"Dean, I’m not messing around. I’m telling you the truth," Lin Xuan said. "I really have completely absorbed the Heart of the Serpent."
The Dean rolled his eyes. This kid is bragging again.
He replied, exasperated, "If you could completely absorb the Heart of the Serpent in a single hour, you would have completed the Celestial Stele’s test and obtained a Celestial Order."
"Do you have a Celestial Order now?"
"What’s a Celestial Order?" Lin Xuan asked, confused.
"It’s an ancient token," the Dean said.
"Are you talking about this?" Lin Xuan took out the token the Serpent had given him.
The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly bulged.
He exclaimed, "The Celestial Order! You actually got the Celestial Order!" He stared at Lin Xuan in disbelief. "Did you really absorb the Heart of the Serpent?"
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded.
The Dean was dumbfounded, feeling as if he’d been struck by lightning. He was utterly and completely shocked. This was incredible. The Heart of the Serpent! Under normal circumstances, it would take even a Grandmaster about a year to absorb it fully. Yet, Lin Xuan had managed it in just one hour. It was simply unbelievable!
As expected of a Dragon Warrior! Truly defying the heavens! But his excitement quickly faded, replaced by a sigh. What a pity... such an extraordinary Dragon Warrior has no future. What a twist of fate.
Just then, Lin Xuan asked, "Dean, what is this token? What is it for?"
The Dean snapped back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said, "Let me tell you about the origins of our Heavenly Dao Academy. It is similar to the Pill Tower; not only does our Great Xia Country have one, but other kingdoms do as well. These are all considered branches.
"Our academy in the Great Xia Country is one such branch. Above all of them is the main Heavenly Dao Academy, known as the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute. This Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute is an existence on par with any Holy Land.
"There are two ways to join the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute. The first is to go directly there and participate in their test. If you pass, you can join.
"The second is to complete the test at one of the Heavenly Dao branches. Each branch has Celestial Steles which contain Celestial Orders. If you meet certain conditions, you can obtain a Celestial Order from within a Stele. However, obtaining one is exceedingly difficult. No one from the Heavenly Dao Academy in our Great Xia Country has obtained one in 500 years.
"I never expected you to actually acquire one now. This is wonderful! Lin Xuan, you have the opportunity to go and cultivate at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute! Perhaps there, you can break through to become a Grandmaster and continue your cultivation journey."
Lin Xuan was astonished. So that’s how it is. I never expected the Heavenly Dao Academy to have such a powerful background. It’s a lot like the Ye Family’s main and branch houses. This is great, I can go cultivate at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute now!
He was thrilled. He had originally planned to leave the Great Xia Country to find a more powerful sect after absorbing the Heart of the Serpent. The most powerful sects in the world were, of course, the Holy Lands, but their emissary had rejected him. Lin Xuan had been worrying about where he could go to cultivate, but now the problem was solved. He could go to the Sacred Institute, a place no weaker than a Holy Land.
"Where is the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute?" Lin Xuan asked.
"In the Eastern Region."
The Dean continued, "You probably don’t know much about this world yet, so let me explain. Our world is divided into five continents, each one vast and boundless: the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Central Continent. Each continent is further divided into five regions: east, south, west, north, and central.
"Our Great Xia Country is located in the Central Region of the Eastern Continent, and the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute is in the Eastern Region of the Eastern Continent."
"So that’s how it is," Lin Xuan murmured, finally gaining a basic understanding of the world. His next step was clear: he would head to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute.
"Do you know how long it takes to fly from the Great Xia Country to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute?" the Dean asked. "Even for me, a King, it would take a full year of flying. For you, I estimate it would take three to five years to make that flight." fгeewebnovёl.com
That far? Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. And that’s just traveling between regions on the same continent! How long would it take to fly from the Eastern Continent to the Central Continent? Wouldn’t that take more than a decade? I was planning to go to the Ye Family in the Central Continent in five years. Does that mean I have to start flying now? He was speechless.
The Dean chuckled. "Of course, no one would be foolish enough to fly the entire way unless they were a supreme being with power that could traverse heaven and earth. Everyone else uses Teleportation Arrays. With a Teleportation Array, you can arrive very quickly."
"Oh, so that’s how it works," Lin Xuan said, relieved.
"This kind of array is a super Teleportation Array," the Dean explained. "Our Heavenly Dao Academy hasn’t activated ours in 500 years, so I need some time to prepare it. While I’m doing that, you should take the time to say a proper farewell to your family."
Lin Xuan nodded and left the ancient hall. He went to find the members of the Lin Family.
They all wore grave expressions, unsure how to comfort their young master. But Lin Xuan wasted no time. "I will be leaving to cultivate at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute," he announced. "I probably won’t be back for a long time. Here are some Storage Rings for you. They contain many cultivation elixirs, advanced Martial Arts, Spiritual Artifacts, and more. With these, the strength of our Lin Family will be greatly enhanced."
These were the treasures Lin Xuan had obtained from the True Dragon Sect, and he could finally entrust them to his family.
"If you run into any problems you can’t solve," he added, "go to the Cyan Dragon Manor Master or seek help from the Heavenly Dao Academy. You can also try the Pill Tower; they should show me some face."
The Lin Family members were stunned. "Young master, you’re leaving? What is this Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute? We’ve never heard of it."
"It’s not something I can explain in a few words," Lin Xuan said. "You just need to know that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute is a place no weaker than a Holy Land."
Hearing this, the Lin Family members gasped, their shock quickly turning to excitement. They had fallen into despair when Lin Xuan was rejected by the Holy Land, but now, the tables had turned. He could go to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute! This was fantastic news! Perhaps there, he could finally break the Dragon Warrior’s curse and continue his cultivation!
Next, Lin Xuan bid farewell to Bai Qian Qian, the Cyan Dragon Manor Master, the Sword Casting Manor Master, and others, asking them to look after the Lin Family. They were all overjoyed and thrilled for him when they learned he was heading to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute.
Just then, the Wangyue Pavilion Master rushed over, looking panicked. "Bad news! The Celestial King has arrived with a group of experts! They’re right outside the Heavenly Dao Academy, presumably here for revenge against Lin Xuan."
"What should we do?" the others grew tense. The Celestial King must have learned that Lin Xuan has no future, so he’s impatient to make his move.
Lin Xuan, however, just gave a cold laugh, completely unconcerned. I have Kings protecting me. The Celestial King can’t touch me.
His intervention wasn’t needed, however. The Dean walked over and said, "The array is ready and can be activated at any time. Lin Xuan, let’s go."
Lin Xuan nodded and followed the Dean back into the depths of the Heavenly Dao Academy, where an ancient array was located. As Lin Xuan stood upon it, the Dean activated the array and handed him a letter.
"This is a letter of introduction for you. When you arrive at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute, give this letter and the Celestial Order to the elders," he explained. "Once you do, you can become a Saint Academy Disciple." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Lin Xuan nodded. The next moment, the array flared to life, and his figure vanished.
「Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Dao Academy.」
The Celestial King radiated a murderous aura.
"Guard all the exits of the Heavenly Dao Academy," he commanded his men. "If you see that Lin Xuan, kill him on sight."
