Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1900: Chapter 2: The Prophecy Fulfilled, Scholar City!

"Since the new generation, Academic City has almost never been affected by war, as each major force donates to it every epoch, and it has always maintained peace."

Zhao Xing asked curiously, "Uncle Master, has Ancient Hill ever repaired Academic City? Its scale should have expanded quite a lot since the new generation, right?"

"No." Lord Lu Shan shook his head, "Scholars just can’t fight, but it doesn’t mean they can’t cast spells."

"So the expansion of Academic City can be completed by themselves."

Zhao Xing nodded.

If it weren’t for the invisible restrictions of the universe, scholars with such talents should be omnipotent!

Not like priests who rely on simulating various professions and borrowing divine power.

The birth of scholars is not formed after birth, but chosen by heaven.

This means if born with the scholar’s talent, one can become a scholar. Later cultivation cannot make someone a scholar.

Scholars only have one chance to fight in their lives. Once they strike, their lifespan quickly drains away, dying in a short time, and their true spirit decays, leaving no chance of reincarnation.

Even when a scholar advances to demigod, there’s no need for reincarnation to strengthen the true spirit. In fact, reincarnation is just a common way to strengthen the true spirit, not a necessary course.

"The Human Clan has scholars, and the Demon Race also has scholars, but the numbers are not large. It’s accumulated over time that they increase."

"Almost every scholar can reach the Tao Domain, with fewer reaching the Reincarnation Realm, but still much more than other professions," Lord Lu Shan explained, "As for the most concentrated place of the Reincarnation Realm, it should be Academic City."

"Has there ever been a Divine Level scholar in history?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Never heard of it." Lord Lu Shan shook his head, "It’s said scholars can’t become gods, unless a scholar can unlock the ninth Law Realm and comprehend all the knowledge within."

"But this is just a rumor, the elders of Academic City are not sure if the ninth Law Realm exists, after all, even the eighth Law Realm is entered by only a handful of scholars."

"The current Great Elder Wisdom Heart is only a Seven Realms Scholar."

"Bo Wei is the next Great Elder, he has good hope of entering the Eighth Realm, this time Wisdom Heart is in seclusion, Bo Wei is managing the daily operations of Academic City, and there’s news that Bo Wei has been able to enter the eighth Law Realm, but this news is not yet finalized, we’ll have to wait for official confirmation."

"I hope he can unlock the eighth Law Realm." Lord Lu Shan hoped, "If Bo Wei opens the eighth Law Realm, you have great hope of surviving."

"I hope so too." Zhao Xing nodded.

Besides Wei Tianchen, Bo Wei is the second man capable of detoxifying this poison.

In his previous life, Zhao Xing heard of a survival case, not the one recorded in Academic City’s ancient books, it was a martial artist who endured with his physical body for a long time and was ultimately saved by Bo Wei. Hence, knowing Academic City can detoxify this poison.

"Uncle Master, I am a bit tired." Suddenly, Zhao Xing expressed his desire to rest.

"Alright, you get some rest, Uncle Master will come to see you again soon." Lord Lu Shan quickly withdrew, allowing Zhao Xing’s residual spirit to rest.

After Lord Lu Shan left, Zhao Xing’s residual spirit entered a dream.

In the dream, a scene of green mist swirling appeared, a stone platform, and two chairs emerged.

Qing Yu Zi appeared.

"Master, you finally arrived."

"Sit down." Qing Yu Zi said, "I warned you earlier, Ancient Doctor Tianchen is a lunatic, entangling with him will lead to trouble, and now it seems to have come true."

"Luckily, you practiced the first stage of ’Reincarnation’, preserving a bit of residual spirit, otherwise you might not have a chance to speak with me now."

"Yes, disciple is reflecting."

"A fall into the pit, a gain in knowledge, you can understand this, it’s not too late." Qing Yu Zi said.

"Even when I attained the God Realm, I maintained a heart of reverence."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands, "Disciple will remember this, but I am willing to take risks next time."

Qing Yu Zi was a bit stunned, "You call this reflection?"

Zhao Xing laughed, "It’s all about the result, if it succeeds, I’m bold but cautious, if it fails, it’s ignorance leading to death."

"Disciple believes his path of cultivation has been cautious enough, the current situation is indeed not due to my wrongdoing, but fate."

"People cannot give up due to fear, wasn’t Master’s opportunity to become divine also fought for?"

"Did Master foresee his progress to the God Realm?"

Qing Yu Zi recalled somewhat, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Indeed, before devising the plan, I had about a twenty percent confidence in reaching the God Realm. As I progressed, I found my chances growing."

"From my perspective, with a twenty percent chance for the God Realm, it’s worth a fight."

"Things without risk often mean little reward."

The two quickly moved on from this topic.

"Zhao Xing, right now your situation is both dangerous and safe," Qing Yu Zi began to address the main issue, "I predict, in your journey with Ancient Doctor Tianchen, you won’t face life-threatening danger."

"Because I have been in the God Realm for over four thousand years, and in the ’Intervention Sect’ of Reincarnation Temple I have established a foothold, gaining some core rights. For instance, driving a Fate Master close to the God Realm."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"Wei Tianchen should have mentioned the ’Cause and Effect War’, the Fate Master I drive also participated in that battle, gaining the upper hand, you currently face no life-threatening danger."

"But being safe now doesn’t mean being safe in the future."

"Does Master mean my journey to Academic City is risky?" Zhao Xing asked. "Did the Bo Wei Scholar participate in the ’Cause and Effect War’?"

"No danger," Qing Yu Zi said, "Academic City participated, but they should have inadvertently got involved, Bo Wei genuinely wants to save you."
