Chapter 2803: 2803
His flippant attitude infuriated the others, just not the emperor herself .
“I’ll visit Repentance if I have free time later . ” She nodded in response .
Her attitude shut others down . If the person herself didn’t mind, it wasn’t their place to say anything .
“Dean, Elder Deng, you two should return too . This place isn’t safe anymore for the joint training program between the major institutions . Your various deans are telling the students to go back . ”
“Everyone is returning?” The middle-aged man was surprised . He didn’t expect the sudden recall before everyone got here .
“Yes . ” The emperor nodded: “Luminous Master has sent news about the current condition of the far regions in the wildland . It’s too dangerous for training now and students will turn evil as a result . Thus, the deans have decided to temporarily pause the training . ”
“Luminous Master…” People had an expression of respect after hearing this name, even more so than towards the emperor .
“Luminous Master is here…” Deng Rensen felt the same respect as the rest .
“I’m sure he’ll be able to take care of the darkness . ” Many started praising this being whom they considered to be invincible .
This title was very prestigious and influential in Immortal Lineage . Virtually everyone admired him . Some even said that he was brilliant enough to compare to the Radiant Decemvirate .
“You’re right, he’ll turn darkness into ashes for sure . ” Everyone agreed .
“What a shame that we can’t see him in person . It would be a life worth living . ” One young female disciple looked like a huge fan .
Of course, no one found these comments to be unreasonable . Numerous people in Immortal Lineage virtually worshipped Luminous Master .
“It’s best not to go if Luminous Master said so . ” The middle-aged old man nodded: “Let’s go back to avoid needless complication . ”
The big schools sent students on a training trip to the wildland . Repentance Institution was the closest one, hence why they were the first to get here .
They didn’t expect something like this to happen but agreed with Luminous Master’s assessment about the risks in the wildland .
“Then please head back now, Dean . I’ll delve deeper for a look and see if the fellow daoists there require assistance . ” She disappeared into the horizon before finishing her words .
Everyone watched her departure for a while before looking away .
“When will I be strong enough to sweep the darkness away like the emperor?” Someone said with envy .
They knew that the “fellow daoists” she referred to were the top beings in the contemporary or the greatest geniuses .
They were so far from reaching this goal, just something for them to wish for .
“Let’s go . Young Brother, follow me to Repentance Institution . ” The man called for Li Qiye .
Li Qiye smiled and played along . Many in the group still had a prejudice against him for being a sinkin . However, they maintained the proper amount of civility and didn’t attack him on the way back .
He didn’t provoke them either, just following the group in the back in a leisure manner .
Meanwhile, the Dean of Repentance was very nice the entire time . He was afraid that Li Qiye couldn’t keep up and ordered one disciple to take care of him .
This disciple was from Repentance as well . The youth did quite well with his training and had many achievements .
He had an impressive stature and wore his emotion on his sleeves - a dependable and honest youth .
“Junior Brother, how about I carry you the rest of the way?” His name was Zhao Qiushi . He noticed Li Qiye’s feeble appearance and felt the same way as his dean .
Since the emperor told him to stay, Dean Du Wenrui didn’t want anything to happen to Li Qiye either . That wouldn’t be good for their institution .
“It’s fine . ” Li Qiye smiled . He wasn’t weak right now and could destroy everything with a single even when injured .
He simply wasn’t in a hurry because he was still spending more time and energy refining that existence in his dao heart .
This made Zhao Qiushi think that Li Qiye couldn’t keep up because of fatigue .
The middle-aged man led the group back to Repentance City .
The Academy of Light was a special place . Other systems were filled with grand dao power but this type of power had little effects on the living beings there .
This wasn’t the case for this system . The holy light here was overwhelming and omnipresent . Just imagine the people growing up in such a system .
They were devout believers . Even the mortals believed in the light and had a kind disposition . Some beasts bathed in this holiness and became sacred creatures as well .
The emperor was also right about Li Qiye being suppressed by this bright affinity . The system simply didn’t allow for darkness to exist . Anyone stained by the darkness would be suppressed then refined .
However, the light didn’t reach one particular location as if it had abandoned it - Repentance City and its vast territory . The reason for this remained unknown .
The power of light was still flowing through this land, just not to the same overwhelming amount as other places . One wouldn’t be able to feel the flowing holy aura here .
Future generations had several explanations for this phenomenon . One stated that this city used to be the gathering den of evil . Desolate Saint himself couldn’t save or change the villains here . Later on, their descendants populated this place .
Some said that this city was actually a prison created by Desolate Saint to jail evil beings . Now it became home for their progenies .
The third speculation asserted that Desolate Saint purposely removed the light, wanting to turn this place into a trial for the heart .
While standing before the gate of the city, the words “Repentance City” popped out like a sore thumb .
Some students in the group were from the other academies . One of them asked: “Why is it named Repentance?”
No one could answer this question, not even the dean .
“Because it washes away the sin caused by the light, hence the name, Repentance . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
“Nonsense, the light is the holiest force in the world . The only thing being washed is the sin caused by the darkness . ” One student from another academy refuted .
These foreign students were blessed with light in their own academies . They condemned Repentance and thought this was a place of sin - the reason for the absence of light .
So now, they naturally became infuriated when Li Qiye said that their light was also a cause of sin .
“If there is nothing but light in this world, how can darkness exist?” Li Qiye elaborated: “Without darkness as a yardstick, how do you know that the light is the holiest force?”
