328: Disciple fifth grade

Human Territory, eastern Canglan Dao Domain!

Suddenly, space was torn apart, and a vortex appeared out of thin air. Immediately after, a giant shadow whistled out from it.

This was a treasure ship inscribed with ancient runes, occasionally emitting powerful Chaos Qi fluctuations, and the words "Cangwu" were also carved upon it.

This was the treasure ship of the Azurewave Dao Sect, a Supreme Power in the Canglan Dao Domain. Its speed was extremely fast, capable of traversing the space of the Ancient Land of Dao and resisting many Dao Lord-level natural disasters.

The people on board were Jin Lingyun and others returning from the Lower Realm. Besides them, people from the Upper Realm, there were also the dean of Cangwu Academy and the chosen Geniuses from the Academy.

Among them were the Xu Family Disciples led by Xu Yuan. On this trip, they would join the Cangwu Dao Academy and begin their path of Cultivation in the Ancient Land of Dao.

"Is this the Ancient Land of Dao? What pure Chaotic Spiritual Energy!"

Xu Yuan looked at the scenery below, feeling the surging Chaotic Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, his eyes gleaming.

After obtaining great fortune from that space, the Lower Realm, apart from those divine mountains and Forbidden Grounds, no longer held any challenge for Xu Yuan.

However, in the Ancient Land of Dao, there were many powerful individuals. Even an Emperor Realm Martial Artist was merely a slightly stronger ant here, which ignited his Battle Intent.

"We are currently in the Nantong Heaven Realm under the Dao Academy's jurisdiction. At our current speed, in three more months, we will reach the Cangwu Heaven Realm where the Dao Academy is located!"

Zi Yanhuan came up to Xu Yuan and introduced with a smile.

The Zi Family lived in the Canglan Dao Domain, so she was very familiar with it.

"Heaven Realm?"

Xu Yuan asked in confusion.

Zi Yanhuan smiled and said, "That's right! In the Ancient Land of Dao, it is mainly divided into six major territories: Human Territory, Myriad Race Territory, Demon Clan Territory, Demon Clan Territory, Nether Territory, and Luanshen Territory."

"The place we are in belongs to the Human Territory, located in the center of the Ancient Land of Dao. There are a total of three hundred and sixty Dao Domains, and each Dao Domain has three thousand Heaven Realms. Below the Heaven Realm are three thousand Dao Provinces, and the area of one Dao Province is comparable to the Central Heaven Divine Continent of the Lower Realm."

Xu Yuan and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

"Does that mean our Nantong Heaven Realm is equivalent to three thousand Central Heaven Divine Continents?" Xu Ji asked in astonishment.

"Yes!" Zi Yanhuan continued, "The Ancient Land of Dao is vast and boundless. The known territories of various races combined have a total of six thousand five hundred and fifty-nine Dao Domains. Beyond these Dao Domains, the Ancient Land of Dao also has many Forbidden Grounds, divine mountains, and unknown places!"

"It can be said that the Ancient Land of Dao is so vast that even an ordinary Dao Monarch cannot traverse it entirely!"

Afterward, Zi Yanhuan introduced the Canglan Dao Domain to everyone. Xu Yuan and the others' Cultivation would take place in the Cangwu Dao Academy, so she felt it necessary to give them some background information.

"Our Canglan Dao Domain, compared to the entire Human Territory, is at the bottom. Among the three hundred and sixty Dao Domains in the Human Territory, the Canglan Dao Domain ranks three hundred and forty-two. It is also located at the border of the Human Race, and to the east of Canglan is the border between the Myriad Clans and the Human Race!"

"However, although our Canglan Dao Domain is at the Human Race's edge, because it borders the Myriad Clans, many large merchant associations often pass through here. This also makes our Canglan Dao Domain more prosperous compared to other low-ranking Dao Domains!"

"The Canglan Dao Domain is divided into five parts: east, south, west, north, and central. The central part has a thousand Heaven Realms, with the Canglan Ancient Realm being the most central. The other four parts each occupy five hundred Heaven Realms."

"The strongest forces in the Canglan Dao Domain are the six major powers: Azurewave Dao Sect, Heavenly Battle Hall, Ancient Sword Dao Sect, Haoyang Dao Sect, Liuli Immortal Palace, and Sumeru Buddhist Sect."

"Although our Cangwu Dao Academy is a Supreme Power, there is still a considerable gap compared to the six major powers. It is said that within the six major powers, there are immortal existences above the Dao Monarch Middle Stage. The place we are in is the eastern part of Canglan, and the strongest in the east is the Ancient Sword Dao Sect. It is said that the Ancient Sword Dao Sect possesses four Dao Monarch immortals."

"Below the six major powers are thirty-two Supreme Powers, and the Cangwu Dao Academy is one of them. The overall strength of the Cangwu Dao Academy is in the upper tier, second only to the Ancient Sword Dao Sect and the Sun Family in the east."

"Of course, in addition to the Supreme Powers mentioned above, the Canglan Dao Domain also has some ancient Dao Sects, whose foundations are ancient and whose strength cannot be underestimated."

"..."

Zi Yanhuan spoke for a long time, and everyone listened with rapt attention, gaining a general understanding of the Canglan Dao Domain.

Afterward, Zi Yanhuan glanced at everyone again and slowly said, "Also, I have to tell you a very cruel truth. Except for Brother Xu, although the remaining junior brothers and sisters have been selected, this does not mean that you can truly become Dao Academy Disciples."

As soon as these words came out, the Xu Family members were fine, but the Disciples who had just arrived at Cangwu Academy suddenly looked serious.

"There are seventy-two Heaven Realms under the jurisdiction of the Cangwu Dao Academy, with tens of thousands of Geniuses. In a year, it will be time for the Dao Academy to recruit new students, and many Geniuses will surely go. Coupled with the uniqueness of the Dao Academy, other forces outside its jurisdiction will also send Geniuses to study at the Dao Academy."

"I remember that at the last recruitment ceremony, more than ten million new students participated, and ultimately the Dao Academy selected fewer than one hundred thousand."

"Moreover, the new students who participated in that ceremony had a minimum Cultivation of Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor. Don't underestimate the Seven-Step Quasi-Emperors of the Ancient Land of Dao, because due to Legacy and other reasons, even a Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor can easily crush a Martial Artist at Quasi-Emperor Perfection in the Lower Realm."

"A new student at Quasi-Emperor Perfection is an existence capable of crushing ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses."

"What?"

This shocked everyone from the Lower Realm.

They were not only shocked by the strength of these new students but also by the Dao Academy's elimination rate, which reached about ninety percent.

Clearly, the door to this Dao Academy was not so easy to enter.

"Brother Zi, are there no Emperor Realm existences among the new recruits?" Xu Yuan's eyes flickered with Battle Intent.

"Of course there are!" Zi Yanhuan saw Xu Yuan's thoughts and smiled, "In the last session, there were over ten thousand new students in the Emperor Realm. After a recruitment trial, the number of Emperor Realm new students exceeded thirty thousand, and the strongest one had already reached the Supreme Emperor level."

"However, Brother Xu, your identity is special. You probably won't need to participate in the trial to join the Dao Academy and become an Earth-Grade Dao Academy student!"

"Earth-Grade?"

"Hmm! Dao Academy Disciples are divided into five ranks. The highest rank is Dao-Grade student. These existences already have a status comparable to core Elders. The entire Dao Academy only has seven of them, and each one is a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign."

"Dao Lord? Hiss!"

Everyone gasped. They weren't even Emperor Realm Martial Artists yet, and the Dao Academy had students who were already Dao Lords.

"Don't be too modest! Because each of those individuals has Cultivated for several hundred epochs. Perhaps you junior brothers and sisters may also become such existences in the future, who knows!"

When Zi Yanhuan said this, she glanced at Xu Yuan.

Although her words sounded nice, among these people, the most hopeful was probably this junior brother in front of her. Of course, the other members of the Xu Family also had great potential, as their Family's foundation was undeniable and not to be underestimated.

"Below Dao-Grade are Heaven-Grade students, whose Cultivation are all in the Dao Severing Realm. The entire Academy has less than a hundred of them. Below that are Earth-Grade students, whose minimum Cultivation is at the Peerless Emperor level. Brother Xu's identity is special, so even if his Cultivation doesn't reach that level, he will likely be an Earth-Grade student."

"Below Earth-Grade students are Human-Grade students. Students above the Emperor Realm are Human-Grade. The above four ranks are all inner Disciples, and below them are outer Disciples, who are all Disciples below the Emperor Realm who passed the trial."

"Therefore, all junior brothers and sisters, Cultivate as quickly as possible within the next year. If you can pass the trial, you can enter the Dao Academy to study."
