In the spring of the sixty-third year of the Da Qian, Yujing City was filled with the warmth of spring and the flowers were blooming.
Flowers bloomed everywhere, the grass was lush, the riverbanks were long, and willows filled the Imperial Capital. Many officials, nobles, scholars, and scholars also took advantage of the spring scenery to come out for a walk. The poor commoners also took this opportunity to do some small business and earn some money to nourish their families.
Everything was filled with a genial atmosphere.
Compared to the spring of the sixtieth year of the Da Qian, it was much more prosperous.
The main reason was that in the winter, there was a great battle in the Western Regions, and millions of enemies were wiped out. The Zhuangyuan, Hong Yi, and the Godly Might King, Yang Tuo, offered prisoners of war at the Meridian Gate. They fought and created the true atmosphere of the Central Province of the Great Thousand Worlds.
However, the Da Qian Imperial Court didn't have much of a reputation. This reputation and fame were almost all taken up by Hong Yi. The offering of prisoners of war at the Meridian Gate, his resignation, and the auspicious appearance of the Qilin — these were all things that had been passed down through the ages. Now that a few months had passed, not only did it not cool down, but it became more and more popular. The more it spread, the more wondrous it became. Gradually, it became a household name. Even the commoners, storytellers, cultivators who hid in some secret caves, and Confucian virtuous sages who hid at home to read and write books all knew about Hong Yi.
A "secondary saint" that appeared once every 800 years, a sage.
However, there was another major event, and that was the imperial court bestowing thousands of hectares of land at the edge of the Green Willow Manor outside Yujing City for Hong Yi to build the "School of Changes".
Hong Yi resigning from his official post and living in seclusion. Building an academy and promoting learning was a very common thing. Most scholars did this as well.
However, an even more shocking event was that Hong Yi gathered all the great sages of the Confucian Sect to compile a peerless classic, the "Book of Changes", to expound on the past. Now, the path of the future was undergoing endless changes.
The fact that Hong Yi had obtained the secret tome of the Daizen Temple was no longer a secret. It had long been spread among many aristocratic families, sects, aristocrats, and secret cultivation forces.
It was rumored that Hong Yi would publish many of the secret manuals of the Daizen Temple when he edited the Book of Changes. This was a sensational rumor.
Therefore, the spring of the 63rd year of the Great Qian Dynasty was filled with many variables. However, Hong Yi was the center of the spring.
In a short period of time, countless people with special abilities rushed to Yujing City from all over the Da Qian. There were even many secret cultivators from various overseas countries who came to Yujing City.
All of them wanted to see how Hong Yi edited the books after his Book of Changes Academy was completed, both in the shadows and in the open. Edited the ancient and wondrous book, the "Book of Changes".
…
Outside Yujing City, on the endless Whitecaps River, the water was calm in spring. Therefore, there were many pleasure boats and pleasure boats floating on it. Most of them were for officials, nobles, and aristocratic families to enjoy themselves.
The Whitecaps River was extremely wide. One could not see the other side. The river surged day and night.
No matter how big the pleasure boat was, it was like a leaf of duckweed compared to the boat.
Therefore, many pleasure boats floated on it. It did not seem crowded, and the sky was still wide.
"Brother Tianhua, Hong Yi's Academy of Book Changes was started in late autumn last year. It's only the third month of spring now. In a short five or six months, it seems to be completed. The construction is so fast. I saw it from afar. It's so majestic. It's even better than our Four Seasons Academy. "
On a decorated pleasure boat with jade railings, a few young scholars wearing loose Confucian robes and carrying swords stood at the bow of the boat. They didn't put down their swords, but this huge pleasure boat just stopped. No matter how the river washed against it, it didn't move at all like a rock.
"It seems to be built with the help of the Mohist Family of Heavenly Works," the young scholar called Tianhua said. "But I heard that Hong Yi spent at least a few million taels of silver to build the academy. The materials were transported into the villa without any cost. Look in the distance. There are more than ten large boats. They are all transporting materials. "
"The Mohist Family of Heavenly Works. Isn't that the faction of the Champion Marquis? The Champion Marquis seems to be a scholar and Hong Yi, the top scorer. One is a scholar, and the other is a warrior. They don't get along very well. "
"Perhaps there are other reasons. But the Champion Marquis is a warrior. The Mohist Family of Heavenly Works is only trying to rope him in. Now, they might be trying to get on Hong Yi's good side."
"Anyway, the Dean will be coming to the capital in a few days. When the academy is completed, he will pay a personal visit and learn from Hong Yi. When the time comes, we can go and take a look. The Academy of Book Changes … Hehe, on the day it is completed, there will be a good show. "
"Yes, if he builds it, won't the reputation of the various academies weaken?"
"Huh? That's the Sun Moon Academy's pleasure boat. The Dean of the Sun Moon Academy is probably on it. He must be here for the completion of the Academy of Book Changes. "
…
"I didn't expect that we would spend less than a day in the Nine Abyss Divine Territory, but a few months would pass in the Great Thousand Domains. In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived. This Green Willow Mountain Manor has undergone earth-shattering changes."
At this moment, Hong Yi was at the peak of the mountain behind Green Willow Mountain Manor. He was observing everything that was happening in Green Willow Mountain Manor.
Under the hard work of many craftsmen, Green Willow Mountain Manor had undergone tremendous changes. Green Willow Mountain Manor had undergone a massive change. Tall palaces had been built, and the mountainous region had been flattened. Layers upon layers of buildings with a strong scent of books had also been built.
Murong Yan was one of the people in charge of the construction of the academy. At this moment, she was standing beside Hong Yi. Of course, there was also Princess Yululette, Prince Shi Di, and the others.
"Yes, in another one or two months, the academy will be completed." Murong Yan said, "On one hand, this is because the Mohist Family of Heavenly Works' construction methods are amazing. On the other hand, I have also spent large sums of money. I have mobilized close to 100,000 people to build this quickly. In the past few months, I have spent close to 10 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the national treasury's income. Fortunately, you came back in time. Otherwise, the money would have been used up. This time, I don't know how many forces have made a fortune by relying on us to build the academy. "
"Don't worry, I have a lot of money." Hong Yi said, "You don't have to worry about this, nor do you have to worry about spending money. In any case, we are spreading our wealth to the people."
"The Mohist Family of Heavenly Works indeed lives up to its name."
Hakuziyue and Consort Yuan also stood beside Hong Yi, looking at everything inside and outside of Green Willow Heights. They saw that the crowd was like ants. There were people pushing carts, building walls, pulling lumber, mixing mud, boiling lime, and so on. They covered the entire Green Willow Town, all the way to the White Waves River. Within a radius of a hundred miles, they were all workers building the academy. Among them, there was a mysterious figure dressed in pitch-black clothes with a white belt on his head. He was a disciple of the Mohist Family of Heavenly Works.
These disciples were all skilled, and they used many strange tools. There were wooden horses that could move, tall wooden puppets, cranes, and even at night, these disciples would use Taoist techniques to build houses.
They were very fast.
Some of the strange tools made even Hong Yi sigh at their uncanny workmanship.
"Xie Wenyuan has already built up momentum in the south and contacted dozens of great scholars. He has also brought over a thousand disciples with countless books. They will be here in a few days to settle down and begin editing the Book of Changes with you. Now you will be busy, "Hakuziyue said.
"It's fine. The bigger the momentum, the better. I believe that on the day the academy is completed, the heads of the various academies will come to pay a visit. They might even use knowledge to make things difficult for me. This is a competition of literary talent. Heavenly Dao techniques are useless. My Zhou Yi Academy still has a long way to go to lead the heroes and become the leader of the righteous path in the world, "Hong Yi said.
"Hong Yi, when will you pass the seventh Lightning Tribulation and become a true Creator?" Consort Yuan asked.
"I can already pass the seventh Lightning Tribulation and become a Creator. However, there might still be a period of weakness. That will be very dangerous. Especially when Kong is still around. I can say with certainty that I have become an existence that the world will pay attention to. No matter how secretive I am when I pass the Lightning Tribulation, there will be people coming to kill me. Yuan Qi Shen, Dark Emperor Daoist, the Da Qian royal family, the Dao Sect's Three Ancestors, and even the first primordial demon, Kong! Therefore, I have to accumulate strength until I pass the Lightning Tribulation. There won't be a period of weakness, and I can only pass it in the blink of an eye. Otherwise, I will definitely die. "
Hong Yi described his enemies word by word.
Hakuziyue, Consort Yuan, and Hakuziyue's hearts jumped with every enemy he mentioned.
Just Kong alone would be hard enough to deal with if he came to kill Hong Yi while he was undergoing his Lightning Tribulation. With so many people attacking together, Hong Yi would definitely die without a corpse left. He could not be more dead.
The Lightning Tribulation was a catalyst that could make many people who usually didn't dare to make a move.
Even Saint Tu Yuan dared to take advantage of the Monogatari's Lightning Tribulation.
"There won't be a period of weakness, and I have to pass it in the blink of an eye. This can only be done after the accumulation of the ninth Lightning Tribulation …" Hakuziyue said.
"Let's go! We will enter the All Sages Hall and comprehend the dao techniques. Everyone, comprehend them together. Yululette, Shi Di, come in too. I have collected the dao fruits of the nine evil sects, the Saha Treasure Tree, and the Bone Scholar's spiritual thoughts. I do need to comprehend and digest them. Comprehending these things will be of great benefit to you … "
As he spoke, the void moved slightly. Everyone around Hong Yi once again entered the All Sages Hall hidden in the void.
Hong Yi waved his hand, and the dao fruits of the nine evil sects that were suppressed in the Lightning Pool flew out one by one. Immediately, evil qi surged, and the Original Sin Ancient Demon appeared faintly again.
At the same time, the suppressed Bone Scholar's spiritual thoughts were also stirring. However, the Saha Treasure Tree was stirring even more violently.
It had not been long since the completion of the college. Hong Yi could use this time to completely digest everything in the Nine Abyss Celestial Realm.
