Chapter 3091 - 1466: Such a Waste (Part 2)

Chapter 3091: Chapter 1466: Such a Waste (Part 2)

So from the very source of it, it was White Light Ancestor’s fault; Pure Yang Ancestor was only forced into making a mistake.

"Ancestor, I was the one who was ignorant before..."

Chen Mobai looked at Ye Yune, who was apologizing to him with a face full of guilt, a little strangely. Those little matters back then, he had long since let them go and already forgotten them.

After finishing his visit to Beiming, Chen Mobai went back to the mountain of his own Weapon Dancing Sect lineage and discussed with Yu Yi about upgrading Heavenly Book Academy into a Daoist Academy.

Considering that Qian Xing and Spiritual Venerable had both already reached Cultivating Void, and now also had Dao Merits, Chen Mobai bought each of them a Portal as well.

And new users had a benefit: purchasing the Genesis Heavenly Book Gift Package only cost seven Dao Merits.

Chen Mobai didn’t waste it and directly bought two sets.

One set continued to be placed in Heavenly Book Academy for Immortal Sect Disciples to comprehend, and the other set was kept as a backup.

In case the Immortal Gate later produced another Void Spirit Body like him, he could let them refine one of the sets, complete Central Licensure, and forge a true Law Domain.

Besides the Creation and the Seven Great Heavenly Books, Chen Mobai also bought other Heavenly Books from various Pure Yang Great Powers, all basic simplified editions that Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation cultivators could comprehend.

He planned to store all of these together in Heavenly Book Academy.

On this matter, all the upper-level cultivators of the Immortal Gate were strongly supportive.

With Qian Xing successfully completing Cultivating Void, the Immortal Gate now nominally had four Cultivating Void experts, which made many Divinity Transformation cultivators feel that they could do it too. It’s just that the path of Cultivating Void required choosing one’s own Great Tao; if there were more Heavenly Books to comprehend, then for them it meant more choices.

So after Chen Mobai put forward this proposal, the plan to upgrade Heavenly Book Academy into Heavenly Book Daoist Academy very quickly received unanimous approval from the Three Hall Masters, and they even directly skipped the cumbersome voting process in Kaiyuan Hall.

One could see how impatient the many Nascent Souls in the Immortal Gate were.

Because a Daoist Academy, besides having a Divinity Transformation principal, also needed three Nascent Souls and many Golden Core teachers.

Under Chen Mobai’s instructions, Yu Yi issued a recruitment notice to the entire society.

Basically, almost all idle Golden Core Cultivators sent in their resumes.

After all, it had already spread ever since Yu Yi advanced to Divinity Transformation that Heavenly Book Daoist Academy would have many matters related to Heavenly Books.

As teachers of a Daoist Academy, they would of course be the ones closest to the water, getting the moon first.

Only, there wasn’t a single Nascent Soul applying.

After all, the Immortal Gate’s Nascent Soul Cultivators were basically all from the Four Great Daoist Sects, or else were in the Three Great Halls, or serving as principals of the various Scholarly Mansions.

Ever since the educational reform, each Scholarly Mansion had to have Nascent Soul Cultivators. Although when implementing the system, Chen Mobai had given a twenty-year buffer, the various Daoist Academies still tried to transfer their Nascent Souls as quickly as possible.

For example, Qing Ping returned to Primordial Elemental Academy to serve again as principal, Kunpeng transferred Zhongli Tianyu to True Spiritual Academy, Jiang Yuyuan went to Five Thunder Academy, and Chen Mobai also had Meng Huang take up a local post, becoming the nominal principal of Mountain and Sea Academy, and so on.

Since Jumang didn’t have enough Nascent Souls, Chen Mobai kindly transferred Bian Jingchun to temporarily take charge of Imperial Medical Academy.

After this round of personnel transfers, Kunpeng and Patching Heaven had very few Nascent Soul Cultivators left who were kept off the official staffing list, and they also didn’t want to leave their comfort zones.

Because the specifications of the Daoist Academies were personally set by Chen Mobai, and Heavenly Book Academy was the first pilot to upgrade to a Daoist Academy on his instructions, naturally it received strong support.

He directly waved his hand and transferred Qin Beichen, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing over.

Once the numbers of Divinity Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core cultivators all met the regulations, the announcement of Heavenly Book Academy’s upgrade to a Daoist Academy was also immediately circulated throughout the entire Immortal Gate.

This matter naturally stirred up a huge uproar.

After all, they had grown up listening to the legends of the Four Great Daoist Sects, and had always regarded entering a Daoist Academy as the supreme ideal for their entire lives, and likewise for their children’s education.

Now that Daoist Academies were expanding enrollment, it seemed they suddenly had one more target ideal to choose from.

Although they knew that for the time being Heavenly Book Academy was definitely no match for the Four Great Daoist Sects, at least now it could bear the title of Daoist Academy.

So regarding this matter, the Immortal Gate’s populace mostly chose to support it.

Only a small group of diehards voiced opposition.

But this was something personally pushed by Chen Mobai, so these opposing opinions naturally couldn’t affect anything; very soon, after Heavenly Book Academy, a second Scholarly Mansion applied to become a Daoist Academy.

It was Nature Studies Academy where Yan Bingxuan was.

Yunhai was the old principal here, and with Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan, there were already two Nascent Soul Cultivators; as long as they added one more, they would meet the minimum standard for a Daoist Academy.

This matter was also done on Chen Mobai’s instructions, because Yunhai had discovered that upgrading the Seventh Rank Celestial River and Star Array required many Array Masters, but the Immortal Gate currently lacked talent in this area.

Upgrading Nature Studies Academy into a Daoist Academy was meant to cultivate large numbers of Array Masters for the Immortal Gate, and even build it up into a university specializing in Formations.

Although Yunhai was currently nominally the principal of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, there was still a vacant Narcissus in the sea, and Chen Mobai directly placed her in the principal’s seat of Nature Studies Academy.

Narcissus expressed opposition, but it was invalid.

However, Chen Mobai still soothed her a bit, saying she didn’t need to manage affairs and didn’t even need to go to the office. She only had to show up on stage when Natural Academy held its opening ceremony, make an appearance, and in the future he would give her ten pieces of Aqua Essence Mysterious Stone every year as salary; only then did Narcissus grudgingly agree.

Considering that Nature Studies Academy was an affiliated university of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, the last Nascent Soul Cultivator slot was notified by Chen Mobai to Beiming, stating that if Kunpeng couldn’t spare the manpower, he could transfer someone from the Weapon Dancing Sect lineage.

After receiving the notice, Beiming was about to send Xiao Yuping. But when Ye Yune found out about this, she immediately stopped him.

Her many years of experience as Kaiyuan Hall Master had made Ye Yune understand that Chen Mobai’s notice was just a formality; he didn’t actually intend for them to send someone.

After all, Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan had already moved to the Weapon Dancing Sect’s mountain long ago.

Nature Studies Academy was clearly also Chen Mobai’s turf; if they sent someone over again, wouldn’t that just make Ancestor feel uncomfortable.

After Chen Mobai received Beiming’s reply, stating that the Kunpeng Lineage’s teaching staff was limited and they really couldn’t spare any Nascent Soul Cultivators, he nodded in satisfaction and adjusted Zhuang Jialan’s post, assigning her to Nature Studies Academy.

Soon, the announcement of Nature Studies Academy’s upgrade to a Daoist Academy was also made public to the entire Immortal Gate.

By this, during the new round of enrollment, they attracted many talents whose comprehensive evaluations were enough to get into the Four Great Daoist Sects but had fallen short due to limited slots.

According to Chen Mobai’s instructions, the Three Great Halls transferred all the best Formation teachers from the various universities of the Immortal Gate to Nature Studies Academy. Yunhai and Qian Xing would also go over to give lectures whenever they had free time, selecting Array Masters with talent for focused cultivation.

This directly made Natural Academy’s momentum overshadow Heavenly Book Academy.

Very soon, Primordial Elemental Academy also prepared to apply to become a new Daoist Academy.

Amidst all this bustling activity, Chen Mobai’s Saintly Virtue Cultivation was also steadily rising.

Time flowed slowly, and before long thirteen years had passed.

On this day, as Chen Mobai was pondering how to take the Harmonization Flower in his hand, his Heart and Mind suddenly stirred, and he looked up toward the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.

A strand of Primordial Spirit Spiritual Light soared into the sky, piercing into Outer Space; in the faint distance the vast Void could be seen, like tidal waves, surging over the sky above Wangwu Cave Heaven.

This was someone successfully undergoing Divinity Transformation, manifesting their Primordial Spirit’s anomaly.

Chen Mobai’s thoughts flowed; he glanced at his Saintly Virtue progress that had once again risen a notch, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Beiming had not let down his expectations. After adjusting his injuries, he had finally succeeded on his third attempt at Divinity Transformation.

Silver light flickered, and Chen Mobai had already returned to Wangxian Peak.

Soon, Qian Xing and Spiritual Venerable arrived as well.

"Beiming’s done well; let’s hope Mei Hua can succeed too."

Looking at Beiming’s Soul Dharma Aspect, Chen Mobai spoke. Qian Xing’s disciple, Mei Hua, had previously failed once in her Divinity Transformation attempt, and was currently in her second closed-door session charging at the realm.

"Too wasteful."

This was all Qian Xing said in evaluation.

Back in the day, when he and White Light charged at Divinity Transformation, they hadn’t had a single resource and relied entirely on Talent.

This generation, however, not only had resources, they had used several sets of them, which often made Qian Xing sigh that each generation was worse than the last.
