Chapter 1075: Chapter 71: Sensation at Kunyuan Academy, Zhao Xing’s Grand Entrance!
Is it a big problem? Zhao Xing’s heart tightened, and then he heard Liu Tianning begin to speak:
"Since you left, I also began to inherit the legacy of Shangluo Academy."
"The seven major institutes of Shangluo Academy – Divine Splendor, Divine Wood, Jiedao, Yuanming, Yuan Ji, Shuangsheng, and Military Envoy – have profound foundations. Due to smooth management, I have deep control over these seven institutes!"
"Even with Xu Xing’s advice and being extra cautious myself, my cultivation has skyrocketed each year."
"In the third year of Da Zhi, I was still at the Early Heaven Fortune stage, but by the beginning of the fourth year of Da Zhi, I was in the Middle Heavenly Destiny stage."
"People often say understanding the world’s fortune is difficult, but for me, it’s as simple as eating and drinking."
"Even if I don’t actively seek enlightenment, just by thinking, my realm continuously improves."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes, just by thinking, without actively seeking enlightenment, and the realm would improve?
How strong is Liu Tianning’s talent?
"Even if I’m just at Shangluo College gazing at the sky or bowing my head to look at those flowers and grass, I’m cultivating."
"Not actively seeking enlightenment, how is that possible?"
"I want to inherit the Treasure Divine Weapon, Treasure Plants, and inherit the Secret Techniques of various institutes... each of these involves enlightenment!"
"By the sixth year of Great Governance, I had already reached the Peak of Heavenly Fortune."
Even knowing the speed is fast, upon hearing Liu Tianning say so, Zhao Xing was still greatly shocked.
Three years! From Early Heaven Fortune to the Peak of Heavenly Fortune!
The premise was that both Liu Tianning and Xu Xing deliberately suppressed the speed.
Of course, this isn’t solely due to Liu Tianning’s strong talent.
Becoming the leader of Shangluo Academy and inheriting the academy’s longstanding foundation, his Qi fortune naturally skyrocketed.
The Heavenly Fortune Realm can be viewed from two angles.
One is the fortune of heaven and earth, and the other is personal fortune.
Looking again at Liu Tianning, he was born into a prominent family; his great-grandfather created Liu’s Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, and his elder brother is the renowned deputy dean of Lianhua Academy.
Though he faced setbacks in his youth, overall, he can be considered the favored child of heaven.
Luo Hou King and King Heavenly Destiny, a group of strong individuals, supported him, even allowing him to walk away unscathed after challenging more than half of the Daoist Academy.
Favored by Princess You Ruo, apprenticed under Xu Xing... Considering his life experiences, in terms of personal fortune, he can completely be called the ’Child of Qi Fortune’.
During Prince Liang’s rebellion, Liu Tianning greatly benefited as well.
He was appointed as Prince Taihe!
Now inheriting Shangluo Academy, for a person like him entering the Heavenly Fortune Realm would be very smooth.
After all, there are rarely lone wolves in the Heavenly Fortune Realm; they’re usually leaders of major forces. This is a characteristic of the Heavenly Fortune Realm.
Why did Emperor Jing want Zhao Xing to conduct covert cultivation as an official in the Blessed Land? Because becoming a Second-Rank Official mostly follows this process.
The Sect World’s Second-Rank, if wishing to transition from the early stage to the peak, also undergoes similar operations.
Fortune, Dao, Technique, Treasure – Liu Tianning lacks none, so his advancement is naturally swift!
"The faster I ascend, the more severe the drawbacks of the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man become."
Liu Tianning’s eyes were flickering.
"Sometimes I can clearly feel as if the heavens are instructing me something or seem to be giving me a mission."
"At times, I can hear the cries of the earth veins deep within the earth."
"I feel the fire’s rage, the wind’s roar, the water engulfing the earth, and all beings struggling..."
"My emotions fluctuate accordingly, knowing this is a drawback. My avatars can clearly see my changes."
"I discussed with my mentor to find ways to suppress and resolve it."
"How did you do it?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Cultivation." Liu Tianning said faintly, "Since as a Heavenly Fortune Realm individual I can’t solve this problem, then let’s look towards the Fate Palace Realm."
"..." Zhao Xing was speechless.
The higher the realm, the greater the drawbacks, and then wanting to suppress it by understanding the world’s Dao created even bigger issues.
It’s a vicious cycle indeed!
"Xu Xing wants to stop me... huh, but this old man is not even as good as me, how could he know there’s no solution at the Fate Palace Realm?!"
"He can’t ensure disciples’ safe cultivation of the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, but I, Liu Tianning, definitely can!"
"Teacher! Please sober up!!" Zhao Xing shouted angrily, grabbing Liu Tianning’s hand abruptly, and the Dragon Roar Clear Sound washed over Liu Tianning entirely.
At this moment, although Liu Tianning’s appearance remained calm, Zhao Xing could feel that Liu Tianning’s expression in the sea of consciousness was cold and held a sense of disdain for all beings.
Liu Tianning’s expression was eerie, seemingly a reflex, his hand clamped onto Zhao Xing’s wrist.
"Boom~"
Two Divine Souls collide!
"Clang!" A large bell rang within Liu Tianning’s sea of consciousness, simultaneously a lotus blossomed.
This wasn’t an attack but his second reflex to prevent his instinctual attack on Zhao Xing.
"Roar!" Zhao Xing’s sea of consciousness suddenly transformed into a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
Even so, Zhao Xing was shaken to dizziness.
Though he grew immensely in the Dragon Court Ancient Land, in terms of personal combat strength, regardless of Dao, technique, or soul, compared to Liu Tianning, he was still lacking greatly.
Moreover, Liu Tianning had already perfected the second tier of Derivation God Decision, while he was only on the first tier.
If not for the Dragon Emperor’s Law safeguarding him, he would be more than just dizzy, he’d sustain injuries.
"Boom~" The Qi Force spread out between them.
Just as it was about to blow towards the house, it was suddenly restrained.
A sobered Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing withdrew their hands simultaneously.
A third person suddenly appeared.
"Zhao Xing, are you alright?" Li Boqian frowned, stepping between the two.
"I’m fine" X2
Looking at the slightly dazed Liu Tianning and the shaking Zhao Xing, he couldn’t help but grasp Zhao Xing’s wrist, then picked up Liu Tianning’s hand, checking both of them thoroughly.
