Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102 - Mastering the Hundred Scholar

On the podium, Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed. Although that Dao lecture earlier was aimed at the crowd, he had also gained something from it as well.

He looked at the conjurations around him, secretly amazed.

“It looks like I’ve caused quite the commotion this time.”

Then, he looked at the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram before him quietly.

Unlike the other conjurations, Chu Kuangren had a hunch that he could control the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram and channel its power.

With a thought from his mind, the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram gradually dispersed.

The remaining conjurations slowly disappeared too.

However, Chu Kuangren had a strange feeling that he could make the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram appear whenever he wished for his own use.

“Interesting. It looks like I’ve gained a lot from giving this lecture.” Chu Kuangren smiled happily.

After that, he announced to the crowd. “This marks the end of my lecture. I’ll give the same lecture three months from now.”

He got up and left after saying that.

Everyone quickly got up and bowed to him.

“Thank you for this lecture, Master Chu!”

“Master Chu, it’s a pleasure to learn from you!”

The other Masters from the academy had also stood up and bowed to Chu Kuangren. Even the Dean bowed to Chu Kuangren in his heart.

He mumbled while looking at Chu Kuangren leaving. “It seems like my academy is going to have another Holy Late Teacher in this era.”

Somewhere far away, the Immortals who listened to Chu Kuangren’s lecture with their Immortal Consciousness fell silent. Then, they bowed in the direction of the academy.

They, too, had benefited greatly from Chu Kuangren’s lecture this time.

He truly deserved it.

Everyone also got more excited about the coming lecture that would be held three months later.

Inside the Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren began to research the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram as soon as he returned to his quarters.

Conjurations were a form of Dao manifestation.

However, they could sometimes serve as the source of a cultivator’s strength. A long time ago, Chu Kuangren gained quite a few of them during his cultivation journey.

As of now, the conjurations he possessed have increased.

Most of them came along with the various Immortal Physiques that he acquired.

However, those conjurations were not the same level as the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram. They could not even compare to it.

To put it simply, one was like coal while the other was like a polished diamond.

Both of them were essentially similar, yet the latter was many times more valuable.

“The Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram only appears when I’m giving a Dao lecture. If I want to fully master it, it seems I’ll have to study it further,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Before the next lecture, Chu Kuangren was busy researching the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram. He would also go through the Moral Scripture a few times.

Three months later, inside Chu Kuangren’s residence, a burst of white light emerged as a mysterious Daoist Rhyme manifested. Several humanoid apparitions soon appeared in the void.

Some were holding scripture scrolls and teaching rulers, and some were even armed with weapons…

Those apparitions were the Hundred Scholars Assemblage.

Each apparition represented a path of cultivation for the human race.

“I can finally fully control it.”

Chu Kuangren smiled with satisfaction. After three months of research, he has finally gained full control over the Hundred Scholar Assemblage Diagram.

The conjuration would benefit him tremendously, and it could be regarded as one of his trump cards.

“It’s time for the lecture.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.

After three months, he stood on the podium once more.

This time, not a single seat in the crowd was empty. Chu Kuangren even noticed several Immortal Consciousnesses peeking in from the distance, but he simply ignored them.

“Greetings, Master Chu.”

Everyone quickly stood up and greeted Chu Kuangren with a bow.

“Let’s begin.”

Chu Kuangren nodded before he started to give his Dao lecture.

Following a roaring boom in the sky, his lecture began. Daoist chimes reverberated in the air as golden lotuses bloomed everywhere. The surrounding conjurations were just as magnificent as before.

Although that was not the first time everyone saw them, they were still amazed and shocked by it.

This time, Chu Kuangren’s lecture lasted a little longer.

Chu Kuangren repeated his lecture several times.

Nevertheless, everyone was still fascinated as they listened, having benefited a lot from it.

After the lecture ended, Chu Kuangren left.

…

Boom!

Somewhere inside the Honorable Yokai Hall, a powerful burst of aura suddenly erupted. Inside a towering ancient tree, a young man in golden robes suddenly opened his eyes.

That man was the Yokai Hall’s Crown Prince, Jin Diyi!

“I’ve finally become a Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal!” Jin Diyi murmured.

A golden fiery light flashed across his eyes as a golden flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

The temperature of the flame was so high that the surrounding void started to distort and crumble due to its heat.

“I’ve fully mastered this Divine Golden Crow Flame, and with the five Wills of Immortal World, I’m now stronger than ever!”

“As of now, I’m finally strong enough to fight Chu Kuangren. No, I can even surpass him!” Jin Diyi took a deep breath as his eyes lit up with arrogant battle intent.

After a while, he calmed down. “Although I’m confident now, Chu Kuangren’s strength is not to be taken lightly. If I want to defeat him, I have to prepare as best as I can.”

He then took out a few jade scrolls.

All sorts of information relating to Chu Kuangren were recorded in those jade scrolls. Most of them contained his cultivation techniques and battle recordings.

Jin Diyi has been studying them all these years.

“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”

“Chu Kuangren, I’m almost done studying all your techniques. The next time we meet, it’ll be your defeat!”

…

Inside the Hundred Academy, a few months have passed since Chu Kuangren’s second lecture.

During that time, he did not give any lectures. Instead, he was focused on guiding Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and Lil Fox in their cultivation.

They had made tremendous progress under his tutelage.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Two figures were sparring in the air.

It was Lan Yu and Shang Honghua.

The two of them were sparring intensely.

If anyone were to see those two women, they would surely be shocked. That was because both of them had reached the Earthen Immortal Realm.

“Lan Yu, your Radiant War Immortal Physique is just too powerful. If I don’t go full out, I won’t be able to fight against it.”

Shang Honghua put away her spear and said with admiration.

“You’re not too bad yourself either.”

“I still have a long way to go compared to you. I can sense that I’m almost done fully comprehending the will of the Immortal World inside me, and it’ll be hard for me to progress after this,” Shag Honghua said frustratingly. She knew full well that she could improve that much because of the will of the Immortal World Will inside her.

If she did not possess that, it would be hard for her to improve that quickly.

“Even without the will of the Immortal World, you’re a very talented person. The only reason you can reach this point is mostly contributed by your hard work, you know,” Lan Yu said.

After that, the two of them returned to Chu Kuangren’s residence.

Lil Fox and Chu Hong were playing around inside the courtyard. Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren and He Yun were preparing a few ingredients on the side, seemingly to refine a pill.

Now that he had nothing to do, Chu Kuangren had been researching the Four Supportive Dao. Since he had reached a bottleneck on formations, his knowledge and skills in runes, alchemy, and weaponsmithing still had a long way to go.

“Oh, hello, Honghua. I just happen to have something for you,” said Chu Kuangren as he took out a jade scroll.

“What is this?”

Shang Honghua was a little surprised.

She took the jade scroll. The moment she mobilized her thoughts, countless mysterious words immediately appeared in her mind, turning into an Immortal Scripture.

‘The Divine Nine Wind Fury Scripture!’
