Chapter 42

After the students' shock faded, Feng Chutang continued, "The incident of two children of Qi-fortune in succession made the immortal sects that were always high above unable to sit still. In fact, there is a more important reason, which is that some immortal sects cared about their reputation and acted timidly, so they didn't circle much land. Other immortal sects didn't care about their eating appearance at all and circled a lot of land."

"In the end, the former couldn't receive a few good disciples for many years, while the latter had disciples like clouds, and their strength soared. Naturally, there were contradictions between them. Those who didn't circle the land demanded to re-divide the territory, while the immortal sects that occupied the land first naturally refused, so the two sides quarreled for a hundred years, during which they fought openly and secretly, and I don't know how many great powers fell because of this."

"By this time, several major immortal sects learned from their mistakes and felt that change was necessary. At this time, a strange person appeared, proposing the concept of sharing geniuses. Specifically, the cultivation seeds of the human domain should be shared by major sects, and a unified entrance examination should be held, striving not to bury every genius. Major sects are divided into three, six, and nine grades according to their strength, with upper-grade sects picking first, and lower-grade sects only having scraps."

Now the sect unified examination has been implemented for thousands of years. All the students sitting here have come up from the unified examination, and they are very familiar with the various regulations of the unified examination, and they all feel that it should be so. But hearing this secret history, they still feel that the strange person was incredible, and could have such a whimsical idea.

Feng Chutang smiled, "I also felt incredible when I knew this story back then. Geniuses can also be shared? Since ancient times, there is no such reason! As for public examination and public selection, it is even more unheard of. Guess, what is the origin of this strange person?"

"Reincarnation of an immortal?"

"A genius who doesn't come out?"

"Child of Qi-fortune?"

The students guessed one after another, but Feng Chutang just shook his head. After no one guessed, Feng Changqing said, "He actually came from another world, and in that world, this kind of practice is just common."

Including Little Wei Yuan, all the students were shocked. Someone couldn't help asking, "Are there other worlds?"

"Naturally there are, not only are there, but there are many. When you cultivate your magical powers, you will naturally know."

A girl said, "I know! That is the mind-reflection world of immortals, right?"

Feng Chutang shook his head: "No, that is a real world. Specifically, wait until you cultivate to Imperial Scenery and explore it yourself. By then, you will stand at a high place, and you will find that your vision will naturally expand a thousand times, and what you have seen and heard before is just a frog in the well."

A group of young boys and girls suddenly felt yearning. This world really has too many secrets waiting to be explored. With the nature of teenagers, they suddenly wished they could grow up immediately, so they could drive the wind and control the sword, and explore the endless world.

Feng Chutang continued to talk about the follow-up:

"Once this method came out, the immortal sects naturally agreed, and the small sects opposed it to no avail. It was just that after this, the sects fought for another hundred years for the sake of upper and lower grades and rankings. In short, they finally fought out a set of rules, so there was the Great Tang Immortal Sect's unified examination for accepting disciples, commonly known as the Immortal Gate Unified Examination. As for the sect grades, it is the set of immortal sects, cave heavens, blessed lands, and ordinary sects."

Little Wei Yuan asked, "What about the sects that haven't entered the system? Is it impossible to accept disciples forever?"

Feng Changqing nodded to Little Wei Yuan and said, "This is a good question. The solution was also proposed by that strange person, that is, those who can go up, those who are mediocre go down, and open up the upper and lower channels. Specifically, every hundred years, each sect is re-evaluated, the ranking is re-ordered, the lowest-ranked ones are demoted to the next level, and the lowest-ranked sects among the fourth-grade sects will be kicked out of the unified examination system, replaced by other small sects with strength. In this way, those small sects with rapid development can enter the unified examination system. Small sects outside the system have hope, and what they think about is joining the system, not rebelling."

"In fact, that strange person proposed this method when he proposed the sect unified examination, but the major immortal sects at that time were used to being high above, thinking about thousands of years, ruling the rivers and lakes forever, and no one was willing to have newcomers join to share a cup of soup. It was not until a hundred years later that the sects gradually fought out of anger, and the casualties increased day by day, that they re-thought of this set of rules."

At this time, class was over, so Feng Chutang said, "After you go back, write an article on the gains and losses of this set of rules. If you have better ideas, you can also write them down. Hand them in next time. If you finish early, you can also put them directly in my Council Hall. When I come, I will naturally read them."

A girl suddenly stood up and asked, "Sir, Master Sister Liuli said that cultivators must be able to fight. Are you also very good at fighting?"

Feng Chutang smiled, "I teach history. In the mortal world, I am a weak scholar who can't even hold a chicken. I am not good at fighting and killing."

The next day, it was Master Sister Liuli's Dao Foundation class again.

The first lesson, Seeing Ji Liuli outlined the basic common sense of Dao Foundation cultivation and the six general cultivation methods. From this lesson on, it was the real cultivation class.

All students were divided into six groups according to their different cultivation methods. There were only Behind Bao Yun and another boy who had received the founder's grace who chose the "Jade Toad Gazing at the Moon Map" like Little Wei Yuan. This person's surname was Cui, name Yu, and he was a disciple of the Cui family, a famous family in the world.

The "Jade Toad Gazing at the Moon Map" has very harsh requirements for one's own Qi-fortune, and the advantage is that it can enhance the foundation, but the disadvantage is that there is nothing else besides that. The other five cultivation methods also have their own strengths, and the requirements are not so harsh, so those who choose the "Jade Toad Gazing at the Moon Map" have always been the fewest.

Xiao Yu also has great Qi-fortune, but he had long planned his Dao path and didn't choose the "Jade Toad Gazing at the Moon Map," but chose the "Great Sun Holding Sword Book," which is the first in killing among the six techniques.

After grouping, everyone cultivated by themselves, and Seeing Ji Liuli sat high on the lecture platform, overlooking the whole field.

At this time, Wei Yuan had already taken the second Heavy-Building Sea-Stabilizing Pill, and the range of the visualization map exceeded three zhang. But in fact, after deducting the effect of the pill, the actual visualization map was only two zhang five chi.

Little Wei Yuan had been cultivating for nearly half a month, and this speed could not be called fast at all, and it was incomparable with the geniuses recorded in the data. However, Little Wei Yuan also discovered one thing, that is, after the Master Sister washed and refined his root bone last time, the visualization map that had expanded actually shrank by half a chi. Although the range of the visualization map was small, the texture was significantly improved.

Cultivation cannot be achieved overnight, and Little Wei Yuan naturally understood this truth, so he didn't care about the specific progress, and spat and swallowed moon brilliance at a fixed time every day.

The shadow in the full moon was always there, never moving. Wisps of black Qi constantly entered Little Wei Yuan's body with the moon brilliance. As the black Qi inhaled increased, Little Wei Yuan's speed of spitting and swallowing moon brilliance was also slowly increasing.

Seeing Ji Liuli overlooked the whole field, and occasionally awakened a student with problems from the cultivation, gave pointers, and then practiced again.

A lesson passed quickly, and the chime awakened all the students from forgetting both themselves and the objects. Cui Yu, who was sitting not far from Little Wei Yuan, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master Sister, I have completed the visualization map."

Seeing Ji Liuli walked over, her pupils turned cyan, looked for a while, and nodded, "Six-zhang Gazing at the Moon Map, the strange phenomenon is close to top-grade, quite good! You can start Body Forging."

Cui Yu was praised and was particularly happy. He looked at Seeing Ji Liuli with eager eyes and asked, "Can I forge an immortal foundation?"

Seeing Ji Liuli shook her head and said, "Heaven-rank is promising, but immortal foundation depends on opportunity. Your root bone is only eight chi, which is a bit of a drag. After going back, you must let your family find a way to collect more heavenly materials, earthly treasures, immortal pills, and precious medicines that can improve your aptitude, so that you can stabilize the heaven-rank. You must not be stingy in this regard."

Cui Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, rest assured! If my Cui family lacks resources, then there is no family in the world that is rich!"

Behind Bao Yun rolled her eyes.
