Chapter 448 - A Furnace of Righteousness!

"Yes." Feng Qingcong nodded.

"Why?" Yun Xiao asked.

"I'm not entirely sure myself. It's been passed down from my ancestors. They say that after the demise of the Martial Emperor Clan, the Three Immortals wanted to abolish the Primordial Academy. But they failed; otherwise, it would have been devoured long ago. How could it have lasted until now?" Feng Qingcong explained.

"This also shows that the Three Immortals' control over all beings is not flawless..." Yun Xiao remarked.

"Indeed! But it's still unknown where their weakness lies." Feng Qingcong shook his head.

"I'll take my leave first, thank you, Senior Feng, for clearing up my confusion." Without saying more, Yun Xiao gave a respectful bow to Feng Qingcong and then returned to his seat.

"Do you plan to go to the Mystic Zenith Temple alone?" Blue Star asked, popping up.

Yun Xiao glanced at the sky and said, "It's still noon. I'll add a bit more to my resources and wait until it gets dark."

"Hehe." Blue Star chuckled. In the darkness of the night, a killing god was about to enter the scene.

Yun Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground. He had intended to increase his Runes, but without an inscription compendium, he had to give up for the time being.

"First, increase my cultivation," Yun Xiao said. Looking in at his Dantian from the viewpoint of his Genesis Spirit, he circulated the primordial Sacred Wheel beneath him, with the sacred power flowing through.

Time passed as the artificial sun in the sky moved to the west, about to

set sail

, while in the direction of the eastern bow of the divine ark, a silver moon was rising, its silver moonlight beginning to sprinkle across the Primordial Ruins.

"A two-stage breakthrough, reaching the Establishment Sacred Wheel Realm!"

Inside Yun Xiao's Dantian, the primordial Sacred Wheel had grown to its limit. A vast power shook his entire body!

The Primordial Martial Furnaces in his body were also being strengthened in the forging process, complementing the Nine Suns Dantian, raising Yun Xiao's power even more.

"Five Decays Realm, huh? The air has that flavor." Yun Xiao stood up, sniffing slightly. The air seemed to carry a more solemn and deadly aura. "The Five Decays Realm, half die with each decline? I wonder if I will die..."

He looked at the Primordial Pagoda. The pagoda's light was gentle, like a flower in a world of chaos.

"Lian Xi, wait for me to return." Yun Xiao finished speaking and quietly left the area.

Now, in the Primordial Ruins, it seemed no one paid him any more mind. The Primordial Academy at night was devoid of any figures! In the span of a day, it was as if everyone had evaporated on the spot! Only the moon in the sky, casting a ghostly glow, stretched Yun Xiao's shadow long.

Looking around, only the Mystic Zenith Temple ahead still had lights symbolizing righteousness, with an oppressive heat wave emanating from it, like a furnace of righteousness.

Yun Xiao stood in the wind, his brow suddenly furrowing.

"Why not go in?" Blue Star asked, noticing his odd demeanor.

"The War Princess has encountered the Human Zenith Immortal," Yun Xiao replied.

It was nighttime in the Blood Devil Ruins!

Under the heavens, endless rotten, thick black blood formed boundless blood marshes, emitting towering resentment.

Surrounding the Blood Devil Ruins were all sorts of evil spirits and ghosts. Dense blood fog rose, blocking the sun, significantly affecting the lives and cultivation of many people in the surrounding worlds.

This was a land of death and gloom, where the mournful wind seemed to carry the cries of a whole clan.

BOOM!

Suddenly, countless storms spiraled towards the sky, the blood color staining the heavens and earth.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Above that vast sky, a figure in a gold and black robe floated, blood wind lifting his hair, his face hidden behind a sea of swords, revealing only his cold sharpness.

HUM!

He suddenly pointed his finger! A hundred-meter long sword light suddenly pierced into the black blood sea, exploding into endless blood waves.

Within the blood sea, a slender and explosive blood mist phantom with dark red eyes looked towards the sky, her lithe body nimbly shifting, dodging this sword!

"Little witch," the figure high above said with a tone of teasing and curiosity, pressing down.

The blood mist phantom scoffed, dispersing into the blood sea and disappearing in an instant.

"You can't run."

"This guy is truly terrifying. The underground rock layers beneath the Blood Devil Ruins have been shattered, with lots of magma emerging, mixing with the devil blood..."

Gradually, the Blood Devil Ruins seemed to ignite, the solidified black blood turning into boiling red streams. Solid turned to liquid! As a result, the efficiency of Yun Xiao's absorption of the Mortal Dust Blood Calamity increased tenfold.

"We have him to thank for this," Yun Xiao said.

"Whatever." The War Princess looked down towards the subterranean rock layers, where deep in the magma, a streak of blood light seemed to flash by.

"What is it?" Yun Xiao asked.

"Nothing, must have been my imagination."

The Mystic Zenith Temple, the Square of Righteous Law.... Over a hundred thousand people, both students and Sacred Sages of the Primordial Academy, gathered here! They sat on the ground, neatly arranged.

On a high platform, a red-robed woman and about twenty Dharma Crowns presided, each with a solemn gaze.

In front of them, there was a large cauldron!

Inside the cauldron was a liquid resembling milk, currently emitting white vapor that spread across the square with the wind, making the scene dreamlike under the illumination of lanterns and the moon. The expressions of the 100,000 seated individuals softened, immersed in comfort.

"Everyone," the red-robed woman suddenly spoke.

Over 100,000 people looked up simultaneously. Each young face was filled with peace.

"You are the young generation, the pillars of the future across all worlds! The Three Immortals have high hopes for you. And so, the Heavenly Order Temple has sent a true paragon of righteousness to our Mystic Zenith Temple, to personally teach you the Ascension Technique!" The red-robed woman pointed with her hand.

A golden-black sword light descended from the sky!

"Jian Xing!" His name sent a ripple through the Mystic Zenith Temple.

A youth in black and gold robes arrived. His Sword Soul appeared to be repaired from the damage Lian Xi dealt earlier in the day.

"Fellow brothers and sisters, I am Jian Xing, greetings to you all," the youth said with a smile, his approachability astonishing.

Under the mist, over 100,000 disciples of the academy responded with smiles.

"No matter how high one's talent is, if they become a fiend, they are a disaster for the people..."

Looking at Jian Xing, they couldn't help but think of Lian Xi and sighed.

"Let's begin!" the red-robed woman said to Jian Xing before descending with the other Dharma Crowns.

Only Jian Xing remained on the platform. He cleared his throat, about to begin his performance. But suddenly, an azure sword light fell from the sky, landing beside him.
