Chapter 1995: Seeing Yao Ting Again (1/2)

When Li Qiye made it to the outskirt of the academy, the registration for new students was about to end so the entrances were less frequented.

He was slightly moved while staring at the place from the distance. People came and went; geniuses replaced by young faces after each generation. Regardless of these changes, the academy remained standing.

If it were to fall one day, the hundred races would face an existential crisis.

It wasn’t to say that the academy was the root of the hundred races. However, losing it would result in a loss of morale and a sanctuary.

It was different from other sects. The latter could be narrow-minded and selfish but the academy was all-accepting.

Thus, cultivation aside, the alumni from here were more knowledgeable after training and living with others.

It was to open the shackles of the mind, so that these youths could see how vast the world was and build relations.h.i.+ps with others.

Thus, Arrogance could afford to not have lineages like Archaic Repository and Mysterious Bamboo, but it needed the academy.

Without these sects, other imperial lineages could rise up and take their places. There was no way of rebuilding the academy.

Why? There would never be another Immortal Emperor Fei or Deep South Divine Emperor. To a certain extent, it wasn’t just Fei who spent tremendous effort on its creation. The academy was also Deep South’s masterpiece.

The majestic sceneries here stirred Li Qiye. Too many talents have been here including Immortal Emperors from the nine worlds. He himself had taught here.

Alas, he didn’t leave his name behind like Immortal Emperor Fei Yang and Immortal Emperor Hao Hai, only acting as the secretive crow like always. Thus, though he had taught some invincible characters, there was nothing written about him here.

As time pa.s.sed, people eventually left regardless of how powerful they were unlike this eternal academy.

Images began to play in his head even before reaching the entrance. Certain youths came in, full of vigor. Eventually, they came out as masters. Today, he has returned but all of these people were no longer around.

Some students were still rus.h.i.+ng back to the academy. The majority of this group were ordinary students because those from powerful sects could run back whenever. They had more access to resources and dao portals.

As for the other group, they were either training or going back to visit family. Most had to either travel on the ground or fly. Perhaps some had access to dao portals with limited range. This was the reason why time was more pressing for these students to return, especially if something unexpected happened during their journey.

These rus.h.i.+ng students didn’t give Li Qiye a second glance. After all, he was too ordinary in appearance. There was no time for them to care about a stranger.

Eventually, he withdrew his gaze and started walking towards the academy.

“Dao Brother Li.” Suddenly, a cute voice came from a girl running over.

It was Yao Ting. She was slightly out of breath with a pink complexion, heaving up and down.

Li Qiye stopped and smiled at her.

“We meet again, Dao Brother.” She was pleasantly surprised to see him since she didn’t expect another meeting after the village.
