Chapter 323 Entering the Holy Path
After Ye Ru and Chen Tianjian entered the room, they rested for the night.
While reading can restore one's talent and intellect, rest is still necessary.
Good morning, Lord Chen.
Ye Ru pushed open the door and saw that Chen Tianjian had been waiting at the door for a long time. He immediately bowed and said respectfully.
"Good morning, Chief Ye. I have specifically looked into this trip to the Holy Road. The gains inside are good, but the dangers are even greater. You are regarded as a thorn in the side by Yuzhang Academy, the demon race, and the monster race. Once you enter, I am afraid there will be great danger."
Chen Tianjian entered Ye Ru's room, frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and pondered.
"I know that just from this battle, I can sense that Dean Shen and those four talented scholars are all carrying murderous intent. It is very likely that Shen Ming wants to defeat me in that battle."
Ye Ru handed Chen Tianjian a cup of tea and said softly.
"They dare not. Although they claim to be subordinates of the Left Prime Minister, they would not dare to act without the Left Prime Minister's order. Moreover, since you have defeated that young man from the Huisheng family, you will also have a spot in the Holy Path. Going back on your word will be ridiculed by all scholars in the world."
Chen Tianjian smiled slightly and said.
"Anyway, the demon race, the demon clan, and Yuzhang Academy are all targeting me now, so I'm not too afraid. If all else fails, I'll just find a few helpers on the Holy Road, wouldn't that be the best?"
Ye Ru smiled and said.
"I can't help you on the path to sainthood either. You'll have to rely on yourself. Rest more these next two days and don't read. The way of both literature and martial arts is to balance tension and relaxation. Reading is important, but you also need to conserve your energy so that you can maximize your strength."
Chen Tianjian pushed the table aside, then stood up, stretched, and stared intently at Ye Ru as he spoke.
"The students know."
“Alright, this is a good opportunity to take a look at Yuzhang Academy. You stay here for now, I'll go and wander around.”
After saying that, Chen Tianjian left. Ye Ru watched Chen Tianjian's retreating figure, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Somewhere in Yuzhang Academy.
"Damn it, how could a mere scholar like me be outdone by a student who only passed the imperial examinations? If word gets out, how can I ever be one of the Four Great Talents!"
The teacup in Huiqing Palace's hand was suddenly crushed, water flowed down the cup onto her hand, and finally slid to the ground.
"When you are young, you should be wary of fighting. Confucius also said, 'A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.' You have committed a grave mistake."
Meng Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he spoke.
“Meng Yun is right. You are too arrogant. Ye Ru’s talent is unfathomable. He has never written a poem about cultivating virtue. In fact, most of his poems are astonishing. I hope that the four of you will unite when you enter Yuzhang Academy and work together to fight against Ye Ru.”
Shen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile filled with a chilling intent.
He knew that no one, including Huiqing Palace, could possibly be a match for Ye Ru. Although Meng Yun was just one step away from becoming a Jinshi, in his opinion, he was no match for Ye Ru at all.
"Don't worry, Dean. The other party has offended the Left Prime Minister. We will not stand idly by and will naturally eliminate him. On the other hand, it is also for our own sake. With such a powerful enemy around, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep peacefully on the Holy Road."
Meng Yun smirked and said in a deep voice.
"Alright, Huiqing Palace, this is your best chance for revenge, you must seize it."
Shen Ming turned his gaze to Huiqing Palace and said calmly.
"Yes, sir, I will make him pay a hundredfold for this humiliation."
Huiqing Palace clenched her hands tightly and murmured.
As Yuzhang Academy prepared to take action, the day for the opening of the Holy Path drew ever closer.
Finally, on the third day, the entire Yuzhang Academy began to stir with excitement, and Ye Ru and Chen Tianjian headed towards the literary arena.
"Ye Ru, you must be careful."
Chen Tianjian turned his head and said.
"It's been three days, the results of the imperial examinations should be out by now, right?"
Ye Ru said calmly, without the slightest worry about the opening of the Holy Path.
"Not yet, it should be tomorrow. I'll tell you after you come out of St. John's Road."
Chen Tianjian shook his head.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, sir."
As time passed, more and more students gathered here. Finally, at a certain time, several whooshing sounds rang out from afar, and then four old men appeared in the center of the literary arena. They had solemn expressions and no smiles, but the talent they possessed was quite awe-inspiring.
"Four Grand Secretaries, that's really impressive."
Ye Ru clicked his tongue in admiration, saying that this was the first time he had ever seen four Grand Secretaries appear at once.
Such a large force could probably wipe out an entire demon tribe with a single move.
"Today is the day the Sacred Path opens. This Sacred Path was originally discovered by our Yuzhang Academy, but due to the instability of the Wenqu Star and the instability of talent, many cracks have appeared on this Sacred Path. These cracks all lead to other countries, or demon or monster tribes, so you must be careful when you go there."
"Next, I will announce the list of those who will enter the Holy Road this time."
"The four great talents of Yuzhang Academy, Meng Yun, Mo Xun, Ying Lei, and Huiqing Palace, along with two former Jinshi scholars, have entered the path of sainthood."
The elderly man at the head of the group looked at Meng Yun and the others, paused for a few seconds, and then continued.
"In addition, there is a student from Yingtian Academy, Ye Ru, Ye the top scholar."
As the old man finished speaking, the surrounding students all searched for Ye Ru's figure.
After all, Ye Ru's previous display of talent was quite impressive.
"Greetings, gentlemen."
Ye Ru bowed to the elders and said.
"Hmm, I never expected that the sacred path of my Yuzhang Academy would be given to the students of your Yingtian Academy. How ironic."
An old man shrugged and laughed:
"Whether you are a student of my Yuzhang Academy or not, this sacred road is very dangerous, so you must be careful."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru nodded and then said, "Thank you, sir."
"Alright, you guys go in now. Help each other out and don't let small gains ruin your friendship."
The leading old man closed his eyes and drew a strange picture with his brush. As soon as the picture appeared, it soared into the sky. The remaining three old men each had a beam of light appear on their brushes, which together opened up a huge passage in the sky.
"Go ahead, kids."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yun and the others exchanged glances, took a step, and flew into the Holy Road. Ye Ru stared for a long time, then flapped his wings and flew into the Holy Road, disappearing from sight.
