Finally, the day of departure arrived. Out of nearly five million inner sect disciples, over one million had signed up to join the Jialin Immortal Land.
Looking at these excited disciples full of longing for the Jialin Immortal Land, feeling as if entering the Jialin Immortal Land could bring treasures, Long Chen secretly shook his head.
The academy's attitude was truly straightforward—letting things take their course. Among these more than a million disciples, some were truly average in strength. Once inside, if a fight broke out, the chances of survival were extremely low.
Moreover, these people have unfocused eyes, unable to see any gleam of determination. They are not true warriors. When the threat of death looms, under such high pressure, how much strength can they really exert?
However, the academy had already told all the inner disciples about the dangers, and obviously, many people didn't take the academy's words seriously.
Long Chen recalled what the old sweeper had said: sometimes fate is hard to change. You may help him once, but you can't help him for a lifetime.
If he was destined to grow, then if he suffered losses, he should act early. The academy would not give disciples too much, but it would also not interfere with their free development. So, although the academy's attitude seemed somewhat indifferent, it was actually a kind of wisdom.
Long Chen couldn't understand it before, but later, he gradually realized that the academy's attitude was also in accordance with the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Although he somewhat disagreed, he had to admit that following the Heavenly Dao always led to a longer life.
Although Long Chen felt the old sweeper's words were right—he had doubted himself at the time—but soon he realized his attitude wasn't wrong either.
Because everyone pursues different things: the academy's attitude is to last forever, while Long Chen's attitude is to be a fleeting firework. As long as the firework is bright enough, he will unleash all his power. Even if everything disappears after the fireworks end, he will have no regrets.
After the vice dean gave a brief encouragement and reminder, millions of inner disciples stepped onto the teleportation array. To Long Chen's surprise, the leader this time was actually Chu Huairen.
Long Chen's expression changed slightly. What does the academy mean by this? He actually assigned him to lead the team—was this deliberate effort to make things difficult for him?
But Long Chen said nothing on the surface. The order of entry was arranged by Chu Huairen, and he even saw a sinister smile deep in Chu Huairen's eyes.
Soon, Long Chen understood what his smile meant, because the academy disciples were teleported out in batches and entered the Jialin Immortal Land by flying boat.
Yet Long Chen's Luomen, where Long Chen belonged, set out together with some guilds like Melting Sky Valley and Chu Alliance. Aside from Melting Sky Valley and Chu Alliance, most other guilds were basically their allies and were extremely unfriendly toward Luomen.
Moreover, the Xiaoyao Alliance was assigned to a different group, deliberately separating them and putting Long Chen under the watchful eyes of all enemies.
"Long Chen, how can the academy do this? Should we ...?" Luo Bing's face was full of anger. The academy was completely confused. What did this mean? She wanted to make a statement, but it was practically a death trap.
"No need, I understand what the academy means." Long Chen shook his head, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. He led everyone into the teleportation array, disappearing into the vast array.
Master Dongming and Master Yunyang stood together, watching Long Chen's disappearing figure. Master Dongming shook his head: "I really don't get it. What are the higher-ups up to? Aren't they afraid Long Chen will be so disheartened?" Master
Yunyang smiled: "Heartbroken?" No, no, no, Long Chen definitely wouldn't feel disheartened; on the contrary, he would feel grateful. "
...
"Whoosh"
Long Chen and the others were teleported to the summit of a high mountain, surrounded by mist and a vast white expanse as if this was the end of the world, filled with desolation and weariness.
At the end of the mist, a star could be seen slowly rising, drawing closer and larger to everyone, radiating auspicious light for thousands of miles, enveloping the entire world.
This is the Jialin Immortal Land, a lost world, a star whose lineage has suddenly been severed, a place full of unknowns.
When that star appeared, the first group of strong warriors led by Bai Shishi rushed straight toward it, followed by the second and third batches.
Long Chen was in the fourth batch. As he approached the star, space began to distort. The star had its own force field. Long Chen sensed that the flow of time here was different from the Immortal Realm, but whether it was fast or slow, he couldn't tell.
Long Chen suddenly remembered that after entering the Immortal Realm, his age was clearly different from that of the Tianwu Continent, which might also be related to the flow of time.
The laws of the Tianwu Continent are incomplete, and this Jialin Immortal Land is no exception—it is a broken star.
The disciples of Lingxiao Academy piloted their flying boats, rushing rapidly toward the Jialin Immortal Land. Suddenly, the boat Long Chen was on trembled violently, and a loud explosion came from the stern.
The stern of their flying boat was actually knocked down by another flying boat, causing their vessel's speed to slow down significantly.
"Courting death!"
Luo Ning was furious, recognizing the flying boat as the one from the Third Great Alliance's Rong Tian Valley.
"Sorry, there was a mistake in operation." Longyan Sect's lazy voice came, utterly unapologetic, instead full of provocation.
"They sabotage our flying boat, slow us down, and make it impossible for us to escape. They're planning to tear off our pretense and fight us here." Luo Bing's expression grew serious.
At this moment, Luomen's flying vessel was quickly left behind by other vessels, while the one in front had already rushed into the territory of Jialin Immortal Land and immediately spread out, forming an encirclement formation.
After entering the Jialin Immortal Land, the previous groups of experts sped off and immediately began their treasure hunt. Only Longyan Sect, Chu Yang, and the others slowed down.
"Bastard, are they really that brazen?" Luo Ning gritted her teeth, her eyes nearly shooting fire. She felt that Chu Yang and the others had the academy's tacit permission to deal with them. The academy was just too despicable.
"Obviously, the academy's leadership has definitely been bribed by the Chu family. We've fallen into a trap. Now, we have no choice but to fight to the death." Luo Bing took a deep breath, and his blood began to circulate slowly, preparing for battle.
However, facing so many powerful opponents at once, although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was filled with nervousness, and she couldn't help but glance at Long Chen.
Long Chen, however, wore a smile, seemingly in an especially good mood: "You must have confidence in the academy. The academy's leadership is definitely not someone the idiots of the Chu family can bribe."
On the contrary, we should thank the college for giving us such a great opportunity.
Luo Ning, detonate the speed rune and crash into the flying boat in Molten Sky Valley. Today, let's start off strong. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he flashed onto the flying boat. At Long Chen's command, the stern of the vessel suddenly exploded, and the slow vessel shot toward the Lavender Valley's vessel like lightning.
"Hahaha, Long Chen, are you trying to take us down with you? Dream on. "The mocking laughter of the Longyan Sect rang out, and suddenly formation patterns appeared on their flying boat.
"Boom!"
The flying boats collided, but the formation patterns blocked them, and the terrifying force neutralized them. The two flying boats met no more than a hundred zhang apart.
"Mutual destruction?" You think you're worthy? At
that moment, Long Chen's cold laugh rang out, like a divine mockery. At the same time, a sharp blow was givenThe thousand-zhang giant sword, filled with endless flame power, roared down as it slashed down on the flying vessel.
"Boom!"
The runes on the Melting Sky Valley flying boat could block its impact, but they couldn't stop the fiery divine weapon fused from ten thousand Heaven-Shattering Swords. With a loud explosion, the flying boat was split in two. The disciples inside the flying boat didn't even have a chance to scream before being blasted to ashes.
"Thank you, academy, for giving me this chance to go on a massacre." Long Chen's face was filled with cold killing intent, as if a sleeping dragon had awakened in rage.
The flying boat in Rongtian Valley was cut in two, and only one person escaped—the Longyan Sect. His face was filled with shock and anger. Before he could speak, Long Chen was already stepping through the void toward him.
"Weren't you going to fight me? Today, I'll make it happen for you. "
