Chapter 179 – Opening of the Holy Academy, Heaven-defying Treasure Land (4500 words)
A huge world shadow hovered above the Ark of the Other Side.
There were countless changes in it.
With just a single glance, it was as if spring, summer, fall, and winter, and countless rounds of reincarnation had been experienced within it.
A large number of void storms hovered at the entrance of the world.
That world was like a huge iron absorber.
It constantly absorbed energy, and everything in the boundless void, in all directions.
The void was not spotless.
There was a large amount of unknown debris here, as well as many tattered corpses.
This place was already located in the fourth layer of the void.
The entire Cang Yuan Realm.
There were only a handful of known means that could reach this place.
The Ark of the Other Side was one of them.
The dangers here are beyond words.
Anything and everything.
In this layer of emptiness, it would all be quickly disintegrated, dissolved, and returned to silence.
This was true even for cultivators.
That’s why this place looked incomparably clean.
Like the night sky without stars.
But it’s biased.
People looked up at that huge world shadow, but an unspeakable feeling of fear was born in their hearts.
It was as if it was the instinctive reaction of tiny creatures to an unknown gigantic existence.
The entrance to the world.
The void distorted.
An incomparably slow, yet as if it had existed for eternity, a vortex slowly rotated.
It devoured everything in the void.
The Ark of the Other Side traveled here.
An incomparably dense ripple immediately surfaced on the surface.
It was as if, invisibly, an unimaginable force was trying to destroy it and devour it!
The old man surnamed Hao walked to the head of the boat, looked at the celestials in front of him, and said aloud, “The world in front of you is the realm where the Holy Academy is located! Later on, we will open a teleportation channel for you ……
to send you into the Holy Academy!
Regarding the Ancient Holy Courtyard, I think you the elders of each family, have already told you very clearly.
However.
I still want to emphasize here!
You must remember that you only have five years!
After five years, no matter how many chances you have obtained in it, and whether or not you have fulfilled them as you wished, you must all leave ……
Otherwise, you will only be able to remain in the Holy Academy forever!”
His voice was incomparably serious and earnest.
The many Celestial Pride present also coincidentally revealed serious expressions and subconsciously nodded their heads.
Ancient Holy Academy.
It opened every eight hundred years.
It only opens for five years each time.
If you miss it, you’ll have to wait until the next eight hundred years!
But on the contrary, the rules of the world that the Ancient Sacred Courtyard was in restricted that only cultivators under the age of a hundred could freely enter and exit!
After that time, they would never be able to come out again.
Even if there were tons of opportunities and endless treasures in the Sacred Courtyard, one could improve one’s strength by leaps and bounds.
But if one is unable to come out.
What is the meaning of all this?
It is important to know that the Ancient Sacred Courtyard is a closed small world, where …… practitioners are unable to connect with the Heavenly Dao in the outside world.
It is impossible to transmigrate.
The upper limit for everyone was the peak of Epiphany.
Therefore, naturally, there is no such thing as, cultivate all the way until you cross the tribulation, until you become immortal …… and then tear apart the rules of the world with absolute power!
……
These words.
Every time the Ancient Sacred Academy opens.
They would be repeated and emphasized countless times.
However, there were always some heavenly prides that were left in it for various reasons.
In some cases, it was for the purpose of sensing a dao that was a hair’s breadth away from being cultivated to perfection, and they were unwilling to leave.
Some, in order to wait for a supreme treasure medicine to mature and come to fruition, just a few days away.
There are also those who forget the time when they are in seclusion.
In short ……
There are many reasons, but the results are all the same.
The Ancient Holy Academy was not originally a holy academy.
It was just a marvelous treasure of opportunity.
But, as time passed.
Over the years.
There were more and more people left behind within the Sacred Courtyard from all the major cavernous places in the Southern State.
Their cultivation reached a bottleneck.
And were unable to leave.
With a long lifespan, they were simply bored to death.
So, gradually, someone came up with the idea.
These people who stayed within the Holy Academy.
Started teaching the descendant disciples of the major powers!
Not only can they instruct them in cultivation.
It can also leave some kindling for the major clans.
In case, a certain clan was unlucky and was exterminated, the canonical books were lost and only two or three kittens were left.
Then he came into the Ancient Sacred Academy.
Find the old ancestor of his clan.
There will still be a continuation of the flame!
It was also for this reason that this world, was gradually given the name – Ancient Sacred Courtyard!
……
Of course.
In addition to those who were accidentally left behind.
On the most intense battlefields against the demon race in those years.
There were still some people with great righteousness in their hearts who, in order to leave a Taoist lineage for the Immortal Sect’s fragrance, sacrificed their lives and voluntarily stayed in the Ancient Sacred Courtyard, drawing the ground for an eternity.
It is because they are worried that if one day the situation on the front line is not good.
The Immortal Sect will be destroyed.
It’s all over.
He himself stayed behind, even if he had nothing in the world of the Sacred Academy, even if he was destined to endure thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years of loneliness and isolation.
But one could still leave a spark for the human race.
And for that reason.
In the Sacred Courtyard, all of the previous generation’s pride that stayed behind were honored by the Southern State Immortal Alliance as – Watchers!
……
Though the Watchers were well worth honoring.
However, the vast majority of the people present asked themselves if they were willing to do such a thing.
Although it was said.
The Ancient Holy Academy was good everywhere!
There’s chance, there’s creation, and cultivation is quacking fast.
But ……
That is, the first few thousand years of life have some hope.
Cultivation will always come to an end.
Although theoretically, the highest one could cultivate to the peak of Epiphany in the Holy Academy.
But in reality.
After a cultivator reaches the Epiphany stage, he has to draw on the faith of all beings to cultivate.
The number of living beings in the world of the Holy Courtyard was too small.
The speed of cultivation at that time would be far inferior to the outside world.
There is no way forward.
And how would one face the lonely years that knew no end?
Just thinking about it makes one shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
……
“The hour is up! Enter the Sacred Courtyard!”
The head of the boat!
The old man surnamed Hao announced aloud.
Subsequently.
The entire Ark on the Other Side rumbled.
An incomparably intense immortal light rose up from the top of the ark.
On the body of the ark.
Tens of thousands of formation runes lit up in unison.
It was incomparably spectacular.
The numerous heavenly prides felt like they had turned into light when they were in the midst of it!
At the same time.
They only felt a fragmentation of space around them.
The heavens then swirled.
All the light was completely swallowed up and disappeared.
The deck.
Looking at the ark that suddenly became empty.
The eyes of several Outbreathing Stage powerhouses narrowed slightly as they looked at the shadow of the world of the Ancient Sacred Academy above their heads, and suddenly lamented, “I don’t know, what unlucky little guys will fail to come out this …… time!”
“This kind of thing, who can say?”
“Compared to this, I’m more curious about what new tricks those seniors have prepared for these little brats this year!” Shin couldn’t touch his chin, an amused look suddenly appearing on his face.
Hearing this.
The crowd couldn’t help but look odd and shake their heads.
“Who knows about that?”
“Any more tricks, the essential purpose is to sharpen them, it’s all good!”
“Heh, beautiful words! If I remember correctly, back then, in our session of the Ancient Sacred Academy, you were one of the …… ones who were played by the seniors to the point of crying, right?”
“Nonsense! Believe what you say! Old me didn’t!”
“Those seniors have been inside for too long, so many years of loneliness, it’s also hard for them! Just these few days some little guys went in to play with them …… love to toss it, just don’t make a mess!”
The old man surnamed Hao looked at the world’s shadow that kept rotating.
Suddenly sighed.
At those words, several people simultaneously fell into silence. ……
If one had to use one word to describe the image Wang Xiu and the others saw at this moment.
It was estimated that ……
it was also only fairyland!
They were in a cliffside.
In front of them, there was a sparse and lush mountain forest.
There were not many trees though.
However, every single one of them was a heavenly giant tree that was a hundred feet tall.
Between the tree crowns.
There were figures scurrying about.
That is a flying bird, the species is not rare, it can be seen everywhere in the outside world …… and it is not a demon race, but they emanate the aura of the JieDan stage on their bodies hehe!
A burst of wings.
Then it can set off a gust of wind.
“What the hell!”
“That’s just an ordinary bird, a pure beast that doesn’t even know how to cultivate, to have a JieDan stage cultivation!”
“The aura here is just too rich, more than ten times stronger than the outside world!”
“No wonder even these unusual trees are born so tall!”
“Treasure land, this is a true treasure land!”
Everyone’s eyes were glowing.
The elders hadn’t lied to them.
The Holy Academy world was truly divine and extraordinary.
Ordinary trees could grow to a hundred feet, and ordinary beasts were comparable to JieDan stage cultivators.
“Look behind you guys!”
Someone suddenly cried out in alarm!
The crowd hurriedly turned their heads to look.
Behind them was an endless sea of clouds, and overhead was a vast, clean glaze that looked like it had been scrubbed countless times with a rag.
The sea of clouds tumbled.
Immortal light filled the field, reflecting in all directions.
The crowd swept their eyes and vaguely saw a real dragon playing in the sea of clouds.
The divine light was wrapped around its body, and the dragon’s roar was like thunder.
The breath on its body was even more powerful to the point of being frightening, as if a single snort could suppress them all.
“Tiana!”
“That’s a true dragon! A pure-blooded true dragon!”
“It should be more appropriately referred to as a Holy Dragon, that’s a genuine Dragon Race powerhouse of the Sacred Manifestation Stage!”
“Pure blood true dragon, only Cang Yuan realm has disappeared for many years, only in the legend, I did not expect …… the ancient sacred courtyard actually exist!”
The celestial pride was shocked to the extreme.
There were exclamations of astonishment.
Before the screams fell, they saw another fiery red figure swept past from the sky, and wherever it passed, the flames were so intense that it dyed the sea of clouds in a thousand-mile radius red.
The entire world seemed to be on fire.
“Quickly look, what is that?”
“Divine Phoenix! It’s the legendary Divine Phoenix that can be reborn in fire and control the divine fire of the world!”
“I didn’t expect that in our lifetime, we would be able to see these divine beasts that are only in ancient legends with our own eyes!”
“Is this the Ancient Holy Academy?”
The heaven and earth aura of the Ancient Sacred Courtyard was simply too dense.
The creatures here were simply like being immersed in a container full of aura.
Ordinary creatures could receive all sorts of creations and become divine.
Even the divine beasts that only existed in ancient legends could be glimpsed.
It instantly caused the heavenly pride present to gasp in astonishment.
It was as if they were bumpkins who had never seen the world.
But think about it from a different perspective.
Some ordinary creatures can have such a change because they have spent some years in this world.
Then wouldn’t they, the recognized prides of the Southern State, really be like fish in water? Able to shed their skin?
Thinking about this.
Incomparable excitement surged in everyone’s hearts.
“No wonder …… every time the Holy Academy opens, there are people who can’t leave in time!” Zhang Yuege felt the difference between the surrounding heaven and earth and the outside world and sighed, “If this were me, I wouldn’t be able to leave either! Big brother, how about …… we don’t leave either?
In this world, would it not be pleasurable to study the Thunder Road at ease?”
Wang Xiu smiled before he could speak.
A few disciples of the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect were startled, and they were busy persuading, “Eldest brother, don’t think about it …… If you stay here, the Heavenly Master will kill us!”
“That’s right!”
“……”
Ji Zidian also and Jiang Ling’er and the others also changed their faces, and were busy standing out, blocking in front of Wang Xiu, and rushing at Zhang Yuege, “If you want to stay you stay yourself, don’t drag our senior brother along!”
Li Drunken Moon and Xiang Tian Ge and the others also panicked.
They were afraid that Wang Xiu would be hot-headed and agree.
After all, Senior Brother Wang Xiu had always been a good talker and didn’t know how to refuse!
He had also just paid his respects to Zhang Yuege.
I can’t say for sure!
Wang Xiu lightly laughed, ”Alright, Fishing Song is joking with you guys! This Ancient Sacred Academy is not bad, it is a good place to retire …… But, every generation has every generation’s responsibility!
Nowadays, the demonic sects in the outside world are stirring up, and it’s not good to say when they’ll make a comeback.
The Immortal Sect needs us too.
The seniors in the Sacred Courtyard will guide us in our cultivation.
And young people like us should take it as our duty to revitalize the human race and cultivate for the purpose of driving out the demon race ……
How can we stay in this worldly paradise for the sake of enjoyment?
Besides, in this Holy Academy world, there isn’t even a heavenly tribulation, what kind of Thunder Road can be drilled?”
Hearing these words.
The crowd was instantly relieved.
Worthy of being Senior Brother Wang Xiu, his three views were indeed correct enough!
Zhang Yuege secretly wiped his sweat and also hurriedly responded, “Big brother is right, I’m just kidding, look at how nervous you all are! Is this Saint Son that unaware of the big picture?”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging in the vicinity, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +88!
He had really not thought that much when he had just said that.
He simply thought.
The concentration of aura here was amazing, the environment was good, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
It would be most suitable to use to delve into academic lightning techniques and whatnot.
At the thought of being able to meet with a heavenly talent like big brother, to meet friends with thunder, his entire being was exhilarated.
And yet, he forgot.
There was no heavenly tribulation in this Holy Academy world.
The laws are incomplete.
Even if he sat withered for thousands of years, it would be difficult for him to really comprehend the Way of Thunder, to perfection.
Moreover, if he stayed here.
Then the old Heavenly Master’s painstaking cultivation of him for so many years would have been fed to the dogs.
Thinking of these.
Guilt inevitably arose in Zhang Yuege’s heart.
He could only cover up the embarrassment with a cough.
Blame yourself for saying the wrong thing.
……
Suddenly.
There was a whooshing sound!
A powerful bright light emerged from the depths of the jungle.
The crowd looked in unison.
Several figures stood with their arms folded, standing proudly above the sea of forest.
Look at their young appearance.
There wasn’t much difference from the many heavenly prides present.
However, the aura on their bodies was powerful and solid.
It was surprising that each and every one of them was a YuanYing stage cultivator.
There were even a few people at the head who had actually reached the seventh level of the Yuanying Heaven!
One of them looked indifferent and said, “Disciples of the Fuyang Cave Heaven, follow me!”
Before the words fell.
Several more figures appeared high above.
“Disciples of Jade Balance Cave Heaven, come here to rendezvous!”
“Disciples of Taixu Cave Heaven, follow me!”
“Disciples of the Phyrexian Blessed Land ……”
A silhouette appeared, shouting pretty much the same words under their breath.
The cultivation levels were all in the fifth or sixth heaven of YuanYing.
It was terrifying to the extreme.
Wang Xiu and the others could easily tell that these people were all clear young people of a similar age to them, rather than older cultivators deliberately pretending to be young.
Ji Zidian exclaimed, “Are all the young people within this Sacred Courtyard so high in cultivation?”
Xiang Tiange, clad in battle armor, said in a jarring voice, “If I had cultivated in such an environment since I was young, I would only be stronger than them!”
Li Drunken Moon hissed lightly, “It is said that all the disciples of all the powers, after entering the Holy Academy, will be taken away by the corresponding major powers in the Holy Academy first to train for a period of time ……
Could it be that it’s starting now?”
“But if that’s the case, why aren’t people from my Three Clear Immortal Sect visible?”
Mo Wuwei raised her glasses, puzzled.
There were more and more representatives of the major powers that appeared.
There were constantly disciples from the Cave Heavenly Blessing being taken away.
Even the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect, such as Zhang Yuege, were taken away by a young man who was at the seventh level of the YuanYing Heaven.
Only the ones from the Three Clear Immortal Sect were never seen.
Until the very end.
Only their lone party of forces remained.
Like children no one wants!
……
Darkness.
A diminutive figure in red clothes held her arms and surveyed Wang Xiu and the others with an indifferent expression.
Someone suddenly asked, “Big sister, are we still not going down?”
The woman indifferently said, “What’s the hurry? We have suffered from such a situation for eight hundred years, isn’t it right to let them feel it as well?”
