CHAPTER 1017: CHAPTER 1008: THE DAO MANIFESTS IN MYRIAD FORMS

"What are you doing?"

Snot Baby showed a face of reluctance, being pulled and dragged from all sides, which was hardly enjoyable.

"Strange, his bones are no different, just an ordinary mortal child."

"Being able to lift this massive stone with bare hands is far from simple; there must be something unknown on him."

The crowd gathered around Snot Baby, discussing as some reached out, attempting to strip off his clothing.

"All things have their Dao; this child simply reads more books..."

At that moment, a light laugh suddenly came from outside the crowd.

The crowd instinctively turned to look, seeing none other than Mo Wangchen and Lin Feng arriving.

"You just said the reason this child can lift a massive stone is that he reads more books?" Someone frowned and asked Lin Feng.

"Indeed, the world of Dao is vast, encompassing martial arts, alchemy, and Confucianism..."

Lin Feng nodded with a smile, continuing, "The so-called transformation into myriad Dao, the one who reads is part of the Confucian Dao, and the aura on this child stems from Confucianism."

"What transformation into myriad Dao? You’re just talking nonsense. How can simply reading some books result in such divine power?" A young man sneered.

He is a genius from the Xingyun Pavilion under the Xuanwu Alliance, which held a deep grudge against Mo Wangchen. Since this white-clad youth appeared with him, the two must be friends.

An enemy’s friend is also an enemy; this genius couldn’t help but speak insultingly towards Lin Feng.

"Disrespect to the sir is to be punished."

However, before his words fell, suddenly from in front of the group, the boy who had never spoken coldly snorted.

As his words fell, a divine light swept forth from his direction, landing on the body of the Xingyun Pavilion genius in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

In a flash, the genius’s body vanished, sent away to the forest thousands of miles beneath the Holy Mountain.

Such a scene astonished everyone’s faces. After a brief silence, someone spoke in surprise, "That man is the sir?"

"How could it be? A man who survived from the last era is such a young man?"

Everyone was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief, clearly Lin Feng’s appearance shocked all of them.

"Greetings, sir!"

Once they came to their senses, everyone bowed in worship; this was a singular figure of the present age who could easily slay even the Holy Emperor’s avatar.

"Since you are guests, there’s no need for such politeness." Lin Feng waved his hand with an unexpectedly amiable attitude.

"Sir, if what you said is true, Confucianism is but one of the myriad forces in this world; this child reads several books and can lift such a massive stone. But why haven’t the scholars I’ve seen had the aura of Confucian Dao you’re talking about?" Someone asked respectfully; this was a Great Elder of a family of Ancient Martial Arts.

"The books they read differ from elsewhere. As they say, within books lie precious beauties and golden mansions; you need to understand for yourselves." Lin Feng said.

"May I ask, sir, if these children study on the Holy Mountain for decades, how powerful can their Confucian aura become?" A Saint level genius stood up, eyes shining, clearly having the idea to research Confucian Dao.

"It depends on their comprehension. Two million years ago, a scholar studied here for a hundred years, his Confucian aura could shake Heaven and Earth, perhaps comparable to what you consider a demigod."

"What?!"

These words shook the crowd’s hearts.

"To read for a hundred years and possess power comparable to a demigod?!" No one was without surprise.

What stature is a demigod?

Among all beings, after exploring the Heavenly Dao for ages, very few truly reach such heights, each spending eons of time and effort.

But in Lin Feng’s discourse, just studying here for a hundred years could prove them a demigod?

Instantly, everyone’s hearts were moved, eyes gleaming towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled, shaking his head, "I know your thoughts, but unfortunately, the basic condition to enter the Confucian Dao requires Heavenly Pure beings who have not yet set foot in martial arts. The so-called Heavenly Pure means having never touched other paths."

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s faces bore disappointment, thinking they might gain power comparable to a demigod, only to realize none had the qualification.

"If your family or sect is willing to send those with Heavenly Pure bodies, I can guide them into Confucian Dao. But I must tell you, Confucianism aids Heaven, adding Haoran’s righteous energy; one must not harbor vile intentions or take life, else the Confucian energy will backfire."

Everyone was silent, some having had ideas to send people from their sect, yet Lin Feng’s words led them to hesitate. No vile intentions, no taking life; such conditions seemed excessively stringent.

If truly so, even with demigod strength, what good would it do?

"May I ask sir, people say you’ve lived from the previous era to now; could you tell us if it’s true?" Someone suddenly asked.

"In the Longevity Domain, within the Time Cave, billions of years ago, I emerged from there."

Lin Feng spoke, though not directly answering, his words already conveyed the truth to everyone.

Upon realizing it was true, everyone present struggled to calm their hearts.

"From ancient times to now, Ancient God is peak Dao, revered as Holy Emperor by present beings. May I ask if sir’s cultivation is also at the Holy Emperor level?" A Great Elder from the Ancient Martial family asked.

Lin Feng turned his gaze, first silent, then spoke, "Dao is endless, the path infinite, who dares claim Ancient God is the peak?"

No one spoke, even Mo Wangchen beside him felt surprised inside; could there be a realm beyond Ancient God?

"Sir, having lived a myriad years, experiencing the devastation of the last era and the birth of this one, you’ve always been here. Could you solve the mysterious puzzles unsolvable by ancients before?"

"I have answers in my heart you wish to know, but I won’t reveal them to the world." Lin Feng shook his head.

"Sir, having once destroyed the Dao Body of Holy Mother Yan for the Divine King Body, were you acquainted with the ancient Divine King, assisting an old friend then?" A young man spoke, asking a question everyone present wanted answered.

"I won’t kill anyone for him but can ensure his safety. If anyone threatens his life in the future, even if they are one of the Seven Saints, for the sake of the Divine King Body, I’ll be forced to obliterate them."

A simple sentence shocked the crowd’s hearts; for Mo Wangchen, this was truly a Death Exemption Token.

Even if someone from the Seven Saints threatened Mo Wangchen’s life, Lin Feng, unwillingly, would still act, protecting Mo Wangchen by obliterating the threat.
