Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Unity of Zhixing, Sincere Intent and Righteous Heart!

In Chen Zhixing’s previous life, the game "Great Cultivation" was so popular, it became a worldwide phenomenon, attracting players from all age groups.

The reason for its explosive popularity was not only because of its vast, magnificent, and bizarre world view.

It was also because, aside from the Celestial Chosen Protagonist, there were countless characters with flesh and blood, each with their own unique storylines.

For example, the blind scholar Lu Bing in front of him, who later ascended to the Peak, became a Confucian Saint, and faced with the opportunity for Longevity, chose to give it up to venture alone into the Northern Plain, transforming into a great mountain, suppressing a hundred thousand demons for millions of years, sparking a surge of scholars and rejuvenating the fortune of Confucianism!

Or, there was an elderly swordsman who drew his blade on a glacier, slicing it for three hundred years, finally splitting the vast glacier stretching for thousands of miles, and thereby ascending to the pinnacle of the Mortal World, astonishing the world!

Or, there was a woman in a brothel, holding a Buddha Beads and wearing a monastic robe, enduring 3,800 tribulations of the mortal world, accompanied by ancient Buddhas and lamps, finally achieving the supreme mysterious law, and becoming a Bodhisattva!

There were just too many more!

These individuals, these lands, these paths.

All eventually intertwined, forming this crisscrossed, bizarre and fantastical world!

.....

Just as Chen Zhixing was staring at the still young blind scholar Lu Bing, unable to suppress the surging thoughts in his mind.

"Senior Brother Lu?"

Xu Qingzhou looked at the blind scholar before her, dressed in green, holding a bamboo staff, and having traveled dustily all the way, she asked in some surprise:

"Qianyang Academy is thousands of miles away from here, how did Senior Brother get here?"

"Junior Sister Xu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the somewhat nervous Lu Bing’s heart calmed considerably, he then shamefully flushed and said: "The Academy gave me a leaf-shaped flying ship, but...but as soon as I entered Yanzhou, someone took the flying ship away from me, so I had to walk all the way here by asking passersby for directions."

At these words, the nearby Xu Family and Chen Family disciples couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Even having a flying ship stolen, how weak must one be!

"Senior Brother Lu suffered much." Xu Qingzhou nodded, somewhat sympathetically.

Anyone could imagine how much hardship a frail scholar with an eye disease had to endure to get here.

"It’s no matter, no matter."

Lu Bing quickly shook his head, smiling foolishly: "Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, one cannot form a river or sea."

"Traveling a thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books. On my journey, not only did I not suffer, but also accumulated much, I should be thankful."

Upon these words, the expressions of the people around became even stranger.

’Isn’t he just a bookworm who’s read too much and gotten dumb?’

’Qianyang Academy is the foremost academy of the age, nurturing countless prodigies of the Three Thousand Tao, where the rules have always been strict, and even slight weakness in cultivation results in elimination; yet this man with no cultivation, how can he stay at the academy, let alone be sent to debate?’

’Each word that this blind man uttered makes sense, but together, I just don’t understand?’

"I’ve been enlightened!" Xu Qingzhou cupped his hand solemnly, refraining from explaining that this seemingly somewhat stubborn and foolish blind scholar before them was actually the only disciple of today’s Confucian Saint!

In terms of status, he was even more honorable than everyone present!

Pausing for a moment, Xu Qingzhou introduced Lu Bing to the crowd.

When introducing Chen Zhixing, Lu Bing’s face lit up and he said:

"True intention knows no good or evil, what we call good or evil is merely intention in motion, everyone possesses inherent knowledge, using it to distinguish between good and evil."

"To investigate things is to investigate the heart, to explore one’s mind, remove ill will, and perfect inherent knowledge, this is what is meant by Zhixing [Unity of Knowledge and Action]!"

"Young master, your name, is actually the highest realm pursued by us Confucian scholars."

Upon these words, not only did perplexed expressions appear on those around, but Xu Qingzhou couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head.

This Brother Lu is good in every way, except when he speaks it’s always words beyond people’s understanding.

Chen Zhixing smiled and said: "When the Confucian Saint spread his teachings to the world, my mother heard this phrase from somewhere, and just gave me this name randomly."

He paused for a moment and asked: "Should Brother Lu be nearing the realm of unified knowledge and action?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing quickly waved his hand and said: "I am far from unified knowledge and action."

Chen Zhixing acknowledged with a smile, "Then you should have reached the realm of ’Sincere Intent and Righteous Heart’?"

Upon these words.

The blind scholar’s face brightened even more, his tone becoming somewhat joyful: "Does young master even know the realm of Sincere Intent and Righteous Heart? No wonder the teacher told me there’s much mysteriousness outside and I should seek understanding while I’m out this time."

Pausing, Lu Bing said: "In this debate, could young master share his views, it’s rare to meet someone who understands Sincere Intent and Righteous Heart."

Looking at Lu Bing, who was eager for knowledge and pure in expression, Chen Zhixing chuckled and said: "I also just heard it by word of mouth, if there’s an opportunity later, I’ll share my views."

Lu Bing was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

In front of the mountain gate, Chen Tianchen and a group of Clan Elders couldn’t help but look at Chen Zhixing with strange expressions.

"The path of Confucianism has always been mysterious, where did Zhixing... learn all this from?"

At this moment.

A communication talisman at a Clan Elder’s waist suddenly lit up, he then walked aside and crushed the talisman.

Moments later, the Clan Elder, looking grim, stood by Chen Tianchen’s ear and whispered:

"Third Peak Master, something happened to the Liu Family on their way here, they’re afraid they won’t make it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering, "If so, then we won’t wait, let someone prepare, and we’ll start the debate tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The Clan Elder nodded, then announced the news of the debate to be held tomorrow, leading the group back to the main peak to rest.

Once everyone had left, Chen Zhixing stood still, his eyes suddenly flashing.

[Ding! You’ve suppressed one of the Celestial Chosen Protagonists, reducing his lifespan drastically, seizing some of his fortune and talent abilities!]

[Ding! Your Fortune Value, initially set at 100%, has increased by 50%! Total Fortune Value reaches 150%!]

[Your current title: Blessed with Good Fortune]

[Ding! You’ve obtained Forbidden Technique: Life-Burning Curse!]

A series of notifications resounded in Chen Zhixing’s mind.

Raising an eyebrow, Chen Zhixing pondered.

"Ning Changyu’s lifespan drastically reduced because of me? Life-Burning Curse?"

Bang!

A torrent of vast knowledge about the ’Life-Burning Curse’ surged into Chen Zhixing’s mind.

Moments later.

"I see."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes narrowed, a look of comprehension in his eyes.

Life-Burning Curse!

This is a heaven-defying secret skill that burns lifespan in exchange for a drastic cultivation surge in a short time!

Ning Changyu’s lifespan likely dropped drastically because he used this skill, to obtain a recent cultivation surge!

"It appears someone is in a hurry." Chen Zhixing glanced towards Ning Changyu’s guest room at the main peak, his eyes flickering slightly.

If he’s guessed correctly, Ning Changyu used this spell likely intending to act against him!

In the next moment.

Bam—!

Chen Zhixing’s footstep landed, instantly reducing the vast ground beneath his feet to an inch, vanishing from the Chen Family Mountain Gate.

The knife from Taichu Sacred Lands that he needed has already been delivered.

Then... Ning Changyu should meet his end!
