My disciples are all the capital of the emperor

The seven people who appeared in the attic were naturally Dean Qin Tiannan and the heads of each hall, but Lu Changsheng was not among them.

Although Qin Tiannan originally wanted Lu Changsheng to represent Caotang to recruit some students, he had always been so resistant to recruiting students before, let alone now that he knew how incredibly strong this kid was.

It's incredibly difficult to even preach to that kid... I'd better forget about taking him as a disciple.

Countless people below turned their gazes toward Qin Tiannan and the others, their eyes filled with varying degrees of excitement, even though Lu Changsheng wasn't there.

But they knew that if they joined the Tibetan Academy, they would have the opportunity to hear that legendary figure preach.

"I'm sure you all know the rules by now. There are three stages in total, and those who make it to the end will be able to join the Hidden Dao Academy," Qin Tiannan said loudly. "Without wasting your time, let's begin."

Having said that, he waved his hand.

The door beneath the attic opened, revealing a dense forest.

In an instant, almost everyone in the venue rushed towards the entrance.

After hearing these words, the man in the blue robe and the others did not take any action.

The man in gray did not move either, but walked up to the man in blue with his head held high.

The man in the blue robe smiled. "Well, did it sell?"

The man in gray snorted: "Of course. There are plenty of powerful and wealthy young people coming to the academy for the enrollment ceremony this time, so they can certainly provide Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and pills."

"Congratulations."

The man in gray looked at the man in blue. "What, aren't you here to join the academy? Aren't you going in?"

The man in the blue robe smiled but did not speak.

The man in gray shrugged and walked towards the academy on his own. "Fine, whatever. I'm going back now. I hope you won't regret not being able to produce any Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques or pills when I see you at the academy."

After the man in gray left, the man in the green robe and his companions headed up to the upper floor.

If the man in gray saw Qin Tiannan patting the men in blue and green on the shoulder with a smile, he would probably be dumbfounded.

……

The number of participants in this recruitment ceremony is unprecedented... If we really have to compare, it would be the first recruitment ceremony after the mortal realm ended its struggle against the demonic realm.

Therefore, this enrollment ceremony lasted for a full seven days before it finally came to an end.

Despite the large number of applicants, only a few hundred passed the academy's assessment despite the increased admission standards.

Soon, the elders of each hall had also completed the selection of their disciples.

What follows is the main event that everyone is eagerly anticipating.

A crowd had already gathered at the preaching site.

Qin Tiannan and the other elders were making arrangements for the important figures who had arrived from various forces.

Among them, top forces from high-dimensional realms such as Qingxiao Academy, Haotian Divine Sect, and Tianjian Peak also came here.

"Quite a few familiar faces have come," said the God Lord Haotian with a smile.

Huo Zhengheng, the peak master of Tianjian Peak, also chimed in with a smile, "A great battle has just ended, but it's like nothing happened here."

One of the elders of Qingxiao Academy laughed loudly, "After all, the battlefield is not in our mortal realm."

"By the way, when will Senior Lu arrive?"

All the leaders of the major powers looked at Qin Tiannan.

Qin Tiannan smiled and said, "Soon."

Not only them, but the trainees below were also staring longingly at the high platform at the front.

At the very back, the man in the blue robe looked around and laughed, "Master is really popular."

The man in white shrugged: "The higher the popularity, the more annoyed Master will probably be."

"There's no other way. Only Dean Qin can control Master to do something like this." The woman in the red dress covered her mouth and smiled.

"Huh? You guys actually made it here?"

The man in the blue robe and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man in gray walking over with a surprised expression: "Only outstanding students or the top ten freshmen can participate in this lecture. Are you perhaps the top ten freshmen?"

That doesn't make sense either, there are eleven of you!

The man in gray thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh! I see, you also went through the back door... But who did you find? Lü Yi? Zhou Qihang? Or Yu Hao?"

The man in the blue robe smiled and said, "None of them, but thank you for giving me these names."

"Ok?"

The man in white patted the man in gray on the shoulder and said, "Okay, consider this making amends. I'll punish you lightly later."

"Are you... sick?"

The man in gray rolled his eyes. "Alright, you guys stay here and watch. I'm going to the front."

After an incense stick has burned.

On the high platform, a figure silently came into everyone's view.

At first, everyone was taken aback.

Then a gasp erupted!
"It's Senior Lu!"

Meanwhile, the leaders of the major sects above all bowed and clasped their hands in greeting to Lu Changsheng.

The figure on stage covered one ear with one hand and pressed down with the other, and the entire audience instantly fell silent.

"To be honest, I don't know why the dean asked me to preach to you." Lu Changsheng said helplessly, "I don't know what to say to you either. In the end, I don't even understand what the Dao is myself."

Everyone was taken aback.

Even someone as powerful as him couldn't figure out what the Dao is?
"I can't really explain this kind of vague and ethereal thing, so you have to figure it out for yourselves."

Beside Qin Tiannan, Du Zhong rolled his eyes, "You still dare to let him preach like this?"

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than...

A rustling sound came from below.

"I understand!"

"What Senior Lu means is that everyone's path is different, and everyone needs to comprehend their own path, rather than relying on others!"

Du Zhong was dumbfounded.

Qin Tiannan looked at Du Zhong and smiled, "Look, isn't this kid speaking very well?"

The Confucian elder standing to the side smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "The Way is under your feet; you have to walk it yourself to understand it. That's the truth."

Du Zhong: "..."

Were you victims of PUA?
Looking down, some people have even sat cross-legged and begun to try to comprehend the meaning.

Du Zhong's eyes twitched.

If these people aren't actors, then they must be incredibly talented and perceptive. What kind of insights could they possibly gain from this?
Lu Changsheng was somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

You could say you've gotten used to it.

After all, this has happened before.

They're all masters of overthinking!
At this time.

Lu Changsheng looked towards the back of the crowd, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The man in the blue robe and the others sensed the gaze and immediately felt something was wrong. Just as they were about to sneak away, they heard Lu Changsheng say, "Actually, I've studied quite a variety of things. Why don't I have my disciples teach you all?"

After speaking.

Everyone was stunned.

Senior Lu's disciple?

That's great!
Those are all figures who stand at the pinnacle of their respective fields!
For a moment, everyone looked left and right, trying to find out where Senior Lu's disciples were.

The gray-clad man standing at the front exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Ye is here too?! I'm a sword cultivator!"

However, he was dumbfounded when he saw the eleven people go on stage one after another.

My first thought was, what are they going up there for?

And then, are they Senior Lu's disciples?

But it doesn't match Senior Ye's face!
The gray-clad man was completely dumbfounded when Ye Qiubai and the others removed their disguises.

Immediately afterwards, her face turned bright red.

I want to die...

Those around watched as the man in gray crouched on the ground, his hands covering his head, and then cried out in suppressed voices, "What was I doing back then?!?!" (End of Chapter)
