My Wife is A Sword God

After this imperial examination, the status of the National Academy plummeted, prompting a reorganisation. Mo Siye claimed to be unwell, abdicated in favor of a worthy man, and returned to the Eastern Domain to live out his days in retirement.

In contrast, the Peaceful Academy rose to prominence, with common-born students entering the court for the first time.

Emperor Ming ordered the implementation of the Imperial Examination System throughout the Great Qian, first starting with the Western Domain.

In addition, Emperor Ming ordered the establishment of schools in Heavenly City, in all four domains of the Great Qian, to cultivate more talent for the Empire.

It’s worth noting that the name of these schools was none other than Peaceful Academy!

A month passed quickly, and the stream of gratitude from Peaceful Academy’s students and their families to Qin Feng finally came to an end.

As the familiar students left the academy and entered the court, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a little reluctant, but he also knew that everyone had their own path to follow.

Just like him, the path he desperately wanted to take now was to find a way to enter the third realm.

The peaceful life of the past two months was precious, but it could not make Qin Feng forget the dangers of this world.

With demons and ghosts running rampant and powerful enemies lurking in the shadows, the situation of constant danger never went away.

Just like the calm before the storm, in the dead of night, Qin Feng would always feel uneasy in his heart while practicing with the help of countless Destiny Stars in the sky.

Perhaps it was the ability of the Divination of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, but he had a vague feeling that real danger was approaching.

Shaking his head slightly, Qin Feng said to himself, “Worrying for no reason is useless, the most important thing is to improve your strength.”

And to advance from the fourth level of the Free and Unrestrained Realm to the third level of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, as Senior Xuan said, the key is to understand the Domain.

The methods of the Domain can be said to be the most powerful ability of a third-tier Daoist of the human race.

And the stronger the Domain, the stronger the power.

Although Qin Feng wanted to ask Senior Xuan about the intricacies of the Domain, Senior Xuan’s memories were still incomplete and he couldn’t answer his question.

He also tried to take Senior Xuan to the eighth floor attic of the Listen to Rain Pavilion because he had seen from their last experience that there might be a method to restore Senior Xuan’s memory.

However, the barrier on the eighth floor remained stubbornly closed, presumably due to his limited strength.

After all, the last time the barrier on the seventh floor had inexplicably opened was precisely when he had stepped out of the Fifth Stage Magnificent Virtue Realm into the Fourth Stage Free and Unrestrained Realm.

After much deliberation, Qin Feng could only turn to his father for advice on the matter of the domain.

The two were wandering around the Qin Mansion. After listening to this, Father Qin rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then sighed and said, “Feng’er, although I wish to help you, I am powerless to do so.”

“Hmm? Father, don’t try to deceive me. I distinctly remember hearing from both wives that you secretly guided them in their cultivation, especially in mastering the Domain. If that’s the case, why can’t you guide me? Is it because you find it too much trouble to teach me, so you’re making excuses?” Qin Feng asked with a sidelong glance.

“Don’t talk nonsense! How could I, your father, be like that? It’s just that your situation is completely different from hers. Jianli herself is a Divine Martial Warrior of the same origin as me, and she’s exceptionally talented. I can easily guide her in her cultivation of intent and domain, which is only natural.”

“And what about Feilan? She’s from the Dragon Clan, the Azure Dragon lineage. Didn’t you teach her Domain as well? And now her strength has increased even more,” Qin Feng interjected again.

“That’s because she already understood Domain on her own. My guidance to her was merely to refine and improve her existing abilities. But your situation is different. You follow the tradition of the Literature Saint, which is not the same lineage as the Divine Martial Warriors, and you have yet to comprehend the unfolding of Domain. Even if I wanted to guide you, I wouldn’t know where to start,” Father Qin replied truthfully.

Qin Feng lowered his head and pondered, and he could understand the reason, so he sighed and said, “Father, how did you understand the domain back then? Perhaps you could share it with me and I might find some insights.”

Father Qin reminisced for a moment, not holding back any details. He truthfully recounted the circumstances of how he came to understand the Domain, but he also didn’t forget to embellish it a bit, showing off his own wisdom in the Divine Martial, creating a majestic image of a father in front of his son.

After listening, Qin Feng’s expression stiffened. “So, Father, your understanding of the domain back then was just a ‘brush’?”

“What do you mean ‘brush’? I integrated various experiences, reached a natural understanding, and then understood it effortlessly. Of course, this is related to my usual accumulation and incomparable talent…”

“Oh, Feng’er, where are you going? I haven’t finished talking to you yet. The real show is yet to come.”

“I’m going to the Grand Literature Academy to seek guidance from a teacher. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense here.” Qin Feng left without even looking back.

After all, what child would want to listen to his father bragging when he grows up?

…

At the top of the Heavenly Tower in the Grand Literature Academy, the National Teacher couldn’t help but sigh as he looked down on the world.

Xu Lexian had been sent to the Peaceful Academy to teach, and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower had originally thought that no one would disturb his peace again.

However, ever since the bet with the Asura Clan ended, someone would occasionally come to him for advice on how to improve their cultivation in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage.

“Teacher, I’ve been stuck at the sixth level of the Fate Divination Realm for a long time, and I can even perform Three Thousand Qi Observation techniques. Why is it that I still can’t touch the threshold of the Fifth-Level Magnificent Virtue Realm?”

“Following the advice of Yang Qian and Senior Brother Fei Xun, I entered the Peaceful Academy. Although I’ve vaguely grasped something, the progress seems to be too slow. Is there any other way to improve quickly?”

“You mentioned earlier that I have an extraordinary talent that surpasses even the Crown Prince’s, capable of making achievements in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage.” 

“It’s just that I’ve been bogged down by trivial matters in my daily life, hence the stagnation. But now that I’ve put aside the matters of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion and concentrated solely on the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, there seems to be no difference from before?”

“Besides, why is this guy who started cultivating later than me progressing so fast, even surpassing Senior Brother Fei Xun? Does he have a special cultivation method? I hope Teacher can enlighten me.”

“Teacher… why do you keep sighing instead of answering me?”

Indeed, the incessant talker was none other than Anya.

In the past, she hadn’t been particularly focused on cultivation of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. After all, as a princess of the royal family, cultivation wasn’t her only path; she also wanted to share her father’s worries and contribute to the Great Qian in some way.

However, when she witnessed the battle between Qin Feng and the Asura tribe girl, her previous disregard for cultivation changed, as certain emotions kept budding in her heart.

Yes, she felt a strong sense of crisis, but deep down, she didn’t want to admit the source of this feeling.

After listening to these words, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower finally turned around slowly and said solemnly, “The cultivation of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage emphasises the pursuit of the true self. Rushing will only lead to failure. Your eagerness to succeed is turning your priorities upside down, which of course hinders progress.”

Anya furrowed her delicate brow; obviously this wasn’t the answer she wanted to hear.

After a moment, the National Teacher of Heavenly Tower added, “Besides, even if your cultivation continues to improve, it is still not easy to catch up with Qin Feng, let alone catch up with his two wives.”

Upon hearing this, Anya’s beautiful face immediately turned red.
