I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 672 672: Taking Office at the Sacred Court

Previously on I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors?...
Cao Youqian explains his breakthrough to over a hundred Dao Traces stemmed from a Godhead fragment bestowed by his master, Chu Feng, impressing the Cao Family Saint who defers to Chu Feng on the Dean selection. Chu Feng consults his disciples, with Daqian choosing to remain at the Wendao Sect and Xiao Chen opting to stay to aid Jiuwu's path to Sainthood and secure his sect's legacy. Amid a joyous banquet reunion filled with toasts to their disciples' imperial potential, Chu Feng later advises Jiang Yan, granting him a Supreme Dao Fruit Pill for future breakthroughs. Bing Yan agrees to serve as Dean, and upon the group's return to the Sacred Court, Suppression God King announces her official appointment.

"God King is wise."

All those present in the grand hall responded with deep respect.

The Suppression God King spoke softly: "Excellent. Proceed to declare this decision and inform the other Sacred Grounds."

"Yes."

The group acknowledged and left the hall one by one.

The Saint from the Heavenly Dao Institute brimmed with joy, acting as though Bing Yan was his own prized pupil.

Noticing the smug look on the old fellow's face, the Cao Family Saint remarked in a teasing manner: "Old Bai, don't overlook the fact that Dean Bing once led the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, not your Heavenly Dao Institute."

"What of it? Didn't she come from my Heavenly Dao Institute anyway?"

The Heavenly Dao Institute Saint remained defiant.

The others just chuckled at the sight and kept quiet, departing in turn. Observing this, the Heavenly Dao Institute Saint mused inwardly: All of you are simply envious of me.

Six months passed, and Bing Yan rose smoothly to become Dean of the Wendao Academy. Suddenly, visitors flocked from every side to offer congratulations. Though she was a fresh Saint, with a God King as her spouse, none dared to slight this rising figure.

Once Bing Yan took the helm at the Wendao Academy, Chu Feng's household relocated from Miaomiao Mountain to the Dean's Courtyard.

On their arrival day, Chu Feng strolled through the grounds. After exploring, he whispered to himself: "I never imagined a time would come when I'd reside in the Dean's Courtyard."

Both Chu Yuzhi and Chu Yingjin inquired simultaneously: "Father, if you desired this place so much, why didn't you take the role of Dean at the Wendao Academy before?"

Chu Feng gave a casual shrug: "Back then, your father aimed to grow even stronger, so I chose not to pursue it."

"I understand."

Chu Yuzhi whispered, then added: "So starting now, does that make me the Holy Maiden of the Wendao Academy?"

"Not quite—you're the Divine Maiden of the Wendao Academy. However, until you reach Sainthood, no more reckless adventures for you. If strength is your goal, I can arrange for your training on the Hongyuan Continent."

Chu Feng stated firmly. This young one had advanced to Great Sage. Allowing her the same freedoms as earlier might invite unknown chaos.

"Really?"

Chu Yuzhi gazed at her father with hopeful eyes and questioned. She had grown bored with the Xuan Continent's amusements. Her father forbade trips to the Heaven Continent or elsewhere, but a jaunt to Hongyuan Continent seemed promising.

"Of course it's real."

Chu Feng replied calmly. Better to have her hone her skills on Hongyuan Continent than stir up issues among the Wendao Academy's students. Besides, humanity hadn't yet claimed dominance there.

"I want to go."

Chu Yuzhi declared instantly.

Hearing that, Chu Yingjin quickly chimed in: "Father, send me along too."

Chu Feng responded: "Very well. Tomorrow, once I consult with your mothers, I'll transport you both to the Hongyuan Continent. But heed this: never act against heaven or defy justice. If you do, I'll handle it myself."

"Your daughter complies."

The pair answered together.

Chu Feng didn't delay further. After chatting with his cherished daughters and stunning wives, he dispatched them to the Hongyuan Continent.

As the two girls set foot on Hongyuan Continent, the rich spiritual energy captivated them immediately. They scanned their surroundings, their eyes soon locking onto Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian.

"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother."

"Our two Junior Sisters, you've arrived."

Xiao Chen displayed a rare grin upon spotting his junior sisters.

Ji Jiuwu and the rest advanced to offer greetings: "Salutations to the two Senior Sisters."

They had already gotten word from their Master that his treasured daughters would join the Wendao Sect for cultivation. The prospect of welcoming these senior sisters thrilled them.

Chu Yuzhi turned toward the sounds and, spotting the junior brothers, smiled and said: "Junior Brothers, stand. I hope you'll look after me going forward."

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare."

Following the warm exchanges, Chu Yuzhi and Chu Yingjin fully integrated into the Wendao Sect and started their cultivation journey.

Years raced past swiftly. In no time, Chu Feng's sixty-year break ended. This day marked his return to the Sacred Court. Bidding goodbye to his lovely wives, he activated the teleportation array to the Sacred Court. Joining him were Chen Qianqian, Fang Mu, and Shi Xuan as well.

By now, every one of his disciples had stepped into the Half-Saint stage. With little left to teach them, he could savor a relaxed existence.

Among his followers, only Bai Qian had ventured to the Hongyuan Continent for training after hitting Great Sage. The rest—Qin Qin, Wang Baole, Chu Caiyi, and more—stayed at the Wendao Academy, leading their own institutes.

Apart from the leads of the Heavenly Dao Institute and Pill Dao Institute, every other institute head position belonged to Chu Feng's disciples. The Wendao Academy truly operated as his personal domain now.

The Sacred Court raised no complaints about this. After all, in the younger cultivators, Chu Feng's pupils shone the brightest.

In these passing decades, Bing Yan and Princess Miaoyu each crafted a Dao Fruit Pill, surpassing one hundred Dao Traces and granting Chu Feng two additional Godheads.

Currently, Chu Feng stood as a God King with eight Godheads. Even in the Sacred Court, he counted among the elite powerhouses. Within the Wendao Academy's God Kings, his power placed him in the top ten.

The party traversed the teleportation array and reached the Sacred Court promptly. As Chu Feng emerged, a cluster of known faces greeted him.

"God King Qiankun, at last you've come—we've been waiting."

The Pill Saints and Great Sage Alchemists of the Sacred Court exclaimed with enthusiasm.

In truth, decades meant nothing to Saints and Great Sages like them—just a fleeting moment. Yet, the promise of Chu Feng's alchemy guidance had them yearning eagerly for his return.

With Chu Feng's arrival today, the burden weighing on their minds lifted at last.

Taking in the group's eager looks, Chu Feng grinned and saluted: "I've made you wait too long. Allow me to toast myself as penalty today."

"Hahaha..."

"Absolutely necessary!"

The Saints knew well of Chu Feng's legendary winemaking prowess. Lately, each had sampled a sip of the fresh Supreme Saint Wine, its exquisite flavor leaving them enchanted and eager. Tonight, they could indulge completely.

Noting the lively mood, Chu Feng promptly presented his disciples to the assembly.

"Qianqian, Xiaomu, Xuan'er, come greet the esteemed seniors of our Wendao Academy."

"Yes."

The trio replied and moved ahead to introduce themselves and bow to the group.

Every Pill Court cultivator brimmed with riches. Spotting the newcomers, they showered gifts generously. Had the three not been worldly, the bounty might have stunned them.

That evening, the feast unfolded in Chu Feng's fresh courtyard. After several rounds of drinks, the Mysterious Wood Pill Saint inquired: "Fellow Daoist Qiankun, when will you fire up the furnace for pill refining?"

Chu Feng chuckled: "That'll need to hold off for a year or two more. I possess just one set of ingredients for Dao Fruit Pills right now. Plus, I have two alchemy apprentices. I need to await their arrival before starting, so they can absorb the refining methods."
