There was only one requirement for the Martial Immortal Courtyard to accept disciples, and that was that they would have talent that was recognized by the Martial Immortal Courtyard. Thus, the entire Martial Immortal Courtyard, from the common people to the nobles.
The Martial Immortal Courtyard had two rules that were well-known by the world. First, if a disciple of the Martial Immortal Courtyard died in the hands of an outsider, no matter who it was, they would still be killed by the Martial Immortal Courtyard. Second, disciples of the Martial Immortal School were not allowed to use the Martial Immortal School's name to change the structure of the continent. If a successful person from the Martial Immortal School helped a country to form a force on the continent, then the first rule would be voided and the Martial Immortal School would no longer protect that person.
The first one was simple, clear, and the second one was the basis of all the transcendents in the Martial Immortal Academy. When the Martial Immortal Academy gathered all the geniuses, there were also many people who became ambitious once they gained enough strength. Almost half of the current emperors in the 18 empires were once disciples of the Martial Immortal Academy. If those people were protected by the Martial Immortal Courtyard, then they would undoubtedly have a terrifying backing, and the Martial Immortal Courtyard would truly become the master of this continent.
However, what the Martial Emperor left behind was transcendence. Only such a transcendent existence could exist for a long time. The Martial Immortal School had never dared to forget this. Thus, the second rule was formed.
He only knew that if Fang Li entered the Martial Immortal School, his life would be in danger. Even if the Yuan Lu Kingdom were to be destroyed in the future, those people would not dare to touch Fang Li. Thus, after a moment of thought, Guan YunLan agreed.
Which mother didn't want her children to stay by her side? However, now that danger was on their side, it could be said that their lives were on the line. Guan YunLan would naturally not let Fang Li lose her life because of her reluctance to part ways.
Fang Li naturally knew the reason why his mother agreed so readily, but he was not a greedy person who feared death, he only hoped to speed up his cultivation. After all, his own cultivation method, the Purple Profound Scripture, was recommended by the azure-dressed woman, and as for martial skills, the azure-dressed woman had always said that he was too weak, so there was nothing suitable for him.
Fang Li had no choice but to recall that he went to the Martial Immortal Courtyard.
Three days later, Fang Li and Mu Tan headed towards Cloud Mountain together. The Qilin Horse was their mount, so they would only be able to travel to Cloud Mountain for a day.
In Guan Yunlan's opinion, her own son had lived for eighteen years with nothing but food and clothing. Now that he had left home alone, how could he not be relieved when he did not have anyone by his side to follow him?
With no better option, Fang Li could only allow Mu Tan and Zhao Zhu to follow him. Zhao Zhu had returned to his Dark Soul a year ago, but after Fang Chen's death, Zhao Zhu mysteriously returned to Fang Li's side.
Fang Li firmly rejected the two burly middle-aged men that his mother had carefully selected from among the Unicorn Guards. He was going there to gain experience. If he continued to bring along experts to protect him, it would be no different from living in the imperial city.
Mu Tan, Fang Li Xu, had two lifetimes worth of memories. In the past four years, he had grown to like getting along with Mu Tan, but he had never used words to offend this pretty maid like he did in the past.
Fang Li merely stopped offending Mu Tan, but to Mu Tan, the Young Master that she hated before could be considered a completely different person now. In her heart, she was extremely happy.
Zhao Zhu would also be the same as Fang Li, taking the Martial Immortal Institute's exam. Zhao Zhu would be the same as Fang Li, taking the Martial Immortal Academy's exam, Zhao Zhu would be the same as Fang Li. In the entire Yuan Lu Country, he could be said to be a prodigy. The Dark Soul had always had an unwritten rule: every generation's nurtured seed killers would enter the Martial Immortal School under the age of twenty-five.
In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Dark Soul was even more shocking than the Martial Immortal Institute. They also had killer organizations in all eighteen empires, and as long as they could afford to pay a high price, they could kill them all, but this price was not ordinary. For example, if they were asked to kill the enemy commander-in-chief in this war, the price would be enough to cause the entire empire to tremble in fear.
The only mission that the Dark Soul wouldn't accept was the one in the Martial Immortal Courtyard. However, no one in this world dared to have any thoughts about those in the Martial Immortal Courtyard.
Over the years, the geniuses of various martial arts families, princes and princesses nurtured by the Imperial Family with endless resources, had always been the leaders of every generation in the Martial Immortal Courtyard. As for the seeded assassins that the Dark Soul cultivated, they would also enter the Martial Immortal Courtyard to compete with the elites of the same generation. His military accomplishments had always been considerable.
To those who came to the Martial Immortal School, the Martial Immortal School would never consider their origins. They treated them equally and equally. The Martial Immortal School had such a deep foundation, so it was very extraordinary. In their eyes, whether it was the number one assassin's guild on the continent, the current heirs to the strongest empires in the 18 empires, or the martial arts family with a thousand years of hidden heritage, they were no different from ordinary Humble Class martial artists in the eyes of the Martial Immortal Courtyard.
Fang Li and Mu Tan continued their journey. Fang Li was now a Second Order Warrior, and during this period of time, he already knew that there was always a group of people protecting him from the shadows, just like a shadow. Usually, they hid themselves extremely well, and Fang Li knew that this was his grandfather's' Kill Two Teams' that he had sent to protect his safety.
As for Squad Two, Fang Li did not say it explicitly. If he were to refuse their escort, his mother would probably be extremely worried.
In any case, since they had entered the Martial Immortal School, the "Killing" Squad Two could only stay outside. At that time, they would have plenty of opportunities to train by themselves. Originally, Fang Li was a little worried about Mu Tan. After all, according to Zhao Zhu's explanation, after he entered the Martial Immortal School, his current strength could only be described as extremely ordinary.
This was also the reason why Fang Li initially did not want Mu Tan to follow him.
However, with Zhao Zhu's sudden return, Fang Li calmed down. Even if he was temporarily unable to protect Mu Tan in the Martial Immortal Courtyard, he still had Zhao Zhu.
In the three years he had spent with Zhao Zhu, Fang Li had learned of Zhao Zhu's character, and Zhao Zhu was an important figure among the graces and dark souls of his father, Fang Lin. Under the rules of the dark soul, this person could only do his best to let Zhao Zhu enter the Martial Immortal Courtyard, but in reality, the reason he had asked Zhao Zhu to protect Fang Li was to prevent him from losing his old father.
However, that person could not completely control the Dark Soul. He had already done his best to arrange Zhao Zhu, and Fang Chen's death and Fang Lin Tao's disappearance were all related to a sixth stage expert, a sixth stage Dark Soul expert.
"I really don't know. You want to go to that Martial Immortal School? What's so good about that? With me as your master, do you need an academy that's only a few thousand years old?" You're wasting your time. " The azure-dressed woman had been dissatisfied lately. She felt that Fang Li was completely inverted, having his own advice and entering any sort of academy. It was all a waste of effort.
Fang Li smiled wryly in his heart. It had only been a few thousand years … The reason for this transcendence was that it had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Regardless of how the continent changed, whether it was the disappearance of a powerful and prosperous nation, or the sudden rise of a weak nation, it had become a great and famous power. None of this had anything to do with the Martial Immortal Department. They had always been above them, and no one or any power could shake them. It had always been the highest hall of the hearts of martial artists on the continent. Furthermore, the foundation formed from thousands of years of prosperity was the unparalleled existence on this continent.
To the green-clothed woman, the most shocking thing about the Martial Immortal School's several thousand years of history was that it only lasted several thousand years. Going there would be a waste of time.
