Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 1048

[Chapter 1045 Imperial Academy]

Inside a fast food restaurant.

There was fried chicken and a drink in front of Fang Xi. In his hand, he was holding a thin screen as transparent as glass, and his fingers were sliding across it skillfully.

Information and news flashed by quickly.

Daxin has long entered the electrical age and its communications network is also well developed.

With this latest generation of mobile phones, with a quick search, you can know everything that has happened over thousands of years.

“Since the spread of mortal methods more than two thousand years ago, the immortal path has flourished!”

“Various basic cultivation techniques and the corresponding talismans, alchemy techniques, and formations have been continuously researched and innovated, reaching an extremely high level…”

“The fact that Daxin could last for more than two thousand years is also related to this… This dynasty actually implemented the ‘Nine-Rank System’! What a corrupt and backward system! It was so openly implemented that it even protected the dynasty for two thousand years…”

Fang Xi looked up at the hustle and bustle of traffic and neon lights outside the window. There were many pedestrians on the road, many of whom were wearing retro Taoist robes and ancient costumes… He couldn’t help but be speechless.

He continued searching, his eyes moving immediately:
“All Daxin practitioners, after building their foundation, can enter the ‘Clan Tree’ and establish a ninth-grade family…”

“Ninth-, eighth-, and seventh-rank families are known as ‘poor families’… they can produce a foundation-building cultivator every generation, and occasionally a Jindan Zhenren, which keeps the family from falling.”

“Sixth-, fifth-, and fourth-rank families are known as ‘aristocratic families’. They can have people forming Dan from generation to generation, and even occasionally produce a Yuanying Zhenjun.”

“The upper third rank family is a ‘powerful clan’ that rules the world together with Daxin. There are many experts among them, and it is even rumored that they have extremely terrifying backgrounds… Perhaps the people who besieged me at the beginning were the ancestors who founded the clan?”

“Only those who have entered the clan genealogy are qualified to be taught the secret method of foundation building and participate in various inspections hosted by Xiao Zhongzheng and Da Zhongzheng, so as to obtain the opportunity to build foundation, form elixir, and condense infant. It is said that ‘there are no true lords in the lower grade and no poor families in the upper grade’… This is the Daxin Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, which is ‘a law that will never change for all eternity’!”

“The gap between this aristocratic family and the noble family seems to be only one rank apart, but in fact it is too big, isn’t it?”

Fang Xi looked at the information he had collected and complained about his incompetence.

“Sure enough, the ultimate goal of mortal cultivation is monopoly… Most sects monopolize the foundation-building pills and other spiritual medicines that break through the rank, while more advanced ones monopolize the resources of the Nascent Soul, Spiritualization, and Return to the Void…”

“When you really reach the top, you’ll find Monopoly Avenue!”

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that ninety-nine percent of the people in Xindu were mortals and Qi-refining cultivators.

Those Qi-refining monks were the ‘common people’ in ancient times. They were not among the ‘aristocratic families’ and had almost no hope of ever attempting to build a foundation in their entire lives.

But they worked for the nobles in various factories and shops…

The whole society is surprisingly well organized, reminiscent of a busy ant nest.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xi couldn’t help but think of his previous life.

In the historical Nine-Rank System, a small group of people monopolized the power to hold official positions, relying on their monopoly on knowledge and the right to interpret.

In Daxin, it is even more ruthless. It directly monopolizes cultivation. If you are not in the ninth rank, or even a poor family, you can only be a minor Qi Refiner at best!
Knowledge needs to be transformed into power, but cultivation can directly bring power and be even more powerful.

Therefore, this rule is as stable as Mount Tai!
“But I only passed down the ‘Hunyuan Jue’ in the beginning, and the highest level of cultivation is Yuanying. How come there are so many different kinds of cultivation all of a sudden? Even the four arts of cultivation have been deduced?”

Fang Xi smelled a conspiracy.

If we say that this kind of prosperous era of immortality has developed for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, it is possible.

But in just two thousand years, it is clear that someone has accelerated the process.

It must be the Golden Immortals or Taoist Lords from the upper realm who took action!

The immortals in this world are extremely good at divination and calculation. As long as they obtain the Hunyuan Jue and use it as a foundation, they can deduce to a higher level, or even other five elements skills, as easy as pie.

“It seems that the immortals in the upper realm attach great importance to the laws of mortals…”

But Fang Xi understood it after thinking about it.

Although the Shushan ancient method progresses extremely quickly, it requires very high talent and it is difficult to get started without being a genius.

What’s more, once you start practicing, you will encounter numerous disasters.

Even at the level of Sword Immortal, one will encounter various disasters and be very troublesome.

In comparison, the mortal method is much simpler, focusing on the inner demon and thunder tribulation, and can also be assisted by external objects.

If combined with this world’s unique reincarnation method, and a few more reincarnations, the possibility of cultivating to the immortal realm would increase greatly!

“There are indeed masters in this world…”

“If one can practice both, and use the Golden Immortal’s method in this world in conjunction with the mortal method to achieve Heavenly Immortal, the difficulty of achieving Dao Lord will be greatly reduced… Perhaps it is the only hope for many immortals who have no hope of advancing?”

As the first person to achieve Dao Lord status by integrating the two major systems, Fang Xi has a lot to say.

“Therefore, maybe there are some golden immortals who have reincarnated specifically to practice this mortal law…”

“As for Daojun, it is unlikely. The path has been chosen and it is difficult to change…”

“Haha, the cultivators in this world like to reincarnate and change their foundation after reaching a bottleneck…”

‘But now, I, the Lord of Samsara, am here!’

Fang Xi looked into the distance, as if he saw the Wheel of Samsara that was everywhere and yet without a trace.

The disk rotated slowly, and countless true spirits rose and fell in it, and he couldn’t help but smile.

…

After eating the fried chicken, he walked out of the restaurant and strolled casually on the street.

It wasn’t long before we arrived at a university town.

This university town is located in the suburbs of Xindu and covers a vast area. At the same time, there is a formation that locks the spiritual energy within each campus without any leakage.

Any university that can be established here is naturally extraordinary.

Among them, there are only two most famous schools for cultivating immortals.

It is not Meishan and Zhushan University. These two universities declined thousands of years ago, and later merged to become “Meizhu University”, ranking third in the list of immortal cultivation schools.

Among the immortal cultivation universities, the second one is a private university run by the Wang family of Langya – Langya University.

The first place on the list is “Taixue”!
“Taixue” is a university officially established by Daxin, and ranks first among many universities. It is said that the success rate of graduates in building foundation is over 50%!
In comparison, the success rate of building foundation of Langya University is only 10%.

The situation at Meizhu University is even worse, with the success rate of graduates in building a foundation being around 1%.

But compared with the millions of social animals and independent practitioners who cannot cultivate to the perfection of Qi Refining in their entire life, or even the large number of people who fail in building their foundation, it is already much better.

For some reason, if the Qi-refining perfect cultivators in the Shushan world cannot obtain the foundation-building pill or other foundation-building spiritual objects, and only rely on their own impact, the success rate is only one in ten thousand…

This is probably because the laws of the two universes are slightly different after all.

As for these immortal cultivation universities, admission is not by exams, but the Daxin court sends officials such as Xiao Zhongzheng to various places to examine the character, qualifications, opportunities of the children of each noble family… and then make comments. Finally, the decision is made by Da Zhongzheng, and the best ones are selected to enter the Imperial College.

If one cannot enter the Imperial College, one can enter Langya University by relying on personal connections, meeting the minimum requirements, and being able to pay the high tuition fees.

“There are many things that can be done here… Therefore, Xiao Zhongzheng and Xiao Zhongzheng are the admissions directors, which is a very lucrative position…”

Fang Xi shook his head: “Children from poor families can only enter Langya or Meizhu University at most. Few can break through this barrier and enter the Imperial College…”

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

As the highest institution of learning, 99% of the students in the Imperial College came from the top three classes of aristocratic families.

The class stratification is so stratified that it is simply outrageous.

The more this happened, the more the rule of the Daxin court became more consolidated, which was also common sense.

‘Survival of the fittest… that’s all.’

“As for the casual cultivators who come from ordinary people, they will never have anything to do with universities in their entire lives…”

Fang Xi stood outside the university area and did not enter.

The place has a strict hierarchy, with guards standing guard and patrolling… Ordinary mortals and independent cultivators will only be expelled.

“Ninety percent of those who are reincarnated from the heavens will go to the Imperial Academy for further studies…”

‘It seems that I should become a teacher again?’

He sneered in his heart.

Suddenly, accompanied by the roar of dragons, a retro carriage emerged from the sky.

The chariot is made entirely of bronze and engraved with complex and mysterious runes.

There were six dragons pulling in front!

Although these dragons are hybrids, they are also at the third-level Jindan level. At this moment, they are showing their fangs and claws, with extraordinary momentum.

“It’s the six-dragon carriage! The new Da Zhongzheng is here!”

“This Grand Chancellor seems to be from the Ma family? The Wang and Ma families share the world. Even the position of Grand Chancellor, who can judge the future of all the great immortal cultivators, is held in turn by the Wang and Ma families. This is true…”

The monks watched with envy, jealousy and hatred.

The six-dragon carriage stopped on the Imperial College Square, and a middle-aged man with a square face, wearing a star-shaped robe and a tall crown walked out of it.

Its temperament is old-fashioned and has a bit of meticulousness.

In the Imperial Academy, a group of Jindan-level teachers had already flown out and saluted respectfully: “Greetings to the Great Zhongzheng…”

“Well… a new round of ‘Monthly Review’ is about to be held. This is the most important thing and cannot be neglected.”

Ma Dazhongzheng gave a faint instruction and took out a jade scroll from his long sleeves.

On the jade bamboo slips, there are golden words with names and comments written on them.

The first one among them was Ma Liang. After his biography, there was an eight-character comment: “Among the ten outstanding people of the Ma family, Baimei is the best!”
This short eight-character comment could decide whether a talented cultivator could go to the Imperial College, or could only go to Meizhu University, or even be eliminated…

After Ma Liang, there was a man from the Wang family named Wang Helong, whose comment was “Langya is majestic, dragons and cranes compete for supremacy”!
“Da Zhongzheng’s comments are brilliant, and we admire him…”

All the monks bowed in admiration.

“Of course. We are selecting talents for the country, so we must have a clear conscience… I just recommend people who are my relatives and those who are my enemies…”

Ma Dazhongzheng waved his hand and said: “You guys check it out. If the list is correct, then announce it…”

He said goodbye to his teachers and returned to his cave.

Suddenly, a young man in a green robe appeared before my eyes.

“you……”

Before he could open his mouth, the world seemed to become unreal and the boy in front of him became incomparably tall.

“Life and death are like bubbles…”

Fang Xi murmured a sentence, looked at the little man in the soap bubble in his hand, and squeezed it gently.

Pop!
The soap bubble burst and the little man disappeared without a trace.

“It is your honor to die under the Law of Disillusionment…”

Fang Xi sneered.

Although he was still a young man in blue at this time, after using the Law of Disillusionment, he became Da Zhongzheng in the eyes of others.

Even the magic weapon and blood restriction will be confused, which is a real method of stealing the day.
