" Confucian School!"
Back in his courtyard, Wang Hao took a shower, bandaged his wounds, and lay down in the courtyard, sighing dejectedly.
In normal history, Confucian School has occupied an absolute dominant position in the transmission of Huaxia. After all, Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty was not joking when he said that he would "dismiss all other schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".
Almost all officials in the imperial court were Confucian School scholars; it can be said that the feudal history of Huaxia is a chronicle of Confucian School.
Of course, Confucian School was quite good in the Legend of Qin, and it was quite orthodox even in the Han Dynasty. However, it went astray afterward and became a major obstacle to the development and growth of the Huaxia nation.
It's important to understand that during the Sengoku and Warring States periods, when a hundred schools of thought contended, Huaxia civilization stood at the pinnacle of the world, even more developed and sophisticated than Western doctrines, as evidenced in all aspects.
If things had continued as they were, China should have quickly reached the stage of the First Industrial Revolution, and then developed at an even faster pace, allowing Huaxia to truly stand at the top of the world.
However, Dong Zhongshu emerged halfway through, pushing Confucian School to its peak. While this brought considerable benefits, the hidden dangers were even more terrifying.
As a result, for more than two thousand years, Huaxia civilization has been trapped in a vicious cycle, with almost no significant development.
For example, gunpowder, one of the Four Great Inventions, was invented in Huaxia from the Sengoku to the early Han Dynasty, but it was not used to form a fighting force for more than a thousand years. Otherwise, how could the northern nomadic tribes have threatened Huaxia for more than two thousand years?
While it's a stretch to pin the blame on Confucian School, they do bear some responsibility in this regard.
All other schools of thought were suppressed, leading to the cessation of their transmission. No one continued to research and develop these areas, and the Confucian School regarded them as strange and frivolous skills and rejected them, which naturally led to their downfall.
Moreover, the very existence of Confucian School itself has significant problems; otherwise, would the saying "Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use martial arts to break the law" be meaningless?
In this martial arts world, the power of Confucian School is even more exaggerated and terrifying, enough to make the imperial court extremely wary.
Of course, this only indicates a problem with the existence of Confucian School, not that Confucianism itself is bad; there is a difference between the two.
Confucian School has developed into a tightly knit class, representing the interests of that First Tier, and Confucianism itself has become a pure form of scholarship.
Knowledge itself is not wrong; the mistake lies only in the person learning it!
"It seems we're destined to clash with Confucian School from now on!"
With a sigh, Wang Hao's expression suddenly hardened.
It was inevitable that he would clash with Confucian School, since one of his main tasks was to become the Dao Ancestor of this world, which was not simply a matter of creating a Body Refinement.
Creating a new school of thought is a must, and the most basic requirement. After that, there may even be more exaggerated practices.
The Confucian School will certainly not allow it to grow, so a confrontation with the Confucian School school is inevitable.
Although he didn't need to consider these things for the time being, it made him understand the direction of the future and who his friends and enemies were.
"Forget about that for now, let's think about how to lay a perfect foundation for that girl, Dongfang Bai!"
Shaking his head, Wang Hao suppressed his chaotic thoughts and began to think about how to nurture Dongfang Bai.
It was fine if we didn't know before, but now that we know these secrets of the cultivation world, we must guide Dongfang Bai onto the path of the Qi Refinement of the pre-Qin era. Only in this way will it be more likely for her to break through the limits of this world and reach the Mortal Realm Fourth Layer realm.
"It shouldn't be difficult for that girl to obtain suitable external martial arts techniques. Now it seems that the only thing we need to do is Awakening her Bloodline Power so that she can quickly master the external martial arts."
After a moment's thought, Wang Hao came up with a general idea. Simply put, he would use himself as a reference and make modifications to suit Dongfang Bai's physical condition. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to get that girl onto the path of a Qi Refinement from the pre-Qin period.
"However, we first need to find a way to completely destroy that girl's internal energy, or integrate it into our own. Moreover, if we want to Awakening Bloodline Power or even Bloodline Divine Ability, our external martial arts cultivation must at least reach the Peak First-Rate."
Although Wang Hao deduced a secret method at Drunken Immortal Tower that day by relying on his Dao Comprehension Function to fuse with the blood of ferocious beasts and thus unlock his own Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability, that secret method also had very high requirements.
Either one cultivates from a young age, honing the secret techniques for ten or eight years until the body fully adapts, and then fuses with beast blood to Awakening the Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability.
Alternatively, one can forcefully withstand the damage with a powerful body, which will cause considerable injury, but as long as the Bloodline Power Awakening, it can be quickly repaired.
The method Wang Hao used to Awakening was a combination of two approaches. After all, he had inherited this experience from his previous life in the Primordial World world, and he had created that secret technique himself, so he was extremely familiar with it.
In addition, his body was exceptionally gifted, and he had cultivated the Iron Cloth Shirt. The combination of these two factors, along with the assistance of his Dao Comprehension Function, allowed him to Awakening his Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability.
This is a special case and not universally applicable, so only one of the two methods can be chosen.
Using the first method, Dongfang Bai might not be willing to wait for ten or eight years, while using the second method would require raising one's external martial arts skills to the Peak First-Rate.
Only in this way can one survive the Awakening process and avoid dying prematurely before the Bloodline Power Awakening repair the damage.
So we need to think of a solution!
After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao picked up the Little Erha, who was whimpering and unable to move again, and took a jar of Drunken Immortal Brew from Chef Li before heading to the Martial Repository Pavilion.
For such a difficult problem, one would naturally need to consult with the esteemed Elder Chu.
"You want a martial art that allows you to return internal energy to your physical body?"
Elder Chu looked at Wang Hao, who had arrived again, with surprise. He liked the jar of local specialties that the young man had brought, but he was puzzled by the young man's request this time.
"Yes, it's a technique that can return internal energy to the physical body, preferably one that can also temper the body."
Wang Hao nodded and stated his requirements.
"Did that old bastard Zhao Fengxue tell you?"
With a sudden thought, Elder Chu stood up solemnly, closed all the doors and windows of the Martial Repository Pavilion with a wave of his sleeve, and then asked.
"This junior would like to give it a try!"
Wang Hao did not give a direct response, but he did offer his own answer.
"You know that embarking on this path will inevitably make you an enemy of the entire world, and the consequences will be unimaginable. It's not too late to regret it now!"
Elder Chu asked again in a deep voice, his old eyes flashing with sharp light as he looked at Wang Hao, even using his own Sword Intent to pressure Wang Hao, which was quite questioning.
"This junior would like to give it a try!"
Wang Hao gave the same answer, staring directly at Elder Chu without flinching, clearly showing his unwavering resolve.
"Very well, I'll grant your wish!"
Elder Chu shouted "Bravo!" and his hunched body seemed to become tall and straight. His entire spirit and energy underwent a tremendous change, just like a peerless divine Sword One that had been sealed away for a long time and reappeared in the world.
Without saying anything more, Elder Chu took out paper and pen from the drawer and quickly began to write. In no time, he had filled three sheets of paper with densely packed, tiny characters.
" The Body Tempering True Scripture?"
Taking the three sheets of Xuan paper handed over by Elder Chu, Wang Hao looked at the first four large characters with a puzzled expression. This should be the name of this cultivation technique.
" The Body Tempering True Scripture was created by me based on a fragment of the Energy-Dissolving Great Method from a Taoist School in the martial arts world of the previous dynasty. It can transform one's internal energy into one's flesh and bones. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to strengthen one's flesh and bones to the Peak Super-First-Rate, or even reach the Grandmaster Realm, solely through internal energy. Therefore, I abandoned it."
Looking at the three sheets of Xuan paper in Wang Hao's hand, Elder Chu couldn't help but sigh, then solemnly warned, "Although this technique is not yet perfect, if Confucian School scholars were to learn of it, it would surely lead to endless trouble. Unless you are absolutely certain, you must not reveal even a trace of it."
He also attempted to counter Confucian School back then, and even created the Body Tempering True Scripture specifically for this purpose, in an attempt to reverse the current Body Refinement of the martial arts world and restore it to the Body Refinement of Qi Refinement in the pre-Qin period.
After all, the current Body Refinement was modified by Confucian School during the Han Dynasty, and it contains many hidden tricks. This is also a major factor that has led to the dominance of Confucian School and the fact that no one has been able to challenge it for thousands of years.
Therefore, it is impossible to rebel against Confucian School with the current Body Refinement alone. Unfortunately, he still failed back then and was unable to perfect the Body Tempering True Scripture, which led to his failure at the last moment.
Now we can only place our hopes on Wang Hao, this young man. Although the hope is slim, it's better than nothing.
" The Energy-Dissolving Great Method?"
Wang Hao seemed to be deep in thought. As a loyal fan of Old Master Jin, he was naturally very familiar with the Energy-Dissolving Great Method, which was an evil martial art created by Ding Chunqiu, a former disciple of the Carefree Sect in Demi-Gods Northern Darkness Divine Technique Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Art.
It can neutralize an opponent's internal energy, but the Body Tempering True Scripture created by Elder Chu now turns external energy into internal energy, transforming the ability to neutralize an opponent's power into the ability to neutralize one's own power, and using it to strengthen muscles, bones, and flesh.
Most importantly, as mentioned above, the external martial arts cultivation level refined and strengthened by cultivating the Body Tempering True Scripture will be one major realm lower than the internal martial arts cultivation level.
In other words, if one's internal energy cultivation is at the Peak Super-First-Rate, it will be transformed into the Peak First-Rate of external energy cultivation.
Dongfang Bai happens to possess Super-First-Rate internal energy cultivation. After transformation, she will have Peak First-Rate external energy cultivation. Furthermore, with the right techniques, she could even break through to the next level and reach the Super-First-Rate realm.
In this way, Awakening the Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability is almost a certainty.
"Many thanks to Elder Chu for his help. I will certainly perfect the Body Tempering True Scripture Manual in the future."
Wang Hao spent a quarter of an hour memorizing the ten thousand words of the Body Tempering True Scripture Manual before handing the three sheets of paper back to Elder Chu, solemnly promising with a confident expression.
Although it is difficult to deduce the complete Body Tempering True Scripture, with the systematic Dao Comprehension Function at hand, it is not a big deal.
With enough Fortune Points, even the cultivation techniques of the Great God Pangu can be deduced and shown to you.
Not to mention that he also inherited the memories and experiences of his previous life in the Primordial World Era, which included the cultivation techniques of the Jiuli Tribe. Although it was only a very basic part, it was enough to be used in the Smiling Proud Wanderer World.
"Hahaha... Good! I'll be waiting for that day to come!"
Seeing Wang Hao's determination and confidence, Elder Chu laughed loudly and cheered.
Regardless of whether they ultimately succeed, this confidence is commendable.
Don't worry, that day won't be too far away!
With a confident smile, Wang Hao bowed to Elder Chu and said, " Elder Chu, I won't disturb you any longer as you appraise this jar of local specialties."
"Remember to try a different local specialty next time you come; we're getting a bit tired of drinking the same old 'Drunken Immortal Brew' all the time."
Just as Wang Hao reached the door, Elder Chu's voice came from behind.
"Knew!"
Wang Hao waved his hand and continued walking forward, feeling extremely grateful to Zhao Dachui and Elder Chu.
If Zhao Dachui hadn't hinted to him to find Elder Chu, he wouldn't have had this series of fortuitous encounters, not only obtaining the Lightning Straight-Line Step, the Thousand Faces Divine Technique, and the Body Tempering True Scripture, but also receiving guidance from this powerful figure.
Otherwise, if he were to cultivate alone, although he could reach the peak with the help of the system, he would undoubtedly take many detours and waste a lot of time.
This is not what he wanted to see!
