Changlin Academy is so popular not only because of its own strength and careful guidance, but the Five Great Opportunity Lands and the chance to enter Changling Main Court are the biggest attractions for many students.

However, one of the greatest temptations, the Five Great Opportunity Lands, has encountered problems, making some students who lack confidence in entering Changling Main Court nervous.

At this moment, a piece of news rapidly spread throughout Changlin Academy.

This news seems to be the final straw that dashed the hopes of many students, causing them to approach their mentors, demanding the academy provide an explanation, a definitive interpretation of the current changes in the Five Great Opportunity Lands.

"Have you heard? The Dao treasures of the Five Great Opportunity Lands seem to be really dissipating!"

"Is it true? I came here just for this!"

"Might be false? The academy has been established for so many years, can it really not preserve these Dao treasures?"

"What are Dao treasures? They are Exotic Treasures of heaven and earth, not something that can be preserved just by saying so!"

"No, let's go to the instructors!"

Some students couldn't stand the rumors and rushed to the instructors' quarters.

Among them, the majority were new students who had joined the academy; their sense of belonging to the academy was not very strong, so they tended to consider matters from their own perspective, while some older students did not get involved in this matter, continuing to cultivate and execute tasks.

"Cang Qiong, Ye Ming, have you found the source?"

At the Summit of South Maniac Mountain, Li Yukun frowned as he looked at Jian Cangqiong and Dao Yeming who had just returned.

The two shook their heads with somber expressions, and Jian Cangqiong said gravely: "It seems this matter is inseparable from Elder Lu's faction, but disciples from Punishment Hall have been monitoring them closely without noticing any anomalies."

"So, it's highly possible that Elder Lu's faction has infiltrated not just his own sect?"

Sang Zhenye's eyes revealed a hint of icy killing intent.

"You can't say that for sure; maybe the students themselves are just worried, and rumors are not always accurate!"

Jian Cangqiong subtly shook his head.

"No matter what, this issue must be stopped!"

Li Yukun said solemnly, looking seriously at Jian Cangqiong: "This could be the greatest tribulation the academy has faced since it was founded, apart from a century ago!"

"I think this is actually a good thing!"

A shout suddenly echoed, causing everyone to be slightly stunned, as they collectively glanced towards Jiang Chen's wooden cabin.

Crack!

The door of the cabin opened, and Jiang Chen completed his cultivation and stepped out.

"Young Jiang, you've finished cultivating?"

Hu Yiqiu instantly leapt to Jiang Chen's side.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, clasping his fists to Hu Yiqiu and the others with a gesture of respect.

"Jiang Chen, I understand your meaning."

Jian Cangqiong said softly: "You mean this will help determine who is truly sincere to the academy and who lacks a sense of belonging, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded gently.

Jian Cangqiong smiled slightly, shook his head lightly: "Jiang Chen, witnessing you make a mistake for the first time! But it's not your fault; although you've run academies before, the circumstances there were quite unique."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"The Five Great Opportunity Lands are a significant reason for attracting students to the academy, and they are also the greatest chance Changlin Academy can offer its students."

Jian Cangqiong patiently explained: "In this Void Nether, anyone's sense of belonging, except for bloodline families, needs to be tied to benefits. If the academy cannot provide benefits to its students, it's unlikely to foster a sense of belonging among them."

"In the war years ago, Changlin Academy's treasure pavilion, scripture pavilion, elixir medicine pavilion, task hall, etc., were all severely damaged, with many cultivation techniques, combat skills, elixirs, and spiritual artifacts lost!"

"Now, apart from people, the academy's foundation is almost solely the Five Great Opportunity Lands; other things might not even compare to those of some clans with thousands of years of heritage."

"And in this Mingqian Realm, how many thousands-of-years-old families or sects there are! Without the Five Great Opportunity Lands, it would be a heavy blow for the academy, making it very difficult to recruit new students in the future!"

"This..."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes as he clasped his fists: "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's not your fault!"

Jian Cangqiong laughed lightly: "You are a student of the academy; allowing you to cultivate in the Dao treasure secret realm is a reward given by the academy. You didn't mess around; you just focused on cultivation, so this matter isn't your fault. Moreover... the Power of the Great Dao in the Opportunity Lands will recover; it just requires a little over a year."

With that, Jian Cangqiong continued expectantly: "If you feel guilty, then strive harder, aim to take the top spot as the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage in the entrance competition of the main court. This way, the academy will gain a larger share, and you can help secure more resources and Dao treasure energy for the academy!"

"Dao treasure energy?"

Jiang Chen paused, looking at Jian Cangqiong in surprise.

"It's like this, the academy's Dao treasures are..."

Jian Cangqiong explained the truth about the academy's Dao treasures, then detailed the rules and rewards of the main court's entrance competition.

"I understand, I will do my best!"

Jiang Chen nodded heavily, his eyes revealing a determined look of assurance.

"Great!"

Jian Cangqiong showed a gratified smile.

"Mr Jiang, do you have any doubts about the Wood Path? I can answer them for you!"

Seeing Jian Cangqiong and the others finish talking, Li Yukun eagerly spoke.

"For the Fire Path, you can come to me!"

"The Path of Ice, I'm competent!"

Sang Zhenye and Wu Xianxia spoke one after the other, staring directly at Jiang Chen.

"Cough! If you want to know about the Sword Dao or the different Golden Path, I can help too."

"Different Way of Water works too; knowing more can only help!"

Dao Yeming and Li Qingzhu spoke nervously.

"Jiang Chen, you probably have many questions about the Sword Dao? Elder Wine's Sword Dao originates from the intoxication path, and since you don't drink, you must have many questions in Sword Dao cultivation. I can help answer them!"

Jian Cangqiong responded, looking intensely at Jiang Chen.

As Li Yukun spoke, Jiang Chen was delighted, ready to ask for guidance, but the others spoke one after another, leaving him bewildered.

Glancing at everyone, Jiang Chen looked bizarrely at Hu Yiqiu, who was grinning foolishly to the side.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Hu Yiqiu had a disdainful expression, casting a side glance at Jian Cangqiong and the others, then turning to Jiang Chen with a dismissive look: "Young Jiang, don't let this bunch fool you; they have no good intentions. They want you to acknowledge them as mentors, which is why they're so eager to share their Great Dao Comprehension. If you don't like it, you can refuse; no problem, as long as the old man is around, no one can force you!"

Jian Cangqiong and the others glared furiously at Hu Yiqiu, then turned to look nervously at Jiang Chen.
