Ji Yueru was not concerned. Her grandfather had repeatedly warned her not to use Divine Thought in Beiji City, as probing with it could be deed provocative by many powerful warriors.
"Who was it? Grandfather, didn’t you have soone bring him over?"
The old man’s expression softened slightly as he glanced at Ji Yueru, feeling reassured. At least his granddaughter was not soone who didn’t know the weight of her actions.
At such a young age, she was already a Third Grade Expert, and this ti she successfully passed the examination of the North Pole’s Six Institutes, not in vain of his efforts to secure this opportunity for her.
"Forget it, this year’s disciples of the North Pole’s Six Institutes don’t know the rules, and as the other party presented an inspection badge, it’s not appropriate to bla them too much."
Ji Yueru beca interested, "Who?"
"It seems to be... called Xu Guang?"
"Who? Grandfather, who did you say it was?"
It would be hard not to know Xu Guang after just passing Jingchen Pass. The two most outstanding people in this year’s examination were Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang, one First Grade, the other Third Grade, both hailing from a small place called Li Taizhou.
"Do you know him?"
...
"Brother Xu, in Beiji City, Divine Thought should not be casually unfolded, otherwise, if considered provocative, it will be disastrous."
Yao Dong felt the overwhelming pressure recede like a tide and breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly advising Xu Guang.
Xu Guang gave an awkward smile.
Though young, Yao Dong was very astute and quickly changed the subject instead of dwelling on the issue, "Three hundred miles ahead is the Six Institutes. Let’s settle there first."
Xu Guang nodded.
Actually, if it weren’t for General Wei, just the three of them could have reached their destination in monts by riding the Cloud Dove.
But the Cloud Dove could not carry General Wei, so they had to walk.
Fortunately, as they left the busy streets, the number of pedestrians decreased, allowing them to speed up considerably.
Three hundred miles would take about one hour at most.
Xu Guang didn’t mind these things; for a long ti to co, he and Jiang Zi Yun would be living in the futuristic Beiji City, which allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of it.
Here, he increasingly felt his own insignificance and sensed the vastness and grandeur of this world.
...
An hour later.
Yao Dong stopped with Xu Guang before a grand, ancient gate.
The gate was constructed from unknown massive white stones, without ornate carvings. Only above the lintel were engraved three powerful characters - North Emperor Institute!
These three characters seed to contain a unique truth of heaven and earth; just a glance stirred one’s Heart Spirit, as if seeing boundless stars and countless terrifying, unattainable figures.
Yao Dong exhaled deeply, "Finally here, Brother Xu. I’ll take you in to arrange accommodation first. Once everyone arrives, the North Pole’s Six Institutes will officially open."
"Thank you, Little Brother Yao."
Yao Dong waved his hand.
At this mont, a long line had already ford outside the gate.
These were not all disciples of the North Pole’s Six Institutes. Disciples didn’t need to queue; those who lined up were the Warriors accompanying the disciples.
Warriors were akin to close attendants, assisting Demon Hunters in Hongze to subdue demons and monsters. The Six Institutes did not reject Warriors accompanying disciples.
But Warriors were not considered disciples of the Six Institutes; they could only rely on the disciples’ rits and the welfare of the Six Institutes to obtain passage rights into the institutes at intervals.
Even with a quota for entry, a queue was still required.
Xu Guang silently observed his surroundings, clearly feeling the presence of Third Grade and even Second Grade auras from these Warriors.
Yao Dong calmly led Xu Guang straight towards the inner gate.
The gate stood a thousand ters tall, with Warriors in armor standing on either side, their aura like an abyss or mountain, unaffected by the surrounding clamor.
These Warriors were at least First Grade, and the leader’s aura surpassed Zhuge Wuliang.
These were not re Warriors; they were part of the Six Institutes.
To illustrate, ordinary Warriors were like temporary workers beside disciples, but these people had already beco institutionalized temporary workers.
Xu Guang was secretly astonished as Yao Dong, familiar with the protocol, greeted them, "Brother Wang, this is a new disciple, Xu Guang, adjusting ahead of ti. This is his wife - Jiang Zi Yun."
The leading armored Warrior hearing this, glanced at Xu Guang, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face, "So it’s Little Brother Xu Guang. Please co in."
They were all part of the Six Institutes and the ones constantly interacting with the mundane world, naturally well-aware of situations in Jingchen Pass.
Particularly the most outstanding individuals, who had long been on their radar.
Xu Guang was flattered; in his view, the disparity in status ant nothing; only strength mattered.
The other’s strength seed above First Grade, treating him with such enthusiasm, indeed surprising him.
They didn’t trouble Jiang Zi Yun nor suggested she join the queue, allowing General Wei and Jiang Zi Yun to enter with Xu Guang directly.
Upon entering, Xu Guang felt an overwhelming Spirit Charm surge toward him, its density rivaling that within the Spirit Charm of the first sea of Void Realm.
Xu Guang was visibly shaken, this...
It was simply a legendary paradise of caves and fortresses.
No wonder those Warriors outside would desperately sharpen their heads to enter the Six Institutes to cultivate.
...
Soon, under Yao Dong’s guidance, they arrived at the base of tall buildings on a plaza side.
Here were rows of mirrors, virtual images of the Demon Revealing Mirror, capable of identifying people’s identities.
Yao Dong gestured for Xu Guang to present the token given by Guo Shuo earlier before one of the mirrors.
"Xu Guang, Demon Slaying rits 0, Examination Points may exchange for three thousand Demon Slaying rits, rit List points may exchange for ten thousand Demon Slaying rits, would you like to exchange?"
