Another Path

After Ye Qingchen left the office, he had no idea that the dean of Shrek Academy had made arrangements for him. On his way back to the classroom, he asked the system about it.

"System, what exactly is this perverted improved version of One Qi, Three Purities? Is it a cultivation method?" Ye Qingchen asked in confusion.

Host, this cultivation method could originally create three incarnations with different minds. However, after my modifications, it can only create one incarnation, and it is a one-time use.

"You cut it from three incarnations down to one, and it's even one-time use. Should I be praising you?" Ye Qingchen said irritably.

Don't worry, Host. Although only one incarnation remains, you can choose its innate talents and constitution yourself, then send it to cultivate in another world. Once your incarnation reaches the peak of that world, it can return to your main body. Furthermore, that incarnation will never betray you. In the end, that incarnation is you.

"I see. It's like two versions of me cultivating at the same time. When the incarnation returns to the main body, our cultivation levels will be added together. There are so many benefits." Ye Qingchen clapped his hands and exclaimed in praise.

"System, use the secret method to construct an incarnated image of me in the System Space," Ye Qingchen said.

Construction in progress.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, someone who looked ninety percent like Ye Qingchen appeared within the System Space.

Construction successful. Please choose the constitution and talents.

"Can I choose anything?" Ye Qingchen asked.

Yes. There is only what you cannot imagine, not what I cannot accomplish.

"Choose the Eternal Undying Body for the constitution, comprehension for the talent, the Other Transformation Freedom Method and Undying Heavenly Art for the cultivation methods, and Chaos Demon God for the bloodline. As for luck, max it out, or I might easily die," Ye Qingchen said after thinking it over.

Addition successful.

"I'm lacking a suitable weapon, preferably one that fears no karma. Right, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, like the God Slaying Spear, fears no karma. Give the Primordial Measuring Ruler to my incarnation," Ye Qingchen said.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler has successfully been bound to the incarnation.

"System, if you send my incarnation to the Prehistoric World, will his current combat power be enough for self-preservation?" Ye Qingchen asked after some thought.

The system is assessing the incarnation's combat power. The incarnation's combat power is that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Self-preservation will not be a problem.

"Very good, that's enough. System, send my incarnation, Ye Qingyu, to the time after the opening of the Prehistoric World." Only after transmitting all of his memories regarding the Prehistoric World to his incarnation, Ye Qingyu, did Ye Qingchen speak to the system.

Transmission in progress... Transmission successful.

"My life has gained another powerful safeguard." Only then did Ye Qingchen come back to his senses and head toward the classroom.

As Ye Qingchen exited the teaching building, he ran into Zhou Yi. As for Huo Yuhao, he had already gone back to set up his stall. He had skipped who knew how many classes in a row, and now that he had opened his stall again, his business was probably booming beyond imagination. Wang Dong had also vanished somewhere.

Zhou Yi handed Ye Qingchen a Soul Tool. After giving it a glance, Ye Qingchen discovered that it was a secret-art Soul Bone. It offered a five-percent increase, but it was truly useless to Ye Qingchen.

The next day in class, Ye Qingchen was dragged there by Wang Dong. Don't ask why. Ye Qingchen had wanted to skip class to ask Director Du about his sect, but Wang Dong caught him red-handed and forcibly dragged him from the dormitory back to the classroom.

Zhou Yi was still their homeroom teacher. As for selecting a class monitor, no one dared compete with Ye Qingchen. After all, everyone still remembered how Ye Qingchen had swept through the entire New Student Assessment alone without a single defeat. However, Ye Qingchen did not see it that way. From beginning to end, all he wanted was to complete the mission.

"Since no one objects, I'll give the position of class monitor to Huo Yuhao," Ye Qingchen said as he stood up without a second thought.

"I object!" Dai Huabin was the first to rise and protest.

"I object too..."

"I object too..."

"Whether you object or not isn't up to you. It's up to me. You bunch of defeated losers—if you object, then hold it in." Ye Qingchen slammed his palm against the desk. The four ten-thousand-year soul rings around him frightened all the protesting students into silence.

"Teacher, aren't you going to do anything?" someone said.

"I don't object to Ye Qingchen's proposal. As for Ye Qingchen, if any of you can defeat him, I won't say a word," Zhou Yi said as she watched Ye Qingchen's actions.

In the blink of an eye, autumn gave way to winter, and winter gave way to spring. Eight months had already passed. Ye Qingchen had also obtained a soul ring of around five thousand years for Huo Yuhao, preventing him from going to the Far North. The system's enhancement level had reached level twenty-eight, and Ye Qingchen had also taken up the Soul Tool Department as a secondary course. The academy had even given Ye Qingchen a plot of land free of charge for establishing his sect.

The first school year at Shrek Academy was drawing to a close for Ye Qingchen, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and the others. Next would come the holiday.

Every year, Shrek Academy's holiday lasted one month. Naturally, that month was not for the students to relax or travel the mountains and rivers. Instead, they were expected to integrate everything they had learned over the previous eleven months and cultivate diligently. After the one-month break came the advancement examination. Students who failed to pass it would be directly eliminated.
