Perfect World

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: The Eldest Senior Brother Has Arrived
 

The Celestial Immortal Academy, grandiose and magnificent.

At twilight, the resplendent sunset adorned with edges of gold, sprinkling down upon the buildings, imparting a sacred tranquility and a transcendental beauty.

In the distance, stall by stall in the market were closing up, bringing to an end a day of noise and bustle.

At the academy’s entrance, students were coming and going, many as pairs of cultivators, stepping out to relax after a day of cultivation, strolling amid the sunset, appreciating the tranquil beauty.

The offspring of Divine Birds—a Green Luan—flapping its wings in the setting sun, its feathers shimmering like greenish-gold, clasped a piece of paper in its beak, emanating a gentle glow, utterly peaceful.

Regrettably, the tranquility was soon shattered.

Yells of reprimand, cries of pain, and women’s shrieks came from the distant market; precious symbols burst into light, ferociously ablaze, erupting chaotically everywhere.

“Eh, it’s our academy’s students, engaging in battle with others!”

“They’ve suffered a setback, overpowered in an instant, let’s hurry over and have a look!”

Students by the academy’s entrance surged forward, especially the adept ones, who sped like lightning and quickly approached the scene.

“What happened?” asked an upperclassman, surrounded by a group whose skeletons shimmered with Bone Text, all formidable experts.

“That guy came during the day, took on a task here, and thrashed these fellows, all beaten to the ground,” someone explained, pointing to the students lying on the ground.

“What a mess, who was that guy from today?”

Someone quickly provided an explanation: “Err, a guy who set up a stall in the morning took on various tasks, offering to help people from the academy with their battles, willing to beat up lowerclassmen, even trouncing upperclassmen!”

“What a bizarre situation, daring to take up tasks in the Celestial Immortal Academy and assaulting the academy’s elites; does he want to defy heaven itself?”

The enforcement team of the students also arrived, just in time to hear this, and their noses almost twisted in rage. This was audacity to the extreme, beyond endurance.

“This brazen, he truly dared come here?”

In the afterglow of the setting sun, as the people discussed the events of the day, they were filled with righteous indignation. To conduct business beating people at the entrance of the Celestial Immortal Academy, did this mean contempt for the students of the academy?

Subsequently, the people learned the details: a freshly enrolled loose cultivator youth had been bullied by people of the Nether Race and then stationed himself here, hiring that person to take action.

In fact, Shi Hao, with a Black Metal Badge, was preparing to enter the Celestial Immortal Academy when he came across a youth with a swollen nose and bruised face seeking him out.

After learning the details, he took action, beating up several arrogant elites of the Nether Race who had bullied the Loose Cultivator, leaving them on the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Shi Hao merely symbolically collected some compensation, informing the youth that since it was his first business transaction, it was therefore half-free, but the youth must promote him, advertising that he’d beat up anyone, provided that there were treasures like precious medicine at stake.

“Pfft!”

The members of the Nether Race who had just regained consciousness heard the whole story and spat out a mouthful of blood with rage.

After hearing this, everyone else was also left speechless. Indeed, such an oddball existed? Demanding compensation for beating up lowerclassmen and thrashing upperclassmen right at the gate of the Celestial Immortal Academy—it was utterly scandalous and arrogant.

“Did he mention his name?” an upperclassman asked.

“He claimed to be the ‘Big Senior Brother’!”

The group exchanged glances, their expressions turning strange.

“Have you heard about another incident today? It’s said that the dilapidated sect drowned by weeds has sprung back to life. A disciple has emerged, who also claims to be the Big Senior Brother, and he has beaten up several of our younger brothers, causing a sensation within the academy.”

“This is a serious matter. Tomorrow, a large group of high-level experts might head there to investigate. If that notoriously infamous tradition has truly revived, they will definitely launch a large-scale expedition to suppress the inheritor.”

At this point, everyone showed a look of surprise. Could the two incidents be related to the same person?

“I believe it is quite likely to be one person!”

“As I expected, inherited from the same lineage, this school’s infamy is deep-rooted. We must go tomorrow in full force to suppress this disciple of the foul tradition!”

At the entrance of the academy, it was chaos, and no one could remain seated, especially the members of the enforcement team, itching to head into the mountains immediately.

“Restore tranquility to the Celestial Immortal Academy, eradicate the notorious residues of the wicked Dao Ground!”

“Crusade against the degenerates!”

“The sun is about to set, and that ruined heavenly passage gate is strange, better wait until tomorrow to go up the mountain, and call upon experts to eliminate the evil bandit together!”

In the distance, Shi Hao heard everything clearly and understood fully, speechless with a sense of irony. Carrying the title of the Supreme Dao Ground’s Big Senior Brother did indeed infuriate humans and ghosts alike, with infamy spread far and wide.

Yet, he was not afraid; tomorrow’s matters could be dealt with tomorrow. For now, finding the Tribulation God Lotus was of paramount importance, and if successful, he could just hit the road and disappear.

The Celestial Immortal Academy was an open academy, and because it was strong enough, it didn’t have strict gate checks, permitting people from the market to come and go.

This in itself demonstrated the power of the sect, exuding a kind of confidence and fearlessness against outsiders!

Shi Hao strolled in quite effortlessly, without any hindrance.

The crimson sunset made the academy appear even more serene; there were many students entering and exiting, all orderly and quiet, without any loud noises.

Shi Hao had a youthful appearance, only seventeen or eighteen years of age, and did not stand out here; everyone assumed he was a student.

He looked around, not in a hurry to find the location of the Tribulation God Lotus, but occasionally paused to admire the picturesque scenery of the academy and the cliff-side Stele branded with the road’s marks and so on.

There were clusters of buildings here, as well as spiritual mountains emitting auspicious vapors, and a big river that ran through the academy with waterfalls and the like, and Divine Birds and magical beasts made their appearances.

Half mountain, half city, the scenery was stunning with flowing strands of pure white mist, which were the embodiment of the refined essence of Heaven and Earth, not water vapor.

Suddenly, Shi Hao found a bustling place where many students were heading, and from afar, he could smell the intoxicating aroma of wine and the drool-worthy fragrance of delicious food.

“What a great place indeed.”

Shi Hao’s eyes glazed over because he saw delicacies like Golden Elephant Trunk, Purple-Gold Camel Hump, Spiritual Medicine Monkey Mushrooms, Flying Bear Paws, and even Golden-Winged Peng’s meaty wings roasted to a golden hue.

“Forget it, important matters come first.” He swallowed hard, reluctant to leave, looking back three times with each step he took, but he temporarily left this place for something more important to do tonight.

Following a worn-out map given by Qi Daolin, Shi Hao figured out the direction and walked along a path paved with pebbles towards a quiet place, entering the deepest part of the academy.

Along the way, Shi Hao noticed that those important areas were densely covered with Arrays, and symbols flashed, hard to penetrate, so he wasn’t worried about outsiders coming to disturb the academy.

Turning left and right, he stepped across a piece of mountainous ground, where auspicious vapors steamed and the glow was dazzling, evidently entering the most important treasure land.

On the road, he was stopped by several people, but seeing the Black Metal Badge, they all stepped back and no longer appeared.

Especially when Shi Hao stepped into an Array, this Black Metal Badge glowed, blocking the attack of characters, allowing the road to be peaceful and safe to enter.

Shi Hao was astonished and believed Qi Daolin’s words at this point; this badge was indeed extraordinary, a treasure of the academy!

“The old guy infuriates humans and ghosts alike; how big a favor did he sell to make the upper levels of the academy both respect and hate him, granting him a secret command?”

He speculated in his heart that Qi Daolin, despite his notorious reputation, must also be a man with stories, not only causing trouble in the world but also having his “righteous” moments.

The sun had set, insect calls started to sound, hiding in the bushes, some melodious and enticing, while others muttered like muffled thunder.

Shi Hao was surprised; definitely, there was a Bug King here, very extraordinary.

Using his Dual Pupils, he spotted dozens of divine lights, all emitted by insect bodies, lying on grass blades, hiding on Stone Peaks, incredibly astonishing.

Shi Hao inhaled sharply as he saw a bizarre insect, too extraordinary, only the size of a thumb, but it emitted scarlet light that dyed a mountain peak red.

And its appearance was very strange, resembling a Blood Phoenix.

“Could this be the Archaic Demon Butterfly hoping to evolve into the Bug Emperor that Feng Wu brought from the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm?” Shi Hao grew solemn, pondering if there would be a battle of Bug Emperors in the future.

The moon rose, casting down its silvery glow.

He passed through dozens of Arrays, relying on the Black Metal Badge, and smoothly arrived at a place filled with misty clouds of radiant color.

“This should be the Immortal Pond that nurtures the Tribulation God Lotus,” Shi Hao muttered to himself, looking ahead as the mist was pervasive and the dawn light fluid, splendidly bright.

From afar, he had already smelled the fragrance.

“No wonder the Celestial Immortal Academy dares to announce to the public that anyone who can provide Seven-Colored Immortal Gold can come here to soak for a day and a night,” Shi Hao mumbled.

It was less an Immortal Pond and more a crystal-clear lake, with the clouds of mist spreading, immensely vast.

Suddenly, Shi Hao’s expression shifted, for his Divine Sense was acute; he sensed someone far away, immediately concealed his own aura, and used Dual Pupils to see, and for a moment, he was stunned.

Because he saw an extremely beautiful picture.

Under the bright moon, there was a stunning figure, with jet-black glossy hair cascading down to her waist, her neck as white as a swan, half her dress slipping down, revealing her warm and lustrous shoulders, her bright eyes like stars, and her long eyelashes trembling lightly.

She was a peerless Fairy about to bathe, with her clothes half-drawn, enchanting and astonishing, poetic and picturesque, making one’s heart waver.

It was Yue Chan!

With a graceful figure and snow-white skin, she stood by the Immortal Pond, with crystal petals fluttering in the air, mist curling up, like a Banished Fairy stepping into the mortal world.

“Don’t peep at the inappropriate,” Shi Hao said to himself, then added: “But what’s there to be afraid of? She’s my wife!” And with that, he opened his eyes wide, trying to get a better look!

He hadn’t expected to encounter Yue Chan, he touched his chin and quietly appreciated.

Clearly, Yue Chan’s instincts and perception were also very keen. She turned around, somewhat suspicious, but unfortunately, she did not possess Dual Pupils, and Shi Hao had already hidden his aura, so after a moment of hesitation, she stepped into the water.

“Well, I won’t go over there for now,” Shi Hao said, choosing another direction to enter the divine pond.

Having important matters at hand, he didn’t delay, and moved silently through the moonlit lake, approaching the fragrant area.

But what if they bumped into each other?

Shi Hao felt that he was already avoiding her, which was quite considerate, and besides, that was his “wife”!

“You better not come seduce me, for my self-control has always been… very poor!” he shamelessly muttered to himself.

Shi Hao howled for protection, begging for monthly votes from his readers, asking for the monthly votes to be cast.
