Chapter 527: Chapter 269: The Boat Trial Ceremony, I’m Having an Epiphany!

Jiushan Realm’s University Island, inside a classroom.

Eighty or ninety Jiushan Cultivators sat within, no one spoke, only the rustling sound of papers turning.

Yan Wushuang sat next to the disciples of the "Golden Core Project," his gaze first paused on the thesis in front of him and he spaced out for a moment, then he lifted his eyes, looking at everyone in the classroom:

In front, Master Yuan was propping his head.

Beside him, Lady Xuanhua was scratching her ears and cheeks.

The Jiushan Disciples around were lost in their thoughts.

Only Zhang Wuyi beside Zheng Fa was exceptionally abnormal—she looked at the thesis in front of her with sparkling eyes, actually engrossed in it.

"Ah..."

A sigh came through, Yan Wushuang followed the sound, and the one sighing was Elder Yuan at the front row.

This sigh seemed contagious, and for a while, the classroom was filled with sighs rising and falling in succession, like a chorus filled with sorrow.

Yan Wushuang, among them, felt sorrow upon sorrow, and almost wanted to cry.

He regretted it!

These Jiushan Sect disciples, due to Zheng Fa’s dominance, had no escape.

As for himself, a Tianhe Disciple, what was he thinking to take part in this "Tianhe Sword Dao" research?

Was this something he could meddle in?

He looked at the thesis in front of him, he recognized every word, but... put together, what on earth was it?

Zheng Fa was originally reading the thesis, thoughtfully pondering how to improve the current "Golden Core Project," hearing the sighs of the group, he couldn’t help but look up at Elder Yuan.

"What’s wrong? Don’t understand it?"

Yan Wushuang silently nodded his head.

But Elder Yuan curled his lips, seemingly taken aback by the slight, and said loudly:

"Don’t understand? How could I not understand? I do understand it!"

"You do? Then Master, what do you think about these articles?"

"Good!" Elder Yuan gently stroked his beard and said, "Extremely good!"

Zheng Fa nodded with a faint smile on his face.

But Elder Yuan’s smile became brighter and more urgent: "Just now, after reading these excellent papers, my heart suddenly became moved, and I had some thoughts on the path to Divinity Transformation!"

"So?"

"I plan, to go into seclusion!"

As Master Yuan spoke, he stood up, as if this enlightenment was extremely urgent, almost as if he could not hold it any longer.

Yan Wushuang stared at him fiercely; he himself hadn’t managed to escape yet.

How could he let him escape!

Zheng Fa was still nodding, his face smiling: "Master is indeed very perceptive, with extraordinary talents, but this disciple has some areas of confusion..."

"..."

"Before going into seclusion, this disciple would like to ask Master some questions..."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan stopped in his tracks, then sat back down, and Yan Wushuang clearly heard him whisper under his breath—unfilial disciple!

Looking at the old man’s troubled figure seated back down, Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but show a crooked smile, he suddenly felt a little disrespectful, and as he turned his head, he saw that the disciples who were just sighing were now laughing even more joyfully than him.

For a moment, the once sorrowful classroom was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Zheng Fa also smiled, he cleared his throat: "I know these articles are very difficult for everyone, this group study is exactly to solve this difficulty."

"On one hand, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, no need to be hesitant."

"On the other hand, if anyone has any insights, they are also welcome to share with everyone."

Zheng Fa looked forward expectantly at everyone, these were the most talented disciples of Jiushan Sect at present, on one hand, this was for the research of "Tianhe Sword Dao."

On the other hand, he also intended to train these disciples—often times, truly participating in a project and applying some knowledge into practice is a very good method of learning.

For a while, no one spoke.

It was Lady Xuanhua who spoke out, flipping through a paper: "I find this paper very reasonable, the difference of alchemy furnaces, I’ve been overlooking before..."

Zheng Fa also nodded, saying: "I was also thinking about this matter, Shenxiao Outer Pill has its own alchemy furnace, it might not be appropriate."

"This paper’s discussion on mutual interaction, oh, or rather the concept of Divine Soul cannot be ignored either." Zhang Senior Sister, like Zheng Fa, was most concerned about Professor Wang’s paper, "I am thinking, we haven’t been successful, could it be that the number of people involved in the concoction is too many."

"Indeed, if the first Sub-talisman contains a disciple’s Divine Soul, then the second Sub-talisman would likely need the same person’s Divine Soul."

Zheng Fa immediately responded.

This was also the first problem he thought of when he saw Professor Wang’s paper.

As one could imagine, Tianhe Venerable didn’t create Sword Dao on an assembly line, it had to depend on oneself.

And when Zheng Fa cultivated the "Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method," the Five Elements Child Talismans were also condensed by himself alone, containing only his Divine Soul.

From this point of view, for the Sub-talismans to connect, it probably first requires the same person’s Divine Soul.

Yet the Jiushan Sect’s "Golden Core Project" is a collaborative effort, there might also be a conflict here.

Yan Wushuang, after listening to the conversation between the two, comparing it with his own situation when he concocted his Lifebound Flying Sword, also felt that these two reasons were more likely, he added: "The sword-smithing method of Tianhe Sect... I can’t discuss the specifics, but indeed, it cannot rely on others."

"And..." he took out a paper, thought for a bit and said, "I didn’t realize before, this paper reminded me."

"The second Five Elements Child Talisman, should also repeat the process of Golden Core condensation, that is, starting from the very first step."

"Do it again?"

Lady Xuanhua frowned, seemingly unable to comprehend.

Yan Wushuang held back for a long time, explaining: "This matter... may be related to the fact that my Tianhe Sect was not very powerful before."

Zheng Fa paused for a moment, as if he understood his implications: "Are you saying, Tianhe Sect didn’t have Nascent Soul Cultivation Techniques before Tianhe Venerable?"
