Not far away, Xia Zihan calmed herself down and slowly opened her eyes, which were as bright as a starry river.
At that moment, a streak of light flashed by from not far away and then appeared in front of Xia Zihan.
As Xia Chaozong carefully examined Xia Zihan, he asked:
"Was the signing of this contract smooth? Were there any backlashes?"
Xia Zihan smiled and shook her head. "Father, you don't need to worry. Everything went smoothly. With Second Sister's spirit-gathering array assisting, there were no problems."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chaozong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sensing Xia Zihan's cultivation level, a sense of satisfaction also flashed through his heart.
"This Purple Radiance Celestial Phoenix is one of the top 100 demonic beasts on the list of all beasts. You must work well with it in the future and not waste this rare opportunity."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure rushed over – it was Qin Luo.
Xia Chaozong's expression turned serious as he watched Qin Luo and Xia Zihan arrive. He slowly glanced at the two of them and said:
"Now that the contract has been signed, it's time for you to head to the Myriad Profound Academy. I imagine the candidates for the next spot have already been decided at the academy today."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Xia Zihan exchanged a glance and nodded solemnly.
......
In the imperial city, a massive teleportation array sits atop the central plaza. This array is constructed from countless spirit crystals radiating a deep blue light, each crystal engraved with complex and mysterious runes that shimmer and emit wisps of spatial fluctuations.
Xia Chaozong was the first to land beside the magic array, his robes fluttering in the wind.
“It’s time to lift the lockdown,” Xia Chaozong said in a low voice.
He slowly raised his hands, and a powerful spiritual force surged from his body, transforming into golden rays that spread towards the magic array.
The moment this spiritual energy touched the magic array, the frequency of the flashing runes on those dark blue spirit crystals suddenly increased.
What was originally a slight spatial fluctuation has now become intense, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, with ripples spreading outwards from the magic array as the center.
As spiritual energy was continuously injected, the magic circle emitted a deep humming sound, and a dazzling white pillar of light shone in the center of the magic circle. Countless light and shadow seemed to flicker and intertwine within the pillar of light, which was the material manifestation of the activated spatial power.
Qin Luo and Xia Zihan stood to the side of the magic array, watching the shocking scene before them, their hearts filled with amazement.
As time passed, the humming of the magic circle gradually subsided, and the white pillar of light slowly receded, finally enveloping the entire magic circle in a layer of soft white light.
Xia Chaozong then slowly lowered his hands and let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that the teleportation array was ready, Xia Qingwan stepped forward, looked at Xia Zihan first, gently took her hand, and a flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing an exquisite storage ring.
"Little Jiu, this is our parting gift to you. Inside the ring are some pills suitable for your cultivation, as well as some rare spiritual materials that I have collected over the years. I hope they will be helpful to your cultivation in the future."
Then, she turned to face Qin Luo and took out an ancient book from her sleeve. The pages of the book had a faint yellow tint, as if they bore the marks of time, and the characters on them emitted a faint spiritual light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary book.
"Qin Luo, this ancient book on the basics of array formation mastery was written by my grandfather. Only members of the royal family have had the opportunity to read it. Although you are not of royal blood, you and Xiao Jiu are inseparable. I hope this ancient book can provide you with an important boost."
After accepting the gift, Qin Luo quickly and sincerely thanked Xia Qingwan and the Xia Shi group behind her. Xia Zihan, meanwhile, clutched the storage ring tightly, her eyes slightly reddening.
Seeing this, Xia Chaozong nodded slightly and said:
"Alright, it's about time. We should set off now."
Qin Luo and Xia Zihan nodded solemnly upon hearing this. They took a deep breath, trying to calm themselves, and then followed Xia Chaozong slowly towards the center of the magic array shrouded in white light...
As a beam of intense light surged from the depths of the magic array, the figures of the three began to blur and finally disappeared into the array.
The blue-glowing magic circle fell silent again after the three left. The light gradually dimmed, and the runes stopped pulsating, returning to their previous tranquil state.
Its outline became increasingly blurred, and finally disappeared back into the void, as if it had never existed.
The surrounding square returned to its usual tranquility, with only a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves...
The Myriad Profound Academy stands at the center of the three domains of the Myriad Profound Realm, its interior layout in a well-organized manner.
Scattered throughout are pavilions and palaces, some floating in mid-air, shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing like celestial palaces in a fairyland. Others sit on the shores of a sacred lake, its shimmering waters reflecting the magnificent forms of the buildings.
"This is so unfair! People from the three major domains took up half of the spots as soon as they arrived, while we went through layers of strict selection and fought our way through, but we only managed to get six spots."
"Does all our hard work mean we can't compete with the power behind them?" A young disciple in a blue robe said indignantly on a tree-lined avenue in the academy.
"Keep your voice down, or the people from the other three major domains in the academy will hear you, and you'll suffer a lot." Hearing this, a more cautious student next to him quickly tugged at his sleeve and looked around warily.
