Chapter 377: Yun Ling Academy

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In Untainted Land, the Humans and Demons had always been enemies. Even in other worlds, they did not see eye to eye. But in here, the barrier seemed to have broken down, which was refreshing to Minghe. However, the person that really cared would be Selfcentric Separation Musen, rather than Minghe.

Minghe speculated that the hidden man was protecting the seven juniors, whose cultivations were all below the Origin. The seven people seemed to be doing fieldwork. As long as Minghe kept following them, he could naturally discover some Creatures to provide some useful information for him.

In the passageway, the seven people killed a dozen beasts and hid the corpses. Then, they cleaned up the scene, wiped the blood off of them, and left soon afterward. The sounds of fighting and the smell of blood could easily attract other beasts. If one of the beasts was an Ominous Beast of Chaos, they would be in trouble.

One of the females from the Demon Tribe said to the male leader from the Human Tribe, "You’ve made great progress, senior brother Xu. You killed a Sage-to-be beast in just a few strikes." The female from the Demon Tribe had a curvy body and a charming face, and she looked at the man tenderly.

The man could not help smirking. "Haha, I was just enlightened. When the fieldwork is over, I will return to Closed Door Meditation to break through to the Middle Stage of the Sage-to-be Realm. I have to be on the Hidden Genius List!" The man seemed to be enthusiastic about that list because his eyes had just flashed.

The other people also admired him. The man named Xu said to them with a smile, "Don’t envy me now. You just keep practicing, one day you’ll all break through. Especially you, junior sister Gu, you’ll soon enter the Hidden Genius List with your talents."

The man was talking to the female of the Demon Tribe, who was originally a Moon Spirit Celestial Fox. A Celestial Fox was a special species even in the Fox Tribe because they could absorb the essence of the moonlight. Normally, a Moon Spirit Celestial Fox was bound to break through to the Zenith Heaven Realm.

The seven of them marched slowly in the mountains, as did their protector. But none of them knew about the presence of Minghe. He was just listening to them. Though the information they disclosed in conversations was little, he did not want to alert them yet due to the bad timing.

Minghe followed them the entire way until the moon rose into the sky. The seven people found a flat space, set up a tactical formation, and then meditated. So did the expert at the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, still protecting them in secret. But, the night was still dangerous even under their tactical formation.

It was in the heat of the night, but Minghe did not plan to kill them. He could do it anytime if he had wanted. Now he wanted to acquire useful information from their minds, especially from the experienced man’s mind.

As the middle-aged man sat cross-legged in his tactical formation, his Spiritual Thoughts were scanning nearby in case of any danger. Although here in the mountains there were no beasts in the Zenith Heaven Realm, he still wanted to make sure that the juniors were 100% safe, especially the junior named Xu and the junior named Gu.

The man was in the heat of his cultivation and suddenly his Original Spirit was put into a trance. He woke up to check, only to find everything normal. No Creature lurked nearby, and the teenagers were still in peaceful cultivation. Thus, he did not have a clue about what happened.

Minghe smirked, hiding in the nearby hills because he had just tricked the expert. No one at the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm would easily go into a trance. It was Minghe who did that to him. But, Minghe simply took the chance to read their minds. The middle-aged man could not find anything no matter how suspicious he was.

Minghe was able to read their minds easily. But to keep a low profile, he especially used a herbal medicine to put the man into a trance, then he took their memories. Otherwise, the Secondary Stage Zenith Heaven Realm expert would have noticed Minghe’s tricks.

After reading their minds, Minghe sorted out the useful data, which gained him more knowledge about the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, especially the knowledge of where he was right now. There was also data about what authority the eight people belonged to.

It turned out that the eight people came from the same place called Yun Ling Academy, which was the largest authority around. It even built Lingdu City based on the local Spiritual Pulse, recruiting people of cultivation from every region. Finally, it became the top authority in this place.

Nobody knew when Yun Ling Academy had come into being and neither did they care about it. Everyone who joined it wanted its cultivation resources because it owned 80% of the local resources. Thus, if you wanted abundant resources, you had best join Yun Ling Academy.

Naturally, the other reason was for safety. Though it was wide and broad here, danger still lurked. For all the tribes, their biggest enemy was the Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Therefore, all the tribes competed, but at the same time, cooperated.

Once you met an Ominous Beast of Chaos here, you had to fight hard. Moreover, in the Medium Layer, shapeshifting Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Fate Realm resided. They took a liking to killing, often attacking people’s places. If Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Fate Realm attacked, no people except for Fate Realm experts could block them.

In this area, most of the Fate Realm experts belonged to Yun Ling Academy. First, Lingdu City was under a super Formation in case of Ominous Beasts of Chaos attacking. Second, the Secondary Stage world of Lingdu City could hold countless Creatures. Therefore, most of the people of cultivation moved into Lingdu City.

But living in Lingdu City did not mean you were in Yun Ling Academy. First, you had to pay some fees in order to live there because, after all, they could not protect you for free. Second, if you wanted to join Yun Ling Academy, you needed to pass some tests, and then you would receive their benefits.

In Yun Ling Academy, the most famous expert was the dean, Venerable Linghao. Venerable Linghao practiced the Tao of Confucianism, and was said to have entered the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm ages ago and then went into Closed Door Meditation afterward. Apart from him, there were seven expert Elders at the Early Stage of the Fate Realm. They also handled the daily affairs of Yun Ling Academy.

Actually, Minghe was not interested in Yun Ling Academy. He could easily reach the Fate Realm with his present cultivation. The only one that needed taking care of was Venerable Linghao. Minghe took the other seven people lightly because even if the seven people attacked him together, he could walk away unharmed.

What Minghe was interested in was the library, where books on transforming exercises, tactical formations, refining elixir, refining weapons, and Magic Skills were stored. Minghe needed them the most. But to enter the library, Minghe had to join Yun Ling Academy. Other than that, the library had been divided into eight floors, and every floor was open to people with a certain cultivation and status.

The first floor represented a cultivation of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. The remaining seven floors represented Sage-to-be, the Early Stage of the Zenith Heaven, the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven, the Late Stage of the Zenith Heaven, the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, the Half Fate, and finally the Fate Realm. Apart from the cultivation, Minghe needed contributions, a rewards system in the academy.

In order to enter the library, it seemed that Minghe had to start by joining Yun Ling Academy. After all, there were lots of experts. If confronted with the seven Elders and the dean, Minghe could only manage to escape with a nasty fight.

But, Minghe would not be a disciple. Even if he could pretend well, he just would not. Thus, Minghe could be a teacher of Skill-imparting, Magic Skills, refining elixir, or refining weapons. He chose to be a weapon-refining teacher.
