171: Cangwu College

While Xu Qing was Cultivating, news of the change of ownership in the Five Great Domains of the east began to spread further, and as the cause of the matter was revealed, it successfully attracted the attention of interested parties.

The Nanming Imperial Domain, as the center of the Nanming Divine Continent, ranks among the top ten in overall strength among the many Emperor Domains on the Eternal Continent. It boasts countless powerful individuals, and there are even rumors that in this era of fallen Emperors, there are beings beyond the Emperor Realm hidden within it.

But whether they exist or not, no one knows.

In short, it is a place where hidden Dragons and crouching tigers reside, with countless Holy Lands, and Emperor Sects hidden behind the scenes, manipulating billions of mountains and rivers.

And in the center of the Nanming Imperial Domain, an ancient power stands tall.

This is an ancient Academy, with four mysterious characters carved on an ancient stone tablet beside its mountain gate, exuding terrifying Dao rhyme Qi. The four characters are named Cangwu Academy.

The value contained in these four characters is comparable to a top-tier Emperor Sect.

Cangwu Academy, one of the three great Academies of the Eternal Continent, maintains a transcendent and independent status on the Eternal Continent. Even Martial God-level powerhouses must be polite here.

On normal days, Cangwu Academy does not show its strength, but it possesses the power to suppress over ninety percent of the Eternal Continent.

Its history can be traced back to the ancient era. Over these long years, countless powerhouses have emerged from Cangwu Academy, including some who once stood at the pinnacle of the Eternal Continent. Therefore, Cangwu Academy possesses extremely terrifying connections, which is its foundation.

Perhaps it is not the strongest on the Eternal Continent, but its connections make countless races with ancient foundations and super-powers feel apprehensive.

Deep within Cangwu Academy.

This is a bamboo sea covering ten thousand li, a Forbidden Ground of Cangwu Academy. Legend has it that it is the residence of an supreme giant.

At this moment, in the center of the bamboo sea, inside a simple bamboo house, nine Elders are seated cross-legged, while outside the courtyard, a powerful individual respectfully waits.

“Twelve billion years! The Sacred Eye Owner has finally appeared again!”

“Our Academy has guarded the Sacred Eye Secret Realm for twelve billion years, and we can finally report back to the higher-ups!”

A burst of excited voices echoed. The speaker was a green-robed Elder with a kind face. From his sitting posture, the Elder was the owner of this house.

“Boss, since the matter of the Sacred Eye Owner has reached our hands, it will surely reach the hands of those people. We should act quickly now!”

The Blue Robe Elder on the right said. His aura was like a deep sea, and just one glance could make one fall into an eternal abyss.

“If those people hadn't intervened back then, our Cangwu Academy would have produced eight Saint Eyes Wielder Martial Gods, fulfilling the instructions from above! But who would have thought that those people would dare to defy the pressure from above and still target the Sacred Eye!”

The green-robed Elder pondered for a moment, then looked at the powerful individual outside the courtyard and said, “Go! Find that Sacred Eye Owner, and no matter how many benefits you have to promise, you must bring him to the Academy to Cultivate!”

“Additionally, take a Grand Elder, five Heavenly Seat Elders, and a team of Cangwu Heavenly Guards to welcome the Sacred Eye Owner back!”

The powerhouse outside the courtyard narrowed his pupils upon hearing this. He hadn't expected the Elder to dispatch such a large force.

“Yes, Grand Elder!”

The powerhouse outside the courtyard did not hesitate, saluted, and quickly left.

Watching him leave, the green-robed Elder looked at the Blue Robe Elder and said, “Ninth Brother, go to Zhengyuan Holy Domain and bring that little fellow back. This matter concerns the higher-ups' plans, and we cannot be careless!”

“Alright!”

After the Blue Robe Elder finished speaking, his figure quickly faded and then disappeared.

The green-robed Elder looked deeply at the east, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, Ghost Cliff, one of the four great Forbidden Grounds of the Nanming Imperial Domain.

A figure shrouded in a black robe passed through layers of ghost mist, enough to annihilate Holy Emperor-level giants, and arrived beneath a broken cliff.

With the appearance of this figure, a strange building suddenly appeared beneath the broken cliff.

This was an inn emitting a strange green light. The green light was like a ghostly fire from Hell, flickering unsteadily, as if telling the world of its mystery and strangeness.

Suddenly, the inn's door slowly opened, making a “creak, creak” sound, as if it were a summons from the netherworld Hell.

A ghastly green figure walked out of the inn. His figure appeared particularly distorted under the green light, and his whole body exuded a putrid smell, making people feel disgusted and terrified.

“Hehehe!”

“A distinguished guest has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner!”

The ghastly green figure let out a chilling sound, as if it came from the depths of Hell, making people's hair stand on end. His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an indescribable strangeness.

“Hmph, cut the nonsense. The Saint Eyes Wielder has appeared, and he's in Zhengyuan Holy Domain!”

“According to intelligence, Cangwu Academy has dispatched a Heavenly Seat Elder and a team of Cangwu Heavenly Guards, with that fellow Luo Cang and four other Heavenly Seat Elders secretly following.”

“The message has been delivered. This favor I owe you is repaid!”

With that, the black-robed figure threw out a Jade Slip, then crushed a Talisman, disappearing instantly.

The ghastly green figure took the Jade Slip and looked at the spot where the black-robed figure had disappeared, an evil smile on his face.

“Hehehe, once you're on our ship, don't even think about getting rid of us!”

Immediately after, the ghastly green figure's eyes showed a solemn expression.

“However, such a large force to welcome the Sacred Eye Owner is a bit tricky, especially that old fellow Luo Cang.”

“Hehehe!”

“Xuanhuang Hall! Interesting, interesting!”

“It just so happens that Ghost One and the others aren't here, so this immense fortune is mine!”

Soon, the ghastly green figure's eyes showed a cruel expression.

“Hehehe...”

Amidst a chilling laugh, he and the inn disappeared together.

Tianwu Imperial Domain, Xuantian Realm!

Xuantian Ancient City, in a certain tavern!

“Have you heard? A Fourth-Grade Holy Sect called Xuanhuang Hall appeared in the Five Great Holy Domains of the east. As soon as it emerged, it annihilated the original sole Fourth-Grade Holy Sect, Zhengyang Ancient Sect!”

“What's that? A small Fourth-Grade Holy Sect only has some strength in those Holy Domains. Leaving aside other things, my Sword King Sect can destroy them! Is this even worth mentioning?!”

“Don't underestimate this Xuanhuang Hall. It is said that the Xu Family behind Xuanhuang Hall has produced a Sacred Eye Owner!”

“What?!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire place was shocked. They knew very well what a Sacred Eye Owner represented.

“I also heard that Cangwu Academy has already sent a Heavenly Seat Elder to welcome the Sacred Eye Owner!”

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped.

One must know that every Heavenly Seat Elder of Cangwu Academy is a Holy Monarch existence, capable of suppressing an entire region.

Such powerhouses, even when placed in an Emperor Domain, are considered giant figures. They never expected the Sacred Eye Owner to be given such importance.

“What's that? You should know that he is a Sacred Eye Owner. Of the previous eight, except for one who was assassinated midway, the others were all Martial God existences.”

“How many years has it been since a Martial God appeared on the Eternal Continent? Now that a Sacred Eye Owner has appeared, does it mean we will witness the birth of a Martial God?!”

“This will be the first Martial God after the era of fallen Emperors!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

“Crack!”

The sound of a wine cup being crushed came from upstairs, startling everyone awake.

At this moment, in a private room upstairs, a golden-robed, handsome young man had bloodshot eyes...
