Unknowingly, ten days of such torturous days had passed.
In these ten days, Lin Tianhao and Cao Kun's purge of the Spirit Stones Hall continued in the Dharmic Armament faculty. Even more people were implicated. However, due to the large number of people involved and the commotion caused, they needed time to gather evidence. Therefore, these people were only grounded for investigation and had not been dealt with seriously.
However, everyone could see that this was just a matter of time. If there were no accidents, these people would definitely be punished to varying degrees.
As for Wang Baole, he did not leave the cave abode during these ten days. At most, he would leave the Dream Realm to eat something. Then, he would grit his teeth and enter again while trembling with grief and indignation.
"Heavens, when will this be the end …" Wang Baole felt hopeless when he thought of the horror of being familiar with mental arithmetic formulas. However, when he thought of his responsibilities and goals, he could only grit his teeth and continue to endure the torment as he roared.
Under the constant lightning strikes, Wang Baole's ability to calculate formulas improved by leaps and bounds. Although he was still struck by lightning, his mental arithmetic time rapidly decreased as he cried out in pain.
All of this was forced out of him. That was especially so as the lightning grew stronger and stronger. The excruciating pain forced Wang Baole to go crazy and unleash all of his potential. He was very worried that if he did not work hard, he would really be struck to death.
At this moment, as long as the inscription arrangement was not too complicated, he could give the answer in a few breaths' time. However, it was obvious that Mask was not satisfied with all of this. Therefore, it gave Wang Baole less time to calculate. At the same time, it listed the number of inscriptions and their difficulty.
As a result, Wang Baole's screams became more and more tragic.
Another ten days passed. Wang Baole was completely bewitched. If not for the Chancellor's voice transmission that made him pause his cultivation in the Dream Realm, he would have forgotten the passage of time.
The Head Prefects of the various faculties in Ethereal Dao College's Lower Academy Island were known as the Chancellor's disciples because they would be summoned by the Chancellor every once in a while. The Chancellor would open the Chancellor's Lecture Hall and give them private lessons to answer and explain the questions posed by the Head Prefects. It was necessary for the Head Prefects to attend such events.
In the entire Lower Academy Island, only the Chancellor could do this. He might not know the curriculum and knowledge of all the faculties on the Lower Academy Island like the back of his hand, but he had done his research on them. That was why he could guide every Head Prefect. Occasionally, he would even invite cultivators from the Upper Academy to guide the Head Prefects.
Now that the monastery head's lecture was about to begin, Wang Baole had been summoned.
Within the immortal's cave, Wang Baole emerged from the dreamscape. His entire body had been electrocuted countless times, and he was trembling as he walked. His mood was dispirited, and his hair was disheveled. His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he were performing some sort of deduction. Even after emerging from the dreamscape, he was still mumbling to himself.
"In order to form the Speed Inscriptions, I need to calculate the combination of 731 basic Inscriptions and go through nine formula deductions …
"There are 3185 ways to condense Spirit Qi Inscriptions. The first formula is …"
Immersed in the sea of formulas in his mind, Wang Baole staggered out of the immortal's cave. Along the way, he spent eighty percent of his energy on deducing formulas and only twenty percent on walking. Just like that, all the students who saw Wang Baole along the way were stunned when they noticed Wang Baole's state.
"What's … going on with Wang Baole?"
"Why do I feel like he's lost his mind? Look, what's he mumbling about?"
"That's not right. Could it be that he's gone crazy because he's a mere figurehead?" The people of the Dharmic Armament faculty were discussing softly. Wang Baole did not pay attention to his surroundings. At that moment, he was deducing the sea of formulas in his mind as he arrived at the Chancellor's Peak.
This was the first time he had come to the Chancellor's Peak. If it had been in the past, Wang Baole would definitely have paid more attention to it. However, his mind was in a daze now, so he forced himself to walk up the peak and to the Chancellor's Pavilion.
As he had been deducing along the way, Wang Baole was the last person to arrive, even though he was not late. The moment he entered the hall, he saw that all the faculties' Head Prefects were seated around him. Zheng Liang, Cao Kun, and Lin Tianhao were all present.
Noise was not allowed in the Chancellor's Lecture Hall, so Zheng Liang nodded with concern in his eyes. Cao Kun smiled disdainfully. As for Lin Tianhao, a cold glint flashed across his eyes before he ignored Wang Baole.
The other Head Prefects were also paying attention to Wang Baole. After all, Wang Baole had risen to fame not too long ago. Even though he had lost his influence, he was still considered an influential figure.
However, after sizing him up, they were somewhat disappointed. After all, Wang Baole's current state made them misunderstand that he had given up on himself.
In front of them, the old physician was sitting on a futon. His eyes were originally closed, but when he sensed Wang Baole's arrival, he opened his eyes to take a look. Noticing Wang Baole's dispirited appearance, the old physician was surprised.
Wang Baole forced himself to be alert and bowed to the old physician before finding a place to sit down. He already knew the old physician's identity. After all, it was not a secret. As for the thoughts of the people around him, he did not have the energy to care.
After sitting down, he once again immersed himself in the sea of formulas in his mind. This had already become an instinct of his. After being struck by lightning for more than twenty days, Wang Baole was already terrified. He was afraid that if he delayed his derivation, he would not be able to solve the formulas in an instant and be electrocuted again.
Seeing Wang Baole's dispirited state, the old physician shook his head silently. He retracted his gaze and began the lecture. From the Mechanics faculty, Alchemy faculty, Ancient Martial Arts faculty, Dharmic Armament faculty, and even Array Runes faculty and Dao Enlightenment faculty, all the faculties of the Lower Academy Island were mentioned by the old physician in this lecture.
"From what I see, each faculty has their own similarities. For example, the Mechanics faculty and Dharmic Armament faculty both focus on the refinement of items. However, the Array Runes faculty cannot do without the Inscriptions faculty. For example, the Inscriptions method is similar to Array Runes …
"Even the Combat faculty does not only cultivate the body. In the future, if you are able to enter the Upper Academy Island, you will understand that the Great Dao is difficult. You will need to cooperate and support each other in order to go further on the path of cultivation.
"As for the Dao Enlightenment faculty, do not give up on yourselves. Now, the entire Federation has a common understanding regarding the Dao Enlightenment faculty. The Dao Enlightenment method is the only way to pursue the Great Dao in the future!"
The old physician's eloquence made everyone unable to feel the passage of time. Every new piece of knowledge seemed to be at his fingertips. At times, it was detailed, and at other times, it was directly to the point in one or two sentences. Even though the surrounding Academy Heads were the cream of the crop in their respective faculties, they still learned a lot.
After all, to be able to become the Chancellor of the Lower Academy Island, there was naturally something extraordinary about him. There were even rumors that the old physician was once a famous figure even on the Upper Academy Island.
However, because he was old, he had come to the Lower Academy Island to be in charge of nurturing the seeds of Ethereal Dao College who could enter the Upper Academy Island.
This time, the lecture went on for several hours. When dusk was about to arrive, the old physician took a sip of tea before stopping. Even though he had lectured for an entire day, there was no sign of fatigue on his body. After putting down the teacup, the old physician smiled and swept his gaze across the surrounding Academy Heads.
"Today's lecture will end here. Do any of you have any questions?"
The moment the old physician spoke, the surrounding Academy Heads all raised their heads. A Dao Enlightenment faculty Head Prefect was the first to ask a question.
"Chancellor, you previously said that the Dao Enlightenment faculty is the only way to reach the Great Dao, and the path of Dao enlightenment leads directly to the source. Then, what is the source?"
Regarding this question, the surrounding Academy Heads all pondered seriously. In reality, the Dao Enlightenment faculty had a special status in Ethereal Dao College. The students of this faculty did not have formal classes and spent most of their time comprehending the Heavens and Earth. The way to become a Dao Enlightenment faculty Head Prefect was also related to the comprehension thesis written every month.
In reality, if not for the fact that the previous President of the Federation was from the Dao Enlightenment faculty, which proved that once the Dao Enlightenment faculty succeeded, it would immediately shock the world, and this faculty would have long been abolished.
Hearing this, the old physician smiled slightly. After stroking his beard, he spoke lightly.
"With my cultivation and knowledge, it is difficult for me to truly explore the source of the Heavens and Earth. However, there was an introduction in the Sword Sun fragment. All things in the Heavens and Earth are the source of the Heavens and Earth! There are tens of thousands of methods of the Heavens and Earth, and by obtaining one of them, one can walk above the Heavens! "
The Dao Enlightenment faculty Head Prefect seemed to be deep in thought. After nodding, he did not ask any more questions. Very quickly, the other faculties' Head Prefects also asked various questions one after another. The old physician's answers to each question were very calm. Some could directly resolve the confusion, while others made people ponder deeply after answering.
Very quickly, when everyone was almost done with their questions, Wang Baole also raised his head and forced himself to focus. He also had questions that he needed answers to. During this period of time, he had encountered many puzzles regarding Inscriptions that he could solve but could not fully understand while he was solving formulas.
"Chancellor, your disciple has a question regarding Inscriptions."
"There are hundreds to thousands of types of Inscriptions that condense Spirit Qi. The purpose of each type is to condense Spirit Qi, but why are there so many types, and what is the point?"
After Wang Baole spoke, without waiting for the old physician to speak, the Inscriptions Head Prefect Cao Kun laughed and stood up, bowing to the old physician.
"Chancellor, such a simple question can be answered by any student who has attended a few classes in the Inscriptions Hall. Chancellor, please allow me to answer Junior Baole."
