Skyspan Academy
There was no mistaking this description. Only with a crystal card could you live in the God Realm. Without one, you were unregistered.
If this wasn't an ID card, what else could it be?
Ye Zichen also tried to destroy the crystal card. With his abilities, it wasn't hard for him to split mountains, but it was completely useless against the crystal card.
"I'll take good care of it."
Ye Zichen put the card away, then asked, "What's this Skyspan Academy you mentioned?
What's this' Skyspan Academy 'you were talking about? "
"Skyspan Academy was established by the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence. Its purpose was …. To reduce the death rate of ascenders," replied Huang Yang.
"Death rate?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"That's right." Huang Yang nodded. "Ordinary ascenders are early-stage earth supremes. In the Lower Lands, they're considered the strongest, but on the Divine Mountains, they're the weakest. In truth, the situation on the Divine Mountains isn't as good as outsiders think. Roughly seventy percent of ascenders die. "
Seventy percent.
That meant that out of a hundred ascenders, seventy would die. That wasn't a low death rate.
"Ordinary ascenders only have a superficial understanding of the Divine Mountains, and they don't know the first thing about using divine power. That's why, in order to reduce the death rate and to systematically teach them how to use divine power, the Divine Mountains established academies to teach them. "
"That's quite humane." Ye Zichen couldn't help but nod.
It was just like when he'd first arrived in the Lower Lands. At the time, he really didn't know anything. He'd only survived because he was strong enough to crush everyone there.
But the Divine Mountains were different. Sky supremes were everywhere, and diviners and rulers weren't rare.
There were far too many people capable of crushing him to death, and he'd offended quite a few of them.
When he ascended, he'd considered going to the Sea of Innocence. If push came to shove, he could just shamelessly ask Little Honghong or the Wish God for help. Although that would be a bit embarrassing, at least he'd be able to keep his life.
But now that Skyspan Academy existed, he didn't have to embarrass himself.
"Then can you tell me how I can get into Skyspan Academy?"
"Next month is Skyspan Academy's enrollment day. Brother Ye, all you need to do is show this crystal card and you'll be accepted. The normal length of schooling is five years. After passing the final examination, you can choose to extend your schooling in the academy. Of course, you will have to pay a certain fee. "
With that, Huang Yang took out a jade tablet and handed it to Ye Zichen.
He poured his divine power into the slip, and a map of the Northern Divine Mountain appeared. Each of the mountain's eighty-six cities was clearly marked. In the center of the countless cities was a red dot. That was probably the Skyspan Academy they'd been talking about.
There was also a region marked in the upper left corner of the map: the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence. That was where Honghong and the Wish God lived.
Ye Zichen memorized their approximate locations, then returned the jade slip.
"Brother Ye, you don't have to give it back to me. Anyone who ascends to the Sacred Mountain will be given a simple map of the Sacred Mountain." Huang Yang smiled and pushed the jade scroll back.
"I see." Ye Zichen nodded. "Many thanks, then. I'm deeply grateful that you've all answered my questions. Since Skyspan Academy is recruiting next month, I won't waste any more time. I'll be heading to Skyspan City."
"Brother Ye, if you don't mind, you can come with us. In half a year, we'll have someone meet with us. When the time comes, we can travel together. It'll be safer that way. Although it'll delay your enrollment, given your talent, even if you go half a year late, it'll still be …. "
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Huang, but I don't want to be too high-profile." Ye Zichen cupped his hands and smiled. "Farewell."
Ye Zichen didn't dare stay with them for half a year. Just now, their gazes, especially Liu Baihui's, made it seem like they wanted to eat him alive.
If he stayed with them for half a year, who knew what would happen?
Huang Yang and the others watched Ye Zichen leave and sighed in desolation. This was peerless talent! The Divine Mountains had probably never seen such a monstrous genius in ten thousand years. If only they could use this opportunity to form some sort of relationship with him.
"Don't look anymore. He's gone."
Huang Yang sighed helplessly. Liu Baihui looked dejected, while the others hung their heads in dejection.
Until ….
"Hey, did we miss something?" Fan Li suddenly furrowed his brows. "Didn't we tell him where he could go and where he couldn't?"
"That …."
The surrounding people were all stunned. Soon after, they all shifted their gazes to Huang Yang.
Just now, he'd said the most to Ye Zichen. He knew best whether he'd said anything or not.
"I don't think so …."
Huang Yang gulped. This was his first time meeting a peerless genius. Even he was a bit excited, so much so that he'd forgotten what he should've said.
"What should we do? There's no way we can chase after him now, but there are a few cities on the way to Skyspan City that the bandits are guarding. If he just barges in, it'll be fine if he gives in, but if he doesn't …. Then he …. "Fan Li didn't dare finish his sentence.
Everyone else had a solemn look on their faces. Huang Yang sighed while holding his forehead.
"Let's just hope his luck gets better."
Ye Zichen followed the marks on the map. He'd already been rushing at top speed for over six hours.
"How strange. The difference between the Divine Mountains and the Lower Lands isn't much different. The divine power outside the cities is so wild that I can't absorb it."
Ye Zichen originally wanted to find a secluded place to rest, but the divine power outside was simply too wild. He had no choice but to hurry and find a city to rest before sunset.
Another few hours passed, and night fell one after another.
Since he couldn't fly, he had to walk. This was extremely taxing on his energy. With great difficulty, Ye Zichen made it to a city in the wee hours of the night.
Although it was already late at night, the city was still brightly lit.
Countless fiery-red lanterns hung from the city walls, as if to light the way home for travelers.
"There are so few people in the city!"
Ye Zichen thought the city would be similar to the Lower Lands. He thought he'd see densely packed residents. To his astonishment, there were pitifully few people in the city. He didn't see a single person the entire way.
Ye Zichen hesitantly walked up to a restaurant and rubbed his spatial ring.
Although he didn't know if the money here was the same as in the Lower Lands, he had quite a few useless treasures and pills. If worse came to worst, he could use them to make up for it.
Ye Zichen calmly walked into the restaurant. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Waiter!
Here's some good food and drinks for you …. Give …. Give …. "
