Chapter 909 Cangjie, the Second Sage
After all, those who are highly skilled in literature and Taoism are generally of decent character. No matter how bad they may be, they are still righteous. Even if they cannot make any contributions in their future posts, they will never become parasites on the country!
It was precisely because of the Emperor's preferences that most officials in the court practiced the Way of Literature. As the saying goes, what the superiors do, the inferiors follow, which naturally influenced the common people. In addition, the Way of Literature requires almost no resources, so even poor families can support their children to study. Therefore, the Way of Literature flourished among the human race!
The flourishing of literature and Taoism contributed a great deal of fortune to Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese civilization and the founder of literature and Taoism. His limbs in his previous life supported him at the four poles of heaven and earth, continuously providing him with merit. In addition, after the death of those who cultivated literature and Taoism, their righteous energy returned to the river of righteous energy itself, bringing Cangjie many insights into literature and Taoism!
Ultimately, driven by the literary fortune, the merit of supporting the heavens, and the literary insights of the fallen scholars, Cangjie's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and in a short period of time, his cultivation reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint level!
After Cangjie's strength reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, his progress slowed down. However, this slowdown only applied to his previous cultivation speed. Compared to other Quasi-Saint peak experts, his cultivation progress was still quite fast!
Originally, Cangjie had planned to participate in this grand event of the human race and continue to focus on improving his cultivation. After all, he had no shortage of merit, fortune, and insights, so there was no need for him to mess around. Improving his strength was the only real solution!
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as he decided not to get involved in human affairs, he immediately realized that the literary path had reached a critical juncture. If he didn't get involved, no one knew when the literary path would undergo a qualitative change from quantitative change!
In the end, Cangjie had to admit his mistake and participate in this golden age of humanity. A wisp of his spirit was reincarnated as Confucius, the most revered teacher, who founded Confucianism, which has influenced countless generations to come!
The moment Confucianism emerged, Cangjie, the ancestor of humanity closest to the Way of Literature, clearly felt the transformation that was taking place in the Way of Literature. His cultivation level surged again, reaching the strength of a quasi-sage, and he showed faint signs of attaining the Primordial Dao!
Cangjie knew very well that his strength had increased too quickly, and his foundation was not solid at all. If he really started to prove the Dao, he would very likely die during the Dao-proving tribulation.
Therefore, the moment he realized that his cultivation level might be pushed up to the Saint level by the luck of the literary path, he frantically suppressed his power and firmly suppressed his cultivation level at the Quasi-Saint level, not daring to let it show any signs of stepping into the Saint level!
In the end, Cangjie's strength was stuck at the level of a Quasi-Sage. However, Cangjie knew very well that he was now at a critical juncture in proving the Dao of Hunyuan. He could prove the Dao at any time if he wanted to.
However, Cangjie felt that he should adapt to his rapidly increasing cultivation level. Otherwise, if he were to try to attain enlightenment in his current state, there was at least a 60-70% chance that he would die during the Primordial Tribulation!
In order to consolidate his cultivation as soon as possible and not to worry about dying in the Primordial Tribulation all the time, Cangjie did not continue to care for Confucius after Confucius completed his mission. Instead, he let Confucius deal with his past affairs on his own, while Cangjie himself went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation!
……
Just when Bai Zhen thought that the golden age of the human race was about to end and the prehistoric world was about to return to peace, he suddenly discovered that the prehistoric world, which had only been at peace for a short time, was once again filled with a trace of calamity!
Just as Bai Zhen was about to investigate the source of the calamity and find out exactly where the famous Sun Wukong was, a loud bang was heard!
The next moment, Bai Zhen's gaze fell on the direction from which the sound came and he saw a golden monkey leap out of the stone!
Of course, Bai Zhen's focus wasn't on the golden monkey, but on the shattered rocks! Although Bai Zhen had never seen Pangu, he was extremely familiar with Pangu's aura!
It was precisely because he was so familiar with that aura that he was able to detect the aura of the Great God Pangu on the shattered stone at the first moment!
