There were many cultivators in Dali Academy, but at this moment, it was rather quiet. Most people's eyes were on the Imperial Advisor and Di Hao.
No one had expected such a scene. The disciples of Dali Academy were in low spirits. After all, they had failed miserably in this Seeking the Way.
Although he had won the first battle against the lower-level Archmages, Seven Sins had come out afterward and said as if that battle was just a lesson for Kuang Xiao. He had defeated Zuo Zong with the Sword of Kasyapa. Next, Di Hao had defeated Dong Chen and wanted to become the disciple of Dali Academy's College Chief, the Imperial Advisor of Dali.
Under these circumstances, the disciples of Dali Academy were naturally embarrassed.
However, the fact that Di Hao wanted to be his disciple made everyone realize that even if the Dali Academy that the Imperial Advisor had created had been defeated, he was still an unparalleled figure in Dali below Emperor Li. Otherwise, King Tiandao would not have allowed his adopted son Di Hao to be his disciple.
No matter what their motives were, at the very least, this was an acknowledgement of the Imperial Tutor's strength and status.
The Imperial Advisor looked at Di Hao and asked, "You wish to become my disciple. Why do you seek the Dao?"
Di Hao raised his head and stared at the Imperial Advisor. His adoptive father, King Tiandao, had once told him that the Imperial Advisor of Dali was someone he regarded as an opponent. But at the same time, he respected the Imperial Advisor very much. This was a mutual understanding between the top figures of Dali. Therefore, he had asked him to become the Imperial Advisor's disciple and learn from him, seeking the Way and cultivating.
That was why he had come. That was why today's battle had taken place.
"Dominating the battlefield, determining victory from a thousand miles away. You can protect the safety of the Dali Dynasty from within, and sweep across the Eight Wastelands and bring prosperity to the Dali Dynasty." All the people of Daoli Mountain needed to undergo trials in the army. His belief was naturally the belief of the army. He wanted to conquer the world, sweep through the Eight Barrens, and plunder the resources of the Great Path.
"Yes." The Imperial Advisor of Dali nodded gently and withdrew his gaze. Di Hao felt a lot more relaxed at that moment. When the Imperial Advisor looked at him, he actually felt an invisible pressure. Under this pressure, if he spoke insincerely, the Imperial Advisor would be able to sense it.
As for whether the Imperial Preceptor was satisfied with his words, he did not know. With the Imperial Preceptor's cultivation, he could see through him, but of course, he could not see through the Imperial Preceptor's thoughts.
"Dong Chen," the Imperial Preceptor shouted. Dong Chen walked out and said, "Dean."
The Imperial Advisor was also the College Chief of Dali Academy, and he cultivated at Dali Academy, so there was nothing wrong with calling him College Chief.
"Raise your head." Dong Chen raised his head. At this moment, just like Di Hao, he felt an invisible presence. That pair of deep and wise eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his eyes and see through his thoughts. Even though he did not deliberately oppress him with pressure, he still felt very pressured.
He had cultivated to the peak of the Saint Plane. If he wanted to, his every move would be like the might of heaven to him.
"What about you? Why do you seek the dao?" Imperial Preceptor asked.
Hearing the Imperial Advisor's question, the disciples of Dali Academy had a glimmer of hope. The Imperial Advisor's acceptance of a personal disciple was not just based on talent and strength. Perhaps there was hope for Dong Chen.
"I seek the path for knowledge. I want to see the scenery at a higher place. Similarly, I wish to be like the Imperial Advisor, to preach in the Great Li Dynasty and strengthen the cultivation world of the Great Li Dynasty." Dong Chen bowed and said. The disciples of Dali Academy looked up to the Imperial Advisor as their idol, and they worshipped him greatly. Even though Dong Chen was now the first among the younger generation of Dali Academy, his admiration for the Imperial Advisor was no less than anyone else's.
Therefore, Dong Chen's goal was actually everything that the Imperial Advisor was doing now. He wanted to become a figure like the Imperial Advisor of Dali, using him as a benchmark.
"Hmm." The Imperial Advisor still nodded. Like Di Hao, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, and no one knew who he was leaning toward.
Many people were a little uncertain. The Imperial Advisor turned his eyes to the crowd, and then his eyes fell on Ye Futian. He said, "Seventh Swordsman, Lu Chuan praised you greatly, and Sword Mountain came for you. Why do you seek swordsmanship?"
Hearing the Imperial Advisor's words, everyone showed a strange look. The Imperial Advisor was actually asking about Seventh Swordsman.
Could it be that the Imperial Advisor also considered Seventh Swordsman?
Ye Futian looked up at the Imperial Advisor of Dali, and then took a step forward. The Imperial Advisor's eyes fell on him, and suddenly he had the same feeling as Di Hao and Dong Chen.
"Imperial Advisor, I seek swordsmanship to pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship," Ye Futian responded. He avoided the Imperial Advisor's eyes, bowed his head, and said.
The Imperial Advisor still looked at him and said calmly, "Look up at me. You seek the path only for swordsmanship?"
It was as if he knew that Ye Futian was not telling the truth.
Ye Futian could only look up and look into the Imperial Advisor's eyes. He had a feeling that if he said anything against his will, the Imperial Advisor would see through him.
At this moment, Ye Futian thought of his own cultivation. Not to mention swordsmanship, why did he seek the path?
The incident of Donghai, the storm of Nandou, the storm of Eastern Barren College, and the catastrophe of Barren State.
Thinking of this, Ye Futian's heart was as still as water. He stared at the Imperial Advisor and said, "I was often bullied when I was young, so I wholeheartedly seek the path. As for why you ask me why I seek the path, I seek the path so that one day, I can do whatever I want, be happy, and have the right to choose freely even if I don't cultivate."
Many people looked at Ye Futian. It turned out that Seventh Swordsman also had this side.
Of course, this seemed to be the wish of most ordinary cultivators.
"Everyone is in the game, and it is not easy to have the right to choose freely. If you don't cultivate, even if you don't care about the world, you may still be affected," the Imperial Advisor said. "Your requirements are a bit high."
"Indeed, so I can only seek the path." Ye Futian nodded. He did not say swordsmanship, only that seeking the path came from his heart.
"Di Hao and Dong Chen both care about the cultivators of the world, but you seek the path only for yourself?" the Imperial Advisor asked.
"One should first love oneself, then love others. One should first be independent, then talk about helping the world," Ye Futian replied.
"What kind of cultivation world do you yearn for?" The Imperial Advisor seemed to be a little interested and asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian thought of Mr. Du's wish and his path of cultivation all these years. He looked at the Imperial Advisor and said, "The Great Path is boundless."
The Imperial Advisor nodded and said nothing more.
Li Xun looked at Ye Futian and smiled. "What the Seventh Swordsman said is quite interesting. Poor people should be good to themselves, and rich people should help the world? As for the Great Path being boundless, there are boundaries in the world. How can there be no boundaries? "
"Your Highness is right. It is my arrogant words." Ye Futian naturally would not refute anything. Although Li Xun was the Prince of Dali, the scenery he saw was naturally different.
I think it is very interesting. "Li Xun smiled and said," Who does the Imperial Advisor plan to accept as a disciple? "
Today, the Imperial Advisor of Dali would accept a personal disciple. He was very curious. Would it be Di Hao, or would it still be Dong Chen?
Dong Chen was the candidate that everyone had recognized in the past. His ambition was also in line with everything that the Imperial Advisor had done.
Of course, Di Hao defeated Dong Chen and took the initiative to become his disciple. His goal of seeking the path was the same as Dong Chen's. There was no essential difference.
As for Ye Futian, everyone generally thought that he was more suitable for Sword Mountain.
Seeking the way of swordsmanship was the way of swordsmen.
"In three days, I will announce my choice," the Imperial Advisor said. Many people showed a look of surprise. The Imperial Advisor had wanted to choose a disciple today, but he had pushed the time to three days later.
Could it be that he was hesitating?
But no one dared to question the Imperial Advisor's decision.
"Very well, the Imperial Advisor's disciple will be the pillar of Dali in the future. He indeed needs to be cautious," Li Xun nodded.
"You have all worked hard today. If you want to be a guest of Dali Academy, you can stay and walk around as you please," the Imperial Advisor said as he stood up. He then looked at Li Xun and the others. "Your Highness."
"Let's call it a day." Li Xun and the others also stood up. Suddenly, everyone bowed and left.
The people of Daoli Mountain also left. The Shadow Bearing Sword Saint walked over to Ye Futian.
"Senior." Ye Futian bowed.
"You are not coming with me to Sword Mountain?" the Shadow Bearing Sword Saint asked.
"I have already said that if I win, I will not go," Ye Futian said. How could he kill Li Yao while cultivating in Sword Mountain?
The opportunity was hard to find.
He had to stay in Dali Imperial City, and with his performance today, someone would come looking for him.
"Very well." The Shadow Bearing Sword Saint nodded and said, "It is good for you to stay in Dali Imperial City to cultivate. You will have a good future. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, senior." Ye Futian bowed, and then the people of Sword Mountain left. Jian Wu did not forget to look at him.
"Are you really going to refuse?" Li You asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian smiled and said, "Let's go."
As he said this, he walked away.
The matter of the sparring session at Dali Academy quickly spread throughout Dali Imperial City. Di Hao's name was like the sun at high noon. He had defeated Dong Chen, won the title of the first person below Saint Plane, and became the Imperial Advisor of Dali.
At the same time, the name of the Seventh Swordsman also spread throughout Dali Imperial City. He had defeated Jian Wu of Sword Mountain.
Without Di Hao, perhaps the Seventh Swordsman would have become the most shocking genius this time.
Countless people were discussing and guessing who the Imperial Advisor would choose as his disciple.
Di Hao or Dong Chen?
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Countless people speculated and discussed.
On this day, Ye Futian cultivated as usual. Just as he had said, now there was only the Divine Path in front of him.
"Is the Seventh Swordsman here?" At this time, a voice came from outside the house. Ye Futian opened his eyes and said, "Who is it?"
"The Marquis of Qingyi has come to visit." A voice came. It was a marquis of the Dali Dynasty.
"Please," Ye Futian said. Then he saw a group of people walking in.
"I have always heard of the Seventh Swordsman's name. Your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Today I see that you are indeed a dragon among men." A group of people came forward. The old man at the front smiled and cupped his hands. He seemed very friendly. Behind him came a maid, holding a brocade box in both hands. It seemed that she had prepared a gift.
"Sir, you are too kind. What can I do for you?" Ye Futian cupped his hands. Beside the elder was an extremely beautiful woman. She was slender and graceful, like a gentle and graceful lady.
"My lady likes swordsmanship. When she heard of the Seventh Swordsman's name, she wanted to come and see. I have come to disturb you. I have brought some small gifts to congratulate you," the old man said with a smile. Ye Futian looked at the woman beside him and saw that her eyes were shy, which made her look even more beautiful.
Ye Futian was speechless. This …
PS: I recommend a book, "The Demon King of the City" by Happy Erhao. It is very interesting. Everyone can read it. There will be more updates later in the evening.
