OBS Chapter 772: Disbanding the Academy? Canglong Secret Realm!
Chapter 772: Disbanding the Academy? Canglong Secret Realm!
Varied……
What? ? ?
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Although the Master was talking to himself, and his voice was even very soft, most of the people present were people with high cultivation levels, and at least most of them heard the Master's muttering clearly. However, after hearing these words, everyone seemed to be petrified, and they all froze in place, with horror on their faces.
Unbelievable!
Even the Supreme Mi Xinghe couldn't help but have his eyelids twitching wildly at this moment:
"Master, what did you just say?"
"I say, it's time to disband Taihang Academy." The teacher answered calmly.
"Disband...disband the academy?" Mi Xinghe was incredulous: "Are you...are you serious?"
"Yes, seriously."
"Why?" Mi Xinghe was puzzled.
This question expressed the thoughts of everyone.
Yes.
Why?
Taihang Academy is the best academy in the world. There is even a saying that all the great scholars in the world come to Taihang. It is a holy place in the minds of countless scholars. Although Taihang Academy is not a holy sect in the true sense, its status is no worse than any holy dynasty, and it is even better.
Such a place.
Want to disband?
Not to mention these people, even Gu Xiu found it a little unbelievable. He had seen it for ten thousand years, and although he had never kept his eyes on Taihang Academy, he could be sure of it.
Taihang Academy has never been disbanded!
Even after this master died a martyr, Taihang Academy is still the best academy in the world and still holds an unshakable status.
But now...
what happened?
"All the great scholars in the world come from Taihang. This statement may seem like a compliment to Taihang Academy, but if you think about it carefully, when such a statement begins to spread and is recognized by others, Taihang Academy has already betrayed its original intention."
"Why must a great scholar come from Taihang?"
“Why does Taihang need to be so detached?”
But I heard the teacher mumbling softly, seemingly explaining, but also like he was talking to himself.
Some people were puzzled and didn't understand the mystery, while others looked enlightened and fell into deep thought. However, more people couldn't help but fall into panic, especially the Confucian scholars who had just gone through so much trouble to finally come to Taihang Academy and finally be able to take the final entrance examination and join the academy.
Taihang Academy is the inner pillar of countless people and the meaning of their persistence.
But if...
Taihang Academy has been disbanded, so where should they go?
Fortunately.
Before the fear spread completely, the Master said with a smile:
"The Taihang Academy will indeed be disbanded, but even if one Taihang Academy is disbanded, thousands of more will emerge in the future. Scholars will not disappear because of the disbandment of the Taihang Academy. On the contrary, the number of scholars will increase because of the disbandment of the Taihang Academy."
"The righteous spirit in the world will only grow stronger."
"As for the purpose of everyone coming to Taihang Academy, it will not be affected."
"And..." Having said this, the Master looked at everyone and paused for a moment before continuing:
"The disbanding of the academy will not be completed overnight."
"At least today, the academy remains the same."
This statement is somewhat confusing.
I still don’t understand why the Master wants to disband Taihang, and I don’t understand how such a holy place in the minds of scholars will not affect scholars all over the world in the future if it is disbanded?
but……
The Master's last words were ultimately a reassurance.
It allowed everyone to suppress their inner anxiety again.
According to what the master said, at least for now the academy is still the same. Maybe it will be disbanded in the future, but at least today, not in the future.
"Ever since the great changes in the world, I have been thinking every day about how our academy should exist in this chaotic world and how to deal with it."
“I’m also considering it.”
"How should the academy's assessment for this session be conducted?"
"I've thought of many ways to assess the situation, and even had Jiuge help me deduce and think about how to conduct the next test so that it can be as fair and just as possible."
"Even earlier today, I hadn't quite made up my mind."
"But after listening to Brother Mi's explanation of cause and effect, I've confirmed my previous thoughts on disbanding the academy. I've also decided how to proceed with the next academy assessment."
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Especially the group of Confucian scholars who gathered together to join Taihang Academy.
"This time, the academy's assessment will only involve one thing."
"Choose any one of the six arts of a gentleman. Pass any six tests and you will become the last disciple of my Taihang Academy."
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned.
This……
Is it that simple?
Taihang Academy is a gathering place for scholars from all over the world. The examinations are always rigorous and difficult. Not only do you have to go through layers of screening, but the entrance examination after arriving at the academy is also extremely difficult. If those who can come to the academy are already one in a thousand, then the number of people who can actually join the academy is only one in ten thousand.
The content of the entrance examination has basically not changed. It is still based on the Six Arts of a Gentleman. But the difference is that the previous examination required them to pass the examinations of the six pavilions respectively.
If any one of the items is not met, the candidate will lose the qualification to join the college.
I never thought about it.
Now you only need to choose one of them and pass it to complete the admission assessment.
Although it's not a sure thing.
but……
The difficulty has definitely dropped dramatically.
The Master's words were not yet finished. After a brief pause, he spoke again:
"You have indeed paid a lot to join the academy, but unfortunately the academy will be disbanded, and you will be the last batch of disciples of Taihang Academy. Your time as Taihang Academy disciples will not be too long. It is reasonable for Taihang Academy to make some compensation."
"So, I plan to open the Canglong Secret Realm after you complete the assessment. Anyone who passes the assessment can choose whether to enter the Canglong Secret Realm."
"This……"
"It is the key to open the Canglong Secret Realm. This item is called the Canglong Key. With this item, not only can you open the Canglong Secret Realm, but you can also use it to gain the opportunity to open the Three Yuans Sea of Sin within the Canglong Secret Realm."
Everyone followed the teacher's instructions and looked at the stone that looked like a dragon's beard.
I couldn't help but start discussing:
"The Canglong Secret Realm, the legend is actually true, the Canglong Secret Realm actually exists, and even the key to that place is in the academy!"
"If I remember correctly, there have been rumors about the Azure Dragon Secret Realm since ancient times. It's said that before the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, left for the Immortal Realm, he used his divine power to conjure up a secret realm that benefits this world. It contains countless treasures and elixirs, and anyone who can enter it will receive endless benefits!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard of that too. In fact, there's not only the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, but there are three other secret realms that make up the Four Sacred Beast Secret Realms. It's said that discovering one of them will attract the secret realms of the other three sacred beasts!"
"What is the Three Walls Sea of Sin?"
"The Three Realms of Sin is a place that only exists in legends. It is said that before the four sacred beasts left this world, countless legendary figures remained and began to open up the Three Realms of Sin, which include Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi. If the Canglong Secret Realm is the top secret realm that countless people yearn for, then the Three Realms of Sin is a real place that even immortals would be moved by!"
"I've also heard this rumor. It's said that there are even immortals living in the Three Yuans Sea of Sin!"
"..."
One of the biggest advantages of scholars is that they often read far more than ordinary cultivators. At this moment, even Gu Xiu had never heard of the Three Yuans Sin Sea.
There was actually someone present who could say it.
Many people couldn't help but look at the Canglong Key with a bit of heat in their eyes.
This key.
Incredible!
This is a truly incredible opportunity!
Xu Wanqing over there was eagerly awaiting this thing. What she needed was to go to Taiweiyuan in the Three Yuans Sea of Sin to find a way to remove the curse of her Taixu wax heart. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask:
"Master, I wonder if people like us who come here to pay our respects are qualified to participate in the assessment?"
She didn't want to miss this great opportunity.
Fortunately.
The Master replied in the affirmative: "Of course."
As soon as these words came out.
Xu Wanqing put her heart back in her stomach.
But the Master spoke again:
"The Azure Dragon Key is not just a key, it's also a sacred artifact within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm. Holding it grants blessings within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm. Theoretically, anyone holding this Azure Dragon Key, no matter how poor, can gain something within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm."
"But there is only one Azure Dragon Key after all. It's impossible for everyone to have one."
"It just so happens that some of you will need to participate in the Six Pavilions Assessment next. In that case, the winner will be determined by the highest score."
"After the assessment begins, each of the six chambers of the academy will begin its own assessment. Everyone who passes the assessment will receive a score from that chamber. The person with the highest score among the six chambers will receive the Azure Dragon Key."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes suddenly brightened.
And after the Master turned around and left with the Canglong Key.
The scene was completely boiling.
Allowing those who pass the assessment to directly obtain the qualification to enter the Canglong Secret Realm is a great opportunity in itself, not to mention that the Canglong Key is a magic weapon that can be used in the secret realm.
"No matter what, we must get this Azure Dragon Key!"
"It's not enough to just enter the secret realm, the Azure Dragon Key is the key!"
"We must give our all in the Six Pavilion Assessment!"
"..."
Many people at the scene were determined to win.
After the Master left, many people even went straight to their companions and began to discuss how to pass the assessment, how to gain the qualification to enter the Canglong Secret Realm, and even how to obtain the Canglong Key.
This is especially true for Xu Wanqing.
She doesn't care about the Canglong Secret Realm, but since the Canglong Secret Realm involves the Sanyuan Sin Sea, she has to care about it.
anyway.
Must get this!
Just ...
While the crowd was bustling with activity, Gu Xiu couldn't help but frown. He looked in the direction where the teacher left and felt something was wrong.
in particular.
After the teacher left, a note appeared in his palm.
"See you at Zuiwenlou tomorrow at midnight."
