Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

Of course, the prerequisite of elemental affinity was not always absolute. Even if a person had non-matching elemental affinities, they could still join the various schools. The school of Legalism accepted all elements, while the school of the Military was not fixed on metal and fire either. On the other hand, while the school of Buddhism did accept all, the main cultivation method they practised focused on force and strength, so yang, and the great, righteous spirit of the school of Confucianism also required Profound Yang.

They could write an entire book on the considerations they took into account. Li Qingshan only possessed a rough understanding, ensuring that he would not make any general mistakes.

All of the Qi Practitioners stood in line according to how they had initially boarded the ship. They would hear the instructor call their names one by one. After they were called, they would step onto the formation.

“Chen Han!”

A man walked out from the group and arrived at the centre of the formation. The five elements lit up simultaneously. His metal, wood, water, and earth elements were all very weak, but his fire was a blazing ball that stood seven feet high. The yin and yang qi above his head displayed two shades, one light and one dark. Light completely exceeded dark.

Only then did Li Qingshan understand why the testing formation was so large. As it turned out, it could simultaneously test the strength of the various elements.

The male instructor took note of this. “High yi for fire, low yi for yang, and the rest is low ding.”

TL: Once again, the levels of talent is named after the twelve heavenly stems (just the top four in this case). High, mid, and low are self-explanatory, but the heavenly stems in this case appear to be jia > yi > bing > ding, from highest to lowest. The heavenly stems also appear to be the more dominant measure, so a low jia talent would be better than a high yi talent for example.

When Hua Chenglu walked into the formation, a huge shadow immediately above her. She was deemed to have low jia for yin, making her a good disciple for the school of Legalism. She left the formation under everyone’s gazes of amazement.



Closely following her was Yu Zijian. She was slightly nervous. She still practised the Innate Method of Practising Qi right now, and she never had her element affinity tested so far.

The formation flashed and produced an extremely soft thrum. Scorching, white light blinded everyone’s eyes as a dazzling ball of light rose up above her head, like a miniature sun.

The light poured through the Watermirror disc, landing in the gloomy room and lighting up everyone’s faces. The expressions of all of the leaders changed slightly.

Liu Zhangqing smiled. “High jia for yang. She’s suitable for practising the righteous spirit of Confucianism. Surely she’s mine, right?”

All people who could reach the extremes of any single element were rare geniuses.

“The fuck do you know?” The slovenly daoist priest that had remained silent the entire time, sipping his alcohol with his head lowered, suddenly spoke.

“Please enlighten me, senior!” Liu Zhangqing was an extremely cultivated person. He bowed and asked for guidance, demonstrating the gentleness, modesty, and courtesy of confucianism.

Of course, the primary reason was because he was not this old daoist priest’s opponent. He was only at early Foundation Establishment, while the old daoist priest had already reached late Foundation Establishment.

The slovenly daoist priest ignored him, remaining fixated on the Watermirror disc as his gaze became quite fervent. All the other leaders of the schools were shocked by this. All of them knew this old daoist was violent-tempered and foul-mouthed, looking down on everything. Yu Zijian’s talent might have been extraordinary, but there was no need for him to behave like this!

But that gave everything away. Liu Zhangqing exclaimed, “The Pure Yang constitution!”

Apart from the scorching ball of light above Yu Zijian’s head, there was not even the tiniest sliver of darkness.

Regular people possessed both yin and yang, just like how birth could not happen with yin alone, and growth could not happen with yang alone. Only extremely accomplished cultivators could reach the limits of yang and produce yin as a result, attaining the state of pure yang. This had always been the most simple principle in cultivation. If there was light, then there was darkness. If there was yin, then there was yang.

However, there were a few, rare cases of people being born with pure yin or pure yang, which gave them a sacred constitution for cultivation. However, men were primarily yang, and women were primarily yin. For the Pure Yang constitution to appear on a woman, it was an outlier among outliers.





Chapter 280: Five Elements Constitution | Legend of the Great Sage




At the same time, among the five elements for Yu Zijian, a fine-textured, treasured sword directly condensed for the position of metal. It had also made the rankings of jia, but no one took note of it.

Everyone’s eyes lit up. The slovenly daoist priest immediately began to regret his actions.

Sure enough, Liu Zhangqing clapped his hands. “Now that’s a disciple of my school of Confucianism!”

The slovenly daoist priest shook his head. “Now that’s nonsense! If the Pure Yang constitution isn’t used to practise daoism, it’s literally throwing it to waste. The righteous spirit is just a lesser path of cultivation!”

“Amitābha. Sirs, please do not argue. This child has a destiny with the buddha. She’ll definitely be able to attain the fruition of wisdom and condense a ?arīra!” Before Liu Zhangqing could refute him, the One Thought monk had already begun spouting buddhist terms.

The slovenly daoist priest smiled. “Why don’t you ask the girly whether she wants to shave her head and become a damned ass with you?”

The One Thought monk was taken aback. Although hair was known as the strands of kleshas, or afflictions, were there any young women willing to cast it aside unless they were completely devastated inside? The school of Buddhism was a major school, but they had nowhere near as many disciples as the slovenly daoist priest, and it was exactly because of these rules and precepts. As a result, the One Thought monk stopped arguing. He only lowered his head and chanted to himself, having already made up his mind to try to win her over later.

The slovenly daoist priest thought, This bald ass won’t pose any problems, but as for Liu Zhangqing, he’ll be an issue. Though, I can just tell the girly about prefect Liu’s romantic affair when the time comes. He snickered.

Liu Zhangqing shivered inside when he heard the snicker. He knew the slovenly daoist priest was up to no good, but he only smiled elegantly, expressing his determination to win her over.

Since the three of them had already spoken, the other leaders decided to keep their mouths shut, and it was not just because the Pure Yang constitution was indeed suited for their three schools the most. Among the academy, the schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism possessed the greatest influence and power too, so how were they supposed to contend in terms of resources?

All the schools just served as a platform for cultivation. Even the line between the statuses of master and disciple was not as clear as it was in sects. Disciples were responsible for earning their own cultivation resources, rather similar to the schools from Li Qingshan’s previous life.

However, once they came across an actual genius, they would do everything that they could, regardless of the cost, to win them over. The hundred schools of thought would contend against one another, forming their own factions. An additional genius disciple would be additional power in the future.

Originally, no one paid much attention to this young girl beside Hua Chenglu, but the radiance she displayed now stunned everyone.

Hua Chengzan glanced over from afar and saw Yu Zijian scamper out of the formation in a hurry. He smiled. So it was the Pure Yang constitution. That was what it was. They should be able to tell, right?

Among these people, no, the entire Academy of the Hundred Schools, probably no one had a brighter future than her; this was just a glimpse of her glory.
