Virtue Archives

## Introduction

The Virtue Archives (**忆贤书院**) is one of the many powers that exists in the Perennial World and an academy to many of the great families of the Middle Realm. Created by Progenitor Wen, the Virtue Archive was independent of the four ruling powers though it's independence had been slowly undermined.

## Information

The Virtue Archives exist in the Virtue District of the nine districts that exists in the Middle Realm.

The Virtue Archives place is relatively closed off, and it’s not easy to be accepted, so they only have a few students. Almost everyone who studies there is a descendant of one of the Middle Realm’s major families, or even a family from the Higher Realm. Virtue Archives has been famous since ancient times. Even the four ruling powers are eager to send their descendants to study there, let alone the other families. Every single group in the Middle Realm pays attention to Virtue Archives, and talented youths flock there from every direction. Virtue Archives doesn’t have a fixed period when they accept new students. Anyone under the age of forty is eligible to join, and they can join at any time, provided that they pass the entrance exam.

The Virtue Archives is backed by the Wen and Ce families, which makes three Semi-Progenitor. God of Food was one of the Semi-Progenitor who was on the cusp of becoming a Progenitor so those ruling powers do not truly wish to antagonize him. Progenitor Wen studied the ancient characters, and he developed a deep understanding of them. There are rumors that claim that, before his death, he recorded his own cultivation experiences and stored the collected scriptures in the Virtue Archives.

The Purple-Gold family had a powerful obsession regarding the Virtue District, and this was because Virtue Archives had imprisoned both an Undying Bird and a Dark Undying Bird in order to create a place that was completely unique to Virtue Archives.

In the Virtue Archives, the instructors teach, and the students study and train. Each student is able to obtain corresponding credits based on the classes that they attend and the academy’s requirements. Those credits can be used for many things, such as requesting permission to learn the academy’s battle techniques, cultivation arts, secret techniques, or trading for things like power vessels. Credits can even be used to request individual instruction from a specific faculty member. As long as it does not violate the academy’s rules, credits can be used for just about everything.

The Eighteen Lines Formation is a sourcebox array and of Virtue Archives’ most famous sights. It is one of the methods that the faculty use to determine whether a student qualifies to graduate, anyone who can break through five lines qualifies. Generally, breaking through five lines requires one to be at least a peak Explorer, or even a Cruiser. It was set up to evaluate people beneath the Envoy realm.

The Virtue Archives contain a Mountain and Sea which was one of the reasons why it was eyed by the four ruling powers.

### **Sourcebox Arrays :**

* **Light & Darkness Array -** A powerful sourcebox array created by **Progenitor Wen** to protect ****Virtue Archives****. That uses the combined flames of an **Undying Bird** and a **Dark Undying Bird** to create a special region. One represents **light**, while the other represents **darkness**. The two never touch or meet, but as soon as the sourcebox array is fully activated, the two converge to form an array so powerful that it is enough to even threaten a Progenitor.
