The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1512: Conquer Lianshan Pass!

Views:

The ancient demon mountains, the top of the stars.

Fu Yue is shaped like a turtle, a thousand miles long, with mountains on his back. He tilts his head and looks sideways at the Wenquxing star deep in the starry sky.

Above the top of the stars, holy power was surging, divine thoughts were colliding, and the ancient demons and saints were discussing Wenquxing.

Fu Yue was thinking while listening to the conversation of those ancient demon saints.

In the ancient monster heritage, Wenquxing is a very special star. No matter whether it is the dragon clan, ancient monsters or barbarians, they cannot gain real power from it. At most, it is like humans gaining insignificant power when exposed to the sun.

A long time ago, the ancient demon knew that Wenquxing had great power, but he could not use it because he did not know how to use it. There are countless stars in the world, but only a few can be compared with Wenquxing.

Wenquxing has only started to exert its strength since the birth of the human race, so the ancient demon has been paying attention to the human race.

Fu Yue thought for a long time, sighed softly, and muttered quietly.

"Hmph, I won't listen to those old guys' nagging. After several years of training, this saint's saintly power has stabilized. I can now find a world to carry, and then connect myself to that world, gain power, and become a great saint! There is no rush, I will search slowly. However, the most urgent task is to find that guy Fang Yun! This saint is really in trouble. He actually stole the complete ancient demon inheritance. I must find a way to find him and get it back to make up for my own missing inheritance. Shengyuan Continent is far away, I don't know how long it will take to get there, well, then I will just crawl slowly..."

Fu Yue gently moved his huge body and left the top of the stars.

In the world of Confucius and Saint Literature, the Lumen Army and the Pearl River Army were heading towards Lianshan Pass under the shining stars.

There were more than 400,000 people when they came, but now only 270,000 can continue on the journey. The rest were either killed in the battle or were too seriously injured to fight and were sent to Zhucheng.

Near dawn, the army arrived at the place where they had retreated before, where there were still a large number of tents and military supplies.

Fang Yun ordered the army to take as much supplies as possible, and then continue on their way to Lianshan Pass, continuing to advance at a quick pace.

With the power of the battle poems, many soldiers felt only a little tired and were able to continue on their journey.

After a long journey, the army finally arrived at Lianshan Pass.

The gates of Lianshan Pass were tightly shut, the barbarians on the city wall were in a panic, and the army could hear various trumpet sounds coming from inside Lianshan Pass from afar.

At Fang Yun's command, the baggage train remained unchanged, while the rest of the troops accelerated their charge.

“Kill!”

More than 200,000 soldiers shouted and killed in unison, and the sound was deafening.

As the human race charged forward, the number of barbarians on the city walls became fewer and fewer.

When more than 200,000 soldiers arrived at the city, there was not a single barbarian figure on the top of the city.

More than 200,000 soldiers stood at the foot of the city, looking at each other, not knowing what was happening.

"Is it an empty city plan?"

"Could it be that Hu Mu left a backup plan before he died?"

Only Fang Yun and Xun Tianling had smiles on their faces.

Xun Tianling asked: "Brother Long Xiang, what do you think?"

"You and I are both great scholars at the level of Gewu, so there's no need to keep us in suspense. The barbarians inside have already fled." Fang Yun said as he stepped on Pingbu Qingyun and flew straight to the top of Lianshan Pass.

"My lord, be careful!" Many generals advised.

Fang Yun quickly flew over the city wall, landed inside the fortress, and disappeared.

The generals waited anxiously. After a while, there was a sudden sound from inside the gate, followed by a clicking sound, and the gate was opened by a mechanism.

There was nothing inside the city gate.

After a few breaths, Fang Yun appeared behind the city gate with a slight smile.

"Enter the city!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before realizing that the barbarians had really all escaped, which meant that Lianshan Pass had been successfully captured!

"Victory! Victory!"

When the army entered the city, the first thing they did was to clean up Lianshan Pass inside and out.

Lianshan Pass had been in the hands of the barbarians for nearly ten years and had been turned into a pigsty.

The original Lianshan Pass General’s Mansion was better, and Fang Yun was temporarily working there.

The army had just arrived and military affairs were extremely heavy. After Fang Yun sat down on the chair, he began to issue military orders continuously, such as changing positions, military defense zones, supply and weapons, duty hours, hunting down barbarians, sweeping the surrounding areas, etc. All aspects had to be taken into consideration, so Fang Yun simply called all the Hanlin and Jinshi generals together, and discussed for two hours before making a basic decision.

The vanguard of the Pearl River Army and all the main forces of the Lumen Army stayed in Lianshan Pass. Wang Li, general of the vanguard of the Pearl River Army, served as the commander of Lianshan Pass, responsible for the daily affairs of Lianshan Pass and foreign military affairs.

Tomorrow, Fang Yun will lead the rest of the Pearl River Army back to Zhucheng.

After dealing with the military affairs, it was already late at night. Fang Yun did not fall asleep. Instead, he took out paper and pen and began to write "History of Ancient Demons".

After being promoted to Grand Secretary, Fang Yun gained more talent and strength, and his speed in writing "History of Ancient Demons" increased. Although it was difficult to reach the speed of writing at a furious pace, it was still several times faster than that of an ordinary person.

As he wrote more and more of "History of Ancient Demons", Fang Yun felt that he had a deeper understanding of the power of history, and that this power was not forced to grow, but rather strengthened itself imperceptibly.

There are many historians and scholars, and everyone can compile history books, but not many have made great achievements. So far, only eighty-four sets of history have been designated as "official history" by the Holy Academy, which is far less than the number of historians and university scholars who have appeared in human history.

Before writing "History of Ancient Demons", Fang Yun made a summary. There are several important factors that influence whether it can become an official history and whether it can form a powerful holy force.

The first is authenticity, which accounts for 50% of the weight of history books. Every historian and scholar must verify the information of their predecessors before writing their own history books. The closer the content left in the history books is to history, the higher the status and power of the history books.

The second is the understanding of history by historians, accounting for 30%. Some historians can become semi-saints because they are perfect in this aspect. They will not be affected by superficial historical events and can always look at history from an objective and higher perspective.

They are neither foolish enough to believe that history is written by the victors, nor are they fooled by unofficial histories.

Because the phrase "history is written by the victors" is too superficial if understood literally. To put it another way, the correct understanding is that the strong have the ability to change history.

It is foolish to mock the victors and ignore their powerful ability to change history. The most foolish thing to do is not only to mock and deny the victors, but to believe that the losers are the stronger and more perfect party.

The strong change history, and history chooses the right strongest ones, so history is written by the strongest who win.

Ranked third is the expressive ability of historians and scholars, which may be innate or acquired, and can present a better historical picture, accounting for about 10%.

There are many other factors, which together account for about 10%.

Fang Yun believed that his "History of Ancient Monsters" would definitely be listed as one of the official histories, because the memories passed down by the ancient monsters were all real events, and the authenticity of this book was even better than the history books written by semi-saint historians.

Fang Yun was more confident in his understanding of history. The five histories of the dragon race, ancient monsters, barbarians, humans, and the ancient Chinese nation were presented to him, which had already educated him into a qualified historian and scholar.
