Chapter 483 Preach (1/2)
Shen Lian responded, ”So you will be teaching without discrimination.”
”Yes,” Guan Longzi replied with a serious face.
Shen Lian looked at him, sighed and said, ”Although teaching without discrimination is not absolutely fair, it is fair enough. Do you know what are the consequences of this?”
Guan Longzi remained silent for a moment and replied, ”If it was not me, someone else would have done the same.”
Shen Lian smiled and said, ”That's great.”
No one knew if he was referring to the idea or Guan Longzi's character, but it did not matter.
Guan Longzi's student recruitment and preaching was the first blow towards Xia Kingdom's strict policies on hierarchy. It was an open challenge towards the power of the aristocrats and royalties.
The Xuanzhen Temple and Buddhist sects had done such acts too but they all fell to the strict control of Xia Kingdom. Even if the Seven Disciples of Xuanzhen were the noble guests of the aristocratic families, they still could not change the situation.
The academy was a vast little tiny world but the interior of it was mainly bare and looked somewhat ridiculous. Even if Xia Kingdom had a big collection of books, it only took up a small area of the school.
Of course, Emperor Xia knew about this little tiny world but the aristocratic families and royalties' style of cultivation were not connected to their spirits and thus, they could not control this little tiny world.
That was why the Prefect Grand Astrologer was in charge of this place. Although the Prefect Grand Astrologer did not practice Qigong to refine their spirits, the cultivation of their psyche were as deep as the connoisseurs of Daoism and Buddhism. Besides, this was Diqiu. Even the most powerful Daoist and Buddhist would not dare to mess with such a precious place.
Shen Lian knew exactly what this tiny little world has to offer. The Buddhist sect had a supernatural power known as the Buddhist Kingdom on the Palm. What made the cultivation of this power so difficult was the requirement to have a fragment of this tiny little world.
According to legend, there were twenty-four worlds to the ancient Dipamkara Buddha which were transformed into heavens with supernatural powers that could match the Heavenly King. When the Heavenly King was at his peak, he dominated the universe with celestial beings and Buddhas that surrendered to him. However, the ancient Dipamkara Buddha was one of the few that did not bow down to the Heavenly King.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Daoism too had a similar spell known as the technique of 'Having an Ace Up One's Sleeve'.
The technique of 'Having an Ace Up One's Sleeve' was not the spell that Shen Lian used to store items. It was the ultimate celestial art that could entrap and suppress the enemy. However, even with the rich history of Qing Xuan, there was no inheritance to this celestial art.
Shen Lian knew how precious this school was but he had no greed in his mind. He knew that he would be able to open a new world in the void one day in the future.
However, he did not want to stay at such a barren place and thus he brought the water of Xia Canal to the school and planted some green vines. He also brought some seeds of the Plane tree from the Prefect Grand Usher's manor and planted it around the school. Overnight, the school had a full transformation. The green vines wrapped around the structure of the school that had land full of grass with Plane trees along the walkway.
Such green landscape would require ten to twenty years to form but it only took Shen Lian a day to achieve it.
Guan Longzi was amazed and felt that it was a great decision to host Shen Lian.
The reason why he hosted Shen Lian was not just to seek knowledge from him but also to have a better understanding of the person who appeared in the prophecy.
