Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Jiushan Military Academy welcomed a new teacher.

On the training ground of Struggle Immortal Island, over a hundred disciples sat in a circle. Zheng Fa, along with Elder Han and others, sat at the front, watching Xie Qingxue who was standing in the circle.

Xie Qingxue looked a bit uncomfortable, her gaze occasionally searching for Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa knew that although she was talkative, being taciturn in front of outsiders was a deeply ingrained habit. Now, teaching a large class for the first time was understandably awkward for her.

He nodded gently towards Xie Qingxue, his smile carrying a hint of reassurance.

After all, Xie Qingxue was the first True Inheritor of Tianhe, a Divinity Transformation Real Person, with a strong will. The discomfort was fleeting as she steadied herself and, after nodding to Zheng Fa, began to speak:

"In this life, I have no special talents except for Sword Dao, which is my only merit. Therefore, your Sect Leader and I have jointly devised a course called 'Sword Cultivation Introduction'..."

"Today is the first lesson."

"Let me introduce myself first…"

She had prepared beforehand and listened to Zheng Fa's lectures. Letting go of distractions, she delivered her lecture with greater fluency.

Of course, what made the class effective was the attitude of the disciples!

Zheng Shan sat behind her brother, ears perked up, listening carefully to Mr. Xie's sword cultivation class, not wanting to miss a single word.

It wasn't just her; which disciple here wasn't engrossed and absorbed?

Not to mention how famous Sword Cultivators had become in the Xuanwei Realm after Tianhe Venerable.

Just to speak of Xie Qingxue's status…

From the Tianhe Sect, True Inheritor, Senior Sister!

Among the current generation of Xuanwei cultivators, Xie Qingxue's talent in Sword Dao was arguably the first!

Who knows how many Tianhe Secret Techniques are in her mind!

If she wanted to take disciples, those wanting to apprentice under her could line up from the Hundred Immortals Alliance to the Tianhe Sect!

To teach them 'Sword Cultivation Introduction'?

Zheng Shan, having lived in the Jiushan Realm for several years, naturally knew what it meant for Xie Qingxue to impart Sword Dao.

Who would dare not cherish this opportunity?

Looking at her brother's back, she wondered in her heart:

How did he invite her… Did he sell himself?

…

Yan Wushuang had the opposite question in mind—how did his Senior Sister sell herself?

In his memory, his Senior Sister had of course guided his Sword Dao.

But she never publicly taught Sword Cultivation classes in the Tianhe Sect.

Her first time, and she gave it to the Jiushan Sect?

However, Elder Han beside him understood the reason:

After hearing about the reasons behind the Tianhe Chaos and Zheng Fa's thoughts, he and Xie Qingxue were mired in the same pain—

Emotionally, they disagreed with the choices of the Four Veins Ancestor.

Rationally, they also found it difficult to claim they would absolutely follow the Tianhe Ancestor's ideals.

The matter had surpassed the question of being a Tianhe traitor...

It was about a life-long pursuit reaching its end.

His lifetime of resentment and dissatisfaction halted at the resolute Divinity Transformation.

Xie Qingxue… her lifelong silent tenacity had become futile in the face of such decisions.

He even felt a sense of demonic imbalance when first hearing about the causes of the Tianhe Chaos.

A way out...

Elder Han glanced at Zheng Fa, sighing inwardly—

To Qingxue, Zheng Fa's ideology might already be the only way forward.

…

Zheng Fa looked at the increasingly composed and articulate Xie Qingxue, feeling quite satisfied:

As for Xie Qingxue imparting Sword Dao at Jiushan, in the modern world it would be akin to a Nobel laureate lecturing at an obscure college...

Xie Qingxue's presence essentially filled the blank in Sword Dao research in the Jiushan Realm... No, it filled the entirely blank Sword Dao research in the Jiushan Realm.

Not to mention, this fairy was also a Dao Fruit... a Supreme Treasure.

Facing the menacing Haori Mountain, with Xie Qingxue's assistance, Zheng Fa felt much more assured.

He also understood Xie Qingxue's choice—besides the fundamental divide with the Four Veins of the Tianhe Sect, Xie Qingxue inevitably wanted to leave some inheritance for the Tianhe Sect, to forge good bonds.

Sect Leader Yan's strange behavior, Zheng Fa couldn't fathom the reason, but according to Mu Qingyan, the Tianhe Sect indeed faced the danger of collapse.

Xie Qingxue probably made a decision.

He looked at Yan Wushuang beside him, who was deeply engrossed… sighing inwardly that this guy had no idea, but his luck was indeed great.

No…

As he understood, Yan Wushuang's Senior Sister, even Elder Han, his Guardian, were chosen by Yan Wushuang's father.

In that case, that Sect Leader Yan… truly had an eye for talents.

…

Xie Qingxue's insights into Sword Dao were far from ordinary. Even Zheng Fa, as he listened, found great gains and momentarily forgot about the passage of time.

And since Sword Dao is fundamentally an attack method, sometimes when Xie Qingxue spoke, she would demonstrate a sword technique for the disciples.

The Qingping Sword in her hand transformed endlessly, sometimes like a storm, sometimes morphing into a mist of smoke and glowing clouds. Her form was like a celestial swan, graceful yet fierce, free yet harboring hidden lethal intent.

It left spectators dazzled and amazed.

Zheng Fa heard his sister behind him exclaiming softly, seemingly full of admiration.

Besides the disciples behind him, even by the end of the class, he felt somewhat unsated.

Xie Qingxue pursed her lips, looked at Zheng Fa, her eyes carrying a hint of subtle unease, as if wondering how her teaching went.

Zheng Fa didn't speak, only stood up. The Jiushan disciples behind him also stood up in unison, paid their respects as disciples, and said together:

"Thank you, teacher, for the enlightening instruction."

The voices were not loud, but the tone was sincere.

Seeing the admiration in many of the Jiushan Sect disciples' eyes, Xie Qingxue blinked, maintaining her composure, returned the salute seriously.

After the disciples dispersed, Zheng Fa walked over to Xie Qingxue and smiled, "How does the fairy feel?"
