Chapter 163: Ascension after the New Year

"How many days can Senior Brother Xu stay in the Enlightenment Tower? It's already been four months!"

"It's been four months outside, and it should be 40 months inside. This level of understanding is incredible!"

Many students were outside the Wudao Tower, looking at the constantly changing numbers on the stone tablet and sighing with emotion.

This is the display stone tablet that comes with the Enlightenment Tower, which records the situation of the practitioners in the tower.

Each name is ranked on the stone tablet, and the latest time spent in the tower is recorded behind the name.

The first name on the list is "Xu Shilin, 121 days"

Based on 30 days in a month, 121 days is indeed 4 months.

Xu Shilin finally walked out of the Enlightenment Tower. He is 16 years old, and the aura fluctuations on his body made other students feel a little awed.

"I heard that Senior Brother Xu is Teacher Bai's son?" a student from the outer courtyard couldn't help but ask, "And with such good qualifications, why doesn't he join the inner courtyard?"

"It seems to be because of Teacher Bai. Teacher Bai is only an academy student in the inner courtyard, not even a teacher in the inner courtyard."

"Oh my god, Teacher Bai is so strong, but he is still just a student in the inner courtyard?"

"Yes, don't you know? The teachers in the inner courtyard are all gods, including Erlang Zhenjun, Taishang Laojun, and a more mysterious teacher. It is said that only the inner courtyard students with good talents are allowed to go out to find that teacher for instruction! I heard that he used to be the Great Sage of Heaven!"

"Is it so amazing? I want to go to the inner courtyard too!"

"If talent doesn't allow it, then strength is the key. As long as you graduate from the fifth grade and successfully ascend, you can apply to enter the inner courtyard!"

"By the way, I heard that Senior Brother Xu will apply to enter the inner courtyard next month. Does that mean Senior Brother Xu will also ascend?"

"Oh my god, is this true?"

Bai Suzhen looked at the handsome Xu Shilin in front of her and said with a smile, "Shilin, I asked you not to enter the inner courtyard. Will you blame me?"

Xu Shilin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good."

Bai Suzhen smiled, "You are about to ascend, and I don't want you to have any misunderstandings."

"You know, although you can enter the inner courtyard based on your qualifications, that was more than ten years ago. In recent years, the strength of the students in the inner courtyard has grown so fast that basically, once you enter the Enlightenment Tower, you will be promoted several levels when you come out. There are endless opportunities in the Enlightenment Tower."

"For you, you can still get the opportunity to enter the Enlightenment Tower in the outer courtyard, but you won't be discouraged by other inner courtyard students. You should know that there are more geniuses than just you. I was afraid that you were young and unstable, and when you saw others making breakthroughs quickly, you would also want to make breakthroughs quickly, which would not give you a solid foundation."

Bai Suzhen was very concerned about her son's cultivation. She wanted stability, especially since it took her a thousand years to reach the level of a demon spirit, but her son reached it in 16 years.

This qualification is not bad, it is too good.

If he were to study in the inner courtyard again, he might be able to reach the level of ascension in just a few years instead of 16 years.

However, if one's mind is immature, ascending too early is not a good thing.

That's why she opposed Xu Shilin entering the inner courtyard.

As for Xu Shilin's education, Xu Xian always raised his hands in agreement with whatever Bai Suzhen said. The key point was that Bai Suzhen taught well.

Xu Xian himself had just ascended to heaven a few years ago, so it was right for him to listen to his wife about his experience.

Xu Shilin smiled gently, looking like a handsome and warm man. He completely inherited the beauty of Bai Suzhen and the gentleness of Xu Xian. He also won the admiration of many junior sisters in the outer courtyard.

Bai Suzhen pulled her hair back. After more than a decade of accumulation, her strength had increased faster than that of a thousand years of practice. She had actually reached the realm of a 7th-level immortal. If it weren't for the cover of the immortal mirror clone, if such an aura was discovered, it would definitely shock the immortals.

"Then let's get started. Your father and I will be watching you."

Bai Suzhen nodded to Xu Shilin. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen stood aside, looking at their son.

Xu Shilin walked up to the rooftop in the venue.

They are not in the inner courtyard of West Lake College now, but on the top of North Peak in Hangzhou.

It can be said that now the whole city of Hangzhou has been included in the scope of West Lake Academy, and the Outer Court has expanded beyond the entire city of Hangzhou. The people of Hangzhou still live and work in it in peace and contentment, but the shadow of the Outer Court of West Lake Academy can be seen in various buildings in Hangzhou. It can be said that the Outer Court of West Lake Academy is truly integrated into Hangzhou.

This is completely different from other colleges that are established in an orderly manner within the college and within the college's fences.

Those monsters and practitioners who did not enter the academy could also see the students from the outer courtyard going to class, see their strength growing, and see them earning points, as if they were growing up with them.

The cultivation speed of the monsters and cultivators in Hangzhou is also changing and improving imperceptibly.

Over the past decade or so, Hangzhou has truly become a holy place for human cultivation and a national tourist destination.

How many people come to Hangzhou just to see the West Lake, the modern construction that surpasses other cities, and the enviable life.

Corresponding to this are the various famous mountains in Hangzhou.

Because on the top of the mountain, you can often see students of West Lake College ascending. Of course, when the students ascend, they will set up a barrier outside to indicate that the mountain has a temporary owner. After the ascension, the barrier disappears and other students can use it.

Now everyone knows clearly that once a mountain is covered by a barrier, it means that a student is about to ascend.

At the top of Beigao Peak, Bai Suzhen had already set up a barrier.

As soon as the barrier was set up, many students who were practicing outside Beigaofeng opened their eyes.

"A barrier has appeared on North Peak."

"Someone is about to ascend? Who is it?"

"Go and have a look?"

"Walk!"

Many students stood at the foot of the North Peak, or watched from the sky while stepping on auspicious clouds.

At that moment, countless cultivators and monsters flew out of Hangzhou City, all looking at Beigaofeng quietly.

In recent years, there have been quite a few people who have ascended to higher realms in Hangzhou, with an average of several people every year.

However, every ascension would attract many cultivators and monsters to watch.

Because every ascension will bring them considerable benefits and experiences.

Of course, in Hangzhou, if someone wants to sabotage ascension, they will face the wrath of all the cultivators and monsters in Hangzhou.

Xu Shilin, the person who ascended to heaven, looked at the thunder that was slowly gathering above his head, with a hint of surprise on his face.

He turned around, looked at Bai Suzhen in confusion and asked, "Mom, I have seen many of my brothers and sisters ascend to heaven, why is my thunder tribulation different from theirs?"
