After leaving the Heavenly Star Academy, Ye Chen had traveled to Zhongzhou, the Northern Territory, and the Southern Desert, and for most of the half a year, there was no time to rest even a moment in the Central and Southern Expeditions and Northern Wars, and the strong attack of Xia Zining and the Old Holy Emperor in the Jedi announced that this battle had finally come to an end temporarily.

The short period of rest and relaxation in the goddess's palace made everyone gradually let go of their guards.

Exhaustion welled up in my heart, and after three days and three nights of sleep, my body was soothed.

And the new challenge came as if it had been pinched in time.

"There's a message from the Heavenly Star Academy, asking me to wait and go back in the shortest possible time. Ye Chen expressed the news he had gotten.

"I've gotten the news as well. Nangong Yan also said that she and Ye Chen were both masters of the god list, and if something big really happened in the academy, it was reasonable that they would be summoned.

"Did you say something?" Zi Xuan asked with a frown.

"I didn't say it, but I can guess something from their actions in recent times. Ye Chen said, "For half a year, they have not been idle, but they have also carried out military training like me, which must be of great significance." ”

"Actually, it's not hard to guess. At this time, it was Nangong Qian who spoke, "The ten-year academy competition is about to begin." ”

"Academy competition?" everyone thought to themselves.

"The entire continent can be roughly divided into four major regions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, with the Heavenly Star Academy set up by the Heavenly Star Gate in the east, the Holy Spirit Academy set up by the Holy Cliff in the south, the Elemental Academy set up by the Five Elements Sect in the north, and the Western Regions...... It's a bit more special. ”

"What's so special?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.

"I have heard that the Western Regions, also known as the Western Heavens, are different from the prosperity of other regions where hundreds of schools of thought contend, there is only one religion, that is, the legendary Buddhism, and the doctrine is to universalize the compassion of all beings. The Holy Emperor said softly, his special identity and his travels over the years, so he knew relatively clearly.

"Buddhism is the only bishop of the Western Heavens and the lord of a domain, but from various levels such as doctrine, they don't have to discipline the disciples, and their subordinates won't cause trouble everywhere, so in general, the Western Regions is the most peaceful region. Nangong Yan continued to explain.

"The four domains are in charge of the four major sects, and the four major academies under them are both cooperative and competitive, so there will be a big competition every ten years, as for the rules, they are relatively flexible and changeable, and even each session is different, and it is still too early to say now. ”

"I see. Ye Chen lowered his head and pondered, the strongest in the cultivator world are respected, and it is indeed the fairest to select the strongest person by way of martial arts.

"Aunt Qian, do you know what your past achievements are?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.

"Well, if you really want to talk about it, when I was still in the Heavenly Star Academy, I had the honor to participate in one session, among which the cultivators of the Western Regions didn't have much to win, and every victory was very difficult, even if they were defeated, it could be regarded as a kind of humility, so I really can't say anything about their evaluation. Nangong Yan said.

"The doctrine is so understandable. Ye Chen said.

"Then there are only three major regions left, but it is generally recognized that the Holy Spirit Academy in the Southern Regions is the strongest, as far as I know, they have won nine times out of ten in previous competitions, especially in the past hundred years, they have even won seven consecutive championships. ”

"Immediately followed by the Elemental Academy in the Northern Regions, under the leadership of the Five Elements Sect, coupled with their unique talent cultivation methods, steady and steady is often the most important existence that cannot be ignored. ”

"I even heard that there was a demonic boy from the Five Elements Sect, and at the age of twelve, he showed a strong suppressive power when he participated in the Four Domains Competition, and even ended the streak of the Holy Spirit Academy under his leadership. ”

"Twelve years old?!" Ye Chen and the others, you look at me, I look at you, the shock on their faces can't be hidden, think about it, what level they were when they were twelve.

The people here are all strong people, and they did show extremely good combat effectiveness at the age of twelve, but to say that they shined in that kind of big scene at that age, to be honest, it is really unimaginable.

In the next ten years, that demon has grown greatly, once again leading the team to win the Holy Spirit Academy, winning the second consecutive championship, and this time he will be even more terrifying. ”

"In third place is the Eastern Regions where we are, alas. ”

Nangong Qian sighed softly, "Actually, as far as I know, in terms of hard power, the Heavenly Star Sect is definitely not weaker than the Five Elements Sect, but the results achieved every year are not satisfactory. ”

"Why is that?" Nangong Yan asked suspiciously.

"Maybe it's the heart. Nangong Qian said softly.

"Where does this start?" Zi Xuan and the others were still puzzled.

"Actually, you are all in the Heavenly Star Academy, you can understand a little, the Heavenly Star Sect does not attach much importance to the disciples in the academy, and many times it is a laissez-faire attitude, which makes it impossible for resources to be tilted towards their side. ”

"It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the cultivator has no resources, and his cultivation will stagnate, which will also lead to many geniuses being buried because of this, and the Tianxing Sect focuses on the cultivation of disciples in its own sect, making one side rich in resources almost luxurious, and the other side is overstretched, and the strength is seriously polarized, which can be regarded as a world of difference. ”

"Therefore, most of the people who usually attend the competition are disciples from the Tianxing Sect, and even many of them are familiar faces. ”

"It's no wonder that they will lose, the strength can't keep up, and they have used the same routine many times by the same person, and people with a little IQ will be on guard and formulate corresponding strategies. Ye Chen said in a low voice.

"So if there is no change this year, I am afraid it will still be a fiasco. Nangong Qian said, her voice was a little eager, after all, she was in the Eastern Regions, and she had always been at the end of the Four Regions, and her self-esteem must have been hit hard.

"The so-called change needs an opportunity, we are soft-spoken, how can we have the qualifications to talk to the Heavenly Star Gate?" Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"The so-called opportunity needs to be created by people. Nangong Qian looked at everyone with blazing eyes, full of anticipation, because these guys have unlimited potential and are very unlucky.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Ye Chen knew what Nangong Qian meant, and said, "But it's too early to say this, and we need further observation to make a conclusion." ”

"Well, the key is whether you can digest the anti-heaven resources in your hands. ”

Hearing the word "against the sky", everyone present immediately reacted, and in that Jedi, they received the so-called thanksgiving gift, were able to bathe in the colorful holy light, and collected the fragments of the law from it.

During this period of time, they also went to their own senses and wanted to get strength from it to become stronger, but they couldn't enter the door, and that feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Maybe there's a real need for an opportunity. Ye Chen said, he was also in the Holy Light at that time, but he also tried many methods, but so far there was still no gain.

Everyone fell silent, and the meeting ended, and they all returned to their homes.

Ye Chen, whose exhaustion was relieved, did not immediately enter the cultivation state, but stared at the sky alone, thinking of all the things in the Jedi and the decision of his mother Xia Zining.

At the last moment, the secret treasure of the Xia family returned to the Xia family, but Xia Zining and the old Holy Emperor were not seen for a long time.

It may be that the mother and son are connected, Ye Chen can sense that her current state is not good, but Ye Chen can't do anything, because now his cultivation strength is much worse than that of the god level.

"It needs to get stronger. ”

Ye Chen said in a low voice, his divine sense converged and comprehended, since he came into contact with that anti-heaven thing, his body had been quietly transformed.

Carefully investigating its roots, the fragments of the law shone brightly, it seemed that it was soft but it was an unconscious state, Ye Chen chased it away, wanting to manipulate it in his hands, but the ending disappointed him.

Although the fragments of the law are incomplete, they contain extremely terrifying heaven and earth energy, and their effects are different, some act on the explosion of the physical body, some enhance the power of spells, some increase the strength of the meridians, and some are attached to the soul for various transformations.

The effects are varied and carried out together, and the change is relatively short and not obvious, but it does not bode well for future developments.

Cultivators often pay attention to the word balance, which means that when advancing in strength, try to make all aspects develop in a balanced way, and if there is a difference, there should not be too much difference, otherwise all parties will not be coordinated, which is definitely a big hidden danger.

In the bath of the Colorful Holy Light, Ye Chen and the others did not consciously and systematically absorb the fragments of the law before, but they first absorbed as much as they could, and then screened the useful ones and eliminated the useless thoughts.

Unexpectedly, this practice eventually led to terrible consequences, the strength of the law fragments was different, the different aspects of the effect, and even the time and speed of the transformation were different.

This also means that there are many uncontrollable factors buried in all of them, which are equivalent to time bombs that can blow them to pieces in the next second.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth fiercely, his words were full of hatred, he remembered the face of the strong presence of the Burning Sun Camp on the altar and what he had said at that time.

It turned out that the guy had already guessed that this would happen in the early days, and his so-called thank-you gift was not sincere but led them to their destruction.

Thinking about it, Ye Chen continued to explore his body, he wanted to find a solution, because it was not only about himself, but also about Zi Xuan, Yue'er, Nangong Yan and others.

"Ye Chen, it's not good, the palace master invites you to go to the Holy Maiden's residence. At this time, the disciples of the Goddess Palace outside came to report, with an anxious face.

Ye Chen's heart jumped, I am afraid it will not be a good thing to summon him at this time.

"Good. ”

Ye Chen agreed and flew away quickly with a streamer, and quickly came to Nangong Yan's residence with his breath, just because he was affected by some kind of terrifying field, the surrounding environment was condensed, cold and chaotic, even if he was just close, Ye Chen felt great pressure, and all kinds of terrifying aura were entangled, as if they were going to devour him.

"Yan'er. ”

Ye Chen pushed the door in, but saw a girl lying on the bed, she was gentle and tranquil, but at this time, her eyes were closed, her face was pale and her little hands were trembling slightly, so it seemed that she was in deep pain and couldn't extricate herself, seeing this, Ye Chen's hands and feet were cold, because the worst finally happened!
