Chapter 889: Chapter 571: Confucian Sect Convention! (4K)_2

“Yes, indeed.”

Several ancestors nodded in agreement.

“What exactly is the origin of Ziyang Academy? Why is there so little recorded about it in the archives?”

Lu Changsheng had browsed through many of the ancient texts of Mount Taihua Sacred Land but hadn’t heard much about Ziyang Academy.

However, judging from the attitude of the Jiang Family Ancestor, Ziyang Academy was a place even he revered.

Jiang Hong, a Greatly Accomplished God-King renowned on the Divine King Ranking, revered it, so it certainly was not weak.

Jiang Hong narrated: “It is normal for you not to have heard of it. A million years ago, Ziyang Academy changed its name. Its original name was Longchuan School Palace, located within the territory of the Immortal Dynasty, a Confucian Holy Land. Even the Immortal Dynasty has to pay considerable respect to Ziyang Academy.”

“So it changed its name, no wonder…”

Lu Changsheng let out a wry smile.

He had wondered why the Ziyang Academy, where his third disciple Mo Huazhi was studying, seemed to have no reputation, only to discover that it was actually the Confucian Holy Land, Longchuan School Palace.

Longchuan School Palace was one of the ancient sects from antiquity, coexisting with Heavenly Sect.

Heavenly Sect was considered a Holy Land of the Sword Dao, gathering countless Sword Dao geniuses from the Lower Realm, unmatched in prominence, hence Longchuan School Palace couldn’t compare with them.

But this didn’t mean that Longchuan School Palace wasn’t strong.

It was simply because the main power in the Immortal Realm centered around Daoist Sects, with the Buddhist and Confucian Sects being weaker in comparison. Since the Confucian Holy Land wasn’t limited to just Longchuan School Palace, it couldn’t be compared with Heavenly Sect, which had almost all the Sword Dao geniuses from the Lower Realm at the time.

Later, with the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty, which suppressed the very heart of the Immortal Realm, Longchuan School Palace relocated inside the Immortal Dynasty, complementing it.

Although Longchuan School Palace was situated within the Immortal Dynasty, due to its extraordinary status and a heritage comparable to a Holy Land, the Immortal Dynasty dared not meddle in the internal affairs of Longchuan School Palace.

Longchuan School Palace, now known as Ziyang Academy, essentially held the same status as the Immortal Dynasty, which had many civil officials with extremely high cultivation levels hailing from Ziyang Academy.

Many texts from Mount Taihua Sacred Land were too ancient, so they only mentioned Longchuan School Palace and not Ziyang Academy.

The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan sighed: “The masters at Ziyang Academy possess Magnificent Righteous Qi and unfathomable cultivation. Your disciple hasn’t taken one as her mentor, has she?”

“Very likely.”

The system’s simulated description was, [Mo Huazhi attends the Confucian Sect conference with a master from Ziyang Academy], so it is quite possible that the mentor saw potential in Mo Huazhi’s Confucian talent and took her as a direct disciple.

The system-certified disciples all possess incredibly rebellious talent.

Mo Huazhi, with the Body of the Literary Sage and a temperament suited for practicing Confucian Sect Skills, being taken as a direct disciple by the master, in Lu Changsheng’s view, meant that the master had struck a bargain.

There were no mediocrities among Lu Changsheng’s disciples.

“You say one of your disciples has been taken as a student by the master?”

The Jiang Family Ancestor, Patriarch Ye, and others all widened their eyes in shocked disbelief.

They thought Lu Changsheng’s former disciple joining Ziyang Academy was already quite talented, but to be taken as a student by the master!

“Is the master very formidable?”

Lu Changsheng pondered that the Saint Lord of Mount Taihua Sacred Land was held by the relatively younger Lin Xuantong, and the strongest ancestors of Mount Taihua Sacred Land all secluded themselves in the back mountain for cultivation, not easily emerging into the world. Therefore, the master from Ziyang Academy probably wasn’t the strongest in Ziyang Academy, possibly just a Divine King Realm expert.

Lu Changsheng himself was already a ninth-rank Divine King, so he did not fear other Divine King Realm experts as much.

Of course, the top one hundred experts on the Divine King Ranking were still extremely strong, with cultivation levels close to that of Great Experts, and held a relatively high probability of killing Lu Changsheng.

Under careful guard by a Greatly Accomplished God-King, the Storm Pear Flower Needles had almost no chance of hitting them, while the Mountain and Rivers Chart and Soul Subduing Bell were only for defense.

The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor wryly responded: “Other Holy Lands might just promote the most prominent of the younger generation as Saint Lord, but at Ziyang Academy, the master has always been the headmaster. He’s an ancient being that has lived from the distant past to the present, and you must not underestimate him.”

Ancient Great Power?!

Lu Changsheng was inwardly shocked.

Sure enough, the Immortal Realm was a place where dragons hid and tigers crouched; countless geniuses had been born over billions of years.

The strongest figure in Ziyang Academy didn’t have a resounding nickname, just an unremarkable title of Master, yet he was an Ancient Great Power!

Yang Qing, also an Ancient Great Power, was the formidable guardian of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

The strength of Master was absolutely terrifying.

Mo Huazhi, after undergoing tribulation and ascending to the Immortal Realm, failed to meet Lu Changsheng, joined Ziyang Academy, and was taken as a Direct Disciple by Master – her luck is also commendable.

Ancient Great Powers have experienced countless mortal partings and deaths. The vast majority of their disciples have perished in the river of time, with the older generation sending off the younger. Therefore, these Ancient Great Powers do not take on disciples lightly unless they come across a suitable one, and the candidate must also possess the potential for immortality.

Therefore, when Lu Changsheng mentioned that Mo Huazhi had become a disciple of Master, all the Elder Ancestors of Mount Taihua Sacred Land were greatly taken aback.

The Master of Ziyang Academy was unfathomable and immensely strong, having not taken on a disciple for a very long time.

Being taken as a disciple by Master indicates that Mo Huazhi has the potential for immortality.

The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan continued to speak, “Master is an extremely low-profile individual; even in ancient times, there are few records of him taking action. But he has lived from the ancient times to the present and managed to grow the academy he founded into one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects of the Immortal Realm. The upcoming Confucian Sect conference will be held at the Immortal Dynasty’s Ziyang Academy. I estimate that the Nine Great Confucian Sects and other major and minor sects will send representatives to the conference.”

“Can we, from the Daoist holy lands, also participate in this Confucian Sect conference?”

Lu Changsheng had not seen his third disciple, Mo Huazhi, for a long time and wished to check on her current situation and help extricate her from any difficulties.

“Normally, only members of the Confucian Sect attend the Confucian Sect conference to discuss Confucian classics. Even if representatives from our holy lands were to go, they would only have a vague understanding and gain little from it. Therefore, not many from the Daoist and Buddhist holy lands would send representatives to the conference. Ziyang Academy would also not invite us from Mount Taihua Sacred Land. However… you have made your name in the Immortal Realm by defeating the Emperor at the Heavenly Court conference; if you take the initiative to send a request to attend as a guest observer, Ziyang Academy is unlikely to refuse. Besides, you have a disciple at Ziyang Academy.”

“In that case, the junior will take a trip to the Confucian Sect conference in five hundred years to see the disciple I had in the past.”

Lu Changsheng indeed hadn’t seen his disciple for a very long time.

“This would also be beneficial for Mount Taihua Sacred Land.”

Several of the Elder Ancestors were quite supportive.

If they could use the relationship between Master and disciple to connect Mount Taihua Sacred Land with one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, Ziyang Academy, then Mount Taihua Sacred Land could find allies in times of need.

The power with the best relationship to Mount Taihua Sacred Land is none other than Yaochi, followed by Changliu Mountain.

Because of Lu Changsheng’s relationship with Xia Ningxue, Mount Taihua’s exchanges with Guanghan Palace have become increasingly close lately.

Lu Changsheng’s disciple, Lin Qingzhi, has a connection to Green Duckweed Sword Sect; Shen Xiaoyao, to Heavenly Master Sect; Su Xiaoqi, from the Ancient Su Family; Ji Xuan, from Nine-Tailed Fox Clan; Dugu Aotian with a background in the Demon Realm; now his third disciple, Mo Huazhi, is a student of Ziyang Academy; Lu Changsheng also has his own Mount Shu. With Lu Changsheng’s connections, the influence of Mount Taihua Sacred Land can also be expanded.

At Ziyang Academy, disciples wield their Flying Swords for Sword Flight, leaving the academy to distribute invitations to the Confucian Sects throughout the Immortal Realm.

The Nine Great Confucian Sects take turns hosting the Confucian Sect conference every million years.

This time, it is Ziyang Academy’s turn to host.

The disciples of Ziyang Academy held their heads high with pride.

Their Ziyang Academy was one of the Nine Great Confucian Sects.

In a bamboo hut on a hill behind Ziyang Academy, a woman in black and white Confucian robes leaned on the railing, holding a scroll in her hands, and the scent of ink overflowed. Her inky hair fell over her shoulders, and a few strands of blue lay upon the scroll.

A disciple of Ziyang Academy approached the entrance of the bamboo hut and stopped in his tracks.

This simple bamboo hut was occupied by a Direct Disciple of Master and the number one genius of the younger generation in Ziyang Academy, who has the hope of becoming a Saint.

With respect, the disciple of Ziyang Academy said, “Aunt-Master Mo, Master has asked you to host the Confucian Sect conference in five hundred years.”
