Chapter 392 - 365: Hidden Spirit Academy
Xiang Yun checked the spirit value of the puppet and found that it still had half left, so he nodded and said, “You can guard the next shift; as for the others, you can go offline and rest.”
“Thank you, Lord Xiang Yun.”
Xiang Yun stood on the Steel Great Wall, looking at the giant city outside the wall that had been occupied by the Demon Clan.
“What are you so desperately trying to earn Spirit Stones for?” Xiang Yun suddenly asked the puppet staying behind.
The middle-aged butcher proudly said, “My son passed the Immortal Sect’s test, and I heard that immortals need Spirit Stones for cultivation, so I want to earn more Spirit Stones for him to use during his cultivation.”
Xiang Yun listened to the pride in the middle-aged butcher’s tone and said with emotion, “You don’t have to do this. Once you join my sect, you don’t need Spirit Stones anymore.”
“So you don’t have to work so hard,” Xiang Yun advised.
In the Hidden Spirit Sect, the most important thing was points. Spirit Stones had not been used since returning from the Ten Years of Experience.
“Having more Spirit Stones is always a good thing.”
“Moreover, I like to kill demons with this knife,”
Said the middle-aged butcher, touching the giant knife in his hand.
At this moment, a team of one hundred special puppets appeared and took over the next shift.
On the entire Steel Great Wall, there was one disciple stationed every few thousand kilometers.
On the plain behind the Main Peak of Hidden Spirit Island, an academy capable of accommodating 100,000 disciples had been built, as well as the giant city that housed the families of the disciples.
“Hmm, tomorrow we will welcome the new disciples joining the sect. The earlier they are cultivated, the sooner they will grow,” Xu Fan said as he looked down at the entire academy from the sky.
“Yes, sir,” Pu Tao said.
At this moment, Xu Gang’s figure appeared next to Xu Fan.
“Greeting Master,” Xu Gang said.
“Not bad, now it would actually take some effort for me to suppress you,” Xu Fan looked at Xu Gang and exclaimed.
“Master, you’re joking,” Xu Gang had already become immune to Xu Fan’s teasing.
“Since you’ve stabilized your cultivation level, you might as well go to the Steel Great Wall and practice. You are now a qualified cannon,” Xu Fan said, finally seeing some progress after all these years of training.
“Take this Jade Disc. It contains the Divine Powers you’ve been longing for, which point directly to the origin of the Three Thousand Great Dao. You can slowly comprehend it, no need to hurry,” Xu Fan said.
Ever since Xu Gang came back from the Thousand Spirit Sect, he has been talking about his best buddy’s Divine Powers, which point directly to the origin of the Three Thousand Great Dao. Xu Fan sighed at his envy.
We also have them! If you wanted it, you could’ve just asked.
“Thank you, Master,” Xu Gang happily said.
As Xu Gang was about to bow out, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Master, which section of the Steel Great Wall has more Fox Demons?”
“The section guarded by Xiong Li and the Army of Ten Million, go there.”,
“Hmm.”
The next day, a spiritual boat landed outside the gate of each giant city.
A group of people who had been waiting outside the city gates for some time excitedly brought their children aboard the Spirit Boat.
In Heavenly Pond No. 4 Megacity, the little boy and his family excitedly boarded the Spirit Boat.
“Hu’er, your dad is proud of you,” the middle-aged butcher said excitedly.
“Dad is not as amazing; he can already kill demon clans now,” the little boy said with admiration.
There was a recording feature in the game, and the middle-aged butcher would play recordings without battles for the little boy to watch.
So now the middle-aged butcher is the object of the little boy’s admiration.
“You two don’t need to flatter each other here,” the middle-aged woman holding the little boy’s grandma smiled.
“My dad is really awesome,” the little boy laughed, and the admiration in his eyes made the middle-aged butcher very pleased.
At this moment, as everyone gathered on the spirit boat, it slowly rose into the air amidst the envious gazes of the onlookers at the entrance and flew towards the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Above the cloud layer, the little boy excitedly looked around, feeling as if he had entered a new world.
“Hu’er, your dad has already made connections for you,” the middle-aged butcher said.
His ability to control the puppet in battle recently had caught even the immortals’ attention, and through this, he had become acquainted with several immortals guarding the Steel Great Wall.
“Dad, you know immortals!”
“Of course,” the middle-aged butcher said with pride.
“If you ever encounter immortals named Xiang Yun, Xiong Li, and Million Soldiers, just tell them you’re my, the butcher’s son, and they’ll know.”
Admiration filled the little boy’s eyes as he looked at the middle-aged butcher.
After a while of flying, all the spirit boats gathering disciples started to assemble and fly in one direction.
“Is that where the immortals live?”
“Could it be under the lake?”
As everyone speculated, the spirit boat passed through the sect’s grand formation and reached the inside of the Hidden Spirit Island.
For a moment, everyone took a deep breath, looking at the orderly palaces scattered amongst the range of mountains, the sky-blue waterfall resembling the Nine Heavens Milky Way in the distance, and the nine giant dragons circling in the sky.
An indescribable feeling arose in everyone’s hearts. They had imagined countless times what the place where the immortals lived looked like, but now it felt as if they couldn’t get enough of it.
Then, amidst the amazement of the crowd, the spirit boat landed in the plaza in front of the academy.
A strange flying puppet approached the little boy’s family.
“Sect disciple Li Leihu, please follow me.”
The flying puppet led the little boy’s family to a single room dormitory.
“This is where you will live. Your food and accommodation will be at the academy. You can return home for a three-day rest every half a month.”
“Now, parents, please leave,” said the flying puppet.
“Can’t I stay and take care of Hu’er?” Upon hearing they could only see their son every half a month, the middle-aged couple hesitated.
“No, parents must go.”
“Let’s go. Hu’er will be well taken care of by the immortals here,” said the middle-aged butcher, patting the middle-aged woman, having some reluctance himself.
“Alright.”
Before leaving, the middle-aged woman gave the little boy a long list of instructions and reluctantly left.
In the sky above the academy, Xu Fan and Xu Yuexian looked at the performance of the children coming to camp and laughed, “These children are doing quite well.”
Out of the hundred thousand disciples, not one cried for their mother.
All of them stayed obediently in their dormitories.
“These children are the elites personally picked out by Master from billions. Like the disciples Master recruited back then, they became more monstrous one by one,” Xu Yuexian laughed.
“By the way, Master, why did you call me here?” Xu Yuexian asked, not believing Xu Fan called her over just to watch the children.
“From now on, you will be the dean of this academy as usual,” Xu Fan said indifferently.
“Ah??? ” Xu Yuexian’s expression changed. She would rather not be so restricted, let alone manage a bunch of children.
“As long as you train all of them to the Nascent Soul Stage according to the sect’s standard, I’ll give you a Hai Zhou boat as a reward. How does that sound?” Xu Fan tempted.
“I don’t think it sounds too great,” Xu Yuexian said while looking at the children below.
“Also, a Pu Tao’s avatar with the same power as Pu Tao before evolution.”
“Deal? “
