Chapter 1072: Chapter 586: It’s Said to Be a Dragon_2 Chapter 1072: Chapter 586: It’s Said to Be a Dragon_2 Ever since the Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect jointly issued a public announcement regarding the water vein in Yun Meng Ze, even though Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace were reluctant, they had no choice but to send out Foundation Establishment Elders, leading the sect’s disciples to help suppress the demonic beasts for the sake of profit.
Among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners leading the team from Snow-blowing Palace was Xue Ting, who was well-known to Chen Mobai. It was unclear whether this could be considered a dispatch to a remote frontier.
On the other hand, the lead from Back to Sky Valley was He Jintong, the Eldest Disciple of Yan Shaoyin, who, after his failure to form a Core, sought to hunt monster beast inner pills in an attempt to create a heterodox Golden Core.
However, the situation in Yun Meng Ze primarily depended on the manpower of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect to stabilize. This could also be because the main target of the demonic beast army was eroding towards the riverbanks near Dongwu, and they hadn’t felt any pressure on their side for the time being.
After discussing the external matters, Luo Xue’er moved on to speak about the sect’s financial situation. This year they were able to turn a loss into a profit, and as long as there was no war, they would have a surplus every year.
Mostly good news, Chen Mobai was very satisfied.
Yue Zutao: “Sect Leader, there is another matter. Near the border between Frost Country and Snow Country, there has been a fierce fluctuation in nature’s spiritual energy, suspected to be the emergence of a relic or the mining of a Spirit Stone Mine. However, when our people from Snow-blowing Palace went to investigate, the fluctuations in spiritual energy had disappeared.”
Luo Xue’er: “I think it is very likely to be a Spirit Stone Mine, especially since two medium-sized Spirit Stone Mines were discovered near the junction of Wind, Snow, and Frost countries.”
In the entire Eastern Wilderness, there are only four medium-sized Spirit Stone Mines, two of which are in the hands of the Five Elements Sect.
The other two are each in Wind Country and Frost Country.
And these two are not far apart.
If it weren’t for Snow-blowing Palace having some connections in East Land, even Ancestor Hunyuan would have wanted to forcibly take possession of this Spirit Stone Mine.
According to the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, if Snow-blowing Palace really discovered a new medium-sized Spirit Stone Mine, as the new overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, Divine Wood Sect would definitely want a share of the profits.
Even if it’s not on their own territory.
Although Chen Mobai intended to gradually absorb Snow-blowing Palace and unify the Eastern Wilderness, he was not willing to let Divine Wood Sect use the occupation of the Spirit Stone Mine as a pretext to start a war.
Having a justifiable reason to act is still very necessary.
The best outcome would be for Snow-blowing Palace to admire their great sect’s demeanor, noble spirit, and offer their territory voluntarily, to be incorporated into the Divine Wood Sect!
This would be the most upright way to subdue the enemy without fighting!
“Let the Witchcraft division send more people to investigate and find out the exact cause.”
In the end, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone present, Chen Mobai issued an order that seemed very moderate.
After handling the matters within the sect, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate.
Things here were even simpler.
Yu Wood City and Qing Sang Academy had their own complete operating systems, and moreover, the various major departments in the city were managed by higher-level departments of the Immortal Gate; his non-interference was actually the best.
So, he only planned to take a tour of Qing Sang Academy, after all, this academy is under both the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy, and he was also one of the senior members, which made him care a little more about it in his heart.
Knowing that he was coming, Vice Principal Song Mutu was early to meet him at the school’s entrance and accompanied him throughout his inspection tour of the various majors in the academy.
“This year’s enrollment has reached a new high; Teacher Song has worked hard,” Chen Mobai said after touring the two most famous majors of Qing Sang Academy and finally reaching the principal’s office he seldom visited more than once a year. He praised the continuous upward trend after flipping through this year’s enrollment brochure.
“It’s nothing, a lot of the new students have applied for our academy because of the reputation of Principal Chen; I wouldn’t dare take credit,” Song Mutu humbly responded, waving his hands to show that the increasing number of students in recent years was all thanks to the principal.
“Oh, is this the list of students applying for further study at our academy?”
At that moment, Chen Mobai came across a document, and after reading the cover, he saw three individual profiles underneath–these were the only students who had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment at Qing Sang Academy in the last ten years.
Students applying for further study could fill in three choices, much like how one selects universities during college entrance exams, ranked from high to low.
The first choice of these three students was respectively Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Jumang Academy, and Repairing Heaven Institute.
There was no mention of Dance Tool Dao Academy.
Recalling his previous words and considering Chen Mobai’s own status as an outstanding alumnus of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Song Mutu looked somewhat embarrassed.
But although Chen Mobai felt somewhat disappointed, he still smiled and picked up the head principal’s seal of Qing Sang Academy and stamped it.
“Ever since I and Tianyu graduated, the Dance Tool Dao Academy has indeed fallen into decline a bit,” Chen Mobai said after stamping the document, and then he checked the latest rankings of colleges within the Immortal Gate, sighing to find that Dance Tool Dao Academy had once again become the bottom of the Daoist Academy in the past ten years.
“The Repairing Heaven Institute has produced a genius of incomparable intelligence who has mastered the Guidance Book. It is said that Elder Yuanxu has taken a personal interest in them and brought them into his own new project. The Kunpeng Daoist Institute has also consecutively yielded two outstanding talents, superb geniuses who have completed parts of the Liu Yu Scripture related to wind and rain. Compared to them, our two families have had somewhat of a gap in rising talents over the past decade or so.”
As a frontline education expert, Song Mutu was familiar with the leading geniuses of the Four Great Daoist Sects in recent years and shared this information with Chen Mobai.
For the most part, it has been a rotation between Jumang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy taking the last place, but a couple of years ago, Jumang Academy recruited a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, who had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment even before attending the academy.
Once this person with the Heavenly Spiritual Root has grown, Jumang Academy will be able to leave the Dance Tool Dao Academy behind and compete with Repairing Heaven and Kunpeng Institutes on an equal footing.
It’s no wonder that Qing Sang Academy’s three newly established practitioners are reluctant to choose the Dance Tool Dao Academy as their top priority for further study.”
Although Chen Mobai had once outperformed all the talents of the Daoist Academy when he was younger, he did not grow arrogant or complacent, holding genuine respect in his heart for true geniuses.
“Indeed, ‘new generations replace the old’!”
After looking up these prominent individuals mentioned by Song Mutu online, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but exclaim with feeling.
In particular, he always felt that the two from Kunpeng Daoist Institute who had mastered the Liu Yu Scripture were out of this world!
“You mean Crystal and White Waves, right? They are transformed Spirit Beasts from the Sea Territory and have similar backgrounds to the Sage Narcissus,” Chen Mobai inquired of Wen Ren Xuewei about the matter of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and incidentally asked about this too, to which the latter directly informed him.
On hearing this, Chen Mobai was greatly surprised.
“Could it be that after a hundred years, the Immortal Gate might have two more Nascent Soul Superiors?”
If they came from the Sea Territory and were like Sage Narcissus, then they were guaranteed to achieve Nascent Soul.
“White Waves’ future achievements might even surpass those of Sage Narcissus!”
Wen Ren Xuewei, sitting gracefully in a pavilion in the water on the other side of the video call, sipped her tea and uttered a statement that startled Chen Mobai.
“What kind of creature is it?”
“It is said to be a dragon!”
As legitimate heirs of the Daoist Academies who might one day take charge of them, Wen Ren Xuewei straightforwardly shared this significant secret with Chen Mobai.
“Are there True Dragons in the Immortal Gate?”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai was even more astonished.
“Well, I don’t know about that, but even if it isn’t a True Dragon, it’s definitely of True Dragon lineage.”
Peach Blossom Sage of Jumang Academy is an otherworldly figure, so she knew a lot about this subject. As an up-and-coming Nascent Soul, Wen Ren Xuewei was quite privy to the academy’s matters, being second only to the Nascent Souls, and most information was shared with her.
Chen Mobai asked further questions and Wen Ren Xuewei shared what she knew, revealing that when White Waves enrolled, even the Beiming Ascendant of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, who had been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, came out to greet him.
One can only imagine White Waves’ status in the Sea Territory must be extraordinary!
“It’s a pity that, with this development, the Dance Tool Dao Academy is likely to remain at the bottom for the next decade.”
After chatting with Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai felt sorry about the circumstance.
A talent of White Waves’ caliber could probably only be surpassed by him if he were to return to academy life now!
“What are you complaining about? We at Jumang managed to attract a Heavenly Earth Spirit Root apprentice, hoping to reclaim the top ranking of the Daoist Academies after a few years of training. Who would have thought that Kunpeng Daoist Institute would behave so unethically, recruiting a Transformation exchange student from the Sea Territory!”
Wen Ren Xuewei was quite vexed. As the one who began overseeing the operation of Jumang Academy after reaching Core Formation, she was eager to achieve results to naturally assume the position of vice chancellor.
“At least you can vie for second place. Our Dance Tools has nothing but the bottom to cling to.”
Chen Mobai’s self-deprecating words made Wen Ren Xuewei feel somewhat better.
However, regarding the matter of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, Wen Ren Xuewei really had no solution; even the Nascent Soul Superiors were coveting this item.
After talking for a while longer, the two ended the call.
The Five Peaks Immortal Mountains!
Yu Huiping watched Xiao Hei operate the computer, selecting Dance Tool Dao Academy as his top choice for submission and hesitated to speak up.
