Chapter 711: A third-grade Confucian who wants to change his profession
The pace of the Jin Emperor's Northern Expedition did not stop because of successive battles and victories.
The battle reports from the front spread like snowflakes throughout the Jin Dynasty.
Not just domestic people.
Even the students of White Deer Academy guarding Zhentian Mansion were awed by the exciting fighting spirit.
I wish I could also charge north, kill the powerful enemy, and achieve great military exploits.
In Jiuyuan City, the mood for war is strong.
Especially after Li Changan's Five Elements avatar was stationed in Jiuyuan City and repelled dozens of attacks led by the third-level demon king, many people thought that they could go north to fight.
But they were all rejected by Li Changan.
Even if a third-grade scholar asked for a fight, they would all shake their heads.
This made many third-grade scholars frown and feel unwilling.
“Are we being too steady?”
"The four prefectures in the north, from east to west, are Fengchuan, Hengtian, Julu, and Zhentian."
"Not to mention Fengchuan, which was led by Emperor Jin, even Hengtian and Julu Prefectures have already sent out large armies, crossed the border, and pushed the front thousands of miles forward."
"We are the only ones left in Zhentian Mansion, still holding on to our original position."
"The most advanced position is still Jiuyuan City."
"If this continues, our White Deer Academy will lose all face."
Several third-level scholars found Zhao Hongshan, hoping that Zhao Hongshan could persuade Li Changan.
"Emperor Jin asked Li Changan to take charge of all war affairs in Zhentian Mansion, but he was too safe."
"Can we get him to give the order to march north?"
"Otherwise, we will not be able to achieve even an inch of success, and we will feel unwilling to do so."
Zhao Hongshan shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry."
"Chang'an also told me about sticking to Zhentian Mansion."
"This is something he and Emperor Jin agreed upon. The Fengchuan Mansion in the east will attack with all its strength, which requires a stable rear area."
"Zhentian Mansion serves as the backbone of the entire Northern Territory. Once there is a problem in the other three mansions, it can quickly provide support."
"It's still a top priority."
"And we suspect that the demon tribe may have another conspiracy, so we must not be anxious."
Some third-grade scholars are impatient, "Could it be that the demon clan can release even a second-grade demon king and use it as a pawn in a conspiracy?"
"Now the northern front is tilted, with Zhentian Mansion at the bottom and Fengchuan at the top."
"If we can also go north and advance together with Fengchuan to form a giant pocket array across the four prefectures, we can completely eliminate the demon clan's active forces as much as possible."
Zhao Hongshan smiled and comforted,
"Have you forgotten the Tao of Talisman?"
"The situation of war is ever-changing."
"Today's victory does not mean final victory."
"The longer the war drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Jin Dynasty, and the domestic strength will increase by one point."
"We stick to Zhentian Mansion just to delay time and give Dajin more opportunities to grow."
He looked at these third-grade scholars in front of him and said, "If you move forward bravely, you will be prosperous."
"But such a fierce battle is like fire cooking oil. It is a big gamble for both sides."
"Once we lose, it could lead to a complete defeat."
"The war has changed too quickly, which is extremely detrimental to the advancement of the Jin Dynasty."
"Right now, Zhentian Mansion is safe and sound, with minimal casualties. It's the best time to recuperate and train our troops."
"The battle line seems to still be in Jiuyuan City, but the garrison in Jiuyuan City has been rotated several times, so that the soldiers in the rear can get battlefield training."
“The effect is also quite significant.”
"Don't worry, everyone, if we really want to fight, we won't be disappointed."
Saying that, Zhao Hongshan pointed in the direction of Zhentian Fucheng,
"Chang'an has been cultivating recently. There is no second-grade strong man in charge, and the Northern Expedition is all out. To be honest, I don't feel confident..."
When these third-grade scholars who asked for a fight heard this, they also turned their attention.
"In the past few days, I have also been studying the third-grade Tongtian realm of Talisman Dao, and I have discovered many amazing places."
"I don't know how he came up with it."
"Yes, every time I study the mysteries of the Tongtian Realm, I feel terrified."
"It is fundamentally different from our culture, no wonder it is incompatible."
"Wen Dao believes that the law of heaven is a ship, and the rules of heaven and earth are the reins hanging from the ship. After integrating with them, and then integrating into the ship of heaven, you can board the other shore."
"But Fu Dao doesn't think so. It says very clearly that after integrating into a ship, whether you can get off the ship becomes a big problem."
"Integrate with the rules of heaven and earth, and finally merge with the way of heaven. If you can't break away, it will only make the ship of heaven get bigger and bigger, and you will drift in the sea of misery all your life."
"It's better to build a boat yourself, and you can disembark after landing on the other side."
Zhao Hongshan also has a deep understanding of what these people say.
During this period, as third-level scholars in the Wensheng Palace, they each had a copy of the cultivation method for the third-level Talisman Realm.
The above description of the Tongtian Realm made everyone tremble with fear.
The emphasis on Fu Dao is getting higher and higher.
This is not just an immature practice method, but a pioneering work that completely separates it from literature and Taoism.
Even if it is currently only at the third level, in fact, the Tongtian Qingjing has reached the same level as the first level of Wen Dao.
It even crushes ordinary existences in terms of combat power.
This kind of practice method is enough to make them excited.
Because it is not just theory, Li Changan has reached this level and set an example for everyone.
"Mr. Zhao Xian, do you know how strong Li Changan is now?"
"If we can be compared with Emperor Jin, a few of us should be able to start training in advance."
"Wang Tiangang's cultivation speed is astonishing. With the eight-color magic talisman, he has entered the fourth-level palm star realm. It is estimated that he will be able to return to the third-level realm in a short time."
"At that time, we will be able to truly crush all third-grade beings."
"His current palm star realm alone already makes him no weaker than a third-grade scholar who has not used Qi Luck Grammar."
"I have seen him perform star talismans. The power is truly terrifying, and his physical body can pull the power of stars. Every move he makes is more powerful than a martial artist of the same level."
"If we really want to fight, I'm afraid that someone who has just entered the third level of Confucianism will definitely be able to beat him."
Zhao Hongshan also noticed that these people all wanted to switch to talismans.
There is still some time before the real final battle, enough time for them to switch to Talismanism and return to the third level.
So their minds began to come alive.
There is no doubt about Fu Dao's power. Who wouldn't want to have stronger combat power before the decisive battle?
Zhao Hongshan shook his head, "It's hard to say how strong he is."
"However, the war in Zhentian Mansion is not intense at the moment. If you want to change cultivation, we can discuss it."
"A small number of people will gradually change their training to ensure that their top-level immediate combat ability will not be affected. There must be no problem."
Several third-level scholars nodded, "Well, since the Northern Expedition failed, we can't waste time."
Just when the third-grade scholars at the Wensheng Palace of White Deer Academy were discussing how to allocate the quota for converting to Talismanism,
Battle reports came back from the Fengchuan front line.
Emperor Jin once again defeated the enemy, killing twenty-seven third-level demon kings, and marched thirty thousand miles north.
Almost at the same time, battle reports came back from Jiuyuan City on the front line of Zhentian Mansion.
The demon army seems to be gathering, with more than 30 million troops, ready to attack the city.
