The Tianxuan Tower was surrounded by the disciples of the academy. In front of these people, Yui Kimi, dressed in white, stood proudly, showing that she was the team leader of the Tianxuan Academy in this five academies competition.
In front of the disciples, all the powerful elders of the Tianxuan Academy had arrived. They sat around the Tianxuan Tower in an orderly manner, and there were almost a hundred of them.
The distant and clear sound of the bell still echoed in the sky. This sound did not only appear in the five great academies, but also in the whole South Ming Continent, the strength of the cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm could hear it. At this moment, countless people looked at the five great academies. They knew that the long-awaited five great academies competition was finally about to begin.
This was a grand event in the South Ming Continent. Although accidents inevitably happened every time it opened, and there would be geniuses falling, everyone's enthusiasm for it had never diminished.
This was especially true for the major forces of the continent. Regardless of whether their disciples were participating or not, they would all pay close attention to this competition. This was because from past experience, it was very likely that the future leaders of the major forces and the heirs of the major clans would appear in this competition. Knowing more about these people would mean knowing more about the future of the continent. No one would let go of this opportunity.
"The trial space of the five academies competition is about to open. Last time, our Tianxuan Academy was ranked fifth, which is the last place. This time, what do you think we will be ranked?"
In the sky, Lu Boyue floated in the air. He was still a spiritual body. Although his eyes were cloudy, there was a flash of light in them from time to time. When he looked down, the disciples felt a huge pressure.
"First place!"
Everyone said in unison. Their voices shook the heavens and set off monstrous waves of Qi that spread out with a loud bang.
"Very good! Then I'll wait and see! " Lu Boyue nodded. When he glanced at Yui Kimi, he squinted slightly. Then he turned to face the Tianxuan Tower and stood with his hands behind his back.
In the last five academies competition, the Taibai Academy was ranked first, the Daoyi Academy was ranked second, the Lingtai Academy was ranked third, the Cangling Academy was ranked fourth, and the Tianxuan Academy was ranked fifth.
Although this ranking didn't determine too many things, there was still a feeling of inferiority. Especially when facing the disciples of the other four academies, this feeling was even more unbearable.
Moreover, as the academy ranked first, it had the right to choose ten students to go to the cultivation holy lands of the other four academies to cultivate. As for the academy ranked second, it could choose the three academies other than the academy ranked first, and send its students to cultivate there, and so on. Although the duration was only one month, to the academies ranked at the bottom, this was a kind of humiliation!
At that time, because Tianxuan Academy was ranked fifth, the other four academies had sent their disciples to the Tianxuan Tower to train. When the disciples saw this scene, it was easy to imagine what kind of feeling they had. This was not even including the mocking and ridiculing of Tianxuan Academy by the disciples of the other academies.
To be honest, if the Heaven Measuring Ruler was not in Tianxuan Academy, even if Yui Kimi had to choose to cultivate in the Five Great Academies, she would not choose Tianxuan Academy. It was the same for Luo Yuxi. She completely followed Yui Kimi's decision.
As for those powerful opponents, such as Song Qingyuan and Xue Lingzi, none of them had come to Tianxuan Academy. It was clear that they did not like this place.
"How is it? Do you have the confidence to take first place? "Luo Yuxi secretly transmitted her voice to Yui Kimi.
"My goal has never been to take first place!" Yui Kimi replied softly. This time, too many things would be involved in the Grand Competition. First place or whatnot would be meaningless at that time.
Just as Luo Yuxi was about to ask more questions, the sky suddenly froze. The originally blue sky suddenly darkened, and a huge golden star disk slowly appeared in the sky. The Heavenly Profound Pagoda just happened to be at one of the corners of the star disk!
At this moment, Lu Boyue's expression turned solemn as he began to cast a spell.
"All elders, listen to my command. Get into formation and open the tower!"
Following Lu Boyue's command, close to a hundred elders cast spells at the same time. In an instant, they formed a huge formation, enveloping the Tianxuan Tower within it. Countless spiritual stones flew out from the storage rings of these elders and were instantly crushed, all absorbed by the Tianxuan Tower.
The opening of the Tianxuan Tower this time consumed a lot more energy than the previous trial. Tianxuan Academy had almost exhausted all of its resources to reach such a standard. This was also the reason why the Grand Competition of the Five Great Academies could not be held frequently because the consumption was too great.
"Quick, look at the other four corners of the star disk …"
No one knew who shouted, but everyone's gaze was fixed on the huge star disk in the sky. Other than the corner where the Tianxuan Tower was located, the other four corners gradually revealed a hazy scene. At this moment, all the cultivation grounds of the Five Great Academies were revealed.
"That cave should be the Cangling Cave of the Cangling Academy. It is said that cultivating there can make the spiritual energy of the Cangling Sect contain the aura of the Cangling Sect. It can strengthen the power of the cultivator's spells by a lot!" A student exclaimed.
"The four stone platforms should be the Lingtai Academy. My cousin is in the Lingtai Academy. It is said that cultivating on the Lingtai Academy can speed up a cultivator's cultivation. The cultivation of the disciples in the academy is generally very high!" A young man around 20 years old said enviously. If he had gone to the Lingtai Academy, his cultivation would not be so low.
"That waterfall should be the Daoyi Academy. Legend has it that the Daoyi Waterfall can purify one's soul. Cultivating under it can increase one's comprehension. It is especially helpful for cultivators above the Apotheosis Realm!" Luo Yuxi said softly. In fact, she originally wanted to go to the Daoyi Academy. It was the most suitable place for her. Unfortunately, Yui Kimi chose the Tianxuan Academy, so she could only follow.
At this moment, Yui Kimi's gaze was focused on the last piece of jade that appeared. It was shaped like a sword. It was warm, white, and flawless. It was emitting a bright light. This was the holy place of cultivation in the Taibai Academy, the Taibai Stone!
This stone did not have a wide range of benefits for cultivators. It was only helpful for sword cultivators. As long as one cultivated under it, he could comprehend the Sword Will on the Taibai Stone and achieve his own supreme sword technique!
It did not have a fixed sword technique engraved on it, but it could allow one to comprehend the sword technique from it. Moreover, it was the sword technique that was most suitable for oneself. This was the biggest use of the Taibai Stone.
Because of the existence of the Taibai Stone, the Taibai Academy was almost completely a sword cultivator academy. This also led to the Taibai Academy's strong overall combat power. The Taibai Stone played a significant role in getting the first place. Many of the people that Yui Kimi knew were from this academy. The most typical one was Lin Chen, a reincarnated sword cultivator!
