Chapter 773: The Place of Enlightenment, Cultivating Righteousness

"I will definitely live up to your trust."

Ci Song was excited, bowed deeply to the man, and said solemnly.

"No need to be polite, I was able to become a sub-sage in the past, thanks to this Confucian swordsmanship, now I give it to you, and I also hope that you can gain something from it and carry forward Confucianism."

"I will do my best." Ci Song said with a bow.

"Xin Tong and I are also very sad and heartbroken about your father's past. At that time, I was sleeping, and Xin Tong was looking for the Chaos Divine Lotus in the Chaos Realm, which led to this disaster in the Master's Hall."

At this point, Mr. Qiu slowly raised his hand, and an old shadow appeared in front of Ci Song. The man was wearing a green Confucian robe with a "Kong" character engraved on the chest of the Confucian robe. He held a green bamboo stick, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was cold. This man was Kong Xiuran who was killed by Ran Qiu with a palm.

"This man was a deputy hall master of the Master's Hall back then. It was he who advocated taking the Wenyun Orb directly from your father, which led to the tragedy. I have already dealt with this man, and it can be regarded as an understanding of your father's affairs back then."

"Thank you, senior." Ci Song bowed again.

"Yes, Xintong, you take Ci Song back to continue to participate in the trial. I will stay here for a while and review the time of the past."

"Yes, teacher."

After hearing this, Chen Xintong bowed to the man and walked away with Ci Song.

"Ci Song, don't mention what happened today to others, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for me and the teacher."

Chen Xintong walked out of the courtyard with Ci Song and reminded him.

"Junior understands."

Ci Song nodded after hearing this, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ran, I will keep my mouth shut about what happened today and will not reveal anything to the outside world."

"That's very good."

After hearing this, Chen Xintong nodded with satisfaction.

. . . . . .

Half an hour later, the second round of the trial for all the students of Tianguan has ended. Among the thousand Tianguan students, 980 students have passed the trial, and only 20 students failed the trial and were eliminated.

Among these 20 students, 17 students were only half a step away, and were eliminated because they exceeded the time. If they were given another half a quarter of an hour, they would win. There are also three students who were eliminated because of their character.

All the students who passed the test can practice in Chen Xintong's library for a month, which is considered as a reward for passing the second round of the trial.

As for Beiyuan, who passed the test first, after the time in the library was over, he was sent to a place called "the land of enlightenment" by Chen Xintong, and those students who passed the test will also be sent to the "land of enlightenment" one after another after the trial.

As for the first one to enter the "land of enlightenment", it was Ci Song. At this moment, he was re-practicing Confucian swordsmanship under the guidance of Chen Xintong.

"The Land of Sudden Enlightenment" is surrounded by mountains, with layers of peaks and ridges, and clouds and mists lingering in between, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a fairyland.

The mountain streams are gurgling, clear and transparent, and the sound of water is gurgling, which is in harmony with the occasional bird calls from afar. The wild flowers by the stream are blooming, colorful and fragrant. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, interweaving with the moss and fallen leaves on the ground, forming a series of vivid pictures.

Of course, although this place is called "the Land of Sudden Enlightenment", the effect is still much worse than the real enlightenment, but compared with ordinary cultivation, the effect is excellent.

Practicing in the Land of Sudden Enlightenment for one day is equivalent to practicing in the outside world for three days. Not only that, practicing in the Land of Sudden Enlightenment can also increase the probability of entering the state of Sudden Enlightenment.

At this moment, Ci Song sat cross-legged under a tree. In front of him, the bamboo slips of the Confucian swordsmanship were suspended, and Ci Song was making seals with both hands, constantly comprehending the swordsmanship in the bamboo slips.

As Ci Song comprehended, countless sword qi condensed around him, and each wisp of sword qi exuded a strong sense of righteousness. These righteous qi continued to merge into Ci Song's body, making the righteous qi in Ci Song's body more and more vigorous.

In his dantian, talent was constantly transformed into righteous qi, and then transformed into talent again. This process was repeated, and the speed of transformation became faster and faster.

The first move of the gentleman sword, righteous qi, was to transform talent into righteous qi and drive the sword with righteous qi. Only in this way can the power of Confucian swordsmanship be brought to the extreme.

The simplest and most intuitive way to distinguish the strength of Confucian swordsmanship is to see the speed of talent transformation into righteous qi, and the speed of righteous qi transformation into talent.

If the transformation speed is fast, then the righteousness will continue to flow, making the sword moves more powerful. If the transformation speed is slow, there will be a short gap in the righteousness. Although this time will be very short, the high-level fights often decide the outcome in an instant.

And Chen Xintong also gave Ci Song guidance from time to time: "Having righteousness in the chest can drive away all evil invasions. The righteousness can be integrated into the body, the sword, the eyes, the mouth, and the steps."

"You are mainly studying swordsmanship, but you must not neglect the six arts of Confucianism. Books can cultivate talent, etiquette can cultivate the mind, music can move the world, control can observe all things, and shooting can penetrate the sun."

"As for numbers, they can perform the changes of all things, deduce the principles of heaven and earth, and explore the secrets of the universe. If you can integrate the six arts of gentlemen into your swordsmanship, you can bring the power of swordsmanship to the extreme."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master." Ci Song sent a voice transmission to Chen Xintong to thank him.

Seeing this, Chen Xintong smiled slightly, raised his hand and sealed Ci Song in a separate space to avoid being disturbed by others.

In this way, two months passed, and the students were gradually teleported from the library to the "Land of Sudden Enlightenment" from the library to practice meditation.

After the Tianguan students had been in the Land of Sudden Enlightenment for a full month, Chen Xintong appeared in the square of the Land of Sudden Enlightenment, looking at the students who were in the process of enlightenment, and whispered: "The time is up, let's all stop."

As Chen Xintong's voice fell, the people who were in the process of enlightenment woke up one after another, and consciously stood in the square.

At this moment, all the students looked at Chen Xintong with enthusiasm and admiration. The inheritance contained in Chen Xintong's library exceeded the imagination of all of them. Basically, all the students got the inheritance that was very suitable for themselves from it.

Not to mention the Land of Sudden Enlightenment to assist in cultivation. In just one month, the strength of each of them has improved significantly.

"Next, you will proceed to the third and final round of the trial."

"The rules of the third round of the trial are also very simple. Get the highest score and survive."
