NOVEL WEB Chapter 33: Joining Deer Chase Academy
The Initial Land was packed with people, almost to the point of bursting. Golden passages were constantly being constructed, and groups of people rushed over. Shi Jian's matter caused a huge uproar, and many experts Cultivating in the Heavenly Passage Boundary all emerged from seclusion.
The entire Virtual God Realm had not been as lively as it was today in decades. Heads bobbed everywhere, people were everywhere. Some people came simply to watch the excitement, while others, upon learning of Shi Jian's intention to join another force, came to recruit Shi Jian!
Mending Heaven Pavilion, Stone Kingdom, Deer Chase Academy… Forces from all sides gathered. Shi Jian was at the very center of the crowd, like stars surrounding the moon. After he stated his conditions, the people from various forces did not respond immediately; instead, they contacted the authorities behind them.
After a long while, someone finally responded. An ancient beast hide fluttered, with runes shining on it, and the beast hide descended directly into the Initial Land. A majestic middle-aged man walked down from the beast hide.
"Pavilion Master!" In the crowd, someone immediately stepped forward to greet him. The middle-aged man nodded, then walked towards Shi Jian.
"Little brother, we would like to invite you to join Mending Heaven Pavilion. All the scriptures and Cultivation Techniques within Mending Heaven Pavilion will be fully open to you…" The person who came was none other than the Pavilion Master of Mending Heaven Pavilion. A heavyweight figure. He personally invited Shi Jian to join Mending Heaven Pavilion.
"Young friend, don't make a hasty decision. A place like Mending Heaven Pavilion may not be suitable for your Cultivation. Mending Heaven Pavilion has too many disciples, and resources cannot be fully concentrated on you. If you join our ancient Family, it will be different…" Another white-haired, youthful-faced old man arrived. This was an ancient Family that had once founded an ancient kingdom.
There was also a five-colored luan bird that soared into the sky, then descended upon the Initial Land. A man arrived with a woman fully covered in golden armor, possessing a proud figure, long, straight legs, and a profound Dao! This was the Dean of Deer Chase Academy. Beside him was the War Goddess of Deer Chase Academy!
"Young friend, how about joining Deer Chase Academy? All the scriptures and Cultivation Techniques of my Deer Chase Academy are available for you to peruse. In addition, my Deer Chase Academy will bear all your resources before you Breakthrough to the Venerable Realm…" The Dean of Deer Chase Academy promised.
"Enter my Archaic Divine Mountains, and my Archaic Divine Mountains will help you Breakthrough to the Ten Divine Heavens Realm…" Another old man descended, uttering astonishing words.
People around looked on. Even forces from within the Archaic Divine Mountains were alarmed? To open the Ten Great Heavenly Passage Boundary, this old man had quite a boastful tone.
Shi Jian looked at the old man upon hearing this, and the old man was also observing him. Shi Jian heard the man's voice transmitting into his ear.
"If you are willing to enter my Archaic Divine Mountains, you will have the opportunity to obtain a Ten Fiend's Lost Art!"
Shi Jian understood after hearing his words. If there were no surprises, this old man should be Yun Xi's grandfather, right? The Ten Fiend's Lost Art he mentioned should be the Kunpeng's Art. That thing is still in the Kun Peng Divine Burial right now. The Kun Peng Divine Burial requires a person of the Ten Divine Heavens to open it.
The people of Archaic Divine Mountains knew that the Desolate Region was about to descend into chaos, which is why they plotted for the Kunpeng's Treasure Art. However, Kunpeng had set up a Restriction in his tomb. Only a Genius of the Ten Divine Heavens could open it. It's just that a Genius of the Ten Divine Heavens is so rare, and the old man only sought out Shi Jian because of his talent.
Shi Jian, being able to Cultivate to such a degree in the Blood Moving Realm, would certainly be able to condense the Ten Great Heavenly Passage Boundary. That's why he sought out Shi Jian, promising to help Shi Jian Breakthrough to the Ten Great Heavenly Passage Boundary.
A large group of top-tier forces made various promises. On the basis of freely accessible scriptures and unlimited basic resources, major forces also brought out various Heaven And Earth Treasures: Immaculate Golden Body Liquid, supreme treasure artifacts, pureblood treasure blood… Various precious and rare treasures were promised one by one.
After careful consideration, Shi Jian finally decided to join Deer Chase Academy! Among these forces, the Archaic Divine Mountains' power was undoubtedly the strongest. However, this old man had impure intentions. The reason he was trying to win him over was merely to get a Genius of the Ten Divine Heavens to open the Kun Peng Divine Burial! Moreover, the relationships within the Archaic Divine Mountains' forces were too complicated. Joining them would be asking for trouble.
The conditions offered by those ancient Family forces were indeed generous, but most of them existed in the form of Families… Although the conditions they offered were generous, they were not given for free. There were likely implicit requirements like "marriage alliances" or "marrying into the Family."
Shi Jian also found it difficult to choose. The most suitable places for him to join were forces similar to Sects, like Deer Chase Academy and Mending Heaven Pavilion. Such forces accept anyone. As long as you have talent, they will focus on Cultivating you. Fewer Restrictions, high degree of freedom, and provision of Cultivation resources… Very suitable for Shi Jian.
Considering that Shi Hao would go to Mending Heaven Pavilion in the future, Shi Jian chose Deer Chase Academy.
Having made up his mind, Shi Jian politely faced the crowd and said, "Everyone, I have understood all your conditions. After consideration, I have decided to join Deer Chase Academy!"
The people from the various forces expressed regret upon hearing this, while only the Dean of Deer Chase Academy looked excited. "Good, good, good, young friend, you will never regret joining my Deer Chase Academy!" The Dean of Deer Chase Academy had not expected Shi Jian to choose them. After all, although Deer Chase Academy's strength was strong, which of the forces present here was inferior to their Deer Chase Academy? Shi Jian choosing their Deer Chase Academy was truly a surprise to him.
Those acquainted with the Dean of Deer Chase Academy quickly offered their congratulations. No one became angry or embarrassed because Shi Jian rejected their recruitment. A Prodigy like Shi Jian, even if unable to be recruited, should still be befriended. Killing him before he grows up is a last resort when there is enmity. Moreover, Heaven-Defying individuals like him are all people with deep blessings! Killing him would also be a difficult task. Not to mention they are still in the Virtual God Realm…
Due to various considerations, the atmosphere among everyone was quite harmonious. Shi Jian was not a hothead either; as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since these major forces intended to befriend him, he wouldn't say anything that would spoil the mood! He responded to everyone's goodwill one by one. They got to know each other, and a good relationship was established. If there were conflicts of interest in the future, that would be another matter.
After a while, the crowd in the Initial Land gradually dispersed, and the people from the major forces also left one after another. The old man from Archaic Divine Mountains even sent him a message, saying that if he could Breakthrough to the Ten Divine Heavens, he would give him an opportunity… Shi Jian knew this guy's intentions, so he didn't explicitly express his stance.
Finally, only the excited Dean of Deer Chase Academy remained. The Dean of Deer Chase Academy discussed Shi Jian's benefits and treatment with him, promising that all the Cultivation Techniques and resources of Deer Chase Academy would be open to him. Shi Jian was quite satisfied with the promised benefits. Both sides unanimously reached a deeper agreement.
Shi Jian also used the Library of the Heavens to record all the original treasure bones he had obtained, and then uploaded them to the chat group. After recording everything, he threw all the original treasure bones to the Dean of Deer Chase Academy in one go! He asked him to auction off all these items and exchange them for Cultivation resources for himself.
The Dean of Deer Chase Academy looked dumbfounded. Shi Jian just so straightforwardly handed over so many original treasure bones to him?
Shi Jian was not afraid that the Dean of Deer Chase Academy would embezzle these original treasure bones. Just now, those top-tier forces had the intention to purchase original treasure bones. Firstly, original treasure bones were indeed treasures, and secondly, they also wanted to use this opportunity to befriend Shi Jian.
If Deer Chase Academy dared to split with him over these original treasure bones, then Deer Chase Academy would become another Mending Heaven Pavilion in the future. After all, Deer Chase Academy couldn't possibly consume so many original treasure bones. Shi Jian believed that the Dean of Deer Chase Academy knew what he was doing.
Anyway, he himself had already made a huge profit. The runes on these original treasure bones had all been recorded by him.
