Chapter 293: Taoism's Return to Faith! Coming to Seek Advice!_2
"Until the very end, all people and forces associated with me will be completely obliterated..."
With a pause in his words, Su Changqing shook his head and smiled, saying:
"Even if I were invincible, pushing through all sides, what would be the meaning of it?"
He looked at the elders present, Xuan Yi, Xuan Yan and others, his words gentle yet resonating:
"I, Su Changqing, will not abandon anyone who has shown kindness to me."
"Today, it's the Holy Academy; in future Taoist crises, I will still be the same!"
"Even if Central Province is a dragon's lair and tiger's den, a world of snares, I will venture there!"
Su Changqing's words softly fell, yet echoed thunderously in everyone's ears.
Indeed.
If Su Changqing retreats in the face of adversity today, will he retreat in future Taoist crises?
If everything considers profit and loss, how is that different from being ruthless?
Isn't what they seek precisely a future strong figure like him, who values bonds and repays favors?
If they obstruct now, they sever not only the vitality of the Holy Academy,
but also the hope of future Taoism.
Su Changqing's words completely awakened everyone.
"Hahaha, well said!"
Xuan Yi suddenly laughed, and a bright light appeared in his eyes as he looked at Su Changqing,
"We were shortsighted, too narrow-minded."
"True to one's heart, sincere in dealings, Confucian Immortal didn't take you as a disciple in vain."
At this moment, the many elders on the side looked at Su Changqing with changed expressions.
It was a look of... admiration and approval.
Before this, they saw the giving of time power merely as a transaction.
But now, they truly acknowledge Su Changqing as the Vice Sect Leader of Taoism!
Because they understand that in future Taoist crises,
Su Changqing will certainly come, just like today venturing to Central Province, despite myriad difficulties!
"This journey to Central Province, its fate is uncertain. There is something that should be returned to Taoism on behalf of the Daoist Venerable."
With those words, Su Changqing stroked his forehead with two fingers, and two misty rays of light emerged.
With a resolute look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and shouted lowly, "Break!"
Hiss!
Following a tearing sound, those two peculiar rays of light strangely intertwined in black and white, swirling.
Su Changqing pinched seals with his fingertips, and marks fell one after another.
Seeing the yin and yang fish transform into a Tai Chi Diagram, and then begin to evolve on its own.
Two symbols, four images, eight trigrams, six paths...
Everyone present saw it, and even Xuan Yan and Xuan Yi showed excitement.
Taoism's truly supreme inheritance!
Su Changqing didn't hold back from harming himself to leave Taoism a corner of time-space.
Though this corner is weak and cannot be used against enemies.
Its evolving function is completely normal and can be used to comprehend Taoism's entire inheritance of cultivation techniques through time-space Tai Chi evolution!
This Tai Chi time-space diagram is even more important than the power of time!
This is truly Taoism's supreme treasure!
Without hesitation, all the elders present, led by Xuan Yi, looked at the pale Su Changqing and bowed ceremoniously.
"We thank the Vice Sect Leader for this grace!"
Su Changqing smiled at the sight, looking towards Xuan Yan, speaking:
"Senior, may I trouble you to escort me?"
Xuan Yan nodded, waved his large sleeve, and directly took Su Changqing away from this place, heading straight for Central Province.
...
"Chang Qing might become a demon..."
Watching Su Changqing's departing figure, Xuan Yi murmured, "What a ridiculous joke."
He hadn't known Su Changqing for long.
But in just these few days, he, like Xuan Yan, was conquered by the other's charismatic personality.
Knowing it might be a deadly mission, yet still risking his safety to rescue the Holy Academy.
Aware of imminent danger, he doesn't hesitate to harm himself to leave Taoism's inheritance.
Even back then, risking exposure of his dark spirit identity to save the mainland's Dao Platform, blessing the world...
All these instances prove Su Changqing's deep sentiment and inherent goodness.
But the result...
Such a person turns out to be against the world!
Xuan Yi felt a mounting fury within his heart.
The anger was due to the injustice towards Su Changqing, and the outrage against all of humanity!
"This world... should not be this way."
Xuan Yi gazed towards the sky for a long time, then looked at Xuan Qingzi beside him, bowing in ceremony:
"Little Master Uncle, can you divinate once?"
Xuan Qingzi remained silent for a moment, then spoke: "I have already divined."
"What is the divination sign?"
Xuan Qingzi's expression grew heavier, slowly speaking,
"Extremely dire!"
Xuan Yi's expression didn't change, as if he already knew.
After a while, he looked up at Xuan Qingzi, smiled, and said:
"It seems Little Master Uncle's divine calculations aren't complete; this divination..."
"I believe it's inaccurate!"
With those words, the Profound Pure Sect's ever-cautious Sect Leader displayed a sharp and fierce demeanor.
He turned to look at the many elders present, shouting powerfully,
"Gather the seventy-two Grotto Heavens of Taoism, thirty-six residences, twelve major schools!"
"Within an hour, I want to see all their elders and sect leaders. Those absent will be slain!"
A murderous intent instantly surged skyward.
The many elders present uttered no idle words, each soaring skyward and disappearing from sight.
Xuan Yi slowly lifted his head, looking in the direction of Central Province, his eyes filled with endless malice, murmuring,
"Our Taoism Vice Sect Leader is not someone just anyone can touch!"
...
In Central Province City, atop the literature platform.
After three days, among the young generation of Confucian cultivators, only a mere ten remained.
These ten, without exception, were all Literary Arena hero-level powerhouses of the moment.
However, this scene left the crowd from the Holy Academy silent.
Because among those ten, only Ling Si belonged to the Confucian Immortal lineage.
While the others all sided with the grand Confucian court.
"Haha, next is the competition of Confucian Dao prowess."
