Chapter 491: Chapter 325: The Origin of Confucianism_2
Therefore.
Gu Peng naturally hoped to follow Gu Qingfeng closely, attending to his needs diligently.
Then again.
There’s another issue in this matter.
That is, the current position of the Gu Family Manor is quite delicate. If it falls into the hands of Gu Qingfeng, there would naturally be no problem.
But if it falls to someone else, that would be different.
Seeing Gu Peng’s anxious and fearful expression, Gu Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled.
"If you don’t want to, then you don’t want to; there’s no need for this. All right, you may leave for now. Also, have Shengxing and Shengan come to see me."
"Yes!"
Gu Peng immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Half a two-hour period later.
Gu Shengxing and Gu Sheng’an arrived together.
Among them.
Gu Shengxing was dressed in a light blue long robe, exuding a much more reserved and gentle aura than before. There was an indescribable serene fluctuation about him, giving others a sense of inexplicable peace.
As for Gu Shengan, he now bore an aura of iron and blood, clearly having experienced much warfare over the years.
But no matter what.
Both of them, upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, showed utmost respect and performed their salutes.
"Greetings, Grandpa!"
"You’ve arrived... have a seat."
Gu Qingfeng said casually.
The two heard this and dared not say more, quickly finding a place to sit.
Shortly after.
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, finally settling on Gu Shengxing.
"Shengxing, your aura is extraordinary; it seems you have found the path you wish to walk."
Even without relying on an information panel, Gu Qingfeng could easily see what’s different about Gu Shengxing.
Within his body lay a faint and mysterious aura, distinct from the blood and qi of Martial Artists, likely the legendary Vast Righteous Qi.
This type of power.
Truth be told.
It was also the first time Gu Qingfeng had seen it.
Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words, Gu Shengxing answered truthfully.
"Reporting to Grandpa, I was fortunate to attain enlightenment and cultivated the Vast Righteous Qi. This is barely finding the path I wish to follow in the future!"
"To integrate martial arts into your practice is indeed remarkable, but as far as I know, the path of Vast Righteous Qi does not currently exist in the cultivation world.
If you wish to pursue this path, it will likely be very challenging!"
Gu Qingfeng offered a reminder.
No one is cultivating Vast Righteous Qi, which means Gu Shengxing must explore the path himself, step by step.
Without guidance from predecessors.
He can only forge the path with his own intuition.
Such an approach.
Is a significant test of a cultivator’s insight and fortune.
A single misstep could lead to being stuck at a certain level for life, unable to advance.
Gu Shengxing: "I once entered a secret realm from the Ancient Times and discovered that in those days, Confucianism flourished, thus obtaining the legacy of Confucianism."
"So that’s how it is—"
Gu Qingfeng nodded in understanding.
Then.
He glanced at the information panel and quickly found the relevant records.
Clearly.
Gu Qingfeng had too much information before, and had inadvertently missed some parts.
Afterward.
Gu Shengxing spoke further about matters related to Confucianism, and Gu Qingfeng listened in silence.
So-called Confucianism.
Is about mastering the classics, enlightening all people, comprehending the Great Tao, and nurturing Vast Righteous Qi in the heart.
The difference lies.
Other cultivators emphasize refining the body and blood, while Confucian cultivators focus on nurturing Vast Righteous Qi.
However, strictly speaking.
The two have their own unique paths but share similar principles, differing only in focus.
But the three thousand paths ultimately lead to the same destination.
In the end, both paths are much the same.
At the realm of Divine Transformation.
Cultivators transform their blood and qi, while scholars condense a Literary Heart.
At the Dao Palace level.
Cultivators establish a Dao Palace Primordial Spirit, while Confucianism also establishes a Primordial Spirit.
The difference is, the Dao Palace of Confucianism is termed a Literary Palace.
Then again.
One is opened with the power of blood and True Intent, while the other is opened with Vast Righteous Qi and personal comprehension of the Great Tao.
In the same realm.
It’s still hard to say which is stronger or weaker.
Meanwhile.
Gu Shengan listened to the conversation, gaining a deeper understanding of Confucianism.
Once Gu Shengxing finished speaking.
Gu Qingfeng nodded.
"The mystery of Confucianism is indeed remarkable."
"Since you have inherited the ancient Confucian way, and have condensed the Literary Heart, opening the Literary Palace, you might become the first Confucian Saint after the ancient times!"
From Gu Shengxing’s words, Gu Qingfeng understood that Confucianism originated from ancient times and was considered an old method of cultivation.
However, since the Ancient Great Tribulation, many inheritances have been severed, and Confucianism naturally vanished into the dust of history.
The Confucian inheritance received by Gu Shengxing is related to the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.
To be precise.
The ancient secret realm.
Was left by the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but doubt.
Just how much did the Taiyi Divine Dynasty leave behind?
But thinking of the ancient times when the Taiyi Divine Dynasty suppressed the entire Ancient Desolate World, Gu Qingfeng’s mind soon came to terms with it.
The Taiyi Divine Dynasty was so powerful, leaving numerous inheritances in the Ancient Desolate World was not surprising.
Then.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the two people and slowly said, "I have summoned you two here today to appoint you as the manor master of Gu Family Manor!"
"The manor master position?"
Both of their expressions changed.
Gu Sheng’an anxiously asked, "Is Grandpa leaving?"
"Not leaving."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
"Instead, as the Gu Family bloodline is thriving, I intend to detach Gu Family Manor for the purpose of cultivating other disciples, while the Gu Family bloodline will all be incorporated into the Gu Family!"
"Moreover, in recent years, I have spent most of my time in retreat, and rarely intervene in the manor’s affairs.
Therefore, I plan to have you take over Gu Family Manor."
After speaking.
The two obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Following this.
Gu Sheng’an was the first to decline. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Though I am the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, I am only skilled at killing, not managing, so in the grandson’s opinion, it would be better to let Second Brother do it!"
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the position of Gu Family Manor is exceptional, and being able to manage Gu Family Manor will bring immense benefits in the future.
To put it bluntly.
If one day Gu Yang steps down.
The prince who can manage Gu Family Manor will have a greater chance of obtaining the throne.
This point.
Gu Sheng’an naturally understood.
Yet despite this.
He still refused without hesitation.
In Gu Sheng’an’s view, the throne isn’t very attractive.
On the contrary.
Leading armies into battle.
Fighting for life and death.
This is the life Gu Sheng’an truly desires.
Years of combat and life-and-death battles have made him thoroughly understand what he wants, so naturally, he declined so decisively.
Gu Shengxing hadn’t had the chance to speak, yet noticed Gu Qingfeng’s gaze falling upon him.
Soon.
He smiled wryly.
"With Grandpa’s command, the grandson must obey!"
"Good, from today onwards, you will be the manor master of Gu Family Manor!"
"Grandson complies!"
Gu Shengxing took a deep breath and clasped his hands in acceptance.
He actually has little interest in the position of manor master of Gu Family Manor.
However.
Gu Shengxing understood.
Outside of himself, no one else is fit to manage Gu Family Manor.
Originally.
Gu Sheng’an could have taken the position.
But he declined.
Therefore.
This position could only be managed by him.
After all, the forces within Gu Family Manor are complex and even impact the imperial court; having someone else manage it would undoubtedly cause many disturbances.
Being a descendant of Gu Yang and a noble prince, managing Gu Family Manor is not a problem.
"With the change of manor master, tomorrow I will announce it and then hold the succession ceremony!"
"After all, our Gu Family Manor today is not a third-rate power, and for such important matters as changing the manor master, the proper stature needs to be present."
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly.
With the position of manor master of Gu Family Manor handed to Gu Shengxing, he also felt relieved.
As Gu Qingfeng mentioned earlier.
Though he is the manor master, he seldom intervenes in the manor’s affairs.
Rather than occupying the position indeed, it’s better to give it to someone else.
Just right.
Gu Shengxing, being a Fifth Layer cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm, and the foremost in Confucianism, if he can manage Gu Family Manor, is certainly more suitable than Gu Sheng’an.
Upon hearing this.
Gu Shengxing cupped his hands, "The grandson fully obeys Grandpa’s instructions!"
