CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 60: COMPREHENDING THE HEAVEN AND EARTH SWORD, VISITORS FROM THE OUTER REALM?

People can certainly be driven to frustration by comparing themselves to others.

As for the other Awakened, they had the same thought.

At this moment, they all agreed that this Human Emperor would become the strongest among the five, even surpassing the Winged Celestial Divine City. His future name is destined to resonate throughout the world.

Unlike them, who still have to continue comprehending the Sword Stele’s inheritance...

Soon after.

Lu Yuan descended Sword Mountain and came to an open space.

The five deans of Zhen Dan Academy surrounded him directly.

Their expressions were strange, filled with astonishment, and they kept sizing him up.

There was no way around it.

The other’s performance was truly astonishing.

However, given their different statuses, the few quickly calmed down.

Leading Dean Chen, after pondering for a brief moment, directly spoke: "First of all, congratulations Mr. Lu, for successfully comprehending the Sword Stele inheritance. Old Zheng has already told us about the matter. That inheritance does not need to be handed over to our Zhen Dan Academy."

"How to handle it is up to Mr. Lu. I can assure you, no one will say anything about this matter."

Saying this, he felt very pained, as it was the strongest inheritance of Ancient Shu Mountain.

The other deans also gave Dean Zheng a hard look.

But who can change what has already been promised?

Zhen Dan Academy, along with the few of them, cannot afford to lose face.

Therefore, before Lu Yuan descended, the five deans had already made a plan.

Instead of beating around the bush,

it would be better to form a good relationship.

Anyone could see that Lu Yuan’s future was limitless, and he would inevitably become a powerhouse.

Understanding this, building a good relationship with each other was already a good outcome for Zhen Dan Academy.

As for that strongest inheritance, it was somewhat a pity.

But they didn’t ask about it.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan naturally understood what was in the minds of these people.

Zhen Dan Academy’s vision was quite expansive. If it were other forces like the Wu Zhou Group, it would definitely not be like this.

And Dean Zheng and others, allowing him to come to Ancient Shu Mountain without any demands, was already a favor of sorts.

This Lu Yuan did not deny, and he naturally kept it in mind.

"Mr. Lu, where are you planning to go next?"

At this moment, Dean Zheng stepped forward. Now that the inheritance has been comprehended, he wanted to know the other’s next plan and see if there was further potential for interaction. After all, it was now most important to get closer to the other, doing as much as one could.

"I’ll return to Chang’an City first." Lu Yuan thought for a moment and directly replied.

With matters at Ancient Shu Mountain completed, he also had to make a trip to Qinling Mountains.

It’s also his next step of the plan.

"Alright, we have a plane, we can go together." Dean Zheng was delighted, having achieved his goal.

But he added that they would need to wait for Zhu Qingyu and the North Emperor, as they were still comprehending the inheritance.

Lu Yuan certainly didn’t mind, as it wouldn’t take too much time. After chatting with the five deans for a while, he then moved to the side to rest with his eyes closed.

The Heaven and Earth Sword has infinite mysteries that require more comprehension.

"Old Zheng, this time let’s temporarily send some academy students with you back to Chang’an City."

Dean Chen seemed to have thought of something and directly said: "The top predicts that Chang’an City will likely face a beast tide soon. You and Commander Xu must prepare extensively; we will also help."

Sending students over is also to strengthen the defense of Chang’an.

"Hm, I understand."

Hearing this, Dean Zheng replied seriously, knowing the importance.

The other four super cities had more or less experienced beast tides, and now it was Chang’an’s turn.

He even suspected that it might be an arrangement among the Exotic Beasts, but no matter how it was, preparations had to be thorough.

Otherwise, a single mistake could cause tremendous casualties.

Exotic Beasts, the true great enemy of humans.

After that, the few didn’t say much.

Standing in place, waiting.

Once Lu Yuan descended, the others no longer felt affected and began comprehending the Sword Stele’s inheritance.

As previously mentioned, climbing up is one thing; whether one can comprehend anything is another.

Most people left disappointed.

They didn’t obtain the inheritance and fortune.

However, people like the North Emperor and the Ice Fairy succeeded a few hours later.

The things comprehended by people varied, including the Breathing Technique, Visualization Technique, Divine Techniques, and even the lost Ancient Martial Arts of China. It wasn’t limited to just one.

Seeing this, the five deans finally breathed a sigh of relief, as at least this opening of Ancient Shu Mountain was not without gain.

And following this, more openings could attract more Awakened individuals to come.

After the new era, the number of people obtaining Extraordinary Power had grown exponentially.

Their goal was to accumulate in numbers.

No matter the case,

ultimately, there will be gains.

As for Lu Yuan, he sat cross-legged at a distance, calming his spirit.

The Heaven and Earth Sword Divine Technique had already been comprehended by him, and under the support of his immense talent, he understood more and more.

He could be sure that this technique was not inferior to the Jade Emperor Celestial Thunder True Skill and Palm Buddha Country Supreme Sword Dao Divine Techniques.

In terms of attack power, it might even surpass them.

The sword represents killing and conquest.

One of the strongest means of attack.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t focus all his energy on it; sometimes, he also paid attention to others’ situations.

As understood, Zhu Qingyu has strong bloodline and talent. With both combined, he comprehended a very good Visualization Technique on the Sword Stele. Upon returning, if Zhen Dan Academy gives him strong support, his achievements might surpass those of the Ice Fairy and others.

This was normal, as it was merely the early stage of mutation. The so-called Top 100 List and the Five Great Venerables were created by enthusiasts.

As time progresses, truly powerful talents will gradually emerge, transforming swiftly.

Jingle.

But just as Lu Yuan was contemplating these things,

his phone’s ringtone suddenly rang.

Seeing it, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It was actually Chen Song; why was he calling?

After a brief hesitation, Lu Yuan finally chose to answer: "Hello."

"Is this Student Lu? It’s me, Chen Song." The voice on the other end was the same as before, not wasting words, directly getting to the point: "Sorry to bother you, but there’s something very important I think you must know."

"Oh? Please go on," hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled.

"It’s about that small cauldron at my house," Chen Song began to explain.

It turned out that just last night,

a woman suddenly appeared at his house, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She was dressed in traditional clothing, not modern attire, and was very beautiful, even more so than Zhou Yunqiong.

Immediately, she demanded the small green family heirloom cauldron, but Chen Song didn’t know the woman and she didn’t reveal her identity.

"And then?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Because he thought of something, he just needed confirmation.

"Then I said that the small cauldron had long been lost and couldn’t be found. I didn’t say it was given to you," Chen Song said, believing the woman had ill intentions and worried something might happen, so he made up a lie and didn’t mention Lu Yuan’s name, showing good faith.

He also didn’t forget to remind that the woman was strange and might be an Awakened, hoping he would be careful.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yuan’s tone turned slightly heavier.

"Yes."

Chen Song hesitated, but still said: "Student Lu, I have a question, are you that Human Emperor, one of the Five Great Venerables?"

The matter of the strongest Awakened five was abuzz online, and he naturally saw it.

It’s just that because physique and demeanor had changed, it wasn’t confirmed.

This phone call, besides the reminder,

was also to clarify.

Chen Song was an ordinary person, naturally curious about the Awakened, especially someone who might be a classmate.

However, Lu Yuan didn’t answer, only saying: "Chen Song, are you still in Hu City?"

"Yes, in this situation, who dares to go out? My father also needs care."

"If living is not an issue, then return to the countryside. I remember your hometown is under the jurisdiction of a super city as well; it’d be easier after going back." Lu Yuan suddenly said this.

Because he remembered that in his hometown, there were some good Exotic Grass plants.

Although consuming them wouldn’t make one an Awakened,

it could strengthen the body, granting strength greater than normal people.

In the previous life, Chen Song relied on this to completely cure his father’s illness. Now speaking out is just moving the timeline forward.

Of course.

How to choose depends on him.

The man didn’t disclose Lu Yuan took the family cauldron, so Lu Yuan naturally reciprocated the gesture.

"Oh... alright, I understand." Chen Song didn’t ask much, but he became increasingly certain that this classmate, like Zhou Yunqiong, possibly became Awakened, and perhaps... he really was the Human Emperor among the Five Great Venerables.

"I didn’t expect that people from deep Outer Realm space would come so soon."

After hanging up the phone,

Lu Yuan’s gaze became serious, murmuring to himself.
