"Won't this expose our identities?"

Tang Ruyan inquired.

Although she couldn't understand Joanna's words, she could guess some of the things and felt somewhat worried.

Joanna paused slightly, then slowly shook her head, saying, "Even if we're exposed, it's nothing. The great battle back then must have been recorded. I believe the people of the ancient divine realm are also searching for the soil of the former divine realm. We originally belonged to the divine realm; we're just returning now. What's wrong with that?"

As she spoke, she became slightly agitated.

Tang Ruyan was unsure how to respond and looked at Su Ping.

Su Ping nodded and said, "That's right. Even if we're exposed, we can still get out unscathed. We can think of another way then. Anyway, we have a way out, so we can give it a try."

Seeing that Su Ping also said the same thing, Tang Ruyan did not try to persuade him any further.

"I heard from them that you are from the Yuan Ji clan. Do you want me to help you find your family?" Su Ping asked Joanna.

Joanna's expression changed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "We can't find them. During the great war back then, the clan leader led the entire clan to participate in the war. Only a few members of the clan were sent to other places to leave behind a spark of hope. Now it should be very difficult to find them."

She knew that the competition among the gods was ruthless, and that the so-called leaving behind a spark was merely leaving behind a trace of bloodline.

"Not necessarily. If we have the chance, we can look for it slowly," Su Ping said, his words full of hope and strength.

Seeing this, Joanna said nothing more. Deep down, she also had a faint hope, but reason told her that reality was cruel.

……

After choosing their respective academies, Tang Ruyan and Joanna were led away by their instructors from the Fatian Academy, while Su Ping was also taken away by his instructor from the Huntian Academy, heading to the Huntian Academy's training grounds.

The Hun Tian Academy is located amidst a cluster of floating mountains. The instructor who brought them here explained that this place is a world established by ancient gods and demons. These ancient gods and demons, having lived for too long, have fallen into a deep sleep, causing their minds to cease functioning. Their physical bodies have transformed into the earth, and their true forms have long since vanished into an unimaginable space.

Before everyone's eyes, the world was vast, and the divine mountains were like clouds, floating high in the sky, surrounded by divine mist and radiant with light. On the ground below, there were brown mountain ranges and golden divine trees, which were extraordinary. The air was filled with an extremely rich aura of divine power, about five times that of the outside world!

Those floating sacred mountains possess even more concentrated divine power, making them holy sites for cultivation.

"Our Hun Tian Academy emphasizes the principle of all streams returning to their origin. In the beginning of chaos, the Dao evolved into one, then two, then three, transforming into all things in the universe. To trace back to the source, one needs sufficient understanding and insight into all things in the universe. By comprehending everything and embracing all things, it is possible to trace back to the source and ascend to the realm of the Ancestral God!"

"Unlike the Heaven-Slaying Academy and the Heaven-Mending Academy, our Hun Tian Academy requires one to dedicate one's entire life to research. Whether it's alchemy, weaponry, military strategy, deception, or formations, all can be studied and mastered to a high degree!"

The instructors from the Hun Tian Academy explained this to Su Ping and the other new students.

Everyone listened with great enthusiasm, studying the myriad paths of the heavens, tracing back to the source, and becoming an ancestral god—this is the Dao of the Hun Tian Academy!

"This is where you will live on a daily basis. There will be one sacred mountain for every five people, and the concentration of divine power on each mountain will be equal. The allocation of sacred mountains will not take into account your strength. In addition, the allocation of cultivation resources in the academy in the future will also be equal for everyone. You will not receive preferential treatment in resources just because you perform exceptionally well."

"Of course, there are some benefits to diligent cultivation and good performance. For example, you may gain the favor of some mentors and be recommended to some masters. If you can learn something from a master, it will be of great benefit to you," the mentor said with a smile.

Everyone was surprised, not expecting the cultivation at the Heavenly Dao Academy to be so peaceful. Wouldn't that mean there was no competitive atmosphere at all?

Su Ping was also somewhat surprised, but thinking of what Joanna had said, he felt relieved. Such a fair academy would naturally have an excellent atmosphere. As for whether the academies would become lazy due to a lack of competition? That also depends on the atmosphere of the academy. If the atmosphere is good, then all the academies will actively communicate with each other, encourage each other, and grow together.

The geniuses who have made it into the Heavenly Dao Academy are naturally those who are unwilling to be mediocre, and the atmosphere of the academy will only be positive and progressive.

"Within my Heavenly Dao Academy, you must not kill each other, nor scheme against one another. If there are truly irreconcilable grudges, you may choose to engage in a karmic battle; the outcome is your own responsibility!"

The instructor said to everyone, "Alright, now go and choose your sacred mountain. Each sacred mountain can only accommodate five people. If it is full, those who enter later will choose another one."

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at the sacred mountain before them and immediately flew away.

Su Ping randomly chose a sacred mountain. Since the concentration of divine power on all sacred mountains was the same, there was nothing to fight over.

Soon, the sacred mountain was full of people. Apart from Su Ping, there were two men and two women. One of the men and one of the women were the sons and daughters of gods from various tribes, and their status was quite esteemed.

The sacred mountain is extremely large, with five building complexes. In addition to the main hall, there are palaces for servants, meditation halls, and reception halls, all of which are kept clean.

Su Ping chose a palace to stay in and planned to begin his cultivation. However, not long after, two other people found his palace and prepared to accompany him to visit the two divine sons and daughters. From now on, the five of them would be fellow students in cultivation. Since it was their first meeting, they naturally wanted to get to know each other better.

Su Ping was somewhat reluctant to waste time on these formalities, but he still patiently accompanied the two of them.

The first place they went to was the palace of a divine being. Upon hearing the invitation, the person refused to accompany them and was also cold towards Su Ping and his companions. After only a few words, the person used cultivation as an excuse to send them away.

After their initial encounter with the obstacle, the three went to the goddess's palace. Upon hearing that the divine son had not arrived, the goddess's expression turned sour, and she barely exchanged a few words with Su Ping and the others before going off to cultivate.

This incident clearly left the divine son and daughter with a bad impression of each other.

Su Ping and his two companions also didn't have a good impression of these two divine sons and daughters.

"These great clans' divine sons are indeed very arrogant." One of the young divine clan members traveling with them was somewhat displeased. Although he was not a divine son of his clan, he was still a prodigy and was unwilling to put up with this kind of attitude.

A woman from the Phoenix Clan standing nearby seemed indifferent, as if it were commonplace. After bidding farewell to Su Ping and the young man from the Divine Clan, she also left.

Seeing that the initial meeting was not going well and Su Ping felt it was pointless and a waste of his time, he bid farewell to the young god and returned to his temple to begin his cultivation.

The next day.

A deity at the Conferred God Realm came to the sacred mountain, saying he would be their mentor in charge of their future cultivation.

Only after hearing what the mentor said did everyone realize that one mentor would be assigned to every five people.

Most of these mentors are former students of the Heavenly Dao Academy who chose to stay and continue their studies after graduation. Therefore, they took on the additional role of mentors for new students, which can be considered as a task assigned to them by the academy.

"You are all currently at the Divine General Realm. Hmm, this young human brother is at the Celestial God Realm. To pass the second test at the Celestial God Realm, you must have considerable combat experience." The instructor was a handsome young man from the Divine Race, with a mature demeanor and a smile on his face.

Su Ping remembered that Joanna had told him about the ranking of the gods in the Demigod Fallen Land. However, there, the Star Realm was called a God General, but here, it seemed that only the Star Lord Realm was considered a God General.

"Could it be that after the Demigod's Fallen Land separated from the Primordial God Realm, the cultivation system deviated, and the overall combat power declined? If so, the main god here corresponds to the God-Sealing Realm, and the higher Order God level is probably the Supreme. Then the Supreme God is an existence that surpasses the Supreme."

"But in the Demigod's Fall, those four Supreme Gods were already at the top."

Su Ping muttered to himself.

"Today we'll talk about the cultivation of the Divine General Realm. This young human brother, you can listen to that first. I'll talk to you about the cultivation of the Celestial God Realm separately later," the instructor said with a smile.

Su Ping nodded immediately.

The four people beside him all glanced at Su Ping. The two who had accompanied Su Ping to find people yesterday did not show any change in expression, but the two divine sons and daughters had a hint of disdain in their eyes, as if associating with someone like Su Ping would be beneath their status.
