The gates of the Heavenly Dao Academy were a hundred ters long.
They soared into the clouds.
A grand, majestic aura emanated from the gates.
On each side of the academy’s gate, there were two statues of n.
One of the n held a horsetail whisk, dressed in a Daoist robe, with an imposing aura.
The other man stood on a Green Tiger, his right hand raised above his head, gathering Blade Intent in the palm of his hand.
"These two are the founding ancestors of our Heavenly Dao Academy," Li nghe explained on the side.
"The one on the left is the Green Tiger Ancestral Master, and the one on the right is the One-Qi Daoist.
It is said that during the Wild Desolation era, these two were the pioneers of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Together with others, they established this institution in an era dominated by Monster Beasts, drinking blood like milk,
aiming to cultivate more talents for our human race."
"Admirable," Mo Tianming nodded.
"However, after the True Martial Great Emperor greatly uplifted the human race, our Heavenly Dao Academy also began enrolling without discrimination, and individuals from other races were also admitted into the institution," Li nghe continued.
"Vice Principal Li is very optimistic about you all. You must do your best."
"Li senior, if you are free tomorrow, could you perhaps show us around inside the academy?" Xu Zii said.
His main intention was to find the location of the Nine-Bend Godly Flas, but it was inconvenient to ask directly.
To avoid others suspecting his motives.
"Well," Li nghe paused and then said,
"Let’s see how the academy arranges things for you. If there’s nothing else, I could take you around."
Entering the Heavenly Dao Academy, even though it was already dark, the academy was still bustling.
Above their heads, countless islands and pavilions floated.
So were sitting in the firmant, absorbing the Essence of the Moon, while others practiced Sword Flight.
There were even those riding ancient giant beasts moving about, carrying an overwhelming suppression of their beastly might.
The area of the Heavenly Dao Academy was vast and boundless, housing about a hundred thousand students.
Its bustling activity and resources were unparalleled across all the academies on the Yuan Central Continent.
When the group arrived at the Loulan Courtyard, they saw a serene courtyard.
It was surrounded by a Spirit Gathering Array, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy.
Various flowers and trees were planted around.
In the center of the courtyard, there were several huge ginkgo trees.
The walls of the courtyard were piled up with Silver Moonstone, and inside there were three houses.
It was evident, both the environnt and the construction materials were of the highest choice.
"Alright, you all rest here tonight," Li nghe said.
"Thank you, senior Li," Mo Tianming expressed his gratitude.
Watching Li nghe’s retreating figure, Mo Tianming then turned to look at Xu Zii.
He smiled and said, "So Brother Xu is a Talented Disciple of the True Martial Holy Sect, my apologies for my earlier ignorance."
"Brother Mo is quite remarkable too," Xu Zii smiled.
Just now inside the Tower of Heavenly Dao, Xu Zii clearly felt that mysterious power within Mo Tianming.
It was definitely Emperor Qi.
After all, having seen a real Great Emperor, the Divine Emperor before, he couldn’t be mistaken about this feeling.
"Everyone has secrets. I look forward to our future interactions. As fellow students of the sa institution, we must take care of each other," Mo Tianming smiled.
The two chatted briefly, then returned to their respective rooms.
...
Currently, inside the Heavenly Dao Academy, in a brightly lit grand hall,
There sat a dozen figures, each emanating a heavy presence.
Vice Principal Li Changhe was sitting on the side.
The woman seated at the head of the table wore a blue and white robe and her face was partially veiled.
Due to the spacious cut of her robe, her figure was indiscernible.
Directly below her position, two rows, filled with dozens of imposing instructors, stretched out on each side.
"I heard today’s event at the Tower of Heavenly Dao was quite sensational," the woman said, her voice pleasing as she lightly chuckled.
"Headmistress," Li Changhe nodded as he spoke.
"Two persons have breached the tenth floor of the Tower of Heavenly Dao, so I have co to seek your advice."
"What did Star Origin Ancestral Master say?" the woman inquired.
"The Ancestral Master gave two suggestions; the youth called Mo Tianming carries the Emperor Qi, which ought to be exceptional.
His future is boundless," Li Changhe stated.
"As for the other one, Xu Zii, he is inscrutable."
"Inscrutable?" The woman at the head furrowed her brow slightly.
Her skin was fair, and there was a unique charm when she knit her brows lightly.
"In this world, it’s rare for soone to be inscrutable even to an Ancestral Master."
"I’m curious too, but these were the Ancestral Master’s exact words," Li Changhe nodded.
"What do you all think?" the woman asked, looking around at the others.
"Since the Ancestral Master holds such high regard, I think we should cultivate both well."
"Yes, perhaps the Great Emperor of this generation might originate from our Heavenly Dao Academy."
"I agree, being able to produce a Great Emperor of this era, so people would not dare to be overly presumptuous."
"Vice Headmaster, what do you think?" the woman turned to Li Changhe and asked.
"My suggestion is to focus on cultivating Mo Tianming; as for Xu Zii, give him more thought," Li Changhe said.
"Mo Tianming is a Loose Cultivator, and after nurturing him, he will belong to our Heavenly Dao Academy.
Xu Zii is likely a Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect, as you all probably know.
Regardless, he will not stay at the academy."
"That makes sense," so teachers nodded below.
They said, "Both are worth cultivating, but Mo Tianming deserves more."
"Very well," the woman at the head slightly waved her hand.
"Venerable Ming, take Mo Tianming under your wing.
I want you to assist him with all your might until his Destiny is ford."
"I understand," a refined gentlen stood up from below and promised.
"And Venerable Nu?" the woman surveyed the hall and then frowned as she asked.
"He probably hasn’t arrived," soone spoke up.
"I’ll go call him."
"No need, just relay the ssage and have Xu Zii report to him tomorrow," the woman answered.
"This matter is thus settled."
The assembly below voiced no objections, although they were curious why Xu Zii was being sent to Venerable Nu.
After all, the academy’s people had much to say about Venerable Nu.
"Venerable Jin, how are things on your end?" the woman shifted her focus within the hall towards a man dressed in a golden robe, and asked.
"It’s problematic, probably won’t last much longer," Venerable Jin sighed.
"How much longer is ’not much longer’?" the woman asked.
"Seven days, at most seven days," Venerable Jin pondered for a mont and then confird.
"I see, you may all leave," the woman fell silent for a mont before finally gesturing everyone to disperse.
"Headmistress, several forces in the north have already beco restless and are stirring," Venerable Jin continued.
"They all want a piece of the action, not fearing that they might break their teeth," the woman scoffed coldly.
