Chapter 35: Return to White Roc Academy
The purpose of the Source Pool was to absorb and purify Source Energy, ultimately for personal use.
Zhang Xuan’s World could also purify Source Energy, deduce creation, and generate the great paths of the heavens and all living things.
One was a person, the other was a world.
They seemed entirely different but had the same function... utilizing Source Energy!
Since the Heaven's Path cultivation method couldn't locate the Source Pool, what if he used the New World as the Source Pool? Would it have the same effect?
It was possible!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan no longer hesitated. With a thought, he returned to the quiet room and reached out to the bronze lampstand not far away.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the newly formed mountain in the New World collapsed, turning back into Source Energy and converging into his palm.Huff!
The lampstand appeared in his palm, with five clear finger marks left on it as the rivers burned again.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He had transformed Heaven's Fate Energy into mountains and rivers to see if it could be burned and used like before. Now it seemed it really could.
This meant... the entire New World could indeed serve as his Source Pool!
"In that case, I've really struck it rich..."
Others could only hold a few streams, with the so-called First Grade having only 256 streams, while he...
Returning to the New World, he looked up at the vast expanse. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but clench his fists... This enormous world seemed to have an endless supply of Source Energy, with no limits!
However... if he continuously absorbed energy and caused turbulence, the beings within the world might not be able to endure it. He had to find a solution.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan raised his hands and his eyes, letting out a low shout, "Open!"
In an instant, the confined world was layered, with clear energy rising and turbid energy sinking. A more stable world appeared before him.
This was the method of creation, dividing the divine, immortal, and human realms.
Since the entire New World was crazily absorbing Source Energy and affecting its life forms, he needed to create a separate divine realm with no life to contain and refine Source Energy, using it as the Source Pool!
Watching the New World expand, filled with chaotic energy like a seed planted in the soil, small but full of potential, Zhang Xuan felt a surge of excitement.
This newly created "Source Pool" world, although insignificant compared to the entire New World, would significantly enhance his strength once he had enough Heaven's Fate Energy to solidify it, officially entering the ranks of Source Warriors.
"This newly created place will be called 'Xuan World'!"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan named it.
"With Xuan World, I can cultivate smoothly. It's time to bring them over..."
The "them" he referred to were his wife, Nie Lingxi, and his students, Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and others.
He didn't know the situation or dangers of the Source World before departing and told no one to avoid worrying them. Now that he had confirmed some things, he could find a way to bring them over.
And there was no need to take the dangerous path he had previously traveled. As long as he summoned them to the New World, he had the ability to bring them here.
But this was just a preliminary idea. He would wait until he had a solid foundation.
After all, he couldn't even support himself right now. Bringing more dependents would force him to sell himself...
Returning to the quiet room, he realized that the experiments had taken all night, and it was already the morning of the second Source Pool Assessment at the academy.
Knowing that the Source Pool needed purified Heaven's Fate Energy to stabilize, and that the academy's assessment was the best opportunity, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate and stepped out.
Previously, as Mo Yanxue's groom, he had managed to enter White Roc Academy smoothly and participated in the assessment. What identity should he use this time?
"Let's go check it out first. If all else fails, I'll find a way to sneak in..."
Unable to come up with a better plan, Zhang Xuan decided to take it step by step.
As he left the quiet room and headed towards White Roc Academy, Yu Xiaoyu and Mo Yanxue, who had been cultivating overnight, also opened their eyes simultaneously.
"How are you feeling?" Xiaoyu asked, her bright eyes filled with excitement as she looked at her friend.
"I absorbed eight streams of Heaven's Fate Energy to temper my body. If I take the assessment now, my speed of absorbing Source Energy will definitely be twice as fast as yesterday!" Mo Yanxue smiled.
The assessment involved absorbing Heaven's Fate Energy into the Source Pool to expand and stabilize it. Fearing it might affect their results, they had only absorbed the Heaven's Fate Energy into their bodies. Refining eight streams overnight was certainly an impressive feat.
"I only managed seven..." Xiaoyu pouted but quickly cheered up. "The assessment is about to start. With our training, our speed of absorbing Source Energy will definitely surpass others. We will stand out and surely impress the dean!"
Mo Yanxue nodded. Although she didn't know how talented the dean's chosen student was, her improved control over Heaven's Fate Energy after a night of hard work made her confident she would be the most dazzling one in the assessment.
As they left the library, they saw City Lord Yu Longqing waiting outside. He smiled when he saw them. "The carriage is ready. Let's go quickly, or we'll be late."
Xiaoyu's bells jingled as she led her friend into the carriage. Just before closing the curtain, she looked back in surprise. "Dad, are you coming with us?"
Yu Longqing was now mounted on a tall horse, clearly intending to accompany them.
The Source Pool assessment was essentially White Roc Academy's recruitment activity, not a big deal. Her father usually wouldn't even inquire about it. Why the sudden interest?
"Just have some free time, so I thought I'd check it out!" Yu Longqing smiled. "What, afraid your performance won't be good enough for me to see?"
Xiaoyu snorted, "Of course not! I will make you proud!"
The carriage moved slowly, and it wasn't long before they arrived at the academy gates. Just as they were about to enter, they saw Zhang Xuan being stopped by a teacher at the entrance.
"Only students participating in the assessment and their family members are allowed inside. Others are not permitted," the teacher frowned and waved dismissively.
"I want to take the assessment too..." Zhang Xuan frowned, ready to fabricate an identity, when he heard the City Lord's voice, "Let him in. This is Zhang Xuan; he is with us."
The teacher looked over and quickly bowed, not daring to object. "Yes, City Lord!"
"Thank you..." Zhang Xuan, surprised by the help, didn't say what he had planned. He quickly approached, bowed, and felt a surge of caution.
Had the City Lord discovered something about him by having him followed and now allowing him into the academy?
But he had always been very low-key...
No, he needed to be even more low-key later!
As Zhang Xuan made his decision, Yu Longqing smiled from a distance.
Since you're here, let's see how I'll expose your disguise later!
