"Hahahaha, he thinks he's worthy of comprehending the Unique Dao Treasure?"
But just then, a wild laugh suddenly rang across the mountains from afar.
The next moment, Dean Cui, with a wooden sword strapped to his back, tore through the void and descended from the heavens.
He swept his sleeve with a great gesture, then stood with his hands behind his back and looked toward Ye Xuan on the Enlightenment Platform. His pupils suddenly contracted.
Cui Shao had only just learned that Ye Xuan had comprehended the Dao, and he had immediately rushed over.
He had never imagined that Ye Xuan would truly comprehend the Fourteen Absolute Arts and Seven Secrets simultaneously, creating a precedent in the academy's history!
If this was truly Ye Xuan's comprehension ability, then it was terrifying!
But that was absolutely impossible.
The Forbidden Body was cursed by Heaven and could never possess defiance-of-Heaven aptitude.
There had to be something wrong with the Enlightenment Platform.
As for the Unique Dao Treasure, that was even more impossible!
"The Unique Dao Treasure of Cloud Palace Academy was personally hidden in the Enlightenment Platform by the Great Gan Ancestor. Even the Academy Head doesn't know what inheritance it contains!"
"This mere Forbidden Body dares to covet the Unique Dao Treasure?"
"This is truly the most ridiculous thing under Heaven!"
Dean Cui's voice rang out clearly. His gaze swept across all directions before finally settling on Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan, get down—"
Buzz!
Before Dean Cui could finish speaking, the talismanic patterns formed by the Fourteen Absolute Arts and Seven Secrets, which had been circling Ye Xuan, sank once more on the Enlightenment Platform!
At the same time, the Enlightenment Platform was enveloped in dazzling divine light. Then, like an ancient volcano erupting, a pillar of light shot skyward like a sword, piercing straight into the clouds!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The blinding light transformed into magnificent towers and palaces. Within them, there even seemed to be an ancient dragon carrying the sword intent of the primordial wilderness, its dragon roar echoing through the Nine Heavens and sweeping across all directions!
The entire Cloud Palace Mountain Range seemed to tremble violently at that moment.
Dean Cui and the others were even forced back slightly by that ancient sword aura. Yet when they looked at the Enlightenment Platform, which had been completely swallowed by light, they were utterly dumbstruck!
At that moment, a ten-thousand-zhang pillar of light hung upside down between Heaven and Earth like a sword's edge.
Such momentum was absolutely beyond what could be produced by the emergence of the Seven Secrets!
Could it be that the Unique Dao Treasure of Cloud Palace Academy had truly emerged!?
Only after more than a dozen breaths did that sword-like heavenly light gradually dissipate. The ancient palace and dragon form blooming above the Enlightenment Platform also suddenly collapsed at that moment.
But when everyone looked toward Ye Xuan on the platform, they discovered that four words had already appeared above his head.
"Dragon Palace Punishes Heaven!"
Could this, could this be the legendary Unique Dao Treasure of Cloud Palace Academy!?
At that moment, Dean Cui involuntarily staggered back several steps before finally steadying himself.
As a Sword Cultivator at the Half-step King Realm, he could naturally tell that the momentum just now had absolutely not been caused by an error in the Enlightenment Platform.
This Dragon Palace Punishes Heaven Sword was definitely a top-tier Dao Treasure sword technique!
Moreover, as the Unique Dao Treasure, it would completely disappear once someone comprehended it.
In other words, from this day onward, only Ye Xuan in all the world would be able to cultivate this sword technique!
Cui Shao did not know exactly what level this sword technique belonged to, but it had been personally hidden within the platform by the Great Gan Ancestor. How could its grade possibly be low!?
At the very least, it was of the Top Dao Tier, enough for someone at the Nirvana Realm to cultivate and perhaps even use all the way to the King Realm!
"Heh heh, Dean Cui, you came at just the right time!"
At that moment, Ye Xuan had already risen on the Enlightenment Platform. He spread open his arms, and all the secret-art talismanic patterns flowed into his body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Then Ye Xuan stepped down from the Enlightenment Platform, looked at Dean Cui, who was still standing there in a daze, and smiled. "I wonder, how many points can these secret arts be exchanged for?"
His reason for comprehending all the secret arts was also to obtain points.
After all, comprehending an ultimate art granted the corresponding number of points.
The so-called Fourteen Absolute Arts were not even worthy of him cultivating.
"Hm?"
Only when Ye Xuan approached did Cui Shao recover his senses.
Ye Xuan had come here to comprehend the Dao merely for points!?
"Let me calculate!"
Dean Cui took a deep breath and steadied his confused mind. After calculating for quite some time, he frowned and said, "One Absolute Art is ten thousand academy points, and one Secret is one hundred thousand points."
"The Fourteen Absolute Arts and Seven Secrets add up to eight hundred and forty thousand points!"
"As for the Unique Dao Treasure..."
At this, Dean Cui paused before saying, "Since no one has ever comprehended it, the Academy Head's Office has no corresponding point reward."
"No reward?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xueyao immediately objected. "What do you mean? You're not giving him any points?!"
This was clearly deliberate sabotage!
"Xueyao, you can't put it that way. I mean that the Academy Head's Office can't award the points right now. Once the Academy Head returns from the Imperial Capital, it won't be too late to award them then!"
Cui Shao smiled faintly with his hands behind his back.
"You!"
Ji Xueyao was furious and was about to attack.
Buzz!
But just then, a golden light shot through the void from beyond the heavens like a flying shuttle. In the blink of an eye, it tore through the Cloud Palace formation and landed on the Enlightenment Platform.
The golden light then transformed into a jade slip, from which a dignified voice rang throughout the academy.
"With the comprehension flawless and the Dao Treasure emerged, three million points shall be bestowed."
The jade slip then dispersed and vanished.
Three million points!?
This time, the uproar suddenly erupted!
Because let alone the second-generation newcomers, even the points of the top ten true disciples among the First Generation Disciples were only in the millions!
Jun Wuji, who ranked first, had completed countless missions and broken numerous records over three years, only managing to accumulate nine million points!
Yet Ye Xuan had entered the academy on his first day and, in merely an hour and a half, obtained three million eight hundred and seventy thousand points?!
What kind of speed was that?
"Three million eight hundred and seventy thousand—tss, Ye Xuan can enter the top ten true disciples!"
"That's right. The one who originally ranked tenth was Zhao Yan, a true disciple of Tianxuan Tower, with exactly three million points!"
"In other words, Ye Xuan has just arrived at the academy, and he's already going to have a true disciple statue erected for him!?"
All the disciples looked at one another, their hearts instantly surging like a raging sea.
Was Ye Xuan going to become someone everyone looked up to the moment he entered the academy!?
