Upon hearing the white-haired old man's words, Lin Tian was slightly moved. That special ancient path could only be entered after 500 years?
He paused slightly, but didn't ask any more questions. Since the old man before him said that he could enter after 500 years, then there was no need for him to ask any more questions. After 500 years, he could directly step onto that special ancient path.
However, waiting for 500 years was still a little long, and he still felt slightly helpless about it.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Junior understands."
He said to the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man nodded with a smile, and with a wave of his right hand, four ancient tokens glittering with golden light appeared. Each ancient token was inscribed with the ancient words "Emperor", and they fell into the hands of Lin Tian, An Shuishui, Bai Ziqi, and Ling Yun respectively. "Within a year, enter the Lord Theological Seminary with this Emperor Token. If you don't enter within a year, then this token will be invalid."
Lin Tian naturally understood that the old man meant that if they didn't enter the imperial courtyard within a year, then this ancient token would lose its effect, and they wouldn't be able to enter the Lord Theological Seminary. He said, "Alright, junior understands."
The white-haired old man smiled, and paused for a moment before he said, "Before you enter the imperial courtyard, I'll briefly explain some things to you. Within the imperial courtyard, academy disciples are prohibited from killing each other, and at the same time, the academy will provide protection to all disciples. Even if you have great enemies in the Celestial Realm, as long as you're within the imperial courtyard, you don't have to worry about anything. Conversely, as long as you leave the imperial courtyard, no matter if you're killed by academy disciples or by others, the imperial courtyard won't interfere. "
Lin Tian and the others nodded. This could be considered a rule of the Lord Theological Seminary. It was simple, direct, and easy to understand.
"Then, senior, within the Lord Theological Seminary, what will happen if a relatively weak imperial courtyard disciple is killed by an extremely heaven-defying monstrous disciple?"
Lin Tian asked.
The world of cultivation was a cruel place. Many sects had rules that forbade disciples from killing each other. However, these rules only applied to ordinary disciples. They were ineffective against powerful disciples. If a monster-level powerful disciple killed a relatively weak fellow disciple, the sect would not pursue the matter. After all, a sect would not punish a monster-level genius disciple for a relatively weak disciple.
The white-haired old man clearly knew what Lin Tian was thinking. He smiled and said, "As long as you're in the imperial courtyard, all disciples are treated equally. Even if it's the first on the Ranking of Hundred Immortals, if you kill another disciple of the imperial courtyard, you'll be punished severely."
Lin Tian nodded. He did not doubt the white-haired old man's words. It seemed that the Lord Theological Seminary was very strict when it came to the "rules of the academy".
Soon after, he thought of something and asked, "The young Nine Heavens Supreme who's ranked first on the Ranking of Hundred Immortals will also enter the imperial courtyard?"
"Yes." The white-haired old man smiled faintly and said, "The people on the Ranking of Hundred Immortals have always been invited by the imperial courtyard."
Lin Tian understood. In other words, all the people on the Ranking of Hundred Immortals would enter the Lord Theological Seminary in the future.
This made his eyes gleam. If all the young Nine Heavens Supreme on the Ranking of Hundred Immortals were gathered in the Lord Theological Seminary, then the Lord Theological Seminary was really a terrifying place. The real elites of the Immortal Realm and the surrounding macro worlds would all gather in the imperial courtyard.
Bai Ziqi's eyes also gleamed. Obviously, he was looking forward to the gathering of the Lord Theological Seminary.
"I've said almost everything that needs to be said. Remember, within a year, enter the Lord Theological Seminary with the Emperor's Token."
The white-haired old man smiled.
"Yes, senior!"
Lin Tian nodded seriously.
The white-haired old man smiled faintly. In the next moment, he disappeared like air.
"This old man doesn't have any aura when he moves. It's really scary," Wuxing Crocodile said.
An Shuishui nodded and agreed. He said, "After all, he's the senior management of the Lord Theological Seminary. Those people are extremely terrifying. Even the top inheritances in the Twelve Immortal Continents dare not provoke the senior management of the Lord Theological Seminary."
Lin Tian didn't feel anything. He put the Emperor's Token in his body and said, "There's still a year's time. Let's go to the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect of Tai Ning Prefecture to see Yueyue, then go to the Lord Theological Seminary."
Of course, the group had no objections. The space passage opened by the Little Taichu hadn't disappeared. Immediately, the four people and three beasts stepped into the space passage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Darkness shrouded their vision in an instant. In the next moment, a new light appeared in front of them. The group was shocked out of the space passage by a strong force and stepped on solid ground again.
As far as the eye could see, the mountains were connected to each other. They were all very majestic, but they were far inferior to the Liangwang Prefecture.
"This is the Tai Ning Prefecture?"
Ling Yun asked.
Lin Tian nodded and looked around. Then, he called the group and went straight to the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect.
The group was very fast. It didn't take long for them to arrive outside the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect.
The Purple Carefree Treasure Sect was located in a group of immortal mountains. There were many palaces. When the group arrived outside the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect, it was very quiet.
"Why is there no one guarding the gate? In the past, there were disciples who took turns guarding the gate. "
Wuxing Crocodile was a little curious.
Lin Tian was also a little puzzled. Then, his eyes moved slightly and looked at the center of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect. There, there was a whiff of blood.
Bai Ziqi and the others also smelled the blood. An Shuishui frowned and said, "Something bad happened?"
Lin Tian looked at the center of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect and said, "Let's go."
He called Bai Ziqi, Ling Yun, and An Shuishui and the others to go directly to the center of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect.
…
At the center of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect, there was a huge square with many people. All the disciples of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect were here. There were many corpses on the square. There were corpses of ordinary Purple Carefree Treasure Sect disciples and even the corpses of Purple Carefree Treasure Sect elders who were at the Golden Immortal realm.
"Ning Ziwei, don't struggle. Submit to the Tai Celestial Treasure Sect obediently and submit to us. Otherwise, your Purple Carefree Treasure Sect will become the dust of history."
A purple-robed old man said. There was a faint Heavenly Immortal Qi around his body. His cultivation was at the Half-Step Heavenly Immortal Realm.
There were eight other middle-aged men beside him. All of them were at the Half-Step Mystic Immortal Realm. They looked coldly at all the disciples of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect in the square.
"Don't even think about it!"
On the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect's side, a green-robed old man had blood stains on the corner of his mouth. He was the current Patriarch of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect. He was severely injured. After spitting out those two words, it seemed to have affected his injuries. He immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood essence.
"Grandfather." Beside the old man, Ning Yueyue in a green dress was supporting him. Her body was also stained with blood. Apparently, she was seriously injured. She supported the old man with worry in her eyes. Then, she glared at the purple-robed old man and said, "We will not submit to you even if all of us die. Give up!"
How could the sect that had been passed down by their ancestors submit to others and be controlled by others? How could they give it up? That would be unfilial.
There was another woman beside Ning Yueyue who was supporting the Patriarch of the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect. She was Hai Jingyao, a friend of Ning Yueyue's in the sea region. At this moment, she was also determined. Apparently, she was prepared to live and die with the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect.
"Since you don't appreciate the opportunity given to you, don't blame me for being merciless!" The purple-robed old man's expression was indifferent. He was the current Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect. He directly ordered the other eight middle-aged men beside him, "Those who are unwilling to submit to the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect, regardless of whether they are high-ranking or ordinary disciples, kill them all. Even if there is only an empty Purple Carefree Treasure Sect left in the end, we will take it into the hands of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect."
The current Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect had broken through to the Half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm not long ago. In this small Tai Ning Province, such a realm was definitely an emperor-like existence. He had even surpassed the founding Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect. This powerful strength naturally gave rise to ambition. After reaching the Half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm, the current Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect immediately decided to unify the Tai Ning Province and put all the forces in the Tai Ning Province under the rule of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect.
Now, five of the ten most powerful sects in the Tai Ning Province had submitted to the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect. This was because the Patriarch of the Half-step Heavenly Immortal Treasure Sect was too powerful. No one in the Tai Ning Province could compete with him and no one dared to go against his will.
The submission of the Five Great Treasure Sects made the current generation's Grand Ancestor and the eight Grand Elders of the Immortal Treasure Sect in high spirits and complacent. They firmly believed that the other Nine Great Treasure Sects and the other powers in the Tranquil Province would all submit to them obediently, without a doubt. However, after arriving at the Purple Carefree Treasure Sect, the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect bluntly refused to submit. This made the Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect and the eight middle-aged Patriarchs of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect very unhappy. They directly killed many disciples and elders of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect to establish their prestige and force the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect to submit.
However, even so, the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect still refused to submit. This made the Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect and the eight Patriarchs of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect even more unhappy. Their eyes became very cold.
"Do it! Those who are unwilling to submit, kill them all and hang their corpses outside the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect. Let the other forces see what will happen if they don't submit to our Tai Immortal Treasure Sect later! At the same time, let the five sects who chose to submit to us understand how wise their choice was. "
The Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect said coldly.
After saying that, he didn't move because the killing formation of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect had been destroyed by him. The only Profound Immortal expert in the sect, the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect, was severely injured by him. The rest of the higher-ups were also injured by him. The entire Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect had no power to resist. The eight Patriarchs of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect were enough to deal with everything.
The eight Patriarchs of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect moved. They closed in on the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect and the higher-ups with cruel killing intent.
For a moment, the Patriarch of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect and the other higher-ups of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect had a very ugly expression. They were severely injured now and didn't have any power to resist. They couldn't stop the eight Patriarchs of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect at all.
"Don't be complacent! You've destroyed us now. In the future, you won't have a good ending! " Ning Yueyue glared at the Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect and the other middle-aged Patriarchs. "Brother Lin Tian is still in our Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect. When he finds out what you've done in the future, he won't let you go! Absolutely not! "
A middle-aged Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect had a cold expression. "Brother Lin Tian? You're from the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect? You won't let us go after you find out? What a joke! " This person's expression was indifferent and had a ruthless sarcasm. "Your grandfather, the strongest person in the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect, couldn't stop us. Who is this Lin Tian you're talking about? What can he do? "
"I can kill all of you."
A calm voice suddenly sounded. Then, a golden sword light pierced through the chest of the Patriarch of the Tai Immortal Treasure Sect who spoke. It directly shattered his body and destroyed his Divine Soul.
Not far away, Lin Tian appeared with Bai Ziqi and the others. In the blink of an eye, they stepped into the square of the Purple Heaven Immortal Treasure Sect.
