The Peerless Emperor

In the passage through the Void, a Void Ship traveled at a terrifying speed, far surpassing the speed of the one previously captained by Lan Fenger.

After all, the pilot of this Void Ship was Lan Yi.

It was only at departure that Lin Qian and Ye Xin learned that Lan Fenger and Ye Nanxin had already gone ahead on their own, leaving them both dumbfounded.

Only after reading the notes they left did they understand that those two had been in secluded cultivation to break through to the next realm in recent days, and had been too busy dealing with affairs concerning the Huaxia Empire.

Additionally, Ye Nanxin and Lan Fenger wanted to spend some time alone, which is why they had left ahead of the others.

"Fenger, that girl, she really is…" Regarding this, Lan Yi was quite displeased, "What kind of mother does that, leaving her own daughter and son-in-law behind to go ahead first!"

"Grandfather, calm down, it's okay. With you escorting us, we can save a lot of time," Ye Xin said with a light laugh, attempting to comfort her grandfather.

Lan Yi nodded gently, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at Ye Xin, "Xinxin is much more sensible than your mother."

A moment later, Lan Yi worriedly asked, "That… Little Qian is alright, isn't he?"

"He's fine. He's just a bit shaken up, but he'll recover soon," Ye Xin reassured her grandfather, clearly understanding what he was referring to.

Lin Qian had accumulated five hundred silver chests over five years, planning to open them all at once.

However, after he opened one hundred chests, he found only two Diamond Elixir Potions and six Diamond Experience Potions.

But when it was Lan Yi's turn to try his luck with the chests, out of one hundred silver chests, he shockingly obtained ninety-eight bottles of Diamond Elixir Potions, with only two chests not producing Diamond-grade items.

This outcome deeply disappointed Lin Qian, who decided not to touch the remaining three hundred chests and retreated into a room to frantically wash his face and hands.

Meanwhile, he muttered words that Ye Xin couldn't understand—words spoken in an unusual language that Lin Qian had used when he had fought the Purple Demon Fish and spoken with a mysterious man.

If there were people from a past epoch of the Huaxia here, they would definitely understand Lin Qian's exclamation: "So unlucky, my luck is so bad! If this were a livestream, people would probably die laughing."

Despite this, Lin Qian merely sighed to himself, knowing that with such a lucky family member, he would never lose out in future lotteries.

Lin Qian had firmly decided never to gamble again—it was like a curse!

Soon enough, the Void Ship arrived at the location of the Sea Spiral Saint Institute.

When the Void Ship came to a halt within the void, Lin Qian stepped onto the deck to gaze at the so-called Sea Spiral Saint Institute and was immediately dazzled by the sight before him.

For there, within the void, a vast continent appeared, not spherical like a planet, but a true and solid expanse of land, serenely suspended in the outer void.

This massive land was surrounded by tranquil rivers and mountains, boasting many awe-inspiring floating islands.

Beside this vast continent were seven motionless planets, silently stationed in the void, not spinning, as if restrained by some force.

The flowing river waters from the continent flowed out and, instead of dispersing in the outer void, spread out and fell onto three planets below.

Above the continents, upon two immense stars, water flowed endlessly like ceaseless sources, forming two celestial waterfalls that descended upon the two seas on either side of the continent.

The planet that bore these water sources sent rivers flowing in two other directions as well, eventually reaching other planets, and thus, the cycle went on endlessly.

"This is the Sea Spiral Holy Institute," the Void Ship slowly made its way toward the Institute, and Lan Yi explained to Lin Qian and Ye Xin onboard, "The continent within holds the inner Institute, while the other seven planets are the outer Institute. Once you pass the trials, you will become disciples of the outer Institute and will be assigned to one of those stars."

As they drew closer to the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, the Institute's extraordinary nature became more evident—just the sight before them was enough to astonish anyone.

Indeed, even a fool could tell that the breathtaking scene before the Sea Spiral Holy Institute was artificially crafted.

Not only Lan Yi's Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan's Void Ship but countless other Void Ships from all directions headed toward the emerald star among the seven stars of the Institute.

Lan Yi's Void Ship did the same, arriving at the emerald star where it finally rested.

After the Void Ship landed, Lan Yi stored it away, and they found themselves in front of a vast city.

Upon entering the city, Lan Yi led them straight to a courtyard within: "This property belongs to our clan. There's still about a month before the trials begin. Rest here for the time being. I'll return after the trials are over."

After touring the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan's estate, Lan Yi then took Lin Qian and Ye Xin to the central square of the city.

The city, aptly named Trialist City, was specifically used for the Sea Spiral Holy Institute's trials.

The trial square was bustling with countless races, many of which neither Lin Qian nor Ye Xin had ever seen before. Some transformed into human forms to accelerate their cultivation, while others preferred to keep their original appearances, and some were similar to the Human Clan.

It was indeed an eye-opening experience for Lin Qian and Ye Xin.

Especially for Lin Qian, who curiously observed his surroundings; after all, there weren't such diverse races in the games of his past life.

In the trial square, there was a huge Soul Power curtain displaying the specifics of the trials.

Lin Qian and Ye Xin read through the rules carefully:

Trialists must be under one hundred years old.

Trialists must bring between one hundred and three thousand followers to participate in the trials, and the followers' realm must not exceed three levels above that of the trialist.

Trialists may form alliances freely.

Trialists may use any Pill or Soul Device, provided their quality does not surpass the realm of the participant.

These rules were merely the rigid guidelines; more specific requirements would be announced at the start of the trials.

But even these details showed Lin Qian just how unique the Sea Spiral Holy Institute was. A trial to accept students that allowed bringing followers?

What if someone's own strength was lacking, but their followers were exceptionally strong? Could they too enter the Institute?

Why?
