Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 259 Preaching
The Wandao Academy was founded.

All the basic operations of the academy, such as the ranking of all 'students,' the distribution of basic inheritances, the assignment of tasks and assessments, are maintained by Su Ai, a disciple who is an intelligent life form.

Although its computing power is far inferior to that of the mechanical race's universe lord who is the core of the entire virtual universe, it is still extremely easy to complete all these tasks with the assistance of specially created subordinate intelligent life forms.

Only when it involves the distribution of truly profound levels of inheritance will it alarm Qi Yuan, the true master of the Myriad Paths Academy, to personally intervene.

The entire lineage of the Wandao Academy originates from two main components.

Inheritances below the Immortal level were all created casually by Qi Yuan. With his current realm and mastery of the laws, he could easily create hundreds of millions of such low-level inheritances with just a little time.

As for those at the Immortal level and above, the vast majority came from the Ten Directions Sect's inheritance that he had previously obtained, and some were created casually or returned by the system.

He divided all the traditions into several levels—

The first level, naturally, is a portion of the basic inheritance that can be obtained for free.

The depth of this level of inheritance is roughly equivalent to the level offered to core disciples by the major cosmic kingdoms' dojos, primarily targeting the vast majority of cultivators from ordinary backgrounds.

In the past, limited by their own wealth and access, they were unable to obtain a legacy that perfectly matched their own level, resulting in their final growth falling far short of the limit of their talents. There were even some hidden gems among them who were buried in obscurity.

Although the probability is low, the number of cultivators in this category is the largest. With such a large number, there is always some unexpected gain.

The second level is the advanced inheritance that requires passing assessments or completing tasks to obtain enough credits, also known as 'Special Affinity Points', in order to redeem it.

This level of inheritance is much more profound than the basic inheritance, and is roughly equivalent to the level of inheritance that the core members of the five major human forces can access.

This kind of inheritance is intended to select students who have certain talents (able to pass various tests) or who work hard enough (able to complete various tasks).

The third level is the precious inheritance that only those who are outstanding enough to obtain the qualification to study at the headquarters of the Myriad Paths Academy can have the opportunity to learn.

This level of inheritance corresponds to the ordinary inheritance level in the Ten Directions Sect's inheritance. Although it is an ordinary inheritance, it is much higher than the level of the series of ultimate secret manuals of the highest level of the human race.

The reason why it is required to study at the headquarters of the Myriad Paths Academy is naturally to subject them to the test of the 'True and Void Realm' and prevent alien spies from infiltrating.

Secondly, it also makes it convenient for Qiyuan to select suitable students for systematic donations and returns.

The fourth level is a core inheritance that can only be obtained by the most talented and trustworthy geniuses.

This part of the inheritance comes from the tens of thousands of top-level inheritances within the Ten Directions Sect.

This level of inheritance is absolutely a rare and truly top-tier inheritance, even among many ancient civilizations!

If placed in the cosmic ocean, it would be an existence that could drive countless forces to utter madness!

This part is also what Qi Yuan values ​​most, because if this part of the inheritance is returned by the system, it is very likely to be elevated to the true top level, which will be Qi Yuan's true reliance for future rise!
Of course, under the restrictions of the supreme rules, no matter what level he is at, what he can teach to others now is at most the part that does not exceed the limit of the strongest in the universe.

As for the higher levels, the restrictions can only be lifted after passing through the cycle of reincarnation.

The framework of Wandao Academy has been established. Intelligent life forms in the virtual universe maintain its daily operations. Although no branches have been established in reality yet, most of the operation of Wandao Academy is concentrated in the virtual universe and conducted online.

At most, some mission items and rewards need to be transported in the real world, which can be solved by temporarily using the transportation network of the virtual universe company.

And so the entire Wandao Academy began to operate officially.

Every day, the number of cultivators pouring into the Myriad Paths Academy is enormous.

Some entered the Inheritance Hall to receive secret techniques, some went to the Assessment Hall to undergo various trials, and some went to the Mission Hall to accept various missions.
It was incredibly lively. The entire Wandao Academy began to gradually integrate into the daily lives of all human cultivators, much like a behemoth like a virtual universe company or a galactic bank.

one year later.

A secluded and wondrous realm.

In the enlightenment space at the top of the Qiyuan Tower, on the thirty-third heaven.

Qi Yuan looked at the group of disciples sitting on the ground in front of him, and at the more than a dozen cosmic overlords who were the most promising to break through in the human race, including the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, the Ancestral Tree Venerable, and the Star Prison Demon Lord, who were all behaving respectfully.

"Today, I am opening this platform to preach the Dharma. All disciples and beings from the secret realms are welcome to listen, regardless of their background!"

Qi Yuan's voice echoed above everyone's heads, and then directly penetrated this enlightenment space, spreading throughout the entire secret realm space through the power of the True and False Realms.

"Open the altar and begin the sermon!" "Open the altar and begin the sermon!" "Open the altar and begin the sermon!"
"Education should be provided to all without discrimination!" "Education should be provided to all without discrimination!" "Education should be provided to all without discrimination!"
"Please listen attentively!"
The majestic sound echoed continuously, instantly spreading throughout the entire secret realm!
A secret world, a special starry sky.

In the third gravitational orbit of a star system, a beautiful planet whose surface is covered by oceans for more than 80% of its surface is naturally orbiting.

On this planet, birds sing and flowers bloom, and greenery abounds. The buildings are all integrated with nature, exuding a sense of unparalleled harmony.

In buildings, on roads, in sea cities, and even in the surrounding starry sky, the Lei Yuan Star people who were busy with their own tasks were all stunned.

Immediately, boundless joy appeared on the faces of all the Thunder Origin Star people.

"Ancestor, that's the Ancestor's voice!"

The older generation of the 'first generation' Lei Yuan Star Clan instantly recognized the voice.

"Our ancestor is about to begin his sermon!"

"Quickly, immediately inform all clansmen to put down any tasks they are currently engaged in and listen attentively to the ancestor's teachings!"

Some of the younger members of the tribe were even more shocked.

"Just how powerful has our ancestor become? He directly moved our ancestral star to such a mysterious starry sky, and the treasures he casually bestowed allowed us to easily break through to the level of World Lord or even Immortal. His voice traveled directly across countless light-years." "Strong, simply too strong!"

"Ancestor, how powerful you are!"

"Stop talking nonsense! The ancestor is actually preaching in person. This is a blessing for all the clansmen!"

"Quickly, quickly, everyone listen attentively, don't slack off!"

Every member of the Leiyuan clan, no matter where they were or what they were busy with, immediately stopped, found a quiet area to sit down cross-legged, and prepared to listen attentively to the sermon to come.

In another direction of the secret realm, there is an incredibly vast, icy river that stretches directly into the void.

Even the giant stars float and sink in the icy river.

The icy river water is extremely dense. Even an immortal powerhouse would feel astonishing resistance and bone-chilling cold when entering it, and their speed would be less than one percent of their usual speed.

However, in this icy river, a series of agile figures darted and frolicked.

The figures were all nearly humanoid, with the larger ones reaching nearly three meters in height and the smaller ones only about one meter. All of their bodies were transparent, almost like flowing water.

However, their upper bodies were covered with an extremely thin layer of crystal armor, and they all had ice crystal crowns on their heads, making them look incredibly holy and noble.

These figures are none other than the 'Wa Water Spirit,' one of the special creatures born in the secret realm.

"The Way speaks of the Way"

"Listen."

A hazy, undulating thought flickered within.

One by one, the water spirits of Nuwa floated to the surface of the icy river, their focused gazes directed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Another place.

In the illusory ocean where endless mysterious mist floats.

A huge dark shadow rose rapidly from the seabed.

"Wow~~~"

A black ancient whale, over a million kilometers long and with thick barbels on its cheeks, bursts out of the sea.

"A familiar aura, the aura of the creator god!"

"Listen, listen to the sermon of the Creator God, and I will become stronger."

In the endless abyss of darkness.

Some are engulfed in flames, some are surrounded by azure currents, some are as hard as rock, and some are wrapped in green vines.
The little devils kept jumping and cheering.

"Ancestral God!"

"Ancestral God!"

"Hehe, preaching, listening to the sermon."

A world of flames that are always burning.

Endless flames, scorching everything.

However, there were ape figures made entirely of crimson flames nimbly leaping and playing.

"Education should be provided to all without discrimination."

"Listen to the sermon."

"Caw caw, listen, listen!"

The various special life forms in the secret realm, except for the Thunder Source Clan which was later moved in, were all born naturally during the evolution of the secret realm and are truly 'innate beings'.

The wondrous power of the universe's origin gave birth to them and even endowed them with innate advantages that surpass those of ordinary life.

But these lives are in their early stages of life, and apart from instinctively using their own power, they do not yet know what cultivation is.

As that deafeningly loud voice echoed from afar, all the creatures of the secret realm were drawn in and listened intently.

"The birth and death of all things follow the laws."

Qi Yuan's voice resounded throughout the enlightenment space of the Qiyuan Tower and the entire secret realm world.

It is not merely language, but contains a certain spiritual will within it, enabling all living beings to easily understand its meaning.

"The laws are like a net, and all living beings are like fish."

"At the beginning of cultivation, one should follow the laws, go with the flow, and proceed step by step. Then one should make use of the laws and take advantage of the situation."

"The highest level of cultivation is to 'imprint the mind of heaven with my own' and take control of the origin."

"The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are merely appearances, and the interactions of yin and yang are not the ultimate truth. The true 'Tao' lies in 'creating something from nothing and transforming something into nothingness.'"

As Qi Yuan's voice echoed, an invisible force silently spread outwards.
