Global Killing: Awakening SSS-level Talent at the Beginning Chapter 1401:

In contrast to the previous war-ravaged realm, this one thrives under perfect order and rule.

With just a thought from Qin Feng, he scanned the entire nation, observing high officials and commoners amid bustling trades and dealings.

Within the imperial palace, the emperor diligently reviewed memorials!

Senior officials in the grand court racked their brains for superior policies to govern the land.

Schools rang with the diligent chants of youths poring over books!

Fields overflowed with roaming cattle and sheep, heavy with abundant yields!

Markets swarmed with crowds, brimming with vibrant clamor.

Prosperity bloomed across this world, peace enveloping every inch, bringing comfort to the soul.

Yet the Heavenly Dao here demands grasping an innate Dao to conquer the trial.

This left Qin Feng utterly baffled!

Surveying the globe, he spotted numerous Dao-linked scenes.

None connected to the Xiantian Great Dao!

Could the Innate Great Dao truly lurk in such a realm?

Qin Feng puzzled over it, gazing down at the world while deep in contemplation...

Before long, he realized this world held something absent before: ideological nurturing!

Examining schools and offices revealed a fresh scholar-official system, echoing ancient imperial exams in Longbi!

Literati commanded immense prestige here!

Unlike earlier worlds that championed raw power!

The doctrines of these scholars centered on rites, righteousness, honor, and shame—much like Longyuan's ancient Confucianism.

This sight struck a chord in Qin Feng!

Memories flooded him of Daos comprehended on his journey: ants, cocoon breaking, character creation, civilization, nation, all nations, rise and fall.

He had beheld humanity's civilization emerge from nothingness and cycle through glory and ruin.

Now, it evolved from chaos to grand governance, reaching new heights of advancement.

Was amplified ideological education the key to all this?

Probably not solely that!

Huh~! What are those?

Abruptly, Qin Feng's gaze locked onto remote, barren mountains sparsely dotted with folk.

His enhanced sight easily identified them as dragon veins.

Beneath those twisting dragon veins lay nine Dragon-Locking Pillars!

Dragon-Locking Pillars!

They sealed dragon vein essences and heaven-earth spirits!

Day and night, these pillars drained dragon vein energies and worldly spiritual power, waxing ever stronger!

Consequently, this world's spiritual energy grew ever scarcer, doomed to dissipate, unfit for cultivation!

Evidently, certain forces sought to bar humans here from practicing...

Still, cultivators persisted in this realm.

Qin Feng noted hidden sects clustered near the Dragon-Locking Pillars.

Heaven-rank humans lurked within those sects!

Sect members harnessed secret techniques to siphon spiritual energy from the pillars, achieving swift cultivation gains.

These sects aimed to shield the world across endless generations.

Such visions left Qin Feng deeply perplexed!

Why would humans here willfully seal heaven-earth spiritual energy, halting all cultivation!

In past grand worlds, Earth-rank powerhouses dotted human ranks, Heaven-rank ones plentiful.

Tribal brawls, warlord strife, sky-soaring feats—all commonplace!

Yet this harmonious world boasted no Earth-rank humans, prizing scholars above warriors...

No one here seemed to ever fly through skies or burrow earth!

However, secluded sacred peaks harbored dragon pillar guardians—cultivators nonetheless.

Their paths had turned agonizingly arduous...

Who pulled the strings behind it all?

Qin Feng strangely sensed these nine worlds' trajectories mirrored Longbi's own...

Myth held Longbi ancestors routinely soared skies and pierced earth!

Later, heaven-earth spiritual energy vanished; ancestors lost cultivation, such feats faded.

Longbi folk settled into tranquil lives, valuing literature over force.

Yet folklore whispered of rare immortal cultivation marvels...

Might someone have intentionally suppressed heaven-earth spiritual energy, denying ancestors cultivation?

Qin Feng furrowed his brow in heavy rumination!

Suddenly, inspiration struck; he recalled Longbi ancestors' timeless classic, the Tao Te Ching!

Its third chapter on sage rule contained lines: Keep the people ever ignorant, desire-free; make the wise hesitate to act! Through non-action, all finds harmony!

Boom~!

These words electrified Qin Feng, stirring his soul!

Instant enlightenment dawned!

Do not honor the virtuous, so the people do not strive!

Hold rarities cheap, so the people shun theft!

Conceal desirables, so hearts remain unruffled!

Such world-ruling arts define saintly dominion!

To Qin Feng, it resembled herding beasts, stifling human drive and ambition.

Much like Western bread-and-circuses, lulling the masses into complacency, slashing stability's toll!

These tactics seemed brutally heartless!

Yet from a saint's vantage, they shifted hue!

What defines heaven and earth? What makes a saint?

Heaven-earth show no benevolence, treating all things as straw dogs!

Sages show no benevolence, regarding common folk as straw dogs!

This very governance mirrors saintly mastery!

Qin Feng's eyes blazed with light as profound insight surged within!

The instant after, he shut his eyes, plunging into epiphany.

Time slipped away unnoticed!

Moments later, thirty minutes had flown by!

Then, a subtle glow enveloped Qin Feng's form!

The new Dao stirred to life.
