School flower's personal master

Chapter 12348

"Kong Jisheng actually has such courage?"

Liu Aozhi, the Grand Administrator of Tianjun, had an inscrutable expression.

He had tried to win over the Kong family, but was repeatedly rebuffed, which made him quite resentful.

The Kong family is indeed of extraordinary status, but he is the dignified governor of Tianjun. Why should the Kong family not give him face?

He once considered embarrassing the Kong family, but due to various pressures, he ultimately did not choose to take action.

Looking at it now, I can't help but feel a sense of dread.

This is still just Kong Jisheng.

Confucius, the true pillar of the Confucian family, had not yet revealed his true power.

The thoughts of the other powerful family leaders were unfathomable.

Some, like Liu Aozhi, were overjoyed, while others felt sorry for the Kong family. After all, directly intervening in the race was tantamount to directly confronting the Heavenly Dao, and the price was not to be underestimated.

In any case, they were just spectators on the sidelines.

But for Lin Yi, who was caught in the middle of the situation, the crisis was imminent.

The giant hand wasn't really aimed at him, but he was right in the Saint's Track, and if something happened on the Saint's Track, he wouldn't have any chance of escaping unscathed!

If things go wrong, one could die on the spot.

Unless you hide in a new world.

However, with everyone watching and all the top figures in Tianjun observing, if Lin Yi really did this, his identity as an ancient god cultivator would be completely exposed.

With the discerning eyes of these bigwigs, it's impossible that they wouldn't have noticed something amiss.

If it comes to that point, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Yi never expected that the final outcome of this race would develop to this point. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the greatest danger he has faced since entering the Heavenly Dao Academy, without exception!

We must find a way to break this deadlock!

Lin Yi looked at Kong Qianqiu on the opposite side of the sand table.

At this moment, the descendant of the Kong family was surrounded by black energy, and his inner demons had almost burst forth from his body.

Lin Yi frowned deeply.

This woman's pursuit of the Dao was too pure, but precisely because of this, the inner demons that remained in her heart were also incredibly pure, and naturally became incredibly powerful.

The most fatal point is that inner demons cannot be overcome by external forces.

At this moment, even if Lin Yi forcefully intervened through the sand table, he could not shake the inner demon in the slightest. On the contrary, it would stimulate it and make it grow stronger.

Influenced by his inner demons, Kong Qianqiu himself was completely immersed in the sand table and could not extricate himself.

She had only one thing on her mind.

The philosophy of mind.

She could sense the presence of her inner demons and their corrosive influence, but she paid no attention to them.

In fact, at this point, even if she started to care, she could no longer suppress it.

As the giant hand above his head drew ever closer, and the Saint's Racecourse was about to collapse completely, Lin Yi suddenly had a thought.

The trouble should end it!

Since the crisis arose from the discussion of principles in the sand table, it is natural to seek a solution from the discussion of principles in the sand table.

Suddenly, Yang Ming asked, "What does it mean that there is nothing outside the mind?"

Because of his inner demons, Kong Qianqiu had unconsciously shut himself off and become oblivious to everything in the outside world.

However, upon hearing this, he suddenly became alert.

Is everything outside of the mind illusory?

Kong Qianqiu attempted to provide an answer, but quickly contradicted himself: "If the Tianshan Mountains collapse and the four seas dry up when I close my eyes, as long as I don't see or know it, the natural disasters do not exist?"

"Isn't this just deceiving yourself?"

The figure sitting opposite in the sand table smiled without saying a word.

Kong Qianqiu frowned even more: "Flowers bloom according to the seasons, whether I see them or not. If you say they only exist because I see them, then what about the bottomless abyss below the cliff..."

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the cliff to the side, then suddenly stopped.

The figure opposite smiled and said, "You fear the abyss because its perilousness makes your heart tremble, but village children cross this cliff as if walking on flat ground."

"Both are sheer cliffs, but in your heart they are a battlefield, while in your childlike heart they are a playground."

Is it a change of cliff? Or a change of heart?

Upon hearing this, Kong Qianqiu's mind trembled violently. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the materialized inner demon behind him.

The figure opposite asked again: "What does it mean that nothing exists outside the mind?"

Kong Qianqiu looked at his inner demons and suddenly understood: "The absence of anything outside the mind does not mean that everything does not exist, but rather that only when I pay attention to them will they connect with me."

The figure opposite smiled with satisfaction: "Before you saw this flower, it and your heart were both in a state of stillness. Now that you have seen this flower, its colors have suddenly become clear."

As he spoke, the inner demons within Kong Qianqiu vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

As if nothing happened.

Kong Qianqiu was sincerely convinced: "I have learned a lot."

At the same time, the giant hand that was about to press down on the two of them suddenly stopped and then slowly retreated.

"The Saint's Track is Over."

Kong Qianqiu was immediately teleported off the track.

Everyone looked up in stunned silence, and the leaderboard above the track hall was updated.

Yang Ming, the ultimate champion on the path to sainthood.

The whole audience was silent.

Even the Heavenly Palace was silent at this moment.

A hint of regret flashed in Liu Aozhi's eyes.

This should have made the Kong family pay a heavy price, making it easier for him to take advantage of their vulnerability and subdue them.

Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain in the end.

As for the other powerful figures from various families, they were still immersed in the final discussion about the concept of "nothing outside the mind." Some were deep in thought with furrowed brows, while others were beaming with excitement and exclaiming how wonderful it was.

the Kongs.

Kong Jisheng, who forcibly stopped halfway through, had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering a backlash.

However, his face was full of satisfaction.

Kong Jisheng laughed heartily: "This Yang Ming is truly an extraordinary person. I really want to meet him."

As for his daughter missing out on the path to becoming a saint, he didn't care at all.

Confucius smiled and nodded: "You can send out the message. My Kong family's doors will always be open to him. If he comes to visit, I will be happy to welcome him with open arms."

Upon hearing this, not only was Gou Qi on the ground so angry that he vomited blood, but even Kong Jisheng showed a look of astonishment.

Confucius held an extraordinary position.

Normally, even the heads of top aristocratic families find it extremely difficult to get an audience. Liu Aozhi, the Grand Steward of Tianjun, was turned away several times in a row.

Otherwise, they wouldn't hold a grudge against me.

Kong Jisheng hesitated for a moment: "Father, wouldn't doing this violate the ancestral precepts?"

"Ancestral precepts?"

Confucius looked at his son with annoyance: "The ancestral precepts are meant to restrain you unworthy descendants, what do they have to do with me?"

"..."

Kong Jisheng was speechless for a moment.

The ancestral teachings of the Confucian family require their descendants to devoutly pursue the Way and not to become too deeply entangled with worldly affairs.

The Kong family almost never gets involved in the various conflicts of interest in Tianjun. This non-participation means they won't show any weakness, yet they possess deep-rooted strength and power, which is how they maintain their superior status.

Once you rashly enter the fray, you will inevitably start bleeding, and even if you have a long health bar, you will lose your superior position.

God cannot shed blood, and neither can the Confucian family.

Kong Jisheng said uncertainly, "This Yang Ming's identity is probably not simple."

Although his family had no contact with the outside world, nothing, big or small, happened in Tianjun escaped his notice. (End of Chapter)
