Wandao Academy's Three Trials
"With his talent, making a name for himself shouldn't be difficult, right? Thirty-three years old, Supreme Realm! Such an achievement is enough to shake the past and present, making him the Second Youngest Supreme Being in History!"
Another person chimed in, their voice filled with admiration for Chu Wujiu.
"Since you've mentioned second place, why not talk about first place?"
A slightly mocking voice suddenly broke in, tinged with a hint of bitterness, "Li Qingluan of the Li Clan, not even twenty-four years old, the youngest Supreme Being in history!"
"It's a pity she was already specially admitted to the Academy, otherwise we would have been able to witness her unparalleled beauty today."
"Li Xuan of the Li Clan is extraordinary. I heard he just emerged from seclusion a few days ago and has successfully broken through to the Supreme Realm," someone exclaimed. "This Prodigy of prodigies is truly dazzling."
Among the crowd, Princess Jiang Xuanli of Zhongzhou, with an elegant demeanor like a celestial maiden, listened quietly to the discussions, her beautiful face remaining calm and composed.
Chu Wujiu, Li Qingluan, Li Xuan...
These names may be dazzling, but they can never touch the one and only figure in her heart.
While people chased after empty fame, he had already spread his teachings to all the heavens.
When all the stars were shining brightly, he had already reached a height that no one could reach.
'The youngest Supreme Being?'
Just thinking about that title made Jiang Xuanli's lips curl into an alluring smile.
When he achieves Supreme Being—
Heaven and earth will bear witness to it.
'That is the true, youngest Supreme Being who dominates the world!'
Just as the square was bustling with noise, the world suddenly lost its color.
It wasn't dark clouds, but a bronze furnace the size of a mountain that shattered the sunlight as it arrived.
The Dao Patterns the furnace wall flowed and swirled, while inside, chaos surged and stars rose and fell.
The shadows enveloped half of the Academy, and those covered felt their Spiritual Power stagnate, as if they were about to be sucked into a furnace.
"It's the Chu Clan's 'Heaven and Earth Furnace'!" An elder from the Aristocratic Clan, his face pale, whispered to his Young Master beside him, "Step back! Under the influence of this thing, the Dao Foundation will be suppressed."
At the summit of the furnace, Chu Wujiu's figure appeared blurry in the chaotic energy, with several heavily armored and burly guards standing solemnly behind him.
"It seems I arrived first."
"That's not necessarily true."
A lazy response rang out, but the sound didn't come from just one place; it came from all directions at the same time.
Everyone was shocked to find that the space beside them was rippling like water, with huge gaps appearing.
The other side of the gap was not chaos, but a peaceful and divine land filled with celestial palaces— the Zhao Clan's "Inner Scenery Divine Treasury".
A divine palace constructed of billions of runes slowly drove out.
Zhao Lingyun leaned against the jade seat, playing with the "Boundary Defining Existence" talisman. Four elderly men in plain robes stood quietly on either side, their presence blending seamlessly with the palace.
He smiled down and said, "Squeeze in, can I borrow a spot?"
Before everyone could react, the celestial phenomena changed again.
Half of the sky was shrouded in endless cloud patterns, with stars and mountains flowing among them— the Yun Clan's "Sky-Covering Cloud Seal" hung high.
Yun Zexuan stepped out of the picture, followed by several cultivators in white robes with cloud patterns, each holding a jade tablet, their aura as vast as the sea.
In the other half of the sky, an ancient Immortal path stretches across, with stairways to immortality and scenes of ascension appearing in the mist— the Ye Clan's "Immortal Mausoleum Ancient Bridge" has been revealed.
Ye Lingchuan walked from the ancient bridge, carrying the Nine-Winding Immortal Burial Coffin on his back, accompanied silently by several tomb guardians dressed in hempen clothes and bamboo hats, an atmosphere of Deathly Stillness permeating the air.
Their steps were silent, and they exuded a desolate and Deathly Stillness from ancient tombs.
Although the four did not deliberately display their prowess, the strange phenomena in the four directions of the sky were already in a state of equilibrium, splitting the sky apart.
As everyone gazed up at the four terrifying, opposing phenomena in the sky, they were all shaken, and a sense of awe, originating from the depths of their souls, arose spontaneously.
"This is... the Imperial Clan..." someone murmured unconsciously in the crowd, expressing the thoughts of all the onlookers.
"Even just traveling has been fraught with strange phenomena; if a fight were to break out..."
However, this suffocating pressure was not over yet.
"Sizzle--!"
The void was torn apart by a sharp force, and a Flying Ship led by a Giant Sword sailed out— the Li Clan's "Heavenly Sword Flying Ship"!
The chilling Sword Intent caused the myriad swords below to wail in despair.
Almost simultaneously, the sky seemed to be ignited, and the temperature soared.
"I, Yan Wujin, have arrived!"
Accompanied by this extremely arrogant declaration, a "sun" composed of destructive divine flames violently crashed into the Flame Clan's "Golden Crow Divine Nest"!
The Divine Nest was built of divine gold and ancient wood, and several three-legged Golden Crow flapped their wings and cried out, scattering true fire that would burn the world.
Yan Wujin sat high on the throne in the center of the Divine Nest, riding this world-destroying heavenly fire as it descended, its power unrestrained and its might overwhelming!
However, the Golden Crow Divine Flame was too fierce, and the aftershocks of the true fire swept in all directions, threatening to cause a great disaster.
A Green Giant Palm hand, formed from endless Dao principles, appeared out of thin air.
Like slapping a disobedient ball, the massive Divine Nest, along with the arrogant Yan Wujin, was slapped down from mid-air.
It was firmly pressed into a specific area at the edge of the square, stirring up a sky full of runic halos.
"This Immortal Academy; no disrespect is permitted." An aged yet calm voice rang in everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable authority.
As Li Xuan landed from the Flying Ship, his gaze swept over the several layers of Covering the Sky and Sun phenomena that blotted out the sky, then glanced at Yan Wujin, who had just been shoved into the ground, and couldn't help but marvel:
"Good heavens, with this kind of commotion, anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to wipe out the Wandao Academy."
Chu Wujiu shrugged as he landed. "There's nothing I can do; it's Lineage arrangement. It's a formal occasion, representing the Imperial Clan's reputation, so we can't be careless."
His gaze swept across the crowd, then he suddenly paused, and said in surprise:
"Zhou Yunyi?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Yunyi standing naturally among the crowd, no different from the other ordinary students.
If it hadn't been pointed out, no one would have noticed that a Successor an Imperial Clan was standing there.
He was engrossed in eating some pastry when Chu Wujiu's shout startled him so much that he choked, his face turning bright red as he frantically pounded his chest.
It was the unassuming old servant in gray who had been silently following by his side who promptly handed him a pot of Spirit Spring.
Zhou Yunyi took the bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls before letting out a long sigh of relief and recovering.
Yes, that's right.
When others travel, the sun shines brightly, accompanied by Golden Crow leading the way, Jade Chariot carriage with a canopy, and extraordinary Lineage spectacles that Covering the Sky and Sun.
However, when Zhou Yunyi traveled, he was only accompanied by two attendants.
If it weren't for such a grand occasion, there wouldn't even be any attendants!
However, those around him thought he was deliberately keeping a low profile, and they erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"It's Zhou Clan First Feather!"
"You've traveled so simply this time, surely it's for our sake?"
"I've seen the Jade Slip recording the slaughter of Alien Race on the Immortal Path countless times! Today I finally see its true form!"
The crowd erupted in cheers far more enthusiastic than before, with many young cultivators unable to contain their excitement.
However, Zhou Yunyi covered half of his face with Folding Fan, and pursed his lips behind the fan when no one could see him.
'I also want that Covering the Sky and Sun spectacle!'
'I also want to have the same grand entourage as other Imperial Clan Successor, with the Great Dao roaring as they travel!'
'But my family won't give it to me!'
The Zhou Clan's foundation has been damaged and is still recovering. They are careful with every resource and cannot afford to be as extravagant as other families.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunyi glanced at the several magnificent phenomena in the sky and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
'Wait! They'll come back, they'll all come back!'
Ji Wuchen also arrived at this moment.
He nodded slightly to the several Successor the Imperial Clan as a greeting, and then asked:
"Wang Xuance didn't come?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Wujiu glanced around and frowned, "Indeed, they are nowhere to be seen, and Qin Wangchuan hasn't arrived yet either."
Yun Zexuan shrugged, a look of utter familiarity on his face:
"Wang Xuance always travels alone, and he didn't say he would come."
After chatting for a while, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
However, at that moment, a scorching and domineering aura pressed down from the other side of the sky, directly confronting Chu Wujiu's Nine Prisons Battle Body aura.
The visitor was named Xiang Haoran, Successor of the Immortal Dao Lineage 'Divine Void Dao Palace'.
He wore a black robe embroidered with crimson flames, had a handsome face, and deep, unfathomable eyes that contained a blazing light capable of burning everything in its path.
Xiang Haoran possesses exceptional talent, having awakened the rare 'Divine Void Flame Swallowing Body,' making him incredibly powerful. He once clashed with Chu Wujiu during a battle for the Secret Realm.
The two fought many times, with each side winning and losing.
Xiang Haoran landed, his gaze immediately locking onto Chu Wujiu. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips, and he let out a cold snort.
"Chu Wujiu, you're still the same as ever."
Chu Wujiu's eyes blazed with fighting spirit instantly. Without a word, he unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist!
"Boom!"
The force of the punches howled, Space Tremors.
However, Xiang Haoran seemed to have anticipated this, his figure drifting to the side like a ghost, easily dodging the punch.
After he stopped, he patted off non-existent dust from his robes, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:
That's why I said you're still the same.
Chu Wujiu pointed at his head and cursed, "All you do is dodge and weave! If you've got the guts, stand still and take my punch!"
Xiang Haoran gave him a look as if he were an idiot and sneered, "Stand still and let me hit you? Chu Wujiu, your provocation is too low-level."
He was about to speak when a voice, sharp as honey and venom, suddenly cleaved through the crowd:
"Get out of my way! Don't block my path!"
Her voice was clear and crisp, yet it carried an undisguised arrogance.
Those who heard this frowned and turned to see who it was that dared to be so presumptuous in the Wandao Academy.
He was stunned when he saw it.
Qin Zhaoer walked out with unhurried steps, her gauze skirt swaying, her figure slender and graceful.
That face was indeed captivating—phoenix eyebrows and alluring eyes, lips naturally red, yet there was an unyielding fierceness lingering between them.
Countless eyes were fixed on her, a mixture of amazement and greed.
It seemed she had noticed the disgusting gazes from behind.
Qin Zhaoer suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She didn't even bother to turn around and confirm; she simply flicked her finger—a tiny silver ray pierced the air, so fast that only a blur remained.
"Puff!"
The dull thud of a weapon piercing flesh was followed by a cultivator's heart-wrenching scream.
The man covered his eyes and staggered to the ground, bright red blood instantly seeping through his fingers.
Qin Zhaoer then slowly turned around, her gaze sweeping over the man's convulsing body, Heaven-Opening across her lips:
"A piece of trash who can't control his eyes should be gouged out and fed to the dogs."
She tilted her head, her gaze sweeping over the silent crowd, and suddenly smiled sweetly:
"Keep looking? Next time, it won't just be your eyes that are ruined—we'll chop off your useless things too!"
The scene fell into Deathly Stillness; everyone was stunned by the sudden bloodshed and arrogance.
Yet, not many people dared to speak out.
After all, this person is one of the Qin Clan's Dao Child.
As everyone knows, offending one Dao Child the Qin Clan is tantamount to offending the entire family.
Among those Dao Child, there was one Qin Wudao.
The mere thought of that person made everyone else afraid to look at her.
Just then, an ancient and majestic aura descended.
Elder Liang of the Wandao Academy, dressed in a white and blue robe, slowly appeared on the high platform.
His gaze swept across the room, lingering briefly on Qin Zhaoer, seemingly displeased with her behavior, but ultimately he only glanced at her lightly and said nothing more.
He cleared his throat, his voice booming like a great bell, resounding throughout the entire venue:
"Quiet!"
As Elder Liang's voice fell, he waved his hand, sending everyone present into a special Small World.
"The entrance test for the Wandao Academy shall now begin!"
