A few days later, the entrance exam finally came to an end, and this time, there were tens of thousands of new students enrolled, several times more than in previous years.

However, considering that the number of candidates who signed up is more than ten times higher than in previous years, the pass rate is actually lower.

With enthusiasm and anticipation, as well as a yearning for those legends, the freshmen embarked on a decades-long college life that would last for decades to come, and possibly even longer.

Because of the various reasons mentioned before, today's academy is in the limelight on the mainland, and for a while, it has overwhelmed the previous giants and become the holy land of the immortal cultivation realm.

Originally, there were many forces interested in the Xuan Sui Miasma next to the academy, but before that, Chen Long represented the academy and many sects in the upper region as if they were going to fight against each other, which scared off many people.

But now that the academy and Chen Long are still alive and well, the saints of the sect are dead, although the old giants such as Taishang Dao and the Imperial Palace have a strong background, even if they lose their leaders, they will not be greatly damaged and decayed, but it is impossible to unite to encircle and suppress Chen Long like before.

And with Chen Long's strength now, even if he is not an academy, just by relying on him, if he can't join forces, even if those giants are not damaged, they can't fight him alone.

In this case, those who have been watching will naturally have no scruples.

In just a few months, more than a dozen sect forces in the Western Spirit Domain had already established branches, and a few even moved the mountain gate directly.

After all, after the miasma dispersed, the Xuansui Miasma Land was already a real treasure land, and it could not be called the Xuansui Miasma Land, but should be called the Xuansui Spirit Land.

Of course, without the consent of Chen Long and the academy, they only dared to settle on the periphery of the Xuansui Miasma, and did not dare to approach the center.

In fact, it is not close, and the center of today's Xuansui Miasma has long been occupied by the chain of cities established with Tianxuan City as the center.

In the fifty years of war, although it has not reached the upper domain, it has already put everyone at risk, it is human nature to find a safe place under danger, and it is difficult to find a safer place than the Xuansui miasma next to the academy in the entire Western Spirit Domain, not only the academy, but the miasma barrier that gathers to the edge is excellent protection.

The struggle in the upper region is fierce, and it is rare to find such an uncultivated and dangerous treasure land as the Xuansui Miasma, and it has a natural advantage in recruiting disciples.

Every time the college enrolls students, less than 12 out of 10 can enroll, and among the students who fail to enroll, there are many talented students who fail to pass the exam for one reason or another, some stay and wait for the next exam, and some leave to find another way. Then the local sects here are naturally the best choice, almost every time before and after the entrance exam, there will be many sects gathered around Tianxuan City, waiting to catch disciples.

However, more important than these small things, the dean Chen Long, less than a year after returning to the academy, announced the retreat again, and the affairs of the academy should be handed over to several branch deans, as well as his eldest disciple Yue Mingju to manage.

Although it is a very normal thing to retreat with great power, but a person like Chen Long, who has just come back on the front foot and made such an earth-shattering event as beheading sixteen kings in a row, but at this critical moment in the development of the academy, he is about to overwhelm the period of retreat of several giants, which really makes many people scratch their heads.

However, his retreat also made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, his weight in many people's hearts is really too heavy, so heavy that people can't breathe.

Although he repelled the hundred clans and was a great hero of the human race, his character often did not care whether you were a human race or not, in the final analysis, everything was caused by the sixteen saints of the human race besieging and killing Chen Long. Now that the war is over, many people are worried that if he settles accounts after the autumn, I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm. And his character does have to worry about it.

Fortunately, Chen Long chose to retreat, it seems that he does not mean this, since Chen Long does not plan to continue to investigate, then naturally no one will take the initiative to die to provoke him, several giants are quiet as if nothing has happened, and Xuan Zhen also led the army back to the south, wanting to rebuild Zhan Ge City, and the rest of the big forces are also honestly resting and recovering their vitality.

For a time, the continent was surprisingly calm.

It's just that there seems to be something strange in this calm.

It's like before the storm.

......

Thirteen years later.

The western border, the junction of the Hundred Domains and the Liaotian Fire Plain.

The scorching volcanic terrain is inaccessible, and several volcanoes erupted some time ago, so that now there is hardly any life in sight, and the only thing that moves is the slowly flowing lava river on the ground.

In this picture that seems to be scorched hell, I don't know when, there is an extra figure.

The figure came from the east and walked towards the depths of the Burning Heavens and Flames.

He didn't walk fast, step by step, down-to-earth, and after a while, a river of magma stopped in front of him.

However, he didn't stop, as if he didn't see the hot magma in front of him at all, and walked straight up.

In this way, he stepped on the flowing magma, slowly moving forward, and the magma under his feet did not affect him in any way, nor did he fall into the river of magma, as if he was stepping on the ground, and slowly walked across the river.

It seems that there is only this figure within a radius of thousands of miles.

But in fact, this burning wilderness is not an ownerless wilderness.

The figure had advanced for a few more miles, and then he heard a clear phoenix chirping in the sky.

"Who trespassed into the Burning Heavens and Flames?"

A red light swept across the sky, and it was a divine bird fire phoenix that was burning with flames all over its body.

Flames erupted from the bird's beak and spewed onto the ground in front of the figure, so hot that it melted the hard volcanic rock.

This is a warning.

However, as if it had not been seen, the figure continued to move forward with its feet raised, passing through the flames.

The phoenix flame that was enough to incinerate all things was regarded as nothing by him, and even the corners of his clothes did not burn.

The fire phoenix in the sky was furious and was about to swoop down, but heard a faint voice beside him.

"Chi Lian, stand down. ”

I don't know when, beside Huo Feng, there was a young man in a green shirt.

Seeing the man, the flames on Huofeng's body jumped violently, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, Lord Qingwang." ”

The figure of the man in the green shirt flashed and appeared below, in front of the figure.

The figure finally stopped, staring at the man in the green shirt.

The look of the man in the green shirt was very solemn.

"I didn't expect that on the first day of Shenyan, I would come to my Burning Heaven and Fire Plain today, I don't know what you have to do?"
