Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 495: Chapter 491: Ye Chenyu, the Creation Academy’s Trial

The mountain peak was thousands of feet high, like a sword piercing straight into the Nine Heavens.

Celestial Sword Peak.

Legend had it that this peak was formed from the Treasure Sword of a peerless expert.

At this moment, the many members of the younger generation atop the peak were visibly excited.

”I can’t believe our Six Eastern Provinces have a connection to the Creation Academy in the Celestial Domain.”

”I already heard from my Sect Leader. The Creation Academy is one of the Five Great Institutes in the Celestial Domain, a Top Level power. If we can get in, it’s like ascending to the heavens in a single step.”

”The Celestial Domain... it’s a place everyone yearns for. I heard that the legendary Golden Cicada became a Celestial King in the Celestial Domain a thousand years ago.”

The many youths chattered among themselves.

The Seven Great Super Sects had each sent five or six members of their younger generation, all of them the most outstanding talents within their respective Sects.

However, they had already been told by their Sect Leaders that only a precious few would likely have the chance to enter the Creation Academy.

’I hope the Creation Academy chooses me. Then I’ll have the chance to see the Celestial Domain for myself!’

The members of the younger generation were all tense, and this was no exception even for the number one disciples of their respective Sects, like Yan Qingxue and Xia Tianyu.

”Although we don’t know if we’ll be chosen, those two will definitely get into the Creation Academy,”

someone whispered, their gaze falling upon two figures.

One of them was a young man wearing a Jade Crown. His mere presence was enough to exude a sense of pressure.

This was none other than the Sword King Body, Ling Tianxu!

In his past battle with Ning Jiang, Ling Tianxu’s physical body had been completely destroyed. But now, not only had it been reformed, but his aura was also far more powerful than before.

With the Celestial Sword Sect’s profound resources, countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and the Celestial Sword King’s assistance, reforming a physical body was not a difficult task.

The Ling Tianxu of today had reined in much of the sharp, ever-present aura he once possessed.

But this restraint was like a Divine Sword hidden in its Sword Scabbard. With its edge concealed, this containment made him even more terrifying, for no one knew how sharp the blade would be once it was unleashed.

However, Ling Tianxu wasn’t receiving much of the attention here.

Most gazes were fixed on a woman whose white robes were purer than snow.

She was tall and slender with a head of silver hair. As her robes fluttered, she looked like a fairy descended to the mortal realm, her aura noble and transcendent. She wore a veil, and though her face was obscured, everyone knew that beneath it must lie a world-toppling, peerless beauty.

Compared to her, even Yan Qingxue, who had long been known as the number one beauty of the younger generation, seemed to pale in comparison.

Ye Chenyu of the Moon God Palace.

Born with Heavy Pupils!

One possessed the Sword King Body, the other the Heavy Pupils. There was no doubt that these two would enter the Creation Academy.

As for the others, like Jian Jiuge and Yan Qingxue, their chances were less certain.

”The people from the Creation Academy will arrive shortly. Work hard. This is your chance to soar to the heavens!”

The Primordial King turned around and said gravely.

”Yes,”

everyone replied.

”They’re here.”

Just then, the Celestial Sword King at the front opened his eyes and looked ahead.

”My gods, is that a bird?”

When the crowd looked over, the disciples could not hide their shock.

In their line of sight, a great cyan Roc flew toward them with its wings spread. Its body was so enormous it was like an island, its presence earth-shattering.

This Qingtian Roc stopped a hundred zhang away from Celestial Sword Peak, and the gale it kicked up nearly blew everyone off their feet.

”We welcome the Creation Academy.”

The Seven Great Kings stepped forward, cupped their fists, and bowed.

Facing a behemoth like the Creation Academy, even they, the Kings, had to show respect.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH.

A dozen or so figures walked out from the palace on the Qingtian Roc’s back. A tyrannical aura pressed down, blanketing the area. All of them—every single one—were Kings!

And the one standing at the very front, leading them, was none other than the Third Elder.

”No need for such pleasantries. You seven have rendered a service by providing talent for our Creation Academy. Come up and speak,” the Third Elder said with a wave of his hand.

”It would be disrespectful to refuse.”

The seven Kings exchanged a glance, then flew up to stand with the Third Elder and the others.

”Your Sect Leaders should have already told you what kind of existence the Creation Academy is. The rule is simple: if you want to enter, you just have to be able to get up here!” the Third Elder said coolly, sweeping his large sleeve.

’Just get up there?’

The gazes of the younger generation sharpened. The condition sounded simple, but it was clear that achieving it would not be easy.

”I’ll give it a try.”

Someone couldn’t resist and shot forward.

WHOOSH.

He was incredibly fast, channeling all the Power in his body as he charged.

But just as he got within a hundred zhang, an immense gust of wind blew him away.

”So that’s how it is!”

Everyone instantly understood the key to the problem. The hurricane-force winds kicked up by the flapping wings of the Qingtian Roc were not something just anyone could withstand.

One had to understand, this Qingtian Roc was a Celestial Martial Realm Demon Beast!

”My turn.”

Instantly, several figures shot out, each of them wielding a Magical Treasure.

But as soon as they neared the Qingtian Roc, they were blown away by the hurricane winds. The better ones among them only lasted for a few breaths before they could no longer hold on.

”Hmph, useless!”

A figure snorted coldly and strode forward. It was Xia Tianyu of the Primordial Sect.

Xia Tianyu’s body surged with a torrent of Blood Qi that rose like wolf smoke. He charged forward like a falling meteorite, incomparably fierce.

He plunged into the Wind Circle and began walking step by step toward the cluster of palaces on the Qingtian Roc’s back.

The closer he got, the slower he became. By the time he was only thirty zhang away, his body was already swaying, as if about to be blown off.

”Primordial Giant Spirit Body!”

Xia Tianyu roared, and his body suddenly expanded, growing to a size of a hundred zhang.

After activating his Primordial Giant Spirit Body, he managed to walk another twenty-odd zhang, but the last few zhang were nearly his limit!

WHOOSH!

His body was instantly blown away.

”I don’t believe this!”

Xia Tianyu’s eyes became bloodshot. He charged again and again, but each time, he was blown away just a few zhang from the end.

Seeing this, Jian Jiuge and the others grew heavy-hearted. Their strength was comparable to Xia Tianyu’s. If even he couldn’t make it up there, wouldn’t they be in trouble too?

”Let me have a try.”

Jian Jiuge, Zhi Tianhou, Yan Qingxue, and the others each unleashed their strongest techniques, trying to charge onto the Qingtian Roc.

But just like Xia Tianyu, they were all stopped a few zhang away. Jian Jiuge made it the farthest, with only a single zhang left, but for the life of him, he could not cross it.

”If even they can’t make it, we have no hope at all.”

The other disciples looked on in despair. They now understood that the Creation Academy was not a place they were destined to reach.

”Perhaps only those two can make it up there?”

The crowd’s gazes turned to Ling Tianxu and Ye Chenyu.

SHING!

Ling Tianxu took a step forward, transforming into a world-shocking streak of sword light as he shot forward.
