Chapter 226
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In an instant, the entire world was pierced by her gaze—thousands of miles, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions…
The vast and boundless territory was all revealed within her sight.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, Saint King Clear Sky narrowed her eyes, showing a hint of surprise.
“He’s really fast, he’s already left the Eastern Pole.”
If he were still within the Eastern Pole, given her mastery of the void, she could capture him no matter where he was, even at the ends of the earth. But once he left the Eastern Pole, it would be difficult to trace him.
First of all, she didn’t even know which major world King Yuanying had fled to.
There were three major worlds adjacent to the Eastern Pole: the Southern Wasteland, the Central Heaven, and the Northern Sea. If he had fled to the Central Heaven, it would still be manageable. But if he had gone to the Southern Wasteland or the Northern Sea, it would truly be impossible to catch him.
“Never mind, heaven has a virtue of sparing life. I’ll let him go.”
Saint King Clear Sky was merciful, considering the difficulty of his cultivation, and decided not to kill him.
After the event, she descended from the air, the sacred aura that had enveloped her completely receded, and the silvery radiance that had flowed around her body also faded away, revealing her true appearance.
She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with skin so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch. Her long silver hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, flawless, and her deep, star-like eyes gave off an aura of mystery and nobility.
Especially, her pristine, moon-like dress, spotless and immaculate, added a sacred aura to her, dreamlike and ethereal, as if she were a celestial being, making one involuntarily want to kneel and worship.
“This Saint King Clear Sky, Mu Qingkong, is the head of the Second Court of the Holy Academy.”
Saint King Clear Sky spoke softly, her voice gentle and clear, like a spring flowing through a mountain stream, bringing a refreshing breeze to those who heard it.
Having just witnessed this Saint King Clear Sky decisively strike down a saint and forcefully subdue the leaders of various sacred lands, Ye Ruoshui and the others were somewhat overwhelmed by the honor.
“This junior… junior Ye Ruoshui, pays her respects to the senior!”
“This junior Lin Wanqiu, pays her respects to the senior!”
Han Li, with a nervous heart, bowed and said, “This junior Han Li, pays his respects to the senior!”
For enemies with ill intentions, Mu Qingkong was always ruthless in their elimination, but for the adorable juniors, she was quite lenient.
“Rise, you three have good talent. Work hard in the future, strive to become saints as soon as possible, and do not disappoint the Holy Academy’s nurturing!”
“According to the rules of the Holy Academy, only those who rank in the top three in the third trial of the entrance examination are eligible to directly enter the inner court. However, there was an unexpected incident in this trial, so there will be no third trial. But I believe your talents deserve the qualification to directly enter the inner court. Therefore, I now grant you the special privilege to directly enter the inner court. What do you think?”
“Ah… directly enter the inner court…”
Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui, Ye Fan, and Han Li were all stunned.
This was too sudden; they were completely unprepared.
But with such a great opportunity before them, how could they refuse?
“This… this is too much, thank you, senior!!”
Ye Ruoshui was extremely excited and quickly bowed, her face filled with excitement.
“Thank you, senior, for your generosity!!”
Lin Wanqiu and Han Li also bowed down, expressing their gratitude.
Previously, Han Li and Ye Ruoshui had clashed on the stage, sworn enemies.
But that was for the sake of competing for victory in the trial. Now, they had no reason to continue their hostility.
“Miss Ye, it was my overestimation to insist on a life-and-death struggle with you. Otherwise, in the finals, that Jian Chen might not have been able to defeat you.”
Han Li touched his nose, speaking awkwardly.
“Brother Han, you are too polite. On the stage, one must fight with all their might. Holding back would be disrespectful to each other.”
Ye Ruoshui smiled and shook her head, not minding.
Although she wanted to say that if you hadn’t provoked the fight, it wouldn’t have happened, she ultimately didn’t voice this thought.
Because she knew it was a pointless statement.
“We are all from the Southern Region. In the future, in the inner court, we should interact more and look out for each other.”
Han Li smiled brightly. He understood that Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu had exceptional talents and were highly regarded by the Holy Academy. If he could establish good relations with them, it would surely bring many benefits in the future.
Not to mention, behind them was the even more monstrously talented Xiao Minghuang, who was truly a thick and sturdy thigh to cling to!
In the past, he had relied on caution and careful planning among the rogue cultivators. But in the Holy Academy, besides talent and strength, it was about who had the broader circle and more connections.
Seeing the new disciples in high spirits, Saint King Clear Sky was also delighted. The reason the Holy Academy could maintain its transcendent status in the Eastern Pole for so long was not only due to its peak combat strength but also, more importantly, the unity and concerted efforts of its disciples and elders. As long as the disciples and elders remained united, the Holy Academy would have a continuous influx of new blood, which was the foundation of its heritage.
This was the most fundamental basis of the Holy Academy. As long as the foundation was solid, no matter how great the difficulties, they could be overcome.
Even if all the sacred lands, noble families, and imperial dynasties wanted to cause chaos, they could all be suppressed.
“Very well. After entering the inner academy, you will need to choose which courtyard to further your studies in,” Saint King Clear Sky said with a smile. “Ye Ruoshui, you possess the innate Fire God Physique. It would be best for you to join the Bing Third Courtyard. The head of the Third Courtyard is an innate Fire Saint Physique. If you can receive her guidance, you will surely progress rapidly!”
“This junior will follow the senior’s arrangement,” Ye Ruoshui nodded without any objection. Saint King Clear Sky’s insight far surpassed her own, and following her advice would save her from many detours.
Next, Saint King Clear King turned to Lin Wanqiu and said, “You possess the innate Moon Spirit Physique, which is of an extremely high rank. Not only in the entire Holy Academy but even in the entire Eastern Pole, there is no second one like you. You may join the Gui Tenth Courtyard. Although the head of the Tenth Courtyard does not possess the innate Moon Physique, she has immersed herself in this path for many years and is currently accumulating innate Moon divine materials, attempting to return to the innate state through acquired means. Your joining will surely provide her with many insights, and she will undoubtedly reciprocate, benefiting you immensely.”
Before this, Lin Wanqiu had known that the innate Moon Spirit Physique was rare, but she had not realized just how scarce it was. In the vast Holy Academy, there was not a single other innate Moon Spirit Physique.
“Thank you, senior. This junior is willing,” Lin Wanqiu replied.
Finally, Saint King Clear Sky made arrangements for Han Li.
She glanced at the three of them and said, “Although the inner academy is ordered in sequence, there is no hierarchy among the courtyards. Do not worry that joining a lower-ranked courtyard will make you inferior to others.”
“I will also inform the three courtyard heads, so you need not worry.”
“Next, I will take you to the Reception Hall. There, you can cultivate at your own pace. All the resources you need are available within the hall. Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you can officially enter the inner academy.”
“Thank you for your guidance, senior. This junior will diligently cultivate and strive to reach the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible!”
“Good,” Saint King Clear Sky nodded, then waved his hand through the air, and a silver-glowing door appeared.
