The old man's last words firmly stayed in Guan Yue's heart. Suddenly, Guan Yue stood up and boldly asked the old man, "Master, for the sake of developing human experience, can we learn Demon Magic, Ghost Techniques, magic, and Monster Techniques?"
The old man had a very serious expression. He looked at Guan Yue and then addressed all the students, saying, "As this student mentioned, if it is merely to enrich our human experience with these spells, to use their strengths against their weaknesses, I believe it is permissible to practice these unorthodox methods."
"However," the old man paused and then slowly continued, "we must never use these Demon Magic, magic, Ghost Techniques, or Monster Techniques against our Disciples. That would be aiding evil and is absolutely unacceptable."
In Guan Yue's heart, she believed that for the most heinous of villains, any method that could eliminate them was a good spell. But at this moment, she did not dare to argue with the old man.
Guan Yue was very self-aware; the old man held great prejudice against those "unorthodox methods." Like many so-called orthodox Disciples, he opposed Disciples learning magic and Demon Magic.
After attending the old man's class, Guan Yue gained a lot of insights. She realized that not only bloodlines could be inherited, but cultivation could also improve inheritance. Especially when one reached Senior Cultivator status, the impact of cultivation on inheritance would be even greater.
Guan Yue immediately thought of Ouyang Shaohua. If both of them continued to cultivate diligently, their descendants would be incredibly perfect! Thinking of this made Guan Yue miss Ouyang Shaohua even more.
She wondered how she was doing at Spring Blossom Academy for Female Cultivators. Was everything alright with her?
He Bi, Huangfu Jiayin, and Naijia often visited Guan Yue's dormitory, which infuriated countless boys. However, Chu Shaotian, Dugu Shalong, and Hexi Wang were very pleased; they were grateful to Guan Yue for being able to get so close to the three beauties. But now everyone called Guan Yue: Guan Tian. The three girls found it quite fitting.
For He Bi, although she was currently surrounded by boys and felt very satisfied, some boys were getting too touchy-feely; sometimes they would even rush over to kiss or hug her, which made her extremely angry. Therefore, she was also cultivating diligently now; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to deal with those lecherous advances.
Due to frequently being with He Bi, Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia also attracted the attention of many boys. They were both quite charming and became increasingly attractive girls. Compared to He Bi's voluptuous figure, they appeared more fresh and elegant. This also led to a lot of harassment from boys that left them quite troubled. Both of them sought help from Guan Yue in hopes of finding a way to make themselves less attractive.
Regarding the requests from these two junior sisters, Guan Yue could only smile wryly. However, he kept this matter in mind; if possible, making the girls slightly less attractive could reduce unnecessary troubles. He could imagine the troubles Sister He Bi was currently facing because boys' impulses were sometimes hard to control.
During this time, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and He Bi gradually became closer with Yun Yi, Hu Feng, Leng Jing, and Pingle. The seven of them surprisingly became good friends, which astonished Guan Yue because their personalities were vastly different; how could they get along so well? Unbeknownst to him, He Bi had become the leader among the seven. They would gather together and chat aimlessly until they decided to establish a sect: Gentlewoman Sect. They did not allow Guan Yue to join and only accepted female members.
Since He Bi was leading this sect as a stunning beauty, it developed rapidly. In just ten days' time, they had over seven hundred members and continued to grow stronger through recommendations from existing members. Among countless sects at Dragon Lake Academy, it began to stand out. Moreover, all seven were very enthusiastic about expanding their sect's influence; what made Guan Yue chuckle was that they had even proclaimed themselves as seven elders—the highest leadership members of Gentlewoman Sect!
Girls can be incredibly passionate! This was Guan Yue's first experience witnessing the power of girls.
What surprised Guan Yue even more was that after twenty days, their Gentlewoman Sect had grown to over ten thousand members and included three girls from Eternal Realm as well. These three Eternal Realm girls also became elders of Gentlewoman Sect; now there were ten elders in total within Gentlewoman Sect which established ten branches that began recruitment across the academy.
Thus, within less than a month since its establishment, Gentlewoman Sect became a new force at Dragon Lake Academy. Their momentum for development was incredibly strong. Guan Yue secretly marveled at it all.
He Bi smiled at Guan Yue and said, "Junior Brother, once you reach the Eternal Realm, we will invite you to be our Guardian Elder. How does that sound?"
Guan Yue chuckled, "Right now, many boys support you all. If I become the Guardian Elder, won't those boys eat me alive?"
He Bi laughed heartily, "Not at all! We have extended invitations to the boys we like. As long as they reach the Eternal Realm, they can become Guardian Elders of our Gentlewoman Sect. For example, Lu Ziang and Fang Bulian are already our Guardian Elders."
"Impressive, very visionary. Who came up with this idea?" Guan Yue truly admired them.
"Huangfu Jiayin; she is now our Chief Strategist. Our development cannot do without her insights," He Bi spoke with great admiration for Huangfu Jiayin.
Guan Yue understood the importance of this suggestion. On one hand, they did not allow boys to become members; on the other hand, they made it possible for outstanding boys to become their Guardians. This created opportunities for girls with certain goals to interact closely with excellent boys and practically secured significant external support for their Gentlewoman Sect.
This would greatly assist them in expanding the Gentlewoman Sect! Guan Yue knew that the Gentlewoman Sect would surely grow stronger. Seeing He Bi, Huangfu Jiayin, and Naijia busy and in good spirits made Guan Yue very happy as well. Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia often visited Guan Yue's dormitory to check if she had any clothes that needed washing and frequently helped her clean her room, which also deeply moved Chu Shaotian and the others.
Before long, Lu Ziang issued a directive to Guan Yue: immediately head to Putian County within the Dawson Empire to participate in the excavation of Lahong Great Sage's tomb. He also provided Guan Yue with the funding for this operation: ten White Jade Rubies.
Guan Yue gathered a few people and ultimately agreed to travel with Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Chu Shaotian, Hexi Wang, Hu Feng, and Li Xiaohui.
Now Chu Shaotian had already broken through to the Guardian Realm; only Li Xiaohui, Hexi Wang, and Guan Yue remained at the Peak of Transformation Realm. However, Guan Yue was still the leader of this operation because Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia unconditionally supported her. Hu Feng also expressed his support for Guan Yue; Li Xiaohui supported her as well due to her care for him. Chu Shaotian and Hexi Wang had no choice but to accept it. They were very impressed by Guan Yue's gambling skills and hoped her luck would help them in finding relics.
After a bit of preparation, the seven left Dragon Lake Academy and flew towards the Dawson Empire.
This was their first time leaving the academy on their own since entering Dragon Lake Academy, so they were all spirited and eager to find treasures in future ruins.
Along the way, Guan Yue paid close attention to cultivating Huangfu Jiayin's authority within the team, and Huangfu Jiayin suitably demonstrated her leadership abilities. Although the team encountered several challenges, thanks to the cooperation between Guan Yue and Huangfu Jiayin, they managed to navigate through safely and successfully entered the Dawson Empire.
Due to the ongoing war between Dawson Empire and Southern Source Empire, encountering disciples from Southern Source Empire could lead to humiliation or scolding. Therefore, Guan Yue and her group claimed to be students from Dragon Lake Academy to minimize unnecessary trouble.
That day, the seven arrived at a medium-sized city. Chu Shaotian and Hexi Wang suggested trying some delicious dishes from Dawson Empire; Hu Feng and Naijia agreed as well, expressing their desire to taste local specialties. Guan Yue led everyone into a high-end restaurant in the city since she was now quite wealthy!
Although this restaurant was very upscale in architecture, its management was average; it was noisy inside with a bustling crowd. However, amidst this clamor, Guan Yue heard quite a bit of news while Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Chu Shaotian, and other experts also caught snippets of conversations from other diners.
A table of diners was complaining:
"It seems like our Dawson Empire is in a prolonged war with Southern Source Empire. The Southern Source Empire's army is stalled while Dawson Empire's army is just watching from afar; it really is a case of no battle leading to no resolution."
"That's right, dragging this out is just making it harder for us common folks."
At another table, more than a dozen Disciples were discussing:
"Have you noticed that there are many Disciples coming to our Dawson Empire recently? Even some from Wonderland and Eternal Realm Experts have arrived. Do you know why they are here?"
"Yes, there are especially many Disciples from the Vast Empire and Southern Source Empire. I can't figure out why they came."
"Don't understand? Let me tell you, listen carefully. I heard they came for the Mother of Heaven and Earth. That's a great treasure; whoever obtains the Mother of Heaven and Earth will rule the world."
"You're full of nonsense. That's not it at all. Have you heard? An ancient tomb was discovered in our empire's Putian County, and it should be opened by our three major sects in Dawson in about twenty days. I heard there will be at least several million Disciples coming to explore the treasure. The scale is unprecedented, and even with hundreds of thousands of people inside, it won't be enough. Moreover, the tomb is extremely dangerous; entering it requires paying a heavy price."
"I see. There's an ancient tomb in Putian County? Should we go join the fun?"
"Forget it, with our level of cultivation, we wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps for others. Let's not joke with our lives; let's wait until we break through to the Guardian Realm."
At one table, there were only four male Disciples speaking very softly, but their conversation was what Guan Yue was most concerned about. Guan Yue used a whispering technique to inform Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia to pay attention to these four individuals and capture them for interrogation if possible.
"I heard that this time the excavation of the Lahong Great Sage's tomb involves Regretless Sage as well; we must track him. Because tracking him means tracking the highest core secrets of the Dawson Empire."
"Who is Regretless Sage?"
