All May Enter My Path!

"The Hundred Schools Aura schools of thought, behind which lies a Grand Confucian or Grandmaster. Qiu Yan has indeed achieved mastery of the classics, but fighting them one by one will take several days for most of them. During this time, it is a good opportunity for us to observe!"

The Doctrine Battlefield shone brightly.

Several accompanying consciousnesses probed the light and communicated with each other, including He Shuchang.

They were drawn to the scene by their respective teachers, watching this unprecedented debate!

"That's right," Zhen Zhizuo's consciousness also expressed its agreement, "It's because Qiu Yan has been too popular lately and is in the eye of the storm, but his theory has not yet truly spread to the world, which is why this situation has arisen."

Both were top students of the Principle Sect Academy, and their attitudes toward Qiu Yan differed, but they were of one mind regarding the academy's own position and both saw through the essence of this debate.

Just then, another voice came from the side—

"By using a method of repeated attacks, we can get Qiu Yan to demonstrate as much of his own doctrine as possible. Not only can we glean some truth from it, but even our teachers, senior brothers, and other Grand Confucian can benefit from it and grasp the essence of Qiu Yan's doctrine. Those who find it good can join their own school of thought, and we can share in the spoils before Qiu Yan's doctrine is even published..."

The speaker was Gao Song from the Ritual Reverence Academy, who had solidified his Literary Heart over the past year. His words carried a strong sense of irony.

"Such methods are hardly honorable; they stifle a school of thought that was about to lead the trend, and completely strip away its essence..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.

This time, it was An Jin from the Nine Abyss Academy who spoke, "Gao Song, I know that you have held Qiu Yan in high esteem ever since that game of chess. However, when it comes to the inheritance of a school of thought, personal feelings cannot be mixed in. Qiu Yan has created such a huge wave in the Void, which shows how far his influence on Human Path is. If he leads the wave and his doctrines become the dominant school of thought, the long-standing tradition of our academy will inevitably decline!"

In An Jin's mind, the death of her fellow disciple Xi Muyuan was unrelated to Qiu Yan, so she spoke without holding back any sentimentality.

"The disputes over the survival of doctrines are more brutal than the wars that cause the rise and fall of dynasties. You should understand this." He Shuchang's voice also came over, with a hint of coldness in his words. "What virtue or ability does Qiu Yan have? He only relies on his title of top scholar, the emperor's favor, and the power of the Military School strategist to think that his doctrine can become a prominent school of thought and lead the trend?"

"You always have a point..." Gao Song's words were still full of sarcasm, followed by the smell of sulfur and other odors, and then a series of explosions!

Following the smell and sound, the group focused their attention on the object. What they saw was Qiu Yan projecting words that combined to form descriptive sentences. These sentences then transformed into various things, all of which became blurry and indistinct.

At this moment, the Hundred Schools Aura also pressed in front of Qiu Yan, unleashing various concepts to verify with Qiu Yan!

"Verification?" A glint flashed in Qiu Yan's illusory eyes. "Very well, with the Hundred Schools coming, it will save me a lot of trouble..." As soon as he finished speaking, with a thought, the Human Path Order roared out, and with the blessing of the Humanistic Divine Path, the Divine Path was actually rejected by the Human Path!

In the Northern Frontier Great Rui, students who have developed Humanistic Network through the Humanistic Divine Path feel dazed at this moment, as if a single thought in their mind has been borrowed.

Instantly, the convergence of Literary Thought on the Doctrine Battlefield caused Qiu Yan's projection to suddenly expand, revealing a series of blurry figures behind him, like shadows, their faces indistinct, scattered throughout the Void waves, like knots connected by invisible threads, forming a huge net!

Then, Qiu Yan, surrounded by layers upon layers of Hundred Schools Aura, revealed a smile.

"Since you're here, let's not talk about a war of attrition. Let me, Qiu, demonstrate my doctrines to you all. Why not all join my path and perfect my Way of Knowledge and Action? You can all benefit from it! What you all seek is ultimately for the sake of the world. Why not join forces to do it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of energy surged through the Void, and the giant net rose up, covering the Hundred Schools Aura!

"What is he trying to do? Instead of verifying each case one by one, is he trying to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"

At this moment, Qi Jiulian, He Shuchang, Gao Song, and others who were observing from afar all expressed their doubts.

However, some people noticed something amiss.

"Qiu Yan is trying to absorb the essence of many schools of thought into his own doctrine and forcibly perfect his own doctrine!" Zhen Zhizuo's voice rang out.

An Jin added, "Qiu Yan's theories are no longer a simple prototype, but in some aspects they are still just a framework. To perfect them, it will take a lot of time and effort. However, he uses that framework as a net to Hundred Schools Aura of his teachers and others, and to make it his own!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, stunned by Qiu Yan's ambition!

"Arrogant!"

Soon, He Shuchang He's voice rang out—

"Even if he has created two classic works, what does that prove? The two Mr. Chens have also created classic works, and in that respect alone, they are no less than him! Moreover, there are many Grand Confucian and Grandmaster, each of whom can be said to have a clear vision. Even if they have not created classic works, they have complete schools of thought supporting them. Qiu Yan might not be able to win even if he were to verify their ideas one-on-one. How dare he think he can sweep away the Hundred Schools Aura of thought present here? He is simply ignorant of his own limitations!"

His words were full of disdain for Qiu Yan.

Hearing his words, even Gao Song, who greatly admired Qiu Yan, did not refute him, because Qiu Yan's actions were shocking and, in everyone's eyes, there was no chance of success!

Just as He Shuchang said, among the Hundred Schools Aura of these Grand Confucian and Grandmaster, some have a single ring and some have two rings. They may not seem as high as Qiu Yan in terms of personal achievements, but they all have the academy lineage. When they mobilize the academy doctrines that have been passed down for many years, they may not be much worse than Qiu Yan's still-developing Way of Knowledge and Action.

In this situation, the idea of one person simultaneously absorbing the Hundred Schools Aura of thought is nothing short of a pipe dream!

"One person's strength is naturally not enough..."

At the forefront of the wave, Qiu Yan's mind was surging with excitement, igniting the doctrines, thoughts, and Sage Spirit in his consciousness. He used the Humanistic Divine Path to connect the thoughts of many students, transforming it into a large net that enveloped the Hundred Schools Aura of thought. Then, it would shrink back to capture them all!

The next moment, all the Hundred Schools Aura of thought trembled, their doctrines and wills shook, and various concepts rapidly changed, evolving into the essence of doctrines. Like a mountain collapsing and the earth sinking, it burst forth with unparalleled power, about to break the entire net!

"With my own strength, plus the seeds of a newly established school, I cannot gather the Hundred Schools Aura, but..." Qiu Yan's thoughts stirred, and the projection in the Doctrine Battlefield suddenly trembled, turned into powder, and merged into the net.

Immediately afterward, the aura of Humanistic Divine Path within the giant net surged dramatically!

Stove Mountain, the summit.

With a set of rewards and punishments, the entire Min Yuan Divine Office resumed normal operations, and the entire Jiannan Circuit was projected onto the Stove Mountain, which had become the rear base of Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body.

The Divine Spirit Body sits atop the peak.

Now, with the change of thought, the Divine Body trembled, and the outline of the entire Jiannan Circuit in that Divine Power Space suddenly shook, bursting out with surging divine power, which poured in the talismans, flowing rapidly within them, transforming into mysterious and unpredictable Humanistic Divine Power, and then sinking into the Divine Pool and passing through the cave!

The next moment, on the Doctrine Battlefield, the power of the giant net surged, originating from the profound mountains and rivers of Jiannan and the faith of the people. It was incorporated into the net and guided by Qiu Yan's will, transforming into the state of the nation and the heart of the people, and pressed forward with the momentum!

The Hundred Schools of thought all sought to govern the people and bring peace to the world. However, once the nation and its people were united, the will of these schools of thought was drawn together, and their power was dispersed. Although their aura remained, the power they unleashed was inevitably weakened, making it difficult to break through the net again!

However, the net is still not enough to completely absorb the Hundred Schools Aura!

However, this change greatly surprised Zhen Zhizuo and the others who were watching the battle.

In their view, Qiu Yan's attempt to fight against Hundred Schools alone would inevitably result in him being crushed and unable to last even a moment.

As they had anticipated, the giant net, despite being surrounded by numerous halos, had been unable to achieve anything and was about to be broken through. However, now, it had unexpectedly reached a stalemate!

A stalemate can only be achieved when the forces are evenly matched!

They never even dared to imagine a situation where one person could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Hundred Schools Aura.

"This... could it be that the teacher intends for Qiu Yan to showcase some of his own theories?" He Shuchang asked with some doubt.

What he received, however, was Zhen Zhizuo's resolute answer.

"That's impossible!"

"Indeed," An Jin nodded. "The gentlemen use their minds to control the Hundred Schools Aura schools of thought and evolve their doctrines and concepts. This is different from face-to-face discussions. It is the aggregation of the latent consciousness of all disciples and followers Historical River, evolving the true essence. The consciousness of the gentlemen will immediately merge into it, transforming into the Supreme Heart, no longer possessing human relationships or worldly concerns, becoming the pure embodiment of the doctrine. Their actions are solely for the sake of the doctrine, without any other selfish thoughts!"

"So that means..." Gao Song's heart surged with emotion upon hearing this, "Qiu Yan really withstood the onslaught of the Hundred Schools Aura, single-handedly maintaining the stalemate!"

"There must be some other methods involved," He Shuchang's voice still held a hint of resentment, "I don't know if it was just my imagination, but just now, I sensed a trace of Divine Path energy. My study of the method of Self-Reflection Investigation of Things has made my senses extremely sharp, allowing me to observe subtle changes in things..."

"The Divine Path?" Gao Song replied, "This is a battlefield for Grand Confucian and Grandmaster to discuss the Dao. The Hundred Schools Aura of Thought is a manifestation of Order. When Human Path is strong, what Divine Path will not be suppressed? Don't even mention the Divine Path; even Divine Ability will be suppressed as soon as they show themselves!"

"Even so, Qiu Yan can only remain in a stalemate. It's wishful thinking to take any further steps. In the long run, it will be difficult to continue..." He Shuchang was about to say more, but the next moment, he felt as if a shadow had fallen over his heart!
