553: Arriving at the Star Point Academy
Shen Tianxing was quite surprised. Dianxing Academy's current display made it seem like they were preparing for a major confrontation, with so many Golden Body Realm Cultivators appearing. It was clear that almost all of their high-ranking officials had arrived.
Moreover, judging by their attitude, they were quite polite to him, unlike other Sects that treated him as if facing a formidable enemy.
Shen Tianxing was quite satisfied with this attitude.
"You are all too kind."
Shen Tianxing's voice was also very amiable. After all, he and Dianxing Academy had some ties, and there was no animosity between them, so their first interaction was naturally very smooth.
Buzz!
As soon as Shen Tianxing finished speaking, a flash of light appeared not far away. Under everyone's gaze, a beautiful figure emerged before them all.
"It's the Academy Master, greetings, Academy Master!"
"Greetings, Academy Master!"
The person who arrived was Liu Ruqing, dressed in a black robe that exuded a sense of mysterious grandeur. Her exquisite Face held a hint of cold arrogance, and her eyes sparkled like stars, making anyone who looked into them lose themselves.
Liu Ruqing nodded slightly to the bowing high-ranking officials, then turned her gaze towards Shen Tianxing and Yan Yuzhu.
"What a handsome young man, and this woman... so beautiful. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a goddess descended to the mortal Realm."
With just a brief glance, Liu Ruqing was astonished by the appearances of Shen Tianxing and Yan Yuzhu.
Even she, who prided herself on her unparalleled beauty, felt somewhat overshadowed in front of Yan Yuzhu.
And Shen Tianxing?
He gave her the feeling of being as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, unfathomable. She couldn't discern his true depth with a single look!
This discovery astonished her even more. She was an Immortal Realm existence, and for someone she couldn't see through, it was clear how deeply Shen Tianxing was hiding his power.
"Mr. Shen, Liu Ruqing pays her respects."
Liu Ruqing performed an Academy Etiquette, which was the highest form of welcome for an honored guest.
Shen Tianxing looked at Liu Ruqing with some surprise. He had originally thought that for an Immortal Great Sect like Dianxing Academy, the crucial position of Academy Master would surely be held by a highly respected and most powerful Cultivator.
He hadn't expected the Academy Master to be a stunning beauty who didn't appear to be very old!
This was different from the Sect Masters of other Sects in the Four Domains.
However, Liu Ruqing's ability to hold this position naturally stemmed from her own strength!
With Shen Tianxing's power, he could tell at a glance that Liu Ruqing had already entered the second stage of the Immortal Realm, making her stronger than many older generation experts from Immortal Great Sects!
To Cultivate to this level at such a young age indicated that her talent must be extraordinary.
All these high-ranking officials were inferior in power to Liu Ruqing, which demonstrated her formidable capabilities.
"To be personally welcomed by the Academy Master, This Official Shen feels greatly honored."
Liu Ruqing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, this is not the place to talk. Please come inside with me."
"Miss Yan, please!"
Liu Ruqing was very considerate, not only focusing on Shen Tianxing but also taking into account the person beside him.
Moreover, she paid considerable attention to Yan Yuzhu.
She had only glanced at her before, but now, seeing Yan Yuzhu again, a look of surprise arose in her heart.
"Golden Body Ninth Stage Peak? Her power has advanced so quickly!"
Liu Ruqing was well aware of the background and Cultivation of the people around Shen Tianxing.
This was mainly due to Liu Xianyun, and as her elder sister, she naturally paid more attention.
The reason for her surprise was that half a year ago, Yan Yuzhu was only at the Golden Body Third Stage Peak, a Realm lower than Liu Xianyun.
Yet, in just half a year, she had surprisingly caught up and directly reached the Peak of the Golden Body Realm!
One must know that Liu Xianyun's talent was extraordinary, and she had even relied on the Golden Summit Immortal Palace to reach the Golden Body Eighth Stage Peak in half a year.
And Yan Yuzhu?
Had she really just been traveling and training with Shen Tianxing for half a year?
When did training become so effective!
Liu Ruqing found it inconceivable and could only attribute all of this to Yan Yuzhu's talent.
"Academy Master, please!"
Shen Tianxing and Yan Yuzhu had no idea that so many thoughts had flashed through Liu Ruqing's mind in those few brief moments.
Dianxing Academy was so polite, so they naturally returned the courtesy.
The group, led by Liu Ruqing, walked towards the Academy.
The eight gates of the Academy's main entrance were open. According to Dianxing Academy's standards, this was only done to welcome the most honored guests.
Moreover, for many years, all eight gates had never been opened at the same time!
At most, when the Three Saints of the Golden Crow visited, six of the main gates were opened, but the two central bronze gates had never been opened.
This clearly showed how much importance Liu Ruqing placed on Shen Tianxing.
As the group of high-ranking officials entered the Academy, the Academy's students and Cultivators from various Domains watching from afar felt their emotions surge like a tide, unable to calm down for a long time.
"My goodness, even the Academy Master, who had been in seclusion for ten years, has come out? Shen Tianxing has so much Face!"
"That's right, it's rumored that the eight gates of the Academy have never been fully opened. Not even the Three Saints of the Golden Crow were deemed worthy, but now they've been opened for Shen Tianxing. If this were in the past, it would be unbelievable, but now, who would dare say Shen Tianxing is not worthy?"
"These instructors of our Academy rarely appear on ordinary days, but this time they all showed up, and it seems Shen Tianxing is getting along very well with them. It looks like they won't be causing us any trouble."
"Hehe, you're thinking too early, aren't you? Shen Tianxing said he would sweep through the Five Domains. Why should the other Three Domains be flattened, but your Dianxing Academy be an exception? I think you shouldn't be happy too soon."
"Boy, what are you talking about? Our Academy has always been benevolent..."
"Bah! Your Academy is benevolent? Which Cultivator from an Immortal Great Sect in the Five Domains is benevolent? In a world where the strong reign supreme, what benevolence are you talking about?"
The discussions outside naturally didn't reach Shen Tianxing's ears, but some high-ranking officials did pay attention.
However, no one was bothering with them at the moment.
The students outside the Academy's central gate and other Cultivators from the Five Domains started arguing, but no one dared to fight at the main entrance of Dianxing Academy.
To fight here?
Only someone with a broken mind would do that.
These Academy students, despite appearing refined on normal days, were not to be trifled with once they got into a fight!
Otherwise, why would Cultivators from Dianxing Academy receive different treatment when they went to the other Four Domains?
It was precisely because their power was strong enough.
At this time, Shen Tianxing also didn't suggest meeting the girls, as all the high-ranking officials of Dianxing Academy, including the Academy Master, had come to welcome him. It wouldn't do if he didn't even give them this much Face.
Everyone followed Academy Master Liu Ruqing to the lakeside of the Academy, where there was a palace specifically for receiving honored guests, facing the lake, which greatly improved one's mood.
