Divine Brilliance - Chapter 1196 - Changing Scriptures
A little while ago, outside the Imperial Capital. A mouthful of fresh blood splattered out from Qingxuan’s mouth, eyes, ears, and nose.
However, with what happened to Taihuang before, Qingxuan was prepared.
After the initial period of his incarnation being killed, it caused a soul recoil and soul power storm.
However, Qingxuan was still in a bad state. The incarnation was formed from his soul.
Each incarnation was extremely important even though it wouldn’t affect his core.
After it was destroyed, it would take 100 years to recover. His strength would more or less be affected too.
Qingxuan didn’t care about his injuries and he formed a seal with his hands. It was the Taoist Faction Nine True Word combination.

He was trying his best to call back the scattered soul fragments. However, after 10 breaths, he was only able to retract a little but all of them didn’t have any memory of the sealed space.
“Wei Xu has to be the person who killed my incarnation! As expected from the one selected by Xi Zi, how vicious…”
Taihuang had already recovered, but his face was still a little ashen white.
“He killed us first. What did he want to hide?”
“I am more curious now about how Wei Xu who was just initial End Realm able to kill us two with one sword? Both of us weren’t even able to react at all?”
Qingxuan frowned and his eyes turned ice-cold, “Did he just rely on the 12 Copper Men?”
The 12 Copper Men suddenly changed masters and were controlled by the Common People’s Path. This was something he was curious about too but it was second to the former.
“Mirror Flower Water Moon is a Grade Eleven Ability, however, if he faces an expert it might even strengthen to Grade Thirteen.”
Taihuang casually guessed but didn’t think much about it. However, he felt really uneasy like he had grasped a crucial point but then missed it again.
“Since Common People’s Path spent so much effort on planning for this battle, they’ll prepare other methods to deal with us. Who dares to underestimate Xi Zi and Xiuguan? Anyway, they have a secret others can’t see.”
“Li Biexue is most probably dead this time.”
All of a sudden, Qingxuan had no idea. After sighing, he looked at the Imperial Capital with a complicated expression in his eyes.
Although he felt bad for Li Biexue, he didn’t plan on interfering and helping.
The 12 Copper Men protected the area. Any End Realm Saint Venerable would just avoid it.
At this moment, even if he entered, not only would he not be able to save Li Biexue, but he might even die there.
Luckily, the Copper Men were cumbersome and slow. The chaos there required one to use a relative formation to reduce the effects, but even then one couldn’t totally counter it.
“Not only Li Biexue!”
Taihuang shook his head and sighed, “Great Shang, Yuanchen Emperor Yinyu, they are gone…”
Disbelief appeared in their eyes and their heads felt really heavy.
With Great Shang dying, there would be no one in the Cloud World who could go against Great Gan. Even the Shi Family didn’t have the rights too.
Li Biexue and Zhu Zi, these two End Realm Saint Venerables. One was killed and suppressed, the other had his Dao Foundations shaken and heavily injured.
After this battle, Common People’s Path and Sword Sect pretty much swept the entire Cloud World.
Although Taoist Faction had them two, they weren’t on the same level…
The overall situation had turned totally around.
“What happened today might not be a bad thing.”
When Qingxuan said this, Taihuang’s brow rose up. He looked at his Senior Brother with a weird and questioning expression.
“The Cloud World has lost balance. That person should appear soon.”
“Oh?” Taihuang squinted, “Was it the thing Senior Brother Cibei suspected 8,000 years ago? Does that person really exist?”
“It should be true! Actually, even if Cibei didn’t say it, I had this suspicion. However, Senior Brother was too anxious and became enemies with that person, pushing the entire Taoist Faction into an irrecoverable position!”
Qingxuan laughed coldly, “So, we just have to watch from the sides.”
Taihuang was in deep thought. If that person really existed, then Cibei not appearing in the Cloud World for 8,000 years did make sense…
Was Senior Brother Cibei still alive?
※※※※
Within the Confucian Temple, Zhu Zi was stunned as he sat there. His originally sharp and deep eyes had lost their luster.
A while later, he came to his senses due to the discussion noises around.
“Heaven and Earth has been locked down. Yuanchen Emperor is most probably dead.”
“Is this how evil can’t win the righteous? How could the Saint Ruler die to the immoral Ruler? How amusing and ironic! We all helped Yuanchen Emperor, we can be considered his lackey…”
“The 12 Copper Men changing sides… Is that the will of the Heavens? Does the Heavens hate us which is why we face such problems? That Common People’s Path will rise and we will fall?”
“That is not the case! Even if someone is wrong, it isn’t the ancient Saints and not our classics, it is us.”
“Actually, thinking about it, how much have we understood from the scriptures and books passed down? Did we really understand what the Saints said?”
Zhu Zi instantly came to his senses. His close to collapsing heart felt warm once more, the ice-cold heart relaxed a little.
That’s right. It was far from the time to admit defeat! If one was wrong, then just change, there was nothing wrong with that.
He always loved to learn and also misunderstood classics and was scolded by his seniors.
As long as he still had the heart to reach the Dao, to chase the real way to rule, he could wash away the humiliation of today.
However, when he tried to move, he felt like it was like needles stabbing his body. Only then did he notice that his Dao Foundations had shaken to such a serious level.
At this moment, his injuries were worse than when he fought Xiuguan for 10 days and nights.
He didn’t care about the pain. He forced himself to stand up and he still stood proudly.
“They can’t be wrong, their thinking will never be wrong. Benevolence, rights, rites, intelligence, trust, mercy, loyalty, and filial piety will never be wrong!”
His clear and cold voice was like thunder, such that everyone stopped discussing and they all looked over with a weird gaze.
“We are in the wrong, chasing out all other schools of thoughts and only believing in ourselves. Thus, we worked with those dynasties and aristocratic families, sacrificing too much. I am also in the wrong, the Gan Emperor is correct…”
When he said this, Zhu Zi didn’t care about all the gazes from all around. Despise, annoyance, respect, etc., and he smiled.
“I will leave the Imperial City and head back to Bailu Heavenly Cave. The Confucian Faction teachings are incompatible with the world. To prevent teaching disciples wrongly, we will close for 20 years. We will invite all Confucians to study Great Gan rule and change our scriptures!”
The Confucian Temple was totally silent. Everyone was quiet. Only some had respectful looks in their eyes.
As expected from Zhu Zi, as expected from the Saint!
