"So, will the battle to seize the state continue?"
No one can answer.
Cao De'an shook his head and said, "This battle has nothing to do with us. What we have to do is to quietly wait for the final result. Since the Zongsheng has demonstrated the merits of a sub-sage, the saints will definitely hold a meeting. After the two saints are resolved, we will proceed to the next step. I believe that the Qing Kingdom also thinks so."
"The question now is, can Fang Sheng win?"
"Fang Sheng's fighting power is unparalleled. He will never be defeated."
"What about the Holy Way?"
All the ministers were horrified.
The political doctrine has not yet gained a firm foothold. It is dominant only in Jing State and has a small influence in Wu State. It has not grown strong in other countries. One reason is that it is suppressed by various schools of thought. The other is that most of the people who focus on the political doctrine are young scholars from various countries and they are unable to form a strong force.
Before, the political way was indeed stronger than the miscellaneous school, but now with the incident of one ape and three barbarians, the holy way of the miscellaneous school has surpassed the political way!
Not only that, the Confucian sacred doctrine that was swallowed up by the political doctrine was also taken away by the eclectic school of thought.
Especially when it comes to the holy path of the diplomats, ninety percent of it was taken away by the miscellaneous schools.
Making one ape and three barbarians become vassals of the human race is the greatest victory in the history of human diplomacy, accomplishing what all the scholars of the strategists throughout the ages could not do.
"Alas, I hope Fang Sheng can hold on. Maybe in a few years, he can make a comeback." Cao Dean suddenly sighed, and then his expression changed slightly.
The officials were shocked.
Although Cao De'an was worried and confused, he did express the thoughts of everyone.
The Sage had been planning for so long, and his first move was earth-shattering. It was very likely that he had an absolute chance of winning. Otherwise, he could have continued to endure!
Fang Sheng is good in every aspect and will never be defeated by Zong Sheng in the future, but he is too young after all.
"How do you two think you'll decide the winner?"
"There are basically only a few types of fights among semi-saints, and we can count them slowly. The first type is the evolution of the holy way!" said Cao De'an.
The faces of the ministers changed drastically.
The evolution of the Holy Path does not sound particularly intense, but it is a battle of the Holy Path with a greater impact than a fight between two semi-saints personally. It is also the most intense battle of the Holy Path and has never happened in history because it has such a huge impact on the human race.
The so-called evolution of the holy way means that the Zongsheng holds the power of the holy way of the various schools, and Fangyun holds the power of the political way, and then the two holy ways are integrated into one. Each side displays its magical powers, collides with each other, consumes each other, merges with each other, and devours each other, and finally only one holy way is left!
Or, one party surrenders before being devoured.
Fang Yun suffered the disadvantage that he could only use the political way, because after all, he was not the master of the Confucian holy way. It was impossible for the various Confucian schools to allow him to fully invoke the Confucian holy way. If Fang Yun used other holy ways, their power would not be as strong as the political way he had developed himself.
Unless Fang Yun opens up other innovative holy paths before the holy paths collide.
On the contrary, Zongsheng is now the leader of the holy way of the Miscellaneous School, and all the miscellaneous schools will certainly support him.
From the current perspective, once the Holy Path Evolution is carried out, Fang Yun will lose.
Cao Dean continued, "Everyone knows that the evolution of the Saint Way is too drastic. Even if the two Saints agree, the other Semi-Saints will firmly oppose it, so the possibility of it happening is extremely small. The second option is to hold a Semi-Saint Literary Conference, where the two Saints will discuss the Saint Way with their Saint Minds. Of course, the Saint Way discussion is different from the Saint Way discussion at an ordinary literary conference."
"May I ask Prime Minister Cao, what is the difference?"
Most of the officials looked at Cao De'an curiously, their eyes full of anticipation.
Most people were hearing about the Holy Thoughts for the first time. Things of this level were not something you could hear just because you wanted to. Even if you begged for help, you would not be able to get even a glimpse of it.
Cao De'an hesitated for a few breaths and said, "In fact, even though I am a great scholar, I don't know much. I only know that the discussion of the Holy Mind is based on the Holy Mind and the Holy Way, and constructs the Holy Way Kingdom. The other party enters it with the Holy Mind. As for what they do in it and how to determine the winner, I don't know. I only know that the discussion of the Holy Mind is actually a form of communication and a means of mutual promotion. Good semi-saints will discuss the Holy Mind to learn from each other. Because the discussion of the Holy Mind can also determine the winner, it can be used in the battle of the Holy Way."
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy. Although they might never be able to see the Holy Mind Discussing the Dao in their lifetime, they could fully imagine what a strange power that was.
"As for the third type, it is a Saintly War. This war is the same as ours, where two semi-saints go deep into the starry sky and fight a life-and-death battle or fight within a limited time. In short, they try to find a way to determine the winner. However, at present, the human race is not suitable for a life-and-death battle. Even if the two saints start a war, they will know their limits."
"Prime Minister Cao, do you think Sheng Daowen has a chance of winning against Fang Sheng?"
Cao Dean smiled bitterly and said, "If Fang Sheng can mobilize foreign treasures, he will win. Think about it, Fang Sheng can use the Sky Mirror, how can Zong Sheng be his opponent. However, if he does not use foreign treasures, and is only allowed to use human treasures or his own strength, or even does not use treasures at all, then it is hard to say whether Fang Sheng can win."
"Isn't Fang Sheng's Kunlun Sword Formation invincible in the world?"
Cao Dean said helplessly: "The Kunlun Sword Formation must first trap the enemy. With Zongsheng's means, he can definitely avoid the Kunlun Sword Formation in advance. Besides, Zongsheng is a generalist, and generalists are ever-changing. I estimate that the two of them should be tied in the battle of holy ways and neither can win. After all, Zongsheng's talent has surpassed Lu Sheng's, and he has been in seclusion for many years. No one knows what kind of power he has created."
Everyone nodded slightly. It was true that the miscellaneous family was not good at frontal combat, but their various methods were very strange and hard to defend against.
After all, the eclectic school draws on the strengths of many schools. Its depth may not be enough, but its breadth is always the best among all schools.
Cao Dean continued, "In addition to the evolution of the Holy Dao, the discussion of the Holy Dao, and the battle of Holy Dao literature, there is the battle merit competition. This should be the competition method with the least impact. Both sides show their battle merits, and the winner is decided immediately. Everyone knows this, and it should be the competition method that everyone is willing to see."
Zhou Junhu said helplessly: "Before the surrender of the ape and the three barbarians, I supported the battle merit competition. But now, I don't want to see it. I would rather Fang Shengwen fight."
All the officials in the court nodded.
The contribution of taming the three barbarians and the demon world is so great that it is unimaginable.
Even Confucius didn’t do it!
Even Fang Yun can't do this without bloodshed!
Therefore, no one can be sure of the final specific military achievements.
"Who told the Holy Academy to set the merit of expanding territory too high in order to stimulate the human race? If nothing unexpected happens, the merit of occupying the Ape Territory is twice that of Fang Sheng in Liangjie Mountain."
"No, it's at least three times as much, because there are also tens of billions of demon barbarians from the Ape Territory and the Three Barbarians!"
Everyone suddenly felt a headache.
"What about the demon barbarian half-saint that Fang Sheng subdued in Liangjie Mountain?"
"They haven't completely surrendered yet. At most, they are being tamed. Maybe in a few years, they will become a military achievement for Fang Sheng, but not now."
"Who among you knows the current situation in the Ape Territory? If the apes betray, the demon world will probably come out in full force to retaliate, right?"
"The weird thing is, the roars of the demons and semi-saints were indeed heard from the Holy Trees, but no demons and barbarians went to attack the Ape Territory. I don't know if they were afraid of something or if they just couldn't spare the time to take action."
"How strange!"
Everyone was confused and puzzled.
