Chapter 784: God-Merging Raises Difficult Questions

It was evening, so the crowds of students in the Imperial University were thinning. Though there were some students who would stay in the university long-term, most of them left around evening. After all, what happened in the mortal world created fetters that held tight onto the heart. Severing them wasn’t easy.

At the moment, a group of people from the God-Merging School was making its way through the emptying university. They were clustered around their schoolmaster, who walked at a steady pace, looking very scholarly and refined. Given his status in the university, wherever he went, students would stop and salute him respectfully. He would look at them kindly and nod. When he encountered students from his own school of thought, he would stop, assess their cultivation, and give them some friendly tips. His words and actions conformed perfectly with what the university expected of a teacher. It was one of the reasons why the God-Merging School’s schoolmaster was so respected.

HIs actions drew the attention of many of the other schools of thought. Soon people realized that he was heading to the east. That was where the Xeno-Immortal School was located.

Many students who had been planning to leave were now swept up in the moment, and started following to see what was going to happen. Many already had speculations. It wasn’t really hard to guess what would play out shortly. After all, the Xeno-Immortal School and the God-Merging School were really at odds in their ideals. And that was especially noteworthy considering the recent revival going on in the Xeno-Immortal School. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cm

More and more students joined the crowd following the God-Merging School as they eventually arrived at the Xeno-Immortal School.

Xu Qing and his fellow students had just said their farewells and were about to leave. When he looked outside, his eyes glittered with a mysterious light, and he quickly backed up and stood behind someone else.

There were a few dozen conclave students working on their cultivation. All of them had green snowflakes inside them, and with that blessing, were able to produce large amounts of soul threads. The entire tower was full of the aura of Xeno-Immortal techniques, creating a pressure that even people outside could sense.

When the God-Merging School arrived, their godly aura entered the tower and clashed with the aura of the Xeno-Immortal techniques. The two seemed to be devouring each other, causing muffled rumbling sounds to echo out, like heavenly thunder.

The conclave students in the tower immediately noticed what was happening and opened their eyes. When they saw the God-Merging School outside, their expressions flickered, and they shot to their feet.

The schoolmaster of the God-Merging School stopped outside the tower.

The high-ranking members of the school, including Seventh Prince and the other chief student, entered ahead of him. The godly fluctuations coming off of them created something like a tempest that suppressed the Xeno-Immortal aura. The entire white tower filled with intense pressure, causing the Xeno-Immortal students to subconsciously back up.

Xu Qing’s pupils constricted. To him, it felt like a group of powerful grues from a forbidden ground, disguised in human skin.

“As it turns out, the Xeno-Immortal School is full of true evil,” Seventh Prince said, his eyes cold.

Xu Qing looked back at him with similarly cold eyes.

The eyes of the other conclave students of the Xeno-Immortal School glittered as they looked at the people from the God-Merging School. Though none of them had been members of the Xeno-Immortal School for long, and thus couldn’t really say they endorsed the place, it was a fact that the dao seeds had helped them a lot. In fact, no other school of thought could compare in that regard. The benefits were real, and none of them were inclined to abandon them. Therefore, this overtly rude and aggressive act immediately made them think of the people from the God-Merging School as enemies.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re an imperial prince on the outside,” one of the students said. “In the Imperial University, everyone is a student. Please, conduct yourself with dignity and speak with respect!”

Seventh Prince looked around apathetically, then took a few steps back to clear a path. The other high-ranking members of the God-Merging School did the same. Then their schoolmaster appeared. He looked calm as he walked into the tower. He didn’t so much as glance at any of the students present, but instead, focused his gaze on the higher level of the tower.

“Schoolmaster of the Xeno-Immortal School, we’ve come from the God-Merging School to pay a formal visit.”

He didn’t speak very loudly, but his voice contained immense pressure. All of the students of the Xeno-Immortal School had no choice but to bow their heads.

Xu Qing was in the crowd, and he was surreptitiously examining the schoolmaster from the God-Merging School. This was his second time seeing the schoolmaster, and the feeling of familiarity from last time once again appeared.

There’s something fishy about this person.

A moment later, a tremor passed through Xu Qing’s thoughts, and he shifted his gaze to the higher level of the tower. He had just sensed the fluctuations of another green soul seed.

Is that…?

Around then, the schoolmaster of the Xeno-Immortal School spoke from the higher level.

“We have different daos. What’s more, I’m too busy to see you. Please leave immediately and don’t disturb the cultivation of the students here.”

While the schoolmaster from the God-Merging School spoke in a calm and tranquil way, the schoolmaster from the Xeno-Immortal School spoke in a wild and arrogant way. Some of that was a result of rank and status. The God-Merging School was the number-one school of thought, so they needed to be calm and tranquil. And since the Xeno-Immortal School was rising to prominence, it made sense for them to be somewhat arrogant.

The words that had just been spoken prickled the ears of the people from the God-Merging School. However, their schoolmaster’s facial expression didn’t change, as if he didn’t care at all what the other schoolmaster just said. Looking around at the Xeno-Immortal students, he spoke in a kind tone that seemed almost like a sigh.

“The Imperial University is a place where a hundred flowers bloom. Differing views can be expressed freely here. I congratulate the Xeno-Immortal School on their revival. It’s only by the fierce competition between schools of thought that new innovation can occur. It’s the only way to find a truly suitable dao for humankind.

“However, if a revival is instigated by true evil, with no regard for the safety of the students, then I can’t accept that. Neither can the Imperial University. Neither can humankind.

“I’ve been studying various ancient records to confirm certain historical truths. According to my findings, the Xeno-Immortal School never had anything like a ‘Xeno-Immortal dao seed.’ That’s a new development. And the dao seeds all of you have in you have some very serious problems.

“I personally studied one such dao seed, and I saw clear evidence of evil. If you absorb them, then going forward, your life force, your cultivation base, and your thoughts will be under the control of someone else. What’s more… with a single thought on the part of your leaders, you’ll be made to pay the ultimate price. At best, your soul will dim, at worst, you’ll lose your life.

“Therefore, I came here today to provide a warning. The Xeno-Immortal School needs to stop using this method. Beyond that, I encourage all students here to extrude their dao seeds, lest they provoke true calamity on themselves.” freeweɓnovel.cѳm

His words caused no small amount of shock in the Xeno-Immortal School. The truth was that many students had wondered about this very possibility. However, the similarities between these dao seeds and those from imperial-class techniques were such that they’d been able to overlook that possibility. But now, a person as important as the schoolmaster of the God-Merging School brought up the same point. They couldn’t help but start thinking deeply about the situation.

Xu Qing had to admit that this schoolmaster from the God-Merging School, who seemed so familiar, had a way with words. It made sense that his little speech had already caused people to feel unsettled.

I wonder how our schoolmaster is going to resolve this situation.

Xu Qing looked toward the upper level of the tower.
