Chapter 1053: Chapter 576: Passing on the Scriptures_2 Chapter 1053: Chapter 576: Passing on the Scriptures_2 The Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture truly lived up to its reputation as a method of achieving Divinity Transformation. When Chen Mobai was teaching it, there were some aspects that even he was puzzled about, until he consulted Elder Ming for enlightenment.

“Many thanks, Sect Leader, for clearing my doubts.”

Yin Qingmei thought it was Chen Mobai’s own comprehension and looked up to him with admiration and reverence.

“Hmm, since I happen to be free today, you can start transforming your spiritual power here. I will lend you a hand.”

Chen Mobai chuckled dryly twice, inputted Yin Qingmei’s latest physiological data into a model for extrapolation, and after confirming there were no issues, he asked her to sit cross-legged.

Having complete trust in her sect leader, Yin Qingmei closed her eyes to sit in meditation, letting down all her guards, and began to transform her cultivation technique on the spot.

Chen Mobai moved behind her, extended his right index finger, and lightly pressed it on the nape of Yin Qingmei’s slender and pale neck. A surge of pure yang spiritual power then entered her, descending through the twelve serious layers inside her body and transforming into the Flame Lighting Technique.

The Longevity Scripture was originally a simplified version of the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, so there were no obstructions in the transformation of cultivated spiritual power.

Moreover, since Chen Mobai had pre-calculated and had the assistance of the Flame Lighting Technique, there were no issues at all.

However, Yin Qingmei was after all a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, and her spiritual power was both pure and vast. It took her a full three days and three nights to completely complete the transformation of her cultivation technique.

“I appreciate the efforts of the Sect Leader on my behalf!”

After mastering the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, Yin Qingmei seemed to have an even better complexion. Her already fair skin took on an additional layer of translucent jade color. As she stood up to salute, her silver dress accentuated an ethereal and transcendent aura.

It was not until now that Chen Mobai had actually noticed how beautiful Yin Qingmei was; perhaps he had been blinded by his preconceptions before, causing her elegance to be veiled.

Now that her mental barriers were broken, her innate purity and freshness were fully evident.

“Your technique has just been transformed and still needs to be consolidated. However, if you want to grasp the true essence of this scripture, you must find a Destiny Spirit Plant.”

After advising her briefly, Chen Mobai sent Yin Qingmei away.

No sooner had Yin Qingmei departed than E Yun entered. He had completed the tasks assigned by Chen Mobai and came to report.

“Enrollment for Longevity Academy is proceeding smoothly. However, some cultivators do not have descendants, so there are wasted spots for cave dwelling enrolment. They asked if they could sell the spots to others without transferring the ownership of the cave dwellings.”

“Of course not, the entitlements of school-district housing must be tied to the cave dwellings. Only after being officially registered and transferred within the sect can one be eligible to enroll in Longevity Academy.”

Chen Mobai certainly could not open such a loophole. Moreover, wasted enrolment spots for the cave dwellings were actually a good thing for them, as it would save some educational resources.

“Sect Leader, there is also the matter of the special Genius Class you mentioned. After the word spread, some of those who bought cave dwellings had complaints.”

“This is the starting point to recruit all the talents of cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland. While we must take good care of those cultivators who bought cave dwellings, we also need to balance the interests of loose cultivators who cannot afford them; after all, the majority are the latter. If we lose their support and don’t offer them a pathway to advancement, wouldn’t we be pushing them towards the enemies of the Divine Wood Sect?”

Chen Mobai was confident that, once the Longevity Academy operated for a few years, other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland would soon follow suit.

They might only see the superficial benefits of the school-district housing and imitate the Divine Wood Sect to make a fortune.

But they fail to realize that the core of the policy is to provide an upward channel for all those with a Spiritual Root in the seven countries under the Divine Wood Sect’s influence, through education.

As long as one is sufficiently talented, they can join the Genius Class of the Scholarly Mansion, and then be admitted into the Divine Wood Sect, step by step reaching the pinnacle of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.

This is the essence of the Immortal Gate’s educational system.

By copying this approach, Chen Mobai was sure that as long as his new policies were implemented for a few terms, the Divine Wood Sect would swiftly grow stronger, while the other major sects of the Eastern Wasteland would find that the young men and women with Spiritual Roots under their command were dwindling.

These people would aspire to Longevity Academy, and for the sake of pursuing immortality, they would traverse mountains and rivers just for a chance to enter the school.

Everyone is full of hope. As long as they see the light of changing their destiny through their own efforts, everyone will unleash their greatest potential.

Chen Mobai was sure that a hundred years from now, when the current Foundation Establishment practitioners in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions grow old, the majority of those rising in their place will be the graduates of Longevity Academy.

To ensure that this initiative continued steadily, Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City for another month.

Whenever he had time, he would go to the entrance of Longevity Academy and teach personnel from the sect’s Transmission Division on how to become qualified teachers.

At the same time, to motivate these Sect Disciples, he not only offered contribution points as a reward for their tasks but also added Spirit Rice as a welfare benefit. As long as they were teachers at Longevity Academy, he would provide them with Rank-1 premium Spirit Rice for three meals every day.

If any Foundation Establishment Practitioners from the Sect were willing to stay, he would even supply them with Rank-2 Green Jade Spirit Rice.

Such generous conditions indeed filled all the mentoring division cultivators with drive.

Even the few Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had come with him were very tempted.

“Sect Leader, may I stay here and be a teacher?”

After a lecture that Chen Mobai had just finished, a young man with a slender build, long hair flowing loose, and bright eyes stayed behind to ask a question.

His name was Jiang Zongheng, who had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm along with Zhuo Ming.

Before Foundation Establishment, he was a true inheritor of the mentoring division; he chose this department reportedly because of his casual and unrestrained personality, and because the mentoring division was the most leisurely.

But in reality, it was because Jiang Zongheng had not found his life’s purpose.

He came from a scholarly commoner family in Jian Country, and after his Spiritual Root was discovered, he was brought to the Divine Wood Sect. Then, with his exceptional talent, he easily achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, and to obtain the Foundation Building Pill, he opted for the mentoring division where competitive pressure was minimal.

He passed the hurdle of Foundation Establishment on his first attempt.

After emerging from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Jiang Zongheng had refined the Bi-Mu Spirit Heart. As long as he cultivated step by step, he felt certain that reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Phase before his natural lifespan ended would not be a problem, but he had no confidence whatsoever in achieving Core Formation.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Zongheng saw the end of his life path at a glance, feeling emptiness and indifference.

While accompanying Chen Mobai on an inspection tour throughout the Eastern Wasteland, Jiang Zongheng kept pondering how he could give more substance to the rest of his life.

Snow-blowing Palace, Golden Cliff, Back to Sky Valley, Five Elements Sect…

Passing one East Wilderness Major Sect after another, his experiences broadened, but he still felt that the Eastern Wasteland was no different from the mundane mortal world.

It was only that among mortals it was the killing and fighting between nations, the struggles for power, while in The Cultivation World, it was between Sects.

Cultivators were said to be pursuing immortality, yet they were only mortals in possession of greater power.

Jiang Zongheng, who grew up with the idea of ‘harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world’, felt nothing but disappointment and sorrow after following Chen Mobai through the entirety of the Eastern Wasteland.

As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a high-ranking official, leading Jian Country to unify the Eastern Wasteland and change the troubled times; but after learning of the existence of cultivators, he realized that he could never fulfill that ideal.

In the Eastern Wasteland, it would be good enough if he could just take care of himself.

It was this great disparity and helplessness that made Jiang Zongheng lose his life goal.

He thought he would spend his days like this in the Divine Wood Sect, perhaps dying one day in battle or on a mission, or, if lucky, living out a natural lifespan.

Until he attended one of Chen Mobai’s lectures out of boredom.

Half a month later, Jiang Zongheng became the first cultivator to gain enlightenment on this educational system, feeling a surge of impulse unlike any he had experienced before.

This Longevity Academy had the potential to realize his childhood dream!

“If you wish to stay, I would be very glad.”

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Zongheng say this, as this Sect Disciple who he had brought out was naturally a genius, but throughout their journey, he had shown a rather dispirited personality.

He had thought that Ding Ying and Li Yixian might remain, but he didn’t expect that the first one to speak up would be him.

“Sect Leader, I will honor your will and use this Scholarly Mansion to change the entire Eastern Wasteland!”

Chen Mobai’s originally calm expression was visibly shaken by Jiang Zongheng’s words.

He hadn’t expected that someone would see the true significance behind the founding of this Scholarly Mansion!
