Just like that, with Er Daye explaining bit by bit, the group headed towards the direction where the academy was located.
Er Daye, now renamed as Siyun Ya, had in just a few short years gained the favor of Lin Daochen due to his outstanding performance. He was taken in as an Inner Courtyard student and meticulously taught the matters of arrays.
Now, Er Daye could already condense thirty-seven Spirit Seals and was steadily advancing towards becoming a Second-level Array Master.
As for Lin Daochen, he was at the late-stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm. According to Er Daye, he was not far from condensing three thousand Spirit Seals and becoming a Third-level Array Master.
Once successful, he would become the third Array Master to reach such a level in the Fourth-level Cultivation Country.
"The academy’s admission period is over now, so if you want to get in, you can only rely on an internal recommendation. That means me!"
Er Daye said boastfully.
The three immediately showered him with flattery.
But they couldn’t help but wonder.
Here was a legendary figure at the Spirit Severing Realm. Just by displaying his cultivation, he could be treated as a peer by the dean and enjoy endless respect and resources.
Yet he insisted on becoming a disciple under someone at the Divinity Transformation Realm, pretending to be young every day, relishing it, which was quite an amusing mindset.
However, considering Er Daye’s previous numerous baffling actions, they were gradually getting used to it.
"No need to change your names; no one cares." Er Daye reminded them again.
Even if Zhou Qing was famous in the Eastern Domain, that wouldn’t reach Vast Mansion, and probably not even the other three regions of Lingyun Mansion.
After all, everyone is quite busy; who cares who you are.
The three nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering Er Daye’s words.
Soon after, at the end of a misty valley, a towering and majestic building loomed in and out of the clouds.
Zhou Qing and the other two were full of excitement. As they got closer, they saw a giant archway standing in the front, with five ancient and vigorous characters carved on it: "White Jade Taixu Courtyard."
Passing through the archway, a broad white jade staircase wound its way upward, seemingly endless. Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Er Daye then took out his academy Token. As ripples spread, the group proceeded forward.
As they reached halfway up the mountain, the outline of the academy became clearer; majestic palaces were scattered among the lush forest, stirring admiration.
Furthermore, the mountain mist swirled, the Spiritual Qi permeated, and occasionally glimmers of light flashed.
These were the academy disciples in seclusion within the mountains, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
In a faint glimpse, there were also many hidden Cave Mansions dotted among the mountains.
These Cave Mansions were exclusive training locations prepared for those highly skilled and extraordinarily talented students.
Just like Er Daye, who had his own exclusive residence, undisturbed within a ten-mile radius, free to do as he wished.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At that moment, several streams of light swiftly passed by. Zhou Qing immediately halted, eyes full of wonder.
Although he didn’t see clearly who the others were, one of them had a golden label on their head, but it flashed by so quickly that he couldn’t see it clearly.
Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao noticed Zhou Qing’s anomaly and looked puzzled.
Zhou Qing quickly ruled out the people bound by the Heart Mirror Vision in his mind.
Several figures then arced in mid-air and circled back.
"Xiaoliu, Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Yan!" A delighted voice called from above, followed by hearty laughter as they descended.
Upon recognizing the visitor’s face, the three rushed forward, overwhelmed with excitement.
One of life’s three great joys is meeting an old friend in a foreign land, especially when the person before them was a senior brother as close as family.
The three never expected to encounter Li Daoxuan here in such a dramatic fashion.
The last time they were together, they had a small gathering at the Jade Dining Hall. During the meal, Li Daoxuan shared his valuable experiences from battles with the Cangyan Daoist Palace and the Phecda Sect and expressed regret over Luo Xue’s fall.
He then left to further understand his own Realm.
He probably didn’t know yet that Zhou Qing subsequently killed Sima Demoness, Yu Ziqi, and Li Hanshan.
Moreover, the battle of the Five Sects had long ended, dramatically changing the entire Eastern Domain’s landscape.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing here?" Lu Yaoyao couldn’t contain her excitement and was the first to ask.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu hurriedly looked over as well.
Looking at these familiar and dear Junior Brothers and Sisters, the smile on Li Daoxuan’s face never faded, and he patiently began to explain.
After he left last time, it seemed he had reached a bottleneck, but there were too many things tying him to the Eastern Domain.
After much consideration, he decided to leave and find a completely unfamiliar place to clear his thoughts and reorganize his cultivation path from the bottom.
By a stroke of fate, he came to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard; it was during the admissions period, and after passing the assessment, he got in.
He was now a student in the Inner Courtyard, and it turned out to be the right decision. One of the mentors here took a keen interest in the still-nascent Realm he was exploring and guided him meticulously, from which he benefited greatly.
Today, following his mentor’s instructions, he was heading to a certain place for training and deeper comprehension.
The three finally understood after listening.
"What about you guys?" Li Daoxuan asked eagerly, his eyes shining brightly.
Just as Lu Yaoyao was about to speak, several figures descended from the sky.
All of them radiated mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, and they were immediately captivated by the dazzling Lu Yaoyao, their eyes lighting up, a fervent smile unconsciously appearing on their faces.
