Section 191

But the Old Soldier did extend a finger, placing it to his lips.

He let out a 'shush'.

Then, he pointed a finger towards the sky.

"Shush... don't say anything. Some entities are watching everything. They are searching."

"Searching... don't speak, don't say anything!!"

"Leave everything to the Venerable One!!"

The Old Soldier did not speak, but these meanings were revealed through his eyes.

Eight hundred Old Soldiers ascended to Heaven, only a few remnants returned to the human realm...

....

On Lingxiao Peak.

Su Zhou looked at Su Changsheng's small wooden house with a half-smile.

Leaving this matter to him was the most reassuring option.

This usually lazy fellow, once life is involved, even if only a trace, he will go crazy for it.

The fate of that taboo creature, falling into Su Changsheng's hands...

Even Su Zhou, who usually had an indifferent mind, felt a bit of pity for the other party.

He believed that with this fellow in Su Changsheng's hands, he would soon get a satisfactory result.

Then, Su Zhou heard the feedback from his previous investment in Su Yun.

"Ding!! Congratulations, Host, for a successful investment! Reward: Wen Dao Mountain!"

"Wen Dao Mountain: A Confucian Holy Land lost in the world, a Divine Mountain of the Dao of Literature. Anyone with Confucian cultivator Aptitude who can comprehend Confucian methods can comprehend the Confucian Dao on Wen Dao Mountain!"

"Ding!! Congratulations, Host, for a successful investment! Reward: Sword Tablet!"

"Sword Tablet: A divine object inherited from the Mythical Era, descended from the Grand Dao of Swords. It can enhance a Sword Cultivator's comprehension, purify Sword Intent, and increase the probability of clan members comprehending Sword Intent by 50%, comprehending Sword Heart by 5%, and comprehending Sword Realm by 0.0001%."

"Ding!! Congratulations, Host, for an investment reward! Reward: Xing Zi Secret!"

"Xing Zi Secret: A taboo technique! It can break all rules and restrictions on speed in the world, breaking through the limits of speed!"

Looking at the rewards before him.

Su Zhou nodded slightly.

These rewards would greatly help improve the strength of his clan members.

Although the Confucian Dao Legacy had been severed for many years, the power of Confucian cultivators was remembered by the world even after two epochs.

Confucian cultivators are invincible among peers, and their words become reality.

This statement was not false!

And Wen Dao Mountain, as an ancient Confucian Dao Holy Object, could enable those with Aptitude to comprehend the Confucian Dao and become Confucian cultivators, allowing the Confucian cultivators, who had not appeared for eons, to reappear in the human realm.

It seemed that the Legacy of the Confucian Dao would continue within the Su Family.

Su Zhou selected Wen Dao Mountain from his backpack.

He placed it in a corner of the Lingxiao Realm, which was also the location of Wan Dao Academy.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering anomaly.

A majestic mountain, surrounded by righteous Qi, emerged from the sky.

It slowly descended into the Su Family, and in an instant, waves of refreshing Confucian Dao Qi surged forth.

All clan members who felt this Qi felt their senses sharpen, and their comprehension and memory improved significantly.

More than thirty clan members, looking in the direction of Wen Dao Mountain, each felt something in their hearts.

The cunning strategist Su Xu stood in the distance, gazing at Wen Dao Mountain, but shook his head slightly.

"Xu does not need such honor from the Confucian school. Xu only seeks the Su Family's eternal prosperity, standing tall among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. All the infamy, I will bear alone!"

Su Xu was well aware of his actions over the years.

More than half of the reason why the Su Family instilled such fear in many families in the Northern Barren Region over the years was due to Su Xu's schemes.

Even the infamy of the Su Family from the outside world was borne by him.

Poisonous strategist, poisonous schemes—these titles had left their mark on him.

But... Su Xu did not care. He was a member of the Su Family. He only wanted the Su Family to stand above the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. As for the infamy in the human realm... he could bear it alone.

Confucian cultivator... that scholar with a feather fan and silk scarf, he did not long to be a Confucian cultivator, but his hands were stained with blood, how could he be worthy of a green robe?

Su Xu looked at the figures rushing towards Wen Dao Mountain, a trace of loss imperceptibly flashing in his eyes.

But very quickly, it reverted to his usual smiling demeanor.

"Let Confucian cultivator Su Xu remain hidden in dreams..." Su Xu thought to himself.!

And just then!

A gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"Under a grand scheme, plotting across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, a sea of blood and a pagoda of suffering, yet only one person dies."

"Is there such a plan?"

"Yes!" Su Xu replied, his gaze profound.

"Reconciliation?"

"The strategist offers his head, entering the game with his own body, using myself as bait to lure the world with profit and entice all beings..."

"This plan only requires one life... only my head!"

Su Xu said calmly.

He had long considered such a thought: if one day the Su Family became the enemy of the entire world, at a time of desperate last resort.

He, Su Xu, would use himself as bait, sacrifice himself to the All Heavens, instigate a sea of blood and a pagoda of suffering, taking all sins upon himself, and then only needing to die.

Then he could... break the situation.

Such a Confucian scholar offering his head!!

"Hahaha! In that case... you should enter Wen Dao Mountain!"

Buzz!

Then a brilliant light burst forth from Wen Dao Mountain, enveloping Su Xu.

The smile that had always hung on Su Xu's face abruptly vanished, and the mask-like smile was put away.

Then, the corners of his mouth turned up again.

It was a smile from the depths of his heart: "Confucian cultivator Su Xu... that sounds truly handsome!!"

Within Wan Dao Academy.

Little Su Yun walked step by step towards Wen Dao Mountain, and with each step, a figure appeared behind him, bowing deeply in the direction of Lingxiao Peak.

Seventy-two steps fell, seventy-two figures emerged, and then Su Yun stepped onto Wen Dao Mountain.

Then, a tall and majestic figure appeared on the peak of Wen Dao Mountain.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

The phantom of the Master bowed slightly towards Lingxiao Peak.

And those seventy-two figures, the Seventy-two Sages of Confucianism, also bowed in the same manner.

"Thank you, benefactor, may our Confucian Dao reappear in the human realm!"

Su Zhou stood at the summit of Lingxiao Peak, looking profoundly at Wen Dao Mountain.

Then he raised his hands, returning the bow to the Master.

"Confucianism has been gracious to all living beings..."

"Those who carry firewood for others should not freeze to death in the wind and rain!"

"This Confucian Legacy, our Su Family accepts!"

Su Zhou said solemnly.

Then, the Master's phantom and the Seventy-two Sages all smiled with relief.

Subsequently.

Their figures dissipated, and a light rain began to fall in the Small World.

Nourishing everything silently... the foundation of the entire Small World was elevated another level.

Looking at the Master's gift, Su Zhou sighed softly.

He now vaguely had some guesses; the Void Great Emperor, the Master Ascends to Heaven, the Ancient Chaos taboos—these complex matters seemed to have an invisible connection.
