From the Magnificent Heart in his hand, brilliant light surged.
Golden characters shimmered faintly on its surface.
A sacred and transcendent aura permeated the air.
"This is the Confucianism Origin, the Magnificent Heart," the Man in Bright Yellow said, his eyes exceptionally bright.
His goal was not merely limited to the Confucianism Origin.
It was the Three Teachings Origin.
In Buddhism and Daoism, there were also Origins, or rather, special Physiques, similar to the Confucian School's Magnificent Heart.
The Man in Bright Yellow put away the Magnificent Heart, his gaze sweeping towards the Sheji Universe in the distance.
His eyes held a profound depth.
"That fluctuation earlier, if I'm not mistaken, should be the Confucian School's Immortal Weapon, the Celestial Chapter Scroll."
"But it wasn't caused by Han Ping'an. Who could it be?"
"Could it be that within the Confucian School, there exists someone more qualified to activate the Celestial Chapter Scroll than Han Ping'an, who possesses the Magnificent Heart?"
"Or is there a Confucianism Origin even purer than the Magnificent Heart?"
The Man in Bright Yellow pondered in his heart.
"Moreover, Chu Xiao, is his surname also Chu? In the future, I'd like to meet this person."
The Man in Bright Yellow chuckled, then with a flick of his hand, he utterly annihilated Han Ping'an's corpse, destroying all traces, before turning and departing.
Meanwhile, at Jixia Academy.
The blood pigeon message had not yet arrived.
So, Jixia Academy remained relatively calm.
The most discussed topic, naturally, was Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao had arrived at an extremely simple dwelling.
This was a desolate mountain, located deep within Jixia Academy, with only a thatched hut on it.
"Come in," a faint voice came.
Jun Xiaoyao entered the thatched hut.
He found an old man in black robes, sitting cross-legged on an ancient futon, with long white eyebrows and a calm demeanor.
There was no particularly vast aura emanating from him, nor any Imperial Might permeating the air.
He was like a bottomless ancient well.
But Jun Xiaoyao could keenly sense that this old man was extraordinary.
At the very least, his foundation was above that of the three Venerable Masters.
"Junior greets Venerable Master."
Jun Xiaoyao's demeanor was composed, neither servile nor overbearing, as he slightly cupped his hands.
"As expected of Yun Tianya's son. To be honest, you've exceeded this old man's expectations," Venerable Master said with a faint smile.
Jun Xiaoyao also smiled.
"Senior overpraised me; Junior was merely fortunate."
"Possessing the Sacred Heart of Magnificence cannot be called mere luck."
"Senior, you called me here, so there must be something you wish to discuss, right?" Jun Xiaoyao said directly.
Venerable Master looked at Jun Xiaoyao and said.
"Do you know what it means to possess the Sacred Heart of Magnificence?"
"To promote Confucianism and prosper the Confucian Dao?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Yes, but it's far more than that."
"Jixia Academy, or rather, the Three Teachings, actually have quite a few adversaries."
"The Black Calamity Race is just one of them. Some Karma will naturally be explained to you when the time comes."
"But you just need to know that you must be careful now," Venerable Master said.
"Oh, can the Sacred Heart of Magnificence itself bring danger?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Have you heard of the Three Teachings Origin?" Venerable Master asked.
"I have not," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
"The so-called Three Teachings Origin, strictly speaking, can be called three types of Origin Talents."
"These are the Magnificent Heart, the Immaculate Buddha Embryo, and the Source of Myriad Daos, representing the Origin Talents of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, respectively."
"The Origin Talents of the Three Teachings are extremely powerful; cultivating them to the deepest level can even manifest the Three Teachings Heavenly Gate phenomenon, suppressing all enemies."
"In the past, the Three Teachings relied on this method to suppress many enemies, even figures of great background were suppressed."
Hearing Venerable Master's explanation, Jun Xiaoyao also sighed slightly.
It seemed the waters of the Three Teachings were much deeper than he had imagined.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao had thought that the Sacred Heart of Magnificence was merely a good Cultivation Talent.
Now it seemed he had underestimated this Origin Talent.
However, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly thought of something.
"Since the Origin Talents of the Three Teachings are so powerful, wouldn't gathering them all on one person make them invincible?"
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Venerable Master's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
He said, "Actually, something like that once happened."
"Oh, someone once obtained all the Three Teachings Origin Talents?" Jun Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"That's right. There was once a traitor who coveted the Three Teachings Origin, proclaimed himself the Lord of the Three Teachings, and established a force, attempting to control the Three Teachings."
"That person brought immense chaos and disaster to the Three Teachings."
Jun Xiaoyao also sighed in his heart upon hearing this.
That person was quite arrogant, even wanting to become the Lord of the Three Teachings and control them.
"However, I must admit, although that traitor was arrogant, he had the capital to be arrogant."
"After he seized the Three Teachings Origin, he created his own Cultivation Technique, integrating the strengths of the Three Teachings, and its power was extraordinary."
"Even the Divine Abilities of the Three Teachings' powerhouses were completely suppressed by him."
"Oh, this person also possessed such Aptitude?"
Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised.
The martial arts of the Three Teachings were not so easy to fuse.
After all, the Origins of the Three Teachings were completely different.
If forcibly fused, not only would the power not double, but it might even backfire, leading to Qi Deviation.
This was not something an ordinary person could do.
Although if it were Jun Xiaoyao himself, he should also be able to fuse the Divine Abilities of the Three Teachings.
But for others to be able to do so, that Aptitude was truly terrifying.
Even if not a Heaven-Defying level Prodigy Aptitude, it wouldn't be far off.
"Then who finally subdued this person...?" Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat curious.
Venerable Master glanced at Jun Xiaoyao: "The Dao Emperor."
"The Dao Emperor..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
He knew that among the founders of the Three Teachings, Sacred Confucian and Heavenly Buddha were no longer present.
Only the Dao Emperor still existed.
And that Dao Emperor's identity was also very mysterious.
Like a deity in the world, existing only in legends, rarely appearing.
But one could imagine what Realm that Dao Emperor's Cultivation had reached, capable of even slaying a Heaven-Defying Prodigy who had obtained the Three Teachings Origin.
Venerable Master sighed, "Although this old man is from the Confucian School, I must admit, the Dao Emperor's Cultivation is indeed unparalleled in the world."
"That Three Teachings traitor had already mastered the martial arts of the Three Teachings, capable of breaking many Divine Abilities of the Three Teachings."
"But he was still suppressed by the Dao Emperor. This can only mean that the Dao Emperor's Cultivation has transcended the original Dao and reached a completely new Realm."
"Now, among the Three Teachings, the Daoist sect also has a subtle advantage."
"But now it's different. Jixia Academy has you."
Venerable Master looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with a glimmer of light.
It was as if he was looking at hope.
One must know, the Sacred Heart of Magnificence was only cultivated by the Sacred Confucian.
And Jun Xiaoyao, with boundless prospects, if nothing unexpected happened, the future revitalization of Jixia Academy and the promotion of Confucianism would all depend on him.
"Take this token."
Venerable Master flicked his hand, giving an ancient bronze token to Jun Xiaoyao.
"This is..." Jun Xiaoyao took the token.
The front was engraved with the character 'Confucian', and the back with the character 'Sacred'.
"This is the Confucian School's Sacred Token. Seeing this token is like seeing this old man."
"From now on, you are the Confucian School Order Holder, representing the face of the Confucian School and Jixia Academy."
"Within Jixia Academy, your status is on par with the three Venerable Masters."
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao was also surprised.
This status was absolutely maximized.
One must know that even the previous Han Ping'an, though called Junior Martial Uncle, was still a step below the three Venerable Masters.
It seemed Jixia Academy truly valued him highly.
"Junior will not fail Senior's high expectations," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Although he didn't know what the future held.
Saying some pleasantries now was always correct.
At this moment, Venerable Master seemed to sense something, and said faintly, "It seems there's something outside. You should go take a look."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, then excused himself.
After leaving Venerable Master's residence.
He saw Song Daosheng rushing over, and upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, he shouted.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, something big has happened! Junior Martial Uncle Han, he has fallen!"
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, but a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
Venerable Master had just told him about the Three Teachings traitor.
Could it be that he had already arrived?
