When talking about the Tianshu Empire, it had to be said that the Tianshu Empire was once a legend of the Eastern Divine Region, or even a legend of the entire Dongxuan Continent.
Several thousand years ago, when the Tianshu Empire was in its prime, the vast territory unified the entire Eastern Divine Region.
At that time, the ruler of the Tianshu Empire was also known as the greatest emperor in history!
To this day, other than him, no other empire in the Eastern Divine Region could claim the title of emperor.
It was a pity that this number one great Emperor of history was too ambitious. Not only did he have the ambition to rule the Eastern Divine Region, he also had the ambition to rule the entire Eastern Xuan Continent!
And now, it had declined to become a small unremarkable empire in the Eastern Divine Region. It was precisely because of this great Emperor's ambition that the entire continent joined hands to resist it.
Rather than saying that this empire was a legend, it would be more accurate to say that the greatest emperor in history was a true legend, daring to make enemies with the entire world!
This was what was truly worthy of admiration!
Beidou Academy was the first Academy that was established at that time in the Tianshu Empire, and also the first Academy that was established in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.
Not only did the Beidou Academy have a long history, it was also the academy used by the Tianshu Imperial Family during the glory days of the Tianshu Empire.
As a result, the Beidou Academy was still famous today. Even though the once greatest power of the Eastern Xuan Continent, the Tianshu Empire, no longer existed.
However, this academy had not declined for a long time. Even the declining Tianshu Empire had not perished.
It was also because of this ancient academy that they were able to pass on their legacy. In the middle of the Eastern Divine Region was a place of attack, and it allowed the royal family to continue existing.
When Xu Chen's figure appeared on the Imperial Array patterns of the Tianshu Empire, it was already late at night.
The moment Xu Chen appeared, the guard soldiers immediately came to register him.
Entering the Eastern Divine Region required specialized registration, which was set up by the once glorious Tianshu Empire. Today, the various empires have continued to exist.
Fortunately, when Xu Chen was in the Southern Tang Empire, Lin Yueting had forged a fake identity for him before he left.
Although the Southern Tang Empire was only an insignificant small empire in the Eastern Divine Region, it was still a part of the Eastern Divine Region's empire.
Thus, when he was registering, he saved Xu Chen a lot of trouble.
After Xu Chen came out, he stood on the street of this ancient imperial city and looked at it.
The streets were covered in jade rocks and were engraved with beautiful engravings. Just this point, the Southern Tang Empire could not be compared to it at all.
Standing on this desolate street, Xu Chen could still clearly feel the former glory of this empire.
Although the severe winter had passed, Xu Chen still felt a little cool on this deserted street.
Xu Chen took out a cloak from his storage ring and put it on. He was not used to using his divine power to ward off the cold. It could be that he was used to being an ordinary person.
However, when Xu Chen put on his cloak, he discovered that there were two people sitting in front of a shop on the street. One was big and the other was small.
He didn't look like much on this deserted street, but he looked very lonely. He looked like two pitiful people living on the street.
The two were none other than Su Xiaoyue and Xu Shengyan. Due to the darkness, Xu Chen could only see their rough outlines.
However, in the darkness, the two pairs of sparkling eyes seemed especially bright.
Xu Chen walked towards them, and they too stood up in the darkness.
However, before Xu Chen could say anything, Su Xiao Yue jumped into his embrace.
"Xu Chen, we've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"You've only just arrived, you don't know how worried we are about you!" Su Xiaoyue said with a hint of a sob in her voice.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xu Chen gently patted Su Xiao Yue's back to comfort her.
"We thought that you wouldn't come. If you didn't come tomorrow, we would have gone back to the Southern Tang Empire to look for you." As Su Xiaoyue spoke, she tightened her grip on Xu Chen.
"I already said that I only wanted you to come over first. I won't lie to you." Xu Chen was a person who did not know how to comfort others.
"Big brother, you have to hug me even if you want to smoke!" Xu Shengyan, who was at the side, looked at Xu Chen with her pair of large, cute eyes. She then opened her arms.
Looking at Xu Shengyan's arm, Su Xiaoyue reluctantly left Xu Chen's embrace.
"Alright, let me hug you." As Xu Chen spoke, he picked up Xu Shengyan. Her hands were somewhat cold.
Xu Chen's brow creased slightly. He felt some heartache for Xu Shengyan, and then he released his divine power and wrapped it around her.
"Haven't you found a place to stay?" Xu Chen asked Su Xiaoyue.
"It's all your fault. We were afraid that you wouldn't be able to find us, so we waited here for you. Where did you find a place to rest?" Su Xiao Yue pouted.
"Alright, I came too late." Xu Chen said apologetically, "Then let's go find a place to stay."
In the end, the imperial city couldn't be compared to the unremarkable and small town. Even if it was late at night, there were still pubs that hadn't closed yet.
As such, it was easy for the three of them to find a tavern to stay in. The tavern wasn't big, and Xu Chen and the others weren't picky so they decided to stay there.
The next morning, Su Xiao Yue couldn't wait to go to the academy.
Thus, he pulled Xu Chen along early in the morning and went out. After a few inquiries, they finally saw the entrance of the Northern Dipper Academy at the most inconspicuous place in the capital.
The Northern Dipper Academy was located in the northwest district of the Tianshu Imperial City, and could be said to be the most secluded place within the capital.
This academy took up a huge amount of land. A long wall made of white rocks stretched all the way to the horizon, making people feel as if they couldn't see the end of it.
The wall was covered with evergreen vines, making it seem very quiet and serene, with a strong aura of accumulation.
On the other hand, the interior of the academy was filled with many attics, which made it seem like a small city.
"Wow, Beidou Academy's really big!" Su Xiaoyue was excited when she saw the academy. She said, "Just think about it! I'll be excited if I can study martial arts here in the future!"
"Xu Chen, let's go in quickly." Su Xiaoyue excitedly pulled Xu Chen into the academy.
Xu Chen did not say much. The Big Dipper had the reputation of the number one academy in the Eastern Xuan Continent. Its requirements towards its students were extremely strict.
Other than the royal family disciples of the Tianshu Empire, no matter which force in the East Profound Continent they were, if they wanted to enter the Beidou Academy, they had to pass a strict examination!
Xu Chen was rather worried about Su Xiao Yue, even though she knew Su Xiao Yue was very hardworking in martial arts.
However, this did not mean that she would definitely pass the exam.
Just as they entered the entrance of the Northern Dipper Academy, there was a small room to the left. Inside the room sat a twenty year old young man.
"Who are you guys? Don't you know this is the Northern Dipper Academy? Why are you barging in so recklessly?" The young man called out to the three of them.
"I'm sorry, we are not here to barge in. We are here to participate in the Beidou Academy's student recruitment test." Su Xiao Yue walked over apologetically.
"Recruitment?" The young man looked at Su Xiaoyue with disdain and said, "Come back in two months."
The young man wasn't polite, and Su Xiaoyue didn't dare to say anything more even if she asked. She asked carefully, "How long is the specific time?"
"It's only been two months. Why are you so annoying? If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and leave." The young man said impatiently.
But at this moment, a pair of young men and women walked out from the Northern Dipper Academy.
Among them, the most eye-catching was that young youth. He looked to be in his early twenties. He was handsome, but he had a head full of white hair.
His face was extremely pale, and even the skin color on his lips was very pale. It was as if there was not the slightest bit of blood in his body.
He did not look flirtatious, but more like someone who had been ill for a long time.
Just as the two of them reached the entrance, the youth with a pale white body said to the young man in the small house, "Be more courteous to the visitors in the future. Don't let others think that our Beidou Academy is arrogant and despotic."
"Good, good, good. This little one will remember." The young man in the house nodded with a fawning expression.
