I am a loser, but I defeated countless geniuses with the Soul-Calming Tower.

Chapter 2371

The demonic dragon chariot sped along the street at an incredible speed, causing the creatures walking around to give way and then cast envious glances at it.

In the capital, those who could travel by carriage were of high status, at the very least powerful and wealthy, or had special relationships with princes and nobles.

The Demon Dragon Chariot is the pinnacle of carriages, originating from the imperial family.

"I wonder where these prodigies have come from. I've seen so many demonic dragon carriages today. They must all be going to the Confucian Glory Banquet, right?"

"That's for sure. I heard that several prodigies from different states have come this time, probably because of the competition for the crown prince position."

"I really envy these people. We citizens of Wuzhou need to enroll in the Confucian Cloud Academy to be eligible for baptism, but they are treated with the highest honors right from the start."

"Who says it's not..."

There was much discussion on the streets of the capital.

A day has passed since Lin Xuan received the invitation from the Thirteenth Prince. Today is the day the Confucian Banquet begins, and tomorrow is the day Wuzhao Mountain opens.

The highly anticipated struggle for the throne in the Sun and Moon Divine Dynasty is about to begin.

Inside the dragon carriage, Lin Xuan and Xu Yan sat side by side, while Old Wang and the others were in the other carriages. The Nineteenth Princess had prepared several carriages, making quite a grand display.

The carriage quickly passed through dozens of streets before finally coming to a slow stop.

"arrive!"

"Let's go down!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he led Xu Yan down from the demon dragon carriage.

The first thing Lin Xuan saw when he got off the bus was the majestic gate of Ruyun Academy, which stood like a giant mountain on the earth.

Celestial light flowed continuously across the sky above the entire academy, and a vast aura was rising, occasionally manifesting as scenes of dragons and phoenixes dancing.

"It's so magnificent!"

Xu Yan's surprised voice rang out, her beautiful eyes fixed on the scene above Ruyun Academy.

"Our dynasty calls it the Confucian movement. Practicing Confucianism in places shrouded in the Confucian movement can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Our dynasty was founded on Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism is practiced in academies in various places. The lifelong dream of most people in the court is to enter the Confucian Cloud Academy, the highest institution of learning."

Princess Wu Mingyao, the nineteenth princess, had arrived beside Lin Xuan and Xu Yan. Wang Xuanfeng and the others also arrived shortly after, listening to Wu Mingyao's introduction without saying a word.

"Gentlemen, please follow me!"

As Wu Mingyao introduced the group, she extended an invitation, and the others quickly followed.

"The core cultivation technique of our dynasty, the Divine Scripture, is based on Confucianism and Taoism and was created by deeply comprehending the power of the sun and moon."

"Ruyun Academy has three courtyards: the front courtyard, the middle courtyard, and the back courtyard. The Ruguang Banquet is held in the Sage's Dojo in the middle courtyard."

As they spoke, the group had already entered the front yard.

Lin Xuan looked around and was surprised to find that most of the students of Ruyun Academy were holding jade books and studying them, whether walking, sitting or lying down.

Their auras fluctuated from time to time, and their facial expressions were quite interesting; some were frowning, while others suddenly seemed to realize something.

"Is this... spiritual practice?"

"A living being's cultivation level has suddenly increased? Is there really such a cultivation method?"

Lin Xuan looked at Wu Mingyao, a questioning look in his eyes.

"Yes, Sect Master, this is the cultivation method of Confucianism and Taoism in our dynasty, where enlightenment is more important than arduous practice."

Wu Mingyao responded quickly.

"The world is truly full of wonders."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Confucianism and Taoism are not weak; on the contrary, they are very strong and possess unpredictable power.

For example, right now, Lin Xuan sensed many different auras emanating from these students—fiery, sharp, and brimming with killing intent, among others…

Clearly, Confucianism and Taoism are not merely about recognizing and understanding characters, but about deriving various principles from them.

The group passed through the front yard and soon entered the middle yard.

Led by Wu Mingyao, they arrived at the Sage Temple, where thirteen statues of sages stood in a row at the very front.

Dense numbers of creatures have gathered here. Except for the open space where the sage's temple is located, the rest of the place is almost completely surrounded by humanoid creatures.
