Long Live The Emperor!

Chapter 834: 8. Nine of the Heavens, Little Uncle-Master (2 in 1)

Ouyang Mu smiled when he saw Xia Ji. “”After thinking about it, I feel that it’s not appropriate for Little Sir to be an ordinary student.

Then this old man has two choices. Little mister, you can choose for yourself, okay?”

“Please speak,” Xia Ji said gently.

“My Snow Listening Academy has three inheritances.

First, the cultivation of qi, with the body’s breath, mouth contains the law of heaven, earth shaking mountains.

Second, the formation path used their profound heart to search for opportunities and carve formation plates.

Third, as a general, you can gather thousands of troops and be invincible on the battlefield.”

He paused for a moment.

Xia Ji roughly understood that the only inheritance left in the Confucian Sect was the ‘General’.

As for the “Qi Nurturing” and “Array Dao”, they had long disappeared in the long river of history.

Only a few precious array disks and array flags were left…

And this “Qi Cultivator” was quite similar to the “Heavenly Constitution” that he had created previously.

In short, it was a certain degree of ” law of the word. ”

But thinking about it, it was different because the world was still full of vitality at this time, unlike the decline of the later generations.

In short, it should be easier to achieve the “oral laws”.

But correspondingly, if he used his Heavenly Constitution here, its power should be even stronger.

The old man continued, ” The academies belong to Confucianism and Taoism. The most important thing is to cultivate Qi.

Each academy had their own unique method of ‘nourishing energy’.

However, the hardest part was not Qi Cultivation, but Array Dao.

Carving a formation disk was an extremely difficult task. Only geniuses who were extremely talented and interested in formations could learn this technique.

As for being a general, one would use formation disks or inferior formation flags to lead thousands of troops to serve the dynasty.

So …

The Confucian Sect had another saying.

On the capital, carved array, is the array master.

Those who have medium posture and good temperament are scholars.

A man of low bearing is a general who leads an army.

However, it was also very important for the battle generals to lead the troops. Most of these people served in the various Dynasties…

Therefore, although the Academy didn’t occupy much land, it had great influence and control over the dynasties.

In some countries, the first thing the emperor does after he ascends to the throne is to visit the Academy and address him as a student.”

He paused for a moment and continued, ”

“Every inheritance naturally has a leader.

However, our Tingxue Academy is missing array masters.

Little Sir’s choice was,

First, you can become my disciple in name. From now on, you will have more authority and freedom in the academy.

Second, I will take in a disciple on behalf of my late master and let Little Mister take over the Array Dao to revive the inheritance of the Array Masters in my Tingxue Academy.”

The old man said frankly.

He was naturally very happy that such a ” natural born saint ” could enter Tingxue Academy. This choice was something he had thought about for a long time and had never made before. It was almost an unconstrained choice.

Especially ‘taking over the Array Dao inheritance’, this was simply an inconceivable choice.

However, he had to admit,

No matter what Xia Ji chose, he would gain a lot of power in Northern Tang, which was under Liangzhou City.

If he chose to be Ouyang Mu’s nominal disciple, he would become the junior brother of many famous generals and scholars in Northern Tang and even other countries.

His junior brother was taken care of. If he encountered any trouble, his senior brothers and sisters might help him solve it, but at the same time, he would lose a certain right to speak.

If he chose to be Ouyang Mu’s junior brother…In that case, those generals and scholars who walked out of Tingxue Academy would very likely have to call him Martial Uncle.

Uncle-Master had to take care of others and help them solve their problems, but correspondingly, he also had the right to speak.

The old man didn’t rush him. He only told Xia Ji about the privileges and benefits of these two choices.

In short,

If Xia Ji were to become the principal’s nominal disciple, he would be able to instantly obtain a very high-level Qi Cultivation technique with the academy’s Qi Cultivation legacy. He would also be able to receive guidance from many great teachers.

At the same time, no matter what difficulties he encountered on his path of cultivation, there would be someone to answer them and help him overcome them.

However, if Xia Ji chose to take over the Array Dao, he would have more resources.

But on the path of array formation, he could only fumble around on his own. Others could at most discuss with him, but could not give him pointers.

If he encountered a bottleneck, he could only think of ways to break through on his own.

“I’m willing to take over the Array Dao inheritance,” Xia Ji said after some analysis.

The old man looked at him deeply.

“There’s no need to announce it to the world,” Xia Ji said.

The old man understood what he meant.

“Zhao Teng!” he shouted.

The Academy teacher who was waiting at the mountain pass walked back.

The old man glanced at him and slowly said, “”From now on, this young mister Qi Mo will be your martial uncle.”

Uncle-Master?

Teng Zhao’s eyes widened in shock.
