Chapter 990
: Fighting for the Face of the Immortal Realm!?
The thirty-third heaven, the "Tusita Heaven".
This is the true core of the immortal realm, with perfect laws and an incredibly rich immortal aura. It is inhabited by true ancient and powerful beings who can determine the rise and fall of all heavens with a single thought.
Fang Qing and Yang Qi were able to obtain the energy of the Thirty-Three Heavens Immortal Realm at this time, which was naturally a great opportunity for them to become immortals.
The two immediately began to absorb the nutrients happily.
Fang Qing comprehended countless mysteries, and Yang Qi also gained a great deal.
Yang Qi's cultivation technique, "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," is an unparalleled divine skill that requires a massive amount of energy, especially high-quality energy, which can greatly accelerate the awakening of his divine elephant particles and the growth of his power.
The energy of Tushita Heaven was like a godsend to him.
As the energy entered his body, the dormant giant elephant particles within him, like sharks smelling blood, began to awaken frantically.
His power surged at a visible rate, and his physical strength and true energy capacity both experienced a qualitative leap.
This was a very enjoyable process.
After their strength improved, Fang Qing did not immediately return to the Thai Imperial Academy; instead, he returned to the Abundant Continent.
The Bountiful Continent of today is no longer the lowly, isolated plane it once was. Its spiritual energy is countless times richer than before, its territory is slowly expanding, and many new resource points and secret realms have emerged.
The Holy King Faction grew stronger and stronger, becoming the undisputed number one power on the continent, and its influence even extended to some surrounding star regions.
But in Fang Qing's eyes, this was far from enough.
He descended upon the headquarters of the Holy King Sect.
The original site of the Celestial Academy has now been expanded into a magnificent cluster of celestial palaces.
When Fang Qing returned, it caused a sensation throughout the continent. The Holy King Sect was in an uproar, and countless disciples knelt down in excitement.
Fang Qing didn't linger on social engagements. He went directly to the source of the spiritual vein at the core of the continent, took out a large amount of high-grade array materials and immortal stones obtained from the Myriad Realms King Map and the Taihuang Academy, and even used a few strands of precious immortal matter to personally set up a super spirit-gathering, defense, and evolution array that covered the entire Bountiful Continent.
Chaos Saint King's Celestial Star Array.
The name is very powerful!
Once this formation was completed, the entire Bountiful Continent was as if it had been injected with boundless vitality, and the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth surged tens of thousands of times again.
The spiritual veins deep within the earth are constantly nourished and expanded, beginning to transform into higher-level dragon veins. The spatial structure of the entire continent is also becoming more stable, able to withstand stronger impacts.
Furthermore, at the core of the formation, Fang Qing left behind a clone of his own chaotic true energy as the formation's eye, granting the formation a certain degree of autonomous defense and counterattack capabilities.
From then on, the Bountiful Continent truly became a sacred place for cultivation, with boundless potential, enough to serve as a solid foundation for Fang Qing and the Holy King Sect's future.
Only after doing all this did Fang Qing have time to see his old brothers.
Li He, Hua Yinhu, He Gang, and others rushed over upon hearing the news. They were all now high-ranking members of the Holy King Sect, but most of their cultivation levels were still at the legendary realm, a far cry from Fang Qing and Yang Qi.
Seeing Fang Qing's unfathomable aura and Yang Qi's wildly increasing strength, they were excited, but also felt somewhat ashamed and disappointed.
Fang Qing naturally saw through their thoughts.
Just like back then, he shared drinks and laughter with them, recounting his experiences since they last met.
Afterwards, he took out a large number of top-grade pills, cultivation manuals, and high-quality spirit stones suitable for cultivation at the legendary and great saint levels, and personally sorted out their meridians and explained the difficulties in cultivation.
"Brothers, the path of cultivation is long, and the key lies in perseverance and character."
Fang Qing raised his glass. "Yang Qi and I have already taken a few steps ahead. You have a solid foundation and a resilient spirit, so you may well catch up in the future. The continent is now rich in spiritual energy and resources, making it a good time to focus on cultivation. Only by breaking through to the Great Saint level or even the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible can you fight alongside us on a broader stage in the future."
"Don't worry, boss! We'll definitely train hard and won't let you down!"
Hua Yinhu patted his chest to assure them, his eyes slightly red.
"Yes! We also want to become Great Sages as soon as possible, and go and see that Thai Royal Academy and the Myriad Realms King Map!"
Li He also said with great enthusiasm.
"We will definitely work hard!"
Many legends spoke earnestly.
Seeing his former brothers regain their confidence, Fang Qing was deeply moved.
He stayed on the bountiful continent for several more days, handling some trivial matters and leaving behind more resources and arrangements before preparing to return to the Thai Royal Academy.
Because, through a special communication talisman with the higher-ups of the Thai Royal Academy, he received an urgent message—a major event concerning the "face" of the entire Thai Royal Academy, and even the Thai Royal Celestial Realm behind it, was about to happen.
The Royal Academy of Thailand, the Palace of the Gods.
Today, this palace, located in the heart of the academy and richest in spiritual energy, has become Fang Qing's exclusive place for cultivation and office work.
The interior of the hall is simply yet grandly decorated, with the Taoist charm of chaos and the sage king flowing throughout.
At this moment, in the main hall, in addition to Fang Qing, Yang Qi, and Empress Xuanming, Vice Abbot Qingyun was also present, as were several other powerful figures who were clearly high-ranking elders of the academy.
"Fang Qing, you've come back just in time."
The deputy academy master of Qingyun looked serious and went straight to the point, saying, "The Battlefield of Immortals is about to open again, and our Taihuang Academy must send its elites to participate."
"Battlefield of Immortals?"
Fang Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.
"This is a mysterious and ancient space jointly created by many immortal realms. Every once in a while, the top academies under the jurisdiction of many immortal realms will select their best disciples to enter it to fight, train, and compete for resources."
Another white-haired elder chimed in, his tone grave: "On the surface, it's a training exercise, but in reality, it's a covert contest and game between the various immortal realms. The disciples' performance, the number and quality of enemy immortal realm students they kill, directly affect the reputation of the immortal realm behind them and the resources they might receive in the future."
"Last time, my Thai Royal Academy lost to our old rival, the Great Luo Academy, which led to the Thai Royal Celestial Realm issuing a decree of punishment. Not only were our resource allocations reduced, but the entire academy also lost face and morale remained low for a long time."
"This time, we absolutely cannot fail again!"
Another elder clenched his fist, a hint of resentment and anger flashing in his eyes.
The Deputy Head of Qingyun Academy looked at Fang Qing and said in a deep voice, "The internal environment of the Immortal Battlefield is extremely complex and dangerous, with countless powerful ancient demons and abyssal monsters, as well as many unknown ruins and traps. But the most dangerous are always the students from other immortal realms." "Every time you kill a student from another academy, the Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm will automatically record the merit. These merits can not only be exchanged for huge rewards from the academy and the immortal realm upon your return, but more importantly, this merit will be recorded in your 'Immortal Register' when you ascend to the immortal realm in the future."
With this achievement, your starting point in the Immortal Realm will be far higher than that of ordinary ascendants. You might even be directly granted the position of 'Immortal Official,' a highly respected position with vastly different resources and privileges.
"In other words, this is a bloody battle fought for the face of the immortals of the upper realm, but at the same time, it is also a huge opportunity. Those who perform well will not only bring glory to the academy and the immortal realm behind it, but also pave their own path to immortality."
Fang Qing listened quietly to the end.
This battlefield of immortals, to put it bluntly, is a bloody arena where various immortal realms cultivate and select future elites, while simultaneously engaging in a power struggle.
It's brutal, but the opportunities are enormous.
What do you need me to do?
Fang Qing asked directly.
The Vice Abbot of Qingyun and the other elders exchanged glances and solemnly said, "We hope that you will serve as the leader and core of our Taihuang Academy's team entering the Immortal Battlefield this time. Your strength and potential are evident to all. Reaching the peak of the Heavenly Realm and being half-step into the Shattered Realm, you are enough to become a pillar of strength on the battlefield."
More importantly, you are now the chosen one of Heaven, rightfully so, and able to command respect. We hope that you can lead the most elite disciples of our Thai Royal Academy to avenge our past humiliation in the Battle of Immortals and uphold the might of our Thai Royal Heaven!
"Your goal is not only to survive on the battlefield, but also to kill as many elites from rival academies as possible, especially disciples from the Great Luo Academy, and strive to achieve a higher ranking in merit on the battlefield."
If our Thai Royal Academy can rank among the top this time, even surpassing the Great Luo Academy, the Immortal Realm will surely bestow a great reward! And you personally will also gain unimaginable resources and status.”
"That's natural."
Fang Qing nodded.
"Do your best, and slay the enemy!"
The deputy head of Qingyun patted Fang Qing on the shoulder, his eyes filled with high hopes.
Time flew by amidst the intense preparations and special training.
Soon, the day arrived when the Battle of Immortals would officially begin.
On this day, the sky above the initial plane of the core area of the Thai Royal Academy was already occupied by countless spatial wormholes that appeared like a honeycomb.
These wormholes vary in size and color, but they all emit strong spatial fluctuations.
buzzing...
The wormholes continued to tremble and expand, and then countless streams of light, like a flood bursting its banks, gushed out from these wormholes and landed on the plaza that had already been designated.
The various halls were arranged in an orderly fashion.
In the blink of an eye, the originally empty initial plane was filled with a dense crowd of students, a dark mass of people, their auras soaring into the sky, their numbers reaching a staggering one million.
These millions of students come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and dress in various ways, but without exception, they are all elites carefully selected from the King's Academy of Thailand.
Among them are young faces who have just entered the Great Sage realm and are full of vigor, as well as middle-class forces with calm auras, sharp eyes, and cultivation levels reaching the Heavenly Realm.
The scene was truly spectacular.
Millions of geniuses gathered, their auras intertwining to form an immense, invisible force field that slightly distorted the sky.
Excitement, nervousness, and eagerness shone in everyone's eyes.
Just as this million-strong army gathered, boom!
Space distorted violently, and a figure draped in a star-studded robe, wearing a flat-topped crown, and with his face shrouded in a hazy celestial light, slowly emerged.
The Supreme Leader of the Royal Academy of Thailand – the Unparalleled Abbot!
His appearance instantly silenced the once noisy square. Everyone, regardless of which academy they were from, felt a sense of awe and oppression emanating from their very souls, and involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Dear students."
The Supreme Lord's voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears. "The Battlefield of Immortals is an ancient battlefield left behind from the ancient battles between immortals. It contains endless killing intent, but also holds boundless opportunities. You are all the best under my Taihuang Heavenly Emperor. Going there is not only to temper yourselves, but also to win honor for my Taihuang Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
His gaze seemed to pierce through everything, sweeping over the millions of students below, and he continued, "On the battlefield, killing is done according to one's heart. Slaying disciples of opposing academies will earn you merit in the celestial realm. Those with high merit will not only receive generous rewards from the academy upon their return, but will also be blessed by the celestial realm, greatly benefiting their future path to immortality. However, the battlefield is treacherous, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. I hope you can watch over and help each other, fight bravely, and also assess the situation carefully to protect yourselves."
The simple words reveal the essence and cruelty of the battlefield of immortals.
“I know that many of you are not first-timers.”
The Supreme Lord's voice paused slightly, "But each time is a new test of life and death. Those who survive are the strong; those who survive with merit are the heroes."
He said no more, slowly raised his right hand, and gently made a gesture towards the empty space in front of the square.
stab.
A colossal spatial rift, its edges shimmering with iridescent light, yet its interior a hazy gray expanse filled with endless desolation and a murderous aura, slowly opened in the air.
The crack was large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people entering at the same time.
Through the cracks, one can vaguely see the twisted mountains and rivers, the broken ancient buildings, the smoke of war, and the sounds of clashing swords and booming war drums that seem to have echoed through the ages.
An intense, overwhelming mix of blood, slaughter, war, and death surged forth from the crack like a tangible tide, instantly engulfing the entire plaza. Many students with weak minds or low cultivation levels turned pale instantly, and some even trembled slightly.
This is the Battlefield of Immortals, a true ancient battlefield relic! A place where countless immortals and gods fell, where civilizations clashed, and where laws collapsed. Now, it has become the stage for these students to fight and kill!
"The gates to the battlefield of immortals have been opened!"
The Supreme Lord's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed across the heavens, "Life and death are left to fate! Enter now!"
"go!"
Fang Qing moved, enveloping Yang Qi and the others, who vanished without a trace.
Almost simultaneously, the millions of students in the square, like a flood bursting its banks, roared and howled, transforming into countless streams of light of different colors, surging into the spatial rift from all directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The sound of air being torn apart was incessant, and the sight of a million-strong army pouring in was both spectacular and brutal.
Each streak of light represents a vibrant life, a burning ambition, yet at this moment, they resolutely throw themselves into that ancient battlefield destined to be stained with blood.
The long-standing power struggle between the Taihuang Heaven, the Daluo Heaven, and many other celestial realms will once again unfold in the most primal and bloody way—a life-or-death battle among the younger generation—on this battlefield of immortals. (End of Chapter)
