Four thousand feet. Three thousand feet. Two thousand feet. The further they walked, the more terrifying the weight Jiang Yuan felt he was carrying.

Looking at the short distance of one thousand feet ahead, Jiang Yuan felt that the weight he was carrying was already three times the original weight.

With such a terrifying increase, it’s no wonder that no one can come here.

He marveled slightly in his heart.

Even he felt some muscle soreness from this weight.

He stretched out his legs again and walked forward slowly and firmly step by step.

Nine hundred feet. Seven hundred feet. Five hundred feet. At this distance, the magnificent crystal glazed palace was clearly visible in front of him.

But the crystal glazed palace floating on the sea is just an illusion.

The real Dragon Palace is below.

The very center of the entire Lizhu Cave Heaven.

Jiang Yuan also saw that under the illusory Dragon Palace, the sea water was parting, leaving a huge gap leading to the seabed.

"He succeeded!" Lin Yuqing said lightly.

"Young Master succeeded!" Shu Xiaoxiao said happily.

There was a complicated look in Zhou Qiu's eyes. He never expected things to come to this.

On the sea.

Jiang Yuan has reached the boundary of the sea.

Looking at the Dragon Palace below, which was glowing with colorful glass light, he felt a little excited.

Since entering the Lizhu Cave Heaven, after going through untold hardships, he finally arrived in front of the Dragon Palace.

Now, as long as he went down, he could enter the Dragon Palace and see whether there were things left behind by the human saint in the core of the so-called Lizhu Cave Heaven.

If there is, it would be the most precious item in this cave.

He took another step forward and was only half a step away from the hole below.

The pressure on him suddenly disappeared at this moment.

Done!

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips.

He then took a step forward and paused in mid-air.

Driven by his will, his body slowly sank.

After a few breaths.

He came to the so-called Dragon Palace.

The gold-inlaid jade plate above his head had two plain large characters engraved on it.

Dragon Palace!

The steps in front are all paved with milky white jade.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the Dragon Palace.

Once you cross the threshold, the interior is filled with jewels and precious stones.

Whether it is the walls, beams, or white jade pillars, they are all inlaid with colorful gems, shining brightly.

"Young friend!" A voice sounded softly beside Jiang Yuan's ears.

Ten feet ahead, an illusory figure suddenly appeared.

The moment I saw his face.

Jiang Yuan was shocked.

He had seen this person before, had a glimpse of him.

When he was refining the sword grass, he saw the stunning scene where the human saint raised his hand and killed the Dragon King with a single finger.

The face of the saint that I saw at that time was exactly the same as this person, as if they were carved from the same mold.

The Eastern Region is thousands of miles away.

Beside the tranquil lake, a white-haired old man who was fishing was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Hey! In Lizhu Cave Heaven, there is actually someone who can pass my test?"

"This is incredible, this is incredible!"

He shook his head and sighed, his eyes looking in the direction of Qianyuan Kingdom.

It was as if he could see through the vast land, and Jiang Yuan's figure was reflected in his pupils.

"Not a bad boy! In a small country like Qianyuan with scarce resources, it is rare for someone of this age to have such a high level of cultivation!"

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't have much hope that such a simple action would yield such a reward.

An ownerless cave world will not last long before it is completely destroyed.

Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, a person who passed his test emerged.

And it was better than he had originally imagined.

Lizhu Cave Heaven.

Dragon Palace.

Jiang Yuan looked at the shadow of the white-haired old man in front of him and quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, senior!"

This person looked like just a shadow, but Jiang Yuan didn't dare to treat him as a shadow at all.

He was completely different from the shadow of the great monk who had passed away in meditation.

This is the phantom left behind by a saint. It has only been over a hundred years since he killed the Cave Heaven Demon King.

Jiang Yuan didn't know how many years he would live after achieving sainthood.

But he knew that this person was most likely still alive.

It is difficult for its lifespan to be exhausted after more than a hundred years.

The white-haired old man looked at Jiang Yuan's figure, stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad! Really not bad! In this small country of Qianyuan, in just over a hundred years, there was a person who passed my test!"

"So it was a test from the senior!" Jiang Yuan showed a look of sudden realization.

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, I should be able to guess something!"

Jiang Yuan nodded respectfully. He had no intention of playing any tricks in front of this old monster.

In my two lifetimes combined, I probably don't have even one-tenth of the experience of this old monster.

Not to mention that he is a saint of the human race and has attained the sainthood.

Both his experience and wisdom are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Senior, you are right. I had this feeling before I came here."

The white-haired old man also smiled, and looked at Jiang Yuan with more and more satisfaction.

He didn't have high expectations.

After all, his requirement is to have an unrivaled physical body in order to pass his test.

Among the human race, those with strong bodies are extremely rare.

If the body is not strong enough, no matter how young one is or how high one's cultivation level is, one will not be able to pass his test.

Not only did Jiang Yuan pass his test, but his own test obviously did not seem very difficult for him.

There was no blood on his clothes, which meant that his body had not been broken down during his journey.

This performance far exceeded his requirements.

How could he not be happy to have such a genius, and the one who was the most valued in terms of physical body?

It is neither an ancient family nor a Taoist holy land.

It is not even a force like the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, but just an ordinary country in the Eastern Region.

According to what he saw back then, the strongest person in this country was just a minor cultivator of the Dharmakāya.

He did not receive good teaching and inheritance, nor did he have the world's best talents to nourish him.

Such performance is purely due to his talent.

This is a rough jade, a flawless jade with huge potential for the future.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "Have you ever heard of the Holy Courtyard, young friend?"

"Holy House?"

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised, then shook his head: "Never heard of it!"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, you grew up in the small country of Qianyuan and haven't come into contact with any major forces."

"Is Qianyuan Kingdom very small?"

"Very small! It's just a drop in the ocean in the Eastern Region, not to mention that there are five regions and four seas in the world!"

At this point, the white-haired old man sighed again: "Even the five regions and four seas are just a drop in the ocean in the vast universe!"

"Alas, what a pity, what a pity!"

Hearing the white-haired old man mention the universe and the starry sky, Jiang Yuan suddenly became extremely curious.

At that time, when I obtained the innate destiny of the ancient double pupils, at the beginning of the birth of the double pupils.

There seemed to be an innate energy in his eyes, which enabled him to see the starry sky beyond the domain in an instant.

In just that instant, he saw the depths of the pitch-black universe, without a trace of light, only the most fundamental darkness.

Since this world is also in the vast universe, according to his memories of his previous life, this is completely wrong! Although the universe is cold and dark, there are billions of stars, so how can it be pitch black.

Looking at this white-haired old man, Jiang Yuan knew that this human saint was the most likely person to answer the doubts in his heart.

He couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart for a moment and spoke.

"Senior, I'm very curious. Since the Five Realms and Four Seas are just a drop in the ocean in the universe, does this mean that there are other lives in the vast universe?"

“No more!” The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed: “Before the last era, the situation you described did exist. In the vast universe, there were many ancient stars that nurtured life.”

"But in this era, they are all gone! In the entire universe, only the five regions and four seas have life."

“In other words, there is an upper realm. Unfortunately, after the connection between the heaven and the earth, the two realms were separated and could not travel back and forth. The way of the soul could not become immortal. This is also the origin of the Holy Academy.”

Hearing the white-haired old man talking about the Holy Academy again, Jiang Yuan didn't dare to ask more questions.

He obviously wanted to explain to me what the Holy Court was, but if he continued to talk about other things and displeased such a big shot, that would be bad.

With my current strength, I have to be a little timid.

So Jiang Yuan said respectfully: "Senior, please tell me what the Holy Courtyard is."

The white-haired old man smiled slightly: "I was just about to tell you, I am Dugu Bo, the Holy Body of the human race, and I am also the dean of the Holy Academy!"

The Holy Body of the Human Race? Jiang Yuan was secretly shocked.

He had heard of this physique, and there were several records of it in ancient history.

This is an almost invincible physique, and golden blood also flows in the body of this person.

So sacred!

With this kind of physique, the flesh body is invincible, and even the dragons dare to fight against the strong ones who possess the holy bodies of humans.

It will be torn apart easily and there is no chance of winning at all.

There are also strong people with the holy bodies of the human race who have developed this physique to the extreme, standing at the pinnacle of the human realm and fighting with true immortals.

The final result was the death of a true immortal, which established the supreme reputation of this physique.

Its power is no less than the ancient double pupils possessed by Jiang Yuan.

It is also a truly invincible physique.

When it comes to physical strength, this physique ranks first.

No wonder he is the dean of the Holy Academy, and no wonder the Taoist temple he founded is named Holy Academy.

He wanted to try to open the panel of the white-haired old man, but unfortunately it was still the same as before.

He is a phantom and has no face plate.

He suppressed his surprise and bowed respectfully, saying, "It turns out to be Senior Dugu. Nice to meet you, Senior Dugu!"

"You know me?"

"Uh, I don't know!"

"You kid!" Dugu Bo smiled.

Then he continued: "As I said before, after the Jedi Heaven was connected, the way of the soul could not become immortal, so I founded the Holy Academy."

"The Holy Academy is different from the Divine Academy which has been passed down for a long time. The Holy Academy only recruits disciples with invincible physical bodies and specializes in the study of the physical body."

"Do you know what the Divine Temple is?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment: "The word 'Shen' in the Divine Courtyard should be related to the divine soul!"

"That's right!" Dugu Bo nodded slightly: "You guessed it right. The Divine Academy specializes in studying the soul. Their purpose is to destroy the flesh and achieve eternal life for the soul."

"The Divine Academy has existed since before the ancient times when the Jedi Heaven was connected, and has made great contributions to the cultivation of the human race."

"But because they cannot become immortals, the direction of research on the soul has become increasingly biased over the years. Some people have even developed a way to possess other people's bodies in order to prolong their lifespan!"

He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Such a method is indeed effective. The limitation of lifespan comes more from the physical body. They can indeed extend their lifespan a little by taking over another body and being reborn."

"But what's the point? There are endless hidden dangers, the path is completely ruined, the soul and the body cannot be integrated, and all the cultivation will be gone."

"I couldn't agree with this behavior, so I founded the Holy Court."

"I feel that there are great secrets in the body. The human body is a universe."

"The path of cultivation is even more strange. The people who created this path in ancient times obviously wanted to open up their inner world step by step."

"Opening up the cave should eventually lead to the evolution of a new world."

“But to attain the Tao and become an immortal, one needs to abandon the physical body, and the cave world will also be abandoned here, and enter the upper realm to condense an immortal body!”

"Although this would increase lifespan by dozens or even hundreds of times, it is obviously not in line with the original purpose of cultivation."

“This is a road that has not been completed!”

When he said this, his eyes were extremely hot.

"This unfinished road should be hidden in the flesh. The flesh is the greatest mystery of the human body."

"This path of cultivation may seem unrelated to the physical body, but in fact it is closely related!"

"In the Tongmai realm, the stronger the body is, the more fearless it is of violent spiritual energy, and the more resilient the spiritual veins will be!"

"In the Spiritual Sea Realm, only those with a strong physical body can open up the initial ninety-nine feet of the Spiritual Sea."

"In the Divine Bridge Realm, the stronger the body, the higher the upper limit of the power of heaven and earth that it can bear. If you can freely step into the sublimation realm, you will know the mystery of the powerful body. Only a strong body can bear this power."

"In the Dharma Realm, the first hundred Dharma Realms all require a strong physical body. Otherwise, even if the Yuanshen can bear the vast power of the Dharma Realm, the physical body will still collapse."

"In the later stages of cultivation, the physical body is also very important, especially in the Cave Heaven Realm, which is extremely critical! Many people reach this stage and then pursue the strength of their physical body, just to successfully open up the Cave Heaven World. If the physical body is too weak, the opened Cave Heaven World can cause the physical body to collapse on the spot!"

"Do you understand?"

In response to the questions from the dean of the Holy Academy, Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"clear!"

"Are you willing to join the Holy Academy? Joining the Holy Academy does not conflict with your sect. The Holy Academy is the same as the ordinary academy!"
