Academies had never appeared in the Sword Spirit Realm. There were only sects in the Sword Spirit Realm, there were no academies. In the territories controlled by sects, there were only branches and clans, there were no academies. Therefore, this was the first time that academies appeared in the Sword Spirit Realm. This made the people in the cities very curious. They wanted to know what academies were.
Before long, they knew what academies were for. Academies were places for people to learn. You can learn cultivation methods, the simplest martial skills, the simplest spells, and some knowledge about herbs. These things were something that commoners couldn't see in the past.
When the commoners heard that the academies were opened by the Sea Exploration Sect, any child could study in the academy. The academy would also test the children. If the child's talent was good, then they could directly enter the sect. Even if the child's talent wasn't good, after studying in the academy, they could still find a good job in the city.
Even if they didn't want to stay in the city, they could still go back to their homes. If they went to the countryside and learned some cultivation methods and spells, then it would be very helpful for their future.
In the Sword Spirit Realm, there weren't any parents who didn't want their children to become cultivators. Therefore, when the academies opened and the people in the city heard about it, all the parents sent their children to the academies.
Then the Sea Exploration Sect sent a message through the branches. In the future, the disciples of the Sea Exploration Sect would be selected from the academies. When this news came out, even the clans couldn't sit still.
Every developed clan could recommend a few disciples to the Sea Exploration Sect every year. However, the number of disciples they could recommend was limited. In other words, there was a limit to the number of disciples a clan could recommend to the Sea Exploration Sect. For example, a clan could recommend five or less depending on the strength of the clan.
However, it was impossible for a clan to only have five disciples. However, only five disciples could enter the Sea Exploring School. For a clan, these five spots were very precious.
Of course, in general, these five spots would be given to the talented disciples of the family first. Because if your talent wasn't good, then even if you had a high status in the family, you wouldn't be able to develop much once you enter the sect. If you did well in the sect, then you would only be able to return to the family with your tail between your legs. On the contrary, if your talent was good, then even if you didn't have a high status in the family, you would still be able to develop in the sect. If you became an inner disciple or a core disciple of the sect, then you would be able to help the family and the family would be able to perform better.
Therefore, in the past, other than the few people recommended to the sect, the rest of the disciples could only stay in the family. Even if they were talented, their final achievements would not be too high.
Now that there was an academy, they could enter the academy to study. As long as they performed well in the academy, they could still enter the sect. This was a good way out for the disciples of the major clans.
Because of this, the major clans attached great importance to this matter. Therefore, the establishment of the academy not only received the support of the commoners, but also the support of the clans.
In this way, the academy was established in a very short time. The teachers of the academy were directly sent from the sect. These teachers were all old disciples who didn't have good talent in cultivation. Their potential for development in the sect wasn't great, so they were sent to the academy to be teachers. Their annual remuneration was given to them by the sect according to their original standards. It could be said that the treatment was very good.
After the academy was established, it didn't take long for the academy to be filled with students of all ages. This time, there was a limit to the number of disciples that the sect could recruit. The youngest couldn't be younger than seven years old, while the oldest couldn't be older than twelve years old. Only those in the middle could be recruited into the academy and become a disciple of the school.
Even so, the academies that Zhao Hai and the others established in the cities were also filled with disciples in a very short time. Originally, Zhao Hai thought that it would be good if each academy could recruit 500 disciples. Therefore, when Zhao Hai and the others first established the academy, they planned to recruit 500 disciples. However, they didn't expect that the academies would be too small. When the academies started to recruit disciples, they recruited more than a thousand people. Moreover, many of them were too far away and couldn't make it in time. This was really amazing.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but order the expansion of the academies. Later on, Zhao Hai understood why the academies were built so small. It was because he underestimated the attraction of Cultivators to the ordinary people of the Sword Spirit Boundary.
Although the ordinary people of the Sword Spirit Boundary were protected and lived a good life, as long as they were human, they would have pursuits. Seeing Cultivators being able to summon the wind and summon the rain, as well as flying in the sky, made the ordinary people very envious. Moreover, the status of Cultivators was much higher than ordinary people.
Ordinary people, unless they were very talented, they would be lucky enough to join a Great Sect. Otherwise, they could only be Rogue Cultivators. As for those who didn't want to take risks, or those who didn't have the courage to take risks, they could only be ordinary people, looking at the Cultivators with envy every day.
Now that they finally had a chance to change their fate, how could they give it up? Therefore, when these people heard about the establishment of academies, they all sent their disciples to the academies. This made the academies overcrowded.
However, Zhao Hai was still very happy about this situation. One must know that it didn't take a lot of effort to maintain these academies. The academies could provide accommodation and food for the students, but aside from these, they couldn't provide anything else. There were no pills, so if the students wanted to learn cultivation methods, they could only copy them themselves. Zhao Hai said that they would provide everything for free.
It can be said that the expenses of an academy weren't small. But compared to the Sea Exploring Sect, the expenses of maintaining these academies were just a small part of their many expenses. It was nothing at all.
With the establishment of the academies, good news immediately came. A lot of Heaven Genius Disciples were found in the academies. These Heaven Genius Disciples were very good in certain aspects. As long as they were nurtured, their future achievements would definitely be limitless.
This discovery made Zhao Hai very happy. It also made the people of the Sea Exploring Sect very happy. In the beginning, the people of the Sea Exploring Sect thought that Zhao Hai's training method wouldn't have any effect. It was just a waste of resources. However, nobody dared to say anything. After all, Zhao Hai's prestige in the sect was too high. They didn't dare to say anything.
However, when the news of the academies spread, everyone was shocked. They didn't think that the academies would actually find geniuses. This really surprised them.
However, the people of the Sea Exploring Sect didn't realize that there was another benefit to establishing the academies, and that was the hearts of the people. After the academies were established, the cities where the academies were established became very loyal to the Sea Exploring Sect. Some people even engraved a sign of the Sea Exploring Sect in their homes and worshipped it three times a day. They didn't allow others to say anything bad about the Sea Exploring Sect. It can be said that after the academies were established, the Sea Exploring Sect immediately received the hearts of the people in these cities. In the future, these cities would unconditionally support the Sea Exploring Sect.
The success of the academies also gave the people of the Sea Exploring Sect some information. They began to think about whether they could establish academies in other cities.
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly noticed that some disciples were being attacked in some cities. These cities were relatively remote, and the disciples who were attacked didn't suffer any injuries.
However, this was a signal that the Demon Sword Sect might make a move against them. Zhao Hai immediately strengthened the defenses of the Sea Exploring Sect. The Great Formation of the Sea Exploring Sect was also activated. Through the Great Formation, Zhao Hai could lock on to any person in any city within the range of the Sea Exploring Sect.
After that, Zhao Hai immediately sent some of the Sect's experts to each city. When the disciples of each city act, they must act as a group, absolutely not allowed to act alone.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also sent an army to investigate the cities within the range of the Sea Exploring Sect. The main purpose was to find out who were the new faces.
At this time, the transformed cities showed extraordinary reaction speed. Some of the new faces in the cities were found in less than a day. Many of the new faces in the cities were cultivators from the Demon Realm. They were specifically sent to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect.
However, these cultivators were all captured by the people of the Sea Exploring Sect. Some of them were even killed on the spot. Therefore, the cities were safe. Through this matter, the people of the Sea Exploring Sect knew how important the transformation of these cities was. If it weren't for the information provided by the ordinary people, they wouldn't have been able to capture those people in such a short time. It can be said that this was all thanks to the help of the ordinary people.
Later, news came back one after another from other cities. They had more or less found the figures of the Devil Sect cultivators. Some were directly killed by them, while some ran away.
After Zhao Hai's operation was over, the Sea Exploring Sect was temporarily safe. However, Zhao Hai also knew that this was only temporary. The people of the Demon Sword Sect absolutely wouldn't let them go.
Sure enough, Zhao Hai guessed right. The people of the Demon Sword Sect really didn't intend to let them go. However, the people of the Demon Sword Sect changed their target this time. They didn't want to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect anymore. After so many confrontations with the Sea Exploring Sect, they knew that the Sea Exploring Sect wasn't easy to deal with. This time, they changed their target to the Sword Cultivator Alliance.
A few days after the Sea Exploration Sect was attacked and the cultivators of the Devil Sect were chased out, the various sects of the Sword Cultivator Alliance started to spread the news that their disciples had been attacked and that many of them had been injured or killed.
Zhao Hai immediately informed them that this might be the revenge of the Demon Sword Sect. He told them to be careful. Zhao Hai even proposed that if they needed, Zhao Hai could send the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples to help them deal with the Demon Sword Sect.
But after hearing Zhao Hai's proposal, the people of the Sword Cultivator Alliance immediately refused Zhao Hai's proposal. Naturally, their refusal was very tactful. They only said that they could deal with it for now. If they couldn't, then they would ask the Sea Exploring Sect for help.
When Zhao Hai heard their reply, he didn't say anything and just nodded. These people's reply was within his expectations. They still didn't trust the Sea Exploring Sect. Moreover, the Sea Exploring Sect was much stronger than them. They were afraid that they would be swallowed by the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, it was impossible for them to ask the Sea Exploring Sect to help them.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't rush to help them. If they didn't agree, then so be it. He wouldn't force them. This was because he knew that the more he forced them, the more they would think that he wanted to do something to them. This would only push them further away. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. He believed that without his help, the people of the Demon Sword Sect wouldn't let the Sword Cultivator Alliance off. When the time comes, the Demon Sword Sect would go all out to deal with them. This was because in the eyes of the Demon Sword Sect, these people were traitors. If there was an opportunity to deal with them, then the Demon Sword Sect wouldn't give it up.
At that time, these sword cultivator sects would know that they couldn't deal with them. When the time comes, they would ask Zhao Hai for help. At that time, the initiative would be on Zhao Hai's side.
As Zhao Hai expected, the people of the Demon Sword Sect didn't let go of this opportunity. They increased their attacks on the sword cultivator sects. In a short time, the sword cultivator sects suffered countless casualties. This made the sword cultivator sects feel the seriousness of the matter. However, they still didn't ask the Sea Exploring Sect for help. Instead, they joined forces and formed an alliance to kill the Demon Sword Cultivators.
This was because the Demon Sect cultivators did not launch a large-scale attack this time. All they could do was mount a sneak attack. Therefore, in the eyes of the sword cultivator sects, as long as they formed an alliance to strangle the Demon Sect cultivators, the Demon Sect cultivators would definitely fail.
However, the sword cultivator sects clearly underestimated the cunning of the Demon Sword Cultivators. The Demon Sword Cultivators seemed to know their movements. They were always one step ahead of them, dodging their attacks and then attacking the lone cultivators of the sword cultivator sects. For a while, the two sides were in a deadlock.
At this time, people with discerning eyes knew that there were spies of the Demon Sword Cultivator Alliance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for their actions to be always one step ahead of others. Moreover, the position of this spy wasn't low.
In order to deal with the Demon Sword Sect better, the people of the Sword Cultivator Alliance had no choice but to carry out an internal investigation to find the spy. However, the result wasn't ideal because they couldn't find the spy at all.
