Yuelu Academy.
Nanzhanbuzhou, the first Confucian and Taoist academy within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.
According to ancient records, this was the first private school founded by Confucius himself.
Although it failed to be promoted to the main Confucian and Taoist academy of the Primordial Immortal Realm, Yuelu Academy is regarded as a sacred place in the hearts of Confucian scholars because of its unique historical status and close connection with Confucius.
This is because Master Yan, who resides in Yuelu Academy, is one of the most outstanding among Confucius's many beloved disciples.
They uphold the teachings and traditions of their teachers, and carry forward the Confucianism of Confucius here.
It is precisely because of this that Yuelu Academy has been able to stand firm through the long river of time and gradually become stronger.
Yuelu Academy is renowned as the premier Confucian and Taoist holy site in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Even the Changli Academy, which is equally renowned and regarded as the orthodox representative of Confucianism and Taoism in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Even such honors pale in comparison.
It can be said that Yuelu Academy has become a place of study that countless Confucian scholars yearn for, and the only sacred place of Confucianism and Taoism that scholars and writers from all over the world flock to worship.
......
Today, Yuelu Academy remains the same as always.
It was a lively and bustling scene.
The bright and warm sunlight shines on the ancient buildings, reflecting the traces of time.
The magnificent gates of the academy, imbued with the rich atmosphere of scholarship, stood quietly open, as if warmly welcoming every person who came to seek knowledge and enlightenment.
Scholars dressed in long gowns came and went, some walking hurriedly, as if rushing to participate in a heated academic debate.
Some, however, were leisurely and content, holding books in their hands.
As I strolled through the courtyard, I softly recited classic lines from the book.
In every corner of the academy, you could see groups of Confucian scholars gathered together.
They might gather around a highly respected gentleman, listening to his insightful yet accessible explanations of Confucian and Taoist doctrines.
Or they might argue endlessly, each expressing their own opinion.
We try to spark ideas from different perspectives.
However, compared to the cultivation methods of immortal cultivators.
The path of cultivation in Confucianism and Taoism is fraught with thorns and difficulties.
Cultivators focus on their own talent and physique, as well as various precious cultivation resources.
With exceptional spiritual roots and a powerful physique, coupled with ample elixirs and miraculous medicines, cultivators can make rapid progress on their path of cultivation.
But for Confucian and Taoist disciples...
Comprehension is the most crucial factor.
In addition to breaking through literary rank, breakthroughs are also needed in areas such as literary courage, and the realm of poetry and prose.
Only in this way can one be called a great Confucian scholar!
Therefore, they had to immerse themselves wholeheartedly in the vast collection of Confucian and Taoist classics left behind by Confucius.
Study and ponder the profound philosophy contained within each word and sentence.
Not only must one comprehend the teachings on benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the roles of ruler and subject, father and son, but one must also understand the laws governing the operation of all things in the world and the way of survival for all living beings in the universe.
The cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires a long period of accumulation and refinement.
Confucian scholars need to study and ponder diligently day after day, constantly reflecting on whether their words and actions conform to the standards of Confucianism and Taoism.
Only when they truly understand these principles.
Only when one integrates this into every aspect of daily life can one be considered to have achieved something.
As the saying goes: Reading books can make you a great immortal!
......
However, today, the tranquil and peaceful Yuelu Academy is destined to have its peace shattered.
When Gu Xuan reappeared with Qi Jingchun, they stood directly in front of the majestic and solemn gate of Yuelu Academy.
Its sudden appearance naturally startled the many Confucian scholars who were coming and going.
But it was quickly quelled the anger of these Confucian scholars.
Immediately afterwards, the scholars frowned and their gazes all fell on Gu Xuan and Qi Jingchun.
The two appeared out of thin air.
It is obvious that only cultivators who have mastered spatial supernatural powers can use it.
What puzzled them was...
In the Primordial Immortal Realm, these cultivators never gave these Confucian scholars, who were focused on Confucianism, a second glance.
After all, in the eyes of cultivators, Confucian scholars were nothing more than a group of weak scholars who only knew how to bury themselves in the classics.
They couldn't lift anything with their hands or carry anything on their shoulders; they were completely weak and helpless.
As for the so-called realm that one comprehends and elevates through reading, how could it possibly compare to the immortal techniques and Taoist arts they acquire through arduous cultivation?
The Confucian way is, at best, nothing more than some strange and unorthodox techniques.
Read books, and you'll become a celestial being?!
It's an absolute joke!
Therefore, cultivators usually disdain places where Confucianism and Taoism reside.
They wouldn't even take a single step closer.
But now, two cultivators are standing right in front of them, brazenly setting foot in Yuelu Academy, which they consider a sacred place.
It's truly a rare occasion to celebrate a centenarian birthday!
Just when many Confucian scholars were filled with great doubt about this.
Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes recognized Qi Jingchun standing next to Gu Xuan in the crowd.
"Isn't that Qi Jingchun, the audacious swindler who trespassed into the forbidden area of our academy's Confucian community half a month ago?!"
That exclamation!
Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it instantly caused a huge uproar among the crowd.
"It really is him! This guy was expelled from the academy for violating the rules, but I can't believe he dares to come back so brazenly today!"
