Chapter 1213: The Commotion After Exiting the Sacred Academy
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
This dao lecture was very long. After the near-death experience to one's state of heart, they returned back to their cultivation.
The Sky Connecting Realm connected them to the starry skies and when they closed their eyes to cultivate, they could clearly sense the tyrannical law energies radiating from the constellations.
They seemed to be slowly swimming through space; everything felt like a dream and even the flow of time was eventually forgotten.
At their 50th year of staying at the sacred academy, the geniuses finally opened their eyes. They no longer saw the starry sky but the immortal sea instead.
They were all seated on boats materialized from immortal energy and were floating on the immortal sea. The formless wind bustled by, bringing them to the opposite shore.
This was the same place they had gathered at before they stepped into the immortal sea, leading them to the four sacred academies.
When Qin Wentian opened his eyes, a smile spread across his face. Both Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng were beside him.
"This dream was so long, it felt like several years have passed by," Qin Wentian said quietly. Qingcheng was now at the third-level while both he and Qing`er had broken through to the seventh-level. In addition, their immortal-foundations were brimming with energy, and had a crystalline glow surrounding them. Their inner immortal-energy also seemed to be of a much higher quality than compared to the past.
This trip into the academy hadn't been as simple as raising the levels of their cultivation bases.
Staring ahead, the waves of the immortal sea crashed into the shore, causing a rumbling sound to echo out. The numerous geniuses then stood up as they proceeded ahead, feeling waves in their hearts.
These fifty years had felt like a dream.
In this dream, all of them had enjoyed immense benefits, especially so for those who had a lower cultivation base when they'd first entered the academy. Their improvements were the most obvious. Conversely, for those who were at a higher level, it had been more difficult for them to improve. For example, for experts at the ninth level that wanted to improve themselves, they could only try to gain a hint of insight regarding immortal-king might, eventually controlling a trace of it. Sadly, not many people had succeeded.
That step was simply too difficult to take.
However, during the last dao lecture, there were several ninth-level immortal-foundation characters who managed to prevail. It was as if that life-and-death battle as well as their journey through the starry skies had awakened something inside them, shortening the distance between them and the immortal king realm.
The people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, the White Tiger Race, and all who had allied with them, they were all extremely quiet at this moment—none of them could bother with starting a fight. They quietly continued on their way and moved to the other shore, searching for the exit.
In the external world within the Nine Tripod City, at the entrance to the sacred academy, it was no longer as bustling as it had been in the past. After all, it had been so long since the sacred academy's recruitment period. As time flowed by, those who had gathered to watch the liveliness had eventually all dispersed. However, the major powers had arranged some experts to stand guard in this place, preparing to receive the geniuses exiting the sacred academy.
To those people at the immortal king realm or higher, even the passing of a hundred years felt like a brief interlude. They would just treat their time in the Nine Tripod City as immersing themselves in the mortal world.
But even so, there were still experts who were hanging around the sacred academy's exit in order to observe.
And at this moment, a beam of light radiated from the exit as a figure walked out from the exit.
This figure exuded an unexcelled arrogance and had a pair of golden eyes. He was none other than Jia Nantian. At the instant he appeared, numerous gazes turned to look in his direction, and the crowd felt their hearts shaking.
There were people finally exiting the sacred academy.
After waves of fluctuations, more and more figures exited. Now everyone's attention had focused on this sudden development. Experts from afar could feel the fluctuations emanating from this area, and all of them respectively sped over.
"Bzz!" A violent gust of wind swept over everything as a terrifying Great Roc appeared in the sky. He turned his gaze towards Jia Nantian and the other sky rocs as he smiled, "Nantian, you guys are finally back."
The surrounding space fluctuated wildly from the energy emissions, rocking the entire area as numerous figures appeared one after another. These newcomers were now staring at the geniuses of the younger generations who were exiting the sacred academy. These people were all the elders of these geniuses, and their immortal senses swept the entire area of the Nine Tripod City, trying to find the juniors from their sects or clans.
"Haha, children! You guys are finally back!" A violent-sounding voice rang out from the air as a terrifying aura radiated from the '王' mark on the forehead of this man. This was none other than a terrifying white tiger king from the White Tiger Race.
In another location, the silhouette of a human emperor appeared, exuding a towering appearance of dignity.. He wore a crown on his head and radiated a might that seemed capable of dominating the world. It was none other than a supremely powerful expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
"Shatian, Wudi." This expert glanced at Huang Shatian and Huang Wudi with a smile on his face. He then continued to watch as more experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire emerged.
In another direction, Nanfeng Guhong quietly stood there, watching her clan members exit the sacred academy with a smile on her face.
All the major powers in the immortal realms had sent over a representative to receive their juniors.
When Qin Wentian and his group exited, he stared at the surroundings and spotted the Thousand Transformations Immortal Emperor who was also smiling at all of them.
The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was a power that had recently rose up in prestige. In truth, only a rare few from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had entered the sacred academy. The vast majority were disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
Right now, Bai Wuya and many other immortal kings had also entered the academy but they were in a completely different dimension from the immortal-foundation characters and weren't out yet. Hence, the person from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect who was here to receive them was the Thousand Transformations Immortal Emperor himself.
"There are so many supreme experts." The experts who'd rushed over from the Nine Tripod City all felt their hearts shaking when they saw this scene. They were more than 20,000 geniuses and they all came from various locations among the immortal realms. And these geniuses were backed by the major powers of the immortal realms.
These were all peak powers, all of them had sent some people over here.
"Emperor Lord." Qin Wentian and his group sped over to the side of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
"Not bad." The emperor lord smiled as he nodded. Qin Wentian had actually entered the seventh-level of immortal-foundation within a short period of 50 years. Such a rate of improvement was truly terrifying.
"Where is Youdi and Dangtian?" At this moment, that powerful expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire couldn't help asking after failing to catch sight of Huang Youdi. He knew that Huang Youdi always liked to follow after Huang Shatian. But when everyone from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire came out, Huang Youdi was nowhere to be found.
"ROAR!" A low-sounding beast roar rang out as a startling might swept over everything. In the direction of the White Tiger Race, White-eye and his group complained to the elders of their race. Those white tigers who failed to return, had already been killed by humans.
Similarly in the direction where the Southern Phoenix Clan had gathered, the holy maidens took out the droplets of nirvanic blood and handed them over to Nanfeng Guhong. Nanfeng Guhong's eyes flashed with an intense coldness as the temperature in the surroundings suddenly plunged downwards, enveloping this entire space.
Soon, many experts were radiating terrifying auras as the juniors from their sects and clans told them about their experiences in the sacred academy. If these peak-level experts were to start a fight in this place, the entire Nine Tripod City would definitely be demolished with everything turned into rubble.
Right now, a towering baleful energy blasted out from the direction of the Southern Phoenix Clan. Nanfeng Guhong stepped out, her aura sheltering all the holy maidens. She stared coldly at the white tiger blasting out its aura as she said contemptuously, "A bunch of vile creatures."
"IMPUDENT!" The white tiger roared in a rough voice, his thunderous words shaking the entire space, causing the eardrums of many to tremble.
That human emperor from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire turned his gaze in the direction of Qing`er and Qin Wentian as he coldly said, "The daughter of Evergreen Immortal Emperor? You're the one who killed Youdi?"
"He deserved to die," Qing`er replied in a tone that was just as cold.
The eyes of that human emperor gleamed with a terrifying intent. Huang Youdi had deserved to die?
"Do you know who you're speaking to?" The aura of that human emperor gushed forth and enveloped Qing`er.
"The sacred academy was originally a place for the junior generations to temper themselves. Are you planning to interfere in the conflict between the juniors? Are you not afraid of being seen as a joke?" A voice drifted out from the void. In an instant, many experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire felt a terrifying pressure boring down on all of them, including that human emperor.
Only to see the human emperor inclining his head to glance at his surroundings. However, even with his powerful senses, he could not determine the origins of that voice.
"Of course he deserved to die." The same voice continued to resonate as a powerful female cultivator appeared. The experts of Matriarch Ji all flew over to her as they respectfully greeted, "Second senior sister!"
This female was one of the strongest disciples under Matriarch Ji, a disciple who was at the immortal emperor-level and was long someone who was extremely famous in the immortal realms.
At the location of the exit of the academy, the entire scene was in chaos. Which geniuses here didn't have some background behind them? If a war truly erupted, all of the juniors here would surely die from the aftershocks.
If an immortal emperor wished to kill an immortal-foundation character, they could do so easily with a wave of their hands. No one would be able to block the other party from decimating their juniors.
A powerful might bore down on the atmosphere as everyone turned silent. For peak powers, a war was something they had to consider carefully as both sides would have trepidations. This was especially so for characters at the immortal-emperor level.
"It's fine if it was a life and death battle. However, there was someone who specifically barbequed my tribe members after their death. How can we not kill such a character? This person is none other than Qin Wentian, he was the one who gave the order, telling everyone to feast on white tigers. We have to kill him no matter what." White-eye pointed in the direction of Qin Wentian as he spoke. The person the White Tiger Race hated the most, was undoubtedly Qin Wentian.
Today with so many experts, it was evidently impossible to deal with all of them. Hence, they only chose one target - Qin Wentian.
"That's right, this man is despicable and shameless. He was the one who initiated the killing and if it wasn't for him, many geniuses within the academy wouldn't have died. We must kill him today for sure." An expert of the Skymist Immortal Empire pointed his finger at Qin Wentian.
"Gu Xiao of my Paragon Sword Sect died in the joint attacks by him and his allies." An expert from the Paragon Sword Sect lied.
Qin Wentian's eyes turned cold. The hatred these people had for him was truly very deep.
Everyone wanted to kill him.
"Entering the sacred academy with people like you was the greatest insult to I, Qin Wentian. All of you aren't fit to be called chosen." Qin Wentian calmly replied.
"You guys failed to kill my senior brother and were counter-killed instead, but now you even want to sully my senior brother's reputation saying he is despicable? Didn't he kill all of them in a fair and just combat?" Jun Mengcheng roared. "Back then Huang Shatian who was at the peak of immortal-foundation fought with my senior brother who was only at the sixth level. Yet, they actually fought to a draw? Does my senior brother even need to join forces with us to settle those pieces of trash that went to hunt him down?"
"The white tigers always wanted to humiliate our clan sisters. The words they spoke... and there's no doubt if some maidens were to land in their hands, this bunch of vile creatures would surely do unspeakable acts against them. Hence, many of our clan sisters were all forced to transform into a droplet of nirvanic blood, awaiting rebirth, as well as to avoid falling into their hands. These beasts all deserved death." A holy maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan spoke to Nanfeng Guhong.
