After a day of running around, the readers are truly exhausted. Signing up for study is such a hassle. I'll reluctantly update two chapters. Below are some excerpts from the author's new book that readers might find interesting.
Three days later, a knock sounded at Gu Fan's door.
Gu Fan opened the door and welcomed the staff from the Myriad Laws Academy inside.
The staff, claiming they had other students to pick up, urged Gu Fan to leave quickly.
During these three days, Gu Fan had sold most of the exotic beast corpses he had killed in the Time-Space Secret Realm, and a small portion was decomposed into equally sized meat chunks for his future martial cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan packed his luggage, which he had prepared over the past two days, into his storage ring, slung his sword box over his shoulder, and left with the staff.
The staff member's eyes flashed as he looked at the sword box on Gu Fan's back. He recalled that the director had mentioned Gu Fan possessed a method to control multiple weapons with formidable power.
Gu Fan did not keep the Shattering Star Seven Luminaries Sword Formation within his body because he had already refined the Five Elements Sword Embryos as his life-bound spiritual treasures. Gu Fan's current cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, insufficient to contain so many spiritual treasures. Thus, he carried it on his back, nurturing it with his own spiritual energy to strengthen their connection.
The staff member escorted Gu Fan through Dongjiang City, picking up students who had registered for the Myriad Laws Academy, including Xia Ruoxi and Zhou Shan.
In the process, Gu Fan witnessed the reluctance of parents bidding farewell to their children, a touching scene of familial love. As a solitary individual, Gu Fan felt a touch of helplessness. (It's unavoidable, after all, he's the protagonist, heh heh heh!)
The other students, upon learning that the top scholar of the entire prefecture had joined the Myriad Laws Academy, felt a sense of dread. It was difficult to be around such a prodigy, constantly being suppressed by him was not a pleasant feeling!
However, the choice of higher education was their personal freedom, and they had no right to interfere. They could only sigh, knowing their future days would be challenging.
The Myriad Laws Academy in Dongjiang City had recruited over a hundred students this time.
"The Myriad Laws Academy is harder to get into than I imagined," Gu Fan mused, stroking his chin.
At the gate of Dongjiang City, the staff member tossed out a spiritual boat. The boat grew in size as it met the wind, instantly expanding to dozens of feet. Finally, a spiritual boat approximately ninety meters in length quietly hovered in mid-air.
The spiritual boat was entirely silver-white, with two red characters inscribed on it: Myriad Laws!
The staff member then unleashed his spiritual power, enveloping the students. Gu Fan did not step forward to announce his ability to fly; there was no need.
They boarded the spiritual boat one by one. The staff member addressed them, "There are many rooms in the spiritual boat, enough for each of you to have one. Do not fight over them. We will reach the Myriad Laws Academy in one day. The spiritual boat is equipped with a kitchen and plenty of pre-prepared food. No fighting is allowed; violators will be thrown out of the spiritual boat!"
"Understood!" the crowd responded loudly.
"Alright, you may go your separate ways." The staff member waved his hand and then headed towards a room labeled: Cockpit.
Gu Fan and Xia Ruoxi exchanged glances. The three of them, forming a group, chose three adjacent rooms.
Gu Fan pushed open the door to his room. Inside, it was a simple single room, but it had all the necessities.
Sitting on the chair, Gu Fan closed his eyes and began to study the knowledge in his mind. This time, he was learning about the manufacturing and principles of the spiritual energy automatic absorption and storage device obtained through simulation.
Gu Fan possessed most of the required materials, and the rest could be found on the Awakened official website. Gu Fan planned to start crafting this device after entering the academy.
This device could be considered a universal tool, automatically storing spiritual energy. Gu Fan could use it to enhance the power of the Shattering Star Seven Luminaries Sword Formation during battles, as his internal spiritual energy was limited.
Alternatively, he could modify the inscribed talismans to transform it into a spiritual energy purification structure, extracting spiritual energy into a directly absorbable form. This would essentially provide Gu Fan with an additional spiritual energy absorption device, greatly saving his time!
Inspired by this device, a flood of ideas surged through his mind. However, all of this required solid foundation in artifact refining and talismanship knowledge. Gu Fan had no issues with basic artifact refining and alchemy, but he had yet to delve into the world of talismans.
He wondered if the Myriad Laws Academy taught it. Since it dared to call itself Myriad Laws, it should have, right?
Gu Fan's uncertainty caused him to dismiss his thoughts and begin studying other knowledge. In reality, he had already been taught these subjects by the system, but it felt like he had only superficially grasped them. He needed to review them to achieve complete mastery.
There was also biological gene alchemy. Gu Fan's eyes held a profound depth, as he needed to learn some foundational knowledge in this area. He wondered if the Myriad Laws Academy's library could satisfy his needs.
The Myriad Laws Academy, hailed as the cradle of spells, was located in Xuanyang Prefecture in the western region of the Tianxia Federation. This prefecture was even more powerful than Tianyang Prefecture. Due to the existence of the Myriad Laws Academy, Xuanyang Prefecture's prosperity far surpassed that of Tianyang Prefecture.
Its overall strength ranked among the top ten in the entire Tianxia Federation, though its exact position was unknown, only a general estimate could be provided.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Fan and the others, traveling by spiritual boat, soon arrived at the Myriad Laws Academy. As the spiritual boat had no windows, Gu Fan could not see the academy from within and could only wait patiently.
Ten minutes later, Gu Fan clearly felt the spiritual boat descending rapidly. With a slight jolt, the door of the spiritual boat opened simultaneously.
The voice of the staff member from before echoed, "Fellow students, we have arrived at the Myriad Laws Academy. Staff members will assist you with your enrollment procedures. Please follow them!"
The students lined up and disembarked from the spiritual boat.
Gu Fan, accompanied by Xia Ruoxi and Zhou Shan, walked out of the spiritual boat together.
The scene before him left Gu Fan awestruck.
Before his eyes lay a vast, square plain. By Gu Fan's incomplete estimation, it spanned at least fifty li. Hundreds of airships were docked there, and countless students, brought from all over the federation, were being led by staff to complete their enrollment.
More spiritual boats were waiting to land in the sky.
"Fellow students, I am a staff member of the Myriad Laws Academy. I will now guide you through the enrollment procedures. Please follow me."
After all the students had disembarked, a staff member stepped forward and said.
The group followed the staff member towards the enrollment processing area.
They walked across a very long grand plaza, which seemed to be specifically for docking spiritual boats.
Upon reaching the edge of the plaza, in an area covered with weeds, a ripple appeared. The staff member took out a card and lightly tapped it on the ripple. The ripple shimmered, and a gap opened in a light screen, allowing them to enter.
The staff member gestured forward, indicating for them to follow. The students watched the magical scene with astonishment, thinking, "Is this the marvel of formations?" They followed the staff member into the light screen.
So, the Myriad Laws Academy was hidden within a formation. It seemed that the art of formations had developed well in this world, and he must learn it!
Gu Fan made up his mind. The art of formations was profound and extensive. For example, sword formations were a manifestation of formations in the way of the sword. The most formidable sword formation was none other than the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was a killing formation controlled by the Heavenly Dao Sage, Sect Master Tongtian, and was composed of the four swords (Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, Immortal Severing Sword) combined with the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.
Legend had it as the first killing formation in the Heavenly Dao since the Pangu's creation of the universe, an supreme formation that governed the Heavenly Dao's slaughter. It was the foundation-laying treasure and protective formation of the Tongtian Sect.
With a Sage setting up the formation, it could not be broken unless four Sages joined forces. Within the sword formation, mysteries and dangers were infinite, and peril was immeasurable. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone a Heavenly Dao Sage, would be reduced to ashes the moment they entered this formation.
This was the most powerful sword formation among the myriad realms. At the same level were formations like the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Zhou Dynasty and the Grand Formation of the Twelve Celestial Gods and Demons, showcasing their might.
Gu Fan was not aiming for the highest level; a simplified version of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation in the future would make him invincible in this world!
As the group walked into the light screen, Gu Fan's vision widened.
The sight before him stunned Gu Fan, who was like a country bumpkin. After all, he had only experienced simulations before and had never seen such grand spectacles!
