rewarded, and those selected will receive double the reward."

"Thank you, Princess." The painter bowed respectfully.

Ji Ziyun carried the picture book back to her ship and treasured it.

A moment later, she came out and found that the sermon was still going on.

I was taken aback. Why wasn't he finished yet?

Of course, that's not all!

Zhao Xing's " On the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory" is now expanding the foundation of the Theory of Law, and he is only now talking about the nature of things among the three natures.

There are still 'self-nature' and 'Tao-nature' that haven't been discussed.

By October 11th, Zhao Xing began to discuss "self-nature" and "Tao-nature".

Further refine the two chapters of " On the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory".

"Introspectively explore the subtle mysteries of life and nature, and experience the essential principles of the Great Dao."

"The inner vision resides primarily in the dantian."

"The dantian is the place where the essence of the human body gathers."

"The wonder of a scenic spot lies not only in one's own cultivation, but also in the connection with heaven and earth."

"Humans are the heart of heaven and earth, within the body, and are connected with the Earth's Energy."

"Those who cultivate to a profound level can observe the Changes of Heaven and Earth in their Inner Landscape."

"In spring, when life begins, the body's internal organs are vigorous, like all things reviving; in summer, when life grows, it is thriving and intense, like the blazing sun; in autumn, when harvesting, it gradually becomes more introspective, like grain being stored away; in winter, when life is stored away, it remains within, like hibernating insects lying dormant."

This is the principle of the correspondence between the inner universe of the human body and the great universe of mystery and darkness.

If Zhao Xing wanted his theory to become a classic work, how could he lack an exposition on the Way of the True Self?

Of course, his current path is not yet perfect, and he uses the Third-Rank Realm to explain his own nature and the nature of the Dao.

One can only try it briefly.

However, this framework is essential.

Otherwise, if he doesn't add to it, someone else will add to it later.

"Those who understand the universe and use their nature to govern the Heavenly Timing and the Earthly Advantage Institute will see the Way."

"Pure primordial soil gives rise to Dao nature, which is the Original Seed."

"The inner world Divine Radiance of the divine, analyzes the principles of heaven and earth, strengthens the foundation of the great Dao, and quells the chaos of the external Dao—"

On the high platform, the deans and Classics Scholar from the seven academies, including Chu Qianqiu, Yu Xia, and Zhuang Danian, were immediately shocked.

Because Zhao Xing actually started discussing the Dao and its nature!

It also incorporates the four classic methods of the True Self Faction.

"He's trying to encompass all the teachings in one classic text, sweeping up all the classics of the True Self Faction!" Jiang Yaochun couldn't help but exclaim.

"In ancient times, this would be considered a figure of the Dao level." The middle-aged woman's eyes shone with a radiant light.

"Demon—" Chu Qianqiu's lips moved, completely at a loss for words.

What Zhao Xing said in the following days truly shocked these high-level experts.

The true path of the authentic True Self Faction- realization begins!

"The principle of True Self is the principle of heaven and earth."

"The law of the True Self is the law of heaven and earth."

"The Way of the True Self is the way of heaven and earth."

"This is how things reveal their principles, I see their methods, and the methods reveal their way!"

Only then did Zhao Xing finally stop talking and stand up from the Shenmu podium.

The surroundings were completely silent. At this point, the second procedure should be initiated—sending several deans and doctors up to discuss matters with Zhao Xing.

But by this time, everyone had forgotten about this!

That's amazing!

"A classic has been born!"

"This is no longer an explanation of the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory, but has become a separate school of thought."

"Starting from the theory of the three natures, and drawing on a wide range of sources, it encompasses the essential explanation of the Yin Yang True Self Scripture, as well as the evolution of the Pure Origin Soil and the theory of the Inner Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory—."

"If this kid completes the advanced Dao and Dharma, he will truly become a founding patriarch in the future."

"He seems to have more to say; perhaps he already has a draft in mind?"

"Impossible! He's only just entered the Third Grade!"

"Given the current situation, what is impossible?"

Zhao Xing did indeed have something he hadn't revealed yet.

Leaving aside more distant examples, there are works on how to utilize different types of troops in warfare, such as "Hundred Things Law and Military Theory" and "Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture."

These are all capable of changing the current fighting style of the True Self Faction Military Sima Nong.

But it's impossible for him to write it now.

First, his understanding of the Dao is insufficient; he is only at the Third Grade now, which is not the right time.

Secondly, it should be left for future improvement, serving as a foundation for unifying the three factions.

"I was too careless when I was young when I was copying scriptures. What will I do when I'm old?" Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I still have to take it easy. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."

These facts alone are enough to completely shock the higher-ups at the Shangluo Academy.

Xu Xing said to Liu Tianning with immense relief, "Tianning, you've worked so hard."

Liu Tianning shook his head with a wry smile.

Yes, with Zhao Xing as his disciple, he's under more pressure now!

What goes around Reincarnation!

Back when Liu Tianning was training Zhao Xing at the Soul Offering Pass, he said, "You're not under enough pressure."

Now, it's Zhao Xing's turn to put pressure on him, the teacher.

Judging from the reactions of the many powerful figures from the Seven Academies below, it's clear that Zhao Xing will achieve a terrifying level of influence after this lecture.

"If it weren't Chu Qianqiu fighting you, but Zhao Xing, even if he wasn't as strong as you, I'm afraid many old guys would stand up and take the dean's position behind his back."

"Teacher, you're still laughing." Liu Tianning said helplessly, because Xu Xing said actually made a lot of sense!

Xu Xing chuckled, "Why can't I laugh? I'm almost dead, and I don't have any pressure."

When he first came to power, he only cared about killing, and no one of his rank could rival him.

It has a similar approach to Li Boqian.

As a result, by the time of Liu Tianning, Wang Tianzhi, and Meng Kun, the generation had reached.

Good heavens, they're full of monsters.

"Don't just stand there, take the lead in the discussion phase," Xu Xing said cheerfully.

Liu Tianning nodded, then flew up to the second tallest of the eight divine trees.

The discussion phase was not about mutual attacks, but rather about the two people sharing their understanding of the Dao, interspersed with demonstrations of magical techniques.

It can inspire those who observe.

Therefore, this is not a confrontational debate.

Not just anyone can be a theorist.

They were selected.

There must be people in the lower Third Grade, the middle Third Grade, and the upper Third Grade.

This was to demonstrate that the academy was open-minded and did not judge people based on their status or power.

Indigo

Before long, eight people flew up onto the Divine Platform Tree.

The high-ranking members include Liu Tianning, Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danian, and Yu Xia.

Those of medium quality include Wei Zhao, Yang Song, Wen Weiqi.

The lowest rank only has one woman.

A total of eight people flew up to the altar.

"Greetings, everyone." Zhao Xing stood at the edge of the altar and bowed to the crowd.

The eight people returned the greeting and then said, "Greetings, Dr. Zhao."

Of the eight people, the first to speak was Qiu Yuesheng, who had the lowest rank, only a Ninth Grade Agricultural Official.

As a representative, she was basically just there to make a show of it.

It's impossible to raise any substantive questions.

So her question is quite simple:

"Dr. Zhao, my name is Qiu Yuesheng. I would like to ask you a question," Qiu Yuesheng said crisply.

"Please speak," Zhao Xing said, extending his hand.

"Dr. Zhao, you said that plants can be used to Heavenly Timing and to control the Earthly Advantage Institute of the land. Do you think that the True Self Faction be the leader of the three schools?"

The sound Amplifying Tree Ring, and everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.

In fact, Zhao Xing's original words in the new chapter were "Heavenly Timing" and "cultivate the Earthly Advantage Institute".

However, in the past two years, this has been interpreted by many people at the Shangluo Academy as "commanding the Heavenly Timing" and "controlling the advantages of the Earthly Advantage Institute."

That's such a boost!

They directly elevated the True Self Faction to the position of the leader of the three factions!

When you're out and about, you give yourself your own identity!

From now on, when I go out and see those Agricultural Official who Time Faction and Earthly Advantage Faction, I'll have a solid basis for arguing and debating.

So when Qiu Yuesheng asked this question, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xing smiled too, as if he could feel countless earnest gazes upon him.

Although it is an undeniable fact that the Time Faction " is the mainstream, many people here still want to hear him say some words of encouragement.

However, those who favor favorable Time Faction and Earthly Advantage Faction might not like this, so it's a rather pointed question.

The person chosen by the Shangluo Academy was not chosen in vain.

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Yes, of course I hope that the Way of the True Self will become the strongest, so that my teacher may become the first Grand Minister of Agriculture in the history of this dynasty."

"When one person Attaining Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; wouldn't I also rise to prominence?"

Answer pointed questions with jokes.

It's not wrong to call it hope, and spreading it out wouldn't be considered a denigration of the other two factions.

Zhao Xing's words immediately drew another burst of laughter.

Qiu Yuesheng cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your explanation, Dr. Zhao. I wish Wish Fulfillment."

Next came Wei Zhao, Yang Song, Wen Weiqi.

All three of them are at the Fourth Grade of perfection.

Their discussions were not as casual as Qiu Yuesheng's; they were all substantial and meaningful.

The confusion arose while listening to Zhao Xing's sermons.

"Dr. Zhao said that plants can be used to regulate the five elements Earth Vein, thus balancing the six energies of heaven."

"I have also read Dr. Zhao's Great Circuit Treatise."

"The Host Qi describes the constant, Guest Qi measures the changes."

"If a county experiences a climatic change due to disordered six qi and imbalance of yin and yang, how can it be restored using nurturing plants?"

Zhao Xing calmly replied, "According to the 72 pentads of the lunar calendar, in the early fourth month, ' Earthworm Transforms into Earth Dragon ' will appear."

"This change of seasons occurs at the Start of Summer."

"Summer means 'growth'; at this time, all things grow to their fullest."

"The earthworm's change of temperament indicates that it has absorbed an excessive amount of qi, usually signifying a change in yin energy."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are fire worms that absorb the positive yang energy and cause a change in the yang nature of things."

"Knowing where the crux of the problem lies makes it easier to solve," Zhao Xing said. "In the initial stage of life, when the earth's energy is about to be released, it is a disorder of the Qi, that is, the Earth's Energy is chaotic. This can be suppressed by covering it with Yin Wood, which belongs to the earth element."

The answer here does not take into account the situation where changes have already occurred.

Because if a climate change has already occurred, it is actually much easier to deal with; simply deploy a large army to kill the mutated species.

However, this is only a temporary solution; even after killing it, its energy remains disordered.

There is also the possibility of a new round of climate change.

The phrase "calm down" usually refers to both the period before and after the change.

That is, the method Zhao Xing just mentioned.

Of course, the True Self Faction approach is relatively slow in dealing with climate anomalies.

The spells of the Earthly Advantage Faction and the Time Faction are more effective.

It's slow to take effect, but it's still usable.

The three of them continued to raise questions, and it wasn't until three days later that they finally stopped, still feeling like they hadn't had enough.

After the three finished their formalities, it was time for Gao Pin to discuss the Dao.

Liu Tianning was talking about the Dao related to the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet.

There's not much to say about that; Old Liu is more than capable of teaching Zhao Xing now.

He used the image of the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet" to introduce the topic, discussing the nature of the Straw Man Art, the self, and the Tao within the True Self and all things in nature.

Zhao Xing was mostly the one asking questions and listening.

In the course of their question-and-answer session, Zhao Xing incorporated the Ultimate Law of the True Self Faction into his Jinglun.

The two talked for two and a half days before ending.

"Thank you for your explanation, teacher." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.

Liu Tianning returned the greeting. "There is no order of learning, and those who are accomplished can be teachers. I have also gained a lot. Thank you, Dr. Zhao, for clearing up my doubts."

Old Liu is such a good person; even at a time like this, he doesn't forget to give his students a shout-out.

The second person to discuss philosophy with Zhao Xing was Chu Qianqiu, the Dean of the Soldier Envoy Institute.

"The Sword Bamboo are nourished by spring rain, which is beneficial for military purposes; the wind thaws the ice; and a thick fog rises."

"Pluck leaves to make golden knives, gather bamboo soldiers to form battle formations."

"How do we understand the nature of things, our own nature, and the nature of the Tao?"

Chu Qianqiu's question wasn't too difficult; after all, he couldn't possibly be asking anything too profound or mysterious at this point.

They came to make things difficult for Zhao Xing.

Unless he wants to die.

However, his problem is not simple either, because if Zhao Xing doesn't understand the Every Tree and Bush an Enemy Art," and doesn't understand the characteristics of different troop types...

That's a very difficult question to answer.

In addition, he also needs to fit it into his own argument.

Chu Qianqiu's question was also a test to see if Zhao Xing had actually touched upon the Theory of Law of high-level troop types.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said:

"Spring Rain Sword Bamboo, which hides gold and nourishes water. The harmony of the true yang arrives and becomes firm. A single thought can cause it to condense and disperse, thus its movement brings frost and mist!"

"The morning air is vibrant, like a rosy dawn; the 'flying' signifies the height of murderous intent!"

"Using spring rain and bamboo shoots to kill the remaining life force of winter, thus balancing yin and yang, is called the Great Way!"

Chu Qianqiu was startled; a true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Zhao Xing answered the question about the properties of the Spring Rain Sword Bamboo.

From the perspective of Jinglun and commentaries, why does the emergence of Spring Rain Sword Bamboo trigger celestial phenomena?

Next, I will explain my own nature and the nature of the Tao.

When True Self Sword Bamboo, a killing intent will naturally arise. How is this killing intent generated?

Just like doing things on a hot day, you become irritable and lose patience.

A person's inner world determines their emotional changes. When the sun shines brightly and the clouds are in full bloom, the killing intent is strong. This is the "self-nature" generated by controlling Plant Soldier.

The final paragraph is an explanation of the nature of Tao.

Describing the killing and ruthless characteristics of the Spring Rain Sword Bamboo from the perspective of Tao is in line with the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

"This kid really does have a good understanding of the art of warfare among different types of soldiers," Chu Qianqiu thought to himself.

To be able to answer so quickly clearly shows that one has the knowledge but lacks the practical skills.

The latter can be cultivated gradually over time.

"Excellent!"

Chu Qianqiu praised him, and then he had no more problems, because he believed that Zhao Xing was on the right track.

He was also walking this path. Regardless of any past disputes between him and Liu Tianning, at this moment, he and Zhao Xing were like-minded.

It is possible to sit down and discuss principles.

Therefore, all of Chu Qianqiu's subsequent questions were exploratory in nature, and he also poured out his insights to help Zhao Xing complete the framework of the high-grade stage.

When it was Zhuang Danian and Yu Xia's turn, their discussions took different directions.

The doctrines they spoke of involved Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The Five Elements theory of Cave Heaven Blessed Land is quite unique.

The two of them are now discussing the Dao with Zhao Xing, allowing Zhao Xing to examine and fill in any gaps in his own Jinglun, preventing anyone from finding loopholes in this area.

Due to the complexity of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, their discussion lasted for another half month.

It didn't end until early November.

The end of the discourse phase signifies the conclusion of this sermon.

With this public speech, Zhao Xing solidified his position at the Shangluo Academy, becoming the second most important person after Liu Tianning.

The Pine Mountain Dao Discussion Forest lasted from early September to early November, and it became the most influential, widest-reaching, and highest-quality Daoist forum in nearly three thousand years.

It is foreseeable that, in the coming years, discussions about Zhao Xing and the contents of his Jinglun will erupt like a storm.

It began to sweep across Nineteen Provinces.

In the more distant future, a large number of self-centered officials and military generals will emerge in the positions of the Minister of Agriculture.

The Shangluo Academy in this lifetime is destined to become extraordinary because of Zhao Xing.

After the discussion, Zhao Xing returned to the villa that Old Liu had arranged for him to rest, and refused all visits and inquiries.

The ritual of Ritual Cultivator can enhance a person's energy and spirit, but afterwards one will feel particularly tired.

As the main speaker, Zhao Xing preached for over a month and then discussed the Dao with others for over a month. Even with his abundant energy, he felt fatigued.

The process of resting is also the process of consuming various treasures from the Shangluo Academy.

"Phew~ This is much more tiring than fighting a war." Zhao Xing lay in the hot spring soaking in the bath.

This hot spring is one of the top ten most popular hot springs in Divine Splendor Institute.

Divine Splendor Institute directly allocated a portion for Zhao Xing to use.

"It is now the seventh day after the conclusion of the discourse."

"For the seven days after it ended, I ate and drank and consumed all kinds of high-level fruits from the Shangluo Academy."

"Old Liu has really made something of himself; he picked a Ninth Order fruit just like that."

"He gave me several bottles of plant essence, which can be measured in drops." Zhao Xing casually picked up a fruit, took a bite, and the aroma filled the air.

In the past few days, he has done nothing but eat and drink!

Because of his strong foundation, his physical body, including his Fate Soul, is rapidly improving.

After shifting his position, Zhao Xing continued to organize his future plans.

"We set off on the third day of the fifth lunar month, and now it's the tenth day of the eleventh lunar month."

"The Jingxin Calendar is also coming to an end."

"As expected, the vacation granted by Heaven Derivation King is not enough," Zhao Xing couldn't help but think.

He hasn't Tianyong Province; he's already spent so much time in the Daoyuan Continent.

At this time, Emperor Jing already intended to change the reign title.

A small number of people already know that the next era name will be "Great Governance Era", but it has not been officially confirmed yet.

"Without a doubt, the Great Governance Era era name is just another way to lull those powerful nobles, Noble Families, and remnants of the Dao Academy into a false sense of security." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and leisurely bit into a bright red fruit.

"Now that everything is well under Great Governance Era, it's time to put away our weapons and let our horses graze freely. It should be time to calm down."

"The result was a shift from aggressive to lenient measures, and the powerful and wealthy faced a sixty-year period of torment."

"I was completely fooled."

"However, during the Great Governance Era era, the Dragon Court Ancient Land was indeed the only important matter," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If he doesn't plan to leave the territory of the Great Zhou, then the Dragon Court Ancient Land will be the focus for the next period of time. "Time is tight, and I can't stay at the Shangluo Academy for too long. After I finish my trip to Tianyong Province, I have to come back as soon as possible."

"The Dragon Court Ancient Land will open in the summer of the third year of the Great Governance Era, so I have about two and a half years to prepare." Zhao Xing opened a crystal box, and a transparent fruit appeared in front of him.

The Soul Heaven Fruit! After consuming it, even if the Fate Soul is killed and reduced to a state of nothingness, it is only a pseudo-nothingness and can still reassemble and transform into Yin God Body.

"The treasures I can currently consume at the Shangluo Academy are likely enough to bring my Fate Soul to the late stage of the Third Grade."

The top-tier Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body has entered the mid-stage of the Third Grade, and the first-rank True Intent is slowly growing.

"Then, I immediately went to Tianyong Province to get the benefits that Heavenly Yang True Lord had given me."

"Once I'm back, I need to make up for my shortcomings."

Zhao Xing once ventured into the Azure Sea Grotto Heaven.

He discovered his shortcomings during the challenges.

For example, one of the challenges, the "Dragon Language Decree," is his weakness; he's no match for those old scholars.

In addition, the level is different now.

"I am now at the mid-stage of the Third Grade, and my Fate Soul has even reached the late stage of the Third Grade."

"My competitors are no longer those in the mid-tier."

Those of the Third Grade do not need to participate in the selection process; a portion of the quotas allocated by the imperial court are directly given to high-ranking experts.

Back then, the competition was between those of mid-tier rank for a spot.

Zhao Xing never imagined that he would be able to break through to the Third Grade so quickly during Emperor Jing's reign, so plans can't keep up with changes.

He is now facing competition from high-end brands, and his previous preparations seem somewhat inadequate.

"The Dragon Court Ancient Land opens once every hundred years. This is my first time going in, so my requirements aren't high. I just need to take out a divine artifact, obtain a small amount of spiritual energy, and then let the Void Seed sprout. That would be enough to meet my expectations."

The Dragon Court Ancient Land is not only staffed by the imperial court.

The aquatic tribes that have never submitted to the Four Seas, powerful sects, and various forces from the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Ying Kingdoms will all be involved.

"Achieving this expectation is enough. The next time the Dragon Court Ancient Land opens, it will be completely different," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He still has a lot of "law" to learn, and his level is not high.

Learning magic based on Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage Institute, from beginner to advanced levels, takes more than a few years.

Furthermore, the cultivation of Plant Soldier combinations in the True Self Faction also requires a significant amount of time to develop.

The Dragon Court Ancient Land opens once every hundred years. After a hundred years, Zhao Xing's strength will definitely increase significantly.

Having finalized his plan, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and grabbed the Wen Bamboo Box next to him.

"I'll eat it!"

The 37th year of the Jingxin Calendar, the fifth day of the twelfth month.

Zhao Xing consumed and devoured a large number of treasures at the Shangluo Academy, basically filling up all the treasures that could be eaten and used in a short period of time.

His top-tier Dao Body reached the mid-stage of the Third Grade, and his Fate Soul reached the late-stage of the Third Grade.

"As expected of the most powerful foundation in the world, after consuming so many treasures, his top-tier Dao Body has only reached the mid-stage of the Third Grade, and he still has level six soil. His Fate Soul has only reached the late stage of the Third Grade," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The growth may seem small, but it's actually quite dramatic!

Because he is the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body, and what he condenses is the true meaning that can grow to the first rank.

In addition, his Fate Soul is at the late stage of the Third Grade, and he has reached the level of all seven Fate Soul!

"It's no wonder Chu Qianqiu objected back then. If the resources I consume were priced, they would be astronomical."

1

Zhao Xing gained a lot from his trip to the Shangluo Academy.

However, it was also on December 5th that he decided to set off for Tianyong Province.

"Zhao Xing, I can't go with you. I have important matters to attend to," Liu Tianning said.

Zhao Xing has so many resources to consume, Liu Tianning has even more.

He still has a lot to inherit, so even if he had a clone, it would be difficult for him to leave.

"Teacher, don't worry about me. Heaven Derivation King will accompany me," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Xing had been wandering around outside for half a year, Heaven Derivation King couldn't help but start urging Zhao Xing to hurry up again.

Therefore, he decided to accompany Zhao Xing to Abundance Capital to quickly carry out the instructions given by Heavenly Yang True Lord.

There are still so many things to do upon returning: the second level of the Derivation God Art, and the corresponding secret methods—if it weren't for the orders of Heavenly Yang True Lord, Heaven Derivation King wouldn't have wanted Zhao Xing to go to Tianyong Province.

"Then you'd better hurry up and leave," Liu Tianning said with a smile. "Your Jinglun have already spread like wildfire. If you leave openly, I'm afraid countless people will bother you."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat. This is the peak of the craze, and countless people will be begging to follow Zhao Xing.

This is too much trouble!

We can only wait until everyone gets used to the new classics, and then the fervor will subside.

"There's one more thing," Liu Tianning said. "Your new treatise has already been compiled into a separate book, and the academy has compiled it all; it's big enough to fit in a small room. Calling it a 'new work' wouldn't be appropriate anymore."

"You mainly elaborated on the theory of the three natures of plant law, the True Self Heavenly Creation Theory, the Yin Yang Five Elements True Self Scripture, and the Plants and Trees Great Dao Scripture."

"What do you think of the academy naming your theories ' The Zhao's Two Classics Commentary Collection ' and 'On the Yin Yang Five Elements Matter and Law Theory '?"

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Okay."

His current status is not high enough to constitute a "scripture" on his own, because scriptures are written by sages and patriarchs, and are generally only called scriptures after they have been tested for tens of thousands of years after their death.

Classics endure, and this requires the test of history.

Basically, no living person can create scriptures.

These are all Jinglun, that is, commentaries on the major scriptures of the sages of the past, among which the commentaries on the Theory of Law are the most influential.

Zhao Xing came to the Shangluo Academy, hoping to bring some benefits to the academy.

Let's distribute the credit for the organization work.

In short, with Old Liu around, there's no chance of anyone stealing credit.

"Complete Jinglun need to be printed and promoted throughout the world, which requires reporting to the imperial court, but the process is quite quick," Liu Tianning said.

Zhao Xing nodded, saying that the Shangluo Academy was the best authority.

After speaking with Liu Tianning, he went to say goodbye to Xu Xing.

That very night, he and Heaven Derivation King quietly left the Shangluo Academy.

They left Daoyuan Continent through the channels of the Li Fire Dao Academy.

Mystic Heaven Academy, Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.

Ling Tianchen, the leader of the Transformation Faction, flipped through the documents that Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing had submitted.

"Wasn't it supposed to True Self Heavenly Creation Theory? How come it's changed?"

"Zhao Chen'an lectured at the Pine Forest Dao Discussion Ground of the Shangluo Academy for over two months, refining his two previous new treatises," Hu Yang remarked. "Now he has both Jinglun and Theory of Law."

"I almost forgot he's the Holy Son of the Shangluo Academy," Zhang Tianxing laughed. "I think Zhao Xing has big ambitions."

Ling Tianchen nodded. "First there was the Great Circuit Treatise, and now there are Collected Commentaries on the Two Classics and the Yin Yang True Self Matter and Law Theory."

"His mastery of both the Time Law and the True Self Method is top-notch. His understanding of both the methods and the principles is impeccable. Liu Tianning has truly taken on a fine disciple."

"The dean once said he had lofty ambitions, but I never imagined they would be this big."

Ling Tianchen also saw through Zhao Xing's ambition.

If Zhao Xing only wanted to specialize in one faction, it would be easy for him to become a high-ranking member of either the Time Faction or the True Self Faction.

He is still young, and it is not impossible that one day he will become the leader of the Time Faction and ascend to the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture.

But attacking both factions is an attempt to seize power from both sides.

"It's not that easy." Ling Tianchen shook his head.

Not to mention anything else, there are five factions within the Xuan Mystic Heaven Academy alone.

His Transformation Institute also has three Ultimate Law, and it also has its own factions.

Given such a complex situation, how could Kaine possibly understand it so easily?

"However, he is still young and has the opportunity to try and make mistakes," Ling Tianchen said. "He will understand in the future that this path is not so simple."

At this time, Li Boqian had already returned to Tianyong Province, but Wang Tianzhi, the Lesser Agriculture Decree, Geng Shouchang, the Agricultural Director of Fudi, and the Director of the Imperial Household Department were still there.

Heng Yuan and Sima Yunhai are still here.

They all stayed in Dean Lu Chunhua's public housing.

They all looked at Zhao Xing's newly published Jinglun.

"This kid, really—" Geng Shouchang was speechless for a long time after reading it.

Plant all things to follow the Heavenly Timing, cultivate all things to take advantage of the Earthly Advantage Institute.

This is outrageous!

After this, won't the Shangluo Academy finally be able to lift up the serfs and sing praises?!

"With him doing this, I won't be able to order those True Self Faction Agricultural Official around when I return to the blessed land," Heng Yuan said with a smile.

"This is going to be a big argument," Geng Shouchang said.

"." Sima Yunhai casually tossed it aside, quite disdainful.

Wang Tianzhi looked at him. "Cloudsea, what are your thoughts?"

Sima Yunhai spread his hands and said, "Excellent Jinglun! But does that mean the people of the True Self Faction would be easier to command without this Jinglun?"

"It will remain the same as before."

Ultimately, it comes down to strength.

"Old Geng, when you and Heng Yuan ran into Meng Kun and his gang, wasn't it just a matter of who had the bigger fist going in to recruit them?"

Sima Yunhai said, "Xu Xing was capable of causing chaos back then, but the Grand Minister of Agriculture is still the Dean of our Mystic Heaven Academy."

Unlike Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan, who were making a fuss, Sima Yunhai believed that strength was the only true measure of success.

There's absolutely no need to worry about any impact now.

However, Wang Tianzhi is still very young and has a long-term vision.

"With such Jinglun, the Shangluo Academy will surely rise to prominence in the next hundred years," Wang Tianzhi a wry smile.

He was still thinking that after his Senior Brother left, he would serve as the Grand Minister of Agriculture for a few more terms.

Now things have turned out differently. Liu Tianning has taken over the Shangluo Academy, and Zhao Xing, the vanguard, has taken on seven opponents single-handedly, killing so many that no one dares to rebel.

With the publication of the Collected Commentaries on the Two Classics and the theory of True Self and Object Law Treatise, the Shangluo Academy's strength will expand significantly over the next century.

In his match against Liu Tianning, the gap in their advantages is likely to narrow significantly.

If it were someone else, they might be able to suppress it.

No matter how much Zhao Xing tried to suppress him, Zhao Xing still wrote "The Great Zhou Theory of the Three Yin, Three Yang, and Six Qi" first.

It was also used in this Theory of Law.

They're essentially fighting themselves, battling against themselves.

There were no profound insights from the other Classics Scholar of the Mystic Heaven Academy or the Kunyuan Academy.

It's as if they're telling everyone present that they're all trash.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of these subordinates, Wang Tianzhi took the documents back to his room and contacted his Senior Brother, Li Boqian.

"Only Heaven knows," Li Boqian said with a slight smile. "Getting impatient?"

"Senior Brother knows?" Wang Tianzhi was taken aback.

"Of course, the Shangluo Academy is also under my jurisdiction," Li Boqian said. "When this kid is lecturing..."

I even used a straw effigy to listen to its sound.

Although Li Boqian does not possess a top-level Dharma body, he does possess a high-level Dharma body.

For him, mastering the advanced stage of the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet was not difficult.

Whether it's the Grand Minister of Agriculture or the Lesser Agriculture Decree, who isn't involved in all three factions?

There's no such thing as learning only one thing; it's just a matter of prioritizing one over another.

Seeing that Wang Tianzhi remained silent, Li Boqian said, "Look at Tianchen, he's not in a hurry. He also aspires to the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture. In your current situation, you can't even handle Ling Tianchen, so what are you thinking about the future?"

Li Boqian was much older than Wang Tianzhi, and he had been the one to teach him most of the time. Now, he was speaking to Wang Tianzhi like an elder, "I think you've been promoted too quickly and have too much power over the years. You've become a bit restless and arrogant."

"Why not take a break, calm down, and resign from your position as Lesser Agriculture Decree? Go to the branch academy as dean and focus on studying legal principles."

"Liu Tianning was able to go into seclusion for a hundred years; his patience is much stronger than yours."

Wang Tianzhi said thoughtfully, "Alright, I'll listen to my Senior Brother. I'll submit my resignation to His Majesty this year and request to become the head of the branch academy."

"If I achieve nothing, I will never leave the mountain again!"

Li Boqian smiled slightly, "That's more like it! That's the spirit that your teacher valued back then!"

"The Shangluo Academy, led by Liu Tianning, still has many problems to solve, even if it's just a single Jinglun. We must understand the Heavenly Timing, and our hearts must be as broad as the sky."

"Senior Brother's words of advice are well-deserved, I will remember them." Wang Tianzhi respectfully cupped his hands.

Daoyuan Continent, Kunyuan Academy, Kun Mountain.

Gu Changqing hurriedly flew into the palace on Kun Mountain.

As soon as he entered, he roared:

"Dean Meng, Lord Meng, Old Meng!!"

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? What kind of behavior is this?" Meng Kun shouted.

"Look!" Gu Changqing tossed over a pile of copied scriptures.

"The Zhao’s Great Collection of Commentaries on Two Classics and the Yin Yang True Self Matter and Law Theory — this, this was written by Zhao Xing?" Meng Kun was startled.

"Yes, he wrote it at the Shangluo Academy," Gu Changqing said.

"Did you see it?" Meng Kun asked.

"I've seen it."

"How?"

"A masterpiece! It will be passed down through the ages!" Gu Changqing said. "My analysis, conducted by seven Classics Scholar, concludes that it will completely transform the current structure of the Shangluo Academy in the near future!"

"What? Let me see." Meng Kun immediately started browsing.

When Meng Kun started watching, he immediately started yelling.

"Okay, okay!"

"Well said!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Startled, Meng Kun began to meow like a cat.

Even after he finished reading it, he remained immersed in the Jinglun.

"Truly a classic!"

The relationship between the Earthly Advantage Faction and the True Self Faction is relatively close.

Therefore, Meng Kun was able to understand it quickly and grasp its deeper meaning.

Gu Changqing said, "Old Meng, do you know that once this Jinglun is published, the status of the True Self Faction will rise sharply in the next few decades!"

"Way of the True Self, and there will be more officials."

"How could I not know?" Meng Kun said with a resentful look. "His Jinglun even place the egoist True Self Faction above the advantages of Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage Institute!"

Although the Earthly Advantage Faction is close to the True Self Faction, and Meng Kun even has many friends from the Shangluo Academy.

But at this moment, his feelings were quite complicated.

They both fear their brothers suffering and fear their brothers flying Shenzhou.

"Where is he? Is he still at the Shangluo Academy?" Meng Kun gritted his teeth and said, "This kid can't be allowed to stay at the Shangluo Academy any longer. We need to quickly find a way to bring him to my Kunyuan Academy!"

"Old Gu, go write me a letter and scold him! Damn it, he hasn't even shown any sign of the Jinglun he promised me, and he's already produced another earth-shattering work for the Shangluo Academy."

At this moment, Meng Kun was like a resentful woman who had never been satisfied.

I'm so angry!

Why are there both the Time Faction" and the True Self Faction"? Why won't you write for the Kunyuan Academy?

Do you mean to look down on me, Old Meng?

"Our Kunyuan Academy is the first to take action! You should send a letter quickly, and make sure the wording is strong!"

"Okay!" Gu Changqing immediately turned around and started writing a letter.

"Wait!" Meng Kun suddenly called out to Gu Changqing again.

"What? Are you going to go to the Shangluo Academy and yell at me to my face? No way, Old Meng."

"You... you don't want to beat him up, do you? That's too much to ask," Gu Changqing said.

"Neither," Meng Kun said dejectedly. "Oh well, never mind."

"So, go write a letter saying that I am seriously ill and will soon pass away, and trick him into coming here."

Gu Changqing: " —Old Meng, you don't have to curse yourself like that."

Meng Kun said, "What's this? Don't just stand there, go on!"

"Well, alright," Gu Changqing muttered as he flew out of the palace.

However, their plans were destined to fail.

When Gu Changqing and Meng Kun contacted Zhao Xing, he had already arrived in Tianyong Province Prefecture.

"Whose message is this?" Heaven Derivation King asked from inside the flying boat.

"It was sent by Gu Changqing, Classics Scholar from the Kunyuan Academy." Zhao Xing's expression was somewhat strange.

"What did you say?" Heaven Derivation King asked.

"Dr. Gu said that Dean Meng is critically ill and asked me to go see him as soon as possible. He also specifically instructed me to go in person," Zhao Xing said.

"Hahaha, that little rascal Meng Kun." Heaven Derivation King couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Even a fool could see who he is."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel helpless.

It wasn't that he wanted to wrong Meng Kun; time was simply of the essence.

Moreover, the Earthly Advantage Faction itself is a pro-war faction, and he is very confident that he can retrieve the Divine Artifact from the Dragon Court Ancient Land, so he has no intention of studying the Earthly Advantage Faction's Jinglun immediately.
