Chapter 2166: Everyone Can See the Future

Li Yi was absent on the day he entered the cabinet, sending Wang Kun as his representative, and missed the Taixu Conference twice in a row. The other eight cabinet members all had some thoughts about this, more or less.

Today, with his arrival, Ju Kui proposed changing the time of the Taixu Conference, which was also considered a challenge.

But his reaction was completely different from everyone's imagination. He seemed to have never been challenged, nor did he know what a challenge was.

Finally, Ju Kui spoke: "Since everyone has no objection, then the matter is decided like this. The fourth Taixu Conference will be held on the ninth day of June in Dao Calendar 3927. Unless there are necessary matters, no one should be absent."

After a slight pause, he moved on to the next topic: "The promotion of Taixu Illusion in the Snow Domain has been perfectly completed. Does Cabinet Member Jiang want to talk to everyone about the process and share the experience?"

Jiang Wang said: "Cabinet Member Zhong has recorded everything. The history pen is like iron, the words are simple and profound. Everyone can go back and read it when they have free time."

Saying that, he even made a not-so-funny joke: "Next time I want to draw back!"

No one laughed.

Ju Kui continued to salvage the awkward silence and moved the meeting process forward: "Next, we discuss the miscellaneous family heart method. Before transcending, Qin Taizu left a miscellaneous family heart method to Cabinet Member Jiang, hoping to promote it to the world through Taixu Illusion and give world cultivators one more choice. Taixu Dao Master has already verified it, and it is indeed a pure confluence heart method, not involving anything else. What are your thoughts?"

"We don't need to guess a transcender's intentions, that's not something we can think about," Zhong Xuan added from the side. "Everyone can just look at the heart method itself."

Qin Zhizhen was undoubtedly the first to respond: "Qin Taizu's act greatly benefits the world! How can the Taixu Cabinet not follow the will of heaven, respond to the people, and soothe the hearts of the common people? I agree!"

Saying that, he looked towards Dou Zhao, ready to see how Dou Zhao would oppose. No matter from what angle Dou Zhao spoke, he had already prepared his speech to fiercely refute, whip, and shame this thief, and establish his advantage in this Taixu Conference!

"I agree," Dou Zhao said.

"You—" Like a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat, Qin Zhizhen's about-to-erupt emotions suddenly stopped: "Agree?"

Dou Zhao looked at him with disgust: "What's the point of wasting words!"

He and Wu Ling had known each other since childhood, and he especially knew the efforts Wu Ling had made in the confluence of soldier and Confucian. Occasionally, he would also think about what kind of posture Wu Ling would take, what kind of style he would show, to continue his challenge.

He never thought Wu Ling would die so hastily.

He also never imagined that the final result of the path Wu Ling walked would be completed in the hands of Qin Taizu, Ying Yunnian.

The miscellaneous family has already begun, and there is still a vast blank waiting to be filled in its learning. This is the best era to say to Wu Ling. It's a pity he died before the era...

Dou Zhao didn't feel that anyone shouldn't have died, he just felt pity that there was one less potentially very strong challenger.

He sought invincibility in the world by defeating all strong enemies, not by having no strong enemies in the first place.

"The miscellaneous family does not establish a sect or a school, and Qin Taizu also left no related works in the world, precisely because he does not want this matter to be mixed with any political meaning," Jiang Wang said, standing out as a firsthand witness to Ying Yunnian's transcendence: "The miscellaneous family is not a Dao, it is a way of converging Dao, belonging to the supplement of the cultivation system. Since it has already begun, it will spread sooner or later. By promoting it through Taixu Illusion as quickly as possible, we are also letting those cultivators with ambition in this area take fewer detours. This matter itself can also further strengthen the influence of Taixu Illusion. I personally agree."

"Then I also agree," Huang Sheli said weakly, and then sighed heavily again.

Jiang Wang just pretended not to hear.

"The grassland has long been promoting the confluence of ten thousand teachings. This is not the idea of the miscellaneous family, just changing from sect to school. How can knowledge not be faith?" Cang Ming rarely said a few more sentences: "If it can solve the problem of inner turmoil and self-conflict for dual cultivators, then I think it is very worth promoting."

"This is a cultivation heart method, solving the problem of incompatibility of cultivation methods from different schools. For inner conflict, you still have to find answers in the miscellaneous family doctrine," Zhong Xuan said: "Qin Taizu transcended without leaving related works, there should still be another layer of reason—to leave merit for later generations."

This is a point Jiang Wang hadn't thought of, but it is indeed the mindset Ying Yunnian would have!

"Such a character stepping towards transcendence, I only regret that I couldn't witness it in person!" Chong Xuanzun sighed: "The miscellaneous family heart method seems feasible. I agree to promote it."

Ju Kui looked towards Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded.

"You must state your position," Ju Kui emphasized.

Li Yi was concise: "Yes."

Sometimes Ju Kui would suspect if the people in this Taixu Cabinet were really elites from all sides, representatives of heaven's pride. They really didn't have anyone who was worry-free.

After a moment of silence, he still responsibly announced the result: "In principle, I think Dao should be pure, and things like Confucianism and Legalism are absurd. I don't recognize the idea of the miscellaneous family. But I admit the result of our discussion—now it's an eight-to-one pass, so let's start promoting it."

"The promotion of the miscellaneous family heart method is certain, but how to promote it and to what extent, I think still needs to be discussed," Jiang Wang sat in his cabinet chair and explained his idea to everyone: "Cabinet Member Cang Ming just mentioned self-conflict, which reminded me. Not everyone is suitable for the miscellaneous family heart method. Cultivating multiple paths is difficult to succeed in one. Although it solves the conflict in cultivation, inner conflict is really hard to grasp, and conflict in the Dao path is even easier to lose balance."

Because he knew the influence of Taixu Illusion, Cabinet Member Jiang took every speech in the Taixu Conference seriously and cautiously said: "I think the miscellaneous family heart method needs a certain threshold to be granted, to avoid those who are overambitious and go astray. This threshold, I suggest, is 'holding the Dao.' That is to say, at least they should be in the Outer Building realm of the Dao path before opening this method..."

Chong Xuanzun wiped the corner of his eyebrow with his index finger. He discovered afterwards that Jiang Wang was indeed quite different from before.

Before, the two of them both acted as doorkeepers in the Ziji Hall, burying themselves in cultivation and not saying a word. Public affairs and such matters didn't bother them.

After killing Zhuang Gaoxian and becoming a Taixu Cabinet member, Jiang Wang became more and more willing to express his own views, of course, expressing them very cautiously—this meant that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, someone Jiang had begun to influence this world.

The change from cultivator to preacher is not an exploration.

The so-called True Monarch is also a teacher of heaven and earth.

From Cave True to Derive Dao, it is exactly from "cave the true of the world" to "self-derive its Dao."

In the observation of the former Champion Hou's silence, True Person Jiang quickly established the teaching threshold for the miscellaneous family heart method with other cabinet members and agreed to consider lowering the threshold after the miscellaneous family doctrine naturally prospers.

Ju Kui then led the meeting into the next stage: "The next matter to discuss is the Taixu Profound Chapter, proposed by Cabinet Member Jiang Wang and derived by Taixu Dao Master. It is related to the Star Road Method of the second Taixu Conference. The Outer Building chapter last time was a preview, and I believe everyone has discussed it privately to some extent—"

Saying that, he looked towards Li Yi. After all, Li Yi was the only one who didn't participate in the last Taixu Conference.

But Li Yi didn't even blink an eye at him.

Ju Kui withdrew his gaze and also put away the mood he had originally intended to explain a few more sentences in: "Taixu Illusion is the boat of human Dao. We and others who join the Taixu Cabinet are maintaining the overall interests of the human race. The decisions we make should all be based on this principle."

He said one sentence as a lead, then said: "Let Cabinet Member Jiang speak. For this matter, I don't have much persuasive power."

Jiang Wang also didn't decline: "I am here to introduce the Taixu Profound Chapter to everyone. At this moment, a cultivator who walked out of a small town is introducing this ordinary cultivation method to all the heaven's pride born in holy lands or big cities."

"All of you either come from famous schools or are born into prominent families. You might not understand the difficulty of cultivation for ordinary people. Take my hometown, Fengxi Town, as an example. Before me, the number of cultivators in Fengxi Town was zero. Occasionally, some matters that ordinary people couldn't understand would appear, and then cultivators from Jicingsi would come to look, but they basically had no interaction with the townspeople."

"If you want to cultivate, what do you do? First, you have to know that there is such a thing as cultivation in the world, then find a way to go to a big city to practice martial arts—at that time, Fenglin City was a big city to me. Spend money to find a master, work hard to practice martial arts, pass the one-in-a-hundred exam of the city Dao Academy, join the outer sect, and only then can you get some not-so-good martial arts. The destination of outer sect disciples is usually to handle mundane affairs for the Dao Academy, and only the most excellent among them can pass the outer sect exam and enter the inner sect, which is when they are considered to have truly come into contact with cultivation."

"At first, I was first in the outer sect, then opened my脉 and entered the inner sect. The foundation array diagram I got was the Return Yuan Array. You might not understand this array diagram—it only has eighty-one array points."

Speaking here, he smiled: "In my cultivation, I have learned from many. I have always learned whatever was available, asked whoever I could ask, and always chased after whoever I could ask. I stumbled all the way, and it was barely easy to become a True Person and sit with everyone here. The process was really not easy."

Huang Sheli noticed his smile was very bright. He said 'not easy' but there was not even a hint of resentment towards fate. She wanted to sigh again.

Jiang Wang continued: "I say it's not easy, not that cultivation is bitter. We can all change our own fate through cultivation, change our own lives. How romantic is this kind of thing! What's bitter about cultivation? I enjoy it."

"Just, I sometimes also think. If I had a good cultivation method from the beginning, if I knew how I should walk from the beginning, would I have taken fewer detours? Could I have gone further now? In many times of helplessness, I would think, how can I be 'more powerful'? Many times I had no answer, I could only walk and see. But at those times, I really hoped to have an answer... Groping in the dark on a night road, full of fear and worry."

"Brother Chong Xuan was born to cut through illusions, Cabinet Member Dou is invincible with his knife, Miss Huang walks on an adverse path, but how can everyone in the world be like this?"

"Not everyone has a famous teacher, not everyone has very good resources, not everyone is a genius, not everyone has a choice... These truths, I didn't understand from the beginning either."

"The vision of Taixu Illusion is to promote the progress of the human race. But where does the progress of the human race start? I think it includes you, includes me, and more importantly, includes the thousands of ordinary but also striving people."

"Taixu Illusion is currently building a set of cultivation routes for all Taixu walkers, evolving the most upright and peaceful merit method that can be suitable for most people, including every realm on the cultivation road. On this basis, tailored adjustments will be made for everyone's differences, and corresponding cultivation plans will be formulated within Taixu Illusion... This entire set of cultivation-related things, we call it the Taixu Profound Chapter."

"The Taixu Profound Chapter is divided into the Wander Pulse Chapter, Zhou Tian Chapter, Tong Tian Chapter, Teng Long Chapter, Inner Mansion Chapter, and Outer Building Chapter. Currently, only up to the Outer Building Chapter is open."

"The birth of the Taixu Profound Chapter is not to challenge authority, not to overthrow anyone, or bring anyone down. It is just to give cultivators who have no path to cultivation an extra choice that will not be wrong. Each country and each family has its own unique methods, and each sect and each school has its own different spirit. The Taixu Profound Chapter does not replace anything. It is not the most powerful or most perfect cultivation method. It is just a bridge connecting ordinary people and the cultivation world. Everyone—"

Jiang Wang looked seriously at every person present: "We are just building a bridge. Let those who are drowning walk on the bridge, and let those who don't know how to swim also cross the river."

While recording, Zhong Xuan's mind suddenly thought of four words—Compassionate Vision.

Of course, he finally engraved it down—Taixu Profound Chapter, Jiang Wang's proposal.

"Your fat younger brother's eloquence, you have learned quite a bit!" Chong Xuanzun said softly: "Saying so much to persuade us doesn't cover the essence of this matter. From a family perspective, you are breaking the monopoly of high families and great clans. From the perspective of a hegemonic country, you are balancing cultivation resources and strengthening the weak—"

Speaking here, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "But I am neither a king nor a marquis, and I have long since separated from the Chong Xuan main family. I am a Taixu Cabinet member, and I agree to this matter."

Dou Zhao smiled disdainfully: "Merely six chapters of cultivation methods, what kind of monopoly can it break? Let the Taixu Profound Chapter be promoted, promote it to the Derive Dao, so that everyone in the world can see the road ahead. Those so-called famous families who have accumulated for so many years and have far superior resources, but still cannot protect their advantageous position, all deserve to perish!"

These words were very domineering, but it was obviously unrealistic to push the Taixu Profound Chapter to the Derive Dao.

Not to mention that Taixu Dao Master wouldn't do it, Taixu Dao Master couldn't do it.

To what extent the core paths of this world can be opened, the Taixu Cabinet and Taixu Dao Master have no right to decide.

Being able to push to the Outer Building Chapter is already the result after repeated discussions between Jiang Wang, Ju Kui, and Zhong Xuan, weighing all sides' opinions—if the Star Road Method hadn't been promoted properly and produced a very positive response, making the Outer Building Chapter deeply rooted in people's hearts, the cultivation methods of this realm would also be very difficult to reach.

Even now, if the Taixu Profound Chapter is truly to be promoted openly, it still requires the full cooperation of all cabinet members.

How to convince the forces from all sides still has to be figured out by the cabinet members pushed out by the forces from all sides.

Ju Kui emphasized in a timely manner: "Making everyone in the world see the road ahead, conversely, is not possible either. The Taixu Profound Chapter has a threshold and will not be given for free. If the promotion of the Taixu Profound Chapter goes through, the Taixu Ring Money that was transmitted to everyone in the previous period will also be tried as a whole. The cultivation methods of every realm of the Taixu Profound Chapter all need a certain amount of Taixu Ring Money to buy. Taixu Ring Money is currently only obtained through Taixu Tasks."

The idea of creating a currency for Taixu Illusion was proposed by Xu Jingxuan, the former Sect Master of Taixu Sect, and at that time it was naturally rejected by the surveillance forces from all sides.

For a long time, the rewards for various tasks on the Taixu Scroll were all settled with "merit" or "law" of Taixu Illusion, and even Dao techniques, secret methods, and primal stones, with complex conversions and great inconvenience.

By now, the security of Taixu Illusion already has some guarantees, and reform is the proper course of action. Now, the Taixu Cabinet is just taking advantage of the situation to get this matter done.

But to say it again, if the cabinet members in attendance didn't each have heaven-defying connections, they wouldn't dare to think so far-reaching, with an extraordinary currency one moment and a core cultivation method the next... They would only fear being pinched to death as soon as they stepped out of this door.

The current Taixu Cabinet is truly composed of these people as cabinet members; it wouldn't work without any side.

"Books are not to be read if not borrowed; if truly opened freely to all Taixu walkers, they will not be cherished," Qin Zhizhen said cautiously: "The threshold must be discussed well. Of course, in the general direction, I agree. The human race is strong among foreign races, not the strength of one country or one army, but the strength of the world's human race."

Huang Sheli no longer deliberately sighed: "Cabinet Member Jiang has had a difficult journey, and he hopes that future generations can have it easier. Initially, everyone walked down the ninety-nine layers of steps together, walked to 'all sentient beings below,' and were also self-aware of bearing a share of responsibility and having a share of obligation. But what is 'all sentient beings below,' I, Huang, only understand a little today—"

She put her palms together and said: "My Buddha is compassionate!"

"God's grace bathes the people and treats all equally," Cang Ming said: "Standing at the forefront of the era's tide, we should row the boat for the world. The Taixu Profound Chapter is an act that benefits the world, and I am very happy to see it."

Zhong Xuan said while engraving words: "I predict that this will be another meeting that will be remembered—oh, I also agree."

Ju Kui looked towards Li Yi again.

Li Yi nodded, paused, and then said: "Yes."

"As for the major surveillance forces, please lobby them more. As for the specific threshold of the Taixu Profound Chapter, I will invite business people to assess the corresponding price later, and then I will inform everyone by letter..." Ju Kui made the final conclusion: "Then the Taixu Profound Chapter is decided like this. Does anyone else have anything to discuss?"

Jiang Wang looked at Huang Sheli: "Didn't Cabinet Member Huang say there was a proposal?"

Someone Huang was rarely a little shy: "Forget it, I feel my proposal is very lacking in depth now."

Rarely did Cabinet Member Huang have an idea, Ju Kui encouraged: "Matters are neither big nor small, all of one heart. Cabinet Member Huang, feel free to say, let's discuss it together!"

Huang Sheli cleared her throat: "Then I'll just talk about the problem of cabinet member allowances. Should the travel expenses of Taixu Cabinet members have 'play and sell'? I know I didn't go on missions, but not going on missions doesn't count as travel expenses? Everyone knows, as cabinet members, we manage ten thousand affairs every day, and I often have to go to major green... various places to visit... ah, don't leave!"

"Adjourn!" Ju Kui cut it off decisively.

(Please ignore the seeking ticket goal at the end of the chapter, I just saw this activity in the alliance group chat yesterday, and it took me half a day to find it and fill it in casually. I think it's counting all the tickets together... just leave it there, it doesn't matter. I will add what I write, it has nothing to do with this. Speaking of which, why didn't anyone tell me about the activity in advance? Every time I have to discover it myself...

There will be an extra update tomorrow, it's almost written, but I need to leave some time for fine-tuning, and tomorrow's update also needs to be written and tuned. Plus, I'm going to my outer grandma's house for dinner later, so time is not very ample. Rushing the manuscript is easy to make mistakes. So I'll leave it for tomorrow night to add. Thank you for your understanding.

No extra update today, so no seeking.)
