Chapter 870: Taishang Forgetting Emotions, Great Evolution Divine Calculation (Second update, requesting all)

In the bedroom, Li Zhangsheng closed his eyes, carefully sensing the unfamiliar memories sealed deep within his Consciousness Sea.

The figure of the memory's owner was an old man with white hair and beard; he was not tall, his eyes were full of kindness, and he gave one the feeling of being profoundly learned.

Li Zhangsheng had seen this figure on the gilded statue standing in the center of the entrance to Yuanling Academy; this was precisely the image of the first Principal.

The first Principal was named Liu Detu, who had passed away nearly two hundred years ago at the age of 265.

In his youth, Liu Detu was a famous Heavenly Pride; he became a Pseudo-King before the age of thirty, and ultimately became a King when his natural lifespan was nearing its end.

When the first Principal became a King, the Langya Kingdom had not even been established yet; he and the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong belonged to the same generation and were also close friends.

At that time, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong had not yet become a Double-Character King; feeling that subsequent resources were insufficient, he joined forces with his two friends and fellow Kings, Liu Detu and Wang Kai, to establish the Langya Kingdom.

After the Langya Kingdom was established, the strongest, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, naturally became the Emperor, Wang Kai established the Royal Academy, and Liu Detu established the Yuanling Academy.

At that time, the Langya Kingdom only had the territory of one province, and the Yuanling Academy was still located in Yecheng, having not yet moved to Peng City in Yuan Province.

The three Kings were relatively close to each other back then, but after the Langya Kingdom was founded, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong naturally wanted to advance further, so he secretly withheld a portion of the other two Kings' resources and began to cultivate the then-not-yet-King, Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

Liu Detu was indignant at the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong's character and often argued with the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong over this matter, naturally creating conflict and a rift between the two sides.

Wang Kai was more forbearing and did not argue with the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong like Liu Detu did.

This situation continued until the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong became a Double-Character King, and the Langya Kingdom expanded to the territory of three provinces and one capital; only then did Liu Detu move the Yuanling Academy to Peng City in Yuan Province.

Liu Detu was obsessed with books and spent most of his time reading various texts, which also made him the most famous scholar in the Langya Kingdom.

However, Liu Detu did not provide much help to the development of the Yuanling Academy; in order to collect more books, he had always let several Vice Principals manage it on his behalf, acting entirely like a hands-off manager.

It was for this reason that the Yuanling Academy was always suppressed by the Royal Academy, until the arrival of Li Zhangsheng, which allowed the Yuanling Academy to break the Royal Academy's blockade and become the premier Academy.

It took a full two or three hours for Li Zhangsheng to finish reading through Liu Detu's memories for the first time.

The harvest from a King's inheritance is naturally not insignificant, especially from a scholar-type King like Liu Detu, whose knowledge and experience were exceptionally rich.

The harvest seemed identical to that of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, yet there were significant differences; the most important being that the first Principal's inheritance was complete, unlike Spirit King Liu Yongtu's, which had missing memories.

In addition to rich combat experience and knowledge, the first Principal also had his own unique insights into training Demon Pets and combat; these could be combined with those of the Flame King Di Zhiyi and Spirit King Liu Yongtu, perhaps allowing for the summary of a more effective method.

Among these inheritances, there was also a complete special training method called "Meditation Training Method," which allowed Demon Pets to undergo a special set of Meditation methods; if trained over a long period, it could enhance their resistance to mental and soul-based attacks.

Besides the special training method, there were also a large number of Demon Taming Arts and Secret Techniques.

Among them was a top-tier Demon Taming Art called "Taishang Forgetting Emotions," which was a top-tier Demon Taming Art on par with the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," and the two seemed to have some connection.

Most importantly, this "Taishang Forgetting Emotions" Demon Taming Art could be cultivated to the seventh level, representing the ability to reach the King stage, so its value could be imagined.

"The number of Secret Techniques mastered by the first Principal is simply too high."

After roughly finishing his look at the Secret Techniques mastered by the first Principal, Li Zhangsheng was quite dumbfounded.

Compared to the "few" Demon Taming Arts, the number of Secret Techniques mastered by the first Principal reached four digits; although most were low-to-mid-level Secret Techniques, the quantity was simply too high.

However, the Yuanling Academy already possessed most of these Secret Techniques, but there were inevitably some omissions; if the missing Secret Techniques were exchanged with the Academy, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of Academic Credit.

Li Zhangsheng could only sigh that the first Principal was worthy of being the most famous scholar in the Langya Kingdom back then.

However, when Li Zhangsheng saw the introduction to a top-tier Secret Technique, a look of joy could not help but appear on his face.

The first Principal mastered a total of three top-tier Secret Techniques: the Earth-Listening Secret Technique, the Law of Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, and the Great Evolution Divine Calculation.

Among them, he had handed the Earth-Listening Secret Technique and the Law of Heaven and Earth Secret Technique to the Academy, but kept only the Great Evolution Divine Calculation, because he knew very well that if he gave it to the Academy, the Imperial Family would definitely be able to obtain it.

Great Evolution Divine Calculation: A top-tier Secret Technique that uses the target's hair, flesh, or personal belongings to calculate the target's location. Note: The more of the target's Qi one captures, the more accurate the calculation success rate will be.

This was an auxiliary tracking-type top-tier Secret Technique; although it could not increase combat power, its efficacy was exceptionally powerful. Most importantly, it had no distance limitations, which was no wonder the first Principal did not donate it to the Academy but instead used it as the Spirit Origin Inheritance.

Tracking-type Secret Techniques were already rare, let alone top-tier tracking-type Secret Techniques; in terms of value alone, it absolutely far exceeded the Law of Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, which was also a top-tier Secret Technique.

If used in conjunction with treasures like the Seven Luminaries Heaven-Patrolling Incense and the Soul-Chasing Manikin, it would surely be able to exert even greater efficacy.

Besides these, as the most famous scholar, the first Principal naturally knew a large amount of secrets; his accumulation in this area could be said to far exceed that of Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

The only pity was that these secrets were at least a hundred years old, and most could only be read as strange tales and anecdotes.

Of course, there was also information useful to Li Zhangsheng, such as news about the "Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions" Demon Taming Art he had been struggling to find.

The "Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions" belonged to the Pseudo-Top-tier Demon Taming Arts and could allow one to cultivate to the Double-Character King stage, which showed its preciousness.

From the information, the Mu Family of the Lihuo Kingdom possessed this Demon Taming Art; given the rank of the "Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions," it was highly likely their most important Demon Taming Art, and they would not easily hand it over.

"It's just that the distance is a bit far!"

Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself; the Lihuo Kingdom was located in the Northwest Region, in the completely opposite direction to the Langya Kingdom, and the distance was at least tens of thousands of kilometers. Furthermore, this was the straight-line distance passing through Forbidden Lands like the Monopoly Mountain Range; taking a detour would undoubtedly be even further.

Most importantly, the Mu Family was also a King Family with a long history, and they had even produced a Double-Character King.
