The area was instantly a bloody mess, and a muffled groan was heard.

"Enough, Lin Tian, ​​step back. You are no match for him." The woman with the highest status on the purple-gold warship said softly, fearing that something bad might happen if the two fought to the death.

Upon hearing this, the furious Lin Tian had no choice but to give up. At this moment, his face was extremely ugly and gloomy.

"Hmph! This is nothing more than a contest of physical strength; it cannot be considered a true battle."

He snorted coldly.

"She saved your life," Taiyin Shiyi said succinctly.

After a brief silence, the disciples of Tianyun Academy were thrilled and cheered.

Previously, Lin Tian and his monkey servants had put too much pressure on them, causing them to suffer repeated defeats, even crushing Li Yuncong. Now, Shi Yi had taken action and retaliated, finally venting their anger.

A chorus of mocking voices filled the air, turning Lin Tian's face ashen. After letting out a cold snort, he flew back to the purple-gold warship.

Yuan Tian, ​​from the lineage of the Tongbi Divine Ape, glanced at Taiyin Shiyi with surprise and fear, and scrambled after him.

It knew that when the other party attacked it earlier, it had unleashed a vast ocean; otherwise, it would have suffered far more than just severe injuries.

Even its invincible master was defeated by Shi Yi in a few moves, let alone it.

Lin Tian's defeat was astonishing news, as he had previously swept through three thousand provinces without an opponent. The disciples of Tianyun Academy cheered excitedly, and the vice dean nodded repeatedly, sending a telepathic message to express his gratitude to Shi Yi for helping Tianyun Academy.

According to the deal, he didn't need to do this. Winning first place on behalf of Tianyun Academy was enough. The vice dean knew that Shi Yi was able to come because of Bai Shine's sake.

"If there is any news about Junior Nephew Bai, I will inform you immediately."

"No need, I've already found her," Shi Yi shook his head.

"Oh? Where is Junior Nephew Bai?" the vice dean asked in surprise.

“She must have successfully forged her own path, but unfortunately, like those sages of the past, her primordial spirit vanished without a trace.” Shi Yi did not hide anything.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the vice dean couldn't help but sigh, his earlier joy vanishing almost entirely.

Just then, a melodious voice came from the purple-gold warship; it belonged to the woman of high status.

Her hair was as smooth as silk, and her eyes shone with a clear blue light; one could tell at a glance that she came from an extraordinary background.

"Brother Shi has defeated Lin Tian and is qualified to join the three major academies. Please come aboard for a chat."

Shi Yi nodded without refusing. With the Immortal Ancient Era over, there was nothing left to miss in the Three Thousand Dao States. It was time to go to the Nine Heavens and the Three Great Academies.

He sent a telepathic message to the vice dean to say goodbye, and then walked towards the Purple Gold Warship without looking back. Taiyang Shiyi chuckled and walked alongside him.

Two figures strode over and boarded the purple-gold warship, a symbol of the outer realms.

On the warship, several geniuses from beyond the realm greeted Shi Yi with smiles. Looking at Shi Yi's two clones, they were both surprised and somewhat apprehensive.

It should be noted that in the battle just now, only one of Shi Yi's clones made a move.

If a single clone can defeat a celestial being who has cultivated the Great Dao Flower, what kind of scene would it be if two clones attacked at the same time?

Moreover, the Sun Body clearly possessed extraordinary abilities beyond the physical body. Even without doing anything, simply standing there gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression. This reminded them of those supreme geniuses in the Nine Heavens who cultivated the laws of this world. They were also full of blood and qi, with extremely strong physical bodies. Although they had not cultivated immortal qi, they were no weaker than those who possessed immortal qi.

"Hehe, Brother Shi's method of creating clones is truly profound. Even in the heavens above, it is difficult to see such a thing." The leading woman said with a smile. With her knowledge, she could not truly see through the situation of Shi Yi's two clones.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me," Taiyin Shiyi replied with a smile, without saying anything more.

Seeing that Shi Yi didn't want to reveal anything, the woman didn't ask any further questions. She made up her mind to go back and consult the seniors who had come with her.

Throughout history, all methods of creating clones have had flaws; only by understanding these flaws can we find a way to overcome them.

Several beings talked with Shi Yi for a while, telling him about the wonders of the Nine Heavens, which were far superior to the Three Thousand Provinces.

Shi Yi already knew this information. The Three Thousand Dao Provinces had a vast uninhabited area, an ancient battlefield. Its environment was not comparable to the Nine Heavens, and it was even slightly inferior among the Ten Lands. However, the Three Thousand Dao Provinces was not weak and held many secrets.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group got straight to the point and asked Shi Yi, "Brother Shi, would you be willing to come with us to meet some seniors? They have some things to say, and perhaps you can even become their disciple."

“Then let’s go.” Shi Yi nodded.

"Alright, let's set off now." A smile appeared on the face of the woman in the lead.

Then, the purple-gold warship soared into the sky and disappeared from the sight of the cultivators of Tianyun Academy.

The vice president watched the purple-gold warship sail away, a look of emotion on his face.

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds." He murmured to himself, knowing that Shi Yi would surely soar to great heights on his journey to the heavens.

As the purple-gold warship sailed away, Tianyun Academy was in an uproar. Their senior brother became the first of the three thousand Daozhou beings to gain the qualification to join the three major academies, and the arrogant Lin Tian was also suppressed.

Soon, the news spread, sweeping across Tianyun Prefecture and reaching the three thousand prefectures.

In the Central Plains, the purple-gold warship broke through the void and arrived at this place.

It finally stopped in front of a cliff.

Shi Yi followed several prodigies off the ship. There, he saw three beings: three middle-aged men with auras as deep and terrifying as the abyss. They sat cross-legged, their bodies shrouded in chaotic energy and wisps of immortal energy, like supreme beings invincible in heaven and earth.

"The true supreme being."

The sound of the Samsara Wheel reached Shi Yi's ears.

These three middle-aged men were actually the true supreme beings, not some kind of cult leader.

Shi Yi remained silent. Across the nine heavens and ten earths, there were a total of nineteen ancient realms. Even in the three thousand provinces, which were considered "remote and impoverished" by those people, there were quite a few supreme beings. Not to mention the other eighteen ancient realms. Even if we exclude the consumption of border imperial cities, the number would not be small.

These three people, along with several young people, descended from the Immortal Array to Zhongzhou, intending to lead people to the Nine Heavens. Their strength was naturally not lacking; otherwise, how could the people of this world recognize them?

"good."

A middle-aged man glanced at Shi Yi's body, his eyes sparkling, and said in praise.

"The Yin and Yang are dual bodies, each occupying half of the original essence? It seems you have grand ambitions, young friend," the other person said with a smile.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple and take me as your teacher?" the third middle-aged man asked, genuinely wanting to accept a disciple.

Shi Yi secretly inquired about the Samsara Disc and the Daoist level of the Supreme Being.

"It must have been not long after he entered the Supreme Realm," the Reincarnation Wheel answered.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi understood.

He came from the Stone Clan. After going to the Nine Heavens, he would inevitably become enemies with the forces that defined the "Sinful" Clan. Now that the Reincarnation Disc cannot be used frequently, having the protection of a Supreme Being is a good thing. However, it's no good if the Supreme Being's cultivation is insufficient; they simply cannot protect him.

"I already have a master," Shi Yi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being, who wished to take on a disciple, nodded slightly.

"Rumor has it that you have a true immortal as your master, so I won't force you."

The young prodigies behind him exchanged bewildered glances when they heard that Shi Yi had rejected a supreme being. However, considering the rumors that he had a true immortal sect behind him, they felt that it was only right.

Then, the three supreme beings began to tell Shi Yi about the various benefits he could obtain by going to the three academies, such as immortal scriptures, elixirs of immortality, Dao seeds, various ancient books, and opponents like descendants of immortal families...

It also describes the vastness and grandeur of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, fearing that Shi Yi's worldview is still limited to the Three Thousand Provinces.

Shi Yi already knew all this. Listening to the descriptions of the three supreme beings, he simply nodded, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

Seeing his composure, unlike the fear and trepidation of other world's prodigies, the three supreme beings nodded in approval and held him in even higher regard.

Finally, the three supreme beings informed them that to pass the selection, they still needed to undergo another test, which was to cross a deserted forbidden zone to find a city.

Shi Yi had already experienced the dangers of the no-man's-land firsthand. He had once followed the witch and, under the protection of the Wheel of Reincarnation, was chased all over the place by the creatures inside.

This time, however, the three supreme beings will provide a specific ancient path. It will be dangerous, but not necessarily a guaranteed death sentence.

Shi Yi agreed and chose to take the plunge. Relatively speaking, the test for the three thousand geniuses of Daozhou was simpler than that of other ancient lands. After all, this realm had ancient battlefields, harsh environments, and the younger generation was generally not as good as those in other ancient lands.

"Alright, you still have some time to prepare and say goodbye to your family and friends." The three supreme beings nodded, and then ordered the leading woman among the young women to see Shi Yi off.

Chapter 292 Trial

The woman from beyond the realm saw Shi Yi off as he departed. Along the way, she was all smiles and charming, like a fairy descended to earth.

As she spoke, she probed Shi Yi's intentions, mentioning many aspects, including Shi Yi's origins, his experiences in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, the many forbidden techniques he had mastered, and the True Immortal Sect behind him.

After the Immortal Ancient Era ended, Shi Yi, as the most dazzling existence, had everything about him placed under the spotlight. Three strands of immortal energy, Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, Qilin Treasure Technique, Kunpeng Treasure Technique, Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique... there were too many to count. If the forbidden secret techniques on his body were to be spread, they would be enough to serve as the foundation for more than a dozen super sects. His luck was so extraordinary that it made people envious.

That's why this female prodigy from the heavens asked for information.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi wasn't the type to be easily swayed by beautiful women. He gave vague answers to her questions, and she didn't get much useful information by the time they parted ways.

Watching Shi Yi leave, the female prodigy's smile vanished.

"Three strands of immortal energy, one body with two forms, more than a dozen forbidden treasure techniques... This being is beyond imagination. I never thought that there would be such a person in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. He is not as barren and weak as I previously thought."

"It's a pity he comes from the Sinful Clan. Who knows what kind of storm he'll stir up if he ascends to the heavens like this?" she murmured to herself, her black hair fluttering in the wind.

……

After leaving Zhongzhou, Shi Yi didn't go anywhere else. He had already been to Tianyun Academy. Apart from that, the only person he cared about in the Upper Realm was the witch from Jietian Sect. The two had a karmic connection in the Lower Realm and traveled together in the Upper Realm, venturing into the No Man's Land and experiencing a lot together. She could be considered his confidante.

However, it is not suitable for him to go to the Jietian Sect at present. The strength of such a super sect is unfathomable. If he goes there with his current cultivation level, it will be very troublesome if the other party has bad intentions. Shi Hao and the Celestial Race are good examples.

If the Reincarnation Disc had no restrictions on its use, he would naturally be very confident, but now, Shi Yi cannot do as he pleases.

Therefore, to visit top-tier powers like the Patching Heaven Sect or the Intercepting Heaven Sect, one must have sufficient strength to deter petty villains.

He went directly to the place the three supreme beings had told him about, which was the entrance to the ancient road leading to that ancient city, located at the border of the Three Thousand Provinces and the No Man's Land, in a place called Shengzhou.

With the help of the teleportation arrays of powerful forces, Shi Yi continuously crossed Daozhou, getting closer to his destination.

Soon after, he arrived, standing atop a giant mountain, gazing at the vast, uninhabited area ahead.

Within the restricted area, towering and majestic mountains rise into the clouds, resembling pillars supporting the sky.

Shi Yi knew the dangers of the no-man's-land and naturally wouldn't easily step into it. Next, he just needed to wait for the trial to begin.

A few days later, a purple-gold warship broke through the clouds with great momentum and sailed towards this area.

"what?"

On the warship, the three supreme beings let out a soft exclamation and saw the figure sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak in the distance. It was Shi Yi, who had come to wait here long ago.

"It will take a few more days to open the forbidden zone trial." A supreme being spoke, pointing at Shi Yi. Two futons immediately appeared under his feet, quite extraordinary, exuding wisps of immortal energy.

"A futon related to a true immortal?" Shi Yi's heart stirred.

"Thank you, senior."

The Supreme One nodded. He was clearly not one of those who were hostile to the Sin Clan. He took good care of Shi Yi and thought highly of him.

Subsequently, Taiyin and Taiyang each sat cross-legged on a Taoist futon, closed their eyes to meditate, and comprehended the ethereal Taoist energy.

He possessed an extraordinary meditation cushion, obtained from the Kunpeng Nest in the lower realm. It was once used by the Ten Fierce Kunpengs for enlightenment and cultivation, and was slightly better than the meditation cushion bestowed by the Supreme Being. However, he would not show it off in front of everyone, lest it arouse envy.

As time went by, one after another, qualified prodigies arrived, all of whom had cultivated immortality.

Chang Gongyan, Qingyi, Yuechan, Cao Yusheng, and others arrived one after another. The witch also came. After seeing Shi Yi's body, she walked over with light steps and finally stood beside Shi Yi. She stood gracefully, and her eyes were full of a unique charm. Even the geniuses from beyond the realms looked at her frequently.

Lin Tian and the young man in purple armor glanced at the witch several times. Even in the heavens above, such a woman was a rare sight.

Next, Shi Hao appeared. He bid farewell to Huo Ling'er and resolutely embarked on his journey.

Immortals and ten-time champions were naturally present; as possessors of three strands of immortal energy, they were the center of attention wherever they went.

Besides, there are many beings who have not yet cultivated immortal energy. The rule set by the three supreme beings was that only beings who have cultivated immortal energy are qualified to participate in the trial. However, later they believed that some people may lack innate talent but can make great progress later on, so they relaxed the conditions. Anyone who wants to and is willing can come.

This is undoubtedly a chance to change one's destiny. If one can pass the trial, go to the Nine Heavens, and join the three great academies, the future will be limitless.

That is why many creatures come here with hope, wanting to give it a try.

However, the dangers of the no-man's-land are well known. There are all sorts of creatures, from immortal beings to yellow mud that can turn a passing old master into a bloody mist. Even a supreme being must be careful when walking in the no-man's-land, as death is always a possibility.

If even supreme beings and sect leaders are like this, let alone cultivators of lower realms.

Although the three supreme beings informed them that the Trial Path was an ancient road with a danger level that was less than one in ten compared to other areas, even if only one in ten survived, it would still be fatal.

Many cultivators want to take a gamble, but even more cherish life.

Even so, the number of cultivators who came to participate in the trial reached 100,000.

Looking at the throng of cultivators eager to try their skills, Shi Yi shook his head and sighed softly.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Ten thousand people set out, but how many will be left at the end? This is destined to be a journey filled with bloodshed and terror.

The three supreme beings glanced at the 100,000 cultivators who had come to participate in the trial, and said solemnly, "I'll say it again: stepping onto this ancient path means certain death and annihilation. It's not too late to regret it now; just leave immediately."

His voice was incredibly majestic, as if an unparalleled emperor were looking down upon the world.

Many beings were frightened by the Supreme Being's words, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty. After struggling for a while, they ultimately chose to withdraw.
