Chapter 800: Purple Air Comes from the East for Three Hundred Miles

Zhou Qiucheng is about to achieve enlightenment!
The purple air was vast and mighty, rising higher and higher like sesame seeds, and could be seen from a thousand miles around. Countless saints came from all directions to watch, secretly seeking protection for Zhou.

As for disturbing?
Who dares to disturb!

Unless someone is from the academy, someone would want to seize Zhou Qiucheng's achievements, but Zhou Qiucheng has always chosen to keep a low profile, and his theories and doctrines have never been made public, so how would others know?

Zhou Qiucheng was different from Chen Sanliang. Chen Sanliang's theory had been spread long ago, and some people had secretly studied it in advance. Zhou Qiucheng's avenue was taught by Zhang Chen, and then he realized it by himself. He had never spread it to the outside world, so others could not compete for it.

"This old fellow Zhou Qiucheng is really quite skilled. He can help him fight his way out of such a desperate situation. It's really incredible." Bai Cang came to Zhang Chen's side without knowing when. At this time, he was dressed as a man with ordinary clothes on, standing next to Zhang Chen and looking inconspicuous.

"Zhou Qiu is in luck." Zhang Chen replied.

"We went to Kyoto and this time we have help. If Zhou Qiucheng can really comprehend the key points and achieve Yang God, he will definitely be selected by the academy to become a new teacher. Then we will have another ally." Bai Cang said.

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this. Bai Cang was right. Zhou Qiucheng's qualifications, background, and reputation were all sufficient. As long as he could attain Yangshen, he would definitely be able to enter the academy and become one of the most prominent Confucian and Taoist masters in the world.

Zhang Chen thought of the Confucian masters. They were really bizarre, especially the grudge between the young master and Huang Chao, which made Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing.

I remember that Huang Chao spat into Xiao Xiansheng’s mutton offal soup. Xiao Xiansheng actually beat Huang Chao up and then ate it without any expression. It can be seen that the other party is a ruthless person.

"When you arrive in Kyoto, if you can join the Imperial Academy, you must do so. There is great fortune in the Imperial Academy, which will bring you incredible benefits." Bai Cang said to Zhang Chen.

"Benefits? What benefits?" Zhang Chen immediately became interested when he heard that.

Seeing Zhang Chen's interest, Bai Cang said, "I heard from the spies of the demon clan that the academy seems to have opened the door to a new world. I don't know if it is the legendary spiritual world or a small world opened up by ancient gods, but there must be incredible creations in it."

"The door to the new world?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard that.

If the academy really opened up a small world, that would be an incredible achievement.

"It is said that the reason why the Dasheng court did not spare the time to deal with the demon clan is because the academy has made a major discovery, so now the Dasheng court has invested all its energy into it. If Zhou Qiucheng can join the academy, he will definitely be able to obtain core secrets. By then, you will also have great luck and may be able to get a share of the pie." Bai Cang said.

Zhang Chen's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and it was obvious that he was already excited: "Let's see if Zhou Qiucheng can achieve Yangshen Dao first. It's too early to talk about joining the academy now."

The academy actually found a way to open up the spiritual world, or discovered a new world. This is absolutely incredible. I must get involved, and perhaps there is hope of profiting from it.

Just as the two were discussing, the purple airflow grew longer and faster, and by the time the sun in the sky emitted the first ray of sunlight, the purple air coming from the east had expanded to a hundred miles. The purple air of a hundred miles was like an upside-down river in the sky, looking majestic and spectacular, full of majesty.

The next moment, the purple sky river twisted and turned into a purple light band coming from the horizon and pouring into Zhou Qiucheng's body. Then Zhou Qiucheng's body transformed rapidly. Thunderous sounds sounded in Zhou Qiucheng's body. Then Zhou Qiucheng slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

The aura that belonged only to the powerful Yangshen spread in all directions, alarming countless powerful people wherever it passed.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou for achieving enlightenment as a Yang God. I am Wenhou Lü Dabu. Please come into the city and let me hear your story." Wenhou Lü Dabu was the first to come forward. He turned into a stream of light and landed in front of Zhou Qiucheng. His eyes were full of blazing light. He extended an invitation to Zhou Qiucheng: "Many fellow Taoists have come from nearby and want to pay a visit to you. This desolate mountain is obviously not a good place to pay a visit. Please come into the city and let me hear your story. I have prepared a banquet for you."

Although he was a tenth-rank god, he still lowered his posture in front of the powerful Yang God who had achieved self-enlightenment.

One is a strong man who relies on external forces to become strong, and the other is a strong man who relies on his own enlightenment. There is no comparison between the two at all.

After hearing what Wen Hou said, Zhou Qiucheng looked at the hundreds of divine lights circulating in the night sky, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to salute Wen Hou: "In that case, thank you very much, Wen Hou."

Zhou Qiucheng and Wen Hou turned into streams of light and left. At the same time, various divine lights also followed them to Wen Hou's territory. In a blink of an eye, the convoy became deserted.

“I didn’t expect that even a powerful Yangshen couldn’t avoid the social interactions.” Zhang Chen said with feeling as he looked at Zhou Qiucheng’s receding back.

"Let alone Zhou Qiucheng, even if you defeat the Human King, you can't avoid the human relationships and worldly affairs." After listening to Zhang Chen's words, Bai Cang said, "The higher you climb, the more you can't avoid the human relationships and worldly affairs." "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I have practiced to this point, and if I still care about the human relationships and worldly affairs, then wouldn't my practice be in vain?" Zhang Chen muttered, turned and walked into the tent.

Seeing this, Bai Cang shook his head and left, with a strange look in his eyes: "With Zhou Qiucheng's enlightenment, the academy in Kyoto will probably be bustling."

Zhang Chen returned to his tent to continue his meditation. In the middle of the night, the air in front of the tent twisted. Zhou Qiucheng appeared outside Zhang Chen's tent with renewed energy and knocked on the door. "Boy, are you asleep?"

Zhang Chen put away his meditation formula, his face full of helplessness: "Sir, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night instead of going to sleep?"

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, Zhou Qiucheng pushed open the curtain of the tent and walked in. He was holding a bunch of things in his hand and placed them on the small table. Then he came to the oil lamp and pointed at it. He saw that the oil lamp had been lit.

Zhou Qiucheng reeked of alcohol, but he was not drunk.

"Today I have encountered a happy event, which has swept away all the depression in my heart. I am very happy. If I can't have a drink with you, I won't feel happy." Zhou Qiucheng said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes when he heard that and glanced at the items Zhou Qiucheng placed on the table, which were a jar of wine and beef jerky.

"Drinking with them is just a way of dealing with the ways of the world, but drinking with you is really fun." Zhou Qiucheng said this, but then he quickly said, "No, I can't call you kid anymore. You have been very kind to me. I can only achieve what I have today thanks to you. You will be my great benefactor from now on. From now on, I will call you 'sir' and treat you as a disciple."

"Don't do those empty words. You are sixty years older than me. If I really become your teacher, I am afraid that I will shorten my life. If the scholars in this world knew about this, they would definitely scold me to death!" Zhang Chen opened the wine jar and said, "You know I don't care about those empty names. If you call me teacher, I don't know how much attention it will attract. We will still be like before, you are still my teacher, and I am still a disciple of the academy."

Zhou Qiucheng knew Zhang Chen's character. After hearing what Zhang Chen said, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes!!!"

Then Zhou Qiucheng took the wine jar and filled two bowls with wine. He held up the wine cup and said to Zhang Chen, "This first bowl is for your guidance! In the future, as long as you ask, as long as it does not violate my principles, I will never refuse."

Zhang Chen picked up the wine cup and clinked it with Zhou Qiucheng, then asked jokingly, "Now that you have achieved the Yang Godhood, what do you feel?"

"It's incomparable to Shinto." Zhou Qiucheng answered without thinking.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The divine way is the power of the outside world, not one's own. It is difficult to control it as if it were an arm, and there is always a sense of emptiness. I only know it but not why. After I achieved the Yang God, I knew both the what and the why, which is no longer the same as before." Zhou Qiucheng said.

Hearing Zhou Qiucheng's words, Zhang Chen was surprised: "Is there such a difference?"

"What a huge difference!" Zhou Qiucheng's eyes revealed a sigh, and then his mood became a little depressed: "It's a pity that I woke up too late, otherwise perhaps more people in Jinling City could survive."

"Sir, even if he had attained enlightenment in Jinling City at that time, it would not have affected the situation, because under the circumstances at that time, let alone one more Yangshen Zhenren, even if there were three or five more, it would not have been able to change the overall situation." Zhang Chen saw the annoyance in Zhou Qiucheng's heart, and hurriedly spoke to comfort Zhou Qiucheng, fearing that he would get stuck in a dead end.

Zhou Qiucheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, and just picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "Drink!"

"Sir, now that you have attained Yang Godhood, what are your plans?" Zhang Chen asked.

Zhou Qiucheng paused for a moment before saying, "I should find a place to spread my knowledge and start my journey of enlightenment. When my cultivation catches up with Chen Sanliang, I will definitely discuss the Dao with this fellow. I will fight him again and avenge the countless scholars in Jinling! Blood debts must be paid with blood."

Zhang Chen paused drinking when he heard this, looked Zhou Qiucheng up and down, and shook his head again.

"What? Do you look down on me?" Zhou Qiucheng was immediately displeased after seeing Zhang Chen's actions. What did the other party's shaking head mean?
"I think you probably have no chance to catch up with Chen Sanliang. Going to find Chen Sanliang to discuss Taoism is just like hitting a rock with an egg." Zhang Chen said.

"How could that be? My selfless way of heaven is very strong." Zhou Qiucheng was dissatisfied.

"By the time when Chen Sanliang's avenue was spread across Jiangnan, he had already stepped into the twelfth level. Why do you think Chen Sanliang would lower his status to discuss Taoism with you?" Zhang Chen questioned.
