Duality Academy

## History

Duality Academy is one of the Five Divisions of Buddha Holy Ground. One didn’t need to be from Buddha Holy Ground to join the academy. Anyone from Eight Desolates could give it a shot without meeting prejudice. It was founded by Reverend Cloud and Mud during the Myriad Dao Era.

### Establishment

Reverend Cloud and Mud founded academy in Buddha Holy Ground's territory. A powerful lineage like the Buddha Holy Ground was extremely influential in Western King. Its foundation was affected by a new academy and its territories occupied yet it had no response.

Future generations still found this unbelievable. However, Duality Master was indeed an unbelievable existence.

Academy's first day was a magnificent and unprecedented occasion. All of Eight Desolates were affected by this.

Apricot Dao Lord personally came with peerless scriptures as gifts. The strongest ancestors and existences in Eight Desolates eventually arrived with gifts as well.

True Immortal Sect, Primal Immortal Mountain, Sword School, Righteous Sect, Puresun Clan, Lion's Roar Country, Wild East Eight Kingdoms, Ancestral City and many other behemoths that have dominated their era before came to celebrate.

The gathering of these lords was unmatched in history. Even the coronations of dao lords lacked the same extravagance and impact. Furthermore, the gifts they brought were incredible as well. Paramount weapons and artifacts, enough to shock the world.

In fact, even the strongest ancestor of Buddha Holy Ground personally led his favorite disciples to celebrate the opening of Duality. He brought gifts too, of course. Such a thing remained a mystery. Duality Master did nothing short of taking over the holy ground’s territory for his academy. However, **Buddha Holy Ground didn’t retaliate in the slightest and actually brought gifts for the occasion**.

The legend didn’t end there. Duality Master performed the first lesson for the opening ceremony. Apricot Dao Lord, ancient ancestors, sword gods and other invicible existences came to listen. They were the strongest characters in the era yet they still wanted to listen to the lecture. Some said that this was the most prestigious classroom ever. Only Heavenly Sovereigns were eligible to be there.

This incredible history laid an unshakable foundation for Duality Academy. It wasn’t the oldest academy in Eight Desolaces but was once the most illustrious.

### Background

Academy had produced plenty of geniuses including several dao lords. For example, the third dao lord of the holy ground, Dhyana. He studied at the academy first before entering "Sacred Mountain".

Three Truths Dao Lord also studied at the academy before branching out. Another famous student was Heaven Devourer Dao Lord who revitalized Righteous later on as its second dao lord.

Righteous and Buddha Holy Ground had an unceasing rivalry in history and the academy had influence in both.

There were too many Heavenly Sovereign students the count. The most famous and strongest one recently was Mad Blade. He studied at the academy during his youth and created a unique saber art later on. He swept through Eight Desolaces and proved his supremacy.

All in all, whether it be the past or the present, Duality Academy was still well-respected by cultivators.

The greatest geniuses didn’t dare to be haughty while standing in front of its gates. They knew that they were nothing compared to Apricot Dao Lord and others who have listened to the lectures here before.

### Li Qiye's Visit

The present academy couldn’t compare to the past when Duality Master was still around. Nonetheless, its influence still remained. It has 100,000 students or so. The dynasties always send their princes and descendants to the academy too. 100,000 was a commonly quoted number when talking about **Duality**. However, some thought that this was a low estimation.

One didn’t need to be from Buddha Holy Ground to join the academy. Anyone from Eight Desolaces could give it a shot without meeting prejudice. Moreover, it didn’t forbid visitors either. Even a mortal could come here for a trip. This was one of its best aspects.

As long as one could make it here, they could come in freely. This added to the number of people currently present in the academy, adding to its liveliness. The mortals eventually built towns at the base of the mountains. Thousands of them lived here and added more excitement.

**It wasn’t strange to see anyone from any race in Duality.**

Duality Academy also had one of the Li Qiye's technique (Trinity Sword Art) consisting of 3 moves.
-Heaven
-Earth
-Mortal
Heaven and Earth is between thoughts and what left is Mortal, All of this coming from Li Qiye.

## Geography

The landscape consisting of grand mountains and glorious rivers. Some peaks reached the sky with waterfalls streaming down.

Pavilions and buildings scattered across the area. A peak might have a single one at the pinnacle. Another mountain might have buildings built around it. Bridges connected these mountains.

The academy only had ten thousand miles of territory so students were everywhere. They rode their mount or flying sword…

The truth was that this prosperity and liveliness could also be found in the rest of Metropolis. That’s why this was the golden region of Buddha Holy Ground.
