After a third of the Academy's Qi Luck was cut off from them, a new Qi Luck Dragon slowly formed; however, this one was different due to its color: pure white. After being formed, the pure white Qi Luck Dragon rapidly traveled around the world while swallowing a bunch of white lights from the bodies of all the mortals thus rapidly growing in size.

"Is that the Qi Luck Dragon associated with the concept of 'School'?

" asked one of the Elders of the Dao Opening Sect in awe. No one answered them as they were too busy marveling at the sight they were witnessing.

Suddenly, one of the Elders said:

"I'm guessing that the only time our Sect created such an achievement was when our Ancestor first created the Origin Path System.

"

All the people realized that this was indeed true. One person immediately bowed to Wang Wei who was still standing in front of the Altar.

"Thank you, Young Sect Master, for recreating the glory of our ancestors.

"

"Thank you, Young Sect Master,

" added another person. Following this, many other elders and even all the Great Elders bowed to him.

Wang Wei could guess the real reason for this gift; for so many years, the Dao Opening Sect has been relying on the Qi Luck of the Origin Path System created by the Ancestors. However, as time passed, many people feared that someday, they would no longer be blessed by it.

And this was an unnecessary worry as there are precedents to follow. Sects created by the Formation Ancestors, Array Ancestors, and so on, although they still survived to this day, many if not all of them have either started to decline, or reach a plateau in their development; they have to use their long-standing heritage to remain relevant in this world.

After the Dao Opening Sect reached the Ninth Emperor, many people have already started to notice the declining trend of the sect. But, now, there was hope for revitalization.

Wang Wei nodded as he accepted these people's gifts; he did not act like a younger generation as he knew that this was not the time to be humble. Sometimes, acting humble when deserving to be praised can appear very hypocritical.

So, he said;

"You can all get up. This is just the beginning of the rise of our Dao Opening Sect. Hopefully, one day, we will be able to spread schools to all the worlds in our community, and even to all the worlds in the Endless Void.

"

Then, the upper echelons raised their heads with excitement; they imagined what it would be like to follow the Qiyuan Emperor's step to spread their ideas and philosophies across countless planes. It would be a truly grand era.

Meanwhile, the pure white dragon finished his travels around the world, thus doubling its size. The truth of the matter was that its general size was actually quite small compared to the Qi Luck Dragon of an average Emperor Lineage with only 1 Great Emperor.

And that was because the concept of school was just created and not yet executed. The benefits and downsides of this system have not been shown yet.

So, after the pure white dragon finished its initial growth, it cut off a small section of its tail, then it rushed straight into the Dao Opening Sect, fusing with the sect's multicolored Qi Luck Dragon. As the small part of its tail, it was divided into many small parts and fused with the Qi Luck of different Emperor Lineages who participated in this plan.

Many of them sighed after seeing this. Unlike the merit, they had no say on how to divide the Qi Luck. Unfortunately, as the creator of this concept, the Dao Opening Sect is entitled to most of it--just like the Emperor Enlightening Academy was when they were first created.

Some people even slightly regretted their decision for a moment, but quickly extinguished their thoughts thinking about the current and future benefit that they received. As the concept of school is executed, the amount of merit received will keep increasing until it reaches a standard and stops. Well, even the Qi Luck will also increase.

So, after the pure white Qi Luck Dragon headed to its rightful place, the Dao Opening Sect and all these Emperor Lineages started to take action.

Countless cultivators started using their abilities to build countless schools all over the world. From the central continent, all the way to the east, west, and south. The only exception being the north.

After these schools were created, they started recruiting mortals on a large scale. As for the teachers of these mortals? Well, Wang Wei wanted to train many people before the plan was executed, but these factions wanted to do it themselves.

The reason being that it was easier for them to gather more merit, and also because it was another way for them to garner positive Karma. With positive Karma, the Heavenly Tribulations of these teachers were dramatically reduced. So, the role of teachers became a valuable commodity among the disciples of these sects.

Meanwhile, on top of Ceremonial Mountain, Wang Wei watched all of this happening in the sect's Domains through his Divine Sense, while also knowing that similar things were also happening in most Domains of the Myriad Emperor World.

Then, he sneered. All these cultivators are so blinded by the benefit of merit that they failed to see the larger plans at large. Wang Wei never liked how the civilization of this world was a mixture of very advanced and backward.

One side (cultivator) could do so many heaven-defying things like travel through space and time, while the other (mortals) could barely eat daily. So, he planned to change that. Unfortunately, this world has been like this for billions of years, so how can they easily change?

Using force is one way, and Wang Wei knew that once he became a Great Emperor, he would have the strength to do so, but that would only be counterproductive. He could foresee that as soon as he left this world, things would go back to the way they were. And the conservative nature of these cultivators might make them even become more reserved.

So, he planned to take it slow and show these people the benefits of an advanced civilization. According to Wang Wei, there are two absolute ways to convince someone to change: one is to guide them into thinking it was their own idea in the first place, or two, showing them the benefits of doing so.

So, he organized a collaboration with all these Emperor Lineages to accomplish his plans. Of course, these people do not yet know the benefit of mortals as they are too focused on acquiring merit and good karma.

Furthermore, Wang Wei still has many plans ahead. His ideal goal is to turn the Myriad Emperor World just like the Warring Kingdom World that his Qi Luck Trial took place.

However, he also knows that the complex nature of this world is far from what a Small Thousand World can compare to, so he was not in a hurry; he still had plenty of time. With the school system, all the mortals in the world will no longer be illiterate and have a basic understanding of the world.

After a few generations, they can build on the basic knowledge that they were granted, and lay a solid foundation for the future. By the time Wang Wei becomes a Great Emperor, it will become much easier to advance the level of civilization of the entire world.

…

A few days have passed, and the Emperor Enlightening Academy has temporarily suspended the Tournament.

A meeting was taking place inside the headmaster quarter. Bai Hand looked haggard, and his sage-like appearance was gone.

"What is the current situation?

" asked Bai Han with a listless look on his face.

"With the drastic decrease in Qi Luck, the cultivation increase that all teachers and students were blessed have also decreased, resulting in many people secretly complaining. And…

"

Like Fortune Dynasties, the Qi Luck of sects also blessed its members based on their position. For example, Sect Master, Great Elders, Elders, and different levels of disciples have different levels of blessings.

"And what?

" asked Bai Han.

"Many of our disciples' loyalty has been shaking up after the recent incidents. I fear that many of them have already contacted other factions in an attempt to change sides.

"

Bai Han's face became ugly after hearing this; he guessed that the situation might even be more severe than stated.

'I'm afraid it is not just the disciples, but many of the Elder Teachers. There may even be some of the people sitting inside this room.'

"You need to watch these suspected disciples clearly. And I permit you to execute anyone who is found to be a traitor. Furthermore, there is no need to worry. Even if they defected, these disciples have powerful bans on their souls so that they cannot reveal our Emperor Techniques to other factions.

"

The head of the Wisdom Eye nodded. As the person responsible for the spying agency of the Academy, he rarely has the authority to do anything without the order of the headmaster.

"How is Lin Fan?

" asked Bai Han.

"Besides showing envy towards Wan Wei, he is not that affected. It seems that his loyalty to the Academy is not a problem, for now.

"

Bai Han was relieved.

"In that case…

"

The headmaster paused midway through his sentence as he received a message through Divine Sense. His face changed for a moment before returning to normal.

He then said to all the people present:

"Excuse me, I have to attend another meeting.

"
