Chapter 137: The Sacred Institution

"I need them in order to cure the poison in my mother's body," Jiang Chen said .

"I see . " Wen Xin tumbled to the realization . She recalled Gao Yue's previous older looks and stopped asking .

Jiang Chen didn't feel disappointed at the news Wen Xin had brought him, like she had expected . Instead, he was motivated .

He had anticipated that these five spiritual herbs were too rare to be known in the Nine Heavens Continent .

However, the Intelligent Pavilion had acquired the location of two of them, which was beyond his expectations .

"Five hundred years have passed . The spirit of the universe is getting stronger . So are there more spiritual things?" Jiang Chen assumed silently .

Soon, he figured out this was exactly right .

As he recalled, the Death Warrant Flower was also a rare poison in the Sacred Zone .

Since it appeared in the Nine Heavens Continent, it made sense to find its anecdote there .

If I offer more panacea recipes and methods, I should be able to find some Reaching Heaven States to locate the panaceas for me, but…

Jiang Chen was hesitant . It was too risky for him . Besides, if he offered all of these precious resources in one package, it was like killing a goose that laid golden eggs .

I would rather train myself into reaching the Reaching Heaven State than spend resources like that . With holy pulses, it won't take me long .

Suddenly, the bell tolled loudly, and everyone at the Redcloud Peak heard it .

Jiang Chen and Wen Xin became serious immediately . It was the Natural Law Bell that was used to call on the school's disciples that had tolled .

The Natural Law School wasn't very strict with its disciples . Their style of management could be described as "free," so the bell scarcely tolled .

But once it tolled, it meant the school had something important to announce . All disciples had to gather together, including those who were on outside adventures and would receive the notification from their tokens .

"What happened?" Wen Xin asked curiously .

"Let's go and have a look . "

Jiang Chen and Wen Xin headed for the Palace of the Natural Law by airship . Many disciples had gathered on the square outside of the palace, and there were more on their way .

Like Jiang Chen, no one knew why the bell had tolled . They were chatting away enthusiastically, questioning the reason .

Several elders were standing outside of the Palace of the Natural Law, including some grand supreme elders .

Soon, when almost all of the disciples had arrived, Su Xiuyi appeared out of nowhere .

"The Sacred Institute of the Dragon Field has offered each field some places . The election of the candidates will start in half a year . To ensure a good performance, the school, together with other forces of the Fire Field, will allow you access to the Realm of Beasts . "

Su Xiuyi didn't beat around the bush . He explained the whole thing quickly .

However, since the news was too striking and his explanation was too short, it wasn't until ten-odd seconds later that the crowd start to exclaim .

"That's great!"

Wen Xin cheered up . It was good news, but she found Jiang Chen frowning and confused when she tried to share her joy with him .

"Don't you know what the news means?" Wen Xin asked .

"No," Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly .

All the others were so excited, while he didn't understand .

He came to know the situation through Wen Xin's patient and detailed explanation .

The Nine Heavens Continent consisted of many fields .

Besides the Fire Field, there was the Metal Field, the Wood Field, the Water Field, the Earth Field, the Wind Field, the Thunder Field and so on .

What's more, there were fields named after spiritual beasts .

To name a few, the Dragon Field, the Sparrow Field, the Tiger Field, the Turtle Field, and more existed .

Almost each corner of the Nine Heavens Continent had been carved up and taken by a group .

Among all of these fields, the Dragon Field was the most powerful and the center of the Nine Heavens Continent .

The Sacred Institution was a dream for people of all fields, a legendary place .

Some heroes created it after the Era of the Hero ended . They drove away monsters and beasts from the Nine Heavens Continent and won a space for human beings to live .

No group in the continent was better than the Sacred Institution .

It was said that even a hopeless case could achieve the Reaching Heaven State once he attended the Sacred Institution .

If there was an opportunity to study in such a place, no wonder everyone was eager to get it .

But anyone with sense would know this was going to be a fierce competition, where the chances of winning were miniscule .

That being said, it was also a rare chance to take adventures in the Realm of Beasts .

It was dominated by monsters and beasts, like a hunting ground . Its ownership was shared by the forces of the Fire Field .

Normally, no one had access to it .

Su Xiuyi continued, "If you're willing to go, please prepare yourselves for the trip in the following days . You'll leave for the Realm of Beasts in three days . "

"Elder Technique Impartation will let you know points to remember regarding the Realm of Beasts . "

Then Su Xiuyi stepped aside, and a grand supreme elder stepped forward .

The disciples held their breath for a second and calmed down .

Elder Technique Impartation!

Among the grand supreme elders, he was at the same level as the Medicine Elder and Elder Mo Xu .

"You, come here . "

Elder Technique Impartation glanced over and pointed at one of the disciples .

It was a male disciple . He walked towards the elder nervously under the eyes of many people .

Fortunately, Elder Technique Impartation didn't embarrass him . He only asked, "How many pounds of energy can your fist attack produce?"

"Elder, for my left fist, 3,300 pounds, and for my right fist, 4,400 pounds . But I'm best at sword methods—"

"What did you eat this morning?" Elder Technique Impartation interrupted him .

"Huh? Some crab meat buns and divine immortal tea," the disciple said in a low voice, confused by the elder .

"Not much . How could you get enough energy from so little food?" Elder Technique Impartation asked him .

"Because… because of the spirit of the universe that our methods take in?" the disciple answered him in an uncertain tone .

"Exactly . We can get energy from the spirit of the universe . This is the biggest advantage us human beings have . This way, we don't have to fight with monsters and beasts for food .

"But it's also our disadvantage, since our body can only be satisfied and maintained, not strengthened . That's why our flesh is so fragile compared to monsters' and beasts' . "

The disciples started to discuss in low voices when they heard the elder's words .

Before Elder Technique Impartation had explained it to them, they only had had a vague idea of it, but then they were suddenly enlightened . At the same time, they were wondering why the elder was talking about it at this moment .

"There's no supply of the spirit of the universe in the Realm of Beasts . "

Elder Technique Impartation immediately solved their doubts .

His words created an uproar in the crowd . Even Jiang Chen was shocked .

No supply of the spirit of the universe? Then they could only rely on panaceas to recover their energy, but they couldn't eat panaceas like food .

"The monsters and beasts in the Realm of Beasts will be food for you . You must eat meat! Especially those in the Mental Wander State, the form of holy points will require huge amounts of essence, blood, and holy souls . The blood and meat of the monsters and beasts will help you greatly .

"So, those who are going to the Realm of Beasts, you have to think about it seriously . It's a cruel world there . Many people will die .

"The Realm of Beasts is deployed with restraining orders, so it's only open to people below the Reaching Heaven State . Even if you're a disciple from a powerful family, you could die there, too . "

Elder Technique Impartation's words calmed the excited crowd down .

They would have to think about it seriously in the next three days .
