Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 258 The Myriad Paths Academy is established!

In the vast and boundless primordial universe, only a handful of nine powers could be considered the pinnacle of power.

Human beings are one of them.

The entire territory of the human race is so vast that there are 1008 interstellar kingdoms, which are organized into 'sectors' alone!
If measured in terms of ordinary 'star regions' or 'galaxies', the number would be in the hundreds of millions!
The vast and boundless territory of humanity is home to countless races, inhabited planets, and a complex web of large and small factions.

There are rudimentary civilizations spanning multiple star systems, intermediate civilization empires controlling an entire star field, and cosmic nations whose influence extends throughout a vast star region.

Even above the Cosmic Kingdom, there are five super-giant powers—

Virtual Universe Corporation, Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic Galaxy Bank, Cosmic First Bank, and Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. These five major forces have infiltrated every cosmic nation, influencing every aspect of the human race, and holding a near-absolute monopoly in their respective fields!
The Giant Axe Arena is the fairest arena, possessing unparalleled martial prowess.

The Virtual Universe Company, with its magical virtual universe, almost controls the economic lifeline of the entire human race.

Although the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is a loosely organized group, nearly 99% of the martial artists and mentalists in the human territory join it. Even if only a small portion of them become the true core members of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, that is still a very large number.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the First Cosmic Bank primarily provide storage and financial services, catering to the wealthy. Even immortal beings typically deposit their money and treasures in these two banks.

The five major powers have existed for a long time and have almost controlled the operation of the entire human race.

Even geniuses born within the human realm are prioritized for recruitment and plunder by these five major powers.

However, on this day, an incredibly shocking piece of news spread instantly throughout every corner of the human race's 1008 universe kingdom via the virtual universe network—

Founded by one of the greatest beings in humankind, 'Master of Miracles', it has received support from all five major powers, and the entire 1008 Universe Kingdom has officially responded.
On this day, the sixth major power among humankind—the Myriad Paths Academy—was officially established!

Almost simultaneously, on every city on every continent of every universe in the virtual universe, and on every island corresponding to every intermediate civilization, a brand new plane called 'Myriad Paths Academy' was created!
The Myriad Paths Academy encompasses all paths and methods!
Anyone who is human can enter the Myriad Paths Academy to 'study'!
Even an ordinary apprentice-level human can obtain a complete set of basic cultivation inheritance corresponding to their own realm upon entering the Myriad Paths Academy.

Once you reach the limit of your current cultivation level, you can obtain the next stage of basic inheritance for free by going to the Myriad Paths Academy for recertification.

From the apprentice level to the highest realm of cultivation, as long as you keep breaking through, you can continue to receive free inheritance from the Myriad Paths Academy!
Of course, this free inheritance is a relatively basic and accessible one, simply to provide ordinary cultivators with a channel to obtain cultivation inheritance.

Within the Myriad Paths Academy, there are naturally even more profound and mysterious lineages.

However, to obtain this further inheritance, it is no longer free, but requires completing the tasks or tests of the Myriad Paths Academy.

Either one must possess exceptional talent to attract the attention of the academy's higher-ups, or one must complete the academy's tasks and assessments to obtain sufficient 'credits' to exchange for the necessary inheritance.

Those who perform exceptionally well may even have the opportunity to 'study' at the headquarters of the Myriad Paths Academy.

There, you can not only obtain more exquisite and profound ultimate inheritance, but also have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the great Master of the Wonderful Pavilion!
What is most shocking is that the 'students' of the Myriad Paths Academy can join any human faction at will without any restrictions.

The entire Wandao Academy seems to be solely dedicated to cultivating talent for the various human powers!

Therefore, the Myriad Paths Academy has no conflict with the other five existing human superpowers or any other forces, and naturally will not be resisted by any other forces.

A magnificent force, incredibly vast and powerful enough to rival the five behemoth powers, yet also incredibly mysterious and unique, seemingly uninvolved in any power struggles, was thus successfully established!

The moment the Myriad Paths Academy plane opened, an immense number of cultivators immediately flooded into it.

There are low-level cultivators at the apprentice level, as well as powerful individuals at the immortal or even cosmic venerable level.

Basically, all cultivators were attracted by the Wan Dao Academy's domineering propaganda that it encompassed all paths and laws.

The universe is vast, and there are countless schools of cultivation.

Even super powers like Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena wouldn't dare claim to have truly compiled all the inheritances of various schools.

The fact that the Myriad Paths Academy would raise such a banner is bound to be shocking and intriguing.

A large number of cultivators flocked in, some for the basic inheritance that could be obtained for free, and others to witness the vast knowledge of the so-called 'Ten Thousand Paths and Ten Thousand Methods'!

Countless cultivators, upon entering this plane, immediately received the first rule for studying at the Myriad Paths Academy—

Everything needed for the inheritance of Wandao Academy is selflessly provided by Master Qiyuan, and all students must treat him with the respect due to a teacher.

"All the resources needed for the inheritance are borne by Master Qiyuan alone? Such dedication truly makes Master Qiyuan worthy of being called 'teacher' by all seekers of the Dao!"

"The great Master of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion has made the basic inheritances of each realm publicly available free of charge, opening up a path for countless ordinary cultivators to embark on the path of cultivation and pursue the highest level of cultivation. The Master of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion can definitely be called the common teacher of countless ordinary cultivators of the entire human race. I call him teacher willingly!"

"Haha, to be able to form a 'master-disciple bond' with such a great being as the Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion is a blessing that all of us seekers of the Dao would much rather have."

All the 'students,' even some cosmic venerables who entered out of curiosity, did not object to this rule in the slightest.

Firstly, since they offer a wealth of knowledge and skills for free, it is perfectly appropriate to call them teachers.

Secondly, as one of the most powerful and dominant beings in the human race, having such a connection with such a great being is something that countless cultivators yearn for!

In an instant, students from countless other academic planes flocked to this plane, constantly calling out "Teacher!"

When these students officially entered the Inheritance Hall of the Myriad Paths Academy, they were instantly captivated by the vast amount of exquisite inheritances contained there!
The sheer volume and profound depth of these inheritances—even the most basic ones that can be obtained for free—far surpass the cultivation methods passed down by ordinary realm lord families or immortal clans. And the even more precious core inheritances, even with just a brief introduction, are enough to awe all who inherit them; they are truly ultimate secret manuals they have never encountered before!

Moreover, the sheer number and breadth of these lineages directly encompass any imaginable school or style. As long as there is a need, one can always find a lineage that suits their own style!
"Too, too powerful! The laws of 'Water and Fire Enlightenment,' 'Space Thunder Prison,' and 'Wind and Thunder Technique' can actually be cultivated like this!"

"This is beyond comprehension, a truly revolutionary inheritance! Where did the Master of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion obtain such an inheritance from?!"

"This massive amount of core inheritance, each one far surpasses the ultimate secret manual I'm currently cultivating, 'Black Hole Evolution,' my god, it's too, too outrageous!"

The students were all utterly astonished by the immense and profound amount of knowledge and knowledge stored up in the Myriad Paths Academy!
Just like ultimate secrets such as "Black Hole Evolution," the number of such works existing in the entire human race is extremely limited.

However, within this Myriad Paths Academy, there are countless inheritances, each one far surpassing the so-called "ultimate secret manual" in terms of their exquisiteness.

The concept of hundreds of millions of profound inheritances that are even more powerful than the human race's 'ultimate secret manual' is simply astonishing!

However, such an exaggerated thing actually happened in front of countless cultivators!
"My God, this is a powerful inheritance that leads directly to the ultimate level! Our Gu'os family doesn't even have the chance to see such an inheritance normally, let alone learn it!"

"A cultivation aid manual even more powerful than 'Time and Space Notes'! Heavens! Judging from the description, if I could obtain it, my cultivation speed could increase by more than tenfold!"

"Powerful, how, and how to obtain it?"

"Special Fate Points? You can obtain 'Special Fate Points' by passing various special assessments or completing specific tasks at the Myriad Paths Academy. These points can then be used to exchange for advanced inheritances?"

"Or perhaps their performance is so outstanding that it attracts the attention of the higher-ups at the Myriad Paths Academy, giving them a chance to directly receive a legacy?"

"What kind of tests are there? Melee, ranged, soul-related, and even treasure-refining tests? As long as you perform well, you can get rewards?"

"What kinds of tasks are there? Collecting samples of substances or organisms not on the list, each rewarding 100 Fate Points? Refining World Lord-level Plant Life 'Growth Potion,' every 10 servings rewarding 1 Fate Point? Collecting all kinds of rare and precious materials and exotic plants. So many, so many more tasks."

"Those who perform exceptionally well will have the opportunity to be selected to study at the 'Mysterious Realm of Extraordinary Fate' at the headquarters of the Myriad Paths Academy? Even more profound inheritances, massive resources, and the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the Master of the Mysterious Realm. Heavens!"

As they gained a deeper understanding of the rules of the Myriad Paths Academy, all the students who entered went crazy!
Incredibly tempting are the various powerful inheritances, including the opportunity to hear a great being like the Master of the Mysterious Affinity Pavilion personally preach, and some special rewards.
Even some cosmic venerables could not remain calm in the face of such inheritance and opportunity rewards!
Everyone sprang into action.

"Tests, pass through all the tests!"

"My identity as a pharmacist is finally going to have a chance to come in handy. I'll complete the academy's tasks and accumulate some good fortune points."

"Great Lord of the Wonderful World, thank you for your grace, allowing us to obtain planetary-level inheritance free of charge. The continuation of my Kuro clan is now within reach!"

Absolutely insane!
In the vast secret realm that has just been named 'Mysterious Realm of Wonder'.

The most central thirty-three heavens are distributed in a pyramid shape.

At the very top of the continent, a magnificent, silver-white tower, ten light-years high, stands majestically.

The entire tower is covered with endless intricate carvings, exuding an ancient and profound aura. It is none other than the Eternal True God-level treasure, the 'Wonder Tower'!
By using the pretext of obtaining the Ten Directions Sect's inheritance, Qi Yuan's powerful treasures gained a perfect explanation for their origin.

The Qiyuan Tower contains 100,000 spaces and has a powerful effect on enlightenment. Naturally, Qi Yuan released it directly and made it the most core inheritance site of the Wandao Academy headquarters.

At the very top of the Qiyuan Tower, in a vast space, majestic palaces rise and fall in a continuous line.

Inside the most central and magnificent golden palace.

Qi Yuan sat high on a huge divine throne, and in front of him stood a series of figures.

At this moment, an elderly man dressed in simple clothes, with gray hair and exuding an aura of tranquility, flew swiftly from outside the palace.

"Teacher, Lei Yuanxing and all his people have been settled according to the location you set." The old man was none other than Qi Yuan's eldest disciple, Cang Fan, who had now broken through to the Universe Venerable realm.

"it is good."

Qi Yuan nodded, but then looked down at the group of figures standing below.

Among these figures are Cang Fan, Liao Li, Yuan Mu, Mireya, and other early disciples, as well as Lu Ming, Vittorio, and other young disciples recruited through the Genius Battle.
These disciples, such as Cang Fan, Long Ji, and Lu Ming, have already broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, while the others have at least reached the Marquis level.

However, there were several other figures standing respectfully besides these disciples.

“Celestial Eclipse, Ancestral Tree, Star Prison, Lan Hong, Guiyi, Immortal, Tai Qing,” Qi Yuan began softly.

"teacher."

Each person whose name was called responded respectfully.

“You are the group of humans who are closest to breaking through. In recent days, I have bestowed upon each of you the cultivation methods that are suitable for you. You need to study them carefully.”

Qi Yuan's voice echoed, "One year from now, I will give a sermon to you and all your disciples. I hope that by then, you will all be able to make a breakthrough."

"is teacher!"
