Gu Chen Reads Supreme Sage of Confucianism! Founds Confucianism!

Seventeenth Chapter: Gu Chen Reads Supreme Sage of Confucianism! Founds Confucianism!

At this moment, Confucian Immortal Gu Chen thought of many things.

If Jiang Mu Ming truly proposed restoring the kingdom, what should he do?

This was neither Northern Que nor Southern Jue.

Much less Northern Li.

It was his own homeland—his former country, Western Chu!

Wasn't that why he had planted Western Chu's national tree, the Phoenix Tree, in his courtyard? Because he still thought of Western Chu in his heart?

Back then, the reason Ruxian and Jianxian had fought to the death beneath Luosang City,

breaking through nine thousand Po Feng Army soldiers' armor,

wasn't it because they cherished their homeland and couldn't bear to watch Western Chu's glory sink into oblivion?

But now, it was no longer fifteen years ago.

The world had already been unified. Although the common people could not necessarily be said to be living and working in peace, at least they enjoyed peaceful days.

If war once again spread across the world and the people suffered...

That was truly something Confucian Immortal Gu Chen did not wish to see.

Moreover, he had little of his strength left. Other than the Art of Medicine People, he could no longer play much of a role.

Otherwise, he would not have secluded himself here for fifteen years.

He had refused to concern himself with worldly affairs.

However... Ru Jian Guchen glanced at Yu Sheng Mo in the distance. She was clearly Southern Jue's First Sword Immortal, yet she had come here together with Jiang Mu Ming.

If he had her support,

and combined it with his Art of Medicine People, would they have a chance to fight?

Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's heart was exceedingly complicated.

His attachment to his former country, his pity for the common people, and his regret over Jiang Mu Ming's background

intertwined in his heart.

He had completely lost his former composure.

Fortunately,

Jiang Mu Ming suddenly spoke at this moment: "Restore the kingdom? I don't have many thoughts like that in my heart."

"My goal is Spreading the Way Across the World."

"To create a brand-new future for this world and this entire world!"

Western Chu was merely a thing of the past.

Jiang Mu Ming would not let himself remain trapped in those bygone affairs.

Instead, he had to possess ambitions of his own.

He had to have his own ideas!

"However..." Jiang Mu Ming suddenly became solemn and said, "If one day, peace no longer exists across the world,"

"and the common people can no longer live and work in peace,"

"then I also have a sword that can pacify the world and return all people to tranquility."

Confucian Immortal Gu Chen had never expected that Jiang Mu Ming, so young, could possess such a lofty state of mind.

He could let go of the hatred of a fallen country.

He had even established such a grand wish and ambition.

And just moments ago,

when Jiang Mu Ming had said, "I also have a sword," a sword intent had surged into the heavens behind him. Even the mist shrouding the courtyard had been dispersed in an instant.

It was as if the clouds had parted and the sun had appeared!

Although it had only been a fleeting glimpse, it had revealed Jiang Mu Ming's terrifying attainments in the sword path!

They were actually in no way inferior to his own!

But what level was he at? He was a Half-step Profound Spirit! If he burned his life and achieved complete sublimation, he would even enter the Profound Spirit Realm in an instant!

And how old was Jiang Mu Ming? He was only fifteen!

Back then, he had personally carried him out of Luosang City!

His age absolutely could not be faked!

Moreover, as someone who knew this secret history, Jiang Mu Ming's identity as the Western Chu Prince could not be faked either!

Because no one in the world knew that during the destruction of Western Chu,

another imperial survivor had been rescued.

Thinking of this, Confucian Immortal Gu Chen could not help asking curiously, "Mu Ming, what realm are you actually in now?"

He truly wanted to know.

What realm had the only surviving imperial bloodline of Western Chu now reached?

After being discovered in Tian Qi City,

would he have the strength to protect himself?

Facing Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's question, Jiang Mu Ming did not conceal anything.

He answered honestly: "On the way to Gan Dong City, my cultivation broke through to the Profound Spirit Realm."

"For now, I count as having just entered the Profound Spirit Realm."

But Jiang Mu Ming's calm words gave Confucian Immortal Gu Chen an enormous shock.

The Profound Spirit Realm!

That was a realm even Ruxian and Jianxian had failed to reach!

Could someone with such talent truly exist in this world?

Even Mo Yi, once hailed as the most monstrously talented person, had only broken through to the Profound Spirit Realm at the age of twenty-four.

How old was Jiang Mu Ming? Fifteen!

There truly was such a heaven-defying genius in the world!

No wonder Jiang Mu Ming had the confidence to say, "I have a sword that can bring peace to the world."

At such a realm, he could already be called an Immortal!

Given enough time, he would certainly surpass Li Changsheng of Jixia Academy and become the true Number One Under Heaven!

"He really is in the Profound Spirit Realm..."

When Jiang Mu Ming had waved his hand and parted the dense fog, breaking through Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's illusion,

he had already sensed that Jiang Mu Ming was unfathomable.

But even after truly hearing it, he still could not help being shaken...

"Mu Ming, I never expected that you had already reached such a realm." Confucian Immortal Gu Chen sighed. "It seems this dying man of mine can no longer help you with anything."

Although he relied on a mouthful of medicinal wine to sustain his life,

he had at most a few more years left to live.

"Dying? I don't think that's necessarily true."

Jiang Mu Ming suddenly spoke: "The reason I came here is, first, to help Confucian Immortal resolve an upcoming life-and-death crisis."

"Second, there is something I wish to give Confucian Immortal to read."

Confucian Immortal Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brows.

A life-and-death crisis?

He had secluded himself here. How could he face a life-and-death crisis?

But with Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's intelligence, he understood in the blink of an eye. He must have been exposed.

Many people were probably already on their way to take his life.

"Then let them come."

Confucian Immortal Gu Chen did not care about this. Instead, he was rather interested in what Jiang Mu Ming wanted him to see.

As they spoke,

Jiang Mu Ming handed over a book.

"Supreme Sage of Confucianism, Volume One?" Confucian Immortal Gu Chen was somewhat puzzled. Could this be the book Jiang Mu Ming wanted him to read?

The title was rather interesting, though.

When Confucian Immortal Gu Chen opened the book, a vast and boundless Confucian World unfolded before his eyes.

Talent Infusion, Words Manifest as Law, Righteous Qi...

This was a world where scholars could control the power of heaven and earth.

With talent qi within them, poetry, lyrics, essays, and prose all possessed tremendous might.

One poem could break an army of ten thousand.

One essay could pacify the world.

There were even Confucian Saints who could suppress the galaxy with a single word!

"This... Confucianism can actually possess such tremendous might?" Confucian Immortal Gu Chen suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.

Although he bore the name of Confucian Immortal,

compared to the might of Confucianism in the book, his meager cultivation truly amounted to nothing.

Moreover, he could sense it.

The world in this book was not false.

Because after he finished reading Supreme Sage of Confucianism, Volume One, he seemed to feel talent qi surging within his body!

It was a force entirely different from martial cultivation!

It was as if, so long as he followed the methods in the book, he could pour this talent qi forth.

Raise his brush and slay enemies.

Use poetry to pacify the nation!

This was an entirely new system of power! It would open up another completely new path beyond the martial cultivation of the current age!

And he had learned all of this from the book Jiang Mu Ming had handed him.

Could it be...

that this method of cultivating talent qi had been created by Jiang Mu Ming?

Otherwise, why would he be able to comprehend it from the book?

And just then,

a mighty wave of talent qi descended from above the Nine Heavens.

It fell straight down!
