Chapter 1092 The Real Struggle
"There is no benefit at all, there is only a dead end!" Feng Sheng exhaled softly: "Although I wish I could crush him to death, I must also accept an ironclad fact..."
"What facts?"
Feng Sheng said slowly: "We, the thirty-six saints, have all accepted the cause and effect of this heavenly way. It is our destiny to live and die with this heavenly way."
The Secret Saint put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, I feel the same as the Phoenix Saint. I hate this kid so much that even after four thousand years of hard practice in Zen, I still can't suppress the anger in my heart. But the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao has been established and cannot be reversed. We can only live and die with this Heavenly Dao. You, the Confucian Saint, want to seize the Dao Fruit when the Heavenly Dao collapses. What you seize is not only the Dao Fruit, but also our lives!"
The Infant Saint said: "After taking over this cause and effect, we saints no longer need the 'Saint Fate Fruit'. Our only way out is to be the protector of this heavenly way! The basis you set is completely wrong."
Around the Military Saint, the other Saints looked at each other, all bearing the 18th-level typhoon in their hearts...
Today's meeting was full of twists and turns.
Today's meeting is about calculation and counter-calculation.
The saints from the Confucian Saint faction used 360 Holy Fruits as bait to get the saints from foreign lands to help them eliminate the people from the Military Saint faction.
However, they were wrong.
The thirty-six saints in front of them don’t need the Holy Source Fruit at all.
They have taken over the cause and effect of this Heavenly Dao and have already opened up a bridge to connect with this Heavenly Dao. They themselves possess an endless supply of holy power to support them, so why do they need the Holy Source Fruit?
All they want is their heads!
You, the Confucian saint, had no intention of resisting the unintentional catastrophe. You only wanted to pick the fruits of the Heavenly Dao yourself when the unintentional catastrophe came.
This is the same path that the saints from other lands took in the past.
But now, the road has been changed!
Your path is aimed directly at the heads of the saints from foreign lands!
Wouldn't the saints from other lands kill you instead of letting you live on for the New Year?
This is called the Holy Way, the brain comes first!
Without a brain and without life, what else is there to talk about?
Such an incredible turn of events was because of Lin Su!
Lin Su's second trip to Tianwai Tian left behind a shocking foreshadowing...
With the song "Daoqiu Tianyuan", thirty-three of the sixty-nine saints were directly destroyed, and the remaining thirty-six saints took over the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao, thus directly turning these thirty-six people into their fellow travelers.
How clever is this?
Lin's plans have always been able to achieve real results in impossible situations. This is something that the Temple, the Three Heavens, the Seven Kingdoms and the Thirteen States have long known or reached a consensus on.
But today, after hearing about the "Daoqiu Tianyuan" that had already happened and was only revealed today, the saints suddenly felt that the rumors about Mr. Lin were too shallow. Compared with his feat of turning the world upside down with a wave of his hand, his previous replacement of the ruler of a country in three years was just a small trick...
The Confucian Sage let out a long sigh: "Lin Su's plan is really beyond words. I have never looked down on him, but now it seems that I did look down on him after all."
The Sage of Soldiers said, "You underestimated him, but he never underestimated you! He destroyed the various capitals of the Holy Peak, reconstructed the structure of the Holy Temple, divided the Saints, and compressed your Confucian living space. Step by step, link by link, he was forcing you to implement your ultimate plan! He also took this opportunity to truly see how the Saints of the Three Heavens stand, and finally used their own tricks to completely eliminate you, the rebels!"
These words really clarified everything...
The saints finally understood how thorough Lin's plan was...
Every step he took previously was intentional.
It was he who opened the curtain to kill the music saint.
Contacting the saints of Taoism, Mohism, Agriculture, Yin-Yang, and Chess is to establish a camp and build momentum.
Reconstructing the structure of the temple and establishing a system of responsibility for the temple master is a way to reduce the power of the saints and also to create momentum.
After killing the Saint of Painting, forcing the Saint of Confucianism to issue a heavenly book of repentance was all for the sake of building momentum.
He gradually compressed the living space of Confucianism and bit by bit changed the pattern of Confucianism's dominance. He made Confucianism clearly see that their future was worrying and they could not move forward, forcing Confucianism to seek change.
He calculated that there was only one way for the Confucian saints to go, and that was a showdown, killing all the saints in this camp, re-establishing the Confucian monopoly in the Three Heavens, and then reshuffling the situation that had already gotten out of control.
Everyone in the Confucian faction knows that this is the only way.
But this road is the "empty door" that Lin Su intentionally left for them - the empty door is actually a dead door.
"The only open door is actually a bottomless trap!" The Confucian Sage sighed, "What a sinister and vicious plan to wipe out the whole family! I am convinced by the Lin family's plan, but, Soldier Lord, do you really think you have won?"
As soon as these words came out, the holy books in front of him opened one after another...
Above his head, there was a thick and heavy purple cloud...
He is like an immortal above the starry sky!
The sky is infinitely high, the earth is infinitely high, the Confucian master stands alone above the galaxy, looking down upon all the saints in heaven and earth!
The Military Saint slowly raised the Weiyang Pen in his hand and said, "Confucian Saint, your path has come to an end! Your colleagues are at the end of their rope! Can't you see the general trend?"
The Confucian sage's gaze slowly descended: "General trend? What is the general trend? This sage will let you see what the general trend of the world is?!"
As the voice fell, the fingers also fell!
As soon as the Confucian sage pointed his finger, all the Confucian temples in the seven countries and thirteen states lit up at the same time. Countless lines of literature and morality shot from each state, prefecture, and county to the Confucian temples, and then converged to the Confucian sage with the Confucian temples as the base point.
The figure of the Confucian sage appears on all the walls of literature and Taoism.
The three great sacred texts, The Analects of Confucius, The Book of History and The Spring and Autumn Annals, rustled and transformed into a nine-tiered lotus platform beneath the body of the Confucian sage.
"The Confucian master shows his saintliness!" In front of the Confucian Temple of the Da Cang Kingdom, countless disciples suddenly knelt down. Their Confucian spirit was instantly connected with the Confucian Temple, and they felt the baptism of the light of the holy way.
"Confucianism is respected and saintly!" The same is true for the ancient country of Nanyang.
This is the case with the Western Heavenly Kingdom, the Yelang Kingdom, the Red Kingdom, the Daqing Kingdom, the Dachuan Kingdom, the Thirteen States...
Countless threads of literature and morality converged on the Confucian sage. The holy light on his body shone brightly, and his figure suddenly rose taller, truly towering over the sky and the earth. In the purple clouds above his head, countless scholars appeared. To be precise, all those who have absorbed the Confucian literary mind in the world are connected to him.
All the saints were shocked at the same time...
Feng Sheng murmured, "To hold all the disciples of Confucianism hostage, is this similar to the power of faith?"
"That's right! This is the 'harmony of the Tao' of the sage of literature!" Saint Bichao said: "Simply speaking of the followers of Tao, those who have picked up the Confucian literary mind account for more than 80% of the world's literati. Even if the other sects join forces, they cannot defeat Confucianism alone!"
The Military Saint shouted, "Kong Shiqiu! You have coerced all the Confucian students in the world and put them against the Saints, just to save your own life. Don't you think this is too much?"
The Confucian Saint said: "If you enter my Confucian school and spread my Confucian teachings, you will become my Confucian disciple. Let's see if I can, with the power of Confucianism, correct the chaos and rebuild a magnificent temple without noise!"
A magnificent temple without any noise!
This is Chi LL's idea of abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone!
His ambition was finally exposed.
All the saints in the temple were furious.
The saints from foreign lands were also angry.
Damn it, my life is on the line, how can I have the time to talk to you?
"Kill!" Phoenix Saint came out first, with a phoenix feather as the pioneer!
When the phoenix feathers came out, heaven and earth opened and closed, and the phoenix cried out, which was heard throughout the nine heavens. The phoenix wings ignited into fire and pounced towards the Confucian sage.
However, under the pressure of the heavy purple clouds, the phoenix wings turned into ashes, the Phoenix Saint's body shook violently, and her face turned pale. This was her natal phoenix feather. Once the phoenix feather was destroyed, her body was also injured. She, the top saint among all the saints from foreign lands, was actually injured at the first encounter.
"This person has integrated the power of billions of faiths. He is better than anything else!" The Secret Saint said in a deep voice: "Attack together!"
Along with the holy light, the thirty-six saints leaped up at the same time. In the initial stage, they were all like flying dragons, stirring up the wind and clouds of heaven and earth. However, the purple clouds above opened and closed, and countless scholars recited the essence of "Analects of Confucius" in unison, forming an overwhelming and completely unstoppable pressure of literature and Taoism. When the thirty-six saints reached the halfway point, they actually felt like they were in a forest of books. Words such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, chastity and fraternity seeped into their bodies and impacted the foundation of their sainthood.
They are all saints from foreign lands. The holy path they uphold is incompatible with Confucianism and Taoism. This incompatibility is like two millstones, crushing them madly in their bodies.
The faces of the thirty-six saints all changed.
The Agricultural Saint suddenly grabbed the Military Saint and asked, "What should we do?"
The Sage of War had a very tangled expression on his face. "He is now backed by millions of students from seven countries and thirteen states. With the combined strength of millions of people, he has already taken a step above the saints. To contend with him, there is only one way. We all become 'harmony to the Tao'!"
The Agricultural Saint's heart sank to the bottom.
He was devoted to farming and was not the type to play games on the battlefield. He was unfamiliar with games and when he saw the critical situation, he took it for granted that the Confucian Saint should be killed. However, the Military Saint and the Chess Saint were well-known game masters and saw the most terrifying layer.
The Confucian sage now forcibly bound all those with Confucian literary mind and gathered the power of these people.
The individual strength of these people is insignificant to them, but we must not ignore the population base of the Confucian faction. The people of the Confucian faction are the largest in all the literary and Taoist systems, and every little bit of them can be combined into a river!
Once gathered, the power controlled by the Confucian sage directly broke through the line above the saint and entered the realm of all things.
The realm of all things is beyond the reach of a saint. If one wants to contend with it, one must "conform to the Tao"!
The so-called "harmony of the Tao" is the exclusive privilege of the saints of literature and Tao: to unite the strength of all the believers on his path.
The Confucian sage combined the efforts of all the people in the Confucian faction.
What about the Military Saint? Of course! He can combine the power of the military way.
Even a chess master can do it! He can combine the power of the chess way.
The Agricultural Saint can also do it! He can combine the power of the Agricultural Dao.
They don't do it because they know how serious the consequences will be.
All the saints have united their ways and are engaged in a life-and-death battle, which is indirectly equivalent to all the scholars in the world participating in the battle. No matter who wins or loses, the final result will be that the world's literature will be completely crippled, and the seven kingdoms and thirteen states will be completely destroyed!
The Confucian sage does not care about the cost, he does not care if everyone dies with him.
But can the other saints not care?
Not only were they reluctant to involve their own Taoist disciples in the dispute, they even couldn't bring themselves to kill their Confucian disciples.
This is a dead end with no way out.
This is the final trump card of the Confucian sage.
This was also the final variable in today's meeting of the saints: the Confucian saint lost the strategy, but he activated the Hedao. Once the momentum of Hedao was established, he would be invincible - the literary saints, led by the military saint, did not dare to use the same level of killer moves as him (in fact, even if you activate it, it would be useless, because the number of believers of the Confucian faction far exceeds the sum of those of other sects).
boom!
The thirty-six saints from foreign lands were repelled at the same time!
Even if they had freed themselves from the shackles of Heaven at this moment and exerted all their divine power, they would still be unable to break through the Confucian and Taoist literary mountains and seas formed by the Confucian saints and the Confucian scholars all over the world.
The faces of the saints from foreign lands all changed. It was not until this moment that they truly realized what "culture and morality are supreme" meant!
Wendao is respected because its system is inherited from one generation to the next, and because the sage of Wendao can integrate the combined force of one Dao. To this extent, millions of inheritors of this Dao will simultaneously attach all their power to the sage. At this time, the sage is no longer a human being, but a branch of the Heavenly Dao!
Confucian temples in various places became his link to the entire Taoism.
Literary mind has become the watershed of Taoism.
As long as you have a Confucian mind, you will be bound by it involuntarily.
The purple clouds repelled the thirty-six saints and suddenly expanded to tens of millions of miles, and the entire sky was purple.
Clouds descended, covering the eight great saints of literature and Taoism in front of them.
The Soldier Saint looked extremely unhappy...
He tried his best to avoid involving the people in his gang, but what could he do now?
If he does not follow the path of Confucian sages, he will not be able to compete with them, and his life and the lives of the seven sages around him will be in danger.
To follow the same path as the Confucian saints would destroy the entire world.
This is also internal circulation!
The Confucian sage was borrowing Lin Su's concept of "involution". In the seven kingdoms and thirteen states, involution in another sense came. Once the door of involution was opened, the cost was unparalleled and the consequences were even more horrific.
I am afraid that after this volume, the civil war among the seven countries and thirteen states will be endless. How can we talk about reaching the Wuxin Sea and fighting against the Wuxin Tribulation?
There are thousands of worries, and the situation is beyond our control...
There are clouds of various colors rising above the heads of the saints...
The battle of the inner world is about to break out...
Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere under the purple clouds!
A young man in white clothes as white as snow!
Lin Su!
He is finally here!
As soon as Lin Su arrived, he faced the mountain-like pressure formed by the purple sea of literary energy of the Confucian sage, and his scholar's scarf fluttered in the frenzy...
"Lin Su!"
The Military Saint and the Chess Saint shouted in unison. When the other saints saw him, they suddenly felt an emotion that absolutely shouldn't have arisen from the bottom of their hearts. This emotion was called: relief!
A large number of literary and Taoist saints were forced into a corner by the Confucian saints. When they were in a dilemma, they suddenly saw a quasi-saint who was not even a saint. This kind of emotion inexplicably rose from the bottom of their hearts. It was indeed unheard of.
"Lin Su! You are finally here!" The Confucian sage's voice was like the sound of immortals from the sky.
"Kong Shiqiu! You are finally exposed!" Lin Su said coldly.
"So what if it's exposed?" The Confucian Sage laughed loudly, "My disciples have mastered 80% of the culture and the way of Taoism. With one way, we can conquer the world. How can you go against this great and righteous path?"
Lin Su looked up to the sky and laughed: "Going against the way? Why do I have to go against the way?"
"Not going against the Way?" The Confucian sage frowned slightly.
Lin Su said: "I am not against the Dao, I am against you. I want to make it clear to the world that you, Kong Shiqiu, are not worthy of being in charge of Confucianism!"
The Military Saint and the Chess Saint looked at each other, and saw a sudden burst of colorful light in each other's eyes...
Not going against the Tao, but going against the Confucian sages!
This is a new road!
This is a completely different perspective!
The Confucian Sage has coerced all the Confucian scholars in the world to become enemies with them. No matter they win or lose, they cannot bear it. However, Lin Su's focus is not to make enemies with the Confucian scholars in the world and he will not go against this path. He only points his spearhead at the Confucian Sage!
However, the Confucian Way was created by the Confucian sages, and they are one and the same...
The Confucian Sage laughed loudly: "You are not going against the Way, but against this Sage. How ridiculous! All the gods know that the Confucian Way was created by this Sage! This Sage is the Confucian Way, and the Confucian Way is this Sage!"
Lin Su waved his hand gently...
The walls of the texts of various countries suddenly lit up at the same time...
In addition to the majestic and incomparable statue of the Confucian saint on the wall of literature and Taoism, there is a new person, the quasi-saint of heaven, Lin Su!
Lin Su seemed to be coming step by step from beyond the starry sky!
In Da Cang Capital, Ji Guang stood up from his seat, his face changed drastically: "Lin Su!"
Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng held hands and said, "He showed up too, to face the Confucian Master?"
On the West Mountain, Princess Yufeng and Xie Xiaoyan's faces changed at the same time. They traveled to Haining from early spring to midsummer, looking forward to meeting him. Unfortunately, the flowers withered and the river water turned warm, and they never waited.
I just returned to Xishan, but I saw him through the Wendao wall.
What is he going to do?
Face to face with the Confucian sage, oh my god...
The great road?
Isn't the battle between the military saint and the Confucian saint a matter?
Why is he?
Lin Su said in a clear voice: "Confucian saint Kong Shiqiu said that Confucianism was created by him. Therefore, Confucian saints are Confucianism, and Confucianism is Confucian saints. How shallow? How ignorant? How narrow-minded? All the ways in the world are traced back to heaven, refined by people, and benefit all living beings. How can they be the ways of one person or one family?"
His voice reached down to the ninth heaven, and poured into the ears of Confucian scholars throughout the world through the wall of literature and Taoism.
Directly shake everyone's spirit.
Everyone who heard it was shocked.
He dared to denounce the Confucian sage to his face for being shallow, ignorant and narrow-minded!
This is a precedent that has never been seen before in the world!
However, his words were so convincing...
A saint created a path, and this path is essentially the ultimate truth of heaven. He is just the person who refined it, not the only one who possesses it. He is just the discoverer, not the inventor!
What the Confucian sage just said was indeed narrow-minded.
In fact, the Confucian Sage did not intend to let the Confucian scholars all over the world hear this, and he did not spread it to the world through the Wall of Literature and Taoism. However, Lin Su waved his hand lightly, forced his way into the Wall of Literature and Taoism, repeated the Confucian Sage's words to all the saints, and then refuted them, and placed them in front of the Confucian scholars all over the world.
It aroused widespread resonance.
As this resonance occurred, the unimpeded connection between the Confucian sage and the purple clouds above his head suddenly became obstructed.
Because among all living beings, a large number of people agree with Lin Su’s point of view—believing in Confucianism and Taoism is not necessarily equivalent to believing in Confucian saints.
The Confucian sage's heart sank: "You want to fight for the truth?"
Lin Su laughed loudly and said, "You must first understand a basic principle: to fight for the truth, you must stand firm on this truth before you are qualified to talk about fighting for the truth. And can you, Kong Shiqiu, stand firm on the Confucian truth? I'm afraid not!"
"How dare you!" The Confucian sage roared, and the whole world was shocked.
With a roar, the purple clouds above his head suddenly pressed down towards Lin Su.
Although the purple clouds are not in perfect condition at the moment, they still look like an inverted galaxy when they fall overhead.
Lin Su took a step forward and pointed his finger at the sky: "Confucianism emphasizes benevolence first! When hundreds of millions of people in the world were helpless and had to exchange their children for food, you did not give them your benevolence, but instead gave it to the royal aristocrats who were well-dressed and well-fed; demons were rampant in the world, killing more than hundreds of millions of our human children? In the name of education, you strictly prohibited the Temple from participating in the war, but your benevolence was not given to the human race, but to the demons and alien races! The benevolence of Confucianism is to benefit all living beings of the human race, and your benevolence is to benefit the demons, alien races, and the scum of the human race! The so-called 'benevolence' you practice is not the benevolence of the human race at all, and you are trying to use it to bind hundreds of millions of human students? Isn't it a joke?"
As soon as these words were spoken, lightning flashed in the purple cloud above.
The power plummeted.
The Confucian Sage's expression suddenly changed, and he used all his holy power to forcibly stabilize the chaotic Wenshan Qi Sea...
Lin Su's second words came: "Confucianism attaches great importance to righteousness! The various paths of literature and morality run parallel and complement each other. This is the right way. However, under your leadership, Confucianism is the only one that dominates. You exclude those who are different from you and gang up on those who are different. You have lost righteousness!"
Lin Su said: "The Confucian way is three levels of etiquette! The so-called etiquette is the norm that all living beings follow. It comes from the heart, abides by the rules, and is performed with respect. You want to replace the way of heaven. You don't respect heaven. You ignore the harm caused by the unintentional catastrophe to the four fields. You don't respect the earth. You ignore the survival of hundreds of billions of people. You don't respect the people. Where is your etiquette?"
The Confucian Sage almost vomited blood from his chest...
This kid made three consecutive arguments...
Speaking of benevolence, the benevolence of Confucian sages, the human race has not felt it!
In terms of righteousness, you yourself are unrighteous!
In terms of etiquette, you are rude!
All three theories focus on the pillars of Confucianism.
He did not deny this pillar, he only denied Confucius and Shiqiu. He did not think of overthrowing the Nine Principles of Confucianism, he just forcibly separated Confucius and Shiqiu from the Confucian scholars of the world.
This is another way to break the Confucianism and the Tao. This way is called: removing the fuel from under the cauldron.
Or it can be called: Use your spear to attack your shield!
This is what's really scary about this kid.
He never plays by the rules.
The Confucian sage's condensed Wenshan Qihai was dug three times by him, and it was almost unstable. He concentrated all his energy on stabilizing Wenshan Qihai, so he didn't have the opportunity to interrupt and discuss. In fact, he couldn't refute it, because Lin Su was just listing facts, and as long as it was a fact, you couldn't refute it at all...
"This kid is not talking about Taoism!" The chess master exhaled lightly.
"It is also a discussion of Taoism, but the topic is not Confucianism itself, but whether Kong Shiqiu is worthy of being based on Confucianism!" The Military Saint's mood was inexplicably as clear as the sky.
Lin Su's fourth attack...
"The Confucian Way, the Fourfold Wisdom! You have designated the Saint of Music and the Saint of Painting as saints, causing the two great ways of literature to be ruled by foreign demons for a thousand years, leaving a permanent stain on the way of literature. Your wisdom is close to that of an idiot!"
"The Confucian Way has five levels of faith! When you first became a saint, you swore to heaven to help the people with your way. But the final result is that your Confucianism took advantage of the situation to become the only one in power. You have always been pursuing your own interests. You have broken your promise!"
"The Confucian way is the sixfold loyalty. You are the saint of heaven. If you want to go against heaven, you have lost your loyalty!"
"Confucianism has seven levels of filial piety. You only ask your disciples to be filial to you, but you don't show filial piety to your ancestors. Your filial piety has already gone astray!"
"The Confucian Way, the Eightfold Principle..."
After eight consecutive heavy blows, the purple cloud above the Confucian sage's head was shattered into pieces. The bond between him and the Confucian scholars all over the world had become as faint as smoke, and he could hardly control it anymore.
