Necropolis Immortal

es, combat arts, and cultivation methods that Lu Yun sold aren’t primordial ones, but contemporary ones that Qing Yu created with formula dao!”

“It’s too powerful a supplemental path to ignore.
Once it’s popularized in the world of immortals, we’ll be at a great disadvantage.
Leave for Dusk Province at once and enroll in the Dao Academy for formula dao!”

The impact of the new supplemental path rippled through the world of immortals.
Peak clans lost their composure and changed their minds about snubbing the new faction, immediately forming lists of who to send to Dusk.
To be honest, it would be impossible for them to keep their people under control with this new revelation, even if they wanted to.

Formula dao… what a terribly great invention.

“There’s a reason why Qing Yu is the sovereign of immortal dao, alright!”

Now that the Dao Flower had bloomed and the immortal dao emerged, powerful immortals could sense information about supplemental paths through the immortal dao.
Groups of knowledge-seekers assembled and rushed to Dusk Province from all over the world, their eagerness quickly doused when they actually arrived at the Dao Academy.

Although it’d been established, it wasn’t operating just yet.
Moreover, anyone who wished to enter the academy had to follow its rules.

The Dao Academy welcomed anyone from all parts of the world of immortals.
Cultivators could study for free and would actually receive subsidies such as immortal crystals, pills, and treasures.
Immortals, on the other hand, had to pay a great sum of crystals in order to enroll.

……

On the first day of the second month in the first Xuanhuang year, the Dao Academy finally opened its doors to pupils.
Close to a million immortals and hundreds of thousands of cultivators or ordinary mortals swarmed into the academy to become its disciples.

Most of the immortals came from the major factions in the world of immortals.
There were very few wandering immortals since they were at the mercy of the major factions and considered private property.
Naturally, the factions would prevent their wandering immortals from visiting Dusk Province.

As for the cultivators and ordinary mortals, they were from all over Nephrite Major.
Zhao Shenguang ruled over Nephrite and he was a sidekick of Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi.
All bad blood between Dusk and Nephrite was thus wiped clean.

……

“The six supplemental paths of the Dao Academy are the formula, pill, equipment, formation, talisman, and medicine dao!”

“Oh? There are also different branches of immortal dao—monster spirit, divine, demon, and shaman dao!”

“There are also different paths for training, including martial, sword, saber, lance…”

“Hmm? What are these?” someone yelped in surprise.
“New cultivation methods?!”

“A constitution method, breathing method, and body-tempering martial art!”

“An elemental breathing method and associated boxing technique…”

“Nascent spirit methods! An observation method and combat method… Heavens, the greatest weakness of all immortals has been resolved by Lu Yun—no, by the headmaster!”

“The Facet Observation Method!”

“The constitution and nascent spirit methods are revolutionary, even more so than the formula dao!”

“Lu Yun can’t possibly be a young man who’s only cultivated for six years, can he?”

Beams of light soared into the sky from the Dao Academy, displaying everything that would be taught here.
Immortals who’d entered the campus could barely stop themselves from fainting when they realized the copious bounty available to them.

“No peak faction would ever be in a mood to share should they get their hands on any one of these,” someone murmured.
“They would never allow just anyone to learn the methods, let alone everyone.”

“Alright,” Lu Yun said from a distance.
“What you see is what the Dao Academy is going to teach to everyone.
Of course, this is all merely foundational knowledge.
Nothing’s been perfected yet.
Every great dao, every heritage, every combat art and cultivation method in the world cannot be perfected without the collective wisdom of all lives.”

“Everyone is permitted entrance to learn our heritage and legacies.
At the same time, the academy will be learning from you in order to refine these methods.
I hereby declare the official commencement of the Dao Academy!

“All one million six hundred eighty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-six of you are now the first batch of outer disciples of the Dao Academy.
You will be living in Dao City.”

“The outer academy teaches only the basics.
There,” Lu Yun pointed at the Dao Palaces up Mount Xuanhuang, “in those palaces lies the inner academy.
After sixty years of study in the outer academy, disciples will undergo a trial for the privilege to enter the inner academy.
If you pass, you will then be inner disciples and be personally taught by the dean of each path!

“Those who fail to pass the trial after sixty years will be expelled and sent home.”
