Chapter 2238 Tremendous Change
Hun Tiangang and Lu Chengwen sat at the stone table.
Hun Tiangang gazed at the distant scenery:
"There is never just one path to becoming a strong person. Long Aotian has his path, Zhao Ritian has his path, and you... have your own path too."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Please teach me, Master."
“I will give each of you three words. You can learn the first one first.”
Hun Tiangang's sleeves swept lightly across the stone table, as if he were sweeping away dust with his sleeves.
As the sleeves of his robes swept across the ground, a single word was revealed—wisdom.
"wisdom?"
“That’s right,” Hun Tiangang said. “It does not rely on force, but on cleverness and wisdom. It does not contend with heaven and earth, but benefits heaven and earth.”
Lu Chengwen nodded thoughtfully: "Master, we have seen... the future."
Hun Tiangang said, "So what?"
Lu Chengwen lowered his head: "Perhaps... the senior brother and the junior brother..."
"Heh, why worry about things that haven't happened yet?"
Lu Chengwen raised his head: "Master, lately I've often felt that life is difficult. I almost lost my child. The people in the Elder Council are all very powerful, and I can't afford to offend them at all; the four major families all have their own agendas, with many powerful figures emerging, and their stances are uncertain; I'm very worried about my family, but there's very little I can do for them. Even now, I'm not sure what will happen to my senior brother and junior brother in the end..."
"Cheng Wen, don't believe what you see."
Hun Tiangang said, "You consider yourself a mortal with a pure and kind nature, and you do not want to contend with heaven and earth. But heaven and earth insist on tempering you, beating you, tormenting you, and forcing you."
"Sometimes, you feel like you have nowhere to go. Even if you rack your brains and compromise, you have nowhere to settle down and no way to save yourself."
"Actually, these are all great opportunities and immense blessings for you."
Lu Chengwen looked at Hun Tiangang, his eyes welling up with tears: "Blessings?"
"of course."
Hun Tiangang smiled warmly and lovingly: "You are destined to be extraordinary, so the Heavenly Dao has given you trials and tribulations, testing your limits each time. Every time you overcome one, you are reborn; every time you survive one tribulation, you are transformed."
"Mortals consider ordinariness and simplicity to be blessings. But you are destined to be extraordinary, and therefore destined not to have a smooth journey."
"There will be many more hardships in the future, and you can't avoid them. You can only move forward bravely."
"Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian may be born heroes, but you... are people forced by the will of Heaven to reach the peak."
Lu Chengwen smiled wryly: "I would rather live a peaceful and stable life."
"Yes, how could I not long to travel the world, traverse famous mountains and rivers, visit extraordinary people and befriend heroes of our time? To drink fine wine, admire beautiful scenery, embrace beauties, and indulge in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, content with the simple pleasures of life?"
"But……"
Lu Chengwen said, "Sometimes I have no idea whether what I'm doing is right or wrong."
Hun Tiangang said, "Haven't I made enough mistakes in my calculations?"
Lu Chengwen was taken aback.
Hun Tiangang laughed heartily, and with a wave of his sleeve, the world changed color: "Stop worrying about others, worry more about yourself. The ways of heaven are ever-changing, and destiny is hard to find. No one's fate is predetermined and unchangeable. Are you afraid? If you are, then fight against it, struggle against it."
“As your teacher, I know that many young people today are discouraged, listless, and self-deprecating, using this as an excuse for their souls.”
"In any era, there are people who are pessimistic and give up on themselves, and in any era, there are also people who forge ahead bravely and strive with high spirits."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Master, I have figured it out."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Lu Chengwen said with a smile: "Many of my employees call themselves cattle and horses, longing to lie down and say that going to work is not their dream, but that they don't have to go to work; or that hard work does not guarantee success, but not working is definitely comfortable; wherever they fall, they will lie down for a while."
"Hahahaha!"
Hun Tiangang smiled and said, "It's good to occasionally laugh at yourself and be easygoing. But being too stubborn can easily damage your spirit and wear down your vigor. If you do this for a long time, it's tantamount to self-harm."
"Yes, Master's teachings are correct, I have remembered them."
Lu Chengwen was also curious: "Master, can you know my other two characters now?"
"of course."
Hun Tiangang gently touched the stone table again, and two words came into Lu Chengwen's view.
仁。
Fairy.
……
Long Aotian is: Overlord, War God.
Lu Chengwen's name is composed of the characters: Wisdom, Benevolence, and Immortality.
Zhao Ritian is: brave, upright, and holy.
The three brothers each devoted themselves to arduous cultivation, which will not be elaborated upon further.
……
at the same time.
White House.
In the small conference room, a group of important figures sat upright.
An elder said, "Patriarch, the news brought back by Bai Men Keke is too shocking. If it is true that the Heavenly Dao is on Yanzhao Sect, we need to make plans."
White Tooth calmly said, "The concept of the Way of Heaven is too vague and ethereal. We only need to do our duty."
"But... what if a calamity truly descends upon the world..."
Another person said, "Back then, wasn't Hun Tiangang more powerful than those few brats?! Has the Heavenly Tribulation arrived yet? Hun Tiangang and the Five Old Men were decisive; they saw this and foresaw that. What a joke!"
Someone countered: "This time it wasn't the Yanzhao Sect that said it themselves, it was Miss Coco who saw it with her own eyes. You all saw it too, the Five Elders have returned to the martial world, the Yanzhao Sect has already grown strong, the Dragon Elephant Secret Realm has opened, the ancient war god's prophecy... Miss Coco and Piaopiao saw all of this with their own eyes!"
"According to this logic, should we listen to that girl from the Xia family and send Piaopiao and Keke to Lu Chengwen to be abused? That's utter nonsense! Even the ancient war god might not know what the world is like now, right?"
"I wonder what the other three families think. Does the patriarch have any opinions or inclinations regarding the other three families' participation in this meeting?"
White front teeth looked at everyone:
"Jiang Jiaxin, Xia Jiayi, and Mo Jia have not expressed their opinions."
"What does the patriarch mean..."
White Tooth calmly said, "Even if a heavenly tribulation descends, we cannot completely trust others to shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting it. If a heavenly tribulation truly descends... we must all fight to the death."
"Whether the heavenly tribulation comes or not, we will still do our work; whether the heavenly tribulation comes or not, we will still do our work. For the Bai family, there is no difference."
An elder said, “The patriarch is farsighted and has extraordinary composure. But even so, we need the patriarch to provide a plan on what to do and how to do it, especially how to deal with the Yanzhao Sect. This will allow us to make arrangements and convey the message, and to act with due measure.”
White Tooth said, "The Five Elders are unconventional and operate outside the rules. Now that they are challenging the Elder Council, the Yanzhao Sect will inevitably face suppression and exclusion."
"Uh...shouldn't the Elder Council be the most concerned about this?"
White Tooth snorted: "They think too highly of themselves, even more arrogant than me. Don't even mention a heavenly tribulation descending upon the world, even if the world is destroyed, they think they will be the ones who survive in the end. A bunch of corrupt and closed-minded guys, thinking that they can control the world by cultivating a council of elders. They don't even realize that this world has already changed color."
"That voluptuous vulva..."
His white front teeth were furrowed.
Bai Men Keke also stared at her brother.
White Tooth paused for a long time: "It's time... to have an attitude."
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Upon entering, he knelt on one knee and said, "Patriarch, the Elder Council has issued a top-level document, effective immediately, elevating the Tang family to one of the five great families! Almost half of the Jiang family's real power has been taken away."
Everyone was stunned.
