Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

710 There Is No Royal Road to Learning

The sound of reading came from one of the islands. It was a Confucian student reading the classics of the sage.

In front of the academy was the public area with all sorts of venues and buildings. Behind it was a large lake. The islands in the lake were the areas where each of the divisions was located. They didn’t interfere with each other. Usually, most of the area would be shrouded in fog.

But now, a new island had appeared out of thin air near the Confucian division island. It had appeared out of thin air suddenly in the middle of the lake.

The group of people arrived at the inner court, which was the lake area.

“A college, an island. A theory, an island. This is the Immortal Academy. As long as any theory is recognized by the Immortal Academy, an island will be born in the inner academy, which is the endless ocean of thought in front of us. This island will be an independent area owned by the major colleges. Everything on the island belongs to the college. However, you will be the ones to build it. ”

Cai Yong pointed at the island in the lake and said slowly, “That Island is the island where the Confucian is located, and the new island that has just been created is the island that belongs to agriculture. You can build a Holy Land for agriculture on the island. Sooner or later, there will be a large number of islands in the sea of knowledge and it will become extremely prosperous!”

The lake was the sea of knowledge.

The ocean of knowledge was the condensation of the people’s desire to learn. How big the ocean of knowledge was depended on how much knowledge, how many scholars, how many books there were, and how big the people’s desire to learn was.

Of course, the ocean of knowledge here represented the cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Dawn and the number of books in the Scripture Library. Since ancient times, the wisdom of scholars would become the seawater in the sea of knowledge.

As time passed, the sea of knowledge would become boundless.

Furthermore, ordinary ships were unable to float on the surface of the sea of knowledge. Once one went up, one would sink directly to the bottom, even more directly than a weight.

“That’s great! Where’s the boat? We’ll head over right away. Once we reach the island, we’ll immediately begin building the college. It shall be called the Shennong College!” Song Yingxing looked at the newly-born Island, his eyes filled with anticipation.

That island was the foundation of the farmers. The future of the farmers lay on the island.

“Don’t worry. The sea of knowledge can’t be crossed using ordinary methods. Let’s take a look at the stone tablet first!” said Cai Yong with a smile.

In front of the sea of knowledge, there was a tall stone tablet with a sentence written on it- There is no royal road to learning!

Huang Chengyan explained, “The sea of knowledge uses hard work as the boat. Other boats can’t do as they pleased on the sea. Above the sea of knowledge, there’s a unique ancient tree called the bitter tree. It grows on the islands in the sea. After every student enters the island, a sapling of the bitter tree will be born on the island. This tree belongs to each student. Only one’s diligence can make it grow. The harder one works, the faster it grows, and the more it can grow into a towering tree. It’ll accompany one for life. Everyone had to rely on their bitter tree to cross the sea of knowledge. When the bitter tree turns into a boat, then one can cross the sea of knowledge.”

This was a unique benefit that belonged to the Immortal Academy, and it was also a great fortune.

The bitter tree could be planted in one’s body and the sea of divinity. It was considered a special spiritual root. It didn’t absorb the heaven and earth vitality but only one’s hard work. The more diligent one was, the faster the bitter tree grew, and it could turn into a boat. Not only in the sea of knowledge but when one reached a certain level, flying in the air and having an airboat was something that was also very normal. This was a good fortune given by the Immortal Academy.

“Even if there’s a bitter tree, we’ll still need to reach the island on the other side. Without the bitter tree, how can we reach the island?” Song Yingxing immediately frowned.

This was a difficult problem for him.

“Don’t worry. There will be a Boat of Diligence to pick you up on your first trip. However, one could only rely on oneself to enter or leave the island afterward. The newly-born bitter tree could transform into a Boat of Diligence, but that was just a small floating board. It didn’t even have the appearance of a boat at all. Brother Song, please be careful when you go in and out in the future,” said Huang Chengyan with a smile.

He had embarrassed himself before and was almost lost in the sea of knowledge.

Rattle…

With a wave of water, a huge black Boat of Diligence came into view. It rode the wind and waves, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, and appeared on the shore in the blink of an eye.

There was no boatman on the Boat of Diligence. There was no one there.

“As long as you step onto the Boat of Diligence, it will send you directly to the island. The Boat of Diligence will appear every time a new island is born. It won’t appear at other times,” said Cai Yong with a smile.

Song Yingxing didn’t say anything and boarded the boat first.

The agricultural students followed behind, but Li Xiang and the others did not.

They watched as Song Yingxing and the others were brought to the huge island by the Boat of Diligence. In the blink of an eye, they were already quite far away.

“Sea of knowledge, bitter tree. Elder Cai, if I want to land on these islands in the future, don’t tell me I’ll have to plant a bitter tree before I can cross the sea of knowledge,” said Li Xiang to Cai Yong with a smile.

Cai Yan explained with a smile, “No need. The Boat of Diligence in the sea of knowledge is your ride. Country Lord can board the boat anytime you wish and cross the sea of knowledge smoothly. Only Country Lord and I can to use the Boat of Diligence. I’m the master of the academy, so I’m born with this power. The Immortal Academy belongs to you, so you naturally have the right to mobilize the Boat of Diligence.”

The sea of knowledge could stop anyone except Li Xiang. From the moment it was established, the Immortal Academy had formed a unique connection with Li Xiang. It was connected to the Kingdom of Dawn and was integrated with the kingdom’s destiny.

“That’s good! I hope that there will be more islands in the sea of knowledge as soon as possible. This will be a truly prosperous place with the islands.”

Li Xiang looked at the empty sea of knowledge and sighed.

He looked forward to the future in the sea of knowledge where there would be a Hundred Schools of Thought and all the major sects. They would all be competing. They could even turn the Immortal Academy into a supreme Holy Land. Regardless of whether they were scholars or transcendent cultivators, they would be proud to enter the Immortal Academy.

The Immortal Academy would certainly become a place of legend.

“Alright, we won’t be visiting today. A huge battle is still waiting to be cleaned up. The ten acres of the spiritual field need to be protected, and the spiritual spring is even more important. There is no room for any mistakes. The snow crystal rice also needs to be harvested immediately.”

Li Xiang didn’t intend to land on the other islands. He just came to take a look to satisfy his curiosity.
