Meng Tianzheng

Chapter 445: Meng Tianzheng

Celestial God Academy: The mountains were majestic, filled with auspicious Qi, and all transformed from stars. One glance was enough to know it was a rare pure land in the human world.

The mountains undulated, and spiritual lands stretched for miles, like tens of thousands of True Dragons lying dormant!

Inside the mountain gate, it was incredibly sacred. On one giant mountain after another, magnificent palaces and pavilions stood, divine waterfalls cascaded, and Immortal light surged, truly astonishing.

Moreover, fragrant sacred medicines wafted from those mountains, and divine medicines capable of running about shimmered with captivating colors, astonishing people.

In addition, there were clear springs and glittering lakes, nurturing ancient Dragons within them, treated as ornamental fish and insects, occasionally spouting water and electric light.

Lin Fan only took a quick glance and couldn't help but sigh, "They haven't even started recruiting yet, and they already have such a grand display?"

Furthermore, the moment he disembarked from the warship, someone immediately rushed over to guide him.

"Little Holy Emperor, please come this way. Senior Meng's residence is over there!"

Lin Fan nodded. The person who came was from the Holy Emperor Palace and would serve as an Elder at the Celestial God Academy. He was also a great master of the Dunyijing Realm.

Otherwise, ordinary Cultivators would not be qualified to cultivate students here.

Subsequently, Lin Fan walked through the divine mountains, crossed a lake, and arrived at Meng Tianzheng's secluded dwelling, which looked very ordinary.

This was because it was neither a spiritual mountain nor a forest filled with divine trees, but a common swamp.

Around it, everything was equally ordinary. There were no magnificent palaces or pavilions; a single thatched hut was the only building here.

It could be said that there was no simpler place, devoid of grand Dao韵 or lingering Immortal Qi, just plain and simple.

In front of the thatched hut, there were only some muddy puddles, where loaches and Dragon fish occasionally appeared, with no other living beings, incredibly monotonous.

Compared to the outside world, it was like heaven and earth. Lin Fan even wondered, "Am I still in the Celestial God Academy?"

Are you sure I haven't arrived in the countryside?

Of course, he could also understand that for an existence like Meng Tianzheng, who was only half a step away from Immortal Ascension, the environment no longer mattered.

Unless one went to the Immortal Domain, even the best Immortal Caves would be useless.

One must know that a Supreme could suck dry an entire Star Domain with a single breath, let alone an extreme Supreme like Meng Tianzheng.

As one of the strongest and most ancient people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only Wang Changsheng could compare to him in this era.

At this moment, Meng Tianzheng, dressed in a hemp robe, sat on a brown stone, holding a bamboo rod, looking very leisurely as he fished.

Lin Fan looked at the quiet old man, feeling a sense of trepidation, and couldn't help but think, "Am I about to meet him? The guide for the Body as a Seed path!"

It could be said that if it weren't for Meng Tianzheng's help and guidance in the original work, Shi Hao would not have been able to walk this path.

After all, this old man was considered half-successful and possessed considerable experience.

"Senior Meng!" Lin Fan bowed.

"You've arrived. Are you sure you want to embark on that path of nine deaths and one life?" Meng Tianzheng asked.

"Yes!" Lin Fan nodded, his voice firm, saying, "Rather than live a mediocre life, waiting for the fate of the Immortal Ancient Era to repeat itself, it's better to fight for hope now!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light appeared in Meng Tianzheng's eyes. He turned to look at him, his hemp robe fluttering, a shocking might emanating from his calm demeanor.

However, this pressure came and went quickly.

But for Lin Fan, that brief moment felt like walking through Hell and then returning, incredibly terrifying!

Lin Fan was astonished. Was this the terror of the First Supreme? The moment he was stared at, even his blood froze, and his mind went blank.

"Alas, he said the same thing when he first met me," Meng Tianzheng said, letting out a sigh.

"He?" Lin Fan was stunned.

However, he quickly understood that this person was likely referring to the Holy Emperor, his nominal father.

"What if the Body as a Seed succeeds? It only allows one to reign Supreme in the Human Dao Realm, ultimately unable to achieve Immortal Ascension.

What hope? The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been cursed by darkness, cutting off all paths, not giving people a chance to grow…"

Meng Tianzheng sighed, filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

Then, with a wave of his hand, boundless rays of light surged, forming a scene.

Within it, a towering man, accompanied by a golden three-legged cauldron, was undergoing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, seemingly about to step onto the Immortal Path.

However, a black mist appeared, and the man, like a Heavenly Emperor, still fell on the Immortal Path, perishing together with a black hand.

Lin Fan was startled. Was this the Holy Emperor, the first to successfully cultivate the Body as a Seed?

He had clearly stepped into the Immortal Dao Realm, but unfortunately, he failed at the last moment, killed by an even more powerful being within the black mist.

"Did you see? Your father, so powerful, still couldn't achieve Immortal Ascension. Do you still want to walk that dangerous path?"

The霞光 disappeared, and Meng Tianzheng returned to his peaceful state, counseling him here.

However, Lin Fan's answer remained the same. He said earnestly, "No matter how difficult or dangerous the path ahead, I still want to walk that path. If there is no hope, I will create hope!"

"Moreover, Senior Meng, you must also be very unwilling, otherwise you wouldn't have established the Celestial God Academy."

Lin Fan's voice was low, expressing his determination. No matter what the path ahead held, it would not change his belief in becoming stronger.

"Walking this path is not simple. From the Immortal Ancient Era until now, only your father has succeeded, which shows how difficult it is," Meng Tianzheng said.

This was a broken path; one peerless hero after another died on the way, falling midway, with no ancients succeeding before them.

Many people died, and the survivors were half-crippled, as if they had all fallen into an abyss, never to recover.

If it weren't for the Holy Emperor's success in reconnecting the broken path, the world would have considered this a dead end, an impossible path.

However, in the hundreds of thousands of years since, countless people have tried, and only he has succeeded; all others have failed.

"Actually, with your Aptitude, the Holy Emperor Palace would surely find you a Supreme ancient seed. If you cultivate ancient methods, your future would not be bad either," Meng Tianzheng said.

"My heart is as hard as iron. Once I make a choice, it cannot be shaken!" Lin Fan made his final decision, his gaze resolute.

Rather than live a mediocre life, it was better to let life burn brightly, to blossom splendidly. And death, for him, was not terrifying!

Because he knew very well what the future held; it was incredibly cruel. Even if they won in the end, it would be a tragic victory.

It was no exaggeration to say that by the final battle, everyone had died at least once, and the three Heavenly Emperors were no exception.

Therefore, he did not fear death; he yearned even more for transcendence, hoping to stand at the highest peak, to become an Immortal Emperor, or even beyond the Sacrificial Dao.

"Good. Since you have the determination and dare to walk that path, I am relieved. I fear those who hesitate and retreat in the face of battle the most."

Meng Tianzheng smiled, his face radiating light, and his eyes held approval, as if he saw the shadow of an old friend.

"Before you walk this path, you must pass a test."

"What test?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"There is a path within the Academy, left by your father. It contains his complete Legacy. If you can pass through it, you will be halfway to success, and perhaps you won't need my guidance; you might be able to comprehend it yourself."

Meng Tianzheng pointed his finger. Deep within the Academy was a Forbidden Land, established by the Holy Emperor, intended to select a successor.

Throughout the world, if anyone understood the Body as a Seed most thoroughly, besides Meng Tianzheng, it would be the Holy Emperor, who was the first to successfully cultivate it.

"Good, I'll go and try now!" Lin Fan's eyes gleamed.
