"Hao 'er, the fruit is about to ripen." Looking at the fruit on the ancient tree, Lin You smiled. He was handsome to begin with, and when he smiled, the ancient tree in front of him seemed to be filled with vitality.
Lin Tianhao raised his head and looked at his father in front of him. His expression was still gloomy, and he did not speak.
"You still don't understand?" Lin You turned around, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at his only son, who was also the successor he had placed his greatest hopes on. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He knew that his son's greatest weakness was his lack of foresight!
Hearing his father's words, Lin Tianhao could not help but spit out all the grievances that he had been feeling in his heart all this while.
"Father, I don't understand why you did not allow me to return to the Dao College. With your status, even if I committed such a crime, it would not be a problem for you to return to the Dao College!
"It is also because you did not allow me to return that I could not participate in the Spirit Breath Village mystic realm this time! Even that d * mned Wang Baole went, and I received news that he actually has an eight-inch Spirit Root! "Lin Tianhao said as he clenched his fists. This was the point that made him most frustrated.
Looking at Lin Tianhao, Lin You's expression was calm and indifferent. Under his gaze, Lin Tianhao's breathing quickened slightly, and he slowly lowered his head.
"Hao 'er, as the successor of the Lin Family, going to the Ethereal Dao College was just a formality for you to go through the motions. It was just for you to go through the motions. Did you really take it seriously?" Said Lin You calmly. His voice was not loud, but there was an inexplicable sense of authority that enveloped the surroundings. It made Lin Tianyou's heart tremble, and he lowered his head even more.
"How can you not forget such a small figure? Hao 'er, I am a little disappointed in you." Lin You's eyes were as calm as ever. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Tianhao began to tremble. He quickly looked up, an anxious expression on his face, as if he wanted to offer an explanation.
However, Lin You's gaze instantly turned from calm to fierce. It was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly exploded out and landed on Lin Tianhao. Lin Tianhao's explanation couldn't even come out of his mouth. Trembling, he swallowed it back down.
Seeing this, a look of disappointment appeared in the depths of Lin You's eyes that Lin Tianhao couldn't see through. Slowly, the fierceness in his eyes faded away and he looked up into the skies. After a long time, Lin You spoke softly, his voice filled with weariness and age.
"Hao 'er, this world is vast and mysterious … Within the Federation, there are the four Dao Colleges and the Senate. We keep each other in check, but we have no choice but to provide for each other … At the same time, we have the Three Moon Group, the Five Generation Sky Clan, and the two major sects eyeing us covetously. Not to mention the sea of ferocious beasts outside …
"The Three Moon Group's wealth is comparable to that of a nation's. They are unfathomable. The Five Generation Sky Clan is rumored to possess the most orthodox heritage of the ancient sword. As for the two major sects, there seems to be evidence that there are ancient sword cultivators in hibernation!
"The four Dao Colleges can choose to open themselves up and accept members of any faction, but the Senate cannot!
"And these are just the Federation. There is also the moon and other planets, as well as the seemingly endless territory on the ancient greenish-bronze sword …
"Even further away, there are some things that even I can't believe in. They are existences that I tremble like ants and can only look up to …" Lin You murmured softly. It was as if he was talking to Lin Tianhao, but also as if he was talking to himself.
"Such a vast world. Can't you see further? I hope so much that you can grow up quickly. Don't waste your energy on those insignificant people. Because of my existence, your life will be completely different. Can you … understand? "
Lin Tianhao was nervous. He was shocked by his father's words. As his mind buzzed, he vaguely felt as if he understood the meaning behind his father's words. He quickly nodded.
"Father, I … I understand now!"
"You don't understand!" Lin You shook his head. He raised his right hand and waved it. Instantly, a brilliant light erupted from his hand. In the blink of an eye, before him, appeared … eight figures!
The eight figures all had their eyes closed. They floated in mid-air, as if bound and motionless. However, their appearance caused Lin Tianhao's eyes to widen. His breathing quickened.
Out of the eight figures … seven of them were exactly the same as Lin Tianhao. Furthermore, they had Spirit Roots in their bodies. They ranged from one inch to seven inches. As for the last faceless Spirit Root, it was eight inches!
Others would have to work very hard to obtain Spiritual Roots. They would also need great opportunities to obtain them. However, Lin Tianhao had all the Spiritual Roots in front of him, from one to eight!
"You don't have to fight with others for the first half of your life. I have already prepared it for you.
"This is the difference between you and those insignificant people. Hao-er, the first half of your life has already been planned by me. Take it step by step. You … are destined to reach the peak. When you become the City Lord of Ethereal City and a new Senator, then … that will be the beginning of your struggle. This time, if you really understand, go to Ethereal Dao College's Upper Academy Island to learn."
Lin Tianhao's body trembled violently. This was the first time his father had spoken so clearly about his future. He was silent for a long time. His entire being seemed to have deepened as he spoke in a low voice.
"I understand."
At that moment, the cruiser that had returned from Spirit Breath Village had already landed at the Dao College's spaceport. As the crowd walked out, these students, who had only been Ancient Martial Arts when they left but had mostly stepped into the True Breath realm after returning, could not contain their excitement.
Especially when they noticed that the people welcoming them were teachers from all the faculties and many of their former classmates, they became even more excited. The Chancellor also understood their feelings. Hence, with a wave of his hand, he dismissed the crowd. Immediately, the True Breath students dispersed. Very quickly, the spaceport was filled with bustling noises.
There were also quite a number of people welcoming Wang Baole. Naturally, Liu Daobin and the others led the way. They were wearing inspector robes and clustered around Wang Baole. Along the way, Wang Baole returned to the Dharmic Armament faculty in high spirits.
"I, Wang Baole, am back!" After stepping onto the peak of the Dharmic Armament faculty, Wang Baole raised his head and laughed heartily.
After some small talk, Liu Daobin prepared a banquet to welcome Wang Baole back. It was not until the moon was high in the sky that the drunken Wang Baole returned to his cave abode. After sitting there and burping, Wang Baole took out a large gulp of Ice Spirit Water to sober himself up. He took out his voice transmission ring and sent a voice transmission to his parents, telling them that he was already in the True Breath realm and had been admitted to Upper Academy Island.
"Old Wang, aren't I awesome?" Wang Baole said proudly.
Very quickly, the surprised voices of Wang Baole's parents came from the voice transmission ring. After chatting with his parents for a long time, Wang Baole finally ended the voice transmission when he saw that it was getting late. He sat on the balcony of his cave abode and looked around. Feeling the silence around him, his reluctance to part grew stronger.
"Time passes so quickly. A year ago, I just entered the Dao College. Now … I'm about to enter Upper Academy Island!" Wang Baole was very emotional. However, when he thought about his gains from Spirit Breath Village, he felt even better.
"Let's not talk about the items that I handed over to the Dao College. After the Dao College records everything, they will give me a list. I can retrieve a portion of the items or exchange them for items of equivalent value … Just that blue pearl alone is enough for me to earn a lot!" Wang Baole thought about his gains, and his heart could not help but beat faster.
At that moment, his right hand reached into his pocket. When he took it out, a gray pearl appeared in his palm. This pearl was originally blue, but now it had dimmed and turned gray.
It did not look special when he held it in his hand, but Wang Baole knew its origins. His eyes burned with passion.
"If I'm not wrong, this item was formed from the long blue spear that should have disappeared by now using my devouring seed … I'm afraid there's only one of it in the entire Federation. Although I don't know how to use it now, this treasure is definitely extraordinary! "
Wang Baole studied it for a while and thought about asking the little missy in the mask. After all, if it was only the discovery of the Five Fingers Mountain, then it would be fine. However, the clues in Spirit Breath Village were also related to the mask. Wang Baole felt that he should ask her.
At that thought, Wang Baole immediately took out the Dream Pillow and entered the Dream Realm. After a while, he came out with a puzzled expression. In the Dream Realm, the mysterious little missy had remained silent. No matter how he asked, she did not give him any response.
"Not telling me?" Wang Baole rubbed his forehead. He felt that this little missy was too mischievous. He had a vague idea about the pearl. He planned to test it out when he reached Upper Academy Island.
After putting away the pearl, Wang Baole closed his eyes and recalled the battle in Spirit Breath Village and the use of Dharma artifacts. This was a habit he had developed after reading the high officials' autobiographies. He liked to summarize things.
After a while, Wang Baole opened his eyes and rubbed his chin. His eyes showed that he was deep in thought.
"Learning how to form a Spirit Tide is one of my gains. However, my Dharma artifacts are a little too monotonous. They only explode and explode … Dharma artifacts are not only used to injure and destroy enemies physically. Perhaps they can also have a greater effect on the mind!" Wang Baole was deep in thought. He thought about how Li Yi and the others looked at him when they were escorted by the puppets.
"Hmm, this is a research topic. I have to find a chance to experiment in the future and create a Dharma artifact that can affect the mind of others. It can make people feel fear when they see it and surrender without a fight! This kind of Dharma artifact might be able to defeat someone stronger than me to a certain extent! "Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He felt that he had gained a lot from this trip to Spirit Breath Village.
As he pondered, Wang Baole meditated and cultivated happily. Gradually, the sky turned bright. Just as he finished meditating, he realized that his cave abode was as crowded as a marketplace. There was an endless stream of visitors, especially the True Breath students from the Dharmic Armament faculty. They had been in a hurry on the road and did not have the time to make friends with Wang Baole. Now that they had returned, they immediately came to visit.
Such visits lasted for five days. Wang Baole only calmed down when he received the admission notice from the Chancellor of Upper Academy Island. Thus, he packed his luggage and looked at the cave abode that he had lived in for more than a year. His anticipation grew.
Soon, on the morning of the sixth day, the sound of a bell reverberated throughout Lower Academy Island. The sound of the bell spread and lasted for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. All the students, no matter what they were doing, heard it. When they walked out of their residences, they saw the True Breath figures of their respective faculties rushing toward the Chancellor's peak.
"They are going to Upper Academy Island …"
"I wonder when … we will also be able to enter Upper Academy Island!"
Liu Daobin stood in front of the Dharmic Armament faculty's residence. He vaguely recognized Wang Baole among the figures rushing toward the Chancellor's peak. He seemed normal during this period of time, but in reality, he was feeling melancholy.
"I have to work hard and not fall too far behind the Head Prefect. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up to him!"
At the peak behind him, Goatee also walked out. Similarly, he looked at the departing figure of Wang Baole. His eyes were filled with encouragement and gratification. Vaguely, he seemed to recall Wang Baole's blood-soaked figure in the dreamscape assessment more than a year ago.
On the peak of the Alchemy faculty, Zhou Xiaoya also walked out of her residence silently. She looked at the Chancellor's peak from afar. After a long while, her eyes were filled with determination and longing. She clenched her fists and muttered softly.
"Brother Baole, the elixir formula that I submitted has already been reviewed. As long as it passes the review, I will also have the possibility of entering Upper Academy Island!"
Under the gazes of countless students on Lower Academy Island, the hundreds of people who had advanced to the True Breath realm in Spirit Breath Village gathered at the Chancellor's peak. Soon, they arrived at the square of the Chancellor's peak.
They were the people who had returned from Spirit Breath Village. They were now the first batch of people who were about to enter Upper Academy Island. There was still the second batch of people who had advanced in the Dao College's mystic realm. They would be sent to Upper Academy Island one after another in the coming days.
At that moment, the hundreds of people stood in the square. There was no noise. At that moment, they all looked expectantly at the person standing in front of them … the Chancellor!
"Upper Academy Island, please open the mountain gates!" The Chancellor turned around and waved his sleeves. His voice was like thunder as it traveled into the fog-shrouded Upper Academy Island.
