Chapter 964 Academy"s Response

964 Academy"s Response

Xu s.h.i.+ returned to the Academy, where all the upper echelons waited for her arrival. They had already received the information from the court and needed to discuss how to proceed with the changes in the world.

Everyone waited for Xu s.h.i.+ to sit on the main cus.h.i.+on, and they started the discussion as soon as she did.

"Headmaster, what do you think we should do?"

"Tell me your thoughts first," said Xu s.h.i.+.

"Firstly, we need to use all the settings to the fullest extent of their powers," said Song Li, the former headmaster. "Our next development step should be cultivating high-level Heaven Chosen, no matter the cost."

Because of the Battle Tower, they could tell the importance of geniuses to future generations. The Heaven Will Compet.i.tion won"t be only about the one chance at proving the Dao; it will also be a battle to gather luck and destiny from across the entire lower dimension.

"We can use the [Home] setting and Xin to establish something similar to the Dao Opening Sect"s Dao Heart PaG.o.da; it would be best to cultivate more Young Emperors."

In the past, the world did not emphasize actively tempering the Dao Heart, relying more on the inactive concept of Taoism, allowing cultivators to do it on their own until they reached the Void Shattering Realm. However, things changed in this generation after seeing how the current Heavenly Emperor became a Young Emperor after using the PaG.o.da.

This process will be easier and cheaper with the Dream World"s [Home] setting. Before 15 years old, which is the age of cultivation, they can have their disciples and Heaven Chosens experience countless lives or samsaras, tempering their mind and Dao Hearts.

"The [Simulation] will accelerate the cultivation speed of our disciples and cultivate countless professions; it can also be used to test our and create new techniques," continued Song Li, and everyone nodded with him.

In the future, the status of professions will either reach a new height or be lowered because of the number of professions. After all, once something is no longer rare or unique, it decreases in value.

However, if the Profession a.s.sociations could take the opportunity when the court began its foreign expansion, they might escape such a fate.

"Finally, it"s the [Battle Tower]. I do not need to say more since we can all guess how important this will be."

The teachers nodded–a supreme battle for destiny. They will have to fight for the destiny of their faction, their world, and even the human race.

"We also have to consider the benefit the Dream World has to our Immortal Powerhouses," said another teacher. As long as they are used appropriately, the Academy"s overall strength will drastically increase; it"s a shame that this fact is true for every faction in the world.

"Since we plan to cultivate more geniuses, should we unseal the sleeping ones?" asked a teacher.

"This question is not easy to answer. It"s indeed a great opportunity to fight for the destiny on the list. However, doing so will also waste the effort of countless geniuses."

The teachers began to discuss this topic; some agreed to wake up these people, while others disagreed. Ultimately, they had to look at Xu s.h.i.+ to decide.

"They must awaken," she said.

"Any particular reason?" asked Song Li, who felt there were some secrets behind this.

"I minor in Karma Dao; therefore, I can condense a few drops of Karma Was.h.i.+ng Water. However, the Heavenly Emperor cultivated it as a primary Dao."

"Do you think he will use it as a reward for the Heaven Chosens in the list?"

"It"s the best way to lure foreign factions to wake up their genius and have them compete for the list."

Xu s.h.i.+ has figured out some of the Heavenly Emperor"s thinking; the latter only wants one thing–the prosperity of his Heavenly Emperor Era. As such, the Supreme Battle of Luck most involved every faction in the lower dimension.

"Additionally, it"s also another way to counter the Balance Mechanism."

"That"s true. If he wants to leave a large quant.i.ty of Karma Was.h.i.+ng Water to the Dao Opening Sect, the best way is to ensure his sect is not the only one benefitting from it," said Song Li as realization dawned on him.

"So, who do we wake up? And how many of them?"

"The answer to that question is not easy to answer," said Xu s.h.i.+. "We are the first to use the Dream World, giving us an advantage. However, we have to compete with the losers of this generation"s battle, along with a genius like w.a.n.g Tian. So, the compet.i.tion will be fierce."

The teachers frowned; this genius was an Ultimate Glorious Age with one unparalleled genius after another. On top of that, most of them survived the final battle, meaning they could still partic.i.p.ate in this feast of luck and destiny.

"In that case, we need to rea.n.a.lyze our Heaven Chosens and decide who to awaken," said Song Li.

"I"ll leave everything to you," nodded Xu s.h.i.+ before changing the topic. "How are things going with our expansion in the Lower Realm?"

"Finding other worlds is more difficult than they should," reported Song Li. So far, their Academy has only found a few Great Thousand Worlds and more than 10 Middle Thousand Worlds, and that"s even with Xu s.h.i.+"s power.

"How could there be so few?" she asked.

"I suspect someone is purposely hiding them," replied Song Li, making an upward sign with his index finger.

"Don"t make baseless accusations."

"I"m not. We have discovered branches of the Dao Opening Sect in half of the world we discovered."

Xu s.h.i.+ frowned, "So, he was long prepared?"

"Yes, he probably had planned everything more than a hundred thousand years ago," replied Song Li with a deep sigh.

"Some people"s lives are destined to be legendary,"

said Xu s.h.i.+. "Continue to find as many worlds as possible. Although I guess the court will a.s.sign the G.o.d Positions in the Lower Realm, we can still increase our influence if we have branches in these worlds."

"I will."

Xu s.h.i.+ nodded, "How are things proceeding with gathering merit?"

"We are still a bit short." If there were a task Song Li wanted to complete as soon as possible, it was to gather enough merit. By then, the Academy will have an official ninth Emperor.

"In that case, we will have to use Plan B," said Xu s.h.i.+ as she took out a dark purple orb.

"Is this really a good idea?" asked Song Li as he looked at the orb. Xu s.h.i.+ did not answer him. She spent a lot of effort to refine this pure Primordial Chaos Qi, and her plan is to sacrifice it to Heavenly Dao for merit.

The world once had Chaos Qi but never contained Primordial Chaos Qi. As such, her plan will definitely succeed; however, there will also be consequences. The changes that will happen to the world may not necessarily be good for many people or factions.

"The times are changing, and we need to adapt,"

said Xu s.h.i.+. "Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor cannot be the only one fundamentally changing the Myriad Emperor World."

"Indeed," nodded Song Li. The Academy must be one of the great powers of the new, upcoming world and cannot allow its old compet.i.tors to dominate everything.

"Headmaster, do you want to proceed now?"

asked a teacher; he did not want to wait any longer for the academy to receive the luck and destiny of the ninth Emperor.

"Now is not the right time," said Xu s.h.i.+, shaking her head. "The Heavenly Emperor is now in the limelight, so it"s not a good idea to suddenly take it from him."

She understood w.a.n.g Wei was not the kind of person to care about such triviality. However, such simple mindfulness acts can prolong the good relations.h.i.+p she had established with him and the Dao Opening Sect. Since it was simple for her to delay a while, why not do it–especially given the benefits?

"That"s fine." They have been waiting for so long, so why not a few more years? Anyway, the moment the Heavenly Emperor gave them his

blessing, it was a foregone decision that things would succeed.

"The next major change to the world should be the improvement of the Origin System," continued Xu s.h.i.+. "We should prepare for this."

The teachers nodded in agreement. The environment has recently changed, but many people have already felt the Origin System was no longer perfectly suited for the current environment. As such, some people have begun to pursue their own cultivation system or looked at the one from ancient times.

However, the top Emperor Lineages can deduce that the Heavenly Emperor would never allow another system to rise as the Dao Opening Sect would lose the [Daofather Destiny]. So, they were waiting for the update.

"Lastly, I will soon move to the court," declared Xu s.h.i.+, and everyone concentrated on her. Some people wanted to advise her otherwise, but they soon realized it was inevitable for this generation"s Eternals Tier powerhouses to move to the court one day.

"Isn"t it too soon?" asked Song Li.

"Time waits for no one."

He sighed but did not say anything more.

Meanwhile, the meeting soon ended, and Xu s.h.i.+ did not waste time entering the Dream World; she wanted to use Xin"s service.
