Seeing that Lin Jinglong agreed so readily, Zhong Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little apprehensive before he came.
After all, there was a relationship between him and Lin Jinglong.
It's really not good.
"That's wonderful! You're so kind as to forgive my past offenses. I was just being petty!"
Zhong Huai apologized very readily.
After all, Lin Jinglong's willingness to impart immortal scripture is a fortunate thing for Tianji Martial Academy and even for the entire martial arts world of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Compared to my lifelong wish.
What's the big deal about a simple apology?
Soon, he invited Lin Jinglong to set off and sent out a message to gather three hundred members of the Tianji Martial Academy, plus twenty elders and deacons!
"The matter of a master imparting his teachings is of utmost importance. Everyone must be present. Anyone who dares to delay or neglect this duty will be expelled from the martial academy!"
The news quickly spread to more than 300 people.
Seeing that Zhong Huai, as the elder in charge, attached great importance to this matter and even mentioned that there was some master who would impart the teachings, the others dared not neglect it and immediately rushed back to the martial arts academy.
In a hall hundreds of meters underground.
More than 300 martial artists of different ages and genders have gathered together and are discussing the matter.
There were more than twenty elders at the front of the crowd.
The rest are the most outstanding talents of the martial arts academy.
The leader was surrounded by stars, as if the moon were the center of attention.
He was a handsome young man with a face like jade, holding a black jade slip in his hand, standing proudly at the front of the crowd, with an arrogant smile on his lips.
A few people nearby were whispering among themselves.
"I wonder which reclusive master will be imparting the Dharma this time. I heard it's about the mysteries of immortal script!"
"The mysteries of immortal script? This is the first time!"
"Young Master Fang, I heard that you have already mastered 1,200 immortal symbols and possess innate spirituality. I suppose you can make further progress this time?"
The speaker looked at the young man with envy.
The young man, whose real name is Zhong Fangxiang, is a distant relative of Zhong Huai. However, his talent is unparalleled, and he has become a star at the Tianji Martial Academy.
In particular, they possess innate spirituality.
They learn immortal script very quickly.
"Is that even a question?"
"Young Master Fang is exceptionally gifted with innate spirituality. He began learning immortal script at the age of three, and now, twenty years later, he has mastered more than 1,200 characters. You must know that Elder Zhong has been studying for thirty years and has only mastered half of the immortal script symbols!"
"It's estimated that it won't be long before Young Master Fang is promoted from a martial arts academy apprentice to a respected elder. He might be the one to teach us immortal scripture next!"
"His future is limitless!"
Others were saying flattering things.
They only felt envy towards Zhong Fangxiang.
After all, learning immortal scripts basically depends on talent. No matter how hard ordinary people try, they can't compare to a genius like Zhong Fangxiang.
So even jealousy is useless.
Listening to those people's flattering and obsequious words.
Fang Xiang's smile grew more and more pronounced, but he still waved his hand modestly.
"My level is still far behind my third uncle's. The path of immortal script is elusive and unpredictable, with no fixed rules."
"Moreover, I study immortal script not to become an elder, but to decipher more ancient immortal martial arts and techniques, solely to contribute to the elders' council!"
"The road ahead is long and arduous, and we must continue our arduous journey!"
His words immediately drew the attention of the crowd, who all looked at him with admiration.
Zhong Fangxiang glanced quietly at the first row.
"Those elders must have heard it too, right?"
"I must have left a good enough impression on them, in addition to my foundation in immortal script and my bloodline from a branch of the Zhong family."
"Perhaps the time when I become an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Martial Academy is not too far away."
Zhong Fangxiang quietly observed the expressions on the faces of the elders.
But he discovered that the elders were not paying attention to his grand pronouncements at all; instead, they were whispering amongst themselves, their serious expressions carrying a hint of disbelief.
What happened among these elders?
Zhong Fangxiang rubbed the ink-black jade slip in his palm.
Some people didn't quite understand the elders' reaction.
The elder at the head of the group transmitted his voice to the other elders present, his expression extremely serious and solemn.
"Are you sure what Zhong Huai said is true? That kid named Lin Jinglong really has mastered the Three Thousand Immortal Scripts?"
"Even if it's not three thousand, it should be at least two thousand. After all, the threshold for the Netherworld Sensing Technique is extremely high. Zhong Huai has been researching it for thirty years!"
"But that's unlikely, isn't it? Unless Lin Jinglong's innate spirituality has reached the level of a true genius from an ancient immortal sect, it's truly inconceivable that he could master three thousand immortal scripts at his age!"
"You must know that we are now in the Dharma-ending Age, how could such a genius be born?"
"Elder Qi Huai, don't speak too definitively."
An elderly man in a white robe, with an air of otherworldly refinement, spoke up.
He smiled as he looked at the elder, Qi Huai, who was at the head of the group.
"Perhaps, Lin Jinglong really is a top genius who appears only once in a millennium?"
Qi Huai stroked his white beard and shook his head repeatedly.
"Master Chen Dan, are you joking?"
"I have been in charge of the Heavenly Mystery Martial Academy for nearly a hundred years. No one here has more seniority than me. I have seen countless geniuses. I dare say that it is impossible for anyone to master three thousand immortal scripts at such a young age!"
Qi Huai and Chen Dan were deadlocked.
The others present were also skeptical.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhong was observing and interpreting the situation.
He was also curious about who was transmitting the Dharma this time, that made these twenty elders all appear so solemn.
Just then.
Lin Jinglong was accompanied by Zhong Huai.
I stepped into this hall for the second time.
His gaze swept across the crowd, and he discovered that more than half of the people present had reached the Martial Emperor realm.
