Chapter 1682: Mr. Yuan of Jixia Academy, A New Sign-in Location

Within Jun Xiaoyao paused his steps and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

He discovered it was a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian robes.

His temperament was peaceful, deep as the ocean.

Looking at those Confucian robes and the aura of vast righteousness faintly radiating from his body,

the identity of this middle-aged man was self-evident.

He was precisely the Mr. Yuan from the Jixia Academy.

At the Jixia Academy, the status of a "Mr." was extraordinary; they were all mentor-level figures who educated all living things.

Even some heaven-defying disciples of major immortal forces had to show three parts of respect when facing a "Mr." after arriving at the Jixia Academy.

And this Mr. Yuan was the very one who had come to attend the birthday banquet of the Tantai Ancient Ancestor.

After the banquet ended,

he had specifically waited for Within Jun Xiaoyao to leave before appearing.

"Young Master Yunxiao, I am Mr. Yuan of the Jixia Academy."

Mr. Yuan bowed slightly to Within Jun Xiaoyao.

It could be said that this was very surprising.

A "Mr." from the Jixia Academy, even when traveling outside, was a figure respected by all eight directions.

Yet now, Mr. Yuan did not put on any airs, nor did he treat Within Jun Xiaoyao with the attitude of a senior.

It was clear that Within Jun Xiaoyao's performance at the banquet had left this mentor astonished, not daring to be presumptuous.

"So it is a Mr. from the Jixia Academy. Greetings. May I ask what the matter is?" Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

"Young Master Yunxiao, are you interested in my Jixia Academy?" Mr. Yuan smiled.

Within Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment before saying: "I do have some interest."

The smile on Mr. Yuan's face deepened, and he said:

"Young Master might not know, but my Jixia Academy rarely opens its mountain gates in ten thousand years."

"The reason is that the Black Calamity clans seem to be stirring again."

Hearing Mr. Yuan's words, Within Jun Xiaoyao felt a trace of surprise.

The Jixia Academy actually had a connection with the Black Calamity clans.

Seeming to see the surprise in Within Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, Mr. Yuan smiled.

"My Jixia Academy is the top institution of the Boundary Sea, educating all people."

"The reason we teach without discrimination, allowing any living being to enter, is to better cultivate a fresh force to resist the Black Calamity clans."

"My Jixia Academy not only houses the scriptures of ten thousand paths, but its unique aura of vast righteousness can also cause huge damage to the Black Calamity clans."

"Therefore, the Jixia Academy has always regarded resisting the Black Calamity clans as its mission."

Mr. Yuan's words truly surprised Within Jun Xiaoyao slightly.

At first, he was only interested in the Jixia Academy's aura of vast righteousness.

He had not expected that this aura would also have extra lethality against the Black Calamity clans.

This made Within Jun Xiaoyao even more interested.

Mr. Yuan continued: "So, my Jixia Academy is opening its mountain gates this time to deal with the future waves of the Black Calamity clans."

"And you, Young Master Yunxiao, have extraordinary talent. You are destined to become a top figure of the Boundary Sea, and you are destined to become a hero like your father."

"Back then, your father, Emperor Tianya, also studied at the Jixia Academy, so I am here to invite you, Young Master Yunxiao, to go to the Jixia Academy later."

"With your status and talent, Young Master, let alone becoming one of the Seventy-Two Sages, even becoming a True Transmission Sage would not be difficult."

Within Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered: "So my father also studied at the Jixia Academy."

"That is natural. Your father also had peerless talent back then. If he had stayed at the Jixia Academy, I fear he would have already become a Master-level figure," Mr. Yuan said.

And just as they were conversing,

a mechanical sound from the system came into Within Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed!"

"Please sign in at the Jixia Academy!"

Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged.

It seemed he would be able to obtain good things at the Jixia Academy again.

Now he couldn't not go.

"Good. Since that is the case, I naturally must go and see," Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

Seeing this, Mr. Yuan could not help but show a trace of joy in his eyes: "Haha, that is naturally for the best."

"When the time comes, Young Master, just come. I will introduce you; there is no need for any so-called entrance test."

Although the Jixia Academy taught without discrimination and living beings of all clans could join,

there were still entrance assessments.

And the entrance assessments were extremely strict.

Even disciples of immortal forces, and even some heaven-defying talents of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, had to participate in the assessment like everyone else to pass.

This could be said to be very rigid, not giving face to other forces.

But this was indeed the rule of the Jixia Academy.

As a Confucian institution, the Jixia Academy was very particular about rules and etiquette.

No matter how high one's status was, one could not violate the rules of the Jixia Academy.

And now, Mr. Yuan actually said he could help him waive the entrance assessment.

It could be said that this was giving Within Jun Xiaoyao immense face.

In the past, heaven-defying talents of the Eight Great Imperial Clans could never have received such noble treatment.

Hearing this, Within Jun Xiaoyao looked deeply at Mr. Yuan.

As if his intentions had been seen through, Mr. Yuan coughed lightly.

Indeed, his desperate invitation to Within Jun Xiaoyao was not without a purpose.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world.

Even for an institution as transcendent as the Jixia Academy, although it was a school, there were internal struggles between different factions.

At the Jixia Academy, the truly transcendent leaders were the Masters with profound cultivation and great prestige.

These Masters represented different factions.

For example, Mr. Yuan was a student of Master Yan.

And whenever the Jixia Academy recruited students,

heaven-defying talents would flock to the gates of the various Masters.

The more influential the heaven-defying talent who joined, the more it would boost the Master's reputation.

And Within Jun Xiaoyao's performance, without a doubt, had already shocked the world at the banquet.

Plus his status as the Young Master of the Yun Imperial Clan and the son of Emperor Tianya,

he could be said to be the top-tier existence of the Boundary Sea.

Such a heaven-defying talent was enough for the Jixia Academy to take the initiative to invite him to join.

And it would absolutely attract the attention of the various Masters.

And if he, Mr. Yuan, could pull Within Jun Xiaoyao into Master Yan's faction,

then Master Yan's reputation would undoubtedly skyrocket.

In the future, he might even become the next leader of the Jixia Academy, becoming the most honorable Saint Master.

Mr. Yuan's thoughts were naturally immediately known to Within Jun Xiaoyao, given his deep shrewdness.

But he did not feel any aversion to it.

Most of the time, relationships between people were based on utility; there was no right or wrong.

"Then I will have to trouble Mr. Yuan when the time comes," Within Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.

Although even without Mr. Yuan, given his status, the Jixia Academy would likely have waived his assessment anyway.

But since someone was taking the initiative to show favor, Within Jun Xiaoyao would not refuse.

Having received a positive answer, Mr. Yuan smiled and left, feeling satisfied.

On this side, Within Jun Xiaoyao also continued his return to the Yun Imperial Clan.

And after this, the various news from the birthday banquet spread like it had grown wings, reaching every world in the Boundary Sea.

Everyone knew that a truly brilliant new star had risen in the Boundary Sea.

Emperor Tianya was already a legendary figure of the Boundary Sea.

He was also the youngest gatekeeper in the No-Man's-Land.

And his offspring, not making a sound until he made a big one, had also amazed all living beings.

But what caused the most shock were the other Imperial Clans among the Eight Great Imperial Clans. ===== CHAPTER 1683 =====
