Chapter 959: Academy
Upon entering the twenty thousandth floor, Sage was astounded by the sight in front of him. The level was dominated by a single immense structure that towered over the whole level like a mountainous castle. At the quarter and halfway marks up the huge building there were expansive terrace areas, giving it a three tiered look. The base of the structure spread out to more than a quarter of the space on the level.
Sage marveled at the brilliant light above and the clear sky. It was impressive how well they simulated a clear blue sky. His first stop, like on every tenth level, was an administrative building where he could purchase general and more specialized information about this level as well as the previous and next ten levels. Since he had come here to find some obscure information he purchased the most detailed information packet about this level and the Clear Sky Academy. A thousand Spirit Stones later he found quite a few details to pay attention to. First of all, the Dean of Clear Sky Academy was also the Lord of this level, which was the case on every academy level. Secondly, the whole level was essentially dedicated to the Clear Sky Academy.
Around the academy were various businesses that catered to the teachers and students: restaurants and stores for their daily needs mixed in among multi-floored dormitories. The large ramps that spiraled up to the next level of the Capital were filled with the homes of the level's workers as well as the immense staff of the Clear Sky Academy. The Academy itself was more than two hundred miles wide, though most of that was actually upon the first raised tier. This area was actually made up of a number of large wilderness areas with different types of terrain that were used to practice being in the wild.
The upper terraced area was much smaller in area and it held most of the things that would normally be expected to be found at an academy. Training Dojos, Auditoriums, Libraries, Swimming Pools, and all the other large facilities found at large universities. There were also quite a few others that were unique to the Cultivator world. They had so many specialized training grounds that it put the Sunfire Pagoda from the Holy Flame Sect to shame.
Another important piece of information was that due to the sheer size of the place, the Clear Sky Academy was run like many schools within a single building. They had multiple tiers of students as well as separated groups among those tiers. These different student bodies would compete amongst each other and the most successful could challenge those of a higher tier. The system was similar to having a bunch of competing outer sect disciples trying to get promoted to inner sect disciples or core disciples.
Once the group left, Sage was free to approach the counter and indicate his intention to join. The woman nodded and brought him down a hallway to a side room. The room had work tables along all its walls and in a row down the middle. Each of the tables were covered with many small potted plants.
If you wish to join the Clear Sky Academy, youll need to demonstrate your ability. Release your law powers.
Sage thought about holding back his strength, but at this point his laws were not his strongest weapons. In the interest of getting better treatment he didnt hold back and released all three of his laws. The Minor Law of Filtration at the 5th degree, the Primal Law of Corruption at the 2nd degree, and the Primal Thermal Law at the 3rd degree. Since the woman asked him to do it, he was sure they had some method of detecting it and he was not wrong. As he resonated with the different laws some of the plants in the room started to react.
From a cursory glance, Sage had no idea how the plants reacted. The woman walked around the room noting down all the changes and as she called out her findings, Sage figured out how it worked. There was one set of plants that reacted based upon the rank and degree of the laws he released, one of them seemed to sense a single Minor Law making one flower bloom, while another reacted to the two Primal Laws with two blooms. Surprisingly, the petals of the flowers fell off, leaving the same number of petals on the flower as the degree of his laws. This only took up a single table right next to the door. The rest of the room was actually some sort of method used to classify which laws he used and there seemed to be a complex identification process on an individual plant to narrow down what sort of law it was.
After this process was done, she led him out of the room as an array activated on the ceiling, causing all the plants to return to their original state. Heading back to the desk, Sage had to pay a fee of a hundred thousand Spirit Stones and then he was given his identity token and a Jade Tablet filled with the rules he had to follow.
