"It's the way home!"
"That's right, this is the Dao Path!"
Lu Li's mind swayed, and he suddenly woke up with a start.
He suddenly realized that perhaps he had been looking in the wrong direction all along when trying to comprehend Divine Ability.
The Divine Lord here comprehends Divine Ability because his greatest expectation is the Dao Path points to, and by integrating his greatest resources, he comprehends unparalleled and powerful supernatural Divine Ability.
His greatest wish is to go home.
It's about returning to the home I left behind before I even had a chance to properly look at it.
It was the country, the streets, the neighborhood where he was born and raised.
The familiar taste, the familiar aroma of food, the familiar crowd.
This is what he seeks on his Dao Path.
Only by using this as the foundation of Divine Ability and integrating his myriad abilities can one comprehend Divine Ability!
Lu Li has found his direction.
Close your eyes tightly, and try to make progress from it.
It's easier said than done.
Even if he finds a direction to comprehend it, Lu Li's own foundation is terrifyingly complex and multifaceted.
To truly integrate them, and to further seek enlightenment through the Tao, is even more difficult.
This Divine Ability is clearly not something that can be comprehended in a short time.
Lost in confusion.
A clear, ethereal voice rang in my ears.
"Master, we have reached the headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Academy."
"The French warship is preparing to descend through the Void Breaking; please be ready."
The Primordial Beginning voice announced the purpose of the journey.
Lu Li's thoughts returned to normal.
He felt like he had only been meditating for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, yet the French warships were already almost at Jingxi Prefecture.
It should be noted that the headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Academy is located at the border between the former Hanging Blade Pass and the former Demon Manor.
Even if Void Breaking, it would still take at least half a month.
This shows that the idea that profound enlightenment often takes several years is not just a rumor.
"Forget it, this Divine Ability can't be comprehended in a short time."
"Don't rush it."
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lu Li slowly stood up.
The first stop on the hunting expedition Hidden Dragon Academy.
The establishment of the academy was the result of repeated discussions with the Great Xia.
In the eyes of the Great Xia, the importance of the academy was the greatest among Dao Court.
The academy is essentially the Dao Academy that Lu Li started in back then.
It was even more prosperous than the Dao Academy of that time.
It not only accepts eligible children with Spirit Root from all over the Western Continent.
Even ordinary children of school age can enroll together.
As it turns out, Lu Li and Great Xia's plans were indeed ambitious.
Over the past century Hidden Dragon Academy has provided tens of thousands of cultivators and talents to various departments of the Dao Court.
Moreover, they were all loyal and highly skilled.
They have become the most core generation in Dao Court today.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Lu Li thought about the history of the academy.
The sixth-tier Void Breaking Grade magic ship has broken through the void and returned to reality.
The raging void turbulence has ceased.
Blue sky White Cloud came into view.
A formidable fortress stands majestically on the land below.
The majestic city is built against the mountain.
The city wall stretches for hundreds of miles.
It is made entirely of green jade Spirit Stone, and gleams with a warm luster under the sunlight.
The eaves of the city gate tower spread out like wings.
The plaque with the two characters "Hidden Dragon" hanging in the center has strokes as sharp as swords, pointing straight to the sky.
Within the city, pavilions and towers stand scattered about, and the sound of reading aloud can be faintly heard.
"The headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Academy is quite well-maintained."
" Changming, what were you thinking back then? Why did you choose to locate the academy's headquarters at the border between the two prefectures?"
Looking down at the grand scene at the academy.
Lu Li appeared on the deck in a flash and asked Changming, who was waiting beside him, about the reason.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changming quickly composed himself and responded.
"Reporting to Master, I was appointed to head the Dao Propagation Division back then."
"The Lord of the Court requests the propagation and expansion of the Dao. Our Dao Court has a vast territory, encompassing two prefectures."
"For the convenience of the people of both prefectures, the main headquarters of the academy has been established here."
"The academy's headquarters also enforces a military system, with strict discipline among its students."
"There has never been any disciplinary violation in all these years."
What Lu Changming said was true.
The Hidden Dragon Academy also has access to and control from the Primordial Beginning.
Each student admitted to the school has their identity recorded on a Jade Slip slip.
Any violation of discipline will be recorded and filed.
In fact, Primordial Beginning has not received a single record from the headquarters in all these years.
"Excellent, excellent. The main headquarters is the core of the academy, and its teachings and practices are the best in the Dao Court."
"However, a single headquarters cannot possibly influence the entire Dao Court."
"The focus of the Dao Propagation Division should be on its various branch headquarters."
Lu Li nodded in approval while offering his own opinion.
After leaving the pass, he learned about the development of the Dao Court over the years from everyone's reports.
The Hidden Dragon Academy, under the Dao Propagation Division, expanded rapidly over the course of a century.
In addition to the main academy, it also has three levels of academies.
There are tens of thousands of them, spread throughout the entire Western Continent, and they are still expanding at a crazy rate of hundreds of new schools every year.
The three-tiered academy is divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Primary schools were scattered throughout villages and rural areas.
This level of academy aims to enroll eligible children from rural areas who are undergoing initial assessments of their Spirit Root, as well as ordinary children.
Teach them to read and write, and to know that spiritual practice exists.
The intermediate academies were located in small towns and cities.
Most of those who enter this academy are young boys, around twelve years old.
At the intermediate level, one can begin to learn Cultivation Method and gain basic knowledge of various arts.
To become a true monk.
Ordinary youths who have progressed from the primary academy to this point can also be assigned to specific departments here.
Learn more about the techniques of cultivation and crafting.
Above that is the final level of academy below the main headquarters.
Advanced Academy!
All the advanced academies were located within the county seat.
In his earlier years, Lu Li lived in Azure Pool Blessed Land, which was only three counties in Blessed Land.
The county seat was already a major gathering place for the people of the Western Continent.
The requirements for entering the advanced academy are stringent.
Countless young cultivators, barely old enough to be considered for adulthood, are blocked from entering the advanced academy.
The assessment was extremely rigorous.
Spirit Root cultivators must pass examinations in cultivation, coursework, and skills.
It's even more difficult for ordinary teenagers; they must meet the requirements in every subject to be admitted.
This shows that the layers of academies and their branches were the foundation of the academy system.
Lu Changming was also aware of this crucial point.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed in response.
"Disciple understands."
"The establishment of primary, secondary, and advanced levels in the academy is a real help to the Dao Court."
"Those who fail the training can either Dao Court to work or find their own way to make a living."
"Not wasting time at the academy will do me a good thing."
"I will also diligently supervise the regulations and self-discipline of each branch."
Lu Li nodded and said nothing more.
The Divine Sense of the Divine Lord had already swept across the entire Hidden Dragon Academy.
It is already difficult to enter an advanced academy from an intermediate academy.
It would be even more difficult for the advanced academy to rejoin the main headquarters.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are one in a hundred.
Below, in this vast city of academies, the population numbered only a mere thousand or so.
It has fewer members than the earliest Azure Pool Sect.
This demonstrates the high value of the headquarters academy.
Back then, the Dao Academy only extended to a few Blessed Land, yet it gathered many Heavenly Fate.
Today, the entire headquarters of the academy gathers over 100 million people from both prefectures.
Only a thousand people were selected.
These thousand people are all extraordinary.
Lu Li scanned the area with his Divine Sense and quickly discovered numerous anomalies.
Even some students with special talents.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the unusual sights below.
"Interesting, very interesting."
"Is it because the academy's selection process is too rigorous, or is it because my own Dragon Qi has increased?"
"How come these days... Heavenly Fate is everywhere!"
