Chapter 1 The Violet Star

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Violet starlight descended from the sky, landing upon Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, a violet star appeared above Lu Changsheng's head, manifesting all sorts of divine objects: writing brushes, scrolls, jade books, ancient zithers, lutes, chessboards, and other sacred artifacts, radiating a terrifying scholarly aura.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Wenqu Star (Spirit Star of Literature) trembled, its sound echoing for millions of miles, audible throughout the entire Great Domain.

"The Wenqu Star stirred six times, the makings of a half-sage!" Li Zheng exclaimed in astonishment. They were scholars, cultivating Righteous Qi and scholarly spirit.

The Wenqu Star was the star that tested the qualifications of scholars.

If a great Confucian scholar was born in the world, the Wenqu Star would stir three times to acknowledge and represent the status of the great Confucian scholar.

But six stirs meant the birth of a half-sage, destined to become one in the future, unchangeable.

However, just as Li Zheng finished speaking,

In an instant, the Wenqu Star trembled once more.

"Boom!"

"Seven stirs, a quasi-sage!" Zhao Chun cried out.

Seven stirs of the Wenqu Star signified a quasi-sage, one foot into the realm of a Literary Saint, a teacher of all scholars in the world.

"Boom!"

However, a scene that stunned countless people appeared.

Another loud crash.

This crash was accompanied by a sky full of violet aura, surrounding the Great Luo Holy Land. At the same time, the sound spread throughout the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, leaving countless people at a loss for words.

"A quasi-sage of the Human Race, is another quasi-sage about to emerge from our lineage of scholars?"

"A quasi-sage, a teacher to the world, a teacher to us scholars!"

People discussed, utterly shocked.

"Boom!"

However, at the final moment.

The violet light that covered the heavens and earth engulfed Zhongzhou.

There was silence between heaven and earth.

The Wenqu Star stirred nine times.

An event difficult to occur throughout history, only when a scholar truly became a sage could the Wenqu Star stir nine times.

And at this moment, a terrifying violet light poured into Lu Changsheng's body.

Figures appeared behind Lu Changsheng, some holding scriptures, some observing the stars, some gazing at the common people.

"The Wenqu Star stirred nine times, the makings of a sage! This person is the teacher of emperors, hiss!"

Can Qi cried out in disbelief as he watched all this.

They were all contemporary great Confucian scholars, each a renowned figure. When they became great Confucian scholars, the Wenqu Star stirred three times, and their names spread throughout the world.

But today, the Wenqu Star stirred nine times.

The last sound, like a thunderclap, echoed throughout the Xianxia world.

Forces from all sides were completely and utterly shocked at this moment.

He had not yet become a sage, yet he had already caused the Wenqu Star to stir nine times. If he became a sage, how terrifying would that be?

"We pay our respects to the Literary Saint!"

"We pay our respects to the Literary Saint!"

"We pay our respects to the Literary Saint!"

At this moment, Li Zheng and others no longer knew how to describe it; they knelt on the ground, devout beyond compare.

At this moment, from the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty, a loud voice was heard.

"I am Zhu Zhan, on behalf of the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty, I pay my respects to the Literary Saint and will honor him as the Imperial Teacher of the Sun and Moon from now on."

The voice resounded. This was the current Emperor of the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty, one of the three great dynasties of Zhongzhou, incomparably honorable, and in a sense, no weaker than the Great Luo Holy Land.

"I am Zhou Yuan, on behalf of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, I pay my respects to the Literary Saint and will honor him as the Imperial Teacher of the Great Zhou from now on."

In an instant, the voice of the current Emperor of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty also appeared, following closely behind.

"I am Qian Qing, on behalf of the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty, I pay my respects to the Literary Saint and will honor him as the Imperial Teacher of the Great Qian from now on."

The three great dynasties of Zhongzhou, at the same moment, paid homage to Lu Changsheng as the Literary Saint, and at the same time directly honored Lu Changsheng as their Imperial Teacher.

Teacher of Emperors, Literary Saint of the World.

This honor could be said to be supreme.

In other words, if Lu Changsheng were to come to these three great dynasties in the future, his nobility would be equal to that of the emperors. Even princes and generals would have to respectfully address Lu Changsheng as Imperial Teacher upon seeing him.

It was that exaggerated.

And on the Altar of Heaven,

Lu Changsheng was a little confused.

He had just recited a few poems, so why were they running over to call him teacher?

Did calling him teacher mean they wouldn't give him money?

Among mortals, when a teacher accepted a student, the student still had to give dried sausages and fruits. Were they not embarrassed to come empty-handed?

Taking another look at the special effects above his head, Lu Changsheng was already used to it.

Over the years, no matter what he did, as long as he did it even slightly well, it would attract celestial phenomena.

Even breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm could attract such celestial phenomena. If he spoke a few words of the Great Dao and there were no special effects, that would be strange.

He turned his gaze to Qingyun Daoist, his meaning simple.

Time was up, it was time to get off work.

The latter instantly noticed Lu Changsheng's gaze and understood what Lu Changsheng meant.

He immediately returned a look to Lu Changsheng and then said, "The Heaven Worship Ceremony is over!"

As the voice sounded, Lu Changsheng turned and left.

He had finished showing off and it was time to go back.

Going back to properly study his own pill formulas was the kingly way.

These flashy things were all fleeting clouds.

However, as Lu Changsheng turned to leave,

Li Zheng's voice rang out again.

"Teacher, please wait."

As the voice sounded, Lu Changsheng turned his head. He could not see Li Zheng, but he could hear his voice.

And Li Zheng could see Lu Changsheng turn around, and immediately knelt on the ground, reverently saying.

"Teacher, this student, Li Zheng, has recently had countless confusions, disrupting this student's mind, so that this student has never been able to truly step into the realm of a Great Confucian Scholar. I implore the teacher to bestow guidance! This student will certainly erect a longevity tablet for the teacher, generation after generation, to worship the teacher."

Li Zheng knelt on the ground, speaking of his confusion, begging Lu Changsheng for guidance.

However, Lu Changsheng himself was a little confused.

Bestow guidance?

Bestow what guidance?

He didn't even understand cultivating immortality himself, so how could he teach them?

Others couldn't understand the inner吐槽.

People could only see that Lu Changsheng was surrounded by violet-gold, incomparably noble, his peerless and transcendent temperament was even more admirable.

"What is your confusion?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"This student cannot truly establish himself in the realm of a Great Confucian Scholar, this is the confusion, this student does not know where the Dharma lies."

Li Zheng asked in this way, utterly reverent.

Where does the Dharma lie?

Many people couldn't help but feel confused.

This question was a bit profound and unpredictable.

"The Dharma is everywhere."

Lu Changsheng replied, he didn't know where the Dharma was either, he could only say nonsense.

However, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Zheng even frowned and pondered to himself.

"The Dharma is everywhere, then who is the teacher?"

Li Zheng asked again.

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

He felt that this person was so annoying.

But in order to maintain the demeanor of his Eldest Senior Brother, he could only calmly reply.

"All things are teachers."

Lu Changsheng could only continue to make it up.

However, as soon as these words were spoken,

Li Zheng was instantly stunned.

He sat in place, lost in thought.

And Lu Changsheng also turned and left, going back to rest.

After an incense stick of time.

Suddenly.

A wave of scholarly aura permeated the air.

Violet Qi surrounded Li Zheng.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Wenqu Star trembled five times.

The terrifying violet scholarly aura landed on Li Zheng.

Those around, seeing this scene, revealed expressions of incomparable astonishment.

"A Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth! A Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth! Li Zheng has broken through to become a Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth!"

"He has understood, he has understood, recognized by Heaven and Earth, becoming a Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth, another step forward, and he will be a Virtual Sage."

"Hiss! The Literary Saint is indeed the Literary Saint, with just eight words, he allowed Li Zheng to successfully understand the Dharma! Becoming a Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth."

Everyone marveled, Zhao Chun, Can Qi, Hua Zhong and other great Confucian scholars were completely and utterly amazed.

Because Lu Changsheng had only answered with nine words.

But it allowed Li Zheng to successfully comprehend the Dao, and advance to become a Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Li Zheng revealed a look of joy, revealing a kind of relieved joy.

"I have understood, I have understood! The Dharma is everywhere, all things are teachers, thank you teacher for bestowing the Dharma! Thank you teacher for bestowing the Dharma! Hahahahaha!"

"Thank you teacher for bestowing the Dharma!"

Li Zheng laughed loudly.

Scholarly Qi soared into the sky.

Recognized by Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, countless people were shocked, including the Great Luo disciples, who were also shocked one by one.

With just nine words, Li Zheng became a Great Confucian Scholar of Heaven and Earth.

This kind of strength.

It was simply...terrifyingly vast.
