Chapter 1193 - Extreme Purity, Extreme Kindness (1/2)
“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.
