Xiao Chen Awakened a Divine Physique, Shaking the Dao-Seeking Academy

Purple qi came from the east above the Dao-Seeking Academy, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius surged toward the Dao-Seeking Academy like rivers flowing into the sea.

In the sky, countless birds flew in from every direction.

In the Dao-Seeking Academy's Beast Taming Institute, a hundred beasts cried out in unison.

In the Hundred Herbs Garden on the mountain behind the Pill Dao Institute, countless spirit herbs were revitalized, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Naturally, none of these changes escaped the notice of anyone in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

At first, the heads of the institutes had all been drawn to the phenomenon above the Sword Dao Institute, but they soon noticed a problem.

The source of the phenomenon was not in the Sword Dao Institute, but in the direction of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

In just two short minutes, the Sword Martial King's expression had gone from wild delight to bewilderment.

A Sword Dao Institute disciple asked, "Institute head, what... what exactly is going on?"

The Sword Martial King said, "Someone has awakened a Divine Physique."

As soon as he said that, everyone present was shocked.

In the entire Dao-Seeking Academy, only a handful of people had awakened Divine Physiques, and they could name every one of them.

Aside from the two ancestors in seclusion,

There were only the academy head and the head of the Heavenly Spirit Institute, the Carefree Sword King, who was also hailed as the Dao-Seeking Academy's next saint.

And now, they were about to witness the birth of the fifth person with a Divine Physique in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The Sword Martial King said to everyone, "Stay here and guard Lin Qingyu while he breaks through. I'll go see who has awakened a Divine Physique."

It was not just the Sword Dao Institute. The heads of the other seven institutes also immediately flew toward the place directly above where the Spiritual Qi was gathering.

Even the head of the Dao-Seeking Academy was alerted by the phenomenon in heaven and earth.

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "I wonder which of our Dao-Seeking Academy's geniuses awakened a Divine Physique while breaking through to the Nirvana Realm.

"Among our Dao-Seeking Academy's younger generation, we finally have a disciple who can stand against the great holy lands."

"Academy head, shall we go take a look together?"

an old man said.

"Let's go!"

In the span of a few breaths, the Dao-Seeking Academy's senior figures all arrived together at the mountain behind the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

When they saw Xiao Chen sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop and breaking through, their expressions turned especially strange.

Right beside Xiao Chen as he broke through, there was a blazing earth-fire cave.

And inside that fiery cave, there was another person cultivating.

Wasn't this kid afraid of suffering cultivation deviation, breaking through in a place like this?

Cultivators generally chose a quiet place where they would not be disturbed when they broke through.

Xiao Chen was being far too overconfident.

It was all because he had not chosen a good master. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to find even a suitable place to break through.

"Which institute are these two disciples from? Why are they cultivating in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

Seeing this, the academy head asked the question instinctively.

An elder following beside him said, "Academy head, Xiao Chen is a disciple of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, but as for the little fellow cultivating in the earth fire, this old man doesn't know."

The Profound Fire Pill King stepped forward and said, "Academy head, that little fellow is also a disciple of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

The academy head looked puzzled. "The Miscellaneous Dao Institute has taken in disciples?"

As head of the Dao-Seeking Academy, he naturally would not pay much attention to whether a minor institute like the Miscellaneous Dao Institute had any disciples.

He vaguely remembered that the heads of the eight institutes had previously joined forces to demand that the Miscellaneous Dao Institute be disbanded.

Yet now a disciple of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute had awakened a Divine Physique. What on earth was going on?

"Where is the head of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

Everyone looked around, and only then did they see a figure walking unhurriedly toward the back mountain.

The Profound Fire Pill King said, "Academy head, Chu Feng is down below."

The academy head swept the area with his divine sense and, sure enough, saw a familiar face.

After thinking carefully, he remembered that Chu Feng was an ordinary mortal, so it was only natural that he had not appeared beside them.

He asked no more and turned his gaze to Xiao Chen, the favored son of heaven.

Chu Feng had not expected the kid Xiao Chen to cause such a commotion so suddenly.

Just as he flew to the back mountain, he saw countless figures flying over from the distance, so he simply strolled slowly along the ground.

With these big shots here, nothing would happen to Xiao Chen.

As for him, he might as well be a quiet, handsome man.

Time passed, one minute and one second at a time.

Several hours later.

The presence around Xiao Chen finally stabilized, and a faint divine light enveloped his entire body.

He slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "I've finally broken through to the True Fate Realm."

At the same time, that familiar mechanical voice sounded in Chu Feng's mind.

"The host's eldest disciple has broken through to the True Fate Realm and awakened the Heaven-Collapsing Physique, one of the Divine Physiques. The host is rewarded with ten years of cultivation and a Heaven-Collapsing Physique at great perfection."

As the voice rang out, Chu Feng felt his body change, and the impurities within him were expelled in an instant.

It was as though his entire being had undergone some kind of transformation.

Fortunately, this was a system reward.

Moreover, the big shots were all watching Xiao Chen, so no one noticed the changes in Chu Feng.

He circulated the spiritual power within him, turned the impurities on his body to dust, and brushed them away with a casual pat.

He instantly felt refreshed in body and mind.

Seeing that Xiao Chen had broken through to the True Fate Realm, the big shots landed one after another.

"Disciple Xiao Chen pays his respects to the academy head and all the seniors."

Xiao Chen bowed to them.

"No need for formalities."

The academy head spoke those words calmly, then examined Xiao Chen.

"From what I can see, you should have awakened the Heaven-Collapsing Physique, one of the Divine Physiques. This is truly cause for celebration!"

Xiao Chen said respectfully, "This disciple owes his achievements today to the Dao-Seeking Academy's nurturing."

The academy head was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's reply. Although the Dao-Seeking Academy was not a sect, it was a good thing for its students to feel a sense of belonging to the academy.

If this genius could stay at the Dao-Seeking Academy, that would be even better.

"Are you still cultivating in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

Xiao Chen said, "Academy head, this disciple is indeed still cultivating in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

"Then where do you plan to cultivate next?" the academy head asked.

"Academy head, this disciple plans to continue cultivating in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. I hope to become a king or marquis of the Dao-Seeking Academy someday."

Xiao Chen spoke with a resolute expression.

The academy head was stunned. It had not been easy for him to see a promising talent appear in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Yet this kid still wanted to cultivate in a place like the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, which had no resources.

If word got out, the other factions would think the Dao-Seeking Academy could not recognize a treasure.

The Sword Martial King spoke up. "Xiao Chen, given your current status, it is no longer suitable for you to cultivate in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. I suggest you find another place to cultivate."

He was bitter at heart!

Had he known Xiao Chen's talent defied the heavens to such an extent, he should have overruled everyone and kept him back then.

Then, a hundred years from now, his Sword Dao Institute could have become the foremost of the Dao-Seeking Academy's institutes.

The other institute heads chose to remain silent. With the academy head here, it was not their turn to compete for him.

Xiao Chen said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I believe the Miscellaneous Dao Institute is the most suitable place for me to cultivate.

"If I had been in another institute, I could have awakened a Saint Physique at most in this lifetime. There would have been no possibility of reaching the heights I have today."

At these words, the institute heads present looked especially displeased.

Only the academy head asked with interest, "Xiao Chen, then are you saying you learned all your skills in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

"That's right. In truth, this disciple could have broken through to the True Fate Realm long ago, but my state of mind had not reached perfection. After returning to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, my comprehension of Sword Intent rose to a new level under my master's guidance. That was how I was able to awaken a Divine Physique today."

Xiao Chen's words rang out forcefully and clearly. Even Chu Feng, standing far away, could hear every word.

Everyone turned to look, and seeing Chu Feng smiling not far away, they suddenly felt an urge to beat him up.

This fellow must be showing off to us.

The academy head turned his gaze to Chu Feng.

"Little Feng, tell us how you guided your disciple's cultivation."

Chu Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Academy head, I merely had Xiao Chen put the cultivation theories from the storybooks and novels I've read into practice. It was as simple as that."

Watching him spout nonsense with a perfectly serious face, everyone was at a loss for words.

Even the academy head, a saint, was stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and gave Chu Feng a glance.

But a look of astonishment soon appeared in his eyes.

This kid isn't being honest. He clearly has cultivation, yet he's still pretending to be a mortal here.

The corners of the academy head's mouth curved upward in a meaningful smile. "So, the cultivation techniques you taught your disciple were all made up?"

As soon as he said that, all the big shots present looked astonished.

They stared at the academy head in disbelief.

How could you fall for Chu Feng's story too?

"Heh heh."

Chu Feng chuckled. "Academy head, you're a sharp judge of character!"
