Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 559 - Five Hundred and Fifty-Two: Unease

After Ji Xing completed the first circulation cycle, he almost cried out in shock.

He was from a poor immortal family, so his cultivation technique was also inferior. No matter how hard he tried, his cultivation level was barely enough to stay in the Xuan Dao class.

The hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals he gave to Ding Huan were earned by himself. The family had already given everything for him to enter the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

With mediocre qualifications, insufficient resources, and an average cultivation technique, it was an immense effort for him to barely stay in the Xuan Dao class.

Now that he had operated the modified cultivation technique given by Ding Huan, he realized what real cultivation was.

The amount of immortal spiritual energy absorbed in one circulation was dozens of times more than before, and almost all of this spiritual energy was converted into his own cultivation.

Could such a cultivation technique truly exist in this world?

But this was clearly a modification of his family's cultivation technique.

In the Great Pangu World, nearly all immortal families cultivated their disciples with full effort, but this phenomenon was almost invisible. Yet in the Great Dao Corridor, it was ubiquitous.

The Great Dao Corridor is unique and cannot even be said to be a world of cultivating immortality.

The survival methods of the Great Pangu World were completely inapplicable here.

The survival order in the Great Dao Corridor was more complete than that of some lawful planets.

Even if the strong bully the weak, it is expressed in various forms of competition, not like the naked survival of the fittest and contempt for life seen in the Great Pangu World.

Here, anyone who dares to strike first will be killed first, regardless of the reason.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Codes of the Great Dao Corridor are strictly enforced without any hypocrisy.

Such order fostered numerous cultivation families.

Even weak cultivation families could survive and would not be easily exterminated.

When Ji Xing felt the strong effects of the modified cultivation technique from Ding Huan, he controlled his excitement and began the second circulation cycle.

He discovered that each subsequent circulation cycle of his cultivation technique produced better results.

After several cycles connected all the meridians and his Dantian, he could clearly feel the surrounding immortal spiritual energy surging in, rapidly increasing his cultivation.

When did his cultivation level increase so quickly?

It wasn't just Ji Xing; the feelings of the other seven were almost the same. They had never experienced such a terrifying speed of cultivation.

Long Xiyue, coming from a great immortal family, was also shocked by her cultivation speed.

Daoist Ding had modified her cultivation technique, but she did not hesitate to cultivate it.

In the Great Dao Corridor, Daoists were respected, and she would never think a Daoist would casually modify her cultivation technique.

Now that she was cultivating the modified technique from Ding Huan, she realized how extraordinary it was.

Although it appeared to be the same cultivation technique, the actual process was entirely different.

She wasn't sure if she could pass this technique to the rest of her family.

But for now, her priority was to quickly raise her cultivation level.

Previously, she could never fully concentrate during cultivation, but now, just one circulation cycle of this new technique immersed her completely.

What shocked her the most was not this feeling; it was the special Daoist rhythm she could sense in the immortal spiritual energy she absorbed.

This special Daoist rhythm seemed to strip the pill toxin impurities from her body and expel them.

If this could be considered a pleasant surprise, then what followed when Ding Huan began his cultivation made them unable to express their inner excitement.

When Ding Huan cultivated, an endless stream of immortal spiritual energy was drawn over, and everyone felt as if they were bathing in the purest Immortal Spirit Spring.

The rules of Heaven and Earth in the space became extremely clear.

It felt as if they could articulate these rules clearly, as if there was no need to comprehend them, or rather, there was no way to not comprehend them.

With such a cultivation speed, they shouldn't need a month to reach the pinnacle of Profound Immortal?

Even Long Xiyue, with the lowest cultivation level, believed that it would take her at most half a month, or even just ten days, to step into the realm of the pinnacle of Profound Immortal.

Could this Daoist Ding really be just an apprentice Daoist?

...

The Daoist Hall of the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

This time, even the first dean of the academy, Yuan You, the elder in charge of law enforcement, Asfei, were present.

Vice-deans Gu Min, Han Chi, and Lu Chenzhou, along with all the other academy leaders, were also present.

As for Fang Bei, a minor character, he didn't even have the qualifications to appear here.

"I've heard that a class from our academy bypassed the academy's authority and registered for the Daoist Skill College competition in the name of their class?" Yuan You spoke in a calm tone, but the anger in his eyes was undeniable.

It's not that classes couldn't register for such a competition independently.

The key issue was that he didn't know about it.

When a class from the academy registered for such a competition, academy approval was naturally required; it wasn't something they could just sign up for on a whim.

While participating in the Great Dao Corridor Academy's dean meetings, this matter was brought up as a laughingstock.

"It was the Zheng Dao class. The Daoist was an apprentice Daoist who was recruited just half a month ago," Lu Chenzhou responded proactively.

He was well-informed about this matter. In fact, at that time, Ding Huan and Daoist monitor steward Fang Bei had a very unpleasant altercation.

"What?" Yuan You, already feeling extremely displeased, almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing it was the Zheng Dao class.

Did these people have any sense at all?

"Who appointed him as the Daoist of the Zheng Dao class?" Yuan You suppressed his rage.

"It was suggested by Daoist monitor steward Fang Bei. At that time, he had a heated argument with Daoist Ding Huan, and it was quite unpleasant," Lu Chenzhou explained the truth.

To be honest, Lu Chenzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with appointing Ding Huan as the Daoist of the Zheng Dao class. The mistake was Ding Huan's lack of self-awareness, actually signing them up for the Daoist Skill College competition.

"I heard that on his first day imparting knowledge, this Daoist Ding asked the students for immortal crystals," a steward responsible for academy discipline stood up to speak.

He had received this complaint long ago. Unfortunately, there was no one else to guide the Zheng Dao class besides Ding Huan, so he hadn't yet punished Ding Huan.

"Dean, during Daoist Ding's assessment, he scored full marks on both the first round written test and the second round Dao test, and over eighty percent in the third round of separating the Five Elements liquid... I think he just took over as a Daoist, so he didn't know the difficulty of the academy competition. I believe he will grow slowly," Gu Min stepped up to say a word for Ding Huan.

Ding Huan was his man. Although this move was slightly inappropriate, he couldn't let Ding Huan leave a bad impression in front of the dean.

"Full marks for the first two rounds? Over eighty percent for separating the Five Elements liquid in the third round?" Yuan You looked at Gu Min in shock.

"Yes," Gu Min confirmed.

Yuan You fell silent.

He realized that Ding Huan signing up for the Daoist Skill College competition was a disgrace to the academy, but one thing was certain: Ding Huan had a significant secret.

"Bring me the Five Elements liquid separated by Ding Huan," Yuan You said, with much of his anger dissipated.

The Five Elements liquid separated by Ding Huan was quickly brought. Yuan You's divine will fell on the separated Five Elements liquid, and his expression immediately became serious.

The Daoist rhythm in this fist-separated Five Elements liquid was distinct, though the purity was only eighty percent. It was highly likely deliberate.

If it was deliberate, he himself could not achieve this.

"Alright, this meeting is concluded. The Daoist Skill College competition is less than three months away, let us all work together and aim for a better ranking for our Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy." Yuan You put away the separated Five Elements liquid and announced the end of the meeting.

Gu Min, who knew Yuan You well, felt a bit uneasy seeing the dean putting away the separated Five Elements liquid.

With full marks in the first two assessment rounds, Ding Huan was clearly no ordinary Daoist.

But the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy always prioritized talent, so Gu Min didn't think much of it. However, it seemed the dean, Yuan You, had started to ponder over it.

But in the Great Dao Corridor, even the dean couldn't casually attack an apprentice Daoist without a valid reason.

Gu Min knew Yuan You had taken notice of Ding Huan, but he didn't think Ding Huan was particularly dangerous.

...

Ding Huan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt a vague unease.

Since entering the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, this was the first time he had felt this way.

By cultivating the Great Universe Technique and integrating the laws of Heaven and Earth, Ding Huan's Great Dao was in harmony with all things.

Therefore, this feeling of unease was certainly not baseless but could indeed indicate potential problems.

His divine will swept out, confirming that the eight individuals had all reached the pinnacle of Profound Immortal within about half a month.

Ding Huan stopped cultivating. His cultivation level was currently at the fourth layer of Immortal King. Continuing to cultivate would not allow him to break through to the fifth layer in the short term.

When Ding Huan ceased cultivating, the cultivation speed of the eight individuals immediately slowed down.

Compared to their previous cultivation speed, it was still much faster, so the eight cultivator students did not stop cultivating.

Ding Huan began researching the Future Knowledge Divine Power within the Tian Gang Daoist Skill.

He had mastered the Big Calculation Skill.

After realizing that the Big Calculation Skill was deliberately given to him by the leather scroll's owner, Ding Huan stopped using it.

Moreover, his Big Calculation Skill often yielded vague results when predicting unclear areas, forcing him to rely on his own judgment.

In honesty, he felt that the Big Calculation Skill was somewhat overrated; its name was more imposing than its actual effectiveness.

Now, he had the Tian Gang Daoist Skill, and although the Future Knowledge Divine Power within it was slightly inferior to the Big Calculation Skill, it was still a top-level Daoist Skill.

After several days, Ding Huan had roughly mastered the Future Knowledge Divine Power and began to calculate his own safety for the near future.

For the next two months, he would be fine. Two months later, on one occasion when leaving his residence, he would be seriously injured in an ambush and would have to flee.

Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

The only ones capable of ambushing and seriously injuring him were Immortal Emperors.

In the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, both the dean and vice-deans were Immortal Emperors.

Why would the dean or vice-deans ambush him, an apprentice Daoist?

It seemed there was an issue with his Daoist assessment, likely due to the Five Elements attributes in the Five Elements liquid he separated in that one punch.

The laws of the Great Dao Corridor were strict; as long as he did not leave his residence, even the dean would not dare to make a move.

However, Ding Huan did not like placing his safety in the hands of others, so he decided to leave after a month.

As for qualifying for his promotion, he would rely on these eight students to achieve it for him.

"Everyone, stop cultivating," Ding Huan called an end to the eight people's cultivation.

All eight students looked at Ding Huan with extreme respect.

Daoist Ding had aimed for them to reach the pinnacle of Profound Immortal within a month, and in fact, it had only been about twenty days, but they were all now at the pinnacle of Profound Immortal.
