Due to Jing Nation's current national strength, the Northern Ming Sovereign and his envoys showed respect towards the Empress of Jing Nation and the chief enshrined at Tianji Pavilion, but they had no intention of contributing to the establishnt of Lanyan Royal School.
Their respect for Jing Nation stemd from its power. Besides respect, they feared Jing Nation even more. Including the Northern Ming Sovereign, their greatest fear was that Jing Nation's establishnt of Lanyan Royal School was rely a ruse, with the real goal being to use this opportunity to annex other dynasties. With Jing Nation's current strength, they were capable of doing so.
At the end of the gathering, the Northern Ming Sovereign did not sign his country's na on the Royal School monunt. Similarly, so other dynasties with similar thoughts also refrained from signing.
"Shall we leave like this? Will Jing Nation bla us?"
"With Jing Nation's current strength, it would be as easy as turning over our hands if they wanted to manipulate us. If Jing Nation really does sothing, what should we do?"
Mainly led by the Northern Ming Dynasty, several smaller dynasties discussed privately after leaving Jing Nation. Even after leaving, they were still sowhat worried.
"No need to worry!"
"From what we can see now, Jing Nation still cares a lot about its reputation and would never do sothing so unprovoked."
"We just need to silently develop our national strength and avoid getting involved in this ss."
"In a few years, those dynasties that signed their nas will regret it. How could there be a pie falling from the sky? It's just a poison prepared in advance by Jing Nation. Those dynasties that signed their nas will eventually reap what they sow."
The Northern Ming Sovereign sighed deeply.
The sovereigns of other dynasties found his words reasonable and felt relieved about their decisions. Those dynasties that signed their nas were blinded by imdiate interests and failed to see the greedy gaze behind them. They would eventually pay the price.
...
In the capital city of Jing Nation, on the city wall.
Gu Lan looked towards the direction where the borders lay. He didn't feel any trouble about those who left; he allowed those sovereigns to depart as they pleased.
He established Lanyan Royal School to make reasonable use of talents gathered from the Immortal and Demon Realms, while also laying a deeper foundation for the mortal realm.
Once the Great Array of the Mortal Realm was completed, there would be greater changes in the mortal realm, making it easier for mortal cultivators to practice.
Even if it couldn't match the Immortal or Demon Realms, it would far surpass other mortal realms.
In this matter, the scale had to be grand.
Gu Lan believed that with the resources at his disposal, Lanyan Royal School would surely prosper like never before.
At this mont, Li Xiong arrived with a group of followers.
"My lord, other dynasties' cultivators have already begun to inquire about the address of Lanyan Royal School. Many cultivators have also begun to settle down in the Capital City."
Li Xiong reported.
"So soon?"
Gu Lan pondered for a mont, then said:
"Tell them that Lanyan Royal School will be built on Tianqiong Mountain."
"Mortal cultivators should look up to the sky and guard the mortal world!"
Li Xiong nodded.
He knew that Lanyan Royal School would be built near the Capital City of Jing Nation, and he had considered Tianqiong Mountain, but he couldn't say anything as inspiring.
The lord was indeed the lord, not only handso and wealthy, but also eloquent.
There was still a long way to go for himself to get closer to the lord!
At this mont, Gu Lan gazed at the sky with a suddenly serious expression.
"Li Xiong!"
"The human path is full of vicissitudes!"
"In the future, there will be a tough battle ahead. The enemy is very strong. Are you prepared?"
Li Xiong trembled slightly, feeling overwheld by these words.
He knew that his lord's plans were never about dividing the benefits of the mortal realm, but about deeper considerations.
When he heard "the human path is full of vicissitudes," the hidden bloodthirst in Li Xiong's heart was quietly awakened.
So it turns out that all the actions taken by Misty Rain Building's assassins were for this human path.
So it turns out that assassins can also follow the path of righteousness!
"My lord!"
"Only death!"
"From top to bottom of Misty Rain Building, we are ready!"
Li Xiong had tears in the corners of his eyes.
At this mont, he could finally proudly tell the world that as the master of Misty Rain Building, he wasn't blinded by money but was instead protecting the lives of all under heaven.
Gu Lan heard this and patted Li Xiong on the shoulder.
He didn't say anything further, just took out a Storage Ring filled with various spirit pills and dicinal herbs from the Immortal Realm. These spirit pills and dicinal herbs were enough for Misty Rain Building to cultivate a group of experts below the Emperor Realm within ten years.
...
Half a year later, Lanyan Royal School officially opened. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
Cultivators from various dynasties enrolled one after another. At the entrance of the Royal School, they saw a towering monunt inscribed not only with the nas of various countries but also with seven characters handwritten by Gu Lan:
"The human path is full of vicissitudes!"
The aning of vicissitudes in the calligraphy was overwhelming, stirring people's hearts. Besides this, it also contained countless profound martial dao insights.
Many cultivators hadn't even entered the school yet but had already comprehended profound truths from the monunt. There was even a cultivator from a small country who directly broke through to a higher realm.
And this was just the beginning.
The resources within Lanyan Royal School exceeded the imagination of cultivators worldwide. Here, there was no distinction between high and low status. As long as you wanted to learn, all resources would be open to you. As long as you worked hard, even if your talent was average, you still had a chance to obtain opportunities.
Countless enrolled cultivators made great progress in less than a month at Lanyan Royal School, learning nurous secret techniques and acquiring powerful treasures. So cultivators returned after completing their studies, returning to their own dynasties and subduing many evil demons and outsiders, greatly enhancing the reputation of Lanyan Royal School.
For a while, the fa of Lanyan Royal School spread throughout the mortal realm.
"Have you heard? Lanyan Royal School actually has Imperial Realm experts lecturing every day! Just yesterday, a cultivator from a small country who just turned twelve broke through to the King Stage. It's incredible!"
"Is that all? Now within Lanyan Royal School, there are plenty of King Stage cultivators under sixteen years old."
"The students there can get whatever resources they want. Cultivation is as easy as studying. They see progress every day. It's so enviable!"
"Alas! Our dynasty was blinded by imdiate interests back then and didn't sign our na at that grand gathering. Now, even though I'm qualified, I can't enter Lanyan Royal School."
"These days, I've already distanced myself from my dynasty's identity. It's so hard to obtain Jing Nation citizenship. I'm planning to find a way to beco a citizen of the Chiyang Dynasty."
In every corner and among various circles, as long as they were young cultivators, everyone was trying their best to find ways to study at Lanyan Royal School.
As for those countries that didn't sign their nas on the monunt of Lanyan Royal School at the ti, they had long regretted their decisions upon seeing the grandeur of the school. Compared to the vague and elusive threat posed by the great nations, Lanyan Royal School now offered tangible benefits.
No matter how ruthless those cultivators were, they had ultimately left their own dynasties. If they could beco stronger, they could also increase their national strength.
Now, the cultivators of their own dynasties couldn't enter Lanyan Royal School, and they were leaving one after another. Those dynasties hadn't been swallowed by Jing Nation, but they had already lost a lot of national strength.
"If people should follow the righteous path, so should dynasties, hahaha!"
Many cultivators used this phrase to mock those dynasties that hadn't signed their nas on the monunt of Lanyan Royal School.
