The Great Seminary

Chapter 429 Rising Star
The sun was already high in the sky, and other guests had already appeared on the Star-Picking Platform.

Ping Tianjun's unrestrained and arrogant voice had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the people around him.

However, everyone could sense that he had a powerful background, so even in situations where there was open or covert competition, no one dared to make a scene.

Zhang Gui's polite and modest manner then calmed their displeasure.

Su Hui, who had been silently following behind Ping Tianjun and Zhang Gui, seemed to finally remember that he still had a mouth, and spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Please forgive me, Lord Pingtian, it is already noon. I and Lord Caiyang should take our seats first on behalf of Lord Zhenyao."

“That’s right,” Zhang Gui nodded vigorously. “The important matters that your mother, the Weaver Girl, is handling are far more important than our idle chatter.”

"In that case, let's call it a day." Upon hearing this, Ping Tianjun's face showed regret, but he couldn't refuse. "I'll come to see you again when I have time in the future."

Without waiting for a reply, he soared into the air, his sleeves fluttering as he rose straight up into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

"I never expected that there would be such a 'passionate' person in the Kunlun Supreme's stomach."

Zhang Gui looked up at the sky, a strange expression on his face.

"Lord Su, have you ever heard of this Lord Pingtian before?"

“Never,” Su Hui coughed lightly and shook his head.

"This Pingtianjun should be a rising star in the family of the Queen Mother of the West."

Yes, the title 'Pingtian' originates from the ancient Bull Demon.

The name of the Weaver Girl's eldest daughter, the "Head of the Eastern Palace," is Niulang, so perhaps there's some connection between them.

“According to the ancient terminology, the ‘Eastern Palace Head’ of a female ruler is the ‘Eastern Palace Queen’ of a male ruler,” Zhang Gui was taken aback, “but the Weaver Girl, the eldest female ruler, is over a thousand years old.”

His "Heir Apparent" is probably around the same age, so it's unlikely they'll be able to "harmonize" and produce a promising successor.

“Ceyang, with the completeness of the divine clusters you have now discovered and the true form of the ancestral gods you have evolved, you should be able to live for more than a thousand or eight hundred years.”

Su Hui laughed and said, "The Great Queen of Kunlun is the biological daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. Although the Queen Mother of the West does not ascend to heaven, she cannot obtain the divine power and true form of the Queen Mother of the West."

However, their lifespan is bound to defy the heavens, easily exceeding ten thousand years.

His position as the "Head of the Eastern Palace" is almost mythical, so it's not surprising that he lived a long life.
Let alone now, even a thousand years from now, what's so impossible about these two having a 'rising star'?

"Alright, alright, enough chit-chat, let's take our seats."

As he spoke, he strode over to the seat where 'Qi Zhenyao' was.

With a flick of his white jade plaque, a gauze curtain immediately descended from the sky.

The area was covered with sandalwood low tables, about ten square meters in total, arranged in two rows, and dozens of fragrant cushions.

After blocking the view of others, Su Hui plopped down on a large, round prayer mat and began directing his entourage.
"You all stay outside the gauze tent for now. If Kunlun's servants come to offer fruit and vegetables, help them out as well."

In the last ten thousand years or so, only two supreme beings, one yang and one yin, have appeared in the human race.

Our relationship with Xia Que is different from that of Kunlun…

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the accompanying attendant withdrew again.

Only Zhang Gui chuckled a few times and sat down on the ground next to Su Hui.
"The more they talk about 'private meetings,' the more they have to pay attention to their background and status. It's really interesting."

“Ceyang, you’re overthinking it.” Su Hui looked at Zhang Gui and shook his head, 'enlightening' him.

The charm of the guests at this "Star Gathering" is mainly judged by their abilities and achievements.

What I did was merely icing on the cake.

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever makes you happy." Zhang Gui shrugged and smiled dismissively.

Seeing his mocking expression, Su Hui's face hardened, and he coldly retorted:
"Don't try to change the subject and take the initiative."

I don't feel comfortable asking in public, but now you have to tell me properly.

What exactly is the true form of Dharma that Kunlun Pingtianjun spoke of?

In the Demon Arena, why use a dragon-slaying blade to kill a chicken? What's with the "steaming and grinding" earthworm dragon?

"What else could it be? Isn't 'Dharma form' just a kind of supernatural power of Buddhist bodhisattvas and Buddhas?"

However, I am not a Buddhist, so what I have mastered is the so-called "Dharma Form" of non-Buddhist sects.

Then yesterday, on a whim, I used this supernatural power to perform on stage, and only managed to kill two earth demons.

"That's easy for you to say, but what kind of status does that Lord Pingtian have...?"

As people age, they become wiser; as trees age, they become more intelligent. Moreover, Su Hui himself was exceptionally intelligent. After a few exchanges of words with Zhang Gui, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
"You, you, you've already crossed the great chasm and become a 'True Person Seed'?"...

Whether one follows the 'divine path' to discover the bloodline of the divine or the 'immortal path' to cultivate secret techniques, the ultimate goal is the same.

The more revered and powerful the ancestral gods and demons one inherits, and the more unparalleled the cultivation techniques and secret skills one possesses, the more difficult it becomes to achieve a great leap forward, or a leap in one's level of life.

Of course, once you get past that hurdle, the benefits will be enormous and unimaginable.

For example, the great Nagarjuna, the founder of the original monastic community, sacrificed his own life to give up countless lives of people in a city.

The ancient Nirvana ritual of resurrecting the 'Eternal Joy and Tranquility Buddha' was initiated. This act of offering flowers to the Buddha allowed Qi Zhenyao to be promoted to Class B Transcendent.

Later, because Qi Zhenyao achieved the "seed of a true person", he was able to evolve into a more complete true form of Yu the Great and walk out of the "limits of earth's laws and the extremes of Kun's transformation".

He quickly became one of the most outstanding young rulers of the entire Heavenly Court's Xia Que Qi Clan.

She also received an invitation to the Kunlun Great Queen Weaver Girl's "Star-Pointing Gathering," and her fame began to spread.

This shows that for the descendants of the spirits who have obtained the power of the great gods, trolls, supreme beings, sages, bloodlines, and true forms of those in history.

The leap from the fourth rank 'Upper C' to the third rank 'Upper B' is such a significant advancement...

Zhang Gui naturally understood this, so he just smiled and remained silent in response to Su Hui's question.

Seeing that he was feigning deafness and muteness, Su Hui pondered for a moment, then said softly in a slightly hoarse voice:

"If you have truly crossed this great chasm, then don't act rashly and recklessly in the future..."

"Why? You're not just trying to scare me, are you?"

"I'm not that disrespectful to my elders."

For someone like you, to dream of taking root, sprouting, and growing into a towering pillar of my human race without any 'seed' is just wishful thinking.

However, once you become a 'real seed', it's much easier to take the next step, or even several steps, to become a 'great auspicious master' than to cross the great chasm.

Therefore, we should lie low for now and wait until we become a first-grade transcendent being before considering anything else.

Su Hui explained earnestly.

At this moment, the layers of gauze curtains were lifted, and delicacies, rare fruits, and spiritual wines were brought in.

He and Zhang Gui silently fell silent, got up together, and walked out of the curtain.
