Divine Brilliance-Chapter 1193 - Extreme Purity, Extreme Kindness
“Even the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning is useless. He actually has the pure kind body, a true Saint! So, what is the point of what we have done today?”
“Pure kind and pure righteous? How funny, how amusing! Even the three ancient Saint Emperors couldn’t survive the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning Tribulation. Preposterous, what a joke…”
“Since the Gan Emperor is the Saint Ruler, then what are we? The Great Gan’s country policy is totally against our Confucian teachings but it is quite similar. However, during these 10 years, it became prosperous. The old are raised, the young are nurtured, the people are all living peacefully and there is no chaos all around. Within the city, everyone eats and lives well. Even the three ancient eras were like that!”
“Were we the ones in the wrong? Or have the 16,000 years of Confucian Faction teachings been wrong?”
“That person is the Saint Ruler! He is recognized by Heaven and Earth, a Saint that survives the lightning! He is flawless and perfect, extremely pure and kind. He can’t be the one who is in the wrong…”
“I am afraid it isn’t the Confucian Faction that is in the wrong but the Rational Thinking Line!”
That voice rang out from the scattered and chaotic voices, suppressing everyone else. It caused the entire Confucian Temple to become totally silent.
The Confucian Faction isn’t the one in the wrong but the Rational Thinking Faction!
The three Saints of the Confucian Faction were recognized by Heaven and Earth, so naturally, they wouldn’t be wrong.
So, if they wanted to go on, then naturally, the one who was wrong could only be someone else…
Zhu Zi’s face turned green and he didn’t say anything to scold them. His prestige wavered. Unless Zong Shou died to the lightning power, there was no way he could claim it back.
At this moment, he was stunned as he looked towards the direction of Fenghua Palace. 20,000 vast righteous energies still covered the sky. However, as Zong Shou’s pure white energy charged down, none of them looked as strong as before, being able to destroy all sorts of evil.
“This is the outcome you wanted?”
Zong Shou stood proudly in the air. He took in a deep breath and then sighed.
Although his eyes wandered all around, Zhu Zi knew that Zong Shou’s words targeted him.
“Unfortunately, the Heavens don’t bless you! This God Heart Asking Lightning is harmless towards me…”
As Zong Shou said this, he looked in the sky, at the 20,000 shaking energy. A cold mocking intent appeared in his eyes.
“Don’t you all feel ashamed? The vast righteous energy is born from the heart, understanding the rules of the world and the laws of the people. Only then can one follow the heart and raise righteous energy in them. However, today you all dare say that your conscience is clear?”
Just as he spoke, the sound of a dragon roaring and phoenix crying became clearer and clearer.
Being struck by the pure white King Energy, many black threads appeared among the 20,000 vast white energy.
Zong Shou burst out laughing and shook his head, “So, all of you might not be morally upright and proper men. Actually, you all are selfish and have your own desires and have done bad things. Since that is the case, then what right do all of you have to request for others to be extremely pure and perfect, to follow Confucian Faction rules? Have the few of you really done that?”
At that moment, thousands more righteous energies spread out. The spiritual sense either collapsed and was tough to maintain. Either that or some people felt guilty and retracted it.
Zong Shou’s voice continued.
“To spread the orthodoxy, to kill this Ruler that betrayed the path, not wanting to be on the same side as the demon, viewing the eighteen million civilians in the city as useless things. Is that how your Confucian Faction acts? It is because of the way I do things as well as the fact that my country policies go against your Confucian Faction theories. Even if you sacrificed the lifespans of these people, you would still want to kill me, right? Because in your eyes, the Confucian Faction theories, the spreading of the religion is far more important than their lives, right? I can tell that you feel that everything in the world can’t escape the Reason Word. However, I don’t know that what you are chasing is your own ideals or the ideals of the people in this Heaven and Earth?”
Zhu Zi’s heart twitched. Green veins popped up on the side of his forehead. However, at this moment, they didn’t know how to react.
This was because the Saint Ruler was within the Fenghua Palace! The one who was recognized by Heaven and Earth, the one who was extremely pure and kind!
So, no matter what Zong Shou said, he was correct! It was useless no matter how he tried to retort, he was in the wrong…
Moreover, was he right to insist on what he insisted on?
The moment such a thought rose up, his mind started to waver.
Not only did his Dao Foundations shake, but even the righteous energy that came from his body started to turn black. It was less righteous and majestic compared to before.
“Ke! So, you also can’t achieve that! Your heart has thoughts that you can’t tell others. Your body has uncontrollable desires. You did something you regret but still couldn’t protect your own values. Is this what you said just now? In terms of living freely, you really are weaker than my brother…”
Along with his words, everyone noticed the majestic pure energy that came from Jin Buhui. It was pure white with no flaws at all. At this moment, it was far stronger than Zhu Zi, far stronger than the 30,000 Confucians in the Imperial City.
Only Jin Buhui was at a loss, but he didn’t know what had happened.
Zong Shou laughed coldly and retracted the cold mocking intent in his words, he said calmly, “Since all of you are not pure people yourselves, then how can you judge others? How can you teach the people? How do you dare to say that the teachings of the Confucian Faction is the orthodox way of the world?”
Just one sentence caused Zhu Zi’s vital energy to ravage as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was a concentrated pile of essence blood. It was purple gold within. Zhu Zi’s aura turned dim, like he was close to death.
At this moment, the Confucians in all the temples, schools, Hanlin Academy, etc., had faces that were ashen white.
200,00 feet away from the imperial reading room, Qingxuan looked over in shock.
After a long while, he said in a stunned manner, “This Zhu Zi is done. Unless Confucian Faction has another person recognized as a Saint, they are going to fall…”
No matter whether Zong Shou lived or died, he couldn’t change the fact that Confucian Faction was about to be wiped out.
This was because the 16,000 years of Confucian teachings had been shaken by Zong Shou.
Because he was a Saint! The Saint Ruler was definitely correct.
Taihuang was thinking about the reason within. A moment later, he frowned, “Is it Primordial Demon Lord’s Black Qilin? As long as he recruited it, Black and White kind and evil, which is possible. Even if he had the Unlimited Beginning and End Ability, he shouldn’t be able to do it. Unless he has an even stronger Dao as medium. Is Zong Shou’s foundation not the Unlimited Beginning and End…”
Xufu listened in from the side and he couldn’t help but squint. If it was just the pure Unlimited Beginning and End naturally he couldn’t allow both the Good and Evil Qilins to coexist. So what kind of secret did Zong Shou have?
Qingxuan knew what Taihuang was thinking about. Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction worked together for 10,000 years and once one of them fell, the other would definitely be facing a tough time.
Even if he knew what he was thinking about, Qingxuan still shook his head, “This method is useless. So what if Zhu Zi is able to? People will just think that this is the will of the Heavens. If not, why would there be the God Heart Asking Lightning? Why would he have the Black and White Qilin? Why he would be protected by Heaven and Earth.”
Taihuang took in a deep cold breath, “Speaking of which, Zong Shou has to be killed today? However, those 30,000 Confucians will become enemies with us.”
Qingxuan laughed bitterly. It might really have been the case for the Taoist Faction. They definitely couldn’t allow Zong Shou to leave the Imperial City.
No matter what, Zhu Zi felt like the Confucian Faction had to keep Zong Shou alive.
As long as Zong Shou was still alive, that the Saint was still alive, then there was a chance to change everything and prove that he was correct.
However, if Zong Shou died, then everything would be set in stone. The Confucian Faction being torn apart would be the end result.
Zhu Zi, Confucian Temple, even the Bailu Heavenly Institution would only be seen by the people as traitors who killed the loyal ministers, who worked with the Demon Path to kill the Saint Ruler.
“Let’s just see the situation…”
Qingxuan’s gaze was really serious. At this moment, the item that could help Li Biexue form the Dao and help Xufu was already not important anymore.
“The Great Shang Emperor probably wants to kill that kid more than I.”
However, the moment he said this, Qingxuan’s looked at Xufu’s face. He was still smiling.
His heart sank. He couldn’t help but think about what Xufu relied on to be so confident?
At this moment, Yinyu’s face was dark and sunken like a dead man. It was extremely ugly.
Looking at the vast pure white King Energy and that large phoenix and dragon, Yinyu’s eyes were filled with rage and jealousy.
Saint Ruler? Then, what was he? An immoral Ruler?
However, he felt that it was still more eye-piercing than Jin Buhui.
Righteous Energy shone through the sky. It was pure and clear, looking down on Heaven and Earth with no guilt and regret at all, such that all 30,000 Confucians felt guilty and Zhu Zi’s face lost color.
He was a Saint who was pure and whose conscience was clear. Then, what was he apart from unruly and violent?
Zuoxin’s face was dead as ash. His hands and legs were cold and his heart nearly stopped beating.
He could pretty much imagine that from now onwards, all Confucian Faction disciples would see him as the traitor that slandered a loyal and good official. His reputation would be absolutely destroyed.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Yinyu was the first to react, “Grand Teacher, please help me kill this evil demon!”
“That is what I should do!”
Li Biexue looked over coldly. However, when he saw Zong Shou whose injuries had healed up, his eyes were filled with annoyance and frustration. That Confucian Faction Zhu Zi did more harm than good!
Originally Zong Shou was already on the brink of death, but now, not only had his injuries healed up, but his cultivation had also increased. How much effort did he have to spend? How much time was wasted?
The key was still the Unlimited Beginning and End Ability, Supreme, which was really problematic.
At that moment, he saw Zong Shou’s relief and that ice-cold killing intent.
The 12 Copper Men behind him suddenly moved and they punched down!
