The inner court was divided into three courtyards: Heaven, Earth, and Mortal. This was a tradition that had been maintained since the Royal Academy was founded. The reason why the inner court was divided into three courtyards was to encourage inner court disciples to cultivate diligently.
The distribution of resources in the inner court wasn't fair. Instead, it was distributed according to the strength of the three courtyards.
Every half a year, the three courtyards would hold a competition, and the distribution of resources would be decided through this competition. The first courtyard would receive fifty percent of the resources, the second courtyard would receive thirty percent, and the last courtyard would only receive twenty percent.
Because of this system, the competition in the inner court was extremely intense. This was also the original intention of the Royal Family when they founded the Royal Academy.
However, with the competition for the position of Crown Prince in recent years, Chu Wuming and the other two each controlled the three courtyards. As a result, the competition between the three courtyards wasn't just limited to the distribution of resources. More importantly, there was also the competition for the position of Crown Prince.
The competition became more and more intense. At the same time, there was a tradition in the Moonless Empire. Every retired emperor would basically become a principal of the Royal Academy in name. This was also a method to attract students.
Previously, Chu Qingshan and Chu Mubai had always been the principals of the Royal Academy. At that time, Chu Wuming didn't have a Dao Emperor Realm almighty behind him. As a result, the Human Courtyard he controlled quickly declined. Therefore, after the Burning Sky Ruler became the third retired emperor, Chu Wuming also urgently hoped that the Burning Sky Ruler could become the third principal of the Royal Academy.
Chu Wuming didn't hide anything and told Xiao Chen the truth. He knew very well that if he wanted to obtain Xiao Chen's help, he absolutely couldn't deceive Xiao Chen. This would only make Xiao Chen feel disgusted and even cause the two of them to break off. Therefore, Chu Wuming would tell the truth about anything that required Xiao Chen's help. This was also where Chu Wuming was smart.
After hearing Chu Wuming's explanation, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, "I'll talk to Uncle Tian about it. Anyway, he's just an honorary dean. There's nothing important. Uncle Tian should agree."
It shouldn't be difficult for the Burning Heaven Ruler to head to the Royal Academy and assume the title of Dean. After all, it wouldn't take much time. It was just a title. Moreover, after becoming the Dean of the Royal Academy, the Burning Heaven Ruler would be able to obtain some cultivation resources from the academy. Why not?
Seeing that Xiao Chen had agreed, Chu Wuming was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I will bring Brother Xiao to the Academy. Now that Chu Wuque and Chu Wuming have both gone to the Academy, we should return earlier."
The day after tomorrow would be the day when the path of Dao would open. Tomorrow, Chu Wuming would bring Xiao Chen to the Royal Academy. After hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't refuse. After settling the matter, the two of them chatted for a while before Chu Wuming stood up and left.
After sending off Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen went to the Burning Heaven Ruler's residence and told him about his appointment as the Royal Academy's Dean. After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Burning Heaven Ruler didn't refuse and readily agreed.
With the Burning Heaven Ruler's agreement, the following matters were naturally handed over to Chu Wuming to handle. Moreover, this matter shouldn't be too difficult. After all, having a Dao Emperor as the Dean was definitely a good thing for the Royal Academy. No one would stop it.
Early the next morning, Chu Wuming arrived at the Heavenly Stellar Residence early as expected and headed straight to the Royal Academy with Xiao Chen. On the way, Xiao Chen told Chu Wuming that the Burning Heaven Ruler had agreed to become the Dean. Hearing this, Chu Wuming was filled with joy.
They walked all the way to the Imperial Capital's teleportation formation. The Royal Academy wasn't built in the Imperial Capital but in a place outside the city called Moonless Mountain.
Moonless Mountain wasn't far from the Imperial Capital and could be reached in the blink of an eye through the teleportation formation. Moreover, there was more than one teleportation formation in the Imperial Capital. One of them was specially provided for the use of the Royal Academy's students. Although they had to pay a certain fee every time they used it, as long as you were a student of the Royal Academy, the fee was very, very low.
Building a teleportation formation especially for the students of the Royal Academy showed how high the status of the students of the Royal Academy was in the Moonless Empire. After all, those who were able to enter the Royal Academy were basically geniuses of the Moonless Empire. At the same time, they were the pillars of the empire's future.
After passing through the teleportation formation, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming quickly arrived at the Royal Academy. The entire academy was built at the edge of an enormous lake. The entire edge of the lake was densely packed with buildings, and this was merely the outer court.
As for the inner court, one could see that in the center of the lake, there were four small islands. The outer three islands were arranged in a triangle. These three islands were where the inner court was located, and each island was a branch of the academy. As for the island in the center, it was called Moonless Island, and it was where the various cultivation secret realms of the Royal Academy were located.
At the shore, they boarded the boats. These boats were specially used to receive the inner court students. They were driven by spirit stones and were engraved with Glyph Arrays. From the shore of the outer court to the inner court, it only took a hundred breaths of time. It was extremely convenient.
Very quickly, they boarded the Human Academy Island. This was where the Human Academy under Chu Wuming's control was located. As for the other two small islands not far from the Human Academy Island, they were the Heavenly Academy Island and the Earth Academy Island respectively. They were under the control of Chu Wuming and Chu Wushuang.
However, just as they stepped onto the small island, Wu Yun brought two students from the Human Academy Island to wait for them. Seeing Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming come ashore, Wu Yun bowed and said, "Your Highness, Young Master Xiao …"
Chu Wuming nodded slightly at Wu Yun. He took the lead and walked towards the Heavenly Academy Island while Xiao Chen followed by his side.
The Human Academy Island wasn't small, so it shouldn't be a problem for it to accommodate a few hundred thousand people. However, according to Chu Wuming, there were only a little over a thousand students on the Human Academy Island, whereas the Heavenly Academy Island and Earth Academy Island had over three thousand students.
Compared to the other two academies, the Human Academy Island was indeed much weaker. It wasn't just in terms of numbers, it was the same in terms of strength as well. There weren't any outstanding geniuses on the Human Academy Island, and it was precisely because of Chu Wuming's weakness that the Human Academy Island had withered away.
After all, there weren't any Dao Emperors holding down the fort, so very few outer court students would choose to join the Human Academy Island when they were promoted to the inner court. This caused the number of students on the Human Academy Island to decrease.
When they arrived at the center of the Human Academy Island, an ancient hall appeared before Xiao Chen. This was the center of the entire Human Academy Island, and it was also the location of the Enforcement Hall that managed the Human Academy Island.
Apart from the students, there were a total of 148 teachers and 10 elders on the Human Academy Island.
The 148 teachers were all existences at the Dao Transformation Realm, and the 10 elders were all experts at the Dao King Realm. Above the 10 elders, there was a Branch Dean and two Deans. All three of them were extraordinary experts at the Dao Sovereign Realm, and Du Chengfeng was currently the Branch Dean of the Human Academy Island.
