Chapter 1526 The caring elders
As Bai Moqing crossed the mountains and rivers, Lu Chen came to a basin, where he could see wooden houses standing in twos and threes, presumably inhabited by people with special status.
The moment Lu Chen entered the basin, he felt an invisible soul sweeping through his body, while Bai Moqing's expression remained as usual.
"This is what Elder Liu left behind. Those whose soul cultivation is not up to the standard are not allowed to enter the valley, so as not to disturb the elders' cultivation."
Bai Moqing explained.
Lu Chen nodded. He had already heard some news about Xinyi Academy.
Perhaps this is the school that is least like a school. The original lecturer positions are also called elders, which is somewhat sect-like.
Although the knowledge of Xinyi Academy is also passed on to others, not many people learn it because the requirements are too demanding. Whether you can get started is not determined by the secret books of Xinyi Academy.
This school is different from other involution schools. It doesn't care much about whether students can be admitted. It just depends on the situation. Those who are qualified will come. If you don't meet the threshold, you won't be allowed in.
The elders who live here are all past students of the Xinyi Academy. There are few who leave the Xinyi Academy after completing their studies, and they all stay here to cultivate.
According to the information, there may be less than twenty people resident in the Xinyi Academy, and the others are traveling abroad. This academy does not engage in seclusion.
Even the elders who live in seclusion here do not sit in the wooden house for a long time, but go about their daily lives, working from sunrise to sunset, fishing by the river, and discussing Taoism with other elders.
All in all, Xinyi Academy seems to be a strange place to outsiders, but no one dares to look down upon it.
Although Jiuxiao Continent itself has not ranked the schools (because there will be fights), many people still have a list in their minds. If the top ten schools are to be selected, Xinyi School will definitely have a place.
Just because there are too many masters here, the strong ones who have emerged in the past generations have left bright legends in the supreme world.
As soon as Lu Chen walked into the basin, he felt a few souls sweep over him, like a check.
Those souls were ethereal and unpredictable, seemingly weak and almost undetectable, but Lu Chen felt that they contained rigidity. If he showed hostility, the seemingly weak souls could instantly obliterate his existence.
Very strong, the strongest soul user I have ever seen, and there is more than one here.
Lu Chen traveled throughout the heavens and the worlds and saw countless types of worlds on the surface of the supreme world. However, he had never seen anyone who was more powerful than himself in terms of soul.
Sure enough, the Mind Academy is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This is the best place for him to improve his soul practice.
"Junior Brother Lu, several elders heard about your arrival and asked me to invite you over. They don't want to embarrass you, they just want to conduct some tests on you."
Bai Moqing took Lu Chen to walk on the path. There were some things that could be seen everywhere in the countryside on the roadside. The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. For a moment, Lu Chen really felt like he had arrived in a mortal village.
But this is the Jiuxiao Continent, the ultimate gathering place of schools in the supreme world. The density of the world determines that mortals cannot exist.
"I have heard that it is difficult to get into Xinyi Academy. If it is true, I will not break the rules. If there is an assessment, I should give it a try."
Lu Chen smiled gently, knowing that Bai Moqing was not the one who made the decision in this matter.
Bai Moqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Junior brother Lu, don't say that. You were personally invited by Elder Zhang before traveling, and you are also an exchange student from various schools appointed by Elder Zhang. When the news gets out, I don't know how other schools will arrange for us. It's just that Some elders are curious about your strength and want to see what it is like."
Lu Chen is a master of Soul Intention, and the Intention Academy has known this for a long time, otherwise Elder Zhang, a high-ranking elder in the academy, would not have personally gone out to invite Lu Chen to join.
Elder Zhang watched many of Lu Chen's battles and was even more astonished. He felt that Lu Chen could achieve such spiritual cultivation at such a "young age". He was truly an absolute talent and needed to be cultivated systematically. , otherwise it is really a waste.
Then he couldn't help but step forward to recruit people, but Lu Chen said that he wanted to join them all. He was not as shameless as the directors of other schools who were bidding, so he finally came back without much shouting.
"Senior Brother Bai, don't worry. When I join Xinyi Academy, I have to abide by the rules here. I don't know how to conduct the assessment?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, saying he didn't care, but he was very curious about the assessment.
The soul has always been an invisible, sometimes intangible, intangible thing that comes from the heart. How should this kind of thing be evaluated?
And everyone's soul is different. When the soul is first inspired, people experience different things and have different feelings in their hearts, so there are no two people with exactly the same soul.
This is why the soul means a broad road, because everyone's path is different. If you can reach the end, you will naturally become a dragon.
"We'll be here soon. The test isn't too complicated. The elders will explain it to Junior Brother Lu."
Bai Moqing led the way and found that Lu Chen was not as arrogant as the outside world rumored, but was instead very humble.
Before he picked him up, he thought Lu Chen was the kind of crazy space traveler who couldn't get enough of him and acted like he was kicking the gym. It seemed that the rumors from the outside world were always exaggerated and embellished.
After passing a wooden fence, Lu Chen saw four old men sitting in a small courtyard, surrounding a semi-large round table. The four old men were dressed in different styles.
Looking clockwise from the left, the first elder is an old man in green. His face looks old, but he has long black hair.
Further down, there is an old man in white clothes, with gray hair, but his eyes are introverted, followed by an old man in purple clothes, who looks the youngest, or more accurately, middle-aged, with few wrinkles on his forehead. .
Finally, there was a skinny old man in gray clothes. He had gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was about to die. It was hard to imagine that this could be a master who existed in the supreme world.
As long as the people here have some cultivation, they are immortal. Everyone's appearance is usually self-adjusted. For example, some people want to look more mature, and the years they have experienced are also put there, which does not hinder the body's growth. Signs of aging, so you look older.
In fact, if they want to look younger, just raising their blood energy can restore their body to its most youthful state. It is a simple change.
But generally speaking, no matter how long the seniors in the supreme world live, they will not make themselves look like they are about to be buried, because it is already unsightly. Everyone has the love for beauty, no matter what Men and women generally don't want to look ugly.
Of course, Lu Chen just felt that the other party looked a little too old in appearance, but the other party's temperament gave people an inexplicable hazy feeling, as if he was sitting there, but he was not there. .
"Junior Brother Lu, these are Elders Liu, Elder Li, Elder Xu, and Elder Yun. Elders, this is Junior Brother Lu Chen."
Bai Moqing introduced each other and brought Lu Chen into the courtyard.
Lu Chen observed several elders, and the elders also observed him. Lu Chen focused his eyes on Elder Yun a few more times. This surname was rare, and he didn't know whether he was from the human race.
Lu Chen only looked at it superficially and did not use the martial arts eye. That seemed too rude.
"I heard your name from Senior Brother Zhang a long time ago. When I saw you today, it turned out to be extraordinary. At such a young age, your soul has reached such a state."
Elder Liu stroked his beard and said, looking at Lu Chen with a pair of eyes filled with satisfaction and appreciation.
"Exactly how many years have you been practicing? When did you realize the meaning of your soul?"
Elder Li also asked.
Lu Chen felt that this was more like an entrance interview than a test, but he still answered truthfully: "This junior has been practicing for more than 700,000 years..."
Before he finished speaking, Elder Xu stood up in surprise and walked over, "Only more than 700,000 years old?"
He looked suspicious and put his hand on Lu Chen's shoulder. He seemed to have used some secret technique to investigate. He looked back at the other elders and said, "The rumors from the outside are true. He is really young."
He wanted to say that Lu Chen was very young, but he felt that it was not good to comment on an accomplished genius like this, so he changed it to young.
In fact, in the Supreme World, children who are less than a million years old can really be considered young, because that usually means that they have not yet reached the ninth level realm, or are just entering it for the first time.
If the strength is less than the ninth level, it will be a problem to travel in the supreme world, because the supernatural powers they can show in this vast divine land are not much better than those of mortals in the small world, especially Newborn children do have eight levels of attributes, but they can still only crawl around on the ground, and it is difficult to stand up and move around.
Because their attributes are too low compared to this world, they need to grow older and become stronger in order to survive in this world.
After a long period of education and parental care, children grow up and have a certain ability to adapt to the world's environment when their physical characteristics become adults. However, this can only be regarded as the beginning of their long lives.
Only when the children are over a million years old will parents provide high-end education to their children, guide them to make a leap in life levels, and break through to the ninth level of strength. Only then can they be considered to have the basic strength to travel in the supreme world. .
If you are less than the ninth level, it will be troublesome to get up and go, because due to the solidity of the divine soil and some regulations, space travel is not allowed here.
Therefore, there are very few people who come to Jiuxiao Continent to study at the age of one million, let alone those with Lu Chen's strength.
"Old Li, you are making such a big fuss. This child is indeed very young, but this is considered a normal behavior for space practitioners."
Elder Xu opened his mouth and asked Old Li to let go of his hand, "That is to say, the environment here is too comfortable. If in other big worlds with cruel competition, it would not be impossible for him to reach the stage of enlightenment at this age."
When Elder Xu said this, he was actually a little bit against his will, because he knew that the possibility was basically non-existent.
The Mingwo stage is a general summary of the strength of each school system. Mainly sometimes, the school will hold some competitions. Naturally, they want to be weighted. They cannot let people who are obviously not at the same level of attributes compete against each other, which will appear to be unfair. unfair.
Lu Chen also understood some realm vocabulary of the Supreme World. The Mingwo stage probably refers to the period between 280 attribute points and 320 attribute points. The span is very large, and it can be regarded as an interval between the early and middle stages of the ninth level.
He asked his senior fellow students in the school, and the reason why he was called so had a profound meaning. Knowing himself, that is, knowing who I am, is a manifestation of the transition to the only true self.
There were still some things he didn't understand, but the senior brother didn't continue. He only said that when he reaches a certain level, he would understand.
Elder Xu feels that among all the worlds, it is indeed possible for people at Lu Chen's age who follow the martial arts system and cultivate the soul to reach the realm of knowing self, but that refers to the first entry, that is, the 281 points of comprehensive attributes in the space Such a ninth-level powerhouse.
Lu Chen is not just a newcomer, he has already gone a long way on this road, and he is only over 700,000 years old, which is outrageous.
It is not that the Supreme World cannot cultivate beings who are very young and have high cultivation level, but that does not conform to their concept of cultivating future generations.
If you were born in a good enough place, and then you are given all kinds of cramming teachings, then what you learn in the end will be nothing but rubbish, right?
Therefore, they hope that young people can learn on their own, come to school to study hard, and have healthy competition with their fellow students, and everything will develop naturally.
Therefore, in the Supreme World, it is rare to see a student who is cheating and has reached a very high level of cultivation at a very young age, because everyone cultivates naturally and does not rely much on super external forces.
That's why Lu Chen discovered that the speed of cultivation of many geniuses here is actually not as good as those passionate and striving heroes in the perfect world. Those who can enter the ninth level under ten million years old can be regarded as outstanding students. They can be born in one era. , that is a well-deserved genius.
In comparison, people like Ten Crowns and Shi Yi can practice at a speed that surpasses most of the geniuses in the Supreme World.
Lu Chen didn't know much about the original story, but Lu Chen felt that after he tricked them, it was possible for them to break through to the Immortal King within two million years old.
