Chapter 600: Saint Academy
On this day, the Wendao Academy was extraordinarily lively.
The Dean personally hosted this celebration assembly to celebrate the Wendao Academy obtaining the top spot in this Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition.
Cao Youqian, who had suppressed the multitude of heroes, naturally became the focus of the entire venue.
Every prominent cultivator in the Wendao Academy came to toast Cao Youqian one by one.
The many elders of the Cao family told everyone they met: "You old geezer, how did you know my family's Great Qian would suppress the prodigies of the era?"
Normally, everyone would surely be angered by these shameless old fellows of the Cao family.
However, today no one paid attention to this; instead, they started flattering Cao Youqian.
This made the many elders of the Cao family feel rather bored.
The other focus of the whole venue was Chu Feng.
He not only defeated several seniors in the Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition but also cultivated a group of prodigies.
Every elder who toasted him intentionally or unintentionally curried favor with this person before them.
Perhaps in a while, Chu Feng would become the Dean of the Wendao Academy.
By then, they would not even have a chance to curry favor.
The banquet lasted until late at night before ending.
With the end of the banquet, Chu Feng also felt a long-lost relaxation; social engagements are truly too tiring.
He enjoys drinking and having fun, but that does not mean he likes this kind of polite socializing.
With the end of the Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition, the students in the Wendao Academy also returned to the right track.
Chu Feng was preparing matters to go to the Hongyuan Continent.
He has always been one who does not fight a battle he is not sure of; these days he was collecting information about the Hongyuan Continent.
After sorting out the information, Chu Feng discovered that the Hongyuan Continent was somewhat similar to the Honghuang Continent seen in the previous life.
A hundred clans fighting for hegemony, and the human race had not yet risen.
This is a good thing for him, Chu Feng.
The human race not rising means that human prodigies are about to be born.
As long as he finds human prodigies and cultivates them a little, he can win effortlessly.
He likes this feeling.
Half a year later, Chu Feng's appointment finally came down: go to the Hongyuan Continent to establish a Wendao Academy, or perhaps a Wendao Sect.
Besides some cultivation resources, Chu Feng also obtained the Dean's Token and a Great Emperor statue.
The Dean's Token contains a strike from a Great Emperor, and at necessary moments, the token can be used to tear open the void to escape the original world.
A Saint is a high-ranking figure in any Holy Land; losing a Saint is a huge blow to any Holy Land.
As for the Great Emperor statue, it can not only gather luck but also be activated to attack the enemy when necessary.
Chu Feng looked at the treasures in the storage ring and murmured: "I didn't expect the Wendao Academy to also be of the steady school of thought."
He has already started looking forward to going to the Hongyuan Continent to establish a sect.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Chu Feng brought his two disciples, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, to sit on the sect's teleportation array to head to the Saint Academy.
The Saint Academy is not only the core of the Wendao Academy but also a place from where one can travel to various worlds.
As the darkness before his eyes disappeared, Chu Feng and his three disciples appeared in a place with rich spiritual energy.
They had just walked out of the teleportation array when a familiar figure appeared before them.
Cao Youqian saw that figure and immediately revealed a look of wild joy on his face, shouting out loud: "Ancestor!"
The person coming was exactly Great Worthy Xuanhuo.
Not having seen him for decades, Great Worthy Xuanhuo still had the same demeanor, except that there was less of the aura of a high-ranking figure on his body, replaced by a feeling of transcendent Daoist air.
Great Worthy Xuanhuo saw Cao Youqian and smiled: "Great Qian, haven't seen you in years and you've grown up.
Your ancestor has heard about your matters. Now, I'm afraid this ancestor is no longer your opponent."
"Ancestor, what are you saying?"
Cao Youqian was a bit embarrassed by his ancestor's praise.
He subconsciously scratched his head: "Ancestor, don't tease your grandson. How dare I fight you?"
After the grandfather and grandson exchanged a few sentences, Great Worthy Xuanhuo cast his gaze on Chu Feng and bowed: "Many thanks to Saint Qiankun for guiding my unworthy grandson, so he could grow to be like he is today.
The most correct decision this old man has made in this lifetime was sending this kid to a Saint's subordinate."
Chu Feng smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Xuanhuo, you praise me too much.
Great Qian just had his talent points grow crookedly. His achievements today rely entirely on his own ability."
Hearing this, Great Worthy Xuanhuo revealed an awkward but polite smile.
He knew very well what virtue his own grandson was like before he joined Chu Feng's door.
"Fellow Daoist Qiankun, don't be humble.
This old man will take you to see the Saint Academy Dean first, who is also my Wendao Academy's God King."
"I trouble you."
Chu Feng spoke and followed behind Great Worthy Xuanhuo, moving forward all the way.
The scenery along the way was beautiful, with spiritual energy lingering, giving people a feeling of being in an immortal land.
Not knowing how long they walked, Great Worthy Xuanhuo stopped his footsteps, turned his head, and said to Chu Feng: "Ahead is the Saint Palace. I trouble Fellow Daoist to wait here for a moment."
"Okay."
Chu Feng responded, then stood quietly in place.
He neither looked around curiously nor made unnecessary movements.
A moment later, a resonant voice came from the Saint Palace.
"Announce: Saint Qiankun and two Saint Sons for an audience."
Hearing the sound, Chu Feng and his three disciples immediately climbed up the long white jade stone steps.
After walking through dozens of steps, the three arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
Chu Feng walked into the main hall first, with Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian following closely behind.
After entering the main hall, Chu Feng saw a white-haired and white-bearded old man sitting leisurely on the throne.
This person was the Saint Academy Dean, God King Zhenshen.
He did not deliberately release his pressure, but merely sweeping his gaze over Chu Feng gave Chu Feng an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The two disciples behind him even directly knelt down.
The three paid their respects in unison: "We pay respects to the God King."
"Rise."
As God King Zhenshen's words fell, Chu Feng suddenly felt that the discomfort on his body disappeared without a trace.
"Sit."
He casually pointed, and three chairs flew to the left side where Chu Feng and the other three were.
"Thank you, Sir."
Chu Feng did not address him as God King but as Sir, to get closer to their relationship.
Hearing this, God King Zhenshen subconsciously stroked his beard and said: "You kid are indeed humble and polite just as Little Kong said.
You stay in the Saint Academy for a few more days. You can also chat about old times with your teacher, or come find this old man to chat."
Hearing this, Chu Feng remembered his own master.
The former dean of the Zadao Academy is also cultivating in the Saint Academy.
Why didn't he see that old man just now?
Speak of the devil.
Chu Feng's thought had just flashed when a figure walked out from the side rear of the main hall.
Seeing the person, he quickly stood up and said: "Disciple Chu Feng pays respects to Master."
Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen also stood up and paid their respects upon hearing this: "Disciples pay respects to Grandmaster."
The person smiled and said: "Little Feng, this old man knew you kid were not a thing of the ponds. This old man leaving the Zadao Academy back then indeed forced out your potential."
