Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1219: Chapter 664: Spreading the Legacy, First Hearing of the Centennial Hundred Academies Tournament

Niu Ganshan is a man who appears clumsy on the outside but is wise inside, with a steadfast belief in his cultivation. Despite being far from understanding the Water and Fire Annihilation Technique, his dedication to research greatly impresses Zhao Sheng.

Therefore, when teaching him the cultivation technique, Zhao Sheng additionally provided him with a small part of the original experimental records from years ago.

As for whether Niu Ganshan can grasp his profound intentions, that will depend on his personal destiny.

...

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed.

Jinlan Spiritual Domain, Zhenhai City.

The once-in-a-century Bairen Jialan Festival is about to arrive!

In recent months, the teleportation array in the Teleportation Hall has been continuously activated, with high-level cultivators and large Trade Alliance teams from various spirit domains of Da Kun Continent flocking to Zhenhai City to participate in this grand festival held once every hundred years.

On this day, in an elegant room of a nine-story palace-like tavern in the city, three figures sit quietly drinking wine, one of whom is Zhao Sheng.

Another person, with a jade crown and a sharp appearance, is Vice Master Dai Yiping.

Standing by the side is Zhang Fengxian, a stunning woman in a red dress with scarlet silk draped over her shoulders.

Having been in closed cultivation for more than ten years, Zhao Sheng has once again made great progress in his Dao and has now broken through to the sixth level of Divinity Transformation, his cultivation speed astonishingly fast.

"I didn’t expect the Dean to have such a leisurely interest; I thought the Dean would spend a hundred years in closed cultivation and only come out after breaking through to the late-stage Divinity Transformation!" Dai Yiping poured Zhao Sheng a glass of Heavenly Immortal Drunk, suddenly joking on purpose.

After years of working together, Dai Yiping knows that the Dean himself is not concerned with trivial matters; sometimes a harmless joke can actually bring them closer.

"If you hadn’t mentioned that a cubic Pocket World Jade would appear at the auction, I wouldn’t have come out. As soon as I come out, a bunch of troublesome things come looking for me; it’s really more comfortable to remain in closed cultivation." Zhao Sheng shook his head and said.

Dai Yiping said, "The Dean’s path is boundless, and naturally, you pay no heed to the Academy’s small trivial matters. But the Hundred-Year Academy Competition, which will open again in twenty-seven years, is of utmost importance, and I hope the Dean will personally handle it, not letting outsiders interfere."

Zhao Sheng glanced at him upon hearing this, knowing that by "outsiders," he meant the Jinlan Chen Family where Chen Danwang is.

The importance of the Hundred-Year Academy Competition is very clear to him; it not only affects the "achievement" evaluations of the entire Academy but is also one of the fastest ways to enter the mysterious inner mountain gate.

The saying goes, "When one person attains Dao, all others ascend to heaven with them!" It’s an apt description of the results of the Hundred-Year Grand Competition.

Every time, the top hundred Academy disciples in the competition all receive entry to the inner mountain gate, and their respective Academies receive an equal number of entry slots.

In other words, if three disciples rank in the top hundred, their Academy automatically receives three entry slots, which can be completely allocated by the Academy Dean.

Unfortunately, Beihai Daoist School has had no one rank in the top hundred for a thousand years.

Compared to those established Academies, Beihai Daoist School’s enrollment scope is pathetically small, and even its foundation is quite shallow.

But now, Dai Yiping finally sees a glimmer of hope, standing quietly behind the Dean, appearing like a flawless jade figure.

Having entered the Academy for barely twenty years, who would have thought that the twenty-eight-year-old Zhang Fengxian has actually passed the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, advancing to a Golden Core Master, one in ten thousand.

Such miraculous cultivation speed, even Zhao Sheng, who has been reincarnated for lifetimes, admits he is far inferior!
