Chapter 403: 403: Grabbing a Handful of Geniuses
After a flight of more than half a month, the Questioning Heaven Academy appeared within Qin Changqing’s sight.
By Qin Changqing’s side, Tao Yao curiously observed the mountaintop that pierced straight into the vast sky.
Despite being tens of thousands of miles away, even a mortal could see the mountain range where the Questioning Heaven Academy is located.
The location of the Questioning Heaven Academy was so high, the peaks were likely several tens of thousands of meters high.
Equivalent to mountains that are tens to hundreds of kilometers high.
The surface of the Xuantian World was flat, not spherical like Earth. With its superior air quality, one could naturally see it from afar.
On this trip, Qin Changqing brought along Tao Yao, the Purple Snow Saintess, and the girl in green, Green Autumn.
As for Lord Fengtian, Qin Changqing asked her to help him hold the fort at Wulong Mountain.
With the Master of Butterfly Cloud Peak and Lord Fengtian at Wulong Mountain, there was absolutely no need to worry about safety.
This was Qin Changqing’s first long journey, during which he passed through several domains.
For example, the domain where Monkey Wine was located, which was accessed through the eastern-northeast passage from the North Region.
This was the realm of demonic beasts and had no Immortal Gates, thus it was a land of fortune for Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Bi Hai went there to seek his chances.
Not all domains were prosperous, some were exceptionally desolate with very few mortals.
The flying boat swiftly headed towards the Questioning Heaven Academy.
After approaching the Questioning Heaven Academy by a thousand miles, the flying boat descended and hugged the ground as it flew towards the academy.
“Husband, this is the Banned Air Array. All flying boats cannot fly high after approaching the academy,
Green Autumn explained.
Qin Changqing looked around in daylight, there were no great arrays activated around the Questioning Heaven Academy. It seemed to allow foreign flying boats to enter freely.
“Husband, are you wondering why there isn’t a great array?”
Green Autumn asked.
Qin Changqing responded with a ‘hmm’.
“That’s because all the entry and exit passages of the Xuantian World are under the control of the academy. With its strength, the Sect Protection Formation is just the last line of defense.
Green Autumn elaborated.
Qin Changqing understood.
The holy lands were indeed much stronger than the First-grade Immortal Sects, with profound depths, they didn’t even need to activate their Sect Protection Formation on a regular basis.
Of course, this didn’t mean that it was easy to enter the Questioning Heaven Academy.
Qin Changqing took this flying boat and arrived without a hitch. From start to end, he didn’t encounter any checks and successfully entered the Questioning Heaven Academy.
This only served to highlight the strength of the Questioning Heaven Academy.
“Qin Changqing, welcome.
In the main hall of the Questioning Heaven Academy, a middle-aged man in his forties revealed a slight smile as he saw Qin Changqing arrive.
“Lord Long Wind, I apologize for the intrusion.”
Qin Changqing replied.
This man was unexpectedly a powerful cultivator who had passed the Tribulation stage.
After Lord Fengtian spent a long time taking charge of the North Region, the current Questioning Heaven Academy was under his rule.
Lord Long Wind seemed to be in a state of decline, his aura was strong, but Qin Changqing could still sense a hint of weakness.
However, he should be in the early part of decline. It was not a big issue for him to come out and do some activities in the meantime.
Lord Long Wind did not put on airs of a senior when dealing with Qin Changqing, but treated him as an equal.
“This is the Ask the Sky Pavilion. There is a vast collection of books inside. Apart from the books in the top floor, you can read the rest freely. For the books on the top floor, provided they do not concern classified issues, you may ask the Saintess to get them for you.
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Lord Long wind brought Qin Changqing to a pavilion.
“You may go about your business, Lord. I expect to stay here for some time.”
“Sure, if you need anything at all, feel free to ask me.”
Lord Long Wind left.
The purpose of Qin Changqing’s visit this time was for the books in the Ask the Sky Pavilion. The collection of books here was more numerous and comprehensive than those in the Profound Sky Academy.
Although the Questioning Heaven Academy wanted to win Qin Changqing over, they did it in a way that was quite pleasing. They did not cling to Qin Changqing like a piece of sticky candy. Instead, they tried their best to fulfill whatever needs he had.
“Husband, this book as well!”
Inside the Ask the Sky Pavilion, Purple Snow and Green Autumn became Qin Changqing’s assistants, constantly providing him with the books he needed.
Tao Yao remained by Qin Changqing’s side, pouring tea and serving water for him.
With her serving him, there was an air of charm in the process.
Sometimes, when it was late into the night, a tired Tao Yao would fall asleep against Qin Changqing.
She still spaced out from time to time, sometimes zoning out for quite a long while.
Purple Snow and Green Autumn both noticed her peculiar behavior, but neither asked about it.
In this manner, Qin Changqing spent more than a year in the Questioning Heaven Academy.
During this period, the Purple Snow Saintess brought back many records about immortals from the top floor of the Ask the Sky Pavilion for Qin Changqing.
Especially ones about Reincarnated Immortals, which included various rumors and the likes.
There were also some secret techniques and methods related to the Divine Soul, as well as books about memory.
Over this year-long period, Qin Changqing gained quite a lot. In the Ask the Sky Pavilion of the Questioning Heaven Academy, he found some ancient pill prescriptions, as well as incomplete ones, which might be useful for Tao Yao.
Moreover, Qin Changqing also found some secret techniques.
“Husband, deep within the academy, there’s an Ask the Sky Stele. It’s rumored to be left behind by an ancient immortal. If one is destined, they can find a lot of answers to their questions within it. Perhaps, you should take a look.”
That day, seeing Qin Changqing frowning, the Purple Snow Saintess suggested.
Qin Changqing pondered for a moment before asking Purple Snow to take him there to take a look.
This was the first time Qin Changqing had moved around within the Questioning Heaven Academy.
During this year and more, the news of Qin Changqing being at the Questioning Heaven Academy had already spread within the academy.
When Qin Changqing and the Purple Snow Saintess made their appearance, many disciples of the Questioning Heaven Academy came out to watch.
These disciples of the holy land were individually gifted geniuses.
The proportion of Heavenly Spirit Roots was extremely high.
In the holy land, there simply were many geniuses to be found at every turn.
However, these geniuses paled in comparison to Qin Changqing.
“Is he the Reincarnated Immortal?”
“He is so handsome. No wonder the Saintess has taken a liking to him!”
The disciples of the Questioning Heaven Academy who saw Qin Changqing were all very curious.
Some female disciples had their eyes light up at the sight of Qin Changqing.
Along the way, Green Autumn explained the specific usage of the Ask the Sky Stele to Qin Changqing.
Soon, under Purple Snow’s guidance, Qin Changqing arrived in front of a stele.
The stele appeared rather imposing, reaching a height of ten meters.
Much of the Questioning Heaven Academy’s disciples were gathered, wondering if Qin Changqing, the Reincarnated Immortal from the rumors, would cause a reaction from the Ask the Sky Stele.
Qin Changqing then took a step and walked forward.
The Ask the Sky Stele remained unresponsive.
Then, Qin Changqing gently placed his hand on the Ask the Sky Stele.
His Divine Consciousness also entered the stele at that moment.
With the entry of his Divine Consciousness, Qin Changqing felt as though he had entered a space of nothingness, boundless and void of anything.
According to Green Autumn’s explanation, at this moment, all Qin Changqing needed to do was to voice out the questions in his heart. If there was no response, then there was no response.
If there was a response, then he was the one meant to receive it.
