Chapter 71: Land Of Hundred Refinements!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The main courtyard of the Hidden Dao Academy was located in the Central Region’s Hidden Dao Mountain.
As for the Hidden Path Mountain, it was said to have been passed down from ancient times.
It was rumored that the Hidden Dao Mountain contained the Intent Realm everywhere. As long as one had enough opportunities, they could comprehend it.
As for the first Dean of the Hidden Dao Academy, he had attained the Dao in the Hidden Dao Mountain and appeared out of nowhere in the central region!
From there, he established the Hidden Dao Academy.
The Northern Region’s Sword Crown arrived with Ye Qiubai.
Shi Sheng from the eastern region and Zhang He from the western region.
The four of them gathered again.
Jian Chaomian looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “You’ve reached the Sea Flow Realm? Shall we spar again when the time comes?”
Jian Chaomian had completely comprehended Sword Intent.
He had even reached the Peak Stage Sea Flow Realm.
He naturally wanted to spar with Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded.
Shi Sheng smiled and said, “You’re already at the Sea Flow Realm. I reckon we’re even less of a match for you.”
Zhang He was still smiling and didn’t say anything.
However, ever since the exchange between the four regions, his aura had become even more restrained.
At this moment, a man walked over.
The man’s expression was cold. He looked at the four of them and said, “Are you from the super monastery? Follow me.”
His tone was extremely indifferent!
The four of them did not mind.
She followed the man forward.
As the man walked, he said, “In the Main Academy, the rules might be different from yours. You have to pay attention. In the Main Academy, there are two forbidden areas that are absolutely not allowed to enter.
The first was the Ancestral Mountain, which was the place where the Supreme Elders cultivated.
“The second is the Daoseeker Mountain. Only those with enough points can enter.”
Shi Sheng asked curiously, “What kind of place is Daoseeker Mountain?”
The man glanced at him and seemed to be a little impatient. He explained, “The Daoseeker Mountain is a place to seek immortality and seek the Dao. After breaking through to the Qianyuan Realm, you can feel the Dao in it. I don’t know much more.”
Hearing that, Shi Sheng and the others were surprised.
Intent Realm could greatly increase a person’s combat strength.
For example, Ye Qiubai and Jian Chaomian’s sword intent!
These were things that could only be encountered by luck and not sought after.
And in Daoseeker Mountain, there was a chance to comprehend it.
Shi Sheng sighed in his heart.
As expected of the Central Main Academy, it had such a deep foundation!
The man continued, “Next, you can choose to join the various halls. Other than discussing the Dao, there are three trial grounds.
They were respectively Spirit Refinement, Body Refinement, and Hundred Refinement.
The Spirit Refinement was to cultivate the soul, the Body Refinement was to train the body, and the Hundred Refinements Land was the place for actual combat.
“At the same time, there will be a ranking list in the trial grounds. The top 10 can obtain points. If you obtain points, you can exchange them for items or a chance to enter the Daoseeker Mountain.”
He arrived at his residence as he spoke.
Jian Chaomian and Ye Qiubai’s cave abode were similar and belonged to the Sword Hall.
Shi Sheng and Zhang He were in the martial hall.
They rested for a while
and gathered together.
Shi Sheng looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “Zhang He and I are going to take a look at the place of body refinement first. What about the two of you?”
Ye Qiubai and Jian Chaomian looked at each other.
Jian Chaomian said, “I’m preparing to go to the Land of Hundred Refinements. Brother Ye, shall we go together?”
Ye Qiubai nodded. He had the same thought.
Immediately after, Jian Chaomian pulled out his sword and smiled. “Let’s spar before we go? I want to see how big the gap between us is.”
Ye Qiubai nodded and took out his wooden sword.
Shi Sheng and Zhang He took a step back.
Jian Chaomian narrowed his eyes and slashed at Ye Qiubai with his sword!
The Sword Intent also filled the cave abode!
Now, Jian Chaomian’s sword intent was different from before. It was much stronger than before!
The strength of a Peak Stage Sea Flow Realm was also revealed!
After all, he couldn’t be judged by common sense when facing Ye Qiubai!
Shi Sheng looked at this scene and couldn’t help but sigh. “Jian Chaomian’s strength has improved a lot. I’m afraid I can’t withstand a single strike from him now.”
Zhang He still had a smile on his face. “My Buddhist Vajra Body probably won’t be able to withstand this strike either.”
Ye Qiubai’s expression didn’t change when he saw this. Sword Intent rose on the wooden sword.
Then, he swung his sword.
The Sword Intent turned into sword beams and slashed at Jian Chaomian’s Sword Intent!
It looked ordinary, but the sharpness contained in it would shock anyone!
Jian Chaomian was the same. Sensing the sharp Sword Intent, his expression changed slightly!
Then, without dodging, he slashed over!
The collision between Sword Intent and Sword Intent!
However, Jian Chaomian’s sword intent was like rotten wood, unable to withstand a single blow!
It was directly slashed apart by Ye Qiubai’s sharp Sword Intent!
Jian Chaomian retreated slightly, and Ye Qiubai stopped in time.
Seeing this, Jian Chaomian smiled bitterly and said, “I thought that after comprehending the Sword Intent and stepping into the late-stage of the Qi Sea realm, I would be able to shorten the gap between us. I didn’t expect it to become bigger and bigger.”
While Jian Chaomian improved, Ye Qiubai improved even more.
Moreover, Ye Qiubai’s sword intent had long reached the level of a Great Sword Master. How could Jian Chaomian’s new sword intent compare?
Shi Sheng lamented, “Who would have thought that the Southern Region that we looked down on back then would have such a talented person like Brother Ye?”
Zhang He also nodded in agreement and said, “I really want to meet Brother Ye’s master. Who exactly can train such an outstanding disciple like Brother Ye?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “My master? He looks like he has nothing to do, but his ability is the best I’ve ever seen.”
“Then when the time comes, Brother Ye must introduce us!”
“That depends on Master’s mood.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s go and take a look at the trial grounds. Let’s see what’s so outstanding about the talents of the Main Academy!”
With that, Shi Sheng and Zhang He headed to the place of body tempering.
Jian Chaomian followed Ye Qiubai to the Land of Hundred Refinements.
The Land of Hundred Refinements was located in a valley in the mountains.
Around the rift valley, many disciples stopped to watch.
They were looking at a black stone tablet in front of them!
There were ten names engraved on the stone tablet. Clearly, this was the so-called ranking.
The first place had the words Guan Zongyan engraved on it!
Behind Guan Zongyan’s name was the 47th floor.
“What does the 47th floor mean?”
Jian Chaomian asked doubtfully.
Someone at the side heard it and explained out of enthusiasm, “New disciple, right? This place is divided into 50 levels. The lower you go, the stronger the magical beasts that appear!”
Another person said, “No one has stepped into the last three levels for a hundred years. I wonder if Senior Brother Guan can…”
“However, since you’re new disciples, it’s best if you go to the first five levels to cultivate. After the fifth level, the magical beasts will be very strong. You have to do your best.”
Jian Chaomian smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
With that, the two of them looked at each other and walked towards the rift valley..
