The previous principal was involved in a power struggle within the imperial court, and ultimately suffered a disgraceful end, dying without a proper burial.
When he took office, he told the outside world that he would never participate in politics.
This is his philosophy for running the school, and also a constraint he sets for himself.
This attitude not only allowed him to cultivate diligently, but also earned him a high reputation.
Nowadays, he has many students and holds a significant position in Nanzhou. At the same time, everyone knows that he has no ambition.
Under his philosophy, the Royal Academy was freed from the treacherous court, and the disciples finally began to focus on their cultivation.
The atmosphere in the academy is getting better and better, and everyone's cultivation level is also improving.
However, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.
The Royal Academy is arguably the most powerful force on Imperial Island, and the Emperor Bai Haotian cannot afford to stand idly by.
He kept sending various officials into the Royal Academy in an attempt to infiltrate this behemoth.
As a result, a rift gradually developed between the academy and the imperial court.
Di Zhengchen became even more unwilling to participate in court affairs.
His room was located on the south side of the academy, where the elders lived. It didn't take Yue Wuyan long to get there.
She came to the outside of a small building and saw that there was still light on the second floor.
So he knocked on the door downstairs.
She said respectfully, "Your Excellency Headmaster, I am Yue Wuyan, and I have important matters to report."
"It's Elder Yue, please come in."
A voice drifted by, and then the door slowly opened.
Yue Wuyan walked up.
Then I saw an old man with white hair and beard standing by the second-floor window, looking at the dark sky outside.
Di Zhengchen was very tall and thin. He stood straight with his hands behind his back.
Despite being at the Human King realm, he didn't possess a particularly powerful aura.
On the contrary, disciples who did not know his true appearance would think he was a kind and amiable old man.
"Elder Yue, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
You didn't even drink the wine, and just came here.
Di Zhengchen turned around, pointed to a chair, and gestured for her to sit down and talk.
Wu Yan still smelled of alcohol when she rushed over; she must have something important to report.
Yue Wuyan didn't bother to explain her drinking. She said anxiously, "Principal, I told you before that I took on a disciple."
Actually, he's not really my apprentice; he's a good friend of mine.
He came from the Western Continent not only to learn martial arts, but also to carry a mission from the Demon King Guo Feng.
"Heh, that little guy you're talking about? What kind of missions can he lead?"
Di Zhengchen sat down behind his desk with a smile and said casually.
Through three hundred years of trials and tribulations, he had long since developed a calm and unperturbed heart.
"Elder Yue, you cultivate a calming technique, so why are you in such a panic?"
You know, news isn't inherently good or bad.
But Yue Wuyan didn't have his composure. She was indeed very anxious and quickly recounted what had happened.
After hearing this, Di Zhengchen paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "That is indeed bad news."
"Principal, the Dark Invaders have united the Western Continent."
However, relying solely on the West Continent is not enough to sustain it!
Haven't you been worried about this too lately?
Now that the Western Continent is considering joining forces with the Southern Continent, let's get moving!
Putting aside everything else, the North Continent serves as a cautionary tale.
Before the crisis even began, I was already in chaos.
Yue Wuyan said earnestly.
Di Zhengchen remained silent.
He brought his hands together slightly, his fingertips touching.
He looked at Yue Wuyan and after a long while said softly, "I have been in charge of the school for many years, always under the pretext of not participating in court affairs. If I rashly take action to rectify the Southern Continent, it will probably cause a great uproar and be detrimental to the integration."
He is the strongest being in the Southern Continent and the guardian deity of the Imperial Island.
However, he is also a neutral force and will not rashly attack other islands, which allows the residents of other islands to catch their breath.
Di Zhengchen thinks differently from the people of Dongzhou.
The Star Kingdom has always been fragmented and has never been unified.
Therefore, he believed that controlling other islands constituted aggression.
He fundamentally rejected this behavior and naturally had no intention of doing it.
Different ideas are understandable.
But in Yue Wuyan's eyes, this was simply a lack of ambition.
Can't we learn from the Demonic Cult Empress?
Sometimes, Yue Wuyan really admired Leng Feiran.
Even the fragmented Eastern Continent and the colossal Dragon Saint Kingdom were devoured by her silently.
She truly deserves the title of Empress of the Eastern Continent.
Yue Wuyan said helplessly, "Principal, the Dark Ages are coming. Are you really going to just stand by and watch Southern Continent fall into peril?"
It's been two months, and we haven't done anything yet.
Di Zhengchen raised his hand, signaling Yue Wuyan to calm down.
He smiled and said, "Elder Yue, you really underestimate this old man."
I've lived for over three hundred years, and fame has long since lost its meaning for me.
My concern is that if I intervene, the situation will only become more chaotic.
Military force is important, but it is not the key.
We are not waging war, we are uniting.
"If you kill everyone on the other islands, how can we form an alliance?"
Suppressing her irritation, Yue Wuyan said apologetically, "Principal, I was rash."
"It's alright, I would be anxious too if I were in your shoes."
Di Zhengchen walked out from behind the table and stood in front of the window again. He calmly said, "You know about the strange phenomenon that has occurred on Falling Star Island, right?"
Yue Wuyan patiently said, "Elder Sun has already told me that every evening, Falling Star Island is bathed in rosy light, which means a treasure has appeared in the world."
Di Zhengchen pondered for a moment, his thoughts drifting back three hundred years. He said slowly, "Bu Zhigui, the island lord of Falling Star Island, was just one step away from becoming an emperor, but in the end he failed and merged with Falling Star Island."
For three hundred years, Falling Star Island has remained undisturbed, but now strange phenomena are appearing, which means that Island Master Bu intends to open his doors to guests.
"Principal, what does this have to do with the United Star Kingdom?" Yue Wuyan asked, completely bewildered.
"I will discuss with the King that we should hold a selection competition, invite disciples from various islands to compete, select outstanding disciples to go to Falling Star Island, cooperate with each other, and strive to put an end to past grievances!"
Presumably, through these collaborations, the Star Kingdoms will be able to unite, put aside their grudges, and fight together against their common enemy.
Di Zhengchen said seriously.
Yue Wuyan opened her mouth but couldn't say anything; she sighed helplessly.
Despite being the second strongest person in the world, Di Zhengchen surprisingly lacks strong offensive capabilities.
He could easily lead the Royal Academy to sweep across the islands and unify the Southern Continent.
The realm of the Human King is here; who dares to disobey?
The emperor is the one with the strongest army and the most powerful horses!
Why can't he understand this principle?
But the other party was the principal, who was also the benefactor who had taken in Yao Palace, so Yue Wuyan had no choice but to cup her hands and say, "This concubine understands, this concubine will definitely cooperate with all her might!"
P.S.: I wrote 4,000 words a day for a month. I'm awesome! (Hands on hips for a moment)
