Chapter 289: The Storm Began (2/2)

Superb geniuses — one after another — came to the academy and became its students.

Not long after, a young man rode the wind to arrive with a sacred light that encompa.s.sed a huge area. This young man walked slowly, but he was like a saint opening the path. He was protected by many sages and a divine light surrounded his body. He was like the son of the heavens, descending down to earth.

Seeing this man, many young people who came to sign up, and even the cultivators from the previous generation, were amazed.

“Zu Huangwu!”

“Great Child Yao Guang, Zu Huangwu, the descendant of the Brilliance Ancient Kingdom! He also came to sign up!?” [2. Zu Huangwu = Martial Emperor, Yao Guang = Brilliance.]

Another peerless demonsp.a.w.n came to sign up. In just a split second, many students who came felt a much greater pressure.

Great Child Yao Guang, the descendant of the Brilliance Ancient Kingdom.

Brilliance Ancient Kingdom — one sect, two emperors. As the descendant of an Ancient Kingdom, his influence was great.

Everyone took a deep breath; with such a great rival, there will not be boredom inside the academy.

Zu Huangwu already increased everyone’s pressure, but he was not necessarily the most devilish student.

On another registration day, dragon roars emanated across the academy as if heavenly dragons were rampaging, generating rain and winds and creating a majestic presence as if a member of the dragon race was arriving.

Someone found out what happened: “The descendant of the Crouching Dragon Cliff from the Northern Great Sea came to the academy!”

This news surprised many sect masters and royal lords. One sect master couldn’t help but murmur: “People from the Northern Great Sea actually came despite such a distance — truly unbelievable.”

Within half a year of registration, many sects from the Grand Middle Territory, Northern Grand Sea, Southern Crimson Earth, and Western Desolate Wasteland all brought people here to enroll.

On another day, a G.o.dly mountain suddenly appeared in the sky with divine circular lights hovering about, carrying an extremely domineering presence.

“The descendant of the Rampaging Divine Mountain also came to the academy!”

Another demonsp.a.w.n became a student at the Heavenly Dao Academy.

This situation caused many people to become dumbfounded.

“This is too weird, this is not the first time the academy accepted students. The majority of the students are usually from the Eastern Hundred Cities. Why are people from other regions also arriving?”

The recruitment was no longer confined to the Eastern Hundred Cities, and this caused many people to look with widened eyes.

A few masters and royal lords were debating this matter: “This is the ushering of a new golden era. Only when Second Sage was in charge of the academy would there be so many geniuses throughout the world arriving; even geniuses from the Nine Worlds also came after hearing his prestige.”

However, there was another explosive piece of news. “G.o.ddess Mei has enrolled in the academy!” Mei Suyao of the Eternal River School had also joined the academy.

“Impossible!” People were aghast after hearing this information.

Eternal River School — one sect, three emperors. There were not many heritages comparable to it. Mei Suyao was the chosen one from the school to enter this world, and there was no need for further discussions regarding her. The Eternal River School’s inner strength could even be stronger than the Heavenly Dao Academy, but Mei Suyao still enrolled. This was the cause for many people’s astonishment.

“What is actually happening?” Cultivators who were not aware of inside information became quite confused at the situation.

Not many days have pa.s.sed after Mei Suyao’s enrollment when another heavyweight character emerged.

That day, a person came down from the sky. This person came alone but the myriad of laws were his followers. One step caused the grand dao to shake, one step to become the ruler of the heaven and earth. In just a moment, the sun and moon lost their colors; his step alone trampled the mountains and rivers. Existences in the places trod by him were s.h.i.+vering as if a G.o.d had descended to the mortal world.

He had not yet arrived at the academy but someone had already shouted: “Deity is here!”
