Chapter 700: The fourth watch, the Strange Monastery (the second watch)
After the Lich King welcomed them, he led everyone away from here.
The monastery’s architecture was a fusion of ancient and modern times. It was very exquisite, with dao patterns and array patterns everywhere. Walking on the streets, not many people could be seen, and a piece of clothing floating around did not attract the attention of the people here.
Perhaps, they were already used to it.
“Is there only so many people in the monastery?”A person of the immortal realm asked.
“There are three thousand disciples in the monastery, but there are only about a hundred people in the monastery now,”the Lich King said.
“Why are there so few?”Chi Jun asked in surprise.
In the universe, any small faction could have three thousand disciples. There were simply too many species in the universe. When the base number was large, the number could not be small.
It was hard to imagine that a top force like the DAO College only had 3,000 disciples.
The lich king replied, “Many disciples will choose to leave the DAO College and return to their original lives. The DAO College will allow them to come and go without any hindrance. Of course, more will die in battle.”
Die in battle!
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. More died in battle. This meant that the dao college was not as safe as they thought.
“Who will teach us?”Zhuge Xiaoming asked.
“No one will teach you. You will enter the DAO College and start a new learning career. During this period, you will need to learn everything on your own. You can take as many cultivation insights and resources as you want in the DAO College. You can also ask the souls of some of the seniors in the DAO College. As long as you abide by the rules of the DAO College, there will be no requirements on you,”the Lich King replied.
Everyone looked at each other. This monastery was really strange. Self-study coupled with unlimited resources was nothing. Many disciples from major factions also had such resources.
Although they did not understand, they still obediently followed the Lich King into a house.
“Each choose a house and settle down. There are various rules of the monastery in the rooms. You have to remember these. Otherwise, if you violate the discipline of the monastery and are punished, you will regret it.”The Lich King’s voice was still as calm as an ancient well, after mechanically explaining it, he shut his mouth and did not say anything.
Everyone began to choose a room. There were more than five hundred houses in rows here, and it was very quiet and peaceful.
Ye Sheng chose a room that was close to the mountainside. He pushed open the window and could see the cliff. Below the cliff was the Sea of chaos.
This location was very good, and there were others who took a fancy to it. However, he could not defeat Ye Sheng and was scared away by Ye Sheng, Chi Jun, Zhuge Xiaoming, and Du Qingyi.
Ye Sheng chose this place, and they all chose the same position as Ye Sheng.
When everyone had finished choosing, the Lich King left, and a piece of clothing floated away. It was a little strange.
After choosing the house, Ye Sheng rested alone in the room, and picked up the “Things to take note of in the monastery”that was placed in a conspicuous position.
After entering the monastery, he had been very confused. was the management of the monastery so lax?
If the disciples did not teach, why did they have to teach themselves?
Ye Sheng found it very strange. He sat on the chair and flipped through the book.
The first thing the monastery had to take note of was not to tell anyone about the monastery. If they did, their cultivation would be crippled the first time, and their lives would be taken the second time.
“No wonder there is so little information about the monastery,”Ye Sheng muttered.
As he continued reading, there were only a few things the monastery had to take note of. During the study period, they could not kill each other. All students who participated in fighting and killing their fellow disciples would be executed.
The rest were just a few small problems. Ye Sheng memorized these in his heart and then looked at the monastery’s teaching.
“Since ancient times, in the greater world, all kinds of strange stories and characters can be teachers. The monastery has the spiritual relics of the predecessors. Those who are fated can naturally learn.”Ye Sheng recited the words on the book.
The monastery collected many spiritual relics of the predecessors and kept them in various places. The students studied on their own. Those who did not understand could go and see their own opportunities.
The monastery’s library was at your disposal. The resources of the monastery were unlimited.
The monastery was a place that connected the past to the future. They could come and go freely. They would not keep you or chase you away.
After flipping through this book, Ye Sheng had some understanding of the monastery. All in all, this was a very strange place.
The students came in with a high degree of freedom. Those who could enter the monastery were basically geniuses. They all had their own ideas and thoughts. They were all adults and could take responsibility for themselves.
The monastery would not teach you. Instead, they would let you learn, think, and grow on your own.
This was the rules of the monastery. All along, the monastery had nurtured countless experts and relied on this model.
They gave geniuses the space to develop on their own and did not restrict their thoughts.
This was because geniuses were different from ordinary people. Cramming education was not useful for geniuses, but it was very effective for ordinary people.
Ye Sheng read the entire book again and memorized everything he needed to remember. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
“The greatest advantage of the DAO College is the spiritual legacy of its predecessors. I must go and take a look in a few days,”ye Sheng muttered.
The predecessors here were definitely great experts in history. Only then would they have the right to be collected by the DAO College.
Moreover, Ye Sheng was very curious as to why the DAO College was established on the Sea of chaos. The Lich King said that most of the disciples of the Dao College had died in battle. Was it a war against the chaos?
These were all questions that Ye Sheng needed to explore.
On the day he entered the monastery, Ye Sheng left his room and went to the monastery’s library.
The monastery’s library was not in the monastery. When Ye Sheng followed the directions on the map and arrived at the location of the library, he only saw a huge black door. There were countless purple lights within the door. He did not know where it led to. It was extremely mysterious.
This door was very large. It was more than ten meters tall and very wide. It occupied Ye Sheng’s entire line of sight.
There were two old men guarding the door. A man and a woman. They were both in their 80s. Their hair was white and there were spots of color. They looked like they were at the end of their lives.
They basked in the Sun at the door and were very relaxed. They lay on the chairs. When Ye Sheng arrived, they did not move.
Ye Sheng walked over and asked softly, “Grandpa and Grandma, is this the library of the Dao College?”
“Yes, are you a new disciple?”The old man opened his eyes. They were extremely muddy. He was old and his eyesight was not very good.
“Yes, I just arrived.”Ye Sheng nodded and said.
“You are very diligent. You entered the library as soon as you came to the DAO College. Are you not satisfied with your own strength?”The old man was a little interested and began to chat with Ye Sheng.
“No one will refuse to make themselves stronger.”Ye Sheng smiled slightly and asked.
“That’s right. Then you can go in. I Won’t disturb you anymore.”The old man closed his eyes.
“Old Man, tell me about the situation in the library. Otherwise, it won’t be good if I destroy anything.”Ye Sheng rolled his eyes and lowered his posture.
“You can’t destroy the books in the library pavilion. They are all from different eras. You Don’t have the ability to do so. Just be casual in there. If you can destroy the library pavilion, I’ll look at you in a new light,”the old man said lazily, he didn’t even open his eyes.
