Chapter 1083: Chapter 72: Eighty-Two Years Cultivating the Mountain, The Young Emperor Wu (End of Volume)
"Let the Saint Heir take the seat!!!" Meng Kun shouted with all his might, almost breaking his voice.
"Let the Saint Heir take the seat!!!"
The crowd behind him all bowed in salute.
Zhao Xing, who was about to disembark, was startled.
Are you not pretending anymore?
Previously, when terms like Saint Heir were mentioned, it was mostly in jest.
But today Meng Kun directly shouted it out with people!
Why is this happening?
The reason still lies in that Imperial Decree.
Emperor Jing ordered the Kunyuan Academy to hold a sacred return ceremony, in which the arrangements for the Shennong Hoe and Zhao Xing were clearly stated: "Xing shall wield the Shennong Hoe, be appointed Spirit Mountain Envoy, and be noted in the scriptures of the sages."
This means that Zhao Xing could at least initially harness the power of the Shennong Hoe and was appointed as the third rank Spirit Mountain Envoy at Kunyuan Academy’s Spirit Ruins Blessed Land, instructed to immerse himself in the study of the Sinong Saint’s scriptures.
With Emperor Jing saying this, why would Meng Kun pretend?
He simply called the Saint Heir.
"Should I go down or not?" Zhao Xing was somewhat stunned, looking at Li Boqian beside him.
To shout this aloud in public, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?
It’s not like we’re in the feudal Ancient Era anymore, what’s Lao Meng doing?
"Why are you looking at me?" Li Boqian rolled his eyes, "They are calling you, not me."
If it were someone weak in cultivation who merely brought the item back, it wouldn’t warrant such superb treatment.
But who is Zhao Xing? He authored the "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory", the "Two Sutras Commentary Collection", and the "Theory of Objects and Magic".
He practices "Kunpeng Transformation", "At a Glance", "Ten Thousand Skill Grassman", "Hanhai Palace"...
He understands both the magic and the principles, and his realm is high.
Now he can wield the Shennong Hoe, which naturally carries a different significance.
This isn’t someone lucky enough to merely pick up the Shennong Hoe.
This is heritage! It is the will of the Earth God in the unseen! It symbolizes the rise of Kunyuan Academy!
During Zhao Xing’s moment of stupefaction, the sea-roaring welcome resounded again:
"Let the Saint Heir take the seat!"
There’s no way around it; they’ve already shouted three times.
If he doesn’t go, it would be putting on airs.
Helplessly, Zhao Xing had to hold the Shennong Hoe and step from the court’s ceremonial boat onto the cloud path, arriving at the carriage prepared by Kunyuan Academy.
The carriage was a treasure-grade Earth Battle Carriage.
Five meters long, ten meters wide, with a Divine Stone seat at its center, behind which lay the [Earth Emperor Peak], yet another treasure-grade divine artifact.
Such specifications were only used once when Xuan Yuan Qingtian nurtured the fifteenth-ranked Spirit Mountain in the world, the [Qingtian Mountain].
Now, Zhao Xing sat on it.
The Fire Phoenix roared, and the Heavenly Dragon hummed, pulling the carriage forward.
The cloud path layered, shifting horizontally above Zhao Xing’s road left and right, beginning to flow.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
After setting the carriage, the Yunmen Great Drums began to beat, while musicians danced on either side.
They did not obstruct Zhao Xing’s direct line of sight, and should he wish to admire, he could see in his peripheral vision at any time.
The ritual officers from the court who were sending off watched with curiosity.
After all, such a scene might not be witnessed even once in a lifetime.
The grand reception began from East Stone County, circled Dao Yuan Continent, and took a full three months to return to Kunyuan Academy.
The entire Dao Yuan Continent now knew that the peerless treasure, the Sinong supreme artifact, one of Earth’s Divine Artifacts, the ’Kunyuan Divine Hoe’, had returned to Kunyuan Academy.
Bringing it home was the third-rank Spirit Mountain Envoy, Duke Divine Might Zhao Xing!
Returning within the academy was still not the end.
Even more people were here!
Xuan Yuan Qingtian personally led the deans, vice-deans, and Doctors of Governance of the five major institutes, virtually everyone in the academy leadership who could come, all mobilized, standing in front of Kunyuan Palace, waiting.
Although it is called Earth’s Divine Artifact, it also belongs to the Minister of Agriculture Divine Artifact! It holds extraordinary significance, so the Sinong experts from Shangluo Academy and Xuantian Academy also came, most of them.
Such as Ling Tianchen of the Marquis Transformation Sect, Doctor Zhang Tianxing, and Deputy Dean Hu Yang.
Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang of Xuanlei Academy.
Sima Yunhai and Lu Chunhua of Yunzhong Institute.
Along with Wang Tianzhi, Wang Xuan Yi, and others.
Looking around, the concentration of Sinong experts was almost overwhelming.
"If a spark were to be fired here to blow this place up, Great Zhou might collapse within a hundred years." Zhao Xing thought recklessly.
Wouldn’t it collapse? If this place were destroyed, high-grade Sinong would almost be extinct.
High-grade Martial Artists wouldn’t eat low-level food either; without high-grade Sinong planting, maintaining the world’s stability wouldn’t last a hundred years, and the overall strength of other professions’ high grades would also regress significantly.
"Tian Ning, when you accepted disciples back then, did you ever imagine this day?" In the viewing area on a royal boat, Princess You Ruo smiled and asked.
"Hahaha, even in my dreams, I wouldn’t dare to dream like this," Liu Tianning stood with his hands behind his back, rarely laughing heartily.
Princess You Ruo leaned against Liu Tianning, and behind them, Ji Zixuan promptly closed the door and exited.
She moved to another room to watch, behind which was a group of painters, recording scene after scene.
"Senior Brother truly is a child of Qi Fortune!"
.....
"I really didn’t expect this," Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan watched from afar, "When we discovered him in Canghai Cave Heaven, we only thought he had great talent but didn’t expect he would become such a great figure in the blink of an eye."
Heng Yuan also nodded: "At that time, when we recruited him, he was just at the Fifth Rank Realm? That was only twenty-seven years ago."
"Not only has he achieved such feats, but he’s even found the Shennong Hoe."
"Luckily, Sima Yunhai didn’t stop him, otherwise he would have been guilty."
Sima Yunhai beside them bristled: "What nonsense are you talking! In all matters, focus on actions, not intentions. If talking about teaching, you, Heng Yuan, didn’t contribute at all; at least I taught him the Yunmen method!"
