The rise of a family, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Tree

After bidding a reluctant farewell to his kind and amiable grandmother Zhang Yunyu and other relatives, Uncle He Beichen, along with his niece He Yuanhuan, embarked on their journey to Zhulu Academy, filled with anticipation and longing.

They first arrived at the magnificent inter-state teleportation array in Yuncheng, the capital of Yunzhou. With a flash of dazzling light, the two felt a slight tremor in their bodies, and the scene before them instantly changed. The next moment, they were already on the land of Lizhou.

Upon entering Tianqi City, the capital of Lizhou, a lively atmosphere immediately enveloped them. The streets were bustling with traffic and people, but the most eye-catching group was the students of Zhulu Academy, dressed in uniform.

These young talents either walked in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing, or walked alone in a hurry, as if they were rushing to complete some important task.

Speaking of the Zhulu Academy, it is renowned far and wide! Its branch in the Zhao Kingdom is located in Lizhou, and it is undoubtedly one of the top powers in the Zhao Kingdom today.

Because of its strong faculty, abundant teaching resources, and superior cultivation environment, Zhulu Academy has attracted many powerful forces of Zhao to send their outstanding disciples to study there, hoping that they can receive guidance from renowned teachers, break through their limitations, and reach a higher level of cultivation.

Zhulu Academy has strict standards for admitting students: applicants must be between twenty and one hundred years old and possess exceptional talent. Furthermore, the academy holds a grand admissions ceremony every March.

At that time, the academy will carefully set up a series of difficult and dangerous tests outside its gates. Only those candidates who successfully pass these tests and rank among the top 1,000 will be qualified to become official students of Zhulu Academy.

However, it should be noted that Zhulu Academy organizes an internal exam every four years. If students fail this exam, they will face ruthless expulsion.

In this way, the students of the academy are guaranteed to maintain a positive and enterprising learning attitude, while ensuring that the overall teaching quality and reputation of the academy are not affected.

The Zhulu Academy is divided into five different courtyards, each with its own unique characteristics and positioning.

First is the Dao Academy, where a group of students with unfathomable cultivation levels gather. They have all stepped into the realm of saints, and their every move exudes an awe-inspiring aura. Adjacent to it is the Heavenly Academy, a place where students at the Heavenly Realm cultivate diligently. They are as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

Next is the Earth Academy, established specifically for students at the True Person Realm. These students are grounded and constantly hone their skills, striving to advance further on their cultivation path. Following that is the Profound Academy, where many students at the Martial Artist Realm gather, each possessing unique skills and formidable martial arts prowess. Finally, there is the Yellow Academy, for students still at the Mortal Realm, who, filled with dreams and aspirations, diligently embark on the path of cultivation.

While at the Baozhou camp, at Lin Nuoyi's invitation, He Beichen suddenly had the idea of ​​going to teach at Zhulu Academy. Coincidentally, at this time, his niece He Yuanhuan also wanted to study at this prestigious academy.

Upon learning of this, Lin Nuoyi did not hesitate to take out two extremely precious tokens—a Master's Token and a Hidden Dragon Token—and handed them to He Beichen.

It's important to know that the normal enrollment period for Zhulu Academy has already passed. However, with this Hidden Dragon Token, He Yuanhuan can still successfully enter the gates of Zhulu Academy and begin her own wonderful academic journey.

For Zhulu Academy, the Hidden Dragon Token is like a rare treasure, with only one hundred issued each year. It is a special admission certificate.

However, the Hidden Dragon Tokens are extremely rare each year, highly sought after by various forces, simply because the Zhulu Academy is rich in resources. If one can enter this academy, it is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, allowing one to break through to a higher realm.

Today, the Hidden Dragon Token of Zhulu Academy has become the only stepping stone for many spoiled young masters from powerful families who have failed the test of Zhulu Academy but still want to enter the academy.

Therefore, in recent years, the Hidden Dragon Token has become extremely sought-after among the major powers in the Zhao Kingdom. Its price has soared at auctions, even far exceeding that of Dao Foundation Treasures. However, for Lin Nuoyi, obtaining the Hidden Dragon Token is a piece of cake.

Lin Nuoyi's family, the Lin family, is one of the most prestigious families in Zhulu Academy. Her great-grandfather, Lin Xuanyan, was at the height of his power, a newly promoted Dao Lord realm expert in Zhulu Academy, and the only Dao Lord realm expert in the academy. Lin Nuoyi was personally raised by Lin Xuanyan from a young age, and her status in Zhulu Academy was naturally extremely respected.

On a bright and sunny day, He Beichen and He Yuanhuan walked side by side and finally arrived at the magnificent gate of the legendary Zhulu Academy. On either side of the gate stood a towering tower that seemed to reach into the clouds, as solemn and majestic as two guardian deities.

Within this tower, one could vaguely see skilled individuals on guard, their eyes sharp as eagles, constantly watching the surrounding movements with vigilance.

Just then, an elderly man in a plain robe, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom—Su Xuandao—slowly stepped out. With a single, casual glance, his deep, wise eyes sized up He Beichen and He Yuanhuan.

With his years of experience and keen intuition, he immediately recognized that these two were not students of Zhulu Academy. However, his curiosity grew wildly, and he wondered what these two young men had come for.

Just as Su Xuandao was pondering, He Beichen and He Yuanhuan also noticed the old man's presence. As if by unspoken agreement, they stopped in their tracks, exchanged a glance, and decided to step forward to ask this seemingly venerable old man for some advice.

He Beichen clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and said, "Greetings, senior! I dare to intrude and would like to ask you where the entrance and enrollment areas for Zhulu Academy are located, and what the specific procedures are. I hope you will be kind enough to enlighten me."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuandao's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at the polite young man before him with interest, smiled slightly, and replied slowly, "Young man, it's not that simple to get an employment or school admission. First, you need to produce the corresponding credentials. Once you have these credentials, the guards at the gate will guide you to complete the necessary procedures."

He Beichen dared not delay for a moment and quickly took out two tokens from his pocket. One was the Master's Token, which symbolized his status as a teacher, and the other was the Hidden Dragon Token, which represented his student status.

He held the token with both hands and respectfully handed it to Su Xuandao, explaining, "Senior, please take a look! I have come here on the behalf of a friend to teach at Zhulu Academy. This young lady is my niece, and she will be enrolling in your academy to further her studies."

Su Xuandao's previously calm face instantly showed a hint of surprise. Judging from their auras, the man and woman in front of him were both experts who had reached the True Person Realm. It was truly unexpected that one of them had come here to work and the other to study.

However, despite his curiosity, Su Xuandao knew that the academy's rules could not be disregarded, so he reached out and took the Master's Token and the Hidden Dragon Token, and carefully examined them.

After examining the two tokens and confirming their authenticity, Su Xuandao felt slightly relieved. However, out of caution, he still casually asked, "May I ask who bestowed upon you the Master's Token and the Hidden Dragon Token?"

He Beichen answered without hesitation, "Replying to senior, these two tokens were given to me by a close friend named Lin Nuoyi."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Xuandao's expression suddenly changed, as if he had heard some extremely shocking news, and he froze. After a moment, he came to his senses and asked incredulously, "Are you sure it's that famous female teacher—Lin Nuoyi?"

Faced with Su Xuandao's questioning, He Beichen nodded heavily in affirmation. Seeing this, Su Xuandao took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil, and then slowly said, "In that case, I will personally lead you to complete the relevant procedures." With that, he turned and led the way, taking He Beichen and his nephew into the academy.
