Overriding the Heaven

The place Chu Yan and the others were going to was a patch of grass near the lake.    

On the grass, a square stone platform had already been set up.    

Each stone platform was large enough for a cultivator to sit cross-legged on.    

Directly in front of these stone platforms was a light golden stone platform.    

The pale golden stone platform was larger and taller. Clearly, it was prepared for the High Scholar who had come to teach.    

Chu Yan and Kong Xian had arrived here relatively early.    

Including them, there were less than ten disciples that had come to the lake.    

It was just that Chu Yan did not know any of the other disciples.    

After all, when they met yesterday, they had only met in a hurry. With over three hundred people, wanting to remember their names and appearances, Chu Yan did not have that kind of leisure time.    

Because there were not many people present, most of the stone platforms were empty. As a result, Chu Yan and Kong Xian went smoothly and they took up the closer stone platform to where the High Master was.    

After all, it was rare to get a chance to listen to a teacher's teachings at such a close distance.    

Chu Yan and Kong Xian sat down and after a few casual words, they began to meditate.    

Chu Yan quickly entered into a meditative state. His gentle breathing and the absorption of spirit energy gave people a feeling that he was endless.    

Immortal Kong just sat there with his eyes closed.    

At this moment, in his heart, he was recalling the various details of the journey back with Chu Yan, all the way until he sat down a moment ago.    

Kong Xian realized that his interactions with Chu Yan were still relatively harmonious.    

Even the small talk they had before they started cultivating didn't give people the awkward feeling of trying to find a topic to talk about.    

Although the two had only known each other for a short period of time, Kong Xian felt a sense of tacit understanding between them, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.    

"I just don't know if he feels this way." Kong Xian thought.    

As time slowly passed, the number of disciples who had arrived at this place increased.    

The early disciples would naturally occupy the front row seats.    

Later on, the disciples could only move towards the back or sit on both sides of the table.    

But of course, because of their position, there would be some small friction and conflict, but it would not have much of an impact.    

The position that Chu Yan occupied, was one of the top three hundred stone platforms here.    

However, he did not know if it was because of his infamous reputation, or because the High Scholar held a different opinion of him, or if there were both possibilities.    

In short, as a disciple who had passed through the Spirit Severing Road and was not chosen directly, no one had any intentions of entering the Heaven's Edge Sect and instead, enter the stone stage under his butt.    

Chu Yan and Kong Xian were about to set off together, but the two of them had already been meditating for a long time, and only when seventy percent of the stone platforms were already sat down, did Chen Dong hurried over.    

Obviously, he had encountered a problem that he was unfamiliar with.    

Even though he knew his destination, it had taken him a long time to find his way here.    

After arriving at the lake, the first thing he did was to find Kong Xian.    

When he saw Chu Yan sitting right next to Kong Xian, the jealousy in his eyes practically turned into a gush of substance.    

Because of the excellent location, the stone platform beside Chu Yan and Kong Xian had long since been occupied by people.    

Chen Dong shamelessly wanted to trade places with the people around Kong Xian.    

However, this was the first time he was listening to the High Scholar's lecture. This was a rare opportunity, and everyone present thought of getting closer to the High Scholar. It would be best to leave an impression on the High Scholar.    

With this thought, perhaps only a fool would give up their good spot to Chen Dong.    

And because of Kong Xian was by his side, Chen Dong was not willing to lose decorum with others and ruin his image.    

Thus, he could only place this debt on Chu Yan, and angrily went to a corner, found a stone platform, and sat down cross-legged.    

After he sat down, he did not forget to fiercely glare in Chu Yan's direction. The anger and bitterness in his heart was hard to put into words.    

After almost an hour, when Chu Yan was meditating, suddenly, his heart strings moved.    

Opening his eyes, he saw an old man sitting on the golden stone platform not far away from him.    

No one knew where this old man came from, and no one knew when he arrived either.    

The old man looked thin and dry, and his face was lined with wrinkles.    

He looked like a seventy or eighty year old man in the secular world. Apart from his eyes, his eyes shone with a brilliant light that didn't match his age.    

At this moment, Chu Yan could sense an extremely powerful aura from this old man.    

This aura was even deeper than that of his own teacher, the one who was in charge of the Shattered Star Pavilion, Hua Muyan. It was like an ancient well and you could not imagine how deep it was.    

Chu Yan straightened his chest and sat upright.    

This was respect for the strong.    

In next to no time, the other disciples present also noticed the appearance of the old man.    

Shock and astonishment filled their faces.    

With the appearance of the old man, the scene became completely silent.    

Since the High Scholar had arrived, the lecture would begin.    

The old man's gaze swept across the scene and spoke.    

He did not introduce himself, nor did he say any nonsense. Instead, he went straight to the point.    

It was so direct that it made people feel uncomfortable.    

"Forgot.    

When you guys came to Heaven's Edge Sect, the first thing you guys did was to learn to forget.    

Forget your origins, forget your origins, forget your previous understanding of the world.    

Why?    

The reason was simple.    

The Upper Kingdom is a true orthodox world built by monks.    

All of the laws here were created by cultivators.    

And the vast majority of the laws, rules, and the majority of the rules of the country you are originally in are all determined by mortals.    

Even if there was a rule between cultivators, it was only skin deep. It wasn't even one ten thousandth of the rule here.    

Today, you have come to the Precious Appearance Kingdom, to the Heaven's Edge Sect, and it is as if you have turned into infants, and want to start anew to get to know a new world. "    

The old man's first short speech was already deafening.    

Although his loud and clear voice did not match with his image at all, what was more shocking was the content and meaning behind his words.    

"Forget about your past and rediscover the world as a baby." Chu Yan thought to himself: "The Upper State is the world of cultivators. The laws of cultivation in the Realm are only on the surface?"    

Chu Yan felt that this old man was a little too arrogant in his words.    

Since they were at the same level as cultivators, the inner core naturally wouldn't change at will.    

For example, a man. Regardless of whether he was in his youth, middle age, or old age, he was still a man.    

Many of the people present had similar expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not agree with what the old man had said.    

However, Chu Yan noticed that Kong Xian had a carefree expression on his face, as if he did not feel that there was anything wrong with the old man's words.    

Right at this moment, the old man continued, "In this place, all of you must learn how to plunder, seize the destiny of the world, and seize the cultivation resources."
