Chapter 92
Li Yaowan paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, if you run into your senior brother later..."
Li Yang was taken aback. "Senior brother?"
Li Yaowan coughed lightly and said, "I have an unfilial son named Li Qingchen. If you happen to meet him, please pass on a message for me."
Li Yang had no idea that Professor Li actually had a son.
She nodded and asked, "What message should I convey?"
Li Yaowan turned serious, and she roared, "I'll never speak to you again!"
Li Yang: "!"
Li Yaowan resumed her smiling demeanor and said, "That's all."
Li Yang: "... Okay, okay." She began to pray, hoping she would never run into this Senior Brother Li!
The day after the graduation party, the students from the Agronomy Department prepared to head to the Astral Realm.
Yu Hongyuan asked worriedly, "What will happen to the Agronomy Department if we all leave?"
Feng Yiqiao chuckled and said, "It's alright. Let's go to the Astral Realm to register first, check out the situation there, and then we can go back to the Agronomy Department."
Lü Shunshun also said, "I've already submitted my application to be a teaching assistant. After I register in the Astral Realm and complete my training mission, I can come back to be a teaching assistant."
Xia Putao nodded repeatedly, saying that she did too.
Ultimately, the trio of old farmers had limitations in their talents.
Even if they went to the Astral Realm, they might not have a longer-term future.
Just like this Divine Miracle journey, everyone else improved by several minor realms, but Feng Yiqiao only broke through to the Third Grade Realm. Lü Shunshun was a little better, but she was only at the Third Grade, Second Stage. Xia Putao was even worse, as her Eye Soul Value had already been caught up by Yu Hongyuan.
Feng Yiqiao remarked with a sigh, "Everyone's aptitude is getting better every year."
28 years ago, the Physique Points for admission to the Zhongdu Military Academy were much lower, unlike now where scores are often over 80.
If this were decades ago, Yu Hongyuan would have been considered Heavenly Chosen!
Li Yang respects the choices of her senior classmates.
However, she didn't say anything beforehand, but wanted to go to the Astral Realm first.
I don't know what the situation is with the Nature Pavilion, nor do I know if it has any Divine Soil.
If Li Yang is confident that she can protect her senior brothers and sisters in the Astral Realm, she very much hopes that they can continue to be together.
Of course, the Agronomy Department also needs people.
To Li Yang's surprise, it seemed that members of the Zhong Family, Lin Family, Ying Family, and Shen Family all wanted to study Agronomy Department.
Although they may not be top-tier Heavenly Chosen, they are all outstanding children with high talent.
They were clearly influenced by Zhong Kun, Lin Zhaoqin, and others, and felt that the Agronomy Department was also an excellent choice.
Li Yang actually welcomed this idea.
Until the person behind the scenes is completely brought down, the Agronomy Department will not admit ordinary students for the time being.
The main concern is that I'm afraid of harming them.
This is also easy to explain. After all, Si Kui is in seclusion, and the others have all gone to the Astral Realm. The Agronomy Department doesn't even have a single teaching assistant, so it's reasonable that they're not recruiting students for the time being.
As for those scions of prominent families, Li Yang would also explain the current situation of the Agronomy Department to them.
She wouldn't mention the people behind the scenes, only saying that there were no teaching assistants at the moment, and that their cultivation depended entirely on themselves. If they still wanted to stay, then they could stay.
Will the fact that the Agronomy Department only admits children from prominent families and not ordinary students draw criticism...?
Let them discuss it.
Li Yang was simply being unfairly labeled a snob; she didn't care.
To be precise, she wished she could put a label on her forehead, like Li Yaowan with a horizontal inscription: Money is my mother.
The students from the Agronomy Department set off for the Astral Realm, and surprisingly, He Song came to see them off.
Upon seeing He Song Li Yang's eyes lit up, and she called out, "Senior!"
When she first came into this world, the first person she met was He Song.
Unexpectedly, it was He Song led them on their journey to the Astral Realm.
He Song saw her, his eyes were full of relief. He said, "It was around this time last year that I saw you in Huangcheng."
Li Yang also reminisced, saying, "Yes, back then I was cutting down a mutated Four-Leaf Clover."
He Song: "I felt you were incredibly resilient back then."
He also read the report on the exploration of Divine Miracle. The most exciting part of Jiang Yuqing's report was undoubtedly the last part.
Jiang Yuqing focuses on how Li Yang persevered in his fight against the Divine Miracle Core.
That wasn't a confrontation with the Divine Miracle Core, but a confrontation with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Although He Song wasn't there, just from Jiang Yuqing's description, the scene of his first meeting with Li Yang already appeared in his mind.
That slender girl, as frail as a bamboo shoot that would break at the slightest touch, stubbornly wielded an iron axe and relentlessly hacked at the powerful Four-Leaf Clover.
Nobody believed in her, nobody thought she could do it, but she managed to take down the mutated Four-Leaf Clover with her amazing perseverance.
A year later, Li Yang's cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds. However, when facing the Divine Miracle Core that is attached to the Laws of Heaven and Earth... she is still that persistent girl. With her indomitable spirit, she breaks through the Divine Miracle Core!
He Song felt a surge of pride just thinking about it, and shouted, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Astral Realm!"
Returning to Huaxia from the Astral Realm is extremely difficult, requiring multiple checks and an entry permit issued by the Star Nexus Pavilion.
However, traveling from Huaxia to the Astral Realm is quite simple.
Once you pass through a Physique Points detection gate and meet the Physique Points requirements for the Third Grade Realm, you can easily pass through.
He Song didn't even lead them out of the campus. Instead, after passing through the Sun Square, they went through the campuses of the Pill Department and the Weapon Forging Department, and arrived at the back mountain of the Zhongdu Military Academy.
Zhong Kun and his group were clearly aware of this and were already eagerly anticipating it.
Li Yang and Yu Hongyuan were completely unaware of this.
Yu Hongyuan, in particular, asked curiously, "Does our school have a passage to the Astral Realm?"
He Song nodded. "Every military academy has them."
Yu Hongyuan didn't think too much about it, only that it was very convenient. Li Yang, however, understood the purpose of this arrangement.
This is not to facilitate students' entry into the Astral Realm after graduation, but to directly establish the military academy as a key defensive point for the Huaxia Realm Domain.
The easiest way for the Astral Realm beings to break through the Huaxia Realm Domain is to enter through the passage.
Some of the larger passages were heavily guarded, while the smaller passages were handled by military academies.
Every military academy within Huaxia's borders is the most powerful in terms of combat strength.
If there is indeed an extreme danger of the Astral Realm beings pressing in, then every military academy student will be a warrior guarding Huaxia!
The gate to the Astral Realm is very tall, more than 20 meters high. Standing below and looking up, it's like looking up at a tall building.
Li Yang couldn't help but gasp, saying, "It's truly magnificent!"
He Song led them over, saying, "Come this way."
Below the main gate are many smaller doors, each of which is a physical fitness testing device.
Once they step onto it, as long as their Physique Points exceeds 1000 points, they can enter the Astral Realm.
Only nine acupoints are opened in the first and second ranks, so once the Physique Points reaches 1000 points, one will inevitably reach the Third Grade Realm.
Yu Hongyuan was quite nervous when he entered, after all, he only had 1000 points and was afraid of being left behind.
"Name: Yu Hongyuan, meets the entry requirements." Yu Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly stepped inside.
Li Yang was the last one to go in.
After she stepped through the door, she found herself in emptiness once more, with only a long path beneath her feet, like a sky bridge suspended in the universe.
This scene is strikingly similar to the scene when they entered the Divine Miracle.
Li Yang clearly felt that he was leaving one world and entering another new world full of unknowns and dangers.
The outer reaches of the Astral Realm.
The Little Ox is reunited with its family.
His parents held him and cried their hearts out, and his older sister and younger brother were also terrified.
Fortunately, the whole family was safe and sound, and no one was injured.
Before Niu Er could even tell his parents about his amazing experience, he was confronted with devastating news.
Their plantations are gone!
Their home is gone!

Chapter 92
This long bridge spanning the void is actually quite wide.
However, because of the surrounding darkness, the long bridge appeared even thinner and longer, making it seem extremely dangerous.
Yu Hongyuan walked cautiously with every step, afraid that he would fall.
He Song explained, "Don't worry, we're fixed to the bridge; it'll be difficult for you to get down."
Yu Hongyuan was very curious. "I don't feel like I'm being fixed in one place."
He Song said with a smile, "You can step to the side and see if you fall."
Yu Hongyuan looked at the opaque black void and shook his head vigorously, "No, no."
Unexpectedly, He Song suddenly swayed to the side and fell headfirst into the void.
"Senior Brother He!" Yu Hongyuan shouted.
Li Yang felt a chill run down her spine, but she reacted quickly and grabbed He Song.
He Song bounced back as if he had hit a non-existent soft wall.
He looked at Li Yang and reassured her, "Don't worry, you really won't fall."
Li Yang let go, still feeling lingering fear.
He Song explained, "This passage was built with the blood and sweat of our predecessors. What we see is a narrow bridge, but it is actually a sturdy, enclosed passage. Think about it, if I could fall into the void from here, then the creatures of the void could easily enter the Astral Realm."
After his explanation, everyone understood.
Yu Hongyuan sighed and said, "Since it's a passageway, why make it so... visually striking?"
He Song pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it was the predecessors who initially established the passage who wanted to serve as a warning to everyone."
The predecessors who built these passages have either perished or are now supreme beings far beyond our reach.
Almost every Star Wielders steps into the passage is curious: why is it designed this way?
