Qing Hong and Mister Xun caught up to the heavenly ship. There were many disturbances along the way, and evil gods appeared frequently. However, Shen Jun of the Five Poisons was secretly escorting them, and they arrived at Qi safely.
Qi Wang personally welcomed them on the outskirts. Both sides were decorated with lanterns and banners.
"I saw the purple aura coming from the east and know that Virtuous Paragons and Exalted Immortals have arrived. I brought people to welcome you."
The immortals and Confucians disembarked and greeted Qi Wang. Qing Hong smiled. "Qi Wang has the mandate of heaven and will be the future True Dragon. There's no need for formalities."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Qi Wang humbly welcomed everyone into the Immortals Welcoming Platform.
The Immortals Welcoming Platform was a nine-storied platform that occupied 90 square feet. Qi Wang had sent refugees to build it. Although it was not as magnificent as the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty's Golden Jade Immortal Platform, it had its own charm and was exquisite.
The immortals walked down from the platform and sized up Qi Wang. With Tushan's help, Qi Wang had recovered his memories from his previous life. His every movement had the bearing of an emperor, and everyone nodded in approval.
"He is indeed the Son of Heaven and a True Dragon. Looks like we have won this battle."
"I believe everyone is tired. I will send someone to invite everyone to rest first. I will hold a banquet to welcome you later."
Qi Wang sent local cultivators to bring the immortals to a reed canopy. A few courtiers led Yan Rui and the rest to a nearby grass hut. These courtiers were mostly from the Confucian school and had a master-disciple relationship with the Confucians. Yan Rui and the rest settled their families and began to inquire about Qi's customs, considering whether to become an official.
As for Qi Wang, he and Qing Hong stood on the nine-storied platform to discuss the future.
On the platform, they looked down at the mountains and rivers of Qi. Qing Hong said, "Tushan has helped me all these years. Qi's preparations are almost done. In a few days, I will choose an auspicious time to confer the capital and become Emperor."
"So soon?" Qi Wang looked hesitant. "Exalted One, you know my background. Qi's foundation is shallow now. I'm afraid it doesn't have the conditions to become Emperor. "
Conferring the title of King was nothing more than inheriting the ancient system and borrowing the fate of the ancient dynasty to become a vassal lord. But becoming Emperor was different. Only one Sovereign Personage could be born in each continent. One had to conform to the natural luck of the world.
However, Qing Hong's attitude was firm. "I must be crowned emperor now. Only in this way could the gods rush over to help. If you are late by one step, the other rebel kings will become Martial Emperors. If you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind at every step. "
Qing Hong had already sensed the actions of those evil gods. Although the other rebellious kings were supported by the Supreme Dao lineage, now that they had established their own sects, how could they easily submit to King Qi? In the future, there would probably be an internal strife.
"However, the Netherworld Blessed Lands are still sealed by the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty, and the nation's luck with the dragon vein is weak …" Emperor Qi had the memories of his previous life and understood the various taboos involved. Now that he was the Thearch, it would be very difficult to gather the Dragon Qi from all directions. A flaw would also appear in the Netherworld's Futian Dragon Court, and it would be easily conquered by the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll also search for a portion of Dragon Energy for you to successfully ascend to the throne. As for the blessings of the netherworld, Hell wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing. Also, when you get back, ask Qin Wu and the others to help you find a dragon vein to use as a mausoleum. I believe they will be able to fulfill all the requirements. You can rest assured! "
As for now, Qing Hong still had to work on the establishment of the Confucian Community. After informing Emperor Qi and asking him to start preparing, Qing Hong went to find Yan Rui and the rest.
Yan Rui and the rest had just settled their families, and the five great scholars were discussing whether they should become officials in the Kingdom of Qi.
Because of his family feud, Shen Lianxing decided to become an official and help the Kingdom of Qi defeat Da Hong.
"I say, what are you hesitating for? Now that you are at odds with Da Hong, what are you waiting for? Let's become officials and help the Kingdom of Qi unify the divine continent. Isn't that good? "
"Although Da Hong's days are numbered, we are still the subjects of Da Hong. If we personally send troops to suppress him, it will be a loss of face, "a great scholar said hesitantly. "My plan is to hide from the chaos of war in the land of Qi and educate people. That way, my life's work won't be in vain."
"That's right." Another great scholar, Wang Xiang, said, "If we become officials, it will be easy for people to criticize us. We might as well be strategists behind the scenes and help come up with strategies. However, let's forget about becoming an official. "
The few great scholars had different opinions, and Yan Rui also hesitated. Coincidentally, Qing Hong arrived, so he called them over.
"Come with me."
Qing Hong took out the Confucian School's Sanda Fan and secretly used the Great Dao Xuan Map to activate the Righteous Qi. He was like a sage of the Confucian sect. "Now that the true teachings of Confucianism have been destroyed by the Da Hong Imperial Dynasty, I want to rebuild the Confucian Community in the land of Qi. Come and watch the ceremony."
Bringing the five great scholars, Qing Hong found an empty space a mile away from the Immortals Welcoming Platform.
He was originally entrusted by the 72 sages of the Confucian School to pass down the true teachings of Confucianism on their behalf. Now, he executed his divine arts and spells, waved the feather fan in his hand, and a large tree rose from the ground.
Three ancient seal scripts appeared on the long feather fan. They were the words "benevolence," "wisdom," and "courage."
"Sanda Fan, benevolence has no worries, wisdom has no doubts, and courage has no fear. Now, I will add the Dao of Righteousness and Dao of Faith to rebuild the Confucian sect. "
Outside the three long feathers, a purple aura rose and transformed into another two feathers, on which there were two large characters, 'Xin' and 'Yi'. As Qing Hong waved the fan, countless scriptures appeared on the tree, and colorful branches grew out.
"This fellow really likes to use a fan."
In the distance, Qin Wu and Du Yue stood together and watched. When Qing Hong established the Confucian sect, they had sensed it and secretly watched over him to protect him.
They saw Qing Hong recite scriptures, and the tree and the Confucian sect's providence in the Sanda Fan fused, becoming a supreme spirit root that suppressed the providence of the Confucian sect. This tree was the Righteous Wood. Its branches were like pine and cypress, and its roots were like ancient banyan trees. The treasure tree shone brightly, and a Confucian scripture appeared on every leaf, symbolizing the most fundamental teachings of the Confucian sect.
Yan Rui and the others stood beneath the tree, their Confucian Hearts trembling as they sensed the boundless righteousness above the tree's crown connecting to heaven and earth. It was as if their minds had fused with the tree, allowing them to comprehend the most fundamental scriptures of the Confucian sect.
On the other hand, although Qing Hong had been entrusted with this task by the Confucian sages, he couldn't comprehend its profundities. He was merely an inheritor, just like the Grand Palace Master and the Most Holy Master.
"Rise!" Qing Hong waved his fan again, and five more trees sprouted from the tree's roots. As the saying goes, a single tree makes a forest. This Confucian tree was the symbol of the Confucian sect's roots, but as each Confucian disciple acknowledged it, the tree would naturally give birth to new trees that symbolized the Confucian heart of the disciples.
Yan Rui and the others first merged with the ancestral tree and established their own Confucian Trees in this desolate "Confucian Forest". According to their conduct, the trees would be peaches, plums, pines, cypresses, bitter bamboo, willows, and so on.
"The Confucian Forest requires all Confucian disciples to establish their own Confucian Treasured Tree. Only then can it be considered complete." Qing Hong pointed with his finger, and an Innate Divine Light appeared from the land of Qi, manifesting the Confucian hearts of all the Qi disciples in the Confucian Forest, forming saplings of various sizes. There were only two or three great Confucians like Yan Rui and the others in Qi. The trees were as thick as buckets, and it would take several people to encircle them. The canopy was lush with leaves, and there was a boundless Confucian Qi hanging down like pearls. Most of the Confucian students only cultivated Righteous Qi, forming a slender sapling in the forest that was comparable to the Exuvia realm.
"The Confucian Sect is really pitiful. Now, there are only a few hundred Confucian students with Righteousness in the entire land of Qi. "Du Yue shook his head as he looked at the sparse saplings in the forest. There were tens of thousands of Confucian students in Qi, but most of them couldn't cultivate Righteousness. Their Confucian Hearts were merely grass in the Confucian Forest, forming a lawn.
From afar, the Confucian Forest looked like a huge banyan forest, and the ancestral tree that Qing Hong evolved covered the entire forest.
"In the future, if you are not willing to become an official, you can study in the Confucian Forest. Cultivate Confucian students and expand the Confucian Sect. "
The Confucian Forest was built, and the Confucian Qi rose in the forest. There was an auspicious Qilin hidden in the forest, and it left a great fate for Qing Hong. In the Great Hong Dragon Court, the Confucian sacred ground that was suppressed by the Thirty-Three Heavens suddenly exploded, and a rainbow light shot into the human world and landed in the Confucian Forest, officially recognizing this branch as the new ancestral court of the Confucian Sect.
Seeing this, Yan Rui and the others truly submitted. Even Shen Lianxing had to admit that the future ancestral court of the Confucian Sect was in Qi. Only when Qi thrived could the Confucian Sect prosper.
Wang Xiang saw this and immediately bowed to Qing Hong, "Greetings, teacher. I'm willing to study Confucianism with you in the Confucian Forest. "
"Cultivate one's moral character, rule the country, and rule the world." Yan Rui bowed deeply, "I'm willing to become an official in Qi, and rule the world with Confucianism."
After that, Shen Lianxing and the others also expressed their opinions. Some were willing to become officials in Qi, and some were willing to educate here.
"The way of the Confucian Sect is to educate. Be it ruling the country or teaching, it's all about educating people. In the future, I'll leave an incarnation here to explain Confucianism every day. "
With that, Qing Hong got up and left. At the place where he was sitting, the shadow flashed with white light and turned into a Confucian dressed like a scholar. He held the Fan of Five Virtues and explained the Confucian Scriptures.
However, he did not just talk about Xuanzheng Chau Confucianism. He also talked about the contents of the Pre-Qin Confucianism on Earth. After he integrated them, he formed a new concept of Confucianism.
With benevolence, righteousness, courage, wisdom, and trust as the core, he advocated the Confucian Way of Education. I can teach and educate people, and manage and cultivate. I can rule the country and rule the world.
The word 'righteousness' is everlasting, and the strength of character is everlasting. The brave are fearless, and the righteousness is inextinguishable. With benevolence as the foundation, wisdom as the priority, and trust as the defense, this was the Confucian Sect that Qing Hong had revised.
The Confucian Sect was established, and there was morality above the heavens. With the purple Qi hanging down, Qing Hong's heavenly blessing increased. There was also a certain consciousness that favored him. The Noble Qi of heaven and earth turned into a purple-green canopy above his head. He was like a Confucian sage who could avoid evil. Even the Ground Fairies of Xuanmen could not break it easily because of the Confucian fate. If he met You Imperial Concubine again, with the protection of the righteousness canopy, he would not be afraid of the Xuan River.
In the Dragon Court of the Underworld, the Emperor of Jiuyang had an ugly expression on his face. However, the Confucian sacred ground was also taught by a Connate Great Sage. The Great Sage turned into Xuanzheng Chau and turned into a sage to open the Confucian Sect. However, he had already violated the taboo by taking the opportunity to snatch Xuanzheng Chau. To prevent the Connate Great Sage from going against him, he could only pretend that he did not know.
"Now, the Confucian fate has gathered in the Confucian Forest, and there is a faint purple Qi in the sky, attracting that person's attention. I can't easily make a move to avoid making enemies again. However, even if the Qi Kingdom obtained part of the Confucian orthodoxy, as long as it doesn't unify the land within nine years. At that time, the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty will still win. At that time, I just need to recruit the Confucian Forest. I don't think these spineless Confucian scholars would dare to complain about a unified imperial dynasty. "
However, Qing Hong added "trust" to the Confucian Sect. If those who surrendered really appeared, how would he have the face to establish the Confucian Sect?
If the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty really destroyed the Qi Kingdom, there would probably be a group of people who would sacrifice themselves for the Dao in the Confucian Forest. At that time, the Nine Yang Emperor and the Great Sage of the Confucian Sect would have an even greater grudge.
When the Qi King learned that a Confucian Forest had appeared in the suburbs, he also understood that Qing Hong had started to make a move to help him accumulate popularity and win over the hearts of the Confucian scholars.
After a moment of silence, he ordered, "Men, gather the people and build three temples according to the orders of I. I will give you the blueprints of the three temples later. Remember to follow the old rules and let the refugees work to earn money for their meals. "
The people of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty were destitute and homeless. The land of Qi accepted many refugees because the people were happy. According to the rules of the Qi Kingdom, the refugees built all kinds of facilities in exchange for the solar eclipse and a monthly salary.
Soon, the Qi King and his ministers took action. Yan Rui and Shen Lianxing led a group of Confucian scholars to become officials, and the system of the Qi Kingdom's imperial court was immediately set up.
Seeing that the land of Qi was gradually on the right track, Qing Hong was finally relieved. "The next step is to obtain the Dragon Qi for the Qi King. Coincidentally, he is near my blessed land. I will send Taiyin Celestial friend back and let Tongqing and the rest avoid calamity." After thinking about it, Qing Hong brought Mister Xun, Tongqing and his wife, Little Ling 'er, Qiao Yuan, and Taiyin Celestial Taiyin to the blessed land of the Four Saints.
