Yuchen Zi cleared his throat. "Everyone, let us continue. " He paused, then went on. "Granny Zhu, Wenyuan, and Crown Prince Youming studied the matter for a long while, and concluded that the problem lies in the process of crossing from the Heavenly Palace into the Southern Heavenly Gate. So they began to experiment, attempting to send their primordial spirits through the Northern Heavenly Gate. After their primordial spirits passed through the Northern Heavenly Gate, they comprehended a great deal of the Dao, and then employed the Northern Emperor's divine arts, and at last entered the Dao Realm without hindrance.
Granny, Wenyuan, is that not so? " Granny Zhu and the youth Wenyuan nodded. "We told the others at the Academy of Hearing the Dao about this, and so many of them began to experiment, developing the uses of the Four Heavenly Gates little by little," Granny Zhu said.
Yuchen Zi said, "By now the system of the Four Heavenly Gates has been developed by the gods of the Academy of Hearing the Dao into a nearly complete whole. There is only one oddity: many can comprehend the Dao while passing through the four gates, yet they cannot enter the Dao.
The odds of entering the Dao are very low; among a hundred-odd gods, one or two would already be reckoned extraordinary.
In the end, it still comes down to natural talent. " Shen Mu paced to and fro, deep in thought. The realm of the Four Heavenly Gates had not been opened up by Granny Zhu and Crown Prince Youming alone; it had been founded jointly by the geniuses of the Academy of Hearing the Dao.
Granny Zhu, the youth Wenyuan, and Crown Prince Youming were the forerunners, who built upon the original Southern Heavenly Gate and made up for its deficiencies.
They could not be counted as even half a Heavenly Venerable, yet to have achieved such a pioneering feat was already no small matter!
The people of the Academy of Hearing the Dao had great prospects; Granny Zhu and Crown Prince Youming could be reckoned geniuses who had integrated the Dao Realm with the Heavenly Palace system, and they were destined to leave a heavy mark upon the cultivation systems of the future. Their contribution to the cultivation systems of the future was no weaker than that of the Dao Ancestor or the Great Brahma. "What the Academy of Hearing the Dao lacks is vision.
" Shen Mu halted and suddenly raised his head.
"Hua Xuanxiu, Granny Zhu, Wenyuan, Crown Prince Youming, and everyone who has contributed to the realm of the Four Heavenly Gates, come with me to the Ancestral Court this time!
" Wei Suifeng's eyes shone bright as snow; he itched to move, hard put to contain the excitement in his heart.
Shen Mu shot him a glance and sneered. "Has our eldest senior brother made any contribution to the realm of the Four Heavenly Gates? " "I have! " Wei Suifeng chuckled. "I founded the Heavenly Sacred Cult.
Si Youyou was the former Holy Maiden of my Heavenly Sacred Cult, Wenyuan is the patriarch who transmitted the arts, and Hua Xuanxiu is my disciple's disciple, though my disciple is a bit of a dullard. If I had not founded the Heavenly Sacred Cult, then to say nothing of a Heavenly Sacred Maiden or a Heavenly Sacred Patriarch, there would not even be a Heavenly Sacred Hierarch! " Shen Mu's momentum dropped half a head below his at once, and he muttered, "Go if you're going.
What are you dredging up all that moldy old sesame and rotten grain for? Our Heavenly Sacred Cult has always honored the old and cherished the young. At worst, the new Hierarch finishes off the previous Hierarch .
. . " The group packed and made ready to depart.
The Yuan Realm was stable now, and there was no need for these experts of the Academy of Hearing the Dao to remain here forever; to follow Shen Mu to the Ancestral Court and see something of the world was, in itself, a thing worth getting excited about.
