In the following days, Ye Xuan devoted all his time to the academy.
Currently, the Guanxuan Academy had over three hundred mentors and more than ten thousand students!
All were carefully selected!
Of course, he didn’t only choose geniuses. Like in the Small Guan Universe, ordinary people were also selected, but there was a vetting process.
You could be ordinary, but your character and integrity had to pass muster!
As time went on, the vetting became stricter!
Moreover, the Guanxuan Academy had an elimination system!
Every month, there were literary and martial competitions, and those who ranked at the bottom were eliminated!
Thus, once admitted to the academy, the students worked extremely hard, because the academy’s benefits were truly exceptional!
Inside the Guanxuan Hall, Ye Xuan was listening to Xiao Rong’s work report.
During this period, Xiao Rong had been responsible for all academy affairs, so she had to report to Ye Xuan daily about the academy’s operations.
After a long while, Xiao Rong looked up at Ye Xuan, “Right now, I’m not short of manpower, but I’m short of money! The expenses for an academy are massive, just massive! You need to give me money, or I’m done for!”
Ye Xuan said, “Go to the Tianbao Chamber!”
Xiao Rong hesitated, then asked, “Will they give it?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “They probably wouldn’t dare not to!”
Xiao Rong blinked, “Alright!”
With that, she left!
In the hall, Ye Xuan glanced at the mountain of scrolls before him, shaking his head with a sigh.
Handling such miscellaneous tasks was truly not his forte!
At that moment, he genuinely missed Qingqiu and Aunt Ding!
When they were around, he didn’t need to deal with these matters at all. Every day was just about hanging out and wandering!
Wandering!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly!
He suddenly thought of someone!
The Boundless Master!
That guy hadn’t shown up in ages!
He wondered if, upon meeting him now, he could beat him up!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, then entered the small tower!
Inside the small tower, the Strategy God and the other two gods were still studying the mysterious spacetime. During this time, the three gods had been in the small tower every day, researching this spacetime, almost obsessed!
Ye Xuan didn’t disturb them. He had already made up his mind!
If these three gods discovered something, they would definitely share it with him, and he could reap the benefits!
Ye Xuan found the Upper Ancient God, “Senior, I have a question!”
The Upper Ancient God quickly said, “Young Master Ye, please speak!”
Now, he respected Ye Xuan even more!
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Senior, do you know much about the Shepherd God?”
The Shepherd God!
The Upper Ancient God hesitated, then said, “Are you planning to conquer the Shepherd Heaven Realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The Upper Ancient God was silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t know much, but I can confirm he is the strongest among the six of us, and he was the one who saved the Mulberry God!”
Ye Xuan murmured softly, “You don’t know much either!”
The Upper Ancient God nodded, “Yes! Oh, right! I know he comes from the Ancient Domain!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “The Ancient Domain?”
The Upper Ancient God said gravely, “Yes! There is a super-powerful Ancient Empire there. That force is extremely strong, especially their Ancient Spirit Cavalry, simply terrifying!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “What level are you at there?”
The Upper Ancient God thought for a moment, then said, “We are top-tier there, but not super top-tier!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Understood!”
The Upper Ancient God glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Young Master Ye, is your sister from the Ancient Domain?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “No!”
Hearing this, the Upper Ancient God frowned, “Then she is…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “From a very distant place!”
The Upper Ancient God sighed softly, “Young Master Ye, you don’t know how terrifying this spacetime is! It completely surpasses our understanding, truly… sigh! There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Take it slow. Look, I’m not in a rush!”
The Upper Ancient God fell silent.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Can you help me contact the Shepherd God? I’d like to have a chat with him!”
The Upper Ancient God hesitated, then said, “I’ll try!”
With that, he and Ye Xuan left the small tower.
Outside, the Upper Ancient God slowly closed his eyes. Soon, a divine eye appeared between his brows, scanning the heavens. After a long while, the Upper Ancient God suddenly said, “He’s in the Shepherd Heaven Realm!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s go!”
With that, he and the Upper Ancient God vanished from the spot!
Shepherd Heaven Realm.
Ye Xuan and the Upper Ancient God arrived directly at the Shepherd Heaven Temple. No one stopped them along the way!
Upon entering the Shepherd Heaven Temple, a middle-aged man appeared before them!
The Upper Ancient God glanced at the Shepherd God without speaking.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Shepherd God, I’ve long heard of your fame!”
The Shepherd God glanced at Ye Xuan, then smiled, “Young Master Ye, I’m rather curious how you convinced those three to follow you. Truly curious!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Simple. Shepherd God, come with me to a place, and you’ll understand!”
With that, he brought the Shepherd God into the small tower. The moment they entered, the Shepherd God’s expression changed instantly!
After a long while, the Shepherd God murmured softly, “I understand!”
Ye Xuan looked at the Shepherd God, “Senior, I came to talk with you!”
The Shepherd God smiled, “You hope I’ll join the Guanxuan Academy?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “That would be ideal!”
The Shepherd God fell silent.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Senior Shepherd God, it would be great if you could join the Guanxuan Academy. If not, that’s fine too, but I hope the Shepherd Heaven Realm can open up to the Guanxuan Academy!”
The Shepherd God shook his head with a smile, “That’s an even tougher move!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “You give up some things, but you can gain better ones!”
The Shepherd God fell silent.
As Ye Xuan said, the Upper Ancient God and the others gave up the Heavenly Division Realm, but in return, they gained something better: the chance to explore the spacetime in the small tower. Moreover, exploring within the small tower meant time flowed differently from the outside world!
This was why the Upper Ancient God and the others were willing!
Ye Xuan looked at the Shepherd God, “What do you think, Senior?”
The Shepherd God smiled faintly, “Can I make one small request?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Speak!”
The Shepherd God said gravely, “Spare the Mulberry God!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “That’s a small matter!”
The Shepherd God nodded slightly, “Thank you!”
Ye Xuan’s lips curled up slightly. With this, the entire Heavenly Division Realm would be under the Guanxuan Academy’s rule!
After leaving the small tower, Ye Xuan immediately sent Xiao Rong to take over the Heavenly Division Realm!
The four gods were very generous. The temples they once ruled would now fully obey the Guanxuan Academy!
After all, Ye Xuan had given them something better, and they no longer cared much for external faith power!
Ye Xuan had Xiao Rong select true talents from these temples to manage the academy.
For the Guanxuan Academy now, the goal was to absorb all the forces of the six gods. With this, the Guanxuan Academy became the most powerful force in the Heavenly Division Realm!
Not long after, Ye Xuan noticed that the growth rate of his faith power had increased!
If this continued, he would gain even more faith power!
Looking at his faith power, Ye Xuan felt a bit emotional. Although Xiao Bi had told him not to rely too heavily on faith power, he had to admit, it was incredibly powerful. Without it, his strength would drop by at least forty percent!
Of course, as long as he didn’t act recklessly and the faith of the beings in the Guanxuan Universe didn’t collapse, his faith power would persist!
After handing all academy matters to Xiao Rong, Ye Xuan prepared to venture into the Ancient Domain.
Because the Ancient Domain was larger!
He set off immediately!
Ye Xuan left the Heavenly Division Realm and headed for the Ancient Domain.
…
After Ye Xuan’s departure, Xiao Rong was in charge of the entire Guanxuan Academy, making her undoubtedly the most powerful person in the Heavenly Division Realm!
At the hall’s entrance, Xiao Rong looked at the horizon, feeling as if in a dream!
She had originally fled an arranged marriage and left the Heavenly Division Realm, never expecting to meet Ye Xuan. After returning triumphantly with him, by a twist of fate, Ye Xuan overthrew the six gods, and now she had become the most powerful person in the Heavenly Division Realm!
How little time had passed!
At that moment, a young man approached Xiao Rong, bowing slightly, “Headmaster, your family has sent someone…”
Hearing this, Xiao Rong frowned. After a moment, she shook her head, “Tell them I’m busy!”
With that, she turned and left.
Before leaving, Ye Xuan had specifically instructed her not to engage in nepotism. She naturally took his words to heart, because she could sense that, while Ye Xuan seemed easygoing, the premise was not to break the rules!
For this hard-earned opportunity, she was determined to seize it. This was her chance to change her destiny!
…
After leaving the Heavenly Division Realm, Ye Xuan ventured into the vast starry sky. Following the map provided by the Shepherd God, he tore through spacetime, traversing it!
His destination: the Ancient Domain!
On the way, Xiao Bi suddenly said, “Do you remember what I told you before?”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “What?”
Xiao Bi said gravely, “The master wrote two books. The Cosmic Book is one, and the other is the Primordial Book!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Is the Primordial Book also a cultivation method?”
Xiao Bi said, “Yes! And it’s extremely powerful! Most importantly, this Primordial Book can enhance your faith power!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned, “It can enhance my faith power?”
Xiao Bi said, “When the master founded the Dao Sect, he also had faith power, though he didn’t care much for it. Still, he created a cultivation method for it, the Primordial Book!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Where is it?”
Xiao Bi said, “It should be in the place you’re heading to!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “The Ancient Domain?”
Xiao Bi said, “Possibly, because I sensed a trace of its aura!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You can sense its aura?”
Xiao Bi said, “Naturally. After all, it was written by the master using me!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head. Not far to his right, spacetime split open, and a figure slowly walked out!
Seeing the newcomer, Ye Xuan was stunned, then exclaimed in shock, “What the hell?”
