Chapter 80

"Well, your Nature Department also picked up quite a few hidden treasures back in the day."

She deliberately emphasized the word "pick up".

Those who know, know.

After saying what she needed to say, Niu Qianqian solemnly instructed, "Don't overthink it. Even if it's just about breaking through your cultivation level, it will be very beneficial. There are Astral Realm creatures there, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to break through two levels at once."

She then looked at Yu Hongyuan and said, "Of course, all of this is predicated on being alive."

Niu Qianqian wasn't too worried about Li Yang.

She didn't need to say much to her; Li Yang was definitely going to try to seize the Divine Miracle Core —or rather, to try to shut down the Divine Miracle.

Divine Miracle like these, located so close to the Huaxia Realm Domain, must be shut down as soon as possible; otherwise, they may breed even greater disasters in the long run.

And a promising player like Li Yang is undoubtedly one of the candidates to close the Divine Miracle.

Of course, this Divine Miracle journey was extremely difficult, and the students of the Zhongdu Military Academy should know that there are always people more capable than oneself, and that there is always something beyond one's understanding.

After Niu Qianqian left, the Department of the Agronomy Department held a lively discussion for a while.

Zhong Kun, Lin Zhaoqin, Ying Qi, and Wang Ruika each shared their own intelligence, and for a time, the Agronomy Department students' understanding of the Divine Miracle far surpassed that of some of the senior students.

The discussion was also in full swing on the forum.

The Huaxia Top 100 Rankings Military Academies is not dominated by the Zhongdu Military Academy and Star-Slaying Military Academy.

Among them are many outstanding military academy students from other provinces. They may have been a little short in the entrance exam, but after a few years, they may have had other opportunities and broken through to the Peak Second Grade Realm. In fact, their overall qualities are much stronger than those of the students from Central Capital.

In addition, there are some sects that do not pass down their lineage, but they also have their own disciples.

The Huaxia Realm Domain is vast.

Although the Star Nexus Pavilion manages most affairs, it also has a number of non-official staff.

In addition, some independent cultivators also made it into the Top 100 Rankings.

They may have had some extraordinary encounter, or they may be descendants of collateral branches who have broken away from the main family...

In short, wherever Starlight shines, there are Star Wielders.

The Huaxia Realm Domain were not yet clearly defined, but in the Astral Realm, they flourished even more.

There are even many beings that are half-human and half-planetary.

The term "half-human, half-star" refers to a child born from the union of a human and Astral Realm being.

However, most humans and Astral Realm beings are reproductively isolated, and only a very small number of the Astral Realm beings can give birth to offspring with human blood through extremely strange means.

However, these half-human, half-planet races generally do not identify themselves as Huaxia.

Many of them even harbor inexplicable hatred towards Huaxia people.

Several more days passed, Li Yang still hadn't received any news from Si Kui.

Zhong Kun and the others would occasionally bring her news.

The teacher is not in mortal danger, but needs to recuperate in seclusion.

This retreat may last longer.

Li Yang really wanted to see her teacher in person, but she knew it would be difficult.

If Si Kui could return to the Huaxia Realm Domain, she would probably have come back long ago.

Li Yang was still pondering whether to enter the Divine Miracle.

She's not stupid, and she won't let her guard down because of this victory.

The teacher killed Divine Venerable and destroyed the Descending Star Cult, but he did not find the mastermind behind it all.

After this battle, the person behind it all will only hide even deeper.

But his secrecy doesn't mean he's doing nothing.

He can no longer touch Si Kui, but perhaps he's just waiting for an opportunity to kill Li Yang.

It wasn't just because Li Yang was Si Kui's personal disciple, but also because of her identity as a Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer.

Who would least want to see the resurgence of the Nature Department?

This is undoubtedly the person behind it all.

The person behind this Divine Miracle journey will definitely be unable to contain themselves.

As the saying goes, when in doubt, Teacher Shen...

Li Yang was already calling out in her Spirit Sea: "Teacher Shen ~ Teacher Shen ~ Little Pear Blossom is calling for Teacher Shen ~"

Shen Binghua: "..." Damn it, Little Pear Blossom, do you have any shame?!

Chapter 80

Shen Binghua really didn't want to see Li Yang.

A while ago Li Yang was quiet and well-behaved, running between the Department of Agronomy Pill Department every day.

Apart from that, I won't go anywhere else.

When it comes to valuing life above all else, this brat has taken it to the extreme.

Who would have thought that Si Kui would do such a big thing?

When Shen Binghua heard the news, he jumped up from his chair and broke his pen in excitement!

Even though the slain Divine Venerable was just an ordinary Divine Venerable, not the Divine Exalt Daowu who reigned supreme over the Upper Three Realms, it still allowed the Huaxia Realm Domain, which had been stifled for 28 years, to finally hold its head high!

Just as Shen Binghua was feeling overjoyed, he learned of the Divine Miracle.

She immediately realized... trouble was brewing.

Sure enough, Li Yang found her.

Even if Shen Binghua didn't want to see her, he had no choice but to.

We can't let anything happen to this brat.

"Come to my office."

"That's not a good idea. The students in the Star Magic Department would be so upset to see me going in and out of your office."

"..."

Shen Binghua said irritably, "Wait for me in the east wing!"

Li Yang: "Okay!"

It wasn't that Li Yang was being lazy, nor was it that she genuinely cared about the fragile hearts of the Star Magic Department students; it was simply out of caution.

Better safe than sorry.

The east wing is the safest room. Even when the teacher is not there, there are various restrictions that are enough to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from spying on it.

It wasn't that she looked down on the restrictions in the Star Magic Department's office.

Rather, it's because the Star Magic Department has many people who talk a lot, and some of them simply won't be restricted at all.

Shen Binghua had also thought of this, which is why he came to the east wing.

Li Yang pretended to brew a pot of tea and said politely, "Teacher Shen, please try our Agronomy Department's specialty wheat tea."

Shen Binghua: "..." It doesn't sound good.

As the dean of the Star Magic Department, she would never look down on such trashy tea leaves.

"You want to go to the Divine Miracle?" she asked bluntly.

Li Yang said, "I'd like to hear Teacher Shen's advice."

Shen Binghua simply gave two words: "Don't go."

Li Yang didn't expect Shen Binghua to be so certain that she shouldn't go.

This Divine Miracle was definitely dangerous to carry out.

But what isn't dangerous?

There always has to be trade-offs.

"Why?" Li Yang wanted to hear Shen Binghua's thoughts and weigh the pros and cons.

Shen Binghua originally didn't want to say much, but considering that this brat in front of her was not one to listen to reason, she didn't want to be dragged down with her if she went and did something reckless.

"Dean Si is currently in seclusion for recuperation. Do you think the person behind this will let this opportunity pass?"

Li Yang said, "But Divine Miracle are limited to those who can enter the human realm."

This is also why Li Yang was moved.

Shen Binghua scoffed, "So what if there's a limit to your cultivation level? Can you take on ten opponents single-handedly?"

Li Yang had also thought about this, but she happened to have a new Star Skill — Vest Sister —that could come in handy.

Shen Binghua continued, "This Divine Miracle was on a very large scale, with at least 100 people entering. The composition of those entering was also very complex. The combined number of students from the Zhongdu Military Academy and Star-Slaying Military Academy was less than 40."

"Students at the Second Grade Realm in other provinces are not as naive as the students in Central Capital, not to mention those rogue cultivators."

"You can't tell friend from foe. If they surround and attack you, you won't even know how you died."

Leaving aside the inherent dangers of the Divine Miracle itself, the sheer number of people entering at the same time presents a wealth of uncontrollable factors.

Li Yang had also considered these factors, which is why she consulted with Shen Binghua.

Shen Binghua was too lazy to put in the effort; he just wanted a quick and easy solution.

She said, "I suggest none of you go, including Zhong Kun and Lin Zhaoqin. Once inside the Divine Miracle, no one will protect them. If they die inside, the Zhong Family and Lin Family will have no choice but to swallow their anger and resentment."

While powerful families do protect their scions, this protection is limited.

To grow, you have to face risks.

Children from prominent families are not hothouse flowers; on the contrary, they face a brutal process of survival of the fittest from a young age.

Those who can persevere are the best in the arena.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher, surely there won't be any high-ranking Star Wielders entering the Divine Miracle this time?"

Shen Binghua said, "Perhaps there are Star Wielders at the Peak Third Grade Realm who use some special secret techniques to disguise themselves as Peak Second Grade cultivators."

"The Third Grade Peak is the highest, right?"

"That's right," Shen Binghua added, "If they want to make a move, it won't just be a few people, but at least a ten-person squad."

Li Yang didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "I can break through realms multiple times within the Divine Miracle, right?"

Shen Binghua paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, as long as you can quickly fill your Star Aperture, you can break through to the next realm multiple times."

Her teeth ached as she said this.

This brat is indeed a rare genius.

Li Yang continued, "What percentage of the Astral Realm beings are Star Beast and Star Plant?"

Shen Binghua couldn't understand why she suddenly asked this question, but she still answered, "It's basically fifty-fifty."

"How much is the Divine Miracle Core worth?"

"It's in demand but not worth the price."

At this point, Shen Binghua understood perfectly well what Li Yang meant; she was determined to enter the Divine Miracle.

Li Yang was indeed confident that she could improve her cultivation level further. Even if Third Grade Realm cultivator were to infiltrate her, they might not be able to defeat her.

Furthermore, the Divine Miracle Core is indeed tempting.

Master -level treasures are extremely rare and hard to come by; anyone would want to try their luck with them.

However, Shen Binghua still had to tell her, "It's not just the people behind the scenes who want to target you; I suspect there are also remnants of the Descending Star Cult who want to take this opportunity to kill you."

Li Yang frowned. "Has the Descending Star Cult infiltrated this deeply?"

Shen Binghua said, "The lower realms are the best for brainwashing."
