Now things had become serious.
"Could Righteous Qi Continent truly have joined forces with Earthly Immortal Continent to exterminate our Puppet Dao?"
Recalling the events that had unfolded one after another in recent years, Elder He and the other senior figures privy to the situation all wore grave expressions.
What concerned them was not this Grand Confucian from Righteous Qi Continent himself, but what his status represented.
A Grand Confucian of Righteous Qi Continent ranked alongside a Grandmaster Artisan-someone who had cultivated to a certain realm and wielded tremendous influence there.
His appearance also signified Righteous Qi Continent's entry into the war. Now that he had joined forces with a White Bone Gate Disciple from Earthly Immortal Continent, this was far more than two Nascent Soul experts making a move, as it might appear on the surface.
Although this was hardly unexpected, only when it actually happened did everyone realize how much courage it took to truly accept it.
"The Confucian Dao flourishes on Righteous Qi Continent. Its cultivators pursue cultivation through literature, opening Literary Palaces, tempering Literary Galls, cultivating literary qi, and attaining sagehood through their talent!"
"Everyone says that with talent within them, their poetry, lyrics, songs, and rhapsodies all become power, while the principles in their writings reach into the laws themselves. It is a Dao Path where waging war on paper and speaking polished verses can both manifest as Divine Abilities."
"Since late antiquity, this Dao Path has enjoyed greater prominence than ancient paths such as the Spell Dao and Sword Dao. At one point, it even eclipsed the Martial Dao, becoming the true mainstream of Righteous Qi Continent."
"Among Righteous Qi Continent's Confucian scholars, Tongsheng and licentiates rank alongside Qi Refining cultivators, provincial graduates alongside Foundation Establishment cultivators, and metropolitan graduates alongside Core Formation cultivators.
