Chapter 2 The Heavenly Communicator
Su Yu borrowed a copy of "The Treatise on Response and Retribution" from someone else to read.
Throughout the journey, Xiaoyu felt that Su Yu was an extraordinary person, possibly a reclusive disciple of a top-tier cultivation force. She even suspected that Su Yu was a teacher from the back mountain of the academy, but the name Su Yu did not match the names of the disciples from the back mountain of the academy that she knew.
The Taishang Ganying Pian is an introductory text for practitioners. Logically, every literate person in the Tang Dynasty should have memorized the Taishang Ganying Pian by heart at a very young age.
Seeing Su Yu's delighted expression, Xiao Yu recalled how she first recited the Taishang Ganying Pian.
For Xiaoyu, it was a bad experience. After the initial excitement and exhilaration, Xiaoyu was disappointed for a long time after her dream of cultivation was shattered.
Like her father and the vast majority of people in the human world, she had no aptitude for cultivation.
Su Yu read the text word by word, sometimes reading aloud when she was engrossed in it. Su Yu could clearly feel her body undergoing some subtle changes as she read the Taishang Ganying Pian.
Xiaoyu was not a cultivator and could not sense this change, but she did not disturb Su Yu. Her original idea of letting Su Yu sit in front of the carriage was also temporarily abandoned.
In the world of Haotian, the transformation from mortal to cultivator can sometimes happen in the blink of an eye. Su Yu needs absolute and stable focus to maintain the balance of this mountain climbing movement, waiting for a moment of sudden enlightenment.
Su Yu read the Taishang Ganying Pian once, twice, three times...
Su Yu walked slower and slower, slower than everyone else, until finally it was almost impossible to see him moving. The carriage beside him followed closely, providing him with coordinates and a sense of direction to prevent him from falling.
Many hikers were stopped outside the academy gate, but Xiaoyu's carriage and Su Yu passed through the gate without any hindrance.
May all sentient beings cultivate themselves to be free from old age and death, and may all calamities and poisons not harm their lives.
May all sentient beings possess a body free from illness and suffering, enjoy a long lifespan, and be able to go wherever they please.
Su Yu murmured, the words were very simple, yet they made him feel hot all over, as if endless power was being released from his body, allowing him to vent it freely.
Close your eyes and stand still.
As Su Yu's spirit pulsed slowly with the words in her memory, an indescribable power spread through her heart and permeated every corner of her body.
The carriage stopped in the center of the courtyard at the main gate of the academy, with four soldiers quietly guarding Su Yu to prevent him from being disturbed.
The academy's opening was a lively affair, with many students waiting to take the exams coming and going. Upon seeing the soldiers from the princess's residence, they all wisely avoided them.
The students of the academy held a high status, but compared to the princess most beloved by His Majesty the Tang Emperor, they were still somewhat lacking.
In the Tang Dynasty, not every princess and prince could drive a carriage into the academy; Xiaoyu was an exception.
Su Yu regained consciousness two hours later.
The morning exams at the academy were nearing their end.
Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, while the little fish girl, holding an oil-paper umbrella, stood quietly beside him, shielding him from the sun.
"call……"
Su Yu exhaled and said softly, "It feels so relaxing."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Su, on entering the Dao."
Su Yu was taken aback. He thought that since he had just started reading the Taishang Ganying Pian, it wouldn't be easy for him to gain anything. After all, Ning Que, the protagonist of this world, had been studying the Taishang Ganying Pian for more than ten years without much effect. He didn't believe that he could see anything new in the Taishang Ganying Pian on his first reading.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yu exclaimed in delight, "Entering the Dao means that Mr. Su can cultivate and embark on the path of cultivation."
"I just asked Professor Huang He at the academy, and he said that Mr. Su will enter the initial stage of knowledge in the next few days."
"Professor Huang can tell from Mr. Su's sudden enlightenment that Mr. Su has exceptional talent and will definitely become a remarkable cultivator in the future."
"Moreover, Professor Huang said that as long as Mr. Su is willing, he can become a student in the academy directly without taking the entrance exam."
The academy is not a place where one can enter solely based on cultivation talent. Xiao Yu's recommendation also played a role. If it were a cultivator from another country, they would still need to pass the academy's entrance exam.
Su Yu's lips curled up slightly. He had transmigrated, become a cultivator with exceptional talent, and even joined an academy as a student. All the good things had fallen into his lap.
When Xiaoyu saw that Su Yu was smiling strangely, without any of his previous carefree and unrestrained manner, she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of Su Yu's eyes.
"Mr. Su is going to see Professor Huang? I think you should go see Professor Huang to learn more about spiritual practice."
Su Yu reached out and grabbed the small white hand in front of her, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoyu."
At this moment, she noticed that Xiaoyu had become more refined and elegant, and looked much better than when she was in the carriage.
The little fish had removed the expensive ornaments from her head and washed off her makeup, looking very fresh, innocent, and cute. Her clothes were no longer luxurious; she had changed into a simple maid's outfit.
Xiao Yu blushed, pulled her hand back, and said urgently, "Mr. Su, I think you should go and meet Professor Huang He. He is a very powerful cultivator."
Su Yu replied with an "okay," stood up, stretched her body, and carefully savored the feeling from just now.
Seeing that Su Yu hadn't moved, Xiao Yu became anxious and, disregarding her embarrassment, reached out and grabbed Su Yu's hand, intending to lead him to find Professor Huang.
The morning exams were about to end, and Professor Huang was about to enter a busy period, making it difficult to see him again, so Xiaoyu seemed a little anxious.
Su Yu is someone Xiao Yu values. Even Professor Huang He praised Su Yu's talent, which shows that Su Yu will have great achievements in the future.
As a royal princess, Xiaoyu hopes that Su Yu can become her helper, so Xiaoyu also wants to help Su Yu.
One cultivator after another is not the same as another. Professor Huang He is the pillar of the academy. If Su Yu can be guided into the academy by Professor Huang He, then Su Yu's future achievements will be even greater, and he may have the opportunity to ascend to the second floor of the academy in the future.
Su Yu was pulled along by the little girl, passing through buildings and alleys, speeding all the way to a quiet and elegant little building.
On the steps downstairs sat a chubby boy. He glanced at the person approaching, gave a simple, honest smile, and shifted his position to make way for them.
Su Yu and Xiao Yu didn't pay any attention and quickly ran upstairs.
Xiao Yu knocked anxiously on the door and called out, "Professor Huang, I've brought Mr. Su. He's willing to join the academy!"
An aged voice came from inside the house:
"It's Xiaoyu, bring her in quickly."
"I remember you being quite dignified, how come you're so impulsive and energetic?"
Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting. He had seen similar greetings on the way, so he simply copied them.
"Student Su Yu is new to spiritual practice and would appreciate Professor Huang's guidance."
Upon hearing that Su Yu was new to cultivation, Huang He stood up and stared into Su Yu's eyes, his expression becoming solemn.
"First time cultivating? Judging from your enlightened appearance, you don't seem like someone who's just started cultivating. Young friend Su, please don't be joking."
Xiao Yu chimed in, "I can testify that when Mr. Su and I went up the mountain together, it was probably the first time he read the Taishang Ganying Pian, and he read it very slowly at first."
"It was only after entering the academy that I memorized the Taishang Ganying Pian and began that period of enlightenment."
Seeing that Su Yu's eyes were calm, Huang He softened his expression and said, "Little Su, Little Yu, please sit down. It's not that I don't believe you."
"The cultivation world is full of wonders; there are even those who, upon hearing the Dao in the morning, immediately entered the Dao."
"The great master behind the academy was an extraordinary person. He attained enlightenment at the age of thirteen, reached the Unperplexed Realm at the age of thirty, and reached the Profound Realm in three months. He broke through to the Knowing Destiny Realm that very evening."
"But Master Da is actually not good at cultivation."
Su Yu knew that Master Li Manman was a legendary figure who was focused on all sorts of things, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even formations, but he was not focused on cultivation.
Yet this very person accomplished what others could not.
What Huang He didn't say was that after Li Manman broke through to the Knowing Destiny Realm, he stepped into the legendary Fifth Realm, the Boundless Realm, on the third day.
"Don't be nervous, young friend Su. Let me examine your Qi Sea and Snow Mountain."
Professor Huang He's fingertip hovered over the spiritual light on Su Yu's chest. After a short while, a suppressed groan escaped his throat as he exclaimed in shock:
"This...this is..."
"The Celestial Being!"
"This is impossible. How could there be another one like this in the world?"
Professor Huang He suddenly took a step back, bumping into the carved beam behind him. The wooden plaque at his waist fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Huang He looked at Su Yu, his pupils seeming to surge like a tsunami.
"The seventeen acupoints of the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain have been opened!"
The last person to have all seventeen acupoints of Qi Sea and Snow Mountain open was named Ke Haoran, the junior uncle in the academy, and a legendary figure of his time.
When Ke Haoran traveled the world, all the geniuses and prodigies in the world had to take a detour, because in front of Ke Haoran, everyone was mediocre.
Ke Haoran could learn the Taoist magic and supernatural powers that were difficult for ordinary people to master with just a glance, and he could integrate them into his own practice, making them even more powerful.
Ke Haoran was so proud that even the most renowned master in the world could not accept him as a disciple.
Huang He had lived long enough to have seen Ke Haoran and felt the surging energy within Ke Haoran's body, as vast as the starry sea!
Because I've seen it before, I'm deeply moved.
"Su Yu, did you hear that? Professor Huang said you're a genius!"
Xiaoyu jumped up happily and hugged Su Yu tightly. As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she knew about cultivation from a very young age.
What is a Tian Tong Zhe? This is a legendary being recorded in Taoist classics, and Su Yu is now also referred to as a Tian Tong Zhe by the highly respected Professor Huang He.
What does it mean that the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain have seventeen acupoints open? The human body's Qi Sea and Snow Mountain have a total of seventeen acupoints. Opening ten acupoints is enough to embark on cultivation, and opening thirteen or fourteen acupoints is enough to be called a genius. Su Yu has opened all seventeen acupoints.
This means that Su Yu will become the most outstanding genius in the Haotian World.
Xiaoyu was thrilled to meet such an extraordinary person at the foot of Shuyuan Mountain, and even more fortunate to have gotten to know this extraordinary person.
In the future, Su Yu has the potential to become a legendary figure comparable to Master Ke Haoran.
And Xiaoyu is a witness to this legend.
Su Yu swallowed hard. Upon hearing this good news, his eyes lit up. Seventeen acupoints in his Qi Sea Snow Mountain had been opened, far exceeding his expectations. This talent was comparable to that of Ke Haoran, the legendary junior uncle of the academy.
Ning Que, the protagonist of this world, experienced countless hardships and life-or-death situations, but in the end, he only managed to open ten acupoints in his Qi Sea Snow Mountain.
Su Yu, however, is a Heavenly Master, born with the strongest talent.
No wonder Su Yu could easily enter the Dao simply by reading the Taishang Ganying Pian without needing anyone's guidance.
With the talent of opening seventeen acupoints in his Qi Sea Snow Mountain, he will not encounter any bottlenecks once he begins cultivation.
Su Yu had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could immediately step into the initial stage of acquaintance, or even transcend the stages of initial acquaintance, perception, and confusion...
