I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 560: The Lord's Helplessness

Because of Tang Ruowei, Chu Ning’s introduction to Zhongzhou focused on the Taiyi Academy, especially.

Compared to the Zhongzhou Dynasty, Taiyi Academy was established not long ago, only less than 50,000 years ago.

But Taiyi Academy was able to become one of the top two forces in Zhongzhou soon after its establishment, all because of this mysterious dean.

Since the establishment of Taiyi Academy, the dean has not been replaced, which means that the dean's life span is at least more than 50,000 years, not counting the dean's life span before the establishment of the academy.

The dean of Taiyi Academy dared to establish an academy in the imperial city of Zhongzhou without being suppressed by the dynasty. When he established the academy, he was already a top-notch expert in Dongxu.

That’s all the description about the dean of the academy in the jade slip, and there is also a long description of the academy’s disciples.

There is no discrimination among disciples in the academy, no matter if they are human cultivators, demons, or even monsters, as long as they meet the academy's admission standards, they can enter the academy.

The academy's recruitment standards are also very peculiar. One has to reach the state of spiritual transformation and enter the Mountain of Books. As long as one can pass through the Mountain of Books, one can become a disciple of the academy.

Some powerful cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm were blocked from entering the Mountain of Books, while some cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm were able to enter the Mountain of Books without any obstruction.

There was a famous genius in the Cang Tian Realm who was trapped in the Mountain of Books. There was also an old monk who gave it a try and passed through the Mountain of Books to become a disciple of the academy.

The entire world of Cangtian is confused about what the standard of the academy's mountain of books is, but one thing is recognized, the academy is truly a place that all cultivators yearn for.

Anyone who enters the academy will achieve a breakthrough in their realm.

The number of disciples in the academy has been kept below 30 for a long time, but among these 30 disciples, their realms range from the Void to the Spiritualization, making them not to be underestimated by the entire Zhongzhou, and even the entire Cangtian Realm.

What makes Chu Ning most relieved is that the disciples in the academy are extremely protective of their children.

Once, a certain force bullied a disciple of an academy. As a result, the disciple’s senior brothers and sisters came to kill him one by one, from the God Transformation Realm to the Void Realm Realm, until the force apologized.

Tang Ruowei joined the academy and her safety was guaranteed.

Apart from Zhongzhou, the second place Chu Ning looked at was the southern area where the Holy Palace was located.

There are three other top forces in the southern region like the Holy Palace, namely Guizang Palace, Jiuhua Palace and Tianbing Palace.

The four prefectures ruled the entire southern region.

At the same time, Chu Ning also understood why those small world cultivators would trick the late Nascent Soul cultivators into entering the Spirit Transformation Hall.

There is a forbidden area on the southern border of the Cangtian Realm, which contains many spirit stone mines and spiritual medicines, but those in the Spirit Transformation Realm are restricted from entering. Only those in the Nascent Soul Realm can enter.

The forbidden area is filled with dangers, and the risk of falling is very high. The Holy Palace will not let its own disciples take the risk, but they want the energy mines and elixirs inside. The Nascent Soul cultivators from the small world are the best cannon fodder candidates.

Chu Ning was not indignant about the Holy Palace's behavior of not taking the lives of the cultivators in the small world seriously.

Benefits are exchanged on an equal basis.

The monks in these small worlds have enjoyed the Spiritual Transformation Liquid provided by the Holy Palace, so they should pay the price.

It is a bit similar to the mining areas in the previous life. Mining there has high wages but high risks. However, as long as it is a voluntary choice, there is nothing to say.

But the same problem that arises as in the previous life is that some people will be tricked into entering the mining area and become illegal miners.

The small alliances in the Hualing Palace Market are responsible for deceiving the Nascent Soul cultivators into entering the Hualing Palace and eventually forcing them to sell themselves to the Holy Palace. The person in charge of the Hualing Palace also has to send people to the forbidden area, and in order to meet the number requirements given by the sect, they have to reach an agreement with these small alliances.

Chu Ning didn't know whether the Saint Palace's high-ranking officials, such as his master, knew about this matter. Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care. The life and death of a Nascent Soul cultivator was not in the eyes of a Cavernous Void expert. ...

The amount of information in the jade slip was extremely huge, and it took Chu Ning several hours to fully understand it.

While Chu Ning was reading the information in the jade slip, Hong Rongduan was in the main hall, discussing things with the palace lord.

"Elder Hong, you should know that new disciples cannot be exempted from the task assessment. I cannot set a precedent for you."

Hong Rongduan went to find the Palace Master to discuss Chu Ning's first mission after joining the sect.

After entering the Holy Palace, disciples must accept a sect mission. Whether to accept more missions after that depends on themselves.

"If it weren't for you, the Palace Master, I wouldn't have accepted Ji Yang as my disciple."

Hong Rongduan looked at the mansion lord who was sitting on the throne, and his meaning was very clear, it was you who forced Ji Yang onto me as a disciple, so you should be responsible for that.

The Palace Master smiled helplessly: "Elder Hong, the sect's mission cannot be abolished. This is the rule. Even this Palace Master cannot make this decision. If Elder Hong has any suggestions, please raise them directly."

As they have all lived for tens of thousands of years, the Palace Master knew very well that Elder Hong did not want to exempt Ji Yang from the sect mission, but wanted to assign a specific mission to Ji Yang.

"Since the Palace Master has said so, I will speak frankly."

Hong Rongduan was not surprised that his thoughts were seen through. He would have been surprised if the Lord of the Mansion could not see through his intentions.

"I want Ji Yang to be in charge of guarding the Holy Court."

silence.

After Hong Rongduan stated his purpose, the mansion lord fell silent.

After a while, the mansion master's helpless voice came out: "Elder Hong, you really gave me a difficult problem. Guarding the Holy Courtyard seems to be a sect mission, but it is actually a sect reward. Only disciples at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm are qualified, but the peak of the Spiritualization Realm is only qualified. If you want to guard the Holy Courtyard, you must be the chief disciple."

Chief disciple.

Although the Holy Palace does not have a chief disciple on the surface, it is obvious that both the Palace Master and the elders have acknowledged the existence of the chief disciple.

Hong Rongduan remained silent and just stood there quietly.

"Forget it. After all, it was this master who asked you to accept Ji Yang as your disciple. This master will make an exception this time. I will communicate with the other elders."

The Palace Master agreed, but then added: "I just didn't expect that Elder Hong would be so concerned about Ji Yang. I thought that if I forced you to accept Ji Yang as your disciple, you would not care so much about him."

It was precisely because Hong Rongduan's concern for Ji Yang was beyond the palace lord's expectations that he was willing to make an exception.

To be able to attract Hong Rongduan's attention in such a short time, Ji Yang must have some merits. In addition, considering the potential he has shown, he is willing to give him this opportunity.

"My master and I would like to thank the Palace Master for his support." Hong Rongduan said respectfully.

"Elder Hong, there is no need to do this. Ji Yang is your disciple, but he is also a disciple of my Saint Palace. A genius should be treated with preferential treatment. In three months, the Saint Academy will open. You should let Ji Yang get ready."

Hong Rong nodded, but did not continue to stay in the hall. He stood up and said goodbye and left.
