The First Glimpse of Supernatural Powers, and How Each Side Fared

The most important aspect of any method is its conception.

Qin Wangchuan has completed the most difficult part, and the remaining part will be taken over by several elders.

The Academy's elders are all extraordinary; the remaining work can be completed by one person alone.

Choosing to take over together is a tacit agreement.

To participate in creating a new realm destined to be remembered in history, and to leave one's name on Myriad Ages legacy—such an opportunity is enough to make any elder devoted to the Great Dao eagerly anticipate it and find it hard to refuse.

People even fought tooth and nail to get involved.

Wandao Academy, Council Hall.

The hall was brightly lit, and several figures had already taken their seats.

The atmosphere was different from the usual serious and rigid one; a barely suppressed excitement and undercurrent of competition were subtly floating within it.

The headmaster of the Academy, seated at the head of the table, had a serene face and deep, unfathomable eyes, but the unconscious tapping of his fingertips on the armrest betrayed a hint of unease.

"Elder He," the dean began, his voice steady as he got to the point, "Please explain the matter of the 'Supernatural Realm' to everyone in detail again."

He Xuan nodded slightly. Before him were no longer those few simple pages of paper, but a Jade Slip radiating inner light.

He didn't say much, but simply pushed the Jade Slip towards the center.

Several powerful Divine Sense immediately intertwined with it, silently probing.

A moment later, several uncontrollable gasps rang out almost simultaneously.

"This... this really can work?"

Qi Yue, an elder of the Lingyun Sword Academy, was a middle-aged man with a straight back like a sword and a sharp edge between his brows. He was the first to withdraw his Divine Sense, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Based on the foundation and framework described therein, theoretically... any Supreme Being can enter this path." Another elder from the Shenwu Academy said in a deep voice, then looked at He Xuan:

"How many people have tried this method, and what were the results?"

He Xuan curled his lips into a smile, but said nothing. Instead, he tossed out several more pieces of jade.

The jade stones formed Light Screen in mid-air, displaying scenes of disciples practicing Supernatural Law.

Then he proudly spoke:

"Initially, a hundred people tried the method, and all of them mastered it."

"It has now spread to tens of thousands of people, and so far no one has been found to have failed in their cultivation."

Upon hearing this result, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone understood what those few words meant—it wasn't just about gaining a powerful Technique Method; it was about forcibly embedding a new realm into a cultivation realm that had been solidified for 100,000 years!

"That's not the only achievement."

"Oh?" Many people, including the dean, cast a questioning glance at them.

Then He Xuan took out a talisman.

"This item is called the 'Daoshu Talisman.' It was a concept proposed by Qin during his deduction of Supernatural Law, and was later optimized by many parties."

"It enhances the power of the Heaven and Earth Law after use, which is a result that cannot be ignored."

Several Divine Sense swept over the talisman again.

"The design of the Talisman Dao is indeed ingenious, demonstrating skill in the details. However..." Qi Yue first withdrew his Divine Sense, then looked at He Xuan and spoke frankly:

"This thing is ultimately an external aid; compared to the Supernatural Law that pave the way and establish the foundation, it is like a firefly compared to the bright moon—incomparable."

Wu Qingshan of the Divine Martial Academy echoed in a deep voice, "Indeed."

"The effect of this talisman is somewhat of a waste for truly powerful individuals."

"What you all say is quite right," He Xuan said slowly, his expression unchanged. "My Original Intention in displaying these two items was not to compare their superiority."

"Instead, I want to inform you that neither of these two works is ordinary; one is the foundation for a new path, and the other is a skillful application, both almost simultaneously created by the same person."

"In other words, the Supernatural Law created by Qin Wangchuan was not accidental, but inevitable."

"What an inevitability!"

Qi Yue clapped his hands, his gaze fixed intently on He Xuan. "Old man He, didn't you just want to say that Qin Wangchuan's talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, and that we should invest more resources in him?"

Having been exposed, He Xuan smiled but remained silent.

Although he advocates equality, an exception should indeed be made for a Prodigy like Qin Wangchuan.

The Dojo was not big enough; there was only one page.

Shabby!

"Resources will definitely be invested, but..." Wu Qingshan of the Divine Martial Academy changed the subject, his voice filled with undisguised envy and eagerness, "He Xuan, this young man was selected by all three academies, and should be a talent shared by all three!"

"We can't just stay cooped up in your Xuanyi Academy forever, can we?"

"When can we invite him to our Shenwu Academy for a period of exchange? Our academy possesses Ancient War Body Secret Scroll, which may help him to understand them by analogy!"

"What's so special about the Battle Body Scroll?" Qi Yue immediately retorted, his tone sharp and characteristic of Sword Cultivator. "Our Lingyun Sword Academy's Sword Intent is profound; all techniques can be incorporated into the sword!"

"If this child comes and observes the Supreme Sword Stele, he might be able to comprehend a new divine Swordsmanship from it!"

Wu Qingshan was not convinced.

Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, there would still be a first-come, first-served order, right?

"Bullshit! I invited Qin a long time ago."

As the atmosphere shifted rapidly from astonishment to a fierce competition over Qin Wangchuan's ownership or the right to communicate, the headmaster in the main seat coughed lightly.

The voice was soft, yet like a clear spring, instantly calming all the restlessness.

"Qin Wangchuan's talent is truly a blessing for the Academy and even for the Human Race."

The dean spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "However, his Dao Path is still in its early stages, and his mind is not yet firm. Forcing him to travel between different academies at this time would probably not be beneficial."

"We'll discuss this later."

"As for the outline of the Supernatural Realm, I have personally compiled it and submitted it to the Heavenly Emperor, awaiting their decree."

"Finally, let that kid handle the matter of the attack on the Dojo."

That kid was naturally referring to Qin Hongchen.

The elders thought it over and agreed that it made sense; as the older brother, Qin Hongchen was naturally better able to protect Qin Wangchuan.

But upon further reflection, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The dean really thinks highly of that kid Qin Hongchen.

The Ten Directions Immortal Court.

Above the endless Cloud Sea.

The Gale Wind subsided, leaving only starlight, like a veil, quietly spreading out.

An ancient jade chessboard floats amidst the clouds, with black and white pieces arranged in a staggered pattern.

With each move, subtle ripples of Dao Rhyme spread out, causing the surrounding starlight to flicker.

There are only two players.

On the left, a person casually holds a black chess piece, with starlight and shadow flowing between their fingertips.

It was none other than the current Heavenly Emperor of the Qin Clan, the mighty Heavenly Emperor Qin, Qin Taiyi.

On the right is the Heavenly Emperor of the Li Clan.

At this moment, Qin Taiyi did not make a move. His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of the Cloud Sea and boundaries, directed towards a distant direction.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, his voice ethereal, as if talking to himself:

"Supernatural Realm..."

"That's interesting."

Heavenly Emperor Li, sitting opposite him, placed his white piece down, speaking casually as if chatting with an old friend, "My previous investment in him was Original Intention to use him to deduce the Sword Seals."

"But now, before we've even seen the Sword Seals, we've already produced a Supernatural Realm... Old Man Qin, I have a feeling that Wangchuan has gone down the wrong path."

"Did we take the wrong road?" Qin Taiyi's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

"You think he went the wrong way?"

He paused as he spoke, his body standing still like a mountain under the starlight.

Then, the voice fell, not loud, but like a stabilizing force, carrying an absolute power that was unquestionable and irrefutable:

"But I think we made the right choice."

His surname is Qin, not Li.

The Cloud Sea surged silently around us, and time seemed to slow down at that moment.

It means, your decision doesn't count!

Heavenly Emperor Li paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head, "You stubborn old mule... your protectiveness is still so unreasonable."

He picked up the teacup, its surface shimmering with the light of condensed clouds, a profound and intriguing meaning flashing in his eyes, and spoke with a leisurely tone:

"It's okay, I can wait."

"Right--"

"Relatives by marriage."

Qin Taiyi made countless transactions in his life, and never lost a single one.

But at this moment, hearing those two words only sounds jarring.

'We lost out!'
