Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

"What trouble?"

"I originally passed the assessment and could have entered the college, but someone intercepted me..."

Wang Sheng furrowed his brows but still replied, "If that is true, I can easily resolve it."

"Greetings, Master!"

The boy didn't hesitate and knelt down immediately.

"Rise first. We'll discuss your problem later. You have a younger sister now."

The boy nodded, trusting Wang Sheng now that he had taken him as his master.

Wang Sheng was pleased with his attitude, waving his hand and bringing him to the girl.

At this moment, the girl was surrounded by the college's powerhouses. Having passed the test, she would normally have direct entry to the college. Now, with her special constitution, she was highly sought after.

"May I ask her a question?"

The questioning powerhouses turned their heads and saw a familiar figure.

"Sir!"

Everyone present was at least in the Fifth Realm and naturally recognized Wang Sheng.

They all displayed envious looks. Having a disciple of the sir was something they, too, desired.

But that was merely a wish.

Without hesitation, everyone made way.

Wang Sheng approached the girl and asked, "Would you like to be my disciple?"

The girl didn't hesitate at all. "Disciple Zhao Mingyue, greetings, Master!"

The speed of her response was somewhat surprising to Wang Sheng. "Is this how you make your decisions?"

Zhao Mingyue showed a clever but shy smile and said, "I don't know your identity, sir, but seeing how respectfully the significant figures of the college treat you, taking you as my master must be right."

Wang Sheng was rendered speechless but said no more.

"From now on, you are one of my disciples. He is your older brother disciple; get along well."

"Yes, Master!" After speaking, she turned toward the boy and cheerfully said, "Hello, older brother!"

The boy was a bit shy, but still managed to call her younger sister.

Having accepted two disciples, it was time to resolve the issue.

"Where is the dean of the college?"

As soon as Wang Sheng appeared, the dean, having received the news, came forward immediately: "Sir, I am Fan Jingchu, the dean of the college. How may I assist you?"

After Huangtian had been the dean for twenty years, he passed it on to a more suitable person, Fan Jingchu, a cultivator of the Sixth Realm.

"There has been a case of someone replacing another to enter the college. Are you aware of this?"

The dean was immediately dumbfounded. He hadn't expected such a situation to occur in Datong College, the highest educational institution in Datong.

"Sir, I will handle this matter immediately. This is my negligence. After handling it, I will accept any punishment." He did not plead or make excuses. Although he indeed was unaware, it was still a dereliction of duty.

"Um!" Wang Sheng nodded. "After handling it, report to Huangtian and see how he decides to deal with you."

After saying this, he took his two young disciples and left.

The senior leaders of the college, observing Fan Jingchu's expression, knew a storm was brewing.

Datong College, with its stringent rules established for decades, ultimately faced an issue. It seemed to involve replacement, but in reality, it pointed to a significant loophole in the admissions rules...

Wang Sheng did not concern himself with the follow-up; he knew he would be notified once everything was settled.

He was watching his two young disciples.

He knew the girl disciple's name was Zhao Mingyue, but the boy's name remained unknown!

"What is your name?"

"Master, my name is Gu Qingfeng!"

Wang Sheng chuckled upon hearing the name.

"Your Daoist titles will simply be taken from your names, one Qing Feng and one Mingyue, saving me quite a bit of effort."

The titles under the disciple of Immortal Zhenyuan would not disgrace them.

"Yes, Master!"

Neither objected, finding satisfaction in their Daoist titles.

"Do your families have any problems that need resolving? The upcoming cultivation will require a long time."

"I am alone," Qing Feng said straightforwardly.

"My family left after sending me to the college, Master. Won't I see them again in the future?"

"Not necessarily so. If there are problems, I can help you resolve them. After building a solid foundation, you will all go to study at Datong College. If you wish to return home, you may do so on your own, but do not neglect your cultivation." Wang Sheng never opposed clinging to family, as the path of immortality starts with the individual.

"For Qing Feng, should you have nowhere else to go, just come back here."

"Yes, Master!" Clearly, both Qing Feng and Mingyue were happy.

"Since there's no immediate issue at hand, let's start with the basics. First is literacy..."

Regardless of whether the two had received education, they needed to learn, and he had to explain some specialized terminologies related to Inner Core Skill.

The cultivation of Inner Core Skill formally began for Qing Feng and Mingyue.

Wang Sheng took some time each day to educate them, though more often, his incarnation was in charge of teaching.

A week later, Huangtian came to Qingshan Village to explain how the substitute entrance issue was resolved.

Apparently, someone saw Qing Feng alone and harbored ill intentions, making the resolution simple.

Qing Feng's obsession dissolved in an instant, and their cultivation sped up.

Perhaps it would not be long before they could get started.

As he taught the two disciples, Wang Sheng's own cultivation naturally did not fall behind.

The daily consumption of Pure Spiritual Power and Life Essence Qi was tremendous.

His cultivation level advanced quickly.

Simultaneously, the task handled by his incarnation related to the Heavenly Saint Star inter-realm channel finally received good news.

"Is it now passable by the Seventh Realm?"

If it was passable by the Seventh Realm, things would be much simpler.

He didn't hesitate and sent his avatar there.

The Seventh Realm avatar wanted to inspect the situation and fully open the inter-realm channel.

However, the moment the avatar exited the inter-realm channel, it was struck fiercely; three Eighth Realm beings attacked him together.

Eventually, the avatar was unharmed but achieved nothing significant.

"Three Eighth Realm beings acting together, two of whom are strong within the Eighth Realm... this is tough..."

If unable to handle three Eighth Realm beings, entering Heavenly Saint Star was impossible unless waiting until it was fully open to send an Eighth Realm avatar.

For a full opening, it would still take years.

"Waiting is an option, but perhaps another method should be considered... Daojun's method?"

Daojun's method essentially involved using Believers and Chaotic Realm powerhouses to transmit his power, coordinating with the Chaotic Realm will to pervade the world he intended to descend upon.

Of course, the sacrifice was substantial.

However—

"Daojun is restricted by the world, making his descent even more difficult, but I'm different; I have no such restrictions. This method could work... but some adjustments are necessary, at least to allow the descent of Eighth Realm power."

He did not have so many Eighth Realm beings to sacrifice, even if he had, he wouldn't utilize them.

But who says the method couldn't be modified?
