With his company, Anle gradually regained his faith in Taoism, and at the same time he was still thinking about ways to break the impasse every day.

However, the word "future" that Xuan Gongming said unintentionally awakened Anle from his dream and made him think of a possible way of survival.

This path to life may also be full of thorns and dangers, but it is indeed the most promising path at the moment.

With a direction and a goal, Anle was no longer confused. His heart of Tao was broken and then rebuilt. He became more resilient and steady than before. With the resonance of his mind and thoughts, his cultivation level broke through again and he became a cultivator of the Ten Divine Treasures.

Xuan Gongming and Chu Xi knew nothing about Anle's mental journey. They just looked at the two holy gates he opened and his ever-rising momentum, and couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

"What a strong aura!"

Chu Xi was shocked. She was also a monk of the Holy Gate now, but compared with the person in front of her, it seemed that they were not on the same level at all. The gap was extremely huge.

"Moreover, he actually broke through two divine treasures directly?"

In the current Great Zhou, there are endless geniuses among the cultivators, but Chu Xi has never heard of anyone who can break into two divine treasures in such a short time, not to mention that this is still at the Saint Gate Realm!

In her impression, the only person who had accomplished such a feat was the legendary figure who passed through the Great Zhou like a meteor.

Chu Xi seemed to be back at the Dragon Banquet in the Xuanwang Palace that day. The handsome young man made a breakthrough in public, shocking everyone. He was full of vigor and vitality, and everyone was looking at him with awe.

It was also from that day that Anle's name began to resound throughout the Great Zhou.

The two different faces seemed to overlap, leaving Chu Xi stunned.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

After a long time, Chu Xi came back to her senses and sighed in her heart: "It's a pity that he is not that person after all."

Is Xuan Gongming the only one who misses Anle?

"But where on earth did Gong Ming pick up such an extraordinary person? Such a person should not be an unknown person."

Chu Xi had some doubts in her heart, but she was sure that she had never seen this strange face before.

At this moment, Xuan Gongming's expression suddenly changed. After standing there for a moment, he looked at Anle in confusion and asked, "Who are you and why are you in my house?"

Anle frowned, but before he could say anything, he heard Xuan Gongming shouting.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

"Guards, get them out!"

Xuan Gongming's expression was serious, even angry and uneasy, as if he was really being assassinated.

The "they" he mentioned included Chuxi in addition to Anle.

It was obvious that Xuan Gongming had suddenly suffered from hysteria again. He didn't recognize any of his relatives, not even Chu Xi.

Soon, the maids came over after hearing the noise. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but look embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Xuan Gongming shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you drive them out?"

Hearing this, Chu Xi sighed softly, and said to An Le: "My fellow Taoist, let's go outside first."

After leaving the palace, Chu Xi turned around and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name, fellow Taoist?"

Three years ago, the monks in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not often address each other as “fellow Daoist”, but it was said that National Master Wuxu liked this title very much, so it gradually became popular.

Anle replied: "My name is Lu Bin, nice to meet His Highness Chu Xi."

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows. She had never heard of this name before: "Do you recognize me?"

Anle nodded and replied, "Of course I recognize it."

"His Highness Chu Xi has a great reputation. Even a mountain savage like me has heard of it."

Chu Xi smiled, then her face turned sad, and she said, "Gong Ming is having hysterics again, that's why he didn't recognize you, please forgive me, Brother Lu."

Anle asked, "Is it true as the rumors say, His Highness Gongming's hysteria has become more serious?"

"To be honest, I haven't noticed anything abnormal about him these days."

Chu Xi explained, "Gong Ming's hysteria is sometimes better and sometimes worse. There are no signs when it occurs. Sometimes it won't occur for a month. Sometimes he changes into several identities in one day. Sometimes he is a prince or noble, and sometimes he is an ordinary citizen. The scenes he sees are far from reality."

"I think he probably thought of you as another person whom I also respected. But now, he probably won't allow you to stay here any longer."

Anle was thoughtful. He realized that Xuan Gongming's hysteria was a little different from before, and there seemed to be some hidden secret.

Anle thought for a moment and said, "It's OK. I was planning to leave this place anyway. Please ask His Highness Chuxi to convey my gratitude to him for his care during these days."

Having said this, he bowed and was about to leave.

Chu Xi saw a bright light flashing in his eyes, with an unwavering determination, as if he would dare to face any difficulties no matter how big they were. He was completely different from his previous decadent appearance. This temperament made Chu Xi secretly amazed and reminded her of an old friend.

"Does Daoist Lu have a place to go now?"

Chu Xi said sincerely: "I am willing to recommend you to work in the Imperial Academy."

The strength of the Four Sacred Sects is considered top-notch in the entire Great Zhou, and coupled with the temperament displayed by Anle, Chu Xi was attracted to his talent.

Hearing this, Anle did not refuse and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Chuxi."

To complete his envisioned plan, the support of Tai College is indispensable.

******

Thus, a lecturer named Lu Bin appeared in Taixue Academy.

At first, not many people paid attention to the joining of this lecturer. The Great Zhou is now full of talented people, and a cultivator from the Four Sacred Sects is not enough to attract too much attention. Instead, it was the introduction of His Highness Chu Xi that was a little surprising.

But within a few days, this person had established close relationships with several well-known scholars, and under his leadership, a research project to improve the Zhenyang Stone was proposed.

——“Research project” is also one of the terms left by National Master Wuxu and widely used in Taixue Academy.

This proposal is undoubtedly like a stone that stirs up a thousand ripples, causing huge waves.

Today, the Zhenyang Stone is no longer as unknown as it was when it was first created. It has become a national treasure of the Great Zhou, bringing benefits to all people.

Not to mention, the Zhenyang Stone is the legacy left to the Great Zhou by National Master Wuxu, and its status is extremely high.

Although many people have tried to study this thing, most of them could not find room for improvement and felt that it was already perfect and did not need to be changed. And now, an unknown monk who had just joined the Tai Academy dared to propose such a project. How could this not surprise people?

But after listening to Lecturer Lu Bin’s public lectures, the students were all impressed by his understanding of Zhenyang Stone and his attainments in Taoism.

The ingenious idea he mentioned seemed to have the potential to be realized.

Then, a group of outstanding scholars joined the project to promote the research progress.

On this day, in the Zhenyang Stone Research Institute, Anle was telling several scholars about his ideas.

"As we all know, the materials used to make the Central Zhen Stone are of the same origin, so they naturally have a close connection. The Zhou Tian Xing Luo Formation was created on this basis. Continuing with this idea, we may be able to build a large formation that covers the entire Great Zhou, and with the help of the Central Zhen Stone, we can achieve real-time communication between cities..."

Many scholars listened attentively, and suddenly one of them burst into tears and whispered.

"If Daoist Fellow Wuxu were still alive, he would surely propose this idea, right?"

Anle turned around and saw that the woman was Jiu Qing'er, who had attended the Dragon Banquet in Xuanwang Palace with him and was also one of the first to comprehend the sixteen chapters of the Zhoutian algorithm.

Jiu Qing Er wiped away her tears and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. I lost my composure."

The other scholars did not care, but sighed: "I see that Master Lu today has the same demeanor as Master Wuxu back then, which is why they are willing to study this project together."

Someone else said: "It is also the last wish of Master Wuxu to promote the Zhenyang Stone!"

'I'm not dead yet!'

Anle felt strange in his heart, but he didn't dare show it on his face.

He really wanted to make his identity public, but he knew that now was not the right time and he could only be patient for the time being.

I have to say that Anle felt much more relaxed during these days at Tai Academy.

He saw that Tai Academy was more vibrant than it was three years ago, and saw many students and lecturers who were working hard for the people. Even some of their wonderful ideas and magical powers brought great inspiration and inspiration to Anle.

Even though the students did not know Anle, their respect for knowledge and technology still made them show sincere respect to Anle.

Only with such a rich learning atmosphere can we cultivate outstanding students, and they are the future of Da Zhou!

However, just as Anle had noticed before, a group of outstanding students, including Tianrenshan, disappeared at some point and no one knew where they had gone.

Having said that, the scholars who were able to participate in this project were all carefully selected by Anle. In addition to their knowledge, they had also verified in their deductions that they had not been branded by the gods.

After all, it is impossible for the gods to control everyone in the Great Zhou. There are always some people who are out of the gods' sight.

These scholars can all be trusted.

But to be on the safe side, Anle did not reveal his identity to them, nor did he reveal his real plan.

On this thorny road, the slightest carelessness may lead to a complete loss.

After finishing today's seminar, a monk came from outside the institute and said, "Lecturer Lu, the First King wants to see you."

Anle was stunned and felt a little heavy in his heart.

During the deduction, he naturally sought help from the remaining four kings. As Anle expected, these people with the most noble status in the Great Zhou were either inspired by the gods or were under some kind of surveillance. Exposing his identity in front of them was tantamount to suicide.

Without hesitating for too long, Anle followed the monk to the palace where the First King was staying.

As he entered the hall, a tall and majestic giant was sitting not far away, looking at him with a smile.

It is the first king.

After three years, the Chu King looked older, with wrinkles silently creeping up his face and white hair growing on his temples, making him look somewhat like the former Yuan King.

Apart from aging, the aging of the mind is the biggest reason why the First King looks old.

When Anle saw the first king, he felt a pang in his heart.

The hero dies.

This giant who has guarded the Great Zhou for many years will also grow old, and time will wear away his passion and ambitions, and he will finally turn into a corpse.

"Yes, very similar..."

The First Prince looked at Anle and said with emotion: "It is said that the newcomer Lu Bin from the Imperial Academy is very similar to the Imperial Master Wuxu. After seeing him today, it is indeed true."

He turned his head, covered his face and wiped away a tear.

"I'm old now, and it's easy for me to think about the past, and I lost my composure for a moment."

Anle felt sad. He could have recognized this respectable elder and used his innate Qi to alleviate his aging, but now, they could only meet as strangers.

After calming down, the First King got down to business: "Friend Lu, I have read your research proposal. It is a good thing for young people to be motivated, but I still want to ask you about a few details..."

Chu Wang was originally a master of weapon refining. After three years, his skills would only become more advanced.

After the two discussed the research content, the First King was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Good, very good!"

"The funding and resources for this project will be approved as soon as possible, but you should not aim too high and keep your feet on the ground."

Anle nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, the First King said again: "Friend Lu Daoist, you and I are destined to be together, so I will give you a small gift."

He stretched out his hand, and a small Zhenyang stone appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Then, numerous textures rippled out like waves, with light and dark in order, mysterious and indescribable, in harmony with the great way. It seemed as if runes were flying and strange visions were appearing. These textures and runes were engraved on the Zhenyang Stone, as if they were being meticulously carved.

This skill is enough to show the ability of the first king in refining weapons.

After a while, the carving was completed.

From the outside, the Zhenyang Stone seemed no different, but in Anle's perception, its aura was completely different, and even Anle felt a slight sense of danger.

The First King seemed tired and said, "I am a little tired, you can leave first."

So Anle said goodbye.

After leaving the palace, Anle quickly returned to his residence and enveloped the room with the innate Qi to isolate it from outside detection.

He had a bold guess in his mind.

Anle took out the Zhenyang Stone and put it together with Yangyang, who had almost lost his vitality. As the two Zhenyang Stones merged, words appeared before his eyes like a light curtain.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxu, you are still alive!"

Anle was shocked. He didn't expect that the First King actually recognized him and communicated with him in such a secret way.

If Anle had not had a profound understanding of the Zhenyang Stone, he would not have been able to see what King Chu had done.

The words before my eyes continued to appear.

"Unfortunately, the Great Zhou has been controlled by the gods."

"Run away! Fellow Daoist Wuxu!"

"Escape to the territory outside the Great Wilderness and leave the seeds of the Great Zhou. Tianren Mountain will be waiting for you there!"
