Chapter 641 627: Tabooing the Venerable's Name

Jiangyou University of Technology, a venerable institution with a history spanning six centuries, has produced countless distinguished alumni.

From affluent magnates to influential politicians, not to mention more than ten True Immortals.

These days mark an auspicious period for the university as preparations have been underway for months, both at the university and throughout the city, to celebrate its 600th anniversary.

The entire campus is immaculate, festively decorated with lanterns, where ancient architectural charm meets the modern technological facilities, providing a refreshing experience.

Following the issuance of invitations, alumni have been arriving tirelessly to attend the celebration, including numerous seniors over a hundred years old—a testament to the university's exceptional attention.

These centenarians who are still alive have largely achieved significant cultivation levels, established careers in society, and can be rightfully called successful individuals.

The university president is currently issuing instructions: "Deans, I have already distributed the list of alumni, including Earth and Celestial Immortals from previous classes. Be diligent in your reception!"

Over a dozen deans held solemn expressions, fully aware of the gravity of this task.

If executed well, it will benefit everyone. Not only will the university gain prestige, but they will also establish networks with these veteran alumni, providing unimaginable aid for their futures.

If not properly done, it would be catastrophic.

The president stressed: "For alumni who are already staying, you must serve them attentively. For those arriving as scheduled, be even more meticulous in your reception!"

Compared to these deans, the president of the university bears a heavier burden, as the reception of the True Immortals personally falls upon him.

Though he himself is a seasoned Celestial Immortal, having made significant contributions across administration, research, and education.

Yet, compared to those True Immortals, who possess almost eternal lives alongside immeasurable power and wealth, he still seems dwarfed.

After contemplating, he addressed everyone: "The representatives from Changsheng Group will arrive at ten o'clock this morning. Make sure not to be absent."

"Understood!" Everyone responded, invigorated as if shot with adrenaline.

The two founders of Changsheng Group are the most illustrious alumni in the university's history; one is Lin Cheng, the actual manager of Changsheng Group, and the other is the legendary Immortal Martial Taoist.

Although a decade ago, they were quite ordinary at Jiangyou University of Technology.

But the rise of the Immortal Martial Taoist has been incredibly fast, now rumored to possess the momentum of a Half-Step Immortal, capturing everyone's attention.

They keenly regard the representatives sent by the two.

At this moment, a colossal interstellar battleship hovered above the city, bearing the distinctive emblem of Changsheng Group.

A group of people gracefully descended from the battleship, forming ranks, headed toward the university.

During the university's anniversary celebration, apart from visiting alumni, numerous influential figures have come to pay respects.

A local billionaire gazed in awe at the interstellar battleship: "My heavens, Changsheng Group is indeed prodigious, able to bring forth an interstellar battleship!"

Obtaining such a battleship capable of interstellar strikes requires not only enormous wealth but also military approval.

Despite being influential locally, his stature pales in comparison to Changsheng Group.

As the interstellar battleship was sighted, students within the university gasped and craned their necks in amazement.

To them, Changsheng Group is a dream employer, composed entirely of societal elites capable of amassing tremendous wealth with ease.

"I wonder which eminent figure will arrive. If it's those two, dying here today would be worthwhile."

"Stop dreaming. If it were indeed those two, the university would have publicized it by now."

"My greatest wish is to join Changsheng Group after graduation."

"For our generation, stepping into Changsheng Group seems hopeful. I heard the company will allocate 500 graduate positions annually to the university starting this year."

"Not just that; they'll establish a biological laboratory on campus to collaboratively develop new medicines with the university."

...

Ever since the interstellar battleship's appearance, discussions about Changsheng Group have been ongoing.

If the Immortal Martial Taoist stands as the idol of young people across Divine Land, then Changsheng Group is the colossal entity sweeping through biotech companies.

Since its inception, Changsheng Group's mission has been advancing Earth Civilization and aiding humanity's quest for immortality, developing numerous beneficial medicines.

Suffice to say, those few affordable medicines that can enhance cultivation aptitude have immensely benefited countless individuals.

"They're here."

Someone's voice pierced the silence, instantly silencing the bustling street, as eyes turned toward the distance.

A group of dozens from Changsheng Group strode forth, among them, men were sharp and vigorous, while women were beautiful and graceful, all radiating an aura of excellence.

Their inherently restrained demeanor reflected a cultivation level vastly surpassing peers—they appeared in their twenties or thirties, yet each possessed the cultivation level of a Human Immortal.

Spirit, technology, Martial Dao.

Changsheng Group's internal personnel combined these three, exhibiting work capacity and cultivation that exceeded peers.

Not to mention the representatives dispatched for the 600th-anniversary celebration.

Leading them is a True Disciple from Immortal Martial Mountain, honing skills at Changsheng Group, with cultivation reaching Celestial Immortal.

Bai Yuzhen donned a white long dress; over thirty years old, she appeared almost in her early twenties, accompanied by a freshly graduated employee.

"Aunt, our Changsheng Group is truly impressive."

Su Qiubai felt slightly anxious; nevertheless, her steps were composed as she smiled and gazed at the surrounding students.

She truly didn't expect that as a recent university graduate, she could experience such a glorious moment.

Being in the limelight and warmly welcomed was a dream-like scenario for her.

Compared to Su Qiubai, Bai Yuzhen, seasoned from years at Changsheng Group, now a high-ranking executive with great authority, naturally possessed a broader perspective and mindset.

Bai Yuzhen teased: "You've been with the Group for a short time; you probably haven't realized Changsheng Group's influence on Earth Civilization."

Seeing Su Qiubai's demeanor, Bai Yuzhen reminisced about her former self; years ago, when she joined Changsheng Group, she was similarly curious, cautious, and hopeful.

She advised: "We represent Changsheng Group, so be sure to maintain our image and don't falter at a crucial moment."

Of course, Bai Yuzhen also understood that as representatives of Changsheng Group, they were regarded as honored guests, and the university valued Changsheng Group's reputation even more.

As Changsheng Group's representatives stepped onto the campus, they received an exceptionally warm reception.

Not only from the school authorities but even Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng's former instructors came without exception.

"A warm welcome indeed; inviting Changsheng Group's elites is our privilege!" Wang Xuan's former homeroom teacher still appeared youthful, smiling broadly.

Bai Yuzhen dared not be presumptuous and quickly shook hands: "We are merely representatives; it's our teachers who we admire. Without their nurturing, there would be no Changsheng Group or us today."

Bai Yuzhen responded sincerely, her smile unwavering, and her hand was almost numb from shaking.

Su Qiubai, seeming dazed, mimicked along beside her.

After listening for a while, she realized that these conversations never strayed from Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng yet astonishingly, nobody even mentioned their names.

"Old Wang sure has a commanding presence!" During a break, as she shook her hand to rest, Su Qiubai muttered.

Bai Yuzhen sternly tapped her head with a finger: "What 'Old Wang'! Be cautious, or he might make things difficult for you!"

Su Qiubai hung her head, ceasing her speech.

While in school, she studied the term "Respect for the Venerable," thinking it amusing.

Only when the dream transformed into reality did she understand the terrifying power possessed by someone of Wang Xuan's rank.

Merely a name is enough to deter countless people from mentioning it.
