MEIWITA Chapter 719: Eyed

Before the pupils present could react from the shock, they were asked to make a heart oath immediately.

All the pupils who were able to obtain a place to the Pagodas of Enlightenment were naturally smart, and such a request wasn’t too much. After all, if other major forces knew about this, then it’d be a catastrophe.

After all the pupils finished swearing a heart oath, the elderly man in white swept his horsetail whisk and an invisible force descended on each of them.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t move. This was a kind of power to seal the oath, and it was also a method used to safeguard the secret.

For example, if anyone among them left the Pagodas of Enlightenment and someone wanted to use methods such as soul searching to obtain the secrets of the Pagodas of Enlightenment, then it’d be impossible, because this memory was already sealed by the heart oath’s power. Even the powerhouses at Celestial Unification Realm wouldn’t be able to snoop.

No wonder that before entering the Pagodas of Enlightenment, all the pupils had to temporarily hand in items such as memory crystal balls, and spirit pets had to remain outside.

“Alright, there are five Pagodas of Enlightenment, the Alchemy Pagoda, Smithing Pagoda, Array Pagoda, Talisman Pagoda, and Taming Pagoda. You can freely choose the order in which you enter the Pagodas of Enlightenment.

“But this old man suggests that if you only master one or two specialisations, it’s best not to enter other Pagodas of Enlightenment to learn other specialisations.

“After all, everyone’s energy is limited. Except for a few people who are extremely talented, learning several specialisations at the same time will be distracting. On the contrary, you might lose a great deal because of something small, and lead to the inability to become proficient in the specialisation you’re best at.”

The first floor of each Pagoda of Enlightenment was actually the floor to begin one’s practice in the specialisation. As long as the body possessed the corresponding elemental energy attribute, one could begin their studies in it, but it’d be difficult to learn to mastery. The five major forces actually didn’t encourage pupils to master more than two specialisations.

Of course, people like Lou Mu Yan were an exception. After all, her specialisations were all at grade 8 except for smithing, which was something that many core pupils of the five major forces couldn’t even achieve after exiting the Pagodas of Enlightenment in their one specialisation.

“Yes, pupil will remember.”

“No matter which Pagoda of Enlightenment you enter, adjust your mind to the best ethereal state. After completing the comprehension of a floor, the pagoda spirit will automatically transfer you to the next floor. If you can’t go any further, you’ll be sent out by the pagoda spirit when you reach the limit.

“If you’re sent out, and if you no longer wish to enter the other Pagodas of Enlightenment to comprehend, you can directly walk out of the barrier. We will be guarding outside.

“Don’t try to enter the same Pagoda of Enlightenment again, you’ll definitely not be able to enter, so all good fortune depends on fate, don’t force it.”

The elderly man in white said all the reminders and points of attention, “Alright, now you can choose a Pagoda of Enlightenment to enter.”

“Yes!”

The first Pagoda of Enlightenment that Lou Mu Yan chose wasn’t alchemy, but the Array Pagoda. Her strongest specialisation was arrays, and it’d be better to get off to a good start.

After all the pupils present had entered the Pagodas of Enlightenment, the several superiors also exited this space and waited outside the barrier.

Meanwhile, in the Central State, a stone house was built on the peak of a mountain with picturesque scenery, as well as abundant spiritual force, and in the stone house sat the superiors of the five major forces.

Not only was the Alchemy Pagoda’s Pagoda Master, Smithing Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Array Alliance’s Alliance Master, Tamers Union’s Union Leader, and the Mercenary Union’s Union Leader there, but also five elderly men who restrained their auras and appeared like mortals.

And the superiors of the five major forces were extremely respectful towards those five people.

When the group of pupils on the grasslands entered the Pagodas of Enlightenment, an elderly man who had a very faint aura waved his hand casually, and a spar wall opposite them revealed the situation in the forbidden grounds of the Pagodas of Enlightenment.

“Old Wu, Lou Mu Yan’s been dug over by you, shouldn’t you donate some pots of spiritual wine to drink?” The Pavilion Master of the Smithing Pavilion looked at the Union Leader of the Mercenary Union and said with a half-smile.

“Go play to the side, I don’t even have enough to drink myself.” Union Leader Wu rolled his eyes at him.

Union Leader Wu did exchange more than ten pots of grade 8 spiritual wine from Lou Mu Yan using spiritual stones and spiritual herbs, but even he was reluctant to drink them. Who knew that he’d be extorted as soon as he came.

“What Lou Mu Yan? What spiritual wine?” One of the five elderly men asked with a faint smile.

“Ancestor, this is what happened…” The Pavilion Master of the Smithing Pavilion immediately spoke about Lou Mu Yan’s performance in the alchemy competition and her being a grade 8 spiritual wine master, as well as the fact that she was dug over by the Union Leader of the Mercenary Union.

The elderly man revealed some interest in his eyes, looked at Union Leader Wu and said: “What grade 8 spiritual wine that you’re all praising, take it out and let’s have a taste.”

Although the other four elderly men didn’t speak, but their expressions also revealed that they wanted to have a taste.

Union Leader Wu had a smile on his face, but he absolutely wanted to beat up the Pavilion Master of the Smithing Pavilion. He had no choice but to take out a pot of each kind of spiritual wine, and there were five pots in total.

“Ancestors, please.” He lowered his stance and poured a glass of spiritual wine for the five ancestors.

Although everyone present here was a powerhouse at Celestial Unification Realm, but there were also differences.

These five were the Ancestors of the five major forces, and each of them had lived for more than ten thousand years. Their cultivation base had already reached the late-phase, or even the peak of Celestial Unification Realm, with unfathomable strength.

One must know that at their level, even if there was only the difference of one level, the gap in strength would be very large.

All five of them could keep their auras restrained. If they walked around the mortal world, no one would recognise them as Sword Masters. This was a realm reached at Celestial Unification Realm.

The unity of man and nature, it was the eternal pursuit of every Sword Master.

The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union was the first to take a sip from the wine cup, then a faint smile appeared on his lips, “Not bad.”

Hearing his words, the other four Ancestors also took a sip from their wine cups, and said with a smile: “Indeed not bad.”

After reaching their level, they’d usually drink grade 9 spiritual wine, and grade 8 spiritual wine was rarely drunk, but the spiritual wine brewed by Lou Mu Yan was rich, sweet, and mellow, with an overflowing fragrance. They all liked the taste.

“Who is Lou Mu Yan in the Pagodas of Enlightenment?” The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union asked slowly.

Union Leader Wu immediately pointed to a stunning woman in purple clothes in the Array Pagoda and said: “That’s Lou Mu Yan.”

The Ancestor of the Mercenary Union continued to ask indifferently: “Didn’t you say that she’s a grade 8 alchemist and spiritual wine master? Why did she enter the Alchemy Pagoda?”

Alchemists and spiritual wine masters came from the same origins, so it was normal to cultivate them together, but arrays were poles apart.

“Ancestor, Lou girl is proficient in all five specialisations. I heard that she’s best at arrays, and she’s currently able to arrange a grade 8 Spirit Gathering Array.” Union Leader Wu replied with a smile, with some smugness in his words.

The other elders were slightly surprised. Union Leader Wu couldn’t possibly lie, which meant that Lou Mu Yan indeed specialised in the five specialisations.

“What an interesting little fellow.” The Mercenary Union’s Ancestor smiled with half-closed eyes.

“Let’s watch her performance in the Pagodas of Enlightenment.” The Ancestor of the Array Alliance said with interest.

At this age, she had already become a grade 8 array master, and could arrange the very difficult Spirit Gathering Array. He sure was somewhat looking forward to the performance of this little fellow in the Array Pagoda of Enlightenment.

Others had the same thoughts.

Lou Mu Yan, who was comprehending in the Array Pagoda, didn’t know that she was being eyed by many powerhouses.
