In the end, Cao Ya followed Meng Tianzheng's divine power avatar to the Heavenly God Academy.
According to Meng Tianzheng himself, his true form is not in the Boundless Heaven, but in a dangerous place. He has already escaped, crossed the void, and is rushing back to the academy at top speed.
"This is a matter of great importance, which could very well affect the future. If my main body is not stationed at the academy, chaos could easily ensue," the Grand Elder explained.
Cao Ya nodded, understanding the Elder's meaning.
Although the Heavenly God Academy is a major power in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, its aim is to cultivate experts at the Escape One Realm and Supreme Realm to fight against foreign lands, battle against the geniuses and powerful figures of foreign lands, guard the border imperial pass, and protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
However, during the golden age of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Ancient Era was defeated by the alien realm. True Immortals and Immortal Kings perished in droves, and the Supreme Beings were almost completely wiped out. Now, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths only have the Supreme Beings to suppress their power, because the world has undergone a great change, and ominous signs are everywhere, preventing the birth of True Immortals, while Immortal Kings have vanished without a trace.
In contrast, the other realm has a large number of Immortal Kings (Kings of Immortality), and many immortals comparable to true immortals. Even the number of Supreme Beings exceeds that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
If the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths still possessed the strength to fight against the alien realms in the ancient era, then the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in this era no longer even have the strength to fight.
However, due to the barrier of the Heavenly Abyss, immortal beings and immortal kings from other realms are temporarily unable to cross over, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths remain peaceful.
But everyone knows that the abyss will eventually shatter.
At that time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will surely fall into an era even more cruel than the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, and all living beings may be wiped out.
This seemingly certain death situation can indeed frighten some creatures, causing them to shrink back in fear.
Therefore, some powerful forces began planning to break away from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with their first choice being to migrate into the Immortal Realm. However, the Immortal Realm also feared other realms and viewed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as dark and decadent places, unwilling to accept too many living beings. Those who could enter the Immortal Realm were all exceptionally talented and powerful individuals, and they also needed connections. Naturally, the number of living beings who met the requirements was extremely small.
Some forces, as a last resort, began to consider betraying the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and seeking refuge in foreign lands.
This is not an isolated case. Even in the prosperous ancient era of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were quite a few despised figures like this. For example, the Fallen Blood Phoenix, the Fallen Ancient Monk, and the Fearless Lion clans betrayed their homeland in that ancient era.
Under these circumstances, Cao Ya's innovative methods, lacking potential, are not worth paying attention to. However, if he possesses immense potential and the possibility of becoming an immortal, without a doubt, many lurking spies from other realms, or traitors intending to defect to other realms, will capture and kill Cao Ya as a stepping stone, a pledge of allegiance, so that they can migrate their entire clans to other realms, avoid the calamity of destruction, continue their cultivation, and have the potential to become an immortal, living forever and overseeing the changes of countless eras, remaining eternally immortal for billions of years.
For some unknown reason, an ominous entity was born in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, prohibiting people from becoming immortals. However, in other realms such as the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld, there was no such ominous entity, and new true immortals and immortals could still emerge, so the path of immortality was not extinguished.
As for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the path to immortality has been severed.
Such spies, undercover agents, and traitors cannot be completely eliminated even by the Heavenly God Academy, and they are very well hidden. Before they are exposed, even the Grand Elder and others find it extremely difficult to detect them.
The Grand Elder knew that he had to return in his true form to oversee the academy and deter all the villains.
Regardless of the potential of the cultivation path pioneered by Cao Ya, he himself is worth nurturing.
The fact that he has reached the Heavenly God Realm and can unleash the power of the Self-Severing Realm is enough for the Grand Elder to focus on nurturing him.
This is truly a born fighting prodigy!
Not to mention that Cao Ya has also created a new method, with a cultivation system that is different from the ancient immortal method and the modern ancient method.
What if it really could lead to something great?
Even if it's only a one in a billion chance, the Grand Elder felt that they had to seize it at all costs. The situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was just too difficult, and it was very rare to have even the slightest chance.
The Grand Elder valued Cao Ya highly.
Therefore, he personally escorted Cao Ya in this divine incarnation, fearing that something might go wrong on the way and cause Cao Ya's demise.
Even if the probability is one in ten million, the Grand Elder would never ignore it.

The journey to the Heavenly God Academy is long. The ancient continent is vast, and the Boundless Heaven in the Nine Heavens is incredibly expansive, at least tens of thousands of times larger than the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.
How many living beings will emerge in such a vast region, and how many powerful beings will be born?
Unable to calculate!
"It's too far!" Cao Ya exclaimed in surprise. Even with his extensive knowledge, he had to admit that this ancient continent of Boundless Heaven was truly vast.
The Nine Heavens are high above, even more vast than the Ten Earths, and even more blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
As for the eight lower realms, they are merely cages.
Even with Meng Tianzheng leading the way, the distance was so vast that it would probably take several days to reach the Heavenly God Academy by air alone.
This was, after all, merely an incarnation of Meng Tianzheng's divine power, possessing the strength of the Escape One Realm but insufficient for the Supreme Realm. It could not tread the golden path, directly tear through the starry sky, and traverse infinite distances to reach the academy.
That's something only the Grand Elder in his true form can do.
Therefore, they had to visit those giant cities along the way, incurring high costs to travel using super teleportation arrays.
The Grand Elder did not reveal his identity, not wanting to cause a commotion. He paid for the travel expenses, activated the super teleportation array, and teleported the two of them away directly.
They used one teleportation array after another, passed through one ancient city after another, and kept moving in one direction.
Occasionally, when there were too many people waiting in front of the teleportation array, the Grand Elder would take Cao Ya with him, and the two would tear through the void to travel to the next major city.
After nearly two days and a considerable amount of rare and precious items, they finally arrived at the area where the Heavenly God Academy was located using those super teleportation arrays.
Boundless Heaven, Sea of Stars.
This is where the Heavenly God Academy is located.
Legend has it that the Star Sea is a mythical land, and there are many legends about this place.
Legend has it that during the ancient war between immortals, countless stars fell and crashed down, their light boundless. From afar, a divine rainbow pierced the sky, its colors dazzling and incomparably magnificent.
The sky was filled with endless divine light, and from a distance, it looked like an ocean of stars.
Afterwards, the area became a wasteland because too many stars fell from the sky and destroyed it.
Since then, this region has had a resounding name—Starry Sea!
Meteorites piled up to form mountains, unimaginably high, soaring into the clouds, their majestic aura overwhelming the world.
Countless super magic arrays intertwined here, divine radiance soared into the sky, filling the heavens and overshadowing the sun and moon.
Without these magic arrays, the Star Sea would not exist.
It's quite simple. How did so many stars end up in this region? They should have smashed through the continental shelf long ago.
Later, a powerful being reforged it, and a vibrant life emerged, causing the meteorite to transform into mountains, where vegetation grew and nurtured all things.
Besides the stars, there are also fragments of precious treasures buried here, as well as the flesh and bones of super life forms, making this place even more sacred and extraordinary.
The location of Tian Shen Academy was chosen after much consideration.
"We've arrived," the Grand Elder said with a smile. With a flick of his hand, a golden passage appeared, guiding Cao Ya through the air and into the Heavenly God Academy.
Inside and outside the academy, countless beings were startled. Looking at the golden light, they showed surprise. Who was it that the Grand Elder valued so much?
"Elder, you've caused quite a stir," Cao Ya said, stroking his chin and suddenly smiling.
"Young people need a bit of challenge," the elder said with a smile, also to build momentum, show his attitude, and intimidate certain people in the shadows.
