Chapter 6070, Main Hall
by SilavinAuthor: Silavin
“Eh? We are going to school now?” A girl questioned, uncertain if she heard correctly.
“Yeah, why do we have to go to school?” It was a boy that questioned this time.
These two had seen the announcement in the sky. Naturally, deducing the age range and who was setting it up, they naturally came to the conclusion that they would be tossed into the academy.
However, this also did not make any sense to them, as throughout their cultivation journey, they did not really need anyone to serve as their Master. The way they cultivated was far too different from others, and they technically had no Master to speak of. As for pure knowledge, like history and language, they had their Mothers, ’Aunts’ and ‘Uncles’ to teach them. So, was going to High Heaven Academy really necessary?
“Oldest Brother, Oldest Sister, you don’t want to go to school?” An innocent voice played out from the side. After all, if the boy and girl were to go to school with her, they would certainly be able to meet more often, no?
“No… it’s just…” Yang Ji soon found himself unable to explain… If it did, it would be a little too much. The same could be said for Yang Xu.
“These two simply refuse to be shackled by the bounds of mediocrity, little one. After all, for existences of their caliber, descending to the level of the commons would merely impede their brilliance.” A womanly voice casually stated, as though it was a matter of fact. Naturally, as though she could see through Yang Ling’s worries, she added before the little girl got teary-eyed.
“But this sentiment applies to you as well. Such a common establishment would do nothing in polishing the raw precious jewel that is yourself.” The Heavenly Demon Queen added, as she turned towards the little girl and stated.
The children had already left the Recalling Dreams Pavilion, returning back to Starry Sky Palace when the sky lit up with words.
After their quiet meal, their Mother Su Yan had received a notice and had to rush out, so she quickly sent the children back home first using Space Principles. Through this one meal, it also seemed as if she had gained a little more trust in the Heavenly Demon Queen–at least enough to leave her with the children unattended to.
At the time, the children could not help but notice how their Aunt Qiu Yi Meng was getting a little excited as she moved with their Mother to go somewhere else. Then, before they knew it, they were transported back home and the sky lit up.
They naturally knew that this whole episode had something to do with them, since they perfectly fit in the age range and were part of High Heaven Palace. Not to mention, their Father would be overseeing the whole High Heaven Academy. It would be strange for them not to be forced to enroll at this point, since their Father was in such a post.
Also, with their Father overseeing the place, certainly, escape was impossible…
It was already hard enough to get out and not be caught by their Mothers, but their Father? Forget about it.
Their feelings were in great contrast to Yang Ling, who looked forward to spending more time with everyone. After all, if their Father had to stay in one place, would that not mean she would have more opportunity to meet him? Furthermore, there were going to be classes besides cultivation. Surely she would be able to join Yang Ji and Yang Xu in those, right?
As for the Heavenly Demon Queen, such a facility seems interesting as to find out the situation of the world here. But ultimately, useless overall. In her view, rather than limit the children with those of inferior knowledge, these adults might as well seek the truth of the world.
“Oh?”
It was then that their Sect Token started to vibrate.
These Sect Tokens were relatively small, about the size of a thumb. They were made of material that resembled jade and contained a trace of their Divine Sense and that of the Palace Master. For many, these tokens hung by their waist. Some place them in their chest pocket or create a necklace out of them. Nevertheless, these tokens could not be forged without the Palace Master’s permission.
They served as identity plates as well as communication devices in the 3,000 Worlds. Though, communication was only limited to within the Sect.
The three sent their Divine Sense into the Token to receive the message and they all had strange looks on their faces.
“All Disciples are to gather. A massive task is about to be issued by the Palace Master.” Yang Ji read it out loud, since the Heavenly Demon Queen would not be able to read it.
“En, there should not be a place for the High Heaven Academy yet. So, Father must be asking for help.” Yang Xu stated her deduction.
“Then, we must definitely help, right?” Yang Ji said as there was a sparkle in his eyes.
“Of course.” Yang Xu similarly opened her eyes wider at those words, which contain another meaning.
“Given your daily confinement to that locale, one ought to construct accommodations befitting oneself, no?” The Heavenly Demon Queen seems to have gotten the gist of it and fully agreed with their thoughts.
“Let’s go!” As for Yang Ling, she just saw this as something interesting to do with her Siblings. “Oldest Brother, are we going to call the others?”
“Hmm… why not. Might as well gather everyone and go to the Main Hall.” Yang Ji gave a nod and he grabbed Yang Ling’s hand, teleporting away the instant he did so.
As for Yang Xu and the Heavenly Demon Queen, they could easily sense the Space Rift Yang Ji tore open and transverse through it themselves. Though, they certainly would have preferred it if he did not leave them out like that.
…
The Main Hall of High Heaven Palace was a unique space that was no different from an Independent World. The interior was far larger than its exterior, and it could house millions of Disciples. There were even private rooms in the Main Hall, in case they have people that wish to keep their presence unknown.
Initially, Yang Kai wanted a simple Hall, but when practicing the Dao of Artifact Refining on a building, he went a little overboard. It could be said that for an entire year, he did not even see his Wives and was holded up creating this Main Hall, with multiple functions.
Seeing the stage from ten kilometres was hard for those with weaker cultivation, right? No problem, Yang Kai came up with screens and speakers by focusing on the Dao of Sound and the Dao of Light.
Was it not a waste for this huge space to only be used as a hall where people gathered to be announced?
No problem, why not make it into an Auction house from time to time as well?
With such ideas that kept popping up, Yang Kai could have been done within a month, but he kept adding functions that eventually stretched the project to a year.
Typically, his Wives would not mind since secluded cultivation itself might take decades. However, some were pregnant at the time, and even if they did not reprimand him for being so engrossed in something, his Mother certainly would.
Currently, in this overdone Main Hall, millions of Disciples were seated comfortably, awaiting for the Palace Master to appear.
There were a mix of expressions on their faces, as some of the younger ones who fit within the age range were wondering if they would be allocated to High Heaven Academy instead of sticking with their current Master in High Heaven Palace. There were also those older, who were not impacted by this new news, who simply wore solemn expressions. The oddest ones were probably couples with children of their own, who were wondering if their children would be placed in High Heaven Palace or High Heaven Academy.
Up on stage, the Elders and those above were already there like: Hua Qing Si, Bian Yu Qing, Yu Chang Dao, Nanmen Da Jun, Zhao Ya, Zhao Ye Bai, Xu Yi and etc.
Even some of the Palace Mistresses were already seated like Su Yan, Xia Ning Chang, Zhu Qing, Qu Hua Chang and Tao Ling Wan.
Their children, in the meantime, were placed in one of those private rooms.
It had to be mentioned that even Yang Hao, who was in secluded cultivation, was called out for this gathering. After all, this whole event also concerned him, so he too needed to be present. In fact, Zhu Qing, his Biological Mother, had specifically set out to call him over before the rest. So, by the time Xia Ning Chang had moved to gather all the children into this room, Yang Hao was already here.
“Ah! Yang Hao, long time no see!” Yang Ji immediately exclaimed after seeing his Little Brother for so long.
“Oh? You’ve grown taller.” Yang Xu next spoke up.
“Big Brother Hao.” Yang Ling greeted.
Meanwhile, some of the other children hesitated a little before greeting him. “Big Brother Hao…”
Yang Hao was the third child, so he grew up with Yang Ji and Yang Xu. In a way, they were quite used to his cold and aloof demeanour, which was quite an interesting contrast to his Mother, who was quite fiery and passionate. Though to be fair, his coldness was actually due to how his mind only focuses on one thing at a time, and he was actually pretty absent minded most of the time.
This was something obvious to Yang Ji and Yang Xu, but to the others, who rarely see him because of how often he spent in secluded cultivation, along with his quite thick eyebrows and never smiling face, he just seems fierce.
“Geez. Smile a little, will you?” Yang Ji rolled his eyes and he moved over to pad Yang Hao on the back.
However, all he received was an ‘En’, and a smile that seemed really forced due to how little Yang Hao did it.
“That’s better. So how far are you now?” Yang Ji asked, though admittedly, that smile had probably caused a few of their Siblings to step away some more.
“Still at the Saint King Realm… a little more before the Origin Returning Realm… Big Brother how…” Yang Hao stated, a little deflated. But before he could say more, the screen in front of everyone flashed and a few familiar figures had appeared.
Naturally, it was their Father and other remaining Mothers coming up onto the stage!
