Chapter 1281: Chapter 786: Invitation from East Sea Academy
“There is already a sorrowful thick barrier between us.”
“How is it possible! How can you be an entire realm above me!”
The Demon Sword of the Evil Sword Ancestor was pinched between the two fingers of Emperor Dongli, and no matter how hard the Evil Sword Ancestor tried, the sword remained motionless.
The Dao Heart of the Evil Sword Ancestor completely collapsed.
First, he was made a fool in front of everyone by Lu Changsheng using the Mirror Flower Bell to create an Illusion Realm, and then he was easily defeated by his old nemesis, Emperor Dongli.
In the past, the Evil Sword Ancestor and Emperor Dongli were often of the same realm, and it was not easy for Emperor Dongli to defeat the Evil Sword Ancestor.
However, this time, there was a direct realm gap between them.
The Evil Sword Ancestor was a Seventh Grade Great Power, while Emperor Dongli was a Sixth Grade Great Power.
Each breakthrough in the Immortal Realm is exceedingly difficult.
Emperor Dongli stepped ahead before him, which he could not accept.
Even though he practiced the Demonic Cultivation Skills granted by powerful figures from the Demon Realm, he still couldn’t catch up to Emperor Dongli, and the gap between them only grew wider!
Emperor Dongli flicked his fingertips, sending the Demon Sword flying from the Evil Sword Ancestor’s hand.
“We have fought from the Small World to the Immortal Realm, clashed dozens of times, and this time it’s time to completely settle the enmity.”
“Thirteen Swords of Fire Serpent!”
Emperor Dongli unleashed thirteen overwhelming Flame Sword Qis, transforming into fire serpents that opened their bloody maws to devour the Evil Sword Ancestor.
The Evil Sword Ancestor turned to ashes in the blazing fire.
“Run quickly!”
The other demons from the Blood Sea Palace, upon seeing Emperor Dongli’s strike that annihilated the Evil Sword Ancestor, fled in a panic.
“Do not let these evildoers escape!”
“Let’s go!”
The soldiers of the Dongli Dynasty’s Imperial Guard exchanged glances and, along with eight hundred thousand cultivators of the Dongli Dynasty, pursued the Blood Sea Palace.
With Emperor Dongli present, and even the strongest Evil Sword Ancestor being annihilated, they had no fear.
Emperor Dongli ignored the rabble of the Blood Sea Palace and instead looked toward Lu Changsheng: “You are Lu Changsheng, who defeated Emperor Ku at the Heavenly Court Conference? To hear a hundred times is less than to see once; you’re indeed impressive. Without your intervention, my son and the eight hundred thousand cultivators at Broken Sword Pass might have met their end here. Here are some Elixir Pills I refined, as a token of gratitude, please accept them, my friend.”
Emperor Dongli showed no airs, but instead offered a bag of Elixir Pills to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense scanned the bag, finding over a dozen Elixir Pills, each emitting an astounding medicinal power.
Emperor Dongli, commanding the Dongli Dynasty, had accumulated countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures over the eons, and the grade of these refined Elixir Pills reached up to the Nineteenth Grade, or even the Twentieth Grade.
Moreover, the Elixir Pills refined by Emperor Dongli were distinctly different from others, seemingly creations of Emperor Dongli himself.
What would the system return for graciously accepting self-crafted Elixir Pills?
“I didn’t expect the Emperor to also be a genius Alchemist; compared to him, the Evil Sword Ancestor falls short. I shall accept with humility then.”
Lu Changsheng, curious as to what Emperor Dongli’s Elixir Pills might bring forth, accepted them.
“Hahaha, the Evil Sword Ancestor’s aptitude isn’t much inferior to mine, except he took me as his Heart Demon, which he could not remove and thus could not progress any further. He undoubtedly thought I was his Heart Demon, little realizing he wasn’t qualified to be mine.”
Emperor Dongli felt a rare touch of pride after being praised by the number one genius of the Three Realms.
The Crown Prince and the cultivators of the Dongli Dynasty were amazed to see the foremost expert of the Dongli Dynasty and Lu Changsheng conversing so amicably.
Emperor Dongli was always serious and a Sword Fool, seldom chatting pleasantly with juniors.
Saint Zou said, “Since the Emperor has arrived and the Evil Sword Ancestor is dead, I can return to the East Sea Academy to report back to the Palace Master.”
Emperor Dongli replied, “Thanks to the efforts of East Sea Academy this time, convey my greetings to Palace Master Yan. As the turmoil in the Three Realms is just beginning, I shall rely more on East Sea Academy’s assistance in the future.”
Saint Zou replied with worry: “The Blood Sea Palace has refined billions of souls, growing stronger, posing a threat to even institutions like East Sea Academy, Weilong Academy, and Tianming Academy. I urge the Emperor to evacuate the beings of the Dongli Dynasty early to prevent them from being refined into Blood Pills by the Blood Sea Palace.”
Emperor Dongli nodded: “I will make immediate arrangements to transfer the trillion beings of the Dongli Dynasty into the Inner World and Treasure Space, relocating them to Tai Su Holy Land. As one of the five great Innate Holy Lands, Tai Su Holy Land, in tandem with Weilong Academy, Tianming Academy, and other Holy Lands, Sects, and Immortal Dynasties, might be able to halt the encroachment by the Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect in the east.”
Saint Zou nodded, preparing to return to the academy with thousands of East Sea Academy disciples.
Before departing, Saint Zou turned to Lu Changsheng: “Lu, would you be interested in visiting our East Sea Academy? Our Palace Master has long heard of you and wishes to meet, and besides, there is also the Master’s direct disciple, Miss Mo.”
“East Sea Academy… it might be worth a visit.”
To avoid the Candle Dragon, Lu Changsheng was temporarily traveling the eastern regions of the Immortal Realm, ready to strike against the Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect whenever encountered.
Invited by the East Sea Academy, Lu Changsheng was indeed interested in seeing the academy.
In the Holy Land of the Confucian Sect, the Nine Great Confucian Sects are supreme, below which are other sects like the East Sea Academy.
The Palace Master of the East Sea Academy and the four Upper Doctors make up five Great Powers combined.
A sect with five Great Powers commands at least the strength of a lesser Holy Land.
“Please.”
Saint Zou summoned the Flying Sword, leading the Confucian Scholars and Lu Changsheng and his disciple towards the East Sea Academy.
Along the way, Nangong Ji excitedly introduced: “Our East Sea Academy is located on East Sea Island, covering ninety thousand acres. The current Palace Master Yan is the third Palace Master. It is said that Palace Master Yan was once the prodigy of the Confucian Dao, attracting the attention of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, all eager to recruit her. But she ultimately chose our East Sea Academy. Thanks to Palace Master Yan’s presence, both Tianming Academy and Weilong Academy, show us due respect, never recruiting Confucian Scholars within our domain.”
“Renowned far and wide.”
Lu Changsheng had heard a little about Palace Master Yan of the East Sea Academy.
Palace Master Yan Ruxue of the East Sea Academy, a prodigy from three hundred million years ago, amazed the Nine Great Confucian Sects with her aptitudes.
If she had agreed, she could have joined any of the Nine Great Confucian Sects, yet she chose the East Sea Academy, which is a level below them, surprising everyone.
People could not comprehend why someone so gifted would forsake the abundant resources of the Nine Great Confucian Sects to join the smaller East Sea Academy.
Yet, the resources of East Sea Academy did not hinder Yan Ruxue’s growth. Now, Yan Ruxue stands as the foremost expert of East Sea Academy, and even Emperor Dongli shows her deference.
East Sea Island, situated amidst the vast eastern ocean, near the continental Immortal Realm, serves as the founding site of the East Sea Academy.
Lu Changsheng had read about it in an ancient text, which stated that the first Palace Master of East Sea Academy chose to establish the academy on East Sea Island to guard a tomb buried in the endless seabed of the East Sea…
