Did You Know How Awesome I Was in Every Way?

Although this scholar had an ordinary appearance, he exuded the air of a master when he sat there. However, the moment he opened his mouth, all that mastery vanished.

When Song Shuhang faced this 'Sage' scholar, he had a strong sense of déjà vu... He always felt the same way when he met the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.

Before meeting him, or when they first met, his seniors always portrayed him as someone incredibly impressive and sophisticated. But once they met in person, that image was completely shattered.

At this moment, the 'Sage' Confucian scholar continued to recount the extraordinary phenomena that occurred at his birth—purple aura came from the east, covering the heavens and the earth, followed by thunder and lightning, then light filled the room where he was born, and two dragons danced in his room.

In short, it's incredibly awesome. To sum it up in one sentence: [I was incredibly awesome at birth, do you know that?]

Song Shuhang, Venerable White, True Lord Dustfall, and Drunken Hermit all involuntarily looked towards True Lord Eternal Fire on the side.

Is this the legendary Confucian Sage? The one who, according to legend, could be the teacher of the world, whose teaching Pacify All Under Heaven were unparalleled, who single-handedly trained Confucian School’s Thirteen Tribulation Immortals, and who founded the Confucian School Sage?

Upon hearing this, True Lord Eternal Fire knelt down respectfully. "Eternal Fire greets the Sage."

That's right, this is the Confucian School Sage, exactly the same as the 'Sage' recorded in [White Cloud Academy]. Moreover, this is how it was recorded when the Sage was born.

According to Confucian School secret texts, a 'Sage' once contended with a mysterious being for the Heavenly Dao, but ultimately lost due to inferior skill and vanished without a trace. Could it be that the Sage has been residing in this small space all along?

The eyes of Venerable White and the others twitched—he really is Sage!

Before him, the ordinary-looking Confucian scholar still ignored True Lord Eternal Fire and continued, "In my childhood, I was loved by all my relatives, friends, and neighbors. By the age of three, I had already read hundreds of books. By the time I was five, all the thousands of books in the world were in my heart. That year, I thought I had mastered all the knowledge in the world!"

In short, I was incredibly arrogant. To sum it up in one sentence. "[I was quite arrogant when I was young, did you know that?]"

The 'Sage' scholar paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky and said, "Until I was six years old, I met a ＠＃％×Fairy who was both a teacher and a friend. She was a being brighter than the moon in the sky, with long blue hair that reached her calves and cascaded down her back, and equally long and thick blue eyelashes. She appeared beside me and led me to a completely new world, to experience new and unique knowledge. That was the world of 'cultivators.' Only then did I realize that I had previously been like a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world—looking back, those years are truly memorable."

At this point, the Sage fell into reminiscence and fell silent.

The description of the 'Sage' Confucian scholar is very brief, and the description of the ＠＃％×Fairy who is both a teacher and a friend is only two short sentences.

However, the words of the 'Sage' Confucian scholar seemed to carry a strange power. As soon as he spoke, everyone could instinctively understand the meaning of his words and comprehend the scene he described—in fact, the 'Sage' Confucian scholar spoke in 'Ancient Language', but Song Shuhang could understand it perfectly.

As the Sage introduced her, the image of ＠＃％×Fairy "long blue hair reaching her calves, thick and long blue eyelashes, brighter than the moon in the sky" vividly appeared in the minds of Song Shuhang and the others.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang opened his mouth and exclaimed in surprise. The image of this ＠＃％×Fairy —wasn't it the blue-haired female cultivator who was 'suspected to be the Copper Trigram Immortal Master '?

It was the 'blue-haired female cultivator' who gave him a divination at the Venerable White's Vacation Manor. At the time, she said that she would have good luck soon. Song Shuhang felt that she was the 'Copper Trigram Immortal Master' in disguise, and he had to interpret her divination in reverse, so he was very worried. These past two days, he had been in a state of extreme caution, afraid that he might be tormented to death by 'good luck' if he was not careful.

Not only Song Shuhang, True Lord Dustfall and Drunken Hermit exchanged a glance, their eyes also showing surprise.

"What's wrong?" Venerable White asked curiously.

Song Shuhang replied, "I saw this '＠＃％×Fairy' not long ago, and I suspected she was Senior Copper Trigram in disguise. Because as soon as we met, she performed several divinations for me. I felt that the hexagrams should be interpreted in reverse."

But now, he was somewhat unsure whether the 'blue-haired female cultivator' at the time was Copper Trigram Immortal Master who practiced Black Divination. If the blue-haired female cultivator wasn't Copper Trigram Immortal Master... then wouldn't Su Clan’s Sixteen and Soft Feather's Third-Grade Heavenly Tribulation be in grave danger?

"Fortune telling?" True Lord Dustfall's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Young friend Shuhang, you can rest assured. As far as I know, this senior does not know fortune telling... You have undoubtedly encountered Fellow Copper Trigram Gua in disguise!"

The Drunken Hermit nodded in agreement.

Song Shuhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "So, is the prototype of this blue-haired female senior a senior from our 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'?"

The Drunken Hermit nodded and said, "That's right... Her prototype is Fellow Daoist Skylark of the Mysterious Maiden Sect in our 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'."

That's the senior who utterly Mad Saber Three Waves.

"Yun Skylark of the Mysterious Maiden Sect Xuan Nu Sect?" At this moment, Venerable White frowned. "But I remember, Fellow Daoist Skylark doesn't have blue hair, she clearly has long black hair."

True Lord Dustfall said, "Senior White, you must be mistaken. Fellow Skylark Quezi has always had long blue hair. Her long hair is very distinctive; I have a deep impression of it."

"Me too," the Drunken Hermit chimed in.

Venerable White scratched his face. "Could it be that I really remembered wrong? Strange."

True Lord Eternal Fire, standing to the side, did not interrupt, but listened silently. When he heard that the ＠＃％×Fairy was both a teacher and a friend to the 'Sage' was still alive, his eyes widened.

Perhaps he should try to get in touch with that 'Mysterious Maiden Sect Skylark' if he gets the chance!

While he was pondering, the 'Sage' scholar continued his narration, "After I came into contact with the world of cultivators, under the guidance of that ＠＃％×Fairy who was both my teacher and friend, I began the 'Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment' training, Body Tempering and cultivating. My cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. In just half a month, I had already completed the cultivation of all the major acupoints, attempted to break through the Dragon Gate, and advanced to the Second-Grade in one fell swoop!"

In just half a month, he went from an ordinary person to Second-Grade official; that's incredibly impressive.

"Amazing!" Song Shuhang. He felt very lucky, especially after meeting Venerable White, who brought him all sorts of opportunities. However, it still took him a month and a half to advance to the Second-Grade.

Then, the 'Sage' scholar continued, "After that, my cultivation speed became faster and faster, unstoppable. In just one year, I had already advanced to the Third-Grade Realm! I achieved in just over a year what others take ten or twenty years to reach!"

--[When I was cultivating, I was incredibly powerful, did you all know that?]

"Impressive." True Lord Dustfall was completely convinced.

"Truly worthy of being called Sage." The Drunken Hermit also exclaimed. Even in Ancient Era, when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was much more abundant, this 'Sage's' cultivation speed was still incredibly fast.

This time... Song Shuhang dared not speak again; he quietly shrank back.

This Sage, who was "arrogant, cool, domineering, and awesome" from birth to childhood and then to entering the realm of cultivation, took more than a year to advance to the Third-Grade Realm.

And him... counting the time he spent in the 'Jadewater Pavilion' Time City, it seems it hasn't even been four months yet? His current cultivation level is already at the Initial Third-Grade.

It's best not to mention such things. However, he's different from this 'Sage'; his rapid advancement in cultivation was due to the 'Power-Transference Great Art' from the Glazed Scholar appearance. If he were to cultivate on his own, it would definitely take more than a year... probably?

At this moment, the 'Sage' Confucian scholar continued, "When I stepped into the Third-Grade Realm, a thought arose in my mind. I no longer continued to cultivate according to the original method. I believed that I should forge my own path, a unique path of cultivation. In my youth, I read extensively, and I have a unique understanding of knowledge. Thus, I began to ponder and to experiment."

"Ten years later, I am still only at the Third-Grade Realm... but I have researched and created the prototype of my own 'Dao'. Dao Initiation the Dao through literature, Body Refinement with Righteous Qi, bind myself with truth, and write the ultimate principles of heaven and earth with my pen!"

"And so... many years later, when I looked back, I was one of the most powerful beings in the world. I founded the 'Confucian Dao' lineage, and had Thirteen-Tribulation Immortal under my command. Then, some years later, my cultivation became even more profound—no one in the world could rival me anymore. From that year on, I roamed the world, dominating an era!"

--[When my divine skills are fully mastered, I'll be absolutely awesome, do you all know that?]

The period described by the Sage is the most glorious era of Confucian School. During that time, Sage was invincible, had Thirteen-Tribulation Immortal, and Confucian School disciples were found all over the world!

Even for cultivators from other schools, that period was the most 'peaceful' time. Confucian School disciples Body Tempering with Righteous Qi and bound themselves with truth.

During the glorious period of the Confucian Sect, all evil spirits vanished without a trace, and even the disciples of the Demonic Sect tried their best to restrain their past arrogance.

Otherwise, if you offend Righteous Qi Confucian School disciple, you're sure to suffer the consequences.

Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang, Venerable White, True Lord Dustfall, Layman Xing*, and True Lord Eternal Fire all perked up and listened attentively to what the 'Sage' was about to say.

As everyone knows, the main content begins here.

Next, we'll discuss why Confucian School was destroyed and other related secrets.

After finishing this passage, the 'Sage' Confucian scholar paused, then continued, "Later... a problem arose with the 'Heavenly Dao'."

The term "Heavenly Dao Way" represents ultimate truth, origin, essence, law, principle, realm, and so on. It refers to the rules and principles of all things—and has a close and inseparable relationship with cultivation.

Is there a problem with the Heavenly Dao?
