Chapter 978 - To the Library Again (1/2)

When those who had entered the Heavenly Sea Mystery Realm returned, a shocking piece of news spread, instantly shaking the whole Imperial Capital.

… someone had crossed the Crimson Lake Island three times!

But to the majority, they completely did not know what that meant. Was that very awesome?

Immediately, someone told them, “Do you know Zhao Lun? In the past, even Zhao Lun managed to reach the island twice, and he was already the first in a thousand years!”

With such a comparison, everyone had some idea.

Who was Zhao Lun?

He was a real genius that everyone thought highly of, certain that he could advance into Heavenly Body Tier in future! Moreover, it was possible that such a genius only appeared once every million years!

Now, there was another one that was even greater than Zhao Lun.

“Who exactly is this Ling Han?”

“You still don’t know? He came from a small world.”

“What, someone from a small world could also be that awesome? You think you can deceive me just because I haven’t studied much? I am not someone that has not seen a cultivator that has ascended from a small world. In the Shattering Void Tier, they would only have battle prowess of 15 Stars at most, and are practically trash”

“That’s your fault for being ill-informed and ignorant. This person is the emperor of a small world that has come through opening the sky.”

“Hiss!”

If the fact that Ling Han represented the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire and won the first place in the compet.i.tion between the three nations caused his reputation to rise, then now, his name really rung out through the whole Imperial Capital, and became known to all the forces in the city.

If he could mature, this man could very possibly become an ultimate elite of the Heavenly Body Tier in the future!

Of course, the Heavenly Body Tier was too difficult to reach. Firstly, doing so required a great amount of time, and secondly, required an extremely large amount of resources. If there wasn’t a powerful force to support him, this perhaps would remain only a possibility.

Some Sun Moon Tier forces had already decided to make Ling Han their son-in-law. As long as Ling Han nodded, they would nurture him with all their resources in hand, and in the future, their own clan would naturally become a clan with a Heavenly Body Tier elite, and become an influential force on the Joint Peace Planet.

But there were also some forces that revealed killing intent towards Ling Han, for example, the Luo Clan. They would definitely not allow Ling Han to mature and reach his full potential.

Amidst these turbulent waves in the darkness, Ling Han returned to the Academy.

The first thing he did was inform the Academy beforehand that he was planning to attempt breaking through into the Mountain River Tier.

Presently, he had only raised his cultivation level with the aid of Mountain River Stones, and lacked personal comprehension. He would only be limited to the peak stage of the low extreme, and could not possibly advance further than that. He had to cultivate an Immortal level cultivation technique to truly become an Immortal.

The Academy attached great importance to this matter, and deliberately sent out a well-experienced elder to safeguard his Dao.

Firstly, he naturally had to learn an Immortal level cultivation technique. Without the experience of a predecessor, and he had to invent his own cultivation technique, and that was definitely not a matter of eight or ten years, but an extensive project that would take a few hundred to a few thousand years of time.

Cultivation techniques of the low extreme were gifted by the Academy, but from the medium extreme onwards, cultivation techniques had to be redeemed through academic credits. However, because Ling Han had reached the Crimson Lake Island three times, the higher-ups of the Northern Inst.i.tution were naturally very pleased, and hence rewarded him with 1000 academic credits.

… One had to understand that an ordinary student of the low extreme would not be able to earn so many academic credits even in 10 years. This was very, very generous.

The cultivation technique that he was cultivating now was called “Seven Star Secrets’, a very ordinary cultivation technique; every student could obtain this cultivation technique from the Academy after they had reached the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier.

Since it was free, it was naturally impossible that it would be any high-grade item. After all, there was nothing so nice like reaping a harvest when no seeds were sown.

The person safeguarding his Dao was responsible for explaining cultivation techniques, and Ling Han could ask him for guidance if there was anything he did not understand.

An ordinary student would have three days to ask for guidance, but Ling Han had seven. This naturally was proof of the generous fondness of the higher-ups of the Northern Inst.i.tution.
