Chapter 4073: Painting the Traces
nlun Realm, cultivators who specialize in painting and spiritual energy, those who can reach the Saint King realm, are no more than three. Therefore, in Chu Siyuan's view, claiming to be the "Master o...Upon arriving at Zijun Star, Zhang Ruochin activated the Wuji Lamp, enveloping the entire planet with its light.
Then, he dared to release his perception.
If there were no lights to illuminate, and every sense were used to perceive the surroundings, one would surely be noticed by truly terrifying entities within the cosmos, leaving a trace like a goose flying overhead.
He's not on this planet!
The lights quickly contracted.
Zhang Ruochin lifted his lantern, turned around, and got back on the deer cart.
Qingxiu's face paled abruptly, and she chased after him, saying, "Sir, Qingxiu has never deceived you! When Mingjing left Zijing Star, I had him take refuge on this planet. Something must have happened to him on his way here."
Wen Qingxiu and Liao Ku looked at each other, then got into the carriage one after another.
A phantom chariot, leaving a trail of light, burst through the violet atmosphere of the dim purple planet Zi Junxing and plunged into the boundless black void of space.
Wen Qingxiu sat opposite Zhang Ruochin, her fair and delicate face etched with worry. She said, "Emperor Chen, do you think he went to the Confucian World"
Zhang Ruchen said, "Besides the Confucian world, does he have other places to go"
>
The Book Realm, for many years, has always been a branch of the Kunlun world's Confucian Dao. To cultivators in the Book Realm, the Sage (Confucius) is akin to faith, a powerful being worthy of respect and trust. Since he chose not to hide, the only path left for him is this one!
When Wen Qingxiu saw Zhang Ruochin's furrowed brows, she tentatively asked, "Shouldn't we be able to trust the Sage"
"Indeed, that's what everyone thinks," Zhang Ruochin chuckled lightly.
Wen Qingxiu saw the flash of sharpness in Zhang Ruochin's eyes and knew that the situation might be developing in the worst possible direction.
If the Grand Master truly deserves trust, why would Emperor Chen take such a risk and personally lead the charge
Wen Qingxiu, after all, was calm and intelligent. She said, "The fame of the Sage Confucius has spread throughout the world, and countless spirits have gone to see him. Every day, thousands upon thousands of messages about that painting are sent. It is difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. Even a great saint like Mingjing would find it extremely difficult to see Confucius. Perhaps there is still time."
What's up, guys ...
Li Kuai, with the divine power of a spirit, drove his deer chariot at full speed.
Upon arriving at the border of the Confucian realm, they split into two groups. Zhang Ruochin and Liao Kuo went to the Zhongyong Pavilion.
Wen Qingxiu was the one who entered the Confucian world later, seeking Xu Mingjing.
The Zhongyong Pavilion, the foremost hall in the Confucian world, is also where the fourth Confucian ancestor preached. While the outside of the pavilion was bustling with noise and cultivators from all realms gathered, inside it remained serene and peaceful.
Zhang Ruochin is hiding in Liao Ku's God Realm, arriving outside the Chung-Yung Pavilion.

The Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism, with a kind smile and benevolent eyes, said: "Are you here to see an old man like me"
Asked from the soul, Liao Kuo couldn't stop himself and blurted out: "Yes…"
Oh!
Zhang Ruochin walked out of Liao Kuo's divine realm and waved his hand, saying, "You wait outside."
Liao Kuo was overjoyed, as if pardoned. He hurriedly backed out.
As the heavy gate of Dazhong Temple slammed shut, the interior plunged into darkness. Only the faintly glowing bronze bells continued to emit their soft light.
"The Fourth Confucian Ancestor was clearly surprised, saying: "How come I didn't think of this We would meet again in such a way. If Ruoxin came to visit so carefully and secretly, what could he possibly want"
Zhang Ruochin, of course, was trying to distract the Fourth Confucian Ancestor so he wouldn't notice Wen Qingxiu. He said, "The one just now, is that Ke Luo from the Temple of Light"
The Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism nodded and said, "He was very frightened and came here to apologize, hoping to gain forgiveness from me and the gods of Kunlun."
Zhang Ruochin said: "Master Kong, forgive me"
The Fourth Sage continued, "In today's universe, we face numerous dangers and challenges. We must unite all forces that can be united to meet them. Just like when the Hellish Realms attacked Kunlun Realm, you always held a tolerant attitude towards them, didn't you"
Zhang Ruchen stared at the Fourth Confucian Ancestor with disbelief and said, "This is different, isn't it"
What's different
"Master, it's said that each generation has its own grievances. They will settle their own scores. The tribulation in the Kunlun Realm happened a long time ago. We weren't there, but you were! The betrayal and schemes of allies are more hateful than those of enemies." Zhang Ruochen said.
"In your opinion, what should be done Destroy the Celestial Realm to quell the anger in your heart Doing so would mean making enemies of the entire heavenly court. The participants from Hell's Realm back then would also be shaken. The universe would fracture, and another great war would erupt. Wouldn't that be exactly what Corpse Nightmare and the Chaos Dragon want to see"

"I have never said that I wanted to destroy the Heavenly Realm."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Seeing the Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism remain silent, Zhang Ruochin continued, "Is it really just that simple, that Ko Luo was only being used by the Quantified Organization To achieve dominance over the Western Universe, would they not take the initiative to strike from the shadows I don't believe it."
The Fourth Sage sighed, "Perhaps what you say makes sense. This old man will just leave it be. I believe that asking the Heavenly Sovereign, the Island Master, and Jiwang will give those who have passed away in Kunlun Realm an explanation."
Zhang Ruochin felt even more disappointed looking at the fourth Confucian ancestor before him.
He might truly be thinking of the greater good, or perhaps he has a magnanimous heart. But his feelings for the Kunlun Realm, and for the countless souls who perished there, are undoubtedly not as profound as those of Taishang.
If a person only focuses on the most lofty things and ignores basic human emotions, they are certainly not someone to admire.
Zhang Ruochin said: “I came to the Confucian world secretly because there are several questions that have been troubling me, and I hope Confucius can enlighten me.”
"If you speak lightly of the dust, it is permissible." The Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism said.
Zhang Ruochin said, "I heard that the Eternal True Sovereign is the second Confucian ancestor. I hope to get a definite answer."
< xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"> The Fourth Sage asked, "Is this answer important to you"
Zhang Ruochen said: "This is very important! Because, Qingcang once told me that after the Holy Monk's fall, it was the God Realm who took away the Sundial and also damaged the Sundial. If the Second Sage Ancestor is the Eternal Sovereign, why didn't he save him when he saw death, and why did he damage the Sundial"
The precise message, of course, wasn't something Qingcang told Zhang Ruochin, but rather something Wuyin uttered.
The Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism wore a sorrowful expression and said, "If you can still remember the Burning Blood Curse Can you still remember the extinction of the Sacred Clan At that time, the True Sovereign was outside the void, battling with the members of the Hades Sect. When he finished defeating them and rushed over, everything was too late! Taking away the sundial was to prevent it from falling into the hands of evil."
As for why I separated the sundial's spirit and suppressed its power, it was all for you, for the Kunlun Realm. A complete sundial is a disaster, but the remaining fragments can be of great use.
Our expectations for you go far beyond this. The Ancestor of the Underworld and the Great Tribulation are the two greatest hurdles. If you overcome them, there will be a way for all living beings in the world to survive.
"Though the world calls me ancestor, I have never had a chance to challenge the true ancestor. I will eventually become dust. You are the future!"
Zhang Ruochin wouldn't believe his words and said, "The Eternal True Sovereign has lived for countless years and is still alive. This shows that the Divine Realm has a way to achieve immortality. Even if the Sage of Confucianism lives for another ten epochs, it shouldn't be a problem."
The Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism heard the sarcasm in Chang Ruochin's tone and smiled wryly: “Ruochin has misunderstood! The Eternal True Sovereign can live for millions of years without perishing because the time flow in the Divine Realm is completely different from that of this universe. Even so, the Eternal True Sovereign's deadline is approaching.”
"I believe that before his passing, he will definitely meet with you personally. The position of eternal kingdom ruler, throughout the universe, only you are qualified to take over."
Zhang Ruochin calmly said, “I am quite surprised! I already have the answer in my heart. Farewell.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Fourth Sage looked at Zhang Ruochin's departing figure, shaking his head and sighing.
Suddenly, he clutched his white beard, realizing something. He immediately released his spiritual energy to probe the entire Confucian realm, unraveling cause and effect, and deciphering heavenly secrets.
He soon discovered the traces left by Wen Qingshu and Xu Mingjing.
But the two had already left the world of scholars.
The Fourth Patriarch extended his spiritual power beyond the Confucian realm, but he couldn't find any trace of Zhang Ruochin, Liao Kuo, Wen Qingshu, or Xu Mingjing. He was greatly surprised.
"Completely vanished into thin air! Just a clone, how did he manage to deceive my spiritual energy perception"
Although the Fourth Confucian Patriarch was shocked, he did not take any further action.
Even if Zhang Ruochin found the painting first and deciphered its secrets, he would only be acting against the Mingzu. Isn't this exactly what he wants
The
What is it
The carriage is inside.
Wen Qingshu said, "With Confucian Ancestor's spiritual power, it's impossible to keep it hidden for long. He will definitely realize something is wrong. Lord Di Chen, will the world of books become a sacrifice"
"No!"
Zhang Ruochin shook his head gently and said, "Firstly, the literary world is in the Unbound God Sea, protected by the Sword World. Secondly, the Fourth Confucian Ancestor actually has a fatal weakness."
"What weakness" Wen Qingxiu asked.
Zhang Ruchen said, “Morality! He acted on the basis of morality and will therefore be bound by it. Go, you and Xu Mingjing return to the Confucian world now, and publicly declare the secret of the painting. Become his disciples. Let all cultivators in the world know about this!”
Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing were both taken aback.
Zhang Ruochen's voice softened, and he said, "I really don't want to involve you all, but it's come to this. This is your greatest chance of survival. As long as you successfully become my disciples, the Fourth Confucian Ancestor will definitely give you the best protection."
Zhang Ruochin took out two prepared divine pills and talismans, respectively handing them to Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing. He said, "There are too many dangers around me. All I can give you is these."
"If the Fourth Patriarch of Confucianism were to ask about the secret behind the painting, how should we respond" Wen Qingxiu asked.
"Just as he said to me before, I will say it back to him."
Zhang Ruochin had never considered keeping this secret to himself. His strategy had always been to use the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom to counterbalance the power of the Mingzu Sect.
The reason why I had to find that painting before the fourth ancestor of Confucianism is because I don't want to be led by the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom, nor do I want to become a tool used by them.
He's got to take control!
After seeing off Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing, Zhang Ruochin ordered Liao Kuo, "Go to the Heavenly Realm!"
From Xu Mingjing, I heard that the Xu family has been searching for that painting for generations. They have indeed made some progress and are almost about to get their hands on it.
But, it was robbed by the Temple of Light on the way.
To be precise, the Light Temple plundered the entire world of books at that time.
Therefore, Xu Mingjing believes that the painting is most likely in the Celestial Realm.

This is a genuine work by Su Zilin, and it's related to the Buddha Kasyapa. This painting will almost certainly be passed down layer by layer into Koro's hands.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If this was the only clue, Zhang Ruochin would inevitably feel disappointed.
But Korro actually appeared in the Confucian world, and at such a sensitive time he went to visit the fourth ancestor of Confucianism. Then the value of this clue would be at least ten times greater.
This forced Zhang Ruochin to personally go to the Heavenly Realm.
...one them, even the Divine Sovereigns would have to be careful when they came.Now, we can only bet that Zhang Ruochin truly saw the immobile Mingwang bodhisattva.Only if the Undying King Vajrapani had...
