Chapter 1296 Fang Qiu Attained Enlightenment!

“Mmm! The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is so rich!”

He Gaoming was pleasantly surprised as he suddenly took in a large gulp of air and exclaimed in great astonishment, “This is simply a paradise. The Qi of Heaven and Earth is so dense.”

“Not bad!”

Fang Qiu smiled and nodded.

Indeed, this place was covered by a thick layer of Qi of Heaven and Earth.

This place was not inferior to the ancient ruin of the Mo Group!

In this regard…

Fang Qiu was very satisfied!

The Qi of Heaven and Earth in ancient ruins was much richer than that in the outside world. Thus, he had always been searching for places like these that could significantly help martial arts practitioners improve their cultivation.

“By the way, how did we get in?”

He Gaoming, excited and agitated, looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “I heard it was complicated to enter the ancient ruins, but how could we walk straight in without having to crack anything? Is the door of this ruin open all the time?”

“Of course not.”

Fang Qiu speechlessly rolled his eyes at He Gaoming and said, “Do you remember the last part of the first sentence in ‘The Great Learning’? It was ‘abiding by the highest good,’ which meant the place where ‘the highest good’ was located was the gate!”

“How could you even think of that?”

He Gaoming was stunned and looked at Fang Qiu in amazement for a while. Then, his expression changed, and he burst out laughing. “The oldest, I can’t help it. I admire you more and more now!”

Over at the side…

Fang Qiu ignored He Gaoming and began to look around.

His eyes swept around the place.

Fang Qiu found it was a very spacious field.

It was like a green pasture covered with a large tract of lush grass. Directly in front of them stood a thatched cottage.

“Treasures!”

He Gaoming’s eyes instantly lit up when he saw the thatched cottage.

“Let’s go in and have a look,”

Fang Qiu nodded and stepped forward.

He Gaoming rushed up but didn’t directly open the door and enter. Instead, he stopped at the door and reached out to push the door open after he observed it carefully for some time.

Just then, Fang Qiu arrived.

He Gaoming stretched out his hand and motioned to Fang Qiu to go in first.

They entered the cottage.

Inside, they found that…

There was only a desk that was usually used in an ancient private school. On it was a roll of bamboo slips that was tied up. They found nothing else.

This thatched cottage seemed to be a study!

The desk was in the middle of the room.

A rush cushion was placed before the table, and people could sit cross-legged on it.

He Gaoming looked into every hole and corner.

Out of intense curiosity, he picked up every item in the room to examine them.

At this time…

Fang Qiu sat on the rush cushion and reached out to untie the bamboo slips on the desk. Then, he began to read them.

He Gaoming heard him open the bamboo slips.

After he searched around the room, he didn’t find any new things. So, he flashed over, sat down next to Fang Qiu, and studied the slips with him.

The bamboo roll was opened, and they looked at it together. The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

This bamboo roll was undoubtedly a genuine antique. Surprisingly, it recorded “The Great Learning” in the seal script from ancient times.

As they read…

Fang Qiu read, “You teach the great truth. I dare not lose this thought. In this article, I record it. Confucian scholars in later generations who practice this could become sages.”

He finished reading.

He was suddenly shocked.

“What does it say?”

He Gaoming asked.

“It’s a divine script of Confucianism passed down from Confucius to Zengzi, one of his disciples.”

Fang Qiu let out a short breath and said, “Nowadays, we call it ‘The Great Learning’!”

“What a surprise.”

“‘The Great Learning’ tells the divine truth of Confucianism!”

“The world has underestimated this article!”

Upon hearing that…

He Gaoming immediately became serious.

...

In the past, he didn’t pay much attention to ancient study, let alone worship it. It was because he didn’t like studying. Most people born in this era preferred computers over liberal arts, and He Gaoming was one of them. Therefore, he might have heard of those ancient literary works but never gained a deep understanding of them.

Nevertheless…

He Gaoming didn’t know much about literature, but it didn’t mean he didn’t know about the ancients.

Actually, because he had been practicing martial arts, He Gaoming had great respect for the ancients. At least, he knew the ancients were marvelous. Otherwise, they could not have left those powerful relics behind!

Seeing He Gaoming’s face grow solemn, Fang Qiu maintained his composure and unraveled the rest of the bamboo roll to read.

This time…

Like magic…

When Fang Qiu read, ‘The point where contentment is achieved should be known’, his train of thought abruptly stopped.

Then, there came ‘The object of pursuit is then determined and can enter a stable state’.

As the words ‘And, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to’ came out of his mouth, he flashed into a state of tranquility in meditation.

When he read “To that calmness, there will be a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation”, he entered into a state of long and careful consideration.

...

Afterward, there was ‘And that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end’. Fang Qiu felt himself in an ideal state.

As he read, Fang Qiu understood the thorough meaning suddenly. The entire world had dramatically changed, and he found himself in an ethereal state. Fang Qiu no longer existed in the world. When his nature integrated with Heaven and Earth, they combined into one unity. There was nothing else in the whole world except for the world itself.

At this moment…

Like a schoolkid in ancient times, Fang Qiu sat upright with his head down, reading the book, and his eyes moved with the words on the bamboo slips.

At a glance, he looked normal.

But in fact, Fang Qiu was completely immersed in it and had no sense of reality.

He Gaoming could see this clearly.

When Fang Qiu was reading, he sensed that the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the entire ruin had surged rapidly toward Fang Qiu instantly. It flooded in from all directions with increasingly fierce momentum and showed no signs of stopping.

“Swish, swish…”

Fang Qiu was still reading and he could feel the wildly surging Qi of Heaven and Earth as he listened to the robust sound when the Qi of Heaven and Earth rushed forward.

Seeing that, He Gaoming had a sudden inspiration and knew he couldn’t disturb Fang Qiu now. He instantly became quiet and didn’t make a sound. Then he quickly sat cross-legged and began to take this opportunity to practice.

It was rare to chance on a place that was abundant with the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Usually, he would have to cultivate many more days to absorb a little amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth. So, how could He Gaoming let this chance slip?

He Gaoming sat cross-legged to cultivate and absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth, while Fang Qiu read the bamboo roll.

Neither of them knew how long it had been…

The Qi of Heaven and Earth that gushed over gradually subsided.

After a while…

The Qi of Heaven and Earth completely quieted down.

Eventually…

Fang Qiu woke up from that extremely mystical state.

Aside, He Gaoming stared at Fang Qiu with wide-open eyes.

“Hum?”

When he felt He Gaoming’s gaze, Fang Qiu was slightly startled. After feeling the surroundings for a while, he immediately asked in confusion, “What happened? The Qi of Heaven and Earth here has been reduced to half its former amount for no reason.”

After that…

He turned to look at He Gaoming.

And his face changed dramatically.

He Gaoming, who had remained at the peak of the sixth-class, had leaped to the peak of the eighth-class.

Not just Fang Qiu but even He Gaoming himself was completely dumbfounded!

Before John Doe returned…

He had cultivated in the wine factory for a long time. Finally, he managed to reach the peak of the fifth-class. It was John Doe who helped him rise from the fourth-class to fifth-class. With the super Dan Pellets from John Doe, he eventually improved one more level and reached the peak of the sixth-class. ????????????????????аd. ᴄom

He had planned to ask John Doe to help him break through to the seventh-class.

But unexpectedly…

In the blink of an eye, he was at the peak of the eighth-class!

“What happened?”

Fang Qiu asked in surprise.

“What was going on?”

He Gaoming asked simultaneously.

“Seriously? How could you ask me?”

Fang Qiu was stupefied.

“I… I…”

He Gaoming was anxious and hurriedly said, “When you were reading, the Qi of Heaven and Earth around us suddenly rushed crazily toward you. Since you remained unaffected, I didn’t dare to disturb you. Then, when you attracted so much Qi of Heaven and Earth, I could not bear to waste it, so I sat cross-legged and meditated to cultivate. I didn’t expect to progress at such an astonishing speed. You know what? I couldn’t slow down in the slightest on my way of breaking through. Just like that, I went all the way from the peak of the sixth-class to the peak of the eighth-class at such an amazing speed!”

As he spoke…

He Gaoming stood up excitedly and focused his attention on the burst of soaring power in his body. His joy blossomed into ecstasy.

And over at the side…

Fang Qiu paused for a minute of silence.

Then he slightly raised his head and said, “It should be that I’ve been enlightened and seen the ultimate essence of this universe!”

He Gaoming caught his words.

He quickly restrained his excitement and asked, “What’s the truth?”

“Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, they all tell the truth!”

Fang Qiu took a deep breath and nodded. “There is the truth between Heaven and Earth. It is hidden within us. You, I, and everything else have this truth. We exist as one unit and all living beings are equal!”

“Unfortunately, I only had a brief moment of enlightenment.”

“However, to pursue and achieve the goal, I will have to work hard all my life!”

At this point…

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.

Although that feeling was crystal clear in his heart, it was difficult to speak about it.

No words could accurately express it.

Thus, he stopped talking.

At the same time…

This enlightenment significantly improved Fang Qiu’s state of mind. Although he didn’t make a breakthrough in strength, this change would undoubtedly serve as a firm foothold for his future cultivation!

Fang Qiu was aware of this.

Gurus couldn’t be graded by realms.

The strength of gurus depended on their mental states!

A guru with a superior mental state possessed greater strength.

Of course…

The situation above didn’t apply to the One-flower and Two-flower Realms!

“It’s really worthy of its reputation as a divine script of Confucianism.”

Recalling what he had experienced, Fang Qiu still couldn’t believe it was real. He felt he had been dreaming, but he did get what he wanted in the dream.

It was a pleasant dreamlike surprise.

“Rest, Determination, Calmness, Repose, Deliberation, Attainment!”

“Each word is a realm!”

Fang Qiu nodded to himself.

Today…

He finally realized how great Confucianism was. Few people in this world recognized its mighty power.

“From now on, I won’t allow anyone to say Confucianism has no cultivation method.”

Looking at the bamboo slips on the desk in front of him, Fang Qiu heaved a long sigh of relief and said indignantly, “If I come across any ignorant people who criticize it, I’ll spit on his face!”

“I’ll spit on his face too.”

He Gaoming echoed, “It’s amazing. This treasure is fantastic. With this incredible pace of improvement, won’t I be able to break through and become a guru if I get into another relic?”

“How could it be so easy?”

Fang Qiu shook his head.

“Honestly, the oldest.”

He Gaoming gave a wry smile and continued, “I admire your good luck. Wherever you go, you can improve. You’re simply the chosen one!”
