"But Senior Feng, I'm still incredibly grateful for your help. I'll repay you handsomely one day." Mu Hanyan wasn't one to be ungrateful. Seeing Feng Qingyu's gloomy expression, she bowed respectfully in thanks. Ultimately, she was deeply wary of the fat man's filthy, perverted ways, which was why she didn't dare to accept him as her disciple. But since someone else had come to her rescue out of kindness, she wouldn't be too disrespectful.
"It's a small matter, don't take it to heart." Feng Qingyu immediately became in a good mood, waved his hand, and said with great pride.
Although Mu Hanyan still refused to take him as her master, at least she did not keep him at a distance like before, which gave him hope of success again.
"Hanyan, what was the origin of that divine beast just now? Have you seen it before?" Gong Hongru asked curiously. This was also the common doubt of everyone. The scene just now scared them a lot, and the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
"That is the Aolai divine beast. I met it once when I went to Feilai Peak for training last time." Mu Hanyan said simply.
It’s not that I want to hide anything, but there are too many twists and turns, and it’s hard to explain them all in a short time.
"What, that's the Aolai divine beast!" Gong Hongru and the others were all shocked, even Feng Qingyu was no exception.
"Master, you also know the Aolai Divine Beast?" Mu Hanyan asked. She had originally thought that the Aolai Divine Beast had left the continent a million years ago, and that no one except for beasts like Qiongqi and Taowu knew its name. She had never expected that Master and the others knew it.
"If it were someone else, they might not know the name of the Aolai divine beast. However, a few of us have heard our master mention it a few times. It is said that long before the Holy Continent was separated, it was already the king of all beasts. Later, its cultivation broke through the limits of heaven and earth, shattered the void and reached another dimension, becoming the mount of a certain powerful man. I never thought that it would return to the Holy Court Continent." Gong Hongru explained.
Mu Hanyan then realized that Nangong Jingyuan, Gong Hongru, Wenren Qingqiu and Feng Qingyu were actually from the same school, a fact she had never heard of anyone mentioning before.
"I never thought that Hanyan would have such an opportunity to meet the legendary king of beasts. And judging from its appearance, it should be quite close to Hanyan. We didn't misjudge him, we didn't misjudge him." Wenren Qingqiu stroked his beard and laughed. The more he looked at Mu Hanyan, the more he admired him.
"Yes, we didn't misjudge him. We didn't misjudge him." Nangong Jingyuan and Gong Hongru also looked relieved.
It seems that these people are not very interested in the Aolai divine beast. Perhaps it is because this king of beasts from a million years ago is too far away from them. They know that no matter how curious they are, they will not find the answer, so they are too lazy to explore it. Instead, they praise Mu Hanyan.
"Of course. When have I, Feng Qingyu, ever missed such a good vision?" Feng Qingyu also looked up and down at Mu Hanyan with satisfaction.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but feel a chill again. The looks from the other people were fine, they were just the appreciation of the elders towards the younger ones, but why did the look from this wretched fat man make her so uncomfortable?
"What are you talking about?" Since they did not ask about the Aolai divine beast, Mu Hanyan felt relieved. However, she felt that there was something else behind the words of Wenren Qingqiu and Nangong Jingyuan, so she asked curiously.
"As soon as you arrived at the academy, you dismissed two instructors and earned the title of Longyan's No. 1 dandy lady. Several other instructors also lost their reputations because of you. Later, they were even afraid of you like snakes and tigers. They didn't even dare to wait for you to come to them. They sent all the ancient books and trial orders from various halls and halls directly to you, but we didn't care. Don't you find it strange?" Nangong Jingyuan asked.
The rules of this secret realm have been broken, so they are not in a hurry to leave. In fact, if there is anything confidential to discuss, this secret realm is the best place.
"It's a bit strange." Mu Hanyan said a little embarrassedly.
She had indeed caused a lot of trouble since coming to Longyan College. Gong Hongru turned a blind eye to it, which could be said to be because he was protecting his shortcomings. Wenren Qingqiu didn't care either, probably because the two of them had known each other for a long time. However, Nangong Jingyuan, as the dean of the college, still pretended to be deaf and dumb, which was a bit unreasonable.
She had doubts before, but she didn't have time to think about it. She just thought that he was lenient with her for Gong Hongru's sake. Now she vaguely guessed that things were not that simple.
"The reason why we don't interfere in your affairs is that we want to see how many surprises you can bring us and see if you are the person we are looking for." Nangong Jingyuan said.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan was even more confused.
"The sun and the moon alternate, the heaven and the earth revolve. The gods descend into the world, and the universe returns to its place. Have you ever heard of this sentence?" The smile on Nangong Jingyuan's face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly.
"No, what does this mean?" Mu Hanyan shook her head and asked.
"What it means is that the Holy Continent has been separated for millions of years, just like the alternation of the sun and the moon, and one day they will be reunited." Nangong Jingyuan said.
"The continents will probably overlap within a hundred years, or even sooner," Gong Hongru added.
"Really?" Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up.
As her cultivation level grew higher and her comprehension of the laws deepened, she became increasingly clear that the incomplete laws of heaven and earth in the Holy Court Continent had become the biggest shackle for practitioners. Not only her cultivation level, but even the swords, magic weapons, or elixirs she used were no longer as good as before.
If the Holy Court Continent and the God Continent were to merge into one and possess the complete laws of heaven and earth, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for practitioners.
However, Mu Hanyan soon thought of something and her expression changed slightly.
"You also thought that the fusion of the two continents may not be a good thing for us. The two laws collided violently, and we don't know how many years it will take for them to merge again. We old guys may still have a chance to save our lives, but the other billions of people may not be so lucky." Seeing the change in Mu Hanyan's expression, Nangong Jing knew that she had thought of the crisis, and said slowly.
"What should we do then?" Mu Hanyan asked.
She had witnessed the terrible consequences of the encounter between the two lands more than once, but that was just a space crack. If the two continents really merged again, not to mention the ordinary people, even she, a sixth-level swordsman, would definitely not be able to escape the catastrophe.
Even if a Saint-level master like Gong Hongru could survive, how long could they survive? Humanity would eventually perish.
"Have you forgotten the second half of the sentence?" Gong Hongru said with a smile.
"The gods have come to the world, and the universe has returned to its place?" Mu Hanyan's mind moved, and she looked at Gong Hongru expectantly.
"You're a descendant of the Mu family. I'm sure you already know about the Divine Guardians. I won't elaborate much, just tell you something you don't know." Gong Hongru paused, then continued, "Legend has it that every Divine Guardian was originally just an ordinary cultivator on the Sacred Continent. By chance, they received the Divine Mark, which transformed their bloodline and gave them immense strength."
