After three days of enlightenment in the dojo, Li Qingshan had broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm. He had mastered countless Great Paths and stuffed them into the body of the Buddha of the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures.
He walked out of the dojo and saw the elderly man dozing off at the side.
Li Qingshan couldn’t see through the old man’s cultivation level. He was the guardian of the dojo and had built a small wooden hut beside it and rested here.
Li Qingshan walked over and called out softly, “Old man.”
The elderly man woke up from his nap. He looked at Li Qingshan and said sleepily, “You’re out. Just leave. You don’t have to tell me.”
Li Qingshan said sincerely, “Sir, I’d like to ask you how to earn points in the
Celestial Court Academy.”
Seeing Li Qingshan’s sincere attitude, the elderly man perked up and said, “It’s very simple to earn points. There are two ways. The first is to accept missions. The Celestial Court Academy will issue some missions. Once you complete it, you will be rewarded with points.”
“The second method is to explore the secret realm, discover treasures, and bring them back to the academy to exchange for points, ” The elderly man said.
“Exploration of a secret realm? What kind of secret realm is it?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“In this world, there are many experts who have opened up many middle worlds. Just like our academy, attached to the Immortal Plane but independent spaces. Ordinary people can’t find it. Moreover, many secret realms are owned by some top experts. They set up many dangers to prevent others from exploring. However, accidents happen. When a top expert falls, the realm they created becomes ownerless. These are called secret realms.” The elderly man explained to Li Qingshan in detail.
In order to listen, Li Qingshan squatted down beside the elderly man’s rocking chair and listened carefully.
Seeing Li Qingshan like this, the elderly man’s interest in talking became high, and he earnestly gave Li Qingshan pieces of advice.
“In the past, the Celestial Court discovered many secret realms. Some of them belonged to ancient experts, some belonged to Celestial Lords, and there were varied. Later, the Celestial Court Academy took over these ownerless secret realms and let the students explore them. You can keep the treasures you bring back or hand them over to exchange for points.”
“Every student is only allowed to explore once every six months.” The elderly man raised a finger and looked at Li Qingshan. He said seriously, “You have just broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, so it’s better not to explore. It’s very dangerous. At least wait until you are a Celestial Immortal!”
Li Qingshan nodded but didn’t agree. He continued to ask, “What’s your name, old man?”
“Because of all my ailments, you can call me Sick Old Man, hahaha,” The elderly man said humorously.
“I’m a junior, Li Qingshan,” Li Qingshan said his name.
“I’ll remember you. You’re very polite and handsome. You’re a good kid,” Sick Old Man praised Li Qingshan.
“You can continue to rest. I’ll go take a look at the place where I received the mission.” Li Qingshan bid farewell.
“Go ahead, earn more points, and come see me.” Sick Old Man waved his hand and said goodbye to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan stood up and left, flying towards the Mission Hall where he received the mission.
When Li Qingshan arrived at the Mission Hall, he found that it was crowded with people. There were at least a few thousand people. They were all accepting missions or completing them and coming over to settle their accounts.
“So everyone from the Celestial Court Academy is here. I thought we were the only ones here,” Li Qingshan said quietly.
The Celestial Court Academy didn’t accept outsiders. They were all members of the Celestial Court, and they had to make great contributions or pay a massive amount of crystals in exchange for a spot.
Therefore, it was already very good to have a few thousand people.
Moreover, it only accepted students in batches. After the previous batch left, the next batch would come.
There were thousands of people in the Mission Hall alone, and there were also people in other places. Li Qingshan estimated that there were nearly ten thousand students in the entire Celestial Court Academy.
Among these ten thousand people, there were young and old. Their cultivation levels varied. Some had surpassed Celestial Immortal, while others had just entered Human Immortal like A’man.
The Mission Hall was huge.
Receiving missions and handing over missions were all done by magic treasures. Li Qingshan saw that in the Mission Hall, the overseer was a book.
A black book with golden edges floated in the air, directing the other books to help the students with mission transactions.
“Don’t cut in line. Don’t squeeze. Line up properly. Otherwise, get out.” The black book saw that there were people who didn’t line up and squeezed forward. It roared angrily and shot out a beam of light that blasted those few unruly individuals away.
Li Qingshan was startled by this brutality.
This book was very powerful.
Moreover, it possessed its own intelligence and couldn’t be underestimated.
“This should be a top-grade celestial artifact or something that surpasses a top-grade celestial artifact!” Li Qingshan chose a queue with fewer people and muttered in his heart.
He knew that celestial artifacts were divided into high-grade, mid-grade, low-grade, and non-grade.
The five celestial artifacts that Li Qingshan had been rewarded by the Immortal Path Golden Ranking in the Dimensional Battlefield were non-grade and didn’t have much power.
The Full Moon that he had shattered in the defensive battle of Emperor’s Pass was a mid-grade celestial artifact.
As for the quality of the giant sword that Qingqing gave him?
Li Qingshan didn’t know. He only knew that the giant sword was formidable. It could effortlessly break a mid-grade celestial artifact.
Moreover, the giant sword had its own intelligence. It just didn’t want to bother with Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan had no choice but to give it time.
The black book flew into a rage and blasted those people away. However, it didn’t hurt them. It would only embarrass them. They dared not get angry even if they got up and obediently lined up..
