219: Outer Space
If Amy didn't go to the Academy, then the Spirit Wood Clan would be completely eliminated in this generation.
This generation is crucial for all forces; no one wants to be eliminated so quickly. After all, even if one cannot become one of the forty-nine official Academy members, becoming a Named Disciple of the Academy is still quite good.
"Are you going in yourself, or should I throw you in?" The Spirit Wood Clan elder showed no softness, his gaze firm and unyielding.
"First, put Miss down." Being held up in front of everyone made Amy's face flush, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
"I'll go then." Seeing that she really couldn't refuse, Amy reluctantly resigned herself to fate. She secretly thought to herself that at worst, after reaching Academy Road, she wouldn't set off, and would just wait at the entrance for it to end, and be eliminated. She didn't believe she couldn't just give up if she wanted to.
"Old fellow, since your Clan's Young Miss is unwilling to go, why force her? This is Academy Road; there have been many casualties in previous times." A beastman covered in fur chuckled mockingly, not bothering to hide his amusement.
Beside this furry beastman stood a young furry beastman. Although this Clan had human forms, they lacked human features, their entire bodies covered in dense fur.
They had always been at odds with the Spirit Wood Clan; their territories were adjacent, leading to constant conflicts over a long period. The accumulation of animosity over countless years had made the hatred between the two Clans irreconcilable.
Now, seeing that the Spirit Wood Clan's Genius Young Miss was unwilling to go to Academy Road, this beastman immediately seized the opportunity to mock her.
The Spirit Wood Clan elder's face instantly darkened, filled with anger and frustration that this shameful scene had been witnessed by his sworn enemy.
"Nine-Fur, go ahead." The beastman Clan's Old Ancestor said.
Nine-Fur, the young beastman covered in fur, cupped his hands and bowed respectfully, saying with a firm tone, "Old Ancestor, rest assured, I will definitely secure a spot on Academy Road." With that, Nine-Fur held his head high, full of vigor, like a brave warrior about to rush into battle.
"Excuse me, my child here has nothing else, but she is bold and has no fear of death." After saying that, the beastman Clan's Old Ancestor left with a hint of pride, not giving the Spirit Wood Clan elder a chance to retort.
"Damn it!" The Spirit Wood Clan elder trembled with rage, yet he was utterly helpless. After all, this troublemaker in his own Family was truly timid and afraid of death. Amy had even run away from home before, causing quite a commotion for the Family.
However, Amy acted as if nothing had happened, showing no reaction at all. With her hands casually clasped behind her back, she slowly walked forward.
"It's you." Amy spotted Xiao Yan at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Young Miss Amy." Xiao Yan responded politely, a gentle smile on his face.
"Academy Road is so dangerous, why does everyone like to join in the fun?" Amy was full of questions, truly puzzled.
"Miss will go with you then." Ever since Qin Tian's incident, Amy had learned about Qin Tian's experiences and knew that Xiao Yan could fight the Divine-Demonic Body to a standstill. She concluded that this person's strength was extraordinary, and traveling with him would provide some safety.
"Of course, you can." Xiao Yan did not decline in the slightest. In his opinion, Academy Road was full of dangers, and having more people was naturally safer.
Moreover, he and Amy were already acquainted. In the past few months since he left home, he had been busy cultivating and had not made any friends. Now, having a familiar person accompany him felt quite good.
"Is this your Junior Brother?" Amy knew that Xiao Yan also had a powerful Junior Brother, and seeing Qin Tian, whose appearance had changed, she couldn't help but ask.
"No, this is a Fellow Daoist I just met; we are preparing to travel together." Xiao Yan patiently explained.
"I see." Amy had thought Qin Tian was his Junior Brother. She remembered that Xiao Yan's Junior Brother seemed to have already been invited, and two other females had also received invitations.
The news of three people from one sect being invited instantly shocked the major forces, making them quite wary of this faction.
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of these few people were mysterious, like a Dragon appearing without its tail, and no one could find their tracks. Many older generation powerhouses harbored ill intentions, wanting to eliminate them quickly, but they couldn't even find their shadows.
Now that they had been invited by the Academy, once they officially joined, those with ill intentions would no longer be able to act. After all, if they angered the Academy, even Holy Land and Families might not be able to withstand the Academy's wrath.
Amy couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Xiao Yan. In her opinion, among several people in one sect, only Xiao Yan wasn't favored and had to take this extremely dangerous Academy Road, which was truly unlucky.
"Let's go, first to report to the Academy." Amy waved her hand, looking helpless. Since she couldn't escape, she could only bite the bullet and go.
Qin Tian remained silent the whole time, just quietly following them. Looking at the scene before him, a strange feeling arose in his heart—it was the three of them traveling together again. This peculiar coincidence filled him with mixed emotions.
The three of them, one after another, slowly stepped into the Void Realm passage. In an instant, they felt a flash of light before their eyes, and the next moment, they appeared on a large Star outside the Star Domain.
Looking from afar, the outline of Zhongyuan Star was still clearly visible. It was an incredibly vast Star, slowly rotating in the boundless Universe, majestic and grand, exuding a strong aura of life, like a giant cradle of life.
Qin Tian judged that they were currently on a satellite relatively close to Zhongyuan Star.
Qin Tian was filled with shock. He hadn't expected to leave their original Star so easily. From this, it seemed that cultivating to the end, crossing Star Domains might truly become effortless.
The Star they were on, as far as the eye could see, the ground was entirely yellow sand and gravel, a barren wasteland without a trace of life. Qin Tian looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but mutter, "This is Academy Road? What kind of road is this?"
At the same time, a large number of Prodigies also appeared on the teleportation platform, numbering several thousands. These Prodigies looked around, their faces full of curiosity and confusion.
"Where is the Academy?" Someone couldn't help but ask loudly.
"What's the rush? We can't go to the Academy right now; we need to pass through Academy Road first. And the Academy is in the Eastern Wilderness, so naturally, there's no Academy here." Someone immediately stepped forward to explain.
Just then, with a "boom" a loud noise, a violent fluctuation appeared in the sky. An Old Ancestor appeared out of thin air; as soon as his figure materialized, layers of ripples spread through the surrounding Void Realm, showing his profound cultivation.
"Old man, Liu Yang from the Eastern Wilderness Academy Admissions Office, welcome everyone to Academy Road." The Old Ancestor had a benevolent expression, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone, his voice gentle yet extremely penetrating, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
