In the Great Desolation, humans and demons were eternal enemies. Even in other worlds, humans and demons were not so harmonious. But here, there seemed to be no barriers between humans and demons. This was something new. However, River Styx did not care much about the differences between races. If he really cared about it, perhaps only his Self Mu Sen cared more about it.
River Styx looked at the situation of the eight people in front of him and basically guessed that the person who was secretly following them was probably there to protect these seven juniors who had not yet reached Primordial Chaos. Judging from the seven of them, they should be out for training or something. As long as River Styx followed them, he would definitely be able to find the gathering place of living creatures. Of course, from them, River Styx could also get some information he wanted.
… ….
On the mountain path, four men and three women killed more than ten monsters with great difficulty. Then, they collected the corpses of the monsters and cleaned up the scene and the bloodstains on their bodies. Then, they hurriedly left. The battle just now had caused quite a commotion. Coupled with the smell of blood, it was easy to attract other monsters. If a Ferocious Beast of Chaos was attracted, it would not be a joke.
Among the seven people, the woman of the Demon Clan looked at the leading man of the Human Clan and said, "Senior Brother Xu, your skills have improved a lot. That Quasi-saint level monster just now was killed by you with just a few strokes. You're really amazing." The woman of the Demon Clan had an enchanting and charming figure. Her eyes were as gentle as water when she looked at the man surnamed Xu.
When the man surnamed Xu heard this, he laughed with some satisfaction and said, "Haha, I just had an epiphany and my cultivation improved a little. When this trial is over, I will continue to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the middle Quasi-saint level in one go. At that time, my name will definitely be on the Hidden Dragon List." At the mention of the Hidden Dragon List, the man surnamed Xu's eyes suddenly flashed with a shrewd light, as if he longed for it.
When the others heard about the Hidden Dragon List, a trace of envy flashed across their faces. The man surnamed Xu looked at the envious eyes of his junior brothers and sisters and said with a smile, "You don't have to be envious. As long as you cultivate in peace, you will shine brightly sooner or later, especially Junior Sister Gu. With your talent, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can be on the Hidden Dragon List."
The Junior Sister Gu that Xu mentioned was the Demon Clan woman who had spoken earlier. Her true form was a Lunar Spirit Fox, a rather special existence in the Fox Clan. Every night when the moon fell, the Lunar Spirit Fox would be able to absorb the essence of the moon in this world to cultivate. It was extremely rare. As long as there were no accidents, the Lunar Spirit Fox would have no problem breaking through to the Chaos Zenith Heaven realm.
The seven of them walked slowly in the mountain range while the person who was secretly protecting them followed them silently. However, they did not know that River Styx was nearby and was quietly eavesdropping on their conversation. Although this was very slow, River Styx did not want to alert the enemy. Although it would be easy to take them down, now was not the time.
Just like that, Minghe quietly followed behind them all the way until night fell. The seven of them found a safe place, set up a formation, and then sat down to meditate and cultivate. The mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm expert was nearby as well. He set up a formation and just quietly guarded them. Although there was a formation, danger lurked everywhere under the moonlight, and it was even more dangerous than during the day.
Of course, River Styx did not intend to kill them. If he wanted to kill them, River Styx could do it at any time. There was no need for him to do it at night. What River Styx wanted to do was to take advantage of the current situation to obtain the information he wanted to know from the memories of these people. In particular, he wanted to know a lot about the middle-aged man at the intermediate stage of the Zenith Celestial Realm.
The middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the formation he had set up and scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense in case any danger suddenly appeared. Although he knew that there were basically no Zenith Celestial Realm demon beasts in this mountain range, he still had to be careful. After all, his mission was to ensure the safety of the seven juniors who were participating in the training, especially the two with the surname Xu and Gu.
However, just as the middle-aged man was carefully on guard, his Divine Sense suddenly fell into a trance. When the middle-aged man woke up, he immediately became vigilant. However, when he saw that everything around him was normal and there were no signs of other living beings and that the seven juniors were also cultivating and did not seem to have encountered any danger, the middle-aged man was confused.
… ….
On a mountain peak not far away from the eight of them, River Styx smiled slightly. The middle-aged man's trance was naturally caused by him. After all, he was someone who had cultivated to the mid-stage of the Zenith Celestial Realm, so how could his Divine Sense fall into a trance? However, River Styx didn't do anything other than taking the opportunity to read their memories. So, no matter how suspicious the middle-aged man was, he wouldn't be able to find out anything.
With River Styx's current abilities, it was as easy as flipping his hand to read their memories. Of course, in order to not attract the middle-aged man's attention, he even used a type of spirit herb to cause the middle-aged man's Divine Sense to fall into a trance for a few breaths of time. Only then was River Styx able to read the middle-aged man's memories without making a sound. Otherwise, with the middle-aged man's cultivation at the mid-stage of the Zenith Celestial Realm, he would definitely have noticed something.
After reading their memories, River Styx sorted out the useful information in these memories. In the end, the information he sorted out allowed River Styx to have some understanding of the middle level of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils, especially the area he was in now. Moreover, some of the information in here was useful to River Styx, especially the power that the eight of them belonged to.
The eight of them that had their memories read by River Styx were all from the same power, and it was called Yun Ling Academy. Yun Ling Academy could be said to be the most formidable power in this area, and it had even built a Spirit Capital City above the spirit veins in this area and recruited cultivators from all over to join it. As time passed, it became the strongest overlord in this area.
No one knew when Yun Ling Academy was built, and no one cared about it. Therefore, those who wanted to join Yun Ling Academy did so for the rich cultivation resources of Yun Ling Academy. In the area under Yun Ling Academy's jurisdiction, 80% of the resources belonged to Yun Ling Academy. Therefore, joining Yun Ling Academy was the best choice for those who wanted sufficient cultivation resources.
Of course, there was another reason to join Yun Ling Academy, and that was safety. Even though the middle level of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils was vast and boundless with few living beings, it was still filled with danger. To the Hundred Races, their greatest enemy was the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts. Therefore, even though the Hundred Races competed with each other here, they were not life and death enemies.
Once they encountered the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts here, it would be a fierce battle. Moreover, there were Chaotic Ferocious Beasts in the Creation Realm in the middle level. The Chaotic Ferocious Beasts were bloodthirsty and often attacked places where living beings gathered. Once the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts in the Creation Realm attacked, if there were no experts in the Creation Realm guarding the place, the living beings would be plunged into misery and suffering.
In this area, most of the experts in the Creation Realm were from Yun Ling Academy. Moreover, there was a super formation in Spirit Capital City, which was enough to withstand the attack of the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts in the Creation Realm. Moreover, Spirit Capital City was a middle-level world where countless living beings could live. Therefore, most of the cultivators in this area had entered Spirit Capital City.
However, entering Spirit Capital City did not mean that you had joined Yun Ling Academy. If you wanted to live in Spirit Capital City, you only needed to pay some fees on time. After all, Yun Ling Academy did not protect them from the attacks of the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts for free. If you wanted to join Yun Ling Academy, you naturally had to pass some tests. Only when you passed the tests could you be regarded as a member of Yun Ling Academy and enjoy the various benefits of Yun Ling Academy.
Now, the most powerful person in Yun Ling Academy was the Dean of Yun Ling Academy, Ling Hao Sage. He cultivated the Confucian Way and it was said that he had reached the middle-level of the Creation Realm 100,000 years ago. Then, he had been practicing in seclusion for many years and had not appeared in front of others for many years. In addition to Ling Hao Sage, there were seven experts in the Initial Stage of the Creation Realm in the academy. They were all Elders of Yun Ling Academy. Now, the affairs of the academy were basically managed by the seven of them.
River Styx was not very interested in Yun Ling Academy. In his current state, it was not difficult for him to break through to the Creation Realm. Even now, River Styx was only afraid of Ling Hao Sage in Yun Ling Academy. Even if the other seven people besieged River Styx together, River Styx was confident that he could escape unscathed.
What River Styx was interested in was the Book Collection Tower of Yun Ling Academy. There were many books that recorded Cultivation Methods, Formations, Alchemy, Weapon Refining, Divine Sense moves and secrets. River Styx needed them most. However, if he wanted to enter the Book Collection Tower, he had to join Yun Ling Academy. Moreover, there were eight floors in the Book Collection Tower. Each floor had requirements for cultivation and identity.
If he wanted to enter the first floor, he had to have the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian. The seven floors above corresponded to the Quasi-saint Realm, the Initial Stage of the Great Luo Realm, the Intermediate Stage of the Great Luo Realm, the Late Stage of the Great Luo Realm, the Peak Stage of the Great Luo Realm, the Half-step to Creation Realm and the Creation Realm. Of course, in addition to the requirements for cultivation, he also needed to spend a certain amount of Contribution Points. The Contribution Points were also a kind of reward system in the academy.
It seemed that he had to go to the Book Collection Tower. However, it was not a way to break in by force. After all, there were many experts in Yun Ling Academy. If he alarmed the seven elders and the dean, even if River Styx was lucky enough to escape, he would be seriously injured. In that case, the only way was to join Yun Ling Academy.
However, River Styx did not intend to be a student. Even if he could disguise himself perfectly, River Styx would not do such a thing. Of course, if he wanted to join Yun Ling Academy, he could not only be a student but also a teacher. There were many kinds of teachers, such as Technique Imparting Teacher, Divine Sense Teacher, Alchemy Teacher, Weapon Refining Teacher and so on. River Styx was going to be a Weapon Refining Teacher.
