Sun Mo didn’t want to be watched by others. Hence, he chose to enter the Myriad Saint Learning Palace under the accompaniment of Wei Ziyou at midnight.
‘When Sun Mo walked through the corridor where both sides were filled with saint statues, he kept feeling that he was seen through completely. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
Rumble!
The thick and heavy palace gates that had pictures of constellations, the moon, and the sun, including the writing of classics on it, slowly opened.
Sun Mo took a deep breath and entered.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
‘As Sun Mo gradually advanced, the corridor before him would light up and illuminate the path for him.
“Is this an effect caused by spirit runes?”
Sun Mo was very curious. These lamps were not oil lamps or spirit stones. They were a certain type of crystal. It was just that he didn’t know the reason behind them lighting up was because of spirit runes or some mechanisms.
After passing through the 50-meter-long passageway, Sun Mo entered a circular-shaped assembly hall. In it, there was a rostrum made from bronze and its design was very simple. There was no desk before it. Clearly, it was for Sun Mo to go ahead and lecture without referring to his notes.
Behind the rostrum, two-fifth of the area had bookshelves made from some type of stone materials. Numerous books were placed on them and they emitted a radiance like a starlight.
‘These were all crystallization of intelligence.
Sun Mo didn’t get stage fright. As he walked up the rostrum, he surveyed the surroundings.
The wall, which the rostrum was facing, had some names engraved on it. The names shone with a golden light. Some of them weren’t famous, but for others, even someone like Sun Mo knew that they were the names of Saints.
“This is a little interesting!”
Sun Mo focused and attentively sensed the atmosphere. He could feel a vast, majestic, and holy energy in the air.
This energy would cause people to subconsciously feel more reverence and be more humble.
After Sun Mo stood on the rostrum for roughly five minutes, a row of large golden words suddenly appeared in the space before him.
“Great Teacher Sun, you can start any time!”
“By saying this, is it because this is the standard operating procedure or do you have self-awareness?”
Sun Mo was very curious. Such words could also come from A.I. voice assistants from mobile phones.
‘The other party fell silent. Just when Sun Mo thought that his words would be ignored, another row of words appeared.
“Standard operating procedure!”
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo was a little disappointed when he saw this scene. But at the same time, he felt somewhat at ease.
He was disappointed because the entity speaking with him was something like a ‘program’ and did not have the consciousness of a human. If it was the latter case, they would then be able to freely communicate, interact, and improve their relationship, so he would be able to gain more information.
He felt more at ease because there was no need for him to be afraid of how impressive the other party was.
The standard operating procedure meant that it would have to follow the rules, but it had no human awareness. If it had human awareness, it meant that its emotions were uncontrollable. It would be an unknown factor whether it would cause destruction or not.
“Who created you?”
Sun Mo asked again.
After waiting for a few minutes, another row of words appeared.
“Saints and former sages! The noble intellectuals, the trailblazer of the Nine Provinces’ civilization – the Founder!”
Sun Mo felt a headache hearing that. (Are you reciting a poem for me?)
(Can you speak human speech? Also, are your responses not a little too slow? If you were my mobile phone, I would have smashed you and bought a new one. I’m an impatient man.)
Sun Mo calmed himself and asked a few more questions.
Finally, the program grew annoyed.
“Please avoid asking unimportant questions and begin with your lecture!”
‘The program warned.
“Final question, what is your opinion on the meaning of education?”
Sun Mo dug a hole. He wanted to make use of this question to gauge how ‘developed’ this program was.
Sadly, the program wasn’t so easily tricked.
“What’s your answer instead?”
‘The program counter-checked. At the same time, over ten beams of golden light shone on Sun Mo, like infrared lasers from guns.
(What’s this? If I give the wrong answer, would they kill me instantly?)
“If you can’t give the answer within ten seconds, you will be put to death!”
This time around, the words were still golden, but they emitted bone-chilling killing intent.
peel
Sun Mo cursed in his heart. After that, he confidently gave his answer. “The meaning of education is to develop the wisdom of ordinary folks, allowing everyone to know the meaning of living on. There are also some who want to chase their ambitions and dreams. In any case, it allows one to live like a
human, be it physiologically or in terms of thinking.
“To put it simply, it means to ignite the spark of intelligence and allow everyone to be able to brilliantly light themselves up to display the most gorgeous and dazzling fireworks of their lives!”
After Sun Mo finished speaking, he immediately activated the Invulnerable Golden Body and Battlegod Protection. Who knew if his answer was compatible with the answer the program had in mind?
(I don’t want to be killed!)
Sun Mo was conflicted on whether he should flee or not, but the golden beams of light on his body suddenly vanished.
“A very beautiful answer. I approve and admire it!”
In the assembly hall, applause rang out. “Alright, you can start your lecture!”
Sun Mo shrugged. There were no students here, so he wouldn’t be talking about Medical Cultivation. He directly started from the study of spirit rune language.
Sun Mo’s mentality was very calm. He didn’t put engraving his name on the wall as his goal. Instead, he treated this lecture as a way to check for gaps and build his knowledge system more sturdily so he could teach better in the future.
Hence, the amount of time he used was longer than normal. Half a month had passed.
‘Wei Ziyou who was waiting outside the Myriad Saint Learning Palace grew extremely anxious.
(What’s going on?)
(Why is it so long?)
(Could he have failed?)
(That shouldn’t be the case!)
If the lecturer couldn’t obtain the satisfaction of the ‘saint souls’, they would directly be kicked out. But fifteen days had passed, Sun Mo should have finished lecturing, right?
Other than some interested parties gathering to watch the show, the divine book also came.
“Ancestor Mei, have you come out of seclusion?”
Someone saw Mei Yazhi here and hurriedly went over to greet her.
“Excuse me!”
Seeing a group of people coming over, Mei Yazhi moodily ignored them. (My son-in-law might be in trouble, so why the hell would I still remain in seclusion?)
Because Mei Yazhi had concocted a divine pill and comprehended the Jadeblood Pill Heart, various guests of high statuses came to visit her but were all rejected by her. She had wanted to go into closed-door seclusion to sum up her experiences and insights, but then she heard of this piece of bad news.
“Teacher, my s…how’s Sun Mo?”
Mei Yazhi almost blurted out the words ‘son-in-law’.
“I don’t know.”
Wei Ziyou shook his head. He had tried entering but wasn’t able to open the palace doors. “With regard to darkness buildings, our understanding is limited. So, we can only wait.”
“Let me go and try again!”
Li Ziqi bit her lips. She didn’t believe it and ran to push the doors again.
Because the little sunny egg was Sun Mo’s disciple, Wei Ziyou didn’t stop her.
“Tl help you!”
Lu Zhiruo also hurried over.
This time around, when Lu Zhiruo placed her hand on the doors, the palace doors opened.
Wei Ziyou’s spirits stirred, and he immediately rushed out. His speed was so incredibly fast like a bolt of lightning as he vanished in an instant.
Mei Yazhi followed.
“Let’s go!”
Li Ziqi naturally wouldn’t care that this place was a holy ground of the Jixia Academy. She lifted her foot and barged forward, but the instant she entered, she clearly felt a sensation like she just stepped into sticky glue. She could advance, but she couldn’t move her limbs easily.
However, nothing happened to Lu Zhiruo. She entered in a relaxed manner.

‘The spectating great teachers naturally didn’t want to miss out on such a good show, so they hurried over. But at the instant they entered, they seemed to run into a sturdy wall and were directly blocked.
That divine book was no exception.
Only a very few people could enter.
“What the hell? Why can the two of them enter but I can’t?”
“It’s probably because they are Sun Mo’s personal students?”
“Nonsense! It depends on one’s cultivation realm to see if we can enter or not!”
Those great teachers who couldn’t enter started making noise.
Very soon, they discovered that not everyone among Sun Mo’s students could enter either. Other than Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo, only the girl who loved snacking, Qin Yaoguang, could enter.
Wei Ziyou and Mei Yazhi rushed in one after another to the assembly hall. After a while, they saw Sun Mo standing on the rostrum and was currently in a daze. Fingernail-sized balls of light resembling fireflies gathered and transformed into a thick book that flew toward the bookshelf and landed atop of
it.
“Impressive, it’s the first level!”
Wei Ziyou exclaimed in shock.
There were different levels when it came to the bookshelf in the Myriad Saint Learning Palace. The more valuable the knowledge book was, the higher it would be placed. The first level represented top-tier knowledge.
However, what made Wei Ziyou even more shocked was what happened later.
The light that was emitting from Sun Mo didn’t stop. It soon transformed into a book that continued to land on the bookshelf.
‘Wei Ziyou was convinced now. (The knowledge of others could only constitute a single book. But you are good, you are truly erudite.)
“Teacher is fine!”
Lu Zhiruo was at ease now.
‘When Wei Ziyou heard this, he turned his head and looked at her. He just recalled that he had neglected one point. Those who didn’t receive the approval of the saint statues wouldn’t be able to enter. Many high star-ranking great teachers had failed, but how did Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo come in?
(Right, there’s also another Qin Yaoguang.)
And after a while, the light from Sun Mo no longer transformed into books. Instead, it flew toward the wall and engraved two large words ‘Sun Mo’.
A golden glow shone brightly.
BOOM!
The entire Myriad Saint Learning Palace emitted thunderous applause, and dazzling rainbow-colored lights illuminated everything. This indicated that Sun Mo’s arrival brought radiance and glory to the Myriad Saint Learning Palace.
Three minutes later, these phenomena vanished and the Myriad Saint Learning Palace went back to quietness.
Sun Mo walked down the rostrum.
“What did you do?”
Mei Yazhi impatiently asked.
“Lecturing!”
Sun Mo also had no idea. He had thought that he would fail.
Actually, this time around, Sun Mo could be considered succeeding via a lucky stroke. Great teachers who had entered the Myriad Saint Learning Palace in the past would always be very cautious and carefully prepare their lesson plans. They would even practice their tone of voice and speed of speaking to
find the most optimal balance.
However, Sun Mo was different. He had only lectured normally.
“Sorry, I’ve made everyone worried.”
Sun Mo apologized.
“I’s good as long as you are fine!”
Mei Yazhi touched Sun Mo all around to inspect his body. After confirming that nothing was wrong, she heaved a sigh of relief.
(If you were injured, how would I be able to carry my grandkids in the future?)
As Sun Mo described his experience while walking out, the moment he stepped out of the palace door, a book could be seen flying toward him, wanting to enter his embrace..
