Everyone had to admit and accept this unbelievable fact.
That was their Primordial Holy Heaven, their only Saint Realm, their only pillar of stability, which fell in an instant...
Countless people grieved, countless faces showed sorrow, and countless people sobbed.
They didn't know whether the Primordial Holy Heaven, without the Saint Realm, would be able to retain its position as one of the Ten Great Saint Heavens in the near future.
Nobody knows.
It is something that everyone is well aware of.
This is very, very difficult...
Putting aside everything else, it remains to be seen whether the Primordial Holy Heaven can withstand the impending crisis from hostile forces.
Everyone knew the answer.
The Primordial Holy Heaven has stood in the Primordial Domain for countless years.
The number of forces that have been offended, suppressed, or destroyed is simply countless.
Some forces have long been completely wiped off the map of the Eastern Continent.
However, some forces have not been completely eradicated.
They hid in the shadows, preserving the embers of their power, constantly watching the actions of the Primordial Holy Heaven Primordial Holy Heaven, waiting only for an opportunity to launch a counterattack and destroy it.
Now that the old dean of the Primordial Holy Heaven has fallen, they have lost their only Saint Realm, and no new powerhouses have emerged. The time ahead will be the greatest opportunity for those hostile forces.
They certainly won't let it go easily.
Yes, everyone knows that perfectly well.
The Primordial Holy Heaven was strong.
Although the old dean Bai Wuya is no longer here, the head of the inner courtyard and the two vice deans are all Half-Saint level experts.
but...
The Saint Realm is the unshakable foundation, the cornerstone, and the unshakeable anchor of stability.
Without the Saint Realm, the people ultimately lacked the confidence to fight a desperate battle.
Half-Saint?
That sounds nice.
It's just that it's been given the title "sacred."
Half-Saint, Half-Saint, but ultimately not a saint.
Strictly speaking, it is still only at the Thearch Realm level... except that it has grasped a smattering of the Principle more than the ordinary Thearch Realm, barely touching the threshold.
Saint Realm experts are those who can truly comprehend the Principle and make them their own.
Therefore, although there is only a slight difference between the Saint Realm expert and Half-Saint, the Half-Saint latter.
Although things are relatively peaceful around the Primordial Holy Heaven, everyone knows the truth in their hearts.
This is merely the calm before the storm.
After Bai Wuya's fall, the entire Primordial Holy Heaven grieved.
Vice Dean Bai Wushang took over as acting head of the Primordial Holy Heaven, handling all its affairs.
However, he did not claim the title of dean for himself, but only declared that he would temporarily act as dean.
Regarding the new dean, none of the other vice deans or the dean himself had received any information. The only person who might know was Bai Wushang.
However, he simply worked diligently and silently as the acting dean, coordinating the affairs of the hospital, without revealing a single thing about the new dean to anyone else.
On the other side.
"Is it still... not working?"
Outside the secluded cultivation place of the Primordial Holy Heaven, a woman dressed in white slowly walked out, her tassels swaying, and a trace of loneliness and bitter smile appeared on her pale face.
Her aura also appeared slightly chaotic and listless.
She is none other than the Sacred Master Yunzhao, who has been in seclusion for a long time and has finally emerged from it.
only...
The chaotic state of her aura revealed that her attempt to break through to the Thearch Realm Eighth Stage during her seclusion had failed...
With a sigh, Sacred Master Yunzhao shook his head weakly and helplessly.
Although she knew that after reaching the Ancient Emperor Realm, each level of advancement would be extremely difficult and challenging, she still couldn't help but feel distressed when she realized she had failed.
Within the Primordial Holy Heaven, although there weren't many Ancient Emperor, there were still some.
Of course, among this group of Ancient Emperor, the vast majority were at the Thearch Realm Seventh Stage, and those who could break through to the Eighth Level of the Thearch Realm were extremely rare.
Once one advances to become a powerful figure at the Thearch Realm Eighth Stage, then even among the Ancient Emperor and saintly teachers of the entire Primordial Holy Heaven, one can be considered an outstanding individual.
After all, there are only a dozen or so Ancient Emperor at the Thearch Realm Ninth Stage in the entire Primordial Holy Heaven.
This time, Yunzhao made many preparations in order to break through to the Thearch Realm Eighth Stage.
Unfortunately, all the treasures and pills she had prepared were used up during this breakthrough, and the breakthrough itself failed.
The losses were considerable.
But there's no other way now that things have come to this.
Failure was inevitable, and Yunzhao was not the kind of person who would worry about such things.
She gently shook her head, banishing all the thoughts from her mind.
"I wonder how those kids fared in the courtyard while I was in seclusion, and whether they managed to get any decent rankings."
Thinking of his students, a gentle light flashed in Sacred Master Yunzhao's eyes.
Of her students, besides Situ Rong, she had the highest hopes for her third disciple, Cang Lie.
Cang Lie ranks third among his students. Although he has a bad temper, his talent is unparalleled. He may even challenge for the position of Ten Saints in the future.
I wonder what ranking he achieved in this year's inter-college competition...
Thinking this, Sacred Master Yunzhao waved his sleeve, brushed away non-existent dust from his body, and returned to the Supreme Institute.
Of her students, she had the highest hopes for her third disciple, Cang Lie. Although he ranked third among her students, his talent was unparalleled. In her opinion, he had the potential to become one of the Ten Saints in the future.
I wonder what ranking he achieved in this year's inter-college competition?
"Teacher! You're back!"
Chang Ling'er happened to be in the courtyard. When she saw Sacred Master Yunzhao, she was immediately delighted and hurriedly greeted him.
Sacred Master Yunzhao nodded gently to her and said with a smile, "Summon the others, come here."
Before long, all the other students gathered around, except for Lin Xuan.
Seeing this, Sacred Master Yunzhao waited a while longer, but Lin Xuan still did not appear.
She couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
But it did not flare up.
"Teacher, you've finally emerged from seclusion."
Having not seen Sacred Master Yunzhao for a long time, the disciples were all somewhat sentimental.
Sacred Master Yunzhao nodded slightly, smiled, and asked Cang Lie, "Did you achieve a good ranking in the academy competition this time?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Lie paused for a moment.
After a long while, under the puzzled gaze of Sacred Master Yunzhao, he slowly shook his head.
No.
"I... didn't get a place."
"Hmm?" Sacred Master Yunzhao was immediately surprised.
She thought to herself, "Impossible. No matter how I think about it, I can't believe that with Cang Lie's talent and strength, he wouldn't be able to get a ranking."
This is really...
She looked somewhat worried and sighed softly, but didn't dwell on the matter. Instead, she asked, "Where's Lin Xuan? Did he go out to train?"
As she spoke, Sacred Master Yunzhao was still thinking that perhaps Lin Xuan hadn't come because he wasn't there at all and had already gone out to train. Perhaps she had misunderstood him.
However, upon hearing the question, a strange expression flashed across the faces of the three people, and then they all shook their heads.
"No?" Sacred Master Yunzhao immediately became dissatisfied. "Since you're in the courtyard, why didn't you come?"
Chang Ling'er whispered, "The headmaster... is currently in seclusion."
