Chapter 262: Bringing the Freshmen to the Gates for Consecration
“To strengthen the development of school spirit, establish a normal administration of cultivation, and create a good cultivation environment, I’ll simply speak on a few points regarding the school rules.
“One, respect the teachers and obey their arrangements.
“Two, fighting is strictly prohibited on campus. Students should be united and help one another.
“Third, you are not allowed to leave the Immortal Cultivation University without my or the instructions of the deans or teachers.
“Fourth, protect the various facilities on campus and do not damage the university’s public property. Finally, a good cultivation environment needs to be maintained by all of us.
“These are all that I mainly wish to emphasize. The will be handed out afterward.
“If there are any violations, you will be punished. For severe cases, you will be expelled. I hope everyone will abide by these rules.”
The freshmen immediately declared that they would abide by the school rules. Otherwise, they would be struck by lightning and have their third leg shortened…
When he heard this, Qin Chuan merely smiled and didn’t say anything.
After that, he began to introduce the teachers and deans of the faculties and specializations.
“This is w.a.n.g Zhixing, Dean w.a.n.g.
“He is the dean of the Combat Faculty and also vice-princ.i.p.al of the university.
“If I’m not around, everyone will listen to Dean w.a.n.g.
“Even though our Dean w.a.n.g looks so young, he is actually in his seventies.”
These words immediately shocked the freshmen below.
When he saw their incredulous expressions, Qin Chuan casually waved his hand, and an image appeared in the air above the training hall.
The image showed an old man wearing reading gla.s.ses. His face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was white. He was inching forward with difficulty on a walking stick.
Qin Chuan said, “This was what Dean w.a.n.g used to look like.”
Although the freshmen had guessed it, they still could not bring themselves to believe it. However, now that Qin Chuan had personally admitted it, it was definitely shocking.
Becoming youthful again was something everyone yearned for.
For example, rich people or celebrities would spend a lot of money to buy expensive skin care products and expensive drugs to make themselves look younger.
It was a universal desire to look attractive,
Among the new students, there were quite a few who were getting on in years.
They knew that cultivating could increase one’s lifespan, but they didn’t know that it could also make people younger.
With this, they became even more determined to cultivate. They felt like cultivation was the best choice they had made in their life.
After Qin Chuan finished introducing w.a.n.g Zhixing, he introduced the other teachers one by one.
The opening ceremony was nearing its end.
Qin Chuan had the freshmen report to the teachers in their respective faculties.
Two days later, cla.s.ses officially began at the university.
As their spiritual energy had yet to recover, these new students still had the bodies of mortals. If they wanted to cultivate, they had to change their physiques into bodies of immortal cultivators.
They had to be brought to the sect to undergo the consecration of the gates and the cleansing in the Spirit Spring.
The sky was still dark, but Immortal Cultivation University was brightly lit.
There were a total of fifty thousand people in the six faculties. It was obviously not possible to convert all of them within a day.
As a result, the six faculties went in batches, starting from the Combat Faculty.
w.a.n.g Zhixing and the teachers of the various specializations led the students of the Combat Faculty through the teleportation array to the sect.
This was the first time the students were entering the sect. They were dumbfounded when they saw this paradise-like place.
When he saw the stupefied students, w.a.n.g Zhixing loudly introduced the place, “This is our holy land of cultivation. The path of cultivation for me and my teachers also began here.”
As he saw the golden dragons and phoenixes in the sky, all sorts of memories surfaced in w.a.n.g Zhixing’s mind.
Thinking back, when my old friends and I first came to this place, our expressions were the same.
w.a.n.g Zhixing recalled that he did not believe in cultivation at the time. He had naively thought that it was a scientific experiment.
Now that he thought back, he found it really ridiculous.
“Students!” w.a.n.g Zhixing’s voice was like a loud bell, instantly waking the students from their shock.
“In a while, everyone will have to pay their respects to the gates.
“When paying respects, you must maintain a reverent heart and not have any other thoughts,” w.a.n.g Zhixing said.
“Understood!” the students replied seriously.
Immediately, w.a.n.g Zhixing instructed the teachers of the specializations to lead their students through the gates in batches.
Meanwhile…
Qin Chuan, who was cultivating in the Purple Bamboo Forest, was paying close attention to the situation at the gates.
In the past five years, he had acc.u.mulated nearly one billion points and had already upgraded the various structures of the sect.
The sect was currently at the third level and could accommodate 100,000 people. There was absolutely no need for him to set up a cultivation university in the outside world.
However, in the future, it will be an era of cultivation for all the people. Cultivation universities would have to be opened sooner or later, so it didn’t really matter if he started now.
Qin Chuan did some calculations. Based on the current rate of points growth, even if he didn’t recruit new disciples, he would have no problem gathering the points required for the Spirits within the time limit.
The addition of these freshmen shall be considered as acc.u.mulating extra points!
If an accident happened one day, these people could be transferred to the sect to cultivate and increase their cultivation speed to increase the points obtained.
At this moment, the new students began to pay their respects. Multi-colored light flickered incessantly.
The system notifications in Qin Chuan’s mind continued to ring.
“x.x.x has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root!”
“x.x.x has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root!”
“x.x.x has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root!”
…
The gates were at Level Four. Most of the disciples who underwent the consecration awakened Heavenly Spirit Roots. Unless their natural endowments were too poor and pushed lower, the majority were Heavenly Spirit Roots.
The gates had unlocked a new function at level four.
Consecration could be repeatedly done.
After unlocking the new function, the first consecration would be free. However, one would have to spend a certain amount of points subsequently.
Hence, Qin Chuan gathered all the disciples from before and had them undergo consecration again.
After that, those with lower-level spirit roots all awakened into Heavenly Spirit Roots. Some of those who were already Heavenly Spirit Roots were lucky and turned into souls.
For example, w.a.n.g Zhixing had awakened his Sword Soul.
Although the Sword Soul was not as rare as Zhao Xuanxuan’s Fire Phoenix Soul and Ma Qingxue’s Frost Soul, it was still a very good one.
In the cultivation world, sword cultivators had always been known for their powerful attacks.
The Sword Soul was the physique that all sword cultivators dreamed of.
With the Sword Soul, he could cultivate all kinds of cultivation techniques, spells, divine arts, or laws related to the Sword Dao. He was like a fish in water.
w.a.n.g Zhixing originally did not specialize in the Sword Dao, but because he had awakened the Sword Soul, he could only do that.
In the short span of a year, his Sword Dao cultivation improved.
The other people who had awakened Souls also saw a significant improvement in their cultivation level, like w.a.n.g Zhixing.
Although not everyone had awakened Souls, their spirit roots had improved, and their cultivation was naturally stronger than before.
Now, the original disciples had all reached the Golden Core Realm.
Because they didn’t have a cheat like Qin Chuan, after cultivating the Golden Core Realm, their cultivation speed instantly slowed down.
It couldn’t be helped. This was how cultivation was like. The higher one went, the more difficult it would be, and the slower one’s speed became.
It was common for people to go into seclusion for eight to ten years, but Qin Chuan did not allow them to do so.
Currently, even though the experimental subjects and awakened monsters had all been destroyed, there were still hidden dangers that could crush the world.
There were still countless Desolate Beasts sealed underground.
Desolate Beasts were terminators of spiritual energy. They could easily destroy cultivation environments.
Their existence constantly threatened this world.
In order to get rid of the hidden dangers completely, Qin Chuan sent his disciples to the Sealed Land to eliminate the Desolate Beasts.
The strength of a Desolate Beast was equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Its cultivation level was average, but there were many of them.
They would not be much of a threat to those sect disciples.
Additionally, these disciples could earn more combat experience in the process of killing these beasts.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan had offered one contribution point for every Desolate Beast killed.
Contribution points could be used to exchange for cultivation resources.
This greatly increased the enthusiasm of the disciples.
Now, the sect disciples had been training in the Sealed Land for nearly a year. They had wiped out tens of millions of Desolate Beasts.
Even so, the number of Desolate Beasts did not decrease.
After all, this was only one Sealed Land.
In this world, there were dozens of Sealed Lands.
This meant that it would take countless years to wipe out all the Desolate Beasts.
However, Qin Chuan wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, to cultivators, the more time pa.s.sed, the better.
The freshmen from Combat Faculty spent a few hours completing the consecration process.
Among them, eight of them had awakened their Souls, which gave Qin Chuan a lot of points. At the same time, they had also triggered an achievement called [30 Souls].
