Chapter 1278 - Sage
"People in the world just talk about the world's affairs, do whatever you want, never be false but be true!" the mysterious Confucian Immortal said in a deep voice.
"It's absolutely true! Hahaha, it turns out to be you Lin Hongfu. It seems that you guys are unwilling to be lonely!" After hearing this, the Taoist True Immortal finally identified this mysterious Confucian True Immortal. identity.
A powerful man from the sixth level of the True Immortal of the Confucian lineage, the great scholar Lin Hongfu.
Among Confucianism, only Emperor Wenchang is the heart sage who has proven to be the Taoist realm. The strongest among the other Confucian disciples are only at the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm.
Among the many powerful Confucian figures in the sixth level of the True Immortal, there is one who is particularly famous, and that is Lin Hongfu, known as Wenling layman.
This Lin Hongfu once practiced the Way of Mind Learning under the Heart Saint Emperor Wenchang. He can be said to be the most outstanding disciple of Emperor Wenchang. His attainments in Mind Learning are extraordinary and he is famous. The great Confucian scholar passed down to the world is known as the being who can inherit the mantle of Emperor Wenchang.
Of course, there are countless powerful people in this world, even the direct disciples of Daojun. Even as a disciple of Daojun, his reputation is only spread within a small area. If he wants to gain a real reputation, To spread the word to the world, ultimately it depends on oneself.
This is the case with Lin Hongfu. As a direct disciple of Emperor Wenchang and a great scholar in the lineage of spiritual studies, he did not follow the path of the spiritual sage as many people thought, but instead embarked on a new path. Completely opposite paths to go.
Emperor Wenchang was born in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, he really reached the pinnacle of his life and became a very human minister, so he also devoted all his help to the Jade Emperor.
Even though the deal between the Jade Emperor and the Wumen lineage affected the sacrificial authority of Confucianism, Emperor Wenchang still didn't care about it and stood firmly on the side of the Jade Emperor, becoming a staunch supporter of the Jade Emperor.
The rapid development of the Jade Emperor's power over the years is inseparable from his own position and the strong support of Emperor Wenchang, a Taoist-level powerhouse.
However, as the direct disciple of Emperor Wenchang, even the most outstanding disciple, and a great scholar who was able to establish a sect in his heart, he did not approve of Emperor Wenchang's approach, and believed that Emperor Wenchang did not need to continue to support Yu. The emperor believed that they could be independent and not rely on the imperial power.
The master and the disciple have completely opposite ideas. Their attitudes towards the Jade Emperor are completely opposite and irreconcilable.
In the end, Lin Hongfu left the Heart Saint lineage and wandered around the world alone, becoming a unique being in Confucianism and one of the opponents of the Jade Emperor.
Especially for his attainments in the study of mind, he opened an academy in a short period of time and trained many disciples. They are all famous Confucian academies in the world and have countless outstanding disciples.
Although it is said that there is a disagreement with Xin Sheng, this is just a dispute of ideas after all. Neither Emperor Wenchang nor Lin Hongfu feels that it has affected the master-disciple relationship.
Therefore, the existence of a Dao Lord like Emperor Wenchang also allowed Lin Hongfu to avoid many dangers and rise rapidly. Now, he is only one step away from becoming a Dao Lord.
After this Taoist true immortal master confirmed Lin Hongfu's identity, he no longer felt that the other party was surprised, because this was natural.
Different from the lineage of Confucianism that supports the Jade Emperor, some strong Confucianists like Lin Hongfu believe that Confucianism should be evolved into the current three-party orthodoxy of magic, Taoism and Buddhism. They also no longer rely on the imperial power and stand in the world. Human race, independent.
Then they are in a conflict of interests with the three orthodox traditions of demons, Taoists, and Buddhas. After all, even though there are many creatures in the human race, there is only one path they can choose.
Human energy is limited after all. Every living being who can embark on spiritual practice and achieves something in practice is already a proud son of heaven. There is only one person among ten thousand who can become a true immortal. exist.
It is true that many people have truly achieved the number of fellow practitioners, and can reach the extreme in each path, but such people are very rare even among true immortals, and such existence is not They can influence.
For demons, Buddhists, and Confucians, the foundation of their Taoism is still in ordinary people. Only when these ordinary people choose their Tao can their Taoism take root in the human race and continue to develop, even if As time goes by, it still exists in heaven and earth.
When the Taoism is prosperous, the luck will be prosperous, which will also feed back to the strong ones in the Taoism. The addition of luck is enough to help them climb to higher and further realms.
Therefore, the battle for orthodoxy is truly endless. It is related to the interests of every practitioner, and there is absolutely no room for retreat.
Anyone else might not be qualified, but as strong men in the lineage of Confucian psychology, Lin Hongfu and the others were originally competitors with Mo Dao Buddha. As competitors, is it a problem to undermine each other? Not a problem at all.
This is a very common thing in Taoist competitions. As long as they don’t deliberately provoke Taojun, then the powerful Taojun will just smile and secretly say a few words or arrange a few words behind his back. In a small notebook.
If one day Lin Hongfu reaches the level of Dao Lord that many Dao Lords take seriously, then what happened today will be brought up.
Of course, if he doesn't even have Daojun's certification, Daojun won't care at all as long as he doesn't meet him face to face with such ant talk.
After all, would a true immortal care about the words of a mortal?
But the generosity of many Taoist monarchs is their kindness. As Taoist masters, they naturally cannot allow each other to talk nonsense. They must take action to maintain the majesty of the Taoist sect, otherwise the majesty of the Taoist sect will be destroyed. Where to put it.
“It turned out to be Wenling layman Lin Hongfu, the direct disciple of Emperor Wenchang!” A true immortal couldn’t help but exclaimed after hearing about the identity of the mysterious true immortal.
“The Great Confucian of Mind Learning, it is rumored that he has blazed his own path in the Mind Learning Path established by the Heart Sanctuary, and he can definitely start a sect and write books and biographies. There are even rumors that this person is only half the age. In just one step, you can reach the realm of ancient sages and develop your own theories." You Zhenxian thought of some rumors about Lin Hongfu and whispered.
The ancient sages are not simply a division of strength, but more of an existence whose realm and status are recognized by all parties. Even in today's world, countless strong men have stepped into the level of true immortals, even if they have left behind their own traditions and have countless disciples, they are still far from being called sages.
What the sages do is not only for themselves, but also for the entire human race, and is supported and respected by the entire human race.
Even if true immortals and Taoist masters can open up a fairy sect and have countless disciples, they can only educate a small number of people, and they cannot affect the entire human race at all.
The birth of a sage, their teachings, and the path they practice can be practiced by all human beings, and are beneficial to all human beings.
As far as veteran Tao Lords like Sword Emperor and Xuantian Dao Lord are concerned, in terms of pure combat power, there is no doubt that the strength of these two Dao Lords is at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, and they are enough to aspire to the top. The existence of ten.
But strong strength does not mean that he can be called a sage. After all, the blessings of Xuantian Daojun can only protect Xuantian's lineage, and are useless to other human races.
The Sword Emperor is slightly better. The Sword Sect is the holy place for sword cultivators in the whole world. Every once in a while, the Sword Emperor will open a forum to perform magic. However, in the end, it can only affect the sword cultivators, not the rest. For a strong swordsman, this does not mean much.
As for the powerful people in the world today, there are only two beings who can truly be called sages. One is the Immortal Taoist Pei Xuanjing, and the other is the Heart Saint Wenchang Emperor Bo'an.
The achievements of Taoist Master Changsheng naturally need no introduction. The birth of Simple Taoist Academy has opened up a path for countless human races and given them a chance to climb up. This has already benefited the entire human race. .
In addition, this immortal Taoist king often descends into the Taoist temple to preach and preach. He is familiar with all directions of Taoism and can give guidance to countless powerful people on their practice. He has no sectarian views and has countless magical powers. Being able to explain and teach all the techniques, he was naturally revered as a sage by countless people.
The same is true for Emperor Wenchang. Although Emperor Wenchang did not do as much as Emperor Taoist Changsheng, he just opened up the lineage of mind science and taught it without any sectarian opinions. He has created countless strong men. .
Cultivation is also self-cultivation, and it is not just about piling up resources to increase combat power. Except for those extreme existences of the demonic path, even the many monks who follow the extreme path are working tirelessly to improve themselves. When reaching the realm of combat power, they must also pay attention to their own spiritual realm. Only with a sufficient spiritual realm can they ensure that they master their own power and will not become a puppet of power and eventually lose themselves.
But it is so difficult to improve the spiritual power. For many monks, the treasures of heaven, materials and earth can accumulate their own realm combat power, but the improvement of spiritual power really requires comprehending the world and the world day by day. strengthen.
However, the emergence of Xin Xue Yiyi gave them a new method. According to the method taught by Xinsheng, although they cannot say that they have made much rapid progress, they can definitely rely on this alone. Slowly stabilize your mind and heart, so as not to sink.
Therefore, the emergence of mind science will undoubtedly provide convenience to practitioners in the world, which is beneficial to the human race.
Except for these two people, almost none of the many powerful Dao Lords and True Immortals in this human race can be revered as saints.
It is true that those strong men have made great achievements in pioneering the human race and have gone through fire and water for the human race. They are enough to be called heroes, but they are not called saints, because these two The meanings are completely different.
Now Lin Hongfu has embarked on a completely different path in the study of mind. If he can take a step further on this path and create a magical power or a path that can benefit the entire human race, then there will really be a chance. May be called a sage.
Of course, this step is so difficult. I don’t know how many strong people are trapped in this step in the end, unable to continue to complete their own path and reach the final destination.
And it is also because of its rarity that a possible existence like Lin Hongfu deserves the Tao Lord's attention and the true immortal's expectation.
Lin Hongfu noticed the changes in these people's eyes and expressions, but didn't say anything more.
The slightest difference is a thousand miles. He once thought that this step was very difficult, but after thousands of years of accumulation, he is still stuck in this step and cannot succeed. You can know how difficult it is. A tough one.
He knows that at this point in his path, there is not much possibility for progress. Even if his realm continues to improve, it is so difficult to find a complete path through innovation and innovation in the study of mind. difficult.
It is precisely because of this that he also understands how great his master was in being able to find his own path from Confucianism, and how insignificant his original pride was in front of his master.
But now that he has left, he naturally refuses to look back easily, especially since although he admires the master's greatness, he still cannot recognize the cooperation and support of the other party and the Jade Emperor. .
If it is the expectation between master and disciple to learn from the heart to be better than the master and to create a new path, then the recognition of the Jade Emperor is actually the real reason why they went astray.
"Although Xuandu Temple is a Taoist sect, its usual style is that idle clouds and wild cranes ignore worldly affairs. Now they no longer take care of these things." Lin Hongfu glanced lightly and said in a faint tone.
Others don’t know this Taoist Immortal. How could he not know the true identity of this Taoist Immortal?
The most mysterious and powerful top immortal sect of Taoism, Xuandu Guan, claims that each generation can only have three or five direct descendants, and in the end only one person can carry the mantle.
Although the birth of the True Immortal has allowed Xuandu Temple to recruit more disciples, and the ancestors of the past will no longer die, the competition among each generation of disciples in Xuandu Temple is still the most intense nowadays. Strong.
The most terrifying thing is the power of Xuandu Temple, because they have the smallest number of people among the top immortal sects. Even on average, the training resources obtained by each monk of Xuandu Temple are several times or even several times that of other top immortal sects. ten times.
Every one of Xuandu Guan’s disciples is a peerless genius. Without enough talent, they are not even qualified to become direct disciples. With such talents and resources, each generation of Xuandu Guan trained by Monks are almost invincible beings in the same realm.
However, Xuandu Guan has always been idle and uninvolved in the internal battles in China. Now that Xuandu Guan’s true immortal has spoken out, does it mean that Xuandu Guan’s attitude has changed?
If this is true, it is not necessarily known whether it will have an impact on other people, but for those on the Confucian side, there is no doubt that the pressure will double.
