Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

On the bountiful continent, we have arrived at the Holy Ancestor City.

This is the heart of the entire bountiful continent, the seat of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, and a place revered by countless feudal lords.

The imperial city was majestic and resplendent, with countless tall buildings and palaces rising from the ground, demonstrating the majesty of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty.

To the east of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, there are numerous buildings stretching for hundreds of miles, exuding an aura of scholarship and radiating the light of civilization like a galaxy, illuminating this land as if it were a divine realm.

These buildings are the location of the first academy on the bountiful continent, the Celestial Academy.

Fang Qing and Yang Qi stood outside the Heavenly Academy, looking up.

In the distance, a towering archway stood, inscribed with three ancient and powerful characters: "Heavenly Position".

The handwriting flows like dragons and snakes, each stroke seemingly containing profound truths. Just a moment's gaze is enough to shake one's mind, as if an endless stream of martial arts essence is rushing towards you.

Behind the archway is a wide avenue leading to the heavens, paved with white jade and thousands of feet wide. Countless rare spiritual trees are planted on both sides, with specks of spiritual light floating among their branches and leaves. They are all spiritual roots that are more than a thousand years old.

At the end of the avenue, magnificent palaces and towers rise from the ground, including a towering scripture pavilion that reaches into the clouds, an alchemy tower that is as clear as glass, a martial arts arena that shines with golden light, and floating islands that float in the air, shrouded in celestial mist, where figures can be vaguely seen moving about, just like a sacred land of immortals.

Yang Qi was deeply moved and couldn't help but murmur, "This is... the Heavenly Academy?"

Although he grew up in Yandu City, he had never seen such a sight before. The grandeur of the Heavenly Academy was simply beyond his imagination.

Fang Qing glanced over, his expression remaining calm, but a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "As expected of the number one academy on the Abundant Continent, it is indeed extraordinary."

In front of them, on the outer plaza of the Celestial Academy, tens of thousands of people were kneeling in submission.

These people, men and women, young and old, including some powerful martial arts masters, were all kneeling on the ground, their expressions devout, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at the gates of the Heavenly Academy.

"I beg the Celestial Academy to accept me as their disciple!"

"I am willing to give up all my wealth just to enter the Heavenly Academy for cultivation!"

"I have been kneeling here for three years. I beg the academy to have mercy and give me a chance!"

……

Pleading voices rose and fell.

These people are all geniuses, scions of noble families, and even leaders of small sects from all over the Bountiful Continent. In order to enter the Heavenly Academy, they are willing to kneel here and wait for their chance.

"Cousin, these people..."

Yang Qi was deeply shocked.

Fang Qing said calmly, "The Heavenly Academy is not a place that anyone can enter by kneeling. Instead of kneeling here, it would be more meaningful to improve yourself."

He glanced at the kneeling people, wondering why they had to do this.

The Celestial Academy is the true holy land of the Bountiful Continent.

Here, you'll find the most advanced techniques, the most terrifying resources, and the most powerful mentors.

As long as you enter the Heavenly Academy, even if you are just an ordinary student, you will at least become a regional overlord in the future. If you can become a core disciple or even a true disciple, you will have the opportunity to step into the legendary "Life-Seizing Realm" or even a higher realm.

The Celestial Academy represents the pinnacle of the Bountiful Continent.

But what's the use of kneeling here? If you don't improve your strength, even if you kneel and die, it won't make any difference.

"Come on, let's go in."

Fang Qing stopped looking and strode forward.

The two of them, naturally, did not need to kneel and wait like those others.

Because Yang Qi's aunt, Yang Susu, had already secured places for them to enroll in school.

Holding the letters, the two walked straight towards the gates of the Celestial Academy. "Halt!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out.

A young man dressed in the robes of a disciple of the Heavenly Academy blocked their way, his gaze icy and his tone arrogant: "Heavenly Academy, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to trespass!"

Yang Qi frowned, about to speak, but Fang Qing smiled faintly and handed over Yang Susu's letter.

"We are students recommended by Yang Susu, and we have come to enroll."

The disciple was taken aback. After taking the letter and reading it, his expression changed drastically, and his attitude became much more respectful: "So it was Senior Sister Yang who recommended you..."

He carefully examined the letter to verify its authenticity. Once he confirmed it was genuine, he immediately stepped aside and became more polite, saying, "Please come with me, I will take you to complete the enrollment procedures."

Fang Qing always had a smile on his face; this was the advantage of having a powerful backer.

Without Yang Susu's letter of recommendation, things would be a little more difficult.

Even if it's difficult, Fang Qing can still manage it.

With their level of expertise, there's no place like Tianwei Academy that they can't get into.

Fang Qing and Yang Qi went directly into the Heavenly Academy, while those kneeling on the ground showed utter shock on their faces.

"Damn it, they actually went in!"

"This is unfair! This is not fair! Why can they go in, but I can't? There must be something fishy going on!"

"The Celestial Academy is the crystallization and source of civilization. How can such a thing be allowed!"

Those cultivators kneeling on the ground felt their mentality was about to collapse, but Fang Qing and Yang Qi had already entered a deeper part of the Heavenly Academy.

Everywhere you look there are pavilions, towers, springs, and waterfalls, and everywhere you go there is a rich spiritual energy. In some places, the energy is so strong that it condenses into mist, and every breath you take makes you feel refreshed.

"The concentration of vital energy here is at least ten times that of the outside world!"

Yang Qi's face showed a hint of shock.

Upon hearing this, the disciple leading the way said with a hint of arrogance, "This is only the outer sect. If you enter the inner sect, the concentration of spiritual energy is a hundred times that of the outside! And where the core disciples reside, the spiritual energy is so concentrated that it can even liquefy!"

Yang Qi was deeply shaken upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Academy's foundation is indeed terrifying.

Fang Qing remained calm, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings as if none of this mattered to him.

Fang Qing even knew that the arrogant guy in front of him was actually just a menial student, not even an inner disciple, otherwise he wouldn't be standing at the mountain gate.

However, there was no need to say these things, so Fang Qing simply continued forward with Yang Qi.

Soon, they were taken to the "Outer Court Deacon Hall".

An elderly man in white robes took the letter of recommendation, glanced at it carefully, then looked up at the two of them and said indifferently, "Since you have Yang Susu's recommendation, then you can be considered prospective students."

"but……"

He then changed the subject: "The rules of the Heavenly Academy require you to start from the bottom. Your cultivation level can make you a menial student at the Heavenly Academy, and you can gradually advance. As long as you are strong and have enough merit, you can go even further in the future."

"A handyman student?"

Yang Qi frowned; he had thought he would be able to see his aunt directly.

Fang Qing remained calm, but the association of a servant and a student seemed odd, like linking a basketball with a chicken.

Of course, being a menial student is being a menial student; promotion has never been an issue for them. (End of Chapter)
