328: Tianshui Academy

The moment the woman in white successfully passed, her cultivation immediately soared.

She advanced from the Array Formation Realm Second Level to the Array Formation Realm Third Level.

Inside the temple, Buddhist runes appeared out of thin air, condensing into a mysterious and powerful formation that was directly etched into the woman's body.

After an unknown period, the woman opened her eyes, her cultivation already reaching the Array Formation Realm Third Level!

“Myriad Appearance Prajna Formation.”

The woman murmured softly. She had passed this trial ground, and not only did she receive the rewards for passing, but she also broke through on the spot. The formation etched into her was an ancient Imperial-grade formation.

Life and death, illusion and destruction, myriad appearances of Prajna.

The woman in white smiled brightly, collected her clearance rewards, and left.

When she checked her recent message notifications, she found over a dozen records, all related to someone named “Hang Wang.”

“Why is it still this ‘Hang Wang’?”

The woman frowned. She had heard the Heavenly Sound of Rules when this person broke through the Ninefold Heaven Stairs previously, so she had an impression.

She didn't expect that now the other party had broken the record for the Golden Forest - Hundred Beasts Illusion.

Is he really that remarkable?

“Wait, this Demon Lock Tower… what illusion is this?”

The woman's expression was surprised and uncertain. Could it be a newly appeared illusion?

One must know that most of the existing illusions in the Golden Forest were old illusions to her, as she had already cleared them all.

Other Young Kings as powerful as her had also basically cleared all the most basic Trial Grounds in the Golden Forest.

After clearing them, there would be no rewards for re-entering, as the illusions inside were repetitive.

But if a new illusion appeared, it would be different.

“Perhaps I can go see this Demon Lock Tower. I've been cultivating for too long anyway, and I need to go out and fight.”

The woman's eyes flickered, and her figure quietly departed.

...

Barren Ancient World, He Country, Heavenly Water Academy.

Inside a cultivation chamber.

Yu Feng, clad in blue robes, roared with blood flowing from his seven orifices:

“Hang Wang! I, Yu Feng, will not rest until I see your downfall! This enmity is irreconcilable!”

This was the roar of a Young King.

As a True Disciple of Heavenly Water Academy and a powerful Young King, he couldn't believe that he had been killed by someone of unknown origin and expelled from the Void Spirit Realm!

This was an immense humiliation!

“Pfft!”

Being killed in the Void Spirit Realm and having one's Soul blasted out would bring some injuries back to the physical body.

If the injuries sustained in the Void Spirit Realm were light, then the injuries brought back would also be light.

But he himself was directly blasted into a mist of blood, indicating that the Soul injury was extremely severe.

He spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood before he finally managed to stabilize himself slightly.

The commotion in his cultivation chamber also attracted the attention of the Elders in the academy.

Because every Heavenly Water Academy Disciple entered the Void Spirit Realm through the academy's void spirit tablet ancient altar, which bound each Disciple's Soul aura and could detect which Disciples were still in the Void Spirit Realm.

As a Young King, Yu Feng naturally received much attention, and his expulsion from the Void Spirit Realm was immediately noticed by the academy's Elders.

Sensing the aura outside his cultivation chamber, Yu Feng opened the Restriction and walked out.

Seeing Yu Feng's pale Face and blood still on the corner of his mouth, the Elder of Heavenly Water Academy was greatly surprised.

“Yu Feng, why were you expelled from the Void Spirit Realm? Did you die in a dangerous trial ground?”

The Elder couldn't help but ask.

Yu Feng had a cultivation of Array Formation Realm First Level, and was not far from entering the second level. He was the pride of their Heavenly Water Academy.

If such a powerful individual encountered danger and died, it would be too regrettable.

“No, I was killed by someone.”

Yu Feng clenched his fists and said fiercely.

“What?!”

Hearing his words, the Elder of Heavenly Water Academy was utterly shocked, but then came deep anger.

Yu Feng was a True Disciple of their Heavenly Water Academy, a renowned Young King. Whoever could kill Yu Feng must be another Young King.

Who dared to disrespect their Heavenly Water Academy so much?

“Could it be someone from Nine Bends Academy?” The Elder asked with a grim Face.

“No, it's not.”

Yu Feng shook his head, his Face full of hatred as he said, “It's someone named ‘Hang Wang’ in the Void Spirit Realm. I've never seen him; he's very unfamiliar, and he doesn't seem to be a Cultivator from our He Country.”

“Hang Wang?”

The Elder's brows furrowed tightly.

One drawback of the Void Spirit Realm is that those who enter it can use virtual names to replace their identities, as the Void Spirit Realm doesn't check your real name.

As a result, many Cultivators don't use their real names.

Some Young Kings, of course, disdain using fake names and directly use their real names.

After all, their real names represent themselves, and just uttering a name can make people flinch and dare not be presumptuous.

But naturally, there are also powerful individuals who don't use their real names, precisely to better conceal their identities.

And encountering such people can be very troublesome.

If the other party deliberately conceals their appearance and their true identity cannot be deduced, then being targeted by them in the Void Spirit Realm would undoubtedly be very passive.

Just then, the entire Heavenly Water Academy shook.

Because dozens of Disciples successively emerged from the Void Spirit Realm, clearly having been killed and then automatically expelled by the Void Spirit Realm.

“Ahhh! I finally got into the Void Spirit Realm, and I'm out just like that!”

“I've been cultivating in the Golden Forest for three months, just a little bit, just a little bit more, and I would have cleared the second illusion!”

“Hang Wang, oh Hang Wang! I will not rest until I see your downfall!”

Roars, shouts, and heart-rending cries echoed throughout the academy.

This made many Heavenly Water Academy Disciples who hadn't entered the Void Spirit Realm very confused.

Soon, the various Elders of Heavenly Water Academy gathered these Disciples, including Yu Feng.

“Were you all killed by Hang Wang?”

The Grand Elder of Heavenly Water Academy frowned deeply and spoke in a low voice.

“Yes! Grand Elder, this Hang Wang is simply too much!”

“We were cultivating peacefully in the Golden Forest, and this person actually said he wanted to occupy the Golden Forest! Then he wanted to drive us away.”

“When we refused, he directly attacked and blasted us to death!”

These Disciples were all filled with righteous indignation and extreme anger.

They had always been the ones to act domineeringly, but this was the first time they had been killed by someone even more domineering.

Of course, it was also a humiliation.

After understanding all the information, the Elders of Heavenly Water Academy were all very angry.

So many Disciples being expelled at once was a huge loss.

After all, sending these Disciples back into the Void Spirit Realm also consumed energy resources, specifically wild origin stone.

Furthermore, these Disciples being killed and expelled from the Void Spirit Realm would certainly miss out on some opportunities that appeared during that time.

And even in as short as half a month, even if they re-entered the Void Spirit Realm, they might be left behind by those who were previously evenly matched.

This would lead to a predicament, a continuous cycle.

“All of you, go recover from your injuries.”

The Grand Elder spoke in a deep voice.
