Chapter 445: Chapter 236: Golden Core Pursuit, Guanxuan Academy_2

Translator: 549690339 |

To join the inner academy, there was only one choice – to become a tutor at the academy.

Previously, on the Immortal Boat crossing the Evil Mountain Range, Han Yi had heard many loose cultivators discussing the registration for becoming a tutor at Guanxuan Academy, which they talked about with great interest. At that time, he never thought it would have anything to do with him.

Unexpectedly, after wandering around Immortal City in Yu State, entering the Sixth Immortal Ring, killing someone outside the Supreme Pavilion, finishing some business, and arriving at the Seventh Immortal Ring, he had no choice but to join the academy out of coincidence.

Such is the mystery of fate and chance encounters.

However.

It was not as if one could simply join the academy as they pleased; the academy had high requirements for cultivators who wished to join Guanxuan Academy.

In the registration loft, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator saw Han Yi and showed no particular expression. Every year, many loose Golden Core cultivators came to register, but fewer than ten were admitted to Guanxuan Academy.

After registering his name, identity, cultivation base, age, and skills, Han Yi received a jade token with the character ‘Xuan’ glinting in faint luminance.

“This is Daoist Han’s identity jade token. If you pass the academy’s assessment, the jade token will officially become effective.”

“When is Daoist Han planning to take the assessment? I’ll write it down first.”

Holding the jade token, Han Yi said solemnly, “Can I take the assessment immediately?”

The registering cultivator didn’t raise his head and nodded, Of course.

As soon as his words were spoken, a middle-aged man came down from the second floor. He only said ‘follow me,’ then led Han Yi straight to the inner academy.

The man had an unwelcoming expression, so Han Yi didn’t bother trying to strike up a conversation.

As he entered the inner academy, the jade token in Han Yi’s hand flashed.

After entering, the middle-aged man led Han Yi to a specific palace in the academy.

“The assessment will be held inside.”

After speaking, the middle-aged man left. The simple and direct process left Han Yi puzzled. Didn’t the great cultivators of Guanxuan Academy worry about people sneaking in this way?

However, upon thinking it over, Han Yi realized that a Monarch cultivator had intervened and stopped his pursuit while he was chased earlier. This meant that there were Monarch cultivators protecting Guanxuan Academy both inside and out, which made sense.

Han Yi entered the Great Hall and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He hadn’t expected that after so many years of crossing over and cultivating painstakingly to reach the Golden Core, becoming a Supreme Elder within the Xuandan Sect, he would face another assessment one day.

The scene at this moment reminded him of when he had just crossed over and lacked points. After a year in Mengshan City, he had returned to the sect and underwent a re-entry assessment. While the form was somewhat familiar, his identity and cultivation base had changed dramatically by now.

As he stepped in through the gate, Han Yi found the situation amusing, but as he walked further inside, he focused his mind and composed himself. No matter the case, he had to join the academy as a tutor to hide in the inner academy and avoid pursuit.

The Great Hall was bright, and as Han Yi went to the innermost part, he still hadn’t seen anyone appear, which made him frown.

Did this mean the assessment had begun?

Were there cultivators hidden in the shadows, observing him?

What should he do next?

Han Yi was a bit confused. Was he supposed to trigger some mechanism here that would let the observing cultivators grade him?

However.

It turned out that Han Yi had overthought things.

One minute later.

A cultivator arrived leisurely – a man with a scholarly demeanor and a folding fan in hand.

This scholarly cultivator had an aura that made Han Yi feel uneasy, and it was on par with the cultivator who had pursued him outside the academy earlier.

Golden Core Peak – this was clearly a Golden Core Peak cultivator.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Han Yi cupped his hands in a respectful manner, “No matter, may I ask how the assessment will be carried out?”

The scholarly cultivator shook his folding fan, “Let’s wait a bit longer until Shi Yuanshi arrives. Then we can begin.”

“No hurry, let’s rest first.”

Han Yi nodded and sat down on a chair at the side of the Great Hall.

A moment later.

Another cultivator entered the Great Hall – a female Sword Cultivator carrying a long sword. And her aura was also at the Golden Core Peak, just like the scholarly cultivator’s.

Han Yi had seen this Sword Way aura on cultivators of the Daqian Southern Dipper Divine Palace before.

This was a Sword Cultivator.

Han Yi felt a jolt in his heart. Guanxuan Academy was extraordinary, worthy of being one of the great forces in Daqin. Just for the tutor assessment alone, two Golden Core Peak cultivators had shown up, one a Sword Cultivator and the other with unknown depth but clearly extraordinary, which demonstrated the strength of the academy.

Upon the female cultivator’s entrance, her beautiful eyes glanced at the scholarly middle-aged man, and she nodded as a greeting. Then she looked at Han Yi and found a place to sit.

Just as Han Yi was about to inquire further, he suddenly noticed the scholarly middle-aged man and female cultivator both stood up and looked outside the hall. Han Yi also stood up and followed their gazes.

A burly middle-aged man with a bear-like figure and wearing a vest entered the Great Hall. He had a fiery aura around him, and as his eyes met Han Yi’s, Han Yi felt a burning sensation throughout his body, his inner fire rushing towards his crown.

“He’s powerful.”

Han Yi’s heart trembled.

“Greetings to Shi Yuanshi,” the scholarly middle-aged man and female cultivator respectfully saluted.

Han Yi also followed suit, “Greetings to the Monarch.”

Yes.

This was a Monarch cultivator, and his aura was the same as that of the powerful academy figure who had stopped Han Yi’s pursuer with just one shout earlier.
