Chapter 214: Chapter 213: Sacrificing a Son, Benefiting Others

Translator: 549690339

“The Human Emperor is the guardian of Jiuzhou, looking back over 9,000 years of history, protecting Jiuzhou nearly a hundred times, letting the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons depart never to return. We all owe our lives to the Human Emperor.”

“Not to mention the current Emperor Jiang Li, he has killed many Heavenly

Demons, his military achievements are outstanding, breaking through to the Mahayana Realm, achieving a feat that has not been seen in 9,000 years, comparable to the ancient legends of powerful entities and Immortals.”

“What does this mean? It means that Emperor Jiang Li, by the mandate of heaven, is the chosen one, the Son of Heaven.”

“We cultivators should comply with the Heavenly Dao and serve Emperor Jiang

“Although theoretically, the Human Emperor and the sovereigns of the nine great dynasties are considered equal, or perhaps half a notch above, in reality, the Human Emperor is above all, a natural-born ruler, and thus reigns one level above the sovereigns. The sovereigns should see themselves as subjects and regard the Human Emperor as their ruler…”

Mr. Dong spoke incessantly and eloquently, lifting the status of the Human Emperor to an unattainable height.

According to Mr. Dong’s theory, Jiang Li felt that he was more than just the ruler of Jiuzhou, he was practically the Master of the Immortal Realm.

“Does Mr. Dong usually talk about the Three Cardinal Guides with you?” asked Jiang Li to the students nearby.

The students shook their heads: “Today is the first time we’ve heard about the concept of The Three Cardinal Guides.”

The Three Cardinal Guides were discussed all morning, while the afternoon was spent on cultivation-related content, using the textbook “General Guidelines for Cultivation (written by Jiang Li)”.

This gave Jiang Li a sense of returning to his time at the Great Zhou Dynasty Academy where he was the worst ranking student.

However, unlike then, Mr. Dong did not stick to doctrines in his teaching, but rather broke down the knowledge, dissecting it and explaining it in detail.

The students below the stage were completely fascinated.

Regardless of Mr. Dong’s ideological issues, there was no fault to be found in his delivery of cultivation knowledge. He was dedicated and thorough, not holding back anything. He even explained to the students some things that only those at the Body Integration Realm would know.

One could imagine that these students would save a lot of detours in the future and surpass their peers.

This is the virtue of education.

This indicates that Mr. Dong indeed possesses commendable conduct.

“Does Mr. Dong usually discuss cultivation theories with you?” , Jiang Li continued to ask the students next to him. 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂

“Yes, this is what we usually study.”

Neither was Jiang Li dissatisfied with Mr. Dong and chose to leave, nor did he feel that he was a suitable person to inform him to report to the Imperial Palace the next day.

When Jiang Li left the private school, he coincidentally ran into Mr. Dong’s son who was coming to bring food to Mr. Dong.

He was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dual spiritual root attribute, but his cultivation level was mediocre, only at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

Mr. Dong’s son was well-mannered, courteous to everyone he met, including Jiang Li, of course.

Jiang Li had heard that Mr. Dong values family education and holds himself and his family to high standards. Now, it seems to be true. “You are Mr. Dong’s son?”

“Yes.” Mr. Dong’s son didn’t know why Jiang Li stopped him.

“You have good talent, why are you only at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation?”

Mr. Dong’s son does not have an obstructed meridian, nor does he have a mysterious entity absorbing his cultivation level. He is not an example of accumulating slowly to deliver suddenly to solidify the foundation, he simply is at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

The dual spiritual root attribute was like a decorative article that did not benefit Mr. Dong’s son at all.

“Hasn’t Mr. Dong taught you how to cultivate?”

“Father has explained that Emperor Jiang Li hopes for a Jiuzhou where everyone can cultivate and become cultivators. If I cultivate and become a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator, it will consume huge resources. These consumed resources can be used to nurture many other cultivators.”

In Jiuzhou, those at the third layer of Qi cultivation are ordinary people, while those at the fourth layer are cultivators.

Jiang Li is indeed dedicated to promoting cultivation methods, discarding sect prejudices, fostering mutual exchange, and striving to enable more ordinary people to become cultivators.

“Being my father’s son, of course, I should respect my father, take the Emperor as my ruler, obey my father’s orders, and follow the Emperor’s intentions, forsaking myself for the benefit of millions.”

“Unfortunately, I still cannot control myself very well and fail to live up to my father’s expectations. In my daily activities, I can’t help but absorb spiritual energy and cultivate to two levels higher than ordinary people, becoming a Level Five Qi cultivator.”

“I am deeply ashamed.” Mr. Dong’s son lowered his head in shame, “By occupying these two levels of spiritual energy, haven’t I deprived two individuals who could have been Level Four cultivators?”

“Quite an interesting perspective there.” Jiang Li left the place and contacted Sect Hierarch Dong Zhongshu.

The materials that Captain Liu gave to Jiang Li clearly stated Mr. Dong’s identity.

Mr. Dong’s full name is Dong Wuwei, a descendant of the founding patriarch of

Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu. He is the older brother of the Sect Hierarch of Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu. He had left Confucianism due to differences in philosophy.

For decades, he has had no contact with Confucianism and fits the neutral stance of a Captain of the Imperial Palace.

“What do you know about Dong Wuwei?”

“Dong Wuwei? You’ve met him?” Dong Zhongshu was slightly surprised, then immediately answered Jiang Li’s question, “Dong Wuwei and I are blood brothers. He greatly admires our ancestor, Dong Zhongshu, especially the theory of the interaction of heaven and man. He believes that the ruler’s power is granted by heaven, and thus equivalent to the will of heaven, which cannot De detlecl. Tnere snould De a strict order In tne world.”

“Our views are diametrically opposed. He accuses me of heresy, while I accuse him of forcing a square peg into a round hole. We argue back and forth, and eventually decided to resolve it in the Confucian way. We both became the State Preceptor of a country, assisting the king with our philosophies. We agreed to see, after ten years, whose country is stronger.”

“In the end, the power of the country I served far surpassed the country where Dong Wuwei served and naturally, we won. But Dong Wuwei believed that I had cheated and refused to admit defeat, demanding another competition. He accused me of cheating without evidence, if I agreed to another competition, wouldn’t it imply that I indeed cheated?”

“When I flatly refused, he was wholeheartedly convinced that I had cheated. He then left the sect, saying he would prove himself right. I have waited for decades, yet I haven’t seen him proving anything.”

“I see.” Jiang Li had a rough idea of Dong Wuwei’s thoughts.

Jiang Li was sitting in a tea house, ordering a pot of tea and some pastries, waiting for Dong Wuwei to appear.

After finishing his class, Mr. Dong left the private school with his son. Jiang Li waved to him, and he asked his son to leave, then he approached Jiang Li curiously.

“Did I not explain something clearly during my class, Mr. Ding Li? Do you have any questions? It’s not easy for you to make a trip from the Great Zhou, I must not let you go back with lingering doubts. ”

“Dong Wuwei, stop pretending, you know who I am, and I know who you are.” Jiang Li spoke straightforwardly.

Captain Liu had just questioned Dong Wuwei and asked him some questions. Given Dong Wuwei’s intelligence, how could he not know that this was the first evaluation for recruiting Captains for the Imperial Palace?

A few days later, a man named Li from the Great Zhou arrived to see him. Considering the man’s extraordinary eloquence, it could be easily guessed that it was Jiang Li.

The first lesson about The Three Cardinal Guides and the Emperor’s rule, with the rest being his subjects, was not aimed at the students, but at Jiang Li. Dong Wuwei hoped to move Jiang Li with this theory and make himself a Captain of the Imperial Palace.

According to his theory, it was not just about Dong Wuwei wanting to become a Captain. He also intended for Jiang Li to reign supreme, abolish the hundred countries, and solely exalt the Human Emperor.

Just like his ancestor, Dong Zhongshu..
