Supreme Lord of the Earth - C284
“Go on!”
Prince Xuan’s words suppressed the voices of everyone present.
Meng Kang yawned again, and said: “Everything in the world, is just like this Haotian Stone. Every blade of grass and every tree has their own properties, they all have their own reasons. Even if you force yourself to come up with a reasoning, who knows if it’s right or wrong? ”
From this point of view, it was equivalent to overturning the logic of the first three grids and even deducing the original intention of the author. Who would decide whether the results of the grids were right or wrong?
These words were as though a gush of wisdom had been poured into his head. Everyone present fell silent, and those who were able to understand what he just said started to chew. Those who were unable to understand what he had just said could only pretend to be deep in thought.
“Continue!”
Prince Xuan squinted his eyes, as if he was trying to size up this Doctor Meng carefully.
Meng Kang nodded and said, “That’s why I was thinking about who it is. Did you figure out the nature of the item? Or is your heart in the frame? With a single thought and a clear heart, your will is good, and what you see is good. Your heart is evil, and what you see is evil! In fact, the object of the grid is not us, but a reflection of the heart of the grid owner! This is the truth that I have comprehended! ”
“In addition, I would like to advise everyone to be honest, to be sincere in your intentions and to let them know that doing good and doing evil is the true thing.”
What Meng Kang had just said, was actually just saying these four words, directed towards the heart. There was goodness in the heart, and what one saw was good, and evil existed in the heart, and what one saw was evil.
Based on his judgement, Xu Maobing could tell that the water in the Wood Spirit’s heart was special. It was beneficial to all living things but it also had the intention of stopping, thus, although this master was born in a military background, his intentions were good.
This meant that this person’s heart was only on the path of artifact forging, not on the path of right and wrong. Combined with this person’s actions, it really was the same.
It was just that when it came to Gu Longyin, this genius who was praised by the Prince Xuan Jinshi had evil intentions, and believed that the path of devouring depended on the person’s intentions.
As for Meng Kang himself, for him to be able to come up with such a method, it was already close to the Dao level. Only the ancient sages could compare to him.
The disciples of the White Deer Institute were the first to understand this principle, all of their faces were full of excitement, and shouted in unison: “Listening to Monarch Meng, it’s better than ten years of study!”
Amongst the spectators, there were many talented and intelligent people. Once they understood this principle, they would look at Doctor Meng and feel that this man was incredibly learned, and would even have a bit of a saint’s aura.
At this time, the Righteous Energy Stone, which was placed on the wooden tray, seemed to have understood Meng Kang’s reasoning, and actually began to tremble on its own, releasing an incomparably pure energy of heaven and earth.
The principles of the Doctor Meng had actually reached the realm where they could make the mischievous stone nod its head. At this point, there was no one who wasn’t convinced!
Gu Tian looked at his good brother’s figure, he was jealous and proud, he had a smile that was like blooming chrysanthemums.
“Boom!”
A gust of clear air shot straight into the sky. The surrounding heaven and earth origin energy began to tremble like waves, then it concentrated and flowed towards a certain point.
If no one was deliberately absorbing the heaven and earth origin energy for their battle, then there could only be one explanation for this situation.
Someone had broken through!
A burst of envious exclamations came from the crowd. The crowd looked over in search of the source of the noise, and it turned out that the junior disciple of the White Deer Seven Swords, Ji Ling Dan, had broken through.
Suddenly, two more strands of clear air condensed and didn’t disperse, shooting straight into the sky.
The three of them broke through on the spot. They were White Deer Institute’s Ji Ling Dan, National Academy’s disciple Wang Caiyi, the young son of the Marquis of Ying Jie. They wrote a poem at the age of six and were known as the Shang Jing’s little prodigy, Dongfang Ying.
The three of them had all broken through from the Innate Realm to the Divine Secret Realm, and all three of them were of high quality, one high quality, and the other two mid-quality.
The disciple of the National Academy who had successfully broken through to the High-grade Mysteries of Abhijina, Wang Caiyi, respectfully bowed towards Meng Kang and said: “Thank you for your teachings, Doctor Meng.
Wang Caiyi was a famous scholar in the National Academy. He had bitterly cultivated for most of his life, but had never been able to accomplish anything. He had entered the low-grade Innate realm at the age of nineteen, and at the age of thirty-nine, he had accumulated for twenty years. Yet, he was unable to break through.
Some people said that with his aptitude, he might not even be able to break through divine powers even when he was old. Others said that for a fool like him, even if he broke through, he would only be at most a low-grade Divine Secret Realm cultivator in this life.
Who would have thought that after listening to Doctor Meng’s words, Wang Caiyi would actually be enlightened. Breaking through to the High-grade Mysteries of Abhijina in one go, he could be said to have trained bitterly for thirty years, becoming famous just like that.
Without asking, it was obvious that his reverence and respect towards the Doctor Meng was only lacking compared to the master and disciple ceremony.
The young son of the Marquis of Yingjie, Dongfang Ying, was a well-known genius. He was only fifteen years old this year.
“A single thought and you’ll understand it immediately!” Grandmaster Meng, you’re right! Dongfang Ying wants to learn the scriptures from you, so I will go and register at medical school later! ”
The moment the young master of the Yingjie family said this, the entire audience went into an uproar.
If his son became the disciple of the Doctor Meng, coupled with the relationship with Hong Shuai, no matter where he goes in the future, as long as he had an army, he would still have some face.
In comparison, the Ji Ling Dan that was the most familiar with Doctor Meng was a lot more bashful. It bowed towards Doctor Meng and said with a smile: “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Meng. My big senior brother said that he wants to invite you to the White Deer Institute to teach us!”
Meng Kang nodded, as if he agreed to this matter.
This news once again smashed the crowd present into a daze. Fortunately, there were already too many strange things happening to Doctor Meng, so everyone was somewhat immune to it.
As the head of the Shangjing Ten Courtyards, White Deer Institute was like a big halberd flying towards the top school in the hearts of millions of scholars. It was a Sacred Ground, yet White Deer Academy actually publicly invited Meng Kang to lecture in front of everyone. Although it wasn’t an official invitation, it was already world shocking.
Many scholars and famous officials had been poor all their lives, studying till their heads turned white. They did not even dare to think about going to the White Deer Institute to lecture, if they heard this news, they would be so ashamed that they would want to die.
The few officials of the work department looked at each other, because with the attack of this Doctor Meng, even the limelight of the Heaven work competition had been overshadowed.
In the end, the Prince Xuan was the one who decided, and said indifferently: “Congratulations to the three students for successfully breaking through, my Great Halberd has gained a bit more strength. Let’s continue with the competition! ”
With Prince Xuan’s words, the spectators finally calmed down. After all, the Heaven work competition was the main topic of this match. It all depended on who would win and who would lose.
A work department official announced loudly, “Next, we will proceed to the last item, the refining segment. The fourth team’s representative is invited to choose a refining location. This place is divided into a furnace and a hidden furnace. The furnace can be used by everyone to check their progress and the hidden furnace is not allowed to be used by outsiders. The refining time was three days and the participants would enter the furnace room. Please choose! ”
The representatives of the four squads all stepped forward to make their selections. Xu Maobing represented the Mighty Heavenly Squad and chose the Ming Yuan. Wu Qingyuan represented the Wu Clan, and after considering for a while, he also decided to choose the famous furnace, while Gu Longyin and Gu Tian both unhesitatingly chose the dark furnace.
Xu Maobing had the temperament of a soldier, the disposition of a soldier, and choosing a furnace was something expected of, but it was understandable that Wu Qingyuan wanted to establish his own sect on the path of refining and choose a furnace to display his true strength.
It was just that Gu Longyin had chosen to refine using the Dark Furnace, which made people unable to guess the reason, could it be that he was not confident of winning, and so he chose to use such a cautious method to deal with it?
Logically speaking, with the huge amount of resources that Gu Longyin had in the Gu Clan and the support of such a huge being as well, he should be the strongest on the surface. What was he worried about?
Therefore, some people secretly guessed, could it be that the logic behind the Doctor Meng’s actions before, had caused Gu Longyin to lose the certainty of being able to win, or perhaps was unwilling to allow others to witness the process of his artifact forging, or maybe there was some unorthodox plot behind it?
As for the Sky Dream Team, they had chosen to refine using the Dark Furnace, so they had nothing to say, because the majority of the people present did not think that Gu Tian and a few people from medical school could actually refine using some good stuff.
The four teams entered the furnace room one by one and began to prepare the materials needed for the forging process.
If this time was placed in a competition, it would seem a bit too long and the audience would feel a bit tired, but to a refining master, it was just a small game. For a true refining master, forget about refining for three days, for three months, even if they trained for three whole years, there would still be a lot of people.
On the arena, the two teams that had chosen to use the furnace had already begun taking out the materials from the storage space.
The so called main material that they had just produced was actually just one of them. No one could use a piece of stone or iron ore to refine a peerless divine weapon. One would have to spend a large amount of resources to do that.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Maobing and her assistant had already ignited the fire on the furnace, the bright yellow flame was at least half the height of a person, and that was only in appearance. The temperature at the bottom of the furnace would be much higher than that of the outer flame later on, because she and her assistant had already drawn the energy gathering array with the beast’s blood at the bottom of the furnace, absorbing the flame force, the results would be twice the result with half the effort.
Everyone looked at Wu Qingyuan on the other side. Nearly a thousand different types of ingredients were spread out on the plaza, and after going through them carefully, there was not a single mistake, as he clearly wanted to use the quantity and quality of the materials to win. As for whether or not he could suppress the other people, it would depend on his skill in the match.
There was no sound coming from the Dark Furnace. Firstly, they couldn’t see the scene, and secondly, they didn’t have many people entering, so it wasn’t as lively as it was in the outer court.
The spectators excitedly watched for a while, evaluating the workmanship and materials of the two master craftsman s in the furnace, as well as their forging intentions. After that, they all dispersed.
Refining a weapon would require three whole days. It was still too early, so there was no need to wait here with your life on the line.
Not long after, other than the officials from work department who had to stay put, even that respected Prince Xuan had quietly left the venue.
The next day, the investors from the four teams were preparing to come to the scene. The interested spectators also came one after another.
Everyone saw that from the side of the furnace, Xu Maobing’s smithing tool had already been formed. A five zhang tall green flame broke out from the furnace and continued its firepower, maintaining an unimaginably high temperature.
Everyone raised their eyebrows and praised.
Not to mention the end result of refining, just with this hand in control of the fire, this master craftsman who was born in the army, Xu Maobing, had already mastered it to perfection.
No wonder the godly king was willing to entrust such an important task to him, even though he was participating in the competition as a craftsman, his ability to control fire was already somewhat shocking, if not for his middle stage Life Taking Realm, he would not have been able to control such a strong heat wave. From this, it could be seen that other than being a master craftsman, he was also likely to be a top-notch expert.
The furnace on Wu Qingyuan’s side did not have such a shocking aura, but a dense smell of medicine was coming out from his furnace. Those who did not know what he was doing would think that he was refining medicine and not crafting artifacts.
This person’s refining skills had indeed reached a superb level. He was able to refine dead creatures into living creatures that radiated vitality. This was the true qualification to become a Divine Craftsman, surpassing the master craftsman!
In contrast, the two hidden furnaces remained silent. It seemed that they were determined to wait until the opening of the furnace before anyone could see their true faces.
Squeak!
Just when no one was paying attention, the door to the right side that faced north opened.
Gu Tian slowly walked out, some people had sharp eyes, and upon seeing him, they immediately shouted out, this time, over half of the people present turned to look at him.
“Gu Tian! What are you doing out here? ”
Someone who had something good to do asked loudly.
Gu Tian swayed his body, leisurely walked to the plaza, he first looked at the Divine Might Squadron’s Flowing Flame Soaring Sky, then took a whiff of the Wu Clan Battle Team’s sweet scent, yawned, and toned: “It’s fine, you guys go ahead, I’m going to the Vermillion Bird Street to buy breakfast, my bro here has a mouth, but he still wants to eat the Old Sun’s wonton noodle, you’re so irritating!”
When Gu Tian said this, the entire audience went into an uproar!
What the hell are these two doing over by the Dark Furnace?
You actually have the time to buy wonton noodles?
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand the young people today!
