The Supreme One

Chapter 189 Ancient Banyan Academy

Such a giant tree naturally expands the living space for all kinds of races. After it becomes three-dimensional from a flat surface, it can accommodate more lives.

When humans built cities and lived together, many other races gradually learned and got used to this model and built one city after another.

Until now, Gurong City refers to the first city built by human beings. It is also one of the thousands of cities on the huge body of the ancient banyan tree!

That’s right, the first city built by humans was built directly on it.

This was approved by Sen Gu Rong and even proposed actively, and it was also to show his absolute recognition of the independence of the human race.

Today, the size of Sengu Rong's body has reached a terrifying level that is completely unimaginable for ordinary people.

The ancient banyan tree is no longer enough to describe its vastness. Only the name of the world tree is worthy of its honorable status!

Even the entire forest of river willows is not as thick as this trunk.

Therefore, even though many monks traveled to the Ancient Banyan City, they were unable to see its entire picture.

Xia Xian's understanding of it also seemed extremely one-sided.

Naturally, he didn't know some secret things.

Just like what Master meant now, Sheng Wuya and the others could go to Gurong City with him.

It is obviously not a difficult task to simply go to Gurong City. Although the journey is very long, it is no problem to find an elder from the Sheng family to lead the way.

But with Xia Xian's thoughts, he naturally guessed the deeper meaning of Bai Mulin's words immediately.

With talent, one can enter Gurong City. Is this a screening mechanism unknown to ordinary people?

The place that these selected talented young people entered, the Ancient Banyan City, was obviously not a place known to the public.

After a sudden change of mind, Xia Xian said in surprise: "Is there a higher education school in Gurong City that caters to all human beings in the world?"

"Haha, Xiao Xian, you are really smart, but it should be said that it is the Ancient Banyan Academy, and it is not only aimed at the human race, but the talented cultivators in the whole world!"

When Xia Xian heard this, he couldn't help but show shock on his face.

The fact that there was a senior school open to all mankind was enough to shock him, but he never expected that the scale of Gurong City was so large that it was directly open to all races in the world.

After all, this is not a small world with less than trillions of intelligent life forms, but an extremely large world that is still expanding!

The number of intelligent life forms among them is simply difficult to estimate. Even in a small place like the River Willow Forest, the number of intelligent life forms is at least trillions.

The geniuses recruited in such a large number are undoubtedly a small group of the world's top geniuses. It can be said that they all have the potential to truly stand at the top of the world in the future.

To reach this state, one must at least be enlightened, right?

As for the threshold for admission, for the human race alone, judging from what the master said, it is obviously only possible to integrate the blood of a race that is on the list of all races, and that has to be high on the list.

Although the threshold seems to be low, after all, it is just the fusion of the bloodlines on the Ten Thousand Races List.

Several people around Xia Xian can meet this standard.

But you have to know that these few were accumulated out of the huge recognition base of the entire Heliu Forest.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are truly one in a billion geniuses.

With such standards as admission requirements, it seems to be worthy of being the highest-level school for the human race.

The fact that it is named after the city shows that there are probably a lot of people studying there. After all, it gathers geniuses from all over the world.

But Xia Xian suddenly thought of something, and asked with some doubt: "Then Master, if I don't have a fused bloodline, won't I be unable to meet the admission standards of Gurong Academy?"

He naturally did not doubt whether he could be admitted. After all, his master had already suggested it, so there were obviously other ways.

Bai Mulin also nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said: “Indeed, normally, the standard for admission is to integrate the bloodlines on the Ten Thousand Races List, but in addition to that, if you want to enroll, you can also be recommended.

Of course, only those who have reached the Spirit Transformation Realm are qualified to make recommendations. Your master is still a little far from reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm.

I haven’t used my mother’s recommendation, but I can’t use it because there is a third way to enter Gurong Academy.”

Having said this, Bai Mulin stopped, as if he wanted to test Xia Xian's wisdom.

Xia Xian lived up to his expectations and continued the next second after Bai Mulin stopped:

"Seekers? Is this Ancient Banyan Academy dominated by humans?"

If there is anything special about him, it is obviously his identity as a seeker of truth who does not follow the ordinary path.

However, the Tao that is sought is naturally the Tao of the human race, and it obviously has little to do with other races.

As for the fact that Gurong Academy was founded by the human race, he could easily imagine it.

However, it was indeed beyond Xia Xian's expectations that the human race could still maintain control over the Gurong Academy after so many years of development, the addition of geniuses from all races, and the intervention of forces from all races.

This is not to look down on the human race, but there is indeed a certain gap in hard power between the human race and the races on the list of all races.

At least with the strength of one race, it is still difficult to fight against the alliance of many alien races.

Even if those races are not hostile to humans, they still want more than just safety when they send their geniuses here, even if the safety is guaranteed by Sengu Rong.

Therefore, these races will naturally try to find ways to gain a certain degree of control in the Ancient Banyan Academy, and the human race, the original founder, will inevitably be the primary target.

In addition, due to racial differences, other races, in addition to the necessary spiritual power, also have resources that are only suitable for their own race or a very small number of races.

In the competition for those scarce resources, competition with other races can be said to be very rare.

But it is different for the human race, because the bloodlines they have integrated are different, and therefore the resources they need are also different. However, the resources needed by the race from which their bloodlines originate are definitely useful to human cultivators.

Such a clan directly competes with almost all other races. Even if they hold the initial control over the Ancient Banyan Academy, they will still attract overt or covert resistance from other races.

At least until the human race loses its dominance, other races will basically not give up on uniting.

And if the human race loses its dominance over the Ancient Banyan Academy, then those seekers who are opening up new paths for the human race should obviously not receive any extra care.

In other words, is it that the management structure of Gurong Academy is different from that of ordinary cities?

Although the human race cannot take the dominant position in the Ancient Banyan Academy, they may have a certain degree of autonomy.

As humans will not allow others to interfere in their own affairs, it is understandable that they accept only those who seek the truth.

Bai Mulin's words also confirmed his guess.

"Yes, it is indeed because of the identity of the seekers that the human race inner courtyard of Gurong Academy will directly recruit seekers. There is no need for any verification. It only requires the certification of recorders like your master.

Like your junior uncle, he was sent to Gurong Academy by your master as a seeker to study for a period of time, but unfortunately, he wasted time and still didn't make much of a breakthrough. "

The inner courtyard of the human race is quite interesting.

Xia Xian was originally a little worried about Gurong Academy. After all, it was a mixed bag with all kinds of races gathered together, and the relationships among them were probably extremely complicated.

If a young man like him rashly barges in, even if there are rules, he will easily get into all kinds of troubles, which will inevitably affect his study plans.

Of course, he also knew that even if there was such an inner courtyard set up specifically for the human race, with only humans in it, there might be fewer troubles, but it would be impossible to have no troubles at all.

He just hoped that there wouldn't be too much trouble. Besides, as a human being, he had lived among humans for so many years, so he naturally had more experience in dealing with humans.

I can't say it's easy, but at least it's better than dealing with races that I've never seen before, right?

Although Xia Xian had read many books, he had some understanding of other races.

But what we see in the book is just some knowledge. It is impossible to fully understand the living habits of those races and deal with them accordingly.

After all, they are all living beings, and each individual is different. How can we treat everyone with one stereotype?

Now that he had such an inner courtyard for the human race, he felt much more at ease.

Since Gurong City had what he wanted and he could go there, there seemed to be no need for him to worry about it any further.

But of course it is impossible to agree to it directly now.

It is not certain whether his three generals can be taken away.

Naturally, he would be absolutely unwilling to let an ordinary mortal like him go there alone.

Even with his current combat power, he would not necessarily be defeated against the Spiritual Pattern Realm cultivators of the races at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Races List.

But without spiritual power, his methods would be too simple, and he also relied on the explosive power brought by his physical control that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

But as for him, he was still too weak to withstand a move from an ordinary Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

If someone launches a sneak attack and doesn't kill him but only seriously injures and cripples him, he will be helpless.

Therefore, the three people who practice blood fusion can be said to be a necessity for Xia Xian when he goes out.

Of course, we can't count on them for combat effectiveness in the early stages, but at least they can act as meat shields and block knives.

After all, even if they are extremely talented, they are still in the spiritual awakening stage after the fusion of their bloodlines. Each realm requires a period of sedimentation and cultivation before they can move on to the next realm.

The improvement of cultivation may be slower, but the strengthening of the physical body will take place once the bloodline is integrated.

With the bloodline level they can fuse, even if the enhancement is only one thousandth of their original form, it is enough for them to become invincible cockroaches.

Ordinary people in the Manifestation Realm may not be able to do much to deal with them.

Of course, such physical strength is only hard enough. Whether one can fully develop and utilize the power depends on the individual.
