Chapter 749: Dao Discussion at the Imperial Academy

Inside the house, following the departure of the black-robed person, it was quiet again.

Xu Qing picked up the jade slip on the table, merged his spiritual sense, and checked it slowly. After a long while, a thick chill rose in his eyes. When he looked up at the night outside the window, this chill also seeped into the night, becoming a pen.

And using the night wind as a painting knife, silence as rhythm, the endless universe as paper, and starlight and moonlight as ink, he drew a picture before the dawn broke.

Xu Qing's figure gradually blurred outside this picture, and finally disappeared without a trace.

When he appeared, he had already walked into the streets in the picture, walked away, and headed toward the Imperial Academy.

He had heard that the competition between the Hetero-Immortal School and the Fusion-God School was proceeding as normal, and the Hetero-Immortal School's Bai Ta had been unsealed tonight.

At this moment, as he moved forward, the dawn of dawn behind him slowly tore through the darkness of the night. This light was tearing apart the darkness, bringing new hope to the heavens and the earth.

It seemed that everything was waking up, and everything was starting over.

Just like the Hetero-Immortal School's Bai Ta in the Imperial Academy at this moment.

In the Bai Ta, the Hetero-Immortal School Master sat alone, silently, for a whole night.

He looked at the blackness fading from the outside world, looked at the falling light of the first sun, and looked at... a figure appearing there.

This figure stepped on the light of the first sun and walked into the Bai Ta step by step.

"School Master."

Xu Qing bowed and spoke softly.

The Hetero-Immortal School Master's gaze fell on this figure with sunlight behind him. He remembered this disciple, and also remembered that when this person joined the Hetero-Immortal School, the Hetero-Immortal School still belonged to the decline.

He even remembered that this disciple once made him feel that he had aptitude, but in the end, as the Hetero-Immortal School revived and grew, there were more and more people with aptitude, and the other party naturally lost his attention.

But he did not expect that after the Hetero-Immortal School was unsealed, this person... would be the first, and possibly the only one, to arrive.

Sighs and emotions became complex, spreading in his heart. Xu Qing walked to the jade slip shelf on the side.

He wanted to find records about the Fusion-God School within the Hetero-Immortal School. For this Fusion-God School, whose philosophy was completely incompatible with Hetero-Immortal, the Hetero-Immortal School naturally had many records.

Especially the small newspapers back then, although most were fabricated and caught shadows, they also hid a bit of the source within them.

Xu Qing planned to check carefully and comprehensively, to verify his judgment, and at the same time arrange his course of action in his heart.

The Seventh Imperial Prince was already a dead man in his heart, and his goal was not just a Seventh Imperial Prince.

"Bai Xiaozhuo..."

Xu Qing muttered in his heart, walked to the jade slip shelf, and began to search.

Looking at Xu Qing, the Hetero-Immortal School Master wanted to speak but stopped. After a long while, he sighed softly and spoke slowly.

"Xuan Leizi, after today, there may be no Hetero-Immortal School. You can cancel your core identity yourself, and you can also dig out the Dao Seed, so as not to affect your future."

Saying this, he took out a jade slip and placed it aside.

This was the proof of canceling the core disciple identity.

After doing these, he stood up from the seat and walked toward the outside of the tower step by step.

Morning had arrived, and the time for the competition was also approaching.

Looking at the horizon, the Hetero-Immortal School Master felt somewhat desolate in his heart.

He did not know if that mysterious senior would appear again, and he did not know where the fate of the Hetero-Immortal School would go next.

But no matter what, he was the School Master of this generation of the Hetero-Immortal School.

Thus, a look of persistence gradually appeared in his eyes.

"No matter what, even if it is a curtain call... it cannot lose the name of Hetero-Immortal!"

Carrying such thoughts, the Hetero-Immortal School Master's pace became more and more firm as he walked toward the Imperial Academy's Dao Altar.

Inside the Bai Ta, Xu Qing raised his head, looked at the Hetero-Immortal School Master's back, withdrew his gaze, and continued to check the jade slips. Until the bell rang in the distance, the students outside were like a tide, and the sound of discussion was also surging, Xu Qing then put down the classics.

He found the answer he wanted, so he walked out of the Bai Ta and into the crowded crowd outside.

The Dao discussion between the Hetero-Immortal School and the Fusion-God School was originally very much watched, and coupled with the catastrophe encountered by the Hetero-Immortal School now, it made the attention of this Dao discussion even higher.

Especially... the Human Emperor specially permitted the Dao discussion to continue.

In this way, the attention attracted by this Dao discussion not only came from the students of the Imperial Academy, but even the various forces of the Imperial Capital also used various methods to gaze at the Imperial Academy's discussion on this day.

And within the Imperial Academy, there was only one place for Dao discussion.

That was the Dao Altar in the center of the only Imperial Academy.

This place was very large, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Many years ago, large-scale Dao discussions were held many times, and each time it caused a sensation.

At this moment, there were many students here, and basically, most of the students residing in the Imperial Capital had arrived.

The sound of discussion echoed, and the voices were boiling. And their gazes were mostly looking at mid-air.

In mid-air, two huge octagonal Dao platforms were floating.

One black and one white, simple and elegant, as if implying purity and tenacity, and the octagonal structure also became the foundation of the Dao platform, symbolizing the intersection of the earth and the sky.

At this moment, it emitted pressure between the heavens and the earth, and there was even Dao rhyme spreading from these two ancient Dao platforms, spreading in all four directions, forming pieces of rosy light.

Among them, on the black Dao platform, the Fusion-God School Master sat there, behind him were the Fusion-God high-level officials and the chief, as well as the Seventh Imperial Prince and others, each meditating, a total of several hundred, with momentum like a rainbow. At the same time, more Fusion-God students were crowding below.

And on the white Dao platform opposite, there was only the Hetero-Immortal School Master alone, sitting in meditation, lonely.

A sense of desolation rose spontaneously.

The various forces outside also shook their heads one after another, feeling somewhat complex in their hearts. After all... many years ago, the Hetero-Immortal School was the first school of the Imperial Academy.

But now...

Sighs rose in many people's hearts, and also included the Hetero-Immortal School students around the Dao Altar in the Imperial Academy.

These students who joined the Hetero-Immortal School could only remain silent one by one now.

Xu Qing was also standing in the crowd. He could perceive the atmosphere here, but now his focus was on the Seventh Imperial Prince on the Fusion-God School's Dao platform and... the Fusion-God School Master.

Gazing at them, Xu Qing's gaze was calm.

He did not rush out immediately to reveal it, but was waiting for this big show to reach a critical moment.

For a long time, when the bell rang for the ninth time, the sky of the Imperial Academy suddenly fluctuated. From the end of the firmament, two figures wearing white robes walked over.

One in front and one behind, one old and one young.

The old man walking in front had a gentle expression, and the wrinkles on his face witnessed the traces of time, as if the river of wisdom had passed through.

Although his posture was no longer straight, his temperament and wisdom became more and more distinct with the growth of age.

This person was exactly the Imperial Academy Chancellor, and behind him... was the Third Imperial Prince, who served as the Imperial Academy Chancellor's assistant.

They did not wear the Imperial Academy's mask, and their appearances were clearly reflected in everyone's eyes. The moment they appeared, the Hetero-Immortal School Master, the Fusion-God School Master, and all the students here bowed their hands one after another.

"Greetings, Chancellor."

Being appointed by the Human Emperor to become the Imperial Academy Chancellor, he was naturally a person of virtue and prestige. On this point, whether it was knowledge, identity, or contribution, this old man possessed it all.

At the beginning of the Imperial Academy, he participated in the renovation, and even too many schools had his help to be successfully established in the earliest times.

And he possessed the royal bloodline. Looking from the generation, he was the uncle of the current Human Emperor.

So the Third Imperial Prince behind him was extremely respectful.

At this moment, as they walked over, the Imperial Academy Chancellor stopped in mid-air, looked up at the distant sky, and bowed his hands.

"Greetings, Human Emperor."

As soon as his voice came out, the students below were all shaken in their hearts, and the sky that the Imperial Academy Chancellor was looking at now churned, revealing a picture.

Inside the picture, the Human Emperor sat high, gazing here. Facing the Imperial Academy Chancellor's greeting, he stood up and returned the salute.

The reason for standing up to return the salute was not the etiquette for an elder; as the Human Emperor, he represented the human race and was already incomparably transcendent. The reason for standing up was respect.

Respect for the Imperial Academy Chancellor's contributions to the Imperial Academy over these years.

And under the Human Emperor, thirteen figures could be seen, and at this moment, they also stood up to return the salute.

Each figure emitted a terrifying aura. Xu Qing just took one look and clearly felt that it was... the fluctuation of the Hidden God stage.

Their identities were already self-evident.

The Heavenly Kings of the human race who remained in the Imperial Capital.

After the salute, the Human Emperor sat down, and the Heavenly Kings did the same.

At the same time, the Chancellor in mid-air of the Imperial Academy withdrew his gaze after a bow, looked at the Hetero-Immortal School and Fusion-God School Dao platforms, looked at the hundreds of thousands of students below, and revealed a kind smile.

"It has been a long time since I presided over and witnessed the Imperial Academy's Dao discussion."

"I am very gratified that in the Imperial Academy of our human race today, there is still Dao discussion appearing."

"Dao discussion is divided into three links: Heavenly Dao Discussion of Righteousness, Human Heart Discussion of Falsehood, and Morning and Evening Discussion of the Next Day."

"The final victory or defeat does not depend on the school, but on you."

The Imperial Academy Chancellor looked at the students on the earth and spoke slowly.

"Each of you possesses your own wisdom and choices. From now on, the recognition in your hearts is the victory or defeat of the Dao discussion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the next instant, on the Fusion-God School's Dao platform, a rainbow light rose to the sky, directly merging into the firmament. This light was brilliant, making the sky roar, and the momentum shook all eight directions.

This rainbow light came from the hearts of the students below.

And this scale and height were enough to prove the recognition of the Fusion-God School in the hearts of the students of the Imperial Academy.

Looking at the Hetero-Immortal School... there was rainbow light, but it was only three feet.

The difference between the two was clear at a glance, and the degree of disparity was as far as heaven and earth.

Looking at this scene, the various forces outside remained silent one after another.

There was even an uproar within the Imperial Academy.

Xu Qing's brows under the mask also wrinkled.

The Imperial Academy Chancellor in mid-air also shook his head slightly, but the Dao discussion still had to continue, so his hoarse voice echoed.

"Now, Heavenly Dao Discussion of Righteousness."

"All schools of our human race, before Dao discussion, their school's techniques and thoughts must be recognized by the Heavenly Dao to be qualified for Dao discussion."

"Among the Heavenly Daos of Wanggu, ninety-nine ancient ones are sleeping, and our human race finds it difficult to perceive them. But among the 100,000 Heavenly Daos of all sizes, three thousand Heavenly Daos gave blessings at the beginning of the establishment of our human Imperial Academy's Dao Altar. Therefore, this place is displayed, allowing these three thousand Heavenly Daos to perceive."

"If the Heavenly Dao does not recognize it, then the Dao discussion does not need to continue, indicating that your school still needs adjustment."

"So Hetero-Immortal School and Fusion-God School, you decide for yourselves whether to proceed."

On the black Dao platform, a faint laugh came from under the Fusion-God School Master's mask.

"Fusion-God students."

As soon as his words came out, the Fusion-God School students released their auras one after another, gathered together, and rose, conjuring a huge phantom in the sky.

This phantom was astonishingly tall, with three heads and six arms. Its whole body was pieced together by countless divine creatures, but it was a whole, forming an unparalleled aura.

Distorting the four directions, blurring the heavens and the earth, it was like a true god.

And as the Fusion-God School Master raised his head, this huge figure raised its right hand toward the firmament and squeezed it violently.

The void shattered, and the rumbling sound made the heavens and the earth shake. The Fusion-God School Master stood up and bowed to the sky.

"Please, Heavenly Dao, discuss righteousness."

The firmament was torn apart, appearing with cracks of all sizes. These cracks opened one after another, turning into eyes emitting coldness, looking at the Fusion-God School's phantom.

"Acceptable."

"Acceptable."

"Acceptable."

Sounds of the Great Dao echoed from all eight directions.

For a time, the students in the Imperial Academy were mostly excited, all parties were concentrating, and even the Imperial Academy Chancellor had deep meaning in his eyes and nodded lightly.

"Among the three thousand Heavenly Daos, two thousand one hundred and thirty-seven Heavenly Daos recognize it. This is great goodness!"

At the same time, the rainbow light of the Fusion-God Dao platform rose again, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The Fusion-God School Master on it bowed to the Imperial Academy Chancellor, then sat down, and looked at the Hetero-Immortal School Master.

The Hetero-Immortal School Master was silent. After a long while, he could only bite the bullet and stand up, releasing his own aura, and bowed to the sky.

"Please, Heavenly Dao, discuss righteousness..."

He said this sentence with no confidence.

In the crowd, Xu Qing looked at this scene, his gaze calm, and looked up at the firmament. ===== CHAPTER 750 =====
