"Is the Divine Heavens Sect so powerful?" Su Chen asked.
Without waiting for Lu Qingling to speak, the little fatty interrupted, "Boss, you can just think from a higher perspective. The word 'Divine' in the Divine Heavens Sect is enough to explain everything. After all, the Divine Heavens Sect was founded by a Saint. It has been standing in the Xuanyuan Continent for 8,400 years."
"What is a Sage?" Su Chen asked.
Lu Qingling was going crazy. How could this person not know anything?
"Fatty, it's better if you explain."
The little fatty chuckled and sat next to Su Chen. He was very attentive and called him 'Boss' very diligently.
"Boss, you should know the division of realms for us cultivators. The four realms of Heaven, Earth, and Xuanyuan are collectively known as the Mortal Realm. The Foundation Establishment, Spirit Condensation, Rebirth, and Sea of Reincarnation are collectively known as the Bitter Sea Realm. The so-called Bitter Sea Realm is a sea of cages that binds all living beings. The purpose of cultivation is to escape the Bitter Sea Realm and reach the Opposite Heaven. All cultivators who escape the Bitter Sea Realm and reach the Opposite Heaven are called Sages."
"Cultivators who are stronger than the Sea of Reincarnation Realm?"
The little fatty nodded.
"Yes, escape the Bitter Sea Realm and become a Sage. This is the lifelong pursuit of all Bitter Sea Realm cultivators. However, this path is extremely difficult. In our Xuanyuan Continent, since ancient times, only a few people have successfully reached the Opposite Heaven."
"How strong are Sages?"
"No one knows."
The little fatty shook his head and said, "The cultivators of the Opposite Heaven are already able to escape the shackles of the Bitter Sea. They can fly freely in the sky and gallop through the galaxy. Legend has it that on the other side of the Bitter Sea, there is a place called the Paradise. There are Sages and powerful Immortal Cultivators everywhere."
"Immortal Cultivators?"
"Yes, Immortal Cultivators. Above the Paradise of the Opposite Heaven, there is an even more mysterious and great world. Even the Sages are attracted to it. It is said that the cultivation of Sages is also divided into four major realms. However, the specific realms are unknown. We call the four realms the Sage Realm."
Mortal Realm, Bitter Sea Realm, Sage Realm … Immortal Cultivators!
For a moment, Su Chen was fascinated.
He originally thought that as long as he left Nanjiang, he would be able to enter the real Immortal Cultivation World. But now, it seemed that the entire Xuanyuan Continent was not a real Immortal Cultivation World. Only cultivators who had escaped the sea of bitterness and entered the Othershore Heaven were qualified to cultivate against the heavens.
Lu Qingling smiled bitterly and said, "Prince Su, please don't take offense. This little fatty is usually ignorant and incompetent. He likes to daydream all day long. Saints and immortal cultivation are just empty talk. In the vast Xuanyuan Continent, there are hundreds of millions of living beings. How many saints can be born in the last ten thousand years? If you can't become a saint, you're doomed to fall into a sea of misery. As long as you live happily and brilliantly, anywhere is a paradise."
Su Chen laughed. "Miss Lu is right. As long as there is paradise in the heart, there will be paradise everywhere."
Lu Qingling blushed and lowered her head. "Thank you, Prince Su, for your praise."
Seeing this, the little fatty laughed and said, "Boss, take your time to chat with Senior Sister Lu. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
After the little fatty left, only Su Chen and Lu Qingling were left in the carriage. Lu Qingling was even more embarrassed and quickly tried to find a topic to ease the atmosphere.
Su Chen happened to be interested in the matters of Taiwu Academy and Northern Xuan Continent, so he took the opportunity to ask Lu Qingling for advice.
After a few conversations, the atmosphere gradually eased, and Su Chen also understood a lot of things.
The main thing was Taiwu Academy.
Although the dean of Taiwu Academy could not even enter the Divine Heavens Sect, but in the Northern Xuan Continent, he was the number one expert and the only Reincarnation Realm expert. Just this alone was enough to let Taiwu Academy stand at the peak of the Northern Xuan Continent.
If Su Chen wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible, going to Taiwu Academy was indeed the best choice.
Perhaps there were more powerful sects on other continents, but it would take a long time to cross the vast ocean. Su Chen was pressed for time, so it was naturally not suitable for him to consider going out to sea.
"Taiwu Academy is divided into the Outer Court, Inner Court, and Taiwu Academy. The Outer Court will recruit students every year. As long as one's aptitude is up to standard or can afford it, they can enter. However, the Inner Court is different. Entering the Inner Court requires one to pass a strict examination, and there are only a few spots each year.
As for Taiwu Academy, the threshold is even higher. It is a place where the dean of Taiwu Academy personally teaches. Cultivators who can enter Taiwu Academy are equivalent to the dean's personal disciples. Only those who are chosen by the dean can be actively recruited. "
Lu Qingling said, "It just so happens that Taiwu Academy is recruiting students for the Outer Court. Our Shuntian Escort Agency has a special recruitment spot. I can talk to Master and ask him to give this spot to Prince Su. At that time, Prince Su can enter Taiwu Academy to study. With Prince Su's strength, he should be able to enter Taiwu Academy soon. If he is lucky and is chosen by the dean, it is not impossible for him to enter Taiwu Academy."
"There's only one spot. Is it fine to give it to me?"
Lu Qingling said, "It's fine. Master usually dotes on me. Besides, our escort agency is filled with a bunch of boors. No one is willing to study at the academy."
"Then I will respectfully accept."
Chatting and laughing along the way, the escort team arrived at Stellar Sky City three days later.
Stellar Sky City was located at the center of the Northern Profound Continent. It was the largest city in the Northern Profound Continent.
The several imperial capitals of the Southern Border, compared to this enormous city in front of them, felt like a great magus in front of a grand magus.
"Stellar Sky City is protected by the Stellar Sky Formation. Cultivators below the Spirit Focus level are unable to fly in the city."
Lu Qingling said. The escort team slowly landed outside the southern gate and began to walk into the city.
When entering the city, Su Chen did indeed feel a strange Divine Glyph energy flowing through his body.
This Divine Glyph was very complicated. It should have come from a Grandmaster Divine Glyph Master or even a Grandmaster Divine Glyph.
Su Chen suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it.
In an instant, the surrounding Stellar Sky Formation seemed to be activated. It rippled with a layer of strange and brilliant aurora-like light.
Lu Qingling looked at Su Chen in shock, not knowing what had happened.
However, the Stellar Sky Formation did not stop Su Chen. This made Lu Qingling feel relieved.
However, not long after the escort team entered the city, before they reached the Shuntian Escort Agency, several Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing snow-white robes suddenly flew over and blocked the escort team's path.
Lu Qingling was slightly shocked. She hurriedly got off the car and said respectfully, "I am Lu Qingling, the escort of the Shuntian Escort Agency. May I know what business the Lord of the Four Gates City Patrol has?"
The Four Gates City Patrol was the most powerful elite team of the imperial family's city guards. Although there were not many of them, they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. They were used by the imperial family to protect the safety of the entire city.
Although Taiwu Academy was the boss in Stellar Sky City, the imperial family was still the ruler. Lu Qingling did not dare to offend them.
However, to Lu Qingling's surprise, the people from the City Patrol did not have their usual arrogant and despotic style. Instead, they lowered their heads very carefully and said carefully, "May I ask if there is a Divine Glyph Master in the carriage? The State Preceptor would like to invite this Lord into the palace for a meeting."
"Divine Glyph Master?"
Lu Qingling was dumbfounded. How could there be a Divine Glyph Master in her escort team?
Could it be …
