Xu Yang returned to the Heavenly Strategy Academy without incident.
He had even entered the Heavenly Strategy Academy wearing Lu Ren's face, and no one at the entrance had checked his waist token.
Once inside the Heavenly Strategy Academy, however, he changed back to his own appearance and returned to his courtyard without trouble.
"I have the resources. For the foreseeable future, I'll focus all my efforts on raising my cultivation."
After putting away everything he had brought back, Xu Yang sat down on a meditation cushion.
His talent was somewhat greater than Lu Wei's, and he had even mastered the Dragon Elephant Heart Sutra and Azure Dragon Tyrant Body, Spirit Bone Cultivation Methods that Lu Wei himself had failed to master. Yet when it came to resources, he was far inferior to Lu Wei.
He had to find every scrap of his resources himself, whereas whatever people like Lu Wei lacked, the powers behind them would immediately deliver.
Never mind Lu Wei-most people on the Cloud Ascension Rankings had more resources than he did, to say nothing of Spirit Bone Prodigies like Qi Ning and Leng Qiuyue.
At his current realm, talent was certainly important, but resources could not be overlooked either.
Even if your talent surpassed someone else's, they could still leave you behind if your resources fell short of theirs.
Although he possessed undying longevity and his body would forever remain at its peak, the martial path required something just as important as resources and talent: cultivation methods.
Even in the Heavenly Strategy Academy's Martial Repository Hall, he had seen nothing beyond Heavenly Origin. In the future, he would inevitably have to compete with Qi Ning and the others for the chance to ascend the Ultimate Dragon Platform. He could not fall too far behind them.
