The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 536: Chapter 484: The Opening of the Taoist Academy

There was no need to trouble two leaders. Pei Xuanjing, given that he was deeply entwined in cooperation, did not mind a little more. So he took the initiative to ask the other party for some methods of refining in the Sky Wasteland, also asking whether there were methods to forge divine treasures and artefacts.

Once Pei Xuanjing stated his purpose, Mr. Wu instantly understood what Pei Xuanjing intended to do.

“Honestly speaking, I am curious about the True One, to have thought up such a way to use the Power of Incense Fire,” he said.

Such a strong person like him was very clear about the drawbacks of the Power of Incense Fire. Even with the Incense Fire God Refining Skill, he didn’t cultivate it because he was wary of its erosion.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s method also served as considerable enlightenment to him, instantly making him think of many ways to reduce the erosion of Divine Position.

They discussed passionately for a long while, and Pei Xuanjing obtained what he wanted and returned to the Taoist Temple.

In the following days, everything proceeded as usual, and besides the martial artists gathering around the Imperial City Tiandu, nothing major happened.

Even the forces controlled by those who had returned from the Sky Wasteland, which Bai Xiaosheng had discovered, were very peaceful; nothing unusual occurred.

A year later, after a total of three years, the Taoist Academy outside the capital city of Tiandu was finally completed. Constructed along the mountains, it was large and equipped with all kinds of facilities. It even resembled a small city itself.

On the day of the Taoist Academy’s completion, Pei Xuanjing came out from seclusion and joined the Emperor who emerged from the Imperial City, and several senior officials and nobles of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Together, they participated in the ceremony of the Taoist Academy’s completion.

On the same day, Pei Xuanjing personally announced the commencement of the selection of the Taoist Academy students. According to the original plan, Deng Zhong would be the chief examiner, selecting suitable students to enter the Taoist Academy.

During the three-month selection process, Pei Xuanjing would occasionally appear, hiding his identity to mingle among the examiners, observing whether there were any particularly outstanding talents.

The rest of the time, he was looking back on the third-grade Pseudo Grandmasters cultivating the Seed Intent Method.

These people, after more than a year of grinding, saw an initial approximate halving in the number who held Pei Xuanjing’s sword intent, quickly dropping to less than twenty people.

And among these nearly twenty, seven or eight had refined the sword intent by around sixty percent in this year alone. Using this opportunity, they had not only condensed Blood Qi Wolf Smoke, but further stepped into the Second-Class Martial Arts realm, condensing a Blood Qi Smelting Furnace.

Although this was partly due to Pei Xuanjing’s personal care, and the resources of the Sect being used, their determination and patience were indispensable.

The rest, who accounted for the majority, likewise condensed Blood Qi Wolf Smoke and remedied their own deficiencies, becoming genuine third-grade Grandmaster strong men.

Such results were enough to prove the success of Pei Xuanjing’s ‘Seed Intent Method’.

The first method he deduced also made considerable progress. He left Martial Art intent imprints along with several martial artists from the Shenxiao Sect in the Taoist Temple. Fourth-grade martial artists studied and learned from these day and night, with several of them succeeding in comprehending Martial Art intent and stepping into the Grandmaster realm. This success rate was more than triple the previous one.

It can be said that as soon as this news was disseminated, all the martial artists in the world cheered in shock, especially those Pseudo Grandmasters of the Third-Class and Fourth-Class martial artists. Pei Xuanjing’s move undoubtedly paved a new path for them, offering them an opportunity to start over.

With such a virtuous and wise man like him presiding over the Taoist Academy, the competition for seats in the academy became even more intense.

The selection of Taoist Academy students, after three months, finally came to an end.

On the first day after the new students entered the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing announced his decision. The academy would implement a rule: a contribution points system.

Within the Taoist Academy, contribution points were omnipotent. Any martial arts in the Scripture Pavilion, elixirs, divine weapons, or the need for instruction from a teacher could be acquired with enough contribution points.

Furthermore, if enough contribution points were spent, aside from getting normal classes, they could even request instruction from the Taoist Academy’s National Teacher, Pei Xuanjing.

When Pei Xuanjing announced these rules, the academy’s students were extremely excited, while unsuccessful martial artists were filled with regret.

However, all was now set in stone, so they could only bide their time, waiting for the next enrollment of the academy in three years.

Many homeless martial artists simply settled down near the academy and cultivated diligently. After all, the academy announced that every month, the academy would have an instructor give a public discourse once, which would be open for all to attend, regardless of status.

Initially, these instructors were somewhat unwilling to give public discourses, but when Pei Xuanjing mentioned that they could earn contribution points from every public discourse, the instructors became eager to take up the task. They even argued over it.

According to the current rules, contribution points were truly valuable within the academy. They could virtually be exchanged for anything as long as the academy had it and the corresponding points were paid.

Of course, this was just the first step in Pei Xuanjing’s plan. What he needed now was to circulate the contribution points and have the martial artists accept them, so that he could gradually extend it to the entire world.

To the Great Ming Divine Dynasty or others, these contribution points might become a tool, a means to control the world. But to Pei Xuanjing, this was secondary.

What Pei Xuanjing needed was not control over the world, but to seize the opportunity to execute his own plan, involving everyone and encouraging them to strive, providing more possibilities for his own reflection through their wisdom.

With the establishment of the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing firstly lectured for all the students of the academy and then held a public discourse, inviting all to attend.

A year later, once everything was on track, Pei Xuanjing began his next life simulation.

He was looking forward to this life simulation because, with his current realm, if he could enhance his strength through life simulation, he would have a larger say in the coming Great World.

[Taoyun: 6759435 points.]

[Use the Life Simulator? One use requires 5000000 points of Taoyun.]

“Yes!”

[Simulation Life starts: …]
