Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1388 The Herb Valley's Mystery (1)

?

The eyes of Chen Xue and Qin Weizhe lit up when they heard this. This was indeed a great opportunity for them. As long as they could enter the divine academy, they would be no different from soaring to heaven in one step.

Seeing their expressions, Qin Jun said calmly. "Although you have a chance, don't forget that there are countless talented people out there. Especially those from the top clans."

His words were like cold water pouring on Chen Xue and Qin Weizhe.

"I will try my best." Qin Weizhe said solemnly.

Qin Jun took a jade box out and placed it on the table. "Father sent this to you."

Qin Weizhe opened the box curiously, and his eye widened in surprise when he saw a snow-white pill like a pearl inside. 

"This Snow Pearl can protect you against any Divine Foundation Realm," Qin Jun explained. "Since no rule prohibits an artifact, you can use this during the banquet."

"I understood." Qin Weizhe said with a serious expression. "I won't let everyone down."

Chen Lan looked at Qin Weizhe and Chen Xue meaningfully. "We will leave next month. Do what you need to do."

Qin Weizhe and Chen Xue glanced at each other and nodded.

Meanwhile, Huang Yuchun was angry inwardly as he was treated like an air here. He secretly swore that he would make them kneel once he successfully entered the academy.

Chen Xue asked curiously. "Why did the academy suddenly want to recruit more?"

Chen Lan shook her head and said. "We have no idea as well. However, our elders guessed it should be related to the Heavenhold Realm King."

Chen Xue, Qin Weizhe, and Huang Yuchun were surprised to hear this. The Heavenhold Realm King was the most powerful person in this Heavenhold Realm. It was said he was a half-step away from stepping into the Divine Emperor Realm.

Once he became a Divine Emperor, the Heavenhold Realm would be automatically upgraded to the upper realm, according to the Divine Realm's regulation.

At that time, everyone here would gain massive benefits.

"Next year will be the ten thousandth anniversary of the Heavenhold Realm King. Maybe he's looking to accept a new disciple." Qin Jun added.

Although Chen Xue, Qin Weizhe, and Huang Yuchun were aware of their strength, it didn't prevent them from getting excited by this. After all, becoming the Heavenhold Realm King's disciple was like everyone's dream.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Qin Jun frowned slightly and spread his Divine Sense out.

Chen Lan noticed this and asked. "What's wrong?"

Qin Jun carefully scanned the surrounding for a while and shook his head. "Maybe I was overthinking. I felt as if someone was watching us earlier."

Chen Lan and the others were surprised. This room was protected by a divine-rank isolating formation. Even a Divine Spirit Realm expert couldn't penetrate it with their Divine Sense… Who could it be?

Qin Jun got up and said. "Prepare well."

"Yes." Qin Weizhe and Chen Xue responded solemnly and watched as Qin Jun and Chen Lan left.

Inside the hut, Yun Lintian retracted his Divine Sense and said to himself. "The royal banquet?"

Naturally, Yun Lintian had no intention of participating in this pointless competition. After all, he wasn't interested in joining the academy. 

However, this information allowed him to roughly understand the general situation of this Heavenhold Realm. Unlike the Azure World, the Heavenhold Realm King seemed to have absolute power here. It was understandable why everyone wanted to become his disciple.

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. Although this information was useful for him, it wasn't something he was looking for.

This Qin Jun's perception is not bad. He almost caught me. It seems a practitioner here cannot be underestimated in the slightest… Yun Lintian thought.

Qin Jun's profound strength had already reached the peak of the Divine Foundation Realm at sixty years old. Although Yun Lintian didn't think Qin Jun's talent was anything special, it was still impressive, counting how remote the Chu Country was.

It could be seen how high the ceiling of the Divine Realm was. Even someone from a remote place could actually reach the divinity at the age of sixty. What about those people in the capital city or higher?

According to Hongyue, only achieving divinity below the age of twenty could be considered a heavenly talent. As for the rest, it didn't count.

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency was born in Yun Lintian's heart. His strength might be several times better than his peers, but he was no different from an ant in front of those giants. 

It could be said that he was fortunate enough to appear here and meet Ning Yue instead of others. Otherwise, he might have become a cold corpse by now.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and closed his eyes, starting his first training session after coming here.

"We are truly lucky. There are so many third-rank herbs here." Hao Lie said happily while carefully picking a blue orchid up according to Ning Yue's guidance.

Ning Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the bamboo basket on her back with a contented smile. Although these herbs would eventually fall into Huang Yuchun's hands in the end, she was still happy about the harvest today. 

In the future, she could come here to find a third-rank herb and sell it to the Medicine Hall for some good meals and materials.

"Let's go back. It will be night soon." Hao Lie put the blue orchid into his basket and looked at the dimmed sky. 

Ning Yue nodded gently.

"Roar!"

Just as the two were about to leave, a familiar deafening roar suddenly echoed, causing them to freeze on the spot.

Hao Lie quickly scanned the surroundings but couldn't find anything as usual. 

Without hesitation, he quickly grabbed Ning Yue's arm and prepared to run.

Bang!

The moment Hao Lie started to run, he immediately crashed into something, causing him to fall backward. 

Ning Yue looked at the path ahead in confusion as she didn't see anything at all. It was as if Hao Lie had just hit an invisible wall.

Hao Lie's face was pale as a white sheet. He didn't care about the pain as he got up from the ground and said grimacingly. "How could there be a formation here?"

Ning Yue turned to look at Hao Lie in puzzlement as if she wanted to ask him what the formation was…
