Meanwhile, within the Misty Sect...
"Yiting, didn't you always prefer to stay in the Pill Tower and refine pills? Why are you interested in participating in this academy competition? How can your senior sister have the nerve to bully the disciples of other Heavenly Gates?"
In the bustling square, a slightly teasing voice rang in Yiting's ears.
The speaker was dressed in a moon-white long dress, with a graceful figure and a faint smile on her face. She looked at Yiting, who was wearing a loose cloth robe, with feigned distress.
Hearing this, Yiting blinked her gentle eyes, pouted, and muttered:
"Senior sister, I was just getting bored with alchemy, so I thought I'd come and see the world..."
Yi Ting nervously twisted her hands. She naturally wouldn't admit her disbelief when she accidentally saw the Lingyuan Sect's information among the various sects' information on the academy competition while refining pills, and saw that Qin Luo was the top freshman.
At first, Yi Ting thought it was just a coincidence of names. After all, there might be quite a few people named Qin Luo, and he shouldn't be going to Lingyuan Sect.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, after much effort inquiring, she discovered that Qin Luo of the Lingyuan Sect perfectly matched the figure deep in her memory.
Only after pleading with Elder Jingwei for a long time did they finally get a spot, but Elder Jingwei was still worried and asked Senior Sister Suxuan to accompany them.
Su Xuan didn't suspect anything; instead, she nodded in agreement. She was getting a bit bored in the Dan Tower, so this trip would be good for her to relax.
"Yi Ting, since you've decided to participate in the academy competition, just leave everything to your senior sister. Along the way, your senior sister will take you to bully... cough cough, to instruct those other Tianmen people."
Yi Ting nodded absentmindedly, her mind racing with plans to subtly find Qin Luo's trail amidst the academic competition. She glanced furtively at Su Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Senior sister, with so many teams in this academy competition, how can we... quickly find worthy opponents to fight?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "worth it," but what she really wanted to do was find the Lingyuan Sect's team as soon as possible.
Su Xuan was unaware of Yi Ting's little scheme. After thinking it over carefully, she said, "It's not difficult. When we get to the Broken Continent, the top twenty teams will be marked on their captain tokens. Then, I'll take you to 'visit' them one by one."
After she finished speaking, Yi Ting outwardly appeared to be receptive to the lesson, but inwardly she began to look forward to it.
Just then, a man, who had been lost in thought for a long time, finally walked slowly towards them. He was tall and slender, his light blue robe fluttering in the wind, and his face, though handsome, carried a hint of loneliness.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yi Ting's eyes flashed with annoyance, and she quickly hid behind Su Xuan.
When Su Xuan saw the person who had arrived, she said in an unhappy tone:
"Junior Brother Yunyin, you've come several times already. I've told you before that Yiting already has someone she likes. Why are you so persistent?"
A hint of melancholy flashed in Yun Yin's eyes, then he forced a smile and explained:
“Senior Sister Su Xuan, I am not here to pester Miss Yi. It’s just that this competition among academies has gathered heroes from all sides and is extremely dangerous. I was thinking that if our Misty Sect team can unite and support each other after entering the Broken Continent, we might be able to achieve better results in this fierce competition.”
Su Xuan subconsciously glanced back at Yi Ting, who immediately shook her head frantically, her eyes full of resistance. Su Xuan understood Yi Ting's meaning, turned back to Yun Yin, and said coldly:
“Junior Brother Yunyin, we appreciate your kindness, but we have our own plans for this competition among academies and do not intend to join forces with other teams. Moreover, team cohesion is not something that can be achieved overnight, and hastily joining forces may backfire.”
Hearing this, Yun Yin's eyes grew even more dejected. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he just smiled bitterly and nodded, "Since Senior Sister has made up her mind, then Yun Yin will not force you. I hope that Senior Sister and Miss Yi will have a smooth journey in the competition between the academies."
After saying that, he gave Yiting a deep look, then turned and left.
A moment after Yunyin left, a huge seven-colored phoenix appeared from the clouds above the Misty Gate.
Its enormous body blotted out the sky, and its feathers shimmered with dazzling seven-colored light, each feather exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
The enormous beak opened and closed slightly, emitting a long and clear cry that resounded throughout the entire Misty Gate, causing the earth to tremble.
Then, the phoenix flapped its wings, and a wisp of misty air swirled across the plaza. Su Xuan, holding Yi Ting's hand, along with the other participating disciples, slowly etherealized themselves within this air current...
Yiting felt a momentary blur before her eyes, and the next moment her vision changed to a vast, boundless desert.
The scorching sun poured down without any obstruction, and the burning sand spread underfoot, with the endless sand dunes forming a golden sea of waves.
"Is this the so-called Shattered Continent? I wonder where Master is now? Hehe, I wonder what his expression will be when he sees Ting'er..."
Yiting murmured to herself, her tone full of curiosity and anticipation.
Before Yiting could finish her thoughts, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind her.
Yi Ting was startled and turned around abruptly. She saw a sharp streak of spiritual energy, accompanied by billowing yellow sand, hurtling towards her.
However, lacking practical experience, she could only gather a small amount of emerald spirit flame and throw it out in her panic.
When the blazing spiritual flames and the cascading spiritual energy collided, billowing yellow sand surged into the sky under the influence of the two forces, enveloping everything in a dim yellow hue.
