Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Spreading Confucianism Across the World

Zixun had left, and Zhong Shan sighed softly.

Two days later, Shuijing and Bei Qingsi returned.

"How did it go?" Zhong Shan asked, looking at the two of them.

"Guise was quite reasonable," Bei Qingsi said with a satisfied smile.

"The initial contact was very fruitful. It seems it won't be long before we fully persuade the young master of the Xuanwu Clan. Once he's convinced, the Xuanwu Clan will be as good as ours," Shuijing confirmed with a nod.

"I trust you with this matter," Zhong Shan said appreciatively.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shuijing nodded.

"You've worked hard. Take a rest for now."

"Yes!" Shuijing nodded and left.

Only Bei Qingsi and Zhong Shan remained.

"Let's go back to the palace," Zhong Shan said, taking Bei Qingsi's hand.

"Mm," Bei Qingsi blushed slightly as they walked back together.

Taishui Heavenly Dynasty, Inside a Grand Hall

Inside the hall stood four people: Kong Lietian, the current emperor of the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty; Raven Daojun; Sora; and Guishou.

"Your Majesty, should we begin now?" Sora asked, looking at Kong Lietian.

"Yes, the plan to spread Confucianism across the world will be your responsibility. Once the northern battlefield is settled, I want the world to know of the Confucian Dao. Establish Confucian academies across the land," Kong Lietian instructed solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you!" Sora nodded.

"You may leave," Kong Lietian said.

"Yes!" Sora immediately left.

"Spreading Confucianism across the world? That's quite ambitious. Do you intend to take over the entire world?" Raven Daojun said casually.

"Everything must be done step by step. Doesn't the Longevity Realm want the whole world?" Kong Lietian replied with a faint smile.

"The Longevity Realm? Aren't you also part of the Longevity Realm?" Raven Daojun remarked.

"And isn't the Longevity Realm part of the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty?" Kong Lietian smiled back.

Raven Daojun stared at Kong Lietian for a while before showing a peculiar smile and saying nothing more.

Kong Lietian and Raven Daojun exchanged enigmatic glances. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

"Alright, Guishou, let's hear from you," Raven Daojun suddenly looked at Guishou.

Kong Lietian also turned his attention to Guishou.

"That day, we brought Wu Jiutian back and stopped at the Wuchao for healing...," Guishou began recounting the events of the day they rescued Wu Jiutian.

"Wait, you only confronted Wang Ku? And you managed to escape?" Kong Lietian suddenly stared at Guishou.

Guishou frowned slightly. What did he mean by "only"? Wasn't his effort significant?

"Yes," Guishou replied, feeling slightly displeased.

"How dare he deceive me?" Kong Lietian's eyes turned cold.

Evidently, at Phoenix Island, Kong Lietian had thought Wang Ku was a peerless expert, only to realize it was merely a facade.

"Deceive?" Raven Daojun asked, slightly puzzled.

"Nothing."

"The eight-tailed creature, do you recognize it?" Raven Daojun asked.

"Let's wait and see how capable this descendant of the Kong family truly is! Lietian? Hmph!" Ying said calmly.

"Yes!" Li Si nodded respectfully and stepped back.

"Lü Buwei, how is your recovery?" Ying asked, looking at Lü Buwei.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have currently recovered about ten percent of my strength," Lü Buwei replied respectfully.

"Hmm, you are recovering relatively quickly," Ying nodded.

"Your Majesty, although I have not been back for long, I have discovered something interesting!" Lü Buwei suddenly said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"The day before yesterday, while collecting information from around the world, I happened to come across a commercial war drama called the 'Heaven Collapse Plan.' It's very impressive. I wonder if Your Majesty is aware of it?" Lü Buwei asked with a faint smile.

"Dazhi Empire, Zhong Shan?"

"Yes, Zhong Shan. The Heaven Collapse Five-Step Plan and the Heaven Collapse Four Heavens are truly remarkable. I never expected another commercial genius to emerge in the Divine Land after all these millennia. It's been a long time since I've encountered someone like this," Lü Buwei remarked with a hint of admiration.

"Lü Xiang, do you feel a sense of competition?" Li Si smiled.

"Not really, just admiration. After learning about the Heaven Collapse Plan, I analyzed various details about Zhong Shan yesterday. I found him to be quite a figure. Over the years, despite his weak cultivation, he has turned the Divine Land upside down," Lü Buwei said with a peculiar smile.

"In terms of commerce, there have been very few in the past ten thousand years who could catch Lü Xiang's eye," Li Si said with a smile.

"Have you met Zhong Shan? What kind of person is he?" Lü Buwei asked, staring at Li Si.

"I visited the Dazhi Empire on the day they were promoted. The envoys from the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty were in awe of him. His use of the imperial art was masterful. Aside from his extremely poor innate talent, I haven't found any faults," Li Si replied.

"Innate talent? Hasn't he only been cultivating for two hundred years? Poor innate talent?" Lü Buwei's eyes narrowed, showing a hint of surprise.

"That's precisely Zhong Shan's brilliance. Despite such poor innate talent, he has cultivated so quickly, which speaks volumes about his abilities," Li Si explained.

"How poor is his innate talent?"

"Rusty bronze-level innate talent. Ordinary people can only reach the Golden Core stage," Li Si said.

"To become an emperor, he can't be viewed as ordinary," Lü Buwei shook his head.

"Yes. What interesting thing have you discovered?" Li Si asked again.

"There may be another significant commercial upheaval in the south," Lü Buwei said confidently.

"Oh?" Ying said calmly.

"It must be initiated by Zhong Shan," Lü Buwei confirmed again.

"Lü Xiang, you're certain of a significant commercial upheaval in the south based on just a few days of information?" Li Si frowned.

Lü Buwei glanced at Li Si and said, "I know you are meticulous and seek evidence in everything. But this is commerce, and intuition is crucial. Based on the information from three months ago, I am certain there will be a tremendous commercial war in the south."

"A tremendous commercial war?" Ying asked lightly.

"Yes, I am confident this commercial war will be even more intense than the Heaven Collapse Plan. Standing here, I can already feel the surging tide approaching!" Lü Buwei said with certainty.

"Surging tide?" Ying lightly tapped the dragon throne.

"Yes, it's very big," Lü Buwei's eyes focused.

"Big? How big?" Li Si asked.

"More than fifteen imperial dynasties, perhaps the entire southern imperial dynasties!" Lü Buwei said seriously.

"It seems you have encountered an interesting opponent!" Ying said with a faint smile.

"Opponent? Not necessarily. It depends on whether he can complete this commercial war. And there will definitely be other forces involved," Lü Buwei shook his head.

"I am now curious to see what kind of commercial war it will be!" Ying's expression showed a hint of curiosity.

"I will analyze the southern commercial war as quickly as possible and present the findings to Your Majesty!" Lü Buwei said earnestly.

"Hmm!"
