Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 425: Twelve Palaces

…

Chenlongfeng Chongshan Academy.

When Xu Junming first opened Chongshan Academy, there was only a three-story archway and a dozen long and narrow bungalows similar to factory buildings.

But now, the simple and long and narrow bungalows are gone, replaced by beautiful and poetic buildings with different shapes, wood or stone, hidden among lush green flowers and plants of various colors.

Among the various buildings and guards, there is a magnificent palace that stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is built entirely of rocks and is more than ten feet high. It covers an area of ​​thousands of acres.

Each palace is larger than the Forbidden City in China, and there are twelve of them from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Passing through the tall archway with the four characters "Chongshan Academy" embossed on it, and walking up the wide mountain road, it didn't take long to reach another tall stone gate.

This stone gate is the ‘Human God Gate’.

According to the rules of Chongshan Academy, only those who can pass the Renshenmen can enter the main academy to study. No matter how outstanding your qualifications are, you will not be allowed to enter the main hospital.

In fact, the test of the Human God Gate is far inferior to that of the Earth God Gate. It mainly eliminates those who commit crimes and are insidious and cunning.

Go past the Renshen Gate, and then pass through a square with a width of twelve acres and four giant tripods placed there. In front of you is a hall similar to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Chinese capital, but taller.

‘Taishigong’

Three huge etched inscriptions are carved on the plaque and hang high above the entrance of the hall.

Taishi Palace is the first palace of Chongshan Academy. It is here to accept students admitted to the main academy, handle various chores, hold student conferences, and undertake tasks and transactions.

After passing Taishi Palace, the second palace is the Five Elements Palace.

All students who practice the Five Elements study here.

The five elements are the foundation of heaven and earth, and they are also the easiest avenue to practice. In the entire Chongshan Academy, 40% of the students practice the five avenues of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In the past, the Five Elements Palace was the Fenglei Palace, and in the past, the Fenglei Palace was the Taichi Palace.

As the name suggests, the Wind and Thunder Palace teaches the way of wind and thunder, as well as the palace pavilion extending from the two paths of wind and thunder, such as ice, wind, rain, fog and snow.

The Tai Chi Palace teaches Yin, Yang, and the avenues derived from Yin and Yang, such as Pure Yang, Xuanyin, Netherworld, and Reincarnation.

Behind the Taiji Palace is the Tiangong Palace, which teaches the three avenues of formation, alchemy, and weapon refining.

Behind the Tiangong Palace is the Creation Palace, which teaches the Tao of Creation, the cultivation of spiritual plants, the cultivation of spiritual beasts, and similar avenues.

Behind the Creation Palace is the Tianjian Palace, which teaches the way of swordsmanship.

Behind Tianjian Palace is the Martial Arts Palace, which teaches martial arts and the military arts that extend from martial arts.

Behind the Martial Palace is the Hunyuan Palace, which teaches the twelve great ways of illusion, beast control, sealing, sound, law, and cause and effect.

Behind the Hunyuan Palace is the Divine Soul Palace, which teaches the Divine Soul Taoism, as well as branch Taoism including puppetry and degree transformation.

Behind the Divine Soul Palace is the Divine Palace, which teaches the way of believing in Shinto and the way of fighting.

Behind the Divine Palace is the Ming Palace, which teaches the methods of destiny such as Ziwei Dou Shu, Liu Ren Shen Ke, Qi Men Dun Jia, and astrology.

The last palace is called the Palace of the Universe, where the universe is time and the universe is space. What this last palace teaches is the unity of time and space.

It can be seen that the eleven palaces are getting more and more difficult from front to back.

Especially in the Life Palace and the Universe Palace, except for Xu Junming's puppet body as a teacher, there is currently no student who can share the burden for him.

Behind the twelve palaces is the top of Chenlong Peak, where a tall stone gate stands, with the words "Di Shen Gate" shining brightly on the beam.

Since it was placed here, no one in the entire Chongshan Academy has been able to pass its test.

Xu Junming walked into Taishi Palace. There were not many people coming and going here. After all, the most important thing for monks is cultivation. Except for class time or if they want to earn cultivation resources, they rarely come here.

There is a long table on the right side of the palace gate. Behind it, a middle-aged monk wearing a blue robe is holding a white jade slip and looking at it with gusto.

Hearing the footsteps, Qiu Yun subconsciously turned his head and looked. It didn't matter. His face changed, and his buttocks jumped up from his seat.

He ran over in a hurry and bowed to salute.

"Qiu Yun has met the dean."

Xu Junming nodded slightly, "Are you on duty in Taishi Palace today?"

"Exactly the disciple."

"I met the dean."

"Meet the dean."

The disciples who had entered around him quickly came forward to pay their respects.

After nodding one by one, Xu Junming said: "Qiu Yun?"

"The disciple is here."

"The golden bell rings three times, summon all the disciples to gather in the middle hall of Taishi Palace."

"yes!"

Xu Junming disappeared in a flash.

Qiu Yun stood up and ran towards the bell tower on the east side of Taishi Palace.

According to the rules of Chongshan Academy, the three ringing of the golden bell is the signal to summon the disciples. Unless they are practicing in seclusion, everyone who hears the bell must immediately rush to the middle hall of Taishi Palace to gather.

There are also six and nine-ring golden bells.

The six rings are to summon all disciples. No matter what you are doing, even if you are in seclusion, you must leave the seclusion immediately and rush to the middle hall of Taishi Palace to do the Taoist ritual.

The nine rings are a taboo. Once they are rung, it means that Chongshan Academy is at its most dangerous time, and everyone must fight to protect Chongshan Academy.

"Dong dong dong...!"

The mighty sound waves enveloped the entire Chenlong Peak.

In an instant, hundreds of rays of light flew out from various buildings around Chenlong Peak, heading straight towards the middle hall of Taishi Palace.

The middle hall of Taishi Palace is the largest hall in Chongshan Academy.

Blessed with Hutian Taoism, it is as big as hundreds of football fields.

The majestic palace was illuminated by one hundred and eight luminous pearls.

On the broad lotus seat in the middle, Xu Junming sat cross-legged.

On the twelve small lotus pedestals below are his puppet Dharmakayas responsible for guarding twelve palaces including Taishi Palace, Five Elements Palace, Fenglei Palace, and Taiji Palace.

Below the lotus platform are countless futons, and figures flying in one by one sit down according to the time of enrollment and cultivation level.

After a while, 372 people were seated.

These 372 people are all golden elixir monks, but that's not all. There are some golden elixir monks who serve as teachers in the upper courtyard of Chongshan Academy in the Twelve Prefectures, but they are not here.

In addition, it is part of being in seclusion or traveling outside.

Nearly fifty years have passed since Xiajiang City took over the first batch of orphans. Chongshan Academy has trained about 500 Jindan monks.

It sounds like a lot, but considering the population of nearly 10 million in Taishi Cave, this number is actually very low.

Only one golden elixir appears in almost 20,000 people.

This shows how difficult it is to practice.

Especially the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation has blocked too many monks who want to go further.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivator, there is not one yet.

The ones with the highest cultivation level among them have reached the golden elixir perfection, but they are afraid of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation and will not go through it until they are completely sure.

"I'll wait to see the dean!"

The loud voice resounded throughout the hall.

Xu Junming, who was sitting high on the lotus platform, looked at the disciples bowing and saluting below. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart.

Although his greatest ambition is to become an immortal and become an ancestor, he does not mind starting a sect in the process and making his disciples spread all over the world.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Dean!"

"Dragon Kingdom Chapter!"

A high-spirited man in a brocade robe stood up from the futon.

"Chen Ping!"

A short, thin man with a serious appearance stood up.

"Murong Xue."

This time it was a beautiful woman wearing a purple dress.

"In the past ten years, the three of you have been in charge of the upper courts of Qingzhou Prefecture, Longquan Prefecture, and Xingyuan Prefecture, and have trained thirty-seven Jindan Realm talents for the main courtyard. During your tenure, the education in the three prefectures has flourished, and taxes and taxes have been paid. The top three are indispensable. Today, I will give you the magic weapon according to the preface."

The faces of the three people instantly showed joy.

Isn't it just for this moment that I have worked so hard to build the three newly opened marginal mansions of Qingzhou Mansion, Longquan Mansion and Xingyuan Mansion into prosperous places.

"Dragon Kingdom Zhang, I will give you a top-grade magic weapon, the Red Flame Spiritual Flag, thirty-six pills of three yellow pills, and you will be allowed to study in the Sutra Pavilion of the Five Elements Palace for half a year."

With a wave of his hand, the spiritual flag, the porcelain bottle containing the elixir and the passage token flew down.

After quickly catching it with both hands, Long Guozhang bowed excitedly and saluted.

"Thank you, Dean."

"Chen Ping, I will give you a medium-grade magical weapon, the Thunder God's Hammer, and thirty-six pills of three yellow pills. You can enter the Sutra Pavilion of Fenglei Palace to study for three months."

Although he is not as good as Long Guozhang, Chen Ping also knows that his achievements are not as good as his opponent's, so he has no complaints.

"Murong Xue, I will give you the middle-grade magical treasure Xuanyin Slips, thirty-six pills of three yellow pills, which is like a month of meditation in the Sutra Pavilion of Taiji Palace."

"Thank you, Dean, for the treasure."

"I hope you three will practice well and make new achievements."

"Yes, I will remember the dean's teachings, practice hard, and make new achievements."

Hundreds of pairs of envious eyes looked at the three of them.

Seeing it in his eyes, Xu Junming, who had already planned it, waved his hand, and light flowed out of his sleeve like waves.

It seemed to be endless, and it took a full quarter of an hour before it stopped.

Looking at the densely packed, auspicious and brilliant treasures at the top of the hall, everyone except Xu Junming was stunned.

‘Gudu’, countless swallowing sounds sounded.

"So many magic weapons!"

"Yeah, a lot!"

No one except Xu Junming had ever seen the sight of thousands of magic weapons, spiritual weapons and magical hedgehogs gathered together.

A total of 100,000 magic weapons of different grades, nearly 10,000 spiritual weapons, and nearly 1,000 magic weapons were all that Xu Junming obtained after destroying hundreds of thousands of Longjiang Shui tribe's demon army.

In addition to these, there are millions of pills of various grades.

There are nearly tens of millions of elixirs and spiritual roots of different grades.

The Longjiang Aquatic Tribe has accumulated tens of thousands of years of heritage, which is unimaginably rich.

Even though he has left the best part of it, the rest is still terrifyingly rich.

Compared to the Black Heart Demon Sect, the Dragon Clan is worthy of its reputation as a treasure trove.

Even if they are just a group of pseudo-dragons, the amount of treasures they collect is still staggering!
