In the decades of development, the academy construction plan has been the most promising project in Wang Hong's eyes.
Up to now, the number of academies in the entire Great Chu Immortal Nation has reached nearly ten thousand.
Within the territory of the Great Chu Immortal Nation, any gathering place of Immortal Cultivators with some scale and reputation will have an academy affiliated with the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
These academies vary in size, with some capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, while others have only three to five instructors and dozens of students.
Currently, millions of students graduate from academies across different regions every year.
As a result, the vast majority of newly emerged Immortal Cultivators within the Great Chu Immortal Nation each year are graduates from academies affiliated with the nation.
At present, it has become a consensus among the Cultivators of the Great Chu Immortal Nation that if there are younger generations with even a bit of talent in their families, they will actively send them to the publicly operated academies of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
This is because training a disciple requires not only dedicated teaching but also a significant consumption of spiritual resources.
For many Cultivators, they don't have particularly exceptional inheritances, nor do they possess abundant wealth. The cost of cultivating a disciple is not insignificant.
The appearance of the Great Chu Immortal Nation academies has made all Cultivators feel that there is a great opportunity for them to take advantage of.
All students admitted to the academies have the opportunity to learn many profound inheritances, and the academies provide all the resources needed for their cultivation free of charge.
More importantly, all graduates of the academies can enter various departments of the Great Chu Immortal Nation and find a way to make a living.
Such a good opportunity is eagerly sought after by the vast majority of Cultivators.
As for the education within the academies, the requirement for students to be loyal to the Great Chu Immortal Nation is considered a relatively minor side effect for most Cultivators.
Compared to the tremendous benefits, this side effect is acceptable.
After all, there are only a very few individuals born with rebellious tendencies, and the vast majority of people are of the type who stick to whoever nurtures them.
Nowadays, in the Great Chu Immortal Nation, the first thing after giving birth to a child is to test their Spiritual Roots. If they possess Spiritual Roots, they will be sent to the academy.
Although there are tens of thousands of academies now, they have not expanded into the Mortal Realm and have not cultivated Mortals. The current resources are already stretched to their limits in supporting these ten thousand academies, and there is currently no capacity to further expand into the Mortal Realm.
If Mortals in the Mortal Realm also begin cultivation, it would require a massive consumption of resources, which can only be considered and postponed depending on the situation.
Currently, there are over ten thousand academies, and millions of students graduate from these academies each year. These graduates are distributed to various departments, resulting in significant improvements across all departments.
In another hundred years, when these individuals have grown up and become the backbone of the Great Chu Immortal Nation, the nation will be as solid as a fortress.
After listening to the reports from each department about their achievements, Wang Hong praised everyone's contributions and generously distributed rewards.
He had just obtained a large number of treasures in his spatial storage, more than he could personally use. This was a perfect opportunity for him to distribute a portion of them.
One year after Wang Hong emerged from seclusion, the Great Chu Immortal Nation held a grand celebration.
In just a few decades, the Great Chu Immortal Nation had produced over fifty Soul Transformation Cultivators, and with Wang Hong's breakthrough to Void Refining, such significant news naturally called for a grand ceremony to celebrate.
Originally, Wang Hong didn't want to make a big fuss and preferred to keep a low profile. However, the Ling Yuan Elders personally came to persuade him, and in the end, he had no choice but to agree.
It wasn't that the Ling Yuan Elders enjoyed being extravagant; they had long passed the age of seeking attention. The reason was the current situation: the various forces in the Little Yuan Realm were contending with each other, and the Human Clan was the weakest. They needed a grand celebration to boost morale and restore confidence in the Human Clan.
Therefore, with the assistance of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace and Zhang He, this ceremony became a gathering of the entire Human Clan's high-level figures.
All the notable forces and powerful individuals in the Little Yuan Realm were attracted to Fengwu Continent for this occasion. For a while, Fengwu Continent became a gathering place for the elite.
To prepare for this grand event, the Great Chu Immortal Nation constructed a new city next to Sleeping Dragon City.
In addition to cave mansions for accommodating guests, the new city also had a large-sized marketplace.
Almost half of the stalls in this marketplace were reserved for the use of the Great Chu Immortal Nation, while the remaining stalls were available for rent, with the rent determined by the location and size of the stall.
The stalls reserved by the Great Chu Immortal Nation were used to showcase various specialties of the nation. Currently, the Great Chu Immortal Nation held advantages in the Cultivation World in items such as Spirit Wine, Spiritual Herbs, Pills, Magic Weapons, Puppets, giant crossbows, and more.
Although the Great Chu Immortal Nation had established branch stores in various continents, those stores couldn't compare to the current comprehensive selection available here.
Many Cultivators who came to attend the ceremony not only had their horizons broadened but also made purchases. Some even placed large orders to bring back to their own forces.
At the same time, many forces brought their own specialties to the marketplace, renting a stall specifically for display and sale.
The ceremony lasted for a total of five days, followed by ten consecutive days of lectures and activities.
For this celebration, several Soul Transformation experts with profound dao techniques were specially invited to continuously impart their knowledge, give lectures, and provide assistance to the participants.
Especially on the last day, Wang Hong personally appeared to explain the dao techniques to everyone.
After breaking through to the Void Refining realm, Wang Hong had a clear understanding of cultivation below Void Refining. He explained it with great insight, captivating the cultivators in the entire city. There were also quite a few breakthroughs made on the spot.
Even a month after Wang Hong's lecture, many cultivators were still immersed in it.
It was not until the end of this ceremony that everyone reluctantly left.
This celebration showcased the Great Chu Immortal Nation's formidable strength and boosted the confidence of many Human Clan cultivators.
At this moment, the high-level figures of the Great Chu Immortal Nation gathered in a grand hall, with Wang Hong sitting at the head and Xu Lun reporting the specifics of the expenses and gains from this grand event.
"Your Majesty! After deducting all the expenses from this celebration, we made a profit of five million Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.
Moreover, through this interaction, more than twenty forces have become our new customers.
This celebration has brought us tremendous gains!"
Xu Lun reported with a delighted expression. He had only calculated the material gains so far. Additionally, this grand event further enhanced the prestige of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.
Now, in the hearts of all Human Clan members, the Great Chu Immortal Nation was regarded as an existence on par with Xuanyuan Immortal Palace. These two were the two strongest forces of the Human Clan.
"I have decided to hold such a grand event every fifty years in the future. I want to develop Sleeping Dragon City into a hub where the strong of the Human Clan gather, communicate, and trade."
Wang Hong was also very satisfied with the results of this grand event and immediately made the decision.
"For the next period of time, I will continue to seclude myself and cultivate, comprehend the Cultivation Techniques of the Void Refining realm. As for domestic affairs, they will still be managed by you."
He still needed to study the cultivation experience of Void Refining he obtained from the Ling Yuan Elders. It required another period of seclusion.
"Luo Zhongjie, I have a task for you. Recruit three million soldiers once again."
"I will comply!" Luo Zhongjie immediately saluted and accepted the order.
