The surrounding teachers and students of the various faculties didn't question the way the sect master handled the matter. Even in their hearts, they didn't have the slightest bit of such thoughts. They were really … convinced.
Wang Baole had been in Ethereal Dao College for more than a year. From the first day until now, he had performed one legendary feat after another.
Regardless of whether it was the Dreamscape assessment, consecutively becoming the three-roll Head Prefect, or reorganizing the Dharmic Armament faculty's College Discipline Department, everything had caused Wang Baole's halo to accumulate layer by layer and reach the limelight.
Needless to say, he had expelled Lin Tianhao and the others from the school, created a large number of puppets, and fought a huge battle with the Dao Enlightenment faculty. Then, in the Dao College's competition, he had fought a new battle with Zhao Yameng.
If all of this was still at the level of students, then the battle just now, where he had beaten up the True Breath Vice-Chancellor as an Ancient Martial Realm cultivator, was enough to shock everyone. The importance of Wang Baole had once again increased greatly.
Although in this battle, Wang Baole had taken advantage of the advantages of the Dharmic Armament faculty and used some tricks, but … he was the Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty. This was one of his strengths. If he did not use it, then his one year of study would have been in vain.
No matter what, even if the battle had been stopped before the outcome could be determined, Wang Baole's strength had already left a deep impression on everyone.
"Today's matter, no one here is allowed to speak of it! Violators will be expelled from the school! " The Chancellor had directly issued a gag order. Even before Wang Baole and the Vice-Chancellor had fought, the Chancellor had already cut off the surrounding Spirit Intranet so that the people here could not connect to the outside world.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the battle between Wang Baole and the Vice-Chancellor had been restricted to the Chancellor's peak. At that moment, it had not been spread. Now that there was a gag order, the surrounding people knew their limits and immediately nodded their heads. As for the people outside, even if they heard some commotion, they did not know the details.
Even Gao Quan did not dare to go against the Chancellor's clear instructions. Especially the Chancellor's words. Even if it was more to protect Wang Baole, Gao Quan did not feel repulsed by it. It was just that … he did not want this matter to spread.
Just like that, this battle that was enough to shock the entire Dao College, and even the other three Dao Colleges, was forcefully suppressed by the Chancellor.
Then, the Chancellor dismissed the crowd and glared at Wang Baole.
"Come with me!" As he said that, the Chancellor turned and walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his back. Wang Baole rubbed his nose and said "yes" softly. He lowered his head and followed behind with a very obedient look. It was as if if the Chancellor had any luggage, he would immediately go up and help carry it.
Seeing Wang Baole's actions, the surrounding people's expressions changed. Gao Quan gritted his teeth and secretly cursed Wang Baole for being a lackey. While feeling depressed, he also felt a deep sense of anxiety. It was simply unbelievable. Wang Baole's strength was beyond his imagination.
"I have to hurry up and transfer him away. This Wang Baole … damn it, if I knew that his temper was so bad that he even dared to beat me up, I would not have provoked him!" As Gao Quan left, the Chancellor's peak gradually quietened down. Not long after, the Chancellor returned to the main hall and turned to look at Wang Baole who was following behind him.
Being stared at by the Chancellor, Wang Baole could still put up a strong front at first, but gradually, his heart began to pound. Hence, his expression became even more obedient as he lowered his head.
"Chancellor, I really know that I was wrong …"
"Wang Baole, I know that you must have your own secrets and opportunities. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an Ancient Martial Arts practitioner to battle with a True Breath practitioner!"
The moment these words entered Wang Baole's ears, Wang Baole's lowered head and eyes immediately shrank. Just as he was about to speak, the Chancellor waved his hand.
"You don't have to make up some excuses to tell me. Your opportunities belong to you. I will not be tempted, and the Dao College will not be greedy. This is the fundamental principle of the four Dao Colleges, and also the difference between us and the Parliament and the other powers!"
"I only have one request for you …" The Chancellor's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Wang Baole.
"This time, in the mystic area trial of the four Dao Colleges, you must accumulate your Spirit Roots to seven inches, then fight for an eight-inch Spirit Root. Finally, with an eight-inch Spirit Root, you will reach the True Breath realm and enter Upper Academy Island!" The Chancellor's expression was very serious when he said the last sentence, and his eyes were filled with intense anticipation.
Wang Baole's heart trembled. Although he was young, he was familiar with the high officials' autobiographies and understood the principle of "treasuring a jade ring will arouse the envy of others." Hence, he did not use his devouring seed in the battle just now. In reality, when he decided to battle with the Vice-Chancellor, he had already thought of how to explain his combat abilities.
But he did not expect the Chancellor's attitude to be like this … Wang Baole could tell that the Chancellor's words did not seem to be false, and this was also in line with his judgment of the Dao College. While he was moved, he also heard the Chancellor's request. Wang Baole took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.
"Chancellor, I will definitely work hard!"
Hearing Wang Baole's promise, the Chancellor revealed a satisfied expression. After sitting at the side, he looked at Wang Baole again.
"Baole, have you studied the information in the jade slip that I showed you previously? Tell me, what is a Spirit Root? "
Wang Baole spoke immediately without hesitation.
"Chancellor, the Spirit Root is the True Breath. Once the True Breath is in the body, the True Breath can transform into a Spirit Root similar to a meridian and completely merge with the body. There are also differences between the True Breath realms, and this difference is mainly reflected in the length of the Spirit Root. The longer the Spirit Root, the greater the advantage in the True Breath realm, regardless of whether it is cultivation or casting spells!
"Until now, the limit of the human body is the eight-inch Spirit Root!"
Wang Baole spoke very quickly, and his train of thought was very clear. After listening to him, the Chancellor nodded, understanding that Wang Baole had done his research. Hence, after pondering for a while, he spoke slowly.
"Baole, you should know the origin of the True Breath. It was contained in the fragments that fell with the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword … and the reason why Ethereal Dao College could become a member of the alliance of the four major Dao Colleges was that 38 years ago, Ethereal Dao College paid a huge price to obtain some fragments!
"The cultivation techniques, information, and information recorded in these fragments are the foundation of Ethereal Dao College. At the same time, the True Breath contained in them is the key to forming Ethereal Dao College's own mystic realm!
"But Ethereal Dao College's mystic realm is only prepared for ordinary students, because the fragments are relatively small. True Breath fragments that exceed six inches are even rarer …" At this point, the Chancellor glanced at Wang Baole.
"Baole, do you know where the largest fragment that has been discovered so far is …"
Wang Baole immediately sensed that the Chancellor was about to reveal some secrets to him, so he put on an expression of listening attentively.
"The largest fragment has been collectively named by the various factions as Spirit Breath Village!
"Its location is in the southwest of the Federation, in a boundless desert. Its size … is comparable to half of Ethereal City!" The Chancellor's voice reverberated, and his eyes shone with a strange light.
"It's that big?!" Wang Baole's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath.
"In the beginning, there were many life-and-death battles between the various factions surrounding this fragment. Regardless of whether it was the Three Moon Group, which claimed to have the most resources, or the two major sects that yearned for the ancient times, the Galactic Dusk Sect and the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, or the Five Generation Sky Clan with a legacy of more than a thousand years, or the Federation's Senate, they all engaged in a frenzied battle with our four major Dao Colleges!
"In the end, it was still taken down by our four major Dao Colleges. However, this fragment was too big, and there was a strange magnetic field around it, so it could not be moved. It could only be left where it was. But from the day we obtained it, the four major Dao Colleges have been in control of it, and no one has been able to take it away!
"And the place you are going to next … is Spirit Breath Village!" There was a sense of pride in the Chancellor's expression.
Wang Baole was also shocked. This information was not in the information provided by the Chancellor, and this was the first time he had heard of it. At the same time, although he knew that the Dao Colleges were very strong, it was only now that he had a deeper understanding of the Dao Colleges' strength.
The Chancellor paused for a moment to allow Wang Baole to digest what he had just said before continuing, "Spirit Breath Village has a rich reserve of True Breath Spirit Roots, but because of the strange magnetic field it contains, these True Breath Spirit Roots are unable to spread outwards. At the same time … it is also very difficult for outsiders to enter. Only once every few years will there be a natural period of weakness!"
"During this period, people can enter. But even during this period of weakness, there is still a repulsive force that suppresses all those who have reached the True Breath realm. Therefore, those who have reached the True Breath realm cannot enter. Even those who have reached the True Breath realm will still be expelled. However, according to the different Spirit Roots, they can stay for a period of time. At most, they can stay for about five minutes.
"It is also because of this that the battle back then was carried out outside. Therefore, the inside is very well-preserved.
"So … every time the mystic realm opens, it is actually an exploration by the four Dao Colleges. The students who are arranged to enter not only have to obtain True Breath, but also have the responsibility to gather cultivation techniques, Dharmic treasures, materials, and all the information in the mystic realm for their respective Dao Colleges." As the Chancellor spoke, he looked at Wang Baole again. His eyes were deep and filled with anticipation.
"After you have attained the eight-inch Spirit Root, you can stay for five minutes. You have to do your best to find more valuable items for the Dao Colleges!"
Wang Baole took a deep breath when he heard this. He was not too surprised. It was understandable that the Dao Colleges would open such a mystic realm with such exchanges and missions. Therefore, he nodded solemnly. However, there was another question in his heart that he could not understand. Therefore, he looked at the Chancellor and asked.
"Chancellor, True Breath is the Spirit Root, and True Breath comes from the fragment of the sword. But … how did True Breath appear? Why can it allow mortals to become cultivators after obtaining it?"
Hearing Wang Baole's question, the Chancellor fell silent. Wang Baole did not rush him and waited silently. After a while, the Chancellor raised his head. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the roof of the main hall and see the Sword Sun in the sky. His voice was much hoarser and seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"You are not the only one who has this question. Back then, I had the same question. In fact, every cultivator had the same confusion. Until a few years ago … the previous President of the Federation, who is the only Grand Supreme Elder of the Ethereal Dao College, had a guess while he was comprehending the Dao while facing the Sword Sun.
