The people from the Nine Emperors Immortal State snorted coldly but didn't reply. These thousands of people were all demon-level geniuses at the peak of immortal-foundation. None of them were mediocre. Who among them wasn't proud and arrogant?
It was just that there were some who expressed their pride in their words, but there were even more geniuses who chose to remain silent. Among them, there were no lack of outstanding geniuses who could shake an entire region. They merely watched calmly as everything happened.
Finally, the examination of the thousands of experts ended. The Shadow on the towering platform glanced at them and spoke, "You guys can be considered to have temporarily passed the examination. Step into the passageway leading to the Sacred Academy first."
As the sound of his voice faded, he waved the scepter in his hand. A moment later, a strange runic light enveloped these experts, causing the hearts of countless to tremble. Although these people were all very outstanding, they wouldn't have dared to step out. But even so, they didn't expect that all of them would pass the examination. Seems like the Shadow Shadow on the towering platform had his own plans. He wanted those who were more confident to step out first so that he wouldn't have a hard time selecting them later on.
With a wave of his hand, a space appeared before them. He then spoke, "Those who wish to enter the Sacred Academy, please step into this space and release your astral souls, immortal-foundations and bloodlines. Those who are selected by me will enter the Sacred Academy. For those who are not selected, please step back and give up your positions. We can begin now."
As the sound of his voice faded, numerous figures flashed out, appearing before them. For a period of time, many experts all released their astral souls, immortal-foundations and bloodlines, simply dazzling the eyes of those who saw it.
When Qin Wentian saw this scene, he exchanged mutual glances with the people around him. Before this, he had already selected them meticulously. But now that there were so many of them, he only needed a single glance to select them. Most probably, this could only be considered a rough selection. In fact, there might even be some who missed out. After all, there were simply too many people. However, he had allowed them to take the initiative to step out earlier because he wanted to give those with outstanding talent a chance.
"Let's go in first, they naturally know what to do." Qin Wentian, Qing 'er, Namhwang Yunxi, and the others stood together. They each took a glance at the people from the Immortal Qianbian Gate, the Evergreen Kingdom, and the Namhwang Clan, and then walked toward the entrance of the Sacred Academy. As for the others, it was up to them.
One figure after another walked out, heading towards the Sacred Academy. Their bodies were all shrouded in a mysterious light as they stepped through the entrance of the Sacred Academy. Qin Wentian watched as the figures entered. At this moment, he had a strange feeling. It was as though this step was like stepping through a gate to the void.
He took a step forward, and in an instant, the scenery around him changed. Qin Wentian looked at everything before him, and his heart was in turmoil.
"It's rumored that this hidden space of the Tiandao Sacred Academy is a Sumeru World. Seems like it's true," Jun Mengchen said. A gust of wind blew past, blowing on their bodies, causing their clothes to flutter.
At this moment, thousands of figures appeared on the shore. In front of them was a vast and boundless sea. There seemed to be a mysterious aura in this sea, as though it contained immortal might.
There was no end to this sea, as though it was boundless. At this moment, no one knew where this sea led to.
Splashing sounds rang out. On the surface of the sea in front of them, starlight flashed. A Shadow condensed, standing in the air above the sea, staring at the crowd.
"This sea is known as the Immortal Sea, and also known as the Dao Sea. All of you came to the Tiandao Sacred Academy to seek immortality and seek the Dao. You have to cross the Immortal Sea. If you cannot cross it, you will forever be floating in the Immortal Sea." That figure slowly spoke. "The Immortal Sea is boundless, if you wish to cross it, you will have to display your innate techniques. Everyone, please wait for the people behind you, we will cross the Immortal Sea together."
Everyone nodded as they stared ahead. The words of the other party were filled with profoundness that was hard to comprehend. They had no idea what he meant. Since the Immortal Sea was boundless, how could they cross it?
Behind them, more and more experts appeared. These were all immortal-foundation experts who entered the Immortal Sea later on. As time flowed by, the number of people gradually increased. In fact, there were already over 20,000 people.
"There are still more people entering?" Everyone had bewildered looks on their faces as they stared at the Immortal Sea. After that, they suddenly realized something. Seems like when that immortal said that the Tiandao Sacred Academy would accept 20,000 disciples, there were actually more than 20,000 people who entered.
If they wanted to enter the Sacred Academy, they still had to cross the Immortal Sea. At this moment, they still couldn't be considered to have entered the Sacred Academy. This Immortal Sea was also a test.
The number of people who entered gradually decreased. The immortal-foundation experts stood by the shore with solemn expressions as they stared into the distance. They weren't ordinary geniuses and had strong willpower. Hence, they weren't impatient.
Time flowed by, the number of people increased but the number of people who entered also gradually decreased. Until a very long time, no one stepped into the Immortal Sea.
On the surface of the Immortal Sea, that Immortal Shadow repeated what he said earlier. After that, he added, "The Immortal Sea is boundless, everyone has to display their innate techniques when crossing the Immortal Sea. Don't travel together. The paths of crossing the Immortal Sea are different, you will all be sent to different locations of the Sacred Academy."
"The first 20,000 who cross the Immortal Sea can enter the Sacred Academy. After that, the others will be sent out. If there aren't 20,000 people within a hundred years, those who didn't succeed will be sent out as well." That Immortal Shadow continued. After that, he pinched his fingers as a lone boat appeared on the surface of the Immortal Sea. With a step, he landed on the boat and vanished from sight.
"Traversing the Immortal Sea, seeking the Dao." Everyone stared at the Immortal Sea ahead. The Immortal Sea was also known as the Dao Sea. How would one enter the other shore?
Immortal energy gushed forth from the experts as they transformed into small boats. After that, they stepped onto the boats and flew forward.
Beside Qin Wentian, Qing'er turned her gaze over, staring at Qin Wentian.
"Seeking the Dao in the Immortal Sea, each county has their own innate techniques and everyone's circumstances are different. From what that Immortal Shadow said, it seems that because of the different paths of crossing the Immortal Sea, we will be sent to different locations of the Sacred Academy. Maybe, the locations might be the most suitable for one's self. Qing'er, we might be separated during the journey. If that's the case, let's meet again in the Sacred Academy." Qin Wentian stared at Qing'er as he spoke in a gentle voice.
"Mhm." Qing'er nodded. Heading to the Sacred Academy was to raise her strength. For matters of the heart, she would temporarily put them aside.
Before this, the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom was pressuring the Evergreen Kingdom. This matter caused them to be extremely tempted. Now that the legendary Tiandao Sacred Academy had appeared, they naturally had to seize this opportunity.
"However, we might be able to stay together forever." Qin Wentian smiled. After that, immortal light radiated from him as a small boat appeared before them. He stepped onto the boat and stared at the experts before him as he spoke, "Let's move out."
Everyone respectively used their immortal energy to form small boats as they stepped onto the boat, heading towards the Immortal Sea.
At this moment, on the Immortal Sea, tens of thousands of boats set off, heading towards the boundlessly vast Immortal Sea.
Several days later, everyone entered the boundlessly vast Immortal Sea. To their shock, they discovered that this Immortal Sea had its own set of laws. A law energy akin to the Great Dao enveloped each and every one of them, it was incomparably profound and difficult to comprehend. They only felt that this Immortal Sea was extremely troublesome.
Another few months passed, everyone had long entered the depths of the Immortal Sea. The vast army had also split up, only those who were familiar with each other stayed together. All of them were searching for their own paths, heading towards the other shore of the Immortal Sea.
"The Immortal Sea is boundless, there's no end to it. How do we cross it?" Nanfeng Yunxi mumbled in a low voice. She steered the boat and sped through the air. Beside her, Qin Wentian and the others were all there. However, they felt as though they had sunk into a boundless immortal sea. They couldn't see the other shore at all.
This Immortal Sea truly had no end. It wasn't just empty words.
"Our speed is already very fast but we still can't see the end. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the other shore if we continue like this. This Immortal Sea is extremely profound. We have to carefully comprehend the words of that person earlier." Jun Mengchen also sensed this. Not only him, everyone else felt this as well. However, the simplest method was to continue forward, all the way to the other shore. They had to give it a try no matter what. But after trying, they discovered that this path wasn't easy to traverse.
"There should really be no end to the Immortal Sea. Maybe, we need to comprehend it ourselves before we can exit." Nanfeng Shengge stood not far away from Namhwang Yunxi. Her personality was humble and was even more intelligent compared to the other holy maidens of Namhwang Yunxi. Namhwang Yunxi treated her like a sister and trusted her very much.
"I think so too." Qin Wentian nodded, agreeing with Nanfeng Shengge's words. He then continued, "Maybe, we should properly comprehend the laws of this Immortal Sea."
"But, we have no clue at all. How should we comprehend it?" Jun Mengchen scratched his head. "How troublesome. I wonder who came up with this rotten idea. Why don't we just fight to our heart's content?"
"Mengchen, you have to temper your personality. I feel that this Immortal Sea is extremely suitable for you. You have to guard against arrogance and rashness, don't fail miserably. If you are ranked below 20,000, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the Sacred Academy." Qin Wentian reminded.
"Mhm, those who can enter the Immortal Sea are all extraordinary characters. Even if their talent isn't comparable to you guys, they wouldn't be mediocre. They are the most outstanding geniuses in the immortal realms. You have to be careful." Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a light voice.
Qin Wentian saw Qing'er in contemplation. He couldn't help but to ask, "Qing'er, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that ever since we entered the Immortal Sea, we have always been together, taking care of each other and advancing together. We didn't have any time to calm our hearts." Qing'er's melodious voice rang out. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, he shook his head and smiled, "Qing'er is right. Maybe, to comprehend the dao in the immortal sea, one must have no distractions in their heart. Maybe, it's really time for us to separate."
"What if we are all wrong? What if the true shore of the immortal sea is to continue moving forward?" Jun Mengchen asked.
"Whatever you think in your heart, just do it. If you fail, you have to start all over again." Qin Wentian spoke to Jun Mengchen, his words causing everyone to be in contemplation. Qin Wentian's words weren't without logic.
"Let us meet again in the Sacred Academy." Qin Wentian smiled. The boat he was on soared into the distance. His eyes turned to Qing'er only to see Qing'er nodding her head lightly to him before flying in another direction as well.
"As expected of lovers." Jun Mengchen mumbled.
"Bao Bao is leaving as well." Even Little Rascal was on his own boat. He controlled the boat and flew towards a certain direction. His snow-white body leaped to the front of the boat and stretched out his head, appearing extremely adorable. He allowed the boat to float freely, drifting with the wind.
After that, Namhwang Yunxi, Nanfeng Shengge and the others also departed.
"Sis Qingxuan, Hua Taixu, you guys …" Before the sound of Jun Mengchen's voice faded, he already saw Zi Qingxuan and Hua Taixu also departing alone. Hua Taixu's white robes fluttered in the wind, Zi Qingxuan didn't even turn her head back, leaving him alone. He involuntarily inclined his head and stared at the sky. After that, a moment later, he directly collapsed onto the boat as he let out a long sigh. Seems like he would have to spend a lonely time in the immortal sea. This damnable Sacred Academy, where was it exactly?!
