"Oh?" Please speak? Long Chen said.
Previously, Dean Long Chen once said that the Classic of Tea mentions: When a superior attains the Way, he rises to the rank of Heavenly Official; The middle scholar attains the Way, and the immortals of the Southern Palace are arrayed; The lower scholar attains the Way and lives long in the world.
In fact, this phrase was criticized by countless practitioners at the time. To be honest, I also consulted many so-called famous scholars because of it, and they scoffed at it, causing a ... Very unpleasant! The Tea God Dao Patriarch's face darkened.
What he said was a very unpleasant argument was actually a sudden falling out on the spot, and then he couldn't win or insult him, so he could only swallow his anger.
Later, he stopped seeking advice from others and directly founded the Tea God Dao, becoming his own patriarch. He revered the Tea Saint like a deity and vowed to promote the Way of Tea.
Today, when he met Long Chen and said this, the Tea God Dao Patriarch couldn't help but say,
"I really want to know your understanding."
As soon as the Tea God Dao Patriarch finished speaking, the onlookers from afar, as well as the powerful figures inside the Wine God Palace, all turned to look at Long Chen.
The Tea Sage's words were too mysterious, ambiguous, even somewhat rebellious, almost like madness, so people were full of curiosity about this person.
Long Chen smiled and said, "It's normal that this statement is too arrogant and not understood by others, so it doesn't gain recognition."
The superior scholar attains the Way and is promoted to the rank of Heavenly Official; The middle scholar attains the Way, and the immortals of the Southern Palace are arrayed; The lower scholar attains the Way and lives long in the world.
On the surface, it sounds like he is extremely confident in his own tea philosophy, full of pride, which makes people uncomfortable.
However, many people misinterpret the meaning of the Tea Sage; this phrase was spoken in the final paragraph of the Classic of Tea.
However, this statement is not specifically about the Classic of Tea, nor does it say that the Way of Tea must be used to seek the Way of Heaven.
What he said about attaining the Way encompassed all paths, not necessarily the Way of Tea. However, some people, unable to understand the Classic of Tea, developed prejudices against the Tea Sage, obscuring the view of the mountain like a leaf that blinds the eyes. "
After attaining the Way, you can truly ascend to the rank of Heavenly Official; The Southern Palace Liexian (Immortals); Will they live for a long time? The Tea God Dao ancestor still asked.
"Do you know about being promoted to the rank of Heavenly Official? The Southern Palace Liexian (Immortals); What does 'living long and long' mean? Long Chen asked.
"I really don't know much about this ...." The Tea God Dao Patriarch originally wanted to say he knew, but felt it might not be so simple, so he didn't dare to say it, fearing embarrassment.
Long Chen said, "To ascend to the Heavenly Official among the Heavenly Officials is the Heavenly God, the deity who governs the order of the Nine Heavens. You can think of him as the ruler of our world here."
Among the Immortals of Nangong, Nangong refers to the Lingxiao Palace from mythological times, also called the Heavenly Palace, where the heavenly officials reside.
'Lie Xian' refers to those ranked among the immortals. If the Heavenly Official is the ruler, then the Southern Palace Immortals are officials outside the Heavenly Palace.
However, Nangong has another theory: it is said that in the Nine Heavens World, there is the Supreme Divine Realm, five palaces, Central Palace Lingxiao, Nangong Yuxu, and Northern Palace Wuliang.
Yuxu Palace is the Southern Palace, the main gate of the Heavenly Palace and also the Gate of Life. Its counterpart is the Infinite Palace, which is the Gate of Death, where life and death are opposed.
So Nangong Liexian can also be understood as standing outside the gate of Yuxu Palace, separated only by one door from Lingxiao Palace. Perhaps this gate is the distinction between the Tea Sage and the middle scholar.
As for the lower scholar attaining the Way and living a long life, it probably means having a longer lifespan than ordinary practitioners, understanding the principles of the workings of the Heavenly Way, having a calm heart like water, and a long lifespan.
These are just some of my personal insights. As for whether they mean that, I'm afraid we can only ask the Tea Sage. Long
Chen's words left countless powerful figures present dumbfounded. What Long Chen said was something even these old fellows who had lived countless years had never heard of before.
"Dean Long Chen, do the Five Palaces really exist? Is Lingxiao Academy related to Lingxiao Palace? "An elderly man from afar couldn't help but interject. He was a half-step Divine Sovereign expert, with white hair and beard, but his tone was extremely respectful.
Long Chen smiled bitterly and said, "No one knows if the Five Palaces exist. I only saw some introductions in the classics of Lingxiao Academy."
However, these introductions are mostly written in the form of mythological stories and lack much basis.
However, some stories are tightly linked, reasonable, and stand up to scrutiny.
Especially the arrangements among the Five Palaces and Eight Gates, mentioned in ancient texts, are so profound and eye-opening that they are truly breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the stories recorded in myths are always one-sided, offering only a glimpse of the whole picture but not the whole, which is truly lamentable.
Therefore, when it comes to mythological stories, my attitude is that you must neither disbelieve nor fully believe them.
As for whether Lingxiao Academy is related to the Lingxiao Palace from mythology, to be honest, I really don't know. After reading through so many ancient books, I haven't found any connection between the two.
If you're interested, you can also visit Lingxiao Academy. As I always say, as long as you come with goodwill, I will never let you down. "
Truly worthy of being the youngest dean in Lingxiao Academy's history. Such insight, such magnanimity, and this magnanimity are truly admirable.
Old and old, I cannot cross the Sea of Demons, nor can I withstand the impact of the Heavenly Tribulation barrier. I will never reach Minghao Heaven in this lifetime.
However, I will definitely send an outstanding disciple to visit on my behalf. The old man sighed.
Between Ming Hao Heaven and Ziyan Heaven lies a powerful Heavenly Realm barrier. Below the Immortal King realm, one can freely pass through the barrier, but once you reach the Realm King realm, passing through the barrier comes at a tremendous cost—if you're not careful, you might lose your life.
If it were a very weak Realm King, it would be fine, but the stronger the Realm King, the more terrifying the impact they endure. For a half-step Divine Lord like them to break through the Heavenly Realm barrier is no different from throwing themselves to their deaths.
So, they have no hope left in this life; from now on, they can only send their own disciples to Lingxiao Academy.
Although everyone knows that Lingxiao Academy is the number one academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the oldest in history, as it gradually declined, no one mentioned it for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and people began to forget it.
Now, Long Chen has recounted so many mythological era stories, instantly reminding people that, as the oldest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, its depth is unimaginable.
Moreover, Lingxiao Academy welcomed any sect to come and exchange at any time. For a time, countless people were filled with longing for Lingxiao Academy.
"Senior, do you think we should enter the Three Thousand Worlds or not?" Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
"You guys?" My personal suggestion is to forget it. To put it bluntly, you have high standards but little ability. Without your ancestor's protection, you probably would have been reincarnated long ago.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, there are countless ruthless people. The chances of you coming out alive are extremely low. You'd better focus on going to Minghao Heaven to obtain the scriptures. Long Chen said.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, senior. Patriarch, I will set out now. I will definitely bring back the Tea Classic in its entirety." Qing Yu said confidently, showing no regret at all about missing the Three Thousand World Event.
The Tea God Dao Patriarch thanked Long Chen once again, then left with his disciples. After seeing everyone off, Long Chen returned to the Wine God Palace. When he looked into the chaotic space again, Long Chen was shocked:
"What's going on?"
