"Its name is' reason ', and it should be the beginning of all laws!"
As Fang Yun finished speaking, the venue of the Saint Dao Scripture Conference was silent.
After a few moments, the venue was in an uproar. Countless scholars were discussing.
Among them, the ones who had the most intense reaction were the scholars of Jingguo. Especially where the members of Fang Yun's party were gathered, they were extremely agitated.
As for where Fang Yun's friends were, there were two completely opposite phenomena.
Some people's faces were flushed red, as if they were witnessing the birth of the Divine Path. Some people frowned as if the sky was about to fall.
Li Fanming slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I have no words to describe Fang Yun. Although Fang Yun's words are not as good as creating the Divine Path, as good as respecting the Heavenly Path, and as good as educating the people, it is a unique path. If this' reason 'is continuously expanded, even if it doesn't form the Divine Path, it will definitely greatly affect the Divine Path. "
"The beginning of all laws is too arrogant. However, our ancestors have always said that one should have great ambitions if they are determined. Fang Yun's words are definitely correct. This law is obviously not a law of Legalism. It is equivalent to techniques. Reason is the origin of all laws. The only pity is that this' reason 'should be newly created by Fang Yun. It is not perfect and is still in its embryonic state. "Zhang Zhixing could not help but sigh.
However, Zong Wude said, "Don't you think that Fang Yun is too daring?"
However, Yan Yukong smiled and said, "When Mo Ziguang took in disciples, he was not a Saint. How does this compare? When Lu Buwei said that he was a rare commodity, he was not a Saint. How does this compare? When Dong Zhongshu and Dong Sheng said that Emperor Wu of Han was not a Saint, how does this compare? "
Kong Delun nodded and said, "Brother Yukong's words make sense. Fang Yun did not create the Divine Path, so he could avoid making enemies on all sides. He also did not directly break it into a book, so there is not much risk. Fang Yun's words are closer to an idea and a direction. It is fine if it fails, but if it succeeds, it will lead to conflict. Fang Yun isn't even afraid of failure. If he succeeds, how many people in this world are worthy of Fang Yun's worries? "
However, Jia Jingan sighed, "Fang Yun's' reason 'is too high. It vaguely surpasses the Divine Path and points directly at the Heavenly Path. The stubborn disciples of the Confucian school will probably not give up on criticizing it."
Kong De Lun sneered and said, "Even my Kong Clan didn't stop them. What can those conservative bastards do if they come forward? Establishing a Dao for the human race was a great thing. It was normal for there to be disputes, and it didn't matter even if there were opposing sides. However, if there were despicable means to obstruct the Dao, would the Notre-Dame not exist? Moreover, Fang Yun has clearly chosen Legalism, which is flourishing with each passing day. Using Legalism as a foundation, he proposes' reason '. At least, before this' reason 'fails, Legalism will protect it at all costs. "
Yan Yukong nodded and said, "That's right. Whether it's' reason 'or the' natural law ', both are enough to drive legalists crazy. In my opinion, Legalism still doesn't have the heart for reason. They won't pay too much attention to it. Instead, they'll care more about the 'natural law' or the 'perfect law.' Fang Yun is really bold. He pierced through Legalism's dome with one sentence and opened up a new sky for it. The 'perfect law' is indeed superior to the current Legalism Saint Path. If we can study the perfect law, we can indeed expand the Saint Path and obtain unprecedented power. "
Han Shoulv chuckled and said, "You're right. As a Legalist, I don't actually care about higher reasons. I'm very interested in the perfect law. I can't wait to hear people discuss what a perfect law is and how to approach it. The Saint Path that Legalism has formed is only at the elementary level. Only after we have a certain understanding of the perfect law will our Saint Path be perfected. "
However, Yan Yukong's eyes were deep. He said, "What I care about the most is Fang Yun's' reason. 'I think everyone knows that Fang Yun has been studying this' reason 'for a long time. He's just only thrown it out now. The most likely possibility is that his' reason 'hasn't been fully formed yet. It's still being honed. This should be why his aura is clearly superior to Wen Zong's, but he's purposely suppressing his cultivation level. "
Some people didn't understand, but a few understood Yan Yukong's true intentions.
Kong Detian's expression changed. He said in shock, "No way. He wants to use this' reason 'to form the foundation of the Saint Path and build his path to becoming a Saint?"
Yan Yukong said, "If he doesn't use his body, who else can establish power at the level of the beginning of all laws? Which of the Saints who started their own schools didn't use their bodies to test the Dao? "
Li Fanming asked in confusion, "But what exactly is' reason '?"
No one could answer.
Yan Yukong thought for a while and asked with a smile, "What's the Heavenly Way?"
"The definition of the Heavenly Way is very complicated. There are many ways to say it. We can't define it accurately. After all, the Heavenly Way has its own mysteries … Oh, you mean that this' reason 'isn't just a' reason ', but something as complicated as the Heavenly Way?" Li Fanming asked.
Yan Yukong nodded and said, "The Divine Way is the limit of what we can describe with words. This is because the Divine Way is a limited existence. The Legalist Divine Way is the Legalist Divine Way. It can't contain the Confucian Divine Way. However, Fang Yun said that 'reason' is the beginning of all laws. This is obviously a level higher than a single Divine Way. "
"Let's not make wild guesses. Fang Yun probably can't tell us everything about 'reason.' He's probably thinking about it slowly. He'll only reveal it completely after he's mastered it," Kong Detian said.
The contents of the discussions were similar. Most of the Legalists focused on the Perfect Way. Most of the scholars cared more about what 'reason' was.
Everyone discussed for half an hour before Fang Yun coughed softly on the stage.
The venue quickly quieted down. Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I'm just suggesting a possibility for the Legalists to reach a higher level. Before me, other great scholars have suggested it as well. Therefore, don't read too much into 'reason.' As for the 'Natural Way' or the 'Perfect Way,' that's what I think is important. I'd like to briefly explain my understanding of the Perfect Way. Take it as a start. As for how the Perfect Way will turn out, it'll depend on those who major in the Legalists.
"We may not be able to define the Perfect Way now, but we can deduce some of the characteristics that make up the Perfect Way. For example, if it's Perfect, it must be righteous and not biased.
"The word 'righteous' is obviously a judgment that originates from morality. Therefore, our moral standards are still applicable in the Perfect Way.
"If it's Perfect, it must be correct.
"Moral judgments are often full of uncertainty. Therefore, sometimes, we have to use the Legalists' knowledge to determine whether it's correct or not, as long as it doesn't violate morality.
