To reach Middle Earth Divine Continent, there are only two fastest routes.
The first is Guanxuan Academy.
Guanxuan Academy has a direct teleportation array to Middle Earth Divine Continent. Of course, he could not possibly go to Guanxuan Academy.
Apart from Guanxuan Academy, there is one other way, and that is Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Immortal Treasure Pavilion has built teleportation arrays across all heavens and myriad realms. As long as you are willing to pay, they can send you anywhere you wish to go.
Therefore, he headed straight for Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Standing at the entrance of Immortal Treasure Pavilion was a woman.
This person was none other than Luo Zhaoqi.
Ye Guan looked at Luo Zhaoqi but said nothing.
Luo Zhaoqi smiled. “I knew you would come here.”
Ye Guan replied calmly, “Is there something?”
Luo Zhaoqi nodded slightly. “Two matters. First, the Academy Head hopes you will join Guanxuan Academy, whether in the Upper Realm or Middle Earth Divine Continent.”
Ye Guan remained silent.
Luo Zhaoqi said gravely, “The True Dragon Clan is one of the super overlords of the Demon Realm. They will not target the Ye Clan of South Continent or Guanxuan Academy, but they will certainly pursue you relentlessly.”
Naturally, the True Dragon Clan would not stoop so low as to target the Ye family in South Continent, because doing so would truly damage their prestige.
After all, the incident had become widely known, and countless eyes were watching them.
But Ye Guan was different.
Targeting Ye Guan would be entirely justified. After all, Ye Guan had killed two true dragons.
Ye Guan stared at Luo Zhaoqi. “Have you finished?”
Luo Zhaoqi sighed softly, then continued, “The second matter. My master asked me to apologise on her behalf. As the Academy Head, she failed to stand up for you and uphold justice at the critical moment. It was her…”
“No need.”
Ye Guan suddenly shook his head, then walked into Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Luo Zhaoqi stood in place, silent.
At that moment, Zhao Su suddenly appeared.
Luo Zhaoqi looked at Zhao Su and said softly, “Master…”
Zhao Su replied, “If it were me, I would resent it too.”
Luo Zhaoqi shook her head. “On his journey to Middle Earth Divine Continent, he will face relentless pursuit from the True Dragon Clan. Having slain two true dragons in succession, the True Dragon Clan will never let this blood feud rest.”
Zhao Su fell silent for a moment, then said softly, “This martial examination has also greatly impacted the academy. For so many years, the academy’s reputation has been ruined in a single day.”
Luo Zhaoqi remained silent.
The impact was indeed extremely severe.
Zhao Su gave a self-mocking smile. “Just now, the memorial I submitted to the Guanxuan Academy Main Academy was rejected.”
Luo Zhaoqi frowned slightly. “The True Dragon Clan did it?”
Zhao Su nodded.
Luo Zhaoqi’s expression darkened. “File an imperial complaint.”
Zhao Su shook her head slightly. “As soon as we dare leave the Upper Realm, we will vanish silently from this world.”
Luo Zhaoqi’s face grew grim.
She knew this was entirely possible. A mere Academy Head of a small Upper Realm branch received no real attention from Guanxuan Academy.
File an imperial complaint?
Naive.
Zhao Su looked towards Immortal Treasure Pavilion and said softly, “I am sorry, but I am powerless too.”
With that, she turned and left.
Not every injustice can receive justice.
Luo Zhaoqi glanced once more towards Immortal Treasure Pavilion, shook her head, and thought perhaps she would never see this young man again.
…
After paying one thousand gold crystals, Ye Guan entered the teleportation array leading to Middle Earth Divine Continent.
The array activated, and Ye Guan vanished from it.
Inside the teleportation channel, Ye Guan sat cross-legged. He took out several scrolls.
These were the materials about Middle Earth Divine Continent that he had just purchased at Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Now that he was heading there, he naturally needed to understand the place first. Otherwise, he would arrive completely blind.
Soon, Ye Guan gained a general understanding of Middle Earth Divine Continent.
Middle Earth Divine Continent is a vast world. Beneath it lie three thousand worlds.
The Upper Realm is merely one of them.
From this, one can imagine how immense this place is.
In Middle Earth Divine Continent, the strongest power remains Guanxuan Academy, followed by Immortal Treasure Pavilion, whose chambers span the heavens. Next come the six great super aristocratic families: ranked first, the Undying Emperor Clan; then the Divine Spear Clan, the Divine Clan, the Li Clan, the Nanling Clan.
Besides the six great families, there are two super overlords of the Demon Realm: the True Dragon Clan and the Primordial Ape Clan.
In addition, there exists a thoroughly declined ancient legendary power.
The Dao Gate.
Legend has it that this Dao Gate existed even before Guanxuan Academy was founded, but for unknown reasons it gradually declined and was eventually replaced by Guanxuan Academy.
Beyond these, there are countless large and small aristocratic families and sects.
There is also one special power: the Mercenary Union. Its top mercenary group is called the Guanxuan Mercenary Group. Though it bears the name Guanxuan, it is independent of Guanxuan Academy. The leader of the Guanxuan Mercenary Group is not only the group commander but also the president of the Mercenary Union.
Its power is extremely formidable.
Rumour has it that the leader of the Guanxuan Mercenary Group is acquainted with the Sword Master of Humanity.
Soon afterwards, Ye Guan turned to the second scroll, which recorded information about the Undying Emperor Clan.
Legend says that long ago, the Undying Emperor Clan followed the Sword Master of Humanity. The entire clan nearly perished fighting for him. Later, the Sword Master of Humanity strongly supported the Undying Emperor Clan. With his backing, their strength grew tremendously. They then came to Middle Earth Divine Continent and directly became the foremost among the six great clans.
It is worth mentioning that the mother of the Sword Master of Humanity came from the Undying Emperor Clan.
Because of this connection, although the Undying Emperor Clan has never entered the Guanxuan Universe Main Academy to share in the legendary Great Dao destiny, even the several super clans of the Guanxuan Universe must show them respect.
Over the years, the Undying Emperor Clan has been doing one thing: competing with top powers from countless planes for the qualification to enter the Guanxuan Academy Main Academy.
That is the most famous destiny contest in Middle Earth Divine Continent.
It occurs only once every hundred years.
This destiny contest is tens of thousands of times more brutal than the academy martial examination in the Upper Realm.
Top geniuses from countless worlds will represent their powers to fight for that single slot.
Only one slot.
The winner allows themselves and their power to reside in the Guanxuan Academy Main Academy and enjoy the legendary Great Dao destiny.
The Undying Emperor Clan has been striving for this for tens of thousands of years.
Yet countless generations have failed.
This has led top powers across all universe worlds to frantically search for monstrous geniuses, all for the sake of seizing Great Dao destiny.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Tower Master, if I go to the Undying Emperor Clan, I think they won’t give me the sword that belonged to the Sword Master of Humanity.”
Little Tower replied, “Then what do you think you should do?”
Ye Guan fell silent for a moment, then said, “Could you help me steal it? I’ll return it to them after I finish using it.”
Little Tower was silent for a while, then answered, “I’m afraid not. I cannot act again in the short term.”
Ye Guan sighed softly.
Borrow the sword?
Why would they lend it to him?
Steal?
Without Tower Master acting, he certainly could not.
Rob?
Don’t joke about it.
Even the True Dragon Clan probably would not dare rob the Undying Emperor Clan.
Moreover, as soon as he arrived in Middle Earth Divine Continent, the True Dragon Clan would surely seek fierce revenge against him.
A desperate situation.
Little Tower asked, “Once you reach Middle Earth Divine Continent, what do you plan to do first?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “First find a backer. Relying on my own strength alone, I simply cannot contend with the True Dragon Clan. Therefore, I must first find a backer to help me oppose them. Let the old fight the old, the young fight the young. Otherwise, the pressure on me will be too great.”
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes. “In this world, without a backer, it is truly too difficult to survive. Therefore, I must work even harder. If I cannot be a powerful second generation, then I will become a powerful first generation.”
Little Tower: “…”
