In the Great Yan Capital City, dark clouds blotted out the sky.
A Golden Lotus, condensed from boundless Golden Light, bloomed between heaven and earth, a sight as stunning as the creation of the world itself.
The Dao Golden Lotus was as solid as refined gold, perfectly whole and flawless, formed from the world's purest Vast Righteous Qi.
The terrifying phenomenon of the Confucian Golden Lotus drew the Mountain Masters from academies all across Great Yan, and countless streams of light appeared in the sky above.
"My mind is the principle."
The scholars kneeling at the gates of the Imperial City, the high-ranking officials in their manors, the students studying in Shengjing Academy—upon hearing this voice of the Great Dao, every single one of them revealed looks of utter shock.
"Who has comprehended a new school of thought!"
"The source seems to be within the Imperial Palace!"
"Truly, Celestial Protection is upon Great Yan! For a new school to be born within our lands!"
