Invincible Divine Sword

After purchasing the Ninth Layer Dao Holy Water, Yang Xiaotian focused on cultivating the Primordial Universe Divine Body.

However, although he consumed ten mouthfuls of the Ninth Layer Dao Holy Water daily for cultivation, it would still take at least five hundred days for the Primordial Universe Divine Body to fully transform into the Hongmeng Holy Body. Therefore, in a short period, he couldn't hope for such a transformation.

A month later.

It was the start of the new semester.

Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu left the residence and headed towards Hongmeng Academy.

After dropping Yang Xiaotian off at the gates of Hongmeng Academy, Yang Xiaotian told Old Lu to wait for him to return.

During the freshman assessment, Old Lu could accompany Yang Xiaotian inside, but normally, outsiders weren't allowed into the academy.

With the Primordial Universe Divine Body and having passed through the Hongmeng Divine Hall at the Dao-Confirming First Layer, becoming the top scorer in the freshman assessment naturally garnered a lot of attention.

As soon as Yang Xiaotian entered the academy, he became the focus of numerous students and teachers.

However, just as Yang Xiaotian was heading towards the freshmen classroom, he was stopped by a group of people.

The ones blocking his way were upper-class students.

Leading them was a very robust young man with a single horn.

He crossed his arms over his chest, looking arrogantly at Yang Xiaotian, "Yang Xiaotian, isn't it? Don't think that just because you have the Primordial Universe Divine Body and passed through the Hongmeng Divine Hall that you're something extraordinary. Here at Hongmeng Academy, it's all about strength, and you're just at the Dao-Confirming First Layer."

"For someone like you, I could blow you away with a single sneeze."

The students behind him all laughed.

"Hu Dong, what do you think you're doing?" At this moment, Xie Qiu approached from a distance, reprimanding, "If you dare violate the rules of Hongmeng Academy, I'll have you detained in the back mountain immediately!"

The young man known as Hu Dong showed no fear upon facing Xie Qiu's reprimand. He laughed, "Vice-President, I'm just chatting with the new student, which doesn't violate the academy's rules, right?"

The other students remained silent and quickly bowed respectfully to Xie Qiu.

"Vice-President, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Hu Dong said, then led his group away, giving Yang Xiaotian a glance before leaving.

Yang Xiaotian watched Hu Dong's departing figure, puzzled, not understanding why this Hu Dong was hostile towards him, sensing his killing intent.

Yang Xiaotian cupped his fists towards Xie Qiu, "Thank you, Vice-President."

Xie Qiu waved his hand with a smile, "It's fine as long as you're alright. Let's go, I'll take you to register."

The only new student whom Vice-President Xie Qiu would personally escort for registration was Yang Xiaotian.

Xie Qiu glanced at Hu Dong as he left and said, "That Hu Dong is a disciple of the Hu Family. His grandfather is the patriarch, so you have to be cautious of him."

Mentioning Hu Dong, Xie Qiu seemed quite troubled.

Some academies always have a few troublemakers, and Hu Dong was one of them.

The Hu Family is one of the two oldest aristocratic families on the Three Pure Continents.

Backed by this sizable entity, Hu Dong was quite arrogant and unruly in the academy, frequently getting detained in the back mountain. Yet, once released, he maintained his arrogance and unruly behavior.

At this moment, Hu Dong, who was leaving, turned his head and gave Yang Xiaotian another look, chuckling.

Xie Qiu led Yang Xiaotian to the registration area for freshmen, and after registering, took Yang Xiaotian to the freshman classroom.

The freshman classroom was located on Eternal Sky Peak.

Hongmeng Academy was immense. If not for Xie Qiu's guidance, it would have taken Yang Xiaotian half a day just to reach Eternal Sky Peak.

Halfway up Eternal Sky Peak, there was a large plaza, and almost all the freshmen were already there, including Xiao Hong.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian's arrival, Xiao Hong didn't have a pleasant expression.

However, to Yang Xiaotian's surprise, their teacher for this semester turned out to be He Mei!

Yang Xiaotian naturally held no goodwill towards He Mei.

He Mei also felt complex seeing Yang Xiaotian.

"Alright, He Mei will explain some things you need to pay attention to as freshmen later, so I'll take my leave now." Xie Qiu said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, "If you have any issues, feel free to come to my cave mansion or find Dean Tang."

"Originally, Dean Tang wanted to personally accompany you for registration today, but something came up, and he had to go to the Heavenly Fire Royal Palace."

After Xie Qiu said this, he left under the farewells of the freshmen.

The freshmen were naturally envious and jealous seeing Yang Xiaotian being personally escorted by Vice-President Xie Qiu.

After Xie Qiu left, He Mei scanned the crowd, cleared her throat, and announced some rules of Hongmeng Academy. Then, she distributed several books to Yang Xiaotian and the others.

Among them, three books contained the three holy techniques mandatory for Hongmeng Academy freshmen.

In the Lower Realm, there were no holy techniques to learn, but after reaching the Holy Realm and entering the Saint Realm, one could learn holy techniques.

Holy techniques range from one to ten levels.

Above the ten levels are the Supreme Holy Skills, and above those are the Defying Heaven Holy Techniques.

Of course, Defying Heaven Holy Techniques are nearly unseen, as rare as the Defying Heaven Holy Body.

On the Three Pure Continents, only royal disciples from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom could practice level seven holy techniques.

"These three holy techniques are all level seven," He Mei said to the crowd, "According to Hongmeng Academy's regulations, within three years, all freshmen must master these three level seven holy techniques."

"Anyone who can't master them within three years will be expelled from Hongmeng Academy."

"No matter your talent, if you can't master these three level seven holy techniques within three years, you'll all be expelled from the academy, understood?"

He Mei said this while casting a glance at Yang Xiaotian.

All the freshmen were gleefully anticipating Yang Xiaotian's challenge.

These holy techniques could only be cultivated by those in the Saint Realm. How could Yang Xiaotian, at the Dao-Confirming Realm, cultivate them? If he couldn't cultivate them within three years, wouldn't he be expelled from Hongmeng Academy?

"The Outer Sect disciples of Hongmeng Academy undergo assessments every few years, and based on the assessment results, rankings are rearranged, and cultivation resources are reallocated," He Mei continued, "I hope you all work hard in these three years."

"After three years, strive for a good ranking in the assessment."

"Very well, everyone, return to your cave mansions to cultivate."

"If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me."

After saying this, He Mei floated away.

As a mentor for new students, He Mei had her cave mansion on the nearby mountain peak.

Comparatively, the cave mansions for Yan Xiaotian and the other freshmen were on Eternal Sky Peak.

Since Yang Xiaotian ranked first in the freshman assessment, he was assigned the number one cave mansion, located at the peak of Eternal Sky Peak. Here, the spiritual energy was the most concentrated of the entire peak, and the construction materials of the number one cave mansion were of much higher quality than those of other disciples' cave mansions, making it more conducive for cultivation.

Yang Xiaotian used his identity token to open the great array prohibition of the number one cave mansion, stepped inside, and was immediately greeted by a dense holy spirit aura. The entire cave mansion was magnificently built, spanning several miles with miniature mountains, spiritual springs, and complete with spiritual fruit elixirs and divine medicine.

All materials used were of Dao Holy Level.

Even though Yang Xiaotian's residence in the Heavenly Fire Royal City had been expanded and renovated, compared to this cave mansion, it was like a mere burrow.
