"From now on, I, Xing Jue, have the final say in the East Courtyard!"
A loud roar resounded through the square. At this moment, everyone in the square knew that the East Courtyard would belong to this young man!
And his name was Xing Jue!
But the most ironic thing was that Xing Jue had only been in the East Courtyard for less than a month!
This made the disciples who had been in the East Courtyard for years feel helpless. But they could only hide their helplessness in the bottom of their hearts.
Because in this world, only the strong were respected. No matter what identity, status, or age one had, in the face of absolute power, they were vulnerable!
But just as everyone was shocked by Xing Jue's strength and trembled while looking at the young man on the high platform …
Two old men stood on top of a tall building outside the square. However, at this moment, no one could detect their presence.
One of them was an old man. His white hair was as clean as snow, and he stood ramrod straight. His white beard and gray robes fluttered in the wind, making him look like an old immortal who had broken away from the mortal world. This was Elder Ouyang, who had decided to let the Punishment Execution Hall enter the East Courtyard.
The other one was a black-haired old man. He was also one of the elders who had been present during Xing Jue's assessment.
"To be able to practice Soft Fist successfully, he is really not simple!"
"Elder Ouyang, it seems that you made the right decision that day. This Xing Jue can indeed make the East Courtyard stronger and balance the four courtyards!"
"With proper training, his future achievements will be limitless. I'm afraid that the outstanding disciples in the Central Courtyard will be far inferior to him. Maybe he will become the successor of the Leader of the Everlasting Courtyard!"
The black-haired old man smiled at Elder Ouyang, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.
"The East Courtyard has never had any strong cultivators. Kong Wu has been in the East Courtyard for 20 years, and most of the disciples in the same period have entered the Central Courtyard or become elders."
"This shows how mediocre his aptitude is. Even if Xing Jue is only a beginner Shura Warrior, it is not surprising that he can defeat him!"
"Since we've taken control of the East Yard, it's time to show him the strength of the other yards!" Elder Ouyang's white beard fluttered in the wind. He was calm, as if everything was under his control!
"Elder Ouyang, what do you mean?" The black-haired elder was puzzled.
"In a few more days, it should be time to pick the immortal herbs in the natural garden, right?"
Elder Ouyang did not reply directly. Instead, he looked outside the Everlasting Court, deep within the mountain range that was shrouded in mist!
The news of Kong Wu's defeat and his right hand being crippled spread quickly in the East Courtyard. Even the other three courtyards had heard about it.
But in the eyes of the other three branches, this was not big news at all, because in their eyes, the East Branch had always been a weak existence, and they had never even considered the East Branch as a competitor.
Although the reactions of the other three branches were mediocre, it was a big deal for the East Branch.
After Kong Wu's defeat, the Martial Gang was disbanded, and the Dragon Group led by Xing Jue had become the true overlord of the East Branch. As a disciple of the East Branch, he had to reevaluate his attitude toward the Dragon Group.
But compared to the attitude of the crowd and how they viewed him and the Dragon Group, Xing Jue was more concerned about the injuries of Zhang Xing and the others.
As a Shura Warrior, his body had reached a new level, making him indestructible in battle. Even a Martial God Realm expert with an Upper Grade Spiritual Weapon could not defeat a Shura Warrior.
But there were two sides to every coin. Because his body was too strong, if he was seriously injured, even an Upper Grade Heaven-Ranked pill would not be able to help him.
If Zhang Xing and the others were to rest on their own, who knew how long it would take for them to fully recover.
This was a huge blow to Zhang Xing and the others, and it was also Xing Jue's biggest worry. Although they had known each other for a long time, Xing Jue had already treated them as his brothers.
But just as night fell, a black-haired old man arrived and changed the situation. This old man had brought with him a Spirit Medicine that could quickly heal everyone's injuries, an Immortal Grass!
"Thank you, Elder Wu, for saving us. The Immortal Grass is indeed extraordinary. It looks like everyone's injuries will be completely healed within ten days."
After personally feeding the Immortal Grass to Zhang Xing and the others, and seeing that their bodies were starting to recover, Xing Jue quickly returned to the pavilion in the courtyard to thank Elder Wu.
"Xing Jue, you don't need to thank me. They are all disciples of the Everlasting Institution. Since they are injured, it is only right that the Everlasting Institution provide medicine to treat them." Elder Wu smiled.
However, Xing Jue only smiled in response to Elder Wu's words. He had heard that the Everlasting Institution had always been stingy.
Apart from the central courtyard, there were many disciples from the other courtyards who were heavily injured. Even when they went to the Elder Institution to ask for medicine, they hadn't been able to obtain the Immortal Grass.
But today, Elder Wu had personally come to deliver the Immortal Grass. Xing Jue felt that there had to be a reason for this. Perhaps it had something to do with him.
"Xing Jue, there is actually another reason why I came here today."
"Please speak, Elder Wu."
"You've also seen the miraculous effects of the Immortal Grass. It is formed by absorbing the essence of Asura energy, so it is an extremely precious item!
"In other words, although the Immortal Grass can be found in other ancient mountain ranges, the chances are extremely low.
"So in order to let the disciples of the Everlasting Institution enjoy the miraculous effects of the Immortal Grass, the founder of the Everlasting Institution created a Natural Garden in this mountain range!
"There are a large number of Immortal Grass seeds scattered in the Natural Garden. Adding on a special barrier, the Asura energy is extremely dense, so every year a large number of Immortal Grass will grow.
"In another ten days, it will be the season for the Immortal Grass to ripen. So the Elders have decided that the East Institution will send fifty disciples to the Natural Garden to pick the Immortal Grass!" Elder Wu said with a smile.
"Only the disciples of the East Institution?" Xing Jue was a little surprised.
"Of course not. The disciples of the other three institutions will also go. Each institution will send fifty people. Furthermore, the Everlasting Institution will not make you work for free. There will be rewards for picking the Immortal Grass."
"Freshly picked Immortal Grass cannot be eaten. Only through special refinement and refinement can they be eaten and preserved for a long time. Only then will they have miraculous effects."
"Therefore, according to the number of Immortal Grass you pick, you will be rewarded with a complete refined Immortal Grass."
"Of course, among the four institutions, the institution that picks the most Immortal Grass will be rewarded with six bottles of Body Refining Essence!" Elder Wu explained with a smile.
"Body Refining Essence!!!"
After hearing these words, Xing Jue's eyes lit up. Ever since he entered the East Institution, he had heard a lot about the Body Refining Essence. It was a sacred medicine for cultivation.
It was said that cultivating with the Body Refining Essence could double the speed of cultivation. The effect of the Body Refining Essence was not something that a cultivation room could compare to.
Because of this, the Body Refining Essence was extremely precious. Even the disciples of the Central Institution of the Everlasting Institution could not enjoy it.
Because it was prepared for the top disciples of the Everlasting Institution. There were less than a hundred of these so-called top disciples, and they were the focus of the Everlasting Institution's training!
"Xing Jue, I will come to pick you up in ten days. But don't blame me for not reminding you. You must choose the strongest among the fifty people, because the Immortal Grass is not that easy to pick!"
Elder Wu reminded Xing Jue meaningfully. Then, he flew into the air and flew toward the depths of the Everlasting Institution.
After hearing Elder Wu's reminder, Xing Jue could feel that it was not as simple as it seemed. However, the strongest disciples of the East Institution were all in the Dragon Group, and the male disciples of the Dragon Group were all seriously injured. The selection of disciples could only be made after they had recovered.
In the following days, Xing Jue hid in the Cultivation Room and cultivated in seclusion. He wanted to break through to the Intermediate Asura Warrior before heading to the Nature Garden.
Xing Jue cultivated day and night. On the eighth day, he had accumulated enough Shura Power. However, he could not break through to the Intermediate Asura Warrior at all.
It was as if there was a thin membrane blocking him. It was as thin as a veil, but if he wanted to break through it, he would not only need to accumulate Shura Power, but also a higher level of comprehension.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Although Xing Jue was still unable to break through to the Intermediate Asura Warrior, Zhang Xing and the others had all recovered. He had to admit that the medicinal power of the immortal grass was indeed extraordinary.
On this day, under Elder Wu's lead, the East Institution's Dragon Group and 50 disciples, including Xing Jue, headed to the Nature Garden of the Everlasting Institution!
"That's the Central Institution? It's even bigger than the four Institutions put together! "
In the Everlasting Institution, the disciples of the Institutions were not allowed to fly in the air, let alone enter the other Institutions.
However, due to special reasons, they could all fly in the air. The entire Everlasting Institution finally appeared in front of Xing Jue.
The Everlasting Institution was huge. The East Institution was only a corner of the Everlasting Institution. The other Institutions were about the same size as the East Institution, but the Central Institution was ridiculously huge!
However, because of the special barrier, it was impossible to see the other Institutions and the disciples of the Central Institution from the sky. One could only vaguely see the buildings of the Institutions. Speaking of buildings, the Central Institution was naturally the tallest and most luxurious!
"The Central Institution is the core of the Everlasting Institution."
"The treatment that the disciples of the Central Institution can enjoy is not something that the disciples of the Institutions can imagine. I must enter the Central Institution in the future!"
"That's right, the Central Institution is my goal!"
Looking at the Central Institution that was located at the center of the Everlasting Institution, the members of the Dragon Group all had a look of yearning on their faces.
The mountain range that the Everlasting Institution was attached to was called the Everlasting Mountain Range. It was a majestic mountain range that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. However, with the speed of Xing Jue and the others, they soon arrived at the peak of the mountain range that was surrounded by clouds and mist.
"This is the Nature Garden?"
After landing, Xing Jue could sense with his sharp Soul Strength that this mountain range had an extremely strong suppressive force. The white clouds and mist that flowed on the mountain peak were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Of course, the Nature Garden was an important place of the Everlasting Institution. This place would definitely be sealed by a powerful barrier. There must be a reason why the Institutions' disciples were sent here to harvest the fruits.
