Chapter 1001
Even at the Brahma Theological Seminary, I Want to Be the Big Boss!
Fang Qing maintained the demeanor of the Brahma Envoy, maneuvering the iconic shuttle-shaped immortal ship smoothly into the vast planetary immortal realm complex.
Following the information he obtained from the true memories of Fanjing and the ethereal landmarks he observed along the way, he first flew towards a relatively independent star continent surrounded by countless pale golden light bands.
That place was one of the places where "Fanjing" reported on its duties and rested after this mission, and it was also the outer reception area of the Brahma Theological Seminary, the cradle for cultivating reserve talents for the Brahma Party.
The Brahma Academy is a massive, comprehensive organization encompassing numerous functions such as cultivation, research, trials, mission issuance, and resource exchange. It is directly subordinate to the upper echelons of the Brahma Party and holds a transcendent position.
It is a sacred place that countless geniuses in the vassal realms dream of, and also an important channel for the Brahma Party to select, cultivate, and absorb fresh blood from the 36,000 celestial realms.
Many ascended beings or selected elites from the vassal realms are sent here for advanced training and assessment. Only those who perform exceptionally well can truly integrate into the Brahma Party system and gain higher status and resources.
As an official envoy dispatched by the Vatican, "Fanjing" himself had the experience of studying at the Vatican Theological Seminary and possessed certain authority.
Entering the academy area under this identity would not seem abrupt, and it would also allow Fang Qing to come into contact with the relatively young and active members of the Vatican Party, making it easier for him to observe and understand the internal structure and operation of this massive organization.
The fairy boat landed at the dock in the reception area.
As Fang Qing stepped off the celestial ship, a low-ranking deacon dressed in the academy's standard robes immediately came to greet him. After examining his envoy token and mission confirmation jade talisman, the deacon respectfully led him to a special envoy's quarters to settle in and informed him that he needed to wait for the academy's higher-ups to review and evaluate his mission.
During this period, students can move freely in designated areas outside the academy and may also apply to use some basic training facilities.
This is exactly what Fang Qing wanted.
After settling in, he carefully studied the detailed rules, zoning, precautions, and most importantly, the "List of Basic Contribution Exchanges for the Brahma Theological Seminary" and the "Guide to Basic Qigong Elective Courses" of the Brahma Theological Seminary.
"Sure enough, contribution points are the real currency here. Missions, research results, breakthroughs in cultivation, and even the discovery and reporting of a special physique can all earn you Brahma Points. And Brahma Points can be exchanged for cultivation techniques, pills, materials, time to enter advanced cultivation rooms, opportunities to consult with famous teachers, and so on."
Fang Qing watched everything intently.
As for cultivation techniques, the Brahma Academy offers a wide variety of choices, from basic immortal techniques suitable for various attributes and physiques to some unique divine-level qigong fragments or complete first few levels, it has everything.
However, all advanced techniques require a massive amount of Brahma Points and a corresponding level of access to redeem.
Fang Qing's gaze fell on several divine-level qigong techniques in the list, labeled as the "Five Elements Origin Series".
The "Central Great Brahma Punishment Wood Divine Qi Gong" contains the supreme vitality of the wood element and the true meaning of heavenly punishment and destruction. When cultivated to the highest level, one can control all trees and summon heavenly punishment lightning.
The "Central Great Brahma Punishing Water Divine Qigong" controls all water, purifies everything, and can also condense water into ice, freezing time and space, containing the way of ultimate softness and ultimate strength.
The "Central Great Brahma Punishment Divine Qi Gong" is incomparably sharp, destroying all laws. When cultivated to its extreme, one can transform into innate Geng metal, capable of cutting down anything.
The "Central Great Brahma Punishment Fire God Qigong" can burn the heavens and boil the seas, purify karmic obstacles, and generate life from fire, and can also burn all things.
The "Central Great Brahma Punishing Earth Divine Qi Gong" is powerful enough to carry heavy objects and provides unparalleled defense. It can also trigger earth pulsations and destroy the world.
Each of these five qigong techniques, taken individually, is a divine-level skill that would make countless geniuses fight tooth and nail for it.
What's even more remarkable is that they belong to the same system. It is said that if one can cultivate them simultaneously and comprehend the four great tribulations of "formation, existence, decay, and emptiness" contained within them, one can merge them into one and evolve into an unparalleled supernatural power that will amaze heaven and earth.
However, this is almost an impossible task. The five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining, and cultivating two disciplines at the same time is already extremely difficult. It is very easy to cause internal energy conflicts and lead to qi deviation.
Those who can cultivate more than three disciplines simultaneously are extremely rare in the history of the Brahma Party, and they all spent a long time and relied on countless rare and precious materials to barely achieve balance.
As for comprehending the "formation, existence, decay, and emptiness," that is even more of a legend, something that only some of the oldest and most invincible geniuses or ancient recluses have ever touched upon.
"Form, dwelling, decay, emptiness".
A hint of a smile flashed in Fang Qing's eyes.
These four great calamities elucidate the profound truth of the cycle of birth and death in the world, which is quite similar to the Taoist teachings he has come to understand. Moreover, he has also cultivated the Great Five Elements Technique, and in the way of the Five Elements, he can be called the ancestor.
Therefore, this is a good opportunity to quickly gain status and resources within the college.
Fang Qing completed some tasks here, and also happened to demonstrate his mastery of the "Central Great Brahma Punishing Wood Divine Qi Gong" and "Central Great Brahma Punishing Water Divine Qi Gong" during the mission.
In an instant, a vibrant green light and a pale blue aura of water flowed around Fang Qing. Although he did not intend to unleash them, the two kinds of high-level true energy fluctuations, which were extremely pure and formed a subtle cycle of mutual complementation, were like torches lit in the darkness, immediately attracting the attention of all the students around him.
"That's... Wood God Qi Gong and Water God Qi Gong?! Two of them?! He actually cultivated two Heavenly Punishment Divine Arts at the same time? And even achieved a preliminary balance?"
"My God! Who is this? Aren't they afraid of their internal energy clashing and exploding?"
"Judging from his appearance, he seems quite relaxed... What kind of self-control and physique does that require?"
"Quickly report to the deacon! No, report directly to the Elder Council! Our Brahma Theological Seminary is about to produce another genius!"
Exclamations and murmurs arose.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire. Several powerful divine senses swept from the depths of the academy, landing on Fang Qing with scrutiny and surprise.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, an elderly man dressed in a purple-gold elder's robe appeared before Fang Qing, accompanied by several senior deacons.
"Are you Fanjing?"
The purple-robed elder's gaze was like lightning, as if he could see right through Fang Qing, inside and out. "To cultivate both the Wood and Water elemental Heavenly Punishment Divine Arts simultaneously and still manage to harmonize them... Do you know how dangerous this is? How did you manage to do it?"
Fang Qing remained composed and answered with the prepared statement: "Elder, when I was on a mission to a lower realm, I stumbled upon an ancient ruin and obtained a Spirit-Nourishing Fruit. After consuming it, my physique seemed to undergo some changes, and my tolerance and affinity for the five elements increased significantly. After returning, I studied cultivation techniques and found that cultivating both the wood and water elements simultaneously was quite smooth, so I dared to give it a try."
He attributed everything to a fictitious adventure, which is not uncommon in the myriad realms.
A glint flashed in the purple-robed elder's eyes, and he extended a finger, pointing it at Fang Qing's brow from a distance.
"Good! Good! Good!" The purple-robed elder withdrew his finger, a rare look of joy on his face.
"The Spirit-Nourishing Fruit? It is indeed a rare and precious item. You have taken advantage of this opportunity to cultivate two energies simultaneously, and your foundation is solid. You are truly a prodigy! According to the rules established by the academy since ancient times, anyone who can cultivate two or more Heavenly Punishment Divine Arts simultaneously and maintain a basic balance can be directly promoted to the position of Brahma Child!"
Brahma!
A collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.
In the Brahma Theological Seminary and among the younger generation of the entire Brahma Party, the title of "Brahma Child" symbolizes extremely high honor and status.
Such individuals possess independent dwellings, ample basic resource allocations, higher authority, and the privilege of reporting directly to the Council of Elders.
The birth of each Brahma disciple is highly anticipated.
"From this day forward, Fan Jing is promoted to the new Brahma Disciple of the Brahma Theological Seminary!"
The purple-robed elder announced on the spot and bestowed upon you a purple-gold token representing your status as a Brahma disciple, a storage ring, and the coordinates of your new cave dwelling. "Since you cultivate both Qi, you have great potential. You should study diligently and strive to comprehend deeper mysteries as soon as possible. The academy will provide you with corresponding support and attention."
Fang Qing accepted the token and other items, and bowed to express his gratitude.
The first step of my plan has been successfully taken.
The identity of the Brahma Child will provide him with great convenience and a layer of protection for his future activities in the Brahma Immortal Realm.
After becoming a Brahma, Fang Qing's life underwent a dramatic change.
He moved into the independent Brahma Cave, located in the core area of the academy, where the spiritual energy was even more abundant.
Every day there are all sorts of visitors: curious students, representatives from various factions trying to make connections, and invitations from the Elder Council or certain research institutions.
While continuing to delve deeper into the cultivation of the wood and water elemental qigong, Fang Qing also used his status and privileges as a disciple of the Brahma to move around within the academy.
Although the Brahma Theological Seminary is full of geniuses, it is also riddled with factions and fiercely competitive.
Many talented students, but from ordinary backgrounds or from weak vassal immortal realms, often lack sufficient resources and support, making slow progress and easily bullied or marginalized.
This is an opportunity.
Fang Qing didn't need to win over those scions of powerful families with deep backgrounds and complex minds, or those powerful geniuses from the immortal realm.
What he needs is a relatively clean, promising team that can rely on and be loyal to him.
Therefore, he began to consciously showcase his unique personal charm.
In his public lectures, he not only explains the application of the elements of wood and water, but also delves into the concepts of mutual generation of the five elements, energy balance, and even the "birth and death of the world." His insights are often unique and profound, giving many students a fresh perspective and providing them with invaluable benefits.
More importantly, he added a layer of "leadership halo" to himself.
This is the aura that naturally flows from his great ruling arts and kingly dominance, combined with his identity as a genius Brahma, forming a kind of halo that can be transformed into a physique in this world.
Leader.
I was born to lead others!
Under this halo, a group of students spontaneously gathered around Fang Qing.
Most of them came from humble backgrounds, but some had special physical constitutions, others had a firm belief in the Tao, and still others had a special skill. They were filled with gratitude and respect for this unpretentious, mentor-mentee, and radiantly talented monk, Fan Jing.
Among them were some promising talents that even surprised Fang Qing.
For example, there is a silent boy named "Yan" who comes from a vassal immortal realm known for its ores and forging.
He is not human, but a rare stone spirit race, with an innate affinity for the power of earth and stone, and an absurdly strong physical body.
Fang Qing could see that he possessed an extremely pure, almost primordial, essence of Earth, but it had not been effectively guided.
With a little guidance and instruction on some basic earth-based body tempering techniques, Yan's cultivation progressed rapidly, and he became even more devoted to Fang Qing.
For example, there is a girl named Shadow Dancer who comes from a hidden fairy realm where the law of shadow prevails.
She possesses the "Shadow Spirit" and excels in stealth, assassination, and intelligence gathering.
Fang Qing appreciated her talent and assigned her to be in charge of intelligence and vigilance within his inner circle. He also gave her some profound Taoist techniques, allowing Yingwu to find her own value and become a hidden and sharp dagger in Fang Qing's hands.
There is also a young man named Yan Jin, who comes from a volcanic world and is born with the "Heart of Molten Fire," possessing extremely strong fire-type talent.
Fang Qing guided him with a trace of the gentle essence of the Water God Qi Gong, helping him to initially control the violent firepower, and taught him some methods to calm the mind and spirit, allowing Yan Jin to see the possibility of controlling his own power and going further. He admired Fang Qing to the point of prostration.
Wood, stone, shadow, fire...
Fang Qing gradually gathered a group of followers, each with their own unique characteristics and considerable potential.
Individually, they might not be considered top-tier at the prestigious Brahma Academy, which is teeming with geniuses. However, when they come together, under Fang Qing's guidance and resource integration, they are quietly forming a new force that should not be underestimated.
More importantly, their loyalty to Brother Fanjing is heartfelt.
Thus, Fang Qing not only established himself at the Brahma Theological Seminary, but also wove his own network. (End of Chapter)
