Fang Sheng was blind!
The confirmed news spread throughout Saint Origin World as if it had grown wings.
The people of Gyeongo clapped their hands in joy. Many men also clapped their hands in joy. However, the women all over the world cried bitterly, thinking that Fang Yun had hurt himself for them.
After visiting Wang Jinglong and Chen Qingzhi, Fang Yun returned to the Spring Garden. He was drinking tea when he heard the news. If it wasn't for Half-saint's strong control, he would have spat out the Mist Divine Tea in his mouth.
Every drop of the Mist Divine Tea contained a complete tea leaf. Every tea leaf had a Mist Spirit sleeping on it. Every Mist Spirit was a complete divine herb.
Fang Yun shook his head and continued to drink tea while thinking.
At this time, Fang Yun didn't really rest. His sacred will was quickly recalling everything that had happened since he left Saint Origin World and entered the Ancient Sea Cliff Land.
Recalling once wasn't enough. Fang Yun had to repeatedly think about it.
Repeatedly thinking about it wasn't enough. In the world of literature, Fang Yun's divine will turned into words to record all the important things.
Just recording wasn't enough. Fang Yun also judged whether it was right or wrong, good or bad, whether there was a better choice, what he would do if he did it now, etc.
What happened in the past couldn't be changed. However, through what happened in the past, he could change the present and the future.
After the operation was completed, Fang Yun didn't stop after reflecting. Instead, he went to the third step, the conclusion.
His sacred will was fully activated. The powerful Saint Dao began to summarize what he had reflected on before, extracting various laws and rules. This changed Fang Yun's view on many things.
Only by innovating himself could he revolutionize the world.
Before he became a Saint, Fang Yun realized that he didn't pay enough attention to his own reformation. It was because he didn't have enough ability. It was also because he advanced too quickly and didn't have enough experience.
However, the immemorial era made up for this.
In the immemorial era, Fang Yun learned how to innovate and iterate on himself.
At this moment, Fang Yun had summarized the steps of his self-reformation. It was roughly divided into four steps.
Record behavior, reflect on behavior, summarize the rules, test the feedback, and then continue to record behavior, forming a continuous cycle. From there, he would constantly innovate and improve himself, making himself stronger and stronger.
These four steps looked very simple.
Fang Yun observed and recalled the people he knew in the past according to the standards of self-improvement. He made a new discovery.
Almost all scholars could complete the first step, while many non-scholars couldn't even complete the first step. Rather than saying that they were moving forward, it was better to say that they were passively going around in circles.
Many people often couldn't remember everything that had happened, and they wouldn't take the initiative to record things in the past. In that case, it was as if nothing had happened.
Most of the scholars were unable to complete the second step. It was not because they did not reflect, but because they did not complete the most important foundation before reflection, which was to recognize themselves.
These people had some common characteristics. Sometimes they were carefree, and sometimes they muddled through. When they encountered failure, they would blame it on bad luck, mistakes, or external factors. Some would take the initiative to do something, and some would even realize that they were lacking or incompetent.
However, this alone couldn't be considered recognizing oneself. Recognizing oneself didn't mean generally saying that one was lacking. Instead, one would be able to discover one's lack in a specific point, and there would be a trend. This trend was to think of ways to make up for this specific lack, and not just feel that one's ability was insufficient.
Only by thinking of ways to make up for one's lack could one consciously reflect.
At this point, Fang Yun understood that Zeng Zi's profound principle of "I reflect on myself three times a day" was not because Zeng Zi was wise enough. Confucius's saying of "If three people walk together, there will be one who can learn from me" and "See the wise and learn from the wise" was also not because Confucius was wise enough.
In fact, it wasn't because Confucius and Zeng Zi were modest enough.
It was because the two of them had the ability to recognize themselves and see through themselves, as well as the motivation to change and improve.
Modesty without foundation was just avoidance and self-abandonment.
Modesty after recognizing oneself was true modesty.
The reason why most people couldn't recognize themselves was because recognizing oneself was too painful. It was like holding a knife and carefully dissecting one's skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones. Most people couldn't bear this pain, so they chose to avoid it. Thus, they couldn't be truly modest, and couldn't complete self-reflection.
On the basis of self-reflection, one could discover the inner laws of everything through the surface of one's actions and experiences.
However, the laws discovered by anyone couldn't be absolutely correct. One had to go through the final step, using the laws as a basis to test these laws, accept feedback from the outside world, and continue to act, reflect, summarize, and test …
When this self-improvement system began to circulate like a windmill, this person would inevitably become stronger and stronger.
Such a person might not be able to possess the supreme Divine Path, but he would definitely be closer to the supreme Divine Path than others.
After concluding, Fang Yun stopped his self-improvement and closed his eyes to rest.
After a nap, Fang Yun browsed through the rankings. He quickly finished reading the contents of the rankings. Not only was he not angry, but a glimmer of understanding appeared in his eyes.
On the rankings, there were endless articles against men and women taking the same exam. Some people even vaguely pointed out that the reason Fang Yun was blind was because he had done something wrong and was being punished by the heavens.
Fang Yun's divine consciousness entered the rankings and began to record a large number of comments. He then organized and analyzed them. In the end, he found many interesting things.
In the discussion of killing Qing Jun, some people could only see the surface. They thought that Fang Yun was a petty person who had gotten his way and was arrogant. He used his identity as a Half-saint to do whatever he wanted. They were disappointed in Fang Yun's actions.
Some people had a different perspective and thought that Fang Yun's actions were inappropriate, but Qing Jun deserved to die. Fang Yun was only using his authority as a Half-saint.
Some people didn't care if Qing Jun lived or died. They only cared about how the people of Gyeongo would live in the future.
Only a few people didn't pay attention to Fang Yun's actions of killing Qing Jun. Instead, they discussed the underlying reasons and probed into Fang Yun's intentions.
Everyone's understanding of everything was different.
Some people's understanding was deeper, and some people's understanding was broader.
Some people thought that their understanding was deeper and broader.
Everyone's understanding was expressed in their words and actions.
Only when the windmill of innovation started to spin would one's understanding be deepened or broadened.
Fang Yun sighed. If he didn't have the Wondrous Book of Heaven and Earth and his experience in the ancient times, he wouldn't have chosen this path.
Since he had made his choice, he would walk it.
Alone in a room, Fang Yun slowly opened his eyes.
An unprecedented look of determination appeared on Fang Yun's face.
The 15th of March was getting closer and closer to the county-level exam. The discussions against men and women taking the same exam were getting more and more intense.
However, another big piece of news exploded on the rankings.
"We must find the culprit who slandered the Kong family!"
The scholars who saw the title were shocked. That was the Kong family. Even if all the living Half-saint joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to topple the Kong family. Who dared to target the Kong family?
Everyone curiously clicked on it to take a closer look. After reading it, their hearts were in turmoil.
