Chapter 443 'Could it be that you are...' (Please support me by voting and rewarding me at the end of the month!)

Brush and pull!

Thanks to this strange energy, even though Tianxuan closed his eyes, he still felt that he had never seen the world as clearly as he did today. Even the most difficult thing, seeing himself clearly, was easily done by Tianxuan who was now in a mysterious state. Around his body, golden energy lingered, which was extremely abundant.

Tianxuan's intuition told him that if he could refine all of this power, he would be able to break through to the Qianyuan realm, or even a higher level. However, for some unknown reason, only the tiniest bit of pure energy would be attracted by the flesh and enter Tianxuan's body, becoming the nourishment that boosted his power and purified his thoughts.

[Could it be that this energy is the legendary power of faith? ]

Tianxuanfu is as good as your heart desires, and such thoughts arise.

The power of faith is a very special power. In the memory of the previous life, the power of faith can not only purify the soul and help increase the power, but also has the power to create gods. In some worlds, there were originally no gods, but believers hoped that a god would be born to protect them. Over the years, such a god was really born.

Even if it is a human being, if he can obtain a massive amount of power of faith and make believers believe that he possesses a powerful power in a certain aspect, then he may be able to transform into a god in that aspect.

hum!
Although Tianxuan didn't know whether his guess was true or not, he was 70% to 80% sure. With the help of the power of faith, the twelve acupuncture points that trapped Tianxuan were connected as if it were a natural process. A mysterious low hum came out of Tianxuan's body, and only he could hear it. Then, Tianxuan's thoughts returned to his body.

[If this energy is really the power of faith, then the reason why I have such a strong power of faith must be due to the primordial famine. If I can refine it completely, and then find a direction that suits me, and subtly guide the people, then I may be able to obtain something that even His Majesty has not been able to obtain - immortality! ]

After his mind returned, Tianxuan was not in a hurry to adapt to the cultivation level in his body that had reached the late Huiyang Realm. He closed his eyes, and an unprecedented thought arose in his heart. For a mortal, the thought could be described as treasonous.

………………

Linzi.

The capital of the destroyed State of Qi, it was the most important commodity exchange center in Qi, with convenient transportation.

Originally, with the fall of Qi, Linzi would gradually disappear into obscurity like Handan, Daliang and other cities, becoming a city with only a glorious history. However, after Zheng Ge unified the country, he ordered the reopening of the Jixia Academy and invited Xunzi, the Confucian master who had served as the Jixia Academy's chief priest three times, to serve as the chief priest of this academy controlled by the empire.

Over the past three years, hundreds of outstanding talents have emerged from the Jixia Academy to serve the empire, including Confucianists, Confucianists, Legalists, Military Strategists, and other scholars. As a result, students from all over the world flocked to the Jixia Academy to seek an opportunity. As a result, the city of Linzi did not become desolate with the fall of Qi, but became more prosperous.

Merchants took advantage of this and opened stores in Linzi City to make more money.

There is an inn!

In broad daylight, the golden sunlight fell on the wooden plaque, making the somewhat strange and even rather casual name glow.

"Is there an inn?"

A young man wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a long sword, with a handsome face, appeared at the door of an inn. He looked at the inn with the door wide open but not many people inside, and muttered with a slightly raised corner of his thin mouth.

"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

At this time, the waiter in the inn discovered the uninvited guest standing at the door, walked out of the inn, and spoke quickly.

When their eyes met, the waiter, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, recognized the person and froze in his place for a moment, as if his acupuncture points had been pressed. "You kid, why don't you hurry up and invite the guests in?"

There was an inn with only one waiter and one shopkeeper. In the increasingly prosperous city of Linzi, where people were coming and going, it was inconspicuous. The shopkeeper of the inn had a big belly and a bloated figure. It was said that his surname was Ding, so others called him Cook Ding or Fatty Ding. Seeing the waiter standing there in a daze, Cook Ding walked out carelessly and said casually.

"Take a bite!"

Looking at the fat man with a bloated figure, a strong smell of oil smoke and a kitchen knife in his hand, the young man smiled slightly and walked into the inn on his own.

When passing by the pretty waiter, the young man slapped her on the shoulder and said casually:
"I haven't seen you for a while, don't you recognize me?"

Bang!
The waiter finally came back to his senses, with a look of shock on his handsome face. He turned around and looked at the young man who was sitting at a wooden table. Then, the waiter made an incredible move, which frightened the chef:

"Your subordinate Shi Lan pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty?"

Cook Ding saw at a glance that this young man in Taoist robes was not ordinary, and suspected that he was probably from the Taoist Tianren Sect. So he personally came out to entertain him, so as not to accidentally offend him and cause trouble for himself and the inn. Unexpectedly, the usually well-behaved child, Shi Lan, called him Junshang.

Wearing a Taoist robe and looking like a king, his identity is obvious!
Cook Ding's face was filled with panic and he cried out in panic.

"Could it be that you are Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi?"

"good."

Faced with the shock on Pao Ding's face, Tianxuan nodded slightly and acknowledged his identity.

Boom!

The inn where Pao Ding lived was only a few miles away from the reopened Jixia Academy.

The Jixia Academy is the earliest government-run institution of higher learning in the world, as well as the earliest social science academy and government think tank. It was first built during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi and was located near Jimen in Linzi, the capital of Qi.

During its heyday, it housed almost all the schools of thought among the "Hundred Schools of Thought" at that time, including the main ones such as Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Nominalism, Military, Agriculture, Yin-Yang, and Light and Heavy. It brought together about a thousand wise men from all over the world, including famous scholars such as Mencius (Meng Ke), Chunyu Kun, Zou Zi (Zou Yan), Tian Pian, Shen Zi (Shen Dao), Shen Zi (Shen Buhai), Jie Zi, Ji Zhen, Juan Zi (Huan Yuan), Peng Meng, Yin Wen Zi (Yin Wen), Tian Ba, Er Shuo, Lu Lian Zi (Lu Zhonglian), Zou Zi (Zou Shi), Xun Zi (Xun Kuang), etc.

All scholars who came to the Jixia Academy, regardless of their academic factions, ideological viewpoints, political inclinations, nationality, age, and qualifications, could freely express their academic opinions, making the Jixia Academy a gathering center for various schools of thought at the time. These scholars argued, challenged, and absorbed each other, becoming a true example of "a hundred schools of thought contending."

Originally, the Jixia Academy was to be destroyed along with the demise of the Qi State of the Tian Clan, but Zheng Ge saw the important role that the Jixia Academy could play in cultivating talents. After the demise of the Qi State, he did not abolish the Jixia Academy, but turned it into a tool for cultivating talents and winning the hearts of the people for the Qin Empire.

While Tianxuan was talking to Fatty Ding and Xiao Yu, a loud roar came from the direction of the Jixia Academy, causing the ground beneath their feet to shake.
