One had to admit that Ao Qing's method was very effective.
After leaving, Confucius began to travel around the countries according to the orders of Dao Ancestor Ao Qing. He propagated the Confucian path of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect and warned the kings to rule the country with benevolence and courtesy. At the same time, in order to achieve a better publicity effect, Confucius also claimed that he was the Emperor of Confucianism conferred by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing.
Originally, the kings of the various countries disdained Confucius's lectures and propaganda, but when they heard that he was guided by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing and became the Emperor of Confucianism of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect, many kings immediately threw an olive branch to Confucius, hoping that he could take on some important positions in their countries.
Confucius naturally knew that all of this was because of Dao Ancestor Ao Qing. He immediately refused all of them and chose to give lectures freely, spreading the Confucian path everywhere.
At first, no one believed in Confucius's Confucianism, but slowly, more and more people began to accept the ideas of Confucianism and joined the branch of Confucius's Confucianism.
Almost in a few days, more and more people were willing to cultivate and learn Confucianism. The number of people who were willing to become Confucius's students also increased. In just a few days, there were more than a thousand people.
Confucius was very happy that Confucianism was recognized by so many people. For a time, he worked harder and harder to promote the ideas of Confucianism, rule the country with courtesy, and so on.
In order to praise the achievements of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect's leader Ao Qing, after all, it was Dao Ancestor Ao Qing who asked Confucius to establish Confucianism and recruit apprentices. Confucius specifically asked his students to build several Confucian Path colleges for Ao Qing. The statue of Dao Ancestor Ao Qing was located in the center of the Confucian Path college's courtyard and attracted a lot of incense every day.
Now that the dynasties were changing and the countries were divided, the idea of benevolence and virtue quickly spread among the various countries.
In order to commemorate Dao Ancestor Ao Qing's achievement in establishing Confucianism, the kings also built several Confucian Path colleges and built a golden statue of Ao Qing.
Unknowingly, a month had passed, and the number of Confucian apprentices had reached tens of thousands. Basically, they were the high-ranking officials of various countries, and even the kings of various countries.
Only now did people discover that the mysterious Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect, Ao Qing, was not only so formidable in establishing a sect, he was even able to create a sect that was filled with Confucian ideology. In a moment, there was no need to mention how shocked everyone was. Their respect for Dao Ancestor Ao Qing became even deeper.
While Confucius's Confucianism was quietly spreading rapidly, Laozi's Taoism was also spreading rapidly.
But unlike history, Laozi's Daoism was propagated through the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion's branch. Laozi was the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion's leader, spreading his teachings throughout the continent.
It didn't take long for Laozi's Taoism to develop rapidly. Although it wasn't as fast as Confucianism, it had developed a lot of believers, laying the foundation for the development of Taoism in the future.
Of course, it was inevitable that the golden statue of Dao Ancestor Ao Qing would appear on the Daoist temple.
In short, thanks to Dao Ancestor Ao Qing's efforts, the two major sects that could've taken away the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion's fortune not only didn't take it away, but also helped to consolidate the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion.
With the rapid development of the two major sects, ideas and sects such as Legalism, School of Vertical and Horizontal, Mohism, and the School of Agriculture were also developing rapidly, influencing the thoughts of the kings who ruled the entire human race.
The entire human world had finally entered the era of a hundred schools of thought contending. Countless ideas and exchanges were actively colliding.
Countless learned scholars were actively thinking about what kind of ideas and laws could truly govern the country, maintain the rule of the country, and make the human race more prosperous.
Was it the Legalism's rule of law?!
Or was it the School of Vertical and Horizontal's use of weapons to control hegemony? Or was it the School of Taoism's non-interference …?
However, despite the active collisions of ideas between the major nations, almost every scholar believed that the existence of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion was only beneficial to the nation. Only the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion could make the human race more prosperous.
Only by worshipping and believing in Dao Ancestor Ao Qing would the human race be able to go further.
It was precisely because of this that after the Zhou Dynasty was split into countless countries, all of them adopted the development policy of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect as their national religion and relied on the strength of the cultivators produced by the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect to divide the territory.
Similar to the trends in history, Qi and Chu were the most prosperous of the many nations. Qin, which would unify the world in the future, had yet to complete Shang Yang's reform and accumulate sufficient resources. It was still in a very weak state.
Ao Qing naturally took note of everything that was happening to the human race. However, after teaching Confucius, Xiangyu, and the others, he didn't intervene. Instead, he quietly waited for merit to come knocking on his door.
It didn't disappoint him. With the rapid development of Confucianism and Daoism, countless merit points came to his ears.
His originally incomparably large halo of merit also became even larger due to the addition of these merit points. It was even as tall and large as a two-story building.
One had to know that his previous halo of merit was only the size of an adult. Now it was three or four times larger. Looking from afar, it was a visual impact!
If the Queen Mother, who planned all of this, was here, she would be so angry that she would pass out.
One had to know that Confucius and the others had always been the Queen Mother's pawns in the human world. Her purpose was to divide the Heavenly Dragon Divine Religion's fortune …
At this time, Ao Qing's figure flashed and landed on the fishing village of the East Sea. Before he could return to the Sea Realm, suddenly, a soaring demonic aura filled the air and shrouded the entire East Sea Coast.
The sky that was originally cloudless for thousands of miles instantly became dark and lightless.
The atmosphere of the entire East Sea changed in an instant. It was unknown what kind of terrifying change had occurred.
Ao Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It seemed that someone had deliberately come to stop him at the place he was returning to and wanted to kill him here.
It was a pity that this person would not be able to return, just like the previous few times.
"Dao Ancestor Ao Qing, you're very lucky to have met the Four Great Primordial Beasts today.
Don't worry, we will treat you well … "A vigorous voice suddenly reverberated. One of the Four Great Primordial Beasts, Taotie, was about to speak when Ao Qing waved his hand and the Tai Qing Heavenly Thunder fell without warning!
The moment the Tai Qing Heavenly Thunder fell, the Four Great Primordial Beasts and the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts were all stunned!
