The central region was vast and boundless, and it could be said to be a holy land for cultivation everywhere. Of course, this was only in comparison to the other four regions. There was a huge mountain range near the central region, and the density of the energy of heaven and earth and the energy of laws there was at least a few times greater than the outside world. What was even more interesting was that the mountain range seemed to have been set up by someone. It was rather orderly, and it was just like a super formation.
Although the mountain range occupied an extremely large area, and there were at least a hundred thousand mountains, there were very few living beings living here. Outside the mountain range, there were thousands of huge cities surrounding it as if they were protecting the mountain range. There were countless living beings living in these cities, and there were all sorts of demons, ghosts, and humans. However, they all had a common identity, and that was they all belonged to Yun Ling Academy.
Today, four Teleportation Formations were operating continuously in the four most majestic cities. In the blink of an eye, there were 10,000 more people in each of the four cities. However, compared to the astronomical number of living beings living in each city, it was like a drop of water falling into a river. It couldn't cause any waves.
However, the difference was that most of the people stayed in the four cities. Only a small number of people left the four cities, and they flew towards the mountain range in the central region with the longing of countless people. This was because that was the holy land of Yun Ling Academy in the central region, and the mountain range was named after Yun Ling. This showed how important Yun Ling Mountain Range was to Yun Ling Academy.
The four groups of people flew towards Yun Ling Mountain Range together. One of them was naturally River Styx's group that had just come from Yun Ling Academy in the eastern region. The city they came from was named after the eastern region, and it was called Eastern Region City. The other three cities were Western Region City, Southern Region City, and Northern Region City. These four cities faced the four regions of the east, south, and west.
Along the way, Minghe also learned some information about the Yunling Academy in the Central Region from the other elders. There was a branch of the Yunling Academy in each of the four regions. Every 100,000 years, the Yunling Academy in the Central Region would select a group of 10,000 teachers and students from the branches in the four regions to cultivate in the Central Region to ensure that the Yunling Academy in the Central Region would have a continuous supply of talents.
Although Yun Ling Academy was one of the most powerful Heaven-grade forces in the central region, the killings in the central region were much more serious than in the other four regions. Spiritual Veins, Mineral Veins, Heaven and Earth Treasures, Spiritual Roots, Magic Treasures, and so on could all lead to a massacre. Yun Ling Academy was one of the Heaven-grade forces. Although no one dared to challenge its dignity, it did not mean that the people of Yun Ling Academy would not die.
The Nine Sects, Six Religions, Three Academies, One Mountain, One Alliance, in addition to the other Earth, Xuan, and Huang forces, the Central Region could be said to be a complicated place. The forces fought openly and secretly, and killing could be said to be happening all the time. Similarly, there were people dying in the Yun Ling Academy every now and then, so every once in a while, the Yun Ling Academy of the Central Region would recruit a group of relatively talented beings from the four regions and the Central Region to fill in the gaps of the dead.
Unlike the other four regions, Yunling Academy in the Central Region had a more distinct hierarchy. Here, the disciples of Yunling Academy were divided into nominal disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples. The nominal disciples were living creatures who had not entered the Primordial Chaos. The outer disciples were living creatures in the first realm of the Primordial Chaos at the Daluo Realm. The inner disciples were living creatures in the second realm of the Primordial Chaos at the Creation Realm.
If one wanted to become a core disciple, he must have reached the Late Stage of the Fate Realm. Of course, when his cultivation reached the Late Stage of the Fate Realm, in addition to being promoted to a core disciple, he could also choose to become a teacher of the academy. While enjoying the treatment of a teacher, he also needed to be responsible for preaching and passing on skills to the students. In comparison, it was not so troublesome to become a core disciple, but the treatment he enjoyed was not as good as that of a teacher.
When his cultivation reached the Half Step to the Infinite Realm, he could become an elder of Yun Ling Academy and had many rights. Of course, he could also choose to enter the higher levels of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils. There, he would have a chance to break through to the Infinite Realm, the third realm of the Origin World. Of course, the dangers in the higher levels of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils were self-evident. A Half Step to the Infinite Realm might not survive to reach Yun Ling Academy in the higher levels of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils.
However, these were too far away for River Styx. He had just reached the Fate Realm not long ago. He did not know how long it would take for him to reach the peak of the Half Step to the Infinite Realm. Now, he was just an inner disciple who had just joined Yun Ling Academy in the central region. Although his status was noble in Yun Ling Academy, he was still a weakling in the central region.
Since he had become an inner disciple, River Styx naturally had to inquire about the number of inner disciples, core disciples, teachers and elders in Yun Ling Mountain Range. The best person to inquire about was Reverend Yang Yu, who was in charge of Summon and the others. Reverend Yang Yu was at least at the late stage of the Fate Realm, so he must be quite familiar with the matters in Yun Ling Mountain Range.
On the airboat, River Styx walked to Reverend Yang Yu's side and asked softly, "Reverend, we've just arrived at Yun Ling Mountain Range, so we don't know much about the situation here. Can you tell us a little about it?" Only by fully understanding the number of experts in Yun Ling Mountain Range could River Styx roughly determine his position, which would be beneficial for his future actions.
Hearing River Styx's words, the others all looked at Reverend Yang Yu. Although Master Ling Hao and the others had just arrived at the Central Region from the Eastern Region, they all belonged to the Dean and the Seven Halls, so they had a certain understanding of Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region. However, it was their first time here, so they didn't know much about Yun Ling Mountain Range.
Daoist Master Yang Yu glanced at Minghe and said, "It's good to tell you, so as to avoid conflict. There are a total of 129,632 mountains in the Yun Ling Mountain Range, and they are further divided into 120,000 outer mountains, 9,600 inner mountains, and 32 final mountains. The outer mountains are where the inner sect disciples live, the inner mountains are where the core disciples and teachers live, and the 32 final mountains are where the deans and elders live.
Now, in Yun Ling Mountain Range, there are about 10,000 inner disciples, less than 1,000 core disciples and teachers, and only 9 elders. Now that you're all inner disciples, you can only live in the outer peaks. Don't go to the inner peaks or ultimate peaks without permission. Once you're discovered, you'll be punished, and that kind of punishment may cost your life.
Of course, there are eight public areas in Yun Ling Mountain Range, which are the Book Collection Tower, the Spirit Hall, the Law Hall, the Mission Hall, the Artifact Hall, the Elixir Hall, the Array Hall and the Secret Hall. Now that you're inner disciples, you can go to the Spirit Hall to collect cultivation resources once every million years. If you want to get more cultivation resources, you have to go to the other halls to earn Contribution Points. Of course, you can also choose to go out and collect them yourself, but you have to be careful. Don't think that everything will be fine just because you're an inner disciple of Yun Ling Academy. "
Listening to Immortal Yang Yu's introduction, River Styx felt that it was an eye-opener. But there were more than 10,000 experts of the Fate Realm in Yun Ling Mountain Range. How many experts of the Fate Realm were there in the entire Central Region? In the four forces of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow, there might be no less than one million experts of the Fate Realm. What a terrifying estimate!
And River Styx was just an insignificant existence among these one million experts. It was really a blow to him. Thinking of this, River Styx could not help showing an imperceptible smile on his face. His eyes sparkled, and an infinitely high fighting spirit burned in his pupils like a flame.
So what if there were so many experts? How could River Styx be afraid? These experts of the Fate Realm had cultivated for so many years, much longer than River Styx. Although River Styx was born in the Ninth Era, he had already surpassed countless creatures. As long as he had enough time, River Styx was confident that he could stand at the top of the Battlefield of Gods and Devils and leave behind a legend like Venerable Kunyuan.
Not long after, Immortal Yang Yu's airboat landed in Yun Ling Mountain Range. After everyone got off the airboat, Immortal Yang Yu looked at the nine people of River Styx and said, "Well, my task has been completed. Next, each of you can choose an ownerless outer peak as your cave residence. After that, you can go to Ling Yun Hall to get your own cultivation resources." After saying that, Immortal Yang Yu drove the airboat away.
After Immortal Yang Yu left, Jiang Wu and the others who belonged to the Seven Halls left one after another. In Yun Ling Mountain Range, the Seven Halls had their own sphere of influence. The people of the Seven Halls naturally chose their cave residences close to each other. Ling Hao was the last to leave. Like River Styx, he belonged to the Dean's faction, but there was a difference.
Among the Eight Great Powers of Yun Ling Academy, the Dean's faction was somewhat special. It was divided into Direct Descendants and Scattered Descendants. For example, Ling Hao belonged to the Direct Descendants of the Dean's faction. As for the Scattered Descendants, in fact, they were equivalent to rogue cultivators who were affiliated with the Eight Great Powers. They did not enjoy the treatment of the Direct Descendants, but they were relatively free, just like River Styx.
After everyone left, River Styx was the only one left. He did not care. The path of cultivation had always been lonely. He had already gotten used to it. He glanced at the map of Yun Ling Mountain Range that Immortal Yang Yu had given him. It marked the outer peaks and the locations of the Eight Great Powers of Yun Ling Mountain Range, including the ownerless peaks.
River Styx did not spend too much time looking for the best peak to live in. He just chose a peak that was relatively quiet and had a relatively dense aura of laws. When he set foot on the peak, he saw a huge stone tablet floating at the top. It was not an ordinary stone tablet. It was the control core of the formation on the peak.
