Qidi, Linzi.

Located on this ancient land, the divine blood regime named Jiang Qi has been ruling for a long time.

As the king of Jiang Qi who was once suspected of having obtained the authority of the divine ‘Shang’, he was an ancient and mysterious powerful being.

Descendants of divine blood claim to be born extraordinary, but few people would lower their gaze to ordinary people, let alone the king of divine blood who stands at the top of this class.

However, Jiang Qi is an exception.

In an era when the rule of the divine blood has lasted for thousands of years, hundreds of schools of thought belonging to ordinary people are gradually emerging.

It is different from other ancient suspicions, conflicts, indifference, or indifference.

Lord Jiang Qi chose to accept and ask for advice.

He seemed like an alien.

According to legend, when Master and Jixia offered wine to Meng Ke, they were preaching Confucianism in the vast land of Qi.

The King of Jiang Qi, who stood at the head of Qi's officials and was one of the oldest, actually issued an edict to build a school in the capital of Qi, under the gate of Linzi.

A school that can support ordinary people in their search for extraordinary ways.

Even though this move caused an uproar and made the noble officials and descendants of the divine blood of the gentry class feel shocked and ridiculous, the master of Qi Di still made this decision despite all opinions.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Just like when he used his dignity as a divine-blooded monarch to invite Confucius and Meng Ke, two Confucian figures who carried the cauldron, to settle in Jixia.

This is a shocking thing.

And on this day, under the mulberry elm tree, the Master suddenly realized the truth.

Linzi is on the Qi ground, and Qi Palace is in the center.

After crossing the majestic white jade avenue, crossing the dancing pavilion high-rise buildings on both sides, and after the noble and luxurious halls.

In the main hall, Jiang Qi's master, the ancient king of divine blood, stood up from the mysterious ancient rhyme table, with his hands behind his back and his eyes dim and unclear:

"Master has become enlightened."

His tone was calm and his brows furrowed slightly:

"Hundreds of schools of thought have been searching for the Tao for hundreds of years, and finally someone has achieved it to a level that can stand shoulder to shoulder with us."

"This proves that the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people are no less than those of the brilliant Xuan Shang back then!"

"Gu's guess is correct."

The stalwart figure raised his palm.

He looked at the coquettish divine blood flowing under the pale skin, exuding the aura of decay and decay. The gentleness and elegance that originally appeared on the surface no longer existed.

His eyes, covered by hair, exuded a dangerous color.

"Time is running out."

The monarch on the ground walked for a moment, returned to his throne, closed his eyes slightly, and tapped the back of the chair with his fingers:

"Go and convey the message for Gu."

"If you find the master, if you can't see him, go to Jixia and ask Meng Ke to come forward and ask him to find the master. You must let that man come here to see the orphan in the palace of Qi."

"I want to discuss with him the true Confucian road, or other possible roads, instead of the useless theories put on the surface by hundreds of schools of thought!"

As Lord Jiang Qi finished speaking, a dark shadow swayed in the hall.

It was a withered figure wrapped in bandages. His blood was soaked from it, exuding a pungent fishy smell. Only two pupils that glowed red were still exposed.

"I will obey the king's orders."

"promise!"

This is the nobleman blessed by the king of Jiang Qi with his divine blood.

They can share the glory of Jiang Qi's divine blood. Even the descendants of Gongqing who have other divine blood flowing through their veins do not dare to be presumptuous when they see this 'Blood Shadow Guard'.

Because they are the shadow of the master of Qi. Seeing this "shadow" is equivalent to seeing Lord Qi face to face.

Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world and go against these people?

When the breath of the bandaged blood shadow disappeared without a trace, the king of Qi breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Master, Meng Ke, hundreds of schools of thought."

"I asked you back then to open up a place for academic debate that you can't find anywhere else in the world. I didn't just leave you with nothing to eat."

"Understand the truth from the doctrine and find the extraordinary?"

"Just relying on the so-called benevolence of Confucianism and the righteousness of Mohists, what kind of power can you realize!"

"I have been waiting for more than a hundred years until your master became enlightened."

"You need to know that Gudang can't wait any longer."

His head was lowered and his hands were slowly clenched.

"Don't give me what I need anymore."

"It belongs to all your families, the last pure land of ordinary people, and I can make it disappear!"

Ji Qiu walked in Linzi City and headed towards Jixia.

Not so long ago.

He once met the sage who established the Confucian lineage, and had a discussion with him on the banks of the Zi River.

Even now, the Master has not yet reached the Dacheng School, and he is not yet known as the ‘Dacheng Sage Master’, a prominent figure in hundreds of schools of thought, and a figure with a Confucian pedigree.

But it is an honor to witness with one's own eyes the history written in the second generation of ancient history.

Follow His guidance.

Ji Qiu was recommended by his master.

Now, he is going to Jixia to witness the academic pinnacle of ordinary people in this era. It is also one of the holy places of the human race that is at the forefront of the path to the extraordinary.

Confucian benevolence, Mohist righteousness!

The rules and principles of the Legalists, the blood and struggle of the military strategists!

There is also the Tao that has not yet formed a complete system and is still weak.

In the years to come, these founders of the Taoist tradition and preachers among the disciples will soar to the sky, perfecting their doctrines one after another, attaining their own way, and becoming the most dazzling sages of this era!

And what Ji Qiu wants to do.

Just join them, become them, even

Lead them and surpass them!

Let this decadent era be reborn!

Ji Qiu stepped into Linzi and walked on both sides of the stone path piled with stones.

Passing through both sides of the road, he witnessed the appearance of this era, unique to the marketplace.

Tent shops have been set up as far as the eye can see.

Ordinary people who stay in front and purchase goods.

Because the land is close to the sea, a lot of firewood is cut to cook salt, so there is a fishy smell mixed with fish and salt.

Here, there are no descendants of divine blood, only ordinary people who are busy running around for their daily livelihood.

And the nobles they support do not live in this outer city.

Their residence, in the high-upward inner city, is a magnificent residence filled with mystery and ancient formations.

In other words, that is the real Linzi, the real capital of Qi.

However, the inner city with its tall palaces and pavilions is not where Ji Qiu is going now.

After passing the simple tents and wooden houses, Ji Qiu stopped in front of a huge building complex built outside the outer city gate at the end of the road.

This place is called Jixia.

And this building is——

Jixia Academy!

The wall was built with black bricks and blue tiles, and the materials used were all excellent, and the construction techniques were extremely clever. It must have been planned by an expert before it was built.

Two white jade stone tablets, carved from white jade and measuring several feet tall, stand on both sides of the gate of the academy.

On it, there are people offering wine in the academy, Meng Ke, the great Confucian sage, and Mo Zhai, the leader of Mohists who adhere to the Ten Commandments, writing on each other.

The former writes about "passing down the scriptures and meanings of hundreds of schools of thought and lighting up the beacon for eternity", while the latter describes "promoting the benefits of the world and eliminating the harms of the world".

There are only a few words in these two articles, but the meaning they want to express is clearly revealed.

Walking up the stone steps, in front of the door, the young man in coarse cloth opened the door.

At that moment, it was as if a new world had opened.
