Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_1

This time, it was a face-to-face discussion at the Daoist Academy.

This was a showcase of the future exchange between the top universities of the Immortal Sect, and it was only natural to bring out the most outstanding talents in the school.

Although Chen Mobai was confident in his unrivaled Magic Duel skills, his realm was still a bit low.

The principals of the other three Daoist Academies were monsters who had already reached Foundation Establishment before entering the academy, and they had all reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment two years ago, which was the exact reason why Zuo Qiushi felt unable to compete and chose to step down.

But Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy and a Daoist master from Repairing Heaven Institute were both in their tenth year, along with Hua Zijing – they all needed to graduate this year.

These monstrous figures would naturally seek ways to acquire the Jade Return Pill in preparation for the highest probability of Core Formation, rather than wasting their years in the Daoist Academy.

This was precisely why both of them had readily agreed when Pure Yang Academy proposed this off-line exchange.

At the very least, they wanted to suppress the Dance Tool Dao Academy again before they graduated.

Of course, the offline discussion was also a chance to introduce the next generation of academy principals to the world.

Chen Mobai was in his prime and wouldn’t graduate for another three years, but that didn’t stop him from bringing along another prospective principal for the next generation of the Daoist Academy.

After spending two years in the Student Council, what began as a fascinating endeavor had become a bit tedious, especially now given Hua Zijing’s upcoming graduation. Considering that Zhuang Jialan hadn’t grown up yet, Chen Mobai knew he would be busy for the next three years. Hence, he had also started considering stepping down and letting someone else take over.

But, he wouldn’t let the prestigious title of Academy Principal be tarnished under his chosen successor. He had to choose someone strong enough to hold back the fierce characters of the other Daoist Academy.

In the end, Zhongli Tianyu was the clear choice.

His progress was astounding, and he had already broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment this year.

With the Divinity Transformation Legacy and “The Union of Differences,” plus the wide array of resources from the Daoist family, Zhongli Tianyu breaks a layer each year. His progress was even more monstrous than the other three.

Among the rest of the students at the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the highest realm was occupied by Hua Zijing and Ming Yu, both at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Besides their innate Spiritual Root talent, it was their ability to secure more credit points than other students, thanks to the resources of the Student Council.

In particular, Ming Yu, who had learned the Art of the Spiritual Eyes and helped others identify the “Device Nurturing Sphere”, had made a fortune from these Good Deed Points.

However, both of them were stuck after the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Or to say, ninety-nine percent of the students couldn’t reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment before graduation. Only one or two do so every ten years.

These people are the real seed of the Path and it’s because of this, Zuo Qiushi easily ended up in the law enforcement department of the Immortal Sect after graduation.

It was Che Yucheng who told Chen Mobai about Zhongli Tianyu’s breakthrough to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

According to Che Yucheng, this achievement should be announced campus-wide.

After all, this suggests that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy is on the rise, with one prodigious student after another popping out, promising a bright future.

But Zhongli Tianyu didn’t agree. He didn’t care to show off.

The reason he had informed Che Yucheng was that Zhongli Tianyu’s family head and Che Yucheng had always shared a good relationship. Before coming to the academy, his family head had told him to go to Che Yucheng if any issues arose.

Another reason was that three pieces of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror were hidden in the Treasure Trove.

Zhongli Tianyu could seek clues from Che Yucheng, every time he achieved a breakthrough to the fourth, seventh level of Foundation Establishment, or when he graduated.

A few days ago, Che Yucheng had just informed Zhongli Tianyu of the second mirror piece.

That’s why Chen Mobai knew where to find Zhongli Tianyu.

He had been there before.

Using a Short Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai returned to the Treasure Trove. He greeted Zhuang Jialan, who was standing at the entrance.

“Are you going deep into the Treasure Trove, Chairman?”

“Yes, I’m here to see someone.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

Chen Mobai gestured that he could go alone.

Seven years after entering school, he had only seen Zhongli Tianyu once during registration. He knew that this man had a peculiar temper, and it might escalate to a fight. If Zhuang Jialan accompanied him, it might restrict his actions.

Moreover, he felt that the scene of him and Zhongli Tianyu engaging in a duel shouldn’t be witnessed by a third person. That would save him from feeling embarrassed.

Upon entering the main cave of the Treasure Trove on the “Red Misty Cloud Silk”, Chen Mobai called Mi Yudao.

“Mi, that Device Nurturing Sphere you found in the Fire Spirit Tree might be opened today.”

After listening to Chen Mobai’s words, Mi Yudao agreed to go immediately.

Initially, beneath the roots and rubble of a Fire Spirit Tree, Mi had found a Device Nurturing Sphere. After Chen Mobai identified it, they found it was an Array Plate, but there was also another Device Nurturing Sphere within the trunk of the Fire Spirit Tree.

Even Chen Mobai’s Void Spirit Eye couldn’t penetrate that Device Nurturing Sphere, initially attributing it to the interference of multiple powers. They were now aware that it sealed a piece of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror.

At its peak, this Magic Artifact was Rank-5. His Void Spirit Eye might have been practiced to a good level, but even for a shard of this rank, he couldn’t see through it.

After waiting for Mi Yudao at the cavern entrance, both of them went together inside.

After traversing five to six hundred meters, they once again ended up in front of the Fire Spirit Tree.
