“Heavenly Realm Island?” Ouyang Chen had heard of it; it was where the highest-level cultivators of the Canglan Continent gathered.
However, it has always been at odds with the good pixel of Wentian Academy.
The dean also strongly disliked the existence of Sky Island.
"A few years ago, there was a genius disciple, I think his name was something like Shen... something Lan." Ouyang Chen scratched his head, racking his brains but still couldn't remember the name.
"Shen Tinglan".
Liu Yue said in a deep voice.
"That's right, it's Shen Tinglan! Shen Tinglan's name is still on the Qingyun Ranking. Back then, Shen Tinglan was personally trained by the Dean. Although he didn't take her as a disciple, it was almost the same."
"However, when he reached the mid-stage of Spirit Venerable, he received an offer from Heavenly Realm Island and went there without hesitation! The Dean was quite angry. But, I heard all this from my brother."
Ouyang Yi was also a disciple of Wentian Academy.
All of this was what Ouyang Chen learned from Ouyang Yi.
"The dean hates the divine history of Tianjing Island, and Wentian Academy is the only force that is not under the jurisdiction of Tianjing Island. Even those big families are afraid of Tianjing Island, but Wentian Academy is not."
Mei Niang didn't understand what Ouyang Chen was talking about.
"The demonic beasts that the group threw down were all much stronger than the original demonic beasts in the Spirit Realm. I almost got scratched by one of them." Thinking of that day, Mei Niang felt a wave of fear.
"It should be Heavenly Realm Island, but why did they put the demonic beast into the Spirit Realm? What is their purpose?"
Liu Yue rubbed her temples, feeling like her brain was about to explode.
I have a feeling that things aren't that simple.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.
"Let's go." I decided to stop thinking about it.
Liu Yue summoned the Vermilion Bird and jumped onto its back.
The image of the Chongming Bird appeared in my mind. It's been so long, I wonder how the Chongming Bird is doing.
And that man.

Outside the Spirit Realm.
The elders were in a panic because they could not sense the existence of the spirit realm, and the medium used to connect to the spirit realm did not react at all.
This means that the disciples within the Spirit Realm may be sealed inside indefinitely.
"How could it have turned out like this?"
The dean frowned deeply.
Such a mistake has never occurred in all these years, and there are three hundred disciples in there!
These disciples were all selected geniuses. If these disciples died in the Spirit Realm, he dared not imagine... how devastating the cultivation path of the Canglan Continent would be.
"Keep the news under wraps, and absolutely do not let this matter get out." Jing Xuan frowned. If this matter got out, it would inevitably cause panic among the people.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
This is a consequence that these old folks cannot bear.
"Hmm." The dean nodded, then looked at Jing Xuan. "I feel that something is very wrong with this matter."
The Spirit Realm Trials have been a training exercise that Wentian Academy has been undergoing for many years.
There have never been any problems over the years.
This is really too strange.
"I'm afraid it's more serious than we imagined." Jing Xuan's eyelids twitched wildly, and a bad premonition surged up.
He frowned and looked at the dean: "Old Gu, do you still remember the chaos caused by demons more than ten years ago?"
Jing Xuan's words stirred up the dean's memories. Back then... many disciples were infected! Wentian Academy was suppressed to the point of almost collapsing.
Suddenly, a large number of demons appeared. Later, Jingxuan discovered that this matter was related to Tianjing Island.
But later, he was tricked and sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
More than a decade is enough for people to forget the horror of the past, but that bloody massacre, even after more than a decade, is still shocking to think about.
"Back then, I actually found some clues," Jing Xuan sighed. "But I still can't understand why, while Tianjing Island was eliminating the demons, they also released them to wreak havoc on the continent. What was their purpose?"
What good would it do for Tianjing Island if the mainland were plunged into darkness?
Jingxuan was completely baffled.
However, Tianjing Island holds a sacred and inviolable position in the hearts of the Canglan people, and now, only Wentian Academy can rival it.

The dimly lit hall was filled with a sinister aura, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
"Your Excellency, I have completed all the tasks you entrusted to me. If nothing unexpected happens, all three hundred disciples in the Spirit Realm will be infected with the demonic poison within the next seven days."
Inside the main hall, a man in black bowed respectfully as he reported.
"Hmm." Yan Qi nodded in satisfaction. "It won't be long before that good-for-nothing Jun Jing thinks he can seal the Demon King again by exhausting his own essence and blood. How laughable! It won't be long before the Demon King reappears. At that time... all the resources on this continent will be at my disposal!"
Before long, he will be able to stand at the top of the continent and control all these resources.
Everything is but dust beneath Yan Qi's feet!
"Congratulations, Venerable One! Congratulations, Venerable One!"
---
In just a few days, the number of demons in the Spirit Realm has increased, and many people have even been infected and turned into mindless puppets.
Feng Wan survived thanks to the disciples who supported her.
Everyone thought that they would be safe once they reached the seventh day, but when that day came, the teleportation array still hadn't opened.
"Could it be... that the elders are going to abandon us?"
"We've fought tooth and nail to survive until now, hoping that the teleportation array can be opened so we can get out!"
"Are we going to be sealed here forever?"
These words caused widespread panic; of the original three hundred disciples, less than two hundred remained.
Everyone carries wounds, more or less.
The tension that had been building up for days finally broke down at this moment.
"Or is this all a conspiracy by Wentian Academy? I heard that more than ten years ago, many disciples of Wentian Academy were also infected with the demonic poison!"
"Could it be that the elders saw so many demons and monsters, so they dared not open the formation, fearing that these demons would be released to wreak havoc on the continent?"
"So, we've all been abandoned?"
Realizing this, everyone's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
This means they will have to stay in this place for the rest of their lives.
"No, that's impossible." At this moment, Feng Wan also panicked.
I never expected things to turn out this way.
At this time.
Inside the college.
On the seventh day, the passage connecting to the spirit realm miraculously reopened.
But when one sees the scene within the spiritual realm through the Qiankun Mirror.
Jing Xuan trembled and nearly fell to the ground.
