Chapter 499 - 215: Plans for the Realm (Part 2)
Although over the years, he had developed his family and cultivated himself while continuously learning various kinds of knowledge, the creation of a Profound Realm was ultimately too vast and complex, requiring a professional strategic vision. He sat quietly and pondered, and gradually entered a state of selflessness. He felt as if he had become Little South Continent itself, with an extraordinary familiarity with every inch of land here.
Moreover, his thoughts became exceptionally clear, and those professional problems that were previously incomprehensible were solved effortlessly.
He seemed to have become omniscient and omnipotent, as if he had personally overseen the construction of the Profound Realm, with every process and detail deeply imprinted in his mind.
Thus, his creative ideas surged, and inspiration flowed abundantly. He wrote furiously and, in less than a day, outlined a plan to form five Small Profound Realms into one Great Profound Realm.
Viewing this plan from a reader’s perspective, he was utterly shocked, unable to believe he could have written it.
He was sure he did not possess such an ability.
He could hardly imagine what kind of genius could conceive such a plan.
He could only attribute this to—
"The guidance of a master."
His thoughts, like those of the outside world, believed it to be the joint scheming of Wenxin Heaven, White Jade Capital, Mo Family’s Great Wall, He Yue Village, and other places.
He also could not understand why the Fan Family was chosen.
However, he was never one to wallow in self-pity; in whatever he did, as long as he had a direction, he would charge forward, even if it cost him dearly. When he learned that Spirit-Extending Grass could prolong Fan Wubing’s life, he resolutely ventured alone into the Fan Family Forbidden Land.
If you are going to do it,
then do it to the best!
...
At the Eternal Immortal Sect, Mei Jinqiu was so shocked upon seeing the Fan Family’s plan that he trembled all over and hurriedly went to the celestial mountain where Zhu Zixuan resided to seek an audience, only to find Luo Ling Immortal and Chengming had already arrived before him.
Zhu Zixuan still bore an unperturbed expression, glancing at the three, "I’ve also seen the plan you mentioned. It’s truly remarkable, covering almost every school of thought and skill including Dao, Confucianism, Mohism, Agriculture, Craftsmanship, and Legalism. However, unfortunately, I haven’t received any information from White Jade Capital regarding this plan."
Luo Ling Immortal appeared more steady and mature than before, exuding a reliable and convincing aura,
"To create such a plan requires collaborative research and formulation by scholars from various fields. Yet from the writing and mindset in the plan, it appears to be the work of one person, or a like-minded group. Especially the idea of constructing five Small Profound Realms and linking them to form one Great Profound Realm is ingenious, not something resulting from collective research."
Chengming was quite amazed, "From the same party? Is there such a polymath in the world?"
Zhu Zixuan shook his head and said, "This is beyond the question of being a polymath. Even if one person studied all the schools of thought and doctrines thoroughly, integrating them is still extremely difficult. Many philosophies are inherently contradictory. The idea of mutually complementing strengths is not suitable for ideologies concerning the great path."
"Then what sort of person does Celestial Venerable Zhu think wrote this plan?" Mei Jinqiu asked.
Zhu Zixuan pondered for a moment, "I don’t believe an independent individual could have written it."
"An independent individual?" The crowd was somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Zixuan said, "A normal and independent person would certainly have their own thoughts. Whether writing articles, Daoist scriptures, or making plans, they involuntarily incorporate their own thinking. Even in highly specialized content, there will be traces of ’characteristics’ when exploring feasibility and implementation. But in this plan, from start to finish, I didn’t see any characteristics." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
After digesting Zhu Zixuan’s words, the three of them thought about the plan again and found it to be true.
Luo Ling Immortal considered and said, "It seems like a concrete expression of a collective will?"
Zhu Zixuan smiled slightly, "Truly worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Luo Family, succinctly put."
"Celestial Venerable Zhu overrates me."
Chengming said, "For a nation, the expressed result of collective will is the Dragon of Destiny. Then what collective will does this plan represent? The beings of Little South Continent?"
Zhu Zixuan said, "Do you think the beings of Little South Continent can support this plan?"
Chengming shook his head.
It wasn’t out of disdain but a statement of fact.
Though Little South Continent was making good progress, it was still far from sufficient.
Luo Ling Immortal asked, "Heavenly Dao’s intention?"
That seemed a bit too grand.
Theoretically, Heavenly Dao has no subjective consciousness, nor has it actively bestowed blessings upon any continent, why specifically draft a plan for the Fan Family? Even if the Heavenly Dao truly wanted to nurture Little South Continent, it would hand the plan to the Confucianists for stewardship.
After all, the "Wenxin Histories" recording history, "Celestial Registers" recording world powers, and "Encyclopedia of All Things" were all managed by Confucianists, better suited for coordination.
Zhu Zixuan muttered, "It seems attending this Fan Family’s Dao Discussion Conference is now a must."
As a Celestial Venerable of the Daoist School, he clearly understood the true value of the Fan Family’s plan, not only would it benefit Little South Continent. The same scheme, with some modifications to suit local conditions, could also be applied elsewhere. And the Profound Realms created based on this plan would surpass traditional ones in terms of cyclical energy flow and universal operation.
Zhu Zixuan was somewhat enlightened, he hadn’t seen such a novel thing in a very long time.
