Jun Shenyi chatted with the others about the Emperor Yu Academy.
“I have to say that Li Yu is indeed a magnanimous person who cares about the world. He taught on the Ancient Road to Heaven, and now he plans to establish an academy to educate us. His efforts are worth it!” Jun Shenyi remarked.
He respected Li Yu greatly. This was not only because he had once obtained the Dao technique taught by Li Yu, but also because of his recent actions.
He turned the tide in the Burial Earth World and stopped a calamity that might threaten the myriad worlds.
He had also easily resolved the potential danger brought by Tai Ri and eliminated the Demon Realm that was like a parasite by himself, eliminating the true future threat of the Immortal Realm.
If not for Li Yu, the current Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would probably have fallen into a calamity and could not rest in peace.
As the news of the Emperor Yu Academy spread, the various top factions of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm brought gifts and people to congratulate Li Yu, hoping to help him build the academy.
For a time, Emperor Yu Mountain could be said to be lively. The manpower and resources provided by the various large factions were more than enough.
The craftsmen and materials they provided were enough to build an Immortal Realm, let alone an academy.
Ji Qinglan received these people. He did not refuse the good intentions of the various families, but he naturally did not accept the manpower and resources sent by them. Instead, he left two craftsmen and a small portion of supplies for each family.
However, this number was still shocking, and it almost included the best craftsmen in the various immortal realms.
As the saying went, everyone had a higher chance of success. The construction of the Emperor Yu Academy progressed at lightning speed.
The recruitment announcement of the Emperor Yu Academy was also released. The first batch of the academy planned to recruit 10,000 disciples. As long as they could pass the academy’s assessment, they could become disciples.
At that time, a thousand elites would be selected through the competition to be nurtured as elites of the academy.
The number of 10,000 did not sound like a lot, but compared to the countless geniuses in the myriad worlds, this number was a drop in the bucket.
There were tens of thousands of top factions in the myriad worlds. Including a faction like the Primordial Dao Immortal Sect, there were at least a hundred thousand in the myriad worlds.
Furthermore, he could not only choose one or two disciples from those top factions and families. Therefore, the chances of giving them to ordinary factions were even slimmer.
However, this matter also ignited the enthusiasm of the young disciples of the various immortal realms and the hope in their hearts.
Countless young people began to cultivate crazily, hoping to obtain the qualifications to enter the Emperor Yu Academy. The various large families also tried their best to pour resources into the number one prodigy of their families.
After all, everyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Becoming a disciple of the Emperor Yu Academy was equivalent to soaring into the sky and becoming infinitely bright.
In the Sun family residence, two elders stood side by side. They looked at the sweating youth in the courtyard who was cultivating diligently with faces filled with relief.
“Ever since the news of the Emperor Yu Academy came out, Little Tian’s cultivation has become even more hardworking than before!”
“Little Tian’s talent is outstanding, and he cultivates diligently. He should have a chance of passing the Emperor Yu Academy’s assessment!”
“Hmm, this group of young people is so lucky now. I really wish I could return to my youth and fight for a spot!”
“Yeah, even us old fellows are tempted. Emperor Yu Mountain is the second-ranked grotto-heaven. In the future, these children will definitely have the chance to cultivate in the first-ranked Nine-tailed Mountain!”
“What’s more tempting is Li Yu. To be able to cultivate under his guidance, this group of youths will be limitless. Grandson, you must work hard and fight for our Sun family!”
“Yes, Grandpa. I’m determined to get into the academy this time!”
“Mm, ambitious!”
“Oh yes, Grandpa, I’m going to the Chaotic Divine Region to train and hone my combat experience. I want to give it a try too!”
“Hahaha, alright, then let your third uncle bring you there!”
At this moment, the young disciples of the various large families in the myriad worlds seemed to be on steroids as they cultivated crazily to become disciples of the Emperor Yu Academy.
Li Yu was a hero to these youths, a god-like existence who was the idol of countless youths.
Their admiration for Li Yu had transformed into motivation for cultivation.
For some girls, this motivation surged even more.
For example, Qin Shuhua from the Qin family. Ever since she heard about the Emperor Yu Academy, she had begun hellish devil training.
This surprised the Qin family.
Although Qin Shuhua was talented, she preferred the four arts to cultivation.
Furthermore, she had always been aloof from worldly affairs. She never cared that her strength was inferior to others, nor was she willing to compete for fame and status.
Logically speaking, the Emperor Yu Academy should not be attractive to her.
There were many disciples in the Qin family who were more likely to enter the Emperor Yu Academy than Qin Shuhua.
Therefore, everyone from the Qin family was shocked to see Qin Shuhua cultivating so desperately. However, no one dared to criticize her because of her status.
In fact, not to mention the Qin family, even Qin Jingyun had never seen his daughter cultivate so desperately. She was much more hardworking than any disciple of the Qin family.
Qin Jingyun did not expect his daughter to suffer so much and have such shocking willpower to erupt with such powerful energy.
Indeed, the power of love was the strongest power in the world!
Qin Jingyun naturally understood why his daughter was so hardworking.
“This girl…” Qin Jingyun’s heart ached. She knew that her daughter seemed to have become a different person ever since she saw Li Yu with her own eyes.
His heart had been completely seized by Li Yu.
Now, in order to become a disciple of the Emperor Yu Academy and obtain the chance to approach Li Yu, he was cultivating at all costs.
Qin Jingyun’s heart ached a little. He even wanted to stop Qin Shuhua because in his opinion, there was a high chance that this love would not end.
However, he understood Qin Shuhua’s personality. If she did not even have the chance to fight for what she loved, it was impossible for her to give up so easily.
Forcefully stopping the interference would only make her suffer more, and it might even backfire.
Therefore, even if Qin Jingyun could not bear to see his daughter torture herself like this, he had no choice. Perhaps the emotional barrier was the one his daughter had to experience in this life.
At the foot of the Nine-tailed Mountain, in Hua Fan Village…
“I wonder if there will be an elder class in the future?” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming teased.
He was naturally joking.
However, the older generation did not have the chance. Fortunately, his grandchildren did.
He was indeed envious of the young people now. They were so lucky to have the chance to cultivate in such a good place and obtain the cultivation technique of the strongest person in the world.
“Go back and ask if the Emperor Yu Academy is recruiting you. We might have a chance to become a teacher there!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue smiled.
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea!” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming smiled.
Suddenly, a black bolt of lightning seemed to flash across the sky.
At the same time, space fluctuated violently as a chaotic aura spread down from the sky.
Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming and Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue looked at the sky in surprise and saw nothing.
Before long, the black lightning appeared again. This time, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming saw that it was not lightning but a spatial rift.
After the crack appeared in the sky of the Jingxing Realm for a moment, it disappeared again.
“Could this be…” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming was shocked, but he was not surprised by what the crack was. Instead, he was shocked by how it had appeared here.
“Old Lei, the aura emitted by this crack seems to be the Ten Realms Rift!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue suddenly said.
“That’s possible, but why would the Ten Realms Rift appear here?” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming was well aware that the Ten Realms Rift usually appeared in the Immortal Realm or near the Chaotic Star Domain.
This was the first time he had appeared in the lower realm.
The black crack appeared in the sky again, but it did not flash away this time. Instead, it slowly expanded and spread until it seemed to tear the sky into two.
Rich chaotic aura spread out, and one could vaguely see through the crack. The space inside seemed to be filled with purple, red, white, and golden lights that blended but not mixed together as if nebulae of different colors were mixed together.
Seeing the scene in the crack, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming and Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue were even more certain that it should be the passageway to the Ten Realms Rift.
