Chapter 529 Hongmeng College
Since Yun Yao was canonized as the "Master of Hongmeng Sword" by the Heavenly Dao and joined hands with Chu Mochen to open a new era in the world of cultivation, she has not been intoxicated by this supreme glory. She always has a greater ideal in her heart - to pass on this new knowledge of cultivation, so that all cultivators in the world can touch a higher level of power. At the same time, she also hopes to cultivate more outstanding talents for this world and protect this hard-won peace and prosperity.
Therefore, Yun Yao decided to establish an unprecedented academy, which she named "Hongmeng College". As soon as this idea was proposed, it received full support from Chu Mochen. The two knew that although traditional cultivation sects have their own strengths, their teaching methods are often old-fashioned and conservative, and they are bound by the views of the sects. The knowledge inheritance is scattered and lacks systematization. The Hongmeng College they want to build will break these shackles, integrate modern educational concepts with a new cultivation system, and open up a new path for cultivating strong people.
The process of preparing for the academy was complicated and arduous. The first step was to select a site. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers and finally chose a place with aura and spiritual veins. This place is located at the intersection of many major forces, which is convenient for absorbing talents from all sides and implies that the academy will transcend the disputes between sects and be neutral and tolerant. The academy was built next to an ancient spiritual peak, which is towering into the clouds and surrounded by clouds and mist, just like a fairyland on earth. Yun Yao used the "Qiankun Creation Array" rewarded by the system to cleverly arrange this mountain range, making the circulation of spiritual energy smoother. He also set up concealment and defense arrays around it to ensure the safety of the academy.
The architectural style of the college is unique, with simple and elegant pavilions and palaces, which show the respect of cultivators for tradition; and it also incorporates the practical and efficient elements of modern architecture in Yun Yao's memory. The main teaching building "Hongmeng Hall" is majestic and magnificent. The top of the hall is inlaid with spiritual crystals that can gather the power of the stars. At night, the light is bright, as if the starry sky has descended to the world. The book collection pavilion "Lingyun Pavilion" is made of a rare spiritual wood. This spiritual wood has the characteristics of absorbing spiritual energy, preventing insects and moisture, and can perfectly preserve various precious books.
The enrollment of the academy is even more unconventional. Yun Yao abandoned the traditional method of selecting students based on their birth and qualifications. She issued a "Hongmeng Edict" to the entire cultivation world through the system: no matter their birth or qualifications, as long as they have the passion and persistence to cultivate, they can sign up for the entrance examination. This edict is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves in the cultivation world. For a time, countless young people came from all corners with their dreams in mind.
The content of the assessment is also unique. Yunyao draws on the diversified evaluation system of modern education and sets up tests on spiritual roots, comprehension, perseverance, morality and other aspects. Among them, one level requires candidates to enter a maze forest constructed by "illusionary spiritual plants". The forest is full of various temptations and crises. Candidates need to stick to their original intentions and find a way out in it, so as to test their perseverance and morality. Another level uses special spiritual pattern formations to stimulate candidates' perception of cultivation knowledge and observe whether they can understand and apply some basic spiritual formation principles in a short period of time.
Among the many candidates, a young man named Ling Feng stood out. He was born in poverty, had mediocre spiritual roots, and had repeatedly failed in the previous sect selections. But Ling Feng's passion for cultivation never died out. With his unyielding tenacity, he overcame all obstacles and passed the tests. Yun Yao was impressed by his perseverance and made an exception to admit him to the academy. This decision caused a lot of controversy when the academy was first established, but Yun Yao firmly believed that as long as it was properly cultivated, every seed could bloom.
After admission, the course was set up. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen carefully arranged a series of unique courses based on their own practice experience and the vast amount of knowledge provided by the system.
In the swordsmanship course, they abandoned the traditional sword cultivation teaching that only pursued sharp moves, and instead emphasized the cultivation of "sword intention" and "state of mind". Yun Yao taught the class in person. She held the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao Sword and demonstrated how to use the sword as a medium to comprehend the way of heaven and earth. She told the students that the highest realm of sword cultivation is not simply invincible sword moves, but the ability to integrate one's own will and understanding of heaven and earth into each sword, achieving the unity of man and sword. In class, she guided the students to close their eyes and meditate, feel the flow of spiritual energy around them, and try to use the sword intention to guide the spiritual energy so that it becomes an extension of their own power.
The formation training course is equally exciting. Chu Mochen teaches students the essence of formations based on his research on various strange formations in ancient books and his own experience accumulated in actual combat. He not only explains traditional defense and attack formations, but also introduces Yun Yao's modern mathematical knowledge, so that students can learn to use precise calculations to arrange more sophisticated and complex formations. In the practical class, students work in groups and try to use what they have learned in a simulated battlefield environment to construct a comprehensive formation that can both resist foreign enemies and increase their own strength.
The alchemy course is also unique. Yun Yao knows that the importance of elixirs to cultivators is like that of food and grass to the army. She exchanged various rare elixir recipes from the system and taught students how to identify spiritual plants, master the temperature, and control the efficacy of medicine. Unlike traditional alchemy, she encourages students to innovate boldly and try to combine spiritual plants with different properties to refine elixirs with new effects. The college has also set up a special alchemy laboratory equipped with various advanced alchemy instruments. These instruments are improved based on modern chemical experimental instruments and can more accurately control various parameters in the alchemy process.
As time went by, Hongmeng College gradually became famous. Class after class of students graduated from here. They took what they learned from the college and went to every corner of the cultivation world, becoming an emerging force that should not be underestimated. Some students relied on their superb sword skills to challenge the powerful demons and protect the peace of one side; some students used wonderful formations to help their families or sects resist foreign enemies and improve their overall strength; and some students became alchemy masters because they refined high-quality pills and were sought after by all parties.
A positive, united and helpful atmosphere has also been formed within the academy. Students of different backgrounds and talents learn from each other and grow together here. Ling Feng, the boy who was once considered mediocre, gradually emerged under the careful training of the academy. With his unique understanding of the sword, he created a set of swordsmanship of his own, named "Ling Feng Po Xiao Sword", which shined in the academy's martial arts competition and became a role model for his younger classmates.
In order to further summarize and inherit the teaching achievements of the academy, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to jointly compile a book called "Hongmeng Cultivation Canon". This canon covers everything from the basic cultivation of spiritual roots and the introduction to the techniques to the advanced essence of swordsmanship, formations, and alchemy, as well as the practical experience accumulated by the two in previous battles and adventures. The compilation process took several years, and the two studied day and night, repeatedly considering every knowledge point and every case, striving to make it easy to understand.
On the day the ceremony was completed, Yun Yao personally recorded it into a special spiritual jade slip and distributed it to each student. These spiritual jade slips can not only store a large amount of information, but also have intelligent functions such as automatic demonstration and answering questions, making it convenient for students to learn anytime and anywhere. The publication of "Hongmeng Cultivation Canon" is like a beacon in the world of cultivation, illuminating the way forward for countless cultivators and becoming a classic work for later generations to study the method of cultivation.
The establishment of Hongmeng College not only cultivated a large number of talents for the cultivation world, but also promoted the reform and development of the entire cultivation system. It witnessed the wisdom and responsibility of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, and also injected endless vitality into this world full of fantasy, allowing people to see a brighter and more diverse future.
