I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 600: Saint Academy

The atmosphere at Wendao Academy was exceptionally vibrant on this particular day.

To honor the academy's achievement in securing the first rank during the Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition, the Dean personally presided over a grand celebratory festival.

Cao Youqian, having dominated the gathered elite, was naturally the primary focus of the event.

One after another, every high-level cultivator within Wendao Academy approached to offer a toast to Cao Youqian.

The various elders of the Cao family boasted to anyone within earshot: "You old rascal, how could you have guessed that my family's Great Qian would suppress all the geniuses of this generation?"

Under normal circumstances, people would have been irritated by the blatant thick-skinned boasting of the Cao elders.

Today, however, no one took offense; instead, they joined in, showering Cao Youqian with praise.

This lack of resistance actually left the Cao family elders feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Chu Feng stood as the other central figure of the celebration.

His reputation stemmed not only from defeating several seniors during the Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition but also from his success in mentoring a group of top-tier prodigies.

Every Elder who came to toast him did their best to curry favor, whether subtly or overtly.

It was widely speculated that Chu Feng might soon ascend to the position of Dean of Wendao Academy.

If they didn't build a connection now, they might lose the opportunity entirely in the future.

The festivities continued until the deep hours of the night before finally concluding.

As the banquet dispersed, Chu Feng felt a sense of relief he hadn't experienced in a long time; he found the demands of social etiquette to be truly exhausting.

While he appreciated fine wine and enjoyment, he had little patience for the hollow formalities of polite society.

With the conclusion of the Ten Holy Lands Grand Competition, the students of Wendao Academy transitioned back to their regular routines.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng began organizing his departure for the Hongyuan Continent.

He was never one to enter a conflict without preparation, so he spent these days gathering intelligence regarding his destination.

Upon analyzing the data, Chu Feng realized that the Hongyuan Continent shared similarities with the Honghuang Continent from his previous life's memories.

It was an era where a hundred clans struggled for dominance, and the human race had yet to achieve a position of power.

For Chu Feng, this was an ideal scenario.

The fact that humanity had not yet risen meant that heaven-sent human geniuses were likely on the verge of appearing.

He only needed to locate these prodigies and provide them with a bit of Cultivation guidance to secure an easy victory.

He found this prospect quite appealing.

Six months later, Chu Feng’s official orders arrived: he was to travel to the Hongyuan Continent to establish a branch of the Wendao Academy, or perhaps a Wendao Sect.

In addition to various Cultivation resources, he was granted the Dean’s Token and a Great Emperor statue.

The Dean’s Token was imbued with a single strike from a Great Emperor; furthermore, it could be used in dire situations to rift through the void and flee back to their home world.

A Saint is a pillar of any Holy Land; the loss of such a figure would be a devastating blow to the Sect.

As for the Great Emperor statue, it served to anchor providence and luck, while also being capable of activation to strike down enemies if necessary.

Examining the treasures within his storage ring, Chu Feng whispered to himself, "I didn't realize the leadership of Wendao Academy followed such a cautious and steady philosophy."

He began to feel a genuine sense of anticipation regarding the founding of a Sect on the Hongyuan Continent.

After bidding his farewells, Chu Feng took his two disciples, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, to the Sect's teleportation array to depart for the Saint Academy.

The Saint Academy served as the heart of Wendao Academy and acted as the gateway to various peripheral worlds.

Once the momentary darkness faded from his vision, Chu Feng and his disciples arrived in a location saturated with dense spiritual Qi.

They had barely stepped away from the array when a familiar silhouette appeared before them.

Recognizing the figure, Cao Youqian’s face lit up with excitement as he cried out, "Ancestor!"

The newcomer was none other than Great Worthy Xuanhuo.

Though decades had passed since their last meeting, Great Worthy Xuanhuo looked much the same, though his previous aura of authority had been replaced by a more ethereal, transcendent Daoist presence.

Great Worthy Xuanhuo smiled at Cao Youqian and remarked, "Great Qian, you have truly matured since I last saw you.

Word of your deeds has reached me. I suspect that even I, your ancestor, might no longer be a match for you."

"Ancestor, why would you say such a thing?"

Feeling flustered by the compliment, Cao Youqian rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Ancestor, please don't tease me. I wouldn't dream of raising a hand against you."

After the brief family reunion, Great Worthy Xuanhuo turned his attention to Chu Feng and gave a respectful bow. "I must thank Saint Qiankun for mentoring my grandson. It is thanks to you that he has achieved such heights.

Placing this boy under your guidance was undoubtedly the wisest choice I have ever made."

Chu Feng offered a polite smile. "Fellow Daoist Xuanhuo, you give me too much credit.

Great Qian simply had a unique path for his talents. His current success is a result of his own hard work."

Great Worthy Xuanhuo responded with a polite, if slightly strained, smile.

He remembered exactly what kind of troublemaker his grandson had been before joining Chu Feng’s tutelage.

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun, there is no need for such modesty.

Allow me to escort you to meet the Dean of the Saint Academy, who is also the God King of our Wendao Academy."

"I appreciate the assistance."

Chu Feng followed Great Worthy Xuanhuo as they moved further into the academy grounds.

The surrounding landscape was breathtaking, draped in floating mists of Qi that made the area feel like a true immortal realm.

After walking for some time, Great Worthy Xuanhuo paused and turned back to Chu Feng. "The Saint Palace is just ahead. I must ask you to wait here for a moment."

"Very well," Chu Feng replied, standing calmly.

He remained composed, refraining from restless movement or prying eyes.

Shortly after, a powerful, echoing voice resonated from within the Saint Palace.

"Summoning Saint Qiankun and the two Saint Sons for an audience."
