The Academy

Legend has it that the corpses of two Dou Wang and one Dou Emperor were once hung on that great tree known as the Necro Tree...

However, compared to Su Qian Dou Zong's strength, and the many Dou Emperors and Dou Wang in the academy.

This is probably just a rumor that lasts for a short period of time, because the Necro Tree probably gets new members frequently, and there are definitely more than just two Dou Wang and one Dou Emperor hanging on it.

The "Black-Corner Region" is a special area formed outside the Jia Nan Academy due to chaos. Although many people on the continent are puzzled as to why such a chaotic region, so incompatible with the atmosphere of the ancient and long-standing Jia Nan Academy, exists outside of it, its existence is a testament to its existence. Despite years of suppression, the "Black-Corner Region" continues to expand at an astonishing rate, and its incredible resilience makes those forces that want to suppress it feel powerless.

Of course, for Lin Qing, the Black-Corner Region was an extremely suitable place to reap the rewards. Only in such a place could he fish and plunder without any limits.

He didn't feel any remorse dealing with a group of vicious criminals.

However, he needed to be careful of the Soul Hall; he remembered that there seemed to be quite a few Jiejie Freak from the Soul Hall in the Black-Corner Region.

However, you still need to settle down at the Jia Nan Academy first.

The journey to the Jia Nan Academy was rather dull. Perhaps due to good luck, no ambushes or similar incidents occurred. However, ambushing the Recruitment Squad was something that small, independent cultivators couldn't handle, and even major powers probably wouldn't dare to do it. After all, killing so many prodigies at once would likely lead to a siege by many forces.

In short, nothing happened, the journey was peaceful, and we didn't even encounter Black Sandstorm.

So Lin Qing had nothing else to do besides cultivating. He even chose to continue his journey for the system's mission, which resulted in obtaining a Dou Zong- level servant and ten Immortal Origin Ancient Fruits.

Looking out over the vast, dark plain, against a slightly gloomy sky, a sense of oppression and unease lingered over the plain.

Lin Qing sensed that this place also possessed an energy that could amplify the evil within one's heart.

"Such a strong aura of malevolence!"

He finally understood why such chaotic rules had arisen in the Black-Corner Region, and why it had become famous throughout the entire continent.

This place must have been a Primeval Battlefield, and the so-called plains were probably formed during that battle. The dark soil is probably formed from congealed blood. It's hard to imagine how many people or Magical Beast died to create this scene.

When did this happen? What caused it?

Lin Qing found that the stronger his cultivation became, the more mysteries the Dou Qi Continent revealed; the stronger his cultivation became, the more he felt like a frog in a well.

Fortunately, he wasn't one to dwell on things; if he didn't understand something, he wouldn't delve into it.

'Perhaps there are records of this among the Ancient Clans!'

Lin Qing sighed inwardly.

After flying for half a month, at dawn, the Flying Magical Beast began to slow down, and the Lion also slowed down.

Lin Qing, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin looked up and saw a small town faintly visible between two majestic mountains in the distance.

Behind the town lay the outline of a colossal city, larger than any city Lin Qing had ever seen before! Even from his vantage point high in the sky, he couldn't discern the entire city, demonstrating just how immense it was!

The Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy is located in this city, or rather, Canaan City is a self-sufficient academy city.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also wore expressions of shock, clearly astonished by the sheer size of the city.

"As expected of the number one academy on the continent!"

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but praise her.

Qing Lin, who was standing to the side, nodded seriously upon hearing this.

Lin Qing was speechless for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly acknowledged Xiao Yi Xian's praise!

Although the reason it is ranked first is because those Imperial Clans and the Pill Tower, which are at the Dou Sheng level, did not come to a head, Jia Nan Academy, which has been established for over a hundred years, is indeed the number one among the many academies on the continent.

With its faculty, connections, size, resources, and stringent entry requirements, coupled with the Inner Academy being a gathering place for geniuses and the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame as a cheat code, Jia Nan Academy's reputation as the best is undisputed.

After all, this is indeed a holy land for ordinary people. Even Xiao Yu can become Dou Zong, and Wu Hao, an orphan, has become Dou Zun expert. Compared to Shilaike, who only knows how to brag and ruin people's futures, Jia Nan Academy is really like a white moonlight.

As Lin Qing and the others approached, the Four Elders appeared below Heping Town.

"Isn't that Commander Wu Tianlang and the Great Elder?"

The Enforcement Squad looked at the four elderly men who had appeared with some confusion.

"You guys continue!"

Wu Tianlang stroked his beard and said to his subordinates.

The leader nodded and then led his men to begin patrolling in other directions.

"It must be that little guy! Such a powerful aura, it must be his mount."

One of the elderly men in black spoke up.

"You'll see!"

Another elderly man said.

As the Flying Magical Beast descended rapidly, the Lion steadily followed the group and landed at the flying platform outside Canaan City.

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King landed, Lin Qing and the two women held hands and jumped to the ground.

As soon as the three landed, before they even left the boarding area, four people who had been waiting for a long time walked straight up to them.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a red robe, said with a slight smile:

"Master Lin, hello! I am Hu Gan, the vice dean of the Foreign Languages Department of Canaan Academy!"

"Master Lin, hello! I am Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Jia Nan Academy!"

The speaker was an elderly man in a black robe. He had white hair and beard, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a knife, his gaze piercing.

An elderly man, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, wearing Alchemist's robe and Fifth-Grade Alchemist's Emblem, respectfully cupped his hands towards Lin Qing and said:

"Master Lin, hello! I am Elder Huo in the Alchemy Department Elder. From now on, I will be your colleague!"

"Master Lin, hello! I am Wu Tianlang, the commander of the Enforcement Squad!"

The remaining old man, who exuded a somewhat menacing aura, spoke up.

The four of them spoke up, all while observing Lin Qing.

Because of the Breath-Concealing Jade, apart from sensing that Lin Qing was somewhat dangerous and smelling the fragrance of Medicinal Herb emanating from Lin Qing, they couldn't perceive Lin Qing's strength or anything else.

Lin Qing glanced at the crowd. The auras of the four people in front of him were no different from those of ordinary old men. However, under his perception, there were faint spatial fluctuations around Su Qian, indicating that he had already entered the Dou Zong for many years.

Apart from Su Qian, the other three were all at the Dou Emperor Peak, and there were occasional spatial ripples around them. Lin Qing knew that this was a symbol that Dou Huang expert began to involve spatial power after their Dou Qi had become powerful enough. Once they mastered some spatial power, it would be time to break through to Dou Zong.
