"I'm going to faint …" The man in cyan put his hand on his forehead, speechless. He looked as if he was about to be stunned by Lin Yi and the other two monsters. After a while, he asked as if he had seen a ghost, "East Continent is East Island. You don't even know that?"
"Huh? East Continent is East Island? " Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were also a little confused. No wonder this man was so surprised. Even the newcomers in the secular world who had just arrived at the Heaven-stage Island knew about the five major islands of Heaven-stage. If they didn't know about East Island, then it could only be explained by aliens. However, they still felt strange and asked, "Then why is it called East Continent?"
"You two are really weird if you don't even know this." The man in cyan couldn't help but laugh. But he was also a warm-hearted person, so he patiently explained to them. "The five major islands of Heaven-stage are East, West, South, South, and Central. This is just a common name. But actually, East Island and South Island are not islands, but East Continent and South Continent."
"Why is that?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. He had been on Heaven-stage Island for more than a year, but this was the first time he heard this. Even Huang Xiaotao, who was beside him, pricked up her ears curiously.
Speaking of which, Huang Xiaotao was a native of Heaven-stage Island, so she should know this common sense. However, she had always been in the north island. She was usually either cultivating or doing trial tasks. She rarely had any contact with other people, so she rarely had the opportunity to listen to others talk about this. Even she had never heard of the so-called East and South Continents.
"That's because the East Island and the South Island are both extremely large, far larger than the other three islands. Some people have roughly estimated that they are at least ten times larger than the other three islands. Therefore, the entire island is a large continent with a vast territory. It's divided into many regions, and the area of each region is comparable to the area of the other three islands, or even more than that." The man in green explained to the two of them as he sighed in admiration.
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao suddenly understood. These simple words completely overturned their previous understanding of the five major islands of Heaven-stage. They had thought that the situation of the other islands was similar to that of the north island, but they didn't expect it to be so different.
"Then you just said that East Island, oh no, East Continent's Yellow-Step Academy will come here to recruit students. What's that about? Why are so many people flocking to it? "Lin Yi continued to ask.
"Of course, the opportunity to study in the East Continent is the dream of all cultivators!" The azure-clothed man said with yearning and envy, "Many people think that the middle island is the center of the five heaven-stage islands, so the middle island is naturally the strongest. In fact, the strongest strength of the heaven-stage islands is in the Eastern Continent, where true experts are as common as clouds. If they can study in the academies of the Eastern Continent, even the core disciples of the top forces of the middle island can't wait for such an opportunity. It's not a place they can go whenever they want."
"I see, no wonder …" When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He had thought that East Island was just one of the four major sub-islands, but it turned out to be such a transcendent existence. It was really unexpected.
No wonder every time he talked to the ghost or Hong Zhong, every time he asked about East Island, he would smile mysteriously and say that he would tell him later. Now that he thought about it, it must be because he was too weak back then, and it would be useless to tell him, lest he bite off more than he could chew.
"East Continent's Yellow-Step Academy is recruiting students this time, and the Zhenduan Sea is their first stop. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. According to the experience of those people in the past, the difficulty of the first stop will be much lower, and it will be easier to pass the test. Otherwise, if they wait until the end and the academy is almost full, it will be very difficult." The green-clothed man was an honest man. Even in front of strangers like Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao, he didn't hide anything at all. He spilled everything he knew like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Then, what are the conditions for the Yellow-Step Academy to recruit students in the past?" Lin Yi asked.
"The first is aptitude! The second is strength! " Speaking of this, the azure-clothed man couldn't help but say excitedly, "Based on past experience, no matter how the recruitment conditions change, there are always these two. And one thing is for sure, the strength must be at least in the Gold Core Realm to sign up, or else don't even think about it. As for aptitude, it's more uncertain, and we can't see it ourselves, but they have professionals in this field, and they will use the Five Elements Stone to test …"
"At least in the Gold Core Realm?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. He and Huang Xiaotao were both experts in the early stage of the Gold Core Realm, and they could just meet this minimum threshold.
"Hey, this is just the nominal minimum threshold, a minimum registration condition. Look at the many people gathered in Zhenduan City now, and more than 80% of them are here for this opportunity. There are so many experts in the Gold Core Realm, and the Yellow-Step Academy has a limited number of places. If an expert in the early stage of the Gold Core Realm and an expert in the peak of the late stage of the Gold Core Realm stand together, who do you think they will choose? It must be the expert in the peak of the Gold Core Realm," the azure-clothed man analyzed as if he was an expert.
Lin Yi smiled noncommittally, somewhat disapproving of this. It was true that in the eyes of ordinary people, they would definitely choose the one with the higher strength, but since the academies in the East Continent were so aloof, how could their eyes be so bad?
Moreover, this person had just said that the first thing they valued was aptitude, and the second was strength. If the aptitude was not good, even if one was an expert in the peak of the late stage of the Gold Core Realm, so what? After being selected to go to the East Continent, if there was no progress from then on, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of their academy?
Not to mention the aptitude in other aspects, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were both experts in the Gold Core Realm who had a perfect breakthrough. Their aptitude and potential were absolutely top-notch in the Gold Core Realm, so in this aspect, they had a big advantage.
"Speaking of which, this time the enrollment of the Huangjie Academy in the East Continent is also very coincidental. It just happens to be the time when the miasma in Lufeng Forest dissipates. Therefore, this led to the gathering of practitioners in Zhenduan City this year, far more than in previous years at this time, which is why it is so crowded now." Then, the man in cyan then excitedly let his imagination run wild. "Hehe, if I can get some treasures of heaven and earth in Lufeng Forest this time and improve my strength, then I may participate in the preliminary test of the Huangjie Academy in the East Continent. Maybe I can be selected, and then I will soar!"
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and couldn't help smiling. This idea was really perfect. Presumably, so many people who came to Zhenduan City now more or less had this kind of fantasy.
Going to Lufeng Forest to get some treasures of heaven and earth to improve his strength, then preparing for the test of the Huangjie Academy in the East Continent, from then on, he would climb the Celestial Ladder and amaze the world with a brilliant feat. He was simply a winner in life.
