Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

If he had known that Cai Yan was in his Kingdom of Dawn, it would have been much easier to ask for Cai Yong's help.

Yang Mi and the others knew they couldn't hide it, but they still looked at him without showing any weakness. The meaning in their eyes was clear. They didn't want him to be unfaithful.

Naturally, it was not appropriate to say much about that matter. After glaring at Yang Mi and the others, he said, "Men!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Are there empty houses in the city to accommodate these scholars?" Li Xiang asked.

"Please rest assured, Country Lord. Many reserved houses in the city still have not been occupied yet. They can be temporarily placed there. As for the rest, we can talk about it later." Zhang Jian said decisively.

"Ok, I'll leave the matter of settling them to you for now. Register them first and issue them a Heavenly identity card. Then, arrange for someone to explain the current situation and changes in the Kingdom of Dawn to them." Li Xiang nodded and ordered.

Now that those people had a strong sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Dawn, what he needed to do now was to completely secure that sense of belonging.

Just then, Cai Yong and Cai Yan also controlled their emotions, but the excitement and joy on their faces could not be concealed.

"Country Lord, I plan to rebuild Jixia Academy in the Kingdom of Dawn!" Cai Yong suddenly said.

"Sir, please come with General Qi to the hall to discuss the details." Li Xiang's eyes flashed with joy, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked them to return together to the Castellan's mansion.

"Alright!"

Cai Yong looked at the majestic Star Palace complex and nodded. He couldn't help but feel curious.

Yang Mi and the others smiled as they took Cai Yan's hand and followed behind them, stepping into the Star Palace.

Huang Chengyan, Zhou Qing, and the others followed closely behind.

They came to a pavilion in the backyard's huge garden.

Li Xiang sat at the head of the table with Yang Mi and the others sitting beside him. Huang Chengyan and the others also took their seats in an orderly manner.

The maidservant immediately appeared and brought some high-quality spirit fruits, tea, and snacks.

Master Chef Chen Tao had already started to prepare the meal.

It was still early morning, and it was time for breakfast. Everyone had just returned and had not eaten much. A good meal was more suitable than anything else.

"Brother Bo Jie, you just said you plan to rebuild Jixia Academy?" Huang Chengyan asked.

"That's right. Since Yan'er is also in the Kingdom of Dawn, I'm not planning to leave this place. I've long been tired of the affairs of the officialdom. All I can do is educate people. Moreover, among the many students brought from the academy this time, there are bound to be those who are unwilling to take up an official position and those who are suitable to govern a region. Staying in the academy to teach and educate people will make the best use of them instead of wasting talents." Cai Yong said slowly and firmly.

"Forgive my bluntness. An academy is definitely going to be built. However, it's probably not Jixia Academy that's going to be built, but a new academy unique to the Kingdom of Dawn. There can be one, two, three, or even ten or hundred of Jixia Academy. The separation of Jixia Academy means that there will definitely be more than one site of ruins. Anyone who obtained the inheritance will have the right to build Jixia Academy. Rather than that, it will be better to build a unique academy. The name is different, but its nature can be the same." Zhou Qing suddenly said.

Jixia Academy's position in history was naturally extremely important and influential. In the eyes of every cultivator from the Hundred Schools of Thought, it was an existence equivalent to the Holy Land.

However, this was the Myriad World Continent, and Jixia Academy had long been split into various ruins. As long as one could obtain the ruins, one would be qualified to build Jixia Academy. That was what Cai Yong had planned.

However, Li Xiang didn't want to rebuild a new Jixia Academy. If he really were to build an academy that could also be built in other places, who would be the leader if they encountered those from the same academy in the future?

He wanted to build an academy that belonged solely to the Kingdom of Dawn.

"If we give up on the name of Jixia Academy, it will be more difficult for us to progress in the future. With Jixia Academy's reputation, it can naturally attract many scholars." Cai Yong shook his head and said.

It would be a pity to give up such an advantage.

"It's not a pity. Even though we don't use Jixia Academy's name, it doesn't mean we can't use Jixia Academy's influence. Moreover, the influence of a school is often related to its corresponding power. As long as the Kingdom of Dawn is strong enough, it won't be difficult for the school to develop. Jixia Academy was also built from nothing, step by step. If other people can do it, so can the Kingdom of Dawn." Li Xiang said confidently.

"I agree with the Country Lord's idea. Even though Jixia Academy's status was extremely high and its influence was huge, this is the Myriad World Continent, and everything is a new beginning. If we can build an Academy, our position will surpass Jixia Academy. By then, the person who founded the academy will be remembered and passed down through the ages." Zhou Qing said slowly.

Passed down through the ages!

As soon as that sentence came out, Cai Yong's eyes revealed a trace of emotion.

It was the greatest wish of a scholar to leave his name for generations to come. If he could do that, he would die without any regrets. The rebuilding of Jixia Academy might bring about a good reputation, but it could not be passed down through the ages.

To be able to create an academy that could rival or even surpass Jixia Academy, one could imagine that the person would leave his name in history and be admired by countless scholars.

That was creating history.

At that moment, those words seemed to have magical power, instantly taking root at the bottom of his heart, impossible to erase.

"What kind of academy would the Country Lord like to build? " Cai Yong took a deep breath and asked, his tone revealing a trace of interest.

He also felt that with the strength of the Kingdom of Dawn, there was a chance of success.

"I'm going to build a brand new academy. This academy will be like Jixia Academy, and it will be able to accommodate all kinds of divisions. It will be able to accommodate the Hundred Schools of Thought and adhere to open-mindedness, allowing the birth of all ideas and theories to be spread in the academy. We hope to recreate the Hundred Schools of Thought competition during the Warring States period. Not only will we cultivate literature but also martial arts. The coexistence of the Hundred Schools of Thought will truly realize the freedom of thought and academic freedom. We strive to gather all kinds of wisdom and create different sparks of wisdom with each other to push the entire human civilization into a new process." A different light appeared in Li Xiang's eyes as he spoke excitedly.

"Other than the Hundred Schools of Thought being included in the academy, the cultivation of transcendent arts can also be included. For example, alchemy, equipment refining, talisman making, medicine making, alchemy, and so on can all become a part of the academy. We can also build divisions in the academy to accept disciples and pass on our skills. We can strive to make the saying of one school of thought become a hundred flowers blooming and reproduce the grand scene of the Hundred Schools of Thought competition in ancient times."

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said quickly. His expression was filled with strong confidence and anticipation.
