To Water Flowers, Write Books and Expound Doctrines

As the thought crossed his mind, the Military School Order seemed to appear and disappear around Qiu Yan.

He reached out his left hand and grabbed something out of thin air. A spark of electricity suddenly flashed in his palm, pulsating incessantly, and he was actually held captive by a fleshy hand.

"Plunder, extermination, and skimming the feathers from passing geese! Such Order is not untenable in Great Rui. Many Order, stripped of their outward appearance, reveal the same underlying principles. However, the development of Human Path, even if not limited to academia and including many means of production, ultimately aims to enable ordinary people to survive through hard work and ensure the continuation of their lineage, rather than continuing to fight like wild beasts. Therefore..."

Whoosh!

The piece of paper on the table suddenly flew up, and the words on it floated up one by one, twisting and turning, emitting tiny hissing sounds, like poisonous insects that were about to devour someone!

On the other side, another stack of papers flew out of the desk drawer, the words on them flying out one after another, spinning in the air, and finally gathering in one place, forming an unpredictable spirit.

"By leveraging the unique characteristics of the Sealed Land and the influence of the four Profound Origin cultivators, the insights gained through contemplation can be condensed into a conceptual thought similar to the Sage Spirit."

Looking at that ever-changing spirit, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them. He made no other move, sorting out his thoughts and making final preparations for what he was about to do.

"In the Zhou Rao Continent, I introduced the Sage Spirit from the Eastern Radiance Continent, disrupting the Human Path Order there. However, although the Sage Spirit is unpredictable, it has no foundation in Zhou Rao. It can cause chaos, but it is not enough to change the fundamentals. It is like throwing a boulder into water; the ripples will eventually subside. At that time, the Divine Spirit Body will be surrounded by enemies."

"Through the connection of the Three Bodies, the outward appearance of Zhou Rao's Human Path Order can be imprinted on the paper of the Eastern Radiance Continent. Although it is only a superficial understanding, it embodies the concept of Human Path in the Continent. If it can be combined with a bit of the principles of Donghua, it will become controllable, and may even form a brand-new concept of Order. Then, releasing this concept that integrates the two continents back to Zhou Rao should not be rejected. It can be manipulated and the Order of that Continent can be grasped..."

"The first step is to collect a basic understanding of Zhou Rao's human nature, which has been completed. The next step is to compare and verify it with Donghua's order to create a prototype. We've also made some progress in this area. Zhou Rao's human nature is extremely domineering and selfish. If applied to an individual, it may seem narrow-minded, but if we broaden our perspective and apply it to the entire nation, the level becomes completely different."

As he pondered, Qiu Yan unfolded the shimmering light in his left hand and extended it forward.

"The art of Military School is inherently a matter of life and death, protecting the borders and ensuring the safety of the people. Taking from others to benefit oneself is in line with the principles of Zhou Rao, and I happen to be aligned with the Military School; perhaps this is destiny."

Thinking this way, the luster of Order had already merged with the spirit of change.

Call!

In an instant, a fierce wind arose, carrying with it chaotic thoughts. It rushed out of the Military Pavilion!

Outside the building, Hanlin officials slowly arrived, and the bailiffs prepared to leave. Old Zhang, who had lost money, looked sullen and occasionally looked up at the window of Qiu Yan's room with a hint of complaint on his face.

However, when he looked up again, he was suddenly stunned.

The window of the room suddenly swung open with a loud bang, and a gust of wind rushed out. Wisps of dark energy could be faintly seen mixed in with the wind, as if it were out of place with the surrounding world!

These wisps of energy were squeezed and rubbed together, gradually disappearing, as if they were being compressed and condensed into a single strand before being drawn back in.

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment or two, then realized what was happening, his face lit up with joy, and without caring about etiquette, he turned around and grabbed Old Li next to him.

"Old Li, give me my money back right now!"

"What are you saying?" Old Li was completely bewildered. Dragged by Old Zhang, he looked towards Qiu Yan's room, then his expression changed drastically, all color draining from his face. "Again?"

Leaving aside the various thoughts that arose in the minds of the two people because of this matter, let's talk about the officials who entered the Hanlin Academy. They were chatting and laughing, but after the "bang" sound, they all stopped, looked up, and had different expressions.

"This Qiu Yan really knows how to stir up trouble." In the crowd, Di Ai was surrounded by several people, most of whom were Jinshi who had passed the imperial examination half a year ago and served as Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. They were popularly known as the future prime minister.

These newly appointed scholars, after half a year of reflection, have become much more composed. They have lost the sharpness they had when they were studying and have developed a bit of an official air about them. Their eyes have become much more shrewd, and they will inevitably be corrupted by the big melting pot of officialdom in the future.

Some of these people were dissatisfied with Qiu Yan's management of the Military Pavilion. Managing the Book Repository seemed simple, but it represented status and identity. Moreover, it was an order personally given by the emperor, which showed his favor towards Qiu Yan. Naturally, it aroused jealousy. However, while officials might be hostile, no one would easily show their emotions on their faces.

Therefore, no one else echoed Di Ai's complaint.

In addition, many Hanlin officials were on good terms with Qiu Yan, hoping to get close to the emperor through this connection, thereby gaining the emperor's favor and rising rapidly in rank. Therefore, they would also give Di Ai a hostile look.

The intricacies involved are complex and multifaceted, and cannot be summarized in just a few words.

However, Meng Sanyi, who was in the corner, saw all these incidents. He sneered inwardly, feeling happy for Qiu Yan while also being wary of Di Ai.

"The sir has exhibited another unusual phenomenon, which is a good thing. However, it will inevitably attract the jealousy of petty people, so I need to be careful just in case."

Not long after, Han Bian and Yang She arrived one after another. They also saw the strange phenomenon, but did not show much unusualness. However, a cold glint flashed in Yang She's eyes.

The strange phenomenon in the window lasted for about half a cup of tea's time before disappearing without anyone disturbing it. Inside the room, Qiu Yan frowned, staring silently at the colorful ball of light in his hand, quietly comprehending its meaning.

Within the sphere of light, one could vaguely see numerous figures engaged in battle. Some wielded swords, others wore armor, resembling soldiers and generals, while still others soared through the clouds and traversed the earth, clearly cultivators.

After the initial fight, a fierce struggle ensued, with each side refusing to yield, creating utter chaos. The sphere itself twisted, bulged, and caved in, as if it would collapse if Qiu Yan let go!

The Order that Qiu Yan had been chanting slowly withdrew from the sphere of light, making the sphere of light increasingly unstable.

"Combining the concepts of the two Continent is indeed not as simple as it seems. If it is not unified and sorted out in some way, the final result may be that they conflict with each other, are difficult to maintain, and ultimately fail. This is something I did not expect. However, the method of sorting out..."

As he pondered, he looked around at the bookshelves and an idea came to him.

"I forgot that we already have readily available resources, and besides, it's time to solidify our People's Prestige."

"In the past six months, news of my discussions with Master of Nine-Rhyme Studio has spread, and the People's Prestige gathered by my Fleshly Body has grown increasingly strong. Although it can be converted into divine power to repair the sacrificial foundation damaged by the Star Lord, its best use is still to perfect Human Path. The rudiments of the Humanistic Divine Path are becoming clearer and should be strengthened. In addition..."

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Yan's mind shifted, and a masculine aura emerged in his Divine Soul. Four bookshelves materialized. The Classics-History-Philosophers Section Bookshelf remained the same, but the Anthologies Section Bookshelf had changed. In addition to various miscellaneous studies, the mountain gates of two sects were faintly visible.

"Now that we've mastered the skills of Yu Xu and Golden Crow, it's time to take it a step further. The knowledge and techniques that Wang Yifu and the Golden Crow Elders and his group, received from me have been passed down in their respective sects, and many people have incorporated them into their Cultivation Method. However, these are just seeds; to blossom and bear fruit, they need watering and fertilizing. But due to my status and Karma, I cannot go there in person. Instead, I can let them nurture these seeds themselves by writing books..."

Wang Yifu, the Seven Sons of the Void-Driving Dao, and the Golden Crow Elders of Golden Crow Dao were all captured by Qiu Yan. However, Qiu Yan did not exterminate them. Instead, he did the opposite, keeping them by his side and teaching them some principles and knowledge. In the end, he even passed on tips and theories that could improve efficiency.

In the eyes of Wang Yifu and others, this behavior was very childish, and they even ridiculed it. They would not really appreciate it. If they encountered someone with ulterior motives, they would only become more reckless. They thought that Qiu Yan would not kill them, so they became even more unscrupulous. If Qiu Yan had not stayed in the capital for the past six months, the two sects would probably have already taken action.

However, they did not know that what Qiu Yan sought was not personal gain or loss, but rather to plan for the overall situation and establish a completely new Order!

Killing is easy, but it only solves the immediate problem and has long-term consequences for both the perpetrator and the victim. It not only creates enmity but also consumes energy and time, hindering Qiu Yan's exploration of the Humanistic Divine Path and offering no benefit to future development.

Since they are both enemies and can be controlled, of course we should extract their value and eliminate any future troubles without bloodshed, letting them die and only satisfying our momentary pleasure.

Although Qiu Yan's insights are academic methods, worldly matters often lead to the same goal and can also be applied to Cultivation Method, similar to formulas and skills, to improve the efficiency of cultivation. However, these are merely seeds and cannot profoundly influence others, so they still need to be nurtured.

"Zhou Rao and Donghua have different development paths and different main bodies of Human Path Order, but they are similar in terms of cultivators. Both seek external ways to cultivate themselves, but Zhou Rao acts more directly. From this perspective, the thoughts of Donghua may also be a breakthrough. If we want to sort out this concept of the two continents, quell the future troubles of Zhou Rao, or even intervene in it, we might as well take a two-pronged approach..."

Thinking this, Qiu Yan walked to the rows of bookshelves and looked at the books on them.

These books, judging from their labels and titles, are all related to Military School. Qiu Yan could sense a hint of Sand Battlefield atmosphere in them.

With a quick glance, Qiu Yan didn't linger and pulled a book out from the corner.

The cover of this book is completely blank. When you place it on the table and open it, you'll find it's just an ordinary, blank book.

But as Qiu Yan dipped his pen in ink and injected the colorful conceptual light sphere into the pen, writing the words "The Essentials" on the cover, the book immediately exuded a chaotic aura, trembling incessantly, as if it were brewing a spirit!

"The Essentials" means to summarize, generalize, or summarize the essentials.

As soon as the two words were uttered, the Military School Order that Qiu Yan had recited together trembled slightly before calming down.

Following Qiu Yan's silent reading, the colorful concepts in the pen were inhaled through breath, sinking into the heart, brewing and nurturing, gradually becoming smooth and refined.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Qiu Yan put down his pen, turned around, and called the person into the room. A young man's voice came from inside.

"Teacher, Uncle Zhou sent someone to the house, saying that Hu people from the north have come and want to see you!" (To be continued...)
