Chapter 816: Chapter 33: Zhao Xing’s Great Circulation Theory, Year 34 of Jingxin Calendar, Death of Yang An! (Da Zhang)
Heng Yuan is not here, Sima Yunhai is from the Yun Sect, and Geng Shouchang is from the Thunder Sect, so it is most appropriate for Lu Chunhua from the Hou Sect to review this theory.
When a new theory emerges, it will inevitably face a wave of skepticism. To avoid unnecessary disputes, it is best to directly hand it over to a bigwig for review.
A theory, when validated by authority, is far better than engaging in verbal battles oneself.
Upon receiving this treatise, Lu Chunhua glanced at it and was a bit surprised.
After carefully savoring it, he immediately said, "I will arrange for someone to enter the Blessed Land and practice your Transformation Theory right away."
"Please provide guidance, Dean," Zhao Xing bowed and said.
Lu Chunhua shook his head and said, "I currently see no flaws in it."
"However, I can be your sponsor and send it to the General Academy, if you are willing?"
"It would be my honor," Zhao Xing said.
Li Boqian is the Grand Minister of Agriculture; it is not suitable for him to be the sponsor.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture, who holds great power, should not be biased towards any sect, and besides, it is not suitable for him to show up now.
But Lu Chunhua, the Dean, is weighty enough. He was mentored by Li Boqian and is also an important figure in the Hou Sect.
Having him push forward Zhao Xing is most appropriate.
Yet the manuscript still ended up in Li Boqian’s hands.
"Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory?"
"This kid truly is surprising..."
Li Boqian asked him to lecture with the intention of calming his restless spirit through the classics of many sages.
Reviewing theories is also greatly beneficial for cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing came up with a remarkably significant Transformation Theory and redefined the Grand Heavenly Time.
"Such ambition, starting right off with the Transformation Theory! He wants to redefine the Grand Heavenly Time."
Li Boqian’s sharp eyes saw at once that Zhao Xing’s treatise was merely a prelude.
His real goal, perhaps, is to redefine the Grand Heavenly Time of the Xuanhuang Realm!
"He wants all the Heavenly Time Sect ministers to use his theory to cast spells and govern the heavenly times."
"If this can truly be achieved, my Heavenly Time Sect will produce another sage." Li Boqian muttered to himself. "Junior brother, you are indeed in a tough spot now."
Wang Tianzhi and Liu Tianning have already formed a competitive landscape.
The future position of Grand Minister of Agriculture will most likely be contested between him and Liu Tianning.
But first, Wang Tianzhi must become the Heavenly Time Sect leader, he must ascend to the position of Dean of the Xuantian Academy before he can talk about the Grand Minister of Agriculture position.
"If I die a bit later, junior brother may not only not be able to compete against Liu Tianning, but may even fail to compete against him, this disciple."
"Junior brother, you are truly unfortunate to live in this era, unlike me, where I was the only formidable one in my time."
Li Boqian cheerfully put away the manuscript and headed to the Qianqing Palace to play chess with Emperor Jing.
...
On April 25th, Zhao Xing held his lecture for the second time.
But during the second lecture, he found that more people began to attend.
The number increased to more than fifty.
These people were all brought over by Liu Hui and Lin Yuejia.
Regarding the "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory," the higher-ups had not yet reached a consensus, but among the students, it was already starting to spread.
Among them, Liu Hui and Lin Yuejia actively praised Zhao Xing.
By May, the number of students attending the lectures reached five hundred.
Everyone who came to hear Zhao Xing’s lectures was basically retained by Zhao Xing.
Even if mentors reprimanded them in secret, there was no stopping them.
The reason was simple: Zhao Xing’s theory was suitable for officials.
As time passed, Zhao Xing began discussing the problems encountered in practice.
These problems were thorny ones that crop up when serving as a Minister of Agriculture official.
He fused the experiences of previous players and classic theories from the past.
Added to Zhao Xing’s current life’s cultivation and understanding, it was deeply impactful for the students.
Had it been merely a lofty theory, it might have ended there, but it was actually suitable for officialdom!
It completely exploded among the student body!
By June, the number of attendees surged to over five thousand!
Since the office allocated to Zhao Xing was utterly insufficient, many students even approached Lu Chunhua, fervently demanding a larger venue for Zhao Xing’s lectures.
Otherwise, there simply wasn’t enough room!
Lu Chunhua, having no other option, assigned Zhao Xing’s lecture location to the forty-fifth floor of the Secret Technique Tower.
This space was large enough to accommodate a hundred thousand people.
From this day on, Zhao Xing’s lectures became widely acclaimed.
Quickly, attendance grew to ten thousand students.
Whenever he held his lectures, the attendance at other Doctors of Governance would inevitably dwindle.
"What’s going on, why are so many people attending Zhao Xing’s lecture?" Sima Yunhai, at the forty-fifth floor of the Secret Technique Tower, looked at the dense crowd and couldn’t help but be amazed.
"Even if an old man like me were to give a lecture, I couldn’t attract over ten thousand people."
"His true form has arrived," Geng Shouchang said, "You still don’t know?"
"What?" Sima Yunhai’s spirits lifted, "Could it be that he’s had a change of heart?"
Geng Shouchang smiled wryly and shook his head.
"What does your headshake mean," Sima Yunhai frowned, "Does it mean my plan didn’t succeed?"
Geng Shouchang said, "Brother Yunhai, haven’t you realized Zhao Xing’s intention?"
"This kid plans to simultaneously cultivate all three sects."
"Do you think he would abandon the cultivation of the other two sects?"
"He’s already mastered the Cloud Gate Skill!"
"What?" Sima Yunhai was taken aback, then furiously said, "Are you saying, he never intended to become my apprentice?"
The old fellow seemed obsessed with revenge, still muttering, while Geng Shouchang shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.
