Chapter 6, Confucius said: Haoran

Zhao Rong listened with great interest. Although he did not fully understand and still had some doubts, he at least grasped the general idea

Zhao Rong tilted his head, avoiding her gaze, and focused on the poem on the desk.

Suddenly, he frowned, but it quickly relaxed again

It gave a self-deprecating smile

... ...

However, people do change. How many childhood sweethearts ultimately end up together

Alright, alright, I am useless, I am a burden, please do not be angry. If you were to die from anger, who would I talk to at midnight when I can't sleep in the future

Everyone in the residence is aware that you asked the Second Young Master to purchase an intercontinental ticket to South Xiaoyao Continent

In fact, he does not acknowledge the words of the young girl; she is still immersed in the emotions of their childhood trio, believing that there exists a childhood bond between him and Zhao Lingfei

The profundity of this realm lies in a single word: Qi. The human body is a microcosm, and... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just know that the two characters "Haoran" taken by the greatest sage of Confucianism carry immense significance.

A sudden clap of spring thunder resounds, dark clouds loom overhead, as if something is brewing

Although that little girl seems to me to be merely a mediocre innate sword embryo, it is still not a problem for her to nurture a personal flying sword

Looking at the piece "Lantingji Xu" on the paper, he smiled and thought to himself, not bad, it seems that his calligraphy has not deteriorated much

In the end, Zhao Rong mhetushucomcom still did not provide Qian'er with a satisfactory answer

Zhao Rong smiled and remarked, "It seems that you were quite a distinguished person in your lifetime"

"Can you understand what I am writing?" Zhao Rong put down his pen, astonished.

The promotion from the Fuyou Realm to the Haoran Realm requires the infusion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body. Sensing this energy is a crucial step, and it serves as a barrier that keeps countless seekers of the Dao at bay. The energy of heaven and earth is exceedingly complex; how can one unravel it and find the unique spiritual energy?

Zhao Rong had long been accustomed to its sharp tongue and was not angered. Curiously, he asked: "Haoran Realm? What level of cultivation is this? Why can one advance to this realm through poetry and verse?"

Who told you that I was going to leave

The little girl walked away in a gloomy mood

In the emotional relationship between two individuals, any unilateral initiative from either party is ineffective

However, the cultivation world is vast, and there are many talented and extraordinary individuals. The methods of Qi training are diverse and peculiar, and the realm of Haoran does not necessarily have to follow the Confucian path. Otherwise, how can the other schools of thought find their place?

Moreover, yesterday, while I was helping you organize your belongings, I accidentally came across your luggage... you took everything that Aunt Liu left for you, are you not planning to come back?

At this point, she slowly lowered her head and twisted her hands

Return to the proud path

Zhao Lingfei is set to inherit the Duke of Jingnan's residence, and he is merely a reason for her not to marry outside; yet he does not wish to live another life as an emotionless tool, he desires to venture out and truly explore this bizarre and colorful world

He did not know what to say

Fuyou Realm is the junction for Sword Cultivators, Dao Cultivators, and Martial Cultivators. Martial Cultivation is a different path, while the distinction between Sword Cultivation and Dao Cultivation lies in whether one can manifest their innate flying sword upon advancing to the Haoran Realm. This sword exists above the Sword Cultivator's heart lake, not as a physical entity, yet it serves as the foundation of the Great Dao, enabling Sword Cultivators to stand proudly at the top of the rankings among countless cultivators.

You mentioned that Qian'er might have manifested her destined flying sword, what does this mean? Where is that flying sword? Why haven't I seen it?

Because he saw a certain possibility... So, does that mean that he himself is not...

Took away that poem

The flowers bloom along the path, and one may return slowly.

I did not expect you to have such abilities; I have underestimated you.

Then why did you still send that letter to the young lady? Do you know how happy she was when she received the letter? She brought us back that very day and didn't even attend the grand competition at Qingyun Terrace in Taiqing Mansion the next day

Zhao Rong, noticing its tone was so arrogant, cautiously asked: "Are you also a sword cultivator?"

The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but rather the chasm of your indifference that makes it impossible for those who love you to cross

The text provided does not contain any content to translate from Simplified Chinese to English.

Qian'er sniffed and said: "At first, Miss and I thought you wanted to return to your hometown to visit relatives after the wedding, but then, on the night of your wedding, you had a quarrel with Miss..."

Well, Zhao Kuo, what happened to your promises of loyalty and discretion? I was initially planning to leave quietly, but it seems that now everyone in the household knows, and I am the one left in the dark

As for the matter of that letter, he has some recollection of it; it was sent together with the family correspondence from the residence

Hmph, stop daydreaming. She is stuck at the bottleneck of the Ascending Realm and only needs an opportunity. Your poem just happened to resonate with her emotions, allowing her to feel the spiritual energy that flows between heaven and earth, which is why she has ascended to the Vast Realm

The only thing that currently confuses him is the jade token that Zhao Lingfei inexplicably asked him for that night, but he has generally figured out the situation now, so this minor detail is no longer important

It sneered, "This method is only effective for the Haoran realm. You may not even be able to reach the Fuyiao realm, so do not harbor such delusions."

... ...

At the same time, I have gained a bit more understanding of Gui You—it is very likely that he was once a person from the Xuanhuang realm, and later left this realm through ascension or other means

It seems that I will not be able to go to the Guozijian today

He promised that he would return again if there was an opportunity in the future

In fact, I didn't really want to go, fearing that meeting her would be somewhat awkward. Of course, it would only be awkward for me; as for her? She probably wouldn't feel much at all.

... ...

However, he believes that this is not the main reason for Zhao Lingfei's return to the residence; her return should primarily be for the celebration of the matriarch's ninetieth birthday, while the wedding with Zhao Rong is merely an arrangement made by the matriarch as an additional matter.

Is Zhao Lingfei beautiful? Of course she is! But she is also very aloof, so much so that it deters people from approaching her.

Zhao Rong noticed that the sky outside was somewhat overcast, so he turned around to fetch an umbrella for her, but when he turned back, the young girl had already disappeared

He picked up the pen again, paused for a moment, and wrote another piece of "The Preface to the Sacred Teaching". This was the very piece he practiced when he first began learning cursive script.

A maid just came to invite him to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady at noon. He nodded in agreement

The sound of return suddenly rang out

Zhao Rong was not the least bit flustered, and even found it amusing, seeing how angry it made him, to the point of resorting to ancient sayings.

I am referring to that poem

It is evident that they have never truly engaged with the masses.

Alas, all of this is quite obvious, so why does the little girl not understand it?

Do not involve Miss and Qian'er any longer

Certainly, Confucianism is merely an excellent method for cultivating this realm, and one might even say it is the best method I have encountered. It is also the mainstream in the Xuanhuang realm, ha, at least it was so before I departed

Hmph. I disdain to answer this question

The Haoran Realm is the third realm for sword cultivators and Dao cultivators, named by the Sage of Confucianism. Strictly speaking, the Haoran Realm is the first step for cultivators to defy the heavens and change their fate. The first two realms, Ascending to Heaven and Soaring, are merely preparations for it

In short, Zhao Rong does not want to be a sycophant

... ...

Reading poetry can break boundaries! Is there such a good thing? Zhao Rong was very excited

Moreover, Zhao Rong recently discovered that although it is sharp-tongued and proud, the words of disdain directed at him are just a few repeated phrases: brat, good-for-nothing, and son-in-law. He has grown tired of hearing them.

He further added: "Then should not all practitioners study Confucianism and read books?"

Zhao Rong's head was filled with dark lines

Zhao Rong set down the brush and moved his wrist a bit

He tasted it and immediately reacted with great anger: "You dare! What abilities do you possess? A mere waste, a son-in-law, how dare you mock me... cough, this seat!"

As for why my former self wrote this letter, it was probably with the thought of marrying early, fulfilling the role of a tool, and then making an escape

It let out a light laugh and said, "The poem you just recited helped that little girl break through her limits. Moreover, she is very likely to have manifested her own life-bound flying sword."

Poetry and prose that can evoke emotional resonance can enable one to sense spiritual energy. Moreover, poetry and prose that are grand in style and exceptionally well-written can even gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, providing nourishment for one's cultivation. By the way, Confucianism generally refers to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as "Haoran Qi"

After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked up and stared at Zhao Rong
