Now, he has also become a distinguished guest of Dean Zheng.

And amid the online buzz.

He replaced the Southern Emperor.

Regarding this.

Lu Yuan, of course, was unaware. After entering the room.

Dean Zheng immediately rose to greet him: "Mr. Lu, are you comfortable with your stay these few days?"

"Not bad."

Lu Yuan replied. Being in seclusion for ten days without disturbance was obviously arranged in advance by them.

Setting aside other things, just this attitude alone proves a lot.

"That's good."

Dean Zheng nodded: "This time, I'll get straight to the point. I'm unsure if Mr. Lu is interested in visiting Ancient Shu Mountain?"

Has Ancient Shu Mountain emerged?

Upon hearing this.

Lu Yuan was a bit surprised, but considering the timeline, it's about right.

However, he chose not to respond, awaiting the other party to explain.

Dean Zheng indeed did not waste words.

He explained the reasons and consequences.

It turns out that after Ancient Shu Mountain emerged, the authorities and Zhen Dan Academy swiftly took over.

They also showcased a strong stance and military might, deterring any covetous eyes.

But soon they discovered that inside Ancient Shu Mountain, there were no Spirit Fruits or Exotic Herbs, just a peculiar Sword Mountain.

Within it, there were a total of ninety-nine gigantic Sword Steles. Upon research, it was found that each Sword Stele contained some ancient inheritance, ranging from Visualization Technique and Breathing Technique to some Divine Techniques, and even some lost Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts.

More importantly, the higher up the Sword Stele, the stronger the creation contained within.

One might say that comprehending them would bring great benefits.

This should have been a cause for celebration.

Zhen Dan Academy would thus greatly increase in strength, at least having more options for cultivating students.

But the problem is, to comprehend the creation within the Sword Steles requires extremely high talent and comprehension.

Thus, under the guidance of the authorities, they sought out some teachers from the academy.

Even some old Daoist came out of seclusion to try and comprehend them.

But it was challenging.

Because sometimes, great strength does not necessarily equate to high talent and comprehension.

After several days, only a few inheritances were obtained, and they weren't very powerful, some were even inferior to the Breathing Technique and Visualization Technique the academy already possessed.

Moreover, they found out that during the comprehension process, it consumes a lot of energy.

If one cannot sustain it midway, they would fall out of that state.

It also had some effects on the body.

Though not significant.

But if they want to continue comprehending, they find they cannot.

This means each person only has one chance to comprehend each Sword Stele.

"In the end, did you decide to temporarily open Ancient Shu Mountain and widely invite Awakened from all around the world to enter the mountain and comprehend the creation within the Sword Steles?" Lu Yuan said with a smile upon hearing this.

Even though he was in seclusion and didn't know outside news, he still knew about these things.

He also knew that the comprehension of the Ancient Shu Mountain Sword Stele inheritance has its limitations.

But it's not that everyone has only one chance in a lifetime.

It's once every three years.

However, Lu Yuan didn't mention this, as Zhen Dan Academy would eventually be known to all.

"Indeed, talking with Mr. Lu is straightforward."

Dean Zheng smiled, "After the mutation, some Awakened don't have powerful bloodline awakening, but have extremely high comprehension."

"We are adopting a wide-net approach, using quantity to accumulate and comprehend the Sword Stele inheritance as much as possible."

"Of course, there are conditions. Any creation comprehended must be turned in."

The aim of Zhen Dan Academy is those creations.

They are naturally not going to give them away for free.

Their plan is to use these inherited creations to educate students.

As for Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs, because of the official background, obtaining them isn't too difficult.

Especially as the mutations deepen, these things will also become more abundant.

The key is.

Inheritance like the Breathing Technique and Visualization Technique are rare even for large powers, let alone Zhen Dan Academy.

They are one of the fundamental strengths of an Awakened, something that cannot be overlooked.

Just like schools in the old days.

If you want to teach students well, you must first have textbooks, right?

Moreover, with these inherited creations, recruiting students in the future will be easier.

"Zhen Dan Academy's plan is good, it really is a smart approach," Lu Yuan complimented appropriately.

In his memory.

Later, Zhen Dan Academy gradually became stronger, which also had a lot to do with the emergence of Ancient Shu Mountain.

"Mr. Lu, you jest." Dean Zheng contemplated for a moment and then said, "Of course, since I invited Mr. Lu personally, if you comprehend anything from the Shu Mountain Sword Steles, I can make the decision that you don't have to turn it over to Zhen Dan Academy."

He thought simply, comprehending the inheritance of the Ancient Shu Mountain Sword Stele is very challenging.

Lu Yuan is indeed powerful, but power doesn't equate to high comprehension.

Fine!

Even if he has high comprehension, he only has one chance.

Could he possibly comprehend the strongest one with this single opportunity?

How could that be possible?

The ninety-nine steles, each one is several times harder to comprehend than the previous one, the strongest Sword Stele's creation hasn't even been thought possible to comprehend by anyone at this stage.

"Oh?"

"Is Dean Zheng serious about this?"

Hearing he doesn't have to turn it over, Lu Yuan's eyes brightened immediately.

In fact.

Among the Sword Stele inheritances, there is indeed an incredibly powerful Sword Dao Divine Technique.

It happens to be compatible with the Daluo Sword Embryo, which he thought of when he heard about the emergence of Ancient Shu Mountain.

Originally, he was pondering.

How to bypass the authorities and Zhen Dan Academy to comprehend in secret.

Unexpectedly, Dean Zheng offered him the option not to turn it over.

Isn't that convenient?

Saves him the trouble.

"Ah."

Dean Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I'm serious."

However, his response was a bit insincere, especially after seeing Lu Yuan's expression.

It reminded him.

Of the scene a few days ago when he gifted the Hidden Dragon Red Fruit.

He suddenly wondered if he was digging a pit for himself again?

But immediately after.

Dean Zheng considered it unlikely.

The difficulty in comprehending the Sword Stele inheritance is derived from meticulous research, it cannot be wrong.

Also, the words had already been spoken; taking them back would seem petty.

So his face immediately broke into a smile.

Then he heavily added a sentence.

"I mean it."

"Then thank you for your kindness, Dean Zheng."

Lu Yuan clearly understood what was on the other party's mind, but outwardly, he remained calm and collected.

Kidding, with the fusion of the Ancient Bodhi Tree and multiplied talent by billions.

In terms of raw power.

He doesn't dare claim global invincibility.

But in terms of comprehension, no one in the world can compare!

However, this means the plan to go to Qinling will have to be postponed again, but that's alright, there's still plenty of time.

"Alright, Mr. Lu, prepare yourself. We will depart in three days, and there will be arrangements for transportation." At this time, Dean Zheng spoke, informing him of the time to head to Ancient Shu Mountain, which had already been arranged.

Afterwards, the two discussed some specific plans, as well as some miscellaneous matters.

Such as outer world changes, and various news.

When Lu Yuan heard.

That he replaced the Southern Emperor online, becoming one of the Five Great Venerables.

And received the title 'Human Emperor', he was momentarily stunned.

He wasn't interested in these things.

Just playing pretend.

Yet the title of Human Emperor was quite significant.

Quite significant.

It's something only common people would casually name someone.

"By the way."

As he was about to leave, Dean Zheng suddenly spoke: "The Longevity Gene has been very quiet and mysterious lately. Also, Wu Zhou's Winged Celestial God has emerged from retreat, reaching the Awakening Realm, claiming to have fully activated the mysterious bloodline within, elevating his power further."

He said these things as a reminder for Lu Yuan to be cautious.

At the conflict outside the Imperial Mausoleum back then, he was present and knew that the Winged Celestial God wouldn't let it go easily.

Then there's the Longevity Gene issue, which is too abnormal, and there's definitely something wrong there.

Worried that Lu Yuan might suffer a setback.

"Thank you, I'm aware."

Lu Yuan nodded. Regardless of the intent, it was concern, and a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.
