"I have an opinion!"
Everyone present turned their gaze to Ying Wuji.
Although there were not many people who had appeared in this gathering of the Hundred Schools so far, each one of them was a formidable figure from their respective schools.
Gongsun Di, backed by the successful reforms of Kingdom Qian, had a momentum that made everyone tremble in fear.
Zhai Yun from the Mohist school was also extremely knowledgeable.
Even the Mohist practitioners who had reached the realm of enlightenment were present.
But all of these people were overshadowed by Ying Wuji.
No one had seen how the reforms in Kingdom Li had succeeded in Ying Wuji's calculations.
But they knew that regardless of the process, Chongli Palace had already established a solid foundation. At least the several masters present today would most likely bring their disciples to settle here. As long as they could develop steadily, in a few decades, they would definitely be able to attract talents from all over the Central Plains.
With steady progress, it was very likely to surpass the prestigious Jixia Academy of the past.
Why was it like this?
Did Ying Wuji still have an opinion?
Zhao Ji also looked at his son-in-law with surprise. He had already achieved his goal, so did this kid still have some tricks up his sleeve?
The situation of today's gathering of the Hundred Schools had completely met his expectations.
The three masters who were the main speakers this time.
Le Li was a disciple of the former master who led the reforms in Kingdom Yan. Now, he was ambitious and wanted to go to other countries to lead reforms.
Wu Wen, who presided over the Li Kingdom branch of the Mohist Association, was also the highest-ranking member in the association, second only to the giants.
Meng Yu, a direct descendant of the Meng family, held a significant position in the Confucian school. Although he couldn't do without Jixia Academy, he could recommend masters of similar status to come here.
In addition to the masters specially invited by Zhao Ning, almost one-third of the masters who could speak among the Hundred Schools had already arrived.
As long as they fulfilled the bet, Zhao Ji would already be satisfied.
But he didn't expect that while the father-in-law was satisfied, the son-in-law was not.
Zhao Ji looked at Ying Wuji and asked, "Wuji, what is your opinion?"
Ying Wuji stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhao Ji and the other masters. "Last night, I had a dream in which my master said that the establishment of Chongli Palace was an extraordinary feat, with great achievements in the present and lasting benefits for the future. It should not be limited to Kingdom Li alone. It should allow heroes from all over the world to gather here.
Therefore, my master has been meditating for several days and has decided to present the essence of his painstaking work to the academy. This can be considered as his intentions towards the Great Li, the scholars of the present, and the people of Li for generations to come."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, and the other masters couldn't help but exchange glances.
They already had some belief in the existence of Ying Wuji's master.
Now, they were even more convinced.
To dare to present the articles at this critical moment showed great confidence.
They were all very curious about what kind of articles Ying Wuji's master had produced.
Zhao Ji laughed heartily, "With such a sincere gesture from my esteemed teacher, how can I refuse? Come up and speak!"
"Yes!"
Ying Wuji nodded and stepped onto the highest platform under the gaze of everyone.
Zhao Ji looked up and down at his son-in-law. Although he was already accustomed to his arrogant appearance, he was still extremely satisfied when he looked at him again today.
He smiled and waved his hand, "Bring the monument!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two old eunuchs with white hair brought in a gold-inlaid jade monument.
Such a luxurious specification was only available in the Chongli Palace in the royal palace.
Zhao Ji laughed loudly, "Originally, I wanted to inscribe the words for the academy myself, but upon careful consideration, it would be a loss of literary grace. Since my esteemed teacher has the intention, you, my disciple, shall inscribe the words for him!"
After speaking, he drew his sword with a "clang" sound.
This was the ceremonial sword of today's grand event, and it was also the sword of the King of Li.
Everyone present showed a solemn expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Wuji received the sword and felt the majestic and warm aura of the sword. For a moment, he could also feel the feeling of overlooking the world.
He turned to look at the stone monument, took a deep breath, and then gracefully swung the sword.
Sword energy surged, and fragments of jade flew in the air.
Just by relying on sword energy, he actually carved beautiful seal characters in the air.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Releasing sword energy was not difficult; any sword cultivator who had reached the Embryonic Breathing Realm could do it.
But someone like Ying Wuji, who freely wielded sword energy like a brush, had an extremely terrifying foundation in control.
This person... was a master of the sword!
And the content he wrote struck a chord in everyone's hearts, making them involuntarily read it out loud."In ancient times, those who wished to establish virtue in the world must first govern their country; those who wished to govern their country must first bring order to their family; those who wished to bring order to their family must first cultivate themselves; those who wished to cultivate themselves must first rectify their hearts; those who wished to rectify their hearts must first be sincere in their intentions; those who wished to be sincere in their intentions must first attain knowledge; and knowledge can only be attained through the investigation of things. Only after the investigation of things can knowledge be obtained, and only after knowledge can intentions be sincere, and only after intentions are sincere can the heart be rectified, and only after the heart is rectified can the self be cultivated, and only after the self is cultivated can the family be in order, and only after the family is in order can the country be governed, and only after the country is governed can there be peace in the world."
The students present, especially those from the Confucian school, were all deeply moved by this sentence.
Ying Wuji's previous performance could be described as drawing on the strengths of various schools of thought, and no one knew which school his teacher belonged to.
But this article he wrote was orthodox Confucian thought.
It originated from the current Confucian works and had a lofty purpose.
After finishing the calligraphy, Ying Wuji felt the quiet atmosphere around him and smiled as he bowed to Zhao Ji and the other scholars, "Cultivating oneself, bringing order to the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. This is the earnest expectation of our teacher for the students of the academy and all the students in the world!"
Before his words fell, a pure essence of talent emerged from Ying Wuji's chest under the gaze of the scholars.
The fortune of a hundred schools!
An extraordinary article!
This fortune was not too big or too small, and it couldn't match this article at all.
But this fortune seemed like a vast ocean, only revealing a small stream, without fully revealing itself.
Indeed!
This article was not written by Ying Wuji, but it was the first time it appeared in the world. Just by ghostwriting, this kid obtained a great opportunity.
This fortune of a hundred schools was stronger than any fortune they had prepared for the grand event.
Of course, this didn't mean that this article was superior to the classics of various schools. It was just that the fortunes presented by various schools were only the leftovers left behind when the sages gained enlightenment. Ying Wuji, on the other hand, personally ghostwrote it, allowing his teacher's masterpiece to be published.
This hidden sage must really favor Ying Wuji as his student!

【Energy】: +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1...
【Spirit】: +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1...
After the article was published, countless attribute points began to drop like crazy.
Finally.
"Boom!"
Ying Wuji felt a roar in his mind, and then his true energy surged, his essence and blood were abundant, and his divine consciousness was clear.
Triple cultivation, twelve layers, achieved!
He felt as if he had evolved into another level of life.
This ethereal feeling was simply intoxicating.
Now, as long as he wanted, he could break through to the first-grade Spirit Embryo at any time. Even if he didn't break through, his strength alone was enough to rival the Embryonic Transformation realm experts of the fourth or fifth grade.
But he was far from satisfied. If the triple cultivation of twelve layers was already so abnormal, what about the triple cultivation of thirteen layers?
What about the cultivation level that was three grades higher than the first-grade Spirit Embryo?
Amazing.
"It's truly amazing to cultivate oneself, bring order to the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!"
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Such an exceptional article is not only a blessing for our Great Li, but also a blessing for the academy and all the students in the world! Ying Wuji, listen to my command!"
Ying Wuji cupped his hands, "I will listen to your command, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ji's voice resounded like a bell, "Although the esteemed teacher has not yet arrived, his virtue has already affected the world. Now that the academy is about to be established, I intend to appoint the esteemed teacher as the chief palace scholar. You must convey this message on my behalf!"
Ying Wuji smiled and directly took out the prepared words, "The teacher once said that he cares for the world, but his whereabouts are unpredictable. Now that he is traveling in the realm of the divine, he may not be able to come in person. If Your Majesty does not mind, the position of the chief palace scholar can be left vacant, and the daily affairs of the palace can be decided by the other scholars. If there are major events that affect the world, he will do everything in his power to advance and retreat together with the students of the hundred schools and the people of the world!"
Actually, he originally wanted to say "let the students take charge," but he felt that it was a bit too much.
A young man who hadn't even grown a single hair properly, acting as the chief palace scholar on behalf of the teacher, how would the other scholars feel? They would lose face!
Anyway, in the early stages of the academy, it would be difficult for everyone to have major disagreements, so as long as they participated in the decision-making of major events, it would be fine.
Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and thought it was not bad.
He turned to the other scholars, "I made this decision on my own to appoint the chief palace scholar. Please don't take offense. What do you all think of what Wuji said?"Several scholars looked at each other, and Meng Yu took a step forward: "As scholars, we should take the accomplished as our teachers. This young mentor has profound knowledge, a broad mind, and an extraordinary vision. He is the founder of the academy and holds the position of the chief mentor. Although he cannot be present, he is the leader of the academy. We all admire and respect him!"
Today, Ying Wuji's performance has almost overwhelmed the students of various families, even the old bones like them are extremely amazed.
If the students are like this, then how extraordinary must the teacher be?
Even if the position of the chief mentor is given to them, they dare not sit on it.
Only the saints of each family can sit, but the saints of each family are there to support the students of each family and are striving to reach the legendary realm. It is impossible for them to become the chief mentor of a national academy.
With Ying Wuji's master presiding, it is appropriate.
"Good!"
Zhao Ji laughed heartily, "Wuji, listen! Your mentor has a broad mind and profound knowledge. Unfortunately, he cannot be here in person! I appoint you as the academy's sacrificial wine official, to pass on your mentor's teachings. You must personally handle the important matters of the academy and not make any mistakes!"
"Yes!"
Ying Wuji smiled and respectfully bowed.
With this "cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world" as the foundation, the Great Li Academy will surely become famous throughout the world. As long as a thousand official positions are stabilized, all the students in the world will be attracted to it.
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Go down! The grand event is not over yet!"
"Yes!"
Ying Wuji smiled and returned to his seat.
"Make way!"
"Make way!"
"Wei Xiong, put your legs away."
Wei Meng: "..."
He has already reached the Embryonic Breathing realm and should not be on the same level as Ying Wuji.
But Ying Wuji's performance today forced the entire Wei family to take notice.
Although he is a military general and practices the art of war, he is not very interested in the Confucian, Taoist, and Legalist schools of thought. But he knows that reform is the path to strength.
Both the Wei and Han families are trying to recruit talents from all over the world, but unfortunately, they are restricted by the Great Li Kingdom and their own people who are unwilling to share benefits. This has severely limited their development.
Otherwise, the Wei family would not be eyeing Luo Yan's three thousand followers.
It seems that the academy is about to succeed today. If Zhao Tu really replaces all the capable ministers.
Then how will the Wei and Han families deal with it in the future?
He turned to look at Han Juan, but found that this lazy Taoist was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Even Li Wang's husband and son-in-law were like this, but this Taoist did not feel threatened at all.
"Heh..."
It serves the Han family right for being annihilated.
Han Juan seemed to feel his gaze and lazily turned to look at Wei Meng, but quickly lost interest.
Instead, he looked at Ying Wuji again and said inexplicably, "Not bad, you have courage!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Ying Wuji frowned slightly. He didn't have much interaction with Han Juan, and in fact, no one in Jiangcheng had much interaction with this lazy Taoist.
Honestly, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Han Juan, but his identity as a member of the Han family made him cautious.
"Nothing!"
Han Juan pursed his lips towards the high platform.
Ying Wuji followed his gaze and happened to meet a cold and murderous gaze.
Nangong Ling!
The battle for the fortune of the military is in three days, but as the main lecturer of the grand event, he still needs to attend today's debate.
From beginning to end, this military mentor did not speak, and even his aura was completely restrained, making it difficult for people to notice his presence.
But being low-key doesn't mean he's not there.
Now their eyes met.
Ying Wuji had a chilling feeling on his back.
Those who disturb the world will surely be descendants of Zhuan Xu. This was the prophecy given by the diviner next to Zhou Tianzi, and Nangong Ling came here for this reason.
He... must have already been targeted.
But Ying Wuji has no regrets. He has already figured it out. The old man was right!明明身怀绝学,却为了所谓稳健畏畏缩缩的,必定会错过很多机缘,既然老天属意你,你不好好利用这些资源赶紧变强,准备苟到大争之世被人当猪狗杀么?
如果今日不站出来,恐怕到现在都没有突破到三重十二层,到时不管进不进乱贼冢盘,都会处处掣肘.
但今日,他突破了,只凭修为,都不虚一般的胎蜕境高手.
更何况自己还身怀无数地阶乃至天阶的绝学?
如此一来,进入乱贼冢盘,有何不可?
那四道兵家气运,也是我的!
想明白了这点,Ying Wuji笑眯眯地冲Nangong Ling拱了拱手.
Nangong Ling没有说话,只是深深看他了一眼,便把目光移向了别处.
「这货,是真不讲礼貌啊!」
Ying Wuji骂骂咧咧,心中十分不爽,他最讨厌不讲礼貌的人了.
Han Juan似笑非笑地看他了一眼澹澹道:「Ying Wuji,恐怕到了乱贼冢盘,你需要小心的,可不止冢盘内部的东西了.」
「多谢提醒!」
Ying Wuji点了点头,他在今日之前就已经有所明悟,这波杯只要敢装,他就肯定会被魏家韩家盯上,还有就是平陵君,鬼知道他们会派多少人进入乱贼冢盘.
但相应的,老丈人派出保护自己的力量也会变多.
大不了就是刚!
谁怂谁孙子!
倒是这个Han Juan,为何会主动提醒我,而且看样子,他也知道有关于周天子的秘闻了.
这是他早就知道的,还是姜太渊那个大嘴巴说的?
Ying Wuji忍不住抬头望了姜太渊一眼,这位老哥除了刚开始那一下子有所发挥,后面就几乎不怎么说话了,除了那为我教妖人出现的时候,他的情绪似乎有所波动,其他时候都没有任何表现.
这个人的反应,有些奇怪.
他这次在百家盛会之际来到绛城,又究竟是什么立场?
Ying Wuji眯了眯眼,感觉最近绛城真是鱼龙混杂.
属实有些让人焦头烂额.
而此时.
高台之上.
Zhao Ji朗声问道:「还有谁想要推演大势?」
台下学子,面面相觑.
今日之辩进行到了这个地步,任谁都能反应过来,此次儒墨法五道气运,恐怕已经尽入Ying Wuji彀中.
若只以气运来看,剩下的无疑是垃圾时间.
不过推演本身就有极大的好处,现在还剩下几十次推演,乃是不可多得的为母国试错之机.
Mi Xingli豁然起身:「Kingdom Li陛下!Kingdom ChuMi Xingli请求推演,此次盛会,Kingdom Chu精英学子共有四人,推演次数尽归我所有!请陛下施以云雾,遮挡Kingdom Chu变法成功之前的内容.」
「准!」
Zhao Ji大手一挥,直接遮住了九州临摹卷中Kingdom Chu的疆域.
Mi Xingli深吸了一口气,大步走向高台.
她也想看看,若自己现在就在Kingdom Chu推行变法,究竟会有几分胜算.
云雾遮挡之下,她倒也不用担心变法内容被外人所知.
第一次推演,开始.
失败!
We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.
第二次开始.
失败!
Mi Xingli脸色越来越凝重,不断修改变法的过程与细节.
直到第十次的时候,终于成功了,只是当云雾散去,刚刚变法成功的Kingdom Chu,就被Kingdom Qian携雷霆之势平推了全境.变法时间太长,内部消耗太重,国力尚未提升太多,根本不是虎狼之国的对手.
第十一次.
时间稍微短了些,却还是相同的结果.
第十二次.
时间跟第十一次一样,不过这次Kingdom Li拖住了Kingdom Qian东出的步伐,给了Kingdom Chu七年的喘息之机,终于在南方站稳了脚跟.最后便是Kingdom Qian和Kingdom Chu争霸,Kingdom Chu以Kingdom Qian祸论,合纵诸国以抗Kingdom Qian,足足对峙了近百年的时间,却因为合纵联盟内部出现了矛盾,最终还是倒在了Kingdom Qian的铁蹄之下.
Mi Xingli一阵失神,没想到居然是这样的结果.
第十二次,好歹也算成功了,可这一切,都是建立在Kingdom Li未变法的前提下,并且很大程度都是接着Kingdom Li挡住Kingdom Qian东出之势,才有的喘息时机.
以Kingdom Chu的境遇,变法成功之后,休养生息才是王道,绝对不可能出兵骚扰Kingdom Li.
不但不能骚扰,甚至还要协助Kingdom Li变法,必须以Kingdom Li阻挡Kingdom Qian东出.
属实是进退两难了.Therefore, the key issue is how to make the reform more thorough and shorten the duration of the reform as much as possible.
The task is arduous and the road is long!
It seems that this time, I must witness the full picture of the reform in the Kingdom of Li.
Mi Xingli exhaled a breath, respectfully bowed to the King of Li and the scholars, and then stepped down from the high platform.
At this time, Tian Wenjing also woke up from the aftermath of the seizure, and similarly asked Zhao Ji to use the mist to deduce the reform of the Qi Kingdom.
It has to be said that this man really has some skills.
He deduced nine times, and each time the national power and military power of the Qi Kingdom increased more or less.
But under the premise that the Zhou royal family did not take action, no matter how much the national power increased, the feat of the Tian family replacing Qi was not completed. Tian Wenjing was so angry that he stomped his feet, and Jiang Taiyuan, who was on the side, looked at him with an increasingly indifferent gaze.
Finally.
All the opportunities for deduction were used up.
Zhao Ji, the King of Li, was not stingy at all. After determining the reform route, he gave all the treasures of the Nine Provinces to the scholars of all countries.
It was not until the end that he stood up and looked at the three main lecturers of Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism.
"Scholars, you can announce the results now!"
Several scholars looked at each other and stood up one after another.
"All the energy and earth-level techniques of Confucianism belong to Ying Wuji!"
"All the energy and earth-level spells of Mohism belong to Ying Wuji!"
"The energy and earth-level spells of Legalism belong to Ying Wuji!"
After speaking, they waved their sleeves in the envious eyes of tens of thousands of people.
Five streams of energy, two green, two black, and one blue, all entered Ying Wuji's dantian.
At the same time, three jade slips also fell into Ying Wuji's hands. These three jade slips recorded the techniques and spells of each family.
Unlike ordinary books, these were carved out by the saints with their spiritual thoughts.
Books are self-taught, while jade slips are personally taught by saints. The difficulty of learning is not on the same level.
Even Zhao Ning was a little envious, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ying! With these three jade slips, you might be able to master more than five earth-level spells in twenty years. It's really enviable!"
Earth-level spells and above are rare and require both opportunity and comprehension.
In addition to her busy schedule, it's already quite difficult for her to maintain her cultivation level. Even with high talent, she has only mastered one earth-level spell, the Transformation of the Fetus.
Now that her father can support her for three years, she should indeed work hard to cultivate.
Ying Wuji: "......"
Within twenty years, I can master more than five...?
Let me calculate, how many have I mastered now?
Zhao Ji stood up with a smile, "In that case, let's call it a day! Brother Nangong, do you have anything to say?"
"Of course I do!"
Nangong Ling stood up, his voice like a trembling weapon, "Three days later, the Tomb of the Rebels will open. Anyone below the Fetal Shedding Realm, or those who have entered the Fetal Shedding Realm for less than ten years, can enter. The tomb contains four streams of energy from the Military School, three earth-level spell jade slips, and the method to practice the divine ability of Turning Beans into Soldiers. Those who are destined can obtain them."
Halfway through his speech, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After briefly focusing his gaze on a few people, he added casually, "By the way, there is also a copy of the 'Ancient Calendar of Zhuanxu'. It was obtained by King Wu when he defeated King Zhou in Dunqiu and has been sealed in City Jing for many years.
The Emperor of Zhou, in recognition of the contributions of the Qian, Li, and Chu families in expelling the barbarians, specially unsealed the 'Ancient Calendar of Zhuanxu' and placed it in the tomb. The descendants of Zhuanxu who obtain it will have the opportunity to comprehend the divine abilities of their bloodline."
Upon hearing this, the descendants of the Ying and Mi families were completely excited.
However, Zhao Ji frowned, his expression becoming extremely serious.
