Outside the Heavenly Dao Academy, the huge square that was comparable to a city was already packed with disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Following the command of the elder in charge, countless figures retreated like the tide.
"You juniors, leave quickly!"
Of course, there were also some disciples who wanted to bluff their way through. However, this wasn't the first time the Heavenly Dao Academy had organized this kind of competition, so they were already prepared for these possible situations. They immediately discovered these disciples and asked them to leave.
"Sigh, it's a pity that I'm only a Celestial Master. Otherwise …"
Seeing that there were less than one-tenth of the disciples left in the square, some disciples who had left sighed with reluctance.
The selection of inner court disciples was held once every three years. If they missed it, they would have to wait another three years.
Although cultivators had long lives, such as Celestial Kings and Immortal Emperors, they could easily cultivate in seclusion for 100 years. However, to disciples like them who had just entered the celestial sect, the gap between them and their peers in three years was too big.
Of course, not all disciples had the heart to compete.
Tsk, don't be wishful thinking. Which of those who could stand out in the competition weren't prodigies? With your and my aptitudes, we would only be cannon fodder if we went.
That was right. It wasn't like you didn't know that once the competition started, the Mystery Realm would be sealed. Even the dean and the others wouldn't be able to enter. When the time came, who would be able to stop the slaughter inside?
Without enough strength, they would only be meat on the chopping block inside.
…
The sounds of discussion outside the square were endless. Apart from this, there were even more topics about the rankings of the elites participating in the competition. In fact, there were even disciples who started to talk about the final spots.
The disciples outside the square were in a heated discussion, but the square was dead silent.
There were a total of 10 Celestial Kings, and they released powerful auras that enveloped the whole square.
In front of the square, the elders from the inner court were handing out cards to the participating disciples.
Behind them stood a greenish-gray door. The disciples who received their cards would enter the Mystery Realm of this competition after passing through the door.
With 10 Celestial Kings present, the disciples in the square were all silent. The speed at which the elders handed out the cards was also extremely fast.
After a short while, it was Liu Yang and the others' turn.
Eh, a peak Golden Immortal. To think that there would be such a seedling today. Not bad, not bad.
After the elder who was in charge of distributing the cards tested Liu Yang's strength, a smile appeared on his stern face.
Upon hearing his voice, several Immortal Kings nearby also cast their gazes over.
Under the gazes of several immortal kings, just their gazes alone contained a terrifying pressure.
However, when it landed on Liu Yang, it was like a gentle breeze, not giving him any pressure at all.
Seeing this, the Immortal Kings understood that Liu Yang's true strength was far beyond the peak of the Gold Immortal Realm.
However, after checking that there was no problem with Liu Yang's identity, the elder didn't say much and handed him an ancient token.
After entering the Secret Realm with this token, one would be randomly teleported to any location. Killing Demonic Beasts in the Secret Realm or plundering other people's token points.
Could he rob others of their token points as he pleased?
Hearing the rules, Liu Yang was slightly taken aback. He had originally thought that this was just an unspoken rule of the tournament, but he didn't expect it to be brought up in the open.
This meant that the Heavenly Dao Academy didn't object to disciples fighting each other in the secret realm.
Of course. The Heavenly Dao Academy wasn't a greenhouse for nurturing flowers. If one wanted to cultivate resources and enter the inner court, one had to rely on one's own strength. If one was robbed, it could only mean that one's strength was inferior.
However, one could rob, but one couldn't kill indiscriminately! Although we can't force our way into the Secret Realm during the tournament, you have to come out eventually, right? If someone really deliberately exterminated their fellow disciples, the academy will also settle the score!
After the elder finished speaking, he seemed to inadvertently reveal a trace of killing intent, startling a disciple who was about to take the token in front of him.
Liu Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He knew that the elder was reminding him of this. After all, with his strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a tiger in a flock of sheep after entering the Secret Realm. If evil thoughts were born, it would cause a huge disaster.
Liu Yang couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He had come to participate in this tournament in addition to obtaining a place to enter the inner court. He had other goals, so he didn't have the mood to care about others.
Of course, if someone blindly came to court death, Liu Yang didn't mind sending them on their way.
He put away the token and waited for Yun Lingtian and the others to receive their tokens before they stepped through the door.
Not long after, there were only a few disciples left in the square. The last disciple wearing a gray robe walked in front of the elder.
Early-stage Earth Immortal. Oh, your aura is a bit unstable. You should have just broken through not long ago. Go in and find a place to stabilize your cultivation.
As the elder spoke, he handed the token over. The disciple took the token and didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked through the door.
The instant that disciple stepped through the door, the Immortal Kings at the side seemed to have sensed something. They looked around but didn't find anything.
That aura just now …
An Immortal King murmured. Another Immortal King beside him nodded slightly and said solemnly. That's right, it was demonic aura. Some disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy had been infiltrated by the Devil Cultivation Academy, but they couldn't do anything.
The four great academies of the Southern Azure Continent were independent of each other, but they secretly infiltrated each other. This was no secret.
However, if Liu Yang was here and sensed that aura, he probably wouldn't be so optimistic.
At this moment, in the library of the Heavenly Dao Academy, an old man in green was reading a book. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
Heaven Devouring Demonic Tree, how dare you!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the book in his hand opened. Square ink characters left the paper and turned into golden scriptures that flew through the air toward the square outside the academy.
Boom!
The golden scriptures were extremely fast. They flew above the square in an instant and then blasted toward the door without stopping.
One step too slow!
The moment the golden scriptures landed, the door had already closed.
Bang!
It was as if a scorching sun had exploded in the square. Resplendent golden light exploded and scattered, carrying destructive fluctuations that spread in all directions.
Not good!
The Immortal King closest to the door bore the brunt of the impact. Majestic power seeped out of his body, but as soon as it came into contact with the destructive fluctuations, it was annihilated.
A sense of death descended, causing the Immortal King's pupils to constrict.
In the next instant, a hint of struggle flashed across his face, and then it became resolute.
You guys go!
The Immortal King shouted. Instead of retreating, he advanced. The Immortal King source energy in his body surged out as if it was free. He actually wanted to use his body to suppress that fluctuation.
The few people behind wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Seeing that an Immortal King was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. He flipped his palm and pressed down, forcefully dispersing that destructive fluctuation.
Patriarch, just now …
Outside the door, the Immortal King raised his head and looked at the old man in green who was suppressing the destructive fluctuations. Just as he was about to say something, the old man waved his hand, telling him not to ask anymore.
At the same time, in the secret realm, the gray-robed disciple who was the last to enter turned around and glanced at the slowly closing door behind him. A cruel smile appeared on his face. After I devour this secret realm, I won't have to be afraid of that old man from the Heavenly Dao Academy anymore. Hehe! Add.
