Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 – Ye Lingyun Stirs the Aura of Righteousness! The Confucian Temple Is Shaken!

A sudden surge of vast righteous energy throughout Heaven and Earth sent ripples of commotion through the Confucian Temple. The scholars seated there exchanged glances, all catching the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“Someone has actually evoked the Confucian Qi?”
“A famous quote has appeared in the world? I wonder who the great person behind it is.”
“The Confucian Qi has been dormant for so long, yet now it stirs so violently. That person must be highly accomplished in Confucianism.”
“…”

The murmurs and discussions filled the air, echoing in the temple. Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky where the vast Qi was flowing and gathering, envy gleaming in their eyes.

Most of them, though long in the Confucian Temple, had never managed to create a world-shaking quote and evoke the Confucian Qi. Now, seeing what they had longed for appear right before them, their emotions became complex.

Li Qingyun, seated on a blue stone, did not pay attention to the noise below. His gaze was fixed on the vast Qi, flowing towards the distant sky. His brow furrowed slightly, deep in thought.

However, the next moment, the sky above suddenly darkened again, and an even greater surge of vast Qi erupted, sweeping across the area like a dragon awakening from slumber.

Boom! Boom!

The invisible Qi surged, blocking out the sky and sun, transforming into a torrent with the power of heaven and earth. It rushed eastward, as if hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

Seeing this, the scholars in the Confucian Temple could no longer remain calm. They all stood up, staring at the sky, calling out in shock.

“Th-this… this can’t be!?”
“My heavens, who is that person?”

The atmosphere was filled with shock!

Even Li Qingyun, whose demeanor had remained composed thus far, had a glint of light flash in his eyes, his expression turning grave.

As the highest-ranking and most accomplished Confucian cultivator present, he understood better than anyone just how rare and astounding this phenomenon was.

Not even during the moment he attained his current Ascension Realm cultivation did he draw forth such a grand spectacle of righteous energy.

“A world-transcending aphorism must have been born…” He rose slowly to his feet, murmuring to himself. Then, with a deep breath, he closed his eyes.

From his body, an ethereal strand of divine sense—unique to Ascension Realm cultivators—flowed out, following the trail of the vast qi as it rushed toward the east, probing the source from afar.

A moment later, Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, the divine light within his pupils fading.

“Vice Temple Master, what did you discover?!”

The others couldn’t hold back any longer and asked in haste.

Li Qingyun shook his head slightly and replied, “I can only track the source of this vast Qi to the Eastern Province. As for the person behind it, I don’t know yet.”

He paused for a moment before decisively adding, “The situation is unclear. You all remain in the temple. I will personally go to the Eastern Province and investigate.”

Without waiting for a response, he flicked his sleeve, and his figure became transparent, leaving only an afterimage behind. His true form vanished without a trace.

In Great Chu Empire, at the border, on a desolate mountaintop.

A graceful and beautiful figure sat quietly, her elegant eyes lowered, her expression serene, and no aura was emanating from her body, as if she were one with the heavens and the earth.

This ethereal beauty was none other than the Daoist Supreme of the Dao Palace—Dongfang Yuqing.

After meeting Ye Lingyun in the Chu Imperial palace, she had not left but stayed here, secretly observing the movements in the Chu palace.

It wasn’t until she sensed Ye Lingyun successfully utter a world-shaking aphorism—felt the righteous qi of Heaven and Earth begin to surge and pour into his crown acupoint—that her tightly closed eyes snapped open, and a flicker of stunned disbelief rippled through her clear, glass-like gaze.

Righteous Qi! The Confucian Way!

“How did this little one do it?”

“He’s just entered the Golden Core realm, yet he can evoke such a powerful Confucian Qi?”

Dongfang Yuqing had always valued Ye Lingyun’s innate Dao Physique, considering him a rare opportunity for the Daoist Palace in a century or even a thousand years. Now, seeing him able to trigger the Confucian Qi, her regard for him surged.

The movements caused by this vast Qi were no trivial matter, and it couldn’t be overlooked.

“Hmph.”

Her gaze sharpened. Forming a seal with her fingers, a mysterious and profound fluctuation welled up from within her. Instantly, the turbulent natural energies around her fell into utter silence.

To prevent Ye Lingyun’s involvement from being exposed—and from drawing unnecessary trouble—she did not hesitate to deploy a high-level concealment art that obscured the workings of heaven. A divine-level act of protection.

With this, no one could investigate where the vast Qi had originated from.

Her seal faded, and her hands slowly lowered. Her distant gaze pierced across thousands of miles, falling upon the Chu Imperial palace. The corners of her lips curved into a soft smile.

This little one… really doesn’t let people rest easy, does he?

Moments later, sensing a disturbance in the distant void, Dongfang Yuqing’s delicate brow arched. With a flick of her hand, a brilliant stream of light shot out.

Bang!

The speed of the light was so fast that it crossed the sky in an instant. With a muffled thud, a scholarly figure stumbled out of the void.

“Who goes there?” Li Qingyun steadied himself, his aura surging as he looked around warily.

Buzz!

Not far from him, a dazzling light flickered. Dongfang Yuqing slowly revealed herself, her beauty unperturbed, her expression calm.

Upon seeing her, Li Qingyun was taken aback. His overwhelming aura gradually dissipated, and he cupped his hands in greeting.

“So it’s Daoist Supreme Dongfang. This humble one, Li Qingyun, greets the senior.”

No matter their status or cultivation, Dongfang Yuqing clearly overshadowed Li Qingyun, and he dared not act rashly. His demeanor was humble.

At the same time, he inwardly wondered why such a mighty figure appeared here.

In that instant, a bad premonition began to stir within him.

Facing Li Qingyun’s respectful attitude, Dongfang Yuqing’s expression remained cool. She nodded lightly and spoke, “Are you here to find the one who evoked the Confucian Qi?”

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun’s expression froze. Instead of answering, he asked, “Dare I ask, Senior…?”

Before he could voice his doubts, Dongfang Yuqing spoke again, her voice low and firm.

“That person is my future disciple. You, from the Confucian Temple, should not interfere.”

“That person is the Daoist Supreme’s future disciple?” Li Qingyun stared at her in shock, utterly stunned.

Could it be that the one who evoked the vast Qi was a young person?

The thought of this left him feeling incredulous. He had originally assumed that the person behind this was a senior who had cultivated Confucianism for many years.
