Within the God Ascension Ruins.
Deaths are normal. Several days have passed since then, and since one of the soul tablets representing students from the various academies shattered at the Divine Miracle Academy, several others from the other academies have also shattered.
Basically, one student from each academy will be killed in action.
Even the strongest Cangxuan Academy and Divine Miracle Academy are no exception.
Of course, the Immortal Realm Academy and the Demon Realm Academy, which were relatively weaker overall, each had two soul tablets shattered.
However, what surprised everyone the most was that not a single soul tablet at the Azure Firmament Academy in the Mortal Realm was shattered!
It should be understood that, in everyone's perception...
The Mortal Realm academy is the weakest.
How much strength can an academy built in a place whose traditions were severed a million years ago possibly possess?
If it weren't for the Six Realms Academy Exchange and the Chaos Realm, each region would have a unique spot.
I doubt that even academies in the Mortal Realm are qualified to participate.
However, it is actually the Azure Firmament Academy in the Mortal Realm that is performing the best now...
Only the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Chaotic Spirit Academy know that the Mortal Realm today is not comparable to what it used to be. Although it was only recently established from ruins, Ye Qiubai and his group's strength alone has already surpassed that of the Mortal Realm in High Antiquity times in terms of high-level combat power.
"It seems the Mortal Realm has a good chance this time," the dean of the Immortal Realm Academy said with a smile as he approached Hong Ying.
The relationship between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm can now be described as that of brothers, and the Immortal Emperor also has a close relationship with them.
Vice Dean Lin of the Chaotic Spirit Academy glanced in the direction of the Divine Realm and Cangxuan Academy and said, "It doesn't mean anything yet. The participants from the Cangxuan Academy and the Devil Beast Academy this year are different from those in the past, not to mention the participants from the Divine Miracle Academy."
"Moreover, the Divine Miracle Academy has mobilized a much stronger force this year than in previous years, all for the sake of God Ascension Ruins."
Ning Chenxin asked from the side, "Senior, what exactly is the God Ascension Ruins?"
Vice Dean Lin waved his hand. "Judging by your position, you are one of the deans of the Azure Firmament Academy, so there's no need to call me senior... I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but the God Ascension Ruins are ultimately a piece of land carved out from the Mortal Realm, the Divine Realm, and the Underworld."
"It's pointless to simply carve out a useless area, so..."
Upon hearing this...
Hong Ying and Ning Chenxin were slightly taken aback. They exchanged a glance and could both see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"In other words, these three places may all contain divine artifacts from their respective regions..."
Both Hong Ying and Ning Chenxin had once recalled a deduction.
Why would the Divine Realm orchestrate a scheme to sever the lineage of the Mortal Realm?
Just like the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm was targeted because the Holy Devil Bloodline posed a threat to the Divine Realm.
Therefore, there must be some bloodline or divine object in the Mortal Realm that threatens the Divine Realm.
But there's still no progress.
Could it be...?
Is this the purpose of the Divine Miracle Academy increasing its manpower?
Immediately, Hong Ying arrived at a training room on the ship. As soon as she reached the door, a voice came from inside.
"What's up?"
Hong Ying said in a deep voice, "After our senior brother and the others come out, they may engage in a direct conflict with the Divine Realm."
Hong Ying was very confident in Ye Qiubai and his group.
If there are indeed divine artifacts from the Mortal Realm within the God Ascension Ruins, then Ye Qiubai and his companions will surely be able to obtain them.
The voice paused for a moment, then the sealed stone door opened, Hong Ying walked in, looking at Huang Qian sitting cross-legged in a magic array filled with Divine Phoenix Fire.
Huang Qian asked helplessly, "Have you gotten into trouble again?"
Hong Ying shook her head and said, "The ruins may contain things that the Mortal Realm once threatened the Divine Realm, so I'm afraid we'll need Huang Qian's help then."
Huang Qian was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly. "I understand. In that case, I will activate the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman Array ahead of schedule."
Clearly, Huang Qian, like Hong Ying, also had great confidence in Ye Qiubai and his group.
However, after they obtain the divine artifact, the beings of the Divine Realm will likely not allow them to leave so easily.
" Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman Array?" Hong Ying was taken aback.
Huang Qian smiled and said, "That brat Mu Fusheng did it."
At this point, Huang Qian couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Sometimes you really have to admire this kid's brain. Before arriving at the God Ascension Ruins, Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong used thousands of Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to construct a teleportation array dominated by Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman, capable of teleporting the entire ship out. Of course, your master also gave some guidance."
"This is to prevent any accidents, but there are too many runes in this grand formation, so I need to use a large amount of Immortal Qi to activate it."
Hearing this, Hong Ying laughed and said, " My Junior Brother Mu has always been very cautious. While others think three steps ahead for every one step they take, he thinks a hundred steps ahead for every one step he takes..."
"Hmm, I don't know how long it will take them, but I'll stay here to maintain the formation and keep it ready to be activated."
"Thank you for your hard work Huang Qian."
"It seems that this is what the Divine Realm desires. It's likely that this is the very thing in the Mortal Realm that the Divine Realm perceives as a threat."
Holding the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas, Ye Qiubai frowned as he hurried along.
Just now, Tan Zongzhao also repeated Vice Dean Lin's words to Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai naturally deduced this as well.
"Then, I'm afraid the students of the Divine Miracle Academy will target you, Brother Ye, and everyone who has obtained this fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Their goal is likely to obtain this item... or destroy it."
Tan Zongzhao said in a deep voice from the side.
"Yes, no matter what, this item must not fall into the hands of the Divine Realm."
Moreover, the words " Classic of Mountains and Seas" have also appeared in Master's mouth, so bringing them back might be of some help to Master.
After half a day of travel.
Following the clues, they arrived at the very center of the Human Realm.
When the group arrived, they found more than twenty people standing outside a stone pillar.
Ye Qiubai approached.
There are four Heaven-Reaching Stone here, which occupy the four cardinal directions and surround a square box made of ice crystals.
Inside the box lay something that looked like Painting Rod.
Generally, scrolls are used to roll up paintings using Painting Rod, the upper end of which is called the Heaven Rod and the lower end of which is called the Earth Rod.
But... if it's Painting Rod, why is there only one?
"Senior Brother!"
Suddenly, two voices from the side caught Ye Qiubai's attention.
Ye Qiubai turned his head and saw Xiao Shitou and Shi Sheng walking over quickly.
Just as Ye Qiubai was about to greet him, his brows furrowed. Shi Sheng was covered in blood. Although his injuries and aura had stabilized, he had clearly been through a fierce battle.
" Junior Brother Shi, what happened?"
Shi Sheng shook his head, then looked solemnly at a person on the other side whose entire body was enveloped in divine light, and said, "I fought him, and he took away something that looked like a tattered page."
