The human calamity has finally been overcome!

But nothing came.

Cao Zhe did not wait for his immortal status, nor did he take advantage of the opportunity to become an immortal.

Although he shouldn't say this, Cao Zhe felt that he was still a mortal.

"Wait! Surviving the three disasters and nine tribulations only means that you have the qualifications to be an immortal. The heaven will issue you an immortal certificate, and then you will enter the heaven and become an immortal. But who should issue my immortal certificate?"

"Shall I send it to myself?" Cao Zhe suddenly realized and smacked his mouth, feeling inexplicably regretful.

Promoting himself to become an immortal by himself was too coquettish, and Cao Zhe said that he couldn't do it because of his shame.

"Although I have become powerful and invincible, I have also lost a lot of the happiness that comes with growing up."

"For example, when most people become immortals, they can be happy for at least a whole year, but I... survived all three disasters and nine tribulations, but I only feel bored." Cao Zhe's right eye looked at the man who had completely recovered and even been suppressed. Humanity backfired and he withdrew his gaze.

Wen Gong has done a very good job. As a converter between awe-inspiring energy and literary energy, it will be nailed to humanity and become one of the rules of this world.

Perhaps many years later, Cao Zhe can summon it and use it as a regular weapon to fight against the enemy.

Cao Zhe indeed has not taken a step out of the martial arts mountain.

Even if he pushed Wen Gong, traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and went to the Plum Blossom Mountain to show his sage, it was just a random effort.

He pushed with his cloud-pushing hand. Although it moved the world, the sound was a little louder, but it cannot be said that this was not martial arts.

"Confucianism and Taoism, martial arts, combining the two, I wonder if it will lead to something?" Cao Zhe suddenly thought again.

After all, what Confucianism cultivators need is talent and talent. In fact, for geniuses, it does not consume much time, so in theory, it is possible for Confucianism and martial arts cultivators to become the same.

"Forget it! Let the disciples do it themselves!"

"I don't have to be their mother and take care of everything for them."

At this time, Cao Zhe's eyes crossed the boundary and looked towards the lower world.

Since the blood-robed ancestor was directly crushed to death by Cao Zhe, the world formed by the fusion of Immortal Sword One and Shushan Legend has gone through a period of recovery.

The remaining practitioners of each sect, after a brief period of confusion, emerged cautiously, and then returned to their respective camps, intending to rebuild the mountain gate and restore it to its former glory.

Cao Zhe's eyes swept across the mountains, rivers and land, and at the same time he also collected a lot of cultivation information from the lower realms.

"What the Immortal Sword One World cultivates is not the Immortal Qi, but the True Qi, but this True Qi is different from the ordinary warrior's True Qi, with a bit of past life's cause and effect. Therefore, the ordinary True Qi has been sublimated and has extraordinary powers. But it should be said that in the world of Xian Jianyi, there are not many types of spells, and the application methods are mostly focused on sword techniques."

"Rather than being a cultivator, it is better to say that it is closer to a 'warrior' of a specific nature, but it has great limitations. Personal achievement depends on destiny's cause and effect, and the karma of the past life. If there is no destiny and no blessing of the wheel of cause and effect, ordinary People who embark on this path of cultivating immortals cannot go very far, but in fact they are not much different from ordinary people in the world."

"The Shushan system relies more on magic weapons. Although it also cultivates the immortal energy, it digs out the immortal energy from the body through continuous reincarnation and re-cultivation."

"This is different from collecting the inspiration of heaven and earth and intercepting the vitality of all things."

"This road...why does it feel a little wrong!"

"Like being born from the same parents and developing in different directions?"

Cao Zhe absorbed the nutrients and calculated quickly at the same time.

Extract the useful parts directly for your own use.

Cao Zhe solved the problem of human catastrophe and let go of Confucianism and cultivation.

Little did they know that it was precisely because of the reform of Confucianism and Taoism that it caused such a big disturbance.

The twelfth year of Tianyou's reign in the Song Dynasty.

The barren people from the far north invaded south again, missing the border areas of Da Chu, which had strong soldiers and horses, and headed straight for the Song Dynasty.

The grass clearing began as usual.

As for why it was Song and not Chu?

Of course it’s because Chu is very strong!

The city walls made of reinforced concrete and filled with cannons were already very intimidating.

The warriors on the edge of the town and the Confucian monks on the frontier are not easy to mess with either.

Even if the wizards among the deserted people cast their magic and used witchcraft, they would never be able to shake those behemoth-like fortresses at all.

Going to Chu territory to plunder is simply bringing trouble to the tribe.

In fact, if the people in the wilderness did not worship the stars in the north and could barely be regarded as "Zhenwu" dependents, Zhang Bairen knew some of the reasons and would have sent troops into the wasteland to sweep them away.

At the same time, within the Song Dynasty at this moment, the reform of Confucianism and Taoism triggered a power struggle in the court. The old and new parties were fighting fiercely. They were anxious about the border and always stayed in the middle. It did not even arouse much public reaction.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world.

Therefore, the status of scholars is much higher than that of the great Chu next door.

Scholars became assertive, not only criticizing generals and nobles, but even the emperor dared to point his nose at them.

If you get angry, you won't lose your life. At most, you will be demoted and decentralized.

The so-called scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor share the world, which can also be regarded as the aristocratic families and the royal nobles sharing the world.

Scholars from poor families still have difficulty getting ahead, and as for generals and warriors, there is even less hope.

Reform of Confucianism and Taoism lowered the threshold.

Many Confucian disciples took advantage of the situation and entered Confucianism.

The lower-class scholars who have gained power quickly want to gain status and power.

But those old people who hold high positions cling to their power and suppress those who are behind.

Such a situation is just normal.

Nowadays, because of the rise of Confucianism cultivators, Song Ting is in a state of disarray.

So much so that they did not react immediately to the invasion of the deserters and mobilized troops to suppress it.

By the time they woke up, the deserters had occupied the entire seventeen northern cities and had a large enough logistics supply base. The short-term plundering had also evolved into a long-term attack and occupation.

More barren people poured in, almost occupying half of the Song Dynasty.

In desperation, Song could only ask Da Chu for help.

The Emperor of Chu, Zhang Bairen, first sent an envoy to the Huangren tribe to mediate the war.

The messenger was beheaded, and the deserters tore his bones and cooked them.

The Emperor of Chu was furious, and then mobilized the Western Army, totaling 150,000 troops, to march towards the border between Song and Chu.

Due to the arrival of reinforcements from the Chu State, the internal pressure in the Song State was greatly reduced, and the Confucian and Taoist disputes that had been suppressed for a while began to become noisy again.

Only when the Chu people entered the Song Dynasty did they encounter the rude and overbearing demands of Song officials.

A seventh-grade civil servant must have more courtesy and troop dispatching rights than a third-grade general.

Civil servants who had no knowledge of military affairs were dictating military affairs and even attempted to interfere forcefully.

Such a confused and bastard person, after being driven out of the military camp, still spoke nonsense and was extremely arrogant and rude.

For the Chu army, although it didn't hurt at all, it was disgusting after all.

After several battles with the Huangren, the logistical supplies promised by Song Dynasty were severely lacking, and the army retreated, no longer interfering with the matter.

Then the Huangren became stronger and marched south again, aiming directly at Song Jing.
