471: Chapter 471 Tai Xuan Star!

Qin Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Dean, what's going on?"

Xiao Shan explained, "The taixuan tokens given to you by the Taixuan Holy Land have Restrictions bound to your identities.

"If anyone dares to kill you and take the token, or attempts to exchange it through other means, their identity will not be recognized."

He paused, looking at the corpse.

"And you've seen the consequence of not being recognized."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan's expression grew more solemn.

He looked down at the silver shield enveloping him, then at the charred corpse.

He gained a deeper understanding of the methods employed by these great powers.

Tokens bound to identity.

Starlight verifying authenticity.

Any attempt at opportunism, any attempt to fish in troubled waters, leads only to this one outcome.

And it wasn't just their island.

From other islands, shrill screams could be heard from time to time.

After all, the allure of the Taixuan Holy Land was too great.

So great that it was enough to make many risk everything for a chance.

And those risk-takers were now paying the price.

On the island, the silver shields surrounding each recognized young Prodigy grew brighter and brighter.

The light reflected their figures, making them appear like deities—sacred and inviolable.

Finally—

"Ascend!"

That majestic voice rang out once more.

The moment the words fell, the figures of the young Prodigies below suddenly shot up into the air!

Supported by the starlight, they slowly rose towards the heights.

Their silver shields merged with the starlight, firmly protecting them within.

Qin Yan only felt his body lighten before he involuntarily began to float upwards.

Then, he raised his head, looking towards the ever-nearing giant ring of starlight.

In the next instant—

A flash of light.

His figure completely vanished above the starry river.

Qin Yan's vision blurred, as if the entire world had instantly turned upside down and spun.

The sensation was even stronger than during the previous spatial travel, leaving him momentarily dazed.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a room.

The room was neither too large nor too small, roughly thirty to forty square meters, and he was alone.

The space was just enough for him to practice with his spear. Though he couldn't unleash his full power, simple drills were possible.

The walls were entirely silver-white, made of an unknown material that emitted a faint luster.

The floor was covered in a soft, springy material, clearly designed specifically for Martial Artists.

Most striking was the layer of transparent "glass" on the wall.

It was called glass, but it was clearly not ordinary glass.

Qin Yan walked over and reached out to pat the transparent material.

*Thump, thump.*

The sound was dull, the feedback solid.

He pressed harder and found the glass to be extremely hard. With his Fifth-Rank Mid-stage strength, it didn't budge an inch.

It was made of some unknown Advanced material, capable of both transmitting light and withstanding the immense pressure of spatial travel.

Qin Yan looked outside through the glass.

Beyond the window was a pitch-black Void Realm, with dark spatial fissures appearing from time to time, like the gaping maws of giant beasts.

At the edges of the fissures, chaotic spatial currents raged wildly.

After watching for a while, Qin Yan began to feel slightly dizzy.

"We're traveling through space!"

Qin Yan immediately understood.

This colossal vessel was traversing the endless Void Realm, crossing worlds one after another.

The scenes outside the window were the sights within the spatial passage.

"Young Prodigies, please remain quietly in your rooms. In seven days, we will arrive at the Taixuan Realm."

At that moment, the majestic voice sounded again, echoing in every room.

The voice was authoritative yet calm, making one feel reassured.

The Taixuan Realm?

Qin Yan silently repeated the name in his heart.

He had already learned about this world from Dean Xiao Shan—one of the top hundred worlds among the myriad realms!

To rank within the top hundred among countless worlds spoke volumes about its profound heritage and immense power.

But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the Taixuan Holy Land was located within the Taixuan Realm.

That one of the strongest powers in the myriad realms, that Holy Land dreamed of by countless Martial Artists, awaited them there.

"Seven days?"

Qin Yan murmured.

Seven days—not too long, yet not too short either.

He couldn't waste them.

Immediately, he picked up his long spear and resumed his training.

Spear shadows danced within the room, ice and fire intertwined, and the sound of piercing air filled the space.

Over these seven days, the colossal vessel stopped from time to time.

Each time it stopped, Qin Yan could feel the vessel tremble slightly, followed by a moment of silence.

He knew it was the vessel picking up new Prodigies.

From different worlds, different places, gathering those young Prodigies selected by the Taixuan Academy onto the ship.

After picking up one group, it would set off again.

Traveling through space, crossing worlds, then stopping again to pick up more.

This cycle repeated over and over.

Qin Yan had no idea just how many young Prodigies this vessel had gathered, only that it was a great many.

Each time it stopped, through the glass, he could see figures disappearing into the vessel.

Some auras were powerful, some slightly weaker; some blazing like fire, others cold as frost; some sharp as swords, others solid as mountains.

Each was a Prodigy, each unique.

Thinking of this, countless passions ignited within Qin Yan's heart.

So many Prodigies, so many formidable individuals, so many competitors.

The days to come were bound to be extraordinarily exciting!

He, Qin Yan, would compete with these people, carve out his own place within the Taixuan Academy!

With passion surging in his heart, the long spear in his hand seemed to sense his will.

At the spear tip, the ice flame suddenly blazed!

The deep blue True Qi of cold ice and the crimson True Qi of scorching fire intertwined, instantly expanding severalfold, transforming into a massive ice flame burning fiercely at the spear tip.

The temperature in the room abruptly turned both freezing cold and blazing hot!

One half of the space seemed to plunge into an ice cave, with bone-chilling cold;

the other half seemed thrown into a furnace, with waves of scorching heat.

The alternating cold and heat created a bizarre airflow that surged wildly within the room.

"The Ice Flame Spear Technique has finally reached the introductory stage."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yan's mouth.

This tiangang - exquisite grade Martial Skill, which he had practiced for so long, had finally reached the introductory stage.

Though it was only just the beginning, he could feel that the power of this Spear Technique far surpassed any Martial Skill he had Cultivated before.

Once mastered, his strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.

In high spirits, Qin Yan immediately threw himself back into training.

Having just reached the introductory stage, he needed more practice to fully master it.

...

October 8th.

Early morning.

Qin Yan put away his long spear, walked to the window, and looked outside through the tough glass.

What appeared before him was a massive planet.

The planet was a deep blue overall, like a sapphire inlaid within the Universe.

On its surface, clouds churned, and the outlines of continents were faintly visible.

And surrounding the planet, countless stars orbited, casting brilliant light.
