Chapter 592 Chu Ning: The end of cultivation is security

Three days later.

In the mountain courtyard, Chu Ning held a small banquet.

According to Chu Ning's original personality, he would have invited most of the disciples of the Holy Palace, if for no other reason, just to receive more gifts.

But in the end Chu Ning gave up this plan.

In the Cang Tian Realm, it is better to have some dignity. Besides, he is not like before and has no shortage of ordinary treasures. The treasures that he likes may not be possessed by these disciples of the Holy Palace, and even if they do, they are unlikely to give them to him as gifts.

Therefore, in the end, only a small banquet was held, and those who came were all Uncle Chang’s disciples, with no other outsiders.

Hong Rongduan was also at the banquet and prepared a valuable gift for Xu Ruobing, a top-level defensive virtual weapon: Wudingyi.

When wearing this robe, the spiritual sense or Qi of a Jindan cultivator will not be able to lock onto it, and it can also withstand ten attacks from a peak Jindan cultivator.

Even when facing a powerful Dongxu master, he could still buy a few breaths of time.

But the most important thing about this thing to a Dongxu expert is to inform the other party that there is also a Dongxu expert standing behind Xu Ruobing.

The Wuding Robe can only be refined by a strong person at the Dongxu level.

…

…

Next month.

After spending a month on honeymoon with Xu Ruobing, Chu Ning went to the main hall of the Holy Palace alone.

Palace Master Fan Taichu was already waiting there.

"Master, I am ready."

"Well, follow me."

Fan Taichu nodded and raised his right hand. Chu Ning felt the space around him fluctuate. The space of the entire hall rippled like water waves.

The Palace Master also mastered the way of space?

Yes, an existence of the Mansion Lord's level cannot be understood by common sense.

"Let's go."

Fan Taichu took Chu Ning to walk in the hall. With every step, Chu Ning could feel the changes in the space.

So now every step he took actually crossed a space, but the strange thing was that the scenery around him did not change at all. He was still inside the hall and just walked a few steps in the hall.

The Holy Court is hidden deep within the many overlapping spaces of the main hall.

Sixty-four steps!

Chu Ning silently counted the steps, and at this moment he had already walked from the entrance of the hall to the center of the hall. After taking this step, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

He was no longer in the hall, but appeared outside a bamboo forest.

Chu Ning looked through the bamboo forest and could see some roofs in the distance, but his spiritual sense was unable to see clearly what was going on inside.

Is this the Holy Court?

Why does it feel so similar to the scene of a literary master's seclusion in my previous life?

"This is the Holy Courtyard. The one in the bamboo forest is the Holy Courtyard built by the saint back then."

Fan Taichu gave Chu Ning a definite answer and explained with a smile: "When the saint came to the south, he built a bamboo forest here. There are three courtyards in it. One is where the saint lives, one is where the jade slips are stored, and one is where the saint practices."

"Back then, the Saint had no intention of establishing a sect. He stayed here for three thousand years. Then, a foundation-building cultivator accidentally broke into the bamboo forest. The Saint thought it was fate, so he taught him how to practice. This became the Saint's first disciple, and also the first Lord of our Saint Palace."

The saint is the founder of the Holy Palace, but the saint does not serve as the master of the palace. With a saint's body, how could he waste his time on the construction and management of the sect?

Originally, the Palace Master Fan Taichu did not need to tell Chu Ning about the sect's past events, but Fan Taichu had a very good impression of Chu Ning, and he had also heard about the incident at the Jiudie Spring, so he personally took Chu Ning to the Holy Academy.

"The first Palace Master founded the Holy Palace, but the Holy Courtyard is the most sacred place in the Holy Palace. Only the five disciples of the Saint can enter the Holy Courtyard."

After listening to the introduction of his own palace master, Chu Ning finally understood how the Holy Palace was formed.

After the saint's first disciple left the bamboo forest, he became famous in the southern part of the Cangtian Realm. Eventually, he came into conflict with several major sects in the south and was hunted down by powerful men from the opposing sects.

Finally, the saint took action, and the strong men of these sects were directly wiped out. Only then did all the cultivators in the southern part know that there was such a terrifying existence in the south.

Many forces came to the disciple of the saint, and finally the disciple of the saint established the Holy Palace. In the following ten thousand years, the saint also accepted four more disciples. Under the leadership of these five disciples, the Holy Palace soon ruled most of the southern region.

In the following tens of thousands of years, when the Holy Palace was at its most glorious, it once ruled the entire south, but any force will decline. Although the Holy Palace did not decline, it was unable to reach its peak again. It was not until the last tens of thousands of years that the Nirvana Sect began to gradually rise and contend with the Holy Palace, forming the current situation of two powers.

"The Holy Court has some traces left by the saints who realized the truth back then, but it is not a good idea for you disciples to step into it. Only elders can enter my Holy Court, and they can only enter once every thousand years. As for you disciples, you can only guard the Holy Court outside this bamboo forest."

Chu Ning scratched his head in confusion when he heard this: "Palace Master, does this Holy Court still need someone to guard it?"

With so many overlapping spaces deep inside, and in the center of the Holy Palace's main hall, Chu Ning didn't think anyone could break in. If anyone could really break in, it would definitely not be something a Divine Transformation disciple like him could defend.

So the mission of guarding the Holy Court is purely to provide a benefit to the disciples of the Divine Transformation Realm? "Don't think that the sect has asked you to guard the Holy Court just to give you a chance to get close to the Holy Court."

Fan Taichu saw what Chu Ning was thinking and said with a smile: "Back then, the saint gained enlightenment here, his realm was heavenly, and he left behind traces of the Great Dao."

"In the Heaven Realm, the Dao is universal. If there happens to be a lucky person who makes a breakthrough in his understanding of the Dao and causes resonance between the Heaven and Earth Dao, there is a chance that he will appear here. What you have to do is to prevent him from entering."

"The Great Dao Resonance?"

Chu Ning frowned and said, "Palace Master, anyone who can reach this level must be at least a Void Master, right? Can your disciples stop him?"

"Even if you are at the Void level and have mastered the entire avenue, you still don't have the chance to come here." Fan Taichu looked into the depths of the Holy Academy: "People call those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years the top geniuses, but will those who have reached the Divine Transformation stage for a thousand years still be called geniuses?"

"Won't."

“In the Cangtian Realm, the recognition of the prodigies is often the recognition of the prodigies by the Way of Heaven. If one wants to activate the Great Way of Heaven and Earth and enter the Holy Academy, one must be below the level of the Void. This involves the rules of the Way of Heaven, which cannot be changed by human power.”

Fan Taichu did not explain the reason in too much to Chu Ning. As he said, if your realm is not high, the more you know, it will only interfere with your cultivation. When your realm is high enough, you will naturally understand it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But you don't have to worry too much. This situation rarely happens. In the history of the Holy Academy, only nine powerful gods have come here."

As for whether these nine powerful gods had entered, Fan Taichu did not say and Chu Ning did not ask.

He understood the purpose of his own sect wanting disciples like them to guard the Holy Academy.

To put it bluntly, this is an opportunity given by Heaven to those top geniuses at the God Transformation level to enter the Holy Academy to observe the traces of the great Dao left by the saints. However, the Holy Palace is unwilling to do so. How could their treasures be given to outsiders in such a cheap way? So they arranged for them to stop it.

Chu Ning thought about it and decided that he would do the same if he were the Lord of the Holy Palace, because those who could appear here were all geniuses who had already established their own sects and it was impossible for them to join the Holy Palace again.

This kind of thing of using one's own resources to train strong people from other sects must be stopped, unless one is stupid or the saints have left instructions.

"Master, if that's the case, why don't you arrange for the elders to come... to guard and prevent outsiders from coming in?"

Chu Ning believed that the elders would definitely be willing, and being able to stay in the Holy Academy would be attractive enough to these elders.

Fan Taichu smiled when he heard Chu Ning's words: "This is a gift from Heaven. All my Saint Palace can do is to question the strength of those lucky ones. If we let Elder Dongxu stay in the Saint Court, it will go against Heaven's will."

Chu Ning understood immediately.

It goes against the will of heaven and does no good to the Holy Palace.

Sending a Divine Transformation disciple here to stop it now is not considered going against the will of heaven.

It's like a top university that wants to arrange for someone to enter without taking the college entrance examination, saying that this person is a genius. The school is somewhat dissatisfied that he or she has taken up an admission quota, but it cannot refuse him or her openly. Since he or she is said to be a genius, then they will arrange a set of test papers for you, and if you can pass the test, then you will be recognized as a genius and can be admitted.

But the questions in the test paper cannot be too beyond the syllabus, otherwise, if it is a doctoral-level test paper, it will not prove whether the person is truly a genius, but will be a deliberate attempt to slap the people above in the face.

If the higher-ups get angry, it will naturally do more harm than good to the school.

It is the same in the Holy Palace. Let the disciples of the God Transformation Stage stop them. This does not count as competing with the Way of Heaven. It is just a verification of the geniuses who come in. This is also the right of the Holy Palace.

Chu Ning also understood why the Palace Lord did not tell him how to notify the Palace Lord and the elders if someone broke in. There was no need to notify at all, as he was the final gatekeeper.

If you defeat me, you can go in, and the palace lord and the elders will not stop you.

Among the nine geniuses who have reached the level of God-transforming God in history, I wonder how many of them have entered.

"For a hundred years, no one is allowed to enter the bamboo forest, no matter what happens. If someone else really shows up, there is no need to stop them if you can't stop them. Just let them in."

After giving his final instructions, Fan Taichu left, leaving Chu Ning alone outside the bamboo forest.

Outside the bamboo forest, there was a pavilion with a stone table inside. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Chu Ning glanced around and finally stepped into the pavilion.

Isn’t this a standard security booth?

It's also good to be a security guard for a hundred years.

…

…

Zhongzhou.

Taiyi Academy.

Several men couldn't help but look at the female cultivator in the red dress in the yard. The fiery red dress coupled with the frosty expression, this extreme contrast was hard not to attract attention, but the female cultivator in the red dress had cold eyes and her delicate face did not show any emotional fluctuations.

"Ahem, you all should have heard that the Saint of the Holy Palace is the undisputed first person in the Heaven Realm to achieve the state of transformation into a spirit and enter the Cave Void. The traces of the Great Dao left by his enlightenment in the Holy Court will be of great benefit to us in entering the Cave Void."

In the courtyard, a late-stage Spiritualization expert glanced at everyone and said, "This is why we are gathered here."
