I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 322 - 189: Five Heavenly Principles Questions (Part 2)

A Two-Star Scholar stood up, "Mr. Li, I have a question. Our Celestial Principle School has absorbed the essence of theories from various countries on the path of the seeker, and we still encounter various difficulties. Sometimes having more methods makes us more confused, not knowing who is right and who is wrong. What kind of attitude or method should we adopt to resolve this?"

This is a rather broad question, and there is no specific event, making it practically impossible to have a single answer.

It’s very, very difficult to answer. This difficulty is faced by scholars, bachelor scholars, and grand scholars alike, as everyone faces different challenges, even beings like Vladimir, the demigod. How should one respond?

Estella’s palms were sweaty. She had experienced many academic societies, but had never been this nervous. Moreover, some major topics require preparation in advance, sometimes one to two months. Yet, this matter had not been discussed with Mr. Gemini beforehand. This is...

Everyone was watching Li Xin. Unknowingly, the hall had gathered a strong Wish Power. This was the power from the path of the seeker.

Li Xin smiled easily, "True knowledge comes from practice."

Boom...

Everyone present felt their heads buzzing. When everyone thought the problem was difficult and complex enough to write tens of thousands of words in debate, Li Xin used only five characters.

The entire hall fell silent, followed by a round of enthusiastic applause after a while. James and others also joined in the applause. These theories had little influence on them but had a huge impact on scholars and bachelor scholars.

James knew these young folks got a good deal, and he needed to seize the opportunity, especially since he had put in the most effort here. He had thought long about this valuable opportunity to ask a question and wasn’t sure if he should ask it if not for the prior setup of the three previous questions, as at first glance, the question seemed deliberately difficult.

"Mr. Li, I also have a question. What is the fundamental reason for the development of all things? From the first epoch to the Sixth Epoch of the Dao Yuan Continent, from the rise and fall of kingdoms to individual growth, is there a core that we can understand? Please guide us."

The entire venue became very quiet. While the earlier questions had a thread to follow, this question was so overly broad and unresolved that even the scholars felt it was too vague.

Estella also felt her heart racing. She knew that James was likely to pose a grand question, but she hadn’t expected this. If it were her, she’d be completely stumped because it was too vast and broad. However, people of the Celestial Principle School knew that this question wasn’t about its vastness; at the grand scholar level, they were exploring celestial principles and deeper, more fundamental rules. Those who knew it understood it, otherwise exhausting one’s wits wouldn’t bring further progress.

The realm differs, thus the questions differ.

Li Xin pondered for a moment. During his time in university, he really had memorized the basics. Everyone was watching him, wondering if this question would stump the master when faced with it unprepared.

But within just a few breaths, Li Xin spoke:

"The fundamental reason for the development of all things is not external but internal to the things themselves, lying within their contradictions."

This is from the theory of contradictions, revealing the contradiction within things.

The entire hall was silent, the scholars with puzzled expressions. What external and internal? What contradictions? Each word was understood, but together it seemed hard to grasp. The bachelor scholars seemed to grasp something but felt like they hadn’t grasped anything.

However, James and Kundra were like petrified statues. This statement not only encompassed humans but also gods and all hidden paths.

The contradiction of all things, pure celestial principle!

In an instant, the spiritual ability within James and Kundra began to soar unstoppably. Breaking through their limits, they experienced a huge improvement. Even Vladimir’s eyes sparkled, the majesty of a demigod emanated, and Li Xin also felt it. It was a terrifying force similar in nature to the mist underneath.

...Thankfully, I didn’t overestimate myself just now. This old man is unfathomable.

Wherever you go, the words of a teacher are always true, always unite with any friend who can be united, especially when away from home.

Li Xin briefly talked about the contradiction of things, scholars below the Three-Star Grand Scholar level frowned deeply, the scholars were at a loss, not knowing what was being said, while Vladimir, James, and Kundra nodded repeatedly, experiencing a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Those below didn’t understand, but they knew this was a higher level. Their task was to remember all they could, to memorize it thoroughly, though strangely, once the contents passed their minds, they would vanish.

The fourth question of the academic society had already surpassed the Celestial Principle School’s current understanding as well as the level of most people.

"Mr. Li, although you cannot join the Celestial Principle School, I still have a request," Vladimir said, retracting his overwhelming aura, sincerely.

"Grand Scholar, please speak. I won’t decline anything I can do." Faced with such a big shot, Li Xin was always straightforward, never looking for trouble for himself, especially since this was the first opportunity since arriving at Dao Yuan Continent.

"Sincerely invite you to become a visiting professor of our Celestial Principle School. There will be no constraints. Today’s four questions and answers have greatly benefited the Celestial Principle School, and in the future, we can return the favor to you. On the path of seeking, having friends makes it less lonely," Vladimir said. When a demigod spoke such words, none on the scene found it inappropriate.

Everyone looked at Li Xin with hopeful eyes. These four questions and answers not only impacted the present but also had a far-reaching influence on the future path of the Celestial Principle School.

"Sure." Li Xin thought they wanted something complicated, but this wasn’t a problem. Since it was a professorship, there would certainly be a salary, another bit of income to relish.

James and others were delighted. Vladimir, the cunning old fox, was wily as ever, using every trick to his advantage. Since he had come, they couldn’t let him go now.

The scholars and bachelor scholars at the hall stood up and bowed, "Sir."

The group was afraid Li Xin might change his mind. The Celestial Principle School pursued celestial principles but did not lack the common affairs of life in preparing talents for the kingdom.

Li Xin didn’t know what to say; declining would be inappropriate, so he had to endure it. He knew how much knowledge he had; doing something so formal, he dared not act pompous in the future in case the truth was exposed.

Yet, as feared, it happened. Vladimir smiled, "Now that you are officially a teacher of our Celestial Principle School, on this occasion, shouldn’t you leave some advice for us, so that students may remember your teachings in the days to come?"

James and Kundra exchanged glances, damn, no wonder Vladimir could always keep them under his thumb. This shameless layered approach was indeed trickier than theirs. This fifth question seemed perfectly justified now.

The hall fell silent again, everyone staring at Li Xin with anticipation. Estella was among them, feeling she truly had put Mr. Gemini on the spot, Vladimir was too sly; where else would one find such a thing done? It was hard to get a sentence of truth in a lifetime, and this was already the fifth question.

Unknown to her, Estella’s feelings as a Divine Favored of the Earth Mother Goddess couldn’t be compared to others. She was merely shocked, while all the seekers of the Celestial Principle School were in a mysterious state; everyone’s will was gathering around Li Xin, having already created a karmic link.

This answer couldn’t be too deep, nor too shallow. It should provide short-term help and also long-term guidance, ideally covering students at all stages.

Vladimir looked at Li Xin; it was both a taking and giving. Even though the Moon God had already placed a bet, it didn’t prevent him from adding his own touch. After all, different paths existed, and how much could be gained would depend on the level of Li Xin’s response.

"Unity of Knowledge and Action."
