   Excerpt from Chapter 44 of *The Path Illuminated by Fire*: Having said this, he raised an eyebrow, lifted his left hand high, then clasped his hands together before opening them. A radiant swastika, seemingly cast in gold, appeared in his palm. Behind him, the towering Buddha image moved in sync, its palm also displaying a swastika, as dazzling as the sun. Wan Qianqiu gently lifted the swastika with his right hand, slowly pressing it forward, extremely slowly yet steadily. The two swastikas, one large and one small, carried the force of collapsing mountains, seemingly carrying the power of the entire world, causing the long river of characters to recede continuously. Upon seeing this, the old man in plain clothes finally changed his expression. His long robe billowed high without wind, and he angrily shouted, "This is outrageous! Do you really think the Confucian school can be bullied?" Wan Qianqiu laughed loudly and said domineeringly, "So what if I bully you?" Then, he suddenly waved his hand, and two large "" shaped magic seals flew out of his hand, striking the four of them with lightning speed. Chu Huainan and the other two changed their expressions drastically and hurriedly tried their best to activate the Hidden Heaven Pavilion. Under their activation, the Hidden Heaven Pavilion spun rapidly, and the long river of characters around it almost solidified. At this moment, the old man sweeping the floor raised his eyebrows, his eyes wide with anger, and his long robe fluttered without wind. He shouted, "This is intolerable! What is intolerable?" With the old man sweeping the floor's shout, a surging sea appeared behind him, with a giant Kun from the North Sea swimming in it. Upon closer inspection, both the sea and the giant Kun were evolved from densely packed, extremely small characters. At this moment, the old man sweeping the floor proclaimed in a loud voice, "In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun is so large, no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans..." This was the Confucian classic *Free and Easy Wandering*. As the old man recited, the giant Kun of the Northern Sea, formed from the words, gradually grew larger, no less imposing than the colossal Buddha standing tall behind Wan Qianqiu. "Transforming into a bird, its name is Peng..." The old man shouted, and a melodious Kun cry rang out. The giant Kun of the Northern Sea surged into the sky, creating towering waves. The soaring giant Kun then transformed into a Peng bird in the heavens. With a high-pitched and resounding Peng cry, the Peng bird spread its wings and flapped them, blotting out the sun and sky... The old man swept the floor again, shouting, "Heaven and Earth, day and night, float!" With his shout, behind him, the blue sea and sky, the sun and moon, appeared. He then formed hand seals and pushed forward. In an instant, the small pagoda of light transformed from the Hidden Heaven Pavilion merged with the Peng bird, which carried it in its beak. Like the most powerful warrior wielding the sharpest sword, it thrust forward at lightning speed. At this moment, both sides exerted their full strength, and the spiritual struggle was reflected in reality, no longer concealed. At this time, even some ordinary people who had not cultivated could almost feel the abnormality, hearing the sound of reading aloud and the flowing of a long river of words. Of course, they also saw the towering Buddha and the sea of ​​strange flowers that almost filled the void, and were overwhelmed with shock. Some people fled frantically to avoid this monstrous disaster, some boasted of their profound cultivation and remained calm in the face of danger, and many true Confucian scholars were suddenly inspired and began to paint. Others sang wildly in the wind and rain, composing poems aloud. "I am a madman of Chu, singing like a phoenix, laughing at Confucius." "Autumn review of troops on the battlefield, horses gallop like the wind, bows twang like thunder." "The great river flows eastward, its waves washing away countless heroes of the past." ... Witnessing such a breathtaking clash of titans, some free-spirited and bold Confucian scholars immediately burst into song amidst the wind and rain, displaying the free-spirited elegance of Confucianism—how exhilarating! In the blink of an eye, everything happened. With a deafening boom, the rapidly merging "" swastika seal collided with the Peng bird carrying the Hidden Heaven Pavilion in its beak. In an instant, space and time froze, heaven and earth fell silent, the torrential rain falling from the sky momentarily stopped and hovered in the air, and the Confucian scholars who were still singing wildly stood still, speechless. In an instant, as if the world had changed drastically, everything returned to normal. The torrential rain fell, and the resounding chants of the Confucian scholars echoed through the heavens and earth… The Hidden Heaven Pavilion flew out with a deafening roar, crashing into Mount Tai in the blink of an eye, collapsing several peaks and raising clouds of dust before being buried beneath the rubble, disappearing without a trace. Countless people stared blankly as the nine-story building, which had stood tall against the sky for centuries, vanished in an instant, collapsing several peaks of Mount Tai. Their mouths gaped open, speechless with shock. The shock they felt was beyond description. When the light faded, the river of words ceased to flow, the light and shadow became illusory and dim, the roc's wings were broken, the sun and moon shattered, the blue sky collapsed, and the sea dried up. Only Chu Huainan and his two companions remained, crashed against the high wall behind them, spitting blood and motionless. The old man sweeping the floor became ethereal, protecting the three of them. His gaze was cold and unfathomable as he looked at the nonchalant Wan Qianqiu. Behind Wan Qianqiu, the giant Buddha had seemingly split open, transforming into the demonic ancestor's form. Beneath the demonic ancestor bloomed a sea of ​​crimson spider lilies, their color as red as blood, flames illuminating the sky… Chu Huainan and the other two were ashen-faced, their eyes dim as they stared at Wan Qianqiu, their hearts turning icy. How could Wan Qianqiu be so terrifying? A Martial God, two Martial Saints, and a mysterious old man far surpassing the Martial God realm, all using a Confucian-inherited divine artifact, were they so utterly defeated? They had given their all, yet Wan Qianqiu had so easily crushed them. How could they not feel despair? Was the combat power of someone at the Celestial Realm truly so terrifying?
