I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Ning Chenxin Sets Out (4/4) Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Ning Chenxin Sets Out (4/4) Ning Chenxin, with strength no greater than the Ancestral Realm, how did he withstand Miao Yizhen’s onslaught?

No one knew.

The teacher appeared full of grave concern, but thinking of Ning Chenxin’s background, he understood; it must have been Lu Changsheng who had intervened…

Otherwise, how could Ning Chenxin, with his current strength, possibly have done this?

The teacher’s thoughts were correct, but this time, the one who intervened was not Lu Changsheng.

Within Ning Chenxin’s field of vision, he saw a willow branch suddenly appear before him, transforming into a surge of endless intent and merging with the righteousness, thereby blocking the opponent’s strike.

Ning Chenxin silently thought, “Thanks to Senior Liu…”

Miao Yizhen stared intently at Ning Chenxin, unable to believe that someone of merely the Ancestral Realm could withstand the attack of a Divine Realm powerhouse who had overcome three layers of lightning tribulation.

Soon, his expression darkened as he said, “It seems that an exceptional person has emerged from The Mortal Realm.”

At that time, the Immortal Realm dispatched a low-ranking divine envoy to The Mortal Realm. Although he was of the lower order, he still possessed the strength of the Demigod Realm, which even the declining Mortal Realm looked up to.

However, that divine envoy never returned, and even the traces of his death had been wiped clean, as if this person had never existed.

Had it not been known that the divine envoy had lost contact after heading to The Mortal Realm, it would likely have been impossible for the Immortal Realm to determine that he had died there.

At that time, the Immortal Realm became wary of The Mortal Realm, not only because The Mortal Realm had triumphed over the Nefarious Demon Region but also because of the divine envoy’s death. Secretly they dispatched agents to The Mortal Realm for investigation.

However, they found nothing. Despite being rebuilt, The Mortal Realm was still not as majestic as in its heyday; no traces of that item reemerging were found.

After all, with Lu Changsheng covering their tracks, he had already guessed that the Immortal Realm might send investigators and would surely not let them find even the slightest clue.

After that incident, the Immortal Realm temporarily set aside its suspicions.

However, now with the Six Realms Academy exchange about to begin, the Immortal Realm, in order to ensure nothing went amiss, dispatched Miao Yizhen to investigate The Mortal Realm.

Now, seeing this scene before him, where Ning Chenxin could actually withstand his attack, Miao Yizhen was almost convinced that there was a mysterious powerhouse in The Mortal Realm.

“Why don’t you call out the person behind you?” Miao Yizhen said coldly.

Ning Chenxin said indifferently, “The person behind me?”

Are you talking about this?

Finishing his question, he took out a willow branch that flashed with a faint green light.

Miao Yizhen’s expression briefly stiffened; the power within the willow branch indeed had the strength to withstand his attack.

However, he hadn’t sensed the use of an external object before…

Miao Yizhen’s thoughts were not wrong.

In order not to let the other side discover there was a hidden power in The Mortal Realm, the willow tree had temporarily transferred one of its branches to Ning Chenxin using a special secret technique.

As Lu Changsheng had put it, they needed to be cautious until the mastermind behind the scenes was uncovered, at least until his group of disciples had grown up and could stand on their own.

Observing the conflicted and puzzled expression on Miao Yizhen’s face, Ning Chenxin waved him off, “Alright, being the premier among the six worlds, the Immortal Realm should have some dignity, right? Wouldn’t stoop to bullying The Mortal Realm, would it? Let’s wait to meet again at the Six Realms Academy exchange.”

Hearing this, Miao Yizhen scoffed, “Since you won’t heed advice, don’t regret it when we meet at the Six Realms Academy exchange and all the promising seeds you’ve chosen are broken.”

“Thank you for the warning,” Ning Chenxin said, bowing slightly.

With a cold snort, Miao Yizhen was enveloped in golden light as he ascended, the hole in the sky slowly healing, and his figure gradually vanishing from The Mortal Realm.

People from the Azure Heaven Academy breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

After this incident, both students from the inner courtyard and those providing support from outside redoubled their efforts in cultivation.

This feeling of being held by the throat by others was far too uncomfortable.

At that moment, the teacher came over, patted Ning Chenxin on the shoulder, and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

After Miao Yizhen’s departure, Ning Chenxin stood motionless, his gaze vacant.

Responding to the teacher’s call, he came back to his senses and sighed, “If you don’t provoke others, they will still come at you; are the weak naturally subject to threats from others?”

If that were the case, then strife and exploitation would never cease.

What was the point of what Ning Chenxin was doing?

Hearing Ning Chenxin’s words, the teacher pondered for a while before replying, “That’s right, that’s the reality.”

“If you don’t want to be exploited by those stronger than you, if you don’t want to be forced into conflict, then you must become strong yourself; that’s fundamental.”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng also suddenly appeared beside Ning Chenxin.

Ning Chenxin looked at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with confusion, and asked, “Does the path to becoming stronger necessarily involve entering into conflict, with most going through seas of blood and murder?”

It was a vicious cycle, whether one became stronger or lived an ordinary life; they would all go through these experiences.

The only difference was whether one was proactive or passive.

This time, Lu Changsheng was not joking. He was serious, his eyes filled with reminiscence; he remembered a great professor from his past life who had said something.

Now, Lu Changsheng passed that saying on to Ning Chenxin.

“Dignity is found only upon the sword edge, truth only within the range of cannons,” Lu Changsheng said slowly.

Ning Chenxin’s body trembled upon hearing this.

The teacher couldn’t help but admire Lu Changsheng.

“According to my view, what you want to do is nearly impossible, and you can’t delude yourself into thinking that you can enlighten them with ideas.”

Lu Changsheng continued, “If you truly want to create the world you envision, there’s only one way: you must become stronger, and then use your absolute power to change the rules of a world.”

“And, with the path you cultivate, it is possible to avoid most conflict and bloodshed.”

Ning Chenxin nodded, only half understanding.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng said, “Go ahead, you haven’t traveled for a long time. On your journey, integrate your ideas, that’s the path that suits you.”

“But, Azure Heaven Academy…” Ning Chenxin said.

The teacher nearby chuckled, “If you trust me, let me take temporary charge.”

Ning Chenxin quickly responded, “Then I’ll leave it in your care.”

After making some preparations, Ning Chenxin set off from the Azure Heaven Academy.

It had indeed been a long time since he had last traveled.

Although he had previously traveled with Hong Ying to war and established orthodoxies, that could not be called travel; it was merely spreading the way, increasing the number of followers of the Confucian Dao.

Ning Chenxin’s current journey would start from the very basics.

The Wilderness Realm.

To see how those forcibly enlightened by Buddha Mountain were living now.
