Chapter 419: Huang Shi’s Edict, Jixia Mass Enrolment!

Looking at the Sky-Mending Pill, Wang Shenxu was so touched that tears filled his eyes.

“Brother Shen is such an honorable and upstanding man!”

Wang Shenxu was delighted.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Sky-Mending Pill! Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Will I be able to ascend to the heavens after consuming this pill?

Wang Shenxu did not hesitate. He immediately consumed the Sky-Mending Pill and started refining it.

Soon, his body glowed, and he exuded a mighty aura.

The Great Void Sacred Leader gazed in Wang Shenxu’s direction, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Shenxu possessed the Great Void Constitution, and with this pill, any prodigy with any kind of constitution would be able to evolve!

Does this mean that I can now announce to the world: My disciple Shenxu has the potential to be a Thearch?

Mmm?

Hadn’t the Purple Mansion Sacred Leader been acting so pompously in front of me all this long?

After Shenxu refines this Sky-Mending Pill, let me see if that fellow can continue behaving so pompously! He will be so jealous!

Just the thought of that thrills me!

The Great Void Sacred Leader was full of hope and expectations. It was like he could already see the envious and jealous expression on the Purple Mansion Sacred Leader’s face. He completely forgot that he had nearly lost control and killed his stupid disciple just a second ago.

…

But then again, is it that easy to get a Sky-Mending Pill? Why don’t I give it a try later on?

A bold idea suddenly emerged in the Great Void Sacred Leader’s mind.

However, after looking at Shen Tian and then at the group of juniors, he shook his head in the end.

There were too many people in the crowd now. He really could not afford to lose face in front of them all.

He was the Great Void Sacred Leader, after all. He had to maintain a level of dignity.

At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader walked past.

The Great Void Sacred Leader had just managed to suppress his urge when it rose again.

Although I cannot maintain my dignity if I seek out those juniors, there is still the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!

Tempted, the Great Void Sacred Leader quickly chased after him.

“Longyuan, my friend, I have something to talk to you about!”

…

Rumble!

Soon after taking the Sky-Mending Pill, Wang Shenxu started to evolve.

Tens of thousands of light rays shot out of his back, and the void surged and ebbed.

Supported by the void energy, Wang Shenxu’s body seemed to change into a mirage as if it was merging with the void.

That was not all. Even the space behind him had turned somewhat fuzzy as if the fabrics of space were about to completely disintegrate and expose the void to all!

A mighty aura spread across the area, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Is this the Great Void Constitution?”

“This endless void makes even a Heavenly Venerable like me shudder in fear.”

Many people gasped as they stared at the evolution of Wang Shenxu’s constitution. Their eyes were filled with shock.

The great void had always been very powerful since ancient times. Anyone who could control the void energy could easily surpass all other cultivators.

However, this kind of practitioner had a short lifespan as they had to use their life energy to activate this powerful force. That was especially so for those with the Great Void Constitution. Every one of them had exceptionally short lifespans.

As a result, people might be wary of those who could control the void but did not exactly fear them that much.

Wang Shenxu’s Great Void Constitution was now evolving after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

The power of his physical body had been greatly enhanced!

It was like he had merged as one with the void and become its ultimate controller!

On top of that, Wang Shenxu’s energy force was rapidly replenishing. His originally white mane had turned into fine, black hair, while his panda-like black eyebags had nearly disappeared.

Every inch of him now radiated with extremely robust vitality.

At the same time, Wang Shenxu’s cultivation level was also rapidly increasing, all the way until Peak-Stage Nascent Soul.

The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill not only helped Wang Shenxu’s constitution evolve, but it also replenished all the vitality he had expended over the past years.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu was full of life and vigor!

Boom!

His aura surged wildly!

A divine light bloomed out of his body as his aura surged to the extreme.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu was like the great god of the void descended down on earth!

Qi Shaoxuan admitted to himself that he was jealous!

This kind of pill could tempt even a Sage. Of course he would be tempted too!

Even Wang Shenxu managed to improve his power greatly thanks to the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. If Qi Shaoxuan could get that pill, wouldn’t he become even more powerful?

However, he was the former number one in Eastern Wilderness, proud and dignified. How could he behave like Wang Shenxu?

Not everyone could be so thick-skinned!

This made the situation rather awkward.

Qi Shaoxuan wanted the Sky-Mending Pill but couldn’t bring himself to ask for it. He just stared woefully at Shen Tian.

Shen Tian’s beads vibrated. “Master, Jiu’er feels an aura full of deep grievance radiating from the Purple Mansion Saint!”

Shen Tian, “???”

Shen Tian turned and saw Qi Shaoxuan staring at him resentfully. He looked exactly like a little wife who had not been doted on.

…

Shen Tian smiled.

He knew very well what Qi Shaoxuan was thinking. After all, it was widely known that the Divine Firmament Saint had very high EQ!

Anyway, he had already given away so many pills, and just one more wouldn’t matter. Moreover, Qi Shaoxuan was also a great Son of Providence with a purple halo.

Qi Shaoxuan was a goose who laid very high-quality golden eggs. Shen Tian was more than happy to be generous toward him.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu rushed over and stood in front of Qi Shaoxuan in a spirited manner.

He crossed his hands behind his back, and his aura surged magnificently, looking very formidable.

He glanced at Qi Shaoxuan. “Buddy, do you dare to fight one round with me?”

Wang Shenxu was extremely arrogant now.

The void is my domain. No one can beat me!

Qi Shaoxuan had always been out-shining him, so he felt very aggrieved.

If it wasn’t for his limited lifespan, he might be able to defeat Qi Shaoxuan.

But things are different now. I have eaten the pill! My battle prowess has increased, and my vitality has been restored! I feel like I am fit and able again!

Wang Shenxu stepped forth to challenge Qi Shaoxuan the minute he finished consuming the pill. He wanted to vent all the frustrations he had been harboring over the past years.

Qi Shaoxuan fell silent. He could feel the significant increase in Wang Shenxu’s powers. He wasn’t confident of defeating him now!

Even so, Qi Shaoxuan’s purple aura surged, and he swung his Heaven’s Halberd, looking very battle-ready.

I am number one in this world. How can I be afraid of such a petty little man? Since you want a fight, I will give you one!

Wang Shenxu chuckled.

“Buddy, you are not my match now! I will kill you today!”

Wang Shenxu felt a thrill run down his spine. It had been a long time since he was able to hold his head up so high!

From today onward, the position of number one in the world will be mine!

Ahhahahahahahahaha!

Just the thought of it makes me so happy!

At this moment, Shen Tian walked over.

“Brother Qi, I forgot about this just now. I prepared this Sky-Mending Pill for you!”

Shen Tian took out a Sky-Mending Pill and handed it to Qi Shaoxuan!

Qi Shaoxuan, “!!!”

Wang Shenxu, “???”

‘Da-damn… I licked his boots for nothing?

Wang Shenxu’s eyes widened as he stood there, completely dumbstruck.

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoxuan looked very moved. “Brother Shen, I don’t…”

Yes, Qi Shaoxuan wanted to pretend to reject him, but he just could not get the words out. The effects of this pill had already been displayed for all to see. Even the power of Wang Shenxu, that loser, had been enhanced to such a high level.

There was no way Qi Shaoxuan wouldn’t be tempted!

Under normal circumstances, one had to politely reject a few times to show good manners.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was worried that if he stood on ceremony now, what if Shen Tian really withdrew his offer?

When faced with this miracle divine pill, even Qi Shaoxuan couldn’t help feeling very anxious.

“Brother Shen, words cannot describe my gratitude toward you. In the future, whenever you need me, I will be there even if I have to run through fire and swim across boiling waters!”

Qi Shaoxuan cupped his fists in respect, feeling very grateful.

Shen Tian was indeed very generous. He was willing to give away pills as precious as this.

The gulf between Brother Shen and I is as wide as the distance between heaven and earth!

Even so, I am definitely taking the number two spot in this world!

Sky-Mending Pill in hand, Qi Shaoxuan’s desire for battle blazed to the extreme.

…

He looked at the nearly-crying Wang Shenxu. “We will have a nice long sparring session after I consume this Sky-Mending Pill. I want to see which is tougher, your body or my Heaven’s Halberd! Wang Shenxu, if you got the guts, don’t sneak off later!”

Qi Shaoxuan shot Wang Shenxu a mild look before sitting down to eat his pill.

Qi Shaoxuan’s confidence was back after getting that Sky-Mending Pill!

Great Void Saint Wang Shenxu? Great Void Constitution? I will teach you a good lesson later!

Meanwhile, a myriad of expressions crossed Wang Shenxu’s face. He went red for a minute, then pale.

Although Wang Shenxu had recovered nearly all of his vitality, and his constitution and power had been greatly enhanced, Qi Shaoxuan was not to be underestimated!

Qi Shaoxuan used to be number one in Eastern Wilderness. With the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill supporting him now, his battle prowess would definitely surge up.

I am not afraid of Qi Shaoxuan, but there is really no need for this.

Yes, no need!

After all, when others battle, they only expended spiritual energy, whereas I have to expend vitality!

No matter how long my lifespan is, I cannot waste it just like that!

Who knows just how many years of my life will I waste if I fight with Qi Shaoxuan now?

At that thought, Wang Shenxu started to feel a sense of trepidation…

No, not trepidation. I am just being prudent!

He smiled. “Brother Qi, I was just joking with you earlier! Ha… haha… hahaha!”

Qi Shaoxuan just shot him a mild look. “Don’t sneak off later.”

Wang Shenxu’s face stiffened. “Qi Shaoxuan, don’t push me too far!”

“Don’t sneak off later.”

“Don’t think that I am afraid of you! I will sacrifice my own lifespan just to kill you!”

“Don’t sneak off later.”

Wang Shenxu, “…”

“Brother Shen, I suddenly remember that I have something on at home. My seventh aunt’s niece is cutting her hair for the first time today. I must go and help them celebrate the occasion. Brother Shen, I will take my leave first!”

Wang Shenxu immediately fled!

Do you think I will really fight to the death with Qi Shaoxuan?

No way!

Do you take me for a fool?

Things are not looking good. Time to run away!

Swoosh!

The void surged, and Wang Shenxu disappeared to goodness-knows-where.

Qi Shaoxuan, “…”

The crowd, “…”

This Great Void Constitution is pretty cool! His speed when running for his life is second to none!

…

Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong were also bickering. They had not stopped since returning from Penglai Island.

Luckily, they were more toned down now. They just fought verbally and didn’t really come to physical blows. Otherwise, another major battle would erupt!

At that moment, something on Princess Linglong suddenly sparkled.

Princess Linglong was shocked as she took out an item.

“Why did my transmission device suddenly light up?”

Feeling hesitant, Princess Linglong activated the device.

The golden light erupted into a brilliant rainbow that shot into her head.

Princess Linglong looked even more startled now.

Zhang Yunxi frowned. “What’s happening?”

Princess Linglong smiled. “A delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is about to arrive. They must be here to congratulate Brother Shen!”

As the young princess of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, she was very happy to hear that a delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was arriving.

Zhang Yunxi’s expression turned grave.

Delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. Could they be here to propose marriage?

No way!

I have to find my father now!

Junior Brother is mine! No one else is allowed to have him!

…

Zhang Yunxi hurried off.

Before long, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was enveloped in endless divine light.

The fabrics of space vibrated as light rays shot out from everywhere as if a searing sun was slowly rising!

Everyone turned and saw a massive war chariot appear.

Nine primordial Qilin-like beasts stood in front of the chariot. They were resplendent and exuded a terrifying aura as if heavenly beasts descended on earth.

These nine primordial Qilin-like beasts did have Qilin blood running through their veins. They were part-Q!ilin and were all Demon Venerables. They had very formidable power, enough to reign over all their peers!

But even high-level demons like them were only good enough to drag the chariot.

Behind these primordial Qilin-like beasts were 36 peak Heavenly Venerable cultivators dressed in silver armor.

Their cultivation levels were terrifying, and their auras merged seamlessly as if they were one. It was clear that they were well-versed in coordinated attacks.

36 peak Heavenly Venerables working together was enough to stand against a True Sage!

Even so, these 36 peak Heavenly Venerables were just escorts.

Right in the center was a dazzling golden chariot.

Divine light swirled around the chariot, which was covered in numerous magic runes. Activated, it held enough power to kill a Sage.

A tall, mighty man with a fearsome aura sat inside this chariot. He had a relaxed demeanor and had the domineering air of an ultimate ruler. He didn’t look like he was of this world at all.

The Sages from the various sacred grounds were shocked at the sight.

Such a massive formation for just one chariot. So extravagant?

Who was the man in that chariot?

He had such a formidable standing and earth-shaking power?

The man slowly stood up and stepped out. The space where his foot made contact with cracked, revealing a black abyss.

Everyone’s eyes narrowed. That aura was just too fearsome. It far surpassed that of a True Sage!

Only a peak Tribulation Transcendence expert possessed such a terrifying aura!

“That’s… the War King of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty!”

A sacred leader from Middle Ground recognized the man.

This made everyone even more shocked.

It should be pointed out that the War King was one of the most powerful practitioners in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. He was a Great Sage who had undergone nine tribulations and could easily dominate over every single Sage at present!

Such a powerful practitioner was coming all the way to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground… Could he be here to attend the Saint Inauguration Ceremony!?

Pfffttt!

All the Sages gasped at the thought.

They didn’t expect the Divine Firmament Saint to be so famous as to attract such a big wig!

The War King was now at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

He could cross 10,000 miles in a single step and instantly appeared before everyone, suspended in mid-air.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader flew up, his heavenly aura rippling. “Welcome, War King!

“I wonder why you have come all this way?”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was well-acquainted with the War King and was not worried that he had come to cause trouble.

Moreover, the War King was from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, and Princess Linglong was still in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. All the less reason to worry.

The War King nodded at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. “I came here to attend the Saint Inauguration Ceremony and offer my congratulations.

“Also, I am here on orders of Great Thearch Huang Shi to make an announcement to all the sacred grounds!

“Jixia Academy is making an exception to conduct a mass enrolment. All young talented prodigies at Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage and above can enroll at Jixia Academy.”

The entire crowd was in an uproar at his words!

The War King of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, the most powerful authority in Middle Ground, was willing to come all this way to attend this Saint Inauguration Ceremony!

It was unbelievable!

Even Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremonies in all the other sacred grounds had never received such star treatment!

This alone was enough to shock all the sacred grounds.

But the most shocking thing was the second point—the War King had mentioned Great Thearch Huang Shi!

He was a legendary figure who had ascended to the top position across the five regions 5,000 years ago. He was the one who had created the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and Jixia Academy!

Great Thearch Huang Shi had personally given the order to have Jixia Academy conduct a mass enrolment!

This was enough to make all the Golden Core prodigies go into a delighted frenzy!

It should be pointed out that Jixia Academy was the sacred ground where all the prodigies wished to enter. It attracted the most talented prodigies from all over.

Inside that place, there were countless precious legacies and powerful practitioners as mentors. Many prodigies wished to go there.

As long as one could enroll in Jixia Academy, they could become one of the top practitioners!

However, it was not that easy to enter Jixia Academy.

For the sacred grounds, only their Saints and Saintesses had the right to enroll in Jixia Academy.

As for the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands, their criteria were even more stringent. Unless the prodigy had mind-blowing talent, they would not be accepted.

Generally, the sacred grounds would send one batch of core disciples every hundred years.

Most of the core disciples would leave their sacred grounds after 100 years to gain more training experience or control one of their sacred ground’s strongholds.

Meanwhile, the Saints, Saintesses, and most outstanding prodigies would enter Jixia Academy to continue their cultivation.

Countless talented prodigies sparred and clashed in Jixia Academy, resulting in numerous conflicts.

It was from these conflicts that truly indomitable practitioners were forged.

Previously, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had trained in Jixia Academy.

They had created many waves while they were in Jixia Academy.

It could be said that this was the most powerful academy in the five regions.

In the past, the academy only accepted the best.

Now, they were relaxing their restrictions and accepting Golden Core cultivators. This meant that many more prodigies would be able to enter Jixia Academy!

As a result, the faces of countless prodigies were filled with excitement and hope!

…

However, the older generation was more subdued, with some looking rather grave.

Is Jixia Academy doing this to quickly groom more talented practitioners?

And this order was given by Great Thearch Huang Shi himself.

Does this mean that even he is feeling the pressure?

They linked this event to the earlier words of the Evil Spirit Sect’s True Sage.

For a moment there, the hearts of many sank.

Don’t tell me that…

The five regions will really be descending into chaos soon!?
