C1730 Battle-king Academy
1The location of the Holy City Zhongzhou was vast and boundless. The region it covered was comparable to the vastness of a world, and one could imagine how vast it was and how many people it gathered.
As a result, not only was Lin Feng able to see the magnificent buildings in the sky above the Holy City Zhongzhou, he could also occasionally see bustling lakes and rivers, as well as towering mountains. However, no matter if it was the rivers or mountains, they were all filled with flowers and were bustling with noise and excitement.
"Lin Feng, do you see that mountain?" At this time, the big pest pointed towards the distant image of a mountain. It was vast and endless, with eight sides of the mountain surrounded by water, and the mountain towered above them. However, the mountain towered into the sky, reaching into the clouds.
"This mountain is a Buddha Mountain, and practitioners of buddhas must cross the water and advance forward, step by step, until they reach the ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, before they can ascend the path of Buddha." This mountain is a Buddha Mountain, and practitioners of buddhas must cross the water and ascend the stairs, and only until they reach the ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, can they ascend the path of Buddha.
The big pest slowly said, causing Lin Feng's heart to tremble. This buddhist gate was simply too difficult, those who spend the least amount of time to enter used up three years, so for many people, wanting to reach the top would need at least ten years, or even more than ten years.
"Anyone who can successfully ascend to the peak of the Ancient Era's Buddha must have a strong heart." Lin Feng said in a low voice. If he had to spend three years of time fighting, he might not even dare to do it. Moreover, three years was merely the minimum of time.
"Wrong." The big pest laughed as he looked at Lin Feng, "I'm afraid you can't imagine the ending."
"Oh?" Lin Feng looked at the big pest in shock: "Isn't it?"
"Throughout the countless years, there have only been a handful of people who have ascended to this world. But just from these few numbers alone, what the outside world knows is that they have become great devils, not unrivalled buddhas." The big pest laughed as he spoke, causing Lin Feng's pupils to constrict. Pleading for the Buddha, climbing the one hundred thousand stairs, experiencing countless misfortunes, and finally becoming a great devil?
This ending was indeed unexpected.
"Is the top of the mountain really a buddhist gate?" Lin Feng looked at the blurry mountain range in the distance. Since he was a Buddha, why did he become a great devil upon reaching this realm?
"It is absolutely true. It is indeed a buddhist sect. It is said that an unparalleled buddha resides inside. That is why countless people have been wanting to come here for so many years." The big pest slowly said, causing Lin Feng to be even more shocked.
"It's impossible to reach the peak of the mountain from the sky?"
"No one has tried. No one dares to disturb the ancient buddha." The big pest shook his head.
"It seems this really is a wondrous place." Lin Feng smiled and said, he then turned his gaze back. It was a pity that he did not cultivate, otherwise, he might have tried.
"There are many strange places in the Holy City." The big pest laughed.
"Right, I heard that there are a few academies in Holy City Zhongzhou. Where are we going?" Lin Feng asked. He had only heard that there was an academy in the Central Region, but he did not know of the academy's name.
"The Holy City Zhongzhou has four major academies, each with their own strengths. The Warrior King Academy is famous for nurturing the King of War, all of its disciples specialize in fighting, with tyrannical fighting intent; the Celestial God Academy is proficient in the path of Arts of Supernatural Power, it contains all kinds of supreme Arts of Supernatural Power, and its might is limitless; the ancient academy is more inclined to nurture the spirit of the Martial Dao's people, to make it incomparably tyrannical, to the point of unleashing the Martial Dao's strongest potential, to shake the world. Only the Spring and Autumn School is different from the other three academies, not focusing on it, to balance the various powers." Tantai accepted the voice and said.
"How are the rankings of the four academies? Are there any differences in strength between the four academies?" Lin Feng asked.
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, there are no differences between the strong and the weak. People of the Martial Dao will carefully choose based on their innate talent." Tantai answered, they were all Sacred Academies that had been passed down for countless years, standing tall with their Holy City Zhongzhou at the peak of eternity. Because of the differences in age, there might be differences in strength between every generation, but none of them could completely suppress the other.
"Which of the four academies do you plan to enter?" Lin Feng asked curiously, these two fellows were experts in battle, their bodies were strong, maybe they were more inclined to the Warrior King Academy.
"This, has not been decided." Tantai scratched his head and laughed.
"I still haven't decided how you guys will fight with the people from Snow Clan." Lin Feng was speechless. Didn't this guy say that he had a conflict with someone from the Snow Clan while he was going to the Academy's assessment?
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Tantai once again revealed an embarrassed expression. He simply smiled and did not dare look Lin Feng in the eye.
"This guy has something to hide." Lin Feng secretly thought in his heart, but he heard the big pest say weakly: "Let me say, it's not like it's shameful. Lin Feng, we came to the Holy City Zhongzhou, last time, it was to go to the Warrior King Academy, but we failed the test, so we couldn't pass. Tantai didn't dare to tell the old man about this, and instead went to the Celestial God Academy.
Lin Feng's heart trembled, he finally understood the reason, it felt like Tantai was determined to gain some face, but he felt even more displeased that he did not pass the Warrior King Academy entrance examination, which meant that he had lost a battle with someone from the Snow Clan. It was no wonder he did not dare to tell the old man.
"Lin Feng, you decide which academy we will go to if we fail the Warrior King Academy examination. It's the same as training anyway, there are a lot of monsters inside, so there's no need to be afraid of no one fighting." In the vast Cyan Empyrean Land, a majority of the ambitious youths would rush to the three most central Main City of Heaven s for countless of years. After many years, the Four Major Academies, with many demon-level talents from generation to generation, would never lack talent.
"You guys should still want to go to the Warrior King Academy right? You failed the last exam and can you still take the test again?" Lin Feng asked.
"Sure, the academy's examination is held once every three months. If you fail, you can still come back for the next one. One month has already passed since the last academy assessment. You only need to wait a few days to be able to take part in one of the exams." However, they had already failed the last exam once, so in this short period of time, their strength had not increased by much. Therefore, if they were to choose the Warrior King Academy again, it would still be very suspenseful for them to choose. After all, Lin Feng's strength was weaker than theirs, and even the Martial Emperor had not arrived yet.
"Since that's the case, we should continue with the examination of the Warrior King Academy." Lin Feng said as he nodded his head.
"Alright, we'll go to the Warrior King Academy. If we fail the last time's examination, even if we go to other academies, the success rate will be similarly low. We might as well continue to enter the Warrior King Academy, and come back after failing for three months." Tantai said heroically as the three of them rushed towards the direction of the vast Central Region's Warrior King Academy.
Gu Fan's speed was extremely quick and violent as he sped past the vast lands of Holy City. After a while, Lin Feng finally saw an imposing city, and inside the city, it was vast and endless.
"Lin Feng, that's the Warrior King Academy. The skies above the Warrior King Academy forbids outsiders from flying in their air space. The big pest told Lin Feng.
"I see." Lin Feng slightly nodded his head. Since the Warrior King's Snow Domain was so powerful, naturally no one was allowed to violate their airspace.
"Do you feel like this academy is comparable to a kingdom of the lower world?" The scope of this academy was simply too vast. Mountains and rivers towered, and there was even an ancient aura radiating from it. It was as though the entire academy was filled with traces of ancient ruins.
"It's not even comparable. If you return to the small world, with your current cultivation, you'll be able to rule the world, but what about in this academy?" Lin Feng smiled and said, "This academy is very ancient, and is filled with simple and unadorned buildings. It is actually preserved to such perfection.
"Come, let's go down." Lin Feng and the other two descended from the sky and arrived outside the Warrior King Academy. There was an endless amount of people in the surrounding area, all of them were from the young generation with powerful innate skills and terrifying cultivation, they were all hot-blooded and hoped to enter the Warrior King Academy one day and become one of its disciples.
"There's still more than a month before another examination. I wonder how many people from the Four Great Academies will be able to enter this time to become Academy Student." At this moment, the people outside were discussing.
"Before this, there is another great matter. Ying Cheng is about to be conferred the title of King Ying in front of all the heroes of the Central Region. This matter had already shocked the entire Central Region and had not seen such an arrogant person in many years. Ying Cheng was one of them, someone who actually wanted to be conferred the title of emperor.
Ever since he had ascended to the throne, he had only spent ten or so years sweeping away mountains and rivers. He treated his peers as if they were nothing, and so what if he was king?
Everyone nodded. In the Holy City Zhongzhou area, there were many Evil Genius, but no one of the same cultivation level could pressure Ying Cheng.
"Crack!" Hearing the conversation of the crowd, Tantai clenched his fists, his veins popping out and his eyes filled with the terrifying aura of a wild beast.
Lin Feng looked at Tantai, and thought to himself, could it be that this Ying Cheng, who had become the king, was the person that Tantai was talking about?
