Chapter 522 - The Cultivation Zone

“Well, these are all things that happened a long time ago. With the current strength of the Cloud Mist Academy, no one dares to offend us. Don’t worry, everyone. You just need to focus on your cultivation.” The old man stroked his beard and said.

Of course, no one would worry about it. They were just curious. Who could shake Cloud Mist Academy? 30 minutes later, the teacher finally finished his draggy lecture, and the new students also dispersed like a gust of wind.

And the two Senior Brothers waiting outside could not wait any longer, so they led the hundreds of new students to the public training area. Of course, everyone was more interested in cultivation than the literary class.

The public cultivation area was not on the floating island of the Wind-heeding Pavilion but on the back mountain of the main peak, where countless Energy-gathering Formations were at.

Mist Mountain was very big. Fortunately, with the help of teleportation formation, they soon arrived at the back mountain. As soon as they arrived here, Xiao Chen immediately felt an unusual fluctuation of spiritual force, which was much more abundant than the outside.

Of course, the new disciples also felt the abundance of spirit energy. With a smile on their faces, many young girls stretched out their arms and slightly ran their Mystic Power. The spirit energy was pulled over through the mountain mist, forming pieces of light white water droplets, leaping gently between their fingers.

“Wow… to be able to condense into a bead, the Spiritual Qi here is so abundant.” The girls looked extremely excited.

The two Senior Brothers gave a faint smile. “This is only the Outer Area. The real training area is there.” As they say so, they point at several floating islands in the air in the distance.

There were clouds and mountains in the sky. The floating islands were arranged in the east, south, west, and north. In the middle, there was a special floating island. The two Senior Brothers smiled and said, “That’s the real cultivation area. There are four places, divided into First Class, Second Class, Third Class, and Fourth Class. Now I’ll take you to the First Class area first, where the Spiritual Qi is the most abundant.”

The new students were extremely excited and followed the Senior Brothers to the island. It was not impossible for them to ride on their swords to ascend. However, there was teleportation formation in many places in Mist Mountain, so they naturally saved their energy and went up through the teleportation formation.

And the four floating islands were also very big, enough to accommodate thousands of people. Hundreds of new people came to the First Class cultivation area in the east. The island was surrounded by clouds and mist, and many drops of water with a faint white light floated in the air. Every time someone passed by, they would automatically drift away instead of touching people.

“These are all… Pearl of the Mystic Springs automatically formed by Spiritual Qi!”

Everyone exclaimed. How abundant the anima energy was in order to form such a droplet of Spiritual Qi through the clouds? This was not the normal rain in the clouds.

Xiao Chen was also slightly surprised. The Spiritual Qi here was really abundant, and it was no less than that in the cultivation ground of Mystic Cyan Mountain. The crowd was surprised and walked forward for some distance. Only then did they find that there were already a hundred or two hundred old disciples in cyan badges sitting cross-legged in this cultivation area.

The senior disciples all closed their eyes and were cultivating. Their breathing was steady and was not asleep. Obviously, they noticed that there were newcomers. But they pretended that they did not hear anything and continued to cultivate.

Originally, this floating island was large enough to accommodate thousands of people, but because they were spread out, it became difficult for the 500+ newcomers to get in. The newcomers looked at each other in dismay. “Isn’t this the area for newcomers to cultivate? Why are there senior disciples?” For a moment, many people looked at the two senior brothers who brought them here.

The two Senior Brothers obviously did not expect this. Of course, they knew that the training area of newcomers would be open to the public one month before the newcomers came, so some senior disciples would come here to cultivate. However, they did not expect that these senior disciples had not left yet. They were really a bit shameless.

Xiao Chen frowned and immediately understood what was going on. The place where senior disciples cultivated was also divided into four classes. The Spiritual Qi there was relatively more abundant than that in the newcomer area. However, the First Class training area in the newcomer area was stronger than the Third or Fourth Class areas of the senior disciples no matter what. These old disciples were assigned to the Third or Fourth Class areas, so they came here to cultivate.

The two Senior Brothers stepped forward and said, “Today is the last day of September. Why are you still in the newcomer area?”

However, after talking for a long time, no one paid any attention to them. Those senior disciples sat cross-legged in the cultivation area shamelessly as if they heard nothing.

A few moments later, several senior disciples slowly opened their eyes and glanced at the newcomers. “What’s wrong? It’s not October yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think we still stay here and don’t want to leave?”

Subsequently, more and more senior disciples opened their eyes and looked impatient, as if they were disturbed by someone. All of them looked very agitated.

Originally, the newcomer area was prepared for newcomers. It was already welfare for them to practice here for a month. Without newcomers, they could not even have that. Now that the newcomers were here, they should have made way for them. However, these people all seemed very annoyed. Since the newcomers were here, they could not cultivate here any longer. It was as if the newcomers had owed them a lot.

“Since October hasn’t arrived yet, who told you to come?” a senior disciple asked impatiently.

The Senior Brother who led the newcomers said, “It’s naturally the grandmaster who told us to come here.” He could not be said it was the Third Grandmaster. Otherwise, as soon as they heard that they were just disciples of Shui Yue, the more these people would not give up the place.

“Which Grandmaster?”

“It’s Third Grandmaster!” The newcomer did not understand the reason, so someone shouted loudly and even felt proud.

“Hehe, Shui Yue’s disciple?” The senior disciple smiled faintly and narrowed his eyes again. He did not even bother to pay attention to them anymore.

“This…” The new students looked at each other in dismay. They dared to call the Third Grandmaster’s name directly. They were so presumptuous.

A few moments later, a few senior disciples saw that the group of newcomers was still unwilling to leave. One of them said, “In this training area, at least one person has to be ranked on Earth Ranking. Have any of you managed to enter Earth Ranking?”

Many senior disciples sneered a few times. In their opinion, no newcomer could enter Earth Ranking, but Xiao Chen just made it yesterday. This matter had not yet been spread.

Two disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion looked at Xiao Chen at this time. Qin Tianyu, who was next to Xiao Chen, said loudly, “Don’t look down on us! Brother Chen has reached the 69th place on Earth Ranking yesterday! He is stronger than many of you!”

Upon hearing this, the senior disciples suddenly had more spirits. Some of them looked at the newcomers while others looked at the Mystic Sky Pavilion. There were three beams of light on the sky. It was the image of the three stone tablets of Mystic Sky Rankings. There was a real-time ranking on them, which allowed the disciples to observe the changes in the rankings at any time.

Many people looked at the green light, only to see the word “Xiao Chen” floating on the top of the list. Was there really a newcomer who got on Earth Ranking as soon as he came? After all, even they had been here for several years, but they could not get on Earth Ranking.

All senior disciples looked at Xiao Chen. Of course, Mystic Sky Rankings could not represent everything. What was more, he had just barely made it to the bottom of Earth Ranking. As old disciples, they would not admit defeat because of a newcomer who ranked at the bottom of Earth Ranking.

“Forget it.” A senior disciple casually shook his hand and said, “Anyway, there is only half a day left. There is nothing to fight for during this half a day. We will leave tomorrow. You can go to other areas first and make do with it.”

The two Senior Brothers of the Wind-heeding Pavilion frowned. This group of people was really like sticky candy and refused to leave. It seemed that they would have to wait until all the other three groups of newcomers came. At that time, they would be willing to leave the area assigned by the First Grandmaster.

One of them looked at Xiao Chen and said with a slight apology, “Junior Brother Xiao, why don’t we go to another area first?”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Anyway, they were not short of two days. He did not want to have a conflict with them because of such a small thing. At the moment, everyone looked at the other areas and saw many people sitting in the Second Class district. There were not many people in the Third Class district, and no one in the Fourth Class district.

“Forget it. Let’s go to the Fourth Class district first,” a Senior Brother said helplessly. If they were First Grandmasters disciples, these senior disciples would not dare to bully them.

Then they went to the Fourth Class district. On this floating island, there was also a clear stream with green grass. As the stream flowed to the edge of the island, a colorful waterfall appeared.

However, the scenery was not bad, but relatively speaking, Spiritual Qi was much thinner. There were no drops of Spiritual Qi floating in the air. Of course, there was plenty of Spiritual Qi here. However, they had just come down from the First Class district, so they naturally felt that the Spiritual Qi was much thinner. At this moment, many people showed some disappointment.

The two Senior Brothers were slightly apologetic. They originally wanted to ask them to go to the best district in the next few days. Unexpectedly, it turned out like this. They smiled and said, “It’s okay. In a few days, when the other three groups of newcomers arrive and the district distribution is finished, they will naturally leave.”

After hearing this, the newcomers finally relaxed their frowns. Qin Tianyu laughed loudly and said, “Don’t worry. Brother Chen has gotten into the Earth Ranking, the First Class District is ours for sure! We’ll just make do with it for two days!”

In addition to the four floating islands in the north, south, east, and west, there was the largest island in the middle. Xiao Chen felt a strong fluctuation of a formation from it. The clouds above the island looked like a huge whirlpool, which was very strange. It did not seem to be a place for cultivation. He asked, “Senior Brother, what’s the use of that island?”

“That one?” A Senior Brother looked over there and said with a mysterious smile, “Not everyone dares to go up that one. You’ll know when the time comes.”

A few days passed quickly. The hundreds of newcomers of Wind-heeding Pavilion had been staying in the Fourth Class district these days. Although they were a little depressed, when they thought that those senior disciples would leave soon and they soon would be able to go to the First Class district, they were less upset.

Today was the third day of October. The other three groups of newcomers had also arrived. Now, they were all gathered at the back mountain to listen to the cultivation area arranged by the elders. Hundreds of newcomers from Wind-heeding Pavilion also set off to the back mountain early in the morning. Under Xiao Chen’s leadership, they were all smiling.

In the past few days, most people had regarded Xiao Chen as their Senior Brother. They all relied on him to cultivate in the first-class area. Of course, some of them, who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, were not so convinced. They thought that Xiao Chen could enter Earth Ranking because his cultivation was higher than theirs. If they were given enough time, they could also enter Earth Ranking.

30 minutes later, they arrived at the back mountain and saw more than a thousand people standing in the open space in three batches. In the distance, many senior disciples also came. Some of them stepped on the flying swords, while others stood on the mountain peaks, talking incessantly.

Something seemed to have happened.
