Imperial God Emperor-Chapter 1315 Immortal Dojo
Chapter 1315 Immortal Dojo
Translator: Aran
Ye Qingyu decided to set up his own school of Dao.
His fearsome reputation as the current Martial Emperor awed the entire Vast Thousand Domains. The Martial Emperor was the supreme being in the eyes of every living creature in those worlds, and countless numbers of people dreamed of receiving advice from one of them. Ye Qingyu's creation of a sect was an extremely big piece of news, especially when one considered that a Martial Emperor had not appeared in this world for tens of thousands of years.
Ye Qingyu stayed temporarily in the Light City after returning to Snow Capital.
His intention to move his headquarters away spread across the entire Vast Thousand Domains under the official publicity campaign of the Heaven Wasteland Empire. It immediately caused an explosive reaction throughout the domains. In fact, the empire did not have to publicize it much for the living beings in the Vast Thousand Domains to begin spreading the news like crazy.
The creation of a new sect by a Martial Emperor was a rare and great event.
Furthermore, the mantra that Ye Qingyu gave for his new sect was short and simple, but it moved everyone—
"Education for everyone regardless of background and in accordance with the student's ability."
Those first six words especially caused many beings who were not human but wanted to pick up martial arts to be incredibly excited.
When they heard the news that the Immortal God Emperor was about to create a new sect to spread his own Dao, they were initially still worried that he would only select human talents to be his disciples. After all, Ye Qingyu was a human himself, and most of his feats and battles were accomplished and fought for his kind, and he was known to be extremely cold toward the other races.
In many previous eras, the appearance of a Martial Emperor was extremely fortuitous for his own people, while it was the dawn of a dark period for the other races. No one expected that the Immortal God Emperor would open enrolment into his new sect to people of all races or domains; anyone could enter the martial arts world under his guidance as long as they were strong-willed enough.
Many creatures and races immediately sensed that their chance had come.
Evidently, the Immortal God Emperor Ye Qingyu possessed a heart and pattern that had rarely been seen in millennia.
The news continued to ferment and spread. Countless numbers of people swarmed to the Heaven Wasteland Domain in the hopes that they could get a headstart on being accepted into the Immortal God Emperor's new sect before it was officially set up.
Suddenly, the Heaven Wasteland Domain looked to be prospering, something that had never been seen before.
The influence of a current Martial Emperor was incredibly terrifying.
Many people were guessing what the new school of Dao created by the Immortal God Emperor would be called and where it would be set up, along with other things, such as what the basic entrance requirements were, or what sort of entrance tests there would be. All sorts of rumors began spreading, and all living beings that dreamed of becoming among the Immortal God Emperor's first batch of students kept on the lookout for more information while making specific preparations...
The entire Vast Thousand Domains had reached a fever pitch.
During this period of time, Ye Qingyu actually was not thinking about so many things.
First, he allocated a day's time to personally welcome more than two hundred young geniuses of the Heaven Wasteland Domain led by Bai Yuanxing.
Their parents and family also got to enter the Light City for a chance to catch a glimpse of the Immortal God Emperor's glory. In this way, family members wept with joy as they reunited. There was a dream-like aura to the scene that filled everyone with emotion and joy.
Ye Qingyu stood at the entrance to the Light Palace, grinning.
Even though these young men and women, who were originally thought to have been lost and dead forever, were not old, they had undergone training in the Immortal God Emperor Sect, Reincarnation Hall of the Chaos Demon Emperor, and Chaos District and Mess, and their abilities had increased exponentially. Currently, they were top-level talents that could hold their own.
These youthful talents, who numbered more than two hundred, held an extremely important position in Ye Qingyu's plans.
They would become the most central and trustworthy force in the Immortal Dojo.
How far the Immortal Dojo could progress in the future would largely be decided by the abilities of these teenagers. Ye Qingyu was full of confidence in them.
Originally, Hon Kong wanted to allocate a few of them to aid in rebuilding White Deer Academy, but he could only reluctantly give the idea up when he got wind of Ye Qingyu's plans. He knew that the Immortal Dojo that Ye Qingyu wanted to set up was much more important to the world than White Deer Academy.
After their families left the Light City, Ye Qingyu described his own plan to the youths who remained behind. He was willing to give them the right to choose and not force them to do things according to his will. However, the teenagers had long been filled with admiration and respect for Ye Qingyu and thus did not hesitate to join the Immortal Dojo.
The first phase of Ye Qingyu's plan could be considered complete.
The next thing that needed to be done was to select the location of Immortal Dojo.
Many guessed that the base for Ye Qingyu's new sect would be in the Heaven Wasteland Domain. After all, he was a Martial Emperor that had emerged from that domain. He had once fought for it with his life, and the Heaven Wasteland Domain could be considered a new realm with vast borders and rich resources. Furthermore, with the Heaven Wasteland Empire as his natural "close ally", it was incredibly suitable to be his staging ground.
But in reality, Ye Qingyu himself did not feel like that.
If possible, he wanted the dojo he created to dominate an entire domain on its own.
There was already an empire within the Heaven Wasteland Domain, which was once the peerless War God's lifetime work and was also painstakingly rebuilt by Ye Qingyu. He did not want the Heaven Wasteland Empire to become a vassal of the Immortal Dojo. If he set up the dojo in the Heaven Wasteland Domain, there would definitely be conflicts between the empire and itself once it grew.
However, even though there were many domains in the Vast Thousand Domains, it was nearly impossible to find any that had not been ruled by any faction.
After thinking it over many times, eventually Ye Qingyu's mindful gaze fell on a domain that was nearly decimated.
The Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
This desolated domain, which was believed to have less than one hundred years of life left, did not have any natives left in it. All of them had left the domain years ago under the assistance of the Heaven Wasteland Empire and emigrated to the Heaven Wasteland Domain. The Ancient Sky Dragon Domain was now a barren, isolated wasteland fraught with danger that had become the training ground for troops of the Heaven Wasteland Domain.
Ye Qingyu made up his mind.
He decided to scout the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain again.
Human effort can overcome the will of the Heavens, and perhaps I can try to experiment to turn the fate of the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, or perhaps slow its demise... Ye Qingyu thought. He felt that it could become a form of training to him.
At his current level of cultivation, purely using qi to absorb spiritual energy from nature was completely useless when it came to increasing his powers. Instead, he would have to rely on enlightenment. Each time he understood another law of the universe, such as that of time, space, life, death, and yin and yang, he would be able to advance to another realm.
His impending trial in the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain was undoubtedly a chance for Ye Qingyu to comprehend the meaning of life and death, as well as that of yin and yang.
One day later, Ye Qingyu entered the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain with Tian Ning and her son.
The trio first arrived where the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect used to stand. During that fateful battle, Ye Qingyu had destroyed much of the sect's architecture before eventually managing to subdue Little Ten. Memories flooded into his mind again as he arrived back in the same spot. Tian Ning and her son paid their respects to the forefathers of the Ancient Sky Dragon Sect before she did the same for her husband while weeping
Afterward, Ye Qingyu roamed everywhere around the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
Within a day, he had traversed the entire domain.
As the lifespan of the domain drew to a close, the borders of this previously huge domain had shrunk considerably. There were sandstorms all around, and the earth was yellowed and barren. Vegetation and living organisms that had previously inhabited the domain had died off, leaving only a few extremely hardy beings alive, which were low-level life forms and mostly vegetation that did not possess intelligence.
It was not an exaggeration to label it as a domain reeking of death. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
For a martial arts practitioner, a tougher environment can help train them even more. Even a warrior at the Body Refinement realm would be able to survive in this domain with water and food from the Heaven Wasteland Domain...
Ye Qingyu thought as he walked and surveyed the land.
However, it was also very clear to him that the biggest obstacle to setting up the Immortal Dojo in this desolate domain was that the flow of nature's spiritual qi here had nearly dried up. Without it, warriors below the Saint realm would face difficulties increasing their level of cultivation.
It was also the biggest reason why many sects and factions since the beginning of time have always wanted to set up their headquarters in paradises and spiritual lands instead of barren places.
As he traversed the entire Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, Ye Qingyu was always thinking.
He could feel the aura of death pervading each corner of this domain.
He had to solve the problem of how to survive in this land of death.
Ye Qingyu returned to the Heaven Wasteland Domain when he had concluded that day's scouting session.
After one month, a few pieces of news that countless beings have been waiting eagerly for a long time began to spread in the Vast Thousand Domains.
The name of the Immortal God Emperor's school of Dao was not going to be the Immortal Empire or the Immortal Sect. Instead, it would be known as the Immortal Dojo.
The name sounded like a logical choice.
However, the location chosen for the dojo shocked many people.
The Ancient Sky Dragon Domain!
How could the Immortal Dojo's base be set up in this domain, which is about to be destroyed? What's going on? Even those few people who had not been to the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain had heard about it; it had quite a huge reputation in the Vast Thousand Domains of being a domain that was the only one in recent times about to be destroyed. Nearly everyone was certain that its doom was near, but now, the Immortal Dojo was about to be set up there?
At first, many people suspected that there was something wrong with the news.
As time passed, however, everything was proved to be accurate when Ye Qingyu himself sent out his message.
"Those who are willing to join the Immortal Dojo should hurry to the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain immediately. Anyone can become a disciple of the dojo, regardless of race, age, aptitude, or level of cultivation, as long as he or she passes the simple entrance examination and has the resolution to embark on the path of martial arts. The Great Dao is vast, and there will be education offered to everyone, regardless of background. Anyone who is sincere enough can even become an Emperor."
Ye Qingyu said this personally, spreading his Dao voice across the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain.
Countless figures rushed toward the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain as if they were insane.
