All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 689: Chapter 65: Forced Enlightenment

Not long after An Jing returned to school with Chairman Chen, Principal He also came back.

Having just dealt with a swarm of reporters and acquaintances, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he forced himself to keep going, making him appear vigorously spirited.

"You want access rights to high-level formations and artifact refining?"

Principal He is the principal, and the authority to unlock the hidden secret teachings in the library is in his hands. Even though Chairman Chen is the big chairman, he still needs to ask Principal He—in light of the favor, Chairman Chen could of course order Principal He to do almost anything for him, but for things like this that Principal He has no reason to refuse, the procedure must be followed.

"You are the top student."

As expected, Principal He granted An Jing access rights on the spot, his gaze towards An Jing filled with complexity and gratification: "I didn’t manage to make it over in time to assist you this time, but if you encounter any mishaps next time, directly use this to communicate with us."

As he said this, a flash of orange-yellow light shone in his eyes, and An Jing’s chip received an access right [Great Void Urgent News].

Through this right, An Jing could forcefully connect to Principal He and Chairman Chen through the communication nodes in the Great Void, even when in the wilderness without the Spiritual Network, pinpointing his own coordinates and surrounding situation.

With these coordinates, they could even directly take the Great Void Passage to come over, without having to fly themselves like today.

"Little He was the first one who said he wanted to come and help you."

Chairman Chen wasn’t boasting at this moment, but repeated: "He was the first to act, and I was influenced by him to set off. However, I am of the Purple Mansion; I arrived a bit faster—his concern for you is absolute."

After all, Chairman Chen’s life span is not too far away; this kind of favor doesn’t matter much to him, but it is quite necessary for Principal He. In the future, if Principal He advances to Purple Mansion and joins the higher ranks through the Jingwei Academy’s board, An Jing can also gain the support of a high-level ally.

"The student naturally appreciates the kindness of the principal and the chairman."

An Jing understood too, Principal He and Chairman Chen genuinely took action at the first news they received, otherwise, he feared he truly would not have been rescued.

By then, he probably could only return to the Huai Xu Realm to seek refuge and would have had to think up a bunch of excuses for how he survived the ordeal, while Steel Skeleton Mrs. Guang, Qu Tong, and the others would most definitely have vanished into smoke. Even if the trio from Ganyuan Sea didn’t die, it wouldn’t be the same as today’s goodwill.

"I’ve given you complete access to the library’s repository."

With a move of the chip, Principal He granted the access; this technology indeed brought great convenience to daily life, albeit lacking a sense of ceremony.

He patted An Jing’s shoulder with concern: "Although you are clever and studious, you should wash up and rest first, take a short break. Escaping from death has exhausted your mind and spirit too greatly, so you cannot overwork yourself."

An Jing’s current state indeed looked unhealthy; previously, in order to block the law domain of the Kun Demon, he pushed his spiritual power to the point of bleeding from every orifice and flesh and blood bursting. Even now, his body was covered with gray-silver metallic blood residue, and his clothes were nearly turned into armor.

In such a terrible state, he indeed needed a good rest.

But An Jing was already accustomed to such injuries; internal injuries of this level didn’t require him to use Wounding Sword Qi. By closing his eyes and practicing the Son of Heaven Method, he had already healed most of the internal damage.

Moreover, after having slain the Demon Man and absorbed the Mysterious Primordial Qi, An Jing was not only barely injured but even the fatigue from the battle had been replenished.

However, there was no need for him to show off his resilience now, so he also preferred to appear weak: "Then I’ll go rest first... go to the library to read some books, and recuperate a bit."

"If that’s what you want, then as you please."

Although Principal He felt An Jing should really sleep soundly, then eat and drink well to recover, since it was An Jing’s own request, he would not insist.

Even so, he had prepared a meditation room specially for An Jing, equipped with bathing facilities, and arranged for tea and meals. If An Jing wished, he could directly order food inside. The sofa could also transform into a bed if he wanted to rest, and there was a Gathering Spirit Platform for meditative cultivation.

With everything so well-prepared, how could An Jing have any objections?

After An Jing entered the meditation room, Principal He and Chairman Chen exchanged glances.

At first, both of them managed to keep a solemn expression, but soon, the corners of their mouths could not help but turn up as they began to smile, then chuckle, and eventually burst into laughter.

"Mr. He, how are you feeling now, how does it feel?"

"Mr. Chen, you should try to keep your laughter in first, hahaha, I’ve been unlucky my whole life, who would have thought such a great fortune would fall upon us? It’s inconceivable, absolutely unbelievable!"

At this moment, they couldn’t help but laugh and be merry.

An Jing himself did not realize the immense favor he had done for Third Middle School – although there were still some disputes with other groups, it’s highly likely that the conquest of North Lake Marsh District would be recognized, and as a member of Third Middle School, coupled with Chairman Chen’s intervention, it would bring the largest share of the newly secure zone of North Lake Swamp to Third Middle School.

This significant transfer of benefits could disrupt the established hierarchy within the schools of Xuanye City, and they wouldn’t even need to struggle for it. As the new Cave Heaven entrance in North Lake Marsh District is opened and the new Chonggang Town emerges there, the benefits alone would allow Third Middle School to cultivate their students with the highest standards.

Naturally, as the greatest contributor, An Jing would also partake in the shares and benefits there. Being the top student is just a beginning and these benefits are also the reason why other True Persons conduct thorough investigations to get to the bottom of his capabilities.

This is a life-altering change of fate, and now both Chairman Chen and Principal He want to return to their offices to cool down, to temper their thoughts, lest they burst out laughing like madmen on the school playground for no apparent reason, which would affect their prestigious image.

However, just as they managed to suppress the joy in their hearts and were about to go handle some follow-up matters,

Suddenly, the library was filled with the peculiar fluctuation of Spiritual Energy Waves, causing both of them to turn their heads in unison.

"Hmm?"

—What is that?

An Jing was well aware that should he achieve Enlightenment, it would definitely attract the attention of Chairman Chen and Principal He.

But he simply could not repress it any longer.

To suppress Enlightenment—it sounds extremely absurd, incredible, and even a bit brain-damaged... It’s like being offered a meal by the heavens; who would possibly refuse? If you refuse this time, do you think there will be a next time?

Ironically, An Jing truly had a Heavenly Mandate; he was well aware that he would probably have plenty of opportunities for Enlightenment in the future, and it wouldn’t matter if he gave up this time.

Regrettably, the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan Realm did not think this way, and it was determined to grant An Jing insights, leaving him with no choice but to escape to the meditation room of the library at the first opportunity, using his privileges to open the highest-level Formation Manuals of the Tianyuan Realm that he could find.

And just as he laid eyes on the cover and contents of this Formation Manual, the tumultuous flow of insight rushed straight down, like the Heavenly River pouring directly into An Jing’s brain, Soul and Spirit.

[The Universe in one transformation, the light and the heavy are divided, the wind and clouds change in an instant, the gold and jade remain unchanged over time, the clear and the turbid are separated, that is the world, the light and heavy harmonized, that is all things]

[Formation, aligned and set, changes with time, its shape like a pot or a cauldron, its intention imitates heaven and earth]

[There is the sun and the moon within the pot, the heaven and earth within the cauldron]

[To imitate the Way is the end, and also the foundation]

[This is the fundamental True Intent of Formation Path, the subsequent practitioners must not forget their source, must not forget their foundation]
