My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

"Cangwu Jiang Family, Jiang Beixuan?!"

After a brief silence, the whole scene exploded!

"But is it Jiang Beixuan who, in the inheritance secret realm, borrowed the secret realm rules and killed the Saint King Li Luan?"

"What? It's him?"

"Not only Li Luan, but also the ancestor of the Wang family died at the hands of Senior Ji because of this man!"

For a moment, countless monks opened their eyes wide, their eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.

But then, their eyes gradually changed, from shock, to fanaticism, and then to greed.

That’s Jiang Beixuan!

It’s not just because he once killed the Saint King in the secret realm, but also because that secret realm was originally left by an ancient emperor!

"That secret realm was suspected to have been left behind by a great ancient emperor. It offered countless opportunities, and Jiang Beixuan was the biggest beneficiary..."

"It is said that he obtained an imperial weapon!"

"Imperial soldiers!?" Someone suddenly took a breath of cold air, and his eyes instantly became extremely hot.

"If it's true... then it's an imperial weapon!"

Imperial soldiers!

These two words, like thunder, instantly ignited the greed in the hearts of the monks.

You know, that’s the emperor’s weapon!

It is a supreme divine weapon that surpasses holy weapons and quasi-imperial weapons, and only the emperor has the ability to refine it!

Even if it is just a broken imperial weapon, it is enough to make countless forces fight for it crazily!

What's more, Jiang Beixuan is suspected to have obtained a complete imperial weapon!

At this moment, everyone looked at Jiang Beixuan with eyes full of covetousness.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this place was not Wanquan City and Zhuge Zi was not present, they would have been unable to resist taking action, capturing Jiang Beixuan alive and forcing them to tell the whereabouts of the imperial soldiers!

At this time, even Zhuge Zi's eyes became subtle.

"You're clearly suspected of possessing an imperial weapon, yet you're still trying to fight for my inheritance?"

Is this greed, or just plain boredom?

"interesting."

Zhuge Zi chuckled and said nothing more.

At the same time, a look of enlightenment gradually appeared on Liu Qingye's face.

As the dean of Baisheng Academy, he has been in seclusion for many years and knows very little about the outside world.

But at this moment, after listening to the discussions around him, he finally understood how extraordinary the young man in front of him was.

But although he was surprised, he did not feel the slightest greed for the "imperial weapon".

After all, compared to external things, he cares more about inner strength.

Then, he faced Jiang Beixuan, bowed slightly, and said something earth-shattering:

"Fellow Daoist, your state of mind is so high. Would you like to join my Hundred Saints Academy?"

In his opinion, the other party was qualified to enter Baisheng Academy!

As for how the outside world views him, he doesn't care at all!

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence!

Everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

However, Liu Qingye's next words were like thunder, exploding directly in everyone's hearts!

"If you agree to join the academy, as long as you break through to the Saint Realm in the future, I will take charge and hand over the position of the dean to you..."

--boom!

There was a buzzing sound in everyone's mind, as if they had instantly lost the ability to think!

They couldn't believe what they were hearing!

Liu Qingye! The dignified Master of Literature! The dean of Baisheng Academy! He's actually willing to give up his position?!

And the one who gave way was actually——

The only public enemy in the entire Central Region is Jiang Beixuan, who is at the Heavenly Man Realm?!

At this moment, almost all the monks showed expressions of horror that could not be concealed.

"Liu Wenzong, are you kidding me?!"

"Hundred Saints Academy... actually wants to accept Jiang Beixuan as a disciple?!"

"Not only that, he even directly promised me the position of Dean?!"

The whole square suddenly exploded.

At this time, a saint in a black robe had a grim expression on his face. "This man is the public enemy of the Central Region. If the Hundred Saints Academy accepts him, will it become an enemy of the entire Central Region?"

"That's right!" another cultivator echoed, his eyes sharp. "Liu Wenzong, please be cautious! Don't bring disaster to Hundred Saints Academy!"

"Yes! Baisheng Academy has always been proud of its integrity. If they accept Jiang Beixuan as a disciple, they will not only bring trouble to themselves, but will also ruin the reputation of the academy!"

"What's more, the Hundred Saints Academy has declined to this point. Do we still dare to provoke this evil?" Another saint echoed, his tone not without sarcasm. "Thinking back to the glory of the Hundred Saints Academy, now it has given up even the most basic principles?"

"Ridiculous! Absurd!" Some people were even more angry, their faces turned pale, as if they felt that his action was too crazy and was simply making a joke of the future of Baisheng Academy!

But in the face of these discussions, Liu Qingye remained unmoved, and even his expression did not change.

After a moment's silence, he finally raised his head, glanced at the monks who were reacting violently, and spoke some very calm words.

"My Hundred Saints Academy is recruiting students. What does that have to do with you?"

"If you are dissatisfied, please go and talk to my master."

This sentence was like a bombshell, stunning everyone present.

"Liu Wenzong's master? Who is that?"

"I don't know about this, but Liu Wenzong is at the ninth level of the Saint Realm. I imagine his master must also be a Saint King, right?"

"But how could Liu Wenzong be so confident just because of the words of a Saint King?"

Just as everyone was discussing and beginning to wildly speculate about the identity of Master Liu Qingye.

The expressions of the saints who knew the secret of that year changed drastically.

"What? That old monster is still alive?"

"This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case! Even when Baisheng Academy was in such danger, he never took action. How could he be alive now?"

They looked shocked, with a hint of fear deep in their pupils.

It’s because the other party’s master is named - Master Ziqian!

As the previous president of Baisheng Academy, Saint Wang Jiuzhong is one of the strongest people comparable to the ancestor of the Wang family!

Ten thousand years ago, Lord Ziqian single-handedly established the dominant position of Baisheng Academy in the Central Region.

His knowledge covers the universe, and his cultivation is close to that of a great sage. He has been praised as "the world's number one Confucian scholar after the literary sage", "the person with the greatest hope of becoming a literary sage in this era", and so on!

But due to a major accident, he completely disappeared from the world, and no one knows what he went through.

At that time, Baisheng Academy also quickly declined after his disappearance.

Even if it was once extremely glorious, it is ultimately unable to resist the ruthless invasion of time and the world.

Now, Liu Qingye's words have made this almost forgotten name resound throughout the world again.

"impossible!"

"If it really is Lord Ziqian, then this is incredible."

"Haha, do you think it's possible? Master Ziqian has been missing for ten thousand years. We have witnessed the changes in Baisheng Academy with our own eyes. How could he suddenly come back to life?"

"Who knows? The disappearance of Lord Ziqian back then shocked the entire Central Region. Even hearing his name again now makes me feel a little dazed."

"Wait, if Lord Ziqian is really not dead, then... wouldn't Baisheng Academy be able to return to its peak?"

"Ten thousand years ago, he was already a ninth-level Saint King. Now, after ten thousand years, his cultivation must have reached a higher level. He alone is enough to shake the entire Central Region!"

"Yes, if Master Ziqian is in charge of Baisheng Academy, it will be as stable as Mount Tai. Who would dare to challenge it so easily?"

Gradually, the angry shouting in the field began to subside.

The eyes of many monks have changed from initial anger to deep fear.

After all, Baisheng Academy with the old dean in charge and Baisheng Academy without the old dean in charge are two completely different concepts!

Who dares to provoke the existence of Saint King Jiuchong?

If he could get the imperial weapon in Jiang Beixuan's hands, it would be even more incredible.

Maybe even Ji Mingkong, who is at the Great Sage level, can't withstand it.

When they thought of this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to be honest at this moment.

At this time, compared to the shock of these cultivators, Jiang Beixuan undoubtedly seemed much calmer.

After all, as a person who has come back again, he naturally knows that Lord Ziqian is still alive.

He even knew that it wouldn't take many years for the other party to advance to the realm of literary saint.

By then, Baisheng Academy will welcome two saints, and it will become the most glorious period in three million years!

Thoughts flashed through.

Jiang Beixuan looked at Liu Qingye and said casually, "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are...going to cause huge trouble for Baisheng Academy."

Liu Qingye smiled softly, "If you are willing to join the academy, what does the so-called trouble mean?"

Jiang Beixuan shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"However, the path I follow is unique and incompatible with the purpose of Hundred Saints Academy. I am not suitable for entry."

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked again!

He refused?

Without any hesitation, just rejected it directly?

You know, this is the position of the dean of Baisheng Academy!

It not only means respected status, but also represents the most top-notch literary and Taoist heritage in the Central Region. Especially when it is rumored that Lord Ziqian is still alive, Baisheng Academy may rise at any time!

How many people dream of this opportunity, but he actually... doesn't care?

For a moment, many cultivators looked at Jiang Beixuan with strange eyes, some were shocked, some were confused, and some even had a hint of awe.

"What kind of character does this person have?"

At this moment, although Liu Qingye was a little disappointed, he was not angry.

Even more attention is paid to the person in front of them.

"Even after knowing that Master Ziqian was in charge of Baisheng Academy, he still managed to resist the temptation of the position of dean and decisively refused."

"With such a state of mind, you are indeed someone I value."

Liu Qingye smiled.

Then he looked at Jiang Beixuan deeply.

"After we leave this place, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts were shocked again!

"what?!"

Even the saints present couldn't help but change their expressions at this moment!

Liu Qingye’s meaning couldn’t be clearer—he was willing to protect Jiang Beixuan!

You know, Jiang Beixuan is the public enemy of the entire Central Region!

Before, everyone could understand why Liu Qingye recruited Jiang Beixuan. After all, Jiang Beixuan had an amazing heart for Taoism, extraordinary strength, and might even be able to control the imperial weapon.

However, now Jiang Beixuan has rejected the invitation from Baisheng Academy, but Liu Qingye is actually... still willing to protect him?

If the previous words of accepting a disciple were just shocking, then Liu Qingye's initiative to show goodwill now was a truly crazy act!

It was so crazy that many people had an illusion in their hearts, as if Jiang Beixuan was the other party's biological son... No! Even if he was a biological son, I'm afraid he couldn't do it to this extent, right?

For a moment, many people looked at each other strangely, and some even couldn't help but shout angrily, "Liu Wenzong, you are not really willing to offend all forces for this public enemy of the Central Region, are you?"

However, Liu Qingye ignored these discussions.

From beginning to end, his eyes stayed on Jiang Beixuan.

After learning about the other party's situation, he understood that once the test in Wanquan City was over, those Saint Kings outside would never let Jiang Beixuan go.

Faced with a situation where there was almost no chance of survival, he did not want to see a fellow seeker of the truth perish.

Therefore, in order to make his thoughts clear, he is willing to take action.

Even if this will make Baisheng Academy the target of public criticism!

At this moment, as Liu Qingye's voice fell.

Jiang Beixuan's eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

He had never expected that even though the other party knew his dire situation, he would still be willing to help.

but......

"When that happens, I won't be polite."

If your thoughts are clear, you don't have to be bound by formalities.

Since Liu Qingye was willing to help, he was happy to save some effort. At worst, he could repay him in the future.

What's more, he also knew that the old dean of Baisheng Academy would not be so confident in letting Liu Qingye come alone to compete for the inheritance.

I think everything has been arranged in secret!

At this moment, a gratified smile flashed across Liu Qingye's eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "That's it."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to ascend the stairs again?"

He could clearly feel that the other party's breath was not disordered at all. Obviously, he still had some strength left!

When Jiang Beixuan heard Liu Qingye's question, he smiled and looked up.

His gaze fell on the 100th step, and he laughed heartily, "Since we're here, wouldn't it be a shame not to take this final reward?"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and continued to move forward under the gaze of everyone!

The ninety-first level!

boom--!

At this moment, the whole world seemed to tremble with his steps!

Countless monks opened their eyes wide, not even daring to breathe loudly, as if they were afraid of breaking the silence at the moment.

You know, Liu Qingye stopped at the 90th step, which was already an incredible achievement.

Everyone even thought that this was the limit of human ability.

Even if those Saint Kings came, they probably wouldn't be able to do better.

But now, Jiang Beixuan has broken this "limit"!

"This guy... can really keep going?"

"Hiss~ There's no way he can actually reach the top of the 100th step, right?!"

Everyone's heart was trembling wildly, and some people even subconsciously took a step back. Looking at the figure stepping forward, an incredible feeling arose in their hearts.

Ninety-two steps.

Ninety-three steps.

Ninety-fourth step.

Jiang Beixuan walked steadily and his expression was calm, as if he was just stepping onto an ordinary staircase.

But every step he took seemed to step on everyone's heart, making their hearts tremble involuntarily!
