The Oldest Divine Art in the Spirit Art Hall, the Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture!

Within the Spirit Art Hall was a special space resembling a sea of stars.

Every star represented a spiritual art.

The brighter a star shone, the higher the grade of the spiritual art it represented!

Walking down the only corridor and watching those star-like clusters drift near and far, Luo Li was filled with amazement.

It truly deserved to be one of the Five Great Academies.

Its foundation in spiritual arts was certainly not to be underestimated.

It did not necessarily need countless especially high-grade spiritual arts, but it certainly needed arts suited to the vast majority of people.

With light steps, Luo Li gradually made her way deeper into the Spirit Art Hall.

At that moment, two pairs of eyes somewhere in the Spirit Art Hall were observing Luo Li's every move.

"You're saying that this little girl killed Demon Dragon Son right after entering the academy?"

An old man in white, with crane-white hair and a youthful face, sat by a chessboard and asked in slight astonishment.

Before him stood Elder Liu from the Task Hall.

The Northern Sea Dragon Kun Divine Beast Blood Essence was worth seven million Spiritual Value.

Yet this little girl currently challenging the Spirit Art Hall had obtained it directly.

The reason she had obtained such a precious divine item was actually because she had killed Demon Dragon Son, second on the Bounty Ranking!

Within the Dragon Demon Palace, Demon Dragon Son had been one of the foremost young geniuses, second only to Mo Xingtian, who had already reached the Heaven-reaching Realm!

They had targeted Demon Dragon Son many times before, yet never achieved any results.

Who could have imagined that Demon Dragon Son would suddenly end up with his corpse in one place and his head in another? It was truly sigh-worthy.

"That's right, Elder Zhu Tian."

Elder Liu nodded and continued, "Luo Li should already be in the Heaven-reaching Realm, and she also possesses a Nine Netherbird that is about to undergo tribulation and evolve into a divine beast."

"That Northern Sea Lord's blood essence was meant for the Nine Netherbird."

Elder Zhu Tian was a Supreme Realm expert and one of the five Heavenly Seat Elders of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. By arrangement, he would oversee the various matters concerning the new batch of students entering the academy.

Although he was only at the First-grade Supreme Realm, he was already a rare top-tier expert on the Northern Heavens Continent.

Few matters could shock him.

Much less such astonishing news one after another.

"Let me process this."

He rubbed his brow, having completely lost the mood to play chess.

A freshman had reached the Heaven-reaching Realm, a level many senior students had failed to reach? What kind of joke was that?

To be honest, he seriously doubted whether Elder Liu was telling the truth.

"How did a freshman like her enter the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy ahead of time?"

After pondering for a long while, Elder Zhu Tian asked this question.

Compared to everything else, investigating her background was important.

"Luo Li holds a Nine-Colored Spiritual Value Token and was personally brought in by Dean Ta Cang."

Elder Liu paused, then continued, "I heard that this year's Spirit Road Champion did not choose any spiritual academy. Could it be her?"

Spirit Road Champion!

Elder Zhu Tian rose to his feet, unable to suppress his excitement.

"No wonder, no wonder."

Now, everything made sense.

Only the Spirit Road Champion could have Dean Ta Cang personally welcome her and grant her a Nine-Colored Spiritual Value Token that symbolized status.

Among all the students, not even Shen Cangsheng was qualified to receive a Nine-Colored Spiritual Value Token.

"Arrange the best divine art in the Spirit Art Hall for Luo Li."

Elder Zhu Tian immediately made his decision, unceremoniously arranging special treatment for Luo Li.

Although the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy advocated that students cultivate through their own efforts and did not openly favor anyone.

Luo Li was simply too outstanding.

And she brought far too much glory to the academy!

In recent years' academy competitions, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, one of the Five Great Academies, had performed terribly.

If its results remained poor for a few more years, its title as one of the Five Great Academies would be stripped away and given to someone more capable.

Falling from the ranks of the Five Great Academies would be an immense humiliation.

Since Luo Li had already displayed sufficient talent and strength, Elder Zhu Tian saw no issue with giving her better treatment within reasonable limits.

"No, there's no need, is there?"

At that moment, Elder Liu moved his gaze away from the light screen, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Under Elder Zhu Tian's puzzled gaze, he explained,

"She has already seized the spiritual art at the deepest part of the Spirit Art Hall."

Elder Zhu Tian frowned tightly and hurriedly looked over.

It was a black sphere of light, containing a dark scroll.

Ancient beast patterns were etched upon the scroll. Faintly, figures of powerful ancient beasts roaring emerged from it, radiating an incredibly terrifying divine might.

"The Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture... she obtained it so easily?"

Within the Spirit Art Hall existed an exceedingly special Divine-grade Spiritual Art.

Its origins stretched far back, and it was ancient and mysterious.

Yet to this day, no one had ever successfully cultivated it.

Even Fifth-grade Supreme Realm experts like Dean Ta Cang were no exception.

They suspected that the Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture had been created by some peak Earthly Sovereign Realm expert, using the blood of the Four Directional Star Spirits, such as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird, to create a High-grade Divine Spiritual Art.

Among divine arts, it was unquestionably at the very pinnacle.

It was exceedingly difficult to cultivate, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Once one had grasped its basics, one could summon the Four Directional Star Spirits and unleash astonishing power.

"This is too absurd. I was still thinking of taking care of her, but who would've thought..."

Elder Zhu Tian trailed off, countless words eventually turning into a sigh.

For a monster like her, there was not even an opportunity to offer so-called special care.

At the deepest part of the Spirit Art Hall, Luo Li destroyed the guardian, who was merely at the Late Transforming Heaven Realm, in a single move.

Afterward, she opened the dark scroll.

Phantom images of the Four Directional Star Spirits appeared. Every beastly figure seemed lifelike, carrying terrifying, ferocious might that rushed straight at them.

Whether the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, or the others, all were exceptionally powerful beings in the Spirit Beast World, among the strongest of the Super Divine Beasts.

Even merely observing a trace of their divine essence could bring forth immense killing power.

"Not bad."

Luo Li nodded and put away the dark scroll.

This should have been the best divine art stored in the Spirit Art Hall's repository.

The more difficult it was to cultivate, the more it proved how powerful it was.

Even if she gave it to An Ran, An Ran would be able to cultivate it.

Zhao Chen also examined the Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture and reminded her, "The crucial secret of this divine art is to visualize the Four Directional Star Spirits, evolve a portion of their divine essence, and turn it into the source of power for one's attacks."

He would not have much trouble cultivating the Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture.

After all, he possessed the True Phoenix Art.

Using the True Phoenix Art to activate the Four Divine Star Lodge Scripture, Zhao Chen could greatly unleash the power of the Vermilion Bird Spirit within it.

However, Zhao Chen's focus was not on this divine art.

Rather...

"Sign in!"

He murmured inwardly, filled with anticipation.

[Ding! Signing in. Sign-in location—Spirit Art Hall. Sign-in successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sign-in reward—"Array Book"!]

Such a simple name gave Zhao Chen a very different feeling.

An extremely thick ancient book immediately appeared in his mind.

Ancient, obscure writing was etched upon its cover. Only after considerable effort deciphering it did he realize that it read: "Array Book."

The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched. Was he supposed to thoroughly master such a thick ancient book before he could become a Spirit Formation Grandmaster?

That would take a very long time!

He did not want to study!

"I'll endure it!"

Whether it was the Grass-Character Sword Art or the True Phoenix Art, Zhao Chen had worked extremely hard to master them.

There was no reason he could not handle spirit formations.

In the Great Thousand World, spirit formation masters held very high status.

Like alchemists and spiritual talisman masters, they were an exceptionally popular profession.

However, getting started and attaining deep proficiency was rather difficult.

This tested one's talent greatly!

If others learned it at a glance while you made no progress after striving for half a year, then you might as well wash up and go to sleep!
