Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1137

This was so for the academy Qin Wentian was in as well.

The experts who were on the Sky Connecting Altars were all brought back to reality from the sound of that drum. Everyone all cast their gazes toward the horizons.

That sentence spoken by that voice caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. The sacred academy will open its doors… Was that then the real sacred academy?

It seemed that, that sacred academy which just manifested, was in a supplementary space to this dimension.

Numerous figures soared into the air as they continued flying forward. The sacred academy was located among the clouds, high up in the sky. Boundless light cascaded from it, gradually enveloping this boundless space as the experts here all flew in the direction of it.

"There would still be someone expounding on the Great Dao in the sacred academy?" Nanfeng Shengge's beautiful eyes flashed with light.

"Interesting." Little Rascal spoke in a low voice. He seemed extremely excited.

"We have been here for twelve years from the time we entered the immortal sea. Mhm, it seems that it takes twelve years for the sacred academy to 'open,' this must surely be something extraordinary. Let's go take a look." Qin Wentian spoke. Nanfeng Yunxi nodded and the group of them all flew towards that direction as well.

In the air, many different figures from all directions flew towards the sacred academy in the air. Their eyes were all gleaming with a brilliant light.

This sacred academy appears within the dimension only after twelve years, there's even someone expounding on the dao and it would surely be extraordinary. In that case, for those still lingering on the immortal sea up till this moment, did that mean that they would miss out this opportunity? Would this sacred academy vanish or still remain? So far, only about one-third of the experts on the immortal sea had successfully arrived at one of the four sacred academies.

Right now, golden beams of light flashed through the sky. The sky rocs all rode on the wind, soaring forward with momentum. There were over twenty sky rocs who managed to enter this dimension. As expected of a king race among demons that was loved by the heavens.

Qin Wentian saw that all the sky rocs crowded around one person as well. That person was none other than a demon king among the Sky Roc Race, the golden-winged great roc Jia Nantian. He once defeated Huang Wudi in the Sky Connecting Realm, and possessed startling might.

All the experts appeared outside the sacred academy. Nanfeng Yunxi's surroundings were also starting to fill with people from the Southern Phoenix Clan. However, there were only slightly over ten experts, losing out to the position of the sky rocs. These maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan who managed to make it here, were all holy maiden characters.

The baleful air from the White Tiger Race was extremely terrifying. They occupied an area, and other than White-eye, there were two other individuals whose statuses weren't inferior to him. They were all kings among the White Tiger Race.

Other than them, there were still individuals from the Heavenly Scorpion Race who were extremely dangerous.

"You guys may enter." A voice rang out. After that, the figures here all advanced towards the sacred academy. The majestic building radiated scintillating light, a stairway at the entrance could be seen, leading up to the skies. A wave of miraculous energy cascaded downwards, akin to might from divinities, causing everyone to have the feeling of worship in their hearts.

On the Sky Connecting Stairway, there were over thousands of experts. Given the fact that there are four academies, the number of people crossed the immortal sea probably numbered roughly five to six thousand.

"Seems like everyone has arrived." Qin Wentian spoke. He glanced at the surroundings and realized something. It seems that the vast majority of those who cultivated demonic techniques or greater demons, have all came to this sacred academy.

Sky Roc Race, White Tiger Race, Heavenly Scorpion Race, etc. There are also people from the Sky Demon Palace.

Other than these, there was also another group of people with fearsome auras. They wore simple-looking beast hide manufactured from the skin of greater demons. Their bodies had a tyrannical feeling to it, and each of them appeared extremely terrifying. These people were the same as Qin Wentian, from the Eastern Regions of the immortal realms - they were from the easternmost location, Greatsnow Mountain, of the Beast God Sect.

Not only so, Qin Wentian with on his fearsome vision could also see abundance of demonic energies within the bodies of many individuals. These people all have terrifying physiques and most probably, these were all demons who took on human forms and their true forms are actual demonic dragons.

It's said that in the western sea outside the Nine Tripod City, there was an island named the Dragon Island. Nobody knew if this rumor was true but there were indeed existences of demonic dragons in the vast immortal realms. Qin Wentian wasn't shocked by this.

"Saint Lord, many greater demons have appeared." The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe transmitted their voices to Qin Wentian. Beside him, the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe gathered. Their totem was of a divine ape and all of them cultivated the Battle Saint Art, innately born with unique powers. Their eyes were terrifying and they were able to tell that the true forms of some of these human-looking individuals were greater demons who had taken on human-form.

"I can see them too." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice back in response. These people could be said to be the first batch to have crossed the immortal sea. They might not be the strongest in terms of combat but there was no doubting that their comprehension abilities were the most outstanding of the lot. It was quite normal for greater demons of the various regions to have appeared here.

"There are also quite a few of the Skymist Immortal Empire's experts here." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke in a low voice. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, he too could sense many unkind gazes on him. One of these people was extremely familiar, he had encountered that person before during the trip to the Evergreen Immortal Empire back then.

Stepping onto the stairway, they discovered that their immortal senses were all restricted. They didn't know what lies atop the stairway and could only proceed upwards step-by-step.

Upon reaching the top of the stairway, their vision spread open. There was a vast piece of flat land with 3,000 open seats used for dao-seeking. Each of the immortal seats gleamed with light and had runic patterns on them, exuding a mysterious air. In fact, these 3,000 seats resembled praying mats.

Right in the front of the 3,000 seats, a palace could be seen. There was a long hallway, and a gigantic statue as vivid as life could be seen sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed. This statue was so life-like that it seemed to be alive, and yet also a statue.

But since the sacred academy is open and there would be someone expounding on the great dao, this figure should be real by right.

Everyone in this academy have all arrived here.

And also, the positioning of the 3,000 immortal seats seemed a little weird. At the first row, there was only one seat; two seats at the second row; three seats at the third row and so on and so forth until the number 3,000 was reached. The latter number rows had the most number of seats.

Everyone quietly stood there, staring at the 3,000 immortal seats as a question popped up in their minds. Who among them would be able to possess the seat in the lead?

"The expounding of the Great Dao by the sacred academy. There are only 3,000 seats available." The ethereal voice rang out once more. It was unknown where the voice originated from and when the people here glanced at the life-like statue, there were no hints of any movements from it.

"The expounding of the Great Dao by the sacred academy. There are only 3,000 seats available." That voice rang out once more, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. It seemed the have answered the question in the hearts of everyone. Sieving the weak from the strong, and despite the number of supreme geniuses present, only the top 3,000 would be able to gain an immortal seat. Everyone naturally thought about who would be the one seated at the first row.

There were thousands of people here, and just counting the demon races, there's the Western Sea Dragon Race, White Tiger Race, Sky Roc Race, and even the maidens with phoenix blood, Beast God Sect. Out of all these people, who would be qualified enough to sit in the lead seat, listening to the sacred academy expounding on the Great Dao.

"Let me try it." A coarse sounding voice rang out. After that, a figure about three meters tall walked out from the crowd. This person exuded an explosive strength, he had thick limbs and a herculean physique, both his eyes were crimson red in color, terrifying to the extreme. In addition, his cultivation base was also exceedingly high, at the eighth-level of immortal foundation.

"This demon should be an ape-type demonic beast but I have no idea which specific race he is from. It seems that he is the only one who managed to enter the sacred academies and had no other racial members with him." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Nanfeng Yunxi's eyes flickered as she thought of a place. At this moment, Nanfeng Shengge who was beside her suddenly spoke, "I've seen ancient records of our clan before. Although most greater demon races occupy the Western Regions, there's still another place where the demonic beasts over there are even more compared to the Western Regions. They hailed from the westernmost location of the entire immortal realms - the land of desolation, within the Ten Thousand Mountain Range."

"I've heard something about there." Qin Wentian nodded. "It's just that I heard the Ten Thousand Mountain Range is exceedingly vast and is a place akin to the Myriad Devil Islands. It's a place of absolute death for human cultivators if they head into the depths of it. The demons there also seem to live a life separate from the others in the immortal realms, there are rarely conflicts between them and others in the world. However, the information the immortal realms have about that place, is even lesser compared to information about the Myriad Devil Islands. Hence, even if the sacred academies appeared, there might not be many demons from the Ten Thousand Mountain Range coming over here."

"Indeed. If demons in that place come enmasse, there would surely be a great commotion just like during the time the Myriad Devil Islands sent out their forces. But even so, we cannot eliminate the possibility that no demons came from that place." An expert from the Southern Phoenix Clan added. "Look at this greater demon, its eyes are both red and seemed a little like the Fiery-eyed Berserk Ape of the legends. Other than the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, there are absolutely no other places where traces of this particular race of greater demons originated."

That person walked to the open immortal seat that was at the forefront. He stomped the ground menacingly and stepped upon it. But at that very instant, the immortal seat shone with a brilliant light that shot up into the sky, painting a scene in the air.

"ROAR!" That expert suddenly howled in rage. An instant later, with a thunderous boom, the demonic ape expanded it's form. A towering incomparably violent demonic beast could be seen, over the height of ten thousand meters in the scene formed of astral light. Both its eye were a scorching red as violent flames sprang into being around it. It looked as though it had entered into a berserk state. The gigantic ape then raised its head and roared, causing the sky and earth to crack apart. But despite its power, an instant later, an overwhelming pressure slammed into it with supreme might from the Great Dao.

"Fiery-eyed Berserk Ape!" Everyone all had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw the true form of that person who attempted to sit on the lead seat.

"BOOM!" A deafening sound echoed out. The human-form ape was blasted from the immortal seat and slammed ruthlessly onto the ground. The earth in the surroundings rang out with a dull sound. He climbed up with great difficulty, his crimson-red eyes staring at the lead seat as a violent aura erupted from him. It seems that he might enter the berserk state again at any moment.

"Three thousand immortal seats, who can take the lead seat? That lead seat isn't so easy to for one to sit upon." The hearts of everyone trembled. The fiery-eyed ape was blasted down so effortlessly. It naturally wouldn't be so easy to obtain that seat, before the multitude of supreme experts from humanity and the demon races!
