Chapter 523 Mastering the core technology
Sure enough, Haifuzi didn't expect to get any answer from me, and continued to talk to himself.
"The reason why I say that Confucianism is declining is that it has lost that spirit!"
"Today's Confucianism is not big? Of course it is big! However, it has lost the impetus to pioneer and innovate and forge ahead. β
"How many years have passed, and it is really sad that the immortal treasures forged by the mighty river water have been raised to the level of holy weapons!"
"Sad!" said Haifuzi, his voice declining, like a mortal old man.
"Master, what is the true holy weapon of my Confucian Sect?" I hurriedly asked.
There is both a desire to solve his confusion and the idea of pulling his mind out of this uneasy state.
Sure enough, as my question was raised, Haifuzi's state instantly improved.
Although I am still wandering in the memories of the past, I am missing the loneliness due to the surge of thoughts.
"Since ancient times, the mighty river has flowed there, and finally poured out a brilliant Confucianism. β
"Although it is difficult to summon the mighty river to descend, it is not uncommon for monks who have cultivated to a high enough level. β
"Just ask, just taking some water out of the mighty river and refining it a little can be called a holy weapon. β
"Isn't my Confucian artifact too cheap?" said Hai Fuzi hurriedly, his mood obviously not calm.
As the saying goes, if you don't know what you say, you can't understand anything, and when I heard Haifuzi's defense, I felt very reasonable.
"Is my Confucian Sacred Weapon really so cheap?" I asked inwardly, thinking carefully about the scene when my Monkey King Sword and the Boundless Sword of Boundless Zi were cast, and I always felt that something was missing from them.
According to Elder Taishang, it is very difficult to cast with the water of the mighty river, so the immortal treasures cast are extremely rare.
It is also because these immortal treasures have the same origin as the water of the mighty qi, and in the process of using them, it is easier for Confucian monks to summon the mighty qi to bless their bodies.
So many things, there is no one in the ages, so it will be called a "holy weapon" by Confucianism!
Thinking of this, I felt as if I had caught something, and blurted out: "Master, is it because the casting conditions are too harsh and the techniques are rarely known, which has led to the rarity of such immortal treasures in the world, and this is called a holy weapon?"
"This shows even more that my Confucianism has declined!" Hai Fuzi said: "I cherish myself, I am self-contained, and I am in decline!"
"In my time, this casting technique was widely known, at least among the Confucian elite. β
"Although the conditions are harsh, with the cooperation of each other, it is still easy to build it in batches with the strength of the entire Confucian sect. β
"In fact, this kind of immortal treasure created by the mighty river water is the real Haoran immortal treasure!"
"Haoran, is a title of immortal treasure grade, exclusive to my Confucian elite disciples, dedicated to rewarding those outstanding disciples who have contributed to the sect. β
"Although I can't do it with one hand, there are still some people who are the most important to my Confucianism!"
The faster Haifuzi spoke, the more excited he became.
"In the first war of that year, our human world was facing a catastrophe, and my deity and the Confucian sect master at that time led all the elite disciples, as well as most of the Haoran Immortal Treasures, to the disaster. β
"I didn't expect that the Demon Emperor was too powerful, and there was the power of the entire demon world behind him as support, which led to heavy losses in the three sects of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and even my deity didn't know where I was. β
"I didn't expect such a change to happen within my Confucian sect, and someone took advantage of the great damage to the vitality of the sect to fight for power and profit, alasββ"
"Do you think I don't know what's going on outside? It's because I know that I'm dissatisfied with Wuyazi! I don't really think of him as the next generation of Confucianism. β
"Although your senior brother is excellent, he is still much worse than my deity, and he is far inferior to those senior brothers you have never seen, and he can't even suppress this kind of rebellious trivial matter, so he fled to this wasteland in embarrassment. β
"After practicing for so many years, it took me to forge my own Haoran Immortal Treasure, if this kind of behavior happened when Confucianism was at its peak, it would be a shame!"
"If it weren't for the heavy losses of the three sects back then, I'm afraid that with this state of Confucianism, it would have been broken by someone a long time ago!"
Haifuzi kept talking, and his tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.
However, from his mouth, I still gradually restored the serious consequences of the split within the Confucian sect after the First World War of the Demon Emperor.
This is looking at the events of the year from another angle, which is not different from what Yan Yuan told me, but it is more profound.
Although the current establishment has won the struggle back then, it has also lost many core methods, including the Haoran Immortal Treasure Casting Method controlled by the elites.
As a result, Confucianism was in a state of severe internal division for a long time, and this division led to a continuous decline in the overall power of Confucianism.
The establishment can call on the most vast resources of Confucianism, but due to the lack of Dharma, it cannot be used well.
Although the elite faction that was defeated back then declined, it "mastered the core technology", but it was trapped by resource constraints and could not be transformed into actual combat power for a long time.
This can be seen from the fact that Elder Taishang laid out his boundless sword for a long time.
In the same way, it is also more able to see the desire of the Confucian Sect for the real Haoran Immortal Treasure today, otherwise there would not be a group of Great Yan Realm masters who sneaked into Qitian Academy and sneaked up on me.
Even though the Confucian Sect has poured out the power of the entire Confucian Sect to create many Confucian cultivators with advanced cultivation, due to the extreme shortage of Haoran Immortal Treasures, their combat power cannot be fully released.
And this split state of Confucianism has gradually been noticed by the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism.
Although the three sects all suffered heavy losses in the Demon Emperor War, the two Dao Buddha sects, which had not undergone much change internally, undoubtedly recovered faster.
Therefore, in recent years, the two sects have also strengthened their temptation of Confucianism, especially Buddhism.
Although it is not truly desireless, it is not really desireless, but in most cases it is not enthusiastic about the acquisition of external resources.
More importantly, the Tao also has the same concept of helping the world as Confucianism, and when encountering problems, it often focuses on the common people and benefits the people.
Therefore, although there are disputes between Taoism and Confucianism, they only arise occasionally.
But Buddhism is different!
It has always been the sole purpose of Buddhism to devote itself to the propagation of the Dharma to all living beings in the world, mainly human beings, and to develop as many people as possible.
The inaction of the Daomen is considered by them to be the least threatening.
However, the Confucianism takes the common people in the world as its own responsibility, and it is considered by the Buddhists to be a big trouble!
