The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 285: The Gathering of Geniuses from the Four Major Academies!

Qianji Pavilion was located not far from the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

The students who had accumulated substantial Tianwei points could exchange them for necessities at the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

Meanwhile, the top ten young talents among the new students followed Tong Chengtai to Qianji Pavilion.

"Ling Feng, keep it up!"

As Ling Feng passed by Lin Xian'er, she winked at him. She felt happy for Ling Feng.

Ling Feng pursed his lips and replied with a faint smile. He owed her a favor for assistance during the case of manipulated scores!

Before long, the group arrived at Qianji Pavilion.

Qianji referred to myriad changes and unpredictability, embodying the unfathomable mysteries of the heavens, thus earning its name.

Within Qianji Pavilion lie the culmination of research into the myriad wonders and mysteries of the heavens and earth, overseen by the Tianwei Academy.

Hence, it had all the pathways to various secret realms, perilous terrains, and sacred sites established by predecessors.

Guiding the ten students, Tong Chengtai strode purposefully towards the entrance of the secret realm within the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder before finally halting.

"We've arrived."

Ye Nanfeng, clearly familiar with Qianji Pavilion, smirked and turned to Ling Feng. "Ling Feng, this is your first encounter with a teleportation passage, isn't it?"

"Um..." Ling Feng touched his nose lightly. "I suppose."

In reality, the array he used to depart from the Misty Ghost Forest could be regarded as a type of teleportation array. He even possessed a special token enabling one-way teleportation back to the Misty Ghost Forest.

Li Bufan, on the other hand, stood at the back of the group with a frosty expression, seeming unwilling to accompany anyone.

Tong Chengtai took out a golden token from his pocket and approached the stone monument marking the entrance to the secret realm. He gently inserted it, and with a flash of light, layers of halos shimmered, distorting the surroundings. Before long, they found themselves inside a dark passage.

Then, Tong Chengtai waved his hand, summoning ten sparkling golden talisman papers that flew towards each student.

"Each of you, take a return talisman. Once you exit the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, you can activate it to immediately return to Qianji Pavilion. You'll find yourselves back here in two or three days at most."

"Understood," the group replied, carefully securing their return talismans. Losing this treasured item would mean navigating through the perilous lands of Yijian Sect in Dongling Region to return to Tianwei Academy... Hehe, given their strength, the outcome of that journey might be dicey at best.

"That's a good plan," Ling Feng said as he secured his return talisman. With this, when he returned, he could join the practice match Captain Gu Tengfeng was working to arrange.

North Court's second team, I'll be back!

"Alright, students, enter one by one. Best of luck to all of you!"

As Tong Chengtai spoke, the teleportation passage faintly emitted a suction force, drawing all the students inside.

In the blink of an eye, everyone entered the mysterious gateway, and on the other side lay the legendary Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.

"Ah, if only I had known that the grand commandant's family had already made arrangements, why would I have needlessly subjected myself to deceitful acts?"

Watching Li Bufan's figure fade away, Tong Chengtai sighed lightly, and then turned to leave Qianji Pavilion. This group of elite students should begin to return to Tianwei Academy in no later than three days.

Of course, if they couldn't return, it would mean they had perished.

After all, the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, despite being a land of great opportunity, also concealed dangers.

Opportunity often walked hand in hand with peril.

...

The surroundings were dim, and faintly, a strange ripple could be felt.

This kind of ripple, as teachers had explained in class, was known as a space-time tide.

Even the most stable teleportation passages couldn't avoid space-time tides; it was just a matter of their strength.

The darkness didn't linger for long. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared, signaling the students’ arrival at the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder!

One by one, the students emerged from the teleportation passage. Outside, they found themselves in a world tinted with blood-red hues.

The sky boasted billowing red clouds, while the earth appeared soaked in blood, a deep crimson hue saturating the soil.

This place was the remnants of the once-powerful Yijian Sect.

Ahead, a vast lake sprawled before them, stretching for countless miles. Its waters, tinged with an eerie crimson hue like blood, obscured everything beneath its surface.

Despite its tranquil appearance, this kind of lake often concealed hidden dangers.

"Ling Feng, just stick with me for now. I still have some knowledge about the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder," Ye Nanfeng grinned.

Being a sky-tier student, he had spent several years at Tianwei Academy, naturally gaining some understanding of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.

As for the first-ranked Jun Moxie, he remained silent and flew towards the large lake ahead.

The other students quickly followed suit.

As the winner of the Hunting Competition, Jun Moxie was subtly acknowledged as the leader by all.

Glancing around, Ling Feng noticed dozens of martial artists gathered along the lakeside, divided into three groups based on their attire.

Clearly, they were students from Zhenlong Academy, Hailan Academy, and Wenyuan Academy.

These individuals were undoubtedly top-tier geniuses, each possessing forty or even fifty meridians.

"Hmph, you folks from Tianwei Academy are always so full of yourselves, showing up late every time!"

The leader of the Zhenlong Academy camp mocked with cold words.

"As the leading academy, what's inappropriate about us making the final appearance among the four?" Jun Moxie stood his ground, his eyes flashing with determination, with him emanating an air of authority without anger.

"Such arrogance!"

The genius from Zhenlong Academy retorted indignantly, "Just a mere Tianwei Academy dares to proclaim itself as the leader among the four major academies? Hmph, your Tianwei Academy's sword team has long been pushed back by our senior brother, Yan Jinghong! And yet, you still have the nerve to claim to be first?"

Yan Jinghong, the pride of Zhenlong Academy, was the reason for their current glory. His presence had elevated Zhenlong Academy to its current status, even to the point where they didn't regard Tianwei Academy highly.

"The essence of being first, how could you possibly understand?" Jun Moxie's gaze chilled. "If you're unwilling to accept it, are you brave enough to face me in battle?"

"You..." The Zhenlong Academy expert's expression shifted slightly. He might not necessarily fear Jun Moxie, but at this moment, everyone was busy seeking opportunities. Engaging in a life-and-death battle with Jun Moxie would be a foolish act.

"Enough, Brother Du. We haven't even entered the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder yet. We still need to cooperate."

At that moment, a man in a deep blue robe approached, taking on the role of a mediator.

He was Li Yunlong, the leader of Hailan Academy for this occasion. Judging by his aura, he had definitely opened more than fifty meridian gates.

"Hmph. I'll give you, Li Yunlong, face!"

Du Shaoling from Zhenlong Academy snorted lightly, then spoke in a cold tone, "Now that all the students from the four academies are present, it's time to enter the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder!"
