Chapter 1085: Chapter 72: Eighty-Two Years Cultivating the Mountain, The Young Emperor Wu (End of Volume)
"Celebrate Great Zhou!"
"Celebrate Great Zhou!" The crowd cheered.
"Celebrate the Minister of Agriculture!"
"Celebrate the Minister of Agriculture!" Another shout followed.
"Celebrate Duke Divine Might!"
"Celebrate Duke Divine Might!"
After three cheers, Xuan Yuan Qingtian and Zhao Xing restored Spirit Mountain.
Then the two flew down, bringing the Kunyuan Divine Hoe to the square outside the Earth God Temple for worship.
The focus was mainly on its achievements and legends, recounting its history.
The Kunyuan Divine Hoe, has not appeared for three hundred thousand years!
In the history compiled by Great Zhou, it’s only been about five hundred thousand years.
The legendary divine artifact descends into reality, returning to the hands of Kunyuan Academy, regardless of how much publicity is given.
They worshipped it for a full month, before enshrining it in the Earth God Temple.
Following this, it will be available for viewing by tourists, visitors, and participants for a full three years, after which it will be sealed away, no longer open to the outside.
After that, it will be handed over to Zhao Xing for study, but of course, Zhao Xing cannot just take it away at will.
Without any major projects or major wars, the Kunyuan Divine Hoe generally won’t be used.
Want to take the Kunyuan Divine Hoe out of the country? That’s even more impossible!
Unless Zhao Xing becomes Dean, on a day when he’s invincible.
...
The celebration counted from the welcoming in July of the 20th year of Da Zhi, lasted until the spring of the twenty-first year of Da Zhi, finally coming to an end.
"Whew, I can finally take a break." Zhao Xing let out a long breath.
The celebration back and forth over half a year, the entire Kunyuan Academy was immersed in great revelry.
Every day many came to see the divine artifact, and many came to see Zhao Xing.
At first it felt a little covertly pleasing, but over time it became unbearable.
Being viewed as a national treasure day in and day out, who can tolerate that?
Especially Meng Kun, who seemed eager to rush over and embrace him with a kiss.
He had to come and catch a glimpse of Zhao Xing every day, even bringing guests along.
Obviously, what he spoke were all some surface polite words.
But in Zhao Xing’s ears it sounded like:
Look, this is the national treasure of our Kunyuan Academy, named Zhao Xing, I unearthed it, impressive, right?
Finally when this enthusiasm waned somewhat,
Zhao Xing thought he could take a rest.
In the end, people indeed didn’t come, but ghosts came for sightseeing instead.
In the middle of the night Meng Kun brought ghosts to knock on the door!
The Earth Court of the Yin Realm, a large number of Geographical Advantage Sect Minister of Agriculture Gods, all manifested above, wanting to take a look at him.
It completely bewildered Mr. Zhao!
After those Minister of Agriculture Gods left, Zhao Xing hurriedly grabbed Meng Kun’s sleeve: "Dean, you really mustn’t bring them to me."
Meng Kun looked a bit regretful: "Alright, there were actually a few more, but... never mind, next time then."
Only then did Zhao Xing truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Xing, speaking of which, I haven’t properly thanked you yet."
"Please accept my grand courtesy."
Meng Kun dusted his sleeve, about to perform a grand gesture.
"Hey, no, no, no, how can that be."
Zhao Xing was speechless, were you really going to kneel?
Seeing Zhao Xing’s obstruction, Meng Kun had to change the grand gesture to a smaller one.
"You don’t know, this return of the divine artifact helped me greatly!"
"Do you know, if it hadn’t happened, my position as dean would have been talked away by Qin Shanyue’s foul mouth!"
Hearing the name, Zhao Xing pondered slightly: "Vice Dean of Xuantu Institute?"
"Who else if not him?" Meng Kun said dissatisfied, "This guy has been vying for position with me for years, grabbing any opportunity to publicly criticize me."
"But now he has nothing to say, anyone who sees me praises my insightful dean!"
Zhao Xing couldn’t help but laugh: "Indeed, the dean is insightful."
Lao Meng’s vision is not to be underestimated, back then Xuantian Academy initially only intended to offer him the position of Preaching Master.
Yet Meng Kun and his peers were generous, right from the start offering Doctor of Governance, later making him Dean of Ksitigarbha College.
Meng Kun also used his resources for himself, when commotion arose at Xuantian Academy, the Kunyuan Academy, however, remained quiet.
He continued to regularly visit the Spiritual Mountain Region to comprehend the Earth Palace and observe the earth veins’ movements.
"Earth Advantage Sect is indeed closer to him, back then at Ten Suns Cave Heaven, I indeed received a lot of resources at the Geography Institute." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"What are you thinking?" Meng Kun asked.
"I was thinking, since the dean wants to unearth talents, I have a few candidates I can recommend."
"Oh? Do tell," Meng Kun was intrigued.
"The Pingyuan Prefecture officer in Tongming Prefecture, named Chen Shijie, is experienced, with a high talent in Geographical Advantage Skill."
"He’s been in Tongming Prefecture for over twenty years, and long ago restored the Earth Advantage during the chaotic times."
"Tongming Prefecture, rich in rivers, hasn’t had a single flood or earthquake in over twenty years."
"Oh?" Meng Kun nodded, "I’ll take a look some other day."
"Since the dean needs to inspect Pinghai State, why not take a look along the way, I also know a few military Minister of Agriculture officers..."
.....
Talking with Meng Kun for a whole night, Zhao Xing planned to set off for the main institute of Xuantian Academy.
Now as a third-rank Spirit Mountain Envoy, Emperor Jing intended for him to go to the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land to choose a Spirit Mountain for cultivation.
Zhao Xing has yet to study the Spirit Mountain Technique.
The mountain nurtures people, and people nurture the mountain, once Heavenly Fate Realm cultivation begins, the original body isn’t easily moved away.
The Hou Transformation Technique, however, can only be performed in person, so he must take advantage of the time before entering the Blessed Land to explain what needs explaining.
In any case, the Kunyuan Shovel is still three years away from coming into his possession, so he’s not in a hurry to cultivate.
Dao Source Continent, Qianqing County.
In April of the twenty-first year of Da Zhi, Zhao Xing arrived in Qianqing County.
Wanhua Cave Heaven, the place of succession for the Marquis Transformation Sect.
"Greetings, Dean."
"Zhao Xing," Ling Tianchen looked intently, "there seems to be great change in you, did you gain something in the Dragon Court, achieving a ’Chi Wen Transformation’?"
