After the fall of Luo Guangqi, the position of the dean of the Qimen branch of the academy was not held, but fortunately, his disciple You Lingzi broke through the emperor realm and succeeded to the position of the dean of the seven sects under the joint recommendation of several deans, while the dean of the formation path could only be replaced by Fu Xuanling.

Even though the statues of Luo Guangqi and Yu Zhenzi, like Chen Long's, have already stood in the Formation Dao Branch and the Qimen Branch, and Fu Xuanling personally applied the runes, which can be immortal for thousands of years, but the statues are still there, but the people are no longer there.

In addition to the two branch deans, there was also Huang Fuyu who died among the high-level people, this young man who was born in the Western Spirit Domain and was rescued by Chen Long back then, as the personnel office of the academy over the years, he can almost be said to be the general manager of the academy, and he has contributed a lot to the development of the academy to its current scale. It's a pity that in a battle ten years ago, he was besieged by the three great emperors of the hundred tribes, and finally blew himself up and the sword spirit died with the other party.

Sacrifice is inevitable, Chen Long was already mentally prepared when he learned about the war, but as long as the academy is still there, he will not stop advancing, whether it is missing Huangfu Yu, Luo Guangqi, or Yu Zhenzi, or even Chen Long, this is the case.

In addition to the sacrificed, the living have changed a lot. Fifty years is nothing to a few saints, except for Wen Renyao, who broke an arm under the siege of the two Heavenly Beast Kings of the Beast Clan in a great war more than ten years ago, and has not been able to completely remove the erosion of the power of the law and has not recovered, the others have not changed. But the disciples have really grown a lot.

Of course, Chen Long brought them together today, not lamenting the past and looking forward to the future.

Now that he has returned to the Academy, the Great War has ended, and it seems that peace has come, and the Academy is about to usher in further development.

But the premonition that Chen Long had fifty years ago has not disappeared.

Ever since devouring the Heavenly Xuan's Will and breaking through the Eightfold Saint Realm, Long Chen had faintly touched that high threshold, cultivating to the point of being close to the Dao, and his perception of cause and effect was also extremely keen. Since then, he has been restless in his heart, as if he had a premonition that something was coming.

At first, he thought it was the matter of the saints besieging him, but after that, this premonition did not disappear, and then when he came back, he thought that it was because of this war between the two clans, but he killed the ten major beast kings, made the hundred clans retreat, and the war ended, this premonition still did not disappear.

It seems to have no clue, but after all these years of experience, Chen Long has indeed found clues from it.

Demon.

This existence, which has long disappeared from the mainland, has not even been encountered in the thousands of years of experience of its predecessor, Jia Xu.

It wasn't until more than fifty years ago, after Long Chen came to the mainland and founded the academy, that he first encountered demonic energy in the Southern Regions, killed a primordial demon incarnation, and obtained its demon heart, and then encountered two primordial demons for this purpose, that Chen Long was convinced of the existence of demons.

And after so many years, even if Long Chen was not there, the traces of the demon had never appeared on the bright side of the mainland, even if the two clans were in full swing, it seemed that these things did not come out to fish in troubled waters.

However, as far as Chen Long knew, the primordial demon fed on the spirit of living beings, and could be called the existence of the natural enemy of life, and the primordial demon had indeed descended on the mainland, but in the environment of the war between the two races, it was still able to endure and not appear to cause chaos, if it was not too timid, it was a great plan.

He recalled that in the small world, when he fought with the saints to the last moment, the primordial demon that broke into the small world, and the vague aura that he felt lingering outside the small world, was enough to prove that there were people secretly snooping on that battle from beginning to end.

And almost at the same time when the small world was destroyed, when everyone in the Continent Immortal Cultivation World did not know the situation, the Hundred Clans had already reacted immediately and sent troops to invade, obviously someone reported the news and deliberately caused a war between the two clans.

The one who can report the news obviously can't be himself or the fallen Sixteen Saints, so only those who are secretly peeping are left.

All of this seems to indicate that there is a group of scheming guys lurking in the dark.

can make Chen Long have this kind of premonition, and the plot is probably shocking.

Especially now that Long Chen has broken through the ninth level of the Holy Realm and cultivated to a higher level, the premonition is also clearer, and along with the premonition, there is also a strong sense of crisis.

With his current cultivation, it can be said that he is invincible in the world, so what can make him feel the crisis?

A large number of primordial demons? It's not like he hasn't fought against primordial demons, it's really strong, but it's not to that point.

After breaking through the Nine Levels of the Holy Realm, his cultivation was still improving, and his sense of premonition and crisis was getting stronger and stronger.

Originally, he was still worried about the academy, but now that it seemed that even if he was not there, the academy would be able to support it, so he put his mind at ease and decided to concentrate on understanding cause and effect and finding the source of that sense of crisis.

That's what he wants to tell the people.

In addition, Chen Long calculated that in more than ten years, it would almost be the day that he agreed with him that year.

At the inauguration ceremony of the academy that year, after Tian noticed Chen Long's cultivation, he left him a message, inviting him to meet him somewhere in 80 years and go to the same place together.

What Chen Long saw in that message, Chen Long still remembers very clearly, this invitation, Chen Long is going.

In the more than ten years before that, Chen Long decided to concentrate on retreat and understand the way of cause and effect, tracing the source of the premonition.

Hearing that Chen Long had just returned and was going into retreat, everyone was a little surprised, but since it was Long Chen's decision, everyone did not question it.

At this time, I heard a voice sound.

"Your Excellency, Dean. ”

Hearing this, Long Chen's eyes turned and looked at the place where the voice came from.

But when I saw that it was the disciple Chen Feng, a figure gradually emerged, white clothes were better than snow, silver hair was like frost, it was white.

"Well, Kyaukbai, have you regained your strength? ”

Long Chen raised his eyebrows, realizing that Kyaukbai already had an entity, and was no longer the phantom of the past.

"It's still a long way from being fully recovered. Jiaobai shook his head: "But thanks to Chen Feng's rapid improvement in cultivation over the years, he has indeed recovered a lot, and I have also recovered some memories." ”

"Oh?" Chen Long asked with some interest, "What do you remember?"

Back then, Chen Feng found a nameless tomb in the darkness of the Northern Underworld, and found Kyaukbai in it.

Kyaukbai was the sword of the Xuantian Great Sage, the strongest man in the continent three thousand years ago, and it was once the top artifact of the top ten divine swords along with Jiumo, but when it was found by Chen Feng, his strength was completely lost, and the sword spirit was almost dissipated, and many memories were lost.

The mysterious disappearance of the Xuantian Great Sage back then was a mystery in the Mainland Immortal Cultivation Realm, and Jiaobai lost his memory, and he didn't know the whereabouts of his master, the Xuantian Great Sage, and he didn't know why he appeared in the Northern Underworld.

Long Chen was also very curious about this matter, but his memory had not been restored, and he had nothing to do.

Fortunately, he became the natal magic weapon of his disciple Chen Feng, who had been nourished by Chen Feng with the meaning of the Shihe Sword over the years, and finally recovered a lot of strength, condensed the entity again, and also recovered some memories.

"Other memories are not enough, the most important thing is that I remember the last place I went to with my master. ”

Kyaukbai spoke: "Although the memory has not been recovered after entering there, based on the history of the outside world, it should be the last place that the master went to before he disappeared." ”

"What is it?" Not only Chen Long, but several other people were also interested in this matter, and Wen Renyao also asked.

Kyaukbai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's an endless sea of sand." ”

"Endless sea of sand?"

Several people looked at each other.

When he heard this name, Long Chen also narrowed his eyes.

The Endless Sand Sea can really be said to be the most mysterious place on the continent, even more mysterious than those Jedi and secret realms, not to mention that the pattern of the continent was formed in the earth-shattering battle 100,000 years ago, and the continent's hundred domains were also divided at that time, and the Shenmu Giant Forest also appeared after the earth-shattering battle.

And the history of the endless sea of sand was long before that.

The name of Endless is not false, at least in memory, it seems that no one has ever walked to the end of the endless sea of sand and found out what is on the other side.

And the danger is also the most in the mainland. After all, for the Sages, no matter the secret realm Jedi, there are very few environments on the continent that can threaten them. And throughout the ages, the saints who disappeared into the depths of the endless sand sea were not one or two.

Even the Great Yan Spear Saint Qin Shantian failed to enter the deepest part of the Sand Sea. After only advancing millions of miles, he encountered an unprecedentedly powerful demonic beast and returned with serious injuries, although he was not the strongest at that time, but his strength was no longer comparable to that of ordinary saints, and the vastness and danger of the endless sand sea could be seen. Some people even speculated that the area of the Endless Sand Sea was no smaller than the Heavens and Hundred Domains today.

There are really not many places where a supreme powerhouse like the Xuantian Great Sage can mysteriously disappear, and the Endless Sand Sea seems to be one of them.

But Chen Long's surprise was not limited to this.

The reason is that the place in the message left to him by Heaven back then was also in the endless sea of sand.

Is there any connection between the two?

Anyway, it seems that when the time comes, I have to go to the endless sea of sand.

He didn't tell the others about his appointment with the sky, at this time the academy was busy, and after a while, Chen Long took a test of the disciples' cultivation progress over the years, and then everyone dispersed one by one.

Mu Longxing was left by himself, and he came up with a smile.

"Boss, what I promised Lao Tzu was ......"

"It's not big, it's not small. Chen Long slapped him on the head: "Do you still call yourself Lao Tzu with me?"

Mu Longxing touched his head, bared his teeth and grinned: "I said it wrong, boss, what I promised us was ......"

"Alright, alright. Chen Long interrupted him again: "Remember, you are not too young, this kind of thing, in fact, it is the same if you let the senior brothers accompany you." ”

"That's different. Mu Longxing said with a smile: "Speaking of it, it's all about the elders, boss, you are the elders, or you still have to take it." I know that the boss must remember it, but I'm afraid that the boss will delay your retreat for decades. ”

"Got it. Chen Long glanced at him and said with a smile: "I will naturally get out of the customs when the time comes." ”

Watching Mu Longxing leave, Long Chen smiled slightly.

The disciples are all adults.

Although I decided to go into retreat, I am not in a hurry for more than ten years, at least after passing this entrance exam.

Thanks to the foresight at the beginning, the academy was built to a great extent, otherwise this time the influx of millions of candidates would not be able to cover it.

After many years, he once again witnessed the scene of the entrance examination, and Chen Long was also very pleased to see these countless candidates gathering.

At this time, it was time for the first round of exams to begin, and Yue Mingju, who had returned to the academy, once again served as the examiner of the first round of exams.

As the first test of the academy's admission, the Asking Heart Sword Road has been famous in the mainland along with the academy, and now the people of the mainland already know that falling from the Asking Heart Sword Road will not really fall to death, but it has not reduced its difficulty much. Even over the years, many sects have begun to imitate the form of the Sword Path of Asking the Heart.

Chen Long was sitting on top of the sacred tree, watching the candidates step onto the sword path one by one, but suddenly sensed something, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the gate of the academy.

However, I saw that the stone door that had just been closed with the entrance of the candidates suddenly opened automatically.

In the academy, only a few people have the right to open and close the door.

Except for the few people, even the Sage could hardly forcibly open the closed stone door, after all, this stone gate was left by the Ten Thousand Law Xuan Immortals.

Golden light shone in through the open stone door, and with the golden light, two figures slowly descended.

The strange thing is that although there are more than 100,000 candidates gathered around the stone gate, no one seems to be aware of the arrival of those two figures.

Wen Renyao and the others, who had just left, suddenly appeared next to Long Chen, and together they appeared, along with the two brothers Mocking Wind and Fox, these two brothers had been sitting in the academy for many years, and even the arrival of ordinary saints could not make them move.

Except for a few people, there was no one else, and it was obvious that in the academy, there were only a few people in this holy realm who were perceived.

"It's kind of interesting. He stared at the two slowly approaching figures.

Chen Long's eyes also flickered slightly, and from these two people, he actually felt an aura that was very close to himself.

It was a mysterious aura that could only be possessed when it was very close to the origin of the Great Dao.

"Sacred Realm Ninefold...... I can't imagine that there is still such a existence on the continent now. Mocking Wind said lightly.

That's right, that's—the aura of the Sacred Realm Ninefold.

The two figures that suddenly came down were both existences of the Ninefold Saint Realm.

On Long Chen's side, Wen Renyao suddenly remembered something and said movingly.

"It's the Sage's Thatched Cottage. ”

"The Sage's Thatched Cottage has arrived. ”
