In the blink of an eye, Su Chen had been in the Heavenly Dao Academy for three days.
In these three days, he had a basic understanding of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Just as the First Elder had said, there were no rules in the Heavenly Dao Academy. The only thing to do was to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate!
If you wanted something, you just had to write a list and put it in a special place. The next day, someone would deliver it to your door.
As long as it was something that could be taken out from the Sacred Ground, whether it was a top cultivation method, a top pill, or a top spirit treasure, they could all be obtained. These cultivation resources that were priceless in the eyes of outsiders were all expendable goods in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Academy's disciples.
However, it would be foolish to think that life in the Heavenly Dao Academy was so easy.
In these three days, Su Chen went through at least ten tests.
There were specialized experts who came to help Su Chen measure his current level of strength.
Yuan power, soul power, speed, stamina, physique, cultivation progress …
All the data related to cultivation had to be recorded and recorded in detail.
This would be the basis of every test for the next ten years.
As long as Su Chen's strength did not reach the standard in one test, he would be kicked out of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The Heavenly Dao Academy seemed calm and peaceful, but the competition within was unimaginable.
In the past three days, Su Chen found that there were five other people in the Heavenly Dao Academy. However, these five people didn't show up at all. They cultivated during the day and at night. They didn't even have time to rest. Even when they rarely slept, they were still refining the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
Su Chen knew that there were many cultivation maniacs in this world who did not care about anything other than cultivation. However, compared to the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy, they paled in comparison.
Su Chen guessed that these five people were like him, not official disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
As for where the official disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy were, Su Chen did not know. Perhaps they did not need to undergo any tests and could move freely.
"Don't tell me I have to cultivate here for ten years?"
Su Chen frowned. Ten years was too long. He didn't want to stay here for so long. He wanted to return to the Eastern Sea Region as soon as possible.
Just as Su Chen was racking his brains, he suddenly saw the Dazzling Yin-Yang Butterfly fly down from the sky.
Chan Miao jumped down into the courtyard of Su Chen's residence. Seeing Su Chen's frown, she angrily said: "Su Chen, you have already joined the Heavenly Dao Academy, so why are you still so unhappy? I have begged Grandpa several times, but he said that my talents are not up to standard and that I am not qualified to join the academy."
"Ten years is too slow. I can't wait that long." Su Chen shook his head helplessly.
Chan Miao could not help but roll her eyes. "Experts go into seclusion for more than ten years. If you can't even endure this, can you still be considered a cultivator?"
"Then why don't we trade?" Su Chen said.
Chan Miao awkwardly smiled: "Okay, I admit that my lack of willpower is the main reason why Grandpa didn't allow me to join the academy."
Chan Miao didn't dare to imagine the feeling of suffering in this tiny place for ten years.
Chan Miao suddenly said: "Oh right, if you want to pass the exam as soon as possible, there is actually a chance. If you are strong enough, one month will be enough."
"How?"
"Break through to the Reincarnation Realm."
"Uh …"
Su Chen was speechless: "If the Reincarnation Realm is so easy to break through, then I don't need you to tell me."
Su Chen had been through the last nine major tribulations for quite some time. He had been cultivating quite a bit these days, but his progress was slow. With his current cultivation speed, even if he had a sufficient supply of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as a divine medicine like the Dao Heart Lotus that could speed up his cultivation, coupled with a top-notch cultivation technique like the Yang Refinement into the Body, even if he cultivated day and night, it would still take him three to five years.
This efficiency would scare a group of cultivators to death, but to Su Chen, it was still too slow.
"Actually, there is another way." Chan Miao said.
"Speak."
Chan Miao said: "Even if you haven't reached the Reincarnation Realm, if you can use your own strength to defeat a Reincarnation Realm expert, then you can complete the exam ten years earlier. Back then, the previous Saintess Hong Shao used this method to complete the exam. She only used three months."
Using the strength of the Reincarnation Realm to defeat a Reincarnation Realm expert?
Challenging someone with a higher cultivation level wasn't a rare thing in the cultivation world. However, it was mostly done by those in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Once one's strength reached the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, it would be hard to achieve a higher cultivation level.
Su Chen's current strength was considered a peak existence in the Reincarnation Realm, but if he were to fight with a Reincarnation Realm expert, his chances of winning were very slim.
However, since the previous Saintess Hong Shao could do it, it meant that it wasn't impossible for a Reincarnation Realm expert to defeat a Reincarnation Realm expert.
Perhaps Su Chen could work hard in this direction.
"Oh right, why are you looking for me?" Su Chen asked.
Chan Miao snorted: "Who said I am looking for you? I am here to visit Sister Ziying."
As she spoke, Chan Miao flew out a kite.
In a short moment, a beautiful figure flew over and hugged Chan Miao tightly.
"Little Sister Chan Miao, you are finally here to visit Sister."
The girl had the appearance of 17 or 18 years old, and her strength was similar to Su Chen. She had also passed the last nine tribulations and was rushing towards the nine-nine great tribulation. Su Chen sensed the essence force fluctuation from her body and immediately knew that this girl was one of the other five disciples in the Heavenly Dao Academy. Moreover, she was the most hardworking one. Su Chen had been here for three days, and she didn't stop cultivating for even a second. Furthermore, she consumed the heaven and earth essence force at the fastest speed.
"Don't mention it. Recently, Little Sister has been extremely unlucky and encountered many troublesome matters. Fortunately, everything is finally over, so I immediately came to visit Sister Ziying."
Chan Miao said. It seemed like she had a good relationship with Ziying.
Ziying's gaze landed on Su Chen as she asked curiously: "You are the newcomer, right? I heard that you comprehended the Righteous Dao Art when you were undergoing the Saint Light Baptism. You boasted quite loudly, but your strength is just average. I don't know why the Grand Elder chose you."
Her tone was very aggressive.
Su Chen's face instantly turned ugly.
Chan Miao smiled awkwardly and introduced: "Su Chen, this is Senior Sister Wang Ziying. She is Elder Wang Lu's granddaughter, our sacred ground's signature beauty, and the number one talent under the Sea Reincarnation Realm. She is the most likely candidate for the saintess position that has been vacant for many years."
"What is there to introduce? He is just an opportunist. I have seen many people like him. Even if he is lucky enough to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy, let alone ten years, he probably won't be able to last the first year. Chan Miao, let's go. Don't interact with such people in the future.
Wang Ziying snorted and pulled Chan Miao to leave.
