Great Thousand Northern Region, Northern Heavens Continent.
This was one of the many star-like continents in the Northern Region, of medium scale.
Upon it stood an academy: Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, known as one of the five finest spiritual academies in the Great Thousand World.
Though it ranked at the bottom among the five great spiritual academies, and in recent years had gradually declined to the point where its position might not even be secure.
Still, it was one of the five great academies.
On Northern Heavens Continent, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy also had a rival force eyeing it covetously from the sidelines: the Dragon Demon Palace.
Unlike Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Dragon Demon Palace had been developing at a tremendous pace in recent years. It possessed countless experts, and talented younger generations emerged one after another. It was Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's greatest rival.
Every year, quite a few spiritual academy students were killed by members of the Dragon Demon Palace.
The relationship between the two was somewhat similar to that between Jia Nan Academy and the Black Corner Region on the Dou Qi Continent.
Thus, the two sides harbored a deep-seated hatred for one another, each seemingly wishing that one day they could wipe the other out completely.
