Chapter 972 - 871: Restless Mind
For the majority of Martial Artists, upon hearing that they had finally completed the task assigned by the Ascension Academy Elders, they felt immense joy and never thought deeper about what made this task so special.Returning to his dwelling, Duan Gujin's mind was constantly swirling with images of the Thunder Sect Secret Hall he had previously seen, always feeling that there were unimaginable things inside.
As he had guessed, the Ascension Academy dispatched more than a dozen elders in the indicated direction to stand before that white castle.
Upon seeing the white castle, each of them gasped.
"My god! This truly is the Thunder Sect Secret Hall! It seems to be the Bai Xue Palace of the Ice Empress!"
"It must be right, this should indeed be the Bai Xue Palace of the Ice Empress!"
After a discussion, the elders concluded that the white palace they saw was a palace documented in the Classics of the Thunder Extreme Ancient Domain.
The owner of this palace was the renowned Ice Empress, a woman who resided in a frigid corner of the Thunder Extreme Ancient Domain.
In ancient times, when besieged by powerful foes, the Ice Marquis used her palace as a suppressive weapon to subdue the invading Demons.
The elders present extended their Divine Sense, quickly sensing a Demon suppressed beneath the white palace.
Duan Gujin and others' Divine Sense could not penetrate here, but the Ascension Academy Elders, who were not weak, naturally had the ability to detect the suppressed Demon.
At that time, those Demons continually invaded the Thunder Extreme Ancient Domain and thirty thousand other Planes.
At that time, the experts of these ancient domains naturally declared war on all invaders, spending significant costs and sacrificing many experts to finally suppress all invading Demons.
Among the thirty thousand Small Planes, there were actually many Forbidden Lands.
In reality, those Forbidden Lands were areas where ancient domain experts created barriers to prevent disruption by Martial Artists from Small Planes and prevent the Demon's allies from rescuing the suppressed Demons.
Meanwhile, setting up Forbidden Lands could also extend the lifespan of the Sealing Array.
The current task was for Divine World experts to let Ascension Academy Disciples find those Sealing Arrays, and then those Divine World experts would check the condition of the Demons within the Sealing Arrays.
The Divine World experts had calculated that the Ascension Academy Disciples could not destroy the Sealing Arrays in the Forbidden Lands, hence they simply mentioned that the task was to find relics within those Forbidden Lands.
Whether or not the Ascension Academy Disciples could find them depended on their fortune.
The high-ranking officials of the Ascension Academy did not pay much attention to this test's results, knowing that they would not place great importance on the scores of this Ascension Academy Disciples' test.
At this time, the Ascension Academy Disciples did not know that they were being used by the Academy Elders as errand runners. Those Martial Artists who found relics were secretly delighted, while those who did not find any silently vowed to be more cautious in the next test.
The reason Divine World experts acted in this manner was to completely eliminate the Demons present in the Small Planes to prevent them from being used by Otherworld powerhouses in the future.
For the Divine World, those Demons suppressed within the thirty thousand Small Planes were a hidden threat.
If this threat is not removed now, in case Zhao Wuji and other Otherworld experts release those Demons, endangering the thirty thousand Small Planes, the Divine World experts will face considerable challenges capturing Zhao Wuji and other Otherworld experts.
The goal of the Divine World to access the thirty thousand Small Planes was straightforward: they could not let Zhao Wuji and other Otherworld experts hide amongst them, requiring all efforts to prevent the invasion of Otherworld experts.
Even though the thirty thousand Small Planes were not the primary battlefield of the Divine World, Immortal Domain, and Otherworld, the experts knew these Small Planes would become crucial battlefields in the future, prompting them to clear out the existing Demon threats early, blocking the Otherworld from benefiting.
Ten days later, Duan Gujin and Mo Yan returned to the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect together.
Upon entering, Sect Leader Tang Chaoyang conveyed groundbreaking news to them.
"The Divine World experts have already destroyed Ming Kun!"
Hearing this news filled them with immense joy.
Duan Gujin realized the Divine World dispatched three experts to investigate the Forbidden Lands in the Chaotic Ancient Continent, with Tang Chaoyang naturally revealing to them the location of the Wanshi Mountain.
Subsequently, Tang Chaoyang led three Divine World experts into the Wanshi Mountain, showing them the Sealing Array's location.
Later, he witnessed the three Divine World experts strengthening the Sealing Array, locating Ming Kun, and eventually eradicating Ming Kun, leaving the Wanshi Mountain free of Ming Kun henceforth.
"That's fantastic!"
Duan Gujin felt immense joy knowing that Ming Kun would no longer be a threat to him.
With Ming Kun gone, it meant Tang Chaoyang and others would not experience the massacre that befell them in the previous lifetime, nor would Mo Yan suffer having his right arm severed in the past.
"I finally understand why the Divine World had us venture into the thirty thousand Small Planes' Forbidden Lands. The Divine World experts aimed to eliminate the Demons sealed within those lands, likely taking precautions against Zhao Wuji utilizing those sealed Demons for chaos!"
Two hours later, Duan Gujin and Mo Yan returned to the Ascension Academy together.
"Mo Yan, from now on, you no longer need to worry about the Chaotic Ancient Continent! We must focus on cultivation to eventually become legitimate Divine World beings!"
Duan Gujin encouraged.
"Alright!"
Previously, Mo Yan was immensely worried that Ming Kun might attack the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect, but knowing that Ming Kun was vanquished by the Divine World experts filled him with gratitude for their assistance.
"The Divine World lives up to its name; despite some cruel individuals, there are many warm-hearted people here!"
Having witnessed hundreds of Demigod Realm experts in the Divine World slaughtering each other, Mo Yan initially felt Divine World beings were not as friendly as he once thought.
However, after the Divine World experts exterminated Ming Kun, he once more believed in the competence of Divine World.
Upon returning to the Ascension Academy, Duan Gujin and Mo Yan entered seclusion for cultivation.
Time passed slowly, and a month later, Duan Gujin turned twenty years old officially.
"I never expected to have not broken through to Martial Saint Third Level till now!"
Throughout these days, despite feeling on the verge of Martial Saint Third Level, every time he attempted to break through, he found himself lacking the strength to do so, unable to complete the breakthrough.
"Could it be that I haven't solidified enough? Or am I missing a Spiritual Medicine to stimulate latent potential?"
He knew that in the previous lifetime, the time taken to transition from Martial Saint Second Level to Third Level was significantly longer. Despite possessing almost the best Cultivation Resources and practicing the finest Cultivation Techniques now, and having touched upon the edge of Martial Saint Third Level, his instincts told him he was close to advancing.
Pondering over it, he realized his anxiety and thought it might be due to his unsettled mind.
