Chapter 139 History of The Way of the Extraordinary
Li Yanxi pulled up a long chair and sat on the podium, holding a thermos cup in his hand. As a swordsman, he sat upright with a straight back.
After the students arrived one after another, he glanced at his watch and said in a gentle and loud voice: "Class monitor, please count the number of people."
Xiahou Aotian slowly stood up, standing in the field with his hands behind his back, with an attitude of being aloof from the world:
"Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao..."
The students whose names were called out cooperated and shouted "Here!" Xiahou Aotian deliberately arranged Yuanshi Tianzun at the end, trying to give him a hard time, to avenge the four glasses of juice yesterday. Inside the church.

Xiahou Aotian slowly stood up, standing in the field with his hands behind his back, with an attitude of being aloof from the world:
"Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao..."
The students whose names were called out cooperated and shouted "Here!"
Xiahou Aotian deliberately arranged Yuanshi Tianzun at the end, trying to give him a hard time, to avenge the four glasses of juice yesterday.
After the roll call, Dean Li Yanxi smiled and said:
"When it comes to combat, many of the students here should be stronger than me, right, Yuanshi Tianzun? But in terms of theoretical knowledge, I am qualified to be your teacher.
"Today's lesson is on the history of The Way of the Extraordinary. Everyone has advanced from Extraordinary to Saint, so you should be very familiar with The Way of the Extraordinary. Which student can tell me when The Way of the Extraordinary appeared?"
His voice was gentle and kind, making him a teacher who could easily win the favor of the students.
Xiahou Aotian was about to speak, showing the class monitor's knowledge and skills, when he heard someone behind him say:
"1912, the year the Republic of China government was established."
The person who answered quickly was Zhu Mingxu. This idol-like young man crossed his legs, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, hooked the corner of his mouth, and had a charming and cool look on his face.
The smile was quite like a certain young pop star with smoky makeup, um, an old bacon.
Zhu Mingxu flaunted his knowledge and continued: " The Way of the Extraordinary has a history of one hundred and ten years since its birth. But in fact, few people know that before The Way of the Extraordinary appeared, there were practitioners in ancient times.
"They relied on the spiritual power of heaven and earth to cultivate, without attribute panels, without dungeons, just like what is written in Xianxia novels, without any restrictions. They had their own inheritance, and in terms of combat ability, they were even stronger than The Way of the Extraordinary.
"But for some reason, the spiritual power of heaven and earth became increasingly thin, and practitioners became weaker and weaker. In the dungeons we have come into contact with, the Extraordinary stage corresponds to modern and Ming Dynasty backgrounds.
Saints are the Song and Tang Dynasties. Sovereigns are the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms periods, which corresponds to the ceiling of practitioners at that time.
"By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual power was completely exhausted, and the ancient practitioners died one after another, and the inheritance was cut off. For the next 276 years, there were no ancient practitioners until The Way of the Extraordinary appeared.
"Oh, by the way, The Way of the Extraordinary is divided into three major regions. The first major region, overseas, opened twenty years earlier than us, and the third major region has not yet been opened.
After speaking, he asked with a smile: "Dean, do you have anything to add?"
The official Saints greedily chewed and digested this knowledge.
They only knew that ancient practitioners existed, and that after being promoted to Saints, the background of the dungeons became the Song Dynasty, but they only knew what it was, but not why.
Zhu Mingxu's words solved many doubts in the hearts of the official Saints.
"As expected of someone from The Way of the Extraordinary family, his knowledge is abundant," the female Saint Xia Chaoxue sighed.
"This is their unique foundation," another Saint said enviously.
The Dean unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly:
"Very well said, but you have said everything I was going to say; what should I talk about?"
The students laughed.
Zhu Mingxu shrugged, somewhat proud.
The Dean said with a smile:
"Just as student Zhu Mingxu said, the Sovereign-level dungeons correspond to the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms periods. Qin Feng Academy is a Sovereign-level dungeon. Those familiar with history should know that the Qin Dynasty's five elements belong to wood, so it is also the gang dungeon of the Hundred Flowers Association.
"The predecessor of Qin Feng Academy was the royal academy, which contains a lot of information about Qin Dynasty practitioners, artifact illustrations collected by the First Emperor, etc. Copies of the information and illustrations will be distributed to everyone after class. Those who are interested can learn about them.
Scholars who study the history of The Way of the Extraordinary have given titles to the dynasties according to the changes in the strength of ancient practitioners: Immortal Qin, Divine Han, Holy Tang, Taoist Song, Martial Ming.
"The characteristics of Immortal Qin are a hundred schools of thought contending, Sovereigns and Demigods, actively participating in politics, promoting their own ideas and concepts, and participating in national disputes. The contention of a hundred schools of thought is the most wonderful, but it is also the most chaotic. In the Han Dynasty, practitioners were completely institutionalized, conferred as kings and generals, commanding troops, and managing government affairs, and their military strength reached a peak. All dynasties were destroyed by weakness, but the Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength, so it is called Divine Han.
"In the Tang Dynasty, with the depletion of spiritual power, Demigods disappeared, Sovereigns sharply decreased, and Saints became the mainstay, so it is called Holy Tang. Here, student Zhu Mingxu should correct that the ceiling of the Tang Dynasty dungeon is Sovereign, not Saint.
"In addition, the practitioners in the Tang Dynasty were also institutionalized, thus creating a glorious dynasty."
The old Dean unscrewed the thermos cup again, took a sip, and gave the students time to digest and absorb.
Putting the lid on the cup,
He slowly said:
"After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains fell apart, and after a sixty-year period of chaos, practitioners retreated from the world and established many sects. From then on, practitioners changed from the imperial court to the Jianghu, and the Taoist Song Dynasty, with its immortal and demonic sects, came into being."
"I am very clear about this period of history. As a Princess, the old hag also began to practice after joining the immortal sect," Zhang Yuanqing nodded secretly as he listened.
The students listened with fascination. This was knowledge they had never heard or come into contact with before.
As expected of a high-level training class for cultivating the backbone of the official side.
Hongjige raised his hand and interrupted loudly:
"Then why is there no Yuan Dynasty in the dungeon?" The old Dean smiled:
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it later. After talking about the history of ancient practitioners, let's talk about the Mythological Era. In fact, the myths that have been passed down to this day are another history of ancient practitioners.
"In the primitive era when human civilization was just beginning to sprout, practitioners already existed. In the eyes of mortals, they were like gods, possessing incredible power.
"Currently, the only mythological figure that can be confirmed is Wa Huang."
Hearing this name, Zhang Yuanqing was refreshed. He raised his hand and asked:
"How was it confirmed?"
Dean Li Yanxi explained:
"The Great Elder of the Hundred Flowers Association obtained an item while raiding Qin Feng Academy. The name of that item is 'Wa Huang's Embrace'. According to the item's attribute description, it is an artifact refined by Wa Huang and belongs to the Musician profession.
After in-depth analysis and research by official scholars, and the collection of many clues and evidence, it has basically been determined that the ancient practitioner was Nuwa in mythology."
"Wa Huang's Embrace" was obtained in Qin Feng Academy, and Qin Feng Academy is a Qin Dynasty dungeon, the academy in the First Emperor's palace. Therefore, the First Emperor possessed some clues about that Wa Huang. He confirmed that there were treasures in Takamagahara based on these clues.
Therefore, behind the stone gate, there is really something Xu Fu wanted to obtain, but was sealed by Qin Shihuang, which is related to the bronze sacred tree of Takamagahara.
Combining this known information, Zhang Yuanqing has completely confirmed that the stone gate must have something to unlock the secrets of Takamagahara.
At this time, Xiahou Aotian asked:
"There are countless characters in myths and legends, most of which are false. Dean, how do you distinguish between true myths and false myths?"
At this time, the protagonist did not have the slightest flamboyant pretense, but more like a top student immersed in academic discussion.
And he's a top student who's so handsome it's ridiculous.
Li Yanxi was not in a hurry to answer, unscrewed the thermos lid, drank water to moisten his throat, and slowly said:
"The immortal gods related to Taoism and Buddhism are all false. Myths that are not systematic are more credible. Haha, Taoism sprouted in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while Taoism sprouted in the Warring States period. At that time, it was the Immortal Qin and Divine Han era, so the Taoist immortal gods are all fictional. Buddhism is even more unnecessary to mention.
"Some mythological stories in famous literary works are also false and belong to fiction. After excluding these, and then looking at the mythological system, there are actually not too many, mainly chaos."
Xiahou Aotian nodded, indicating that he understood.
While everyone was still thinking, Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and asked:
"I heard that, as myths, the myths of the first major region, and even the Norse mythology, which is the mythology of the suspected unactivated third major region, are extremely complete. Only
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Yeguo Reading, .yeguoyuedu install the latest version. ]
Our second major region's myths are pieced together and are not systematic. May I ask why this is?"
Li Yanxi was immediately impressed. If you don't have some skills and don't know much about the history of The Way of the Extraordinary, you can't ask this kind of question.
Norse mythology is the mythology of the unactivated third major region?
Everyone was stunned.
Several Saints from The Way of the Extraordinary families, as well as Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang, couldn't help but look at Yuanshi Tianzun.
Even they didn't know this, and they had never heard their elders mention it -
"The mainstream view at present is that a major disaster occurred in our second major region in ancient times. No, maybe more than one. In short, the disaster led to a break in civilization, so the myths and legends are chaotic," Li Yanxi said:
"As for what kind of disaster it was, no one knows."
After answering Yuanshi Tianzun's question, he was silent for a few seconds, and seeing that no one asked questions, he continued the lesson:
"After talking about ancient history, let's talk about the history after the birth of The Way of the Extraordinary. At the beginning of the Republic of China, the first generation of The Way of the Extraordinary was born. At that time, there were not many The Way of the Extraordinary, and there were no dungeon guides. Everything relied on self-exploration, so the mortality rate was extremely high. For a long time, the pioneers were stuck at the Extraordinary stage.
"At that time, the world was turbulent, China was sinking, and people were not living well. Many The Way of the Extraordinary had to take action to kill enemy troops in order to protect their homes and relatives, which led to their merit points falling below the red line and being wanted by The Way of the Extraordinary. By the way, during the war, killing enemy troops was not considered punishing evil and promoting good, but was regarded as slaughtering ordinary people.
"At that time, The Way of the Extraordinary in the first major region had developed for twenty years. Sovereigns were rare, but there were many Saints. They obtained a lot of rewards by hunting our The Way of the Extraordinary.
The current dominance of Heavenly Punishment is all based on the foundation laid in those years. It is the glory obtained by stepping on the corpses of our ancestors. In those twenty or thirty years, the local The Way of the Extraordinary, whether orderly or evil, died in batches as soon as they emerged, and their number and level could not be accumulated.
It was not until the end of World War II and the world was peaceful that the number of The Way of the Extraordinary reached today's scale after nearly a hundred years of accumulation."
As the Dean told the story,
It was as if a picture full of blood and fire had been opened before everyone's eyes.
It was difficult for the pioneers to start their businesses!
Li Yanxi gave everyone a buffer time of up to thirty seconds and said:
"Next is the focus of this lesson. In the study of the history of The Way of the Extraordinary, there are four mysteries that have not been solved to this day." He first whetted everyone's appetite, and seeing that the students pricked up their ears and showed great interest, he slowly said:
"First, the reason for the depletion of spiritual power; second, why there are no dungeons in The Way of the Extraordinary during the war years; third, the reason why the third major region is not open; fourth, how The Way of the Extraordinary was born.
Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, it will be more exciting!
"
For one hundred and ten years, countless The Way of the Extraordinary scholars have been committed to overcoming these four mysteries,
But no one has succeeded, and they have become unsolved mysteries.
He glanced over Zhu Mingxu, Liu Yushu, Zhao Feiwen, Sun Miaomiao and other students from prominent families, and said with a smile:
"Several of you have unusual backgrounds. Have the elders in your families ever mentioned these topics? Take them out and discuss them with everyone. Knowledge can only play its value in dissemination and discussion."
The students looked at the "children of aristocratic families" with anticipation. Zhao Feiwen frowned: "I heard from the elders in my clan that the depletion of spiritual power may be due to the exhaustion of resources."
Xiahou Aotian sneered: "Stupid, if that's the case, where does the spiritual power we use come from?"
Liu Yushu pondered:
"The elders of the family made such a guess that The Way of the Extraordinary was man-made. Whether it is the attribute panel, moral values, dungeons, or item attributes, they all have strong game attributes, and the artificial traces are serious, which is by no means a supernatural phenomenon.
"They believe that it was an alien civilization that created The Way of the Extraordinary." This is just a simple brain hole and lacks evidence.
"Is there anything else?" The Dean was a little disappointed. Such an answer obviously did not satisfy him.
He originally thought that these students from aristocratic families would have some unique insights, even if they were unconventional arguments.
As a result, their understanding of this aspect is quite shallow and not much stronger than that of grassroots students.
Perhaps the elders in the family feel that there is no need to discuss these unsolved mysteries with their children, and it is of little significance.
"Even as the class monitor, I can't answer this kind of question." Xiahou Aotian suddenly thought of Yuanshi Tianzun's act of swindling his money yesterday, and he was inspired. He immediately followed suit and shouted:
"Dean, why not ask Yuanshi Tianzun? He has a deep understanding of the history of The Way of the Extraordinary."
Li Yanxi immediately looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and said with a smile:
"Then please our genius to express his opinion." The students from The Way of the Extraordinary families curled their lips. Yuanshi Tianzun, a grassroots The Way of the Extraordinary, has no elders to teach him and no family inheritance. It is impossible for him to master information that is inconsistent with his level.
But Peony Fairy and Niulanshan Little Fairy, these official Saints, are full of expectations for Yuanshi Tianzun.
They watched Yuanshi Tianzun grow up on the forum. Watching him become a god step by step, creating legendary achievements.
Therefore, the official Wayfarers have blind confidence in Yuanshi Tianzun.
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and responded loudly: "Except for the second unsolved mystery, I know something about the other three, but this is not something that can be said publicly."
He really knows? What a load of bull!
Zhao Feiwen and others looked unbelieving.
The other students became interested, and their eyes lit up in unison.
Dean Li Yanxi showed a different look, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and pondered:
"Even relevant clues are priceless and are indeed not suitable for public speaking. What are your conditions?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately said:
"Pay tuition, one million per person, write an IOU and pay after leaving the dungeon. Those who don't want to listen can go out."
Even the protagonist Xiahou Aotian was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, why didn't I think of this way to make money?
Immediately, he sadly discovered that he was going to be swindled by Yuanshi Tianzun for a large sum of money again.
Because he wanted to stay and listen.
