Chapter 882: Chapter 43: Disaster Prevention Herbs and the Self Theory of Heaven and Earth, Pang Yuanzhen’s Shock! (Part 5)
In this way, doesn’t this put the Self Sect at the top of the three sects?
It’s practically perfect for the Self Sect!
But being perfect is one thing; there still needs to be sufficient persuasiveness, forming a complete theory.
Seventeen people’s eyes were fixed on Zhao Xing, hoping he would provide adequate evidence.
It’d be best to also provide practical fields of application.
Otherwise, these words would be nothing more than empty talk.
"In the past, Saint Su wrote the "Disaster Prevention Herbs", recording over 1700 types of plants in 12 categories, covering the land of the Nineteen States."
"There is a vine named ’Water Purifying Vine’, move it to turbid water, and in half a day, the water clears, and the people can drink it."
"There is also a Divine Tree ’Heaven and Earth Clear’, planted in poisonous miasma lands, where in three years, the miasma disperses, and the vile land turns fertile."
"..."
"How does miasma-ridden land turn into fertile soil? Miasma arises due to the chaotic Six Qi of Heaven, cold, yin, dryness, dullness, mingling to form Heaven’s foul air."
"Plants take in the Self, dispersing the Six Qi, restoring yin-yang balance; isn’t this changing Heavenly Time?"
"Earth Fire Lotus takes root in Flame Mountain, where over time, Earth Fire shifts from the sun to lesser yang; many plant it, turning million-mile Flame Mountain into Spirit Mountain, isn’t this nurturing earth veins with plants?"
"Dust storms fly over deserts, planting a million trees can stop them, turning desert into oasis."
"In dense forests, clouds and rain are common..."
Zhao Xing spoke eloquently, and the Ministers of Agriculture listened intently, jotting notes.
Saint Su refers to the ancient sage ’Su Song’, whose classics "Disaster Prevention Herbs" and "Life-saving Herbs" have been passed down through generations.
They discuss many magical plants capable of growing in extreme environments and describe their effects on the landscape.
But he only emphasized the magical traits of plants, without deeply exploring the plants’ effects on Heavenly Time and Earth Advantage, analyzing the reasons from the essence.
Zhao Xing, however, starts from yin-yang five elements, discussing from a higher perspective the impact of plant life on Heavenly Time and earth veins.
The classics he derived his concepts from aren’t obscure; for instance, both "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth·Six Qi Chapter" and "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth·Yin Yang Chapter" mention similar concepts.
But these straightforward theories, when combined, brought enlightenment to many Ministers of Agriculture from the Self Sect.
Pang Yuanzhen and many Ministers of Agriculture became more and more intrigued as they listened.
Indeed, why hadn’t they thought of explaining it this way before?
But when Zhao Xing started delving into deeper topics.
Gradually, many Ministers of Agriculture found it difficult to keep up with Zhao Xing’s pace.
Zhao Xing glanced at the expressions of Wei Zhao and others.
It had already turned to this: (⊙o⊙)...
He smiled slightly.
As he had referenced many theories from the Heavenly Time Sect and Earth Advantage Sect, it was expected that Ministers focused on the Path of Self would find themselves bewildered.
He even cited historical records on geographical and Heavenly Time changes to explain why Xuanhuang Realm is in its current state, the result of plant life intertwined with animals, the Human Clan, and the Water Clan.
The intent was to leave these Self Sect Ministers confused.
If you’re not confused, how could you ask me for guidance?
"Is he redefining the Heavenly Dao from the perspective of the Self Sect?" Pang Yuanzhen gradually began to feel restless and anxious.
Because he had switched over from the Heavenly Time Sect, no one present was more aware than him of the significance of Zhao Xing’s theories to the Self Sect.
Not to mention letting the Self Sect surpass the Heavenly Time and Earth Advantage Sects, at the very least, it would elevate the status of the Self Sect.
"This young man, how could he be so proficient in the theories of the three sects at such a young age, it’s simply terrifying."
Initially, Pang Yuanzhen could still chat a bit with Zhao Xing, but later, he found himself unable to interject at all.
Because he realized he didn’t understand anymore!
When glancing at the others, Pang Yuanzhen noticed they had slipped into a dazed state sooner than he did.
"Pop!"
Zhao Xing suddenly stopped his discourse, pulled out two thick books, and placed them on the table.
Everyone immediately snapped back to reality, staring blankly at the books Zhao Xing put on the table.
Looking over, Pang Yuanzhen’s heart skipped a beat.
The titles on the covers of the two books.
The first titled "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth·Heavenly Time Chapter".
The second titled "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth·Earth Veins Chapter".
Considering what Zhao Xing had mentioned earlier, these books evidently contain various combinations of magical plants that can alter Heavenly Time and Earth Advantage.
Earlier theories were things that those aiming for eternal fame did, which seemed somewhat ethereal; now, what’s presented is the real focus!
But Zhao Xing remained silent, not opening them.
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Zhao couldn’t help but ask carefully: "Marquis Yuan Rang, what’s recorded inside?"
Zhao Xing smiled at Pang Yuanzhen: "It’s exactly what I mentioned earlier, a Five Elements plant combination that can rapidly change Heavenly Time and Earth Advantage."
"However, as all of you have official duties, safeguarding the millions of people in Bright Moon Prefecture, it’s not appropriate for me to take more of your time and delay your work."
Rustle~
All eyes turned to Pang Yuanzhen.
The latter immediately stood up from the table and bowed towards Zhao Xing: "Marquis Yuan Rang’s principles are precise, with a vision far surpassing ours. I and the officials here will listen to Marquis Yuan Rang’s orders."
Rustle~ everyone rose in unison and bowed towards Zhao Xing: "Please, Marquis Yuan Rang, give us your commands."
Zhao Xing returned the gesture to everyone, saying: "I wouldn’t dare call it a command; Zhao Xing respectfully asks all the officials to join me in a collective effort to ensure that the Bright Moon Prefecture’s populace overcome this natural disaster!"
With a voice firm and strong, placed within the Earth Mirror on the principal seat in the hall, Bright Moon Prefecture Master Ye Yuxong blinked.
He had felt drowsy listening earlier, sneaking a nap.
Waking up, he saw the scene where Zhao Xing and Pang Yuanzhen and others were exchanging formalities.
"What’s the situation, he’s managed to appease this side too?"
"What exactly did that kid sent by Luo Hou King just say, to quickly sort out two factions?"
