Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 738 Conversation
Under a towering ancient tree, Xu Chunniang and Mr. Zeng sat opposite each other on the ground.

After a few drinks, seeing that Mr. Zeng remained silent, Xu Chunniang put down the wine cup and broke the silence first.

"Mr. Zeng specially invited me here, probably not to inquire about the formation?"

Elder Zeng sighed softly, "Have you ever heard of the origins of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families?"

Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I am a monk who ascended from the lower world. I have not been in the spirit world for a long time, but I have also heard about the names of the seven great families and the deeds of the seven venerables."

Tens of thousands of years ago, the human race at that time had just gained a firm foothold in the spirit world, and was still in the midst of endless wars, suffering from wars and displacement.

When the human race was in danger, seven Mahayana monks stepped forward to turn the tide and protect the territory of the human race.

After this battle, the families of the seven Mahayana monks enjoyed a transcendent status.

The seven venerables were enshrined by hundreds of millions of monks of the human race for generations, and they ascended to the fairy world one after another, becoming legends.

It's just that Xu Chunniang, who has seen the truth of this world clearly, does not dare to believe the deeds of the Seven Great Masters.

In order to plunder more power of faith and incense offerings, those monks in the Mahayana period did not hesitate to initiate a war, causing the monks of the human race to suffer.

Maybe, the so-called seven venerables who turned the tide had the same purpose...

Mr. Zeng nodded slightly, "Then Xu Xueguan knows the origin of my Deity Academy?"

Xu Chunniang recalled the relevant records she saw in Wanjuan Pavilion.

"After the war, the weakness of the human race was touched, and the seven lords paid more attention to military equipment and culture and education. This was the predecessor of our human race army and Deity Academy.

After the establishment of the college, the seven venerables set up a method of actual combat exercises. The results of the exercises are used to determine the ranking of the students and judge the quality of the teachers. Since the establishment of this method, it has continued to this day. "

"Sure enough, Xueguan Xu only knows one thing, but not the other."

Elder Zeng sighed softly, revealing that it really did.

Xu Chunniang knew that Mr. Zeng wanted to remind herself.

She put on a posture of listening, "I would like to hear more about it."

"After the establishment of the Deity Academy by the seven venerables, they have indeed cultivated many rising stars for our human race. At that time, the evaluation in the academy was fairly fair, and the academic officers who performed well were all highly respected people of our human race.

But with the passage of time, the ranking and benefits of this actual combat exercise were gradually taken over by the seven great families. "

Mr. Zeng paused slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, and continued.

"Continuing to this day, this actual combat exercise is almost in name only, which is why you can win so easily today."

Xu Chunniang frowned, "Tianjin College is the number one school of our human race, how can it be so unbearable?"

There was more helplessness in Zeng Lao's eyes, "The so-called Deity Academy is just a microcosm of the huge human race. The entire human race is under the rule of the Mahayana Venerable and the seven families, let alone a small Deity Academy."

Xu Chunniang frowned even tighter, she finally realized how far the hands of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families stretched out.

"What about the head of the mountain? Is she also a member of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families?"

"Shan Zhang, she...of course not, she tried to change the status quo, but unfortunately failed in the end. The Temple of Preaching that you see today was set up by Shan Zhang after all the arguments.

The purpose of setting up the preaching hall is to select monks with real potential in our human race and break the monopoly of the seven great families. "

As he said that, Mr. Zeng shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that Xueguan Xu showed his sharpness today and completely offended the Seven Great Aristocratic Families. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in Tianshen Academy for long."

Xu Chunniang remained silent. The Seven Great Aristocratic Families had been in high positions for a long time, so naturally they would not allow anyone to challenge their authority.

For them, let alone the small Deity Academy, almost the entire human race is under their control.

And she is the pawn who has seen the truth and is unwilling to be manipulated.

"Since Mr. Zeng invited you kindly, the junior really has a few words to say."

Xu Chunniang smiled, but her tone was not very polite.

"I was exiled in the territory of the half-orcs, and I was able to return after traveling for decades. I have seen and heard a lot, and I have a lot of feelings.

The seven venerables have clearly learned that our human race should rebuild the style of martial arts, but it is not about playing tricks in the exercise and deceiving ourselves and others in the ranking.

The prestige of the seven great aristocratic families is like thunder, but if it is just for the sake of face and doing some mediocre things, even though my cultivation is low, I would not bother to do it. "

After saying that, Xu Chunniang took off the black badge on her skirt, and patted it on the stone slab in front of her.

"If the Deity Academy can't tolerate me, then I, Xu Chunniang, will resign from my position as an academic officer."

"Xu girl, you really have [-]% of the prestige of Uncle Ji back then."

Wang Tianjiu in the soul pot was applauding frantically for her.

"Yes, that's how it should be! I don't keep my master here, I have my own place to stay, what kind of broken academy, Zi Junzhu has already got it, why stay here? Hahahaha..."

Xu Chunniang got up and was about to leave when a voice stopped her.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished my sentence yet, why should Xu Xueguan leave in such a hurry?"

Mr. Zeng stood up and said with a wry smile, "You are the one chosen by the head of the mountain. The original intention of my words was not to force you to leave."

Under Zeng Lao's persuasion, Xu Chunniang turned around and sat down again, but she didn't intend to take back the badge.

"The influence of the seven great families is deeply rooted, and now there are seven Mahayana venerables in our human race, and five of them are from the seven great families.

This is a force that even the head of the mountain can't easily shake. Xu Xueguan is like a mantis against it? "

Elder Zeng persuaded, "It is unwise to rashly offend the seven great families. If you want to change the status quo of the human race, you must do it slowly."

"It's against my heart to be submissive to them, and I can't do it."

"As the saying goes, Dao Ning chooses from the straight, not from the melody. The head of the mountain is indeed right. Xu Xueguan is a man of principle."

Old Zeng showed admiration on his face, "Just now I said that Xu Xueguan will not stay in Deity Academy for long, not to drive you away, but for your safety.

After all, you have offended the Seven Great Aristocratic Families too hard, and it will inevitably trigger some people's revenge. "

Xu Chunniang remained silent. She did not expect that these aristocratic families would penetrate and control the human race so deeply, even the Deity Academy, where Mahayana monks sit in charge, is no exception.

She broke through three barriers in a row with her cultivation at the stage of transformation of gods, and became a prefectural-level academic officer of Huashen Academy in one fell swoop, and she was already on the cusp of the storm.

But this time, he stepped on the face of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families directly, how could he not incur revenge?

Just do it all over again, and she'll still do it.

"I get it, but I don't regret what I did today."

"Actually, after you passed the test of the double phantom array back then, the head of the mountain has always attached great importance to you, but because of the seven great families, she can't do too much on the bright side."

Mr. Zeng said, with regret in his eyes, "Too many people are staring at you, even if the head of the mountain wants to help you, you have to weigh it.

Now that you and the Seven Great Aristocratic Families have such a trouble, it is a foregone conclusion to leave the academy, but before leaving, the head of the mountain asked me to give you a chance. "
