Heaven-defying Phoenix

You Quan admitted it, and even informed Jiu Muli, that the hidden danger in his body was already obvious, and needed to be healed quickly. And because of Sick Scholar's mischief, he was unable to head to the Three Immortal Heavens, and had completely missed the chance.    

This day was indeed not that easy to reverse!    

Jiu Muli sighed in his heart, he truly did not know what to say. Cultivators could only cultivate, but even with the limitless temptation of power, they would still be in danger, and even someone as powerful as the Venerability would not be able to break free.    

In the end, Jiu Muli was moved and asked the You Quan Ancestor how to take action.    

"The Sick Scholar has a fatal weakness, which is that on the night of the fifteenth full moon, one's strength will drop by one great stage. At that time, it will be the best time to make a move."    

A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He was like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass in the darkness.    

"If your strength is weaker than a great stage, why don't you do it yourself?"    

Jiu Muli was astonished, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized how foolish he was. It was very obvious that You Quan's ancestor was not willing to reveal himself, which was why he wanted Jiu Muli to take action.    

Sure enough, You Quan's ancestor said helplessly: "I do not want to be exposed, otherwise I would not have come looking for you."    

"Then how do I break the barrier?"    

Soon after, they ambushed the Sick Scholar. Jiu Muli and You Quan began to discuss the matter in secret with each other until both sides were satisfied and reached an agreement.    

"When this is done, I will mention your cancellation of the Branding Contract."    

In the end, Jiu Muli looked at You Aotian with a complicated expression.    

Ever since he accepted this servant, You Aotian had always been meticulous in his work. Although he had little intentions, he had never betrayed them, and his actions made Qin Zheng speechless. Furthermore, both of them had experienced a lot of hardships, and with the way they were being treated now, Jiu Muli felt that it couldn't be any better. After all, she couldn't really kill the other party as she was very familiar with them.    

"Alright."    

You Aotian nodded silently, then told Jiu Muli through sound transmission: "I didn't tell Grandfather too much about the matter between you and him, and this Blood Fiend Mansion doesn't know either."    

"Seems like this fellow isn't that despicable after all."    

Hearing that, Jiu Muli was startled, he stood up and said: "Then that's it, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."    

"Where are you going?" You Aotian subconsciously said. He did not expect that would still run around when big things were about to happen.    

"Cosmic Star Academy, take revenge."    

Jiu Muli said with killing intent.    

"Then wait a moment. You need it."    

When Patriarch You Quan heard this, he decisively threw a token that was neither gold nor wood at Jiu Muli.    

"Identity badge!"    

Jiu Muli recognized that this was the identity plate held by the outer sect disciple of the Cosmic Star Academy. With this, he could easily pass through the Cosmic Star Academy's defensive barrier.    

"Your Blood Fiend Mansion is really powerful."    

Jiu Muli said with a smile that was not a smile. Four years ago, the defensive barrier s of Qing Yun Sect were destroyed by some unknown sect.    

"Same here, same here."    

You Quan didn't seem to want to say much.    

Jiu Muli was too lazy to ask, since all the major powers in Three Mortal Heavens were fighting internally, it would be weird if there were no spies. Originally, she had only planned to go outside of Cosmic Star Academy to guard, but now she had to change her plans and increase the odds.    

With that thought, Jiu Muli quickly made his move.    

There were still seven days to the full moon. Naturally, she did not want to rest, so she did not disturb her schedule.    

Two days later, Jiu Muli arrived at the Eastern Region's boundary. After a simple disguise, he used the transfer array to head there for the Zhongzhou Academy ruins mentioned by his principal master.    

However, when he rushed over, other than the barrier, the rest of the ruins were still open, and most of the hall inside was in ruins. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.    

"Looks like Master and the others haven't returned."    

Jiu Muli frowned, she knew very clearly that the insistence of her Principal Master back then, to return to the Three Mortal Heavens was something he had always insisted on.    

"Where the hell are they?"    

Jiu Muli sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a little helpless. Four years ago, she and Qin Zheng had met for a period of time, and their prestige was at the peak of the day.    

However, the other party had not appeared. At that time, Jiu Muli suspected that the Principal and the others were most likely not in the Three Mortal Heavens.    

It was just that there was no one he was familiar with, coupled with the fact that the Ciaran Academy had already been annihilated by Qin Zheng, it was simply too difficult to find out what happened that day.    

"Looks like this matter will have to be postponed."    

She only had one month to take care of some trifling matters, and would be meeting Luo Hongchen afterwards.    

In the end, she informed Blacky about the principal's master and the appearances of those from the same Zhongzhou Academy that she knew, and told him to look for her.    

Originally, according to her plan, she planned to have Blacky disguise herself as a pet, act cute, find a random disciple in the Cosmic Star Academy and sneak in behind them to find out about the Cosmic Star Academy's defensive barrier, and also find out about the news. But now, it seemed that she had saved herself the trouble by saying that the Blacky was not good at fighting, so she decided to go her separate ways.    

Compared to the Southern Domain, the Eastern Region had a large number of Cultivators. However, because the Eastern Region was dominated by the academies, they were not as strict as the sect. Their foundations were stable, but their realms were not high.    

"This really is similar to the universities in my previous life."    

However, in the previous life, the two greatest weaknesses of the academy were that, if one didn't teach how to conduct oneself, and if one didn't teach the student how to earn money, then at the beginning, it would be very difficult for the graduate student and would need a long time to hustle and bustle about.    

Even so, there were many times when the two sides were split. One type of people made money, but they didn't know how to live. The other type of people insisted on being human, but they couldn't earn money.    

Most of the Cultivators in the Eastern Region were about the same. Some of them had reached extreme levels of cultivation, and some were fighting steadily. Unfortunately, their Cultivation bases weren't very high.    

Furthermore, because this world was even more cruel than his previous life, it was so chaotic that it was no different from the Southern region.    

It did not have a sense of belonging, but it was just that terrifying.    

Thinking about how he had lived a normal life for the past four years, Jiu Muli suddenly came to a realization.    

The soul, the spiritual sense, was the foundation for cultivating the dao heart, and was also an important barrier to stepping into the Venerability realm.    

This was something that the cultivators of the Three Mortal Heavens could not perceive, because they were all within it. But Jiu Muli, who was watching from the sidelines, could see very clearly. At the same time, he also understood just how important his four years of life were.    

If not for her four years of experience allowing her to assimilate into this world, she would not have been able to see through this point. If not for that, if she wanted to break through the Venerability in the future, there would definitely be a very big bottle on her neck.    

Glad that she understood now, glad that she had a place to belong, and that she was able to look at people with a transcendent eye, not only at others, but also at herself, so that she would not be lost.    

For example, the strongest academy in the Eastern Region would be close to the center of the continent. At the same time, it would be closer to the North Region, and the lower its ranking was, the further the distance would be.    

The Cosmic Star Academy was located to the south of the Eastern Region, far from the center, and also far from the North Region. However, he was still the third ranked existence among the seven great academies, so he was still close to the center.    

It was the sun, the spring sun was soft, the spring breeze was gentle, and the spring water was... Forget it, the weather is of no use to cultivators anyway.    

"Senior sister Jin Yu, her merit points ranking has risen again to third place."    

"Yes, it's a pity that you came too late. Senior has already left."    

The peaceful Starry Sky Academy had two students outside of the secret realm.    

When one of them heard that their most important senior sister, Jin Yu, had left, one of them could not help but ask regretfully, "Where did she go? I was hoping to pay a visit. "    

"She went out to complete some missions. Senior Sister is about to break through the third level of Star Profound Stage, she probably wants to earn more spirit stone." Another person said.    

"What? Why is she out? Didn't the students have an order? Without important matters, she isn't allowed to go out?" That person exclaimed.    

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't tell me that when Jiu Muli doesn't come, everyone will stay in the academy forever!"    

Another person disapprovingly curled his lips, and then mysteriously said: "Let me tell you, although the Academy has an order, many instructors privately tell their students not to worry too much. Right now, Jiu Muli is in the Southern Region, and is wanted.    

At the same time, Jiu Muli, who was a thousand miles away from the Starry Sky Academy, held onto an identity card with a solemn expression. At the same time, he felt that he had owed a small favor to …    

Because as she squatted and guarded, she discovered that the Cosmic Star Academy was indeed heavily guarded. Although there were many students out, most of them had decent cultivations, and were at least at Star Profound Stage.    

It would be hard for the Blacky to fool these kind of students. Furthermore, even though she was here to cause trouble and destroy the entire clan, she was not a murderous demon. Killing anyone outside the academy, even if they were low level cultivators of the Star Profound Stage s, made her hesitate a little.    

This identity token had saved her a lot of trouble.    

Thus, she immediately changed into a set of refined bright yellow clothes, left a mark on her identity plate, and then headed straight for the Cosmic Star Academy's gate.    

When she stepped into the courtyard of the Cosmic Star Academy, she clearly felt that the identity plate on her body had a weak vibration that echoed with the barrier, then returned to normal.    

"Useful!"    

Seeing this, Jiu Muli's heart relaxed.    

Every identity badge made by the sect carried a copy of the sect's core rune s that were used to defend the barrier. Aside from a blank space, when a cultivator left an imprint on their identity plate, they would automatically record it down. Even if someone stole it and left another imprint on it, they would still not agree.    

Therefore, they had to obtain a blank identity token. This identity token was meticulously crafted by every sect, and thus, it was impossible for outsiders to obtain it under normal circumstances.    

And it was also because of this that Jiu Muli said that the Blood Fiend Mansion was truly strong, which was why he felt that he had accepted the favor of You Quan's ancestor.    

"The good show has begun!"    

Stepping into the Cosmic Star Academy, Jiu Muli restrained his own aura, and while keeping a low profile, he sized up the layout of the academy, and began to walk in the direction of the center.
