Chapter 179: Opening of the Holy Academy, Heaven-defying Treasure Land (4500 words)
A massive world illusion hovers above the Other Shore Ark.
Countless changes occur within.
With just a glance, it feels as if it has experienced the cycles of spring, summer, autumn, and winter countless times.
A large number of void storms linger at the entrance of the world.
That world is like a huge magnet.
Continuously absorbing energy from all directions in the boundless void and everything else.
The void is not completely pristine.
There are numerous unknown fragments here, as well as many broken corpses.
This is already located in the fourth layer of the void.
The entire Ashen Essence World.
The means known to reach this place are few and far between.
The Other Shore Ark is one of them.
The dangers here cannot be described in words.
Everything.
In this layer of the void, everything will quickly decompose, dissolve, and fall into silence.
Even cultivators are no exception.
So it appears exceptionally clean here.
Like a night sky without stars.
But unfortunately.
People look up at the massive world illusion and a difficult-to-describe sense of fear arises in their hearts.
As if they were tiny creatures, instinctively reacting to the existence of the unknown giant.
At the entrance of the world.
The void distorts.
A vortex that is extremely slow but seems to have existed since ancient times slowly rotates.
Devouring everything in the void.
The Other Shore Ark arrives here.
The surface immediately reveals an incredibly dense ripple.
As if there is an unimaginable force trying to destroy it and devour it invisibly!
An old man surnamed Hao walks to the bow of the ark and looks at the geniuses in front of him, saying loudly, "The world before you is the realm where the Holy Academy is located! Later, we will open a teleportation channel for you... and send you into the Holy Academy! Your elders from each family have probably already explained to you about the Ancient Saint Academy. However, I still want to emphasize it here! Remember, you only have five years! After five years, no matter how many opportunities you have obtained or whether your wishes have been fulfilled, you must leave... Otherwise, you can only stay in the Holy Academy forever!"
His voice is extremely serious.
The many geniuses present also show a serious expression and subconsciously nod.
The Ancient Saint Academy.
Opens every eight hundred years.
Each time, it only opens for five years.
If you miss it, you can only wait for the next eight hundred years!
But unfortunately, the rules of the world where the Ancient Saint Academy is located restrict free entry and exit to cultivators under a hundred years old!
Once the time has passed, you can no longer come out.
Even though there are countless opportunities and treasures in the Holy Academy that can rapidly enhance one's strength.
But if you can't come out.
What is the meaning of all this?
You should know that the Ancient Saint Academy is a closed small world where cultivators cannot establish a connection with the heavenly dao outside.
They cannot transcend tribulation.
The limit for everyone is the peak of Saint Manifestation.
Therefore, there is naturally no such thing as cultivating all the way until transcending tribulation, until becoming an immortal... and then tearing apart the rules of the world with absolute power!
...
These words.
Every time the Ancient Saint Academy opens.
They are repeated countless times.
But there are always some geniuses who, for various reasons, are left behind.
Some are for comprehending a certain dao, just one step away from achieving perfection in cultivation and unwilling to leave.
Some are waiting for a supreme elixir to mature and bear fruit, just a few days away.
And some are in seclusion and forget the passage of time.
In any case...
There are many reasons, but the result is the same.
The Ancient Saint Academy was not originally a holy academy.
It was just an extraordinary treasure land of opportunities.
But as time passed.
Over the years.
More and more people from the major Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands of the South State were left in the Holy Academy.
They have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation.
Unable to leave again.
Longevity is boring to the point of explosion.
So, gradually, someone came up with an idea.
These people who stayed inside the Holy Academy.
They began to teach the descendants of the major forces!
Not only can they guide them in their cultivation.
They can also leave some sparks for the major sects.
In case, if a sect has bad luck and is annihilated, its scriptures are lost, and only a few cats remain.
Then they can enter the Ancient Saint Academy.
And find their own ancestral founder.
As long as there is incense, there will be continuity!
Therefore, this world gradually became known as the Ancient Saint Academy!
...
Of course.
Apart from those who were accidentally left behind.
In the most intense battlefields against the Demon Race in those years.
There are still some righteous people who sacrifice themselves for the sake of leaving a lineage for the Immortal Gate, voluntarily staying in the Ancient Saint Academy, drawing a line in the sand, never to leave for eternity.
It is because they are worried that if the front line situation is not good one day.
The Immortal Gate will be completely finished.
By staying behind, even if they have nothing in the world of the Holy Academy, even if they are destined to endure thousands or even tens of thousands of years of loneliness and hardship.
They can still leave a spark for the human race.
Therefore.
All the previous generation geniuses who stayed in the Holy Academy are respectfully called "Guardians" by the South State Immortal Alliance.
...
Although the Guardians are worthy of respect.
But if everyone present examines their hearts, the vast majority would not want to do such a thing.
Although it is said that the Ancient Saint Academy is good in every aspect!
There are opportunities, fortunes, and rapid cultivation.
But...
It's just that after a few thousand years, there is some anticipation.
Cultivation always has an end.
Although theoretically, cultivators in the Holy Academy can cultivate to the peak of Saint Manifestation.
In reality.
After reaching the Saint Manifestation stage, cultivators have to draw on the faith of sentient beings to cultivate.
The number of living beings in the world of the Holy Academy is too small.
At that time, the speed of cultivation will be far inferior to the outside world.
There is no way forward.
How can they face the endless lonely years?
Just thinking about it makes people shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
...
"The time has come! Enter the Holy Academy!"
At the bow!
An old man surnamed Hao announced loudly.
Then.
The entire Other Shore Ark shook violently.
An extremely intense immortal light soared into the sky from the top of the ark.
On the hull.
Countless array runes lit up together.
Extremely spectacular.
Many geniuses felt that they had turned into light!
At the same time.
They felt that the space around them shattered.
Then everything spun around.
All the light was completely swallowed and disappeared.
On the deck.
Looking at the suddenly empty ark.
Several Astral Projection stage Almighty narrowed their eyes and looked at the illusion of the Ancient Saint Academy world above their heads. They suddenly sighed, "I wonder who, this time... won't be able to come out!"
"Who knows about this kind of thing?"
"Compared to that, I'm more curious about what surprises the seniors have prepared for these little brats this year!" Shen Buxing touched his chin, and an interesting expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Upon hearing this.
The crowd couldn't help but look strange and shook their heads.
"Who knows?"
"No matter how many surprises, the ultimate goal is to temper them, which is a good thing!"
"Haha, well said! If I remember correctly, in our generation of the Ancient Saint Academy, there was one who was made to cry by the seniors... and that was you, right?"
"Nonsense! You're making things up! I didn't!"
"Those seniors have been in there for too long, the loneliness of so many years is also hard for them! It's just these few days that some little guys have gone in to accompany them... Let them have fun, just don't cause any casualties!"
The old man surnamed Hao looked at the constantly rotating illusion of the world.
Suddenly sighed.
Upon hearing this, several people fell into silence at the same time.
...
If we had to use one word to describe the scene that Wang Xiu and the others saw at this moment.
I guess...
It can only be described as a fairyland!
They were standing on a cliff.
In front of them was a sparse and lush mountain forest.
Although there were not many trees.
But each one was a towering giant tree, reaching a height of hundreds of feet.
Among the treetops.
There were figures moving swiftly.
Those were flying birds, not rare in species, and can be seen everywhere in the outside world... they are not Monster Race, but they exude the aura of the Core Formation Stage!
With a flap of their wings.
They could stir up strong winds.
"What the hell!"
"Those are just ordinary birds, pure wild beasts, they don't even know how to cultivate, yet they have the cultivation of the Core Formation Stage!"
"The spiritual energy here is so rich, more than ten times stronger than the outside world!"
"No wonder even these ordinary trees grow so tall!"
"A treasure land, this is a true treasure land!"
Everyone's eyes were shining.
The elders did not deceive them.
The Holy Academy world is indeed extraordinary.
Ordinary trees can grow up to hundreds of feet, and ordinary wild beasts can rival Core Formation Stage cultivators.
"Look behind you!"
Someone suddenly exclaimed!
Everyone quickly turned their heads to look.
Behind them was an endless sea of clouds, and above their heads was a vast and clean glass-like sky that seemed to have been wiped countless times.
The sea of clouds churned.
Fairy lights filled the wilderness, reflecting in all directions.
As they looked around, they could faintly see a true dragon frolicking in the sea of clouds.
Surrounded by divine light, the dragon's roar was like thunder.
The aura emanating from its body was so powerful that it made people's hearts tremble, as if a single breath could suppress them all.
"Oh my god!"
"That's a true dragon! A pure-blooded true dragon!"
"It should be called a holy dragon, a true powerhouse of the Saint Manifestation stage!"
"Pure-blooded true dragons have disappeared from the Ashen Essence World for many years, only existing in legends... I didn't expect them to actually exist in the Ancient Saint Academy!"
The geniuses were extremely shocked.
They exclaimed one after another.
Before the screams could fade, another fiery figure flew across the sky, leaving behind a raging flame that dyed the thousands of miles of sea of clouds red.
The whole world seemed to be on fire.
"Look, what is that?"
"A phoenix! It's the legendary phoenix that can be reborn in fire and control the divine fire of the world!"
"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to see these divine beasts that only exist in ancient legends!"
"Is this the Ancient Saint Academy?"
The spiritual energy of the Ancient Saint Academy's world is indeed too rich.
The creatures here are like soaking in a container filled with spiritual energy.
Ordinary creatures can undergo various changes and become divine.
Even the divine beasts that only exist in ancient legends can reveal their true appearance.
Instantly, the geniuses present were filled with excitement.
As if they had never seen the world before.
But looking at it from another perspective.
Some ordinary creatures, because they have stayed in this world for a few years, have undergone such changes.
Then what about them, the recognized geniuses of the South State? Wouldn't they be like fish in water? Can they undergo a rebirth?
Thinking of this.
Everyone's hearts were filled with an extremely excited expression.
"No wonder... every time the Holy Academy opens, there are people who can't leave in time!" Zhang Yuge felt the difference between the world around him and the outside world, and exclaimed, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave either! Big brother, how about... we don't leave either?
In this world, we can focus on studying the Thunder Dao, wouldn't that be great?"
Wang Xiu smiled and hadn't had a chance to speak.
Several disciples from the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate were shocked and quickly persuaded, "Senior Brother, you must not think like that... if you stay here, the Heavenly Master will kill us!"
"That's right!"
"..."
Ji Zidian and Jiang Ling'er and others also changed their faces and stood up, blocking Wang Xiu and facing Zhang Yuge, saying, "If you want to stay, you can stay by yourself, don't drag us, Senior Brother!"
Li Zuoyue and Xiang Tiange and others were also panicked.
Afraid that Wang Xiu would agree without thinking.
After all, Wang Xiu's junior brother is someone who is always easy to talk to and doesn't know how to refuse!
They had just worshipped Zhang Yuge as their senior brother.
"You can't say for sure!"
Wang Xiu chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, Yuge is just joking with you! Although Ancient Saint Academy is good and a good place to retire... but each generation has its own responsibilities!
Nowadays, the outside demonic sects are stirring, and it's hard to say when they will come back.
Even Immortal Gate needs us.
The seniors in the academy will guide us in our cultivation.
And we, the younger generation, should take it upon ourselves to revitalize the human race and cultivate to drive out the Demon Race...
How can we stay in this paradise just for the sake of pleasure?
Moreover, in this world of the academy, there is not even a heavenly calamity. What kind of thunder path can be researched here?"
Hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiu is indeed a junior brother worthy of respect, his values are truly upright!
Zhang Yuge secretly wiped away his sweat and quickly responded, "Big brother is right, I was just joking. Look at how nervous you all are! Am I such an ignorant person as the Saint Child?"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +88 mana!]
When he said those words, he really didn't think much about it.
He just simply thought that the spiritual energy concentration here was astonishing, the environment was good, and the atmosphere was peaceful. It was the most suitable place for studying academic thunder techniques.
Just the thought of being able to make friends with a genius like his big brother through thunder made him excited.
But he forgot.
There is no heavenly calamity in this world of the academy.
The laws are incomplete.
Even if he sat in meditation for thousands of years, it would be very difficult for him to truly comprehend the way of thunder to perfection.
And if he stayed here.
Then the Old Heavenly Teacher's painstaking cultivation of him for so many years would be in vain.
Thinking of these things, Zhang Yuge couldn't help but feel guilty.
He could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.
Blaming himself for saying the wrong thing.
...
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
A powerful light appeared from deep within the forest.
Everyone looked over.
Several figures stood with their hands behind their backs, towering above the sea of trees.
They looked young.
There was not much difference between them and the many geniuses present.
But their aura was strong and solid.
Each and every one of them was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Even the leaders of the group had reached the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer!
One of them said indifferently, "Fuyao Grotto-Heaven disciples, follow me!"
Before the words fell, several more figures appeared above.
"Yuheng Grotto-Heaven disciples, gather here!"
"Taixu Grotto-Heaven disciples, follow me!"
"Huiyue Blessed Land disciples..."
One figure after another appeared, shouting similar words.
Their cultivation levels were all at the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.
Extremely terrifying.
Wang Xiu and the others could easily determine that all these people were young like them, and not older cultivators pretending to be young.
Ji Zidian exclaimed, "Are all the young people in the academy so powerful?"
Xiang Tiange, wearing battle armor, said in a deep voice, "If we had cultivated in such an environment since childhood, I would be even stronger than them!"
Li Zuoyue whispered, "It is said that disciples from all forces, after entering the academy, will be taken away by the corresponding major forces in the academy for training for a period of time...
Could it be that it's starting now?"
"But if that's the case, why haven't we seen anyone from my Three Purities Immortal Gate?"
Mo Wuwei raised his glasses and asked in confusion.
Representatives from various major forces kept appearing.
Disciples from Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land were being taken away one after another.
Even disciples from Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate like Zhang Yuge were taken away by a young man at the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer.
Only the disciples of Three Purities Immortal Gate had yet to be seen.
Until the end.
Only their faction was left alone.
Like unwanted children!
...
In the shadows.
A figure dressed in red, with a curvaceous figure, crossed her arms and looked at Wang Xiu and the others with an indifferent expression.
Someone suddenly asked, "Big sister, shouldn't we go down now?"
The woman said indifferently, "What's the rush? We have endured this situation for eight hundred years, let them experience it too, shouldn't we?"
