I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 55 Breaking Through to the Void God Realm

The Western world does not have the concept of "a teacher for a day is a father for life." Shi Daohan gave Kalman so many things without feeling anything was wrong, while the latter thought that he could not take so many good things from Shi Daohan for free.

Shi Daohan didn't stand on ceremony with Kalman. He put the large bag of magic stones into his storage ring and said, "I'm going into seclusion for a while, which could be a few days or more than a month. Remember to ask for leave for me so that the academy doesn't deduct points from my record again."

"Seclusion? What does that mean?" Kalman scratched his head.

"I can't explain that much to you, but basically you can't leave the house."

Shi Daohan strode towards the mountaintop, with Kalman following behind.

"During my seclusion, no one is to be allowed near my palace. If you encounter any trouble, go to the herb garden and find the Black Bear Leader. If even he can't solve it, go to Dean Donaldson. In short, don't let anyone disturb my seclusion, understand?" Shi Daohan instructed.

"Understood." Kalman nodded seriously.

"Alright, I'm going into seclusion today. Do you want to walk down the mountain yourselves, or do you want me to teleport you down?"

Shi Daohan found the little wolf demon Luo Pei in the Ancestral Hall and asked her questions.

"We can walk down the mountain ourselves," Kalman said quickly.

Shi Daohan smiled and said, "The road ahead is long and arduous. These 3,650 steps are a process of tempering your mind. I hope you can persevere."

Kalman understood the encouragement and nodded seriously.

After the two of them left, Shi Daohan set up several magic arrays to isolate the heavens and earth near his palace, and then began his seclusion.

She has already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. If nothing unexpected happens during this seclusion, she should be able to advance to the next realm—the Void God Realm.

…………

The moonlight, like water, poured down, creating a pale and hazy atmosphere, and Mount Sintagas was filled with peace and tranquility.

Shi Daohan sat cross-legged on a bed carved from white jade, his starry eyes open.

"Having accumulated strength, I hope to seize this moment of momentum and step into the realm of the Void God."

Time flowed by, and before we knew it, a month had passed. That night, the moon hung high in the sky, like a divine disc fixed in the heavens, making the entire Holy Dajia Peak bathed in its radiance, with wisps of white mist rising and swirling around it.

"It's time!"

Shi Daohan walked under the moonlight, dressed in white, ethereal and graceful, her steps calm and firm.

Her black hair, like a waterfall, danced lightly in the night breeze. Her eyes were as clear as a spring. She seemed to float in the air like a fairy from the moon, untouched by worldly affairs, bathed in moonlight, giving people a sense of unattainability.

"Look! There's someone under the moon!"

"It looks like that exchange student from the ancient East!"

"What is she doing?"

Many students at Horagaka College were seeing Shi Daohan for the first time and were filled with curiosity about this exchange student from the ancient East, China, whispering among themselves.

Inside a magnificent chapel of the academy, Dean Donaldson and other high-ranking figures were closely watching Shi Daohan's actions, wondering what she was planning to do after lying low for a month.

Under the bright moon, Shi Daohan stands alone, his white robes fluttering, appearing otherworldly and refined.

She took out all the spirit stones from her storage ring. They shone brightly, their spiritual energy so rich it was almost liquid.

If she hadn't set up several large formations in advance to isolate the Holy Dajia Peak, the divine light here would have pierced the heavens, making even the stars and moon in the sky appear dim and lackluster.

Suddenly, three figures appeared out of thin air. One of them was wearing a purple-gray Taoist robe and a crown that could subdue demons. He was none other than the current head of the Shu Mountain Sect, Headmaster Qingxu.

The other two figures were a handsome young man with delicate features who looked to be only about seventeen years old, and an old Taoist priest with white hair but vigorous spirit. They stood on three sides, protecting Shi Daohan from afar.

Then, all the elders of the Shushan Council Hall also manifested their phantom images in this sky, surrounding Shi Daohan and protecting her as she broke through the barrier.

"Thanks."

A bright smile appeared on Shi Daohan's face.

"To break through to the Void God Realm, one needs to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. You should have been allowed to do it at Mount Shu to ensure everything went smoothly. Who knew that this old bastard Qingxu would send you to this barren land in the West!" The handsome young man spoke, and then glared at Sect Leader Qingxu with annoyance.

This is an ancestor from Mount Shu. He looks like a boy of about seventeen years old, but his real age is over three thousand years old.

The sect leader of Qingxu could only scratch his head and smile awkwardly after being ridiculed, not daring to say anything more.

"The West is not our home turf, so it's not very safe for you to undergo your tribulation here. However, with us protecting you, there shouldn't be any major problems. Just focus on your breakthrough."

The elderly man, with his white hair but still vigorous spirit, spoke in this way.

This is also a highly accomplished patriarch of the Shu Mountain sect, who rarely shows his face. Even the sect leader Qingxu has only met him a few times.

Two venerable figures personally protected Shi Daohan, a privilege not everyone receives, demonstrating her significant influence on Mount Shu.

It's no wonder she received such treatment. After all, she was the first person in Shushan to comprehend the "Heavenly Seal Cloud Record" after the chaos of the Heavenly Collapse. She was also proficient in all systems of sword cultivation, formation, medicine, talisman, weaponry, puppetry, body cultivation, and beast cultivation. She was hailed as the most outstanding talent in the Shushan Immortal Alliance for thousands of years. The ancestors practically worshipped her. How could they possibly let her suffer any mishap?

On the other side, seeing that many elders and ancestors of the Shushan Immortal Alliance had manifested their phantom images in this world from afar, the high-ranking figures of Horagaka Academy all showed solemn expressions.

"Such a grand display, it seems Shi Daohan holds quite a place in the Shushan Immortal Alliance," Dean Donaldson murmured, wondering who would be the most suitable exchange student to send to Shushan.

"What I'm more concerned about is, what exactly is she trying to achieve by making such a big fuss?" a high-ranking official said in a deep voice.

"Let's wait and see how things develop. This is also an opportunity for us to understand the cultivators of the Eastern China," said Headmaster Donaldson.

Under the divine moon, Shi Daohan sat cross-legged and began his breakthrough!

"boom"

Divine light pierced through the clouds and the heavens, illuminating the world with a blazing intensity, as bright as day, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

At this moment, Mount Shengdajia resembled a peerless sacred land after the creation of the world, radiating tens of thousands of divine rays and thousands of auspicious colors, displaying a dazzling array of five and seven hues, making it incomparably sacred.

Shi Daohan sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, his blood and energy surging into the sky, transforming into a dragon-shaped pillar of energy that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

The students of Horagaka Academy were horrified, feeling as if an ancient dragon was awakening!

Dean Donaldson could no longer remain calm. He barked, "Quick! Shield everything that's happening on Mount St. Daga. If the students see it, it will definitely cause a huge uproar within the academy!"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials quickly took action, using magic to construct a massive net that enveloped Mount Santa Garda, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening there.

"Thump!"

Divine light shot into the sky, dazzling and brilliant. Everyone in the church felt their eyes sting and tears flowed uncontrollably. It was the radiance of a massive burst of vital energy!

At this moment, the tens of thousands of pure spirit stones piled around Shi Daohan were simultaneously activated, like a million volcanoes erupting at the same time. The endless essence and spiritual energy pierced through the sky and penetrated the vast universe, like giant dragons dancing and soaring.

This is a scene that will shake the world: great dragons pierce through the sky and the earth, so brilliant and intense that it is impossible to look directly at them.

Shi Daohan, dressed in white, seemed otherworldly, his long hair dancing wildly in the wind, his skin radiant, like a primordial deity, serene and peaceful, without sorrow or joy.

Streams of blood energy burst forth from her body, surging and turbulent like a tidal wave.

Above her brow, a dragon-shaped blood aura surged upwards from her spiritual center, stirring the heavens and earth.

This is the release of her potential!

This scene was truly astonishing, causing the high-ranking members of the Horagaca Academy inside the church to gasp in astonishment.

"Are all cultivators in Eastern China as terrifying as her?"

"Incredible! A mortal body, yet comparable to a god!"

"Shi Daohan may just be an isolated case. If everyone were as prodigious as her, China would have already dominated the world."

"That's hard to say. As far as I know, the Eastern China was once a powerful empire, but it never initiated a war with any country. They always believed in the principle of 'we will not attack unless attacked.'"

……

"Clang!"

Shi Daohan summoned his natal flying sword, which floated above his head, and thousands of purple sword energies descended, suppressing the Holy Great Peak.

Even so, Chongxiao's divine light did not diminish much, because the spiritual energy was too dense. If she were to forcefully suppress it, the Holy Great Peak might instantly crumble into dust.

"Ding!"

Just then, a melody from a zither drifted from the distant horizon.

Someone played a musical instrument thousands of miles away, producing profound and wonderful sounds. At first, it was like a gentle spring breeze and a flowing mountain stream, but gradually it became fierce and rapid, as if golden spears and iron horses were charging on a battlefield.

This is the sound of slaughter!

A thick killing intent pierced through the spatial barrier, penetrating a place thousands of miles away, and engulfed Shi Daohan.

Even with the protection of the two patriarchs of Shu Mountain and the elders, some people still couldn't help but take action, trying to nip Shi Daohan in the bud and prevent her from truly growing up.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The destructive sound of the zither shattered the tranquility of the night, transforming into a wild, unruly divine bird that obscured the stars and moon.

This is a golden-winged roc, its entire body as if cast from gold. Although it is only a phantom created by the sound of the zither, it is incredibly real, and its power is awe-inspiring and terrifying.

The white-haired patriarch gazed into the distance, his old Taoist robe fluttering in the wind. He merely snorted, and the earth shook violently, as if the world was about to be turned upside down.

"boom!"

The golden-winged roc that swooped down was instantly torn to pieces, shattering into a shower of golden light.

Everyone at Horagaka Academy was horrified; this old Taoist was simply terrifyingly powerful.

The golden-winged roc that was conjured by the zither music was something they weren't absolutely confident they could deal with, yet the opponent simply snorted and it instantly collapsed and dissipated. It was unimaginable how powerful that Taoist was.

"Zheng zheng zheng"

The music was rapid and intense, and golden dragons flew down from the sky, each hundreds of feet long, looking at them at first glance like mountain ranges that cut across the sky.

"How dare you! I call myself the Yellow Dragon Immortal, yet you insist on using a dragon to attack me. Are you trying to humiliate me?"

The old Taoist snorted coldly, stretched out a large hand, and slapped all the golden dragons formed from the sound of the zither into pieces. Then, he pierced through the void with his palm and grabbed towards the source of the zither music.

"Clang clang clang..."

A murderous aura soared to the heavens, the sound of the zither shattered the clouds, and all sorts of immortal spirits that existed only in legends materialized in this world, launching an attack.

"boom!"

However, under the powerful hand of Master Huanglong, they all turned into dust and vanished into nothingness, unable to hinder him in the slightest.

"puff"

Huanglong Zhenren's massive hand, spanning the endless void, grabbed the zither player thousands of miles away and then mercilessly obliterated him.

"He is cautious, but he only used a puppet to test the waters, not his real body." Master Huanglong withdrew his large hand and spoke softly to the handsome young man beside him.

"Xiao Daohan's rise has overshadowed the geniuses of the major Xuanmen Holy Lands, becoming a major threat to their rise. This night is destined to be anything but peaceful; they must have other tricks up their sleeves," the handsome young man said calmly.

"Who do you think will make a move to nip Shi Daohan in the bud?" Sect Leader Qingxu asked.

The handsome young man shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. After all, this isn't something that can be done openly. Why would those people willingly reveal their true identities so we can settle scores later?"

Beneath the divine moon, Shi Daohan sat motionless with her eyes closed, like a primordial deity, seemingly unmoved by anything happening in the outside world.

Soaring divine light surrounded her, and every inch of her skin was filled with spiritual energy. This was not ordinary spiritual essence, but the purest spiritual source.

Endless spiritual essence washed over her internal organs and limbs, making her body radiant, holy, and ethereal.

She is now at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as she can take that crucial step, she can successfully advance to the Void God Realm.

This is a transformation from fish to dragon; those who can successfully reach this point are undoubtedly exceptionally talented.

Whether it will be a step forward that opens up boundless possibilities, or a failure that leads to a plunge into an abyss, the final outcome will be revealed tonight.

"boom!"

The killing intent was like a sea, arriving in an instant. Thousands upon thousands of sword beams pierced through the void, indicating that another unparalleled master was about to commit murder!

This time, the murderous aura was so intense that the entire Holy Dajia Peak shook violently. If Shi Daohan hadn't set up several magic arrays to prevent the Heavenly Desolation beforehand, who knows how many people in Horagaka Academy would have been killed by this commotion!

The handsome young man shouted and spat out a precious seal, which suppressed the surrounding area!

"Click," "Click"...

The sound of weapons shattering echoed from the void, and the overwhelming killing intent was forced back.
