Record of Ten Thousand Beasts, Nine Nether Bird

Northern Spirit Realm, Mu Territory.

In a courtyard, a handsome youth sat cross-legged atop a bluish stone, holding his breath and calming his mind. Several spirit seals shimmered faintly between his palms.

The youth was Mu Chen, son of Mu Feng, the Territory Lord of Mu Territory in the Northern Spirit Realm.

He had once been fortunate enough to be selected for the Spirit Road, but after single-handedly causing the "Spirit Road Blood Calamity," which resulted in far too many deaths, he had been expelled.

As a result, the youth lost an opportunity to enter one of the "Five Great Academies," causing many to sigh in regret.

The Great Thousand World was vast and boundless. The Northern Spirit Realm was merely a remote little place, and though the Territory Lord of Mu Territory appeared to command an entire territory, in the eyes of those true great figures, he was no different from an ant by the roadside.

For such small factions without ancient inheritances, sending their children to The Academy was a good choice.

The Northern Spirit Realm had nine territories. Apart from them, there was another force that could not be ignored: Northern Spirit Academy. Northern Spirit Academy held an exceptional status within the Northern Spirit Realm. Even the territory lords of the various territories could not afford to offend it.

They would send all their children of suitable age to Northern Spirit Academy to cultivate. Their greatest hope was that their children could obtain one of Northern Spirit Academy's quotas to cultivate at the "Five Great Academies."

Thus, being expelled from the Spirit Road and losing the chance to enter the "Five Great Academies" would have been an enormous blow to anyone else.

"Ah, why was Young Master expelled from the Spirit Road?"

"Shh... Don't talk about it.
