Chapter 1 The Questioning Hall

Everyone looked at Lu Changsheng.

Zhang Zhen’s question truly struck a chord in everyone's hearts.

Yes, even true disciples were despairing of the immortal path, so what about them, these core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples?

They were constantly told that hard work pays off, that effort brings hope, but where was the hope?

Where was the immortal path?

Where exactly was the road beneath their feet?

Everyone could preach grand principles, but who knew the suffering in each person's heart?

How many cultivators despaired on the immortal path?

How many cultivators were lost on the immortal path?

Where exactly was the road?

This question was extremely profound.

When people were busy with tasks, many wouldn’t think about this question, but when they had nothing to do, they would start to overthink.

This kind of question seemed a bit chaotic, but in reality, many cultivators would go astray because of it.

When you cultivate diligently, when you strive hard, but you find that in this lifetime, you can never reach your goal.

What would you do?

Give up on yourself! Despair, abandon, even cultivate demonic arts, even bring disaster to the world, just to satisfy the various desires in your heart.

This was falling into demonic ways.

Each of the great holy lands often held a grand ceremony lecture every year, which was to persuade people to be kind, because once a cultivator fell into demonic ways, it was very terrible.

In a dynasty, even a seventh-rank official who fell into demonic ways could bring disaster to one side of the people.

And what about a cultivator?

What if this cultivator had profound cultivation?

The disaster brought about would be terrifying beyond compare.

Therefore, after Wang Zhen asked this question, not to mention these 100,000 disciples, the entire high-level of the Great Luo were paying attention to Lu Changsheng.

They were very curious about what Lu Changsheng would say to dissuade them.

In the Questioning Hall.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

That's right, Lu Changsheng planned to use the *Zhou Yi* (Book of Changes) to answer.

The *Zhou Yi* contained infinite wisdom, especially the Qian hexagram, which inspired people to move forward, remove doubts in their hearts, and strengthen their goals.

It was best to use it as an answer.

But just as Lu Changsheng finished saying this sentence.

As if brewing for a long time, the vision appeared directly at this moment.

Stars appeared one by one.

Covering the entire earth.

Looking up, hundreds of millions of stars emitted a brilliant light.

Above the sky.

The light was dazzling.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

As if it was a response from the universe.

The stars were shining, illuminating the ages.

At this moment, it was no longer just the Central Continent, but the entire Immortal Cultivation World was shaking.

Boom!

Inside the Central Continent Literary Sage Academy.

Hundreds of Literary Sage statues were alarmed once again.

In the Holy Academy, someone exclaimed.

"The Sage statues have moved, could it be that another eternal article has appeared?"

The sound rang out, alarming all directions.

However, in the Holy Academy, a voice slowly sounded.

"It's not an eternal article, it's a peerless article!"

The voice rang out, with an undisguisable shock in his tone.

-------

The Four Great Dynasties of the Central Continent.

Each emperor stood outside the hall in unison. Although they were in different places, they were all watching the Great Luo Holy Land, with extremely horrified gazes in their eyes.

Because they saw a True Dragon, floating above the Great Luo Holy Land, this was a True Dragon, a real dragon.

--------

The Yin Yang Holy Land, the Purple Green Holy Land, the Primordial Holy Land, and other holy lands were also alarmed.

The terrifying vision swept through the entire Central Continent.

In the sky, everyone saw a dragon appear, this was a True Dragon.

Floating above the Great Luo Holy Land, it was a million zhang in size, making people's hearts tremble.

"As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

Some scholars opened their mouths, carefully pondering, and then in an instant, light shone and fell on them, this was the aura of righteousness!

"As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

Some cultivators spoke, reciting this sentence, in an instant, terrifying spiritual energy turned into a beam of light, shining on them, this was supreme spiritual energy!

At this moment, countless voices rang out.

"As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

These words, only ten words, but full of infinite wisdom.

What is "As Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement"?

The way of Heaven acts vigorously and powerfully, and we cultivators (literati) should also be like Heaven, striving for self-improvement, moving forward, being firm and resolute, striving to become stronger, and not being lazy!

The road ahead is difficult, but as long as you strengthen your heart, then everything will be rewarded.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Central Continent, at this moment, sounded countless voices.

Those Literary Sage phantoms, at this moment, were almost materialized, as if they were about to be resurrected.

The aura of righteousness flooded the entire Central Continent.

At the same time, the immeasurable spiritual energy that hundreds of millions of stars erupted also blessed the Central Continent.

Eastern Land.

Countless powerful people opened their celestial eyes to watch, their eyes were filled with shock, but also could not help but reveal a strong envy.

"Using peerless articles to persuade people to be kind, making the heavens moved, and then blessing the Central Continent, Lu Changsheng, with his own strength, has forcibly made the Central Continent prosperous for 100,000 years."

A peerless powerhouse spoke, his words full of shock and emotion.

However, in the Great Luo Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng noticed the vision, but he was already used to it, only countless voices echoed, making people's blood boil.

In one breath, Lu Changsheng continued to speak.

"Hidden Dragon, do not act. Yang is below. Seeing the dragon in the field means virtue is widely applied. All day long, be constantly vigilant; this is the way to repeated practice. Leaping in the abyss brings no blame, for one advances without fault. Flying Dragon is in the sky, the great man creates. A dragon exceeding its proper place will have cause to repent, for fullness cannot last long. When all the emblems are used, it is good fortune, but one must not place oneself above others."

As Lu Changsheng spoke.

In an instant, a vast sound rang out, hundreds of Literary Sage phantoms were chanting scriptures together.

In an instant, terrifying literary energy and star power surrounded Lu Changsheng.

Then Lu Changsheng floated up into the air.

He stood in the high sky.

His heart was surging.

Behind him, a star chart was vividly displayed.

"The Celestial Stars Chart! This is the Celestial Stars Chart! This is the strongest vision of all time."

At this moment, a shocked voice came from the Myriad Stars Holy Land.

At this moment, the world was shocked.

Because this time, the vision that appeared was no longer a halo blessing, but a true vision.

The Celestial Stars Chart is the strongest vision of ancient and modern times.

Opening the Celestial Stars Chart can mobilize hundreds of millions of stars, turning them into infinite spiritual energy, blessing the body, with endless mana and invincible combat power.

This kind of vision has only existed in ancient books throughout history, and it is unknown whether it even exists.

However, today, Lu Changsheng awakened his first vision.

Only Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"The Earth's condition is receptive; a gentleman carries the outer world with virtue."

The voice rang out, hundreds of millions of stars, illuminating the entire Central Continent.

The Literary Star was even more shaken.

The Great Luo Holy Land, all the high-level people were already dumbfounded.

Especially Qingyun Daoist.

He just wanted Lu Changsheng to casually preach and teach.

But he didn't expect that he would actually say peerless scriptures.

These two sentences are enough to be passed down for tens of millions of years.

If he had known, he would have let Lu Changsheng secretly tell himself, wouldn't it be better for him to do it himself.

Qingyun Daoist was a little whimsical, but quickly retracted his mind, watching Lu Changsheng.

However, at this moment.

Behind Lu Changsheng, shadows appeared one by one!

Some held books in their hands.

Some held knives and guns.

Some held writing brushes.

Some held scrolls.

"This...this is...this is the Hundred Schools of Thought!"

"The strongest vision of literati, the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"I didn't expect that I would see the emergence of the Hundred Schools of Thought in my lifetime, it is really without regrets in this life! No regrets in this life!"

Voices rang out one after another.

The literati of the world were shocked.

Because Lu Changsheng had awakened another vision.

The Hundred Schools of Thought!

And at this moment.

After Lu Changsheng finished reciting the Qian hexagram and the Kun hexagram, he was silent for a while.

But then.

His voice was like the sound of the Great Dao.

Spread throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

"I am Lu Changsheng, may all living beings in the world be like dragons, soaring into the sky!"

When these words fell.

The world was completely stunned!

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were filled with a mysterious yellow aura.

The supreme cloud of merit appeared again.
